Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Chapter 374: 301

The greatest growth for a body cultivator comes from sparring, even hand-to-hand combat.

How quickly Lin Shiming could improve was all thanks to the duels with the Red-haired Demon Monkey transformed into a giant ape.

As the rising sun reached sufficient height, the area became crowded with Loose Cultivators, and the scene grew noisier.

This martial arts competition didn’t restrict Loose Cultivators from watching, and for those who were resting, watching others compete was also a way to improve themselves.@@@@

Even this made Qingyun Square Market busier than usual.

Cultivators were coming and going non-stop.

Of course, aside from watching the arena matches, they also planned to secure a shop for themselves after family clans established their dominance.

Among the Loose Cultivators were not only traders but also Artifact Refiners and Alchemists; owning a shop could unquestionably smooth out their path of immortal cultivation.

This made Lin Shiming somewhat surprised, thinking that perhaps the Xing County Square Market could do the same in the future, offering some of the shops to Loose Cultivators.

By organizing such competitions, they could also attract Loose Cultivators to join them and increase the renown of Xing County Square Market.

However, for Lingnan County Square Market, the Lin Family had no desire for it to grow too much.

While Lin Shiming was pondering, Zhang Haoling got the signal from the manager and flew up into the air.

"Alright, the defense of the arena officially begins, each person can only defend one arena, attack one arena, everyone has two opportunities to challenge an arena..."

With Zhang Haoling’s announcement, the grand competition of the square market was unveiled.

The manager, as the greatest witness, also found a spot and leisurely sat down.

Watching as the cultivators went to defend or challenge the arenas!

Lin Shiyi was the first to take up a position in a cross-shaped arena, while Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu also went to their respective arenas.

The outcome was quickly determined.

Apart from Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, Lin Shiyi also went up to challenge again, this time succeeding, but soon after defending the arena, he was defeated again.

Lin Shiming was considering whether to console him when he noticed that Lin Shiyi was extremely excited, with a silly grin beneath his weary eyes.

For him, what mattered was not winning or losing, but what he could learn and how he could hone his skills in the fight.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming smiled, instructed Lin Shiyi to keep an eye on Lin Zekong and Lin Zelu, and then he headed towards an arena.

It was the number twenty arena.

The time was about right; he was ready to challenge.

The defender of the number twenty arena was Chen Family’s patriarch, Chen Xuankong, while the number thirty arena was defended by Zhang Haogang.

It wasn’t Zhang Haoling; of course, Lin Shiming wouldn’t challenge Zhang Haogang’s arena since winning would only lead to a match against Zhang Haoling.

Seeing Lin Shiming approaching, Chen Xuankong’s gaze grew unfriendly, and he communicated through a private message.

"You junior, how could you be so unaware of your limits? You’ve offended the Zhang Family before entering the square market, and now my Chen Family too. Even when Lin Xianzhi was alive, he would call me ’brother’."

Chen Xuankong’s message was clearly aggravated.

At the small Foundation Establishment gathering, it was Lin Shiming who first agreed with Zhang Haoling’s proposal, and now Lin Shiming, a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was challenging him, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, for the number twenty arena.

"Retreat now, out of respect for Lin Xianzhi, and I won’t harm you. You have time to fight for the number fifteen arena!"

"Chen Dao-friend, no offense!" Lin Shiming responded, his expression unchanged.

The shop before them was equally important to the Lin Family, so naturally, he wouldn’t back down.

However, since Chen Xuankong knew his great-uncle and had even advised him, though harshly,

Lin Shiming didn’t mind ’pouring water’ at the critical moment.
