In his past life, after the downfall of the Luo clan, Luo Ning wandered the country and unexpectedly witnessed a fierce battle between several members of the Lin clan and a powerful figure. He narrowly escaped death due to his low strength, but the Lin clan members perished at the hands of the powerful individual. After the powerful figure left, he looted the bodies of the deceased and, by chance, cracked the mechanism in one of their storage rings, obtaining a cultivation technique—
Nine Heavens Demonic Hand.
That cultivation technique greatly helped Luo Ning's later practice, and he continued to use the Nine Heavens Demonic Hand until he was besieged and perished.
Countless martial artists died at the hands of his demonic twin blades in his past life.
Unfortunately, the Nine Heavens Demonic Hand technique that he obtained from that powerful figure was only the first half; he never got the second half before his death.
Now that Luo Ning has been reborn, he originally planned to try his luck in that area after the Luo clan was destroyed, but it seems that this is not going to work.
Perhaps his rebirth triggered a butterfly effect, and so many things are different from his previous life. Even if he had the chance to go there, Luo Ning could not guarantee that his experiences in his previous life would be reproduced without any errors.
Moreover, even if he obtained the Demonic Hand, it would only be the first half, while Luo Ning was pursuing the complete technique!
"No, I have to fight for it myself!"
The Nine Heavens Demonic Hand is not a mysterious technique. On the contrary, many martial artists in the Northern Divine Region have heard of its great reputation. This is because Lin Chen, the current head of the Lin family and the Demon Emperor of the Northern Divine Region, started his career with this technique. There are also rumors that the Nine Heavens Demonic Hand was created by Lin Chen, which is why it is so famous.
"Your Highness, is this true?"
Luo Ning asked in a deep voice, "But we are both members of the Luo clan. It would be inappropriate for us to obtain the cultivation techniques of your Lin clan, wouldn't it?"
He was worried that this guy might have tampered with the technique.
"That's right, it's definitely not appropriate."
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng readily admitted it.
He said with a smile, "So if you two win first place in the martial arts competition, I will prohibit you from choosing some of the techniques. I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide alone. If I let you choose freely, given the current relationship between the Lin family and the Luo family, it will definitely be detrimental to the Lin family in the future, so please understand."
"Of course."
Luo Haoqun put himself in Lin Feng's shoes. If he were in Lin Feng's position, he probably wouldn't have given the two outsiders the opportunity to participate in the martial arts tournament. Even if he did, he wouldn't have allowed them to enter the family's important territory and freely choose treasures.
Lin Feng has been generous enough to them.
"I'm glad you understand."
"Your Highness, please forgive my directness, but I would like to ask if the Lin family possesses a cultivation technique called the Nine Heavens Demonic Evolution Hand?"
This cultivation technique is very famous, so Luo Ning's eagerness at this moment is perfectly normal in the eyes of others.
"That's right. Any core disciple of the Lin family is qualified to take and cultivate that technique, but very few people can cultivate it to its fullest potential."
"So, this cultivation technique isn't a secret, right?"
Luo Ning suppressed his excitement and spoke as calmly as possible.
The idea that no one can cultivate to the ultimate level is just a bunch of useless people!
Having cultivated the first level of the Chaos Ancient Scripture, Luo Ning naturally felt that this was not a problem. As long as he could obtain the Nine Heavens Demonic Hand, he would not have to worry about lacking cultivation techniques for a long time.
Moreover, he was very familiar with the Demonic Hand Technique. If Lin Feng tampered with the technique, he would be able to detect it in time and wouldn't be blindly practicing it.
Lin Feng naturally understood what he meant, so he smiled and nodded: "Of course it's not a secret. According to the usual rules, clansmen must first cultivate the first half of the Nine Heavens Demonic Evolution Manual. Only after they have successfully cultivated it will they be qualified to obtain the second half of the manual."
"However, since this is a martial arts tournament, these rules naturally don't apply. If you want it, then strive to get first place. Even if some clansmen are dissatisfied with you, I will still hand over the Demonic Evolution Hand to you despite the pressure."
"With Your Highness's words, I can rest assured."
Luo Ning gave a forced smile.
He wasn't like Luo Haoqun, who would be grateful to Lin Feng for such a small gain.
He could naturally see that Lin Feng was faking it, so why not go with the flow?
If Lin Feng wanted to appear kind and generous in front of them, he would inevitably have to accept their rewards. He might as well take advantage of this opportunity to grow stronger.
“Father can’t let us stay at the Lin family forever, but it’s also hard to guarantee that Lin Feng will always be kind to us.”
He now faced two paths.
After cultivating and breaking through to the Divine Realm, he would find an opportunity to escape the Lin Clan and fly far away, where no one could find him.
He will cultivate, wait for someone from the Luo family to come and take him back to the Luo family, then steal some rare and precious materials and escape far away.
Regardless of which path he chooses, he is now determined to cultivate himself diligently.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Luo Ning had no feelings for the Luo family; he only considered his own interests.
He took a deep breath, his breathing much deeper and more steady than before.
As expected of a protagonist with a high value of Destiny Points, he's much better than that idiot Xiao Han.
Knowing how to be patient and accumulate strength for a future breakthrough, this kind of temperament alone is something that even a hundred Xiao Hans couldn't match.
Unfortunately, he encountered Lin Feng, who was a transmigrator with a system.
A few days later, the martial arts competition was held as scheduled.
In the past few days, Luo Haoqun has frequently visited Lin Feng's residence, treating him as a close confidant, and often seeking Lin Feng's opinion on many issues beforehand.
“I know it may be inappropriate to say these things to Your Highness, but that’s just how my father is. Although he is powerful and a genius, he is too stubborn and inflexible. Many elders and clansmen in the family do not want to be enemies with the Lin family, but he is obstinate and insists on getting an explanation for the scar on his face.”
Luo Haoqun sighed, his expression revealing his exhaustion.
"During this period, the Luo family was in complete chaos, and even my father was barely able to keep things under control."
Lin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes becoming meaningful.
"If you feel dissatisfied, then set about changing him. With your talent and ability, it's not difficult to do what you want."
Luo Haoqun's heart skipped a beat, and he snapped back to his senses, cupping his hands and saying, "Your Highness, I have said too much."
"It's alright. Tomorrow is the martial arts tournament. Go back and prepare well. I will pretend I don't know anything about what happened today."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After Luo Haoqun returned to his residence, Mo Yuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hahaha... Look at you, you coward! Even Lin Feng knows what you're thinking right now!"
"Let me tell you the truth, if you want to seize the position of head of the Luo family, Lin Feng will not only not stop you, but will also do his best to support you! Because you are much more sensible than that old man Luo Shengfeng. If you take that position, wouldn't the current problems between the Lin family and the Luo family simply disappear on their own?"
"...You're right! I must get that position!"
Luo Haoqun clenched his fists, his tone firm.
