miàn duì nà jù fēng de lǐn liè zhī wēi ， lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， jiāng yī xiù duì zhe qián fāng qīng dǒu ér qù 。
面对那飓风的凛冽之威，林轩仅仅是右手抬起，将衣袖对着前方轻抖而去。
Facing the fierce power of the hurricane, Lin Xuan merely raised his right hand and lightly shook his sleeve towards the front.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dàn jiàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī dà piàn qīng sè de guāng xiá yóu lín xuān de yī xiù yú yóu ér chū ，
随着他的动作，清鸣声传入耳朵，但见灵光闪烁，一大片青色的光霞由林轩的衣袖鱼游而出，
As he moved, a clear ringing sound entered his ears. With his action, a flicker of light appeared, and a large patch of greenish light emerged from between his sleeves as if swimming out.
suí hòu lüè yī shǎn shuò ， jū rán huàn huà chéng yī jù dà de qí lín lái le 。
随后略一闪烁，居然幻化成一巨大的麒麟来了。
Following this, it flickered slightly before transforming into a gigantic qilin.
suí hòu nà qí lín lüè yī mó hú ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， cóng zuǐ bā zhōng tǔ chū hēi sè de zhèn bō 。
随后那麒麟略一模糊，张开大口，从嘴巴中吐出黑色的震波。
Then, that qilin became hazy for a moment as its mouth opened wide, expelling black shockwaves from its maw.
yī quān quān de ， ràng xū kōng fǎng fú huà chéng le bèi tóu xià shí zǐ de xiǎo hú 。
一圈圈的，让虚空仿佛化成了被投下石子的小湖。
Circle after circle, the void seemed to have been transformed into a small lake with stones thrown in.
“ kōng jiān fǎ zé ！”
“空间法则！”
"Space Law!"
“ yí ， bú duì ， zhè qí lín xū yǐng bù xiàng shì tú yǒu qí biǎo zhī wù 。”
“咦，不对，这麒麟虚影不像是徒有其表之物。”
"Hmm, no, this qilin shadow doesn't seem like just an empty show."
guǎng chǎng shàng guān zhàn de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè èr gè ， wú bù hài rán shī sè ， tā men dōu kàn chū yī xiē mén dào lái le 。
广场上观战的修仙者，一个二个，无不骇然失色，他们都看出一些门道来了。
The spectators on the square were all astonished. They could see through some of it.
nán dào zhè xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， jìng shì mǒu zhēn líng shì jiā de rén wù ， shēn jù qí lín xuè mài me ？
难道这姓林的小家伙，竟是某真灵世家的人物，身具麒麟血脉么？
Could this Lin youngster be from one of the true spirit clans and possess qilin blood?
sī xià lǐ àn àn chuǎi mó 。
私下里暗暗揣摩。
They privately speculated.
dàn hěn kuài yòu fā xiàn le bù tuǒ 。
但很快又发现了不妥。
But soon they found something amiss.
zhēn líng shì jiā suī duō 。
真灵世家虽多。
While there were many true spirit clans,
chuán chéng qí lín xuè mài de yě yǒu hǎo jǐ gè 。
传承麒麟血脉的也有好几个。
and several had inherited qilin bloodlines, none were named Lin.
dàn què méi yǒu yī jiā shì xìng lín de 。
但却没有一家是姓林的。
Could he have hidden his identity? But why would he do that?
mò fēi zhè jiā huo yǐn xìng mái míng ， kě tā yòu wèi shén me zhè me zuò 。
莫非这家伙隐姓埋名，可他又为什么这么做。
Various speculations swirled around them, becoming so diverse as to be almost endless.
yī shí jiān ， gè zhǒng chuǎi cè 。
一时间，各种揣测。
The two combatants paid no mind. Seeing their techniques broken by Lin Xuan again, the black bear's face turned completely ugly. If it was a coincidence during the first attack, this time there could be no doubt about his true abilities.
wǔ huā bā mén dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
五花八门到无以复加的地步。
He had been too careless!
ér dòu fǎ de liǎng rén ， què guǎn bù liǎo nà me duō ， yǎn jiàn zì jǐ de zhāo shù yòu bèi lín xuān pò chú ， nà hēi xióng guài de liǎn sè ， chè dǐ nán kàn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。 rú guǒ shuō dì yī cì ， lín xuān jiē xià zì jǐ de gōng jī ， hái yǒu kě néng shì qiǎo hé ， nà me cǐ shí cǐ kè ， jiù bǎi fēn zhī bǎi shì zhēn cái shí xué 。
而斗法的两人，却管不了那么多，眼见自己的招数又被林轩破除，那黑熊怪的脸色，彻底难看到无以复加的地步。如果说第一次，林轩接下自己的攻击，还有可能是巧合，那么此时此刻，就百分之百是真才实学。
This youngster indeed wasn't just an empty show.
tài dà yì le ！
太大意了！
The two old monsters had withdrawn in sequence to feign weakness, but that was merely a diversionary tactic.
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， guǒ rán bú shì tú yǒu qí biǎo de rén wù 。
这小家伙，果然不是徒有其表的人物。
After all, the black bear king wasn't a simple and foolish cultivator. He now understood what was happening.
nà liǎng gè lǎo guài wù xiān hòu tuì chū ， shì dí yǐ ruò ， yuán běn jiù shì shī zhǎn de huò shuǐ dōng yǐn zhī cè 。
那两个老怪物先后退出，示敌以弱，原本就是施展的祸水东引之策。
But knowing it didn’t matter; he was already trapped on this tiger’s back. Having publicly declared his ambitions before so many people, if he showed weakness, not only would he fail to win the alliance leader position but also risk becoming a laughingstock of the Three Realms.
hēi xióng wáng bì jìng bú shì yī wèi chǔn bèn de xiū xiān zhě 。 cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě huí guò wèi lái le 。
黑熊王毕竟不是一味蠢笨的修仙者。此时此刻，也回过味来了。
A man could be killed, but not disgraced.
rán ér zhī dào yòu rú hé ， rú jīn tā yǐ jīng shì chéng qí hǔ ， dāng zhe zhè me duō rén de miàn jiāng hǎi kǒu fàng chū ， ruò shì shì ruò 。 bù zhǐ méi yǒu xī wàng zhēng duó méng zhǔ ， hái fēi lún wèi sān jiè de xiào bǐng bù kě 。
然而知道又如何，如今他已经势成骑虎，当着这么多人的面将海口放出，若是示弱。不止没有希望争夺盟主，还非沦为三界的笑柄不可。
He naturally wouldn’t do such a face-losing thing.
shì kě shā ， bù kě rǔ 。
士可杀，不可辱。
Since he had already tested Lin Xuan’s strength, ordinary cultivation techniques were no longer useful for him.
zhè zhǒng diū miàn zi de shì qíng ， wú lùn rú hé ， tā zì rán dōu bú huì qù zuò 。
这种丢面子的事情，无论如何，他自然都不会去做。
Better to hide his weaknesses than embarrass himself.
jì rán yǐ jīng shì chū le lín xuān de qiáng ruò ， nà me pǔ tōng de gōng fǎ 。 duì yú tā zì rán shì méi yǒu le yòng tú 。
既然已经试出了林轩的强弱，那么普通的功法。对于他自然是没有了用途。
To defeat this child, only the secret technique hidden in his sleeve would suffice.
yǔ qí ná lái diū rén xiàn yǎn ， hái bù rú cáng zhuō 。
与其拿来丢人现眼，还不如藏拙。
With these thoughts in mind, the black bear king's expression became even more ferocious.
xiǎng yào jī bài cǐ zi ， zhǐ yǒu shī zhǎn yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù 。
想要击败此子，只有施展压箱底的秘术。
Having made up his mind, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of dark blood that flashed through the air. With a loud "bang," the blood burst open, revealing a flash of light. Each symbol was incredibly complex, roughly the size of a fist, with an absurd number in total. Lin Xuan roughly counted over ninety.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， hēi xióng wáng de liǎn sè ， biàn dé yuè fā zhēng níng qǐ lái le 。
脑海中念头转过，黑熊王的脸色，变得越发狰狞起来了。
These symbols shot back to his body and clearly displayed on his skin.
jué xīn yǐ zuò 。 hēi xióng wáng dāng jí yī zhāng kǒu ， yī tuán hēi xuè pēn chū tǐ wài ， yíng fēng yī shǎn ， cǐ xuè “ pēng ” de yī shēng bào liè kāi ， dàn jiàn guāng xiá yī shǎn ， yī dà piàn hēi sè de fú wén yìng rù yǎn lián 。 měi yí gè dōu xuán ào yǐ jí ， yǔ quán tou dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shù liàng gèng shì jí wéi lí pǔ 。 lín xuān chū lüè yī shù ， jū rán yǒu jìn bǎi zhī shù 。
决心已做。黑熊王当即一张口，一团黑血喷出体外，迎风一闪，此血“嘭”的一声爆裂开，但见光霞一闪，一大片黑色的符文映入眼帘。每一个都玄奥以极，与拳头大小相差仿佛，数量更是极为离谱。林轩初略一数，居然有近百之数。
A strange glow filled the area as he was enveloped by a bizarre demonic wind.
yī shǎn jí shì de dào shè dào tā shēn tǐ gè chù ， zài pí fū shàng qīng xī yì cháng de xiǎn shì ér chū 。
一闪即逝的倒射到他身体各处，在皮肤上清晰异常的显示而出。
With a piercing roar, his body suddenly grew hundreds of times larger than before.
yì máng dà zuò 。
异芒大做。
He transformed into a towering figure several hundred feet tall.
tā de shēn tǐ 。 yì bèi yī gǔ guǐ yì de yāo fēng bāo guǒ 。
他的身体。亦被一股诡异的妖风包裹。
Two heads sprouted from his shoulders, and he had six arms in total.
bàn suí zhe qī lì de hǒu jiào shēng dà zuò ， tā de shēn qū ， jìng zài zhuǎn shùn jiān biàn dà le bǎi bèi hái duō 。
伴随着凄厉的吼叫声大做，他的身躯，竟在转瞬间变大了百倍还多。
Three heads and six arms.
huà wèi le yī shēn gāo shù bǎi zhàng de páng rán jù wù 。
化为了一身高数百丈的庞然巨物。
At first glance, he resembled an ancient demon, but the aura was far superior to that of any ancient demon. His fangs were exposed, exuding a fierce and arrogant presence.
jiān bǎng shàng yì zhǎng chū le liǎng gè tóu lú ， shǒu bì yì huà wèi liù tiáo zhī duō 。
肩膀上亦长出了两个头颅，手臂亦化为六条之多。
Lin Xuan's expression changed slightly.
sān tóu liù bì 。
三头六臂。
While it looked like a giant transformation technique from afar, it was merely superficial.
zhà yī kàn ， yǔ gǔ mó yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， dàn qì xī 。 kě shì yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le gǔ mó ， liáo yá wài lù 。 yī gǔ jié ào xiōng cán de qì xī pèi rán ér chū 。
乍一看，与古魔有几分相似之处，但气息。可是远远胜过了古魔，獠牙外露。一股桀骜凶残的气息沛然而出。
They say that beneath a great name lies no empty man. This black bear king wasn't someone who would deceive the world or cheat others.
lín xuān shén sè yī dòng 。
林轩神色一动。
Speaking of which, I have something to share. Regardless of word count, you can search for "Hundred Refinements to Immortality: Illusory Rain" on WeChat and add me. There will be updates on my latest activities, photos from daily life, notifications about new chapters, and more. Please search for "Hundred Refinements to Immortality: Illusory Rain." Thank you.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， yǒu jǐ fēn xiàng shì jù dà shù 。 dàn nà jǐn jǐn shì xíng sì bà le 。
表面上看，有几分像是巨大术。但那仅仅是形似罢了。
What he was performing was a secret technique passed down from the ancient times, with an exact name unknown even to Lin Xuan himself. The classics only vaguely described it, making it very obscure.
dōu shuō shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì ， zhè hēi xióng wáng ， dào dǐ bú shì qī shì dào míng zhī tú 。
都说盛名之下无虚士，这黑熊王，到底不是欺世盗名之徒。
It was said that mastering this divine art required stringent conditions.
chā yī jiàn shì ， bù jì zì shù ， dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn ， shàng miàn yǒu huàn yǔ yǔ bǎi liàn chéng xiān zuì xīn de dòng tài ， shēng huó zhào piàn ， gēng xīn tōng zhī ， shì pín yóu xì ， qǐng dà jiā sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， xiè xiè 。
插一件事，不计字数，大家可以在威信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，添加幻雨的威信，上面有幻雨与百炼成仙最新的动态，生活照片，更新通知，视频游戏，请大家搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，谢谢。
Firstly, one must possess extraordinary talent and master the Law of Strength to perfection.
yǎn qián tā suǒ shī zhǎn de ， shì yī chuán chéng zì tài gǔ de mì shù ， jù tǐ míng zì ， lián lín xuān dōu bù tài qīng chǔ ， diǎn jí shàng ， zhǐ yǒu yī xiē xū wú piāo miǎo de miáo shù ， fēi cháng mó hú 。
眼前他所施展的，是一传承自太古的秘术，具体名字，连林轩都不太清楚，典籍上，只有一些虚无缥缈的描述，非常模糊。
Secondly, one had to be a member of the妖族and preferably have blood ties with ancient beasts, as their innate abilities could enhance strength.
chuán shuō ， xiū liàn cǐ shén tōng de tiáo jiàn shí fēn kē kè 。
传说，修炼此神通的条件十分苛刻。
Few cultivators met these criteria, let alone those who could actually achieve this divine art. Each was a towering figure in history.
dì yī ， bì xū tiān fù yì bǐng ， jiāng lì liàng fǎ zé lǐng wù ， ér qiě hái yào xiū liàn dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù 。
第一，必须天赋异禀，将力量法则领悟，而且还要修炼到炉火纯青的地步。
Was the black bear king among them?
dì èr ， hái bì xū shēn wèi yāo zú ， qiě zuì hǎo jù yǒu mán huāng yāo shòu de xuè tǒng ， qiě tiān fù shén tōng ， yě shì yǒu zēng qiáng lì liàng de xiào guǒ 。
第二，还必须身为妖族，且最好具有蛮荒妖兽的血统，且天赋神通，也是有增强力量的效果。
...
mǎn zú zhè liǎng tiáo de xiū shì běn jiù bù duō ， zhì yú néng xiū liàn chéng cǐ shén tōng de ， nà gèng shì liáo liáo kě shǔ ， měi yí gè ， dōu shì jīng tiān dòng dì de dà rén wù 。
满足这两条的修士本就不多，至于能修炼成此神通的，那更是寥寥可数，每一个，都是惊天动地的大人物。
Lin Xuan silently pondered but showed no surprise or shock on his face.
hēi xióng wáng ， yě shì qí zhōng zhī yī me ？
黑熊王，也是其中之一么？
An ancient secret technique? So what?
……
……
After facing countless powerful opponents over the years, compared to these great beings, the black bear king was merely a small fry seeing a big fish.
lín xuān àn àn sī suǒ ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù shì wú jīng wú xǐ 。
林轩暗暗思索，脸上的表情，依旧是无惊无喜。
Lin Xuan had confidence in defeating him cleanly and decisively. After all, this black bear king was just a simple-minded creature with more formidable old monsters watching his back.
tài gǔ mì shù yòu rú hé ？
太古秘术又如何？
...
zì jǐ zhè xiē nián ， zāo yù qiáng zhě wú shù ， yǔ tā men zhōng de dà néng xiāng bǐ ， hēi xióng wáng yě bù guò shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū 。
自己这些年，遭遇强者无数，与他们中的大能相比，黑熊王也不过是小巫见大巫。
As they say, it's easy to dodge an open arrow but hard to guard against hidden darts.
lín xuān yǒu zhàn ér shèng zhī de bǎ wò 。
林轩有战而胜之的把握。
Although the Black Phoenix Demon King and Wan Xia Immortal Lord had feigned weakness, in reality, they were far more difficult to deal with than the black bear king.
ér qiě ， yí dìng yào yíng dé gān jìng lì luò 。
而且，一定要赢得干净利落。
This challenge was merely a palate cleanser. If he could win cleanly, it would also serve as a warning to others.
bì jìng zhè hēi xióng wáng bù guò shì yī tóu nǎo chǔn bèn de rén wù ， hòu miàn ， hái yǒu qí yú de lǎo guài wù zài nà lǐ hǔ shì dān dān zhe 。
毕竟这黑熊王不过是一头脑蠢笨的人物，后面，还有其余的老怪物在那里虎视眈眈着。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan's face exuded a sharp killing intent.
sú huà shuō ， míng qiāng yì duǒ àn jiàn nán fáng 。
俗话说，明枪易躲暗箭难防。
Roar!
bié kàn hēi fèng yāo wáng yǔ wàn xiǎo xiān jūn dōu shì dí yǐ ruò ， qí shí tā men liǎng gè ， yào yuǎn bǐ hēi xióng wáng nán chán xǔ duō 。
别看黑凤妖王与万晓仙君都示敌以弱，其实他们两个，要远比黑熊王难缠许多。
At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed in his ears. The black bear raised its head and opened its blood-red maw, expelling three globs of thick demonic energy from each of its three heads.
yǎn qián de tiǎo zhàn ， bù guò shì kāi wèi xiǎo cài ér yǐ ， ruò néng gòu yíng dé piào liàng lì suǒ ， yě kě yǐ qǐ dào shā jī jǐng hóu de xiào guǒ 。
眼前的挑战，不过是开胃小菜而已，若能够赢得漂亮利索，也可以起到杀鸡儆猴的效果。
The demonic energy was dense, with rapid shadows flickering inside as if they were encasing some strange weapon.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng yì yǒu líng lì de shā qì yī fàng ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩的脸上亦有凌厉的杀气一放而出。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he saw the black bear king’s six arms reaching towards these energy globules.
hǒu ！
吼！
With a roar, he indeed retrieved three magical treasures: a wolf tooth staff, a huge mace, and a double-edged battle axe.
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， rú gǔn léi bān de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà hēi xióng guài yáng qǐ tóu lú ， xuè pén dà kǒu yī zhāng ér kāi ， cóng sān gè tóu lú zhōng fēn bié tǔ chū yī tuán yǒu hēi de yāo qì lái 。
而就在这时，如滚雷般的咆哮传入耳朵，那黑熊怪扬起头颅，血盆大口一张而开，从三个头颅中分别吐出一团黝黑的妖气来。
Each of these items emitted cold light.
nà yāo qì níng hòu yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn de xū yǐng què shì jí sù huàng dòng bù yǐ ， sì hū bāo guǒ zhe shén me gǔ guài de bīng qì 。
那妖气凝厚以极，里面的虚影却是急速晃动不已，似乎包裹着什么古怪的兵器。
Though not comparable to先天灵宝, they were top-tier in the玄天 treasure category.
lín xuān yǎn máng wēi suō ， zhǐ jiàn nà hēi xióng wáng de liù tiáo shǒu bì yǐ shēn xiàng yào qì tuán le 。
林轩眼芒微缩，只见那黑熊王的六条手臂已伸向要气团了。
And all were heavy weapons, over a hundred feet long, giving an overwhelming sense of pressure.
bàn suí zhe páo xiāo shēng dà zuò ， guǒ rán fēn bié cóng lǐ miàn qǔ chū yī jiàn fǎ bǎo lái le 。
伴随着咆哮声大做，果然分别从里面取出一件法宝来了。
"Can you, Lin youngster, also transform into three heads and six arms for this king to see?"
fēn bié shì láng yá bàng ， jù chuí ， yǐ jí shuāng rèn zhàn fǔ 。
分别是狼牙棒，巨锤，以及双刃战斧。
A boastful laugh filled his ears as the black bear king swung his six arms like lightning, slamming them towards Lin Xuan.
měi yī jiàn bǎo wù jiē hán guāng sì shè 。
每一件宝物皆寒光四射。
Instantly, gales arose. At Lin Xuan's head, space rumbled, with axe and staff shadows appearing above him, transforming into mountain-sized giants rushing toward him.
suī rán wú fǎ yǔ xiān tiān líng bǎo xiāng bǐ ， dàn zài xuán tiān zhī bǎo zhōng yǐ suàn dǐng jí 。
虽然无法与先天灵宝相比，但在玄天之宝中已算顶级。
The momentum was fierce!
ér qiě quán shì zhòng bīng qì ， zhǎng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， dài gěi rén yī zhǒng chù mù jīng xīn de yā pò lì 。
而且全是重兵器，长百丈有余，带给人一种触目惊心的压迫力。
Lin Xuan seemed to have nowhere to hide.
“ rú hé ， xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， yǒu běn shì ， nǐ yě biàn huàn chū sān tóu liù bì gěi běn wáng kàn kàn rú hé ？”
“如何，姓林的小家伙，有本事，你也变幻出三头六臂给本王看看如何？”
However, his face remained unperturbed.
xiāo zhāng de kuáng xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hēi xióng wáng jiāng liù tiáo shǒu bì yì qǐ huī wǔ ， shǎn diàn bān chōng zhe lín xuān lián zá ér luò 。
嚣张的狂笑声传入耳朵，黑熊王将六条手臂一起挥舞，闪电般冲着林轩连砸而落。
He raised his right hand and pointed forward.
dùn shí ， gāng fēng sì qǐ ， lín xuān tóu dǐng ， gèng shì kōng jiān bō dòng dà zuò ， fǔ máng bàng yǐng ， jiē lián zài tā de tóu dǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， huà wèi xiǎo shān bān páng rán jù wù ， cháo zhe lín xuān pū guò lái le 。
顿时，罡风四起，林轩头顶，更是空间波动大做，斧芒棒影，接连在他的头顶浮现而出，化为小山般庞然巨物，朝着林轩扑过来了。
His entire body moved without a hint of flamboyance, emitting no trace of spiritual pressure. Yet an incredible scene unfolded.
shēng shì měng è ！
声势猛恶！
Those axe and staff shadows, just three feet from Lin Xuan's head, suddenly vanished mysteriously.
lín xuān sì hū gēn běn jiù wú chǔ kě duǒ 。
林轩似乎根本就无处可躲。
As if they had never appeared, they were effortlessly neutralized by Lin Xuan.
rán ér tā de liǎn shàng yī jiù shì yī fù wú jīng wú xǐ zhī sè 。
然而他的脸上依旧是一副无惊无喜之色。
How was that possible?
tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
他右手抬起，一指向前点去。
The black bear king stared in astonishment, as did the cultivators on the square. The faces of several top-tier experts were filled with disbelief.
Facing the fierce power of the hurricane, Lin Xuan merely raised his right hand and lightly shook his sleeve towards the front.
As he moved, a clear ringing sound entered his ears. With his action, a flicker of light appeared, and a large patch of greenish light emerged from between his sleeves as if swimming out.
Following this, it flickered slightly before transforming into a gigantic qilin.
Then, that qilin became hazy for a moment as its mouth opened wide, expelling black shockwaves from its maw.
Circle after circle, the void seemed to have been transformed into a small lake with stones thrown in.
"Space Law!"
"Hmm, no, this qilin shadow doesn't seem like just an empty show."
...
The spectators on the square were all astonished. They could see through some of it.
Could this Lin youngster be from one of the true spirit clans and possess qilin blood?
They privately speculated.
But soon they found something amiss.
While there were many true spirit clans,
and several had inherited qilin bloodlines, none were named Lin.
Could he have hidden his identity? But why would he do that?
Various speculations swirled around them, becoming so diverse as to be almost endless.
The two combatants paid no mind. Seeing their techniques broken by Lin Xuan again, the black bear's face turned completely ugly. If it was a coincidence during the first attack, this time there could be no doubt about his true abilities.

After facing countless powerful opponents over the years, compared to these great beings, the black bear king was merely a small fry seeing a big fish.
Lin Xuan had confidence in defeating him cleanly and decisively. After all, this black bear king was just a simple-minded creature with more formidable old monsters watching his back.
...
As they say, it's easy to dodge an open arrow but hard to guard against hidden darts.
Although the Black Phoenix Demon King and Wan Xia Immortal Lord had feigned weakness, in reality, they were far more difficult to deal with than the black bear king.
This challenge was merely a palate cleanser. If he could win cleanly, it would also serve as a warning to others.
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan's face exuded a sharp killing intent.
Roar!
At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed in his ears. The black bear raised its head and opened its blood-red maw, expelling three globs of thick demonic energy from each of its three heads.
The demonic energy was dense, with rapid shadows flickering inside as if they were encasing some strange weapon.
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he saw the black bear king’s six arms reaching towards these energy globules.
With a roar, he indeed retrieved three magical treasures: a wolf tooth staff, a huge mace, and a double-edged battle axe.
Each of these items emitted cold light.
Though not comparable to先天灵宝, they were top-tier in the玄天 treasure category.
And all were heavy weapons, over a hundred feet long, giving an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"Can you, Lin youngster, also transform into three heads and six arms for this king to see?"
A boastful laugh filled his ears as the black bear king swung his six arms like lightning, slamming them towards Lin Xuan.
Instantly, gales arose. At Lin Xuan's head, space rumbled, with axe and staff shadows appearing above him, transforming into mountain-sized giants rushing toward him.
The momentum was fierce!
Lin Xuan seemed to have nowhere to hide.
However, his face remained unperturbed.
He raised his right hand and pointed forward.
His entire body moved without a hint of flamboyance, emitting no trace of spiritual pressure. Yet an incredible scene unfolded.
Those axe and staff shadows, just three feet from Lin Xuan's head, suddenly vanished mysteriously.
As if they had never appeared, they were effortlessly neutralized by Lin Xuan.
How was that possible?
The black bear king stared in astonishment, as did the cultivators on the square. The faces of several top-tier experts were filled with disbelief.
