Chapter 34: One-Seal Rune Master, Charging the Lei Family!
"Buzz—!"
As Lin Fan forcefully broke through the seal, the ancient wood in his hand began to hum.
"Crack!"
A moment later, a crisp snapping sound rang out in the room.
Then, a faint beam of light burst out from within the ancient wood and shot directly between Lin Fan's brows.
"Lin Fan-ge, be careful!"
Lin Dong and Qingtan cried out in alarm.
But Lin Fan waved his hand, signaling them not to worry—he felt no danger from the light.
As the beam touched his forehead, he clearly sensed a stream of strange information rushing into his mind.
Ancient Swirl Rune Seal—Rune Condensation Method.
So it really is a rune condensation method!
Lin Fan's heart stirred, and he quietly accepted the information flow, carefully analyzing it.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Fan opened his eyes with a smile. "We've really found something valuable. Inside this ancient wood is a complete rune condensation method."
"Rune condensation method?"
Qingtan still looked a little confused, but Lin Dong's expression changed immediately.
He knew very well from the Shen Dong Chapter that the rune condensation method was a crucial step on the path to becoming a Rune Master.
Unfortunately, the Shen Dong Chapter didn't contain that part.
Lin Fan smiled. "Lin Dong, I'll recite the method to you now. Listen carefully—every detail matters."
"Thank you, Lin Fan-ge!"
Lin Dong's eyes lit up, filled with gratitude.
"I've already said—we're brothers. No need to thank me."
With a chuckle, Lin Fan began reciting the newly acquired method word for word.
With their enhanced memory and spiritual power, it didn't take long for Lin Dong to memorize the full technique—perfectly.
Then, the two began cultivating the Ancient Swirl Rune Seal, each attempting to condense their life rune.
Lin Fan closed his eyes. In his Niwan Palace, his spiritual power began spinning faster and faster.
"Whirr… whirr…"
A strange hum rose within his mind as the vortex of spiritual force accelerated.
As the sound grew louder, reaching a point where it caused a subtle ringing in his ears, the rotation of the spiritual vortex became erratic, fluctuating between fast and slow in an unusual rhythm.
This rhythm was exactly what was described in the rune condensation method.
As the vortex maintained this unique rotation, Lin Fan suddenly felt it begin to emit a slight suction force.
"Condense!"
He opened his eyes and let out a low shout, manipulating the vortex to compress forcefully!
"Buzz buzz—!"
When the vortex was compressed to its limit, his Niwan Palace emitted a buzzing, like the sound of bees.
The vortex, once stable, now began to rebound and tremble violently.
Lin Fan's expression grew serious. He released a powerful surge of mental energy.
Finally, with a "pop", the vortex exploded!
"Shhhh!"
From the center of the explosion, countless thin strands of light emerged.
These lights quickly connected the shattered remnants of spiritual power and drew them back into a finger-sized rune, shining like a mutated vortex, flickering like a growing black hole.
Then, this rune began to emit suction, pulling all the scattered spiritual fragments back into itself.
"Phew…"
Lin Fan exhaled deeply—he had finally succeeded.
With the condensation of his life rune, he was now officially a One-Seal Rune Master!
"Lin Fan-ge, did you succeed?"
Qingtan asked with a hopeful expression.
Lin Fan nodded with a smile. "That's right. I've officially stepped onto the path of runes."
Not long after Lin Fan's breakthrough, Lin Dong also opened his eyes with a beaming face.
"Looks like you did it too," Lin Fan said warmly.
"Yeah! I'm a One-Seal Rune Master now!"
Lin Dong's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Haha, good. That means tonight, when we deal with the Lei family, we'll have another powerful trick up our sleeves."
Lin Fan chuckled.
Lin Dong clenched his fists. "You're right. The Lei family has crossed the line too many times. Tonight, we settle this!"
With their runes successfully condensed, the two stayed in their room, quietly meditating and waiting for midnight.
—
As the hour approached, Lin Zhentian had already assembled the Lin family's combat forces.
His sharp gaze swept the crowd.
"The Lin and Lei families have feuded for years. Tonight—we end it!"
"Lin Ken and Lin Mang, stay behind to guard Tiemu Manor. Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, come with me—we march on the Lei family!"
His strategy was well thought-out.
The Lei family had only three Heaven Origin experts left. Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao could each handle one without issue.
Lin Fan and Lin Dong, now One-Seal Rune Masters and both mid Heaven Origin, could take the third.
Meanwhile, Tiemu Manor had to be protected. It held the family's women and children, and more importantly—the Yang Essence Stone Vein.
"Yes, Father (Grandfather)!"
Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, and Lin Dong responded firmly.
"Lin Ken, Lin Mang—hold the manor. Everyone else, with me!"
Lin Zhentian shouted and leapt onto his horse, leading the way.
Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and the rest followed.
To maintain stealth and prevent the Lei family from contacting the Xie family, all the horses' hooves had been wrapped in cloth to muffle the sound.
Xiao Yan and Huo'er had been left behind—not only to stay low-profile, but to strengthen the defense of Tiemu Manor.
By now, Huo'er was at Heaven Origin strength, and even Xiao Yan was comparable to late Earth Origin.
Following behind the main force, Lin Fan galloped ahead. Less than half an hour later, they arrived at the gates of the Lei family estate.
"Charge! The Lei family ends tonight!"
At the gates, Lin Zhentian's voice rang like thunder. With a strike of his palm, the Lei family's massive doors shattered into pieces!
Charging in at full speed, the Lin family force stormed into the Lei estate!
Lin Xiao, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and the guards followed right behind.
