Chương 10: Can you really help me refine this elixir?

Hai Bodong stared at the boy in front of him, his mind churning with countless questions.

He kept that tattered map on his person for many years and never mentioned it to anyone.

How did the boy know that?

"Kid, I don't know where you heard that news from."

Hai Bodong said in a deep voice.

"But I will not give you this fragment of the map."

He paused, then continued.

"I don't know what this incomplete map is either."

"But my intuition tells me that this fragment of the map is something special."

"I went to great lengths to obtain it back then, and you dare to steal it from me?"

Hai Bodong sized up Lin Tian, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

How strong can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy be?

Although his fighting spirit was sealed, his strength dropped to the level of Dou Ling.

But he's not someone a mere kid can compare to.

"Even if I'm not as good as I was in my prime, I'm still not someone a kid like you can compare to."

Hai Bodong said coldly.

"If you know what's good for you, leave now. Don't make a fool of yourself."

"I've lived this long, what kind of genius haven't I seen?"

"I've seen plenty of young people like you who are so ignorant and arrogant."

"In the end, none of them had a good ending."

"I'll say this one last time: leave now, and I can pretend nothing ever happened."

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Lin Tian looked at him, his face expressionless.

"Give me the fragment of the map."

He said lightly.

"dream."

Hai Bodong snorted coldly.

Without further ado, he channeled his fighting spirit and struck Lin Tian with a palm.

This palm strike was swift and ruthless, aimed directly at Lin Tian's face.

Lin Tian turned his head to avoid it, and then slapped Hai Bodong in the chest with his palm.

Hai Bodong raised his hand to block, only to feel his arm go numb from the impact.

He was startled; the boy's fighting spirit was so profound.

Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and struck out with both palms.

He struck Lin Tian's throat with his left palm and slapped his abdomen with his right palm.

The two palms struck simultaneously, blocking Lin Tian's retreat.

Lin Tian turned his body and dodged the two palms.

He lunged forward and slapped Hai Bodong on the shoulder.

Hai Bodong dodged to the side and threw a punch at Lin Tian's temple.

This punch was accompanied by the sound of wind breaking through the air, and it was extremely powerful.

Lin Tian raised his hand to block, followed by another palm strike.

This palm strike landed squarely on Hai Bodong's chest.

Hai Bodong grunted and staggered back five or six steps before regaining his balance.

He clutched his chest, looked up, and stared at Lin Tian in shock.

Battle Emperor.

This young man's strength has definitely reached the Dou Huang level.

A Dou Huang at the age of fifteen or sixteen? There is no such prodigy in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

He didn't believe it.

How could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy possibly have the strength of a Dou Huang?

You must be imagining things.

Hai Bodong channeled all his fighting spirit and unleashed a barrage of attacks with both palms.

This time he held nothing back.

Lin Tian raised his hand to meet him.

The two palms collided, and Hai Bodong was sent flying backward.

He crashed into the wall behind him, slid to the ground, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Hai Bodong raised his head and looked at Lin Tian.

The boy's strength far exceeded his expectations.

No matter what moves he made, Lin Tian could easily neutralize them.

Moreover, the opponent's fighting spirit showed no signs of weakening; on the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger.

Hai Bodong knew he was no match for them.

Continuing to fight will only lead to a more crushing defeat.

"You win."

Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and took out the yellowed, tattered map from his pocket.

He glanced at the incomplete map in his hand.

He kept this picture hidden for so many years and never showed it to anyone.

Now it has to be handed over to a complete stranger.

Hai Bodong was unwilling, but he was inferior in skill and had nothing to say.

He tossed the incomplete map to Lin Tian.

"I admit defeat because my skills are inferior."

The fragments of the map lay on the ground.

Lin Tian bent down to pick it up and glanced at it.

The drawings were yellowed, with jagged edges and some blurry lines.

That's right, a fragment of the painting of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

He carefully put away the remaining map and prepared to leave.

A system panel suddenly popped up in front of me.

[Quest triggered: Help Hai Bodong restore the fighting spirit sealed by Queen Medusa.] [Task objective: Refine a Calamity-Breaking Pill to break the seal.] [Task Reward: One daily login reward across all realms.] Lin Tian stopped in his tracks after seeing the system's notification.

An opportunity to sign in across all realms.

The Death Spider King, who signed in last time, doubled his Devouring effect.

If he draws something good again, his strength will increase significantly.

This reward is too good to pass up.

He turned around and looked at Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong was leaning against the wall as he stood up, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes still showing a hint of fear as he looked at Lin Tian.

"The seal within you was placed by Queen Medusa, wasn't it?"

Lin Tian spoke up.

Hai Bodong's expression changed upon hearing this.

This boy even knows this.

"I can help you refine the Tribulation-Breaking Pill to break the seal and restore your strength."

Lin Tian said calmly.

Hai Bodong was stunned.

Breakthrough Pill.

Grade 6 elixir.

Specialized in breaking sealing techniques.

This young man not only knew who placed the seal on him, but also knew that the Breaking Calamity Pill could break it.

"You... you can really refine the Tribulation-Breaking Pill?"

Hai Bodong's voice was trembling.

He has been trapped by this seal for far too many years.

From a Douhuang powerhouse to his current state.

The Ice Emperor of yesteryear was one of the ten strongest warriors of the Gama Empire.

Hai Bodong stared at Lin Tian, his eyes filled with wariness.

Hai Bodong remained silent for a moment.

He looked at Lin Tian, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"If you can truly help me break the seal and restore my fighting spirit..."

He said in a deep voice.

"I'm willing to stay by your side for a year."

"Throughout this year, I have been at your beck and call."

Lin Tian looked at him without saying a word.

Hai Bodong thought he was not satisfied, so he added.

"I keep my word."

"As long as you are willing to help me regain my strength."

"Okay," Lin Tian said.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

how many years.

He's been trapped by this damned seal for so many years.

Now we finally see hope.

Although this boy is indeed too young.

Yet he could defeat him with a single palm strike and also refine sixth-grade pills.

Following him is a good deal.

"I am Hai Bodong, and I keep my word."

He looked at Lin Tian and said, word by word.

"From this day forward, I will stay by your side."

"Within one year, you are at my beck and call."

"I don't even know your name."

Lin Tian paused in his steps.

"Lin Tian".

After saying that, he disappeared through the doorway.

Hai Bodong stood still, leaning against the wall, not moving for a long time.

Lin Tian.

He silently repeated the name in his mind.

My fingers were trembling slightly.

It wasn't because of the injury from that palm strike.

It's because of excitement.

After being sealed away for so many years, I finally have the chance to recover.

Hai Bodong murmured to himself.

One year.

Just one year.

He'd be willing to do anything to regain his strength, not just for a year, but for three.

He took a deep breath and walked to the chair to sit down.
