Chapter 210: Chapter 209: A One-Month Deadline

"What’s the flaw?"

Lin Xiong asked.

Lin Fan replied, "Each Pattern Engraving Bomb can only be fired three times. After three shots, the bomb will completely explode. Additionally, these bombs consume a staggering amount of Upper Grade Elemental Stones. Although I currently have a considerable amount of them, the consumption is too overwhelming."

Only then did everyone remember how many Upper Grade Elemental Stones Lin Fan had loaded into the bombs.

Indeed, it was too much to sustain!

For a moment, many were disappointed.

Initially, they thought that with the emergence of this extraordinary bomb, the Lin Family could soar to greater heights. Who would have thought it would all be but a fleeting dream?

Lin Xiong asked, "Lin Fan, what should we do then?"

After thinking, Lin Fan said, "Well, Grandfather, please help me prepare some materials. I will personally make a bomb. No matter what, we need to attack the City Lord Mansion. Besides, Li Ziyan is still in the Heavenly Prison there; we must rescue him!"

Lin Xiong, somewhat surprised, asked, "You can make a bomb?"

Lin Fan replied with a smile, "Although the bombs I make will also consume a considerable amount of Upper Grade Elemental Stones, at least they can be used for both offense and defense!"

Lin Xiong said, "Alright, tell me what materials you need? I will find a way to gather them!"

Lin Fan nodded.

Then, Lin Fan gave Lin Xiong a list of materials.

After reading the list, Lin Xiong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Lin Fan asked, "Grandfather, is it difficult?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, gathering these materials will indeed be tough. But... don’t worry, Fan, even if it’s difficult, I will gather them for sure. I promise to have all the materials ready within five days!"

"Ha!"

Lin Fan also said, "Five days are not a problem. Currently, the City Lord Mansion is also severely weakened. It’s unlikely they’ll make another move soon. Even if they do, our defensive arrays are strong enough to withstand them, and moreover, we still have four bombs. Though we may not be strong enough to attack, we are certainly more than capable of defending."

Lin Xiong said, "Fan, my only worry is whether the Poison Sect might send more experts."

Lin Fan shook his head, "That shouldn’t happen. The Poison Sect has few experts in the Barbarian land, and they all have their own missions. So, no experts are likely to come here any time soon."

Everyone nodded in relief.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, I am off to cultivate."

These days, Lin Fan had been focusing on cultivating the Pattern Engraving Skill and making Pattern Engraving Bombs. He constantly summoned the power of pattern engraving, and Lin Fan had realized that these forces could actually be used to impact the Soul Eyes.

Thus, Lin Fan planned to meditate and use the power of pattern engraving to attempt impacting his Soul Eyes.

Currently, Lin Fan had opened a total of twenty-five Soul Eyes. He just needed to open six more to break through Profound Martial and reach Earth Martial Level.

Without a doubt, once Lin Fan’s cultivation reached Earth Martial Level, his combat prowess would definitely be even more terrifying.

At that time, he might truly be able to fight against those at the late phase of Heavenly Martial Level. Even if he couldn’t defeat them, it would at least be feasible to retreat gracefully.

Quickly, Lin Fan had reached his private Cultivation Secret Room.

However, Lin Fan did not start practicing Ancient Dominating Soul Technique right away. Instead, he began to cultivate the Pattern Engraving Skill. He needed to keep his condition as a Pattern Engraving Master at its peak before he could mobilize even more power from the Pattern Engraving to impact his Soul Eyes.

Finally, everything was ready.

Endless pattern engraving power was fully stored in the meridians within Lin Fan’s body, ready to be unleashed. Once Lin Fan summoned it, he could continue impacting his Soul Eyes.

"Begin!"

Lin Fan deeply roared in his heart.

Boom...

The power of pattern engraving was activated by Lin Fan, and within his body, it stormed towards the remaining Soul Eyes like a violent tidal surge.

Crack...

A loud sound burst within Lin Fan’s body.

Another Soul Eye was impacted open.

However, the power of pattern engraving remained strong.

"Perhaps I can continue impacting."

Lin Fan didn’t pause, continuing to impact the next Soul Eye.

The next Soul Eye was also opened effortlessly, and Lin Fan proceeded to impact the third one.

In this way, Lin Fan opened a total of three more Soul Eyes, and only then did the power of pattern engraving within his body dissipate.

"Phew!"

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Now, having opened twenty-eight Soul Eyes, he was only three short of reaching Earth Martial Level.

"I wonder just how strong my current combat abilities are?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit expectant.

Then, Lin Fan began to check his own physical condition.

"Hmm?"

But the next moment, Lin Fan’s brow slightly furrowed, secretly thinking, "Combat strength seems to have not improved?"

This puzzled Lin Fan.

In his opinion, after opening three more Soul Eyes, his combat strength should have increased, but it hadn’t.

Lin Fan was certain that something was off.

However, he quickly regained composure, "It doesn’t matter. Even though my combat strength hasn’t increased for the moment, once my cultivation reaches Earth Martial Level, my combat strength will inevitably rise again."

Lin Fan was quite open-minded about it.

Simultaneously, the Poison Sect’s Black Robed Envoy had communicated with the upper echelons of the Poison Sect, detailing the situation in Heavenly Martial City.

Originally, the Black Robed Envoy thought that after reporting the situation here, the high-level officials of the Poison Sect would surely send someone.

But...

He hadn’t anticipated that not only did the upper echelons not plan to send anyone, they were also furious. In their view, a Black Robed Envoy, an expert of King Profound Realm, couldn’t handle a mere Heavenly Martial City?

This was a display of incompetence.

In the end, the upper echelons of the Poison Sect issued a final order to the Black Robed Envoy, giving him one month’s time. After a month, if the Black Robed Envoy couldn’t handle Heavenly Martial City, he would have to take his own life.

Left without a choice, the Black Robed Envoy could only agree.

Then, an intense rage emanated from the Black Robed Envoy, and a cold aura was released from his body.

"Lin Fan, even if you have that extraordinary bomb, what of it? I must kill you, hmph, and I will make sure you suffer before you die."

The hatred the Black Robed Envoy harbored towards Lin Fan had reached a frightful level.

"One month’s time is enough for me to prepare a lot."

The face of the Black Robed Envoy darkened.
