The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Storms Gather

Pain!

Pain that emerges from the marrow!

Heart-wrenching, bone-carving pain!

When Lin Tian opened his eyes, his mouth was dry, although his body ached, he could still move lightly without issue.

As he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the dim light of the underground palace, but a wooden ceiling.

Blanking his mind for a long time, he blinked a few times, and memories surged back like a tide, allowing him to recall what had happened before.

Clearly, not only did he not die, but he was also taken out of the underground palace. He certainly was still in the ancestral house of the Wang Family. He wouldn’t believe Wang Xingkong would let him leave the Wang Family so easily.

However, he didn’t know how long he had mixed up time, although he was sore, it had gotten much better compared to that day. At least after circulating Spiritual Qi for two Great Cycles, the pain was greatly reduced.

Struggling to get up from the bed, Lin Tian began to observe his surroundings.

Hmm, this is a room about ten square meters, with clean and bright windows, apart from a bed and a set of table and chairs, there is nothing else. Using his piercing vision, he saw that the doors and windows outside were either locked or sealed, giving him no chance to escape.

Wang Sijing was locked in the next room, and Xv Jiazhi in another adjacent room, all tightly secured.

Obviously, this place was specifically used by the Wang Family to incarcerate people, as not far from the house, there were guards with knives on their belts.

Taking two deep breaths, filling his lungs, Lin Tian shouted, ”Captain!”

These two words entered Chen Moxiang’s ears, instantly making her shiver, and without thinking, she replied, ”You finally woke up, I was worried to death!”

Hearing this caring tone, Lin Tian couldn’t help but smile warmly, feeling a warmth in his heart.

”How long have we been locked up?” Lin Tian asked.

”Half a month.”

”That long?” Lin Tian was also shocked, this far exceeded the duration he anticipated.

At this point, Xv Jiazhi’s voice rang out too, ”Master, we might be in big trouble now. Since we were locked up, apart from delivering water and food, no one has come by. They even left two tattered books here, probably afraid we’d experience mental issues from being locked up too long. I’ve already flipped through them over ten times and I’m going crazy! It’s great that you’re awake now, I feel the days here are finally coming to an end.”

After speaking, Xv Jiazhi laughed again, seemingly fortunate that life here would soon conclude.

Lin Tian couldn’t laugh at all. True, he finally woke up, but who knows what awaits him. If facing Mr. Wang and Wang Manzi, Lin Tian thought taking Chen Moxiang and retreating completely wouldn’t be difficult.

But there’s still Wang Xingkong, he couldn’t even muster the thought of resistance. It’s too hopeless!

Chen Moxiang asked with concern, ”Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body now? Don’t hide anything from me, I want to know.”

Lin Tian grimaced, not mentioning his persistent pain, simply replying, ”I’m really hungry right now.”

Indeed, he was already famished, his chest sticking to his back. Were it not for Spiritual Qi sustaining his body’s functions, after half a month without nutritional infusion, he would have perished.

Clearly, the Wang Family also knew he could be self-sufficient, so they prepared no food for him, deliberately starving him.

The so-called Fasting Skill isn’t a myth; it truly exists. However, the cultivation process is excruciating, first making hunger a habit, absorbing wind and drinking dew to ensure the body’s energy.

Lin Tian had no intention of practicing it; he wasn’t delusional. Abstaining from grains doesn’t necessarily benefit health or cultivation. Humans are mundane beings, why invert priorities?

After chatting with Chen Moxiang for a while, comforting her by saying it’s fine even without eating, he then sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to regulate his breathing.

His current physical state was really poor; only good fortune might speed recovery. He didn’t want to face the enormous Ancient Martial the Wang Family, weakened and frail.

Time unknowingly passed for two days; during this, the Wang Family already knew Lin Tian had awakened, yet nobody bothered to attend to him, nor provided food or water, seemingly wanting him to endure loneliness eternally in this ten-square-meter small room.

Over these two days, Lin Tian’s internal injuries were mostly nursed back, but complete recovery required a period of quiet cultivation.

Additionally, Lin Tian realized he had new gains. Within his meridians, some energy was still hidden, resulting from comprehending the Thousand Jin Rock Formation that enhanced his veins.

This power could greatly elevate his explosiveness by several levels, becoming even more daunting than before! This gain was even bigger than breaking through Late Stage Golden Elixir.

Yet, Lin Tian couldn’t find joy because he couldn’t contact his family back home. Liou Qingcheng and Bai Shishi were surely searching the world for him. He didn’t know the condition of Bai Shishi’s unborn child.

Just as Lin Tian sighed deeply, suddenly, his ears caught the sound of someone unlocking!

Lin Tian’s heart pounded furiously; what was meant to come had finally come!

The door opened, and four people stepped in, coincidentally people Lin Tian knew.

Mr. Wang, Wang Manzi, Wang, and Wang Sijing.

Lin Tian grinned, this lineup sure was luxurious. Wang and Wang Sijing were no surprise, but alarmingly they alerted the two old ancestors of the Wang Family.

”Mr. Lin, come with us for a trip.” Mr. Wang said in a deep voice, still with that sacerdotal demeanor, yet killer intent couldn’t be hidden between his brows.

The other three were the same; their gazes toward Lin Tian wished they could flay him alive, then deep-fry him in an oil pot.

Lin Tian happily got up from the bed, saying, ”Next time you need me, just send a servant. Don’t dare to alarm such esteemed personages. It frightens me.”

If he hadn’t spoken, it might’ve been better; saying it, Wang Sijing seemed like a berserk mother dragon, baring teeth and claws trying to pounce on Lin Tian, seemingly wanting to bite every bit of flesh off him.

As an ancient healer, Lin Tian noticed Wang Sijing’s eyes were excessively red and swollen, apparently having cried intensely. Glancing at the other three’s expressionless faces like stagnant water, Lin Tian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, was there another unexpected turn?

Wang Sijing intended to fight Lin Tian but got stopped by Mr. Wang. Then, he glared at Lin Tian, speaking coldly, ”Let’s go.”

Said, without looking at Lin Tian’s face again, with a flick of his sleeve and striding outside.

Chen Moxiang evidently heard the commotion next door, asking anxiously, ”Lin Tian, what happened?”

”Someone wants to see me, I’m going for a bit, don’t worry, it’s okay.”

After saying, Lin Tian proudly walked behind the four.

Just after stepping out of the small room, Lin Tian could feel strong winds blowing; looking up at the sky, dark clouds obscured the sun, creating a suffocating sensation.

Wind and rain both coming!
