Chapter 183: Chapter 183

Liu Changyuan, utterly shocked, exclaimed, “How did Su Lin cultivate? In just a few days, he jumped from the early stage of a grandmaster to the late stage. At this rate, won’t he become the youngest land immortal in the country?”

“Are you sure, Dad? Su Lin has reached the late stage of a grandmaster?” Liu Xiaoe asked incredulously.

Liu Changyuan nodded: “Yes, your father is a grandmaster after all. I wouldn’t sense it wrong. If Su Lin wasn’t only eighteen years old, I’d suspect him of being some old monster.”

Looking at Su Lin with some concern, Liu Changyuan realized he had made an enemy out of someone with a limitless future, all for an old friend. The thought of offending a grandmaster with such potential made Liu Changyuan feel uneasy.

Seeing Song Juncheng being flung away, the two grandmasters from the Song family rushed to check on his condition.

One of them checked Song Juncheng’s breathing and rasped, “His breath is weak. He could die at any moment without immediate treatment.”

“Let’s get the young master treated first.”

“Alright!”

As they prepared to leave with Song Juncheng, Su Lin intervened: “Did I say you could leave?”

Then, casually tossing a Seven Revolutions Resurrection Pill to Song Zhigang, he added, “This can save your life.”

Song Zhigang sniffed the pill and was instantly shocked by its potency. Without hesitation, he swallowed it.

Only then did Su Lin turn to the Song family grandmasters: “You think you can come and go as you please?”

The grandmasters were taken aback, realizing Su Lin wasn’t going to let them off easily. Facing him, their chances of winning were slim.

After exchanging glances, they attempted to flee in different directions. But Su Lin wasn’t about to let them escape so easily.

With a flick of his fingers, two silver needles appeared in his hand, which he launched as Sunflame Needles.

The grandmasters stumbled mid-air and coughed up blood before fleeing again, this time faster and more decisively. The grandmaster carrying Song Juncheng even dropped him and ran.

“Are we just letting them go?” Liu Xiaoe muttered softly.

Liu Changyuan sighed, “Master Su didn’t let them go; he’s sending them to deliver a message. They’re barely alive now. Once they reach the Song family and exhale their last breath, they’ll die.”

“Ah! Isn’t he afraid of the Song family seeking revenge in Donghai?” Liu Xiaoe exclaimed.

Liu Changyuan glanced at Song Zhigang, who was healing: “He’s probably counting on it. The descendant of the miracle doctor has provoked someone formidable. With Su Lin’s growth rate, even the miracle doctor himself might meet his end. Xiaoe, we better not get involved in such conflicts in Donghai in the future.”

“Ah! But Dad, you’re the director of the Donghai office. If you don’t manage, won’t Donghai become chaotic?”

Liu Changyuan bitterly smiled, “Even if I did intervene, Donghai would still be chaotic. I’ll report the situation truthfully, and let the higher-ups decide.”

“Ah! So, what do we do now?”

“What else can we do? Collect the body. That Song Juncheng is probably dead. We’ll gather him up and later send him back to the Song family.”

After speaking, he added, “I used to think Xiao Chen was too timid. Now it seems he was shadowed by previous losses.”

As Liu Changyuan went to collect the body, Su Lin asked Song Zhigang, “Can you walk now?”

Song Zhigang opened his eyes, much healthier in complexion, “Yes, this pill is miraculous. It stabilized my internal injuries in minutes and continues to heal me. I’ll probably recover in a few days and might even improve further. I didn’t expect to turn misfortune into a blessing this time.”

Su Lin laughed, “How do you know you haven’t jumped from one fire pit into another? You know my adversaries aren’t limited to Xiao Chen but also include that miracle doctor.”

Song Zhigang replied lightly, “I’ve already almost died once. The time I have now is just borrowed. I should thank you, but I don’t understand why you brought the Song family here.”

Su Lin revealed, “Of course, to kill your wicked brother and elevate you to the head of the family.”

“Huh?” Song Zhigang smiled bitterly, “I really don’t know what I did to deserve your favor, Su, to the point of making an enemy of the entire Song family.”

Su Lin laughed heartily, “You’ve got it wrong, Song Zhigang. I value your character, but it’s only a small part. What I truly value is the resources of the Song family. As the top family in Jingzhou, supporting the cultivation of my girlfriends shouldn’t be a problem.”

Understanding Su Lin’s true intent, Song Zhigang realized Su Lin didn’t just want him as a fighter but also wanted the entire Song family to provide resources for his beloveds’ cultivation.

“So that’s the plan.”

Su Lin nodded, “My Quan Le Guo supermarket is struggling to expand in Jingzhou. Once you take over the Song family, help me out. It’s a win-win.”

Song Zhigang nodded, not resentful for being used by Su Lin as a tool for his gains. The reason was simple: Su Lin was only eighteen, yet already a late-stage grandmaster.

Such a person was bound to break through to legendary realms. At that point, even casual insights from Su Lin would be more valuable than ten years of his own cultivation.

Following such a promising youth was the path to a brighter future. Su Lin’s use of him was straightforward, and his intentions were clear, so Song Zhigang felt it was a fair deal.

“However, Young Master Su, the Song family’s foundation is not weak. With my brother’s son dead along with two grandmasters, he will surely come back with full force next time.”

“I’ve noticed that using those domineering needle techniques weakens your energy significantly, indicating massive consumption. I’m worried you might be overpowered next time.”

Su Lin chuckled, “No worries, I’m not alone in this fight anymore, now that I have you.”

Song Zhigang forced a smile. As a grandmaster, he could only engage with two at most. What about the rest? Could Su Lin handle them alone? Yet, seeing Su Lin’s unconcerned demeanor, Song Zhigang felt he might have his own plans and decided not to pry further.

Glancing at the time, Su Lin sighed, “You should find a place to heal first. Come find me when you’re healed. I’ve got other things to handle and won’t waste more time today.”

Song Zhigang nodded. Having evaded the Song family for years, he surely had more than one hiding spot in Donghai.

Su Lin then took off into the sky towards the headquarters of the Su Corporation where Su Zhenguo was.

Watching Su Lin’s graceful departure, Song Zhigang was dumbfounded, murmuring, “Can a national martial arts grandmaster fly like that? Is this what a grandmaster is?”

His worldview crumbled, realizing Su Lin hadn’t leveraged any force to take off. It dawned on him, “This is ancient martial arts!”

A chill ran down his spine as he thought back to the day he saved Xiao Chen. If Su Lin had pursued him in that manner, could he have escaped? After some thought, he shook his head. If Su Lin had chased him like that, he definitely wouldn’t have escaped and would have risked his life.

Upon reaching the Su Corporation’s headquarters, Su Zhenguo personally came down to greet him and told the security to remember Su Lin’s face, as he was the young master of the Su family.

In the elevator, Su Lin joked, “Dad, you’re moving fast, transitioning from a real estate company to a diversified conglomerate.”

Su Zhenguo smiled, “It’s all thanks to the information you provided. It was so detailed that any PhD could turn it into a product based on your data. Son, where did you get this?”

Su Lin smiled mysteriously, “That’s a secret, but feel free to use it. With the higher-ups looking out for you and even Old Master Qin wanting to be related, you must be happy, right?”

Su Zhenguo nodded, “Indeed. You know too little. Now it’s not just the Qin family; I’ve had calls from at least two hundred families nationwide seeking cooperation, including top and second-tier families, even the Liu family from the capital.”

Su Lin gave a thumbs up, “Impressive, the Su family is on the rise.”

Su Zhenguo agreed, “With this development, the Su family will soon become a new powerhouse, if only we had more people.”

Su Lin confidently assured, “Don’t worry about that. I guarantee the Su family will flourish within twenty years.”

Hearing this, Su Zhenguo joked, “I’ve heard you have quite a few girlfriends. Son, I don’t mind you having more, but should you consider their status? The Lin and Qin daughters, and even that Zhao girl, what are you planning?”

Su Lin touched his nose, smiling, “Ordinary women don’t catch my eye.”

“You’re picky now? Let me tell you to take it easy. Old Master Qin even asked me what your intentions are towards his granddaughter.”

Su Lin felt overwhelmed, “Old Master Qin invited me to visit the Qin family today.”

“Hehe… now you see the trouble. I won’t get involved in your romantic debts; you’ll have to handle it yourself. As for your conflict with the miracle doctor’s heir, go all out. I’ve asked around, and the higher-ups said they won’t intervene in the young people’s fight.”

Su Lin was surprised, “You asked about that?”

“Of course. Otherwise, why do you think things have escalated in Donghai and no one from above has stepped in? If it weren’t for the technology you provided as a backup, they would have intervened by now.”

Su Lin nodded, “Alright, if technology talks, I’ll give you more.”

Handing over a prepared USB drive to Su Zhenguo, Su Lin said, “This contains new energy vehicle technology and 4G smart phone technology.”

Su Zhenguo was left speechless.
