Chapter 91: The Unconventional New Ghost Battle Body
Because both Grandma and Lin Jin came from orphan backgrounds, the Lin Family did not have any branches or side families. Thus, the maternal relatives of Lin's Three Uncles naturally received care from the Lin Family.
After all, for a family to grow stronger, having manpower is essential.
The relationship between Huang Wenjie and Lian Yun was not particularly close, but they had trained together under the Lin Clan, making them quite familiar with each other.
Moreover, although Lian Yun was considered an outsider, there was still a difference since he was the grandson of Grandma. His past achievements and perseverance had earned him the affection of everyone in the Lin Clan, which is why Huang Wenjie referred to him as Young Master Yun, rather than using terms typical among peers.
Lian Yun smiled slightly and said, “Is there a large number of Spirits ahead of the Evil Spirit Tide?”
“Yes! There are many. It seems that the Evil Tide is behind them, followed by the Evil Spirit Tide. What are you planning to do, Young Master Yun?”
“You all retreat to the outskirts of Fengdu. We’ll see if there’s an opportunity later!”
As Lian Yun spoke urgently, he passed through Huang Wenjie’s team. By the time he finished his sentence, his voice had become faint because he had already distanced himself from Huang Wenjie.
“Uh~~~ No way, could it be that Young Master Yun is attracting the Evil Spirit Tide with his King's Realm?”
“Nonsense! If Young Master Yun had a King's Realm, how could he come here?”
“So~~~ are we not going to help?”
“If you can catch up, then go! Since Young Master Yun hasn’t asked us for help, he must have his own plans. Let’s go! We’ll wait at the edge and see what instructions he has later.”
“Uh~~ I’m Wen Jie. You and even Young Master Yun are both outsiders to the Lin Clan, and we all know your strength. The only reason you haven’t broken through to become a king yet is that you want to build up your strength quietly and then surprise everyone when you finally reveal it. However, even if you’re being patient, you don’t need to consider yourself subordinate to Young Master Yun!”
The speaker did not mean to belittle or disrespect Lian Yun, but was simply expressing concern for Huang Wenjie, feeling it was unfair for him.
However, Huang Wenjie maintained a positive attitude. With resolute eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, “It’s not that I consider myself subordinate to Young Master Yun. It’s just that he is different. You must understand that several direct disciples in our family, including Brother Feather, are willing to work for Young Master Yun. How much more so for us?”
"Uh~~ Although I don't know the exact reason, I think anyone who has trained with Young Master Yun during their youth would willingly help him for life after witnessing his diligence and hard work!"
"Uh uh uh~~"
Many people felt speechless, yet not a single one showed any signs of disdain or looked down on Huang Wenjie.
This was solely because Young Master Yun was truly special within the Lin Clan.
Though they had not witnessed it themselves, they had heard plenty of stories. For instance, when Young Master Yun was training in the Lin Clan, he was almost always the hardest worker. Moreover, many times, he would voluntarily accept punishment for some young masters and mistresses who had made mistakes.
Their personal experiences also confirmed this: Young Master Yun never used his status to oppress others; he treated everyone kindly and amicably, from the main members of the Lin Clan to the workers, servants, and even Ghost Slaves.
Thus, Young Master Yun not only had a good reputation in the Lin Clan but also had genuinely never done anything wrong.
As a result, he was cherished by the entire Lin Family.
After Lian Yun left Huang Wenjie and the others, he put on his Mask, and shortly thereafter, he heard a thunderous roar.
The sound echoed like thunder from afar, indicating that the so-called Evil Spirit Tide was still some distance away from Lian Yun.
However, in front of him appeared several fleeing Spirits.
"Evil Tide?" Lian Yun grinned as seven Ghost Slaves appeared beside him.
Big Head, Sword Mountain, Three Spirits, Chen Er Gou, and Six Ghosts stood quietly, waiting for Lian Yun's command. Only Hei lay on Lian Yun's shoulder, angrily scratching at his head.
"Hehe! Hei, don't be angry. It's only because of special circumstances that I didn't let you out. I promise that once we leave Fengdu, unless there's an extraordinary situation, you'll be free to come and go as you please."
Hei growled in dissatisfaction but seemed to understand and refrained from venting his emotions.
"Big Head, let's try to form the Ghost Battle Body."
"Alright! Head, Ding Tie, Ding Gang, Ding Lan, Ding Gang, Ding Lan, Ergou!"
"Yes, big brother!" The five ghosts responded in unison, transforming into black mist and gathering around Lian Yun.
Sword Mountain, massive in size, directly replaced Lian Yun's waist down to his feet. Ding Tie, Ding Gang, and Ding Lan merged to form 'armor,' while Ding Lan and Ergou became the sleeves. Finally, Big Head transformed into a helmet.
Thus, Lian Yun's brand new Ghost Battle Body was formed, standing eight meters tall. Its shape was identical to Lian Yun's body, and its appearance resembled Lian Yun's thirty-something visage wearing a mask.
However, as soon as the Ghost Battle Body was formed, it began to wobble, and then Lian Yun's 'pants' fell down first.
"Boss, he’s still not quite used to cooperating with others. Can we try a few more times?"
Clearly, Big Head was indulging Sword Mountain.
Lian Yun smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it true that others can't form the Ghost Battle Body with Sword Mountain? Now that it can be formed, that's already a significant improvement. I'm not in a hurry, so you shouldn't be either."
As he spoke, Lian Yun suddenly charged forward, injuring several Spirits that had come close. Without hesitation, the Three Spirits grabbed a few Spirits and entered Lian Yun's body before coming back out.
To be honest, Sword Mountain being able to merge with other Ghost Slaves to form the Ghost Battle Body was an unexpected surprise for Lian Yun. This might be related to Big Head's improved coordination abilities.
But Lian Yun really wasn't anxious because even without Sword Mountain, the other Spirits could still form the Ghost Battle Body; they would just be shorter!
However, since it was Big Head's request, Lian Yun naturally wouldn't refuse and then attempted three more times. Yet it became evident that Sword Mountain could not maintain the stability of the Ghost Battle Body.
On the fifth attempt to condense the Ghost Battle Body, Hei suddenly roared and expanded his body. As Big Head and the five ghosts formed the Ghost Battle Body, Hei transformed into black mist and enveloped the entire Ghost Battle Body.
Then Lian Yun's Ghost Battle Body took on a somewhat unconventional appearance.
It was a nearly nine-meter tall figure, clad in a "tight suit," known as the Ghost Battle Body.
Lian Yun found this quite unexpected.
He tried to take a couple of steps back and soon realized that, perhaps due to Sword Mountain, the operation of the Ghost Battle Body was not as smooth as he had hoped. However, because of the darkness, the Ghost Battle Body did not collapse.
This was likely why Grandma had specifically reminded Lian Yun to treat the darkness with care.
One must understand that this kind of forced cohesion of the Ghost Battle Body was almost akin to a coordination ability that rivaled, if not surpassed, Big Head's capabilities.
Although the Ghost Battle Body was not fluid in its movements and had many inconveniences, Lian Yun had no intention of dissolving it.
The longer the Ghost Battle Body remained intact, the better Big Head would adapt to it, making the Ghost Battle Body increasingly fluid.
This was a process of adjustment.
Thus, hovering three or four meters above the ground, Lian Yun controlled the Ghost Battle Body and began to run toward the edge of Fengdu.
