No, I think they would chase me to chop me dead. Su Lin thought to himself.

A man knows his own affairs; after all, he’s a soul-transferring traveler, and he doesn’t even know if the previous soul was swallowed by him.

Su Can just snapped out of Su Qi’s words, his eyes showing shock, and a surge of determination arose in his heart.

His grandson had already surpassed him; he couldn’t afford to fall too far behind.

After everyone took their seats, Su Can spoke:

"Since Linzi has already emerged, it’s time for us to ascend as well."

Su Qi looked slightly surprised at the old man.

But he soon guessed the old man’s thoughts, surely stimulated by Linzi, eager to go to Zhoushan Town early and seek opportunities for enhancement.

Yet, wasn’t he the same?

The sooner he went to Zhoushan Town, the sooner he could find a way to heal his injuries.

Su Qi said solemnly:

"Places where the Martial Seal can be enhanced are already few, indeed we should head to Zhoushan Town earlier. Daoist Mengyi and Dao Guan, what do you two think?"

"Alright."

Mengyi stretched out a thick hairy leg from under his Daoist robe, pressing the robe, boldly placing it over the other leg:

"But think it through. After you go, it won’t be easy to come back in the short term."

Su Can and Su Qi exchanged a determined nod.

Mengyi nodded and said:

"If so, I’ll contact the leader tonight and send you off early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yaxin poured hot tea for the two, and Dao Guan lightly tapped the table with two fingers three times, then turned to glance at Su Lin, speaking softly:

"Donor Su defeated Lu Zhanpeng with one-tenth qi and blood of the Bone Lock. I believe this news will soon spread to Zhoushan Town, and Wuyin Village will face much less trouble.

"Lu Zhanpeng has been famous for a long time. Although he’s deeply fallen now, the name and shadow still counts, and Donor Su can defeat him; this at least proves he’s not weaker than a Kidney Lock Martial Artist.

"Although the Kidney Lock is the earliest genetic lock among the Five Organ Locks, it still means breaking away from the ’bully-able’ class."

Upon hearing this, the long-silent Su Lin had a slight smile on his face.

Su Qi frowned slightly and asked:

"We are recommended to enter the Inner City, could it be that we’ll face oppression as well?"

"Uncle, the Town-level Camp isn’t that simple." Mengyi chuckled, "Anyone who stays long in the Town is either cunning or crazy. They know as long as they don’t kill your key figures, slight matters won’t prompt anyone to come forward for you. Not even us."

He paused and said:

"Some of your ideas might need changing, the Town-level Camp is far more complex than you imagine.

"It’s not the trivialities of a village of a hundred or two hundred people.

"A Town-level Camp, tens of thousands, even up to ten thousand people’s population.

"So many people with very complex backgrounds, the various forces originally escalated from village-level camps, cannot bind together like a rope as in a village.

"Nor does it need to.

"Survival of the fittest, winner takes all, you must fight to live better.

"And not be a parasite, merely relying on the Town’s Hunting Group.

"If tens of thousands develop a habit of relying on the leader, no matter how strong the leader is, they’d be dragged down.

"Competition is the best mode of survival."

The Su Family listened carefully to his entire speech, silent for a long time.

As the leader of Wuyin Village, Su Can felt deeply about this.

Mengyi glanced at them, smiled, and said:

"How about it? Want to stay a while longer and enjoy a moment of leisure? Once you go up, what you need to do, the pressure you’ll face, will be much greater."

Su Can shook his head, eyes burning with determination, and said:

"No, the more the Daoist says so, the more it indicates we should set off early and gain strength early, right?"

"Alright, then I’ll contact the leader tonight."

Mengyi and Dao Guan knew Su Lin was preparing to say farewell to his family, so after concluding business, they took their leave.

After Su Lin had just been quite intimidating, combined with the personal involvement of the two Daoists, it seems an unscrupulous troublemaker won’t appear again soon.

As the two left, the atmosphere at the old mansion relaxed.

Su Can and Su Qi both turned their gaze to Su Lin.

The old man observed his grandson, who now exuded an aura of power, and couldn’t suppress the curve of his mouth as he turned to Zhao Yaxin:

"Yaxin, have Xiao Zhang prepare meals for three more people tonight. Linzi, bring Tongxi and Yiyi to have dinner at the old mansion tonight."

Zhao Yaxin paused while clearing the tea set and quickly glanced at Su Lin with her phoenix eyes, nodding:

"Got it."

Xiao Zhang is a family member of a Martial Artist tenant at the mansion, chosen for the kitchen due to excellent culinary skills.

The Su Family’s old mansion isn’t as desolate as it once was.

Not counting the yard, the two hundred and thirty square meters of the five-level security house, five floors are fully occupied.

Twenty-one Flesh Lock Martial Artists, one Tendon Lock Martial Artist, and seven weaker Martial Artist family members.

Nearly thirty people.

Just as Zhao Yaxin was about to instruct the guests downstairs, Su Qi stopped her, paused, and looked at Su Lin:

"You’ve reached the First Transformation now, and even defeated a Town-level Martial Artist; it’s a time of excitement. Tonight let’s gather the whole village for a celebration in your honor, and announce the ascension while we’re at it."

Su Lin considered it, found no harm, and agreed with a nod:

"Alright."

This matter wasn’t just for him to show off but also to strengthen a sense of belonging and cohesion among villagers before they faced challenges in Zhoushan Town.

And let them know that moving into the Inner City of Zhoushan Town with relatively good circumstances is thanks to the Su Family.

Prevent them from being easily provoked to leave when someone throws a few words.

Su Qi nodded, his expression gentle, and said softly:

"I heard you defeated Lu Zhanpeng this time using that ’kill’ move I taught you?"

"Yes." Su Lin nodded with a smile, "After practicing for so long, I finally managed to use it."

"It’s not just ’use.’ Su Qi spoke with a hint of awe, "Right after breaking through, you used Stunning Flash to defeat a Five Organ Lock master; I see you’ve just learned it but already done better than me."

Su Lin shook his head.

In fact, his ability to defeat Lu Zhanpeng in a cross-level battle was only partially due to the Stunning Flash, a Thunder Nature killing move.

Another large reason was his two golden attributes, Tap Dance and Solo Level-Up.

He still underestimated what "Solo Level-Up" brought him.

Though he hadn’t had a chance to try the increased cultivation speed, the "50% increase in strength" brought far more than the literal simple half stronger.

Physical strength, total qi and blood, qi and blood application, agile speed, even reaction, dynamic vision...it was a comprehensive 50% enhancement!

Even his forte in speed increased terrifyingly by half!

When Su Lin entered the battle state, he even thought he’d triggered Divine Speed.

Just because this attribute bonus was calculated after the Tap Dance enhancement!

Physical power enhancement, combined with qi and blood enhancement, combined with Tap Dance speed enhancement, allowed Su Lin’s ’kill’ move Stunning Flash to directly defeat Lu Zhanpeng.

Yet Su Qi didn’t know this and thought he was just saving face; after a chuckle, he moved on from the topic.

Su Can and Su Qi asked Su Lin about the breakthrough process and shared recent events with him, before chatting about some light-hearted topics.

After today, tomorrow will bring a separation in the apocalypse.

Even though the separation may not last long.

But in these times, even a short few days could be fraught with unforeseen events.

Moreover, the matters Su Lin was set to participate in weren’t safe.

So after briefly discussing serious matters, the three generations of grandfather and grandson had a rare chat about stories and fun from the pre-apocalyptic days.

Seeing the increasingly warm atmosphere in the hall, Zhao Yaxin quietly intercepted guests to keep them from disturbing the Su family’s three-generation conversation.

Then instructed people to jump over the high wall from the backyard to prepare for the evening celebration.

After a bout of busy arrangements, Zhao Yaxin suddenly heard her daughter’s cheerful laughter and her brother-in-law’s voice.
