Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 90: Great Opportunity!

The closer he got, the more Lin Fan realized the stench of blood up ahead was turning denser.

After what seemed an eternity of walking, there was no longer a path, only a door.

Lin Fan stood there silently, gazing at the door.

Lin Fan was clear that once he pushed the door open, there could be a completely different sight to behold.

However, Lin Fan lacked the courage to push it open.

Because Lin Fan did not know what lay beyond the door.

Perhaps, endless danger awaited!

Lin Fan hesitated!

After a long while, Lin Fan made up his mind— to push open the door and take the risk for potentially great rewards!

Lin Fan readied himself to be on guard.

Whoosh...

Without further hesitation, Lin Fan struck the door with his palm.

The door was blown open by Lin Fan in an instant.

"Ah!"

However, the moment Lin Fan broke through the door, he couldn’t help but cry out in shock; immediately, his body tensed up, ready for battle.

It turned out that behind the door was a vast room with a massive blood pond inside. The pond was filled with fresh blood, constantly roiling as if it were boiling.

At the same time, an endless surge of foul, bloody energy rolled towards Lin Fan, morphing into a blood dragon that seemed intent on devouring Lin Fan whole.

But as the blood dragon sensed Lin Fan’s Ancient Soul Power, it dispersed unwillingly back into the vigor of bloody energy and returned to the blood pond.

Beyond that, in the very center of the blood pond, a platform had been erected. At this moment, a man in white stood there silently, his back to Lin Fan, holding a longsword in his hand, the tip touching the ground.

With the man’s back turned to Lin Fan, it was impossible for Lin Fan to see his face.

Besides the blood pond and the man, there was nothing else in the room.

Such a scene was truly chilling.

Even Lin Fan, with his high Heart Realm and strong willpower, couldn’t help but feel a wave of terror deep inside when facing this scene.

Nevertheless, Lin Fan soon regained his composure.

"Junior Lin Fan pays respects to the elder. If I have offended in any way, I beg your forgiveness!" Lin Fan called out with respect while facing the person in the middle of the blood pond.

The whole blood pond room echoed Lin Fan’s words.

Apart from that, there was no other sound. As for the white-clothed man standing in the blood pond, he did not respond to Lin Fan’s words at all, standing there quietly, without even a twitch of his body, as if he had not heard Lin Fan at all.

"Elder!"

Lin Fan called out again.

Yet, the man remained silent, still without movement.

"What’s going on?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but wonder.

Then, Lin Fan cautiously examined the man’s condition.

Upon this examination, Lin Fan realized that the man showed no signs of life, and it turned out to be merely a statue.

Lin Fan entered the room and observed the statue up close. He couldn’t help but lament, "This statue is incredibly lifelike! No wonder I mistook it for a living person just now!"

"Hm?"

But the very next moment, as Lin Fan took a closer look, his expression suddenly changed.

Because Lin Fan felt an aura of somber killing intent emanating from the statue, as vast and formidable as the Yangtze River.

"How impressive!" Lin Fan couldn’t help but exclaim. "This person left behind only a statue, yet the aura it emits is already so remarkable. It’s hard to imagine just how powerful he was back in the day?"

Lin Fan could hardly imagine!

"Young man, welcome!"

At this moment, a voice rang out.

The voice was so abrupt that Lin Fan, caught off guard, was actually startled.

Lin Fan quickly entered a defensive stance and shouted loudly, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

The voice spoke again: "Young man, no need to be tense. Now, I have no fighting strength at all, posing no threat to you."

Lin Fan did not let his guard down and asked again, "Who exactly are you? Where are you, show yourself!"

The voice responded: "I’m not far from you!"

"Not far from me?"

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Then, upon closer inspection, Lin Fan indeed spotted a spirit shade not far from himself.

This was a soul’s spirit shade.

However, the shade was so faint that Lin Fan had seen it when he first entered, thinking it was merely a gust of wind.

"Who are you?"

Lin Fan asked again.

At the same time, looking at the spirit shade, Lin Fan’s heart slightly eased.

Normally, a spirit shade so tenuous had no combat strength.

Still, Lin Fan did not take the situation lightly and remained fully vigilant.

The spirit shade spoke with a hint of despondence, "I have forgotten who I am, but... I am the master of this cave mansion."

Lin Fan looked at the spirit shade without speaking.

However, a sense of shock stirred within him—could it be that once upon a time, this spirit shade was the master of this cave mansion?

The spirit shade continued, "I have been waiting here for countless years, only to await a fated one to arrive and inherit my legacy. I thought I would never see the day, fortunately, heaven has sent you at last. It seems destiny has chosen to aid me, to ensure my legacy continues!"

At this point, the spirit shade paused briefly, then glanced at Lin Fan and asked, "Young man, are you willing to accept my legacy?"

Lin Fan shook his head.

It wasn’t that Lin Fan didn’t want to inherit the spirit shade’s legacy; it was that everything happened so suddenly.

To be honest, Lin Fan dared not accept it rashly.

"Why?"

The spirit shade asked again, "Could it be that you are not interested in my legacy?"

Lin Fan spoke, "It’s not that, it’s just..."

He didn’t continue, as even Lin Fan wasn’t sure how to articulate his hesitations.

The spirit shade laughed heartily and said, "Ah, very guarded, I see, which is good. Your sense of caution suits the cultivation of the Ancient Dominating Soul Technique very well."

"Ancient Dominating Soul Technique?"

Lin Fan was startled, unable to help asking.

The spirit shade nodded and confirmed, "Yes, the Ancient Dominating Soul Technique!"

After a brief pause, the spirit shade did not linger on this topic and instead asked Lin Fan, "Tell me, hasn’t your cultivation hit a bottleneck?"

Lin Fan nodded subconsciously.

The spirit shade said, "Right, hitting a bottleneck makes sense. I’ll tell you, the reason you have encountered a bottleneck is that you have not yet found the right Cultivation Technique for yourself. With an improper technique, bottlenecks naturally occur during cultivation."

"This Ancient Dominating Soul Technique is specifically designed for those with the Ancient Soul Body."

"Once you start cultivating this technique, you will no longer face any bottlenecks in your future cultivation."

After saying this, the spirit shade did not continue.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Fan.

At this time, Lin Fan, despite appearing calm on the surface, was inwardly shaken.

The Ancient Dominating Soul Technique!

It was a technique specifically for the Ancient Soul Body?

Lin Fan was absolutely certain that once he obtained this technique, his future cultivation would progress smoothly, advancing by leaps and bounds.
