Ahem, I want to speak with your father and discuss some techniques," Lin Xuan coughed, breaking the tension.
"Speak with my father?" Ziyue blinked. She had prepared to spar with Lin Xuan, but he suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn.
"My father is Forming Stage. You, at Early Yuan Dan, aren't you courting death?" Ziyue said, her tone returning to normal, a little cold.
"I've been stagnating in cultivation. I feel I'm ready to break through to Forming Stage, but I don't understand it yet. I want to ask City Lord for guidance," Lin Xuan said seriously.
"You want to break through to Forming Stage?"
Ziyue widened her eyes, staring at him like a monster. She had first met him as only an Early Yuan Dan, and now just months later, he aimed for Forming Stage. Combined with his Four-Seal Symbolist progress… he was terrifyingly gifted.
"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded firmly.
Ziyue could only lead Lin Xuan to her father.

Deep in the City Lord's mansion, Stone City Lord realized Lin Xuan's presence and said, "This kid… has grown so fast!"
"Hmph, time to teach him a lesson.
Wandering into my daughter's room—if you like her, propose properly. I won't say no, but such disrespect…!" He clenched his fist.
He had been observing Lin Xuan. Just now, Lin Xuan had nearly taken advantage of his daughter. As a father, his fists nearly shattered.
Soon, Ziyue and Lin Xuan arrived.
Upon entering, they saw Stone City Lord standing in the main hall, looking slightly surprised.
Ziyue spoke with authority, "Father, Lin Xuan has come to consult you."
Lin Xuan bowed, "Greetings, City Lord."
"Consult about what?" Stone City Lord asked, intrigued.
Lin Xuan explained his intentions.
"Haha, perfect timing! I've been itching to spar with you. After seeing you kill the three Yue Shan warriors, I've been eager. Let's start."
Stone City Lord laughed and moved toward the training ground.

"Father, be careful! Lin Xuan isn't your match yet. Don't hurt him!" Ziyue warned.
Stone City Lord felt protective, but his combat spirit surged even more. He needed to teach Lin Xuan a lesson.
Yet as the City Lord, he maintained dignity:
"Ziyue, step aside. Lin Xuan must feel real pressure in this spar. Only then can he gain true insight—maybe even break through during the fight. I'm doing this for his own good."
"I'm coming!"
With that, Stone City Lord eagerly stepped forward, ready to strike.
Seeing Stone City Lord charging over, Lin Xuan quickly activated a task.
Besides seeking guidance, he also wanted to farm some rewards. A Forming Stage master like Stone City Lord should generate a very valuable task.
[Task: Spar with Stone City Lord. Reward: One bottle of Eighth-Grade Ju Yuan Pill.]
"A bottle of Eighth-Grade Pill for sparring my first Forming Stage opponent… not bad!" Lin Xuan's eyes glinted.
With this pill, his chances of breaking into the Forming Stage would improve even more.
At that moment, Stone City Lord's fist slammed forward, Yuan energy surging like a storm, cutting through the wind.
"Boom!"
Lin Xuan swung his Blood Soul Spear, golden Yuan energy gathering around its tip, colliding with the fist. Waves of force rippled outward.
"So powerful… no wonder he suppressed Yue Shan."
Stone City Lord's eyes widened in admiration.
Though Lin Xuan was still Early Yuan Dan, his Yuan energy strength was no weaker than the City Lord's.
He couldn't underestimate him....losing in front of his daughter would be humiliating.
"I remember you have a spiritual treasure. Bring it out. Show me your full power."
Stone City Lord's eyes gleamed with battle intent.
With a gesture, a nearly ten-foot-long jade-colored longsword appeared in his hand.
The sword was elegant and long, almost like a short spear.
Jade light flowed along the blade, radiating sharp energy....clearly a spiritual treasure.
He was ready for a serious fight. For a long time, no one in Yan City had made him this attentive.
Bring out the Broken Jade Sword; I'm going all out now."
Ziyue looked worriedly at Lin Xuan.
"Got it!" Lin Xuan replied without hesitation. The Blood Soul Spear appeared in his hand.
"Buzz!"
The sword hummed as Stone City Lord gripped it, emanating extraordinary energy.....far surpassing Yue Shan's level.
Stone City Lord's gaze sharpened. Yuan energy swirled like sudden storm clouds.
Lin Xuan felt the force ripple through the sky, and a terrifying sword light streaked toward him, slicing the air.
