Chapter 1746 - 1743: This Guy Fears Neither Heaven nor Earth

"A single hammer can break through the city gate?" Lin Tian pondered for a moment, estimating in his heart, and only after a while did he say, "So, the power of this hammer has reached the Mid Innate level, capable of withstanding power above the Mid Innate level. It seems the Holy Knight’s Hammer has also reached the level of the Purple Lightning and Azure Frost."

This conclusion was drawn by Lin Tian estimating Tang Xuan Su’s strength. Thus, the Holy Knight’s Hammer has reached the grade of a treasure that can be the cornerstone of a sect, a true treasure.

Moreover, according to the Sword Spirit, the Holy Knight’s Hammer is specifically designed to complement King Arthur’s cultivation technique, making it even more powerful, thus in King Arthur’s hands, it becomes a national artifact.

"Where is the Holy Hammer?" Lin Tian asked eagerly.

"I don’t know. When I was initially sealed, I lost consciousness for a long time. When I slowly came to, I found myself in that sunless place. I reckon the Holy Knight’s Hammer is sealed like the Sword of the King, in some corner. You should have looked for it when you visited the Underground Temple; perhaps the Holy Hammer is there too?"

The Sword Spirit answered very straightforwardly, without hesitation or signs of lying, but mentioning the Underground Temple, it seems possible.

"At the time, you didn’t say anything. That temple was probably discovered by the teachers at the academy. Even if we go now, there’s nothing left for us." Lin Tian shook his head and said.

"Don’t be disheartened, Master. If fate allows, you may encounter it again. Since you obtained the Sword of the King, just like Li Wenfeng, you have a fate with King Arthur, both of you are likely to obtain the Holy Hammer. It just depends on who gets it first. If the Holy Knight’s Hammer falls into Li Wenfeng’s hands, combined with King Arthur’s cultivation technique, he could battle an Innate Early Stage master."

The Sword Spirit suggested possible outcomes; if it weren’t for Lin Tian’s sudden appearance, the Sword of the King would have belonged to Li Wenfeng back then.

Lin Tian chuckled and said casually, "Since he received King Arthur’s legacy, he must have some clues, at least he knows more than I do. But that’s okay, let him find it first. Once the time comes, the Holy Knight’s Hammer will surely emerge, and then who it belongs to is uncertain."

"This king still hopes you, Master, obtain the Holy Knight’s Hammer and then integrate it into the Heavenly Tribulation Sword as well." The Sword Spirit said unexpectedly.

That last remark surprised Lin Tian; he asked oddly, "If I melt the Holy Hammer, wouldn’t you think I’m desecrating King Arthur? The Holy Hammer, like the Sword of the King, is considered a national Holy Artifact, right?"

"I’ve already melted, so why keep it around?" The Sword Spirit muttered under its breath, its little jealous thoughts amused Lin Tian.

"Alright, if I find it, I’ll melt it into the Heavenly Tribulation Sword so you can reunite with the Holy Hammer." Lin Tian confidently promised, such a beneficial thing, of course, he wouldn’t refuse; integrating the Holy Hammer into the Heavenly Tribulation Sword would definitely elevate its power.

The Sword Spirit said no more, and Lin Tian continued to cultivate. When the moon in the sky shifted, and moonlight no longer came through, he finished his cultivation and went to bed.

Upon concluding his cultivation, Lin Tian noted that the Moonlight Energy absorbed tonight was much purer and the total amount was several times more than usual. He looked up at the moon outside and found it big and full, just a bit shy of Great Perfection.

"Oh right, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the time of year when the moon is most full, it seems this period has the most abundant Moonlight Energy, making it an ideal time for cultivation." Lin Tian whispered to himself.

Sages have no dreams, but Lin Tian, a common man, entered a dreamland. In his dreams, beauties appeared, one moment it’s Xiao Manxuan, another it’s Miss, and then other beauties he knows, but such dreams usually end abruptly at crucial moments.

Lin Tian was no exception; he woke up suddenly to see the sun rising outside, golden rays everywhere, full of vigor. Lin Tian felt as if a part of him was like the rising sun, bursting with energy.

"Being young is great," Lin Tian thought happily to himself.

"You are quite gifted," the Sword Spirit suddenly remarked.

The comment startled Lin Tian momentarily, and when he realized, he couldn’t help but roar, "Damn you, how dare you spy on me!"

"Pff, so what..." the Sword Spirit was very nonchalant about it.

"I’m not arguing with you, just take it as you being jealous of me." Lin Tian said straightforwardly, then jumped out of bed, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and let the warm sunlight shine in.

Facing the sunlight, Lin Tian began to cultivate again, absorbing the sun’s essence. He was halfway through when a knock on the door brought him back to reality.

"Lin Tian, Xiao Tian is awake, she wants to see you." Xiao Manxuan’s voice came in.

Lin Tian scratched his forehead in distress, thinking this little girl won’t cling to him, will she? Although Tian Xiaotian is sweet-looking and pure, Lin Tian has no romantic interest in her. The main issue is, he’s still in school and can’t take care of her.

After getting dressed, Lin Tian opened the door. Xiao Manxuan’s face also showed a helpless expression. She pointed downstairs and said, "Xiao Tian is already up and in the living room. If Ou Mengmeng hadn’t stopped her, she might have barged into your room."

"Don’t look at me like that; I didn’t do anything to her. The little girl is just clinging to me out of necessity right now. Once she becomes a big celebrity in the future, she won’t be like this." Seeing Xiao Manxuan’s odd gaze, Lin Tian quickly explained.

"Raising a female celebrity, it seems you have this hobby too, haha." Xiao Manxuan laughed playfully, teasing him.

Feigning "anger," Lin Tian pinched her delicate nose, then quickly slipped downstairs, leaving Xiao Manxuan stamping her foot in pretended annoyance.

The living room on the first floor was bustling with people; everyone had woken up, including the five company executives Mr. Qi brought along. Yun Xiaotian, Zhou Botong, Ou Mengmeng, and Mr. Qi sat together, while Tian Xiaotian sat separately on the other side, looking a little restrained.

As soon as the young girl saw Lin Tian appear, she immediately stood up and walked over to his side, softly saying, "Good morning, Mr. Lin."

This situation made Zhou Botong and the others exchange bewildered glances, looking at Lin Tian with the same strange expression that Xiao Manxuan had earlier, as if Lin Tian had done something to the little girl.

"Ahem, ahem, sit down, have some breakfast first." Lin Tian, having seen all sorts of situations, coughed a couple of times to divert everyone’s attention, maintaining a calm demeanor.

With Ou Mengmeng around, there was no need for Xiao Manxuan to cook personally. A call from Ou Mengmeng and a sumptuous breakfast was delivered, although Tian Xiaotian still seemed a bit uneasy.

After breakfast, Lin Tian put down his cup and looked at Tian Xiaotian, "You don’t have to be nervous. There’s something I don’t quite understand. Last night Bitong told us it was voluntary for you to go to Li Wenrong’s room?"

Tian Xiaotian didn’t say anything, but she nodded gently, which was a tacit acknowledgment, causing Zhou Botong and the others to frown.

Lin Tian waved his hand for them not to speak: "Why?"

"I... I can’t lose this job, and I don’t want to drag you down either..." Tian Xiaotian said, her eyes showing a bit of innocence.

Hearing this reason, Zhou Botong laughed, "Xiao Tian, go ahead and drag Lin Tian down. This guy isn’t afraid of anything! What’s a Li family member? If the Heavenly King himself came down, my brother here would still dare to defy him!"
