BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

Qinglin did not continue with unnecessary words. With a wave of her hand, numerous snake-shaped magical beasts suddenly appeared on the scene.

Then, under Qinglin's command, a fourth-tier magical beast led dozens of lower-tier magical beasts towards the Mo family's forces, as Qinglin eagerly put into practice Lin Yuan's teachings and the words from the texts, attempting to simultaneously command multiple magical beasts to fight and eliminate the Mo family members.

"Little girl, we have a misunderstanding," shouted a middle-aged man from the Mo family's team.

However, Qinglin ignored him, controlling the magical beasts to continue their assault. She had firmly remembered Lin Yuan's words: once she determined the other party was an enemy, there was no need to pay attention to their words or engage in conversation; the only goal was to completely annihilate them.

Under the siege of the numerous magical beasts controlled by Qinglin, the Mo family members quickly suffered heavy casualties.

Suddenly, Mo Cheng, who was struggling against a fourth-tier magical beast, felt a chill in his eyes. His left arm shook violently, and a fierce dark energy shattered his sleeve, revealing a crimson arm that looked like a flaming limb. It was the forelimb of the fifth-tier magical beast, the Blazing Mountain Rhinoceros, which Mo Cheng had implanted.

"Mountain Breaker Arm!"

Finding an opening, Mo Cheng skillfully bypassed the magical beast he was fighting and charged towards Qinglin with his left arm raised. His earlier feigned weakness was merely a ruse to wait for such a surprise attack. As long as he could control the host of the Green Snake's Three Flower Eyes, this battle would be easily concluded.

Mo Cheng was filled with excitement, his eyes fixated on Qinglin's enchanting green pupils, which were almost within his grasp. Once he had those eyes, all the magical beasts on the field would fall under his control. With those eyes, he might even establish a foundation that surpassed the Yunlan Sect.

However, just as Mo Cheng was about to pass the two fourth-tier magical beasts guarding the way, he suddenly saw the girl he had been staring at smile slightly, a glimmer of green light flashing in her eyes. Mo Cheng's mind was drawn in, and then he felt a moment of daze, his gaze becoming hazy as if he had fallen into an illusion.

Due to the difference in cultivation levels, Qinglin's illusion did not last long; about two seconds later, Mo Cheng woke from his stupor.

However, in a life-and-death battle, even a second of hesitation could mean the difference between life and death, let alone two seconds. During those two seconds of Mo Cheng's daze, before he could even swing his Mountain Breaker Arm, one of the two fourth-tier snake-shaped magical beasts bit it off, while the other completely wrapped around him, binding him. By the time he regained his senses, he was already in a countdown to death.

"Damn it! Ah!!!"

With a "crack," his neck was twisted, and the infamous executioner of the Eastern Empire, Mo Cheng, met his end without a ripple. The magical beast that had ensnared him exerted its strength, crushing all the bones in his body.

"Great! It worked." Seeing the magical beast fall, Qinglin felt a surge of joy. This was her first successful use of the bait tactic that the young master had taught her.

"Please spare us, miss! It was the Great Elder who ordered us to find you; we were forced!" Seeing Mo Cheng dead, the remaining Mo family members hurriedly cried out, dodging attacks while pleading for mercy from Qinglin.

Upon hearing this, Qinglin's expression did not change; she continued to command the magical beasts to eliminate the Mo family members without any emotion. The young master had said to leave no survivors when facing enemies.

Soon, everything came to an end. Qinglin recalled most of the magical beasts, and the scene was left in ruins. She frowned slightly, realizing that she still had some unskilled and uncoordinated aspects when commanding the battle directly.

"There are still many areas to improve," Qinglin said, feeling a bit distressed as she touched her small head. "Forget it, I should report back to the young master first!"

"Xiao Hei, clean this up!" After leaving this sentence, Qinglin began to think as she set off on her way back.

As soon as Qinglin's voice fell, a fifth-tier magical beast, the Black Rock Serpent, with three flowers on its head, emerged from the ground, its eyes flashing with fierce light. As it moved, the ground sank like quicksand, swallowing everything at the scene and burying it deep underground.

After the scene returned to calm, Lin Yuan, leaning against a nearby tree with his arms crossed, revealed a look of satisfaction. This was Qinglin's first direct confrontation with an enemy, and he had quietly followed her the whole time to ensure her safety. Reflecting on the decisive and resolute girl from just now, Lin Yuan felt a bit emotional. The Qinglin who had once been delicate and shy in front of him had unknowingly begun to grow, showing the early signs of a strong individual.

"It's time to let her travel with me and gain some experience."

With a step, he vanished from the spot.

When Qinglin returned to the courtyard, under the moonlight, Lin Yuan was already sitting at the table waiting for her, with several of her favorite snacks laid out. Lin Yuan waved to her, "Come here, Qing'er. Tell me about your experiences this time, your insights, and your thoughts."

"Yes, young master!"

Under the moonlight, a unique teaching session began.

The Serpent Man Holy City, known as the capital of the Serpent Man Empire, is the temple city where Queen Medusa resides, a massive stone city built in the desert.

Today, two figures arrived at this city.

After landing outside the stone city on a massive stone pillar, Qinglin gazed at the entire city, her eyes reflecting a hint of wonder, and her voice carried a touch of excitement.

"Young master, young master, this city is so big and beautiful! It's much more impressive than Stone Desert City." Having only seen Stone Desert City since birth, Qinglin couldn't help but exclaim at the sight of the towering buildings in front of her.

Hearing Qinglin's words, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, this city is indeed unique. In the future, I will take you to see many interesting places in this world. Now, Qing'er, control your emotions; we are about to enter."

"Young master, are you really going to take me in?" Thinking about the possibility of meeting Queen Medusa soon, Qinglin's voice trembled slightly.

As someone who grew up in a desert city near the Serpent Man's territory, Qinglin had always heard of Queen Medusa's beauty and ferocity, and she held a significant awe for her deep down.

Lin Yuan noticed Qinglin's expression and teased, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of Queen Medusa? Where did that decisive girl who faced the Mo family go?"

"Young master~ don't joke with me." Hearing Lin Yuan's teasing, Qinglin's face immediately flushed like a peach blossom. She later realized that her young master had been following her all along that day.

Seeing Qinglin's rosy cheeks, Lin Yuan playfully reached out and gently pinched her, laughing, "Alright, don't worry. Queen Medusa is just a defeated opponent of your young master, who was defeated by me despite being a whole tier higher. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Just keep this to yourself; don't mention it to outsiders. After all, I am now considered an elder of the Serpent Man tribe, and it wouldn't sound dignified for our queen to be defeated by me, a mere alchemist."

"Understood. I will try my best not to embarrass you, young master." Qinglin took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions and said firmly.

Seeing Qinglin stabilize her mindset, Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. The reason he brought Qinglin along was to train her temperament and composure. Extraordinary power requires extraordinary character; to master the extraordinary power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Eyes, mere cultivation was far from enough.

"Very well, let's go in."

Lin Yuan summoned his fighting spirit, releasing his aura, a powerful presence that filled the temple within the Holy City.
