Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

However, Lin Ze could no longer care about so many things at this moment.

He only wanted to find more clues about the mysterious man and solve the mystery that had been bothering him for a long time.

So he plucked up his courage and continued to grope deeper into the ruins.

Finally, after some arduous searching, Lin Ze found a tattered book in a corner.

The cover of this book has long turned yellow, and there are obvious cracks on the spine, as if it will fall apart at any time.

But when Lin Ze gently turned the pages of the book, he was surprised to find that it was filled with legends about the mysterious man and an extremely powerful martial arts secret book!

Lin Ze's eyes, which were not small to begin with, were now wide open, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, and his face was filled with disbelief. He stared closely at the seemingly ordinary book in his hand, and his eyes were as if attracted by a magnet and could not move away at all.

At this moment, it was as if a fire was ignited in his heart, and a faint but hopeful spark instantly ignited. Although the spark was small, it had tenacious vitality and burned fiercely in the depths of his heart.

Lin Ze knew very well that the book in front of him was definitely not an ordinary thing. If he could successfully comprehend the secrets hidden in it and use it to improve his own strength, then no matter how unknown and difficult the challenges in the future are, he would have a better chance of winning. This idea flashed through his mind like lightning, making him excited.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ze quickly and carefully put the book into his arms, as if it was an invaluable treasure. Then, he looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no danger around, he took firm steps towards a direction he thought was safe. He knew that what awaited him next would be a long and arduous journey of research.

Lin Ze found a quiet place, sat cross-legged, and began to study the secret book carefully.

As time went by, he became more and more immersed in it and forgot everything around him.

However, just as he was concentrating on his study, a subtle sound reached his ears.

He immediately became alert, opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

He saw a dark shadow quietly emerge like a ghost and stand not far from him.

Lin Ze's heart tightened and he became secretly on guard, while sizing up the other person.

The shadow slowly spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Boy, do you think you can take that secret book away easily? Hand it over, and I can spare your life."

Lin Ze's eyes were firm, and he did not back down: "I found this secret book, and I will not give it to anyone."

The black shadow sneered: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished! Then don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he flashed and pounced towards Lin Ze.

Lin Ze flashed and nimbly dodged the fierce attack from the black shadow that was approaching like a ghost.

At the same time, he quickly raised his right hand, and a ball of blazing flames instantly condensed in his palm, like a dazzling fireball.

As he waved his arm, the ball of fire rushed towards the black shadow like an arrow.

However, the black shadow was extremely agile. With a light leap, it easily avoided the fierce flames.

Before Lin Ze could react, the black shadow rushed towards him again like a storm.

Seeing this, Lin Ze did not dare to be negligent at all. He took a deep breath and used all his strength to perform a set of exquisite boxing skills.

The fist wind was whistling, the momentum was like a rainbow, and each punch contained a tremendous force, and a thrilling battle began with the black shadow.

For a while, the two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.

As the fists intersected, the energy was overflowing, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart. After several rounds, Lin Ze gradually found the flaws in the black shadow's moves.

In a flash, he seized the opportunity, kicked out suddenly, and kicked the black shadow hard in the chest.

The black shadow was caught off guard and was kicked backwards by the sudden kick, falling heavily to the ground.

The black shadow got up from the ground in a panic, with a hint of unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, and glared at Lin Ze fiercely.

Then, it seemed to realize that it was no match for Lin Ze, so it turned around and turned into a puff of black smoke, fleeing in panic.

Looking at the direction where the black shadow disappeared, Lin Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew in his heart that this battle was just the beginning.

There will surely be countless difficulties and obstacles waiting for him to face and overcome on the road ahead.

However, he did not show the slightest fear. Instead, his eyes were firm and his heart was full of courage and determination.

Because he always firmly believed that as long as he worked hard and persevered in practicing and constantly improving his own strength, he would one day become the most powerful being in the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze tightly grasped the precious secret book in his hand and swore secretly: "No matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead is, I will move forward bravely and never give up! One day, I will stand on the top and overlook all living beings!"

Lin Ze understood deeply that those who were his enemies would never let him go easily. They would definitely wait for an opportunity and launch a fierce attack on him again.

Therefore, he clearly knew that he had to work harder than ever before to practice diligently. Only in this way would he have enough ability to calmly deal with the many difficulties and obstacles that were about to come.

So, on a quiet night, when everything was silent, Lin Ze gently opened the secret book that he had treasured for a long time.

The yellowed pages of the book appear particularly mysterious under the dim candlelight, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.

He opened his eyes wide and read every line of the secret book word by word, fearing to miss any key information.

He repeatedly chewed and pondered the profound mysteries expounded therein, striving to fully comprehend the essence of it.

Time passed by quickly like a white horse passing by. Day after day, month after month, Lin Ze always persisted in practicing hard.

Gradually, his skills began to improve by leaps and bounds.

Both the depth of his internal strength and the skillful use of his moves have reached a new height.

One day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the world like thunder: a mysterious relic suddenly appeared in the world!

According to rumors, this relic contains countless precious treasures and unparalleled martial arts secrets.

This piece of news made the entire martial arts world boil with excitement, and heroes from all walks of life were eager to try and go and explore.

When Lin Ze heard the news, he was also excited.

He was keenly aware that this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve his own strength.

After careful consideration, he made a resolute decision - to go to the mysterious ruins in person to find out.
