C392 Unremitting Efforts

In the weak light, Lin Long lowered his head and used his rune pen to draw rune threads on the rune apparatus.

This action might seem simple, but it was not. This was because the soul power would be used during the process, so even though it looked easy, it was like lifting a huge rock by an ordinary person. It was extremely tiring.

No!

After drawing a few lines, the dissatisfied Lin Long used a special medicine to wipe off the runes and threads on the rune apparatus, then he started to draw another rune and thread again.

After a while, he was still dissatisfied, and could only continue again.

This continued several times, and even until this blank rune apparatus damaged him, he still did not succeed.

Pouring spiritual force into every stroke and stroke would cause harm to the rune apparatus, so, if drawn too many times, it would completely damage the rune apparatus.

This forced Lin Long to take out a new blank rune apparatus. Fortunately, he knew how to create this kind of blank rune apparatus, and the materials used could be found in the entire tribe, so as long as it was not too damaged, it would not affect his production.

Time passed minute after minute, but Lin Long still did not succeed. Every time he thought that he had grasped inspiration, he would not be able to grab hold of the concept when he wrote the lines, and would end up drawing the runes that failed.

However, Lin Long did not give up. He knew that success sometimes depended on this kind of perseverance.

Lin Long could persevere, but time waited for no one. While he was engrossed in his work, the outside of the window was already starting to light up, which meant, there was not much time left for the competition.

The time for the competition was set to be in the morning, the moment the sun rose.

After an unknown amount of time, a girl holding a steaming bowl of soup carefully walked towards Lin Long's house.

This girl was naturally Liu Ruolan. Originally, her parents did not allow her to come in contact with Lin Long these few days, but at this critical juncture, she had disobeyed her parents' orders.

Of course, she did not plan to let others know, so she had already brewed a bowl of thick soup at dawn, and used it to nourish Lin Long. She then returned to her own room before her clansmen had time to wake up.

When she arrived in front of Lin Long's room, she was just about to put down the bowl and knock on the door, but she was suddenly stunned. This was because she discovered that the door was not closed, and she could see through the crack of the door, that Lin Long was sleeping on the table.

Why is Lin Gongzi not sleeping on the bed but on the table instead? Could it be that he did not sleep well last night?

Originally, she wanted to wake Lin Long up, but after thinking about it, she gave up. After all, Lin Long looked very sleepy.

Therefore, she set the bowl of soup aside and left quietly.

After leaving, she did not return to her own room. Instead, she went to Liu Zong's place and told him to go take a look at Lin Long.

Hearing that Lin Long didn't seem to be able to sleep well that night, Liu Zong, who had just gotten up from his bed, quickly went to Lin Long's room.

Actually, Liu Ruolan had felt it when she came to Lin Long, but he was just too tired, so she did not even plan to sit up and greet them. After all, he had spent the entire night drawing rune and thread, and had consumed too much spiritual energy.

When Lin Long raised his head from the table, there were only two cups of tea worth of time left.

Liu Zong was now as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Honestly speaking, if Lin Long did not wake up soon, he would definitely wake him up.

Seeing Lin Long's bloodshot eyes and exhausted appearance, Liu Zong originally wanted to say something to reprimand Lin Long, but in the end, he did not. He pointed to the thick soup that was already cold as he said to Lin Long, "Quickly drink it.

The thick soup was originally hot, but it was already completely cold at this time, but Lin Long did not mind, as he tilted his neck and drank the thick soup.

Even though the soup was cold, he could feel his heart burning.

"Liu Zong, let's go." With that, Lin Long stood up and walked out.

Slightly shaking his head, Liu Zong also followed behind Lin Long.

The location of the competition was the central square of the tribe. At this moment, the small central square was already filled with people from the tribe.

The dignified Lu Yangyu was already standing on the stage in the center plaza, but his opponent had yet to appear.2

"Ol'ninth, why hasn't your clan's Lin Long come yet? Could it be that he gave up due to fear?" Lu Bing teased loudly.

He was very clear about Lu Yangyu's strength, and he simply did not believe that Lin Long could pose any threat to him. Therefore, he was extremely relaxed, and seeing that it was not long before the competition and Lin Long had not arrived yet, he naturally seized this opportunity to ridicule Ninth Uncle.

"Uncle Bing is right, that Lin Long must be afraid, that's why he hasn't come yet."

"I really don't know how he got the guts to challenge Young Master Lu Yangyu."

"How dare you? "Isn't this just to make the Liu Family feel disgusted? To make the Liu Family look down on the Liu Family."

As soon as Lu Bing finished speaking, many people started to mock Lin Long and the Liu Family.

This made many Liu Family members lose face. After all, with Lu Yangyu's strength, the chances of Lin Long winning were extremely small.

If Lin Long had not allowed their Liu Family to obtain the first place, many of them would probably have ridiculed Lin Long on the spot.

"Lu Bing, don't think that everyone is like you, a turtle hiding its head in its shell the moment you start fighting." Hearing this, Ninth Uncle could not help but be angered, and blurted out the matter of Lu Bing, causing his face to immediately turn the color of a pig's liver.

"Hmph, Ol 'Nine, even if Lin Long dares to come later, Yang Yu will torture him like a dog." Lu Bing laughed coldly.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Long had given up, Lin Long and his son had arrived late.

Upon seeing Lin Long, Lu Bing immediately found the words to attack the Ninth Uncle, because Lin Long's eyes were red and his mind was tired. From the looks of it, he had not slept for the whole night.

"Hahaha, Ol 'Nine, look, this Lin Long was probably so afraid last night that he didn't sleep well the whole night. In that state, he probably can't even block a single move from Yang Yu." Lu Bing laughed complacently. His laughter was so loud that everyone present could hear him.

"Uncle Bing is right, this Lin Long did not sleep well last night, probably because of this competition."

"If only you knew earlier, you would not have been such a hero. You could have just handed Liu Ruolan over to him. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come out here to lose face."

"If I were him, I wouldn't even dare to come to this competition site."

Seeing Lin Long's condition, many people started to ridicule him.

On the other hand, the Liu Family members were ashamed to the point that their faces were as low as their chests. They were ashamed that Lin Long was a member of their Family.

"Alright, the time is right. Lin Long, please come up on stage!"

At this moment, a loud voice resounded.

It was the head of the Lu family, Lu Zhan. He was expressionless as he stood in front of the Lu family.
