"There's still a competition today. Shouldn't it be held tomorrow?"”
" No," Tang An said." In the past, there were too many people competing, and it took a lot of time. Every morning and afternoon, one or two matches would basically be dark. It's still early today, so how could the competition end just like that? I heard that the champion will be decided today."”
When Lin Yu heard this, he couldn't care less about anything else and immediately headed towards the Nine Immortal Palace.
When they arrived at the Nine Immortals Palace, there were already many people surrounding the rankings. When they saw Lin Yu and Ye Xin, they all made way for them, revealing gazes of respect. Clearly, the strength that Lin Yu and Ye Xin had displayed during the past few days had obtained the recognition of everyone.
Lin Yu entered the crowd and saw his name branded on the rankings in a golden light. Other than that, there were also Gao Zheng, Lu Xueyao, and Qin Yan's names. Lin Yu had long guessed that Gao Zheng and Lu Xueyao could win, but Qin Yan actually made it into the top four without a sound, which shocked him.
However, Lin Yu was shocked, but Tang An and the others were not surprised at all. As the only son of the Fire Spirit Peak's Peak Master, Qin Yan did not show his strength in the past years. However, the strength he displayed in this martial arts competition and the exquisite spells were amazing. Therefore, they felt that it was natural to see Qin Yan's name.
The next match was between Lin Yu and Gao Zheng! Lu Xueyao versus Qin Yan!
Lin Yu was shocked when he saw that his opponent was Gao Zheng, the favorite to win the championship. Gao Zheng was a famous expert a hundred years ago. His current cultivation was unfathomable. Even if he had not entered the peak stage of the third transition, he must have entered the third transition level. He and his junior sister Wen Yue had profound cultivation and were privately discussed by the disciples as the people with the highest cultivation in this batch.
Gao Zheng was able to defeat his junior sister, Wen Yue, and successfully advance to the next level. This showed that he was extremely powerful. Although Lin Yu was confident in himself, he still felt an unprecedented pressure when facing Gao Zheng, who had been famous for a hundred years.
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly sensed something. He turned around and saw that it was Ye Zhengtian and his wife walking towards Lin Yu and the others. The disciples of Thunder Spirit Peak bowed and said,""Greetings, Master and Mistress."
Ye Zhengtian waved his hand and said," Alright, all of you follow me to the square. The semifinals are about to begin."”
Lin Yu and the others agreed and followed Ye Zhengtian and his wife. Along the way, Ye Zhengtian asked about the situation of Lin Yu and Ye Xin's competition and comforted the defeated Ye Xin. Finally, Ye Zhengtian said to Lin Yu,"Sixth Brother, I'm very pleased that you've made it into the top four.”
"It's all thanks to Master's nurturing," Lin Yu said happily.”
Ye Zhengtian shook his head and said," You've contributed greatly to your achievements today. There's no need to decline. However, you have to be careful in the following matches. Gao Zheng's cultivation is extremely high. He even just defeated his junior sister, Wen Yue. Do you know that?”Ye Zhengtian's tone was a little meaningful at the end.
Hearing Ye Zhengtian's words, Lin Yu felt that it was a little strange. He repeated it a few times in his heart and his eyes lit up. He knew that Ye Zhengtian was secretly reminding him of his chance to win. Even if Gao Zheng had just defeated Wen Yue, he must have used up a lot of energy and would not be able to recover in a few days. This was also his only chance. Lin Yu understood and said,"Master, disciple understands."
Ye Zhengtian nodded and did not say anything else. He left with Su Rong and Ye Xin.
Even though he was not confident about this match, time would not change just because of a person's will. What should have come had come. Lin Yu stood on the stage, while Ye Zhengtian and his wife sat below the stage. Behind him were his senior brothers and sisters.
At this moment, Lin Yu felt inexplicably nervous.
"Senior Brother Gao, you can do it!"
"Victory!"
Lin Yu did not know when he realized that Gao Zheng had already arrived on the opposite side. His figure was elegant and handsome. The moment he appeared, he caused a commotion in the entire arena. Lin Yu looked at the disciples watching the battle below and realized that the number of people watching the battle was only slightly less than the number of people watching the battle between Lu Xueyao and Qin Yan.
Lin Yu smiled bitterly. Gao Zheng's popularity was really hard to say. He had taken advantage of him this time. The number of people who had attended his previous competitions was not even one-tenth of this competition.
Compared to the cheers for Gao Zheng, the cheers for Lin Yu were almost negligible. Only Song Tian and the others were cheering for Lin Yu below, but soon, this sound was drowned out by the waves of cheers for Gao Zheng.
"Damn it, it's not like we're competing in numbers. Can we win just because we have a louder voice?”Du Hong shouted until his throat was hoarse. However, in the face of an absolute disadvantage in numbers, Du Hong could only curse helplessly. However, although he was cursing, the jealousy in his tone was obvious.
Waves of sound came from all directions. Lin Yu endured the endless sound waves and clenched his hands tightly. His expression was a little absent-minded. The sound waves seemed to be far away in the sky, but they were right in front of him.
This feeling was like a seven-year-old boy facing the ridicule of thousands of people eighteen years ago!
Eighteen years of bitter cultivation had allowed him to stand on this stage, but it still brought him only ridicule and disdain. The veins on his clenched fists bulged, and Lin Yu's heart was filled with anger for no reason.
"Clang!"
The bell of the competition finally rang. Lin Yu's eyes flashed as he formed a hand seal and waved it. A circular plate spiraled out and rapidly expanded in size, floating in the air.
When everyone saw the rusted disc, they immediately burst into laughter. Compared to the immortal sword that Gao Zheng had released, it was like an ugly duckling facing a white swan.
"When did little junior brother's immortal weapon become this disc? Isn't his immortal weapon the Fire Spirit Sword?”On the side of Lightning Spirit Peak, Ye Xin couldn't help but ask even though she was furious when she heard everyone's mockery.
Song Tian and the others shook their heads.
Lin Yu ignored everyone's mockery and stepped on the air. Like a flash of lightning, he stepped on the enlarged disc. At this moment, he had his own thoughts when he took out the disc. Although he did not know what this disc was, Lin Yu's speed was ten times faster after riding it. Moreover, the disc was extremely sharp and hard, and could also be used for attack and defense.
The Fire Spirit Sword appeared on his wrist. Lin Yu waved the Fire Spirit Sword and said indifferently,"Lin Yu of Lightning Spirit Peak, please enlighten me.”
Lin Yu's movements were extremely swift and unrestrained. Gao Zheng's expression froze as he watched Lin Yu's actions. He was shocked and began to look at Lin Yu. He immediately began to chant. A golden immortal sword emitted a blazing golden light and floated in front of his chest." Gao Zheng of Lingyun Peak, level-five immortal weapon, Golden Light Sword. Please enlighten me."”
Lin Yu nodded. He clenched a spell with his right hand, and the disk under his feet spun. Lin Yu's body instantly disappeared, and he appeared in front of Gao Zheng like a flash of lightning. The Fire Spirit Sword tore through the air and erupted with a hundred thousand feet of red light as it slashed towards Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng had focused his attention on the battle when Lin Yu attacked. However, just as Lin Yu attacked, he felt his vision blur and Lin Yu's figure disappeared from his eyes. Gao Zheng had rich experience in fighting. He immediately shouted that it was not good and hurriedly retreated. However, at this moment, Lin Yu appeared beside him and slashed at him.
Gao Zheng was indeed an outstanding disciple of the main peak. He did not panic in the face of danger. His retreating body did a somersault and dodged the Fire Spirit Sword. The Fire Spirit Sword pierced through the air and hit the ring in a moment.
"Boom!" With a shocking explosion, the entire stage was instantly turned into powder. Countless wooden shavings turned into sharp blades and scattered in all directions. They hit the restrictions around the stage and caused another explosion.
The spectating disciples turned pale with fright. They did not expect a junior like Lin Yu to have such strength. That light blow actually destroyed the entire solid arena. If it were not for the protection of the restriction, the disciples who were close to them would have suffered. This time, no one dared to underestimate Lin Yu.
At this moment, Lin Yu put all his attention into the battle. He ignored the shattering of the arena and followed Gao Zheng like a shadow. At this moment, he exerted his speed to the extreme. He had cultivated the wind spiritual power and the spiritual monkey movement technique. His movement speed had already faintly surpassed the movement technique of the Shadowless Sword Sect. Coupled with the speed increase of the disc, his speed was simply like a ghost.
Gao Zheng had lost the upper hand and could only dodge continuously. However, Lin Yu's speed was simply like a ghost that flickered in the entire arena space. Every time, he posed a huge threat to Gao Zheng.
However, although Gao Zheng was in a sorry state, his battle instincts allowed him to avoid danger every time he was in danger. However, even so, Gao Zheng was still so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. In order to avoid Lin Yu's sneak attack, he could only exhaust his mental strength and constantly dodge.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, relied on his movement technique to continuously launch sneak attacks. He caught the disc and used up very little spiritual power. Coupled with the help of the spiritual power of the lotus space, his recovery speed was extremely fast, so the spiritual power he used up was almost negligible.
However, Gao Zheng couldn't do it. Although he had defeated Wen Yue not long ago, Wen Yue's cultivation was slightly lower than his. He had also relied on his rich combat experience to win, but he had also consumed a lot of energy.
Although the short period of practice allowed him to recover his spiritual power, it could not recover his energy. Therefore, under the constant dodging of Lin Yu's attacks, Gao Zheng was exhausted and his mind was greatly exhausted.
The spectators only felt that Gao Zheng was constantly dodging in the arena, and Lin Yu's body was almost invisible. They could only see him briefly when he stopped attacking. In their eyes, Lin Yu was flashing in the arena space as if he had teleported.
This speed that they could not understand caused an uproar among the spectating disciples. Seeing that Lin Yu's every attack brought about monstrous flames, and Gao Zheng dodged every time, this kind of battle that was in a state of tension at all times made them intoxicated and unable to control themselves.
"Zhengtian, when did Little Yu learn such a movement technique? I can see that with his rank three cultivation level, it would be difficult to find a second person in the entire continent with his speed.”Su Rong, who was watching the battle, asked Ye Zhengtian with a puzzled expression.
