Lin Yun is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force; if someone is polite to him, he will be polite in return.

Therefore, Lin Yun did not quickly remove Wang Zhu from the position, but instead engaged in a brief exchange of blows with him.

Mainly, Lin Yun also wanted to personally witness the power of various martial arts techniques on Earth, since he had already planned to learn some Earth martial arts techniques.

The opponent has already reached the early stage of internal strength, and most of the martial arts he has practiced can exert considerable power.

There aren't actually that many classic moves in a set of martial arts techniques.

After more than twenty moves, Lin Yun had a pretty good understanding of the martial arts techniques used by Wang Zhu, so he used a move to knock Wang Zhu off the stage.

Because Lin Yun used skillful force, Wang Zhu was not injured. After falling off the stage, he flipped over and got up.

"Thank you for your mercy, Brother Lin..." Wang Zhu bowed to Lin Yun again, expressing his deep gratitude.

In fact, he knew that Lin Yun was very strong, but he still fought with Lin Yun. On the one hand, he couldn't refuse, and on the other hand, he wanted to broaden his own knowledge.

He discovered that Lin Yun was very strong in martial arts, and he vaguely felt that his strength and knowledge would increase significantly after he fought with Lin Yun.

Indeed, after his fight with Lin Yun, he gained many insights into the martial arts he had practiced, and for this reason, he felt genuinely grateful to Lin Yun.

In the true martial arts world, among true martial artists, the strong are respected.

There aren't many martial artists who are so powerful yet treat the weak in this way.

"You're welcome." Lin Yun nodded slightly, turned around, and walked off the stage.

The words "You're welcome" shouldn't be said by the winner, but Lin Yun certainly had the right to say them. No one found it incongruous or thought Lin Yun was too arrogant.

"Lin Yi wins and advances to the top three of the Rookie Competition!" The referee promptly went up on stage and shouted.

There were no repechage rounds in either of these two rounds; those who lost could only compete for lower rankings.

The competition among the top three is even simpler.

Choose your own ranking...

The other two are welcome to challenge them if they disagree.

Three imposing chairs stood below the judging panel, in the center of the arena, attracting everyone's attention.

Soon, the matches on the other two arenas also ended, and Lin Yun walked with the other two winners toward the three chairs.

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi!"

Seeing this, the scene erupted in cheers, and the rookie competition reached its climax, especially as many young martial artists shouted excitedly.

Lin Yun, a young martial artist who was about the same age as them but could fight against martial arts masters head-on and whose strength far exceeded that of martial artists of the same age, became an idol in the hearts of almost all young martial artists.

Seeing this, the other two winners smiled bitterly to themselves.

They are all figures who surpass ordinary martial arts prodigies, true disciples of their respective sects, or even their most treasured disciples. Normally, any one of them would be the center of attention in a typical rookie competition.

Now, all the brilliance around them was overshadowed by Lin Yun.

They could barely emit any light, which left them feeling quite helpless.

However, they had to admit that Lin Yun's strength was far superior to theirs.

They are not even in the same league.

With their level of skill, it's ridiculous that they even came to participate in the Rookie Tournament; it's simply bullying them.

They had already decided that they wouldn't compete for first place; they would compete for second and third place.

"Do you have any objections to me taking the first seat?" Soon, Lin Yun walked to the three seats, sat in the first seat, turned to look at the other two winners, and asked calmly.

His tone was very calm, but it exuded an unparalleled domineering aura.

"Lin Yi is number one! Lin Yi is number one!"

As Lin Yi spoke, the crowd below the arena erupted in even greater fervor, with almost everyone chanting the same name—something that had never happened before in the Rising Star Competition of the Martial Arts Tournament.

"Lin Yi has a very high talent for martial arts, and his training speed is also very fast. Given time, he will definitely become an extraordinary figure..."

"He's only at the early stage of Dark Force, yet he can already contend with a Martial Arts Grandmaster. I wonder how terrifying his strength would be if he reached the Grandmaster level..."

"I really don't know what kind of power could cultivate such a disciple..."

On the judging panel, several martial arts masters exclaimed in admiration.

"Perhaps, that sword should have fallen into the hands of such a peerless genius. Only in the hands of such a genius would that sword not have been wasted..."

"A peerless sword paired with a peerless genius, this is a perfect match..."

Some high-ranking members of prestigious sects shook their heads slightly and sighed.

The prizes for the top few winners haven't been announced yet, but they've already been taken out, placed in a box, and put in full view of everyone, so there's no way to back out now.

"Lin Yi's current strength is enough to contend with a martial arts grandmaster at the early stage of the Transformation Realm. If he obtains that sword, he could probably contend with a martial arts grandmaster at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm..."

A high-ranking member of a prestigious sect nodded.

If it were someone else, they would most likely be unwilling, and perhaps they would use some means to at least prevent the other party from getting first place.

After all, the prize for first place is extremely valuable.

However, Lin Yun's strength... not only conquered countless martial artists below the arena, but also conquered them.

They were quite convinced that such a precious prize had fallen into the hands of such an unparalleled genius.

Some high-ranking members of prestigious sects even believe that this may be the will of Heaven.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Lin Yun's strength is already comparable to that of a martial arts grandmaster at the early stage of the Transformation Realm, making it difficult for them to use certain methods.

When a person's strength reaches a certain level, ordinary methods become useless.

This is definitely crushing.

"no comment."

"I have no objection either."

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the two winners quickly responded.

"Hey, Brother Qi, let's have a match and see who gets the second-best seat!" one of the winners said, turning to the other and quickly changing the subject.

They are all exceptional figures who surpass ordinary martial arts talents, yet they don't even have the thought of fighting Lin Yi. It's truly embarrassing.

“Okay.” The other winner, who was also thinking of changing the subject, nodded immediately upon hearing this.

"etc……"

Just then, an old voice rang out.

Like a reverberation, it covered the entire venue, creating a very powerful atmosphere.

Some weaker martial artists, upon hearing this voice, even felt their blood and qi boiling within them—a genuine boiling, yet also somewhat suppressed and uncomfortable.

"Is this the Buddhist Lion's Roar?"

On the judging panel, some martial arts masters' expressions changed drastically.

The Buddhist Lion's Roar can be used to this extent, so the opponent is not weak, at least a top expert among martial arts masters.

"Who are you, friends, who have come to the martial arts gathering?"

Zhang Qiankun, the vice-chairman of the martial arts tournament who was at the peak of the Transformation Realm, looked up in one direction and said in a deep voice.

The one who spoke just now was not a martial arts master present, but someone from outside the crowd.

"Taiyi, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Group."

The aged voice spoke again, softly.

The words were rather long, and as they fell, some people finally noticed the direction from which the sound came. Of course, most people noticed it by looking up at the direction the martial arts masters on the judging panel were looking.

After all, these martial arts masters are extremely powerful, and some of them are even the strongest among martial arts masters, with terrifying hearing and perception.

"Hiss—"

"Is this a celestial being descending from the heavens?"

"Holy crap, is this person flying?"

"Is this even human?"

Upon seeing the scene in the distance, exclamations of surprise rang out.

Not far away, among the mountain peaks, a white figure was rapidly approaching. The figure was already in mid-air, with a sheer cliff below, yet showed no sign of falling.

Just then, the white figure had already flashed a long distance. When he was about to land at a certain point, he lightly stepped on the ground, and his entire body rose up quickly like a feather and headed towards this place, looking as if he was really flying.

Flying is a dream for many people.

Although modern technology allows airplanes to take off and people to sit inside, this can be considered an indirect way of achieving this goal.

However, this was not actual human flight.

At this moment, countless martial artists were deeply shocked by what they saw.
