"The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Group?"
"Taiyi? Could it be that person from decades ago..."
"Could this be... the Innate Realm? The internal energy within the body has transformed into true qi, capable of drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, splitting mountains and cleaving rivers, making the body as light as a feather—this is precisely the mark of the Innate Realm..."
On the judging panel, many martial arts masters were speechless.
"They're actually from the Heavenly Group..."
"It's still the Supreme Elder, what's he doing here..."
"I never imagined the Heavenly Group was so powerful..."
From all directions, many martial artists were whispering among themselves.
Many of them had heard of the Heavenly Group, and some martial artists even knew that members of the Heavenly Group would attend every martial arts tournament. After all, this was a large-scale gathering of martial artists from all over China, and without official supervision, who knew what kind of trouble might occur.
However, it is said that the leader of the martial arts tournament discussed with the Chinese government that even if the members of the Heavenly Group appeared, they should not reveal their identities. In many dynasties, the martial arts world and the government had a very sensitive relationship. If most martial artists knew about this, it would probably cause resistance and be detrimental to the holding of the martial arts tournament.
At first, it was like this, but later, many martial artists got used to it after learning about it. Of course, most martial artists still didn't know.
"Taiyi? I never expected that after so many years, he would reappear, and have already broken through to the legendary Innate Realm. He truly deserves to be called a peerless genius from decades ago..."
Among the crowd, an elderly man sighed softly.
"Master, do you know this Taiyi?"
A young martial artist's eyes lit up, and he quickly said.
"I know him? Heh, I do know him, but he doesn't know me, Master. Back when I was still following my master, he was already famous. At that time, he was a renowned peerless genius... At twenty-seven, he not only reached the peak of Dark Force, but could also contend with a martial arts grandmaster at the early stage of Transformation Force. Later, I heard that he broke through to the Transformation Force Grandmaster realm at thirty-two. Once he entered the Transformation Force realm, he could contend with a martial arts grandmaster at the middle stage of Transformation Force..."
The old man chuckled.
"Only those at the peak of Dark Force can contend with martial arts masters at the early stage of Transformation Force. Is that all there is to it? Look at Lin Yi, at the early stage of Dark Force, he can already contend with martial arts masters at the early stage of Transformation Force..." the young martial artist said, curling his lip.
"You think challenging someone of a higher level is so simple? The peak of Dark Force and the early stage of Transformation Force are two major realms apart, with a world of difference between them. The gap between them is just like the gap between the early stage of Dark Force and the peak of Dark Force. You don't know, back then, when Taiyi challenged someone of a higher level, he truly amazed many martial arts masters..."
The old man shook his head.
"Furthermore, the fact that Taiyi can cultivate to the legendary Innate Realm is enough to prove the terrifying nature of his martial arts talent. Before this, I thought that this realm was just a legend, but I didn't expect to see it today... Don't look down on Lin Yi. He can challenge so many levels above him now, but he may not be able to reach Taiyi's current level in the end. I believe that this legendary realm cannot be reached by simple martial arts talent. It also requires various kinds of luck and decades of hard work..."
After a pause, the old man pondered for a moment.
"For example, some martial artists who initially showed amazing talent may not necessarily be able to break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm, while some martial artists who initially performed mediocrely may eventually break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. This is true talent, the true winner in the end. I estimate that the legendary Innate Realm is even more powerful than this..."
The old man sighed.
In his opinion, Taiyi's absence from the martial world for decades was perhaps due to his arduous cultivation. If so, this was not something an ordinary person could do, especially for a once-renowned young master.
“Since Taiyi can cultivate to the legendary Innate Realm, I believe Lin Yi can too…” the young martial artist said proudly, raising his head.
His words revealed his immense confidence in Lin Yun, after all, Lin Yun was his idol. And Lin Yun's current performance was far more impressive than what his master had described as Taiyi back then.
The old man shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
Some things, some truths, some people will not understand unless they have experienced them.
A moment of brilliance can be achieved by anyone with talent.
To be stunningly brilliant in one's lifetime is something that not everyone can achieve.
Taiyi moved very fast, and arrived at the scene of the martial arts tournament in just a few breaths.
"So it's Senior Taiyi who has arrived. I apologize for not welcoming you properly. Senior Taiyi, is there something you need?"
Zhang Qiankun, the vice-chairman of the martial arts tournament, quickly stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said...
Taiyi was only a few years older than him, but when Taiyi became famous, he was just an ordinary martial artist. At that time, Taiyi treated some of his seniors as equals.
Therefore, it was not wrong for him to call Taiichi-senpai.
Needless to say, different sects don't matter much. In the martial arts world, the strong are generally respected, and Taiyi has clearly broken through to the legendary Innate Realm.
"I've come here primarily for a junior," Taiyi said calmly.
As he spoke, Taiyi looked up at the Rookie Competition and saw Lin Yun in the first of the three seats.
"Should I call you Lin Yi or Lin Yun?" Taiyi asked calmly the next moment.
"Lin Yi? Lin Yun? What's going on?"
"This super strong expert actually knows Lin Yi?"
"Could this super strong expert from the Heavenly Group be Lin Yi's master? It must be! Only a god-like figure like him could teach such a powerful disciple!"
"A ghost's master? Didn't you notice the language and tone of this super strong person? Did your math teacher teach you Chinese? They should be enemies. I think Lin Yi's master should be this super strong person's enemy. Hmm, Lin Yi's master shouldn't be much weaker than this super strong person..."
Upon hearing Taiyi's words, many martial artists below the arena erupted in commotion and began to speculate.
At this moment, most martial artists had not yet realized that Lin Yun was the same Lin Yun from the recently famous Qingyun Company.
After all, Lin Yi's strength at this moment is truly amazing. He is only at the early stage of Dark Force, yet he can fight against a martial arts master at the early stage of Transformation Force without being at a disadvantage. Lin Yun became famous recently mainly because of the martial arts masters around him and the firearms they used.
One relies on its own strength, and the other relies on firearms, which makes many martial artists subconsciously not associate them together.
Only a very few martial artists had a flash of inspiration, as if they had thought of something.
“Lin Yun…he really is Lin Yun…I didn’t guess wrong…”
Amidst the crowd, Lin Mengmeng trembled and murmured, her beautiful eyes then filled with endless worry.
She knew how big the conflict between Lin Yun and the Heavenly Group was. Several martial arts masters of the Heavenly Group had died at Lin Yun's hands. Now, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Group had come, and he was a legendary figure at the Innate Realm.
Can Lin Yun withstand it?
Thinking this, she felt a pang of self-reproach.
If Lin Yun hadn't stood up for her, he wouldn't have offended the Eight Extremes Sect, nor would he have exposed his strength. Perhaps, he wouldn't be exposed now either. It was because of her that Lin Yun ended up in such a dangerous situation.
"Lin Yun... So, Lin Yi is Lin Yun, and Lin Yun is Lin Yi. No wonder Mengmeng said I knew him too. No wonder he spoke to Mengmeng like that. So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Behind Lin Mengmeng, Lin Yuanshan's body trembled, and he quickly reacted, feeling extremely shocked.
He truly hadn't expected that Lin Yi was Lin Yun's. He hadn't realized that Lin Yun possessed such terrifying strength. Back then, Lin Yun had even hired a large number of security guards and bodyguards from their Golden Sword Security Company. According to his daughter, Lin Yun's strength was only slightly higher than hers, and in fact, at the beginning, Lin Yun's apparent strength was even inferior to hers.
Later, he heard about Lin Yun leading people to destroy the Mo and Lu families, and about the spread of Lin Yun's cultivation level. He just thought it was mostly hearsay, or that Lin Yun had just broken through to the early stage of Dark Force after a great opportunity, but that was all.
Under these circumstances, how did he come to the conclusion that Lin Yi was Lin Yun?
"Lin Yun... He is Lin Yun... No wonder I always felt a sense of familiarity with him. Yes, although his appearance has changed and his voice has changed, his domineering aura remains the same... I never expected that he was the one who crippled my senior brother's martial arts..."
Among the crowd, there was a stunningly beautiful girl looking at Lin Yun on the arena and murmuring to herself.
She is none other than the Fairy Yan, admired by many martial artists, one of Wei Donglai's disciples, and Zhong Nan's junior sister.
Ever since she saw Lin Yun that day, Lin Yun's image has been imprinted in her heart. At this moment, she immediately realized that the Lin Yun Taiyi was talking about was the Lin Yun she had met before.
"How did you find me?" Looking at Taiyi not far away, Lin Yun slowly stood up and asked with a hint of curiosity.
Although the lie detector on his body was too low-level to test the psychological activities of a powerful person of this level, his strong mental perception allowed him to sense that the other party was not bluffing him, but was genuinely certain of his identity.
However, he wasn't too afraid of a martial artist at the Innate Realm, after all, he had already purchased a robot with the strength of the early Innate Realm.
The Cosmic Trading System has already detected that this Taiyi is only at the early stage of the Innate Realm.
Just as he arrived at the mountain, he had already found an opportunity to release the robot with the strength of the early stage of the Innate Realm. Now, it is located below the arena, in the crowd, not far from him.
If a fight really breaks out, his safety should be fine.
As long as his safety is not in question, a martial artist at the early stage of the Innate Realm is nothing.
He can now obtain seven or eight thousand spirit crystals every day. In his opinion, as long as he saves up spirit crystals for a few days, he can buy a robot that is stronger than the opponent.
So, what is so scary about the other person to him?
