"I should apologize... I should apologize..."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Lin Mengmeng was shocked, and then she kept murmuring to herself.
The voice felt familiar to her, and the content of the words made her heart skip a beat, as if she had thought of something.
She was just a hair's breadth away from having an idea; she felt like she could come up with something.
"Young Miss, shall we go and take a look..."
Some disciples of the Golden Sword Sect surrounded Lin Mengmeng and asked in hushed tones.
"Mengmeng... what's wrong..."
Lin Yuanshan also walked over and asked in a low voice.
He noticed that Lin Mengmeng's reaction seemed a bit off.
"I know, I know, so that's it, so that's him...he is..." Suddenly, Lin Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at her father, her face full of excitement.
Although Lin Yun's voice changed slightly, the change was not significant. In particular, a person's language habits and manner of speaking are things that are difficult to change. Lin Mengmeng had sparred with Lin Yun many times, and Lin Yun had given her guidance on many occasions. She was very familiar with the way Lin Yun spoke.
Adding to what Lin Yun had just said... she finally realized and confirmed Lin Yun's identity.
The practice of disguising oneself and changing one's voice in the martial arts world is not just a legend.
However, as soon as she said those words, she realized that Lin Yun's identity could not be revealed casually. Presumably, Lin Yun had disguised himself and changed his voice for this reason, so she was even more determined not to expose Lin Yun's identity.
"Huh? Mengmeng, do you know that Lin Yi?" Lin Yuanshan was taken aback when he saw Lin Mengmeng's expression and asked.
“Not only do I know him, but you know him too, Father. I’ll tell you when I get back!” Lin Mengmeng said happily, looking at Lin Yuanshan.
Lin Mengmeng was originally a very cheerful girl, but in the past few days, a series of events had made her feel very depressed and unhappy. At this moment, her strong reaction made it seem as if the whole world suddenly became sunny, and she returned to being that cheerful girl.
Lin Mengmeng's appearance, on the contrary, made many young martial artists around her's eyes light up slightly.
"So, Fairy Lin has this side to her..."
"This way, she's even more captivating..."
Some people sighed inwardly.
"Mengmeng, could it be that Lin Yi is your sweetheart?" Lin Yuanshan still couldn't remember who Lin Yi was, but seeing Lin Mengmeng's expression, Lin Yuanshan had a vague guess and smiled slightly as he spoke.
Perhaps his daughter had mentioned the other person to him before?
He thought to himself.
The fact that the opponent could reach the top 20 and compete head-on with someone like Zhong Nan suggests that they may also have a powerful background or significant connections.
The fact that the other party was willing to stand up for his daughter suggests that they also had feelings for her.
If his daughter really gets together with that other person, perhaps the Lin family's crisis can be resolved, but who knows?
Upon hearing Lin Yuanshan's words, Lin Mengmeng's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Lin Yuanshan and said coquettishly, "Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about? He's just a friend of mine."
"Father, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to go check out the life-or-death arena..." Lin Mengmeng quickly said.
Her words were somewhat flustered, and Lin Mengmeng's heart was pounding.
For some reason, her heart started pounding when her father talked about what he had just said; something felt very wrong.
Could it be that I really like him?
Lin Mengmeng was lost in thought.
How could that be? She's my best friend, my senior's boyfriend. How could I possibly like him?
However, even some powerful martial artists in the martial arts world have several partners...
No, this is a new society now, polygamy is allowed, how could she think like that?
Lin Mengmeng quickly dismissed these thoughts.
"Okay." Seeing Lin Mengmeng's expression, Lin Yuanshan became even more certain of his guess and smiled.
He was also very curious about Lin Yi's strength. Although he had learned from some people around him that Lin Yi was only at the peak of the Ming Jin realm, he always felt that Lin Yi's strength was more than that.
This is an intuition.
If his daughter is truly interested in Lin Yi, he also needs to find out Lin Yun's strength and identity.
As for his and Lin Mengmeng leaving the martial arts tournament, the official finals hadn't started yet, and some people's attention hadn't been drawn to them, so they weren't in a hurry to leave.
On a life-or-death arena.
Lin Yun and Zhong Nan have already stepped up.
"Once you step onto the deathmatch arena, you are responsible for your own life and death. Have you made up your minds?" the referee on the deathmatch arena asked according to procedure.
"It's decided," Lin Yun said, looking at the referee.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually dare to step onto the deathmatch stage. I underestimated you. But soon, you'll regret it, believe it or not..." Zhong Nan didn't look at the referee; he looked directly at Lin Yun, smiled coldly, and said.
As he walked onto the life-or-death arena, Zhong Nan thought about yesterday's events more clearly, and he recalled Lin Yun's information in more detail.
He remembered that he asked the people around him about the other person's situation because the other person's moves were very clever.
It's not very strong or fast, but it always delivers just the right amount of power.
Many perfectly timed moves are ones that even he might not be able to execute.
Therefore, he asked about it at the time.
However, he was certain that his opponent had not reached the level of internal strength...
It's even uncertain whether the opponent has reached the peak of Ming Jin, because the power and speed they used at the time did not reach the peak of Ming Jin.
How dare someone who hasn't even reached the level of internal strength challenge a master like him?
Haha, how arrogant!
Zhong Nan believed he understood the opponent's trump card and the source of their confidence!
Therefore... he is even more confident in his abilities and in this battle!
Seeing this, the referee knew that Zhong Nan had tacitly accepted the rules of the life-or-death arena, so he turned and left.
In the arena of life and death, there aren't many rules. You can even kill someone without needing his intervention as the referee.
"I don't know if I'll regret it soon, but I do know that you will soon regret it..." Lin Yun said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yun was too lazy to waste any more words with Zhong Nan. He flashed towards Zhong Nan and threw a punch at the same time.
He didn't use his own speed, or the speed and power of that punch, too fast or too great.
Because there's no need...
Using the least amount of force to achieve the greatest effect is a habit that Lin Yun developed after learning more than two hundred martial arts techniques, many of which he mastered.
"With that kind of speed and power, you think you can deal with me?"
Seeing the speed at which Lin Yun was rushing over, as well as the speed and power of his punches, Zhong Nan thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and gave a cold smile before speaking.
As expected, the opponent had not reached the Dark Force realm; as expected, the opponent only had such poor strength.
"Bang--"
The next moment, Zhong Nan caught Lin Yun's punch.
However, Zhong Nan's expression quickly changed slightly.
Because after catching Lin Yun's punch, he quickly withdrew it and then used another move, which Zhong Nan did not expect.
"Hmph, a mere trick..." Zhong Nan snorted coldly, using most of his strength to finally catch the attack.
The opponent's moves were indeed ingenious, but that's all for now. The difference in their strength was too great to be resolved by mere clever moves. Now it was his turn to perform.
However, just as Zhong Nan was thinking this, his expression changed again in the next moment.
But Lin Yun took the opportunity to use another move, and this move... was difficult for him to defend against in his current state.
"You're asking for death—" Zhong Nan roared angrily, his face grim.
However, just as he expected, he couldn't defend against this move and could only take it head-on.
"Bang--"
He slapped Zhong Nan on the back, causing Zhong Nan to stagger.
Zhong Nan was furious that a master of internal strength like himself had lost to a martial artist of external strength in terms of technique.
The next moment, he turned his body, intending to launch a strong counterattack.
However, at this moment, Lin Yun used another move...
"Bang--"
Another palm struck Zhong Nan's chest, causing Zhong Nan to lose his balance again, which he had just regained, and his whole body leaned backward.
Just then, Lin Yun lunged backward along with Zhong Nan, grabbing Zhong Nan's neck with one hand. It looked like he could snap Zhong Nan's neck with a twist of his wrist.
Lin Yun also intended to do that.
This is a life-or-death arena. Once you step onto it, you are responsible for your own life and death. Even if he kills Zhong Nan on the arena, no one can say anything.
These are the rules of the life-or-death arena.
After this battle, he can still participate in the Rookie Challenge as usual.
Yesterday, he only crippled Li Xintang's arm because he had promised Zhu Haoran. He hadn't made any promises to Zhong Nan.
Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, he had seen the other party at the Mo family's house last time.
Last time, the other party stood on his opposing side. This time, the other party is using his affairs to threaten the people around him with words and actions. Do they really think he, Lin Yun, is a pushover?
"Hey kid, stop!"
However, just as Lin Yun was about to snap Zhong Nan's neck, an angry shout rang out.
A figure rushed quickly toward the arena of life and death.
At the same time, a dark shadow struck him.
Lin Yun's expression changed slightly.
In that instant, he calculated that if he continued to twist Zhong Nan's neck, he would have no time to dodge the shadow.
Although he was wearing protective gear, he couldn't activate it under these circumstances.
In other words, if that shadow were to strike him, he would likely be injured.
Moreover, it was a serious injury.
Because he sensed the immense power within that hidden force.
The figure rushing up... was actually a martial arts master.
Lin Yun had already assessed the opponent's strength.
In that critical moment, Lin Yun made a decision immediately. He leaned back to avoid the shadow, and at the same time, he abandoned his plan to break Zhong Nan's neck.
However, Lin Yun did not let Zhong Nan off the hook.
With a flick of his toe, he kicked Zhong Nan's dantian (lower abdomen).
"Bang--"
The next moment, Zhong Nan's body was kicked away.
"ah--"
In mid-air, Zhong Nan screamed loudly, his whole body arching upwards.
