If a battle between Lin Yun and Lin Mengmeng of this caliber were still taking place on a warship, there wouldn't be enough space.
Tianzhu Sacred Land, Martial Arts Arena.
The place where Lin Yun last fought Xing Lan.
It has been reinforced during this period and can now withstand battles against ordinary level eight cultivators. With Yue Yi and Yue Er taking care of it, it can withstand his battle with Lin Mengmeng without any problem.
"boom--"
After exchanging a few words with Lin Yun, Lin Mengmeng made the first move, and the battle began.
The two exchanged blows, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed.
Because of the significant difference in strength between the two sides, Lin Yun quickly gained a general understanding of Lin Mengmeng's strength, which was roughly equivalent to a late-stage Star Realm martial artist.
Even so, Xinglan was quite surprised.
He had never seen anyone around Lin Yun make a move before, and seeing it now shocked him.
Having just broken through to the Star Realm, she already possesses the strength of a typical late-stage Star Realm cultivator, and is not much weaker than him.
However, he has cultivated for over a thousand years and relied on the Cosmic Trading System to reach his current level, while the other party... according to his Cosmic Trading System's detection, is only in his early twenties.
Like Lin Yun, Lin Yun is only in his twenties!
"Really..." For a moment, Xinglan didn't know what to say.
He became even more certain that Lin Yun and his group were humans from an advanced civilization, or even a super civilization.
"I'm not playing anymore, the gap is too big..."
After hundreds of moves, Lin Mengmeng stopped fighting, pouted her little lips, and said in a very depressed tone, her beautiful face looking very cute.
"Yueyi, suppress your strength a bit, let's have a spar." Lin Yun smiled, and after Lin Mengmeng stepped off the stage, he looked at Yueyi and said.
"Yes, Master," Yueyi replied respectfully.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
"Bang—bang—bang—"
With each teleportation and each exchange of blows, the two moved so fast it was dazzling. Those with lower strength couldn't even see the specifics of the battle clearly, only able to discern the intensity of the fight from the constant attacks hitting the battle platform and the extent of its damage.
The battle platform could no longer withstand the fight between Lin Yun and Yue Yi. Fortunately, Yue Er was there to protect them, so as not to affect the people around them.
"Master's current strength is roughly equivalent to a martial artist in the late stage of the Nebula Realm."
Half an hour later, the two stopped fighting, and Yueyi pondered.
"Late stage of the Nebula Realm..."
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
They all knew that the late stage of the Nebula Realm was a late-stage eighth-level cultivator, and Lin Yun had just broken through to the Starry Sky Realm, yet he already possessed the strength of the late stage of the Nebula Realm.
"As expected, Lin Yun's current strength is already enough to fight against a late-stage level eight cultivator."
Xinglan nodded slightly.
When Lin Yun first broke through to the Golden Core Realm, he was able to fight against martial artists in the late Domain Realm.
Now, Lin Yun has just broken through to the Starry Sky Realm, and he can already fight against martial artists in the late stage of the Nebula Realm.
Lin Yun's ability to take on challenges beyond his level has not diminished at all, which is a very rare phenomenon.
Only Lin Yun knew that his ability to challenge opponents of higher levels had not deteriorated. This was because he had recently obtained some cultivation and martial arts techniques from those powerful figures in the Immortal Realm and Heavenly Realm. He learned a lot from them and then carefully organized and refined what he had learned, which is why he maintained such a strong ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.
However, this data made Lin Mengmeng even more depressed.
This means that there is still a huge gap between her and Lin Yun.
“Now, my cultivation speed has surpassed yours, and I will definitely catch up with you.” Lin Mengmeng clenched her pink little fist and huffed.
...
Inside a room on a black warship, on a large bed.
Breathing could be heard from beneath a luxurious brocade quilt.
After their lovemaking, Xia Qingqing, her hair still damp, leaned against Lin Yun's chest and chuckled, "Mengmeng said she was determined to catch up with you today..."
"Jealous?" Lin Yun asked with a smile.
"No, not at all." Xia Qingqing's face flushed slightly as she shook her head.
Although she did feel a little bitter, she would never admit it.
“Mengmeng’s talent for martial arts is indeed very high. She has already broken through to the Starry Sky Realm, while the highest that others have reached is only the late stage of the Domain Realm. Each major breakthrough is a hurdle. If they reach the peak of the Domain Realm, who knows how long they will be stuck there. As for me, I have only just broken through to the early stage of the Domain Realm…”
Xia Qingqing said in a low voice.
“You are different from her. She has practiced martial arts since childhood and has a deep understanding of martial arts. You have no foundation in martial arts. It is already very good that you were able to break through to the early stage of the Domain Realm so quickly.” Lin Yun shook his head and said.
“But what about Uncle Lin? Uncle Lin has practiced martial arts for decades. He taught Mengmeng her martial arts foundation. Isn’t his martial arts foundation much deeper? Right now, he’s only at the late stage of the Domain Realm.” Xia Qingqing shook her head and said.
“I’ve been using the Cosmic Trading System longer than Mengmeng, so we’re actually on roughly the same starting line,” Xia Qingqing sighed and said.
They started at roughly the same level. She had just broken through to the Domain Realm, while Lin Mengmeng had already broken through to the Starry Sky Realm. The difference in their martial arts talents was vast, a fact she had to acknowledge.
"Don't overthink it. Everyone has different strengths. Mengmeng cultivates quickly, and you also have excellent management skills. You manage the food, clothing, and shelter of so many people quite well, don't you? You're my little housekeeper! If you really want to cultivate faster, I can also use the Cosmic Trading System to help you..." Lin Yun patted Xia Qingqing's head and chuckled.
This little girl overthinks things.
“You know how Mengmeng feels about you. You could actually marry her too… I really don’t mind…” Xia Qingqing bit her lip and whispered.
"Among those 180,000 men, there are many young and beautiful girls who have feelings for me. Am I supposed to marry them all?" Lin Yun said with amusement.
“It’s different, you know, it’s different. Back then, when you were injured, the Heavenly Group was looking for you. Mengmeng was not afraid of danger and searched all over the mountains and fields for you. She suffered a lot and was even captured by the Heavenly Group later…” Xia Qingqing shook her head and said.
Lin Yun remained silent.
“Your example is wrong. Girls will get married when they grow up. You may not care if some of those 180,000 girls get married, but would you not care if Mengmeng married someone else?” Xia Qingqing said after a pause.
Lin Yun frowned.
In his mind, the image of that beautiful, pure girl, like a fairy from heaven, appeared—some of her movements, some of her eyes, some of her actions…
Although the other party always acted nonchalantly, his mental strength was extremely powerful, allowing him to sense many emotions. How could he not sense some of these emotions?
If she marries someone else, would I really not care?
Lin Yun silently asked himself this question.
“After a girl gets married, her mindset will change. She may become wholeheartedly devoted to her husband. Mengmeng has excellent martial arts talent. In the future, if her strength really surpasses yours and she marries someone else, what will you do?” Xia Qingqing asked hesitantly.
Originally, she wanted Lin Yun to accept Lin Mengmeng because of her physical endurance and lifespan. Now, Lin Mengmeng's martial arts talent has been revealed, forcing her to consider another aspect.
Of course, Lin Mengmeng is her good friend, and she has always seen Lin Mengmeng's affection and dedication to Lin Yun, which is also a very important reason.
She desperately wanted to be selfish, but if she were to be selfish in this matter, she feared she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Now, their situation is different from before. Just considering their long lifespan, it would be too monotonous for her and Lin Yun to travel together, not to mention Lin Yun's status and position.
"How could you have thought of such a thing..." Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
As Xia Qingqing spoke, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Lin Mengmeng, if she married someone else, would wholeheartedly think of that person. He hadn't deeply hypnotized Lin Mengmeng and others with loyalty, and such a thing was very likely to happen.
The thought of such a thing made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
How could I have such thoughts?
Could it be that he really likes Lin Mengmeng, wants to marry her, and doesn't want her to marry someone else?
Lin Yun felt depressed.
Lin Mengmeng is indeed quite nice... but he's been trying his best not to think about it that way!
Deep down, he is still quite traditional.
He already has Xia Qingqing and doesn't want to let her down.
But why does Xia Qingqing always lead him aside?
Does this little girl really want others to share her with her?
Or perhaps, Xia Qingqing doesn't love herself enough?
Suddenly, Lin Yun thought of this possibility, and his heart skipped a beat.
However, Lin Yun shook his head in an instant.
His powerful mental strength allowed him to sense that Xia Qingqing loved him deeply.
This kind of love goes far beyond the emotions many people have in this regard.
It was this powerful feeling that made him not want to let Xia Qingqing down.
How could I have thought that way?
Lin Yun felt guilty.
At this point, he had figured it out.
It's not that he didn't love her enough, but rather that he loved her too much, which is why Xia Qingqing was so considerate of him in every way.
"Little girl, stop thinking about all sorts of nonsense all day. If you put more effort into practicing martial arts, you might make greater progress." Lin Yun tapped Xia Qingqing's head and smiled.
"Don't worry, in this life, all I need is you..." Lin Yun said after a pause.
That inexplicable feeling made him decide to let go, but Xia Qingqing's deep love made him cherish this girl even more.
When I was going through a tough time, this girl stayed by my side. Now that I've made my choice, how can I let her down?
Even if Lin Mengmeng surpasses him in strength in the future, she will not stop him from making any choice he makes.
However, before Lin Yun could finish speaking, Xia Qingqing covered Lin Yun's lips with her small hand.
"I don't need your promises, I just want to stay by your side. No matter what happens to you in the future, I just hope you won't abandon me or ignore me." Xia Qingqing gently placed her delicate hand on Lin Yun's chest and whispered.
The words, though extremely humble, sent a shiver down Lin Yun's spine.
