Soon, Zhong Nan and the three Bajiquan disciples all knew what was happening.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated that Lin Yi was Lin Yun from Qingyun Company, it's highly likely that he is.
At the scene, a powerful expert at the Innate Realm also arrived. This expert was there to deal with Lin Yun.
Zhong Nan and the three Bajiquan disciples were all stunned.
"So what if he is Lin Yun of Qingyun Company? A legendary expert at the Innate Realm has come to deal with him. He is doomed this time..." Soon, Zhong Nan's expression changed constantly, and finally, he said with a ferocious look.
"My dantian is ruined, haha, he actually ruined my dantian, making it impossible for me to cultivate martial arts anymore. I had already cultivated to the level of internal strength, and now, a master of the innate realm has come to deal with him. This is retribution, haha, heaven is still on my side..." Zhong Nan suddenly looked up at Lin Yun on the arena, his expression somewhat crazed.
"Smack—"
Before Zhong Nan could finish speaking, Qin Daoming slapped him across the face again, angrily saying, "What do you know? Lin Yun of Qingyun Company isn't powerful because of his own strength, but because of the power behind him, the firearms they possess, and other high-tech equipment. Even if something happens to Lin Yun, his power won't collapse. If Lin Yun is killed, you, me, the Bajiquan Sect, and your Zhong family will all face annihilation..."
Normally, Qin Daoming wouldn't be this angry over other matters. After all, he is a martial arts master and has a certain level of self-restraint. However, this time he is facing a life-or-death crisis, and because of Zhong Nan and him, the Bajiquan sect is likely to face annihilation.
These things made it impossible for him to remain calm.
However, Zhong Nan's words did give Qin Daoming a glimmer of hope.
Indeed, this whole affair stemmed from a conflict between Lin Yun and them. If something had happened to Lin Yun, or if the Heavenly Group had targeted the forces behind Lin Yun so severely that they wouldn't have had the energy to attend to other matters, they might have been fine.
On the other side, Wei Donglai's brow furrowed, and he also thought of this.
Let's not talk about this side.
On the other side, Zhang Haoran, Zhang Wentian, Zhu Haoran, the members of the Seven Wounds Sect, and Jiang Wei, who had previously provoked Lin Yun, were all stunned by the discussions around them...
"Lin Yun from Qingyun Company, he's actually Lin Yun from Qingyun Company..."
Some of them kept muttering to themselves.
Zhang Haoran was extremely excited. He had told Lin Yun that Lin Yun of Qingyun Company was his idol. Now, he learned that Lin Yi, a friend he had met and gotten along well with these past few days, was actually his idol Lin Yun. How could he not be excited?
However, he then became very worried.
Now, a powerful expert at the Innate Realm has come to deal with Lin Yun. Will Lin Yun be in danger?
"No wonder he was so nonchalant about taking a martial arts grandmaster as his master. It turns out it's not just because he's strong, but also because he has many martial arts grandmasters under his command... No wonder he drank Qingyun Supreme so casually. It turns out he owns the Qingyun Hotel and Qingyun Restaurant. I even gave him two bottles of Qingyun Supreme before, which was just showing off my limited skills. And afterwards, I even thought so much about him..."
Zhu Haoran said with shame.
“Right, Lin Yi, no, Lin Yun told me earlier that he left two bottles of wine in my room. Could it be the Azure Cloud Supreme?” Just then, Zhu Haoran thought of something else.
At the time, he thought the two bottles of wine Lin Yun had left in his room were ordinary wines, at most a little more precious. So, he just remembered the matter and didn't rush to look at them. Now it seems that those two bottles of wine are very likely not ordinary at all.
However, Zhu Haoran quickly stopped thinking about it and began to worry about Lin Yun's safety as well.
"So, my son actually knows such a person. However, it seems that this may not be a good thing..." Zhang Wentian sighed slightly and said.
He also felt worried, not only about Lin Yun's safety, but also about his son's safety.
The Heavenly Group actually sent a legendary expert at the Innate Realm to deal with Lin Yun. If something happens to Lin Yun, and his son is on good terms with the expert, who dares to say that he won't be affected?
However, he did not blame his son for this. In his opinion, Lin Yun was indeed a remarkable person, and it was his son's good fortune to befriend such a person.
As for whether I will be implicated in the future, that's fate.
"I'm doomed, I'm doomed. I've offended Lin Yun of Qingyun Company... Those who offend Qingyun will be punished no matter how far away they are. I've heard that some big family scions who offended Qingyun Company couldn't escape even if they fled abroad. Do I still have a chance to live?" Jiang Wei murmured, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face was pale.
At this moment, he truly hated his own chatter. The saying "trouble comes from the mouth" is absolutely true. Why did he have to be so talkative back then?
Beside Jiang Wei, the young man in his early thirties shook his head slightly.
Jiang Wei had been watching Lin Yi's performance ever since he discovered Lin Yun's strength. He thought to himself, "If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
However, just as the young man was thinking this, his body paused slightly.
He recalled that when Jiang Wei left, he had said something to Lin Yun that he wasn't sure if it was offensive. That sentence... it shouldn't be considered offensive, right? He wondered if Lin Yun had taken it to heart.
Thinking this, the young man smiled bitterly to himself; sure enough, he hadn't done well either.
"Those who offend Qingyun, though far away, shall be punished! We are the Seven Wounds Sect! We are the Seven Wounds Sect..."
"Senior Brother, he actually wants to challenge Lin Tian of Qingyun Company, this is really... what should we do... I heard that he killed dozens of martial arts grandmasters cleanly and efficiently, those are dozens of martial arts grandmasters..."
Everyone in the Seven Wounds Sect, including the higher-ups, felt a chill in their hearts.
...
Those who had offended Lin Yun felt cold, panicked, and angry, but they also mostly held a sliver of hope that Lin Yun would perish in this incident.
Then, they might be able to survive.
On the arena.
Lin Yun and Taiyi stood facing each other.
"Have you thought it through?" Taiyi asked calmly at that moment.
"Alliance Leader Zhang, I wonder if what you said earlier still holds true?" Lin Yun turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiankun, who was not far from Taiyi, and asked.
"Huh?" Zhang Qiankun was taken aback.
Soon, he remembered what he had told Lin Yun: as long as Lin Yun did not do anything that violated the rules of the martial arts tournament, and as long as Lin Yun was still in the tournament, no one would cause trouble for Lin Yun.
Outside the martial arts tournament's life-or-death arena, no physical conflict is allowed; this is also a rule of the martial arts tournament.
Thinking this, Zhang Qiankun frowned slightly.
Now, things are getting complicated.
He would dare to make this rule even if a grandmaster at the peak of the Transformation Realm came.
However, this time a legendary expert at the Innate Realm has come, and he is also representing the official Heavenly Group. How can ordinary rules restrain him?
However, if Taiyi were to take Lin Yun away in front of everyone, the credibility of their martial arts tournament would likely suffer greatly.
“Senior Taiyi, you should know the rules of the martial arts tournament. What you are doing is probably not a good idea…” Zhang Qiankun thought for a moment, then looked at Taiyi with great difficulty.
"Official laws supersede all other rules. What do you think, Alliance Leader Zhang? Or do you believe that the rules of this martial arts tournament have already exceeded the bounds of national law?" Taiyi said coldly.
The country has already provided many preferential treatments to these martial artists in various aspects. For example, the life-or-death arena of the martial arts tournament is against the rules, and so on. Now, the other party is actually asking the national law to give way to the rules of the martial arts tournament. Isn't this going too far?
“This…” Zhang Qiankun regretted it.
He hadn't expected Taiyi to speak so directly, so harshly, and so disrespectfully. If he had known, he wouldn't have said that.
"Since that's the case, Alliance Leader Zhang, I don't want to make things difficult for the Martial Arts Tournament. These two friends have already stated that they have no objection to me sitting in the first seat. So, there shouldn't be any problem with me being number one in this Rookie Competition. Now, does the prize for first place in this Rookie Competition belong to me?" Lin Yun said at this moment.
"A prize?" Zhang Qiankun was taken aback again upon hearing Lin Yun's words.
He didn't expect that at this moment, Lin Yun would bring up the prize for first place in this rookie competition, showing no concern for his own safety whatsoever.
Originally, Zhang Qiankun was somewhat reluctant to part with the prize, but seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Lin Yun is already confident in his own safety?
This is very likely...
Lin Yun's current tone and language seem to indicate that he came to participate in this rookie competition for the prize, so it's not impossible that he made various preparations in advance!
Taiyi is a powerful expert at the Innate Realm... If Lin Yun is confident...
Therefore, the forces that Lin Yun deployed are probably not weak either.
In that case, he really couldn't keep the prize for first place in this rookie competition.
"Of course, you're now the number one winner of the Rookie Competition, so the prize for first place is yours too..."
Thinking this, Zhang Qiankun nodded repeatedly.
"That's good. Is it alright for me to take the first prize now?" Lin Yun nodded.
“No problem,” Zhang Qiankun nodded.
Lin Yun's words just now gave him a vague idea of what Lin Yun meant. At this moment, he couldn't wait for Lin Yun to take the first prize and leave quickly, or give Taiyi an explanation.
Hearing Zhang Qiankun's approval, Lin Yun nodded slightly and walked towards the first-place prize box.
Seeing this, Taiichi did not stop it.
Lin Yun wasn't the only one who committed the crime last time; arresting only Lin Yun wasn't his goal.
Judging from Lin Yun's current behavior, he seemed quite confident. He wanted to see what Lin Yun's confidence was based on.
Ideally, we should lure out some more people so he can capture them all at once.
As for those firearms?
Hehe, if Lin Yun and his group think that those firearms can deal with him, they are mistaken.
He had already heard descriptions of those firearms and had a general idea of what they looked like. They could be very effective against experts at the peak of the Transformation Realm.
However, it's not so effective against experts at the Innate Realm...
With firearms ineffective, even if a martial artist at the early stage of Dark Force is comparable to the early stage of Transformation Force, plus nine or a dozen martial artists at the early stage of Transformation Force, their strength is utterly insignificant to him.
The Innate Realm is a very powerful realm, beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists.
"Level 3 spiritual item obtained..."
Soon, Lin Yun received the box containing the first prize for the Rookie Competition. He sensed the high level of spirituality within it and sighed inwardly.
Now, he can take the box to the trading space at any time.
A Level 2 spiritual being can sell for at least a little over a thousand spiritual crystals on the cosmic trading system.
On the cosmic trading system, a level 3 spiritual being can sell for at least ten thousand spiritual crystals.
Ten thousand spirit crystals can buy a robot with the strength of the early stage of the Innate Realm.
Just obtaining this level-three spiritual item makes his trip worthwhile.
"Buzz—"
The moment Lin Yun received the box, he sensed a soft chime emanating from it.
That's the sound of a sword vibrating.
"Hmm? It really does have a spiritual quality?"
Lin Yun was slightly surprised.
He wasn't referring to mere spirituality, but rather to wisdom.
He had seen intelligent spirits before, such as Xiaobai and Xiaolan from the Sanqing Palace. Although they were only level one spirits, their intelligence was quite high.
However, later on, he lost the spirituality and wisdom he had gained; he only had instincts.
Unexpectedly, this level-three spiritual being possessed a trace of wisdom.
Lin Yun's mental strength is now very strong. He can vaguely sense that the item in the box has a trace of intelligence and is sending a message.
"So, this sword is called Azure Kite. It possesses the ability to intimidate a person's soul. Its power varies depending on the user's strength. If the user is powerful, it can even cause weaker martial artists to experience a slight pause in their movements. No wonder this sword allows one to easily fight opponents of higher levels, even grandmasters at the Transformation Realm..."
Lin Yun thought to himself.
In martial arts battles, especially between strong individuals, a single loss can lead to a series of losses. If one's soul is suddenly shaken, even a martial arts master at the Transformation Realm will find it very difficult to cope!
Lin Yun knew that in the early stages of martial arts cultivation, a martial artist's soul didn't become much stronger. At most, because of the strength of their body, their ability to defend against attacks on the soul was stronger!
For example, his mental strength must be raised to level one, and he must learn some mental strength skills before he can deal with Ming Jin martial artists.
He needs to raise his mental strength to level two and learn some mental strength skills before he can deal with a martial artist with hidden strength.
He needs to raise his mental strength to level three and learn some mental strength skills before he can deal with a martial artist who has reached the Transformation Realm.
If his mental strength is insufficient, it will not be very effective, or if he has not learned some mental strength skills, the effect will be very limited.
Level three spirituality, absorbing and refining spiritual power... In fact, it has already reached level three. For some reason, this sword contains a kind of spiritual power attack skill, which is why it has this magical power.
This power is sufficient to deal with martial artists at the Transformation Realm.
However, in the Innate Realm, Yin and Yang are in harmony, and the soul undergoes a transformation, at which point a martial artist's soul truly becomes powerful. It is said that the highest level can be raised to four, but such martial artists are rare, though reaching three is generally not a problem.
Once a martial artist at the Innate Realm reaches level four in their spiritual soul, even if Lin Yun's spiritual power is raised to level four and he learns spiritual power skills of the same level, it won't have much effect.
When the body and soul reach the fourth level together, the spirit and qi unite, the qi and strength unite, and the heaven and man are one. In a sense, this represents a kind of perfection.
The mental strength must reach level five, and a mental strength skill of the same level must be learned for it to be effective.
