Chapter 34 - Fighting against Zhou Tong
Outside the Ninth Peak, on a hidden ancient tree in the sky.
”That young man's speed is so fast. I never thought that our sect would have such a monstrous talent. But he is only a candidate disciple. That kind of speed, even if I used all my strength, I still would not be able to reach this level!”
A sweet looking female disciple dressed in high ranking disciple uniform exclaimed. She had just seen the instant Lin Jingyu was about to use the Solitary Hong Ruo Ying Steps.
”It is indeed astonishingly fast. I'm afraid only Eldest Brother would be able to reach such a speed.”
A male disciple revealed a look of interest, at the same time, he also exclaimed softly. He was sighing extremely, the ”Big Senior” that he spoke of was naturally none other than Wu Junshan's direct disciple, Li Yang. At this moment, he was accompanying Wu Shu by his side.
”Hehe, even you think that this young man is only a candidate disciple?” The dark-skinned Ta Luo smiled meaningfully. Seeing the puzzled gazes of his companions, he immediately said, ”I heard that a monster appeared in the sect three years ago …”
”Un, demon? How many demons are there? ” Wearing a red dress, the slightly petite Jiang Yan could not help but ask.
”Twelve years old, seventh stage of the gallbladder!”
Ta Luo revealed a serious look, and said slowly.
Hiss!
Many people took in a breath of cold air. Twelve years old, seventh stage of the gallbladder! This strength was indeed monstrous, many of the present were outstanding talents, youths with extraordinary statuses, but they had to admit, this level of talent was not something they could compare to. More than a dozen figures' gazes congealed in an instant, they thought, this level of talent, perhaps only their ”Junior Sister”, the Sect Leader's daughter, Wu Shu, could compare to it.
”Senior brother Ta Luo, I have heard about this before, although that young man has outstanding talent and is a heaven's pride expert, he is morally corrupt and has a wicked heart. He once tried to steal the supreme martial arts of the sect, the Wu Xuan secret manual, but he failed to steal it and even trained in the ways of the evil, but in the end, he fell into Qi deviation and his cultivation became crippled. Even if he grows up in the future, he will probably become the root of disaster for the entire martial arts continent.
Hearing this, a somewhat feminine looking young man stood up and angrily said. This person was wearing a black robe, and most of his face was covered by a black hat. His two arms were engraved with two scorpion-like patterns.
This scorpion pattern was not an ordinary pattern, but a symbol of the martial spirit. This martial spirit was called the Eight-winged Demon Horn Scorpion, and it had extremely strong combat power!
Many people let out a low sigh of pity. In the world of martial artists, although strength was respected, if one's heart was filled with evil thoughts and did evil deeds, then that person would be viewed as the enemy of all martial artists on the continent! If such a person was allowed to live, it would be a disaster!
”Moral corruption? And they even tried to steal the Wu Xuan secret manual? How could I not know about this, Huo Dou, where did you hear this rumor from? ” Ta Luo's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, he looked at the youth with the evil scorpion tattoo on his arm and said.
”Senior Brother Ta Luo, are you doubting me?” The tattooed disciple Huo Dou frowned and said.
”No, it's just that I haven't heard about it before, so I can't help but be a little surprised. Please forgive me, Junior Huo.” Ta Luo said.
”Senior Brother Ta Luo, we were just discussing about the extraordinary young man in blue. How could you suddenly mention the past of our sect? ”Could it be …” The sweet-looking girl from before paused for a moment, seeming to have thought of something, and couldn't help herself from saying, ”Could it be that the blue clothed youth on the scene is the demon of the sect three years ago?”
”Yes, as far as I know, that's right.” Ta Luo nodded.
The others were somewhat stunned when they heard this. They were startled because they did not expect the situation to be like this.
”Little Junior Brother, is he the freak from three years ago?” Wearing a white robe, Tang Lu blinked his eyes in disbelief.
”Lin Jingyu has gone on stage thirty-eight times in total, and all thirty-eight matches have been won!”
”Zhou Tong has gone up on stage thirty-nine times. Other than the match with Zhao Ziyang where he was completely crushed, the other thirty-eight matches are all victorious without exception!”
”If I recall correctly, Lin Jingyu and Zhou Tong have the highest winning rate, excluding Zhao Ziyang!”
”I wonder which one of them will be stronger?” Logically speaking, although Lin Jingyu could use his speed advantage to defeat Luo Yuanyuan, Zhou Tong was clearly different. He is a power-type participant, if it was purely based on speed, it would be difficult for him to win … ”
At the bottom of the arena, a male disciple was clearly analyzing the battle situation with his partner.
”I also know that Zhou Tong is indeed very powerful, but so what? It's because Zhao Ziyang can't even take a single round! ” One of the female disciples standing beside the male disciple turned his head and spoke in a daze: ”That's right, Zhou Tong is very strong, but, don't forget, in the first two tests, Zhou Tong and Zhao Ziyang were defeated by Lin Jingyu!”
”And most importantly... Lin Jingyu is really handsome! ”
Looking at the female disciples who were about to yell out, the two male disciples' foreheads were immediately covered in dense black lines …
Field # 33
Lin Jingyu and Zhou Tong stood facing each other.
”Surnamed Lin, even though you are able to defeat Luo Yuanyuan, that does not mean that you can also defeat me!”
Zhou Tong laughed. Just now, he suffered a lot from Zhao Ziyang, and now, he was up against Lin Jingyu again. However, just like Luo Yuanyuan, he did not think much of the latter.
From his point of view, the fact that Lin Jingyu had been able to be so ahead of them in the first two tests showed that he had wasted too much time in training his spirit power and resisting pressure. That was why he had such terrifying results.
However, this also meant that Lin Jingyu's cultivation in the other three aspects of a martial artist's attribute was much weaker, because a martial artist's own energy and resources were limited. In his opinion, it was impossible for Lin Jingyu to take into account all five aspects of cultivation at the same time.
And his advantage lay in strength!
This was the first attribute of a martial artist!
He believed that strength was the opponent's weakness.
Using this advantage, defeating the opponent wouldn't be a problem.
As long as he defeated Lin Jingyu, he would basically be able to lock in the title of second place among the new disciples. Although he wouldn't be able to get the lead representative, he had basically reached his desired goal.
After all, in his opinion, Zhao Ziyang was very strong. It wouldn't be shameful if she lost to him.
He knew how powerful Zhao Ziyang was, so before he fought with Zhao Ziyang, he had a plan in his mind. If Zhao Ziyang's strength exceeded his expectations, he would conserve his strength to deal with the upcoming battles and obtain the second place!
Earlier, the reason why his battle with Zhao Ziyang was so short was because he had just exchanged blows with Zhao Ziyang, and knew that the opponent's strength was much stronger than his before, so he could not predict the result of the match. As a result, he decided to give up on fighting with his, and chose to give up instead.
He was very confident in Lin Jingyu. He felt that, of the disciples that he would be able to choose, only Zhao Ziyang would be able to defeat him. However, he and Luo Yuanyuan had clearly made the same mistake.
First, he had underestimated Lin Jingyu.
Second, he had overestimated himself.
”Why don't you give it a try and see if I'm stronger than you?”
Lin Jingyu laughed.
His laughter was somewhat savage, and it made one want to hit him!
”You're courting death!”
Zhou Tong's gaze suddenly focused. With a step backwards, he shot forward like an arrow, and his entire person instantly transformed into a cannonball, flying towards Lin Jingyu with incomparable speed!
At this moment, there were five soul fragments of refined qi flying above his head.
The huge fist shuttled through the air, and one could faintly hear the terrifying sound of the air being torn apart.
Fifth stage of the Aura Realm!
The strength of 2400 jins of giant rock exploded forth! Huge fist lights and formless energy swept across the entire area, almost becoming the most dazzling existence in this world.
”Zhou Tong's' Cannon Fist 'is here, I wonder if Lin Jingyu can withstand it?”
”How is this possible? Lin Jingyu would probably dodge, since he has the advantage in speed after all, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to avoid it easily! ”
”Look, Lin Jingyu doesn't seem to have any intention of dodging!”
”Could it be that he wants to take this punch head on? How is this possible!? The strength of this punch was close to the strength of two thousand four hundred Jin of giant boulders! Even warriors at the sixth stage of the Aura Realm would choose to avoid its blade! ”
Just as everyone was discussing amongst themselves, Zhou Tong was merely three feet away from Lin Jingyu. It seemed that it was too late for the latter to dodge!
However, the people below the stage could not understand why Lin Jingyu would make such a 'irrational' decision.
Zhou Tong who was rushing over, upon seeing that the other party was like a foolish deer that did not dodge, suddenly felt pleased with himself. The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised into a curve.
At this moment, the scene of his victory appeared in his mind!
However, when the formless energy aura pounced over, Lin Jingyu remained calm and slightly squinted his eyes. He was really planning to take Zhou Tong's fierce punch head on!
”Speaking of which, the competition has only just started. Is it going to be a little challenging?”
With a slight grin, Lin Jingyu's aura suddenly changed. His eyes congealed, and under everyone's astonished gaze, he made a gesture that made everyone feel as if they knew his.
It was yet another fucking horse stance!
Countless disciples in the audience had their mouths wide open, their faces full of astonishment!
Lin Jingyu did not dodge nor face the attack head on. Instead, he took an extremely standard horse stance!
His back was ramrod straight!
He was as steady as Mt. Tai!
Unmoving like a pine!
In that split-second, Lin Jingyu spread open his right hand, and welcomed the attack with a palm!
”Boom!”
