If Lin Yun wanted to compete for the championship in the Pinnacle Competition, he would need to be invincible among those in the Harmony Dao Realm. That meant no matter how strong the opponent in the Harmony Dao Realm was, Lin Yun had to be able to defeat them.
Even without knowing the strength of this senior brother, if Lin Yun lacked confidence in victory here, then there would be no point in participating in the Pinnacle Competition at all.
After leaving the great hall.
“Martial God, go and summon your senior brother to the hall.” Lord Feiying Jin turned and instructed.
“Yes, Master.” The Martial God responded and quickly went off.
Lord Feiying Jin had sent the Martial God to fetch the person because he wanted to speak with Lin Yun alone for a moment.
After the Martial God left.
Lord Feiying Jin looked at Lin Yun. “Do you know why this lord was willing to let you in?”
“Because of the Martial God’s help.” Lin Yun said.
“He kowtowed in the hall for a full ten days to beg this lord to meet you, until his forehead was broken and bleeding. If this lord had not agreed, with his personality, he probably would have kept kowtowing until he died in the hall.” Lord Feiying Jin gazed ahead.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun’s heart trembled fiercely.
Lin Yun knew he had waited outside for a full ten days, so the Martial God’s request for Lord Feiying Jin to guide him must not have gone smoothly.
But Lin Yun had never imagined the Martial God would go that far.
This deeply moved Lin Yun. The Martial God was truly a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.
This favour, Lin Yun also committed to heart.
“Before Ge Hongtu arrives, this lord wants to hear your reason for wishing to learn and improve your swordsmanship. Explain it.” Lord Feiying Jin said.
“Because of my thirst for swordsmanship. Of course, there is another reason. I wish to participate in the Pinnacle Competition in three thousand years. I know seizing the championship there is extremely difficult, so I must improve my strength all the more, including my swordsmanship.” Lin Yun said.
“Oh? You wish to participate in the Pinnacle Competition? And aim for the championship?” A trace of surprise appeared on Lord Feiying Jin’s otherwise calm expression.
“Exactly!” Lin Yun answered firmly.
Lord Feiying Jin quickly regained his composure. “Your goal is quite ambitious. My disciple said you belong neither to the six major forces nor the Dao Alliance. They are the favourites to win. What do you have to compete with them? Young man, this lord feels you are overly confident in yourself. To put it bluntly, you are overestimating your abilities.”
“Of course, with strength.” Lin Yun replied without hesitation.
This answer made Lord Feiying Jin laugh.
“With strength? Haha, indeed. To win the championship, one can only rely on strength. But it is not something ordinary strength can achieve.”
Immediately after, Lord Feiying Jin changed his tone. “In that case, I am even more curious about your strength. This lord wishes to see if your strength matches this confidence of yours! If you cannot even defeat my disciple Ge Hongtu, then this lord advises you not to participate and invite humiliation upon yourself.”
Although Lord Feiying Jin did not yet know Lin Yun’s strength, he understood how difficult it was to win the Pinnacle Competition. For Lin Yun to casually set such a goal immediately convinced Lord Feiying Jin even more that Lin Yun was an arrogant and overconfident fellow who overestimated himself.
At that moment, the Martial God arrived with his senior brother Ge Hongtu.
“Master.” Ge Hongtu bowed to Lord Feiying Jin.
“Geelaars Hongtu, you and he are both in the Harmony Dao Realm. Fight him. This fellow said earlier that defeating you would not be difficult. Let him see your prowess and defeat him.” Lord Feiying Jin said with his hands behind his back.
“So arrogant?”
Ge Hongtu turned his gaze to Lin Yun. “Then I, Ge Hongtu, will see what capital you have to be so arrogant!”
Lin Yun smiled wryly. “I mean no offence. I simply have some confidence in my own strength. I only wish to obtain guidance from Senior Lord Feiying Jin.”
“Fight in the sky.” Lord Feiying Jin said.
Upon hearing this, Ge Hongtu directly flew into the air in front of the hall, towards the distant mountain peak.
“Martial God, I am going.”
Lin Yun turned back to say a word to the Martial God before soaring into the sky as well.
“Martial God, you are friends with him, so you must have some understanding of his strength. Do you think he can win against your senior brother?” Lord Feiying Jin looked at the Martial God.
“This… your disciple cannot say for certain. But your disciple knows that the time he has been in the Harmony Dao Realm is probably less than ten thousand years. When your disciple first met him, he was still in the Sacred Realm, while senior brother has been in the Harmony Dao Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. The gap from accumulated time is vast.” The Martial God said.
