The Martial God had no confidence in his heart either. Back when he and Lin Yun had fought side by side in the border mountains, he knew Lin Yun was extremely powerful, but at that time Lin Yun was still only in the Sacred Realm.
“Reaching the Harmony Dao Realm in less than ten thousand years and already wanting to participate in the Pinnacle Competition. This is not confidence. It is overconfidence.” Lord Feiying Jin shook his head with a smile.
In the air.
Lin Yun arrived directly in front of Ge Hongtu. The two faced each other in the sky.
“You are very confident. How could I, Ge Hongtu, be any less confident? Even though I do not yet know your exact strength, I am equally sure I can defeat you!” Ge Hongtu said with a confident smile.
“As cultivators, no one yields to another. This is normal. As for who wins and who loses, we will know soon enough.” Lin Yun smiled.
Lin Yun was actually quite looking forward to this battle.
After such a long seclusion, he had not yet tested the results in actual combat.
This fight would be a good warm-up for Lin Yun.
Although Lin Yun did not yet know Ge Hongtu’s true strength, as Lord Feiying Jin’s chief disciple, he must be among the outstanding ones in the Harmony Dao Realm.
“My apologies in advance.” Lin Yun cupped his fists towards Ge Hongtu.
“Rest assured. Since you are my junior brother’s friend, I will hold back. Defeating you will be enough.” Ge Hongtu, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, smiled.
After speaking, Ge Hongtu directly revealed a treasure sword.
This was a Great Luo Heavenly Soldier level treasure sword.
Very few Void Dao Realm cultivators could wield weapons of this level.
However, as the chief disciple of a Supreme like Lord Feiying Jin, it was not surprising that Ge Hongtu could use such a weapon.
Lord Feiying Jin had not founded a sect or taken many disciples widely. He could devote many resources to these two disciples, especially since Ge Hongtu had followed him for a very long time.
Part of Ge Hongtu’s confidence came from his weapon.
“Take this!”
“Feiying Swordsmanship, Sword Rain!”
Without further words, Ge Hongtu revealed his treasure sword and erupted with inner energy. He struck at Lin Yun with one sword. The sword transformed into a rain of swords in the air, pouring down towards Lin Yun like a violent storm.
“Feiying Swordsmanship, Sword Rain!”
Lin Yun quickly revealed his own weapon and used the same move, striking upwards with one sword.
Boom!
When the two attacks collided, Ge Hongtu’s attack was instantly shattered by Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had not used too many techniques. He had merely erupted with inner energy combined with swordsmanship, but his inner energy had been strengthened by the Tree of Origin within his body!
Thus, at the same realm, using the same swordsmanship and weapons of the same grade, Lin Yun’s inner energy was considerably stronger than Ge Hongtu’s.
“Not too bad, as expected.” Ge Hongtu said.
Both had only been probing with their previous moves.
Ge Hongtu had not used many techniques, but in his view, relying on his Great Luo Heavenly Soldier and Feiying Swordsmanship, weaker Harmony Dao Realm experts would struggle to withstand his earlier attack. Yet Lin Yun had broken it instead.
In front of the great hall.
“This fellow has already mastered the sixth level of the Feiying Sword Art, ‘Sword Rain’. He has completed the foundational section. For someone so young to finish the basics, his talent in swordsmanship is decent.” Lord Feiying Jin watched Lin Yun in the sky.
“Then, Master, are you willing to guide him?” The Martial God asked expectantly.
“Your master said that if he can defeat Ge Hongtu, I will guide him. If he cannot, there is nothing to discuss.” Lord Feiying Jin said.
In the air.
Lin Yun looked at his opponent and said, “Such probing attacks are truly unnecessary. Let us use something more powerful directly.”
“Hmph, quite bold words. I was afraid an all-out attack would be too fierce and seriously injure you in one move. Since you want to see my true ability, I will oblige!”
“Feiying Swordsmanship, Swift Thunder!”
Ge Hongtu’s treasure sword carried a ferocious aura as he struck towards Lin Yun. Thunder and lightning flashed where it passed.
This time, Ge Hongtu also erupted with his divine sense, physical body strength, and other techniques.
“Sword Rain!”
Lin Yun swept out with one sword. His ninth-tier Primordial Return level divine sense and late-stage Saint Body power erupted abruptly, merging into the sword.
The sword light transformed into thunder, sweeping out like a storm and fiercely charging towards Ge Hongtu.
Boom!
Lin Yun’s attack once again instantly shattered Ge Hongtu’s attack and continued bombarding towards him!
“What?!”
Ge Hongtu’s expression changed drastically. He quickly condensed another attack.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under this single sword from Lin Yun, Ge Hongtu’s successive attacks were all shattered. Lin Yun forced him into constant retreat.
