"Hehe, you flatter me!"
Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting to the two men, chuckled softly, and then looked up at the tightly closed bronze gate on the north side of the main hall.
Behind that gate, the second round of competition will take place. I wonder who the new opponent will be?
Chapter 145 Victory Without a Fight, the Final Opponent! [Please Read On]
On the north side of the enormous palace, atop a high wall, Mo Jingtian, Lin Fan, and many other leaders of various forces gathered.
Not far ahead of them was a field that connected to the palace. There were five passageways in total. Those who could walk out of these five passageways would be selected for this seed selection.
Above the high walls, there were beams of light that flashed, showing the various situations inside the palace, where figures moved about and engaged in extremely fierce battles.
Lin Fan and the others stared intently at the light screen, their expressions showing some tension.
"Lin Yi's strength is truly well-deserved. He defeated two opponents in a single move," a faction leader exclaimed in amazement as he watched Lin Yi's battle on the screen.
"Haha, congratulations, Brother Lin Fan! It seems that Lin Yi, a nobleman, is the first to enter the second round," some leaders of forces who had a good relationship with the Lin clan also congratulated Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and returned the greetings one by one, showing great satisfaction with Lin Yi's performance.
There are still two rounds left, hopefully Lin Yi can successfully secure a spot...
Lin Fan stared at the light screen, secretly anticipating what was to come.
……
"Crench!"
Inside the main hall, after the two opponents conceded defeat, the tightly closed bronze gate on the north side of the hall slowly opened.
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not hesitate at all and stepped into it.
Beyond the bronze gate was another long, dark passage. Lin Yi walked through it for several minutes before light finally emanated from the end of the passage.
Lin Yi slowly walked along the path of light, and what appeared before him was a giant hall that was twice the size of the previous one. Inside the hall, there were huge stone pillars that looked like pillars supporting the sky.
Lin Yi used his spiritual power to sense the area and found that there was no one else in the hall.
Lin Yi casually found an open space, sat cross-legged, and quietly waited for his next opponent to appear.
"Tap!"
About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard from another passage leading to this place.
Upon hearing the noise, Lin Yi immediately stood up and looked toward the dark passage.
Before long, a handsome young man dressed in a blue shirt, holding a dark blue feather fan, slowly walked over, exuding an aristocratic elegance.
"Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance," Lin Yi smiled slightly, recognizing the person at a glance as Qin Shi from the Qin clan.
Qin Shi's cultivation level has improved considerably compared to when he was in the tomb, but he is still only at the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm.
It seems that his two opponents are not particularly strong.
At the same time Lin Yi recognized Qin Shi, Qin Shi also recognized Lin Yi. His expression changed slightly, and his elegant aura vanished instantly.
"Brother Lin Yi, what a coincidence," Qin Shi cupped his hands to Lin Yi, forcing a smile.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, "It is quite a coincidence, Brother Qin, let's begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi suddenly released the aura of a master at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Lin Yi, Qin Shi's expression stiffened slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he clasped his hands and said, "Brother Lin Yi, I am far inferior to you. I concede defeat in this battle."
Among the four major clans, the Qin clan is the weakest. Qin Shi is already the number one genius in the clan, but there is still a considerable gap between him and Lin Langtian, Wang Zhong and others.
Qin Shi was already extremely wary of Lin Yi, and after learning that Lin Langtian had died at Lin Yi's hands, he lost all desire to compete with Lin Yi.
Qin Shi had a good attitude. Originally, he didn't have high hopes when he came to participate in the seed selection, and just regarded it as a training experience.
However, facing a fierce person like Lin Yi, he felt it was best not to invite trouble upon himself.
"Then thank you for your modesty, Brother Qin," Lin Yi said with a smile, bowing in return. He hadn't expected Qin Shi to admit defeat so readily.
Immediately, Lin Yi walked slowly towards the corridor leading to the final round with unhurried steps.
At the end of that corridor stood a tightly closed golden door.
Lin Yi's palm struck the golden gate, seemingly without any power.
However, in the next instant, the golden gate exploded with a "bang," sending golden fragments flying everywhere, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Lin Yi stepped inside, and then his gaze instantly focused on the center of the hall.
Almost at the same time that Lin Yi entered the main hall, a figure exuding a sharp and domineering aura also came towards him.
This aura was even more powerful than Lin Langtian's at the Lin clan gathering!
This person was none other than Wang Zhong, the eldest brother of Wang Yan, the number one genius of the Wang clan!
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised to see Wang Zhong, as he remembered that in the original story, Wang Zhong did not choose this passage.
It seems that due to the absence of Lin Langtian and Lin Dong, some subtle changes have occurred in this seed selection process.
Wang Zhong and Lin Yi locked eyes, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze instantly.
"Lin Yi, your luck is very bad."
Wang Zhong strode to the center of the hall, staring at Lin Yi with a half-smile, and spoke indifferently.
Lin Yi's gaze was also fixed on Wang Zhong, and he calmly said, "It's hard to say who's just unlucky!"
……
On the high wall on the north side of the palace, many leaders of various forces were puzzled to see that Lin Yi's opponent was actually Wang Zhong.
Twenty years ago, the Lin clan was defeated by the Wang clan in this final round.
Twenty years later, the two families meet again at this very spot, a truly remarkable twist of fate!
"Haha, Lin Fan, it seems our Wang and Lin families are indeed sworn enemies! Lin Yi had good luck in the first two rounds, encountering weak opponents, but it seems his good luck has run out in the third round!"
Wang Lei of the Wang clan burst into laughter as he looked at the two figures appearing in the light screen.
Beside Wang Lei, Wang Yan's face also showed an undisguised look of surprise.
He stared at Lin Yi's figure in the light screen with a rather sinister look in his eyes. Lin Yi had successfully passed two rounds earlier, but it made him very unhappy.
However, this displeasure vanished immediately upon seeing the situation before him!
Wang Yan knew all too well how domineering his elder brother was!
"Damn it, let's see how arrogant you can be now!" Wang Yan sneered inwardly, eagerly anticipating Lin Yi's humiliating defeat.
He'd like to see what this guy has left to be arrogant about!
Lin Fan frowned slightly at Wang Lei's laughter, then said calmly, "The outcome is still uncertain. You're being too happy too soon!"
Lin Fan was well aware of how troublesome Wang Zhong was; apart from Mo Ling of the royal family, Wang Zhong was the most troublesome opponent.
However, he still had considerable confidence in Lin Yi.
After all, even he sensed a faint danger from the strength Lin Yi displayed at the clan meeting.
The surrounding powerful figures watched Lin Fan and Wang Lei confront each other in silence, quietly observing the spectacle.
Chapter 146 Showdown with Wang Zhong: One Punch Sends Him Swooshing! [Please Read On]
"It seems you're very confident in your abilities..."
In the center of the majestic hall, a smile appeared on Wang Zhong's ordinary face, seemingly tinged with sarcasm.
“When I fight, I never know how to control the intensity of my attacks. If you retreat now, it might be a good thing for you.”
Wang Zhong's calm voice was filled with the arrogance and domineering nature unique to the Wang clan.
"Stop rambling on. Did you win the first two rounds with your mouth?" Lin Yi sneered, speaking sarcastically.
"I hope you can still be this tough later!" Wang Zhong gave Lin Yi a deep look and slowly stepped forward.
As this step was taken, the originally calm hall seemed to erupt like a tsunami, with waves of incomparably powerful Yuan energy emanating from Wang Zhong's body!
"You're just at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm. I thought you were something special," Lin Yi shook his head slightly. His powerful Yuan energy surged out suddenly, enveloping him. The terrifying aura seemed to be slightly stronger than Wang Zhong's.
Lin Yi absorbed all the Yuan energy in the Lin clan's ancestral storehouse. Although his cultivation level did not advance, he was only one step away from the peak of the Creation Realm.
Even relying solely on his Yuan energy, Lin Yi was confident of victory!
"Oh!"
Wang Zhong's expression darkened slightly, and he stomped heavily on the ground, causing the entire majestic hall to tremble for a moment.
Immediately, his figure shot up, and with a clench of his fists, a surge of powerful Yuan energy erupted, instantly condensing into two enormous golden platforms in front of him.
It was the demonic clutches of the Wang clan at Jintai Town!
These two golden platforms are extremely solid and majestic, looking as if they were cast from real gold, exuding a sense of indestructibility.
It is many times more powerful than the Golden Terrace Demon-Suppressing Palm that Wang Yan used back then.
"boom!"
A golden platform materialized, carrying an extremely sharp and domineering palm wind that swept down, striking Lin Yi heavily from above.
That terrifying power was enough to kill a powerful expert at the Lesser Completion of the Creation Realm with a single palm strike!
"Little tricks!"
A strange smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips. With a wave of his hands, the dazzling golden Yuan energy condensed in mid-air into two huge golden stone platforms!
The golden light was dazzling and awe-inspiring, overflowing with a solidity that even surpassed the golden platform that Wang Zhong had created.
"Boom!"
Two enormous golden platforms roared out, the air itself being violently shattered, and the entire hall seemed to vibrate and hum.
"Boom!"
In the next instant, the four enormous golden platforms collided head-on, and a deafening sound suddenly rang out in the hall, even spreading beyond the palace!
"Bang bang!"
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a short while when the two golden platforms that Wang Zhong had set up were suddenly shattered on the spot!
