Chapter 5181: A challenge out of curiosity

Translator: 549690339

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

The cross-level challenge had always been a big deal, not to mention that the gun hits the bird that takes the lead. In this situation, whoever was the first to step out and challenge the cross-level challenge would be in the limelight, but also under a lot of pressure, especially the high-level disciple who was challenged by him. Otherwise, if he was really defeated in front of everyone, he would have no face to see others in the future.

Lin Yi was a Foundation peak, and he was already the highest level in the compet.i.tion. Naturally, he wouldn’t challenge someone of a higher level than him. As for Lingshan and the others, they were only Foundation Stage not long ago, and naturally, they wouldn’t dream of challenging someone of a higher level. They were all waiting for the draw.

Half an incense’s time pa.s.sed, and still no one stepped forward to challenge someone of a higher level. Xin Yijie coughed dryly and was about to announce the draw when someone finally said,””Martial uncle Xin, why don’t you let me try?”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar. Their eyes then focused on a young man. This man had delicate features and a gentle and calm temperament. At first glance, he seemed to be aloof from the world. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that this person’s calm temperament clearly contained an indescribable majestic aura.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh. This guy was extraordinary!

“Ling Tianyou of the thousand blades sect, who do you plan on challenging?” Xin Yijie asked. Even he, the martial uncle-in-charge, didn’t dare to be arrogant when facing Ling Tianyou.

One had to know that this person’s ident.i.ty was the young sect leader of the thousand blades sect. This was not as simple as being a n.o.ble second generation cultivator. Ever since the previous sect leader of the thousand blades sect had died at the hands of an evil cultivator, Ling Tianyou had taken the position of sect leader at a young age. Even though he was only at the peak of the late stage of the foundation building realm, he still received the unanimous support of the entire thousand blades sect.

This wasn’t just because he had the bloodline of the previous sect leader. The ancient martial world was a world where strength was respected. Without strong strength, bloodline inheritance was just a joke. Ling Tianyou, who was only at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage, was able to obtain the recognition of the thousand blades sect. He naturally didn’t rely on absolute strength, but his unparalleled talent.

It was rumored that the number one foundation establishment cultivator in the ancient Alliance was Xue Jianfeng of the snow sword sect, but that was only because he was high-profile. On the other hand, Ling Tianyou, as the young sect master of the thousand blades sect, kept an extremely low profile and rarely fought with others. Only the inner disciples of the thousand blades sect knew a thing or two about him. If the two of them really had the chance to fight, it was hard to say who would win or lose. In fact, more people would even think highly of Yin Tianyou. He was the true king without a crown.

” Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Ling Tianyou is definitely going to challenge Xue Jianfeng. This is the battle for the number one foundation establishment cultivator in the ancient Alliance! ” The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly. Ling Tianyou was an expert at the peak of the late stage of the foundation building realm. The only person he could challenge was someone at the perfected stage of the foundation building realm, and his representative was Xue Jianfeng.

Between Xue Jianfeng and Ling Tianyou, who was the stronger one? this was something that had always been debated in the streets. It was just a pity that the two of them had never met each other. But now, they could finally have a public showdown.

It seemed like this kid really wanted to challenge him? Xue Jianfeng muttered to himself. To be honest, if he was still a perfected Foundation establishment expert, he might really be a little scared. After all, Ling Tianyou was no small matter. But now that he was already in the early jiedan stage, there was nothing to worry about.

No matter how powerful Ling Tianyou was, how could a mere peak late-stage Foundation establishment cultivator challenge an early-stage golden core cultivator? What a joke!

“Uncle-master Xin, the person I want to challenge is him.” Ling Tianyou smiled as his eyes fell on one person. This caused the crowd to go into an uproar. The person he wanted to challenge wasn’t Xue Jianfeng, but Lin Yi.

“You want to challenge me?” Lin Yi was a little stunned.

“Not bad. This should work, right?” Ling Tianyou confirmed, his trademark gentle smile still on his face.

“Sure.” Xin Yijie nodded. He didn’t know why Ling Tianyou wanted to challenge Lin Yi all of a sudden, but from the rules of the compet.i.tion, there was no problem at all. Lin Yi couldn’t reject him either.

“Can I ask why you chose me?” Lin Yi asked curiously. It wasn’t strange for someone like Ling Tianyou to take on a higher level challenge, but why did he choose Lin Yi instead of the other disciples? did he think that Lin Yi was the weakest link?

“Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I was just curious.” Ling Tianyou said as he nodded slightly.

“Curious? Interesting. ” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile as he turned to Xin Yijie.”Then, can we start now?”

“Sure. We’ll only start the regular draw compet.i.tion after the cross-realm challenge is over.” Xin Yijie nodded and then reminded her in a low voice,””Grand uncle-master, this Ling Tianyou is no small matter. You have to be careful when dealing with him. If you lose to someone who’s a level higher than you, not only will you lose face, you’ll also lose the right to take part in the trial.”

Although this sentence wasn’t said clearly just now, everyone knew that it was the meaning of the question. In this Trial Compet.i.tion, the disciples who were at a disadvantage in a duel of the same level would be disqualified, let alone if they were defeated by someone of a higher level.

“I know,” Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly. This Ling Tianyou did seem a little unpredictable, but it was a pity that his body was comparable to a giant head. No matter how talented Ling Tianyou was, he was just a young seedling in Lin Yi’s eyes. There was nothing to worry about.

The cross-realm challenge was the center of attention, and everyone immediately backed off to the side, leaving the stage for Lin Yi and Ling Tianyou.

“Then, I’m sorry.” Ling Tianyou cupped his hands together with a smile on his face. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly took out a silk ribbon from his chest. The crowd was confused. Could this ribbon be his weapon?

“This Ling Tianyou has been rumored to be a G.o.d. Why would he use such a girly weapon?” Everyone could not help but look at each other.

“That’s right. Our ancient Alliance has always placed great emphasis on weapons, while the thousand blades sect’s cultivation is based on weapons. As the young sect master of the thousand blades sect, Ling Tianyou should have inherited a divine weapon. How could it be a girly ribbon that doesn’t look anything special?” Someone mumbled with a frown.

They weren’t the only ones. Even Bing Wuqing, Xue Jianfeng, Xin Yijie, and the others were staring at the ribbon dancing in the air. They were all golden core stage experts, but none of them would underestimate Ling Tianyou. After all, he was someone who could become the sect leader of the thousand blades sect.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was deep in thought as he looked at the ribbon. He’d dealt with people from the thousand blade sect before, and he’d studied their Arts as well-he knew that one of the most important things to measure a thousand blade sect master’s strength was how many weapons they could control at the same time. Every additional weapon meant countless more variations, and it was harder to guard against. Of course, the difficulty of training in it would increase as well. (To be continued.) ”
