Chapter 334: Underestimated
"This prize..."
On the other side, Taiyi's eyes narrowed slightly and he spoke softly.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Lin Yun had appeared at this martial arts conference.
The spiritual soul of an Innate Realm powerhouse was extremely strong, coupled with the unique sensing ability of the Innate Realm powerhouse, which made their perception very strong. Lin Yun was holding a sword which wasn't simple at all, and he naturally sensed it.
However, he didn't rush to do anything.
In his opinion, even if Lin Yun won this sword, he could easily deal with him and take the sword away from Lin Yun whenever he wished!
So, why hurry to get this sword?
"I guess, you don't want to fight here, do you?" Lin Yun turned around, looked at Taiyi, and said.
"Do you mean, you want to duel with me?" Taiyi asked lightly.
"What?"
"Really?"
"An Initial Stage of Dark Strength competing with a legendary Innate Realm? Has Lin Yi, or rather, Lin Yun, gone mad?"
"Is Lin Yun... that arrogant?"
Under the stage, many people couldn't believe it.
"Haha! This Lin Yun is too arrogant! Daring to provoke a legendary Innate Realm powerhouse? He's doomed! He's doomed!" Zhong Nan laughed wildly.
Wei Donglai and Qin Daoming glanced at Zhong Nan with a mildly wrinkled brow, but this time they didn't say anything.
Indistinctly, they felt that Lin Yun didn't mean that.
"You have not acted, isn't it because you're still hoping to lure out some of my people?" Lin Yun glanced at Taiyi and said.
"So, as you wish, Uncle Tian..." After a pause, Lin Yun said.
This robot, possessing the strength of the initial stage of the Innate Realm, Lin Yun had, in fact, upgraded it using Lin Tian's intelligence chip. Naturally, its name was also Lin Tian, which was another way to bring Lin Tian back to life.
"Boom--"
As Lin Yun's words fell, a strong force rose from under the stage, and a figure swiftly flashed towards Lin Yun on the stage.
"Innate Realm?" Seeing this figure, Taiyi's pupils contracted, he murmured.
Innate Realm... He knew very clearly how powerful a Martial Artist at this level was, after spending so many years and efforts to reach this realm. There were very few Martial Artists who had reached this realm in recent history.
Unexpectedly, there was such a powerhouse behind Lin Yun.
Taiyi looked extremely serious.
"What is this?"
"This aura is so strong, similar to Taiyi's. Could it be another Innate Realm powerhouse?"
"Sss--"
Many Martial Artists in the distance saw this and their faces changed slightly.
An Innate Realm powerhouse was a legendary being, it was already rare to see one, but now they had seen two, they felt remarkably lucky today.
"Innate Realm!"
"Another Innate Realm!"
The nearby Martial Arts grandmasters, who had heard Taiyi's low muttering, all changed expressions.
In particular, Vice League Leader Zhang Qiankun felt both relieved and amazed.
Relieved that he hadn't just taken Lin Yun's rookie competition first place prize.
Amazed because he realized why Lin Yun was so calm, he had such powerful support.
"Young Master!"
Lin Tian, with his back to Taiyi, stood in front of Lin Yun, bowing in salutation, his tone was respectful.
"This Innate Realm powerhouse is calling Lin Yun Young Master?"
"This Innate Realm powerhouse is so respectful to Lin Yun?"
Many Martial Artists couldn't believe what they saw.
What did it mean for a legendary Innate Realm powerhouse to call Lin Yun "Young Master" and to be extremely respectful to him?
Even Taiyi's face, had slightly changed.
From the moment he broke into the Innate realm, the entire higher ranks of Huaxia were extremely respectful to him, and there were very few who could earn such respect from him. So, what was Lin Yun's identity?
"Lin Yun, it appears that Huaxia has underestimated you…" Taiyi squinted his eyes and said.
He previously made numerous speculations regarding the identity of Lin Yun, but at this moment, he was unable to come up with a single conjecture.
"May I ask what your identity is and what your connection is to Lin Yun. Are you aware that Lin Yun is at odds with the official from Huaxia? By doing this, you are becoming their enemy?" Afterward, Taiyi turned towards Lin Tian and inquired.
"No need for needless words, meet me in battle over there, on that cliff." Lin Tian glanced at Taiyi, then turned his head to scan the top of a distant mountain cliff and said indifferently.
Whoosh—
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Tian, dragging along Lin Yun, rushed swiftly towards that direction.
Just like when Taiyi first appeared, Lin Tian flicked his feet lightly, and he, along with Lin Yun, took off like a feather, the two of them swiftly darting forward as if they were flying.
"Ah—"
This scene once again shocked the crowd below the ring. This time, most of them saw it clearly.
On the other side, Taiyi also responded swiftly. He lightly tapped his foot and quickly pursued Lin Tian and Lin Yun. The two factions, one in front and one behind, moved with extreme speed, causing the crowd below the ring to exclaim in shock once again.
"Innate realm... is this the Innate realm?"
The strong ones at the peak of the Huajin realm, upon seeing this scene, were deeply shocked and muttered to themselves.
On the surface, the peak of the Huajin realm is a step away from the Innate realm, but at this moment, they truly felt the profound gap.
They felt that if any of these two powerful Innate realm fighters were to make a move, a few blows would be all it took to easily bring down any one of them.
"Is this the Innate realm?"
Almost at the same time, Lin Yun, standing beside Lin Tian, drew in a deep breath and asked quietly.
He hadn't had time to familiarize himself with Lin Tian's strength. At this moment, as he was being carried by Lin Tian in flight, he felt a peculiar change happening in the surrounding air flow - a very special sensation.
"Is Lin Tian using the principle of airplane propulsion for flight? However, this change is much more delicate and more natural. Similarly, to maintain their combat power, they cannot fly continuously like aircraft...According to the description on the Cosmic Trading System, an Innate realm fighter can control the natural energy of the world.
I wonder what the difference is between this principle and that..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
It was clear that Lin Tian and Lin Yun's speed was a bit slower, while Taiyi's speed was a bit faster. They were quickly approaching each other.
It may have been because Lin Tian was carrying Lin Yun, or perhaps, Taiyi's strength was slightly stronger, or maybe Taiyi excelled at speed. Lin Yun wasn't sure what the exact reason was and he suspected that it could be a combination of factors.
Soon, the two parties grew very close.
However, by that time, Lin Tian had already brought Lin Yun near the cliff.
"Young Master, you go over there by yourself, I'll hold him back..." Lin Tian said and set Lin Yun down, then turned to look in the direction of the cliff.
"Alright!" Lin Yun nodded.
"Bang—"
The next moment, Lin Tian clashed with Taiyi. An intense explosion-like noise resounded from between the two parties.
A powerful air current spread in all directions. Lin Yun, who was more than twenty meters away, could clearly feel a strong wind hitting his back, causing the Qi in his body to surge uncontrollably.
"Roar—"
Just then, Taiyi opened his mouth and a powerful sound wave swept towards Lin Yun. Lin Yun felt a buzzing in his ears, his sight grew dark, and the Qi in his body became more turbulent.
"Pfft—"
Lin Yun slightly bent over, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. His whole body started falling towards the ground.
Lin Yun was shocked. His level was still too low.
Although his power allowed him to fight against Grandmaster Martial Artists at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength without losing ground, his physical attributes were at max slightly stronger than that of Martial Artists at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength.
At this moment, these physical attributes of his simply couldn't withstand such a level of sound wave attack.
Especially because he had just borne the shockwave from the clash between Lin Tian and Taiyi.
Had he been a true Huajin Grandmaster, he certainly wouldn't have been in such a dire situation.
Unfortunately, he was not.
"I've underestimated the power of Innate realm fighters..." Lin Yun thought, chiding himself as he rapidly fell towards the ground.
Who would've thought he would come under such a serious attack even standing more than twenty meters away from his opponent? Moreover, these attacks contained Qi, and not just ordinary Qi, but that of an Innate realm fighter. The sound wave and air currents launched as special attacks bypassed even the protection of his shield.
In the end, he proved to be conceited.
"Young Master—"
Lin Tian, who was currently clashing with Taiyi, perceived this and his expression slightly changed. With extreme worry, he shouted loudly while making an even stronger effort to block Taiyi.
