Chapter 1244: Foul-Mouthed Scoundrel
"You're not bad either!"
"I'm far from it, I can't compare to you, Third Senior Sister," Lin Yifan humbly replied.
"No need to be humble, you're already impressive. In the same realm, I almost couldn't beat you."
Third Senior Sister comforted Lin Yifan's hurt little heart, urging him not to be so discouraged.
"Senior Sister is being modest; against Junior Brother, more than enough."
"Ah! It's Junior Brother who is being humble."
"It's Senior Sister who is being humble."
...
The two continued to be modest back and forth, enjoying themselves.
The disciples from Medicinal Saint Valley were also bewildered, not understanding why they kept humbling each other. They won, so just admit it; they lost, so there's no need for all the talk.
Lin Yifan felt that this wasn't a good solution, so he changed the topic, using the opportunity to slip away: "Senior Sister, I am unworthy and need to go back to train more. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Nothing more, you can go back!" Mao Yingnan replied.
Having defeated Lin Yifan in martial arts, she felt satisfied and didn't want to further discourage him in alchemy, so she let it go.
"Then I shall take my leave!"
After speaking, Lin Yifan immediately jumped off the martial arts stage, taking Xiao Fang with him, leaving the crowd.
Watching the disheartened figure, for some reason, Mao Yingnan suddenly felt a bit excessive, hurting a young junior's fragile heart in public was just mean.
But, winning and losing are part of the competition, she couldn't blame herself.
Many disciples with lower realms felt saddened for Lin Yifan; once a young hero in his glory, now lost to Third Senior Sister, surely a blow to his mindset.
Because among the disciples, there were still two more powerful than Third Senior Sister, namely Second Senior Brother and First Senior Brother.
If even Third Senior Sister's mountain couldn't be crossed, surely Second Senior Brother's and First Senior Brother's higher peaks wouldn't either.
Supporters of First Senior Brother began to sneer, throwing insults.
"Hehe, trash, thought so highly of himself, not knowing there are mountains beyond mountains!"
"Dreaming about competing with Second Senior Brother and First Senior Brother for the position of Young Valley Master, ridiculous!"
"Xiao Fang Senior Sister is blind, liking such a piece of trash."
A Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Senior Brother spat out unreservedly.
Lin Yifan could only fight across two realms, and in the end, still lost to Third Senior Sister, indicating that his strength was at most at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage. His own realm was Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage too, combined with Super Martial Arts enhancement, making him more formidable, hence he feared no retaliation from Lin Yifan.
These words were piercing, making Lin Yifan, who had a good mindset, explode instantly.
Insulting him was one thing, but insulting his woman was another, that was courting death.
Thus, he stopped, slightly tilted his head, coldly questioned, "What did you say?"
Although it was just a simple sentence, everyone could feel Lin Yifan's anger and the powerful spiritual power surging from his body.
Around Lin Yifan, the disciples from Medicinal Saint Valley instinctively moved back a bit, thinking there was more drama to unfold.
"Nothing much, just saying some people have short sights, not knowing who the future overlord will be."
This Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Senior Brother wasn't afraid of Lin Yifan's aura and answered leisurely.
"You're courting death!"
Lin Yifan couldn't hold back anymore and immediately snatched a sharp sword from one disciple and charged straight at this Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Senior Brother.
Seeing Lin Yifan, the loser, dare to attack him, this Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Senior Brother sneered nonstop.
Even with the same realm, couldn't beat Third Senior Sister, don't come here to embarrass yourself.
Thus, he leisurely drew his sword, exchanging a few moves with Lin Yifan, intending to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson.
"Yifan! Don't!!!"
Xiao Fang wanted to intervene but it was already too late.
Lin Yifan had already rushed over, nearly reaching the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Junior Brother.
She somewhat knew her beau's strength, able to fight across three realms, which wouldn't change due to realm elevation, at least not before reaching True Master Realm.
Therefore, this foul-mouthed Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage Junior Brother was going to be in trouble.
As the battle on the stage just ended, another began offstage.
Du Yuze felt this time Lin Yifan would go all out because he could clearly sense Lin Yifan's anger.
"Qiu Yi is also a fool, insisting on provoking a genius. He'll realize his mistake once he's beaten to a pulp."
He knew the foul-mouthed Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage cultivator, who followed First Senior Brother's orders blindly and ignored others, except for Elder level people.
On the stage, Third Senior Sister also felt Qiu Junior Brother's mouth was too foul, after all, everyone has their own likes. If you dislike, keep it to yourself, no need to say it publicly and disrupt the camaraderie.
Actually, she wanted to step in to seek justice for Lin Yifan, but she also wanted to know if Lin Yifan was going all out.
If indeed Lin Yifan couldn't beat Qiu Yi, it wouldn't be too late to intervene.
Fight about to burst, none of the disciples expected Lin Yifan to quickly engage in another fight; his return seemed destined to stir unrest.
"It is understandable to be ashamed and upset, but without strength, the embarrassment will only be on oneself."
"Even Third Senior Sister of the same realm couldn't be beaten, how could he possibly defeat Qiu Senior Brother, who's higher by two realms?"
"Ah! Is he smashing eggs on a rock?"
...
Everyone saw Lin Yifan as a sure defeat and didn't have any hope for him.
However, only those who understood Lin Yifan's strength knew the only loser would be Qiu Yi.
Upon closing in, Lin Yifan straight into executing the Immortal Level Martial Arts "Beixuan Sword Technique", mercilessly cleaving at Qiu Yi.
Feeling the tremendous force swinging towards him, Qiu Yi was utterly shocked, quickly exerting his full strength to hurriedly fend off Lin Yifan's fierce attack with a slash.
The moment the power of the white sword blade exploded, the entire crowd was stirred up, for that force had reached the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Middle Stage, terrifyingly miraculous.
"Damn it! This kid was going easy, belittling me, isn't he?"
On the martial arts stage, Mao Yingnan was furious, wanting to teach Lin Yifan a lesson.
But Du Yuze smiled slightly; he knew Lin Yifan hadn't gone all out earlier.
However, he was curious about what swordsmanship Lin Yifan used, having never seen it before.
Like him, the Second Senior Brother watching in secret was equally curious.
Xu Haolin also didn't know what swordsmanship Lin Yifan used; one thing was certain, it wasn't in the Scripture Pavilion and the elders didn't have it either. He wondered if it was a new creation by the Valley Master or something Lin Yifan learned from a small world.
