Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Challenging someone of a higher level was no small matter, not to mention that the bird that sticks out gets shot first. In this kind of situation, whoever was the first to step out to challenge someone of a higher level would be in the limelight, but at the same time, they would also be under a great deal of pressure. This was especially true for the high level disciple they challenged. He would definitely go all out. Otherwise, if he was defeated by someone of a higher level in front of everyone, he would not be able to face anyone in the future.
Lin Yi was a foundation perfection practitioner, and he was already the highest level in the tournament. Naturally, there was no such thing as challenging someone of a higher level. As for Lingshan and the others, they were only at foundation establishment not long ago, and naturally wouldn't think of challenging someone of a higher level. As a result, they waited patiently for the lots to be drawn.
Half an hour passed, and still no one stood out to challenge someone of a higher level. Xin Yijie coughed dryly and was about to announce the draw when someone finally spoke up, "Uncle Xin, why don't I try?"
The crowd went into an uproar at the words, and all eyes focused on a young man. He had delicate features, and a calm aura around him. He looked like he had nothing to do with the world, but if one looked closely, they would realize that there was an indescribable aura hidden within his calmness.
Even Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh to himself. This kid was extraordinary!
"Ling Tianyou of the Thousand Blades Sect, who would you like to challenge?" Xin Yijie asked. Facing this Ling Tianyou, even he, as the leader of the group, didn't dare to be careless.
One had to know that this kid was the young master of the Thousand Blades Sect, and this wasn't as simple as being a second generation practitioner. Ever since the previous head of the Thousand Blades Sect died in the hands of a heretic, Ling Tianyou had become the head of the Thousand Blades Sect at a young age. Even though he was only at the peak of the late phase of foundation establishment, he still received the support of the entire sect.
This was not only because he had the bloodline of the former Sect Master, but also because the Ancient Jianghu was a world where strength was respected. Without strength, bloodline inheritance was just a joke. The reason why Ling Tianyou was able to gain the recognition of the Thousand Blades Faction with his cultivation at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Realm was naturally not because of absolute strength, but because of his incomparable talent.
It was rumored that the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Archaic Alliance was Xue Jianfeng of the Snow Sword Faction, but that was only because Xue Jianfeng was very high-profile. On the other hand, as the young master of the Thousand Blades Faction, Ling Tianyou was extremely low-key and rarely fought with others. Only the inner disciples of the Thousand Blades Faction knew a thing or two about him. If the two of them really had a chance to fight, it would be very difficult to say who would win. On the contrary, more people would favor Yin Tianyou, as he was the uncrowned king.
"Hehe, this will be interesting. Ling Tianyou will definitely challenge Xue Jianfeng. This is the battle for the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Ancient Alliance!" Everyone couldn't help but be excited. Ling Tianyou was an expert at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment Realm. He could only challenge those at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his representative was Xue Jianfeng.
Who was stronger between Xue Jianfeng and Ling Tianyou? This was a point that had been debated endlessly. It was a pity that the two of them had never met each other. Now, they could finally have a showdown in front of everyone.
It seemed that this kid really wanted to challenge him? Xue Jianfeng muttered to himself. To be honest, if he was still an expert at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he might really be a little afraid. After all, Ling Tianyou was no small matter. But now that he was at the early Gold Core Realm, there was nothing to worry about.
No matter how powerful Ling Tianyou was, could he, as a mere peak of the late Foundation Establishment Realm, challenge an early Gold Core Realm? What a joke!
"Martial Uncle Xin, the person I want to challenge is him." Ling Tianyou smiled slightly and his gaze fell on a person. This time, the crowd was in an uproar again. The person he wanted to challenge was not Xue Jianfeng, but Lin Yi.
"You want to challenge me?" Lin Yi was also a little stunned.
"Yes, this should be fine, right?" Ling Tianyou confirmed with his trademark gentle smile on his face.
"Yes." Xin Yijie nodded. He didn't know why Ling Tianyou suddenly wanted to challenge Lin Yi, but according to the rules of the competition, there was no problem. Moreover, Lin Yi couldn't refuse.
"Can I ask why you chose me?" Lin Yi asked curiously. It was not strange for someone like Ling Tianyou to take the path of challenging those at a higher level. But instead of those disciples of the Archaic Alliance, he chose him. Did he think that he was a pushover?
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I am purely curious." Ling Tianyou nodded slightly.
"Curious? That's a little interesting. " Lin Yi couldn't help but be amused. He turned to Xin Yijie and said, "Then can we start now?"
"Yes, we can. Only after the challenge is over will we start the competition by drawing lots." Xin Yijie nodded and then reminded in a low voice, "Martial Uncle, this Ling Tianyou is not to be trifled with. You must be careful. If you lose to someone at a higher level, not only will you lose face, you will also lose the qualification to participate in the competition."
Although this sentence was not said clearly, everyone knew that it was the truth. In this Grand Competition, even disciples who were at a disadvantage in a battle of the same level would be disqualified. If they were defeated by someone who was a level higher than them, then there was no need to say anything more.
"I know." Lin Yi smiled indifferently. This Ling Tianyou seemed a little unfathomable. Unfortunately, he was an existence comparable to a magnate realm expert. No matter how strong Ling Tianyou's aptitude was, he was just a seedling in Lin Yi's eyes. There was really nothing to worry about.
Challenging someone of a higher level would attract a lot of attention, and everyone retreated to the side, leaving Lin Yi and Ling Tianyou alone.
"Then, sorry for offending you." Ling Tianyou cupped his hands with a smile, and then slowly took out a silk belt from his bosom in front of everyone. Everyone was puzzled. Could this silk belt be his weapon?
"This Ling Tianyou is said to be a god. Why would he use such a sissy weapon?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"That's right. Our Archaic Alliance has always attached importance to weapons, and all the cultivation of the Thousand Blades Faction is based on weapons. As the young master of the Thousand Blades Faction, Ling Tianyou should have inherited a divine weapon. Why would he use a sissy silk belt? It doesn't look like a big deal." Someone frowned and muttered.
Not only them, but even Bing Wuqing, Xue Jianfeng, and Xin Yijie were staring at the ribbon fluttering in the air. They were all experts in the Gold Core Stage, but none of them would underestimate Ling Tianyou. After all, he was someone who could become the leader of the Thousand Blades Sect.
