At this moment, all the officials present had subconsciously acknowledged Lin Yun's ability.
To be able to dominate all the officials in Royal City at the same time in so many fields was not something an ordinary person could do!
Nangong Yan's admiration for Lin Yun had reached an unprecedented level. She had even made Lin Yun her idol. She looked at Lin Yun with respect and admiration.
Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. There was nothing he didn't know. Smithing, alchemy, formations, and talisman crafting, he was also proficient in all of these noble professions. No one could compare to him.
"Who else wants to compete?" Lin Yun stood in the middle of the palace. His not-so-tall figure gave off the illusion that he was unshakable.
After Lin Yun finished speaking, the entire palace was silent.
All the knowledgeable scholars retreated to the side timidly at this time. They didn't dare to speak, raise their heads, or look into Lin Yun's eyes.
If Lin Yun's talent and knowledge were compared to the bright sun in the sky. Their little bit of talent and knowledge was nothing more than a candle in the wind. There was no comparison between the two at all.
Clap, clap, clap!
Suddenly, there was a round of applause.
Everyone turned to the source of the sound.
On the seventh step of the nine jade steps, the Country Guarding Emperor was admiringly looking at Lin Yun, his hands clapping non-stop.
After a round of applause, the Country Guarding Emperor said to Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, your talent is indeed unparalleled. But to be part of the Ten Armies, strength is the most important. "
"General Dongfang Hao has many achievements and has accumulated a lot of prestige in the army. He is more qualified than you to be part of the Ten Armies. Unless you are stronger than him, how can you make the soldiers obey you? "
The Minister of Internal Affairs nodded in agreement. "The Guardian Emperor is right. No matter how talented Lin Yun is, he won't be able to make the soldiers obey him willingly unless he can defeat Dongfang Hao."
"In my opinion, we should just let Lin Yun fight Dongfang Hao. If he could defeat Dongfang Hao and become one of the Ten Guardian Armies, it would be good for his reputation in the army. But if he can't defeat Dongfang Hao, then we'll have to seriously consider whether or not he's one of the Ten Armies. "
"I think this is a good idea. What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Interior Emperor turned to look at the Southern Summer King.
The Southern Summer King said in disapproval, "Dongfang Hao is about to break through King Wu's realm, while Lin Yun is only a level two Martial Master. Isn't it unfair to let the two of them fight?"
Murong Tuohai also quickly expressed his opinion, "Your Majesty is right. Dongfang Hao is already 35 years old, while Lin Yun is only 15 years old. There's a difference of 20 years between them. They are not of the same generation."
"Even if Lin Yun isn't Dongfang Hao's opponent now, I believe that within two years, Lin Yun will surpass Dongfang Hao."
The Minister of Internal Affairs said, "Since he can only surpass Dongfang Hao in two years, why don't we let him become one of the Ten Armies two years later? You must know that the Northern Yan Kingdom has already started to move. The war will not wait for him for two years. "
"The Minister of Internal Affairs is right. As the saying goes, those who are capable will rise. No matter how great Lin Yun's potential is, since his current strength is not as good as Dongfang Hao's, we can't give him the position of one of the Ten Armies."
Lin Yun was already tired of the old men's war of words. He directly asked the Minister of Internal Affairs, "I haven't fought with him yet. How can you be so sure that my strength is not as good as his?"
Hearing Lin Yun's words, everyone nearly choked on their words.
Dongfang Hao was an expert that was about to surpass King Wu, while Lin Yun was only a second level Martial Master. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Just who gave Lin Yun the confidence to think that his strength was comparable to Dongfang Hao's?
"Your Majesty, since Lin Yun is so confident, why don't you give him a chance to perform?" The Minister of Internal Affairs suggested to the Southern Summer King with a smile.
The Southern Summer King asked Lin Yun with a serious expression, "Lin Yun, are you really confident?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am confident," Lin Yun said calmly, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.
Hearing Lin Yun's confident reply, the Southern Summer King finally agreed to let him fight with Dongfang Hao.
In order to prevent the palace from being destroyed, the battle between the two of them was moved to the plaza outside the palace.
The Southern Summer King and the Three Rulers also moved outside the palace.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court also stood at the edge of the plaza.
Dongfang Hao, who was wearing bronze armor and holding a black gold spear, stood out from the crowd of civil and military officials and walked in front of Lin Yun.
His eyes were sharp and his entire body was filled with killing intent. It was obvious that he was a soldier that had experienced many battles.
The fluctuation of energy on his body was stronger than any other Martial Master's. It was obvious that he was already half a step into King Wu's realm and was about to break through soon.
"Make your move!" Dongfang Hao pointed his spear at the ground and looked at Lin Yun with a hostile gaze.
Lin Yun naturally knew the reason why Dongfang Hao was hostile towards him.
The position of one of the 10 National Garrison Armies should have been held by Dongfang Hao. It was because of Lin Yun that he was unable to take up the position. Therefore, it was difficult for him to not be hostile towards Lin Yun.
"You should make your move first." Lin Yun crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood where he was. He had no intention of making the first move. He just slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already entered the state of hyperfocus.
Dongfang Hao did not underestimate Lin Yun. He also entered the state of hyperfocus and used his energy to take a step forward. In an instant, he had crossed the distance of ten meters and appeared in front of Lin Yun.
So fast!
The crowd could not help but be speechless.
Was this the speed of a Martial Master who was half a step into King Wu's realm?
It was not something that a Martial Master could compare with!
While the crowd was speechless, Dongfang Hao thrust his spear forward like lightning.
The speed of his spear was too fast. It was so fast that the crowd could not see his movement clearly. They only felt a sharp cold light coming towards Lin Yun's head.
Lin Yun, who had entered the state of hyperfocus, could see Dongfang Hao's movement clearly.
Lin Yun casually tilted his head and the tip of the spear brushed past his ear by a few centimeters.
Dongfang Hao was also in the state of hyperfocus. He was very familiar with instantaneous changes. When the tip of the spear brushed past Lin Yun's ear, he spun on the spot like a top. He spun with the spear and turned into a shadow that swept towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun saw this and immediately raised his hand. The skeleton sword appeared in his hand and blocked the shadow in time.
Clang!
The moment the spear and the sword collided, two terrifying waves of energy exploded and crushed the surrounding floor.
At the same time, Dongfang Hao had already put away his spear. He appeared behind Lin Yun in a flash and stabbed at Lin Yun's back.
