Three days later, a group of black-armored cavalry from the direction of Black Wind City alarmed the people in the market of Chu Xi Town, making the originally excessively quiet market bustle with noise and excitement.
After reading the letters of challenge that the Steel Cavalry had posted in the market, the spectating crowd immediately went into an uproar.
"Come and see, the son of the great general of Black Wind City, Zhou Mingzhi, has already issued a letter of challenge to Lin Long. The time is set for half a month later."
"Is that so? I already knew that Zhou Mingzhi wouldn't be able to take it lying down, but I didn't expect him to come so soon."
"This isn't considered fast. If it was me, I would probably run over the next day after finding out that my fiancee had been molested."
"The letter of challenge has been issued, but I don't know if that Lin Long dares to accept the challenge."
"I think there's a high chance that he won't. Although Lin Long looks arrogant, he's not a stupid person. He can use tricks to win against Su Ranran, but he can't win against Zhou Mingzhi at all."
"What do you mean?"
"Zhou Mingzhi has already reached the peak of the ninth level of Martial Warrior, and I heard that he has recently advanced to the Martial Master realm!"
"What? Martial Master? Zhou Mingzhi has already advanced to Martial Master? "
"It's absolutely true. I'm afraid everyone in Black Wind City knows about this. Only our remote town doesn't know about it."
"If that's the case, Lin Long wouldn't dare to meet Zhou Mingzhi even if he had a hundred guts."
… ….
"Xiao Die, why is it so lively outside?" Lin Long asked as he looked at Xiao Die, who had just returned from the outside.
"The Black Armor Guards of Black Wind City are here." Xiao Die said somewhat gloomily.
"Oh, then why did you come back so quickly?"
"These Black Armor Guards handed a letter to the housekeeper … I heard that these Black Armor Guards are here to submit a letter of challenge. They said that Zhou Mingzhi, the son of the great general of Black Wind City, wants to challenge you, young master … Young master, if that's really the case, I heard that Zhou Mingzhi has already advanced to the Martial Master realm." Xiao Die said worriedly.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Lin Long nodded.
"Young master, are you not willing at all?" Seeing Lin Long's indifferent expression, Xiao Die immediately became a little anxious.
After all, this time was different from the previous times. This time, the gap between their young master and the other party was simply a realm. With such a gap, there was no chance of victory.
"What's there to worry about? Besides, Grandpa Qingshan hasn't sent any messages yet. Perhaps they're just spouting nonsense," said Linlong.
"Young Master, that's definitely not the case. Everyone who came back from the market said so."
"Oh, is that so? But you don't have to worry, Little Die. When have I ever been afraid of anything? When have I ever lost?" Linlong was still not worried at all.
Seeing that her Young Master was most likely going to accept the challenge again, Xiao Die hurriedly said, "No, Young Master, you can't go this time no matter what. During this month, you must stay at home for Xiao Die."
After saying that, Little Butterfly put on a determined look as if she would not give up.
"Don't worry, Xiao Die. This time, Young Master has an even faster way to increase his strength. On the day of the challenge, my strength will catch up to his," Linlong said helplessly.
"Really?" Xiao Die raised her head and asked.
"Of course." Linlong nodded solemnly.
At this moment, the housekeeper's old voice came from outside, "Young Master Linlong, the patriarch wants you to go to his study."
Not long after, Linlong came to Lin Qingshan's study.
After Linlong sat down, Lin Qingshan asked, "Long 'er, you must have heard about the black-armored guards sending a letter of challenge. What do you think about this matter?"
"I don't have any opinion. I'll just accept the challenge." Linlong replied.
"What?" Lin Qingshan immediately cried out in surprise, "This Zhou Mingzhi is already in the Martial Master Realm. You're not his match at all."
These days, Lin Qingshan had already experienced Linlong's arrogance, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.
However, at this time, in his opinion, Linlong's arrogance was simply a form of stupidity.
"Martial Master Realm, it's not a big deal." Linlong smiled.
"You're only in the eighth stage of Martial Warrior. Do you have the confidence to deal with him?" Lin Qingshan frowned.
"I don't." Linlong shook his head bluntly.
"If you don't, why did you accept the challenge?" Lin Qingshan couldn't understand.
"Because I know that he will suppress his strength to the Martial Warrior Realm, then I can defeat him." Linlong said seriously.
"What makes you think that the other party will suppress his strength?"
"Intuition." Linlong said lightly.
"Intuition?" Lin Qingshan's mouth twitched, "Just based on intuition, you think that the other party will definitely suppress his strength. What if the other party doesn't suppress his strength? What if the other party ruthlessly kills you on the stage?"
After saying this, Lin Qingshan paused and said, "In short, I can't let you accept the other party's challenge. Although not accepting the other party's challenge will cause our family to lose face, compared to losing you, it's insignificant."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I've already asked Guard Zhang to take my letter to the black-armored guards. The black-armored guards have probably left." Linlong smiled.
"What?" Lin Qingshan's expression changed. He hurriedly shouted towards the door, "Elder Liu, Elder Liu …"
"Patriarch, what's the matter?" The housekeeper, Elder Liu, hurriedly walked in.
"The black-armored guards have already left?" Lin Qingshan asked.
After glancing at Linlong beside him, Elder Liu said helplessly, "Yes, I just found out."
Hearing this, Lin Qingshan suddenly became a little discouraged. "Alright, you can leave."
After Elder Liu left, Lin Qingshan was silent for a long time before saying, "Long 'er, since this is what you want, then go ahead. However, I hope that after this crisis, you can think of the family and not act recklessly. After all, the hope of the family's future rests on you."
"Grandpa, don't worry. Long 'er, I won't treat my life as a game." Linlong replied extremely solemnly.
"That's good, that's good." Lin Qingshan nodded with some relief.
Then, he said, "I heard that you used the Coiling Dragon Hand and other martial skills that you shouldn't have been able to learn in the past few days. I think you must have learned them from your deceased father, so I won't blame you. Of course, if you have any needs, you can tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you, such as martial skills or elixirs."
How was this not just blaming him? It was obvious that he wanted to give all the good stuff to Linlong. However, this was already within his expectations, so Linlong did not mind. After smiling, he said, "I don't need martial skills or elixirs. Hmm … What I want now is a detailed map of Martial Art Mountain."
"A map of Martial Art Mountain? What do you want that for?" Lin Qingshan's expression suddenly changed.
Martial Art Mountain was a dangerous place. Although it was within the borders of Chu West Town, there were all kinds of venomous snakes and ferocious beasts roaming the mountain.
This was not the main point. The main point was that the owner of this mountain was the Fang family's patriarch, Fang Feiyang. Other than a few members of the Fang family, Fang Feiyang did not allow anyone else to enter.
Because of this, there was no map of Martial Art Mountain in the market.
