Pan Yingwu's only hope was placed on Li Yunhai. However, when he thought of how Huang Tong had risen to fame at such a young age, to the point that even his own father had to travel thousands of miles to the West Watching Ridge, his talent was definitely extraordinary. How could Li Yunhai compare? In addition to the other talented youths under his Second Brother, and even his Fourth Brother had one or two decent ones, Pan Yingwu instantly felt all hope turn to dust. He felt that this time, he wouldn't even get a share of the spoils.
Therefore, the dispirited Pan Yingwu left early, and the whole banquet also ended on a bad note.
Linlong's years of accumulated life experience naturally saw the reason why Pan Yingwu left early, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that it was useless to say anything now.
After all, he can't say that he was Emperor Wu in his previous life, and he can't say that Ye Tianyun's talent is amazing, and he can't say that he is the one who can kill Pan Qi and sit on the position of Yangning Island's Island Lord in the future.
Of course, he will not underestimate his opponent, after all, a teenager who can amaze Pan Qi will not be an ordinary character, as for the other teenagers with amazing talent, they also fought step by step to get to where they are now.
In the following time, Linlong naturally put all his energy on Ye Tianyun, so that Ye Tianyun can get a good result in the trial, and smoothly qualify to be in the top five.
Linlong didn't care whether he can help Pan Yingwu or not, the only thing he cared about is that Ye Tianyun can enter the top five, and then qualify to enter the third floor, so that there is hope to get the Purple Frost Lime Grass.
Time passed unhurriedly for a few days. Linlong had thought that the day of the trial would arrive peacefully, but he never expected that an uninvited guest would show up on the morning of the fifth day.
Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
"You are Lin Li?" The man said coldly.
"Yes, may I know who you are?" Linlong said lightly.
"I am Lu Yu!" When saying his name, the man's expression immediately became a little arrogant.
"Lu Yu? Sorry, never heard of you. "Linlong shook his head.
"You …" A trace of anger appeared on the other party's face, but he quickly suppressed it. "Brat, I heard that you're very arrogant, but seeing you in person really isn't as good as hearing about you. I won't beat around the bush with you. I, Lu Yu, am a hall master of Suncalm Island, and Chen Yu is my best friend!"
After hearing Chen Yu's words, Linlong thought of such a person. After all, on Pingxing Island, Chen Yu had bragged about his good relationship with Hall Master Lu.
He smiled and said, "Oh, so it's Hall Master Lu. What brings you here?"
"Let me ask you, did you kill Grandmaster Chen Yu's nephew, Chen Junhao?" Lu Yu asked coldly.
"So what if I am? So what if I am not?"
"If that's the case, I'll naturally take you down and hand you over to the Island Master to deal with!"
"Oh, I do want to kill that Chen Junhao. However, my strength is weak and I'm in the runic formation of Suncalm Island. How would I dare to make a move?" Linlong said indifferently.
"Nonsense. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Lu Yu glared at Linlong, hoping to see anything different in Linlong's eyes.
"Hmm? Since Hall Master Lu insists that I did it, then I can only say that I really did it. Alright, Hall Master Lu, please do it, "Linlong said calmly.
There was no way to reason with such a person, so Linlong simply "admitted" that he killed Chen Yu.
Linlong could naturally see that Lu Yu did not have any evidence, and did not dare to do anything to him. Otherwise, why would Lu Yu come to question him?
"You …" Lu Yu was so angry that he could not speak. After a while, he said, "Just you wait. Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that Third Young Master is protecting you. I, Lu Yu, will take you down one day!"
After saying that, he left in a huff.
Apart from being angered by Lin Long, Lu Yu was also angered by the current situation of Yangning Island. If it weren't for the island owner Pan Qi's idea, his young masters wouldn't have recruited subordinates, and Lin Li wouldn't have become Pan Yingwu's subordinate.
Otherwise, even if he did not have any evidence, he could have captured Lin Li and tortured him for a few days.
Linlong did not take this matter to heart. Once Lu Yu left, he immediately threw this matter to the back of his mind.
The following days were really uneventful. Soon, it was the day of the trial.
On this morning, all the disciples and related people who were participating in the trial gathered in a hall outside Suncalm Palace.
It was said that this hall was an entrance to the mystic realm.
Those who entered the hall were divided into three camps. The leaders of the three camps were Pan Qi's three sons. Obviously, because of Pan Qi's rules, his three sons had already recruited all the youths who were of suitable age to participate in the trial on Suncalm Island as their subordinates.
The three camps were divided into two sides of the hall. Other than the first row of chairs, the rest of the people in each camp were all standing.
Linlong and Third Young Master Pan Yingwu were sitting together in the front row. This naturally made the rune masters who followed Pan Yingwu envious. They were only envious, but did not dare to do anything. After all, they did not have a disciple like Li Yunhai.
After sitting down with Pan Yingwu, Linlong realized that countless gazes were focused on him. Even the few Suncalm Island elders on the stage at the front also shifted their gazes to him.
These gazes were filled with all kinds of emotions. Some were surprised, some were puzzled, some were sneering, and some were angry …
Linlong turned a blind eye to these gazes. As a Martial Emperor in his previous life, he had seen countless grand scenes. Even in this life, he had experienced many grand scenes. Therefore, he had no fear in his heart.
His gaze slowly swept across the surroundings. Linlong realized that among the three camps, his camp had the least number of disciples participating in the trial. There were only about 30 disciples, while Second Young Master Pan Yinghao's camp had about 70 to 80 disciples. Even Fourth Young Master Pan Yinghui's camp had about 40 disciples.
Pan Yinghao's camp did not just have a lot of disciples. With a casual glance, Linlong could see several talented youths.
Li Tong was also in Pan Yinghao's camp. Although he was defeated by Ye Tianyun, Li Tong was still full of arrogance. Obviously, joining Pan Yinghao's camp made him full of confidence.
In fact, with just a glance, Linlong found that he was arrogantly provoking Ye Tianyun's direction.
These youths were naturally not in Linlong's eyes. However, Linlong's gaze quickly stopped at a certain place.
There, just next to Second Young Master Pan Yinghao, sat a different young man.
In the entire scene, except for him, no other youths participating in the trial could sit in the first row, and this young man was sitting next to Pan Yinghao.
