Humiliation!
Bam!
Zhan Tianyun had just finished speaking when the black greatsword smashed him to the ground, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Lin Ling didn't even raise the sword, and just let the two hundred thousand jin sword press down on Zhan Tianyun's body!
"Eh? My lord, you seem to have been smashed to the ground? Don't go easy on me! "
Lin Ling's puzzled voice traveled out, causing the entire arena to fall silent!
Zhan Tianyun was the favorite student of the Grand Tutor's residence, and the youngest earth spirit realm genius. He had proudly said that he would give pointers to the dark faced youth, but who would've thought that he would be smashed to the ground with a single blow!
"This!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock, and couldn't speak for a moment!
The scene before their eyes was too different from what they'd imagined!
"Your sword!"
Zhan Tianyun spat out a mouthful of blood and looked angrily at Lin Ling. The sword pressing down on him was too heavy, and he couldn't get up at all!
"My lord, don't go easy on me, I want to see the might of the Grand Tutor's residence!" Lin Ling's light laughter traveled out, causing Zhan Tianyun to spit out another mouthful of blood, feeling that he'd lost all face!
He'd thought that he was an expert, a hidden genius, and had been dismissive of Lin Ling. But now, he'd been ruthlessly slapped in the face, immobilized by a single sword. This first battle of the Grand Tutor's residence was a humiliating one!
On the other side of the high platform, the Grand Tutor and the others frowned, their expressions somewhat displeased. The turn of events had exceeded their expectations, and Zhan Tianyun was too disappointing!
"Pick up the sword if you dare, I wasn't serious just now!"
Although the surroundings were silent, Zhan Tianyun could feel endless mockery. How would he explain himself to the Grand Tutor's residence now that he'd lost face in the first battle?
"Are you stupid? Weapons are also one of the methods in a battle. You told me not to use my sword, that's the same as telling me not to use my martial arts, to stand there and let you hit me. Is this how the Grand Tutor's residence bullies others in their first battle? "
Lin Ling's mocking voice traveled out!
"That's right, the Grand Tutor's residence doesn't seem to be as strong as we thought!"
The crowd was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter!
That Zhan Tian Yun had asked his opponent not to use a sword, but he himself had used a powerful martial art. This was clearly unfair. Zhan Tian Yun actually had the nerve to say such words that were close to idiocy!
"You have an unfair advantage!" Zhan Tian Yun's face was red with anger.
"I'm a little disappointed in the Imperial Preceptor's residence. How can they blame others after losing? I had an unfair advantage? Don't tell me you haven't noticed that my cultivation is higher than yours by an entire realm? "Lin Ling snorted coldly, and the ridicule in his voice became even thicker!
"What?"
Zhan Tianyun's pupils constricted. He'd felt that he couldn't see through this youth earlier, but because the youth didn't seem old and he'd reached the mid earth spirit realm at the age of twenty, he was confident that the youth's cultivation level couldn't compare to his.
But now that Lin Ling said this, he realized that Lin Ling's cultivation was vague because he was stronger than him, and his pride was not worth mentioning in front of Lin Ling!
"This black-masked youth's realm is terrifying. He's actually at the late stage of the earth spirit realm!"
Many people looked at Lin Ling and sucked in a breath of cold air.
They'd thought that it was already amazing that the Imperial Preceptor's residence could cultivate a twenty year old mid earth spirit realm cultivator. But now, the youth had also slapped the Imperial Preceptor's residence in the face. The Imperial Preceptor's residence was only so-so!
"You've lost. Scram! Scram! "
Ignoring the anger in Zhan Tianyun's heart, Lin Ling withdrew the sword in his hand and kicked Zhan Tianyun off the stage. His gaze then turned towards the Imperial Preceptor and the others in the distance.
The Imperial Preceptor and the others wanted to establish their prestige today and let everyone know the strength of the Imperial Preceptor's residence and the third prince. Since this was the case, Lin Ling wouldn't let them do as they wished!
"Let this world kill that youth if there's a chance!"
In the distance, all the important figures stared coldly at Lin Ling. Because Lin Ling had slapped their faces in the first battle, the prestige they'd established earlier had been shaken. Therefore, they couldn't let someone like this live!
"Young friend's strength is not bad, but his personality is a bit too sinister. He's obviously at the late stage of the earth spirit realm, but he hid his strength and wore a mask to hide his identity. There must be some unspeakable reason for this!"
At this moment, a figure floated lightly onto the stage. It was a young man who looked like a scholar. He had a faint smile on his face, giving others a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. However, his words were extremely sharp and carried a kind of high and mighty criticism!
"It's Fang Shi, the Crown Prince's former study companion!"
Many people's expressions changed slightly when they saw Fang Shi.
Because of the Crown Prince, many people knew this young man. At the same time, because he'd been the Crown Prince's study companion, the young man had benefited greatly. Later on, the Imperial Preceptor had taken him in as a student after seeing his hard work!
"Fang Shi is at the late stage of the earth spirit realm. Although the level of his spirit body isn't high, but because of the Imperial Preceptor's tutelage, his great intent must've reached the great perfection realm!"
Many people were secretly envious. One had to know that not every earth spirit realm practitioner could comprehend a great intent, not to mention the great perfection realm. It was obvious that Fang Shi's strength was exceedingly strong under the Imperial Preceptor's tutelage!
The sounds of discussion caused Fang Shi to lift his head slightly. He quite enjoyed this feeling. He'd been a servant in the past, but he'd made a name for himself today!
"So you're a servant!"
Unfortunately, the pride in his heart was exchanged for the faint laughter of the youth!
"You!"
Fang Shi's spring breeze-like smile instantly disappeared as he flew into a rage out of humiliation!
"You say I'm hiding my strength? How laughable, I've never hidden my strength. It's just that the student from the Imperial Preceptor's residence was too trashy and couldn't detect my level of cultivation. As for me wearing a mask to hide my identity? "
The mocking smile under Lin Ling's mask grew even thicker. "I've come here because of the Imperial Preceptor's reputation, but do I have to report my background? Do I have to say what I've done in the past and where I've been? This makes me feel like I'm not here as a student, but as a servant, with everything being controlled by the Imperial Preceptor! "
"Heh heh, perhaps once the Imperial Preceptor's residence starts a war with the various powers, we students who've come because of the Imperial Preceptor's reputation will become cannon fodder!"
Silence fell as soon as Lin Ling's words had landed.
Everyone's expressions changed. Indeed, they'd come here to be students and wanted to raise their martial dao level, but not to be servants. They certainly didn't want to be used as a tool by others!
"What a sharp tongue this youth has!"
In the distance, the Imperial Preceptor and the third prince's expressions were ugly. The youth's few words had immediately shaken the hearts of the various elites, and stabbed straight into their hearts like a knife!
"What a sharp tongue. If you only know how to rely on your mouth, then the Imperial Preceptor's residence doesn't want trash like you who only knows how to talk and not act!" Fang Shi's expression was also exceedingly dark.
"Rely on my mouth? Right now, you don't seem to have won against me. Since you didn't win, then what right do you have to say that I have a sharp tongue? If that's the case, then aren't you talking too much nonsense? "
Lin Ling sneered and raised the sword in his hand. "Come on, let me see how powerful the servant of the Imperial Preceptor's residence is!"
"Servant?"
