He had no face to stay here any longer.
"Isn’t anyone brave enough to step up?"
"Too bad, just starting to enjoy the fight."
"Why not give it a go, Mr. Yanming? We’ve known each other for so long but never crossed fists."
Lin Zheyu smirked as he glanced at Lee Yanming in the crowd; he had noticed Tang Weizhong’s gaze towards Lee Yanming earlier.
This guy really seems to have so secret dealings with the other side.
"No, no."
"Mr. Zhao is very strong. I’m no match, so I won’t go up and embarrass myself," Lee Yanming quickly waved his hand, saying with a chuckle.
His smile was as unaffected as ever, as if the previous event had nothing to do with him.
Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but be a bit surprised; is this guy’s disposition that good, or does he have other plans?
’I’ll talk to Lee ngxi about this later; since it’s their family matter, it’s not appropriate for an outsider like to intervene,’ Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.
Seeing no one daring to challenge him, he sat cross-legged on the stage, beginning to ditate and recover.
Ti slowly passed.
Though no one ca up to challenge, yet more and more martial artists ca bustling around Lin Zheyu.
People heard a strong, talented martial artist had appeared and ca out of curiosity to watch.
"Who is this guy, with such strength? He shouldn’t be unknown."
"Could be soone from another city?" soone asked curiously.
"Not sure, I’ve heard he’s from the wealthy Lee Family on Nanming Street, whose auction is sowhat famous in Wuling City."
"Have you heard of Lee Lingyun? She’s a famous beauty in Wuling City and runs the auctions," an inford source whispered.
Lin Zheyu’s identity wasn’t secret; martial artists challenging the stage needed to register information.
Anyone keen on the betting pools could gather so info.
"It’s not just Lee Lingyun; the Lee Family’s bloodline is excellent. Often handso and beautiful daughters and sons appear, and Ling ngqi ranks sixth on the Wuling City beauty list."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, she’s quite pretty."
"It’s just that her cultivation of the True Intent of Ice gives an unapproachable feeling, keeping people at a distance. Otherwise, when she smiles, she’s prettier than Rong Siying, who ranks in the top five."
A slightly sleazy-looking man chuckled as he spoke.
"Oh, the Lee Family, if you ntion Lee Lingyun’s family, I know which one that is."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Lee Family has lucked out, managing to attract such a powerful figure," soone said enviously.
His family had power equal to the Lee Family, but attracting a martial expert of such talent wasn’t easy.
"You’ve got it wrong; I’ve heard he hasn’t been recruited by the Lee Family."
"Supposedly, Zhao Hao is Lee ngqi’s lifesaver and didn’t accept the Lee Family’s offer," a well-inford person ntioned.
So curious people had looked into the event when Lin Zheyu stirred up so excitent on Celestial Blade Peak; a little inquiry uncovered many details.
"A lifesaver?"
"Tell us about it; how did Lee ngqi face danger? Could soone in the prestigious Lee Family put her in a life-threatening situation?"
So nearby people asked curiously.
"Ah, aha, you wouldn’t know; this Lee ngqi lost her parents early."
"In noble families, competition is fierce; without parents’ protection, all resources and contributions must be fought for personally..."
"..."
Discussion buzzed beneath the stage.
Those attending the martial arts convention were all notable figures of Wuling City, even if so weren’t strong, they belonged to excellent backgrounds.
Their social circle is compact; a bit of inquiry reveals many things.
Over an hour later.
Lin Zheyu sat idly on the stage.
No one coming up to challenge left him feeling bored.
Just after warming up, it ended, leaving Lin Zheyu with an uncomfortable feeling of anticipation unt.
He simply stood and began practicing the Wild Bull Fist on the stage.
Under the gaze of countless martial artists watching in awe and admiration, Lin Zheyu felt sothing unique.
The scrutiny of others seed to form an intangible force, influencing his mindset, reinforcing his determination, and strengthening the Tyrant True Intent Seed.
"Damn it, a group of cowards; nobody daring to co up? I’ll do it!"
Suddenly, a burly figure erged from the crowd, leaping onto the stage, brandishing the Beheading Great Blade.
His blade was wide, akin to a door plank, looking quite impressive.
"It’s Yue Qinghong; didn’t expect him to co."
"His abilities are on par with Luo Manghan’s just now, no, I’ve heard Luo Manghan challenged him many tis, always ending in defeat."
Soone exclaid in surprise.
The whispers beneath the stage vanished as the martial artists eagerly rushed to the betting pools.
"I’m betting Zhao Hao... Uh, what, are you kidding, the odds are so low..."
"Forget it, taking a chance, betting on Yue Qinghong for the win."
Many martial artists who initially intended to bet on Lin Zheyu’s victory changed their minds upon seeing the odds.
Lin Zheyu, having only fought three matches of the expected ten, could bet up to four thousand at most.
With odds at 1:0.1, winnings from one match wouldn’t even cover a morsel.
"Mr. Yang, this Yue Qinghong is the most outstanding descendent of the Yue Family’s generation, quite renowned even in Wuling City."
"You’ve set these odds... Hmm, might the disparity be a bit much?"
"Is Yue Qinghong and Zhao Hao’s strength gap truly so large?"
The man managing the betting pool, seeing the odds, couldn’t help but ask.
Yue Qinghong was a noticeable figure in Wuling City.
Though it was unclear why Yue Qinghong was here instead of attending the core gatherings of the martial arts convention.
