"He is Daoist Master Yunxu!"
At that mont, countless fervent gazes fell on Yun Xu as people exclaid in awe, "Who would have thought that after thirty years, Daoist Master Yunxu's cultivation level has beco even more terrifying."
"Thirty years have passed, and Daoist Master Yunxu's power has grown even more formidable!" soone declared, their heart shaking as they felt the aura that faintly suffused the heavens and the earth.
"After this battle, Daoist Master Yunxu's reputation will surely surpass that of the four great Grandmasters," so remarked with a series of sighs.
The most renowned Martial Arts Grandmasters in Huaxia today were:
East Madness Dong Feng Potian!
Western Poison Little Ouyang!
Southern Butcher Nangong Xiu!
Northern Blade Beiming Qingyan!
These four were the most well-known Martial Arts Grandmasters in the Martial Arts World. With the long-established Zhongyuan Sword God, Liu Mubai, having gone into seclusion years ago, these four were currently the most active, their legendary feats periodically sending shockwaves through the community.
Jiang Yawei moored the boat, his expression solemn as he looked toward the elder in the center of the river. In a deep voice, he said, "He is Daoist Master Yunxu!"
"He's practically a celestial being!"
No matter what, I must take him as my master! Qiao Zishan's expression was fervent, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Given his status as the son of River City's wealthiest man, becoming a disciple of Yun Xu wouldn't be too difficult.
Jiang Xia was also trembling, his expression excited as a fervent fire sparked in his eyes. Gu Can and the others were hardly any calr, each overwheld with excitent.
Jiang Mingyue sneered, "Beco a disciple of Daoist Master Yunxu? What a fool's dream! If you don't want to die, don't say anything stupid, and don't even think of sneakily taking photos with your phone!"
Terrified, Li Ping hastily put her phone back in her pocket, her face pale.
Song Wenrou looked tense, her palms slick with sweat.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
So that's Yun Xu? The True Immortal of Thunder Law? The Martial Arts Grandmaster who once arm-wrestled with the current Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion Master? Very well... he has so strength.
At that sa mont, in the heart of the river, Yun Xu, who had been ditating with his eyes closed, seed to sense sothing and suddenly opened them. His gaze, sharp as thunderbolts, swept across the entire river. His voice, like rolling thunder, spread in all directions.
"Master Lin, since you've arrived, show yourself. I have been waiting for a long ti!"
As Yun Xu's voice echoed out, the entire river's surface seed to pause for a mont before the water began to boil and surge, with countless fish and shrimp tumbling within it. In an instant, a multitude of them floated lifelessly on the surface.
"HISS!"
"How terrifying! A single sentence killed thousands of fish and shrimp!"
"Is that sothing a human is even capable of?"
Cries of alarm rang out as everyone stared in shock at the dead fish on the river. There was even a massive fish, long since dead, floating among them.
"Did you hear that? Master Lin has already arrived!"
"What? He's here? Why can't I see him?"
"TSK, TSK. This Master Lin is certainly mysterious, still not showing himself."
Countless people widened their eyes, carefully scrutinizing the young people around them who looked to be under thirty. If Master Lin had truly arrived, he had to be hiding among them. Imdiately, many of the youths looked terrified, afraid they would be mistaken for him.
For most, however, the realization was a profound shock.
Master Lin actually dared to co?
As expected of the youngest rising star in the Martial Arts World today. He had great spirit and even greater courage. The only question was whether he was a match for Daoist Master Yunxu.
On Lin Mu's boat, Jiang Xia was beginning to have doubts. He was now starting to wonder if Lin Mu was truly that Master Lin. Witnessing Daoist Master Yunxu's power, he finally understood just how terrifying a Martial Arts Grandmaster could be. While Lin Mu fit the profile in many ways, it seed impossible for him to possess this kind of strength. With a single phrase, the river water boiled. That wasn't a feat achievable by human power.
Ye Tong felt the sa.
Qiao Zishan, his throat dry, asked, "Elder Jiang, where is this Master Lin? Why can't I see him?"
Jiang Mingyue said in a grave tone, "Grandfather, could it be that Master Lin was intimidated by Daoist Master Yunxu's might and was too afraid to show up?"
Jiang Yawei's expression darkened. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's just wait."
Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips. Although she fell silent, she remained unconvinced.
「anwhile, on a speedboat elsewhere on the river.」
"Master Lin?" Mr. Liu, whom Lin Mu had once briefly t, said with a gentle smile, "He's just a coward, afraid to show his face."
Behind him, Lu Tong, the Head of the Jiangling Martial Alliance Branch, stood respectfully. He added, "Mr. Liu is right. That Master Lin talked a good ga, but now he doesn't dare appear."
"Trash is trash. And to think I wasted my ti coming here myself." Liu Xiu flicked his sleeve in annoyance and said, "Let's head back."
「Back in the middle of the river.」
Daoist Master Yunxu's eyes, as piercing as lightning, scanned the river's surface. He spoke in a deep voice, "Master Lin, I know you're here!
"My worthless disciples died at your hands, and for that, I can only bla their inferior skills.
"Regardless, I am their master, and it is my duty to seek justice for them. That is why I, Yun Xu, have traveled a thousand miles. I wanted to see you for myself, Master Lin, to see where you found the audacity to kill my disciples!
"I've heard you are also an expert in the Thunder Law. Coincidentally, I too have so knowledge of that art. Today, on the Bolan River, I would like to witness it firsthand!
"Let's see if your skills are superior, or if mine are wanting!"
Sensing Daoist Master Yunxu's growing impatience, Lin Mu shook his head, stood up, and prepared to step forward.
Ye Tong, who had been watching Lin Mu intently, felt her pupils constrict.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Seeing Lin Mu stand up, Jiang Mingyue's expression changed drastically. She snapped, "He's calling for Master Lin, not you! If you don't want to die, sit back down!"
What an idiot! Doesn't he see what's happening? There are so many experts here, and there might be other Grandmasters watching in secret. None of them have moved, yet this ordinary person is just wandering around? He's practically asking to be killed!
Jiang Yawei also shook his head and sighed. "Young man, don't be rash. You can watch the fight from here. If you anger the two Martial Arts Grandmasters, even I won't be able to save you."
However, a sense of unease grew in Jiang Xia's heart.
Just as he suspected, Lin Mu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing toward the center of the river.
"If I don't show myself soon, that old man will think I'm avoiding the fight."
Jiang Mingyue was stunned. "What do you an?"
Lin Mu stated calmly, "Because I am Master Lin."
"You're Master Lin?" Jiang Mingyue was shocked for a mont, then looked at Lin Mu as if he were insane. She scoffed, "Are you crazy? You need to pick the right ti and place to boast. Even if that Master Lin isn't all that great, there's no way you could be him!"
At that mont, her aversion to Lin Mu intensified.
It wasn't just her. Qiao Zishan also sneered, "You think you're Master Lin just because your surna is Lin? By that logic, my surna is Qiao, so does that make Qiao Feng?" He roared with laughter. "You? You're not even worthy of carrying Master Lin's shoes! Stop embarrassing yourself."
Gu Can and Li Ping also snickered.
Lin Mu offered no explanation. Instead, he turned to Song Wenrou and said, "Protect yourself."
"Mm!" Song Wenrou nodded, then uttered two words: "Go for it!"
Lin Mu said no more. With a faint smile, he took a step forward and leaped from the boat.
"Yunxu, I am here!
"I hope... you don't disappoint."
