Chapter 133 Frustration Came Fast (1)
“Arrogant brat!”
Yan Dao gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Shen on the stage, the veins on his forehead bulging.
He never expected that not only did Lin Shen want to challenge an Earth-rank disciple, but he also wanted to challenge him!
Lin Shen didn’t take him seriously at all!
“Do you really think I’m an easy target?!”
!!
Yan Dao snorted coldly and strode towards the high platform.
Behind him, Bai Xiaotong and Zheng Weirong looked at each other.
“Why would Lin Shen challenge Senior Brother Yan?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Lin Shen already has a lot of conflict with the Yan family, not to mention the incident at Mount Firon. Yan Xing is still unconscious now!”
“You’re right…”
The two of them muttered softly.
Ai Jingting had a strange expression on her face. Lin Shen’s actions also far exceeded her expectations.
At this moment, as Yan Dao ascended the high platform, the atmosphere in the square immediately climbed to the highest point.
“Lin Shen is going to fight the Yan family to the end!”
“Yan Dao is from the Yan family? Can anyone tell us about Senior Brother Yan’s strength?”
“I happen to know that Senior Brother Yan is at the seventh level of the Long Breath Stage!”
“Seventh level? Wouldn’t that make him one of the weakest Earth-rank disciples?”
Earth-rank disciples were generally between the seventh and ninth levels of the Long Breath Stage.
Very few people had reached the ninth level, and the number didn’t exceed 20.
Most of them were at the eighth level.
As for those at the seventh level, they were the weakest ones.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately shook his head and refuted.
“You’re wrong. Although Senior Brother Yan is at the seventh level, his attainments in martial arts are stronger than many Earth-rank disciples. I heard his Moving Star Steps and Spirit Burning Cloud Saber have already reached Perfection!”
As soon as he said this, many people in the crowd cried out in surprise.
Moving Star Steps and Spirit Burning Cloud Saber were common martial arts techniques in the Nine Yang Academy. Many disciples cultivated them.
However, only ten to twenty percent of them could reach Mastery.
There were even fewer who could reach Perfection.
To be able to cultivate two martial techniques to Perfection meant Senior Brother Yan was indeed very capable in his martial techniques.
“In terms of martial arts attainments, Lin Shen isn’t inferior to Senior Brother Yan, right?”
“I think Lin Shen is better than Senior Brother Yan in this aspect. Didn’t you see that his Physical Enhancement martial technique can even block the Six Yang Talisman Sword?”
“Even so, Lin Shen won’t stand a chance. After all, Senior Brother Yan’s cultivation level is higher than his!”
Many people agreed with the last bit.
From Lin Shen’s performance just now, it was very likely that he had already broken through to the fourth or even fifth level of the Long Breath Stage.
This was already extremely shocking!
After all, Lin Shen had only been in the academy for three months!
After such a short period of time, many disciples were still cultivating diligently to break through to the Long Breath Stage!
However, even if he was at the fifth level of the Long Breath Stage, the possibility of defeating Yan Dao, who was at the seventh level, was still very low.
The difference between the two stages wasn’t something that martial techniques could make up for—not to mention that Yan Dao’s attainments in martial techniques were quite high as well.
After a round of arguments, the majority of people felt that Lin Shen’s chances of winning were low.
Of course, more people were impressed that Lin Shen had the guts to challenge an Earth-rank disciple. Although his chances of winning were low, it was an admirable move in itself!
Even if he lost, it would not be a big deal.
On the high platform, Yan Dao had already calmed down.
Hearing the discussions around him, he snorted coldly. When he looked at Lin Shen, there was a cold glint in his eyes.
“I really don’t know where you got the courage to challenge me?”
His cold words did not change Lin Shen’s expression at all. Instead, he smiled faintly.
“The Nine Yang Academy established a rank challenge system with the intention of encouraging disciples to compete with each other and face difficulties head-on, right?”
After a pause, without waiting for Yan Dao to reply, Lin Shen added with a faint smile.
“Of course. Challenging you isn’t exactly going up against the odds.”
Yan Dao was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Lin Shen meant. He immediately flew into a rage.
In his anger, Yan Dao didn’t say anything else. With a clang, he drew his saber and charged at Lin Shen.
As an Earth-rank disciple, Yan Dao was much richer than Yellow-rank and Black-rank disciples. The weapon in his hand was a long saber that was as good as the Six Yang Talisman Sword. It was also a middle-grade enchanted armament.
The blade tore through the air, and a blazing wave of flames instantly appeared. Coupled with the incomparably sharp and scorching force of Spirit Burning Cloud Saber, the momentum was shocking!
However, when this saber slashed out, Yan Dao was shocked to discover that what swept over was also incomparably blazing and surging waves, and it even contained ferocious sword energy!
BOOM!
The two powerful waves collide heavily in the middle of the high platform like a high-speed train. In an instant, violent airwaves suddenly erupted, turning into visible distortions that quickly swept out and finally collided fiercely with the edge of the high platform!
Boom!
The stone pillars erected around the platform suddenly lit up, and a circle of faint green light appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire platform like an inverted jade bowl.
The violent airwave collided with the green light and instantly disappeared without a trace.
However, the deafening sound spread out, causing many disciples who were closer to the platform to feel their chests tighten.
However, they couldn’t care less. They stared at the high platform without blinking, afraid that they would miss any scene.
Whew!
The airwaves dissipated, and the dust fell to the ground. They could see what was happening on the platform again.
Lin Shen and Yan Dao were still more than ten meters apart. The ground between the two of them had long been covered in cracks and was faintly charred. That showed how shocking the power of the confrontation just now was!
