Chapter 268: Setting Off
Ziyi had challenged Lin Yun to withstand three of Ruhua’s moves. If Lin Yun succeeded, Ziyi would have to see him in a new light. If he failed, well, his death would be meaningless.
There were two outcomes, but neither would cost Ziyi anything. ’If I succeed, Ziyi will get a glimpse of my true strength. If I fail, I die on the spot.’
Silently, Lin Yun looked at Ziyi, his estimation of this member of the Wind Forest Sect’s Three Talents rising. As Lin Yun’s gaze met his, Ziyi’s expression remained unchanged, and he held the stare.
After a few breaths, a devilish smile played on Lin Yun’s lips. He turned to Elder Wu of Celestial Eagle Valley and asked, "Elder Wu, if I prove that I have the strength of a genius on the Wind Forest List, will that be enough to verify my identity?"
"That’s right. As long as you can prove you possess the strength of one of the top ten geniuses on the Wind Forest List, I will believe you," Elder Wu replied.
Hearing the exchange between Lin Yun and Elder Wu, Ziyi frowned slightly. He had a feeling Lin Yun was up to no good, that there was some scheme afoot.
And just as he thought, the moment Elder Wu finished speaking, Lin Yun declared, "I am ranked tenth on the Yanhuang List. So, I will now challenge the tenth-ranked genius on the Wind Forest List. I ask that you, Senior, act as a witness."
"Fine," Elder Wu agreed.
’Challenge the tenth?’ When Lin Yun said this, Ziyi’s gaze sharpened. He hadn’t expected Lin Yun to resolve the situation with just a few words.
A fight against the tenth-ranked on the Wind Forest List... to put it nicely, it was a challenge. To put it bluntly, it would be a one-sided slaughter by Lin Yun.
