Gu Chenan walked back to the competition venue full of doubts in his mind.
This is just speechless.
Why did Tang Yunjin suddenly come to ask me these irrelevant questions? It makes no sense!
When he arrived at the competition venue, a scene that shocked all the onlookers was happening in the arena.
Lin Yu was standing alone on the stage, looking confident and powerful, like an immovable Wisdom King statue.
Below the stage, countless people were holding their chests with painful and unwilling expressions as they looked up at Lin Yu on the stage.
Not long after Gu Chenan left with Liu Mingrui, Lin Yu knocked out his opponent with one hit and arrogantly looked at the candidates below the stage and said, "The group matches are too slow. Why don't you just come at me one by one."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The participating candidates below the stage and the spectators all broke out in laughter, mocking him, with disdainful expressions.
How dare this unknown nobody be so arrogant and presumptuous!
So the candidates below the stage came up one after another to challenge him.
The situation has now become what it is.
Looking at Lin Yu standing arrogantly on the stage, the spectators finally came back to their senses and immediately broke out in exclamations.
"Too...too amazing! I was mocking Lin Yu earlier, I clearly have no eye for talent!"
"I didn't expect that Lin Yu is so strong at such young age!"
"Hiss! I didn't even know there was someone like Lin Yu in East Sea. Why have I never heard of him before!"
"This guy is very powerful. The big families will probably compete to recruit him! Things are going to change in East Sea!"
Hearing the exclamations coming from all directions, Gu Chenan shrugged with a smile.
He knew the plot, so he was not surprised at all by what was happening now.
There's nothing to say, Gu Chenan had seen this trick no less than a hundred times.
First the protagonist boasts big, provoking contempt from the audience. Then he shows his strength and slaps everyone in the face. Finally the crowd bursts out in shock.
A classic online fiction cliché.
Alright, now that the plot has progressed this far, the climax for this part should come up next!
Lin Yu effortlessly defeats the successor of Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles, shocking everyone again.
"Still the same old and tiring cliché ..."
Gu Chenan sighed and went to sit in the VIP stand.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Mingrui, who had returned earlier, came over and said, "Chen An, this Lin Yu is even stronger now than when he saved me last time!"
"Watch your distance!" Gu Chenan frowned at her snow-white face so close to his.
"You..." Liu Mingrui was furious and about to flare up, but remembered what Elder Liu said, so she just snorted lightly and sat up straight.
Just then, the arrogant and aloof Lin Yu looked back at Gu Chenan in the VIP stand and asked in a loud voice, "Does this mean that I am the champion since no one else is coming onto the stage?"
【What the heck, why are you asking me? 】
【This is the Ye family's competition, ask them!】
Gu Chenan pretended to tidy up his suit cuffs to avoid Lin Yu’s smug and confident gaze.
"Mr. Lin Yu."
At this moment, Ye Wenfei, holding a script, walked over.
"What is it?" Lin Yu asked.
Ye Wenfei said embarrassingly, "There is still one participating candidate left. As long as you can defeat him, then you will be the champion."
Ye Wenfei looked towards the grey-robed man among the crowd and nodded slightly.
The grey-robed man took off his cloak, revealing a horrifying face covered with centipede tattoos. He grinned and walked onto the stage.
As soon as he stood still, he announced his identity, "I am called Lu Renjia. I am the successor of Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles."
As soon as these words came out, the audience below instantly erupted into commotion!
"What! The successor of Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles! Now that this man is out, the championship is settled!"
"That Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles where one needle causes tetanus, two needles sends you to meet your ancestors, and even gods and Buddhas cannot withstand thirteen needles!"
"I can't believe I get to see Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles today, I'm so lucky!"
"No matter how strong Lin Yu is, he has no chance against Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles!"
Hearing these voices, Gu Chenan shook his head.
Here it comes again, starting to draw aggro before the fight. He was aesthetically fatigued from this.
Next, not only did Lin Yu defeat Lu Renjia, he even broke Lu Renjia’s arm. That kind of slap in the face felt awesome.
It's just that this Lu Renjia's name...isn’t it just Random Person A?
The original author is terrible at naming characters.
Among the spectators, Tang Yunjin watched Lu Renjia and Lin Yu solemnly.
Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles was indeed one of the most powerful ancient martial arts, but it was restrained by the Primordial One Qi Exercise passed down in Tang Yunjin’s family.
The moment Lu Renjia stepped out, this match was doomed to his loss, and a miserable one at that.
But if so, then Lin Yu would win the championship!
Tang Yunjin could not accept this outcome!
However, unable to utilize her family's exercises now, what could she do?
She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Yu furiously.
At this moment, Lin Yu sensed Tang Yunjin’s gaze from the crowd. He looked back smugly with raised eyebrows, as if saying, Master, see how powerful I am?
But in Tang Yunjin’s eyes, the meaning of this look changed. She felt that Lin Yu was mocking her.
Mocking her for easily believing others, mocking her for foolishly handing over her family's exercises, mocking her for being a fool.
Lin Yu, you despicable bastard!
Tang Yunjin's whole body trembled as chills ran through her.
...
Soon, the match between Lin Yu and Lu Renjia officially began.
Knowing the outcome, Gu Chenan looked at Ye Wenfei rather pitifully.
Good bro, go in peace. When your seventh day memorial comes, I will burn more paper offerings of big-breasted beauties for you, so you have company down in the yellow springs.
Just as Gu Chenan's thoughts wandered, on the stage Lin Yu had already grabbed Lu Renjia's arm and pressed him firmly under him.
As soon as this scene appeared, the whole audience fell silent.
Some didn't even dare to breathe!
"Do you admit defeat?" Lin Yu asked.
Lu Renjia looked terrified. "No, impossible. Master said only the Primordial One Qi Exercise of the Tang family can rival Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles."
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Lin Yu did not answer this question. He just smiled crookedly and increased the strength in his hand, "I'm asking if you admit defeat or not?"
"You...what is going..."
Before Lu Renjia could finish speaking, there was a crisp "crack" from his arm!
"Ahhh...my hand!"
Upon seeing this scene, the spectators gasped sharply.
Then...buzz!
An uproar!
"Fuck! Lin Yu actually defeated the successor of Ghost Hand Thirteen Needles!"
"Just how terrifying is Lin Yu's strength!"
"Inconceivable, inconceivable!"
"This has really opened my eyes. I thought Lin Yu would definitely lose, didn't expect him to win so easily!"
At the end of the VIP stand, Ye Jinyuan saw this scene and his heart jumped. He closed his eyes painfully.
Below the stage, Ye Wenfei was also stunned on the spot, completely frozen.
...
(From here, our scumbag and jerk Gu Chenan will slowly start to rebel.)
(Of course, only slowly...)
