Chapter 747: The Great God Lin
"Boom——"
Finally, after a single blow, Lin Yun sent Wuo Bei flying off the edge of the ring.
Wuo Bei lost.
"Lin Yun, although I had a feeling I was going to lose, I was still clinging to a sliver of hope. Couldn't you... give me a break? I took part in the Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament right from the start and battled hard to get to where I am now. You have no idea how much effort I put in, and now, it's all over...
How embarrassing my result is..." Wuo Bei looked plaintively at Lin Yun, speaking sorrowfully.
Towards the end, he was even starting to act a little strange.
"Hehe, if I had lost too, I would've had to start over as well, which would be pretty annoying..." Lin Yun hadn't expected that Wuo Bei, with his eccentric and otherworldly genius persona, was actually like this. It reminded him of some amusing personalities he had encountered back on Earth, and he couldn't help feeling amused, chuckling as he spoke.
"If you have to restart, it's just an inconvenience, but for me, there's almost no chance to start over again. It's too difficult to achieve this result again. What if I were to improve and you took an interest in challenging me again, Lin Yun? Wouldn't that make all my effort a waste of time? I'd rather stick to my current score..." Wuo Bei rolled his eyes and replied.
Having spent a long time in battle with Lin Yun, he seemed to have developed an understanding of Lin Yun's reactions, especially as Lin Yun's replies and attitude further validated his impressions of Lin Yun's character. Talking with Lin Yun now felt even more familiar.
"Alright, I promise you that no matter what rank you achieve next time, I definitely won't challenge you again." Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"No more, no more, it's too risky. The current score is good enough. I'm going down now, and I hope you, Lin Yun, will continue your winning streak and get a good score..." Wuo Bei said, shaking his head repeatedly.
Whew!
As he was speaking, he stepped down from the arena.
Besides Lin Yun, there were several more opponents in the tournament that were either on par with or stronger than him. He didn't have confidence in beating them.
Feiying Firestone and Aolai Mubai had already lost and were participating in the second round of the battle.
Seeing the current situation, it seemed that Lin Yun would soon defeat those opponents who were on par with him.
At that time, if he were to rejoin the battle, the chances of him encountering these opponents were very high.
God forbid, if he were to rejoin the battle and lose again shortly thereafter, without sufficient time to participate in a third round of battle, he wouldn't even know where to go to cry.
The time for the first round of this Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament wasn't unlimited, it would soon come to an end.
He didn't have enough time to bet on getting better results in the second or third rounds.
So, it would be better for him not to participate in any more battles and be content with his current result.
Anyway, this was only the first contest. After they were done challenging the Heavenly Principle Tower, there would be a second contest, which would determine the final victory or defeat. It wouldn't be too late for him to take it seriously then.
Now, the result that he had achieved allowed him enough time to challenge the Heavenly Principle Tower.
In fact, that was the most critical reason.
The Wuo family was also considered a major force in the universe, and he had a rough understanding of some of the rules of the Heavenly Principle Fruit tournament. He knew that with the result he had now, he might get a certain amount of time to challenge the Heavenly Principle Tower.
He had tried twice to challenge the Heavenly Principle Tower before, so he could estimate how much time he would need.
Otherwise, he might really participate in the second round of battle.
Although the Wuo family was powerful, it had numerous children. Even though he was an exceptional genius in the Wuo family, there were several other children with higher clan positions. It wasn't easy to get a chance to challenge the Heavenly Principle Tower.
Having previously challenged the Heavenly Principle Tower, he knew very well how precious each opportunity was.
This was the easiest chance to obtain, and he absolutely must not miss it.
The fact that Feiying Firestone and Aolai Mubai participated in the second round of battle probably meant that they knew the time they could gain for challenging the Heavenly Principle Tower with their current result was not enough.
"The... achieved... consecutive victories!"
After Wuo Bei left, one of the referees on the stage where Lin Yun was began to announce loudly.
Whew!
After Lin Yun stepped down from the ring, he quickly selected another opponent and teleported up to their arena.
"Welcome, Lin Yun…"
The contestant's heart skipped a beat, followed by a bitter smile.
Given Lin Yun's current record, there were not many opponents left for him to choose from. His situation was very much in line with Lin Yun's selection criteria, so he had been very nervous, and now his fears were confirmed - Lin Yun had actually chosen him.
"Um..."
Lin Yun was at a loss for words.
He didn't expect that after Wuo Bei addressed him like that, others would follow suit.
Such politeness and innocent expression made him feel slightly embarrassed to fight.
"Let's get started..."
After a pause, Lin Yun spoke, dryly uttering a couple of words.
What else could he do?
They were all participating in the competition, and since the opponent was too, they should've been prepared and adapted to such a situation.
"Wait, wait!"
While the competitor was pondering what to say, hearing Lin Yun's words made his heart skip a beat, calling out quickly.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yun was looking at the competitor.
"Uh, Great Master Lin, could you, perhaps, not use the Bloodthirsty Sword when you fight with me?" this competitor embarrassingly requested.
"About that..."
Lin Yun slightly frowned.
His half step super realm strength had almost adpated in the process of fighting with Wuo Bei.
He no longer needed to go to such lengths...
However, he did realise during the fight with Wuo Bei that he had some areas of improvement which he never noticed while using the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Everyone had their strengths, fighting against other strong competitors, he might also gain some revelations?
With such thoughts, Lin Yun felt slightly tentative.
"I can only assure you that I won't use the Bloodthirsty Sword at the beginning. If you can defeat me before I have a chance to use the Bloodthirsty Sword, I will accept my defeat. How about that?" Finally, Lin Yun looked at the cultivator while smiling.
He wasn't a fool, he had been paying attention to this man's previous fights and was not sure about his strength because he had not revealed much. This man had better combat records than Wuo Bei, presumably, his strength would not be inferior. However, he didn't give his full commitment.
"What?"
At Lin Yun's promise, the cultivator was slightly taken aback.
He never could have imagined that Lin Yun would give such a reply.
He felt a bit disappointed as well as hopeful, which left him in a dilemma.
But soon, he figured it out.
What was there to be confused about?
After watching so many of Lin Yun's fights, he got a good idea about Lin Yun's temperament.
He was easygoing and generally nice.
As long as he didn't provoke Lin Yun beforehand and didn't do anything egregious, he won't face any excessive harm.
So, his Life should not be in jeopardy.
If they fight, he might lose, or he might win.
If they don't fight, he is absolutely going to lose.
Did he have any other choice?
"Thank you, Great Master Lin, thank you, Great Master Lin, this is already very good. I hope Great Master Lin would advise me and show mercy!" Thinking so, the cultivator quickly replied.
Although he really wished for Lin Yun not to use the Bloodthirsty Sword throughout, he knew that would be too unrealistic. Some courtesies needed to be kept.
"You're welcome," Lin Yun replied with a faint smile.
"Great Master Lin, you must be careful..."
On the other side, the cultivator warned again.
"Boom--"
Even before he finished speaking, he had already released a formidable aura, rapidly rushing towards Lin Yun.
"A Body Cultivator?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun's eyes sparkled as he muttered.
Earlier, the stage he was on was far from the one this cultivator was on, there were also two protection layers separating them. Although he noticed that this cultivator had a strong body, he wasn't sure that the cultivator specialized in body cultivation.
Now, it was almost certain.
This was a cultivator with a different cultivation system than Wuo Bei, he hoped that this cultivator could bring him more revelations!
