Chapter 295: Chapter 232: Whirlwind (15)

Xuanyin Taoist had dedicated his life to bravery and diligent progress, always striving for the day he could own a ley line.

He had encountered many opponents, but he had never met someone as young and terrifyingly powerful as Lin Xing.

And the thought that his defeat had once again distanced him from his goal of acquiring a ley line made him sigh uncontrollably.

Xuanyin Taoist said to Lin Xing, "I’ve exerted my full strength, yet I’m still no match for you. I’ve lost this game."

Having said that, he packed up the scene in front of him and turned to walk out of the Demonstration Martial Arts Arena.

Lin Xing didn’t expect the opponent to concede so straightforwardly.

He watched Xuanyin Taoist, who was filled with an air of dejection, and thought to himself, "Looking at Xuanyin Taoist’s demeanor, he obviously places great importance on the victory of this martial arts competition. Was he instructed by someone to ensure my elimination?"

Meanwhile, the hundreds of sword clouds in the sky lost the support of Lin Xing’s power and quickly began to shrink, warp, and ultimately turned into a sky full of loose grass, dissipating into the air.

As Lin Xing left the Martial Arts Battle Field, a large crowd of reporters soon swarmed towards him.

This time, Lin Xing wasn’t in a rush as he had been before, and considering that he now needed to enhance his international influence to help Xia Country gain more influence at the Inter-Realm Conference, he patiently accepted the interviews from the reporters.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations on defeating Xuanyin Taoist and successfully becoming one of the top four competitors in the martial arts. As the only modern-day competitor in this event, did you foresee reaching this achievement before participating?"

Lin Xing nodded and said, "My original goal was to be the first in martial arts and then challenge the Xingxiao Sect Leader."

The reporters buzzed with excitement upon hearing Lin Xing’s response.

A blonde reporter asked, "Lin Xing, do you think that all the martial arts competitors are weaker than you? Is there no one who can defeat you?"

Lin Xing pondered for a moment, thinking to himself that he was only one stage away from completely mastering the "Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique," which would bring him very close to the third inheritance.

His progress through the Sword Hero’s legacy, including the transformation of skills, the sublimation of second inheritances, the solidification of scenes, and the cultivation of the "Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique," had made him invincible in the realm of second inheritance.

He estimated that others would need to go back and train up to the third inheritance if they wanted to defeat him.

Thus, Lin Xing candidly stated, "Every participant in the martial arts is indeed a standout from various powers, a master among masters, but there is still a qualitative gap between them and the current me."

"If they want to defeat me, they might need to go through five to ten years of arduous cultivation."

The reporters were taken aback by Lin Xing’s frank words, feeling that Lin Xing seemed a bit too arrogant.

And Lin Xing’s interview was quickly broadcasted across various platforms, stirring up controversy on the internet.

...

At the commentator’s desk, Hui Ling said with some awkwardness upon hearing Lin Xing’s interview, "Senior brother, what do you think about Lin Xing’s words? Are they too optimistic?"

Du Kong shook his head and said, "Let’s replay the slow motion from just now."

"Look at the clump of wild grass Lin Xing caught."

"The wild grass turned into a flying sword’s power in the blink of an eye in his hand, and it embodied both hardness and softness, with endless transformations."

"Especially these moves, look at how Xuanyin Taoist’s thunder was blocked. That grass is just like it has become a 200-year-old magical treasure."

"And when the grass was blocking the thunder, it could still swell and change its shape."

"Later it even split into more than a hundred pieces."

"Each of the things I just pointed out is extremely difficult, and to do them all at once is even more so."

"Yet Lin Xing managed to do just that."

"I originally thought his manipulation of sand and earth was a Five Elements Taoist Skill. Now it seems that I was greatly mistaken; it must be an extremely powerful technique."

Du Kong sighed, "Lin Xing indeed has a good chance to win the championship in martial arts."

Hui Ling nodded in agreement, but deep down she knew it wasn’t that simple, "Even Xuanyin has lost; I wonder how the Xingxiao Sect Leader and my fellow Buddhists will deal with Lin Xing next."

Though the days of martial arts were lively and all the competitors were gaining popularity in the modern world,

Hui Ling knew that whether it was martial arts or the Inter-Realm Conference, the real powers didn’t lie with the martial arts competitors.

...

On another side of the Martial Arts Battle Field,

Fan Mingxiu from the new government said in surprise, "This Divine Weapon that Lin Xing has is so dominant, even ordinary weeds in his hands can become divine instruments."

Then, upon seeing Lin Xing’s interview, Fan Mingxiu frowned and said, "Arrogant."

At that moment, he turned to discuss Lin Xing with Xia Jianlong.

But he saw Xia Jianlong sitting on the ground, pale-faced, muttering, "Lost, actually lost."

Convinced that Lin Xing would undoubtedly lose this martial arts match today, Xia Jianlong had placed heavy bids on the betting platform and even diverted some of the Divine Dragon Gang’s funds from the modern world.

With Lin Xing’s victory, however, he had suffered a huge loss, feeling as though his heart was bleeding.
