Chapter 1714: Chapter 1713: Lin Dong Returns

Zhang Cai is currently feeling a profound shock in her heart; she always thought martial artists were just so-so.

To big shots in the entertainment circles like General Wu Ming and President Xiao Ya, martial artists were only suitable to be their bodyguards.

In her eyes, martial artists were merely brutes, good for nothing but their brawn.

However, now she realizes she might just be a frog at the bottom of the well. Truly powerful martial artists are not at all what she had imagined.

Even influential figures in the entertainment world like General Wu Ming and President Xiao Ya, worth several hundred billion, must serve them.

"Dad, are martial artists really that formidable?" Zhang Cai can’t help but ask her father.

Zhang Lun’s heart fills with joy, as his daughter seems to finally recognize the glory of being a martial artist.

However, her understanding still needs some adjustment.

Zhang Lun says to his daughter, Zhang Cai, "Little Cai, it’s not that martial artists are formidable, but that martial artists like Master Lin are formidable."

"Martial artists like your dad are only of medium level among national martial artists. If you compare your dad, with a medium level strength, to top entertainment figures like number one sister Xiao Ya and number two brother Wu Ming, your dad certainly can’t compete."

"But remember, your dad is only of medium level among martial artists. It’s simply not reasonable to compare the top entertainment figures to your dad."

"They are second to none in the entertainment industry, thus if there’s to be a comparison, it should be with the best among martial artists!"

"And in our Dragon Country, the best martial artists are existences like Master Lin. Not to mention competing with top martial artists like Master Lin, even comparing these entertainment moguls to slightly lesser figures like Old Dong and the top 20 of the Dragon Rankings, they wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to them!"

"Even some of the lesser nobles from Martial World Families can easily suppress them."

"Among martial artists, anyone who can make it onto the Dragon Rankings can’t be mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Wu Ming and Xiao Ya you speak of!"

"Even if your father were to break through to the Half-Step Earth Realm, or be favored by Master Lin, Wu Ming and Xiao Ya would have to treat your father with utmost politeness!"

Hearing her father’s speech, Zhang Cai mutters, "It seems that previously, my perspective was too narrow. My view of martial artists only saw East Sea."

Zhang Lun laughingly said: "It’s because the upper limit of martial artists in your view is constricted to me, a Sect Master. But when you look at the upper limit of other industries, you consider the whole nation, even the entire world."

"However, in the information era, it’s not your fault. Martial artists aren’t as high-profile as business giants, stars, and internet celebrities on the internet. So, you can only see their glamorous side, thinking wealth, fame, and adoration are the King’s Way of society. However, it’s merely that martial artists are more low-key than them."

"If we really talk about social status, those business giants, stars, and internet celebrities aren’t fit to be compared with martial artists. Not to mention the most elite martial artists like Master Lin, but even people like Old Dong, among the top 20 of the Dragon Rankings, any one of them can match their very best..."

Hearing this, Zhang Cai can’t help but ask, "Dad, why should they, people with so much wealth as business giants, bow down to you martial artists?"

"Why? Hahaha..." Zhang Lun hears this question and bursts out laughing.

Then, his expression suddenly becomes serious, and he replies solemnly: "Because of the power in martial artists’ hands to control the life and death of others."

Zhang Cai pouts, "Rich people hire superb bodyguards, buy high-tech defense armor, even missiles. No matter how strong you martial artists are, why should they fear you?"

"You martial artists want to kill them, they simply fire a missile and blow you away."

"Dad, can you withstand a missile?"

Upon hearing his daughter’s question, Zhang Lun shakes his head, "Of course I can’t withstand a missile. With my Sect Master strength, I can only block bullets. Even sniper bullets are somewhat difficult to deflect, let alone a missile."

"There you have it..." Zhang Cai rolls her eyes.

Zhang Lun shakes his head, finding it difficult to change his daughter’s mindset with words alone.

Despite her young age, her thoughts seemed to be quite entrenched.

Shaking his head, Zhang Lun doesn’t elaborate further but instead says, "If you get the chance to see Master Lin... Oh no, even just to see someone like Old Dong in action, you would understand how naive your previous thoughts were."

In her heart, Zhang Cai secretly thought: "I refuse to believe that martial artists, no matter how powerful, can trump the weathy and powerful of Dragon Country’s richest man..."

And at this moment, more and more people are gathering here.

They are mostly people that Zhang Cai does not recognize.

And it was at this time, from across the sea, a message was sent.

"Master Lin is now one hundred li from the East Sea."

The one responsible for communicating this was a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy, and they all looked towards the sea.

Three minutes after the message was sent, everyone saw a youth walking on the sea, accompanied by a woman as beautiful as a fairy and an elderly man with the appearance of a child and crane-like hair.

Seeing the youth appear, everyone’s faces showed a look of reverence.

Zhang Lun was like he had encountered a deity, his face displaying an extremely respectful look.

Zhang Cai couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, is that youth you mentioned Master Lin?"

Zhang Lun nodded, "Yes, that’s Master Lin!"

"He is quite handsome indeed, even more so than the male stars I’m after," said Zhang Cai.

Zhang Lun laughed and said, "You only see his looks? Did you not notice that the person who sent the message said Master Lin was a hundred li away from us?"

"And now he has appeared, and it’s only been three minutes. Three minutes to cover one hundred kilometers on the sea. Could this speed possibly compare to that of a missile?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cai’s expression changed, and it was only after her father’s reminder that she realized this point.

"One hundred kilometers in only three minutes. That means an hour would equate to two thousand kilometers per hour. This... This is impossible, this speed, not even missiles can catch up," Zhang Cai said incredulously.

"Could it be that the messenger made a mistake?"

Zhang Lun snorted coldly, "That messenger is an elder from the Martial Union Headquarters. With Half-Step Earth Realm’s strength, how could he speak rashly? These words, it’s okay to say just between us. If the other party heard it, that could be troublesome."

Zhang Cai stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more.

At this moment, she looked towards the youth coming ashore from the sea.

Despite his simple clothing, they could not conceal his majestic elegance, and most importantly, his demeanor. That kind of demeanor was incomparable to those male stars she admired.

Such an aura, like that of a sovereign ruling over the world, involuntarily inspired a sense of looking up to him.

"Martial Arbitration Union’s officer Dong Tiancheng, on behalf of the Arbitrator Alliance, cordially welcomes Head Lin on his triumphant return to the country!" Old Dong was the first to bow to Lin Dong from afar, receiving Lin Dong back to the homeland.

Following that, other voices rose one after another.

"Demon City Martial Arts Family of the Zhao Family, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"Richest man in Demon City, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"Richest man in the South, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"Dragon Country’s richest man, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"President of the Dragon Country Martial Arts Association, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"Esteemed leader of the South, cordially welcomes Master Lin on his triumphant return to the country!"

"..."

Whoosh!!!

Hearing these self-introduced powerhouses, Zhang Cai was completely astounded.

Those present, rich enough to rival countries and with vast powers, were all paying their respects to this young Master Lin who was walking back from the sea, welcoming his victorious return.

"Why? What exactly warrants this?" Zhang Cai still didn’t understand. Could he alone counterbalance the vast wealth and overwhelming power?
