Chapter 21: Lin Yi enters the stage

Chapter 21: Lin Yi enters the stage

"How come I don't see him? Could it be that your so-called Senior Brother Lin Yi, after seeing our might, feared and afraid to come out?"

"Hahaha!"

The old disciple on the stage laughed unbridledly. Even the old disciples below the stage chuckled, trace of mockery flashed past their eyes.

Thoughts of disdain could be seen in a glance.

"You bastards, just you wait, stay there if you have guts! I will go and call Senior Brother Lin Yi right now!"

Jiang Xiaoyu's pair of eyes seemed to spit out fire. He was enraged to the point of almost exploding.

"Just you wait"

He rushed to the first courtyard in a huff.

"I will wait right here and see how many brushes does your Senior Brother Lin Yi have?" The old disciple on the stage laughed with disdain, then he raised his right hand and showed his middle finger, indicating disdain.

The other two old disciples looked at each other and let out a meaningful smile.

The purpose for them to put up so much efforts and enraging the new disciples was precisely to draw out Lin Yi.

Senior Brother Shangguan had ordered to suppress the new disciples well. It would be the best if they could suppress those outstanding new disciples until they lost their confidence.

.

At the backyard of the first courtyard, Lin Yi was concentrating on his practice.

Time flies when he was fully concentrated in his practice. His gains were gratifying too.

Two of his silver grade martial arts, Huashan Swordplay and Huashan Movement Technique, had reached 80,000 experience points. Each of them only needed 20,000 experience points more to reach perfection stage.

Similarly, his Basic Arts of Lightness, Basic Fist Technique, and Basic Blade Techniques had reached advanced stage.

Compared to silver grade martial arts, practicing iron grade martial arts was much easier.

The moves were simple and there were not many subtle moves.

It could be described as adept and skilled.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, something bad has happened!"

It was at this moment, Jiang Xiaoyu's anxious voice resounded.

"Hm?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly. He stopped his practice, sheathed his sword, and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu who came in fluster.

"What has happened? To be able to make you fluster like this? Didn't I tell you before, even if the evil cults invade, there's still Huashan's experts who will hold them off!"

Jiang Xiaoyu secretly protruded his tongue.

Senior Brother Lin Yi was powerful indeed. His vision was so far-fetching. To think he could think of the invasion of evil cults.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, he felt being taunted by the old disciples was just a minor issue. To disturb Senior Brother Lin Yi's practice for such a minor thing, somehow it didn't feel right, right?

Thus, he became shilly shally and unable to utter out words.

"What has happened? Just say it. What are you shilly-shallying like a lady for?" Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's behavior, Lin Yi frowned again.

Well, since Senior Brother Lin even described me as a lady, I'd better say it.

Jiang Xiaoyu mustered his courage and said, "Three old disciples came and set up a stage in front of the independent courtyards. They said they wanted to teach us how to behave properly and spat out my insults. Everyone is enraged. They only sent out one person from then and managed to defeat all of us!"

"I and Yu Hai have went up but were defeated. Even Han Bai was defeated!"

"Everyone is waiting for Senior Brother Lin Yi to go up on the stage now, to defeat these old disciples and avenge us!"

Finishing his words in one breathe, Jiang Xiaoyu's face had reddened. He felt he had shamed and disgraced Senior Brother Lin Yi.

He lowered his head, fearing Senior Brother Lin Yi would be enraged and yelled at him.

He took a glance cautiously.

Huh?

Something was wrong!

Senior Brother Lin Yi's expression was completely wrong!

Jiang Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. He found out that Senior Brother Lin Yi didn't become angry like what he had imagined.

Instead, he smiled!

He seemed to be smiling happily!

What was this situation?

Jiang Xiaoyu felt like his intelligence wasn't responding at all.

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't see wrongly. Lin Yi did smile.

And he smiled happily at that.

Lin Yi's thoughts were different from Jiang Xiaoyu's.  He didn't find anything wrong with old disciples trying to enrage new disciples. What was he thinking now was, since this group of old disciples was so fierce, if he went up and defeated them,

His reputation would surely increase by a lot, right?

As reputation increased, he would obtain experience.

The old disciples had turned into humanoid combat experience points.

They were practically sending experience to him.

How could Lin Yi be unhappy?

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Lin Yi took his sword and prepared to leave. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu who was still in daze, he couldn't help but shouted at him and pulled him.

"Ooo!"

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded dazedly as his mind was still stuck on Lin Yi's strange smile.

Too strange!

After hearing that old disciples came to bully new disciples, why did Senior Brother Lin Yi, instead of being angry, but became happy instead?

He followed Senior Brother Lin Yi foolishly and walked out from the courtyard's gate. Only after hearing the cheering from those new disciples, Jiang Xiaoyu awakened.

"Ah, ah, Senior Brother Lin Yi has appeared!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is going to avenge us!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, please display your divine might and take care of these old disciples!"

"Yeah, yeah! These old guys are too bullying. Senior Brother Lin Yi, you must defeat them!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, don't you disappoint us!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, the reputation of our generation will depend on you now!"

After seeing Lin Yi, these new disciples seemed to have found their parents and began to pour out the grievances. Each of them shouted and asked Lin Yi to avenge them.

Lin Yi smiled slightly. His hands made press down' motion. Everyone became silent, listening to his speech.

"Rest assured, everyone. I, Lin Yi will surely beat them down and send them back so that those old disciples know that we, the new disciples, are not easy to be bullied!"

Boom!

The new disciples were heated up.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, good job!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, I love you!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, mighty and domineering!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, you are so great!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, you are indeed the first among top hundred. You are our hero!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, all of us support you!"

From the moment Lin Yi appeared, the new disciples had heated up. After hearing Lin Yi's comfort, the new disciples were thrilled and regained their confidence.

Three old disciples looked at each other and nodded slightly. Each of them showed dignified expression.

This Lin Yi wasn't someone ordinary indeed.

He could produce clouds with a turn of his hand and rain with another.

No wonder Senior Brother Shangguan would fear him so much and was so eager to suppress him.

If he managed to rise, where would be the position for Senior Brother Shangguan?

It seemed like by then, Senior Brother Shangguan could only let out his position as one of the top ten.

The top ten from lower courtyard had ninety percents of probability to enter upper courtyard.

If he gave out his position as one of the top ten, then the possibility of entering upper courtyard would become dimmer.

Seeing Lin Yi's performance, Han Bai showed a trace of admiration.

Only Lin Yi had this kind of reputation.

Only Lin Yi could be loved by new disciples so much.

Even Han Bai could not accomplish this!

It seemed like if Lin Yi managed to defeat those three old disciples, all new disciples would be converted into Lin Yi's followers, right?

Han Bai sighed in his heart. He felt the distance between him and Lin Yi was getting further and further.

Furthermore, he seemed to have seen a lot of things.

He suddenly thought of the rumor that the position of head disciple would be made available.

Han Bai suddenly started!

This Lin Yi Could it be that he was coveting that position?

Otherwise, why would he try to win public support?

The thought of this made Han Bai feel extremely complex.

.

"You are Lin Yi? I have heard rumors regarding you these past few days, like thunder piercing the ears[1]! Now that I see personally, seems like the real you are even more shocking compared to the rumors."

Lin Yi had just stepped up on the stage, the old disciple had started speaking while gazing at him.

"A mere nickname, it's not worth mentioning."

"It's better if we start right away!"

Lin Yi wanted to get his hands on the experience points, so he didn't have much patience to hear the old disciple nagging.

"You! Don't be too arrogant!"

The old disciple was enraged. He was thoroughly pissed off by Lin Yi's attitude.

To think he would be ignored like this!

A mere new disciple dared to treat him as a mere passerby!

"Hm? Weren't you guys looked for me in a hurry to fight me?"

Lin Yi stroke his nose and said innocently. He was sneering in his heart though. How could he be unable to see through their intent?

They were clearly trying to suppress to new disciples so that the new disciples wouldn't be able to pose a threat to old disciples' opportunity to enter upper courtyard.

In order to enter upper courtyard, these old disciples were really putting in their efforts.

They were simply shameless. To think they would make things difficult for new disciples who had only practiced martial arts for a month.

However, the idea of these old disciples perfectly fitted Lin Yi's appetite.

The old disciples wanted to suppress the new disciples. Yet how could Lin Yi didn't want to use these old disciples to grind experience and reputation?

By defeating these old disciples, not only he could win the hearts of ten thousand or so new disciples, he could also gain big reputation within lower courtyard.

Lin Yi was very willing to do this kind of thing.

Of course he wouldn't say it.

He still needed the cooperation from the these old disciples.

It would be the best if couple of groups of old disciples would come again. If top hundred lower courtyard disciples appeared, that would be even better.

By this way, he could cause uproar within the entire lower courtyard and the probability of grabbing Huashan's upper echelons' attentions would be higher.

To wait patiently in lower courtyard for four years before entering upper courtyard.

Lin Yi didn't have to time to wait patiently. He couldn't afford it.

The chaotic warring period was approaching.

He wanted to enter upper courtyard as soon as possible.

Only by entering upper courtyard, he could learn better martial arts.

Only by then, he could increase his life insurance capital during the chaotic warring period.

"Lin Yi, you are too arrogant! I will teach you, this rookie, how to behave properly!"

The old disciple was enraged by Lin Yi's innocent look and shouted in anger. Afterwards he drew his sword and attacked immediately.

He didn't care about his image as an old disciple anymore. He only wanted to beat Lin Yi down and severely step on that innocent look of his.

Who let you be innocent, who let you ignore me, who let you disrespect us, the old disciples!

The old disciple roared angrily in his heart. His anger was boiling in his chest.

He seemed as if an enraged tiger king who launched storm-like attacks towards Lin Yi.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

"What did Senior Brother Lin Yi said to him? How come the old disciple seems like a cat which had its tail stepped on and enraged thoroughly?"

"Hm, Senior Brother Lin Yi is powerful indeed. He is so good at attracting hatred!"

"How do you explain this?" A man was completely puzzled.

"Hehe, the old disciple is angry so he won't be able to keep his calm. It is a taboo to lose one's calm during a fight. Once their emotion is out of control, they will show more openings. That's why Senior Brother Lin Yi is powerful. He is able to enrage the old disciple right when the fight started. This match will surely end in Senior Brother Lin Yi's victory!"

The crowd seemed to be enlightened and gave out looks of admiration, "Senior Brother Lin Yi is so powerful. To think his words contained such deep meanings."

Lin Yi didn't care about the misunderstanding by the new disciples.

Seeing the attack by the old disciple, Lin Yi let out a "yi" sound.

This old disciple's Huashan Swordplay had actually reached advanced stage!
