Chapter 27: Internal Power

Chapter 27: Internal Power

As though they have seen through Lin Yis Sword Art, the senior disciples regained their morale.

A third senior disciple took to the stage, boldly proclaimed: "Junior Brother Lin Yi, I have seen through your bizarre Sword Art, your Sword Art no longer has any effect on me! This time you should look closely, witness how amazing I can be! "

Lin Yi's face was coloured in amusement.

It was seen through?

Then, wordlessly laughed.

What a joke!

Although his own Limitless Skill could not be compared with Solitary Nine Swords, but it was still among the greatest, a top ranking Limitless Skill.

A mere unranked lower courtyard Huashan disciple, boasts of seeing through it?

Even though Falling Sword Style had many more excellent uses, because of his current limitations, could not fully utilize them.

But for dealing with this group of senior disciples

That much is enough!

"Please!"

Lin Yi did not offer any retort, with his one word of `please', was enough to express his total disregard for the senior disciple.

"Very well boy, how truly arrogant, allow me to put you in your place!"

"A junior disciple, should act like a proper junior disciple, learn to stay in line. Don't go wildly sticking out, arrogant and presumptuous, disregarding your elders!"

The third senior disciple who took to the stage, was provoked by Lin Yi's disregarding attitude into utter fury.

With a furious roar.

Directly brandishing his fist, with rippling winds, smashed his fist towards Lin Yi.

"Hmph, I don't even have a sword, let's see how you intend to disarm me!"

The senior disciple was exceedingly proud, satisfied by his cunning.

""

Lin Yi was speechless, as if faced with an imbecile, he gawked at the senior disciple.

Unsheathed his sword.

The long sword coiled around the senior disciple's arm, like a venomous snake, stabbed towards the senior disciple's eyes.

The senior disciple's pupils contracted, his eyes flash with a hint of horror, hurriedly backed up.

Lin Yi sneered, with a flawless thrust kick, planted his foot into the senior disciple's face, with all the strength he could muster in his legs, as though trying to kick the senior disciple's face flat, sending his entire body tumbling into mid-air.

After tumbling into the ground, before he could stand properly.

Lin Yi moved like the wind, in pursuit to finish the kill.

While trampling him with a foot, aimed his sword towards the opponent's skull, a mere paper-thin distance away.

"You've lost!"

Lin Yi glanced at the senior disciple, lightly spoke, then returned his sword into its sheath, and stepped away from the senior disciple.

The senior disciple was half filed with terror, half filled with a mix of shame and anger, dejectedly picked himself up, and left.

He didn't even rejoin the group of senior disciples, but shoved his way through the crowd, disappearing from everyone's view.

"Haha, this is killing me! That senior disciple was way too funny; he actually used his bare fist against Senior Brother Lin, simply retarded. Did he not know that our Huashan is famous for its Sword Arts? Using Fist Arts against Sword Arts, only he could be that crazy! I don't even know, what his brain is made of! "

"The funniest part was, how flipping proud he was of his own wits, thinking that if he didn't use a sword, Senior Brother Lin Yi wouldn't know what to do with him! Its true, Senior Brother Lin Yi could not disarm his sword that was not there, but that doesn't mean Senior Brother Lin Yi cannot trample him underfoot! "

"Let's not speak any further, look at the faces of those senior disciples, they're so red that look like a pig's liver! If we keep talking, they might just die from blowing a gasket!"

"Just what they deserve! Dare to come bully us, messing up our turf, today they get their just deserts, who asked them to take bullying this far? If not for Senior Brother Lin Yi, we would have been shamed to death!"

All the junior disciples laughed uproariously, the smiles on their faces like blossoming flowers, with an endless cacophony of mocking jeers, the ridiculing words paid back in full towards the senior disciples.

The senior disciple's faces were unsightly beyond compare; in the face of such mockery their visages donned the crimson of a monkey's buttocks.

Such an utter disgrace!

Among their ranks, existed someone so mentally crippled!

They were simply unable to give any excuses.

Lin Yi foot planted on that senior disciple's face, was the same as stepping on their faces, feeling their faces burning. Not only was there agony, but shame!

It made them feel like digging a hole and jumping into it.

"Such shame, such humiliation! At this rate, the ten of us will become the laughingstock of the entire lower courtyard."

"I've always wanted to spread my name throughout the lower courtyard, to stir things up, but I never imagined the manner in which we went about doing it, turned out to be like this ."

"Don't sigh anymore, for better or worse we've stirred up the lower courtyard, just as you desired. What do you care how we did it? In any case, our reputation will be spread all over!"

Each and every one of the senior disciples were struck speechless, it was frustrating as it was laughable.

Such an outcome, was absolutely inconceivable to them.

"Alright, alright, no matter what, the fight must go on. I'll not be resigned to believe that this Junior Brother Lin is so formidable, as to be capable enough defeat us all?" One senior disciple said.

The senior disciples collectively nodded, all in favour: "You're right, at this moment we only need to beat down this rascal Lin Yi, in order to wash away the shame upon us!"

"Then what are we waiting for? On with it! Don't give him any time to recuperate, exhaust him to death!"

The senior disciples have reached a consensus, united, they each rejuvenated their spirits in preparation of taking the stage.

"Allow me to test you!"

"Please!"

One senior disciple followed the other, taking to the stage, each giving their all in battle.

Perfected Huashan Sword Arts were put on full display, both offense and defense were simultaneously available, flashing with chilling rays.

Lin Yi was neither flustered nor pressured, with a look of tranquility, yet his Sword Arts were sharp beyond compare, precise and swift, decisively defeating his opponents.

Every one of them were no exception, all were disarmed of their swords, without the slightest effort.

Fourth senior disciple defeated!

Fifth senior disciple defeated!

Sixth senior disciple defeated!

..

Seventh senior disciple defeated!

Eighth senior disciple defeated!

Ninth senior disciple defeated!

Tenth senior disciple defeated!

Ten senior disciples brimming with intimidation, taking turns against Lin Yi with the intention of exhausting him to death, have all been thoroughly defeated!

The envisioned scenario of taking turns against a single opponent, turned out to be nothing but a pipe-dream.

The entire crowd was in a buzz!

All the junior disciples were shouting madly!

"Ha ha, victory, victory! Its Senior Brother Lin Yi's victory!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is too fantastic, so powerful you can't even make heads or tails of it!"

"All the senior disciples were routed, let's see what remains of their reputation, how dare they come to mess about in us junior disciple's turf!"

"From now on, I too can stand tall as a junior disciple, and fight for supremacy against the senior disciples!"

"Don't underestimate us junior disciples, although the time we have spent practicing martial arts may be brief, but we shall not suffer to be overlooked, not just anyone can pick on us!"

"Heheh senior disciples? They're overrated! What's their basis for acting so superior anyway? Looking down on us junior disciples? If they dare to come over and cause a ruckus again, Senior Brother Lin Yi could string them up and beat them any minute, thoroughly abusing them!"

The entire top hundred junior disciples courtyard was filled with the cheers of all the junior disciples, feeling their blood boiling, cheering heartily.

The junior disciples spat, with a `Pei' in order to chase away the senior disciples who came to cause a ruckus.

With the senior disciples gone, Lin Yi disregarded the clamoring junior disciples, returned to his courtyard and quietly checked his earnings, bringing up the system panel.

System Notification: Defeated a senior disciple, awarded 1,000 combat experience points. Defeated a senior disciple, awarded 1,000 combat experience points.

Defeated a senior disciple, awarded 1,000 combat experience points.

Quest Rewards: awarded 3,000 combat experience points. Routed the second wave of provoking senior disciples. Shook up the lower courtyard.

Defeating ten senior disciples, equals ten thousand combat experience points, plus three thousand points from the quest of routing the senior disciples. The earnings today totaled at thirteen thousand combat experience points.

Adding up yesterday's contributions from the three senior disciples at six thousand combat experience points.

In just two short days, Lin Yi unexpectedly received a total of nineteen thousand combat experience points.

Adding up the leftover accumulation of a few thousand more combat experience points from before, Lin Yi met the requirements to raise his Huashan Sword Arts as he had sufficient combat experience points, to Rank Up his Huashan Sword Arts into the realm of transcendence.

But Lin Yi did not do so.

Huashan Sword Arts and Huashan Movement Arts, with mere practice alone, have each reached more than eighty thousand combat experience points, it was quite close to meeting the Rank Up requirements of one hundred thousand combat experience points, only a few steps away.

Just by spending a few days' time, by virtue of practicing martial arts, he will be able to Rank Up into the realm of transcendence.

Using his precious combat experience points to upgrade Huashan Sword Arts, was a bit of a waste.

He needed to save these combat experience points, for something even more useful.

Lin Yi slightly squinted, his eyes exposing the glint of contemplation.

Next, he should start training Internal Power.

A saying in the underground martial world: One who neglects Internal Power, shall never surpass mediocrity!

Towards this saying, Lin Yi has no words of refute.

That was because to qualify as a third-class expert, the basic requirement were to have 70 in both attack and speed attributes.

This was a component of the game system, even though he has transverse into the real world version of the game Great Underground Martial World, that component still existed.

If he neglected Internal Power, and relied solely on things like Sword Arts.

Sterling Silver grade Martial Insight, at its peak of reaching the realm of transcendence, only amounted to 50 attribute points.

While Aurum Gold grade Martial Insight, peaked at 60 points.

Only Purple Gold grade Pinnacle God Arts, practiced to its maximum reached 70 points.

However

Would a Pinnacle God Art be so readily obtainable?

Even if one obtained it, Pinnacle God Arts were not easy to master.

Each and every Pinnacle God Art, had its own set of unique practice requirements, these requirements were exceedingly difficult, especially not something that could be achieved by a person without Internal Power.

That is why, in the underground martial world, there was such a saying, those who neglect to practice Internal Power, shall never surpass mediocrity.

Internal Power, once mastered.

Even with Wrought Iron grade Basic Internal Power Core Arts, the overall attribute points, whether it be offense, defense or speed, will be doubled across the board.

Lin Yi at the moment had an attack attribute of 40 points.

If he practiced Inner Power, it would immediately be doubled, up to 80 points.

Moreover, even the most basic Internal Power Core Arts, of the twelve principle meridians, even clearing one meridian, could even add a 10 point increase to every attribute.

Potentially raising the attack attribute up to 90 points!

The moment he starts training Internal Power, he would immediately rise up into a third class expert!

Lin Yi had decided, to keep accumulating his combat experience points for now.

Waiting for later, to directly use it for training Internal Power.

But the problem he encountered now was how to obtain an Internal Power Core Art?

..

In the lower courtyard, in a courtyard among the top hundred, courtyard number 10.

Shangguan Yun had a dour expression, both eyes flashing with a heart trembling frigidness, muttering only two words: "! Lin Yi"

Below, were the ten senior disciples wearing imposing black clothes who were defeated by Lin Yi, at this moment were standing there trembling, each of them with heads lowered, not daring to look into Shangguan Yun's eyes.

The entire hall, hung with suffocating pressure!

So oppressive that it left one gasping for air.

After a long silence, finally one of the senior disciples who could no longer stand the oppressive atmosphere, quaveringly opened his mouth: "Senior Brother Shangguan, it's like this. Lin Yi's strength far surpassed our expectations. His combat experience exceedingly sophisticated, Sword Arts although in the realm of perfection, however he still had a bizarre sword move, able to disarm the swords right from his opponent's hands! We thought of numerous methods to deal with this trick, but without exception, every single attempt failed. It seems like this move of his, was essentially unsurmountable! "

"Unsurmountable? Hmph!" Shangguan Yun heavily gave a cold snort, his entire face covered in the colour of contempt: "There exists no Skill Style that is unsurmountable, if you can't figure a way to overcome it, there can only mean one thing, every single one of you are completely useless!!"
