《The One and Only》28. Three Moves Already
Advertisement
Once he got too pushy, his body might explode.
So he needed patience to cultivate the power of the evil elixir and then subdue it.
“My heart shelters a fierce tiger which, however, enjoys sniffing roses.” However anxious he felt, however powerful he was, he should have a peaceful heart at the moment.
But it really wore him out.
Time ticked away. Two days had passed.
And the mid-year assessment, an annual big event of Qingyun Sect, had begun.
The drilling field was completely surrounded by all disciples.
On the drilling field, many outer disciples had already begun to compete on the arena according to the drawing.
There were about two to three thousand outer disciples in Qingyun Sect, and all of them were present. What a lively scene!
Everybody looked excited. They’d all do their best.
Whether they could climb higher on the list or whether they could get promoted as an inner disciple would all be decided through this big occasion.
At every corner of the drilling field was gathered a lot of people.
Some had already finished their fights, some were still waiting for their turns. It should be at least over a hundred waiting outside.
On the arena, except the judge, someone had already been on it.
It was the senior outer disciple Liang Wenbo, who had already achieved the sixth level of Martial Practice.
He was in a low profile usually. But no outer disciple would belittle him.
But if that was the only reason, there wouldn’t be so many people gathering here.
“I heard Liang Wenbo’s opponent is Lin Yun?”
“I’ve also heard of that. Liang Wenbo was drawn by lot to fight Lin Yun, but Lin still hasn’t shown up yet.”
“What the hell is wrong with him? He is even late for such a big thing? Seriously? If so, he’ll be taken as giving up for his opportunity.
On seeing Lin Yun was late, all disciples down the arena started to gossip about him.
Liang Wenbo looked a little impatient and asked the judge with his eyebrows knitted, “How long am I gonna wait?”
The judge said in a low voice, “Wait for another half an hour. If Lin Yun still hasn’t showed up by then, I’ll take it as he quits and you will directly advance to the next round.”

“A sword slave is a sword slave.”
Liang Wenbo was very angry and cursed him.
Now everyone started to watch the burning incense outside the arena. Time ticked away. Soon the whole stick of incense was going to burn out. But Lin Yun still didn’t show up.
“I guess I win.”
Liang Wenbo said slightly with a smile on his face.
At this moment, there arouse a turmoil behind the crowd.
“He is here.”
People all looked back.
A delicate young man wearing a robe in blue and white was walking towards the arena through the crowd, looking quite calm.
The young man was Lin Yun who was late.
After getting close to the arena, he directly jumped onto it. He apologized to Liang Wenbo and the judge, “I’m sorry I’m late.”
Liang Wenbo looked quite upset. The sword slave came when the judge was about to announce him to advance to the next round.
The judge said in a low voice, “According to the rules, you’re late for about half an hour, so you can still fight. But you need to let your opponent use three moves first.”
“OK.”
Lin Yun nodded with no objection.
On hearing this, Liang Wenbo smiled slightly, “I didn’t know there’s such rules. Not bad. Lin Yun, I heard that even Chen Xiao the idiot lost to you. But I won’t give you any chance like him. I’m gonna kick your ass today.”
So arrogant! His words were full of provocation and contempt.
But Liang Wenbo indeed had the right to say that.
He was a senior outer disciple, with sixth level of Martial Practice. And his Flying Flower Falling Leaves Swordplay was quite powerful.
“So strange. Why didn’t Lin Yun take a sword with him?”
“I heard he has even made Slight Achievement of the Flowing Wind Swordplay that no one has ever successfully practiced for over a hundred years. Is it for real?”
“Holy crap! I specially come to appreciate the Flowing Wind Swordplay.”
“It could be true. Flowing Wind Swordplay is not so easy to master. Otherwise, why doesn’t he bring a sword with him?”
All the disciples down the arena were wondering why.

“Fight!”
Swoosh!
Right after the judge said the word, Liang Wenbo already pulled out his sword and threw a stab. It was as swift as the wind.
So fast!
All disciples down were amazed by the speed of his sword. They even couldn’t see where the sword really was.
Facing Lin Yun, Liang Wenbo chose to exert all he had unexpectedly.
The backhand Lin Yun took a step back to dodge his sword.
The sword was less than an inch from the tip of his nose. It was really close!
Boom!
The momentum of sixth level burst out, which was nearly reaching the seventh level.
And the momentum of his sword reached another peak with its power increasing.
He threw a chop at a very sharp angle from the bottom up.
Swoosh!
Lin Yun, who could only dodge now, seemed quite passive. Even his robe got cut open before the chest.
He was at an extremely dangerous situation!
“Hell no! Liang Wenbo is so powerful. Besides, he attacked three moves first. Lin Yun is at the edge.”
“His cultivation has nearly reached the seventh level. No wonder he is so arrogant.”
“Flying Flower Swordplay seems so fierce in his hands.”
Only with two moves, Lin Yun was already in a passive position.
“Falling Leaves Flying Flowers! Go to hell!”
With a roar, Liang Wenbo attacked with the third move.
This prick aroused a strong wind. Even his clothes were making some noise. And his hair was also blowing in the wind. And a huge cloud of dust rose.
Looking from afar, it was really like falling leaves and flying flowers on the arena.
“Bravo!”
This prick aroused people’s scream. One had to admit this prick was really amazing.
But while everyone thought Liang Wenbo would stab Lin Yun for sure,
Lin Yun jumped as high as six meters backwards like a wild goose, and then landed exactly at the edge of the arena.
He jumped out of the reach of this prick using his Wild Goose lightness skill, which indeed consumed him a lot of inner power.
“Damn it!”
Liang Wenbo failed his lethal move and his momentum reached its peach due to his extreme anger. While consuming his inner power like crazy, Liang swung his sword, which generated a storm, and tried to push Lin Yun off the arena.
“Three moves already.”
Lin Yun said lightly, seeing Liang Wenbo was pouncing at him, with the dreadful momentum of his sword,
Lin threw a punch without any hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While Lin was throwing his punch, his bones were making kind of booming sound, as loud as the thunder.
And every booming sound of his bones nearly deafened one’s ears. And every booming sound of his bones weakened the momentum on Liang Wenbo.
The more terrifying thing was the momentum of sixth level also burst out on Lin Yun’s body. Among such momentum was mixed with kind of evil spirit no practitioner had.
Swoosh!
The raging sword momentum of Liang Wenbo was totally gone before the more domineering punch of Lin Yun.
Not at the same level at all!
Boom!
Lin smashed his opponent’s sword momentum. And immediately Lin threw another punch.
Without giving Liang Wenbo time to react, he hit Liang on the chest and blew him away over ten meters.
One could hear kind of cracking sound, like ribs fracture.
Boom!
Before Liang pulled back his sword after landing, Lin Yun already rushed to throw the third punch.
He was like a tiger, king of all beasts.
It was the move Tiger Worshipped by All Beasts!
“No…”
With fear flashing in Liang Wenbo’s eyes, he was already thrown out of the arena before he made any sound.
Looking at Liang Wenbo who fell of the arena and looked extremely painful, Lin Yun said with his hands cupped, “Sorry.”
Three punches!
The first punch to smash Liang Wenbo’s sword momentum, the second to break his ribs, and the third to throw him off the arena.
Lin Yun defeated Liang Wenbo with an overwhelming advantage, which made Liang Wenbo who talked big before the fight a joke.
