150: You have three defeats

“Then how did you know that by waiting here, you would encounter Lin Yang?” Lin Yang asked curiously.

“I didn’t know. But I had nowhere else to go, so I could only wait for him here,” Ji Kunchang said seriously.

Lin Yang: “...”

Holy crap.

What a simple and unpretentious reason.

“Then you’re probably going to be greatly disappointed,” Lin Yang said, shaking his head slightly.

“What? Lin Yang won’t come here!?”

Hearing Lin Yang’s sigh, Ji Kunchang paused slightly, his brows furrowed.

“Impossible, I remember the intelligence said that this is the cultivation place of Lin Yang’s fiancée. How could he not come...?”

“Alas, your intelligence is too outdated. This place has turned into a desolate ruin. What would Lin Yang, as the Saint of the Holy Emperor Sect, come to such a godforsaken place for?” Lin Yang said.

“What!? Then what should I do?”

Ji Kunchang was startled by the news and quickly asked, “May I ask, Your Excellency, if you know where I can find Lin Yang and avoid the gaze of the Holy Emperor Sect’s Great Emperor?”

“I want to fight him fairly, without any external interference, and see who is stronger!”

Seeing the inquiring look in Ji Kunchang’s eyes, Lin Yang smiled earnestly and nodded, saying, “You’ve asked the right person!”

“Your Excellency, have you ever heard of a strategy called 'Luring the Dragon out of its Lair'?”

“Luring the Dragon out of its Lair? Isn’t it 'Luring the Snake out of its Lair'?” Ji Kunchang asked, puzzled.

“Hmm... quite cultured. Ahem, Lin Yang is a Prodigy from the Lower Realm who beat up your Supreme brother and Great Emperor Old Ancestor. How can the word 'snake' be worthy of him?” Lin Yang said seriously.

“Hmm, you make a good point. Please continue.”

Ji Kunchang nodded slightly; it was indeed more appropriate to use 'Luring the Dragon out of its Lair'.

“If you want Lin Yang to show up and fight you fairly, the method is actually very simple.”

Lin Yang smiled slightly and paused.

“I’d like to hear the details!”

Ji Kunchang’s eyes gleamed.

“Think about it, Lin Yang is the leader of the younger generation in the Lower Realm; he’s most likely someone who loves to compete and win!”

“Thus, Fellow Daoist, as long as you prove that you are stronger than Lin Yang! Then, you won’t need to find him; Lin Yang will naturally seek you out, determined to settle the score with you!”

Lin Yang patiently explained.

“So that’s how it is. Listening to your words is like seeing the sun after the clouds part; it has truly enlightened me!”

Ji Kunchang suddenly understood, feeling that Lin Yang’s words made a lot of sense.

But then, he became confused again.

“But how can I let Lin Yang know that I am stronger than him?” Ji Kunchang then asked for advice.

After a moment of thought, Lin Yang said faintly, “Lin Yang could beat up your Great Emperor Old Ancestor. Can you do that?”

“This...”

Ji Kunchang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: “Probably not.”

That was his beloved Old Ancestor; wouldn't it be an act of great impiety for him to hit the Old Ancestor?

Even if he wanted to hit him... he couldn't win anyway.

Seeing Ji Kunchang shake his head, Lin Yang said earnestly, “Thus, Lin Yang has already won against you once!”

“Please continue, Brother. I believe there must be something about me that is stronger than Lin Yang!”

Hearing that he had already lost a round before even meeting Lin Yang, Ji Kunchang’s expression became a bit more serious.

He secretly muttered to himself that Lin Yang was indeed a formidable opponent!

“Alright then. As far as I know, Lin Yang was born with a Saint Body, possesses unparalleled talent, and is revered among his peers. Does Your Excellency have anything on you that can rival a Saint Body?” Lin Yang said.

“Heh heh, I’m definitely stronger than him in this regard. Fellow Daoist, just look!”

After hearing this, Ji Kunchang smiled and pointed to his own eyes for Lin Yang.

Buzz!

The next moment, Ji Kunchang’s eyes lit up, and another pupil actually grew within each of his pupils.

The two pupils rotated in his eyes, like two stars intertwining, which was very strange.

This was, a Dual Pupil!

“You are a Dual Pupil user!”

Lin Yang was slightly surprised.

Dual Pupil users are rare throughout history, and there has always been a myth of the undefeated Dual Pupil.

To some extent, the rarity of a Dual Pupil user even surpasses that of a Saint Body.

He never expected that Ji Kunchang, right before his eyes, was a Dual Pupil user!

“How about it, Fellow Daoist? My Dual Pupil should be stronger than Lin Yang’s Saint Body, right?” Ji Kunchang asked with a smile.

Lin Yang: “...”

“Not so, not so.”

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yang sighed lightly and shook his head again.

“What? Is a Dual Pupil not even better than a Saint Body? At the very least, it should be a draw, right?”

Seeing Lin Yang shake his head, Ji Kunchang felt puzzled.

“Heh heh, that’s not quite the case,” Lin Yang said with a smile.

“Then why?” Ji Kunchang became even more confused upon hearing this.

“Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten your naturally born Supreme brother?”

Lin Yang smiled faintly.

“After he died, the Supreme Bone fell into Lin Yang’s hands.”

“The current Lin Yang is an unrivaled individual of his generation with both a Saint Body and a Supreme Bone! And you, my friend, you only have a pair of Dual Pupils. In this comparison, Lin Yang is naturally still superior.”

Hearing Lin Yang’s words, Ji Kunchang’s expression suddenly changed, and then he nodded slightly.

“That damned brother of mine! To think he made me lose another point to Lin Yang, truly detestable to the extreme, he deserved to die!”

“Indeed, thus, that Saint Lin Yang has already won against you twice, Brother,” Lin Yang said with emotion.

“Fellow Daoist, please continue. I refuse to believe that I am inferior to Lin Yang!”

Hearing that he had already lost two rounds before even fighting, Ji Kunchang’s expression became even more severe.

He secretly grumbled that Lin Yang was indeed a formidable opponent!

“Lin Yang has been betrothed since childhood, with a childhood sweetheart by his side, growing up together. May I ask, Fellow Daoist, if you have a betrothal?” Lin Yang asked again.

“This... what does that have to do with who is stronger, me or Lin Yang?”

Ji Kunchang’s face froze, utterly bewildered.

What did comparing his and Lin Yang’s strengths have to do with whether or not he had a betrothal?

“Of course it’s related! Charm is a man’s invisible strength. If you don’t have a betrothed, it means your charm isn’t as strong as Lin Yang’s. In other words, doesn’t that mean you’re inferior to Lin Yang?”

“It’s that serious?” Ji Kunchang was shocked.

“Extremely serious!” Lin Yang nodded.

“But... I’m used to being alone and really can’t find a suitable betrothed.”

Ji Kunchang’s brows were tightly furrowed, his face filled with a wistful expression.

“Alas, Brother, it seems you’ve lost again.”

Lin Yang shook his head helplessly and sighed:

“You and Lin Yang haven’t even met, yet you’ve already suffered these three losses, while Lin Yang has had no losses. This is your fourth loss!”

“Is the gap between me and Lin Yang really that great!?”

Hearing Lin Yang’s coherent analysis, Ji Kunchang’s face turned pale, his heart filled with extreme frustration.

He hadn’t even met him, yet he had already suffered four losses!

If he really met Lin Yang, what would he use to defeat him?

“No wonder even Old Ancestor returned in such a sorry state from the Lower Realm; this Lin Yang is truly unfathomable...”

Ji Kunchang took a deep breath, his heart shaken for a moment, then he grabbed Lin Yang’s hand with a grateful expression and said, “Brother, fortunately, I met you first, and not Lin Yang. Otherwise, my life would have been over!”
