59: Because I want Lin Yi to kill him with his own hands!
"Release them, or die!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned, but then he smiled.
As expected of the peerless Prodigy ranked second on the qingzhou latent dragon branch ranking and thirty-first on the nine provinces latent dragon general ranking, his words are indeed domineering!
The dignified Big Boss of Qingfeng Stockade, a Martial Artist at the Peak of Martial Dao Third Rank, was actually like an ant in his eyes, his life or death decided in a single thought!
He wondered when he would be able to reach Senior Brother Jiang's level of strength, also appearing on the nine provinces latent dragon ranking and treating a Third-Rank Martial Artist like an ant.
Thinking of that scene, even with Lin Yi's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing at this moment.
"Haha, Lin Yi, are you envious?"
Seeing Lin Yi's expression, on the other side, Zhao Haihong seemed to have seen through Lin Yi's thoughts and said with a smile:
"No need to be envious. You were able to progress from a little guy who hadn't even touched the threshold of Extreme Strength to successfully comprehending the level of Limit Breaking in just over half a year. Even if your talent isn't as good as Wu Han's, it's still at the very top among the Geniuses of our Heavenly Mountain Sect's younger generation."
"In the future, if you enter the Tianshan Pavilion and have the cultivation of the Tianshan Pavilion, you will also have the hope of appearing on the nine provinces latent dragon ranking! You will also be one of the top Prodigies in our entire Jiuzhou World!"
"Oh, Tianshan Pavilion, what is that? It can actually help me get on the nine provinces latent dragon ranking?"
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Lin Yi asked curiously.
And Zhao Haihong continued to explain:
"Tianshan Pavilion is a place specifically for cultivating martial arts Geniuses, created by our Heavenly Mountain Sect's Ancestral Master."
"Inside the Pavilion, there are several martial emperors relics that are countless times more powerful than the Red Dragon Pool. Each one is incredibly Heaven-Defying, so its ability to cultivate Geniuses is also extremely strong. Even compared to the places specifically for cultivating Geniuses in Holy Land-level forces like the Daoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, or Wanxiang Tower, it's not much different."
"Even among the Holy Land-level forces that have a good relationship with our Heavenly Mountain Sect, those Geniuses who are slightly lower than the top Geniuses of the Holy Lands, as well as the top Geniuses within the major provincial forces like the Zijing Merchant Guild and Wanlong Chamber of Commerce, all want to enter our Heavenly Mountain Sect's Tianshan Pavilion to practice."
"What! So powerful!"
Lin Yi was shocked in his heart, then thinking of himself, he quickly asked:
"Since this Tianshan Pavilion is so powerful, the slots for practicing in it should be quite precious, right? With my current performance, Dean, do you think I can enter?"
"After all, I remember you saying, Dean, that since the incident with Long Tianhong, the Heavenly Mountain Sect has always looked at a Martial Artist's current strength rather than their rate of progress. With my current strength, I wonder if it's enough?"
"It's enough! And it's far beyond enough!"
Zhao Haihong nodded with a smile:
"Lin Yi, don't underestimate yourself. You should know that breaking through to Limit Breaking at the age of fifteen is rare even within the Tianshan Pavilion."
"And although the slots for practicing in the Tianshan Pavilion are few, there are only twenty every year."
"Furthermore, out of these twenty slots, half are given to those major forces in exchange for resources. Of the remaining half, another half is divided among the major Families and sects within our Heavenly Mountain Sect. Only five slots are released for the Martial Academies of the Eight Prefectures under the Heavenly Mountain Sect to compete for."
"But generally speaking, no matter how fierce the competition among the Eight Prefectures' Martial Academies is, if one's Martial Cultivation reaches the Fifth Rank Early Stage, their Martial Arts Techniques Realm reaches Fourth Grade Martial Art Great Perfection, and then their Force Exertion Realm reaches Extreme Strength Perfection, they can basically make it."
"And Lin Yi, your strength is at the Fifth Rank Early Stage in Martial Cultivation, and your Martial Arts Techniques Realm is at Fourth Grade Martial Art Great Perfection. Both of these meet the qualifying line. As for your Force Exertion Realm, it far exceeds the standard, reaching the level of Limit Breaking!"
"With such strength, entering the Tianshan Pavilion is definitely easy. Plus, with my recommendation, you might not even need to undergo an assessment to enter directly."
"Phew! In that case, I'll have to trouble you to recommend me, Dean."
"However, I wonder if your recommendation is successful, when will I join the Tianshan Pavilion?"
Lin Yi first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then asked again.
To be honest, he didn't want to join the Tianshan Pavilion too early. After all, it wasn't easy to save his parents this time, and Lin Yi wanted to spend some time with them before heading to the Heavenly Mountain Sect.
If he entered the Tianshan Pavilion too quickly, Lin Yi would feel a bit bad.
"The Disciples recruited by the Tianshan Pavilion are on March 15th of every year."
Hearing Lin Yi's question, a look of reverence appeared on Zhao Haihong's face as he answered:
"Because that day is the birthday of our Heavenly Mountain Sect's Ancestral Master, and our Heavenly Mountain Sect will also hold a grand sacrifice on that day!"
"At that time, all Heavenly Mountain Sect Disciples, Elders, Grand Elders, and the Disciples who are going to participate in the Pavilion Entrance Assessment must attend."
"And after the sacrifice, the Disciples will begin the official assessment to decide the candidates for entering the Tianshan Pavilion. So Lin Yi, you still have about a month and a half to stay in Dongshan Prefecture."
"A month and a half? That's quite alright."
Lin Yi nodded.
He had originally prepared himself to head to the Tianshan Pavilion immediately after meeting his parents, but he didn't expect the time to be so much more generous than he had imagined.
A month and a half was enough for him to have a good reunion with his parents.
As for longer, it wasn't really necessary.
Because he knew that while reuniting with his parents was important, cultivation was even more important!
After all, Lin Yi really didn't want to experience that feeling of despair again, like when he faced Lu Chong and Chen Jiangping, with no way to heaven and no door to the earth!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi shook his head, still feeling lingering fear in his heart.
If it hadn't been for his good luck this time, happening to meet Senior Brother Jiang passing by, then no one would have been able to save his parents.
And if his parents had died, then even if he became stronger in the future, Lin Yi would still regret it for the rest of his life.
"Alright!"
Just as Lin Yi was feeling lucky, on the other side, Jiang Hanhan, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly bowed slightly to Zhao Haihong and said:
"Teacher, since the matter here has been resolved, I will go find that Chen Jiangping."
"A mere Second-Rank Martial Artist actually dared to insult Teacher like that. If I don't kill him today, how will I have the face to stand in this world in the future?"
As Jiang Hanhan spoke, streaks of terrifying anger and killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As a Genius rarely seen in a hundred years in the Heavenly Mountain Sect, and someone recognized by the Heavenly Mountain Sect and even many forces like the Wanxiang Tower as someone who will surely break through to Above the First Rank in the future, Jiang Hanhan truly had the confidence to say this.
Although the Heavenly Mountain Sect's strength was not as good as the Wanxiang Tower's, it was not something the Wanxiang Tower could easily manipulate, and Jiang Hanhan's status in the Heavenly Mountain Sect was much higher than Chen Jiangping's status in the Wanxiang Tower.
So even if Jiang Hanhan killed Chen Jiangping in a fit of rage this time, he would at most have a little trouble afterward, which he could easily bear.
And for his mentor, Jiang Hanhan naturally didn't care about this little trouble.
After speaking, Jiang Hanhan immediately prepared to leave.
However, at this moment—
"Wu Han! Wait!"
Zhao Haihong's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Hanhan's ears:
"Wu Han, you just go and give that Chen Jiangping some lessons this time, don't kill him."
"Hmm? Teacher, why?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hanhan was stunned.
"Because, I want Lin Yi to kill him with his own hands!"
After speaking, Zhao Haihong's expression suddenly became solemn, his eyes sharp as he looked at Lin Yi:
"Lin Yi, can you do it?"
On the other side, Jiang Hanhan also stopped his steps, his indifferent eyes looking down at Lin Yi.
Facing the pressing gazes of Jiang Hanhan and Zhao Haihong, Lin Yi also raised his head at this moment, meeting their eyes, then his face was calm as he slowly nodded:
"I can!"
