630: Chapter 630: Veteran Students’ Response Strategies
Now, she had absolutely no confidence in fighting Lin Yu.
Three years ago, she might have only been wary of Lin Yu's speed, but now, it wasn't just speed; she felt completely suppressed—no, more like utterly crushed, if nothing unexpected happened.
"Brother Lin, three years have passed. How have you considered our trade?"
At this moment, Gao Yunzhou also walked over.
He knew what Lin Yu was going to do this time, so he wanted to get his hands on the speed secret technique he had been longing for before Lin Yu's challenge.
Otherwise, if Lin Yu was completely suppressed by the higher-ups, he would lose his chance.
As for Lin Yu's current cultivation, he didn't care at all.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that!"
Hearing about the trade, Lin Yu's mood improved even more. He waved his hand directly and said, "Brother Gao, I won't take what others love. You should keep that thing!"
After speaking, he patted Tang Yue's delicate backside, then hummed a little tune and headed towards the entrance of the small world.
Gao Yunzhou froze for a moment, then stiffly turned his head to look at Lin Yu.
Three years ago, he clearly showed great interest, but after three years of secluded cultivation, he just... That wasn't not taking what others loved; he was completely uninterested, alright.
In an instant, a black line appeared on his face.
He had waited for three years with a nervous heart, but this guy told him the trade was canceled.
His longed-for escape technique was just gone.
Meanwhile, Tang Yue beside him turned completely red.
Although she usually had a carefree personality, she was still a woman, alright? That place was very sensitive; how could he just pat it?
This guy truly didn't treat her like a woman at all.
Rarely, a hint of shyness actually arose in her heart.
People are drawn to strength, and she was no exception.
Especially with a man like Lin Yu, who was handsome, young, and stronger than her, a rare ripple appeared in her heart.
"Hmph, let's see how I take you down!"
She snorted in her heart and immediately followed to the spectator area.
She knew that Lin Yu would surely fulfill the promise made three years ago.
Most importantly, she knew that in these past three years, these old students from the outside world had also done something big, something that made her scalp tingle just thinking about it. She wanted to see if Lin Yu could still handle it calmly.
Gao Yunzhou also shook his head helplessly and followed Tang Yue to the viewing platform.
Lin Yu wouldn't trade with him, and he had no better solution.
If he were a woman like Tang Yue, he could try seduction, but now he had no options, not even an Imperishable Dao Artifact could sway him.
And at this moment, as Lin Yu emerged from the Dawn Tower, one after another, the old students who had sworn the Great Dao Oath all arrived.
"Lin Yu, do your words from three years ago still count?"
A quarter of an hour later, a student from the 597th batch, looking middle-aged, stepped forward.
His expression was solemn, but there was no fear in him; instead, he seemed eager to try.
Most importantly, Lin Yu heard... provocation in his words!
This made him a little curious. Had these people thought of some way to deal with him? Why did each of them have such an expression, as if they were certain they had him cornered?
To be honest, he was genuinely curious at this point.
Because among the more than two hundred people present, he saw nervousness, solemnity, and apprehension.
But he saw no fear.
This was truly a bit abnormal.
He had not concealed his recent promotion to the Undying Realm at all, so these people should have known.
"Of course, my words naturally count. How do you plan to respond to the challenge?"
Although it was a bit strange, it didn't hinder his plan.
He wasn't worried about any accidents now.
He could fight if he wanted to, and he could run if he wanted to.
As for these students, he didn't even put them in his heart.
Kill them as he pleased!
"Heh heh, good, Lin Yu, you're arrogant enough!"
Upon hearing this, the speaker's nervous emotions immediately relaxed, and at the same time, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "Lin Yu, since your words count, then listen carefully: we have unanimously decided that everyone will form a sect. If you challenge anyone, you will be facing all of us!"
With that, he even sneered.
"That's right, Lin Yu, you yourself said to let us form an alliance. If you go back on your word, we won't fight, and it won't be considered breaking the oath!"
"Yes, aren't you incredibly powerful? Then single-handedly take on all of us!"
"..."
In an instant, everyone seemed afraid that Lin Yu would back out and immediately began to provoke him with words.
They acted as if Lin Yu would be a coward and a spineless person without credit if he didn't dare to fight.
Lin Yu looked at their excited expressions and couldn't help but find it amusing.
There were even some who wished to die faster.
He had told these people to form an alliance because he found challenging them one by one too slow.
Now, this was good; they directly gave him a grand unity.
If this method were used against others, it might be effective, but against him... it was just accelerating their demise.
Killing one ant and a nest of ants made little difference to him.
"All of you, get in here and die!"
Lin Yu didn't waste words. After throwing out that sentence, he stepped into the small world.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable disdain, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
This time, it was the turn of the more than two hundred old students, who were poised for battle, to be a little bewildered.
This... this wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
In their anticipation, when Lin Yu heard their shameless tactic of forming a "sect" and attacking together, he should at least show anger, hesitation, or try to bargain!
They had even prepared more taunts and provocations to force him to accept the challenge.
But Lin Yu?
He didn't even say an extra word, his eyes as calm as if he were watching a group of ants discussing how to be stepped on more neatly, and then he just entered the arena!
This was a complete and utter disregard, from the very core of his being!
"He... why isn't he scared at all?"
Someone unconsciously murmured, and the earlier momentum of shared hatred and certainty of victory instantly showed a crack.
"He's putting on an act! He must be putting on an act! He wants to gain the upper hand and overwhelm us with his aura!"
Immediately, someone shouted, forcing themselves to be calm, trying to stabilize morale.
"That's right! No matter how strong he is, he's only just entered the Undying Realm! There are over two hundred of us; we'll exhaust him to death!"
"Go! Get in there! Make him pay for his arrogance!"
The crowd stirred, encouraging each other, and finally, they turned into a torrent, pouring into the small world.
Only, their retreating figures, no matter how one looked at them, exuded an air of bravado masking inner weakness.
Outside, the new students from Lin Yu's batch had already erupted in chatter.
"My heavens! Lin Lin is too domineering!"
"One person against over two hundred senior students? Among them are even Limitless Immortal Emperor peak cultivators and those who have touched the threshold of the Undying Realm... This courage, I admire it!"
"How does he have such great confidence? Can advancing to the Undying Realm really bring such a qualitative change?"
"I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked! Look, they've all gone in!"
