They were all the prodigies of this martial arts tournament, and today, they happened to witness this scene. One by one, they voiced their opinions, their words and actions akin to strategizing and arranging the world.


    They didn''t take Lin Yun seriously, or to put it more urately, they didn''t consider Lin Yun''s current strength as a threat.


    Defeating a strong opponent at the Late Mingjin Stage realm with a single move was something they could also achieve, or even surpass.


    Perhaps, the opponent''s future strength wouldn''t be inferior to theirs, but for now, anyone who hadn''t reached Dark Strength was not worth their attention.


    "Speaking of age, recently in the martial arts world, another 23-year-old Dark Strength martial artist appeared. Do you know of him?" At this moment, one of the young men thought of something and posed this question to the others.


    "A 23-year-old Dark Strength martial artist? Brother Chen, are you talking about Lin Yun from Qingyun Company?" One of them changed his expression and asked in a serious tone.


    Lin Yun from Qingyun Company was a name that recently stirred up the entire Huaxia martial artsmunity. It was rumored that he was only 23 or 24 years old and had already reached the Initial Stage of Dark Strength.


    "Um..." Brother Chen choked on his words.


    "Lin Yun from Qingyun Company allegedly led people to massacre nearly twenty martial arts grandmasters. The authenticity of this im is unsure, but regardless of its veracity, his power is indeed formidable..."


    "If even the strongest among the martial arts grandmasters cannot dare to underestimate him, we are definitely no match..."


    The two people shook their heads.


    "Humph! That Lin Yun. I don''t think he''s that impressive. His sess in eliminating so many martial arts grandmasters is mainly due to his grandmaster subordinates and their powerful firearms..."


    "So many martial arts grandmasters were killed by firearms. This is a disgrace to the martial artsmunity! Lin Yun, as a martial artist himself, leading a group of martial arts grandmasters, and extensively using firearms, is nothing more than a disgrace to the martial artsmunity..."


    A young man sneered disdainfully.


    "Indeed, if it''s about firearms, we might as wellpare ourselves to official forces from various countries. One nuclear weapon could obliterate us all..."


    "I suspect that Lin Yun''s extensive influence is merely due to his good fortune. His innate martial arts talent made him the young master of a power. Being a 23 or 24-year old Dark Strength martial artist is decent, but none of us are lesspetent..."


    A young man nodded, smirking and speaking with the same disdain.


    Although they seemed to speak nobly, if they were ced in Lin Yun''s position andmanded Lin Yun''s fame, they all would wish for nothing more.


    "Gentlemen, I was not referring to that Lin Yun, but Zhong Nan, the disciple of Grandmaster Wei Doni..." Brother Chen, who had spoken earlier, said with a bitter smile.


    "Huh?"


    The crowd was taken aback.


    "Zhong Nan?"


    "Has he broken through to Dark Strength?"


    "The 23-year old Dark Strength martial artist Brother Chen mentioned, it''s him..."


    Some of them eximed in surprise, while others either narrowed their eyes slightly or squinted.


    Wei Doni, in the Late Stage of Huajin and a powerful grandmaster in the martial arts world of Huaxia, was well-known and they acknowledged this.


    As Wei Doni''s disciple, Zhong Nan''s martial arts talent and power were not weak. Many of them had heard or even seen for themselves.


    However, as Zhong Nan had not broken through to Dark Strength before, they did not pay him any attention.


    Now, as he had broken through to Dark Strength, they could not ignore him any longer.


    Most of them were also at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength. As Zhong Nan was Wei Doni''s disciple, his martial arts skills should also be strong. If he participated in the rookiepetition, he would indeed be a formidable opponent.


    As he was only 23 years old, there would be no reason for him to pass on this rookiepetition.


    "Haha, most of us broke through to Dark Strength around the age of 25. The fact that he managed to achieve it at 23 proves his extraordinary talent in martial arts. He is also participating in this rookiepetition, so we all need to be careful.


    Actually, besides the young man on the deathmatch stage just now, there are many other outstanding people in this rookiepetition..." Brother Chenughed.


    "Like Zhong Nan''s junior sister, Yan Yun''er, who reached Mid Mingjin Stage at 16, Late Mingjin Stage at 18, and Mingjin peak at 20. Now, at 22, she has been at the Mingjin peak for two years. Maybe in the next one or two years, she will break through to Dark Strength..."


    "Yan Yun''er?"


    Everyone''s eyes brightened once again.


    Yan Yun''er was quite famous in the martial arts world due to her exceptional beauty. Such stunning women were scarce in the martial arts world, and many young martial artists viewed her as a goddess, while many young prodigies saw her as their ideal partner.


    "I met Yun''er, my junior sister, a while back. I heard that she will also be participating in the neerpetition of this martial arts tournament..." A young manughed, subtly hinting at his special rtionship with Yan Yun''er.


    "Yan Yun''er, a fairy-like figure of our generation, equipped with both beauty and talent. Her participation does add a ssh of color to the neerpetition..." A young man nodded,ughing.


    "However, you probably wouldn''t have guessed that in this neerpetition, another fairy-like figure has emerged. Many people call her Fairy Lin or Fairy Mengmeng..." Chen, one of them,ughed.


    "Fairy Mengmeng?"


    "Pfft! Fairy Mengmeng! What kind of nickname is that?"


    "Calling her Fairy Lin is normal, but Fairy Mengmeng... could it be that she looks very cute?"


    "I wonder how strong she is?"


    People burst intoughter.


    "Well, because her full name is Lin Mengmeng. Some people call her Fairy Lin or Fairy Mengmeng, as they haven''te to a consensus on what to call her. She is 21 years old, and at the Late Mingjin Stage. During yesterday''s preliminarypetition, out of the ten fights, she faced three at the Late Mingjin Stage, none of whomsted ten rounds against her.


    As for her looks, she is in no way inferior to Yan Yun''er, and might even be more attractive, making her another fairy-like figure blessed with both beauty and talent..." Chen chuckled, sharing this information.


    "Lin Mengmeng? Such a peculiar name..."


    "She''s just as beautiful, if not more, than Yan Yun''er? A 21-year-old at the Late Mingjin Stage? None of the three at the Late Mingjin Stage couldst ten rounds against her? Is this for real?"


    "Did such a woman really appear in this neerpetition?"


    Their eyes gleamed with curiosity.


    "Brother Chen, what''s the background of this Lin Mengmeng?"


    A young man asked.


    "Hehe, she is the daughter of the current Sect Leader of the Golden Sword Sect in Shen City." Chen chuckled.


    "Golden Sword Sect?" A few young men furrowed their brows.


    They hadn''t heard of this sect before.


    "It''s a small sect. It''s normal that you haven''t heard of it." Chen shook his head.


    "Regardless of her background, we should definitely see such a dual-talented beauty for ourselves."


    "Indeed. We''ve already seen Yan Yun''er, Fairy Yan, and she is quite attractive. Now, let''s take a look at this Fairy Lin, who is said to be even more beautiful."


    Some young men nced at each other, thenughed.


    They left something unsaid, that Yan Yun''er, with her martial arts talent, was no worse than them, and possibly even better. Combined with the fact that she was Wei Doni''s disciple, they had to step lightly around her, only attempting to pursue her in a normal manner.


    However, this new fairy-like woman, who came from a small sect, was on their radar. The chances of them nabbing her for themselves should be high. Having such a woman on their arm would be quite the talking point.


    The martial arts talent might be somewhat less than Yan Yun''er''s, but it was still remarkable. The most important point was her appearance...which was even better. Wouldn''t this kind of girl perfectly match these outstanding young men?


    "Brother Shaoning, your sweetheart is Yan Yun''er. If you see this Fairy Lin, you can''tpete with us..."


    At this point, a young manughed as he addressed another young man dressed in a white robe.


    "Indeed... indeed..."


    Several young men nodded in agreement, alsoughing.


    Li Shaoning, the only one among these martial arts prodigies at the Mid Mingjin Stage, was the favored disciple of the current Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect. His martial arts talent, martial arts strength, and background were all extraordinary. Going along with his handsome appearance...


    If they had topete with him, who could win?N?v(el)B\\jnn
