Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyun slowly lowered his arm and said with great interest.
Besides being a bit slow-witted, he also loved to gamble, and Ye Lin's words completely piqued his interest.
"How about we have a duel three days from now? If I lose, I will acknowledge you as my elder brother and obey your commands at all times."
"But if I win, how about you give me the jade pendant around your neck?"
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Zhou Qingyun subconsciously touched the jade pendant around his neck.
This jade pendant was something he obtained in a Secret Realm, and he still didn't know what it was for.
However, on second thought, Ye Lin obeying his commands at all times?
Currently, Ye Lin's reputation was soaring, so having him obey his commands at all times sounded like a pretty good idea.
Moreover...
"Although I can't discern your Cultivation, based on the feedback from the battlefield, you are only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. I am at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Are you sure?"
Zhou Qingyun looked at Ye Lin with great interest.
After all, those who could become Inner Sect Disciples of Nameless Mountain were not simple individuals.
In front of such people, let alone crossing two small Realms, even one small Realm would be incredibly difficult to win.
"Are you afraid to gamble? If you're afraid to gamble, then Move aside and don't block the Dao."
The next moment, Ye Lin's expression suddenly turned cold as he reprimanded Zhou Qingyun.
"Who said I'm afraid to gamble? Alright, three days from now, on the battlefield. I hope you don't beg for mercy then."
"Let's go."
Zhou Qingyun readily agreed, then glared at Ye Lin and left with his two younger brothers behind him.
Watching Zhou Qingyun leave, Ye Lin's lips curled into a smile.
This guy's brain was indeed filled with muscles; he fell for such a simple trick.
As long as he defeated him, the number of people seeking trouble would greatly decrease from then on.
Because he judged from the Aura around Zhou Qingyun that although this guy had no brains, his combat power was good.
As long as he defeated this guy, he would at least have peace for a long time.
Immediately, Ye Lin turned and went to his residence.
He took out Spirit Stones from his space ring and began to Cultivate.
His goal was to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage within three days.
Although he had just Broken Through to the Nascent Soul Stage, for others, doing so would be no different from seeking death.
Continuously Breaking Through Realms could easily lead to an unstable Foundation, resulting in a drop in Cultivation at best, or Qi Deviation and becoming a cripple at worst.
However, Ye Lin didn't have such great concerns.
Ultimately, his Foundation was too profound; Breaking Through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage was no problem at all.
For a time, the entire residence fell into a brief silence.
When a person's reputation grows, so do their troubles.
Now, many Inner Sect Disciples had their eyes on him, and Zhou Qingyun was merely a dog he had brought out.
As long as he broke this dog's teeth, it would serve as a warning to others.
Three days passed without a word, and in the blink of an eye, the three days were gone.
On this day, Ye Lin's Aura ascended to a higher level.
Indeed, in three days, he easily stepped into the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but there was still a long way to go before the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
However, such speed was enough to shock many people.
For an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, a Breakthrough of a small Realm could take ten years, or a hundred years, or even a thousand years without being able to Breakthrough a small Realm.
But what about Ye Lin? It seemed less than a month had passed in between.
It was enough to astound the world.
"It's time to defeat Zhou Qingyun and establish my prestige."
"Get the jade pendant, listen to the Immortal Master's lecture, and further my Sword Intent. If I can touch the rules, that would naturally be even better."
Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes, making his plans internally.
Then he got up and walked towards the battlefield.
The battlefield was a very special place, specifically built for Disciples to spar with each other.
Once one stepped onto the battlefield, they would be automatically separated by a barrier. Outsiders could only see the two people dueling within the battlefield, but all the various Moves used would be hidden by the barrier.
Meaning, you could clearly see two people fighting and attacking, but you couldn't clearly see what kind of Moves they were using.
It contained the unique methods of a Nascent Soul Realm True Person.
When he arrived at the battlefield, he saw Zhou Qingyun standing with his hands behind his back on a huge white jade platform, a long spear stuck beside him, looking quite like a great hero.
And all around, Disciples gathered to watch the battle.
After all, once one reached the Nascent Soul Stage, simply Cultivating day and night was useless; it was more about comprehension.
And watching others duel was often the most effective way to improve oneself.
Coupled with Ye Lin's fame, it was not surprising that so many Disciples gathered.
"You're here. You made me wait for a full half an hour. You certainly have a lot of airs."
Zhou Qingyun looked at Ye Lin, who was slowly flying in the sky, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.
He had maintained this posture for a full half an hour.
"So what if you waited? What do you want?"
Ye Lin landed on the white jade platform, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Zhou Qingyun, chuckling.
"Good, I hope you don't beg for mercy later. Let's begin."
After Zhou Qingyun finished speaking, a barrier appeared on the surface of the white jade platform, directly enveloping the two of them.
This also prevented any spectating Disciples from taking advantage of the battle to interfere or launch a sneak attack.
Moreover, such things had happened before.
And the ones who made a Move were the traitors from the Ten Thousand Demons Hall embedded in Nameless Mountain, specifically to assassinate the Heavenly Pride of the Human Clan.
After all, although the Human Race was weak, the Prodigies who grew up caused them quite a headache.
"Draw your sword, otherwise, once I make a Move, you might not even have a chance to draw it."
Zhou Qingyun grabbed the long spear beside him and said indifferently.
"You are not worthy."
Ye Lin calmly shook his head.
The Zhou Qingyun in front of him was truly not worthy of him drawing his sword.
"You're courting death."
Upon hearing Ye Lin look down on him so much, Zhou Qingyun immediately became furious.
To think that he, Zhou Qingyun, who could rank among the top one hundred in the Inner Sect Disciple combat power rankings, was repeatedly looked down upon by a newcomer.
Anyone would find it difficult to remain calm.
"Die."
Zhou Qingyun pulled out the long spear beside him, flashed, and charged towards Ye Lin, his long spear pointing directly at Ye Lin's face.
Ye Lin's body retreated rapidly. He raised his right hand, forming a sword with two fingers, and several Sword Qi slashed forward.
Clink, clink, clink.
Only three crisp sounds were heard as all three Sword Qi were blocked by Zhou Qingyun.
Outside, the spectating Disciples had various expressions.
"It's normal for new Disciples to be a bit arrogant."
A young man holding a white folding fan said with a smile, fanning himself with the fan.
"Indeed, but he's being too overconfident. It seems this Ye Lin is nothing special, just famous. If you ask me, the claim of him killing thousands of Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators alone with a single sword is probably exaggerated."
"It's already impressive if he can kill dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators alone."
In the distance, a burly man carrying a giant hammer said with disdain.
He absolutely didn't believe that one person could kill thousands of Nascent Soul Stage Demon Cultivators with a single sword. Who the hell would believe that?
"Don't believe it? That's just you. Don't treat a great Immortal Master like yourself. If it were fake, could Ye Lin have such great merit? That reward, even I'm a bit envious."
"If it's fake, then was that reward given for free?"
Next to the burly man, a graceful woman looked at him with contempt and said.
