28: Chapter 28 Becoming a Grandmaster

[ You leap up and step onto the ring. ]

[ Intense discussions erupt all around you. ]

[ They all know you; your achievement as the runner-up in the Pill King Competition was far too dazzling. Everyone thought you had offended the Pill King and been killed by him, but now that you have appeared, these lies naturally collapse without a fight. ]

[ On the side of the Iron Hand Sect, there is naturally a burst of cheers. You specifically notice a little girl; you know she is the Sect Leader's daughter. She waves her small fists and keeps calling your name: "Brother Lin Heng!" ]

[ You wave at them, naturally triggering another round of cheers. ]

[ "Lin... Great Master?" Sun Lie looks incredulous: "You're okay?" ]

[ "Of course." You reveal a sunny, cheerful boy's smile. ]

[ "Leave the rest to me." ]

[ He nods. ]

[ Opposite the Iron Hand Sect are the higher-ups of the other three Sects. The fundamental reason they launched this Sect war against the Iron Hand Sect is because of you. ]

[ Since you are here now, it means you did not offend the Pill King, and it is very likely that you have been taken as a Disciple by the Pill King. ]

[ Regardless of that, no matter what, offending a young Transcendent like you is not worth the cost for them. ]

[ But now, the Sect competition cannot be turned back. ]

[ The Liefeng Hall Leader looks grim. ]

[ But suddenly, he laughs aloud: "Good, good. I never thought that in this lifetime, I would be able to cross hands with a Prodigy like you, Great Master Lin. This is truly good." ]

[ He solemnly bows to you: "Great Master Lin, please." ]

[ Without wasting words, you assume your starting stance. ]

[ In just the first round, you gain the upper hand. ]

[ The opponent is forced back several steps by your Internal Energy, looking incredulous. ]

[ "You are actually at the Transcendent Late Stage!" ]

[ You look at him and smile faintly: "Oh? Transcendent Late Stage?" ]

[ As your voice falls, the Internal Energy around your body suddenly surges. An invisible pressure erupts, sweeping across the entire martial arts arena, making the very air feel heavy. ]

[ Your Aura soars straight into the clouds. ]

[ "Now take a good look again, what is my cultivation level?" You tilt your head slightly, your tone carrying a hint of dominance. ]

[ You had just broken through in that instant. ]

[ "Transcendent... Peak!" ]

[ The Liefeng Hall Leader's pupils shrink. ]

[ He knows he is no longer your opponent; continuing to fight is meaningless. ]

[ "Hahaha, a true Dragon has emerged in our Fei City, hahaha!" The Liefeng Hall Leader laughs. ]

[ He suddenly kneels on one knee: "From now on, my Liefeng Hall is willing to submit to the Iron Hand Sect. From this day forward, Fei City is willing to honor Grandmaster Lin above all." ]

[ The other two Sects are also sensible: "My Green Wood Sect is willing to honor Grandmaster Lin above all." ]

[ "My Black Stone Sect is willing to honor Grandmaster Lin above all." ]

[ They are intentionally calling you Grandmaster. ]

[ You do not refute it; at this rate, your Breakthrough to Grandmaster is a certainty. ]

[ There are a total of five Sects in the Fei City martial arts world. ]

[ Four third-rate ones: Iron Hand Sect, Black Stone Sect, Green Wood Sect, and Liefeng Hall. ]

[ One second-rate Sect, the Wuquan Sect. ]

[ Generally, third-rate Sects are still active in the secular world, while second-rate Sects basically do not engage in secular activities. ]

[ The Wuquan Sect has also heard of your reputation; they only have one Grand Elder at the Transcendent Late Stage. ]

[ After learning of your Transcendent Peak cultivation, they are also willing to honor you above all. ]

[ Just like that, the Iron Hand Sect's status in the Fei City martial arts world rises sharply. ]

[ In a sense, you have truly become the king of Fei City. ]

[ The days that follow become peaceful. ]

[ When you have nothing to do, you stay in your villa to Cultivate. ]

[ As for having things to do... never mind, you don't really have anything to do. ]

[ At most, you go to bars to hook up. ]

[ You no longer need 'learning websites' now. ]

[ You think of your original body, still a little Chu Nan. ]

[ You ruthlessly mock your original body. ]

Lin Heng: "..."

[ Three years pass by quickly. ]

[ This year you are twenty-four, at the Transcendent Peak, but you still haven't made a Breakthrough to Grandmaster. ]

[ No, why haven't I broken through to Grandmaster yet? ]

[ You are doomed; you think of Master Wu Suanzi. ]

[ You feel it is because you have hooked up too many times. ]

[ Regardless, you are going to the Liehuo Sect, although you don't know when your Master will wake up. ]

[ You go to the Liehuo Sect. ]

[ By this time, Chen Tianxiao has already broken through to the Transcendent stage. ]

[ As soon as you arrive at the Liehuo Sect, he clings to you. ]

[ At night, you often lift your blanket to find him there. ]

[ You: ... ]

[ Once at the Liehuo Sect, you have no way to hook up. ]

[ Actually, you hinted to the Liehuo Sect Master once, but the one who came over was Chen Tianxiao. ]

[ Forget it, you start to focus on Cultivating. ]

[ You don't know if it's the Cultivation Technique, the reason for your focus, or perhaps because you aren't hooking up. ]

[ After three years, you finally break through. ]

[ You walk through the air and stand on the highest roof of the Liehuo Sect. ]

[ The surrounding Disciples all raise their heads to look up at you. ]

[ "From today on, I am a Grandmaster!" You stand with your hands on your hips, pointing at the sun as you shout. ]
