Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's good that he's straightforward. You don't need to worry about him. Since I've kept him around, I have my own plans."
"When you see him again, I guarantee he'll be more obedient than your watchdog."
He had complete confidence in Jiang Xiaoshang's individualized teaching methods.
Even Zhou Yuan, a reincarnation of an ancient Chaos Emperor, has been tamed to the point of being powerless, let alone Long Juefeng, whose spirit has already been broken.
Cao Mang paused for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "My watchdog isn't very obedient; it often bares its teeth at me for no reason."
Lin Yi was speechless: "Then let's get a more obedient one."
As the two were talking, suddenly the world was filled with a bright light, and a huge pillar of light that stretched from the sky to the earth crashed down without warning.
Perfectly, it completely encompasses the entire Longjia Village in front of it!
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "The racetrack is here?"
Cao Mang, standing nearby, blurted out, "Could their appearance at this time be another conspiracy targeting us?"
"It shouldn't be."
Lin Yi shook his head.
Firstly, Hua Chengying had just suffered a loss, so it's unlikely that he would give up so easily again.
Secondly, while track arrival and track duel may seem similar at first glance, they are actually completely different in nature.
The latter is in the track's secret realm, where track access holders like him have some room for maneuver.
In contrast, the former directly projects the rules and challenges into the real world, making it more direct and harder to be interfered with by external forces.
At this moment, as the entire Longjia Village was sealed off by the pillar of light, the fluctuations of the rules spread far and wide.
The entire Tianjun region was immediately alarmed, and people came from all directions upon hearing the news.
A large, dark crowd quickly gathered around the beam of light.
Lin Yi and Cao Mang exchanged a glance, and without further hesitation, they moved and sped towards Longjia Village.
The arrival of the track means that the reward is at least at the level of intermediate divine equipment.
Although Lin Yi possessed numerous divine artifacts, when opportunity knocked in his face, there was no reason not to seize it.
When the two arrived, thousands of people had already gathered around the pillar of light.
The number of people is still increasing rapidly.
Some impatient ones couldn't wait any longer and tried to rush towards the pillar of light, wanting to enter the Longjia Village area.
However, they were repelled on the spot by a gentle yet resilient invisible force, unable to cross the line and only able to sigh in despair from the outside.
Everyone sighed with regret.
Based on past experience, compared to track battles where only a fixed number of challengers are selected, Track Descent is significantly more open.
Even ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the game and take on the challenge.
Unfortunately, the scene before us is clearly not like that.
Just as everyone was wondering, a small group of people in the crowd did not seem to be repelled by the pillar of light.
They included men, women, young and old, and their cultivation levels varied, with no apparent pattern among them.
As a result, they easily passed through the light barrier and entered the Longjia Village area.
This scene immediately caused a commotion.
Someone couldn't help but complain loudly: "This is unfair! Why can they get in? What's going on with this selection mechanism?"
Is there any such thing as absolute fairness in the world?
An old man beside him shook his head and said, "Some things depend on luck, or more accurately, on fate. If you can't get in, it just means your time hasn't come yet."
"That's right."
Someone immediately chimed in: "Look at Longjia Village, everyone in the village, young and old, is inside! They were born into this circle, what can you do? That's fate, that's destiny."
At this moment, Lin Yi and Cao Mang also arrived nearby.
The crowd on the periphery quickly recognized Lin Yi, causing a stir. Everyone spontaneously made way for him and bowed respectfully.
Some were so excited that they couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, "The Lord of Tianjun has arrived!"
The sound quickly spread, gathering into a considerable wave of noise.
It seems that for them, being able to see Lin Yi up close this time is far more important than the arrival of the race track itself.
There's no other reason than that, after the recent series of events, Lin Yi's prestige in Tianjun has reached a whole new level.
Even a master like Deng Shentong, who possessed a Dharma Aspect of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), could only suffer a defeat; this is absolute invincibility!
In the end, the land of Tianjun worships the strong.
As long as Lin Yi continues to remain undefeated, his prestige will only increase day by day, until he stands shoulder to shoulder with the gods!
"I'll try."
Cao Mang greeted them and tried to walk forward, wanting to enter the pillar of light.
However, when he touched the light barrier, he was also blocked by a gentle force and could not enter.
Seeing this, the people around felt much better.
Even a great figure like Cao Mang was excluded just like them, so what did they have to complain about?
However, when it was Lin Yi's turn, the light barrier did not obstruct him at all, and his figure was not hindered at all. He stepped into the range of the light pillar in one step.
The entire room was immediately filled with flattery.
"You are indeed extraordinary! You are destined by Heaven, and even the race rules have to give way!"
Of course, some people secretly scoffed.
If this is destiny, then what about the group of people who just went in, and the whole of Longjia Village?
Upon entering the pillar of light, Lin Yi quietly expanded his divine sense, quickly scanning the entire Longjia Village area.
A rough estimate suggests that the total number of challengers selected this time is close to 1,500.
Most of them were villagers who originally lived in Longjia Village.
Most of them are elderly, weak, women and children, and they have little strength to speak of. No matter what the rules of the challenge are, their competitiveness is probably not strong.
At this moment, the light in the sky converged, and the track information was condensed accordingly.
It was clearly displayed to everyone.
[This challenge's rules: Beat your ten-year-old self.]
The moment the message was sent out, an uproar erupted both inside and outside the beam of light.
Everyone was stunned, their faces blank with disbelief.
"Beat your ten-year-old self? What kind of challenge is that?"
"When I was ten years old? I could have easily crushed him with just one finger, right?"
"So we can get the track rewards like this? Isn't that practically free?"
Doubt, disdain, and ecstasy—various emotions spread among the crowd.
Almost at the same time the rules were announced, the space in front of each challenger rippled slightly, and a figure quickly became clear from a blur.
Then all the challengers changed color.
That was exactly how they looked when they were ten years old, wearing old clothes from their memories, their eyes either innocent or lively, lifelike.
Looking at the "self" before him, whose figure was still short and whose face was still youthful but whose future outline could already be seen, even Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Long-buried memories were immediately stirred up.
In that instant of distraction, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the ten-year-old Lin Yi opposite him, a glint completely unlike his true self.
The small figure suddenly burst forth with a speed disproportionate to its size, charging fiercely towards him!
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was as vast as heaven and earth.
Lin Yi didn't even make any deliberate movements; he simply moved his mind slightly, and the aura that naturally flowed around him formed an invisible wall.
