Chapter 12689
Zhang Baiyu nodded and said, "Nothing was touched, but someone got involved, Zhou Yuan."
"That young master of the Zhou family, who's known as a child prodigy?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The Zhou family is also a first-class family and has some dealings with the Termination Society. They don't usually have a high profile, but their most famous member is their five-year-old son, Zhou Yuan.
This person is exceptionally gifted. Although he is only five years old, he is already known as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy in Tianjun.
Compared to Zhou Yuan, a man of extraordinary talent, Yuan Chu was utterly insignificant, like heaven and earth.
With such a prestigious title, it's no surprise that there's a lot of skepticism from the public.
However, with just one sentence, the Zhou family silenced everyone.
This five-year-old young master of the Zhou family is already a master of the Ten-Zhang Dharma Form!
A five-year-old with a ten-zhang-tall Dharma form is unprecedented not only in the history of Tianjun, but also in the entire Divine Realm—a mythical legend that no one dares to believe.
But Zhou Yuan's situation is a living reality.
Lin Yi asked curiously, "With his level, how could he get involved in something like this?"
No matter how extraordinary Zhou Yuan was, he was ultimately just a ten-zhang Dharma Aspect expert. For someone of his level to meddle in Lin Yi's affairs was simply courting death.
Zhang Baiyu replied, "He didn't openly participate, but he was involved in some way. I judge that this person is hiding a lot of things."
The two were talking.
Lu Bukui suddenly came in and reported: "President, Zhou Yuan has come to register for the Tianwu Hall."
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a glance, both revealing amused expressions.
"interesting."
Lin Yi stroked his chin: "Let's go take a look."
At this moment, Tianwu Hall Square was already crowded with people from all directions who came to see Zhou Yuan's entrance examination.
Exclamations came and went.
Strictly speaking, the difficulty of the Tianwu Hall's assessment is not high. After all, Lin Yi's original intention was to let more people learn more Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques in order to quickly improve the overall strength of Tianjun.
Setting the bar too high will only backfire.
Even so, Tianwu Hall is still the most prestigious martial arts academy in Tianjun. Its various assessment programs are meticulously designed and are regarded by the public as the orthodox, official, and authoritative institution.
If one can excel in the various assessments of the Heavenly Martial Hall, one will gain great fame not only in the Heavenly Martial Hall but also throughout the entire Heavenly County.
Behind fame often lies enormous profit.
Therefore, all parties are eager to pursue this.
"The Dharma's approachability is perfect!"
"Perfect control over the Dharma form!"
"The flexibility of the Dharma form is perfect!"
Every time a perfect score was announced, the audience gasped in amazement.
Given the difficulty of the Tianwu Hall's assessment, passing the assessment is not difficult, but getting a perfect score is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
If it were just one or two perfect scores, that would be fine; there have been students like that before. But to get a perfect score in every single subject is a complete miracle!
Especially since the person standing in the middle right now is just a five-year-old child!
The disparity revealed here was enough to easily shatter the confidence of everyone present.
"Damn it! Comparing yourself to others is just awful!"
The group exchanged wry smiles.
When Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu arrived, the scene was immediately shaken.
Regardless of what people discuss in private, at least on the surface, Lin Yi is the one who shelters the entire Tianjun County.
In front of Lin Yi, everyone, from powerful family tycoons to ordinary people, was extremely respectful.
Without anyone reminding them, everyone bowed and greeted each other.
"Greetings, Lord of Tianjun!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on Zhou Yuan.
Its small body stood proudly in the arena.
Faced with Lin Yi's gaze, even without Lin Yi deliberately exerting pressure, any expert from Tianjun present would feel immense pressure, and might even be unable to stand steadily.
Even if you force yourself to hold on, you will inevitably be extremely nervous.
However, at this moment, Zhou Yuan met Lin Yi's gaze head-on, his expression remained unchanged, showing no fear whatsoever.
Not only was he not afraid, Lin Yi even sensed a hint of contempt.
This contempt was deeply hidden, especially under the cover of an innocent child's face. If Lin Yi hadn't habitually used his World Will to monitor the entire scene, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yi immediately became interested.
He didn't think everyone should be afraid of him, but a five-year-old child, even an unprecedented prodigy, actually showed contempt for him.
This is very unusual.
Especially since the other party was also involved in this incident, Lin Yi couldn't help but pay close attention to him.
No matter how ignorant a child may be, he is still a master of the Ten-Zhang Dharma Form. He should at least understand the difference between the Ten-Zhang Dharma Form and the Three-Zhang Dharma Form.
Unless this kid is truly arrogant and thinks even a three-zhang-tall Dharma Image is nothing special!
Such a thing would be truly inconceivable if it happened to someone else, but if it happened to a five-year-old child with a ten-foot-tall Dharma form, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible.
After all, it seems reasonable that someone could reach the ten-zhang Dharma form at the age of five and then advance to the three-zhang Dharma form at the age of ten.
So, when you think about it that way, Lin Yi really isn't much of a deal in his eyes.
Zhou Yuan spoke first: "I want all the Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques of Tianwu Hall."
A single sentence was earth-shattering.
All eyes in the room were on him, and everyone was stunned.
Is that how you talk to Lin Yi?
Are all kids these days this brave?
No matter how high your potential may be in the future, you are only a ten-zhang Dharma form at the moment. If you really anger Lin Yi, crushing him is just a matter of one finger.
The Zhou family simply cannot protect them.
Zhou Wugong, the head of the Zhou family, was drenched in cold sweat and almost knelt down on the spot. He dared not stand up and speak in this situation.
If things go wrong, not only will Zhou Yuan die, but the entire Zhou family will be buried with him!
Lin Yi didn't seem to care: "Then you'll have to pass the test first."
Zhou Yuan gestured with her chin towards Kong Qianqiu beside her: "Did I pass?"
Kong Qianqiu's current position is the chief instructor of Tianwu Hall, and she is personally supervising today's assessment.
"pass."
Kong Qianqiu couldn't hide his excitement as he reported to Lin Yi, "He got full marks in all ten tests! This child is truly gifted!"
As the destined successor of Confucius' lineage, Kong Qianqiu was undoubtedly top-notch in terms of both his own talent and his vision and knowledge.
There are very few ordinary people who can excite her like this.
Lin Yi met her gaze, a complex expression flashing across his face.
Although Kong Jisheng's death was ultimately his own fault, it's hard to say how Kong Qianqiu, as Kong Jisheng's daughter, would react if she knew the truth.
While I was still in a daze.
Kong Qianqiu suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "I know about Father's affairs. We agreed not to interfere with each other. Whether he lives or dies, I respect his choice."
"..."
Lin Yi's expression was strange: "So carefree?"
However, looking back, putting aside the lineage of Confucius, Lin Yi felt a deep understanding of Kong Qianqiu himself from their first meeting. (End of Chapter)
