Chapter 867 - 293: Celestial Pride (Part 2)
When Ning Jia’an spoke mockingly, Lin Zheyu had the thought that Han Ge and the three Ancient Martial Families were in cahoots, possibly tasked with troubling him this time.
But now, it seems that might not be the case?
"Mr. Han praised too highly, it was just defeating a waste, not worthy of such a title."
Lin Zheyu smiled faintly and said modestly.
"Hmph!"
Ning Jia’an snorted coldly, his expression indescribably unpleasant.
Seeing Han Ge not even glancing at him, Ning Jia’an snorted coldly, directly turned around, and left.
"I was a bit impolite earlier and unfortunately angered your friend, very sorry." Lin Zheyu glanced in the direction of the door, his face slightly apologetic as he spoke.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it was Mr. Ning who initiated it."
Han Ge glanced at Ning Jia’an’s departing figure and shook his head with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao’s strength is indeed formidable."
"The technique displayed just now was truly astounding. This is the first time I’ve seen someone at Mr. Xiao’s level possess such powerful Power of Rules."
The lady opposite Lin Zheyu smiled and praised.
The Power of Rules is typically only encountered before attaining the Golden Core.
In Immortal Dao,
the amount of Power of Rules comprehended before attaining the Golden Core is closely related to the strength of fate captured, and it affects the grade of the Golden Core.
For Martial Artists, although they don’t need the Golden Core, the degree of Power of Rules comprehension before advancing to the Shackled Realm greatly affects their strength post-advancement.
Moreover, before advancing to the Shackled Realm, the affinity a Martial Artist has with the Heavenly Dao and the difficulty of comprehending the Power of Rules is vastly different compared to post-advancement.
This Mr. Xiao in front managed to grasp such strong Power of Rules at the Divine Treasure Realm.
It’s hard to imagine how extraordinary and powerful he will be after advancing to the Shackled Realm.
"It was merely a coincidence that I gained such an opportunity, it’s nothing much."
Lin Zheyu waved his hand and said with a smile.
If not for the chance encounter when acquiring the rule fragment, and extending the comprehension time significantly with Source Power,
Lin Zheyu couldn’t have comprehended such powerful Power of Rules in a short time based solely on his own insight.
Therefore, what Lin Zheyu said was indeed true.
"Luck is also a part of strength. We all seek such opportunities but cannot encounter them." Han Ge said with a smile.
"Earlier Mr. Ning interrupted, and I didn’t have a chance to introduce."
"Let me reintroduce; the friend on the left is Su Qingqing from the White Tiger Sect, and the one on the right is Pei Yichen from the Cyan Dragon Sect."
Han Ge pointed to the two friends beside him and introduced.
Lin Zheyu cupped his hands at them and said with a smile: "I am Xiao Yu, not as distinguished as any of you, coming from the Martial Alliance."
He sneaked a glance at the three, surprised to see they all hailed from top powers.
The Four Symbols Sect in the Four Symbols Realm is the top sect in the Great Wei Cultivation Realm, on par with the Eight Great Families.
The Four Symbols Realm is a Grotto Heaven World jointly managed by four top sects and the Eight Great Families.
"Heroes are not asked about their origins."
"Given Mr. Xiao’s ability, he would be an undisputed standout even in the Cyan Dragon Sect." Pei Yichen smiled and said.
"I wonder which power Mr. Xiao hails from and who he learned from?"
"I often interact with Martial Artists and am familiar with the talented Martial Artists of Great Wei, yet I haven’t heard of your name."
"Could it be, Mr. Xiao is from another continent?"
Su Qingqing blinked with curiosity as she asked.
Han Ge and Pei Yichen also looked over, intrigued about Lin Zheyu’s background.
They all knew each other’s origins clearly.
But regarding this talented Martial Artist named Xiao Yu, they knew very little; no matter how much they probed, they couldn’t find much useful information.
It was as if this person appeared out of nowhere.
Evidently, this is impossible.
In today’s age, no matter how talented a Martial Artist or Cultivator may be, without a strong backing, they would merely blend in with the crowd.
This is a result of the era.
Even if there were no issues in this world, in ancient times, the number of individuals who could rise from the grassroots without relying on powerful backing was very few.
Therefore, no one thought Lin Zheyu was a grassroots Martial Artist without a strong background.
They speculated this Martial Artist named Xiao Yu might not originate from a sect power in Great Wei.
"Mr. Su must be joking, I’ve lived in Great Wei since birth and haven’t left this continent."
"As for who I learned from, my teacher instructed me long ago not to disclose it lightly, I ask the three of you to please forgive me."
Lin Zheyu revealed a hint of helplessness with a smile, explaining.
"Mr. Xiao is too polite."
"Being able to join the Martial Alliance and pass its questioning heart trial proves there’s no issue with your background and no malice toward Great Wei."
"It was rather presumptuous of us to inquire into your background and whom you learned from."
"I offer a toast to Mr. Xiao as an apology."
Su Qingqing cheerfully lifted the wine cup in front of her and said with a smile.
"No need for apologies, I’m glad to meet you all. I toast the three of you." Lin Zheyu smiled as he raised his wine cup.
After the initial unpleasantness, the atmosphere in the box began to normalize.
Perhaps the strength Lin Zheyu demonstrated earlier earned the three’s approval; Han Ge and the others spoke to Lin Zheyu in an equal manner, even somewhat respectfully.
"Mr. Xuezizhao won’t be coming; he’s thrilled by the hunt and gone to challenge someone."
Suddenly, Han Ge set down his wine cup and said somewhat helplessly.
