Chapter 60

The three people ignored the surrounding Yin family members and walked swaggeringly toward the stone platform.

"It's a spirit bird. Could it be someone from the Four Symbols Sect?"

Someone on the stone platform exclaimed immediately.

The elders sitting on the chairs couldn't help but look at each other, seemingly also greatly surprised.

"Let's go. Since distinguished guests have come to the door, let's all go and see."

Yin Linglong was also full of suspicion, but after thinking for a moment, she stood up decisively and took Wang Yu to meet them first.

After the other elders looked at each other, they also followed closely without a word.

Of the three who came, two were in front, talking in low voices, and the third was behind, with a smile on his face.

"Yu Family Head, this fellow Daoist is..." Yin Linglong, who had just stepped off the stone platform, nodded to the middle-aged man in the soap robe on the right as soon as she saw the faces of the two in front clearly, but instead bowed slightly to the white-faced man in his thirties on the left.

"I am Shi Hai, the current outer sect deacon of the Four Symbols Sect. I came uninvited this time; I hope the Yin family head will not take offense." After the white-faced man's gaze swept over Yin Linglong's stunning appearance, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he then cupped his fists and said.

"So it really is a deacon from the upper sect. The Yin family has been negligent; please take your seat." Although she had expected it, Yin Linglong's heart still sank slightly. She stepped aside, and the Yin family clansmen behind her all bowed respectfully.

While bowing, Wang Yu's gaze couldn't help but fall on the last person.

That was a young man of twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a blue robe, with an ordinary face and a gentle expression, giving people a feeling of steadiness and perseverance.

This is Yu Xiaoming!

Seeming to feel Wang Yu's gaze, the young man's gaze swept over.

Wang Yu looked back.

Yu Xiaoming suddenly smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Wang Yu's pupils shrank slightly.

For some reason, this person actually gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

At this time, the Yin family members had already crowded Shi Hai onto the stone platform.

"I came here by coincidence because the Yu family head used the family token to recommend Yu Xiaoming to our sect to participate in the entry test. When I arrived at the Yu family, I heard the Yu family head say that Yu Xiaoming intended to become a son-in-law of the Yin family and also wanted to compete with another person to decide this marriage."

"Haha, I don't have any big hobbies; I just like watching the fun, and actual combat ability is also part of the entry test, so I let Fellow Daoist Yu bring me along. I wonder who from the Yin family wants to fight Yu Xiaoming?"

After Shi Hai sat in the main seat vacated by Yin Linglong, he asked the Yin family members with a smile.

"Junior Wang Yu, I have met Shi Zhishi Shi." Wang Yu walked out directly from behind Yin Linglong and bowed.

"You are surnamed Wang, not a Yin family member? Why are you representing the Yin family to compete with Yu Xiaoming?" Shi Hai looked Wang Yu up and down and asked seemingly casually.

"Junior is Linglong's fiancé. Fellow Daoist Yu wants to snatch love by force, so I have to fight." Wang Yu replied calmly.

"Oh, but how did I hear that Yu Xiaoming had long intended to become a son-in-law of the Yin family, but his beloved was snatched away by you?" Shi Hai laughed.

"Shi Zhishi Shi, when did I become Yu Xiaoming's beloved?" Yin Linglong raised her eyebrows upon hearing this and asked, looking directly at Shi Hai.

"Miss Linglong, ever since I saw you five years ago, I have fallen in love with you at first sight and admired you immensely. It is not an exaggeration to say you are my beloved." Yu Xiaoming explained faintly opposite her.

The Yu family head smiled and said nothing on the side.

"You..."

Yin Linglong was so angry that her beautiful face changed color, and she was just about to scold something when she was interrupted by Shi Hai waving his hand.

"Yin Family Head, I don't care what kind of relationship you had before or what agreements you had. But I came here this time just to watch this competition. So, this deacon asks the Yin Family Head one question: is it true that whoever wins this competition now will be your husband and can become a son-in-law of the Yin family?" Shi Hai stared at Yin Linglong and asked with deep meaning.

Hearing this, Wang Yu frowned and looked at Shi Hai deeply.

"That's right, whoever can win the competition will be my, Yin Linglong's, ideal husband." Yin Linglong seemed to realize something, her face somewhat pale, but she still gritted her jade teeth and replied firmly.

"Good, good. Then as an outer sect deacon of the Four Symbols Sect, I will witness this competition. I think whoever wins will leave a beautiful story for the Tongzhou cultivation world. Can this competition begin? I'm a bit impatient." Shi Hai laughed again and clapped his hands repeatedly.

Seeing this, the Yin family members couldn't help but whisper to each other.

After Yin Linglong and the Yu family head looked at each other, neither had any intention of objecting.

Subsequently, Wang Yu and Yu Xiaoming walked off the stone platform and came to the middle of the martial arts field.

Wang Yu was carrying a green-shimmering long saber in his hand.

This was a weapon that Yin Linglong had specially found from the Yin family treasury two days ago.

According to Yin Linglong, besides the material used being relatively rare and particularly light and sturdy, this Qingfeng Saber had no weapon patterns inscribed on its surface, so it was not considered a magical artifact.

Opposite him, Yu Xiaoming stood there empty-handed, looking leisurely.

Wang Yu recalled the information about the other party that Yin Linglong had inquired about, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Both sides are not allowed to use talismans or pills, are not allowed to fly out of the martial arts field area, are only allowed to use one magical artifact, ordinary weapons are not limited, and are not allowed to take the other party's life. Victory or defeat is determined by one side voluntarily admitting defeat or losing the ability to resist."

"The competition begins."

After a Yin family man floating in the air above the martial arts field explained, the competition began.

Wang Yu held the long saber horizontally in front of him and was about to make a move when he was interrupted by a sentence from the young man opposite him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard that you have extraordinary strength and have awakened your physical bloodline. Is it true?"

"Yes, so what?" Wang Yu didn't feel surprised and replied faintly.

In order to persuade the Yin family members, Yin Linglong must have told the clansmen about his identity as a bloodline awakener, so it was not strange that the other party knew about this.

"What a coincidence, I have also awakened my bloodline, and it is also a physical bloodline. So, how about this: to demonstrate your and my bloodline power, why don't you attack and I defend?" Yu Xiaoming smiled and said words that made Wang Yu stunned.

"Do you mean to say that you will only defend and not counterattack?" Wang Yu asked in surprise after coming back to his senses.

"That's right, that's what I mean. I, Yu, am not talented, but I believe my bloodline power has some ability in defense, and there should be no one in Tongzhou of the same rank who can break my defense. Of course, our cultivation is still shallow, so we must set a time limit."

"How about this: within the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, if you can break my defense and seriously injure me, I will lose. Conversely, I win." Yu Xiaoming looked at Wang Yu and said unhurriedly.

"Interesting. It just so happens that I am also very confident in my own strength. Very well, it's a deal." Wang Yu stared at the young man opposite him for a moment, then suddenly laughed coldly and agreed.

The Yin family members around the martial arts field and the people on the stone platform were all dumbfounded after hearing the conversation between the two.
