135: Chapter 135: Snatch the Spot!

Lu Qingcheng then gave Lin Yi a slight nod, “I will wait for you!”

“I won’t make you wait too long!”

Lin Yi took the opportunity to grasp Lu Qingcheng’s smooth little hand, “Actually, I also plan to leave Shi Country!”

“You’re leaving too?”

Lu Qingcheng looked at Lin Yi with some surprise.

Lin Yi nodded, “Master had people from the Holy Mansion Main Academy capture him; I need to find a way to get to the Holy Mansion Main Academy to clear his name and rescue him!”

Hearing this, Lu Qingcheng’s gaze softened a lot as she looked at Lin Yi, “Do your best, but don’t be reckless.”

She knew that once she left, the task of rescuing Master Wu Liang could only be entrusted to Lin Yi.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi asked Lu Qingcheng to join him for a walk outside.

The two had already agreed that they must meet in the clouds above Central Province some day!

After exchanging their intentions, they called over Xi Yue, Li Chengfeng, and Bai Xiu, the three elders of the Holy Mansion.

As well as Lu Li from the Fierce People Gang and others.

They shared their plan with everyone.

“What, you’re both leaving?”

The faces of Xi Yue and the others changed abruptly, incredulously looking at Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng, “What will become of the Holy Mansion if you both leave?”

“Don’t you still have yourselves?”

Lin Yi looked at Xi Yue and the others with a smile, “After we leave, we’ll leave the Holy Mansion in your care.”

Xi Yue and the others all showed contemplative expressions; although they didn’t want to let Lin Yi and Lu Qingcheng go, it was clear that both had their reasons for needing to leave.

“Don’t worry, we will protect the Holy Mansion until you return.”

Xi Yue and the others said.

“But the Holy Mansion Main Academy might not be a place you can just enter as you please; will they allow someone from a branch academy to enter and conduct an investigation at will?”

They thought Lin Yi’s idea was good, wanting to save Master Wu Liang, but suspected the task might not be so simple.

Lin Yi, it seemed, might not even be able to get through the gates of the Holy Mansion Main Academy!

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown, the point was piercingly accurate, how to enter the Holy Mansion Main Academy indeed posed a problem.

“I do know of a way.”

At that moment, Lu Li, who had been silent up until now, spoke, giving Lin Yi a glimmer of hope.

“What way?”

Lu Li said, “The Holy Mansion is one of the top forces in the Eastern Domain; there are only two ways to enter the Holy Mansion Main Academy.”

“This first one is through the recommendation quota of the branch academies, which is more stringent, but since the Holy Mansion doesn’t acknowledge your Shi Country branch, that path is definitely blocked for you.”

“And the second way?”

Lin Yi asked.

“The second way is to participate in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries and stand out in it; you also have the chance to be selected by the Holy Mansion and become a disciple of the Holy Mansion Main Academy,”

Lu Li said.

“Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries?”

Lin Yi was hearing about this for the first time.

Lu Li nodded, adding, “The Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries is a grand event jointly organized by the Martial Arts Academy, Holy Mansion, and the other three top forces of the Eastern Domain, covering almost the whole Eastern Domain.”

“All the qualified young talents can register for the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries through their own countries.”

“The purpose of organizing the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries is to select the truly outstanding Heavenly Prides from the various countries of the Eastern Domain and take them in as disciples.”

“Any young talent who stands out in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries will not only become a disciple of the Five Top Forces of the Eastern Domain but also receive astonishing rewards.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled and asked, “Why haven’t I ever heard of this Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries back in Shi Country?”

However, Lin Yi immediately received a contemptuous look from Lu Li, “Because your Shi Country is too weak and doesn’t qualify to be included in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries.”

Lin Yi: “…”

“Is Shi Country really that bad?”

“What do you think?”

Lu Li said mockingly, “Even my Dragon Mountain Empire only has ten spots, and they’ve long since been divvied up by the Martial Arts Academy and the various major families.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi frowned slightly, and then his eyes shone with a glint of sharpness, “No matter what, I must get a spot!”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to fight for it!”

Lu Li said thoughtfully.

“Then let’s fight!”

Lin Yi’s face turned fierce, “The Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy should have spots, right?”

Lu Li nodded, “As the foremost power in the Dragon Mountain Empire, the Martial Arts Academy certainly has spots, not just one but as many as four.”

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up slightly, “If there are four spots, surely sparing one for me shouldn’t be a big problem!”

Not a big problem?

The members of the Fierce People Gang, including Lu Li, couldn’t help but scoff inwardly.

Which power would think they had too many spots?

The Martial Arts Academy probably wished that all ten spots of the Dragon Mountain Empire belonged to them!

For Lin Yi to snatch a spot from the jaws of the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy – difficult!

“Kid, where does your confidence come from that you can steal a spot from the hands of the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy?”

Lu Li stared at Lin Yi, “You don’t really believe that just because you severely injured Master Xuan Long, you can now control the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy, do you?”

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi looked at Lu Li and the others nonchalantly, “Isn’t that why I have you guys as reinforcements?”

“Topple the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy.

Out of the four spots, I’ll just take one; the three remaining spots are for you to divide.

Isn’t that a tempting offer?”

As they listened to Lin Yi brazenly make such arrangements, the brows of Lu Li and the others furrowed, yet they were also somewhat enticed.

Especially Han Cheng, Xu Sanqian, and Yue Buyi, who under normal circumstances wouldn’t stand a chance in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries.

But after hearing Lin Yi’s words, they felt like they had a shot!

If they could really take all four spots from the Martial Arts Academy, wouldn’t they also have the opportunity to join the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries?

The chance to join one of the Five Top Forces of the Eastern Domain?

Not just them, but even their families behind them dreamt of obtaining a spot in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries!

Securing such a spot would significantly boost their family’s status within the Dragon Mountain Empire.

“What do you think, are you interested in making a big splash with me?”

Seeing that several people were already tempted, Lin Yi immediately smiled and asked.

“Big sis, make a decision quick!”

Han Cheng was the first to jump out.

After following Lin Yi into battle everywhere for some time, he had reaped huge benefits and tasted the sweet fruits of success.

Now, with Lin Yi luring them with a spot in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries, if they were successful, it would mean a qualitative breakthrough for them!

“Do you all want to do it?”

Lu Li glanced at Han Cheng, Xu Sanqian, and a few other members of the Fierce People Gang, and without exception, they all nodded in agreement.

“Then let’s do it!”

A sharp look suddenly swept across Lu Li’s eyes, “Overthrow the Martial Arts Academy and snatch their spots!”

Seeing Lu Li nod in agreement, a slight smile curled up at the corner of Lin Yi’s mouth.

With the support of Lu Li, the members of the Fierce People Gang, and their families, his chances of bringing down the Dragon Mountain Empire Martial Arts Academy had undoubtedly increased greatly!
