Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 22: Defeated Old Disciple

"Interesting!"

Lin Yi faintly smiled.

Though this old disciple's Huashan Swordplay had reached advanced stage, Lin Yi still didn't feel pressured as his battle experience was too simply too rich.

To God-ranked players who slaughtered all their way up from millions of players, battle had become their lifelong theme.

He had seen too much martial arts.

Most of their moves had all seen by him before.

He had also seen various strange style of playing. Underhanded style, vicious style, etc.

He was too familiar with all of these.

These players had developed those moves to various bizarre style. All martial arts moves had their own tricks.

With regards to battle experience, players were much stronger than natives.

Players would grind their experience almost every day. But natives were different. They needed to meditate and practise. The more skilled a native was, the less chance he/she to act personally.

In the game, Lin Yi had reached the strength of a peak expert.

Apart from those peerless experts who would rarely appear and peak experts who had supreme martial arts.

Lin Yi could defeat everyone else.

It could be said that Lin Yi had managed to reach the point of dominating the pugilistic world.

This was precisely the strength of a God-ranked player.

.

The old disciple's attack was very sharp, as if billowing raging waves, he ferociously attacked, giving off feeling of suffocation.

However, that was only true for new disciples.

They had never seen stronger martial arts before, hence they had limited vision, making them feel Huashan Swordplay of advanced stage was so powerful.

As for Lin Yi, he only thought of this as interesting.

Even if he had reached the same stage and had the same attack point, seemingly had the same strength.

But Lin Yi didn't have any battle intent.

He had enough methods to break the old disciple's attack in one attack, defeating him in one attack.

Each God-ranked player had the strength to crush anyone on the same stage.

However, if he were to defeat this old disciple in one attack, that wouldn't be fun at all.

If he displayed too much of his strength, causing no one who dared to come, how would he grind reputation and obtain combat experience points?

Lin Yi had understood on how passive quests worked.

He only had to stress one point, which was to let the stream flow steadily.

Regardless of how many strong opponents he defeated and how much reputation he obtained.

He would only be able to obtain that much combat experience points.

Only with steady stream, he could increase his reputation repeatedly.

This way, he could maximize the combat experience points he could obtain.

How rare was combat experience points?

Lin Yi didn't dare to become a wastrel, throwing away that much combat experience points in vain.

Therefore, he didn't defeat the old disciple directly and played with him instead.

Of course, his level of playing was quite high.

The old disciples didn't detect that he was playing around.

What they saw was Lin Yi was putting in all his efforts to resist the old disciple by defending to the point of even droplets couldn't enter.

The old disciple was like the great waves and Lin Yi was the boat amidst the waves, shaking and crumbling.

The new disciples who saw this clenched their hearts, fearing Lin Yi would be defeated.

If even Lin Yi was defeated, then these new disciples would really be desperate.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, fighting!"

Numerous new disciples waved their fists and shouted.

"How come Senior Brother Lin Yi seems to be at disadvantage?" A new disciple asked in a soft voice.

"Shut up! How could Senior Brother be at disadvantage? Don't you know Senior Brother Lin Yi's fighting style? He would wait until his opponent uses up all his moves before retaliating." Someone instantly glared at that new disciple, reprimanding at him.

"But" The reprimanded new disciple didn't dare to speak randomly again as he was being glared by everyone around him. If he dared to speak words like Senior Brother wouldn't make it', he feared he would be torn apart by those around him who supported Senior Brother Lin Yi. But as far as he saw, Senior Brother Lin Yi was really at disadvantage, seemingly could be defeated at any moment.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi will certainly win. Certainly."

"Senior Brother Lin Yi won't disappoint us!"

All of the new disciples were clenching their fists and biting their lips.

The situation on the stage was very delicate. Lin Yi was pressured by the old disciple to the point where he could only parry his attacks. The old disciple was howling in excitement, madly attacking.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi won't be defeated. He won't" The new disciples murmured. Though it seemed as if they were cheering for Lin Yi, in fact, they were cheering for themselves.

Because Lin Yi's situation was becoming more dangerous. His defence seemed as if could be broken at any moment.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is playing around with the old disciple. It must be like that. With Senior Brother Lin Yi's unfathomable strength, how can he be easily pressured by the old disciple?" A new disciple seemed to detect something, pointed at Lin Yi's back and spoke with a loud voice.

Everyone around him seemed to be started. All of them stared at the fighting figure of Lin Yi, seemingly to understand something and felt relieved.

"That's right. Senior Brother Lin Yi must be playing around with the old disciple!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi's fighting style isn't like this. He always faced his opponents with mild expression, unlike this battle where he seems to be in difficulty. He must be playing around with the old disciple!"

"Haha, nice analysis. Senior Brother Lin Yi is simply too bad. To think he would play around with the old disciple, but I like it!"

"I like it too! Senior Brother Lin Yi is really great at venting his anger!"

"If those old disciples knew that Senior Brother Lin Yi is playing around with them, do you think they will go crazy from anger?"

"Well, it's better if they do. Who told them to be so bullying?"

Well, Lin Yi didn't know exactly how did the game got away either. In short, his acting didn't reach the passing grade and he was destined unable to become an actor. To think the new disciples would hit the mark by a fluke and found out the truth!

"So that's how it is! It turns out Senior Brother Lin Yi is playing around with him. That's why I said it's impossible for Senior Brother Lin Yi to be at disadvantage!" Jiang Xiaoyu loosened his breath and swept away the cold sweat on his forehead. He was indeed shocked previously. This was the so-called confusion raised from being too concerned. He actually didn't see it before. Yet some onlookers managed to see through it. This made him feel ashamed.

"That's right. Senior Brother Lin Yi's martial arts stage is frighteningly high. With his unfathomable strength, how could it be possible for him to be unable to retaliate against the old disciple at all?" Yu Hai was roused as well. He changed his line of thoughts and found out a lot of doubt, "Even Han Bai can fight neck to neck with the old disciple, and Senior Brother Lin Yi is someone who could defeat Han Bai easily! Even if Han Bai put in all his efforts these past days and made a lot of progress, but Senior Brother Lin Yi practised harder than him. How is it possible for his strength to be weaker than Han Bai's? As such, it can be determined that Senior Brother Lin Yi is playing around with the old disciple!"

"But what's the reason for Senior Brother Lin Yi to do this?" Yu Hai frowned and sank in his own thoughts.

"Cheh, do you even need to think about it? This group of old disciples is too bullying so Senior Brother Lin Yi is avenging us. If he don't play around with them, how can he avenge us?" Jiang Xiaoyu's mouth twitched as he wasn't used to see Yu Hai deep in his thoughts.

"That's not right. Why would Senior Brother Lin Yi do something so silly? There's deeper meaning by doing so. It's just that we can't see through it!" Yu Hai shook his head and said while frowning.

"You"

Though Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to refute, he couldn't find the words to do so. As such, he could only stare fiercely at Yu Hai.

Because what Yu Hai said seems very reasonable.

Senior Brother Lin Yi, unlike mischievous Jiang Xiaoyu, always did his things seriously. How could someone like this is simply venting his anger?

"Lin Yi, what are you exactly doing?"

As someone defeated by Lin Yi and personally fought with the old disciple, Han Bai had seen through that Lin Yi was playing around compared to anyone else. What made him frown was that he couldn't see through the reason for Lin Yi to do so.

Couldn't he just defeat this group of old disciples in swift, fast, and crisp manner so that they wouldn't dare to come back again?

Why would he play around with them? Why bother let them feel they still had hopes and made them feel that Lin Yi was only slightly stronger than them?

Wouldn't he be afraid that more old disciples would come and cause trouble?

No matter how smart Han Bai was, he wouldn't be able to think of the existence of game system.

He wouldn't be able to guess that Lin Yi was precisely doing this so that more old disciples would come and trouble him either.

After all, by defeating old disciples who came to find trouble in front of the new disciples would increase his reputation. As his reputation increased, he would gain achievement rewards from passive quests.

However, if he were to display too much of his strength and scare them away, Lin Yi could only go and find top hundred lower courtyard disciples to grind experience.

Top hundred disciples only had one hundred people so they amounted to a hundred thousand combat experience points only.

The amount was limited.

But old disciples who came to find trouble was different. If they weren't here to find trouble, defeating them wouldn't yield any experience either.

What Lin Yi wanted to do now was to have more old disciples that weren't included in top hundred lower courtyard disciples to come and cause trouble.

The more old disciples meant the more experience!

Lin Yi would never refuse combat experience points.

He needed combat experience points to practise internal strength or higher grade martial arts in the future.

Almost all of the new disciples had found something amiss but the old disciples were still left in the dark.

The three old disciples who came to find trouble intended to probe out Lin Yi's martial arts after all. Therefore they weren't clear with regards to Lin Yi's real strength. As such, they could only determine Lin Yi's strength by looking at the situation on the stage.

Seeing Lin Yi who was at disadvantage made them feel this was Lin Yi's real strength. They had never suspected that Lin Yi had ulterior motives and concealed his real strength to play around with them!

.

"Hahaha, so the one ranked first among new disciples and is more talented than Hai Bai is merely so, nothing out of ordinary! From what I see, you can't even be compared to Han Bai! Han Bai could even meet force with force and exchange moves with me before defeated after exchanging two to three hundred moves. Yet you could only dodge and defend. I look down on you greatly!"

The old disciple wielded his sword, his sword light danced around, and mocked loudly.

As his spirits ran high, his attacks became even more violent.

Lin Yi didn't reply him. He rejoiced secretly in his heart. Fortunately, this group of old disciples didn't find out that he was playing around. Even if the new disciples were shouting that he was playing around, none of the old disciples believed them.

They only believed what they had seen. The reality proved that Lin Yi was beaten to the point of unable to retaliate. They felt what those new disciples had spoken were merely their wishful thinking.

Because of this, it made Lin Yi's act became more realistic.

Facing the old disciple's attacks, he could only dodge to the right or left and seemed to be really helpless.

He would escape narrowly each time, making the old disciple feel like he could defeat him with the next attack.

However, an attack followed another.

The old disciple who kept attacking was tired and out of breath, almost lay on the ground. Lin Yi, however, hadn't been defeated yet.

The old disciple was almost exhausted to dead!

When the old disciple was out of strength, Lin Yi used an ordinary move and defeated the old disciple.

Lin Yi won, the old disciple lost!

The crowd cheered excitedly.

"Hmph, it was merely because of luck. Facing me, he won't have the same luck again!"

One of the other two old disciples stood on the stage and sneered.
