Jiang Tao wore a look of astonishment upon hearing this. Lin Yifan was able to advance two minor realms in just over a month, truly unbelievable, a feat even someone known for rapid cultivation, like Brother Bai, might not achieve.
"If what you say is true, then he's truly terrifying!"
At this moment, many disciples from the Medicinal Saint Valley who had mocked Lin Yifan shut their mouths, looking in surprise at the rapidly moving figure.
The person under the most pressure was Liu Yang, as he was the one being targeted. If there was danger, he would be the first to bear the brunt, not anyone else.
Despite the immense pressure, remembering that he was one realm higher than Lin Yifan, he gathered his courage, drew his sword from its sheath, and prepared to face Lin Yifan's attack.
But he never expected that Lin Yifan's first move would be a fatal strike.
"Taiyi Light Sword, Streaming Light Overflowing!"
With a sword slash, all became silent.
Many disciples of lower realms were filled with fear; the power of Lin Yifan's sword had reached the Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage, they dared not accept it, Liu Yang might not be able to withstand it either.
"It's too terrifying! Cross-level combat, isn't this a skill reserved for the outstanding senior brothers?"
"Jiang Tao, you bastard, didn't you say he was weak? He's way stronger than you!"
Disciples at the Divine Transformation Third Realm were cursing Jiang Tao.
Ever since returning from the small world, Jiang Tao had been bragging about his prowess in the small world, about how Lin Yifan would run away with his tail between his legs when seeing him, and so on.
Jiang Tao hesitated, unwilling to face these senior brothers.
Because everything he had said before was just boasting. Actually, at that time, Lin Yifan already had the ability to defeat him, at the Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak; moreover, he was someone Lin Yifan let run away, someone Lin Yifan looked down upon.
Feeling this violent force, Xiaofang never imagined that Lin Yifan had grown to such a level; now even she was no match for Lin Yifan.
"Yifan, do you really have to fight so desperately?"
She knew why Lin Yifan progressed so quickly, and felt heartache for Lin Yifan; forcibly boosting one's realm would leave unfixable Great Dao scars, and these consequences would gradually manifest upon reaching the True Master Realm.
In other words, Lin Yifan might never touch the True Master Fifth Realm, or even the True Master Fourth Realm.
Feeling the fierce and violent force swiftly approaching him, Liu Yang, at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage, felt powerless to resist.
Lin Yifan was too powerful, beyond his imagination. At this moment, he was at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Just as he was at his wit's end, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the sword for him.
The person was Seventh Brother—Zhu Kang.
He was someone close to the First Brother; when he was good, he was affable, but when ruthless, he was scarier than anyone, known by all.
Liu Yang was here to vent for the First Brother, so Zhu Kang had no reason not to step in to save him.
Seeing a blue-clad disciple ruin his plans, Lin Yifan felt full of fury, angrily shouting, "Get out of the way!"
Although the opponent was a Divine Transformation Fourth Realm Early Stage cultivator, he was still not afraid; after all, anyone blocking his path today would die.
Zhu Kang remained unfazed, politely responding, "Earlier, it was my junior brother's fault, I apologize to Sister Fang on his behalf."
With the senior brother conceding, Liu Yang had no reason not to concede, so he chimed in, "Brother Zhu, I was the one who made the mistake, you don't need to apologize for me!"
Having said that, he went to Xiaofang and respectfully saluted, "Sister Fang, I'm sorry!"
"Mind your mouth in the future, otherwise no one will save you." Xiaofang sternly reprimanded.
Listening to Liu Yang's words earlier, she was already irritated, let alone Lin Yifan, who cherished her, so she actually harbored hatred towards Liu Yang; however, her nature was soft, not wanting to pursue the matter too much.
"Sister Fang has taught me well, Sister Fang has taught me well."
Liu Yang respectfully retreated, never once daring to lift his head.
Today, he faced a round of reprimands, losing face; it seemed the disciples of the Valley Master truly were not to be trifled with.
Seeing Liu Yang with a dejected look after apologizing, Lin Yifan restrained his temper a bit; then he issued a stern warning to the disciples present, "From now on, anyone who dares to insult my woman behind my back, I will never spare them."
These words were extremely jarring; Zhu Kang, standing in front of Liu Yang, was almost unable to resist teaching Lin Yifan, this arrogant youngster, a lesson.
What does it mean, "his woman"? Sister Fang wasn't his woman as long as she hadn't married him for a day.
However, in the end, he managed to hold back.
The Valley Master hadn't intervened in this matter, if he interfered, it would be courting death.
Among the disciples watching, some were startled by Lin Yifan's warning, some were dismissive, and some displayed bright smiles.
"Hmph! Interesting! Looks like there will be some excitement in the peaceful Medicinal Saint Valley in the future."
The speaker was a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm expert, not someone from Brother Bai's group, naturally wishing to see a fight between two powerful competitors.
On a distant rooftop, a young man in a white robe displayed a complicated expression.
The sudden appearance of a competitor made him a bit surprised; and what worried him most was Lin Yifan's potential strength.
His realm may be low, but he could raise it with time; so if Lin Yifan had good potential, he might actually catch up to him.
"Master! I will not concede, I will prove to you that I am stronger and more suitable as your successor."
The young man clenched his fist, and then disappeared from the rooftop.
In a corner of the Medicinal Saint Valley, Bright True Master revealed a satisfied smile.
Lin Yifan's potential was several times stronger than he imagined; perhaps he truly had the potential to help fulfill his wishes.
Many Elders were secretly observing this small conflict.
To be honest, they were quite amazed by Lin Yifan's strength. Despite his young age and low realm, he was able to comprehend the essence of the Third Layer of "Taiyi Light Sword," surpassing many disciples in the valley at the Divine Transformation Third Realm.
"Seems the Valley Master has taken in another outstanding disciple!"
They sighed, feeling happy for Bright True Master.
With this incident, Lin Yifan gained a bit of fame, but to earn the recognition of high-realm seniors, he still had a long way to go.
After calming down his emotions, Lin Yifan, accompanied by Xiaofang, took a step-by-step path leading to the high steps, entering the grand hall.
At this time, many Elders were present; Xiaofang introduced Lin Yifan to each of them.
Lin Yifan greeted them politely, showing great respect to each elder.
These people might be useful to him in the future, so it was necessary to pay them respect.
After meeting most of the elders, Xiaofang led Lin Yifan to the resting room, allowing him to sit down, drink tea, and take a break, while also asking about rescuing Sister Jiajia in the west, to see if it was as she had suspected.
After pouring tea, Xiaofang sat beside, asking, "Yifan, did you rescue Sister Jiajia?"
