Chapter 1788 247: Tempering Arrogance

During this period, he was too curious about the strength gap between himself and Lin Yifan, so he had to explore it.

"No!" Lin Yifan shook his head in response, straightforwardly, without any room for negotiation.

The Third Prince was somewhat displeased and disappointed, questioning: "Does Lin Gongzi look down on me?"

"That's not what I mean. I think the Third Prince need not let me, just do your best." Lin Yifan replied.

"Arrogant, conceited!"

"A mere High Immortal First Realm disciple dares to boast in front of the Third Prince of High Immortal Second Realm, really ignorant."

"Exactly, why would he be able to defeat the Third Prince? Giving him the same realm is already very gracious to him."

...

Lin Yifan's words stirred discussions among civil and military officials and the palace warriors. Many scoffed at his statement, not quite liking it.

Faced with Lin Gongzi's arrogant words, the Third Prince was momentarily stunned, then smiled slightly, responding: "Lin Gongzi, if not at the same realm, then there would be no fairness at all."

"Where is there absolute fairness in martial arts duels? If the Third Prince underestimates me, then there's no need for this duel." Lin Yifan replied, hands behind his back.

"Since Lin Gongzi is so confident, I, the Prince, will meet you."

The Third Prince was really curious about where Lin Yifan's confidence came from; if it was mere boastful talk, he would only look down on him further; if it was true strength, then it would be exciting and overturn his understanding of cultivation.

"Alright! Where is the duel location!" Lin Yifan asked.

"Just a piece of open land ahead will suffice."

"I like the Third Prince's spontaneity."

The two hit it off immediately, then each performed qinggong, flying to that open land, standing opposite each other, ready to duel.

After a brief standoff, the Third Prince transformed the Thunderclap Sword in one hand and shouted: "Come on!"

Lin Yifan also extended his right hand, transforming the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword in mid-air, moving with the shadow.

"Boom boom boom!"

Short weapons clashed quickly, as the two battled fiercely and turbulently.

The Third Prince did not use his true strength, suppressing his realm, and forcibly fighting Lin Yifan at the same realm.

Lin Yifan thought that without making the Third Prince suffer a bit, the other party would not know his power, so he performed the Seven-Colored Sword Technique, attacking the Third Prince.

The Third Prince was overwhelmed; the power of Lin Yifan's technique and sword qi seemed to be at the High Immortal Third Realm. How could it be so strong? Could it be his realm was not High Immortal First Realm?

No, the realm is correct; what is powerful is his martial arts.

This young man's martial arts were unpredictable, profound mysteries interwoven, beyond what ordinary people could resist.

He had to enhance his strength, trying his best to fight with Lin Yifan.

Seeing the Third Prince forced to use his full strength, the civil and military officials and palace warriors present were shocked.

It seems this young man's words were not mere bragging, but truly capable of fighting the Third Prince with full strength.

This was terrifying, as he was only High Immortal First Realm, a realm apart from the Third Prince, who is naturally talented and capable of fighting above his level, implying the other could fight across two levels.

To fight across two levels is something that only those with extraordinarily unique talent can achieve. Over thousands of years, such individuals are extremely rare.

Now, this Lin Gongzi, favored by the First Emperor, has achieved it. Could he truly be the heaven-chosen child, the future god of the Eight Desolations?

The Thunder King was also quite surprised.

This Lin Bufan's talent seemed even more outstanding than his third son's, could he indeed be the future god?

The First Emperor mentioned that this young man's father had shown great kindness to him and said the future depends on this young man. Could he truly know some hidden secrets?

The more he thought, the more unbelievable it seemed.

It might be possible that this world is not as peaceful as he imagined, a great war and chaos might be impending.

...

On the duel ground, although Lin Yifan could fight across two levels, fortunately, he was a realm higher than the opposing party, thus bridging this gap.

Despite this, the Third Prince had already conceded in his heart.

The title hanging over him for years, vanity, was utterly beaten off, disappearing completely at this moment.

In the Great Thousand World, talents emerge, he was just a cultivator with slightly outstanding talent among the masses and could not look down upon the heavens, standing at the world's peak.

The sword moved with the shadow, the thunder moved with the sword. At this moment, the Third Prince fought for Lin Yifan, aiding him in gauging the current tier of his strength.

Lin Yifan discovered he still could not fight across three levels; it seemed that unless his bloodline was smooth and pure, it was hard for his cultivation to take a step forward.

However, being zapped by the Heavenly Thunder Pearl increased his cultivation speed quite a bit; it was somewhat effective.

After battling continuously for several minutes, Lin Yifan got a basic understanding of his strength, thus ending the fight.

The next moment, he performed the Shadow-light Sword Technique, transforming into a shadow, instantly arriving beside the Third Prince, placing the Seven-Colored Immortal Sword across the Third Prince's neck, coldly saying: "You lost!"

Witnessing this scene, the civil and military officials and palace warriors drew a breath of cold air.

They thought Lin Yifan fighting across two levels was his greatest ability, unexpectedly, he could still subdue a similarly strong cultivator, truly horrifying to the extreme.

The Third Prince smiled bitterly; although it was within his expectations earlier, he didn't expect to lose so fast, so wholly; this made him realize the gap between him and Lin Yifan was like a chasm, difficult to surpass.

On the other side, the Thunder King could clearly sense that the martial arts Lin Yifan displayed were not below Heavenly Immortal level, most likely above Mysterious Immortal level.

That was terrifying, as in this World of All Things, rarely anything above Mysterious Immortal level material existed, including martial arts; it seemed Lin Yifan's identity was truly momentous, might be an exceptional genius from a higher plane.

Any force or sect in the Land of the Eight Trigrams is much stronger than the various nations in the World of All Things, thus being able to establish relations with them would have certain benefits for the nation's development and safety.

Now, he begins to understand why the First Emperor wanted them to fully cooperate with this little brother.

...

After being stunned, the Third Prince humbly said: "Lin Gongzi's martial arts are superb, cultivation profound; I concede willingly."

"Thank you, Third Prince, for the cooperation!" Lin Yifan stated seriously with an unrelated remark.

This is justified, although the Third Prince was wholeheartedly fighting him earlier, he clearly sensed, towards the latter half, the opponent had no fighting intent, no desire to win at all, hence he speculated the opponent was helping him test his current strength.

People help, naturally, one must be grateful, thus this sentence was not wrong, I believe the Third Prince should understand.

The Third Prince smiled bitterly, it seems this Lin Bufan Gongzi was indeed gifted beyond measure, nothing could escape him.
