Every major sect has its own key disciples, who, compared to the legends of various empires, typically do not appear in public. However, within the knowledgeable circles, everyone understands that these key disciples are often the truly formidable ones!
The top-ranked core disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is Luo Xin! He is one of these key disciples!
At twenty-eight years old, he is no longer young. Compared to the youthful naivety he had when he first joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect a few years ago, this martial arts enthusiast, Luo Xin, has become increasingly mature and composed.
Brought to the Council Hall by Qianjizi, Luo Xin noticed the hopeful gazes of many Hall Masters directed at him. Even in front of the Sect Master, Luo Xin appeared unremarkable. His face was not particularly handsome, but it had a ruggedly chiseled contour that gave off a sense of stability and coldness.
However, even with his rock-like demeanor, Luo Xin understood the etiquette between elders and juniors. After respectfully greeting all the Hall Masters and the Sect Master, he calmly spoke: "Inner Sect Core Disciple Luo Xin pays his respects to all Shishu and Master. May I ask why you have summoned me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sky Whirlwind showed a look of relief and nodded. Although it had been some time since he last saw Luo Xin, it was evident that he had developed a certain poise; his speech and actions were very reasonable!
The Hall Masters looked at Luo Xin with fondness, as if he were the future hope of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect! However, many began to secretly release their Divine Consciousness to probe into his cultivation level.
Compared to the impression Feng Ye left on them, Luo Xin felt completely different. He sensed that multiple presences were locking onto his aura and immediately understood the Hall Masters' intentions. A smile appeared on his face, though it was somewhat stiff! At the same time, he unleashed a hidden force that directly repelled their probing!
This action astonished everyone present! It was not that Luo Xin's technique disrespected his elders; in fact, his hidden force did not harm anyone but merely rebounded all probing attempts as a form of instinctive self-protection! However, being able to instantly repel everyone's probing indicated a level of mastery that seemed beyond what a late Martial Saint could achieve!
Among everyone present, only Sky Whirlwind did not rush to probe Luo Xin's true cultivation level. Thus, while other Hall Masters were stunned by their failed attempts, this War God still wore a radiant smile!
"Good, very good! Luo Xin, you have grown stronger since I last saw you two years ago! Excellent!" Genuine praise came from the Sect Master's lips. Luo Xin remained humble and cautious as he replied: "I apologize for offending all Shishu; my recklessness is to blame. I hope you will not hold it against me!"
Upon hearing this, Qianjizi and others could hardly blame him! They were all smiles! It seemed that Luo Xin had reached at least the peak level of late Martial Saint; otherwise, he would not have been able to exhibit such power. This greatly boosted their confidence in overcoming Feng Ye!
However, Sky Whirlwind did not celebrate too early. After praising this outstanding Inner Sect Core Disciple, he continued: "Luo Xin, do you know why we called for you?"
Without hesitation or thought, Luo Xin straightforwardly replied: "I do not know. I have been focusing on my training and am not very aware of what has been happening in the outside world. Qianjizi Shishu did not mention anything during our journey. However, since Master and Shishu are so eager to see me, there must be something important at hand. Please enlighten me; I will certainly comply!"
Sky Whirlwind nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this. It seemed that Luo Xin had not lost his mind due to his obsession with martial arts; he understood that his Sect was like a mother to him and was willing to go through fire and water for it. This kind of sentiment was something he valued greatly!
Thus, he patiently explained the grand event of the World-Walking Prophet to this junior. He initially thought Luo Xin would be somewhat surprised, but after he finished speaking, Luo Xin’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations!
"I see. Since this is a battle concerning the honor of our Sect, I will do my utmost. However, I hope this battle can start soon because I do not want to waste too much time. I want to resolve it quickly and then continue my training!"
His tone was filled with immense confidence, and his determined expression almost made everyone believe that Luo Xin had already reached a level of martial prowess that surpassed all others. He seemed completely unconcerned about losing to Feng Ye from the Qin Empire! He even calmly made such a declaration!
It was as if he were saying that defeating a mere clown was trivial; after the fight, he would get back to his own matters—so let it come quickly!
Such a display was astonishing, causing Qianjizi and others to break into smiles, but Sky Whirlwind furrowed his brow slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Luo Xin’s extreme confidence.
As expected, Sky Whirlwind then said, “Luo Xin, one should not be too complacent in life, especially as a martial artist. This path is endless. You must understand that there are always people stronger than you and skies beyond the heavens. Never underestimate any battle!”
Upon hearing this admonition, Luo Xin paused slightly but did not feel apologetic. Instead, he boldly laughed and said, “Master, I do not disagree with your words. My confidence is built on absolute strength. As long as my opponent is not someone like you or Ye Feng, I have complete confidence in defeating them!”
This statement surprised Sky Whirlwind. Wasn’t this equivalent to declaring himself the strongest under Ye Feng?
This title once belonged to Chifeng of the Sky Abyss Empire, but those in the know understood that Chifeng was not truly the strongest under Ye Feng. The prophet of the Qin Empire’s Envoy Group had also held such a title! Unfortunately, who could have predicted that he had recently died suddenly in the ‘palace’?
Therefore, Sky Whirlwind did not quite agree with Luo Xin’s statement, but other Hall Masters began to blindly believe in him!
Feng Zhengyang even candidly laughed and said, “Good lad! It seems you consider yourself superior to the Old Man! Very well! I hope you can indeed defeat all opponents among the Martial Saints! Bring honor to our Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”
This old man did not doubt Luo Xin’s words at all; in fact, he seemed impressed! He recognized Luo Xin’s true strength—indeed at the peak of the late stage of a Martial Saint! And as for him, the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Arena, he was slightly behind that peak!
Facing Feng Zhengyang’s praise, Luo Xin smiled without humility and looked back at Sky Whirlwind, only to find that his master still did not seem very happy!
Sky Whirlwind furrowed his brows for a reason, as he could sense that the true realm of Feng Ye was actually quite similar to that of Luo Xin. However, Feng Ye was incredibly humble, showing no signs of brilliance, unlike the current Luo Xin, who was radiating confidence! It seemed he wanted everyone to acknowledge that his combat power was truly the best among all, second only to Ye Feng!
This difference made Sky Whirlwind feel a sense of unease! Those skilled in patience knew that being overly ostentatious was not a good thing; sometimes, a person who shines brightly could easily be defeated by an obscure individual. This was the truth that pride leads to downfall!
Thinking of this, Sky Whirlwind wanted to say something to teach Luo Xin a lesson!
But at that moment, Luo Xin made a reckless move!
He looked up and stared directly outside the door, his gaze seemingly penetrating through a wall ahead. Then his expression changed sharply, and a terrifying killing intent surged forth! The air became turbulent due to the killing intent, causing everyone present to shiver as they felt two powerful currents rush out, heading straight for the wall outside!
With a loud 'bang', the wall outside unexpectedly collapsed! Even more unexpectedly, two awkward and fearful figures appeared before everyone’s eyes!
Before the Hall Masters could reprimand Luo Xin for his boldness, they were already shocked by his intimidating gaze! To be honest, such a piercing look was not something an ordinary Martial Saint could emit. Even Feng Zhengyang, who had the highest combat power among those present besides Sky Whirlwind, could not guarantee he could bring down a wall from a hundred meters away with just a glance! That would require releasing a Martial Technique! But Luo Xin had not used any Martial Technique! This meant that this was merely the power generated by this kid's intent!
And this power of intent was indeed terrifyingly strong!
Even Sky Whirlwind was secretly taken aback! He was particularly shocked by the combat power displayed by Luo Xin! However, this shock was fleeting; as the legendary Ye Feng, what kind of scenes had he not witnessed?
For him, demolishing walls with mere gazes was nothing. If he wished, he could even take someone's life from a kilometer away with just a look! But when it came to Luo Xin, it was an entirely different concept!
The top of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Inner Sect Core Disciple was indeed no joke!
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive. Due to Luo Xin's unannounced action, not only were the various Hall Masters startled, but so were the two disciples hiding behind the wall eavesdropping!
Fang Wen and Ye Xuan, upon seeing Luo Xin's back, decided to slip away because they both knew how formidable this eccentric Core Disciple was. Thus, despite not fearing the various Hall Masters or their master, they resolved to leave upon spotting Luo Xin. However, they hadn’t managed to escape yet!
Luo Xin discovered them and, through a terrifying method, exposed their whereabouts! Now, under the gaze of a group of elders, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to! It was truly a situation that left them wanting to cry but without tears!
"Fang Wen! Ye Xuan! You two, come here!" Feng Zhengyang's explosive temper was once again confirmed. Initially, he didn't understand why Luo Xin suddenly made a move, but upon seeing these two sneaky kids, he could no longer hold back and shouted!
It was ridiculous; the adults were having a meeting in the Council Hall, and these two juniors were eavesdropping sneakily. It was outrageous that they hadn't been discovered!
When the Hall Master of the Martial Arts Arena shouted like that, Fang Wen and Ye Xuan, no matter how unwilling they were, still obediently walked over with faces full of despair, as if they were about to be punished, filled with deep resentment!
Once they entered the Council Hall, they couldn't help but glare fiercely at Luo Xin. However, the instigator Luo Xin didn't even glance at them; he remained calm as water, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him!
Throughout this series of events, only Sky Whirlwind maintained an immovable demeanor. No matter how shocked he felt inside, on the surface, he still presented himself as a dignified leader!
Watching these two poor boys being reprimanded, Sky Whirlwind waved his hand to stop Feng Zhengyang from further punishment and said, "Let them go. They're just kids playing around. But you two should avoid hiding in places like that to eavesdrop next time. Go on!"
After saying this, Fang Wen and Ye Xuan felt relieved and quickly ran away! This left Feng Zhengyang staring blankly. However, this Old Fart suddenly realized that if even Luo Xin could sense their presence, did the leader not know?
Everything seemed to take on a strange turn!
