Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 480 - 185: Hidden Dragon List (Part 3)

"Little Martial Uncle!?"

"Could he be the true disciple of the Infinite Sect who was admitted on exceptional terms?"

"I didn’t expect him to be so young!"

Deng An exclaimed.

The Infinite Sect had recently admitted a true disciple on exceptional terms, recruiting a wild martial artist from outside. The major forces had already received the news.

Deng An was also aware of it.

He was curious at the time, wondering who exactly this unknown martial artist was.

Now that they met, he didn’t expect him to be this young. If Huang Youwei hadn’t introduced him, he would have thought he was just a newly advanced martial artist in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

Deng Rou, who was sitting quietly on the side, also curiously sized up Lin Zheyu upon hearing the news. She seemed surprised that this person, who appeared even younger than her, turned out to be the newly appointed true disciple of the Infinite Sect.

"Haha, isn’t it surprising!"

"I was shocked at first too. Calling him Martial Uncle, it was hard for me to say it out loud." Huang Youwei laughed heartily.

"Mr. Lin, where are you from? With someone of your caliber, it’s surprising we haven’t heard of your exploits before?"

Deng Rou asked curiously.

She blinked and stared intently at Lin Zheyu, her voice gentle like a spring breeze.

"Just a countryman who spends years cultivating in the deep mountains. It’s normal for Miss Deng not to have heard of me." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin’s ability to be exceptionally admitted as a true disciple by the Infinite Sect must indicate considerable prowess. I wonder if you’d be interested in sparring later?"

Deng An laughed heartily.

He was eager to find out the true abilities of this person who directly became a true disciple.

Being from the Cyan Rainbow Sect, one of the four top sects, Deng An knew well the stringent requirements of the Infinite Sect for admitting wild martial artists on exceptional terms.

Being exceptionally admitted and directly taken as a disciple by Sect Leader Huang Baizhong, becoming a true disciple, was even more remarkable.

It is only possible to reach this stage if the other party is highly regarded, and their talent is deemed extraordinary.

"Deng An!"

"What do you mean by that? I call him Martial Uncle, and you call him Mr. Lin. Are you taking advantage of us?" Xu Kai’en interrupted before Lin Zheyu could speak. He cursed jokingly.

"Uh, what else should I call him?"

"I can’t call him Martial Uncle like you, can I?"

Deng An displayed an innocent expression, speaking in a helpless tone.

As they bantered, the banquet finally started.

A gentleman dressed in white, with a graceful demeanor, slowly walked out.

He smiled and walked to the center of the crowd, quieting the entire Grand View Tower.

"I am delighted you all came, it is Ji’s honor."

"You’ve probably heard about the demon warriors causing chaos outside Wuling City recently, right?"

"As martial artists, we should eradicate strong and support the weak..."

"..."

Ji Wei City gave a passionate speech, filled with righteousness, taking a moral high ground.

"This Mr. Ji is indeed eloquent!"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but admire after listening to the speech.

"Of course."

"Mr. Ji hails from the Confucian Sect, practices noble ideas, and genuinely serves the people, having done many good deeds. That’s why he’s been able to gather so many talented martial artists."

Huang Youwei explained.

"No wonder."

"I thought he practiced some profound idea, but his words are so infectious. It turns out to be the noble idea from the Confucian Sect."

Lin Zheyu suddenly understood.

He suddenly remembered Xi Shixin, who was also a martial artist from the Confucian Sect and once took the imperial exams.

"Well said!"

"Mr. Ji is right, we martial artists should uphold justice, slay monsters and demons, and take responsibility for the world."

Many martial artists echoed loudly.

Even Lin Zheyu felt a natural sense of agreement.

"Thank you all for your recognition. After the banquet, those willing to follow me out of the city to hunt demon warriors, please come and register."

"..."

Lin Zheyu glanced at Huang Youwei: "You’re going too?"

"No."

"It’s very dangerous outside now. Most of the surviving demon warriors are experts at the Huajin level. Going there with my level of skill would be courting death."

Huang Youwei shrugged, speaking with self-awareness.

"Why did you come if you aren’t going?"

Lin Zheyu said somewhat speechlessly.

He noticed many martial artists eager to try, preparing themselves.

"Can’t I come if I’m not going?"

"If Heng Qiming hadn’t been coming, I wouldn’t be here." Huang Youwei chuckled.

He came specifically for Heng Qiming.

He finally found an expert willing to help him, heard that the other guy would come to the banquet today, and managed to get himself an invitation to join.

"..."

Lin Zheyu was left speechless.

This behavior is so typical of Huang Youwei.

"Is Mr. Lin going?"

"Actually, this action won’t be as dangerous as Mr. Huang said."

"With Mr. Ji’s backing by the city garrison, they should deploy the garrison for the operation."

"While the city garrison is strong, the top experts need to guard Wuling City, and not many can be dispatched to suppress the outside villages, hence needing the help of us sect disciples."

"With us cooperating with the military formations, holding back the Huajin level demon warriors should be manageable."

"There won’t be much danger with the military formations’ protection." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Deng Rou said.

For them, it’s a valuable training opportunity.

With the help of military formations, facing Huajin level demon warriors firsthand is a noteworthy experience.

Many martial artists would be eager to encounter a few demon warriors outside the city, treating them as practice.

No doubt, Luo Manghan would be among them.
