"Ye Ling? Isn't that the son-in-law from the Su family!?"
"Exactly, it's him! It seems the Lin family really has fallen, to resort to a son-in-law to represent them in the martial arts tournament!"
"Hahaha, this must be the biggest joke of the year in Jinling City! A second-rate family's son-in-law, representing the Lin family in the martial arts tournament!"
...
Someone recognized Ye Ling's identity and immediately mocked him.
Anyone who could become a dark energy martial artist was no fool.
They immediately saw that there was enmity between the Tian family and Ye Ling, and to please the Tian family, they naturally didn't spare their mocking words!
The Tian family was not something the Lin family could compare with, as the current crop of dark energy martial artists from the Tian family was so strong that they had even ranked among the top three of the six great ancient martial families!
If they could get on good terms with the Tian family, wouldn't their future path in martial arts be smooth sailing?
The group of Lin family members following behind Lin Jianyang all had gloomy expressions at this moment.
Many glared at Ye Ling and Ye Jiu with eyes full of resentment.
It was all because of these two, who had made them lose all their dignity!
Normally, people's contempt for the Lin family was only harbored in their hearts, but now, even those martial artists without any background dared to openly insult the Lin family!
"Family Head, he Ye Ling is just a son-in-law, what qualifications does he have to represent our Lin family in the martial arts tournament!"
Unable to bear this humiliation any longer, a Lin family member charged forward and said to Lin Jianyang.
Lin Jianyang ignored him, still looking at Ye Ling and said, "Ling'er, I've heard that Grandmaster Liu has agreed to fight for the Tian family..."
"Uncle Lin, no need to say more, just a Grandmaster, I haven't even considered him a threat."
Ye Ling spoke, cutting off Lin Jianyang's words.
Seeing Ye Ling so confident, Lin Jianyang sighed softly in his heart and didn't say anything more.
If the Lin family couldn't achieve a good ranking in this martial arts tournament, they would likely be excluded from the ancient martial families after the tournament!
Lin Jianyang believed that Ye Ling was not a reckless person; since he dared to speak such words, he must have his confidence!
"In that case, Uncle Lin won't advise you any further."
"Ling'er, I entrust this tournament to you on behalf of our Lin family!"
Lin Jianyang said gravely.
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, not taking to heart the rumors and gossip around him.
He gave Ye Jiu a look, who immediately understood and strode over to the box containing numbers.
Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd, Ye Jiu picked out two numbers.
"No one knows what got into the former executive officer; he just vanished into thin air, even Dominant Hall can't find any trace of him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu showed a slight smile on his face.
If Lin Jianyang knew that the previous executive officer had run away overnight out of fear of Ye Ling's identity, who knows what expression he would wear?
"Who knows, perhaps he had some urgent matters?"
Ye Ling said with a light laugh.
Lin Jianyang thought no further, as matters involving a Grandmaster-level powerhouse were beyond his imagination!
"Number one, come to the stage!"
The young man from Dominant Hall took the stage again and proclaimed loudly.
As his voice fell, two figures leaped onto the stage!
One was a young man from the Tian family, and the other was not from an ancient martial family!
As soon as they both reached the stage, the Tian family member immediately launched an attack!
"Bang!"
A solid kick landed on the other person's waist, directly kicking him off the stage!
"Pfft!"
The man fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this, the young man from the Tian family smirked, his face full of disdain.
"With such meager strength, you dare to participate in the martial arts tournament?"
With that, he walked down from the stage, his demeanor incredibly arrogant!
The first match from start to finish lasted merely three seconds!
The young man from Dominant Hall couldn't be bothered to go on stage, so he stood next to Liu Yun and again called out, "Number two, come to the stage!"
This time, both Martial Artists were not members of ancient martial families, and their strengths were quite evenly matched, each being at the peak of clear force, just a step away from latent force!
The two exchanged blows on the stage, seemingly unable to determine a winner for quite some time.
"Grandmaster Liu, at this rate, it's a waste of time. With this speed, the martial arts tournament won't finish even in half a month!"
A Clan Leader from one of the martial families remarked to Liu Yun.
Hearing this, Liu Yun nodded slightly.
He, a Grandmaster-level powerhouse of Dominant Hall, had no time to waste on such trival matters!
Watching these lower-level Martial Artists compete was indeed a waste of his time!
