Chapter 471: I Will Defeat You
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
The Sun had just rose, shedding down bright light that reflected off Yunzhou's northern most mountain ranges.
Here lies one of the nine most prestigious Houses, the House of Wan Jian!
A man wearing a black robe stood calmly and admired the giant mountain peak before him. A different look of emotion flashed across his eyes.
The mountain range was kilometres tall and had a very magnificent demeanor. No matter how much the wind blew or rain poured, it remained unmoving. At the bottom of the mountain, stood a giant boulder. On it carved several gold characters that gave off a profound vibe.
The House of Wan Jian.
Legend had it that a few hundred thousand years ago, a giant mountain suddenly emerged from the ground and grew upwards through the cloud. It stood just like a sword. Then, a nomadic cultivator noticed the divinity of the place and made it his home.
Then, this powerhouse decided to start a House of his own. Thus, he began scouting for worthy cultivators and eventually established the House of Wan Jian!
Then, the Wan Jian House gradually became stronger and more prosperous. Nowadays, after thousands of years, it has become one of the strongest forces in Yunzhou!
In this House, there were as many powerhouses as there are clouds in the sky. The House composes of 12 different Sword Peaks, and each Peak Leader is a leader of the completion level. The Supreme Headmaster was a powerhouse in the original level. In the entire Yunzhou, he was considered one of the best!
There were rumors that Dao Wu Ji was the strongest Heaven's Favorite of his generation and could easily suppress all other Supreme Headmasters currently in power. Of course, this was merely a rumor. After all, it has not been proven after all these years.
However, there would be no waves if there was no wind. Since such a rumor existed, it means Dao Wu Ji was strong, very strong!
"So this is one of the nine Houses, the Wan Jian House… Even its location is divine and overpowering."
Staring at the countless mountain ranges, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with emotion and he exclaimed, "I should've arrived eight years ago. Yet because of all those various reasons, I wasted so much time."
"But, if I smoothly arrived to the Wan Jian House, I never would've experienced what I experienced and I wouldn't have as much achievements as I do today."
Smiling, Ling Xian no longer hesitated and marched forward.
During these past eight years, the Wan Jian House acted out of line in Yunzhou just for him. Now, he naturally have to go into the House and pay them back.
Just like that, Ling Xian strolled in with a grin on his face.
Strangely, as one of the top forces in Yunzhou, they had no guards at the door and no arrays were in place.
Ling Xian thought this was very strange. Logically speaking, even the most powerful House wouldn't dare to be so slack. After all, if there was no inhibition, then anyone can enter and leave at will?
What if a few powerhouses snuck in? Even with the Wan Jian House's capabilities, they will still incur a loss. Ling Xian felt that it was very strange and almost unreal.
Is it supposed to be this easy to enter the dominating Wan Jian House?
Ling Xian lost his composure and shook his head, "How strange. Its door is open for everyone to enter. After I walked for so long, I still don't see a single person. It really is strange."
As he mumbled, he continued to stroll with a questioning mentality. Even after a while, he still hasn't seen a single person. This made him think that something had happened to the Wan Jian House.
Sadly, he knew very little about the Wan Jian House and it was difficult for him to know what was considered normal. As he walked on, he arrived at the back stage of the battle ring in the Wan Jian House, and he finally realized what was happening.
The entire battle ground was filled with people. Amongst them were highly respected Elders and also lowly descendants. At first glance, the entire battle ground was full – there were at least a few hundred thousand of people.
In the battle ring, two silhouettes were clawing at each other with horrifying Qi that shook the ground.
As he watched what was happening, Ling Xian though the Wan Jian House was hosting a combat competition. Only after he eavesdropped some people's conversation did he find out what was going on.
It seems like a Heaven's Favorite from the Shura House came to challenge the Wan Jian House and grasped everyone's attention. Of course, rather than "challenge", the word "provoke" was more appropriate.
This completion levelled cultivator was named Lin Tian. His sole purpose today was to slap Wan Jian House's face!
And the result was that the Wan Jian House really let this man slap them in the face! Since this battle started yesterday, countless Heaven's Favorites have been defeated!
Today, Lin Tian defeated many elders who were in the same cultivation level as him. This made the entire Wan Jian House feel humiliated.
Remember that this was one of the nine Houses, Wan Jian House. Out of all the 10 dynasties and nine Houses here, it was one of the strongest ones. Yet, here they were, unable to win against a single person. How could they not feel humiliated?
As much as they felt humiliated, they felt hopeless as well.
What could they do? Lin Tian came here under the name of "here to confirm the House's capabilities" and to "challenge those of the same level". Of course, this meant only those of the intermediate stage of the completion level fought against him. If those in the higher stages fought against him, then they would definitely claim victory.
Yet everyone of the same level here has been defeated by him. Nobody has been able to save Wan Jian House's face.
This was one of the weaknesses of this House. Among the younger generation, there were very few Heaven's Favorites. There were even less naturally talented cultivators from the youngest generation. Very few can be carry the mission of keeping the Wan Jian House strong on their back.
This was why Lin Tian was winning so easily and so harshly slapping the Wan Jian House in the face.
Just then, the battle that was currently going on ended. Without a doubt, Lin Tian won again. This was his 37th win.
Seeing this, everyone there tightened their fists and their faces were swollen red from humiliation. In the next second, they heard Lin Tian's insult and the anger they felt intensified.
"Haha, this is one of the nine Houses, Wan Jian Hou? How weak."
Lin Tian bellowed. His somewhat handsome face appeared to be full of contempt. He pointed at everyone with his black spear and laughed arrogantly.
"Dammit, he is acting so cocky! He is humiliating us!"
"Look at that son of a b!tch! Look at his behaviour! He is thinking so lowly of us!"
"Aye, do we really not have a single same-levelled cultivator who can defeat him?"
Everyone was infuriated as they glared at the young man in the battle ring. They wanted to chop him into pieces.
"A bunch of trash."
Against everyone's angry stare, Lin Tian chuckled mindlessly. Then, he swept around his spear and pointed it at every single spectator and made a presumptuous statement.
"Does anyone else dare to challenge me? I assume no. You lost 37 battles, how weak."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone became even more enraged. However, they knew very well that everyone who was at the same level as Lin Tian has already battled him. Nobody else qualifies.
In other words, the news of the Wan Jian House being defeated by a single person will soon spread around Yunzhou. When that happens, the Wan Jian House will utterly lose its reputation.
Thinking about it made everyone weak. They all tightened their fists and sorrow flooded their faces.
Just as everyone became hopeless, a calm voice attracted everyone's attention.
Merely four words were spoken. Yet these words were confident and allowed no doubts.
"I will defeat you."
