I rely on myself

Chapter 257: The Pinnacle of Martial Arts
As if he had made a decision, Luo Hao said directly: "Lin Yuan, I have remembered your name."

Although this sentence was confusing, it should not be a bad thing if we understand it from the surface, so Lin Yuan directly replied: "Thank you very much, Master."

"But this is just my affirmation of your ambition."

Then, Master Luo Hao directly stated why he said that. It was because Lin Yuan had set this great ambition since he was a child and had persisted until now, and even actually accomplished it.

It is precisely because of this that Sect Leader Luo Hao reluctantly put Lin Yuan on the same level as himself, if he could pass the next test.

"It doesn't mean that I allow you to do this. It's not for anything else, but because I am the king of this land now!"

The strong ego was revealed in these words, allowing anyone to understand instantly.

"That's why I must be responsible for this land. I have heard about the power of steel you created from my apprentice, but that's all!"

Hearing this, Lu Yinghua couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he already had a premonition of what would happen next. Although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt helpless when it really happened.

"I won't believe one-sided words, so it's easy to get my permission. Come forward and show me your strength and the work you are proud of. Otherwise, just leave!"

Sect Leader Luo Hao stated his demands and also told Lin Yuan a way out. If there were other people who were familiar with Sect Leader Luo Hao present, they would definitely be shocked.

Because of this tolerance, there were people who wanted to meet with Sect Leader Luo Hao by asking her for permission. Even if an ordinary person got Sect Leader Luo Hao's permission to meet, but if the request was not to her liking, he would not lose his life, but would suffer.

Although Sect Leader Luo Hao did not agree with Lin Yuan's request, he did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he just left if he gave up. This was undoubtedly the first time.

As for such tolerance, Lin Yuan could only give one answer.

"Is that so? Then please let me pass here." As he said this, Lin Yuan stood up straight and pulled out the steel sword from the void. His body stood very naturally without revealing any flaws. It was undoubtedly a posture for battle.

"My choice is that I will personally demonstrate this power, the power of steel that I pursue."

Lin Yuan said that he was ready to make his choice. When Sect Leader Luo Hao saw this, his expression did not change at all, but the atmosphere around him began to become heavy, giving people a sense of oppression, and it was getting heavier and heavier. There was no doubt that the source of this was coming from Sect Leader Luo Hao in front of him.

As the feeling of oppression continued to grow, Lu Yinghua gradually retreated as if he could not bear it anymore, and finally left the hill, but he would definitely observe the situation here through other means.

Feeling his body getting heavier because of the aura emanating from Sect Leader Luo Hao, Lin Yuan secretly admired him in his heart.

It is not true to say that the aura of Master Luo Hao is amazing. After all, Lin Yuan has also been baptized by the aura of Marquis Woban, who is also a godslayer. The aura of the two is probably at the same level.

But unlike the Marquis of Vauban who was not proficient in magic and martial arts, Luo Hao, as the recognized pinnacle of martial arts, naturally had some experience in the use of momentum. For ordinary magicians, because the gap was too huge, the momentum of both was equally amazing, but at the same level, Luo Hao's use was undoubtedly more amazing.

The evidence is that Lin Yuan's body was affected by this. Although he only felt a little heavy, it was enough to become a flaw in such a high-level battle.

The two sides were in a stalemate like this, time seemed to slow down, and every second seemed so long.

Lin Yuan's eyes were fixed on the beautiful figure in front of him, but underneath this beauty was a beauty that had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, even reaching the purity of returning to its original state.

There was no flaw. Lin Yuan did not see any flaw in it. Although it was embarrassing, it was true. He had been practicing martial arts diligently since he was a child, and he had also shared his practice results in other worlds through the misty space. But even so, he could still clearly recognize that his martial arts were still far behind the existence in front of him.

Without seeing any flaws, he naturally could not act rashly, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage for no reason. However, such a stalemate was also quite exhausting. Lin Yuan could feel that his concentration had begun to decline.

In this dilemma, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly blurred. The figure that was originally more than ten meters away was now less than three meters away from him. At the same time, a hand was stretched out and swung towards him without him noticing.

If you just look at it from the surface, this palm has neither any amazing power nor any intense airflow. It is very ordinary, giving people the illusion that it is just a simple extension of the hand.

But Lin Yuan would not do so, because the moment he saw this seemingly ordinary palm, an alarm went off in his mind. It was his intuition that told him that this palm was very dangerous.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan's body, which had been trained for many years, moved subconsciously. With a twist of his wrist, the steel sword blade pointed towards the palm.

Leader Luo Hao is indeed very strong, but he is still a mortal body. It is impossible for him to fight head-on with just his bare hands and a sharp steel blade, so Lin Yuan responded in this way.

In response to this, Sect Leader Luo Hao gave a response, like a fish swimming in the water or a bird flying in the sky. In short, it was a trajectory that Lin Yuan could not imagine.

The palm of Master Luo Hao drew a wonderful trajectory, and then in the moment when Lin Yuan had no time to react, he instantly changed his target and hit the side of the steel sword held by Lin Yuan.

A huge force was transmitted from the sword blade to Lin Yuan's arm. If Lin Yuan had not grabbed it with all his strength, his weapon would have been knocked away. But even so, the trajectory of the sword was inevitably changed, leaving Lin Yuan wide open.

Not missing such a good opportunity, Sect Leader Luo Hao stretched out his other hand in an instant, as gracefully as dancing but concealing incredible power, and swung it towards Lin Yuankong's wide-open chest.

There was no time to think of any countermeasures at this critical moment. Lin Yuan followed his body's instinct to dodge. He did not care about his image and just rolled to the side, dodging the attack.

Although it was ungraceful, it was a very effective move. Lin Yuan was very self-aware and knew that his martial arts could never compare to that of Luo Hao, so he didn't need to worry about manners or anything, as long as it was useful.
