Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 17: Rise



Chapter 17: Rise

Towards Yu Hai who came to pledge his allegiance, Lin Yi was astonished. Other than astonished, he also quite admired him.

During this time, actually Lin Yi didn't make big name for himself as his dominance was among the new disciples. He hadn't even entered the ranks of one hundred strongest lower courtyard disciples, yet Yu Hai had already made such a big determination to pledge his allegiance. Lin Yi couldn't help but praise him bold yet wise.

Bold, it was because the situation wasn't even clear yet. To be precise, there wasn't even any situation yet. Lin Yi hadn't even build up his influence and he had already made up his mind.

Wise, it was because Lin Yi hadn't even demonstrated much of his abilities, yet Yu Hai already managed to realize that Lin Yi wasn't ordinary.

Objectively speaking, Yu Hai who came to pledge his allegiance was exactly what Lin Yi desired.

To compete for the position of Huashan's head disciple, solely being strong in martial arts was never enough.

One also needed a large number of supporters.

Which meant influence.

Without influence nor foundation, how could one be eligible to compete for the position of head disciple?

Even the eligibility to become a candidate wasn't there.

Head disciple meant the selection of the successor to Huashan's Sect Leader.

The two most important points in the assessment was the strength of one's martial arts and one's leadership.

Being strong in martial arts was easily understandable. In a world where strength was revered, without strong martial arts, who would yield to you?

And leadership was something required by one with leader position. As a sect leader, one must be able to lead and develop the entire sect and to be able to manage affairs within the sect.

The two points mustn't be lacking.

And how to prove the leadership quality in someone?

That would be proved by one's supporters.

It meant one had to establish his/her own team and build up his/her influence.

Regardless of whether it was to compete for the position of head disciple or not, Lin Yi still had to set up his own team.

To fight alone in the upcoming pugilistic world's warring period would not work.

No matter how strong someone was!

But do not forget, within the strong was someone stronger. Within the evil cults, they had never been lack of strong individuals.

Instead, they had plenty of them!

Only by forming own forces and stand united could let one deal with the upcoming warring period.

Just as a glint flashed past Lin Yi's eyes who had sunk into deep thoughts, Yu Hai felt uneasy after seeing Lin Yi's expression. Fearing Lin Yi would refuse him, he suddenly said, "Senior Brother Lin Yi, you must have heard the rumor as well. There are some movements in the pugilistic world. The evil cults wants to create trouble and stage their comeback. To deal with this, the higher-ups of our Huashan sect is going to reinstate the position of head disciple to supervise all disciples. Senior Brother Lin must be interested in this position, right? I, Yu Hai came to pledge my allegiance today precisely because I saw Senior Brother Lin Yi's future. I am willing to use all my strength to help Senior to ascend to that position!"

A flash passed by. Lin Yi stared at Yu Hai with a frightening stare with a cloudy face and maintained his silence.

It was as if thunderbolts were going to strike down as the sky was overcast.

Yu Hai felt as if he was in the center of stormy seas. His sweat fell down akin to downpour as he looked at Lin Yi in shock. He hadn't expected that Senior Brother Lin Yi was this terrifying. Just by releasing his aura, he was suffocated to the point that he felt as if he was facing his death.

However, he didn't panicked. Instead, he became firmer in his determination.

This Senior Brother Lin Yi was unfathomable indeed. One with terrifying strength!

The choice to pledge allegiance to him absolutely wasn't a wrong choice!

Though Yu Hai was merely a youth of thirteen or fourteen years old, but because he was born in the great pugilistic world, he had seen how people from pugilistic world were superior than others and how they viewed commoners akin to weeds since he was small. This had caused him to mature much earlier.

His mind was comparable to adults'.

He was aware that if he wanted to survive in Huashan, stand out in lower courtyard, move to upper courtyard, learn superior martial arts, and become someone strong.

To pledge allegiance to someone strong was something he needed to do.

Having someone to help you and fighting alone was too much of a difference.

By fighting alone, one could only rely on oneself to comprehend the martial arts. Without talent surpassing the others, there would not be much achievements.

He knew his limitations. Though he was quite talented, but he wasn't someone in the same class as Han Bai.

There were many people whose talents were much higher than him, there were also many people more diligent than him.

To charge and stand in front of those people, external assistance was something essential.

Pledging allegiance to someone strong was a luxury investment.

It meant investing all his assets, life, and future prospects in a person.

Of all the people he could thought of, he felt Lin Yi was the one most suitable for him to pledge his allegiance.

This decision of his wasn't a decision made out of impulse. Instead it was a decision made after thorough consideration!

"Don't be mad, Senior Brother Lin Yi. No matter if you are interested in the position of head disciple or not, but if you want to hold your own ground in Huashan, if you want to hold your own ground in pugilistic world, establishing your own forces is definitely essential! In the current pugilistic world, there's no future in fighting alone. Only by owning own forces, one could hold one's own ground in pugilistic world! I believe the reason Senior Brother Lin Yi practises martial arts isn't because it's fun, right? Yeah it's undeniable that Senior Brother Lin Yi is filled with passion in pursuit of martial arts, reaching the peak of martial arts. However, during the journey of pursuing martial arts, only by establishing one's own forces could one obtain more resources to practise martial arts! Like godly weapons, spiritual pills and herbs, superior martial arts or even supreme martial arts!"

"To obtain these things alone is very, very difficult!"

"However if you have assistance, the difficulty would undoubtedly lessen!"

Yu Hai had completely made up his mind. Ignoring Lin Yi's cloudy face, he spoke with confidence.

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth slightly curved upwards. He became more and more appreciative towards this Yu Hai.

He never thought that this youth actually had such an insight.

What Yu Hai said was right. This world revered strength!

Only with powerful strength, one could obtain what one wanted.

And in order to obtain powerful strength, one needed powerful martial arts and capable subordinates.

Lin Yi let out a sneer, "Yu Hai, after saying so much, your real purpose is to ask me to help you increase your right. Am I right?"

After finishing his words, Lin Yi motionlessly stared at Yu Hai, causing him to experience tremendous pressure.

"That's right. I want Senior Brother Lin Yi to guide me and increase my strength!"

Yu Hai admitted generously, without any pretense.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi. Whether a force is powerful or not is highly related to the strength of its members. If my strength increases, you wil also stand to benefit!"

Lin Yi laughed, with loud sound at that.

"Alright. Yu Hai, I can't help but admit I'm starting to appreciate you! Your allegiance, I accept it! If you have any questions, you can find me directly. In the future, you can come to the first courtyard anytime without asking for permission beforehand. I have given the opportunity to you. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, just wait and see. I, Yu Hai, won't let you down. I believe that in near future, you will be proud of the decision you made today!"

Yu Hai was excited, his emotions were running high.

Lin Yi nodded his head, "What questions do you have? Say it and I'll answer it for you!"

Yu Hai was very excited as he finally succeeded!

In order to obtain Senior Brother Lin Yi's guidance, it could be said that Yu Hai had given his all!

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, I just wanted to ask how to reach intermediate stage for Huashan Swordplay and Huashan Movement Technique?"

"Intermediate stage means you can remember all moves by heart and execute them as you wish instead of rigidly adhere to one style. To reach this stage, you have to do these steps: Firstly, remember the proper usage of each moves and which move to execute in what situation. Secondly, to mix these moves with some basic techniques together and develop your own killing move which can do fatal damage in an instant to your opponent. If you can do these two steps, basically you have reached intermediate stage."

"Come, I have some pointers on how to execute Huashan Swordplay's moves properly. I will impart them all to you!"

"The first move, White Clouds Emerge. This is an offence, sweeping type move. It can be used for single attacks, group attacks, but it is most suitable for group attacks."

.

Three days later, Yu Hai with his sword on his hand was standing in front of the hundredth courtyard.

He thought back on the guidance Senior Brother Lin Yi had given to him in these past three days which helped him to deepen his comprehension towards sword techniques by a lot.

Only after being guided by Senior Brother Lin Yi, Yu Hai knew how deep was the comprehension of Senior Brother Lin Yi towards martial arts. No matter what kind of questions he posed, Senior Brother Lin Yi could answer them.

Furthermore the answers he had given was very accurate. Some solutions even caused him to see the shadow of superior martial arts.

In just three days, Yu Hai felt as if he had reborn.

He had entered a new realm in regards to comprehension towards martial arts.

He saw the limitless world of martial arts and from what Senior Brother Lin Yi had guided him, he only saw a tip of the iceberg.

Yet just this tip of the iceberg had let him increase his strength by leaps and bounds!

Even reborn completely!

His Huashan Swordplay had reached intermediate stage!

His Huashan Movement Technique was approaching intermediate stage!

His Basic Sword Technique and Basic Movement Technique had also reached intermediate stage!

He squinted his eyes, immersing himself in the vast world of martial arts.

Staring at the hundredth courtyard, he was feeling complex.

The hundredth courtyard which he had concerned most was unable to attract him anymore as he looked away at the further courtyards.

"Let's start from here!"

"I, Yu Hai, shall stand up from the place where I fell up!"

"From today onwards, no one shall be able to stop my rise!"

Holding his sword in front of his chest, he stood in front of the hundredth courtyard and shouted in a clear voice, "Yu Hai is here to challenge today!"

His powerful voice reverberated in the entire courtyards for new disciples, attracting quite a lot of people.

"It's Yu Hai!"

"It was said that he had entered the first courtyard and obtained Senior Brother's Lin Yi guidance!"

"Being guided for three days, I wonder where can bring his steps to?"

"Seeing his confident looks, seems like the ranks of one hundred strongest new disciples will change again!"

"I am really looking forward to it. He is someone personally guided by Senior Brother Lin Yi. The first person to be guided by Senior Brother Lin Yi is Jiang Xiaoyu which has reached fiftieth rank and is still carrying fierce momentum! I wonder where can this Yu Hai as the second person to be guided by Senior Brother Lin Yi reach?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother Lin Yi is indeed a celestial being!"

Knowing that Yu Hai had once entered the hundredth courtyard and being guided by Lin Yi personally, an uproar was suddenly stirred up in this area! Each of them were looking at Yu Hai with curiosity and excitement, wondering where could he reach exactly?

Was he like Jiang Xiaoyu, who had his strength increased by leaps and bounds?
