"Lin You! Is it really him?!"
After noticing Lin You's presence, Brother Xiao Fei and the others confirmed it again and again, and finally they could no longer conceal the surprise in their eyes.
This super genius from Jiangcheng is definitely one of the most talked-about figures nowadays!
He had just won the National Rookie of the Year award in March of this year, but now he has shown his prowess in the World Duel City Competition and has made it into the quarterfinals!
What is the concept?
Being able to reach the quarterfinals in a competition of this level actually means that Lin You now has the top-level Glory combat power!
Even among the three-star duelists in Glory, he is hard to find an opponent!
Such a leap in strength happened in just a few months. How could it not be surprising?
Therefore, Lin You now has a certain reputation even in the entire dueling world.
Not to mention among the young group, he is a god-like existence!
Countless people believe that Lin You is destined to be a legend of the future, a legend of this generation!
"Yi Zhiqing is actually involved with Lin You..."
Brother Xiao Fei took a deep breath, his eyes full of shock. The Glory Two Star he had mentioned before had been completely forgotten by him.
Duelists of that level were indeed almost unattainable for people like them.
But compared with Lin You... forget it, don't compare, they are not even on the same level!
Everyone else at the table looked at Yi Zhiqing with envy.
Especially the female anchors, after they had imagined the relationship between the two, they were so angry that they were about to crush it.
This continued attention seemed to have caught someone's attention.
It was not Lin You, but a young man.
He has medium-length hair, a cold and stern face, and looks about 24 years old.
The man cast a cold gaze over here, and his already sharp eyes made people shudder.
Everyone quickly and tactfully looked away, vaguely guessing that this person's identity was not simple either.
Otherwise, how could I have dinner with Lin You?
Of course, the powerful aura emanating from the other party also illustrates this point.
…
After briefly shocking Brother Xiao Fei and the others, Yi Wenye smiled as he looked at Lin You approaching. "Brother Lin You, are you here?"
"Brother Yi."
Lin You smiled and said hello. As he sat down, he looked at Yi Zhiqing, who was a little reserved, and said teasingly, "Zhiqing, long time no see. You look even more beautiful."
This is also true. Today, Yi Zhiqing is wearing a white V-neck long dress, which not only combines her own cuteness, but also highlights a touch of sexiness and sweetness.
"ah……"
Yi Zhiqing let out a sound like a kitten, and her fair face flushed a little. Then she lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you."
Lin You couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Yi, I heard that Zhiqing has been promoted to a big anchor now. It's a rare opportunity to meet you and have dinner with you. It's such an honor."
"No!"
Yi Zhiqing's emotions, which had just begun to subside, immediately rose again, and he retorted with a red face, "You are truly amazing, and your progress is so rapid. It feels like it won't be long before even my brother won't be your match."
"Zhiqing, what are you talking about your brother?"
Yi Wenye felt somewhat helpless, but quickly added, "Even if this is true, don't say it so bluntly. Give your brother some face in front of outsiders. At least we are still outsiders now, right?"
“…”
Yi Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, as if his brain had short-circuited.
After a moment, it seemed as if hot steam was coming out of his face. He lowered his head completely, not daring to look at Lin You.
Lin You said with a smile, "Alright, Brother Yi, stop teasing Sister Zhiqing. You must be looking for me for something important this time, right?"
"Yes, there are some things."
Yi Wenye didn't beat around the bush, but then he laughed for some reason.
Lin You also smiled, guessing the meaning behind the other person's laughter.
"Plans can't keep up with changes!"
Yi Wenye sighed, "When we first invited you to join the Bird City Association, we planned to wait for you to complete two years of school and graduate early. As for your strength, you only need to reach the level of a three-star Duelist. After that, the Bird City Association will help you break through to the Glory level as quickly as possible. However, we didn't expect that you have the qualifications to compete for the title of National Rookie of the Year."
"So after that, I gave up the idea of luring you to the Bird City Association because you had better options. So I told you about the Death Fight Secret Realm. But now it seems that you can't go to the Death Fight Secret Realm!"
Without any detailed perception, Yi Wenye naturally had no way of knowing Lin You's specific level as a duelist.
But judging from the fact that he made it to the quarterfinals of the World Duel City Tournament, his level as a duelist is self-evident.
Three stars of glory... Although it is unbelievable, if it were Lin You, Yi Wenye would at least have reason to believe it.
And with this level, there is no chance to enter the Death Fight Secret Realm.
Yi Wenye felt a little regretful. The Death Fight Secret Realm should have brought great benefits to Lin You.
Especially with his abilities, he is bound to dominate in such an environment!
Seeing the expression on his face, Lin You couldn't help but laugh to himself.
Brother Yi probably didn't know that he had already been through the secret realm of death.
It is also a more exciting death battle, and the benefits are unprecedented!
But at this moment, Lin You couldn't reveal anything about the death fight. He chuckled and said, "Thank you for your care, Brother Yi. However, I have gained a lot these days. You have seen some of the results now, so there is no need to feel sorry for me."
"That's true."
Yi Wenye agreed decisively, his eyes filled with admiration. "Honestly speaking, facing your astonishing growth rate, anyone would probably find it unbelievable and be deeply shocked. Compared to you, there are probably very few who can be called geniuses."
"Then I think Brother Yi must be one of them."
Lin You said with a smile. He knew that Yi Wenye had a good status in the Bird City Association.
They have the right to recommend newcomers to the Bird City Association, which adheres to the concept of elitism, and can also appear in the audience seats of the National Freshman Competition.
And in the little guy's perception, Yi Wenye's breath was also hidden very deeply.
This also means that he is not at the Glory level, otherwise the little guy could easily find out his background.
Instead of the Glory level, go one step further... that is, the Master level!
Once you enter this level, you can be called a strong man in the dueling world!
Yi Wenye, who has such ability, looks only about 24 years old. What kind of talent is this?
Yi Wenye seemed to have seen through some of Lin You's thoughts and said directly, "Don't get me wrong, I just don't look that old, but I'm actually quite old. A 26-year-old master is nothing."
“…”
Lin You was speechless.
So he is 26 years old?
When I heard you say you were not young anymore, I thought you were in your early thirties!
So he looks only 2 years younger than you?
Well... a 2-year age difference may not seem big, but when it comes to judging a duelist's talent, the difference is really huge.
Of course, even a 26-year-old master is an absolute genius.
A terrifying talent that surpasses that of ordinary national rookie kings!
On this basis, a 24-year-old master... I can't even imagine it.
It’s almost catching up with me!
Lin Youduo thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion.
It shouldn't be difficult to become a master before the age of 24, right?
If Yi Wenye knew this idea, he would probably be choked.
If any young person thought this way, Yi Wenye would probably treat him as a fool.
But the other party was Lin You, and Yi Wenye really couldn't refute it.
At this moment, Lin You thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, what you said is too modest. Sometimes being too modest can easily attract hatred. Brother Yi should be careful."
Yi Wenye smiled and didn't say much about this topic. He quickly said, "Lin You, the main reason I came to you this time is to ask if you have any plans to enter the secret realm in the near future?"
"Recently?"
Lin You smiled in his heart. It seemed that Brother Yi had summed up his experience this time. It was basically a waste of effort to make some long-term expectations for himself in advance. It would be better to cut the Gordian knot.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Maybe, but not necessarily too soon. There are some things I still need time to digest. But I definitely plan to enter the secret realm. After all, there's money to be made there quickly."
Just as he finished speaking, Lin You asked curiously, "As for secret realms, my current knowledge is actually relatively limited. After all, there are too many secret realms, and they have different numbers and danger levels. It's really hard to judge which secret realm can maximize the benefits without exceeding my ability. But now it seems that Brother Yi can give me some good advice today."
Yi Wenye smiled and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot of benefits from this competition, but believe me, if you are lucky enough in the secret realm you are going to this time, you will definitely make a lot of money. For you, it will be an unprecedented huge sum of money."
When saying this, Yi Wenye seemed very confident, but Lin You just smiled.
An unprecedented sum of money?
No matter how huge the sum is, it is unrealistic to expect it to exceed the profits earned from the association by winning this death match.
However, Lin You was still quite interested and asked, "Brother Yi, can you tell me in detail?"
Yi Wenye didn't keep the secret and quickly said, "The secret realm we're heading to this time is quite dangerous. It's the 'Divine Beast Island' numbered 1 among the generally dangerous secret realms."
"Number 1?"
Lin You was slightly surprised. In other words, this was the most dangerous secret realm among the ordinary dangerous secret realms, and the one closest to the high-risk level!
This level of secret realm was something that Lin You would never have considered before the competition.
You know, even in a light-danger secret realm, there is a small chance of dying in it.
If it were a common danger-level secret realm, it would not be uncommon for ordinary glory-level duelists to die there.
But the current Lin You is obviously not the so-called ordinary glory level.
If he enters most of the common dangerous secret realms, he can sweep through them!
Even if it is impossible to sweep across, it is almost impossible to face any life threat.
But this time, what Yi Wenye mentioned was the secret realm that was closest to the high-risk level, the Divine Beast Island No. 1. This cannot be generalized.
Soon, Yi Wenye continued, "The Divine Beast Island is home to some remote and ancient monsters. Those monsters have extremely strong vitality and combat capabilities. And unlike ordinary secret realms, the Divine Beast Island is ruled by four dominant beasts, each of which has reached the Venus level."
"Four Venus Tiers?"
Lin You was greatly surprised. Based on his understanding of the common dangerous secret realms, the rulers of most secret realms were actually still dark red stars.
It's just a matter of combat power. Even if they are on the same dark red star, there are still differences.
There are also some deviations in the number of dark red star combat forces.
But Venus is completely superior to the dark red star and is on another level of existence!
According to Lin You's understanding, the Venus monster can be said to be absolutely crushing the dark red star monster!
The existence of the Wuji body makes it extremely difficult to kill a Venus monster through combat.
Not to mention the Venus monster in the secret realm.
From the Amazon Queen at that time, we can actually understand that although they are both dark red star monsters, the Amazon Queen’s combat power is far superior to that of ordinary dark red star monsters.
Of course, if it were to face the current Super Magic Dragon Knight, the ending would definitely not be a good one.
At this moment, Yi Wenye nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is four Venus monsters. Not only that, but according to some internal intelligence I have, the current situation on the Divine Beast Island is quite special."
special?
Lin You asked curiously, "What's the special method?"
"The aura of some mysterious treasure seems to have emerged on Divine Beast Island. The most direct evidence is that the four dominant divine beasts, who rarely reveal their whereabouts on a normal day, have vaguely made some movements. Many years ago, there was a similar scene. At that time, Divine Beast Island only had two dominant divine beasts. The two beasts were both injured in the battle and were exploited by two powerful Dark Red Star Secret Realm monsters. The two monsters that have appeared on Divine Beast Island now are exactly those two monsters!"
Yi Wenye revealed the shocking news in one breath.
Lin You couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "So, their advancement is based on that mysterious treasure. That treasure might be something unique to Divine Beast Island, a naturally bred existence. Its birth might be extremely rare, so they've only just started to make a move now."
Yi Wenye's eyes flashed with approval. "That's right. Therefore, in the coming period, Divine Beast Island will definitely be quite lively. And this liveliness is not just about Divine Beast Island itself. Many qualified duelists will not miss this opportunity."
Lin You suddenly laughed and said, "So, what Brother Yi hopes for is to stand out from this competition and obtain that mysterious treasure?"
“Everyone who has the means thinks so.”
Regarding this, Yi Wenye made no secret of it and said, "Given the situation on Divine Beast Island, the most it can accommodate is one-star Grandmaster Duelists. In fact, according to past experience, two-star or even three-star Grandmaster Duelists could also enter. They would simply encounter some restrictions due to the secret realm rules and some spatial displacement. However, there have been some changes in the secret realm recently, and the association has clearly set an entry limit for each secret realm. If too many duelists reach this limit, there will be problems."
Is it related to the previous appearance of Nicolophia?
Lin You thought of this immediately, but didn’t think about it too deeply. At the moment, the matter of the Divine Beast Island was the focus.
"From what Brother Yi said, because of the mysterious treasure, quite a few Duelists have recently wanted to enter the Divine Beast Island, including some at the Master level. How many groups will the Duelists at this stage have to enter in?"
Yi Wenye nodded. "That's true, but fortunately, the Divine Beast Island's capacity far exceeds that of other common dangerous secret realms. There are no restrictions below the Master level. Masters are one star, and a maximum of twelve people can enter at a time. I also got the ideal position for entry."
Lin You couldn't help but laugh and said, "For Brother Yi, if we talk about ideal, it should be to be a master duelist who can enter in the first batch, right?"
“I did get the position I wished for.”
Yi Wenye didn't deny it, but continued, "But getting the position doesn't mean you can easily get what you want. The competition this time is probably more intense than expected, because the aura of that mysterious treasure is far stronger than it was back then. It's clearly still in the gestation period, but it has already been noticed."
Lin You teased, "Brother Yi, if you told me about such a good thing, aren't you afraid that I will take it away?"
Yi Wenye was slightly startled, but he couldn't help but laugh, "Such a treasure is naturally available to anyone who is destined to obtain it. If you, Lin You, get it, wouldn't it be a blessing for China?"
The implication is obvious. No matter how powerful you, Lin You, are now, you are still at the Glory level, and there is still a long way to go before you can complete the fusion of spirit and demon.
Perhaps he is now superior to ordinary master-level duelists in terms of combat power, but how could these master one-star duelists who are the first to enter the mysterious island be ordinary people?
Not to mention those who covet the mysterious treasure, there are also the four powerful and dominant beasts on the Divine Beast Island!
In this situation, a Glory-level duelist trying to win the final treasure is a mythical story.
Yi Wenye didn't think that Lin You could get it. Even if it was him, the hope of obtaining the mysterious treasure was slim.
This also applies to other master duelists. After all, they are all one-star masters. The most competitive ones are still the four dominant beasts!
As if worried that Lin You would think there was no hope, Yi Wenye added, "However, when those top-level treasures are conceived, some excellent treasures will often be conceived along with them. Moreover, the Divine Beast Island itself is teeming with treasures. Therefore, even though it is full of dangers, it is still a place that many qualified duelists who are ambitious and eager to become stronger are most eager to set foot on."
"For many people, visiting the Divine Beast Island is a price to pay. Given the uniqueness of that place, naturally not everyone has the opportunity to go there."
Having said that, he glanced at Lin You and chuckled, "But you are different. With a Level 3 Secret Realm Pass in hand, you can enter even the Divine Beast Island unconditionally."
Hearing Yi Wenye mention this, Lin You couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the first time this thing came in handy was in a secret realm of this level."
The third-level secret realm pass allows you to freely enter the light-danger and general-danger secret realms.
Therefore, the Divine Beast Island is equivalent to the secret realm of the ceiling that this pass can be used for.
After sighing for a while, Lin You asked, "When does Brother Yi plan to leave?"
"We'll set off before the mysterious treasure is fully conceived."
Yi Wenye estimated for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be next month."
"That would be a good time."
This time is good for Lin You. One month is enough for him to make adequate preparations before departure.
Yi Wenye smiled easily, "It seems that I won't miss this invitation again."
Then, looking at the table full of dishes, he said, "Let's not talk too much for now. Come, try the dishes here. They are very good."
On the side, Yi Zhiqing finally had a chance to interrupt, and said a little stiffly: "Well, brother didn't lie to you, it's really good."
A book friend I've known for ten years recommended Yeguo Reading to me. It's so useful! I use it to pass the time, even while driving or before bed. You can download it at www.yeguoyuedu.com.
"Then I'm in for a treat."
Lin You smiled, and soon, the three of them started moving one after another.
We had a great conversation at the dinner table.
After dinner, Lin You went straight home.
…
The next evening.
Du Xiaofei saw Lin You and the other two off, and the plane cut through the sky in the night.
Lin You finally returned to Jiangcheng.
