Chapter 277: Chapter 273: Passing the Test, Grandfather and Grandson Meet
"Once we’re past this Wind Cliff, we’ll reach the summit!"
At this moment, Lin Yi and the Little Daoist were standing right there at Wind Cliff.
This Wind Cliff was unremarkable, with nothing strange about it.
However, it gave Lin Yi an indescribable sense of pressure.
The cliff was nearly a hundred meters high, and its face wasn’t so smooth that it lacked footholds.
In fact, with his level of cultivation, climbing Wind Cliff shouldn’t have been a difficult task.
But there was still that inexplicable sense of pressure.
It made Lin Yi feel that this Wind Cliff was extremely dangerous.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, should we go up now?"
the Little Daoist asked.
Lin Yi nodded. "Alright!"
With that, he leaped, easily landing on a protruding rock.
But just as both his feet had settled...
A fierce gale howled over. Caught completely off guard, Lin Yi was almost blown right off.
’Why is this wind blowing so erratically?
Wind Cliff... is this what it means? I couldn’t feel any wind at the bottom...’
Lin Yi finally understood the meaning of Wind Cliff.
He steadied his mind, forcing himself to calm down first.
Since the obstacle of Wind Cliff was this powerful wind, brute force wouldn’t work. Who knew how strong the wind was further up the cliff?
If a strong gust just happened to blow while he was leaping through the air, his body would likely be blown away mid-flight.
’Ride the wind, ascend with the wind...’
Lin Yi recited this phrase silently in his heart. Suddenly, at that very moment, a gust of wind blew from his left.
He quickly glanced to his right and found another protruding rock.
Riding the gust, Lin Yi leaped again.
He landed effortlessly on the next rock, barely expending any energy.
Soon, Lin Yi had discovered the pattern of Wind Cliff.
The wind on the cliff didn’t just blow in one direction.
Instead, it came in intermittent, unpredictable gusts.
To climb all the way up from here, one had to ride the wind. Not only would it save energy, but it would also reduce the danger.
After discovering this pattern, Lin Yi rested on the protruding rocks when there was no wind.
When the wind rose, he would ascend with it.
Before long, he had already climbed halfway without encountering any danger.
At this moment, the Elder Celestial Master, the old man, and the others were sitting in front of a monitor.
Watching Lin Yi, who was already conquering Wind Cliff, they all wore different expressions.
The Elder Celestial Master frowned slightly and said, "I can’t believe this kid figured out the pattern of Wind Cliff so quickly!"
Yi Nanshan shot him a glance. "Elder Mu Ru, if you ask me, these trials you set up might be useful for others, but for my, Yi Nanshan’s, grandson, they’re just superfluous!"
"I thought your Wind Cliff was supposed to be so formidable, but it’s nothing special!"
"Forget him—any student from my New Star Martial Arts Hall in the Old District could easily pass this Wind Cliff of yours!"
The old man boasted.
As soon as he finished, the Elder Celestial Master shot him an indignant look.
"Lao Yi, don’t you brag to me. I wouldn’t think much of it if Lin Yi passed these few trials easily.
He’s a future Martial God, after all. How could he be stumped by a few trials?"
"But if it were the students from your Martial Arts Hall... heh, bring as many as you want. If even one of them makes it past, I’ll admit defeat!"
Yi Nanshan: "..."
He had just been bragging on Lin Yi’s coattails.
In reality, he understood perfectly well.
If the students from his Martial Arts Hall were to truly face the Elder Celestial Master’s trials, he was afraid not a single one would pass. It wasn’t even just the current students.
Even Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi would have a hard time getting through the Elder Celestial Master’s tests.
Perhaps Zhongshan and Qing River could pass.
But when it came to the Demon Forest, it was hard to say.
And Wind Cliff was the final obstacle. Very, very few could truly pass it.
As a future Martial God, Lin Yi’s temperament, mentality, composure, and perception were all more than one or two realms higher than that of an ordinary Martial Artist.
The fact that he could find a solution in such a short time was also closely related to his experiences and accumulated wisdom.
This was also the main reason why Yi Nanshan and Old He insisted on letting Lin Yi grow into a Martial God in his own way.
These experiences were all extremely precious.
Only after accumulating enough experience could one grow into a true Martial God.
"Grandpa, are you going to reveal your identity to Lin Yi in a bit?"
Tang Qinru’s words made Yi Nanshan’s expression change.
He turned to look at Tang Qinru.
She smiled. "Once Lin Yi gets past Wind Cliff, he’ll be at the summit. Are you prepared to reunite with him?"
At these words, even the Elder Celestial Master glanced at him with great interest.
Yi Nanshan fell into deep thought.
In truth, his heart yearned to reunite with Lin Yi.
He had felt this urge ever since he was in the Old District.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have met Lin Yi under the guise of a passerby before the martial arts exam.
He even taught him a set of the Tai Chi Boxing Technique.
However, as a Defender of the New District and the Patriarch of the Yi Family, the question of whether to reunite with his grandson threw him into a panic.
He longed for the reunion, yet he feared it.
He was afraid of what would happen when he truly told Lin Yi that he was his maternal grandfather.
What kind of reaction would he have...?
What if Lin Yi refused to acknowledge him? What then?
Tang Qinru saw the thoughts in her grandfather’s heart and said seriously, "Grandpa, I think you should reunite with him!"
"Back in the Old District, you said you were afraid of affecting his martial arts exam, so you didn’t reveal yourself. I can understand that!"
