Chapter 740: Inner Court’s Subtle Uses, Battle with the Great Saint

Lin Yi’s comprehension greatly satisfied the Great Saint, prompting an irresistible urge to spar with Lin Yi.

Before meeting him, the Great Saint had no knowledge of Lin Yi’s struggles.

However, after getting to know Lin Yi, the Great Saint witnessed his challenges.

Many times, this young man moved forward under heavy pressure. Each time he faced danger, he would resolve the crisis with unwavering willpower.

A guy with talent, character, and heavenly favor was an impeccable opponent for the Great Saint.

”Kid, do you know the other wonders of the inner court?”

Suddenly, the Great Saint said this.

The inner court has other functions? Lin Yi really didn’t know this.

As a native of Xiang Wuxing, Zhang Yun should be most familiar with her planet’s unique abilities.

If Lin Yi knew in a situation where even she didn’t, it would indeed be odd.

”The inner court not only allows repeated practice of skills according to the skill book until mastery but also facilitates sparring.”

Sparring, sparring with whom? Could one imagine an enemy to fight against?

Would such a battle be meaningless?

In an imagined fight, the enemy’s tactics and his response, or vice versa, all lie at his discretion. What meaning does such a battle hold?

”Ha, you kid, sparring with yourself is something that someone with strong willpower can achieve. But rest assured, given your current state, you cannot achieve this, nor can I.”

”But kid, we can spar with each other.”

Spar with the Great Saint?

This idea indeed sounded novel.

”You’re well aware, just like you had that girl attack Moloch on Parallel Blue Star. The only way to gain strength is through actual combat; otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone through such trouble.”

”You are no exception.”

”The benefit of sparring in the inner court is that we can fight freely without worrying about injuring each other. This way, you can learn more combat skills from battling me.”

Speaking of combat skills, Lin Yi didn’t feel lacking.

But soon, he would realize that his casual demeanor in battle was merely due to his numerical advantage.

”Alright, since the Great Saint is in the mood, I naturally couldn’t be happier.”

With that, Lin Yi shifted his awareness to his inner court.

The scene before his eyes swiftly transformed.

In the endless darkness, only a flawless white platform was illuminated by light from an unknown source.

Lin Yi found himself on that white platform.

Just as he was about to call out the Great Saint, a pale golden cloud drew a graceful arc in the darkness.

Buzz~

With a low metallic hum, as the cloud passed by, a dark golden rod spun towards Lin Yi’s head.

Seeing the rod grow larger in his vision, Lin Yi didn’t flinch or avoid it, allowing it to plant itself less than a centimeter in front of him.

Boom!

The next moment, a figure covered in hair landed heavily in front of the rod.

Wearing a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, clad in Golden Chain Armor, and standing in Lotus Silk Cloud-Stepping Shoes, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven appeared before Lin Yi.

The instant the Great Saint appeared, Lin Yi felt nothing, but when the Great Saint smiled, Lin Yi suddenly felt like a towering giant ape was behind him, raising a mountain-like fist ready to strike.

The moment the oppressive aura hit, Lin Yi felt his body temperature instantly drop, a chill raced to the top of his head, almost freezing him in place.

”Kid, I’ll let you make the first move.”

The Great Saint smiled, reaching for his Golden Cudgel, then slowly tightened his grip.

No way,

Great Saint, are you treating me as a pastime?

Offering me the first move yet releasing such a powerful aura to suppress me.

Watching Sun Wukong pull the Golden Cudgel from the ground, releasing an overwhelming aura, for the first time Lin Yi felt a sense of life or death even before engaging an enemy.

Damn, what should I do!

Whether it’s Source Power, Power of the Primordial, or Divine Power, at this moment, they were all frozen.

Not a single ounce could be summoned!

”Alright, if you won’t make a move, then I, Old Sun, won’t hold back!”

As the Great Saint spoke, he swung the Golden Cudgel.

Could this duel end before it even begins? That would be too embarrassing.

There must be a way, surely there’s a way!

In his fear, Lin Yi had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan.

The Xia have an old saying: ”A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.”

When Lin Yi first arrived on Xiang Wuxing, many weak individuals there did not take Lin Yi seriously because they couldn’t perceive his true strength.

To break free from Sun Wukong’s suppression, Lin Yi had to sever his connection to Source Power.

This way, no matter how strong the Great Saint is, in Lin Yi’s eyes, he’s just an ordinary opponent.

Close, then open his eyes, the mighty rod was already before him.

The skill [Flash] was instantly activated!

In just a moment, Lin Yi appeared behind the Great Saint.

With a twist of his wrist, the Heavenly Following Cloud Sword was already in his hand.

Lin Yi’s moves, the Great Saint was quite familiar with. The moment Lin Yi disappeared, the Great Saint had already guessed his next step.

With an extremely sensitive sense of aura, the Great Saint, using his rich combat experience, predicted Lin Yi’s location the instant he completed the swap.

More precisely, the Great Saint deliberately left a flaw for Lin Yi to exploit.

In fact, Lin Yi indeed did this, resulting in just when he planned to swing the lightning-wreathed sword, the extended Golden Cudgel poked at his forehead.

This is the strength of the Great Saint!

In the past, Lin Yi relied on his space skills to take the initiative, never having been suppressed by someone else’s speed.

Especially the fact that a switch just happened and he hadn’t even decided on his attack, and the enemy’s attack was already at his forehead, it was astounding.

Lin Yi didn’t even have time to dodge; the Golden Cudgel was already at his nose.

Thankfully, this time the Great Saint did not use the Power of the Primordial as his attack means. Lin Yi, utilizing the [Flash] passive, evaded the Great Saint’s attack with an incredibly unpredictable body technique.

No time to catch his breath, the extended Golden Cudgel once again swept towards Lin Yi.

The continuous, almost exaggerated offense caught Lin Yi off guard.

In an invincible state, Lin Yi chose to take the hit on his face directly. Taking advantage of this invincibility, he instantaneously activated his law skill [Ice Manipulation]

The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted.

A massive ice hand emerged unexpectedly from beneath the Great Saint’s feet, intending to bind him within its grasp with lightning speed.

However, the Great Saint simply leaped, and his figure vanished completely.
