The Sovereign’s Ascension

w Lin Yun slowly approaching, he finally replied with a trembling voice, “You don’t have to give me any explanations.
Junior Brother Lin, you must’ve misunderstood my words…”

However, Lin Yun was still walking over.
He raised his voice and asked, “Didn’t you say that you needed an explanation from me?”

The surroundings were silent as no one dared to utter a word.
Zhang Lei arrived with the intention of trampling Lin Yun for failing the missions.
However, he was the one who ended up on the ground trembling in fear.

Only three months had passed, but now Zhang Lei was nothing in Lin Yun’s eyes.
Lin Yun was so domineering and those who mocked him previously started to tremble uneasily.
They were afraid that Lin Yun would turn his attention to them.

Zhang Lei wore a bitter expression as he watched Lin Yun approach.
The pressure he was currently feeling wasn’t something that anyone could imagine.
Every single footstep from Lin Yun sounded like a demonic bell ringing in his heart

“Speak! What explanation do you want from me?” Lin Yun’s bark sounded off like a bolt of rumbling lightning and everyone trembled at it.

Zhang Lei was initially the one who was doing the interrogating, but the tables had turned.
Those three questions from Lin Yun left Zhang Lei speechless and trembling in fear.
But all of a sudden, something unexpected took place.
Zhang Lei’s knees fell down heavily as he kneeled on the ground.
This struck a great blow in everyone’s heart.

Zhang Lei was in the top ten of the Mortal Ranking, but he was now on his knees from Lin Yun’s three questions.
This scene caught everyone by surprise.
Many people widened their mouths in shock.
The top ten on the Mortal Ranking were kings in the outer sect and they had nothing to fear.
They were domineering and their words represented the law.

If anyone provoked them, not only would they have to beg for mercy on their knees, but they also had to admit their mistake.
However, Zhang Lei kneeling on the ground shattered that image.
Instead, this humiliation was done by a youth named Lin Yun.
A youth who was soaring in the outer sect like a dragon.

“Junior Brother Lin, I apologize for what I said previously,” said Zhang Lei on his knees.

“Do I have the qualification to walk here?” Lin Yun questioned him calmly without any ripples on his face.

“You can,” responded Zhang Lei.

“Can I accept the five star missions?” asked Lin Yun.

“You can,” Zhang Lei said while gnashing his teeth.

Lin Yun continued, “Can I break the rules?” 

“You can,” responded Zhang Lei once again.

Zhang Lei didn’t have any anger as he kneeled before Lin Yun.
He only asked Lin Yun not to torture him anymore.
He didn’t want to go through the torturous questioning again.

With the sword box on his back, Lin Yun looked at Zhang Lei and asked, “Then why are you kneeling down?”

“I don’t dare to stand up without your permission.” Zhang Lei’s words shattered many people’s hearts, especially those from the same alliance-union as Zhang Lei.

“Well then, carry on.
Remain kneeling for however long you’ve made others kneel.” Lin Yun turned around and headed towards the Contribution Hall.
Lin Yun’s figure was imposing in everyone’s eyes.
Then, the onlookers sighed at the sight of Zhang Lei on his knees.

Complicated emotions filled the onlookers as they observed Lin Yun’s silhouette.
It was at this moment that they finally realized that another monstrous genius was born in the Sword Firmament Pavilion.
