On the way to the center of Broken Sky City, Lin Gutian began teaching a few of the rules of the Martial Arts Exchange to the other disciples.
After all, as one of the Five Prides of the city, he knew the rules very well.
Lin Han had learned a lot from him.
Broken Sky City was overseen by three powerful forces, which were Lin Clan Sect Residence, Shen Clan Sect Residence, and Governor's Residence, also known as the Luo Family.
When Lin Gutian introduced the Luo family, Lin Han instantly recalled Luo Qingcheng, the beautiful lady he had met at Broken Sky Forest the other day.
"Brother Gutian, who are the other four prides of Broken Sky City?" Lin Ruyan suddenly asked.
Lin Han was also eager to find out.
On the other hand, Lin Cai and Lin Jiao looked at them strangely, but when they recalled that Lin Ruyan and Lin Han used to be Outer Residence disciples, their expressions eased slightly.
Lin Gutian smiled. "Younger Sister Ruyan, the Five Prides of Broken Sky City consist of myself, Shen Wuxia from the Shen Clan Sect Residence, Luo Tianyang and Luo Qingcheng from the Governor's Residence, the Luo family, as well as…"
He had a fearful look on her face as he continued, "As well as Su He, the best among Broken Sky City's Five Great Heavenly Prides, and even I consider myself inferior to him."
'Su He?'
Lin Han repeated the name in his head.
A person whom Lin Gutian was afraid of, someone that was respected by the other four Heavenly Prides this Su He had to be someone extraordinary!
Lin Han's interest in this mysterious person grew rapidly.
"Su He's very mysterious. He came from a small family, and was the son of a servant, yet he was able to rise up."
"I heard that he has a terrifying talent, and he can comprehend any martial art at one glance."
Lin Yu, Lin Cai, and a few others began discussing among themselves.
"This time, I'll defeat him!" Lin Gutian had strong killing intent, and a threatening aura.
Upon this, however, Lin Han kept quiet.
He was more fixated on the Greatest Heavenly Pride who rose from a small family.
This was because he had a very similar experience.
He also rose from the bottom, and showcased his ability for the world to see.
Needless to say, he rose later than Su He did, because he had already become a reputable person in Broken Sky City.
At that moment, Lin Han was looking forward to the Martial Arts Exchange.
"Oh right, how did Luo Qingcheng become one of the Five Prides? I heard that she's the Governor's Residence eldest miss, but her cultivation base isn't very high?." Lin Han suddenly asked.
He remembered very clearly that she was only in fifth-tier martial art.
"That's because she's the most beautiful lady in Broken Sky City, and that she's the eldest miss of the Governor's Residence, which is the strongest power base among the four sects!" Lin Yu replied enviously.
"Huh, that counts too?" Lin Han was speechless.
…
The Inner Residence Genius Disciples traveled quickly.
Soon, they arrived at a mountain villa in Broken Sky City.
Broken Sky Mountain Villa was the most honorable place in the city.
A number of people had already arrived.
There were people from the three great sects, as well as people from smaller families.
Lin Gutian led them to a pavilion within the mountain villa.
In the pavilion.
Lin Han sensed strong auras when he took a glance around.
The young disciples who were present were at least in fifth-tier martial arts.
However, he was disappointed because he did not sense any Spirit Masters.
This meant that there was no Spirit Master among the younger generation in Broken Sky City.
Lin Han arrived at that conclusion because the young disciples in the pavilion were the top representatives of the city and the areas around it.
The pavilion was a spacious one with a gargantuan combat arena in the middle.
Being the three great sects, those from Lin Clan Sect Residence, Shen Clan Sect Residence, and Governor's Residence were seated in the middle.
Around them were a number of scattered cultivators and disciples from small families who were there to observe.
Lin Han noticed Lin Tian, Lin Yan, and a few others in the crowd.
It seemed like they had arrived long ago to watch the event.
Subsequently, Lin Gutian brought Lin Ruyan and the others to their seats.
When he saw Lin Ruyan sitting beside Lin Han, he frowned and glared at Lin Han as though he was giving him a warning.
Nevertheless, Lin Han decided to ignore him.
Since he was already at the Intermediate state of sixth tier martial art, and he possessed powerful techniques, he was not afraid of Lin Gutian who had the cultivation base of Half-Grandmaster Boundary.
"Look, that's Shen Wuxia, Shen Clan Sect Residence's greatest genius, and one of Broken Sky City's Five Prides. Everyone calls him Young Master Wuxia, he's also a half-step away from Grandmaster!"
Someone who was evidently in awe of Shen Wuxia mentioned.
Lin Han noticed a few young disciples when he looked at the seats reserved for the Shen Clan Sect Residence.
The person who actually attracted his attention was a young man in white robes. He had a calm expression on his face, and was fanning a folding fan like a gentleman.
"Look, Luo Qingcheng, the most beautiful lady in Broken Sky City, is here," Someone else exclaimed.
When Lin Han turned to look, he saw Luo Qingcheng enter the pavilion gracefully.
Although she was titled the most beautiful lady in the city, Lin Han felt that Lin Ruyan was not at all inferior to her.
One was stunning, whereas the other one was natural and elegant. They were beautiful in their own ways.
"Lin Han, who's more pretty, me or Luo Qingcheng?" Lin Ruyan suddenly asked.
Lin Han twitched his mouth when he heard her.
'I guessed it right, I knew she was going to ask me that.'
"Of course… Both of you are equally pretty." Lin Han laughed out loud, then took a sip of his tea.
"If you had to choose, who would you choose?" Lin Ruyan asked again.
"Pfft"
Tea jetted out of Lin Han's mouth.
…
The atmosphere became livelier as more people filled the place.
Many of them were guessing if there would be a change within the rankings of the Five Great Heavenly Prides, or if their places would be taken over by someone else.
On the other hand, Lin Han found out about a few people through the discussions around him.
For instance, Luo Tianyang, the greatest genius from Governor's Residence, was a black-clothed man with a cold look.
Lin Han noticed a faint smile on Luo Qingcheng's face. She had been glancing over repeatedly, intentionally or unintentionally, and he knew that she noticed him.
Nonetheless, it seemed like nobody from the Governor's Residence knew that he was the one who killed Luo Feiyu and Luo Feiyun, two geniuses from their family.
Had they known, they would have sent powerhouses to hold him captive.
'A Spirit Master's strange trick is indeed a good killing weapon.' Lin Han thought to himself.
He had previously used his spirit to kill Luo Feiyun, and he believed that the Governor's Residence would never be able to find the murderer.
Right then.
Tap, tap!
Light footsteps were heard coming from outside the pavilion.
The footsteps were not loud, but were strangely clear to everyone inside.
Lin Han immediately noticed that the person who arrived was not a regular person.
"Su He!"
Before long, someone from the crowd uttered the man's name.
Shortly after, a person entered the pavilion slowly.
It was a young man who wore a shirt made of sackcloth. He had an extremely common face, and a very normal aura. Nothing about him stood out.
He seemed so ordinary because there was nothing special about him, but it was the exact reason that made everyone feel that he was unordinary.
Su He!
The Greatest Heavenly Pride within the Five Great Heavenly Prides, and a legendary figure among the younger generation in Broken Sky City.
He finally arrived.
