Among the outstanding disciples of the Essence Sword Sect, Yu Hai was considered the weakest, but even so, he was a genius in the Upper Three Countries, definitely not a weakling.
Yet he was defeated by Fang Lin, a result that many in the Essence Sword Sect found hard to accept.
After all, in their eyes, Fang Lin was just a youth with only the First Layer of the Spirit Vein, and without any known background. How could he possibly have defeated Yu Hai, who hailed from the Essence Sword Sect?
But the reality was cruel. Yu Hai had lost, and even after using the treasures given by his sect elders, he had been unable to turn the tide of the battle, nearly losing his life in the process.
Of course, Fang Lin was completely unaware of his opponent's background. Defeating a genius from the Upper Three Countries filled Fang Lin with quite a bit of joy.
