Su Mo Finally Selected! Lin Yutong's Status!

Inside the Guande Martial Arts School's assembly hall.

"Senior Brother, Second Sister, please add Su Mo to the list of representatives for our Guande Martial Arts School in the Tri-Martial Arts Tournament. His strength is quite good among those in the same realm."

"Besides, aren't Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue in seclusion to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm after their cultivation advanced greatly? They definitely can't participate in this tournament. Letting Su Mo compete would be a safeguard."

Inside the assembly hall, the high-ranking members of Guande Martial Arts School gathered to discuss the upcoming Tri-Martial Arts Tournament with Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School.

Luo Lianbo spoke first, once again recommending Su Mo for the martial arts exchange, believing Su Mo's strength would allow him to stand out.

Su Mo's strength was far more formidable than imagined.

Furthermore, Luo Lianbo's reasons were twofold: firstly, he was optimistic about Su Mo; secondly, according to the latest news, the martial arts school's geniuses Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue would likely be unable to participate in the tournament as they were both attempting to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

Once they emerged from seclusion, they would be Martial Artists of the Meridian Opening Realm.

The Tri-Martial Arts Tournament only allowed Martial Artists of the Body Tempering Realm to participate, thus Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue naturally could not join this martial arts exchange.

Among the martial arts school's five great geniuses, besides Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue, the remaining were Qin Shuqin, Zheng Mengyang, and Jin Guangqing.

Although they still had the support of three great martial arts school geniuses, Changchun Martial Arts School and Qiufeng Martial Arts School were formidable, with both having top-tier Body Tempering Realm genius Martial Artists participating. Changchun Martial Arts School had Cao Xuanchu, and Qiufeng Martial Arts School had Mo Chengjun.

The reputations of these two individuals surpassed Zheng Mengyang, Qin Shuqin, and Jin Guangqing.

The other elite disciples from these two martial arts schools were also very strong. Even if their raw strength was not as good as Zheng Mengyang, Qin Shuqin, and Jin Guangqing, it was not far off.

The reason Luo Lianbo was so certain Su Mo was qualified to participate in the Tri-Martial Arts Tournament was because he had personally witnessed Su Mo's possession of Great Strength.

Therefore, he naturally knew Su Mo's strength was far from simple.

With this proposal, Luo Lianbo hoped Senior Brother Liu Feiliang and Second Sister Ao Lingyu would agree.

"No, even if Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue cannot participate in the Tri-Martial Arts Tournament, other disciples can be selected. Su Mo is too old, his bone structure has serious issues, and his cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Even if he has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm now, not to mention facing established Body Tempering Realm geniuses like Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun."

"I fear Su Mo would have no chance of winning even against the elite disciples of the two martial arts schools and would only suffer a crushing defeat. Therefore, Su Mo is not qualified to receive a spot in this martial arts exchange."

Second Sister Ao Lingyu's red lips parted slightly as she replied calmly, once again rejecting Luo Lianbo's proposal.

Ao Lingyu was not intentionally targeting Luo Lianbo; rather, she had thoroughly investigated Su Mo's situation and knew his cultivation level clearly.

Because of this, Ao Lingyu was even less inclined to choose Su Mo.

She and Senior Brother Liu Feiliang had previously judged that it would take Su Mo at least five years, or even longer, to break through from the middle stage to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Yet, in just over a month, Su Mo had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Such a cultivation speed, to be honest, while not comparable to the martial arts school's geniuses, was still decent compared to ordinary disciples.

This made Ao Lingyu suspect that Su Mo was excessively draining his limited potential, which might maintain his cultivation speed but would make it even harder for him to break through to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm in the future.

As a genius herself, Ao Lingyu naturally did not have high hopes for a junior brother like Su Mo.

However, what Ao Lingyu didn't know was that Su Mo was not draining his potential, nor did he have much potential to drain. He purely relied on his life-risking cultivation, coupled with the essence of the Ancient Profound Pearl's purified Body Strengthening Soup, to achieve a cultivation speed that was not slow and could rival ordinary elite disciples.

"Second Sister, Su Mo's strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface."

Luo Lianbo quickly explained upon hearing his proposal being rejected again.

But Ao Lingyu still shook her head in refusal. Senior Brother Liu Feiliang, standing beside her, added, "Junior Brother Luo, you must trust your Second Sister's judgment. If Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue cannot compete, we must be cautious in this Tri-Martial Arts Tournament. We cannot be careless, or Master will be displeased if we lose."

Senior Brother Liu Feiliang's words were not without reason. The Tri-Martial Arts Tournament was a grand event, its popularity having spread throughout the surrounding villages. Many people were watching Guande Martial Arts School, and even Anyuan County Town was paying attention.

Therefore, Master Yu Guande had declared that Guande Martial Arts School must win first place; taking second or third place would be considered a loss and a disgrace.

This put immense pressure on Liu Feiliang. He was extremely rigorous in selecting the disciples who would compete, meticulously vetting them with Ao Lingyu through sleepless nights.

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Luo Lianbo could only sigh in response.

He felt he was about to let down Junior Brother Su Mo's trust again.

But at that moment.

Beside them.

Junior Sister Lin Yutong, who had been quiet and rarely spoke, softly opened her mouth. Her voice was clear and melodious, saying:

"Senior Brother, Second Sister, Junior Brother Luo's suggestion to let Su Mo compete is something you could try. Based on my observation, Su Mo's strength is indeed not as simple as it appears on the surface. He might have significant issues with his bone structure, but his strength within the Body Tempering Realm should be considerable."

As Junior Sister Lin Yutong spoke.

Liu Feiliang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, that's fine. Since Junior Sister Lin has observed Su Mo's strength, let him participate in this Tri-Martial Arts Tournament."

Ao Lingyu decisively stated, "Let's do as Junior Sister Lin suggested."

To Luo Lianbo's surprise, Senior Brother Liu Feiliang and Second Sister Ao Lingyu immediately changed their tune after hearing Junior Sister Lin Yutong's words, directly adding Su Mo to the list of participants.

The shift was so significant that it didn't seem abrupt at all.

It was as if everything Second Sister Ao Lingyu had said before became irrelevant after Junior Sister Lin Yutong spoke.

Although Luo Lianbo knew Junior Sister Lin Yutong held an unusual position within the martial arts school, he hadn't expected it to be this unusual. Her single sentence had directly changed the attitudes of the Senior Brother and Second Sister.

"We also feel Junior Sister Lin's words are very reasonable. Let's include Su Mo in the list of participants."

Not only that, but other senior and junior brothers in the martial arts school who were in the Meridian Opening Realm also spoke in agreement, fully supporting Su Mo's participation in the Tri-Martial Arts Tournament.

Luo Lianbo was stunned. When he had proposed this earlier, these senior and junior brothers had remained silent and watched from the sidelines.

At this moment, he was filled with admiration for Junior Sister Lin Yutong's influence within the martial arts school.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Lin," Luo Lianbo said gratefully.

Lin Yutong's beautiful eyes were calm as she nodded gently. The reason she spoke up wasn't to help Luo Lianbo, but because Su Mo's strength indeed qualified him to participate in this martial arts exchange. When she was teaching the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art to the junior disciples on the training grounds, she had noticed Su Mo more than once.

Although Su Mo always stood far away during his cultivation, just standing there gave him an extraordinary aura, completely unlike a Martial Artist in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Furthermore, his proficiency with the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art surprised even Lin Yutong.

Clearly, Su Mo had high talent and comprehension; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to master the Azure Origin Body Tempering Art so quickly in such a short time.

Therefore, this time, Lin Yutong spoke up and mentioned him.

Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue were in seclusion, breaking through to the Meridian Opening Realm, so they couldn't participate in this tripartite martial arts competition. For Zheng Mengyang, Qin Shuqin, and Jin Guangqing to win first place, the difficulty was honestly very high. Cao Xuanchu and Mo Chengjun were not ordinary geniuses to deal with. Letting Su Mo participate would add an element of unpredictability for their Guande Martial Arts School.

If Zhong Wanyu and Qi Yaxue hadn't been in seclusion breaking through to the Meridian Opening Realm and could have participated normally, Lin Yutong would have remained quiet and not spoken up.

Lin Yutong thought highly of Su Mo, but regarding the issue of his bone structure, her opinion was the same as that of their senior disciple brother Liu Feiliang and senior disciple sister Ao Lingyu. They all felt that Su Mo's martial arts achievements would not be very high.

After the matter was discussed and decided, Luo Lianbo went to inform Su Mo.
