Martial Hero Rebirth

Ouyang Ming, Master of Huashan, finally decided to open the position of chief disciple in order to share his daily difficulties and hardships with another person - and especially because of how much the situation had become tense.

The beginning of the election of the chief disciple was officially announced, which is why the entire top of Huashan convened secret meetings and divided into groups. Lin Yi climbed to the top of the mountain and, wherever he went, he heard voices everywhere. Unintelligible, but the topic of discussion was obvious.

Led by the maiden, he entered Yu Zecheng's palace. Many people had already gathered in the main hall, most were members of the upper court, but there were also plenty of true ones.

These true disciples were all members of the Yu family. With admiring glances and excited voices, they gathered around Zecheng and discussed something - however, the owner of the estate spoke most of all, almost foaming at the mouth.

When Lin Yi entered, Zecheng quickly broke away from the crowd and almost ran towards him, shouting joyfully:

“Junior Brother Lin, you are just in time, we are discussing something very important! I’m sure you’ve already heard it yourself, but the Sect Master suddenly announced that he was ready to choose the main disciple of Huashan. All true disciples are worthy to participate in the race. Elder Brother Linghu—or rather, six of the Seven Heroes of Huashan—have already announced that they are participating.”

“Big Brother Yu, you better tell me what the rules are in elections.”

Zecheng led him to the waiting guests and answered along the way:

“And, so, the first condition: this is the ability to manage. Chief Disciple Huashan must show the ability to rule our huge sect and all its branches. This means recognition of the majority, therefore, almost all contenders have already been excluded from the race. Only the most outstanding will be able to win - oh, or rather, in the words of the Sect Master, the main disciple will be chosen by him personally in any case, but fame is still important.”

“Everyone who wants to participate is famous in Huashan and beyond. And although there are many outstanding people among my students and protégés, none can compare with the Seven Heroes of Huashan. Except you. Therefore, Junior Brother Lin, join us and help me become a master disciple!”

Zecheng said these words, radiating light with his entire being. The expectant eyes of everyone else in the hall settled on the Heavenly Sword.

It was true. In Huashan, only Lin Yi became as famous as Linghu Feng. If he supports Zecheng, then they will have a chance to win.

However, he did not answer, and Zecheng added:

“Junior Brother Lin, if you help me, I will help in return. You will definitely become an elder - if you want a better palace, it will immediately be yours. Wealth, fame, secret techniques, the best medicine and equipment - I will fulfill any of your requests!”

Having heard no answer and not seeing approval, he hastened to add:

“Besides, I noticed that Lian Rulu, Linghu Feng’s younger sister, is looking at you unkindly. I understand everything. She is a stubborn and arrogant girl. If Linghu Feng becomes the boss, I'm afraid you will suffer greatly, Junior Brother. I swear, I saw with my own eyes that she is even now ready to poison your life! But if you support me, then you can rest assured that I will protect your future, even if I have to drive her to the ass with a broom!”

“Yes, Junior Brother Lin, join us! We know Huashan better than the Seven Heroes, you must understand that a happy future awaits you only with us!”

“Senior Brother Lin, true disciples, even those who came from the lower courtyard, look at the new generation as dirt. For them, everyone beyond the top of Mount Hua is strangers. And the worst thing is with the Seven Heroes of Huashan - for them there is no one at all except their small cohort. They only want to gain the position of head disciple for their own benefit. If you let them, then it’s as if they wouldn’t abandon the entire sect altogether. Okay, maybe I'm going too far, but no one expects anything good for beginners from them.”

“Yes, Junior Brother Lin, join us for the sake of Huashan!”

There was hope in people's eyes. They looked at each other, as if they were worried about finding at least some doubts in each other.

“Junior Brother Lin, ever since you entered Huashan, haven't I been kind to you? I'm not bragging, you should know that I'm a good person. Tell me, you like me more than Linghu Feng?”

Lin Yi nodded:

“Yes, Big Brother Yu, you have always been kind to me. And I will never forget about it.”

“Then why are you still doubting?” Zecheng asked anxiously.

“Senior brother, if it were possible, I would definitely join you, but...”

Lin Yi looked away, biting his lip. Everyone's face in the palace changed colors.

“But what? Little brother, what's the matter? Is someone threatening you? Zecheng became gloomy.

“No, that wouldn't stop me." Returning his determined expression, he loudly declared, “Senior Brother Yu, I want to join you, but I can’t because I myself am going to compete for the position of head disciple.”!”

“What?!" everyone exclaimed at once.

“You too?" Zecheng was amazed. “Little brother, don’t under any circumstances think that I am against you—your talent truly deserves this place. But you've been here for less than a year, you don't know Huashan as well as we do. Or like Linghu Feng - or any other member for that matter.”

“I understand,” Lin Yi nodded..

“Do you understand, but still want to fight? Look, I know what advantages the position brings, but we also cannot forget about the disadvantages. I am no stranger to working with papers and branches; I have been in the Huashan bureaucracy almost since birth. To do this you need to have talents in a completely different area. And people, a lot of people are needed. Heck, I'm sure you may have talents like that, but do you really want to waste time on them when you can dedicate yourself entirely to the path of martial arts?”

He really didn't look down on the young protégé, all his words were sincere.

Linghu Feng was also not interested in governance, but he had six closest comrades and crowds of people of the Linghu clan throughout Huashan, ready to fulfill his every request.

Zecheng, in fact, was not sure that he would cope with this position much better than Linghu Feng, but he would be able to personally participate in any bureaucratic problems, because he had lived in them almost from birth. And Lin And what? A lonely person, without contacts, without connections, from a poor – by world standards – family. “The richest family in a small, distant outback,” which entered the fist world less than six months ago and only thanks to him. He is the only representative of his clan in Huashan. How can such a person create and control his own faction??

If they were alone, he would openly tell him that this is all bullshit.!

In the hall, all eyes moved from place to place, constantly returning to Lin Yi. No one could find the words.

“Senior Brother Yu, I myself understand how crazy my words sound. But this is the only chance in this century, how can I miss it? What is the essence of the battle path of experts, if not in striving for the top? So forgive me, but don't try to persuade me. I made a decision.”

After a short pause, he still added:

“I'm also sorry that I can't help you, Big Brother Yu. If it were possible, I would never compete with you.”

Zecheng shook his head:

“Since this is your desire, I will not stop you. How can I stand in your way? However, we can still work together. The main opponent for both of us is Linghu Feng. If necessary, I will speak for you, but I will not allow him to take the throne..”

“Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother Yu!” Lin Yi exclaimed and left the hall.

As soon as his back disappeared behind the doors, everyone gathered around Zecheng.

“Big Brother Yu, does he even have a chance? His victory will be a miracle, no?”

“Well, maybe,” Zecheng smiled wryly. “But we can’t defeat Linghu Feng either, can we??”

Everyone lowered their heads. Linghu Feng is a great mountain that they never dreamed of conquering.

“So don’t say that Brother Lin’s wish is ridiculous. He may have no connections or roots, but so far no one knows who will succeed. What if he also has a talent for management? Besides, this guy has already performed miracles more than once. At least I'd rather root for him than Linghu Feng.”

“Yes, that's right. As a last resort, Junior Brother Lin is from our circle.”

“Well, let's pray that the little brother will continue to perform miracles in the future. The second stage is strength, we cannot win in it, but at least in the first stage we must show what we are capable of!”

After leaving the palace, Lin Yi went straight to the Sect Master.
