Chapter 859 Lin Miaoyu's Confidence
Ye Qinghan stood there blankly, completely frozen.
She stared blankly at the man standing before her with his hands behind his back.
It's him.
It's really him.
Lin Qiye.
The man she had dreamed of for ten years.
The man for whom she would give birth to a bunch of children every year, yet she could barely utter a single word to him.
The man who stands at the very top of the entire 075 star sector, worshipped by countless people.
He stood right in front of her.
Close at hand.
"Lin...Lin..."
Ye Qinghan's voice trembled violently, her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and her brain completely stopped working.
For the past ten years, she has given birth to a child for Lin Qiye every year.
But each time, a special attendant was responsible for delivering the baby.
Each time, she could only watch the man's back from afar.
She didn't even know what his voice sounded like.
until now.
"Ye Qinghan."
Lin Qiye spoke again, his voice calm, yet clearly reaching her ears.
That deep, magnetic voice made Ye Qinghan's heart skip a beat.
So that's what his voice sounds like.
So that's how he called her name.
"You...you came to see me?"
Ye Qinghan's voice trembled violently, and her eyes instantly reddened.
"You still remember me?"
Her questions were somewhat incoherent, but the expectation in her eyes was so obvious.
Lin Qiye did not answer.
He simply glanced at Ye Qinghan, his gaze lingering for a moment on her young, beautiful, yet somewhat innocent face.
……
An hour later, Ye Qinghan was still standing there, as if her soul had left her body.
The image of Lin Qiye from just moments ago kept replaying in her mind—his angular face, his deep, unfathomable eyes, and the faint divine aura surrounding him…
Seven years have passed.
For seven whole years, she never saw him again.
Although she bore him twenty-three children, she saw him face-to-face only a handful of times.
Each meeting was just a fleeting glance, and then there was no further interaction.
"Mom? Mom?"
Lin Miaoyu's voice pulled her back to reality.
"Huh?" Ye Qinghan came back to her senses, but still looked blank.
Lin Miaoyu rolled her eyes at her mother's absent-minded look.
She knew it would be like this.
Every time her father is mentioned, her mother reacts in this way.
She looked like a little fangirl meeting her idol, completely lacking the composure a mother should have.
Her father is gone, but she remains in the moment just now.
"Mom," Lin Miaoyu sighed, trying to make her tone sound serious, "did you hear what I just said to you?"
"Wh...what did you say?" Ye Qinghan still seemed lost in thought.
Lin Miaoyu took a deep breath, feeling her blood pressure soaring.
"I told you, Mom, you need to cultivate yourself properly!"
"Huh? Cultivation?" Ye Qinghan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Oh, okay, okay, cultivation, cultivation..."
Lin Miaoyu's lips twitched.
She bet her mother hadn't taken her words to heart at all.
Right now, her mother's mind is definitely filled with the scene of Lin Qiye appearing just now.
"Mom, listen to me!" Lin Miaoyu grabbed Ye Qinghan's hand, her expression serious. "Think about it, what was Father's attitude when you saw him just now?"
"Wh...what attitude?" Ye Qinghan was still in a daze.
Lin Miaoyu said, enunciating each word clearly, "From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at you once!"
Ye Qinghan's expression froze instantly.
"Why is that?" Lin Miaoyu continued, "Because you're only a peak six-star martial artist! In Father's eyes, you're no different from those maids!"
"But what if," Lin Miaoyu's tone suddenly became excited, "what if you could break through to the extraordinary realm? Or even higher?"
"By then, your father will definitely look at you with new respect!"
Ye Qinghan fell silent.
She looked down at her hands, a complex light flashing in her eyes.
My daughter is right.
When Lin Qiye appeared just now, he didn't even glance at her.
His gaze swept over her indifferently before he turned and left.
That feeling...
It's like looking at an insignificant stranger.
"But..." Ye Qinghan bit her lip, "You know how talenty my mother is; she hasn't made much progress over the years..."
"That's because you haven't worked hard enough!" Lin Miaoyu interrupted her bluntly. "Mom, ask yourself honestly, how much time have you actually spent cultivating in these past seven years?"
Ye Qinghan was speechless when asked the question.
"But Mom, have you ever thought that if you had devoted more time and energy to cultivation, you would have already reached the transcendent realm!"
Ye Qinghan's face turned bright red.
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that her daughter's words made perfect sense.
"Mom," Lin Miaoyu's tone softened, "I'm not blaming you. I know you love Father, and that love is real."
"But Mom, this world is about strength. If you don't have strength, no matter how much you love Father, you won't get his attention."
"But what if you have the strength?" A glint flashed in Lin Miaoyu's eyes. "If you become a powerful expert in the extraordinary realm, or even a higher, more mysterious realm, would Father still ignore you?"
Ye Qinghan fell silent.
She raised her head and looked at the distant blue sky.
My daughter is right.
If she has the ability...
If she can become someone Lin Qiye looks at with new respect...
So, will she get more attention?
"good."
Ye Qinghan's voice suddenly became firm.
"Mom will listen to you."
Lin Miaoyu's eyes lit up: "Mom, you agreed?"
"Yes." Ye Qinghan nodded. "Mom needs to work hard at her cultivation."
"Mom needs to become someone your father looks at with new respect!"
A bright smile appeared on Lin Miaoyu's face.
"That's right! Mom, wait for me, I'll take you to the cultivation room right now!"
With that, she grabbed Ye Qinghan's hand and hurried toward the cultivation room.
"Wait, wait!" Ye Qinghan stumbled as her daughter tugged at her. "So fast? Shouldn't we prepare?"
"Prepare what?" Lin Miaoyu asked without turning her head. "Time waits for no one! The semi-finals start in three days. If you don't work hard now, it'll be too late!"
"But...but..."
"But what? Think about how your father looked just now! Do you really want to be a nobody, ignored by your father, for the rest of your life?"
"I..." Ye Qinghan felt a little wronged by her daughter's words.
"It's not that I'm useless, I just..."
"Just what?"
"But..." Ye Qinghan bit her lip, "I really don't know how to cultivate..."
Lin Miaoyu was stunned for a moment.
"You don't know how to cultivate?"
"Hmm." Ye Qinghan nodded, her expression somewhat somber. "Over the years, I've been living off my past knowledge; I've almost completely forgotten my cultivation methods..."
Lin Miaoyu fell silent.
Looking at her mother's somewhat bewildered face, she felt a mix of emotions.
It turned out to be the case.
Her mother didn't not want to cultivate, but she genuinely didn't know how.
"Mom," Lin Miaoyu's tone softened, "It's okay, I can learn if I don't know how. You forgot, although I'm not very strong, I know a lot."
"Really?" Ye Qinghan looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
"Of course it's true." Lin Miaoyu nodded. "I've read many books before, and they contain a lot of methods about cultivation. Although they may not be suitable for you, there are always some things you can learn from them."
"Great!" Ye Qinghan's eyes lit up. "Let's hurry to the training room!"
Looking at her mother's excited expression, Lin Miaoyu couldn't help but smile.
Although her mother can be a bit unreliable at times, at least... she's willing to listen to advice.
"Mom, let's go." Lin Miaoyu took Ye Qinghan's hand and walked towards the training room. "From today onwards, let's work hard together!"
"Yes! Let's work hard together!" Ye Qinghan nodded emphatically.
……
The moment Lin Miaoyu stepped into the preparation room for the semi-finals, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
So exciting!
In just three days, she actually broke through from a seven-star martial artist to an eight-star martial artist!
This speed is simply astonishing!
She couldn't help but clench her fist, feeling the spiritual energy within her body that was several times stronger than it had been three days ago, and a smug smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Mom, you're amazing!"
She silently gave Ye Qinghan a thumbs up in her heart.
Three days ago, she took her mother to the meditation room, initially just to give it a try.
After all, her mother hadn't seriously cultivated for ten years, so whether she could recover her condition was a question.
But the result was beyond her expectations.
Although her mother's foundation was weak, she was, after all, a graduate of the Galaxy Martial Arts University, so she still had a solid foundation.
In addition, although he has not cultivated for the past ten years, his body has been nourished by the divine source, and his foundation is even more solid than before.
After three days of intensive training, her mother actually broke through from the peak of the six-star martial artist to the seven-star martial artist!
As the host of the "Hope Mom Becomes a Dragon System", Lin Miaoyu directly received a tenfold return!
ten times!
She broke through from the peak of the sixth star to the seventh star, and her mother gave her ten times the support, which allowed her to directly reach the eighth star martial artist!
"Is this what it feels like to win without lifting a finger?"
Lin Miaoyu squinted comfortably, feeling her whole body brimming with energy.
An eight-star martial artist!
Although he is still far from being a genius in the extraordinary realm, he is at least not at the bottom among the participants in this semi-final.
If her mother continues to train hard, maybe she can break through again during the semi-finals!
At that point, there might actually be a chance to make it to the finals...
"Cough cough."
A soft cough interrupted Lin Miaoyu's thoughts.
She looked up and found that a large number of contestants had already gathered in the preparation room.
Everyone was dressed in identical combat suits, and they stared at each other warily.
At the very front of the preparation room, a huge holographic screen was flashing a pale blue light.
"Welcome to the semi-finals of the first Spark Martial Arts Competition!"
The host's voice rang out on the holographic screen, causing a stir.
The rules for the semi-finals are as follows:
On the holographic screen, a detailed schedule map slowly unfolds.
"This semi-final will use a group round-robin format."
"The three thousand participants will be divided into thirty groups, with one hundred people in each group."
"Over the next ten days, each player will play ten rounds of random matches within their group."
"In each round, the winner gets three points, a draw gets one point each, and the loser gets zero points."
Ultimately, the top three teams in each group will advance directly to the finals.
"The remaining spots will be filled in order of the overall points ranking."
The host paused, and his tone became serious.
"Attention! The rules for the semi-finals are different from those for the preliminary rounds!"
"The preliminary round is a survival challenge, testing your survival skills and tactical awareness."
"And the semi-finals are real, hard-fought 1v1 battles!"
"Here, there's no room for shortcuts, only a clash of strength!"
Only the truly strong can stand until the end!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.
"A 1v1 battle? Real combat?"
"In that case, the difference in cultivation level becomes extremely important! A Transcendent Realm cultivator fighting a Nine-Star Martial Artist—isn't that a complete annihilation?"
"This isn't fair! How could we, as martial artists, possibly defeat those in the transcendent realm?"
Complaints rose and fell, but the host on the holographic screen remained unmoved.
"Fair?" the host sneered. "That's what the adults mean."
There has never been absolute fairness in this universe.
"Some people are born into the extraordinary realm, while others never break through to the martial artist realm in their entire lives."
"This is the difference in bloodline, this is the chasm of talent."
"What you can do is not complain, but accept it and then do everything you can to cross this gap."
"Remember this, this is the rule for adults—strength is king!"
The entire room fell silent.
Standing in the crowd, Lin Miaoyu listened to the host's cold words, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
This is the rule of this world.
Bloodline is paramount, strength is supreme.
No one cares how much effort you put in; they only care how strong you are.
"Next, please confirm your group assignments."
The host's voice rang out again.
On the holographic screen, the list of thirty groups began to scroll.
Lin Miaoyu quickly looked at her name.
"Group 23..."
She read it aloud, her eyes quickly scanning the list.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply.
In the list of Group Twenty-Three, she saw a name that resonated far and wide—
Lin Nianbai.
Lin Nianbai!!!
Lin Qiye's eldest daughter!
Breaking through to the extraordinary realm at the age of seven!!!
Top 100 in the preliminary round!!!
Lin Miaoyu's face turned pale instantly.
She never imagined that her first opponent would be this legendary figure!
"It's over..."
She swallowed unconsciously, her heart pounding wildly.
Lin Nianbai is a Transcendent Realm cultivator!
Although she had just broken through to the eighth-star martial artist level, the gap between her and the extraordinary realm was simply worlds apart!
There is an insurmountable chasm between the Martial Realm and the Transcendent Realm.
No matter how hard she tries, it's impossible for her to make up for this gap in such a short time.
"well……"
Lin Miaoyu sighed, but the fighting spirit in her eyes remained undiminished.
Oh well, if we can't beat them, we can't beat them.
Anyway, this is only the first round; there are still nine rounds to go.
As long as her mother continues to cultivate diligently, she will eventually be able to catch up with Lin Nianbai.
"Attention all contestants!" the host's voice rang out again. "The first round of the semi-finals is about to begin!"
"Group 23, please proceed to Arena 3!"
Arena 3?
Lin Miaoyu took a deep breath and followed the crowd toward Arena No. 3.
Arena No. 3 is a huge circular arena, with a diameter of 100 meters, large enough to accommodate all kinds of intense battles.
At this moment, the area around the arena was already packed with spectators.
They waved glow sticks and shouted the names of the people they supported.
"Lin Nianbai! Lin Nianbai!"
"Go, Nianbai sister!!!"
"Sister Nianbai will definitely win the championship!!!"
Lin Miaoyu stood at the entrance of the contestants' tunnel, watching the crazy cheers from the audience, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
That's the difference.
Lin Nianbai is adored by thousands wherever he goes, but she...
Forget it, I don't want to.
Lin Miaoyu shook her head, shaking those distracting thoughts out of her mind.
Just then, a figure walked past her.
She instinctively turned her head and met a pair of bright, large eyes.
She was a little girl with a ponytail, wearing a white combat uniform, exuding a sharp and confident aura.
She exuded an indescribable aura, as if she was born to stand in the highest position.
Lin Nianbai.
Lin Qiye's eldest daughter.
Just as rumored, she was arrogant and overbearing.
But that's normal.
She was Lin Qiye's first child and had been showered with love and affection since birth.
"Let's go."
Lin Miaoyu muttered something to herself and strode towards the arena.
Since we can't avoid it, let's face it head-on.
Even if we lose, we should lose with dignity!
……
Arena Number Three, in the center of the ring.
Lin Miaoyu and Lin Nianbai stood facing each other.
The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.
"The match begins!"
The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium.
Lin Nianbai moved.
Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a white lightning bolt!
Wow, so fast!!
Lin Miaoyu's pupils suddenly contracted, and she instinctively raised her round shield to block.
"Bang!!!"
A muffled thud was heard.
Lin Miaoyu felt as if she had been hit by a speeding train, and her whole body was instantly sent flying backward!
She tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to steady herself, and staggered to the edge of the ring.
"So strong..."
She looked down at her round shield, where a faint crack had appeared!
Although it was just a probing attack, it was enough to demonstrate the gap between the two.
The Martial Realm and the Transcendent Realm are not even on the same level!
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.
Lin Nianbai stood in the center of the arena, his expression calm.
She didn't even look at Lin Miaoyu again, as if the outcome was already decided.
"Just admit defeat," she said coldly.
Lin Miaoyu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a stubborn smile curving her lips.
"Admit defeat?"
"This is just the beginning!"
She took a deep breath, and her spiritual energy erupted instantly!
The aura of an eight-star martial artist was unmistakable!
Even though she knew she was no match for him, she would never give up easily!
She's a time traveler!
She's a woman with a system!
How can we admit defeat here?!
Lin Nianbai frowned slightly.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."
Her figure disappeared again.
This time, the speed was three points faster than before!
Lin Miaoyu's eyes widened as she tried her best to track the other person's movements.
left!
She suddenly dodged to the left, simultaneously swinging her sword!
"Too slow."
Lin Nianbai's voice rang in her ears.
The next instant, Lin Miaoyu felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she was sent flying backward again!
Bang!
Lin Miaoyu crashed heavily to the ground, staring blankly at her body, which had been severed at the waist.
Is this... the power of the transcendent realm?
The gap is too big.
She couldn't even withstand one move.
"Contestant Lin Miaoyu is unable to continue fighting; the match is over!"
The referee's voice rang in her ears.
"The winner is Lin Nianbai!"
A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands.
"Sister Nianbai is too strong!"
"One move! He defeated his opponent in just one move!"
"As expected of the Commander-in-Chief's eldest daughter!"
Lin Miaoyu lay quietly on the ring, letting the medical staff carry her away.
She was still conscious, but her body was unable to move.
This is the cruelty of the Spark Martial Arts Tournament.
……
Inside the medical pod, the lighting was soft.
Lin Miaoyu lay quietly on the hospital bed, her body enveloped in a faint light.
She looked down at her waist.
The place has been restored to its original state, without even a trace of a scar.
But the feeling of being severed seemed to linger in her nerve endings.
"call……"
Lin Miaoyu sighed deeply and slowly sat up from the hospital bed.
Her body has fully recovered, but she still feels somewhat heavy-hearted.
one move.
She was defeated in just one move.
"Is this the difference between the Transcendent Realm and the Martial Artist Realm...?"
She muttered to herself, her brows furrowed.
Only after experiencing it firsthand did she truly realize how terrifying this gap was.
She couldn't even keep up with her opponent's speed, let alone counterattack.
"well……"
Lin Miaoyu sighed again and shook her head helplessly.
As expected, the identity of a transmigrator cannot make up for the gap in cultivation level.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, bloodline and talent are the keys to everything.
"However... I have a system!"
As long as her mother becomes stronger, she can get ten times the return!
These past few days, under her supervision, her mother has finally started to practice seriously.
She received a tenfold return after breaking through from the peak of a six-star martial artist to a seven-star martial artist, directly soaring from the peak of a six-star martial artist to an eight-star martial artist!
Although there is still a significant gap between an eight-star martial artist and someone in the Transcendent Realm, as long as her mother continues to cultivate diligently…
"Once my mother's cultivation level rises a few more levels, I'll be able to gain even greater power!"
"By then, let alone Lin Nianbai, they might even have a chance to surpass Lin Qiye!"
"Mom, you'd better work harder!"
Lin Miaoyu prayed silently in her heart.
"Your daughter's future depends entirely on you!"
Just then, the door to the medical pod suddenly opened.
A young woman in a light pink dress rushed in, her eyes red and looking like she was about to cry.
"Brilliant! Brilliant! Are you alright?!"
Ye Qinghan rushed to Lin Miaoyu's bedside and held her hand tightly.
"I just saw you get beaten up like that on the live stream...it scared my mom to death..."
Looking at her mother's anxious expression, Lin Miaoyu felt a mix of emotions.
"Mom, I'm fine." Lin Miaoyu patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
"But...but I saw you cut in half..." Ye Qinghan's voice was still trembling, "The scene was too terrifying..."
Lin Miaoyu's lips twitched.
Did her mother watch the entire scene of her being defeated?
"Mom, it's okay," she reassured her again. "It's just a competition; winning and losing are normal."
Ye Qinghan replied, "Well, Mom is just a little disappointed..."
Lin Miaoyu felt her eyebrows twitch!
What is this mother regretting so much...?
