Ordinary people would be intimidated by the aura of a tiger locked in iron chains right next to them, let alone Xu Changlao who could attack at any moment. However, Lin Ming still didnt show even a hint of fear. Although Xu Changlaos strength far surpassed his many times over, Lin Ming had seen those flying and teleporting, mountain-moving and sea-inverting great abilities in the Magic Cubes illusion. Compared to those people, Xu Changlao was just an insignificant ant. If he couldnt even overcome his own insignificance, what qualifications did he have to pursue the peak of martial arts?

  Finding that his aura and killing intent couldnt suppress Lin Ming at all, Xu Changsheng was somewhat enraged. He was just about to step forward when a shadow flashed by, and a ghostly figure appeared in front of him.

  "Xu Fengyuan, are you planning to bully your junior? You really have the demeanor of a master." As Xu Changlaos arch-nemesis, Sun Siwan naturally wouldnt let him have his way, and he took a step forward to stand in front of Lin Ming.

  There was an elder standing in front of him, and Lin Mings pressure suddenly decreased.

  From Wang Yanfeng repeatedly using high-level martial skills, as if he was about to defeat Lin Ming at any moment, to the sudden change in the battle situation, Lin Ming severely injured Wang Yanfeng, and now the two great elders appeared on the dueling platform, all of this actually happened in a very short period of time. The examinees watching from below finally came back to their senses, with cold gasps of amazement ringing out incessantly.

  This Lin Ming is completely perverted!

  However, he also offended Wang Yanfeng and Xu Changlao, so his future days may be difficult.

  Most of the people present were civilians, and they felt a bit sympathetic and indignant for Lin Ming, after all, they came from similar backgrounds, some of them had also been bullied by those talented and resourceful young masters.

  Seeing Sun Siwen come up, Xu Changlao let out a cold snort, his sleeve fluttering as he wrapped up the heavily injured Wang Yanfeng and prepared to leave. Just then, Lin Ming said: "Xu Changlao, please stay."

  "Hmm?" Xu Fengyuan furrowed his brow, not expecting Lin Ming to have the guts to call out to him. Usually, candidates who saw the elder of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect were all servile and obsequious, but this Lin Ming, after being pressured by his aura, actually dared to stop him. He was truly bold. He coldly said, "What do you want to say?"

  "Earlier, before I competed with Wang Yanfeng, we had a bet. If I won, not only would I retain the first place, but I could also get a Golden Snake Red Gall Blister. Now that Elder Xu wants to take Wang Yanfeng away, so when its time for the prize distribution later, I think I can directly receive this one."

  Lin Ming slowly finished speaking, this matter must be made clear, otherwise Wang Chui Feng will leave and if the prize is deducted and not issued, at that time, all the people present will lose their testimony, and this Golden Snake Gallbladder Pill may not be obtained.

  Wang Yanfeng was not unconscious, but his face had lost all dignity, and he didnt want to wake up. Now, hearing Lin Mings words, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pill was extremely precious, and the Wang family in Yue Lu City was indeed an aristocratic family with deep roots and countless gold and silver. However, this Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pill was not something that could be bought with just money. Over the years, Wang Yanfeng had used so many resources, and the Elder Council had already been quietly criticizing him. If he lost the Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pill, it would indeed be a major blow to Wang Yanfeng.

  "Damn it!" Wang Yanfeng cursed in his heart, resentfully staring at Lin Ming. But the words had been spoken and the water had been spilled; in front of so many people, he couldnt take them back.

  He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "The Golden Snake Red Gallbladder Pills are yours, I hope you can handle this blessing, dont eat them and end up with your tendons and marrow shattered to death!"

  Wang Yanfengs words carried a naked threat, and Lin Ming naturally heard it.

  "Ive really offended a lot of people by now, Zhu Yan, Wang Yigao, and Wang Yanfeng. These people are all from noble families, and Zhu Yan and Wang Yanfeng themselves are also talented martial artists. As for Wang Yigao, after what happened last time, hes probably thoroughly intimidated and wont stir up any more trouble. However, as for Zhu Yan and Wang Yanfeng, in the future when I enter the Seven Mysteries Martial Academy to study, they might find opportunities to take revenge. Unfortunately, I wont be able to eliminate this potential threat."

  "Offending people but not cleaning up afterwards is a big taboo, however they came to provoke me, I also cant swallow my breath and let others bully me, otherwise my own martial arts spirit and sharpness will be worn away."

  "In that case, I can only continue to improve my strength, which is the most important thing. Currently, I am definitely not a match for Zhu Yan, let alone Wang Feng, whom I previously underestimated. I thought I could kill two fierce beasts on the fifth floor of the Linglong Tower and surpass him in strength, but he combined his familys martial skills with the power of the treasure to increase his combat power so much. If I hadnt been able to see the imperfections in the flow of true yuan on the treasure, I might not have won. Perhaps I should also go buy a treasure."

  Lin Ming thought of many things in an instant, tomorrow he would formally enter the Seven Profound Martial House and naturally face Zhu Yan. Half a year ago, Zhu Yan was able to enter the Heavens Chosen with his cultivation at the peak of the third stage of Body Tempering, so his strength must be extraordinary. Lin Ming wouldnt underestimate him lightly.

  After Xu Changlao left, Sun Siwan looked at Lin Ming deeply, with a hint of surprise and incredulity in his eyes.

  If it were the previous battle, Lin Ming would have used his exquisite martial skills to defeat Wang Zhenfeng and he wouldnt be so surprised. But whats surprising is that he only used ordinary punches and kicks, yet the punch he landed on the sword hilt earlier had a hint of hitting the seven-inch acupuncture point, directly severing Wang Zhenfengs true yuan!

  To achieve this, one needs extremely keen judgment and extremely precise movements. Just landing a punch on a specific point of a rapidly swinging long sword is no less difficult than catching an arrow with bare hands.

  If it can be said that this is still possible to practice with solid basic skills, then Lin Mings discovery of Wang Yanfengs true weakness in the flow of yuan is unclear.

  This requires strong soul perception and extremely rich experience.

  Especially this experience needs to be accumulated in actual combat, this kid is only 15 years old, its impossible for him to have such experience, so is it a gift?

  Some warriors are geniuses in terms of combat skills, relying on intuition and demonic insight to counterattack on the battlefield. Originally beautiful martial arts, in their eyes, are full of flaws. You dont even know how their swords appear in front of your eyes. Such people are quite terrifying.

  Could it be... Lin Ming is also this kind of genius?

  This is getting out of hand...

  The old man Sun thought for a moment and said to Lin Ming, "Come with me."

  "Huh?" Lin Ming found that Old Man Sun was heading in a direction that wasnt towards the prize collection area, and he felt some doubt in his heart.

  "Lin Ming, come with me and lets test your spiritual talent."

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  "Linglong Tower reached the fifth floor and defeated Wang Yanfeng..."

  In a quiet room paved with bluestone bricks, Zhu Yan stood beside an ironwood stake as tall as a person, wearing only his upper body and revealing a robust physique. Next to him stood a slender old servant who looked relaxed but had even breathing and a long, gentle breath, which was a sign of having achieved the third level of physical training and the great accomplishment of practicing the internal organs.

  The servants under Zhu Yans command and those under Wang Yigaos command differ by 108,000 miles. This is not only because the Zhu family is a royal relative with greater power, but also because of Zhu Yans position in the family, which is far beyond what Wang Yigao, a second-generation ancestor, can compare to.

  Although Zhu Yan did not attend Lin Mings examination, he had the old servant keep an eye on the situation. So as soon as Lin Ming and Wang Yanfengs trial ended today, the old servant came over to report the situation.

  "This little bastard, didnt think he was hiding so deep!"

  "Boom!" Zhu Yan fiercely swung out a fist, directly smashing the iron tree trunk in two. The iron tree was originally extremely sturdy, and this particular trunk had been soaked in medicinal water, making it several times tougher than an ordinary iron tree. Yet, it was smashed in two by Zhu Yans single punch, showing just how powerful that punch was.

  Absolutely over 4,000 jin! Compared to Ling Sen, although its a bit worse, but not much worse.

  "Wang Yanfeng is indeed a bit arrogant, but he still has some skills. As far as I know, his Nine True Words have already reached the level of nine symbols and green light. With the Seven Absolute Steps, how could he lose to Lin Ming? Does Lin Ming also know martial arts?"

  The old servant said: "Young master, Lin Ming is not skilled in martial arts, he only uses his fists and feet, punching and kicking straightforwardly, without any fancy moves."

  "What? How is that possible?" Zhu Yan felt incredulous.

  "This old slave is dull-witted and doesnt know what kind of trick Lin Ming used, but the result was that he broke Wang Shaos Nine True Words, then seized the upper hand with one move, fiercely pursuing and striking, defeating Wang Shao in one breath, not giving him a single chance."

  "Broken the Nine Paths True Words?" Zhu Yan was stunned, every martial skill has its weaknesses, but its not that easy to break through. Lin Ming is just a collateral descendant of the Lin family, with humble origins, he shouldnt have much understanding of martial skills, no experience, how could he possibly break through?

  Is it Meng Zhong?

  Zhu Yan felt incomprehensible, at this time, the old servant said: "Young master, I found that Lin Mings true yuan on his body is extremely pure and not like an ordinary second-order martial artist."

  Zhu Yan said: "Ive noticed this a long time ago, theres nothing strange about it. This kid might have eaten some heavenly material and earthly treasure, plus he studied hard and had a stroke of good luck."

  "Because of the encounter, his strength suddenly surged a lot, and later because of his poor innate talent, he was slowly left behind. This kind of example is not uncommon, Lin Ming will also be one of them, its just that this kid is really annoying..."

  Zhu Yan slowly clenched his fists, not caring about Lin Mings previous words of catching up with him. He couldnt possibly take a younger and less talented kid like Lin Ming as a competitor, but because of Lan Yunyue, Zhu Yan felt annoyed whenever he saw Lin Ming.
