Hearing Lin Yi's rude words, Xie Yingying's feigned composure crumbled, and her face turned ugly. "Arrogant! I'd like to see what you're capable of."
As soon as she finished speaking, faint specks of Yuan energy appeared on Xie Yingying's body, indicating that she was preparing to make her move.
"Yingying, let me do it!"
At this moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out, and then a figure leaped directly down from the second floor. The upright posture made all the younger generation present feel a sense of pressure.
"Lightning Force!"
Upon seeing the tall, imposing man in his tight-fitting clothes, Lin Xia and the others instantly changed their expressions and hurriedly swarmed behind Lin Yi, their eyes filled with worry.
"Brother Lei Li!" The Xie family members were overjoyed to see him, and Xie Ting exclaimed with delight.
"Yingying, you can just watch from the side," Lei Li said with a gentle smile as he looked at Xie Yingying.
"Hmm," Xie Yingying smiled slightly upon seeing Lei Li, and when she looked at Lin Yi, a faint curve appeared on her lips.
"Lin Yi, is it? I heard you're the number one in the Lin family competition, but relying on that title to be so arrogant is a bit like being a frog in a well. Today, I'll show you what it means to be outmatched and have a world beyond your reach!"
Lei Li smiled at Lin Yi, speaking with an air of superiority.
"Could it be that you are the 'man beyond man' or the 'heaven beyond heaven'?"
Lin Yi stretched out his little finger and picked at his ear, saying impatiently, "Alright, stop pretending. If you're going to do it, hurry up. I still need to go shopping with my Qingtan."
"court death!"
Enraged by Lin Yi's nonchalant attitude, Lei Li shouted coldly and stomped his foot heavily on the ground, shooting towards Lin Yi like a cannonball.
A rich luster surged rapidly from the fist, and the sharp wind caused Lin Xia and the others to turn pale.
Lin Yi, however, remained calm and composed. He clenched his right fist and casually swung it forward to meet Lei Li's fist.
"boom!"
Two fists collided suddenly under the tense gazes of the crowd, and an invisible wave of energy spread outwards!
Chapter 14: The Lin Family's Shock at Repelling Lei Li!
"boom!"
A deep sound rang out as the fists collided, and the powerful force sent dust flying from the nearby ground!
"Thump thump!"
Their fists clashed and separated instantly. To everyone's disbelief, Lin Yi stood firmly in place, while Lei Li was knocked back five or six steps!
"They actually repelled Lei Li..."
Looking at Lin Yi, who stood steadily in place, everyone, from the Xie family and the younger generation of the Lin family to the onlookers on the gravel square, was filled with astonishment.
Lei Li is quite famous in Qingyang Town. It is said that he has already reached the ninth level of Body Tempering and may advance to the Earthly Realm in a few months.
Among the younger generation in Qingyang Town, Lei Li is undoubtedly the number one.
However, today, this so-called number one was actually knocked back by Lin Yi with a single punch, which shocked many people.
Xie Yingying and Xie Ting's expressions also changed slightly.
If they knew that Lin Yi had held back just now, I wonder what their expressions would be.
Lei Li, who had retreated, lost his previous composure, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
"You do have some skill, no wonder you're so arrogant! However, I only used half my strength just now. From now on, I'm going to get serious. Your good luck ends here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Li slightly bent his hands into claw shapes, and a rich luster appeared on his claws, with the fluctuations of Yuan energy spreading out.
Judging from his appearance, he was clearly about to use his martial arts to fight his enemy.
Upon hearing Lei Li's words and feeling the pressure emanating from him, the joy on Lin Xia and the others' faces vanished instantly.
Lin Yi remained calm. The lightning power of the ninth level of Body Tempering posed no threat to him. What he needed to consider was how far he wanted to take this battle.
"Hehe, it's really lively here..."
Just as everyone was preparing to watch a good show, a discordant laugh suddenly rang out.
Immediately, a dozen or so figures leaped down from the nearby pavilion and walked straight into the arena.
The dozen or so people who appeared were all teenagers around sixteen or seventeen years old.
They were all wearing the same clothes, with a pattern on the chest of their clothes depicting a large sword dancing like a whirlwind.
"The people from the Mad Blade Martial Arts School have arrived too, this is going to be even more exciting!"
Upon seeing these people arrive, whispers arose from the crowd.
In Qingyang Town, the Lei and Xie families are on good terms, while the Kuangdao Martial Arts School is closer to the Lin family.
Among the group of teenagers from the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, the leader was slightly thin, but his hands were unusually large and covered with calluses, clearly the result of frequent sword practice.
At this moment, the young man first glanced at Lei Li, then smiled and gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, "You must be Lin Yi, the number one in the Lin family competition? You actually managed to force Lei Li to retreat, well done!"
"I was just careless for a moment," Lei Li said, his face darkening as he looked at the grinning boy. "Besides, this is between him and me, Wu Yun, mind your own business!"
"I heard that this was originally a matter between the Xie family and the Lin family, and you were the one meddling, weren't you?" Wu Yun's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile.
"Hehe, Lei Li, if you like playing so much, I'll play with you, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yun stared at Lei Li with a burning gaze, licked his lips, and looked eager to try.
Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Lei Li's expression shifted between light and dark.
It wasn't that he couldn't beat Wu Yun, but this guy was a fighting monster. Once he started fighting, it would never end, like a madman. So even he wouldn't want to fight this guy unless he had no other choice.
Moreover, if he is held back by Wu Yun, Xie Yingying will likely suffer a loss when facing Lin Yi.
"Alright, you little rascals, you've had enough fun. Go back to your business here."
Just then, a helpless voice came from the pavilion.
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man staring down at them, followed by a group of burly men.
"That's the manager of this trading hall, a master of the Earthly Realm," Lin Xia introduced from behind Lin Yi.
Upon seeing the steward appear, Lei Li's eyes flickered slightly. He dispersed the Yuan Qi fluctuations in his palm, glanced at Lin Yi, and said calmly:
"You're lucky today. I'll take good care of you during the hunting competition!"
"Also, Wu Yun, I'll let you fight to your heart's content at the hunting competition. Just don't hide then..."
After saying that, Lei Li sneered and turned to leave with Xie Yingying and the others.
During this period, as long as he breaks through to the Earthly Realm, he is confident that he can defeat Lin Yi and Wu Yun even if they join forces!
Watching Lei Li and his group leave, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes but did not press the matter further.
When the hunting competition arrives, he will give his opponent a big surprise!
"Hehe, Lin Xia, it seems your Lin family has finally produced an extraordinary fellow," Wu Yun said to Lin Xia with a smile after watching Lei Li and the others leave. He glanced at Lin Yi and then said this.
Lin Xia patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said proudly, "Of course! With Lin Yi's cultivation speed, I believe he will soon become the number one junior in Qingyang Town!"
After exchanging a few words, Wu Yun and his men took their leave.
"Let's go back too," Lin Xia suggested to the group, seeing that the crowd had almost dispersed.
"You all go back first, I have something to do," Lin Yi said to Lin Xia and the others after a slight pause.
Qingtan said, "Brother Lin Yi, I'll go with you."
Lin Yi shook his head. "Listen to me, you go back with Sister Lin Xia and the others first. I'll be back soon."
"Alright," Qingtan nodded in agreement, though she was a little reluctant.
After Lin Xia, Qing Tan, and the others left, Lin Yi also left the pavilion, found a secluded little shop, bought a cloak, put on a black robe over it, and then hurried towards the underground exchange.
This wasn't Lin Yi's first time visiting this underground exchange. After circling the streets twice, he quickly arrived at his destination.
Lin Yi came to the underground exchange to exchange stone talisman liquid for spiritual herbs.
To Lin Yi's slight regret, he did not find any spiritual herbs of grade four or above, and in the end, he exchanged them for a few grade three spiritual herbs.
In addition, Lin Yi originally planned to buy a Qiankun Bag to store some Yang Yuan Pills for his father Lin Xiao to use for cultivation, but unfortunately, there were no Qiankun Bags for sale in the entire underground exchange.
He had already secretly decided to go to Yancheng in a few days.
Back home, Lin Yi was summoned to a family gathering at the end of the month.
Lin Zhentian, Lincoln, and the others were overjoyed to learn that Lin Yi had defeated Lei Li in the trading market that afternoon.
"That Lei Li has already reached the ninth level of Body Tempering, and you were able to repel him. That's truly remarkable," Lincoln said with a smile, praising Lin Yi.
Lin Zhentian was also all smiles at this moment, "Lin Yi should have also advanced to the ninth level of Body Tempering, right?"
Qingtan, standing to the side, said with some pride, "Brother Lin Yi has already broken through to the Earthly Realm!"
"What?! Earthly Realm?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian, Lincoln, Lin Xiao, and the others were all extremely shocked and stared intently at Lin Yi.
Chapter 15 Cultivating the Heavenly Profound Technique, First Arrival in Yan City!
"I just broke through today," Lin Yi nodded slightly, admitting it.
"Good, good grandson, it seems that my Lin family has finally produced a true genius!"
Upon receiving Lin Yi's confirmation, Lin Zhentian couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
Lin Xiao and Lincoln smiled slightly, feeling very happy.
Lin Mang, standing to the side, had a somewhat complicated expression.
"There are still about four months until the hunt, by which time Lin Yi will surely have made considerable progress. The Lei and Xie families have taken advantage of my Lin family's bets many times, and this time, it's time for them to pay back!"
Lin Zhentian stared at Lin Yi, his face full of anticipation.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let you down. However, before the Hunting Competition, I hope everyone will keep the news of my breakthrough to the Earthly Realm a secret for now. I'll give the Lei and Xie families a big surprise!"
"Haha, okay, we'll do it your way," Lin Zhentian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, looking forward to seeing how the Lei and Xie families would react.
"By the way, now that you've broken through to the Earthly Realm, it's time to pass on your cultivation techniques."
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No need, my master prepared the cultivation method for me in advance."
