Suppressed with a single thought! The Chosen One's Dao Heart collapsed!

This announcement was like the final straw, completely crushing Ye Xuan's arrogant Dao Heart.

Humiliation!

Unprecedented humiliation!

He, Ye Xuan, possessed great Luck, had an Old Ancestor by his side, and considered himself the true Dragon destined by fate!

He had endured countless hardships and put in a hundred times the effort to achieve what he had today.

He had originally thought that this highly anticipated competition would be the stage where he would step on Lin Yuan's bones and soar into the sky.

But what was the result?

He didn't even have the qualifications to make his opponent attack!

With just a single thought, a wave of pressure, he had been defeated!

Defeated so thoroughly, so wretchedly, so ridiculously!

"Why... why on earth is this happening..."

Ye Xuan lay on the ground, his body unable to move, with only blood and tears of humiliation mixing together as they slid from the corners of his eyes.

He didn't understand!

He couldn't figure it out!

How could Lin Yuan, that good-for-nothing waste who had nothing but his family background, that playboy who only knew how to lie flat and sleep all day, possess such terrifying power!

This was unreasonable!

This was unfair!

"Teacher... Teacher!"

Ye Xuan screamed frantically in his heart, his voice trembling with despair.

"He... what Realm is he exactly? Why is he so strong? This is impossible!"

His Sea of Consciousness was deathly silent.

After a long while, Ultimate Ancestor's aged voice slowly sounded, but this time, it was filled with unprecedented gravity and a trace of... Fear.

"Kid... this Lin Yuan... is unfathomable!"

"I cannot see through him... but that pressure just now, that feeling of suppression originating from the level of life itself... I have only seen it once in my life!"

"His true cultivation is at least... at least the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm! Perhaps even..."

Ultimate Ancestor's voice paused, as if he found it inconceivable to even voice that guess.

"Even, he might already be at the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!"

Boom—!

Peak of the Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

This sentence was like a world-destroying divine lightning, ruthlessly striking deep into Ye Xuan's Soul!

He was completely stunned, his mind went blank, and he even stopped thinking.

Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm?

How is that possible!

He is only eighteen!

In the history of Dragon Xia Kingdom, the record for the youngest Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm was at twenty-two!

What right did Lin Yuan have?

He had worked himself to the bone, encountered constant fortuitous events, and with his teacher's help, had only just managed to break through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Level, and he was already hailed as a rare genius of the century.

But what about Lin Yuan?

He did nothing but sleep or stare blankly every day!

Why was the gap between him and Lin Yuan not shrinking, but instead widening into a gap of despair?!

Unwillingness!

Anger!

Resentment!

All sorts of negative emotions, like a dam bursting, instantly washed away all his reason and pride.

"Pfft—"

Ye Xuan could no longer suppress it, and another mouthful of heart's blood sprayed out, dyeing the arena beneath him red.

His consciousness slowly sank into endless darkness and despair.

Martial arts arena, spectator stands.

Everyone was still immersed in the scene that had just overturned their worldview, unable to recover for a long time.

That was not a martial arts match.

That was a judgment of a Mortal by a god.

"It's over... it just ended like this?"

"Lin Yuan... he didn't even make a move!"

"Too terrifying! Is this the true foundation of a wealthy family? The gap between us and him is greater than the gap between a human and a dog!"

After a brief silence, there was an overwhelming wave of discussion.

But this time, no one dared to call Lin Yuan a "winner by lying flat," and no one dared to mock him as a "coward."

When looking at that figure slowly walking off the arena, all that remained in everyone's reaction was pure awe and Fear.

In the crowd, Li Xuan'er's face was as pale as paper, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

She looked at Ye Xuan, who was stained with blood and had passed out on the arena.

She then looked at Lin Yuan, whose very back exuded an air of indifference and detachment.

A bone-chilling cold rushed from the soles of her feet to her crown.

All her previous pleasure and disdain turned into a huge joke at this moment.

She had mocked Lin Yuan as a coward, but it turned out he just didn't care to make a move.

She had treated Ye Xuan as a future supreme powerhouse, as her most successful investment.

Yet this investment couldn't even withstand a single move in front of him!

So... she was the most ridiculous fool!

She had once had the opportunity to be close to that man, to have the treatment that made all women jealous to the point of madness.

But she had pushed it all away with her own hands.

She had treated a true Dragon as a bottomless purse, but treated a self-righteous loach as a treasure!

Remorse!

Endless remorse, like a venomous snake, frantically gnawed at her heart.

If... if she hadn't treated him like that back then, if she could have seized the opportunity...

Unfortunately, in this world, there are no ifs.

On the other side, Gu Ningxue's bright eyes were also filled with shock.

She had anticipated that Lin Yuan would win.

But she never expected it would be in such a crushing, unreasonable way!

"The Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm..."

She muttered to herself, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.

This man was even more mysterious, more powerful, and even... more interesting than she had imagined!

She suddenly felt that the Lin Yuan who used to follow behind Li Xuan'er like a sycophant, and the Lin Yuan who was lazy yet domineering to his core now, were simply two different people.

"A lion never cares about the opinions of sheep..."

She remembered this sentence that Lin Yuan had said.

Now it seemed, he wasn't posturing; he was just stating a fact.

Everyone present, including Ye Xuan, in his eyes, might really just be sheep.

Lin Yuan completely ignored the tsunami-like discussion behind him.

He walked to the sofa in the contestant area and lay down comfortably again.

The old butler, Uncle Zhong, immediately came up with two maids, his face flushed with excitement.

"Young Master! You are too amazing! You are simply the Reincarnation of a Martial God!"

Uncle Zhong was so excited he was incoherent.

"Alright, alright, stop the flattery." Lin Yuan waved his hand impatiently. "Quick, call the Old Master."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Uncle Zhong hurriedly dialed that number in the North.

The light screen lit up, and Lin Zhan's stern, naturally imposing face appeared.

He had clearly seen the scene just now through the broadcast; those eyes, usually as calm as an ancient well, were now filled with irrepressible shock and ecstasy!

"You brat! When... when did you reach the Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm?!"

Lin Zhan's voice was trembling.

"Oh, I just lay there, and then I broke through."

Lin Yuan said dismissively.

Lin Zhan: "..."

He felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife.

Back in his day, to break through to the Ninth Level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, he had suffered so much, endured so much, and lingered on the edge of life and death so many times!

Yet when it came to his grandson, it just became 'I lay there and broke through'?

Comparing people only leads to anger!

"Ahem!" Lin Zhan forcibly suppressed the waves in his heart and put on a straight face. "Well done! You didn't embarrass me!"

"That goes without saying." Lin Yuan curled his lips. "Old Master, you can't go back on what we agreed upon earlier."

"Rest assured!" Lin Zhan waved his hand, speaking boldly. "I, Lin Zhan, keep my word! From today on, you can lie down however you want! Whoever dares to disturb you, I will be the first to break their legs!"

"Got it!"

Lin Yuan snapped his fingers in satisfaction and hung up the communication directly.

He stretched and instructed Uncle Zhong: "Done, pack up and go home! My back is aching today; I need to take a good bath and take a nap when I get back!"

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the "Passive Participation" mission, successfully slapping the face of the Son of Destiny, and defending the dignity of lying flat!】

【System Evaluation: Perfect performance! With the least amount of effort, you caused the greatest sensation! Rewards are being distributed...】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Heaven-Grade Supreme Cultivation Technique — "Kunpeng Carefree Steps"!】

Listening to the series of notifications in his mind, Lin Yuan's mood became even more pleasant.

Another Heaven-Grade Supreme Cultivation Technique?

This wave was not a loss!

Just as he was preparing to get up and leave.

A crisp female voice with a hint of teasing came from the side.

"Champion Lin, in such a rush to leave? Not staying to enjoy the cheers and adoration of the entire school?"

Lin Yuan turned his head and saw Gu Ningxue, who was holding her arms and looking at him with a smile.
