Lin Shen: The strongest dark horse? He's nothing but a clown!

Dead silence!

After a full ten seconds of dead silence!

The entire "Dragon's Nest" stadium was instantly flooded by an unprecedented wave of fanatical sound, like a volcanic eruption!

"Holy shit—!!!"

"What did I just see?! One punch! Just one fucking punch! An established powerhouse at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Sixth Level was insta-killed just like that?!"

"Is this the kind of damage a Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Level can deal? You call this the Second Level? This is clearly a prehistoric behemoth wearing the skin of a Second Level!"

"Too terrifying! Too abnormal! What kind of monster is this Ye Xuan? Wasn't he just at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Second Level recently? Did he level up again?"

"Yeah! This leveling speed—even a rocket wouldn't be this fast, right?!"

"He definitely took drugs! No! Even drugs wouldn't make him this fierce! He must have used some forbidden secret technique!"

"Who cares what he used! Winning is awesome! From today on, I'm a die-hard fan of Ye Xuan! This is so fucking hype!"

...Countless spectators were so excited their faces turned red, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Those commentators who had previously asserted that Ye Xuan would stop here now felt as if they had been slapped hard in the face.

Their faces burned, and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Ye Xuan!

At this moment, this name completely ignited the entire venue!

He was no longer a dark horse, but a... Primordial Vicious Beast capable of crushing everything!

...Inside the VIP box.

Unlike the frenzy outside that almost blew the roof off, it was so quiet here that you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Yuan still maintained that lazy posture.

However, his originally bored eyes now narrowed slightly, and his brow furrowed imperceptibly.

He was certainly not shocked by Ye Xuan's power.

In his eyes, let alone the Marrow Cleansing Realm Fourth Level, even if Ye Xuan were to achieve Ascension on the spot and become a Land Immortal, he would still be nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

The reason he frowned was that he smelled a hint of... disharmony from that punch Ye Xuan just unleashed.

That power seemed incomparably violent and peerlessly fierce.

But in Lin Yuan's perception, which was comparable to a god's inspection, it appeared mottled, messy, and unstable.

It was like a low-quality engine being forcibly filled with the highest grade of aviation fuel.

On the surface, the roar was deafening, but in reality, the internal parts were on the verge of collapse and could explode at any moment.

"Interesting..."

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a playful arc.

He could clearly feel that the life essence within Ye Xuan's body was being burned and squandered at a visible rate.

That power didn't belong to him at all.

It was more like... it was being forcibly stimulated by some external force.

"I see."

Lin Yuan's gaze seemed to penetrate space, penetrate Ye Xuan's flesh and blood, and look directly into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

That trembling yet pretending-to-be-calm old Soul.

Ultimate Ancestor!

As expected, it was this old thing playing tricks.

At the same time, he also smelled a familiar scent of Medicinal Pills belonging to the Huangfu Family within Ye Xuan's violent spiritual power.

Thousand-Year Fire Lingzhi?

Tsk tsk, to raise a dog that can bite, the Huangfu Family really went all out.

One burning life, the other providing fuel.

The cooperation between these two sides was quite tacit.

Unfortunately... it was ultimately an Evil Path, nothing that could stand the light of day.

In Lin Yuan's view, the current Ye Xuan was not a Martial Artist at all.

He was more like a marionette controlled by two external forces!

Paying the price of overdrawing his future and burning his Soul to perform a self-righteous show of a counterattack.

Laughable and pathetic.

"Truly... getting more and more boring."

Lin Yuan shook his head, and the hint of interest in his eyes quickly dissipated.

He had originally thought this son of destiny could bring him some different kind of fun.

As it turned out, it was still this low-level routine of an 'old grandpa' plus a 'treasure-delivering boy'.

He didn't even have the desire to continue watching.

Just then, Gu Ningxue pushed the door and walked in.

She had just finished her second round of the competition, which was also an easy one-move insta-kill.

"It's almost deafening outside."

Gu Ningxue walked to the sofa and sat down.

Without a word, she picked up a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water and gulped it down, treating the place as her own home.

A few seconds later.

She tossed the empty bottle aside and steadied her breath, saying, "That Ye Xuan is a bit stronger than I imagined. His power is very strange."

As a master at the Marrow Cleansing Realm Seventh Level, she could naturally see some clues.

But her perception was far from being as terrifying as Lin Yuan's.

She could only vaguely feel that there was a problem with Ye Xuan's power, but she couldn't see through its essence.

"Strong?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan chuckled as if he had heard a joke.

"That's not called being strong; that's called seeking death."

He glanced down at the arena.

At Ye Xuan, who was currently bathed in radiant light, enjoying the cheers of the whole crowd, his face full of arrogance and self-satisfaction.

His tone was flat, as if stating a fact.

"Every punch he throws now is another nail driven into his own coffin."

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer, striking hard against Gu Ningxue's heart.

She suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes filled with shock!

What does he mean?

He actually... saw through Ye Xuan's secrets so thoroughly?!

"Why don't you explain it more clearly?"

Gu Ningxue's interest was piqued.

"Just keep watching and you'll see!"

Lin Yuan yawned.

Facing this riddle-like guy, Gu Ningxue knew she wouldn't be able to ask anything more.

Lin Yuan said no more.

When he looked at that overbearing figure below the arena again, his gaze had completely changed.

It became a complex emotion mixed with pity and disdain.

A Genius who thought he had reached the Peak didn't know that beneath his feet was already a bottomless abyss.

And the truth of all this.

Was seen through at a glance by this lazy man in the box.
