188: Chapter 188 Defeating Four Clans' Geniuses, the Mysterious Space Phantom

On the martial arts stage, the four young geniuses immediately surrounded Lin Yuan in the center.

"Kid, you're from Linggu Village, right? I know that girl. She's a concubine my second brother plans to take in," the black-clothed youth suddenly spoke, pointing at Qiao Nana standing below the stage.

"Pah! Who wants to marry your second brother!" Qiao Nana, standing below the stage, immediately retorted.

"Whether you marry or not is not up to you. Kid, since you come from Linggu Village, you should know how powerful my Xiao Family is. That's right, I am Xiao Jianren's older brother, Xiao Hundan, the number one genius among the younger generation of the Xiao Family.

You actually dare to challenge the four of us alone. All four of us are genius heirs from the Four Great Families supplying medicinal herbs in Tianxing City. Any one of us is beyond your imagination. It's not too late to surrender now!" Xiao Hundan said proudly.

"Four Great Families? What high airs. You think this is enough to make me surrender? What kind of good things are you dreaming of?" Lin Yuan scoffed.

"Kid, you ignorant fool from a remote, poor village, how could you know the strength of us geniuses? You think you're invincible just because you have a little bit of strength? Even Sun Qian, the strongest in your Linggu Village, wouldn't dare to breathe loudly in front of us four. You, a kid who hasn't even fully grown, dare to shout at us?" the Jiang Family genius also spoke up.

"Exactly. A competition of this level is not something a lowly villager like you can participate in. Hurry up and scram, don't waste our time."

...The geniuses from the Du Family and Wu Family also spoke one after another, all wearing condescending expressions.

"What? You've been babbling so much, trying to PUA me into surrendering? Are you that scared of me?" Lin Yuan hooked his lips and pointed at the four.

"Hahahaha... Scared of you? You truly are ignorant. Haven't you heard our four names before?" Xiao Hundan laughed disdainfully.

"Your name, you little bastard, I really haven't heard of it. But you and your little brother, Little Jianren, are truly brothers. You must not be your father's biological sons. How much must he hate the two of you little bastards to give you such domineering names?" Lin Yuan said with a half-smile.

"You, you, you!..." Xiao Hundan was completely choked and speechless.

"Kid, you're only fierce with your mouth. If we actually fight, and you end up missing an arm or a leg, don't blame us for not warning you!"

"Kid, you really don't know our reputation? Having a foul mouth will only make your end more miserable!"

...The others spoke up one after another, but Lin Yuan just scoffed dismissively:

"Your reputation? Is it that amazing? When you can't even get up from the ground later, your reputation will only become more resounding."

"Hmph!... Brothers, this person is disrespecting our Four Great Families. Stop wasting time talking nonsense with him, let's take him down directly!!"

Xiao Hundan knew he couldn't win the war of words against Lin Yuan, so he decided to use numbers to bully the minority and knock him down first.

In an instant, the four geniuses attacked abruptly, unleashing various secret techniques.

Lin Yuan's base combat power had already reached the standard of the Third Layer. Fighting a group of Second Tier practitioners was simply too easy.

He executed the Star Scar Nine Steps with his feet, and his figure immediately became elusive. Even Steward Wang, a master at the Seventh Layer of the Profound Mystery Realm, could not lock onto his position with his divine sense.

"He really has some skill," Steward Wang nodded.

The Young Master showed a smile; this was truly becoming interesting.

Lin Yuan's figure was erratic, moving among the four. His slaps were neither biased nor partial, distributed evenly. After a few breaths, the faces of the four were swollen high, looking utterly miserable.

Dealing with these little shrimp, Lin Yuan really didn't dare to use secret techniques. If he accidentally grazed or bumped them, they wouldn't have a life left.

"You little beast! If you have guts, come out and fight us head-on!" Xiao Hundan roared in terror, looking around.

"You are too weak. I'm done playing. All of you, get off!"

Lin Yuan's calm voice came, and immediately, the chests of the four suffered heavy blows almost simultaneously. They were instantly sent flying off the stage. After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, they couldn't catch their breath, rolled their eyes back, and collapsed into unconsciousness.

Everyone present showed shocked expressions.

The people from the Four Great Families quickly stepped forward to check the injuries of their respective heirs. The onlookers from the Wan Family Exchange began to discuss animatedly.

"How is this possible?! They are all the most outstanding geniuses in Tianxing City. How could they be so crushed by a young man?"

"Right, this is too unbelievable. This young man should be from a small mountain village like Linggu Village, yet his strength is so formidable!"

"It seems this small mountain village is not simple. A young man who was unknown can defeat four single-handedly and win easily. Is the sky of Tianxing City about to change?"

...The people from the Four Great Families, after examining the injuries of the four geniuses, immediately started accusing.

"Young Master Wan, Linggu Village is a remote small mountain village. Their strongest is only at the First Layer of the Profound Mystery Realm. How could such a powerful young genius appear? This person must be an imposter with malicious intent toward the Wan Family!"

"Exactly, Young Master Wan. This person's moves are ruthless, and his mind is vicious. You must not be deceived by him!"

...Everyone spoke up, but the Young Master of the Wan Family was completely unmoved. Setting aside whether Lin Yuan had any ulterior motives, even if he did, it was insignificant before the Wan Family.

How could the Wan Family not investigate his background? If they found any discrepancies, with him only being at the Second Layer, wouldn't he be easily manipulated?

"Hahahaha... Interesting, truly interesting. I've finally seen someone decent. What is your name? You have a spot for the trial," the Young Master of the Wan Family said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan slightly cupped his hands: "I am Lin Yuan from Linggu Village. Our village relies on planting medicinal herbs for a living. Our yield is huge, and the quality is superior. The reason I came this time is to seek cooperation with the Wan Family. I hope the Wan Family can directly purchase our medicinal herbs."

"These are minor matters. Steward Wang, send someone to liaise with Linggu Village," the Young Master said.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Young Master Wan, our Linggu Village is weak. Now that we are cooperating with your Wan Family, I fear the other few families will become restless."

Lin Yuan glanced at the people from the Four Great Families around him, noticing their gazes seemed eager to devour him alive.

"You are partners of my Wan Family. I'd like to see who dares to have crooked ideas. You just come with me for the trial, and my Wan Family will handle the rest," the Young Master said proudly.

"Good, then I thank Young Master Wan," Lin Yuan cupped his hands in thanks.

With the sales channel provided by the Wan Family, Linggu Village could develop rapidly. By the time he returned from the trial, there would be no need for the medicinal herb families of Tianxing City to exist; Linggu Village alone would suffice.

In the future, when Blue Star advances into the starry sky, having the medicinal herb business from Linggu Village would also allow for rapid development.

Since the Young Master of the Wan Family had spoken, no one dared to make things difficult for Lin Yuan, so they could only give up for now and take their injured geniuses away for treatment.

However, as they left, they still shot Lin Yuan venomous glances.

Lin Yuan's lips curved slightly. Seeking revenge? Fine. As long as they dared to come, they must be prepared to leave their lives behind...
