167: Sky Garden

Upon reaching his destination, Lin Ye completed a series of registrations.

The process wasn't complicated; it just required on-site confirmation.

"Lin Ye, come on, let's go have some fun." Beilu flew over and put his arm around Lin Ye's neck.

"Where are we going?" Lin Ye was half-pushed forward by Beilu.

"Of course, I'm taking you to a gathering. Didn't you know? There are quite a few people like us who like to stick together," Beilu explained.

Lin Ye suddenly understood.

The bond of classmates is one of the most precious relationships.

And a group of arrogant geniuses naturally disdained to play with those of low potential, so they formed their own cliques.

Lin Ye no longer resisted; he also wanted to see the abilities of these geniuses.

Beilu led him to a luxurious sky garden, where well-arranged pavilions and colorful flowers complemented each other. Besides the conversing guests, only the occasional elegant waiter adding drinks passed through.

'I didn't expect the taste to be quite good,' Lin Ye muttered to himself.

They seemed to have gathered many times in the virtual world. Seeing Beilu arrive, they greeted him one after another.

"Beilu, why are you so slow? It's just you and Charles left."

"Beilu, didn't we agree not to bring anyone else? Who is this person beside you?"

Beilu flew over and put his arm around Lin Ye's neck, patting his chest and assuring them, "Everyone, rest assured, this is Lin Ye, the one I told you about."

Lin Ye stepped forward and greeted them.

Everyone was a bit surprised. In the virtual world, Beilu had boasted a lot about Lin Ye, and as the strongest among them, he had never praised anyone like that.

"Are you really from a Level Nine civilization?" a three-headed creature asked curiously.

Its other two heads also looked puzzled.

Lin Ye nodded; there was nothing to hide.

"I don't believe it. A Level Nine civilization can't produce the kind of genius Beilu talks about. Let's spar," the three heads scrutinized Lin Ye from different directions, their eyes full of provocation.

"Alright, but let's not hurt our camaraderie," Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled, having already decided to teach the three-headed creature a lesson.

The three-headed creature's words seemed unintentional yet deliberate, subtly belittling him and the human race.

'Was it intentional or accidental?' Lin Ye decided to properly assert himself.

The three-headed Life maintained its nonchalant attitude. "Alright, you can't enter the virtual world, right? Then let's go to the Duel Arena in the sky garden."

The others did not stop them, secretly watching the show, or rather, it was this group of people who instigated the three-headed monster to come forward.

The three-headed monster had many brains, but its intelligence didn't seem to be up to par.

Beilu also had the attitude of watching a good show, except he was waiting for the three-headed monster's embarrassment.

If the three-headed monster looked down on Lin Ye, it was looking down on him, and he was naturally displeased.

Everyone arrived at the Duel Arena.

Beilu, not one to shy away from a spectacle, personally acted as the referee.

With a command, the three-headed monster's shadows rushed forward like vipers.

Lin Ye sneered inwardly. 'Does he dare to be so arrogant with just this level?'

The three-headed monster's shadows suddenly doubled in number, and each shadow's head condensed an energy spike, attacking Lin Ye.

"It's the three-headed monster's Shadow Manipulation skill; it's quite tricky."

"Indeed, it's troublesome. I certainly don't want to face him."

"Let's see if this Lin Ye is as formidable as Beilu said. If he is, our small group will have a strong backer. If not, watching a joke is also good."

Lin Ye casually shifted his body slightly, dodging the spikes. "Is that all?"

Those simple two words, inexplicably, surpassed all mockery. The three-headed monster's anger was ignited, and instantly, its shadows increased fivefold.

"MyriadJiao Devour."

All the shadows transformed into black flood dragons. For a moment, a multitude of dragons danced wildly, surging towards Lin Ye.

The overwhelming dragon shadows were like demons dancing in chaos, while Lin Ye was but an insignificant figure beneath them.

"Three-headed, don't get serious." One of the onlookers frowned.

"Exactly, if things get out of hand, it'll be awkward for everyone," another said.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, twisted his body, and threw a punch.

Star Shattering Fist.

Lin Ye's punch, without any amplification skills activated, was still world-destroying. The sky full of dragon shadows emitted sharp explosive sounds and vanished into the air.

And their owner, the three-headed creature, had been sent flying by a single punch, its body pressed tightly against the protective shield, creating ripples.

"What did I just see?"

"One punch, it was just one punch."

The surrounding King Grade geniuses exclaimed in surprise.

Those who had undergone perfect advancement generally had an amplitude of around two to three hundred, varying slightly by race, with similar physical qualities. Yet, this was the first time they had seen such terrifying physical qualities among peers.

"Impossible." The three-headed monster dispelled Lin Ye's punch force but dared not act rashly.

It was precisely because of its personal experience that it could feel how powerful Lin Ye's physical body was.

'You're strong physically, right? I'll wear you down.'

"Dark Domain."

Darkness enveloped the entire arena, devouring all light and heat in the world.

The mark on Lin Ye's brow seemed provoked, wanting to teach this second-generation a lesson.

Lin Ye suppressed the mark's fluctuations. Dealing with such a small fry wasn't worth it.

The various negative effects of the Dark Domain stripped Lin Ye of his six senses. Countless shadows lurked in the depths of the darkness, waiting for an opportunity as Lin Ye's six senses declined.

Lin Ye found it somewhat amusing. 'How many years has it been since anyone tried something like this?'

His Primordial Grade Star Eyes shot out a silver light, tearing through the Dark Domain and revealing the three-faced, astonished three-headed creature.

Lin Ye did not destroy the domain; this Dark Domain was the best anti-peeping screen.

He rushed forward, grabbed the three-headed creature, and gave it a thorough beating.

'Three heads, huh? I'll swell them all up.'

'You look down on humans, right? Then let me show you a human's iron fist.'

The three-headed creature wanted to make a sound, but the Dark Domain was indiscriminate, not even allowing him the right to make a sound.

It wasn't until the three-headed creature withdrew the Dark Domain that Lin Ye stopped the beating. "It was too dark just now, I didn't pay attention to holding back. Brother Three-Heads, are you alright?"

Lin Ye's demeanor did not arouse suspicion from others.

"Three-headed, why are you so weak? Getting beaten up in your own domain."

"Indeed, being strong has its drawbacks."

The Dark Domain was a very powerful domain, but it wasn't easy to control.

The three-headed creature was helped up by Lin Ye, feeling somewhat ashamed. He had been so rude, yet Lin Ye was still so polite. "It's alright, it's not your fault. After all, you couldn't see clearly either."

The not-so-bright three-headed creature was even somewhat grateful for Lin Ye's politeness now.

Lin Ye felt pity for the three-headed creature. 'Poor fool, being used as a pawn without knowing it, and even thanking me after I secretly attacked him. Poor child, he should eat more brain-boosting supplements.'

After this battle, everyone developed a sense of awe towards Lin Ye.

To be able to beat the three-headed creature so thoroughly without even releasing his domain, what kind of powerhouse was this?

A domain could greatly weaken enemies and amplify oneself. Even if the three-headed creature was weak, the impact it experienced within its own domain would still be relatively small.

Yet Lin Ye, without revealing anything, had thoroughly beaten the three-headed creature. What kind of strength was this?

So, one by one, they became very enthusiastic towards Lin Ye.

Their small group consisted of seventeen people, which could be said to have attracted many talented individuals who qualified.

Unfortunately, Lin Ye was the only one among the top five, otherwise, Lin Ye would have liked to spar with them.

He hadn't felt the limits of his strength in too long.
