158: boring

He's truly arrogant.

Wei Xiangyang's eyes flickered.

He gained a deeper understanding of this Martial Arts Company Domain-level Prodigy.

Was he holding back slightly when facing the three of them just now?

"Hmph!"

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya simultaneously snorted coldly.

Doesn't like using authority to suppress others?

That's even better!

In a Prodigy duel, why would we fear a mere Fifth Rank Early Stage like you?

"Then let us see what is so special about you, the Martial Arts Company's newly promoted Domain Prodigy!"

The two of them simultaneously stepped forward a few paces.

Then, as if they suddenly thought of something, they glanced at each other, their brows furrowing.

"I'll go first!"

What?

A Domain-level Prodigy?!

Shen Wenshi, who had just been extremely cautious, had a slight change of expression.

This Martial Arts Company King Rank Star Patrol Envoy is actually Domain Level!

No wonder he has such a powerful Guard Team!

He suddenly regretted the decision to come here together to cause trouble.

Or rather.

Shen Wenshi glanced at Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya, who were still refusing to back down.

He had no retreat... Naturally, everyone in the banquet hall who understood the weight of the words “Domain Level” was equally shocked.

They all watched the Youth in Black slowly speaking, their eyes filled with shock.

"Did you not understand what I said?"

Lin Yan's right leg, which was stepping on Yan Nan's head, exerted slight force, causing a pig-slaughtering scream.

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya turned their heads simultaneously.

A ripple appeared on the Youth's tight black suit.

The winding Black Dragon pattern flowing around his collar seemed to activate, sweeping across his entire body, instantly forming the majestic heavenly emperor armor battle form.

Cao Xiujie and Shu Xia's hearts trembled, instantly recalling a very unpleasant memory.

The four people including Wei Xiangyang narrowed their eyes slightly.

Did he hold back just now?

*Clang—!*

The heavenly emperor halberd appeared as Lin Yan raised his arm, pointing forward.

"I said, all of you come together."

*Boom—!*

Black Flames surrounded him, and his short hair stood up and danced.

His pupils turned white, and Immortal Mist drifted from the corners of his eyes.

*Crackle—!*

All the windows shattered completely.

The entire Central City of Fuyuan Star was covered in dark clouds.

This Lin Yan!!

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya felt their Ninth Rank Middle Stage cultivation instantly suppressed to Eighth Rank Early Stage, and their expressions changed drastically.

And also!

What the hell is Fifth Rank Early Stage!

This is clearly Seventh Rank Middle Stage!!

"Brother Pei! Brother Pei!!"

Yan Nan, being fiercely ground by the materialized combat boot, screamed in terror.

What kind of monster is this!!

He can't breathe!

"Fight!!"

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya roared fiercely.

We must strike!

We must!

We can't worry about it anymore!

Otherwise, in a few more seconds, we'll be suppressed to the point of losing all will to fight!

The two rushed forward a few steps, their blades and swords clashing.

Exploding saber light and sword radiance enveloped everyone's vision.

Facing the two violent attacks.

Lin Yan stood motionless, splitting the air with his halberd in a single arm.

Peerless Halberd: Mountain Splitting Strike

*Boom—!*

A massive sound rang out.

The entire building's defensive power was activated to the extreme, flashing wildly with flowing light.

"Ah!"

Screams erupted everywhere.

Countless figures were instantly sent flying.

"Pfft!"

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya vomited blood and flew backward.

*Rumble—!*

People across the entire city focused their attention on the wildly shaking Martial Arts Company building.

A dazzling white light burst from the top of the tall building, accompanied by intense blast waves sweeping out in all directions.

Surrounding buildings shattered one after another, and debris flew everywhere.

The entire building began to shake violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Holy crap!"

Everyone scrambled away, covering their heads, their expressions horrified.

"Has a Venerable Rank Star Shaking Martial Artist struck without restraint?"

"Insane! Insane!"

"Even the defensive forces of the Five Great Powers' garrisons can't hold up!"

As the entire city descended into chaos, the scene returned to the ruined 89th floor of the Martial Arts Company.

"D-d-d-d-d..."

Yan Nan, still pinned to the ground with his head stomped on, had chattering teeth.

"Your Highness!"

Many Guard Team members rushed in surprise and anger toward their respective masters who had been sent flying.

Shen Wenshi, standing rooted to the spot, watched the Youth, who had reverted to wearing his gold-trimmed black suit, with shocked eyes.

He had been to the Eighth Galaxy and met Mr. Xu and Miss Liu.

But he had never seen them strike so recklessly.

So were they this strong when they were at the King Rank?

Seventh Rank Middle Stage cultivation, nearing Venerable Rank combat power?

Lin Yan's Martial Skill level is clearly only Star Attraction Great Achievement!

The eyes of the four people, including Wei Xiangyang, who had been forced back countless steps, trembled.

He really was holding back!

A King Conferment at Seventh Rank Middle Stage cultivation?!

How is this possible!

Fu Ying's eyes were filled with admiration.

Just one step away, just one step away from King Conferment!

How long has it been since His Highness became a Star Patrol Envoy?

Two months? Three months?

Is he about to achieve King Conferment already?!

"Cough... pfft..."

Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya coughed up blood incessantly.

The two struggled to focus their blurry vision on the Youth in Black, their hearts filled with immense terror.

How is this possible!!

What kind of Taboo Figure has the Martial Arts Company produced?!

He is terrifying, exponentially more so than His Highness was at the King Rank!

"I-mme-diately... inform... Your Highness..."

The two spoke weakly before completely fainting in the arms of their respective guards.

"Uninteresting."

Lin Yan spoke indifferently.

He looked at Cao Xiujie and Shu Xia—who previously required targeted attacks to be sent flying, but were now thrown back vomiting blood just by the residual shockwaves—disregarding their fearful gazes.

*Bang—!*

He kicked Yan Nan on the head.

"Catch this trash."

"And then, scram!"

As he spoke, a pair of indifferent eyes swept over Shen Wenshi, whose expression kept changing.

"The exchange meeting is over."

"Tianqi Imperial Court, immediately pay the building repair costs."

Shen Wenshi instinctively tried to say something.

A hundred indifferent gazes focused on him, and a powerful pressure capable of crushing him instantly swept over him.

His throat bobbed, and he spoke one word from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes."

He then immediately left, his face filled with shame and indignation.

Seeing this, all the dignitaries who had gotten up disregarded their aching bodies and immediately scurried up to Lin Yan to nervously bid farewell.

In the blink of an eye.

The banquet hall fell silent.

Wei Xiangyang glanced at the numerous bewildered internal staff and waved his hand.

He was just about to lead Wen Lan and the other two toward Lin Yan.

"We're going back."

Lin Yan ignored the three of them, said a word to Fu Ying, and walked toward the elevator by himself.

"Yes."

Fu Ying immediately led the Guard Team to follow.

"You..." Wen Lan was about to speak.

Wei Xiangyang shook his head at her. "Don't say anything."

He watched the many figures gradually disappearing from sight.

"Let's wait for Your Highness to arrive."

"For an existence like him, no one at the same Realm is his opponent."

The three fell into a slight silence.

"Although His Highness can easily suppress him."

"But that would clearly count as bullying across Realms."

"His Guard Team is so strong; they definitely won't stand by and watch."

Wei Xiangyang sighed softly.

"That is the trouble."

"As long as he doesn't go looking for Venerable Ranks before his own Breakthrough to Venerable Rank, and sticks to the Prodigy duel routine."

"Then no one can casually hold him down."
