193: Big melon!

Lin Yan?!

Everyone in the hall jerked their heads around.

"Heh..." Hong Liangzhe stood up and walked slowly toward the exit. "This suits me just fine."

Come!

Let me see what kind of reliance you have after reaching the Venerable Rank to dare charge straight in like this... *Ding!*

The elevator doors opened.

Several Martial Arts Company personnel were about to force their way forward.

"You lot—"

Bang!

They were instantly sent flying by the Flame Guards.

The elevator doors closed and continued to ascend.

Standing at the very front, Lin Yan's expression remained calm and unruffled from start to finish.

His thoughts were very simple.

First, throw that guy named Hong Liangzhe out, then perform a gentle armed mediation between the Military Alliance and the Supreme Academy.

This was the most honest inner monologue of the Human Race's only Supreme Rank Prodigy who had been to the Ancestral Court and experienced the grand stages of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

He was not combative by nature; he only liked resolving conflicts.

Therefore, as the head of the Prodigies...

As long as he was present, all Prodigies must submit!

This was also the main reason Lin Yan hadn't directly forced Donggong Li to take him to the Imperial Pass; everything must have a beginning and an end.

He was a man of principle.

That was what he thought.

Zhu Ling and the others felt differently.

What's the situation?

Why are we fighting our way up all the way?

Only Sang Qian became increasingly certain of the suspicion in her heart.

And while their hearts were trembling with shock...

*Ding!*

They reached the top floor.

Lin Yan's calm eyes suddenly turned sharp, locking onto the front of the crowd at the end of the wide corridor like a bolt of lightning.

Without hesitation, he took the first step out of the elevator. His figure moved like a ghost, appearing dozens of meters away from Hong Liangzhe and the others in the blink of an eye, as if he had teleported.

"Come!"

As he let out this low shout, Lin Yan released an unparalleled pressure, as if the very world itself would tremble before it.

Hong Liangzhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was secretly startled.

What incredible speed!!

As a Prodigy with a clear goal, he did not retreat or hesitate in the slightest.

"Come!"

He also gave a loud shout and took a sudden step forward.

In an instant, a cold light flashed as the spirit weapon battle saber in his hand appeared like a falling star.

Rumble—!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a powerful Aura capable of making the entire Central Star tremble wildly erupted suddenly.

Crash!

All the glass in the entire building was shattered into dust by this terrifying pressure, turning into countless crystalline shards that scattered across the floor.

At the same time...

The various power systems used to protect the planet and the city lit up with piercing red lights, and sharp alarms resounded through the sky.

Who is it?!

At this moment, the entire Central Star fell into a state of panic.

Whether it was Mr. Xu and Miss Liu from the Military Alliance and Supreme Academy...

Or the Venerable Rank Martial Artists on the planet, as well as Yan Sheng in the Duke Yan's Estate, all of them jerked their heads up at the same time.

The Martial Arts Company!

Invincible at the Venerable Rank!

Hong Liangzhe?

He's already arrived?

Just then...

Bang!

A dull, massive sound that echoed across the entire planet suddenly exploded, like a heavy bomb going off.

Immediately after...

The originally overwhelming Aura vanished instantly, and the entire planet returned to its usual tranquility.

Everyone's expressions froze.

Is the fight over?

Is it already finished?

Back on the top floor of the Martial Arts Company...

Maintaining his forward-slashing posture, Hong Liangzhe's eyes trembled violently, his heart filled with disbelief.

How is this possible!

His inner thoughts were shared by Wei Xiangyang and the others behind him, who all wore expressions of incredulity.

This!!!

In particular, the few Prodigies who had once followed Lin Yan on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield were flushed with excitement, nearly defecting on the spot to shout the words "Venerable Yan is invincible!"

Lin Yan stood with his left hand behind his back. With a light lift of his right hand, two fingers firmly clamped onto the battle saber that had been slashing down at him.

"Do you realize the gap now?"

His faint voice echoed softly.

"You!" Hong Liangzhe suddenly looked up with bloodshot eyes.

Lin Yan's fingers suddenly exerted force.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out.

The battle saber was instantly snapped.

Another unquestionable voice reached Hong Liangzhe's ears.

"Go back!"

Bang!

Lin Yan swung his leg and kicked him in the waist.

Everyone watched as a figure, like a cannonball, instantly vanished from the wide corridor and flew out through the shattered glass window.

At the entrance of the Martial Arts Company...

Thud!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled the many guards who were already at a loss.

It also caused the countless gazes looking over from all directions to freeze slightly.

This is?!

On the high floors of two other buildings...

Mr. Xu and Miss Liu's eyes narrowed.

Hong Liangzhe!

He was... struck out of the building in a single blow?

Who was it?!

The same name appeared in both of their minds simultaneously.

Lin Yan?

The moment that thought crossed their minds...

As if sensing something, they instantly looked up toward the top floor of the Martial Arts Company building.

There...

A Youth in Black walked slowly to the edge of the broken floor-to-ceiling glass and looked indifferently in their direction.

"Lin Yan!"

The voices of Pei Xingwen and Cao Ya came from behind Mr. Xu and Miss Liu at the same time.

It really is him!

The expressions of the two became increasingly solemn.

Crushing Hong Liangzhe in one blow...

This Lin Yan's strength... Venerable King! It must be!

Their judgment from just a second ago was ruthlessly shattered.

Unexpected! Inconceivable!

How is this possible!

He just came out of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield not long ago, and he already has the combat power of a Venerable King!!

While their thoughts were in a jumble...

The two of them narrowed their eyes again.

Because they saw...

Lin Yan, standing by the French window, slowly lifted his foot and stepped into the air outside the Martial Arts Company building.

In an instant...

Countless gazes that were already looking this way immediately focused on this youth who had suddenly appeared.

Who is this?

The figure that just flew out—was he the one who hit him?

In the Duke Yan's Estate...

Recognizing Lin Yan instantly, Yan Sheng's expression was furious as he stood up.

"That little brat—"

Fu Ying appeared before him like a ghost and spoke coldly.

"Sit down!"

"You...!" Yan Sheng's eyes were filled with shock and anger.

He sat back down obediently, his face full of resentment.

Fine, fine, fine!

high-grade Emperor Rank!

Martial Arts Company, you're really bullying people like this, aren't you?

Everything happened in the same instant.

Lin Yan, standing in mid-air, slightly raised his arm and elegantly and calmly extended a long, powerful finger, pointing from afar toward the buildings of the Military Alliance and the Supreme Academy.

A voice as calm as water came from his mouth. Though not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"You two, come at me together."

It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Whoosh—!

Everyone immediately looked in the direction his finger was pointing.

The movement was so uniform and the gazes so synchronized that they were comparable to a mighty army receiving orders from an invincible general.

This was a blatant provocation!

And it involved the five great powers of the starry sky!

Gossip! Juicy gossip!

Hong Liangzhe, slowly rising from the ground, looked up and watched this scene in silence.

He didn't have much physical damage; what was wounded was his proud heart.

A crushing defeat, a complete and utter crushing defeat.

Furthermore...

This guy's current behavior... He gave a soft sigh in his heart.

The man simply didn't take any of them seriously at all.
