99: I've finally found you!

And it was at the moment Lin Yan finished the Fusion of the Half-Step King Rank Martial Skill and unleashed such immense power.

The Observation Center.

The expressions of the four figures changed simultaneously.

How is that possible!

A hint of disbelief flashed in Thor's and Adolf's eyes.

The exclusive trait of Heavenly Extreme Martial Skills—Condensing Potential!

Although they weren't on-site, judging by this aura!

Major Achievement!

The two glanced at each other, both letting out a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Fortunately, their arrangements were sufficient.

Otherwise, with this kid's high-tier eighth-rank cultivation plus a Heavenly Extreme Martial Skill, they would have failed again.

It was just a pity for the hundred Prodigies from both countries, but as long as they could kill that kid, it would all be worth it.

What they didn't know was.

Lin Yan hadn't revealed his meridians since killing the Stick Country team, so in their impression, he still had his eighth-rank, sixth-layer cultivation from that time.

Moreover, let alone a normal person, even someone with the wildest imagination couldn't have guessed that a person with eighth-rank, sixth-layer cultivation in the morning would leap to ninth-rank, third-layer by night.

Bard suddenly looked at the stunned Jiang Mobai and spoke in a low voice.

"Speaker Mobai, you've hidden things quite deeply."

"There's no need to put on this expression in front of me."

Jiang Mobai's lips parted slightly.

He suddenly realized he didn't know what to say at this moment.

Damn, if I say I know about it...

I really did know a lot.

But that was before we set off!

Who the hell knew he'd turn into this freakish state after just one day!

Seeing him silent, Bard clicked his tongue.

"Fine."

"The humility and low-profile nature of your Dragon country is truly carved into your bones."

He glanced again at the rapidly moving figure on the screen.

"No wonder he dares to hunt down this hundred-man team alone."

"There's going to be a good show to watch."

Not just the four in the observation center.

Audiences from all over the Blue Star watching the live stream also noticed this scene.

One second they were arguing fiercely over whether Lin Yan should have left the team alone, and the next second, the screen was filled with gasping emojis.

"Hiss~!"

"Holy crap!"

"A single step creates a crater several meters wide; what kind of power is this?"

"Damn!"

"Has the Flame King been holding back all day?"

"Upstairs, when have you ever seen the Flame King hold back? Doesn't he just one-shot everyone?"

"Uh... that seems to be true."

"My point is, is he even human?!"

"Eighteen! He's only eighteen!!"

...The reactions of the masses were too many to count.

Compared to the bustling Blue Star internet, the remaining teams on the isolated island were seizing the time to hunt exotic beasts in their respective positions.

As for the influence of the night? For their cultivation, it had long since ceased to be an issue.

What they needed to consider was only the teams from other countries that might suddenly appear as they gradually moved toward the Inner Circle.

However.

That was the conventional thinking of previous years.

Because they could already see from the very abnormal rankings that many things were very wrong.

At this time, in the southern Inner Circle.

A hundred-man large team, which could almost be described as a mixture, was moving rapidly toward the Core Area.

"That Lin Yan from the Dragon country is too ruthless."

"Wiping out teams like he's clearing a map; just what is his strength?"

"Definitely high-tier eighth-rank, maybe even ninth-rank."

"Otherwise, the captains wouldn't have chosen to give up so many exotic beasts just to head toward the Core Area."

"According to the venue selection rules of previous Grand Competitions, the exotic beasts present cannot exceed the Heavenly Extreme rank."

"So only the ninth-rank exotic beasts there can completely keep him in check, and only there can we find an opportunity."

"That really is the only way."

"To think that our encirclement team, which was supposed to consist of so many countries, is now down to just our two nations, and we have to rely on this method."

At the very front of the mixed team.

The blond young man from the USA and the cold, elegant woman from the European Union Country conversed in low voices that only the two of them could hear while observing their surroundings.

"Wituo."

"In your opinion, what exactly is Lin Yan's strength?"

"If our guess is correct, given how easily he's clearing the map, even if he's not ninth-rank, he's invincible at the eighth-rank."

A hint of complexity flashed in Lorrain's eyes.

"Invincible at the eighth-rank..."

"No such figure has ever appeared in previous Grand Competitions."

Wituo replied casually.

"So hiding in the Core Area immediately is our most correct choice right now."

"Only there will we have a chance to achieve our goal."

"And didn't the Speaker also say that if an uncontrollable situation arises, head to the Core Area immediately?"

"I think they must have made some arrangements there as well."

Lorrain nodded and said no more.

Behind them, where none of the hundred people could detect, a red figure was moving forward silently at extreme speed.

Lin Yan felt the increasingly obvious lingering aura, and in the depths of his eyes, it was as if a piercing cold wind was howling, carrying endless chill.

"I finally found you..."

He murmured in a low voice, his voice as faint as a flickering candle in the wind, but the killing intent contained within was as surging and turbulent as a tidal wave.

The next moment, he directly gave up on hiding his tracks.

He suddenly raised his right foot and then stomped hard onto the ground.

Bang—!

A world-shaking boom rang out.

The entire earth shook with it.

Lin Yan's body was like a cannonball being fired, racing forward with unparalleled momentum and jaw-dropping speed!

In an instant.

Everyone watching through the live stream stood up in unison, eyes wide and fixed on the three different perspective screens, for fear of missing any detail.

A small red dot charging toward a cluster of light with lightning speed.

A streak of red lightning weaving rapidly almost touching the ground, instantly forming a gully several meters wide.

And many figures who seemed to have sensed some movement and turned around to look behind them.

A single voice rose in everyone's hearts at the same time.

The high-profile Flame King is about to start an unparalleled battle of one against a hundred!

Wituo and Lorrain, who had already turned around, suddenly shouted.

"Disperse!"

It had to be said.

They were indeed worthy of being an allied force of two powers and an elite team that was well-prepared.

The moment their voices fell, the hundred people who were originally gathered together completed the command in an instant.

Not only that.

As a thunderous roar in the night drew closer and closer, a meteor-like streak of light, as if burning with a raging fire, appeared in their field of vision near the ground.

They also completed their battle preparations at the same time.

Lin Yan!

Wituo's and Lorrain's eyes narrowed slightly.

Such speed!

But he actually dares to come alone!

Seeking death!

The two of them disappeared from their spots in one step.

"Attack together!"

Suddenly—

Boom—!

Soaring blood-qi erupted, and the light from the revealed meridians illuminated the night sky.

A hundred figures simultaneously swung their weapons forward.

With the convergence of various Martial Skills, a powerful energy that surpassed eighth-rank invincibility was instantly blasted out.

"Lin Yan!"

"Die!"
