46: My strongest move? I'll flick it away with a single finger!

"contribution points?"

Liu Yan was stunned.

Watching the smile on Lin Yuan's face, an unknown fire instantly flared up inside her.

What did this guy take the Dragon Shield Bureau's internal sparring for?

Grocery shopping at the market?

But to get him out... "Fine!" Liu Yan gritted her teeth, squeezing out a single word, "I'll bet you a thousand contribution points!"

However.

When Lin Yuan heard that number, the smile on his face instantly collapsed.

He looked at Liu Yan with an incredulous expression.

"How much?"

"A thousand?"

"Captain Liu Yan, are you joking with me?"

"A ten-minute bath costs me five thousand contribution points."

"A thousand points..."

He counted on his fingers, calculating seriously, "That's not even enough time for me to go in and wash my feet!"

"You!"

Liu Yan almost couldn't resist attacking him directly.

The insult in his words was even stronger than if he had cursed her directly!

What did he mean, five thousand points for a ten-minute bath?

Whose contribution points were blown in by the wind?!

She worked tirelessly, risking her life to complete a C-rank mission, and the reward was only one or two thousand points.

This scoundrel... he was showing off!

The muscular man and Mo Chen next to them also twitched at the corners of their eyes upon hearing this.

They knew Lin Yuan had caused a stir and received many rewards.

But they never expected it to be so... outrageous!

Su Wanqing silently turned her head, unable to bear watching any longer.

She could already foresee what was about to happen.

"How about this then."

Lin Yuan seemed to have made a huge concession, extending three fingers.

"Three thousand points."

"If I win, you give me three thousand points. If I lose, I give you three thousand points."

"That's fair, isn't it?"

Liu Yan clenched her fists tightly.

She had purchased many rare treasures for the upcoming competition.

These three thousand points were almost all of her current savings!

However, with things already said to this extent, if she backed down, how could she maintain her standing in the team?

Moreover, she refused to believe that she, a C-rank Intermediate elite, would lose to a D-rank!

"Fine! Three thousand it is!" She practically roared.

"I'll see if your mouth is tougher than your actual strength!"

"Ah, now that's more like it."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Three thousand points in hand, delightful.

He flexed his wrist, but his gaze drifted from Liu Yan to Mo Chen and the muscular man behind her.

"However, for the sake of fairness."

"And to save everyone's time."

"How about... all three of you come at once?"

"Lest it gets out that I, a D-rank, bullied you C-ranks."

...The muscular man's mouth fell open, and the dumbbell in his hand clattered to the ground.

Mo Chen's perpetually expressionless face was also filled with 'astonishment'.

And Liu Yan... after her brain had crashed for three seconds... "ARROGANT—!"

A shriek!

She could no longer suppress her rage!

"To deal with an ignorant fellow like you, I alone am enough!"

Before her words finished.

A fierce gust of wind generated beneath Lin Yuan's feet, grabbing him fiercely!

Whoosh!

Lin Yuan was swept up and directly thrown into the center of the training ground!

He was still in mid-air, frantically complaining in his mind.

Damn it!

She attacked just like that?

Without even a "Ready, go"?

Young people nowadays truly have no martial ethics!

As soon as he landed, he hadn't even found his footing.

Liu Yan's figure had already transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping towards him!

"Today, I will let you know what a C-rank is!"

She wanted to defeat this arrogant fellow with the fastest speed and the most crushing method!

Looking at the overwhelming wind blades approaching.

Lin Yuan pouted.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to have some fun with you all."

He shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Since you're in such a hurry to give me money..."

"Then I won't be polite."

As his words fell.

Lin Yuan's figure vanished.

"Zzzzz—"

Liu Yan lost her target and paused.

Where is he?!

"Looking for me?"

A lazy voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Liu Yan's hair stood on end!

She spun around abruptly, bringing forth an even stronger whirlwind of wind blades, slashing towards the source of the sound!

However.

It was empty again!

"Too slow."

The voice came again, from her other side-rear.

Liu Yan panicked, frantically activating her ability, and wind blades exploded around her, forming an indiscriminate attack domain!

"Get out here!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The wind howled, and the airflow cut through the air, emitting a piercing shriek.

But, it was useless.

In the eyes of Su Wanqing and the other two.

The scene in the arena was extremely bizarre.

Liu Yan was like a top, frantically attacking in the center of the field.

And Lin Yuan was like a ghost.

His figure moved leisurely through the gaps of countless wind blades.

Each time, he managed to effortlessly avoid them from an incredible angle.

Lightning Step!

"Impossible!"

Liu Yan's heart sank little by little.

Her speed was top-tier among C-ranks!

Yet, in front of this man, she was like a toddling infant!

She couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes!

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Lin Yuan also seemed to lose patience.

He stopped, just standing there quietly.

Liu Yan saw him stop, and a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes.

This was an opportunity!

She condensed all her power into her fingertips, transforming it into a three-foot-long azure wind blade spear!

"Storm's Pierce!"

This was her most powerful move!

"Lie down for me!"

She roared, throwing the wind spear in her hand with all her might!

The wind spear ripped through the air, heading straight for Lin Yuan's chest!

Lin Yuan raised his right hand and extended his index finger.

A small ball of electric light condensed at his fingertip.

Palm Thunder.

He flicked his finger.

The tiny electric light collided with the terrifying Storm's Pierce.

Boom—!!!

A deafening roar exploded in the training room!

Lightning and wind blades, upon contact, erupted with destructive energy, spreading in all directions!

And that small ball of electric light, after destroying the wind spear, did not diminish in power.

It grazed Liu Yan's cheek and flew past.

"Boom!"

A basin-sized hole was blasted into the alloy wall at the back of the training room.

Liu Yan froze in place.

On her face, a shallow scorch mark stung painfully.

Cold sweat trickled down her temples.

She lost.

Completely defeated.

Just then.

"Roar!"

A furious shout came from the side.

The muscular man, like an iron tower, had bloodshot eyes.

"You dare to hurt her!"

Boom!

Rock armor covered his entire body!

He charged towards Lin Yuan like an out-of-control tank!

At the same time.

Mo Chen, who had been silent, also showed a hint of solemnity on his face.

He saw Shi Lei's impulsiveness and also clearly recognized Lin Yuan's unfathomable strength.

Fighting alone, there was no chance of winning.

The next second, he no longer stood by, moving his figure.

He and Shi Lei simultaneously flanked Lin Yuan from both left and right!
