At this moment, space could no longer withstand this massive force. The huge energy body exploded, and the terrifying energy dispersed violently, turning into an incredibly fierce momentum. Instantly, it swept out like a hurricane, cracking the plaza, flipping countless stone slabs into the sky as rubble, enveloping the entire plaza with fierce momentum. The loud noise was deafening, echoing across the sky, like thunder.

A tremendous force dispersed and expanded, turning into a storm that swept across the plaza. At the center of this mighty force, fifteen martial artists were suddenly sent flying, each coughing up blood, their faces turning instantly pale, and they heavily fell hundreds of meters away.

"Bang bang…"

At this moment, Dai Chang'an, Dai Changyun, and four others around felt this tremendous force explode and tried to escape immediately, but they were also shaken by the ripple's remaining force. All four of them let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, and even their breaths became somewhat disordered.

Obviously, the explosion of the Three Systems and Five Elements Formation not only sent them flying but also directly caused considerable damage to their bodies, especially the one who last entered the top five, a quadruple-level martial artist, whose injuries were undoubtedly the most severe.

At the head of the group, the fierce momentum also swept over. Dai Daozi's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, with a flick of his sleeves, an invisible momentum spread out, colliding fiercely with the incoming momentum, and both forces dissipated in the air ahead.

Dai Daozi's move was extremely beautiful, just right to disperse the incoming energy without causing any additional fluctuations. This required the incoming force to be exactly the same size, otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such a silent effect. This control and mastery of force had to reach a very delicate level, which also showed Dai Daozi's strength.

When everything around disappeared, a figure in a green robe appeared on the plaza. Amidst the dust and smoke in the sky, not a single corner of the young man's clothes was stirred. A lazy smile appeared on the young man's lips, and an invisible murderous aura spread around him.

At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on Li Lin. No one expected that among the fifteen fifth-level martial artists forming the Three Systems and Five Elements Formation, it was Li Lin who broke through with overwhelming strength. Those with slightly lower cultivation levels were almost terrified by Li Lin. The combination of fifteen fifth-level martial artists and the formation was utterly defeated by this young man, who was only a fourth-level martial artist in terms of cultivation strength. What a shocking turn of events.

"Is this real?" Elders and sect leaders from various sects were incredulous at this moment. Breaking through the formation and directly destroying the Ghost Martial Sect's Three Systems and Five Elements Formation, claiming it was easily defeated, such strength, such arrogant attitude, astonished everyone.

"Haha, little liar… Li Lin, I knew you would win. Missy here has her eyes on you," Lv Xiaoling giggled, then without caring about the expressions of the people around, she rushed up to the plaza to Li Lin's side and said, very satisfied.

"Good lad, you made me break out in a cold sweat," Elder Liu muttered.

"Liu Yiheng, don't you think this kid also knows formations?" Elder Wang frowned and then said.

"My things can be returned to me now," Li Lin looked at Lv Xiaoling and said.

Breaking through the formation, Li Lin himself was not surprised. The Three Systems and Five Elements Formation had many flaws. If not for these flaws, it would have been almost impossible for him to break through, let alone take the opportunity to absorb the power of attributes and make a breakthrough. All this was because the Ghost Martial Sect's Three Systems and Five Elements Formation had many flaws.

And the final forced breakthrough was also due to external forces. The violent force generated by the gathering of attribute energy, along with his own strength, made it possible to forcefully break through. Otherwise, truly facing fifteen opponents, Li Lin did not say it was impossible, but without going all out, it definitely would not work.

Facing fifteen fifth-level martial artists, Li Lin would not fear even if he faced them directly. His trump card was enough to kill a martial soul, let alone fifteen fifth-level martial artists. But speaking of which, the Three Systems and Five Elements Formation was indeed powerful. If it weren't for the cheap master, Holy Hand Spirit Sovereign's inheritance, breaking through and making a breakthrough in the formation would have been a dream.

At this moment, feeling his late-stage peak strength of a fifth-level martial artist, Li Lin was quite satisfied. He was about to break through, but he temporarily stopped and suppressed the breakthrough, keeping his breath at the late stage of a fifth-level martial artist, only a step away from breaking through to a sixth-level martial artist. This time, his cultivation level had directly broken through one and a half levels from the mid-stage of a fourth-level martial artist to the late stage of a fifth-level martial artist.

Although it was one and a half levels of cultivation level, in terms of strength, it was undoubtedly several times stronger. To get such benefits in the Ghost Martial Sect was quite unexpected for Li Lin.

"What am I returning to you?" At this time, Lv Xiaoling smiled at Li Lin.

"Weren't you saying whoever wins gets the spatial bag?" Li Lin managed a smile, now seeing that he couldn't afford to offend this Missy.

"Your smile is uglier than crying," Lv Xiaoling glanced at Li Lin and said, "I said whoever wins, I would give an additional treasure worth seven to eight million gold coins. I didn't say it was your spatial bag."

"Then why did you bring out my spatial bag?" Li Lin immediately said.

"Who stipulated that holding your spatial bag meant it was about your spatial bag?" Lv Xiaoling looked at Li Lin and said, "Think about it, did I specify that what I was going to bring out was your spatial bag?"

Li Lin was stunned, immediately feeling like a deflated balloon. Lv Xiaoling's original words seemed not to specify that it was his spatial bag she was bringing out, just shaking his spatial bag in her hand. But Li Lin was sure it wasn't a misunderstanding on his part, but rather that he had been played by Lv Xiaoling.

"This doesn't count, we have to do it again. We weren't in the formation, Li Lin breaking the formation doesn't count as a victory."

At this time, the plaza was already full of pits and bumps. Repairing it would probably take a lot of effort. In a corner of the plaza, Dai Chang'an and Dai Changyun, who were sent flying, came back to the center of the plaza and squeezed next to Lv Xiaoling.

"Cousin, this doesn't count. I could have won. Let's compete again," Dai Chang'an glared at Li Lin with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"It doesn't count."

The people at the head frowned slightly. Everyone could see that if this didn't count, it would depend on whether the Ghost Martial Sect could be shameless enough to go further.

Li Lin did not pay attention to them at this moment, "You two step back." Dai Daozi looked at Li Lin, showing a slight smile, and then said, "Young brother, good strength. A dual-system martial artist, breaking through in the formation and directly breaking the formation, truly extraordinary. This time, the Ghost Martial Sect's sect conference, naturally, the young brother wins, the first place is yours."

"Young man, sorry for the offense, I couldn't hold back and had to go all out, please forgive me, Sect Master Dai," Li Lin bowed slightly, his expression unchanged as he spoke, guessing in his heart that the people of the Ghost Martial Sect probably wished they could kill him now, if it weren't for other considerations.

"Where, this is naturally a matter of life and death, not going all out, naturally it's impossible to test the true strength," Dai Daozi's expression remained unchanged, seemingly not caring.

"Dad, this doesn't count, we want to..." Dai Chang'an once again protested.

"Shut up, with your own strength not enough, you still dare to lose face," Dai Daozi glared at his son. Compared to Li Lin, his son was several years older, but the survival of the fittest was immediately clear. Previously, he thought his son's talent and strength were also quite good among the younger generation. Now, compared to Li Lin, it suddenly felt insufficient, and even in terms of demeanor, temperament, and character, it was much inferior, suddenly feeling a bit like failing to meet expectations.

Reprimanded sternly by his father, Dai Chang'an dared not say anything more, just glared fiercely at Li Lin, then reluctantly stepped back.

"Young brother, since you won this time, according to the rules, here is a scroll of Fire System Yellow-Level Beginner Martial Technique, a first-grade beginner pill, and a long sword refined by a Spirit Soul Artisan. Now, it's yours," Dai Daozi handed a storage bag to Li Lin.

"Thank you, Sect Master Dai," Li Lin checked it and then happily put it away. Although it was from the Ghost Martial Sect, he still didn't trust them. It's better to check the goods face to face before saying anything. It's like getting counterfeit money from the bank in the previous life. Once you leave, the bank won't acknowledge it. The issue of big stores bullying customers is not unheard of.

"Xiaoling, don't you also have something extra to reward?" Dai Daozi said to Lv Xiaoling.

"Right." Lv Xiaoling smiled slightly, then took out a jade slip and said to Li Lin, "This is what I promised you, a scroll of Yellow-Level High-Rank Spirit Technique called Ethereal Phantom Seal, it's for you."

"Ethereal Phantom Seal, Yellow-Level High-Rank Spirit Technique."

Hearing these words, everyone suddenly gasped in shock, more surprised than Li Lin facing fifteen opponents alone, even Dai Daozi nearby was stunned with shock.

A Yellow-Level High-Rank Spirit Technique, where is it only worth seven to eight million gold coins? The value of a Yellow-Level Beginner Martial Technique is already over a million, but that's just the price. In reality, it might be impossible to buy.

And for a Yellow-Level Intermediate Martial Technique, if the price has to be measured in gold coins, it's already over ten million. Selling for twenty to thirty million is normal. At this level of treasure, it's usually exchanged for goods, and at a certain level of martial artists, no one lacks gold coins. What they lack are treasures, pills, and martial techniques.
