"Brother Lin, be careful." Yue Buqun and his three companions were instantly horrified. They did not know the extent of Li Lin's strength, but they could tell that Li Lin was younger than them, so his strength probably wasn't that formidable. However, Zhou Baotian ranked ninety-ninth on the Tiger Ranking, with strength among the top hundred of the three thousand new disciples of the Yunyang Sect.

"Has this youth been frightened into stupidity?" The disciples watching around were also puzzled, then shook their heads slightly, waiting for the scene of this youth being trampled.

"Let me teach you a good lesson." Seeing no reaction from Li Lin, Zhou Baotian retracted his long sword, seemingly afraid of accidentally killing the young man in the green robe before him. Killing someone in the Yunyang Sect was no trivial matter, and as he was not a direct disciple, he could not bear this responsibility.

At this moment, Zhou Baotian retracted his long sword, his huge fist clenched tightly, a scorching fire attribute Qi wrapped around his fist like a semi-solidified flame, and finally smashed down hard on the figure in the green robe in front of him. The force of the fist tore through the air, creating a series of sonic booms in the air.

Zhou Baotian's strength, at the fourth level of the Martial Master, was definitely considered good among the new disciples of the Yunyang Sect. To be ranked in the top hundred of the Tiger Ranking, one must have excellent talent. This move showed that Zhou Baotian's ranking of ninety-ninth was not undeserved.

However, for Li Lin at this moment, ignoring Zhou Baotian's strength was easy.

Feeling the sharp sound of Zhou Baotian's attack, Li Lin's expression remained unchanged. His mind focused, and a pale yellow light rapidly spread around his body, instantly enveloping him in a layer of pale yellow scale armor.

In an instant, Zhou Baotian's fiery fist hit hard on Li Lin's chest.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound erupted on Li Lin's chest. The strong and hot energy from the fist pressed down on Li Lin's body, lowering it slightly. Zhou Baotian's face lit up with joy, not expecting the youth to be so easy to deal with, taking his punch directly. This would either kill or severely injure him.

"This youth is too arrogant, but his strength is too weak."

All the disciples of the Yunyang Sect watching around showed a hint of disappointment. They thought there would be a good show, but it ended so quickly.

"It's over," Yue Buqun and his companions also had a sinking expression.

"In front of me, a fourth-level Martial Master is just trash." Li Lin's expression remained indifferent and aloof. Just as everyone was shocked, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and a surge of invisible, fierce Qi burst out. This Qi, unrelated to strength, was purely from Li Lin's inherent sharp aura, as well as the bloodthirsty aura honed in the Misty Mountain Range and the ancient domain.

"How could this be?" Zhou Baotian, who was rejoicing, felt Li Lin's sudden burst of aura and felt his soul trembling in fright.

"Let me show you the power of the fire attribute." At the same time as the coldness passed, Li Lin's right hand shot out like lightning, wearing a white jade silk glove, with flames shooting from his claws, tearing through the space ripples at close range, and a fierce, invisible Qi burst out, landing on Zhou Baotian's shoulder.

"Crack, crack..."

In the blink of an eye, before Zhou Baotian could withdraw his fist from Li Lin's chest, a sharp pain transmitted from his shoulder, followed by the clear sound of his shoulder bones breaking.

"Ah..."

Zhou Baotian screamed miserably as Li Lin's white jade silk claws were already grasping his left shoulder, with five claws directly inserted into his shoulder bone.

"Do you know if I have the right to be arrogant with this strength?" Li Lin snorted coldly, shook his arm, and forcefully flung Zhou Baotian's body into the air.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Crack, crack..."

Along with the sound of bones breaking, Zhou Baotian's body heavily fell ten meters away, spewing a mouthful of blood mist. On his shoulder, a palm-sized piece of flesh was missing, revealing a broken shoulder bone. This piece of bone was now in Li Lin's hand, along with a piece of flesh, blood dripping down from Li Lin's white jade silk claws onto the ground.

"Ah..."

A miserable scream came from Zhou Baotian's mouth, the extreme pain reaching its limit.

"And you bunch of trash, I'll teach you all a lesson today." A coldness flashed in Li Lin's eyes, looking towards the thirteen youths who came with Zhou Baotian. He threw the broken flesh on the ground, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

"Snap, snap, snap..."

The space was silent, only the deep sound of sonic booms echoing, shaking people's hearts.

"Let's go, hurry."

The thirteen youths who came with Zhou Baotian instantly came to their senses and shouted loudly, their faces pale, and their expressions horrified.

But it was already too late. With their strength, how could they escape from Li Lin's hands? Amidst the surge of violent Qi, the ferocious fire attribute Qi raged, bringing up a spray of blood.

The screams, the sound of sonic booms, had completely merged together, and this time was very short, just a few blinks of an eye. The ghostly figure in the green robe reappeared in front of everyone, with countless broken flesh dripping with blood on his claws.

"Bang, bang..."

This was not the sound of sonic booms but the heartbeats of the hundred people around. The entire space was so oppressive that even the heartbeat could be heard. At this moment, including Zhou Baotian, fourteen people were screaming continuously, a scene of bloody carnage. Each person, whether on the shoulder, back, arm, or leg, was missing a palm-sized piece of flesh. This scene was absolutely bloody.

"Do you know if my strength can be arrogant now?" Li Lin stepped forward slowly, stepping on Zhou Baotian's head, spreading a murderous aura, and coldly said: "Stay away from courtyard 806 in the future, otherwise, next time I won't mind turning you into a cripple, or a dead person."

"Ah..."

Zhou Baotian could only scream miserably, looking at Li Lin, his expression had turned from initial fury to absolute terror. The youth before him was a grim reaper, someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Let's go, brothers, accompany me to see the Tiger Ranking." After putting away the white jade silk gloves and the Qingling armor, Li Lin's murderous aura subsided, and he returned to his harmless smile, arriving next to the stunned Yue Buqun and his companions.

"Brother Lin, are you going to challenge the Tiger Ranking?" Yue Buqun came back to his senses and looked at Li Lin.

"Nonsense, Brother Lin knocked down Zhou Baotian with one move, how could he not challenge the Tiger Ranking ?" Lai Yuejing glared at Yue Buqun before speaking.

"Zhou Baotian, your grandmother's bear, the debt we owed you is now written off. If you dare to provoke us again, we'll make you regret it." Yang Wei rushed to Zhou Baotian on the ground and kicked him hard. They had been bullied a lot in the past, and now they were finally getting some payback.

"Let's go, to challenge the Tiger Ranking." Li Lin smiled lightly. Although he had defeated Zhou Baotian, who was ranked ninety-ninth on the Tiger Ranking, since it was not in the martial arts arena, he could not enter the Tiger Ranking.

As the four left, only Zhou Baotian and the other fourteen screaming disciples and the hundreds of onlookers remained. The hundreds of onlookers, watching Li Lin's back, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Who is this person? His strength is so formidable, and he's so ruthless."

"I heard he just arrived yesterday, and Elder Bai Mei personally went to receive him. He must have a significant background."

"Such strong strength. He defeated a fourth-level Martial Master in one move and took a fourth-level Martial Master's attack without any harm to himself. It's terrifying."

"They're going to challenge the Tiger Ranking, let's go see."

Many disciples, already curious, followed behind Li Lin and his companions.

"What happened here? Who did this?" Shortly after Li Lin and his party left, three figures arrived.

"Greetings to Elder Bai, greetings to the two stewards." A few scattered disciples who hadn't left yet saw the three arrivals and immediately saluted. The arrivals were Elder Bai Mei and two stewards of the Yunyang Sect.

Looking at the dozen or so bloodied disciples on the ground, Elder Bai Mei and the two stewards frowned. They knew Zhou Baotian's strength, as well as that of these dozen or so disciples. Judging from the wounds, they must have been injured by the same person.

"What happened just now? Who did this?" One of the stewards asked the surrounding few disciples.

"Steward, it was a disciple named Li Lin who did it, said to be the person Elder Bai Mei brought in yesterday." A purple-robed disciple glanced at Elder Bai Mei's expression before slowly speaking.

"Was it Li Lin who acted alone?" Elder Bai Mei's expression darkened as he immediately asked the purple-robed disciple.

"Yes, Li Lin defeated Zhou Baotian with just one move, and then in a few blinks of an eye, he laid everyone out. Li Lin's strength is too terrifying." The purple-robed disciple said, still immersed in the shock of the moment.

"What?!" The two stewards were dumbfounded, such strength was too fearsome.

"Where is Li Lin?" At this moment, Elder Bai Mei's expression changed, looking at the dozen or so severely injured, listless disciples. To defeat a dozen people so easily, this strength, at least, had to be at the seventh level of the Martial Master. Could it be that Li Lin has reached the seventh level of the Martial Master?
