"A dual-system martial artist with a seven-layer martial spirit, I need to use my full strength now." A faint coldness began to tremble in Li Lin's eyes.

"You have some skills, but it's still not enough. Now, I will let you know what the power of the twentieth rank on the Dragon List is like." Li DaJiang's face sank, and he shook his long spear on the ground, causing the ground around the spear tip to instantly crack and spread out with fissures.

As the long spear danced, a shocking hot breath burst forth, and a piece of crimson light appeared on the golden long spear, drawing arcs with profound trajectories and exploding with terrifying hot energy.

"The Fire Cloud Spear, Li DaJiang is actually going to use the Fire Cloud Spear."

"The Fire Cloud Spear is a high-ranking martial technique of the Yellow class, and Li DaJiang has already mastered it thoroughly."

"Chi!"

In a corner among the surrounding crowd, warriors like Qu DaoJue and Ghost Hand Du ZiChun also showed a gleam in their eyes.

"Going all out?" Li Lin frowned, and an invisible murderous aura began to spread. Let's end this sooner then.

In the blink of an eye, Li DaJiang's long spear went from slow to rapid movement, leaving behind a trail of hot crimson spear afterimages with each motion.

"Elder Protector, Li DaJiang is using the Fire Cloud Spear. Normally, even martial artists with an eight-layer martial spirit would struggle to contend. Should we..." At the head of the group, a protector frowned slightly and whispered to the cloaked elder.

"For some reason, I'm more worried about Li DaJiang. Try to feel the aura emanating from Li Lin," the Great Protector said lightly.

The three protectors focused their attention on Li Lin, who hadn't made any move, and their expressions changed instantly, saying, "Such a terrifying murderous aura."

"No wonder the sect master said his aura is overwhelming. If this person could be used by our Yunyang Sect, in twenty years, our Yunyang Sect would see another powerhouse emerge," the Great Protector said lightly.

"Isn't Li Lin already a disciple of our Yunyang Sect?" The three protectors were puzzled.

The Great Protector smiled slightly, saying nothing but focusing intently on the scene.

Li Lin, observing Li DaJiang's martial technique, could also feel the terrifying energy contained in the spear lights above, and the true qi around his body had already started surging.

"The twentieth rank on the Dragon List, let me try." As soon as Li Lin's words fell, a flash of true qi under his feet, and his figure rushed forward, almost bringing up a series of low-energy sonic booms.

How could Li Lin give his opponent the time to gather martial technique, his figure, like lightning, leveraging the momentum to burst towards Li DaJiang. The Qing Ling armor shone brightly, and in his hands, wind blades began to gather, barely visible to the naked eye.

Watching Li Lin pounce, Li DaJiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly. The movement of his long spear didn't stop, and with a flash of true qi under his foot, he stomped on the ground to leap up, simultaneously retreating rapidly by leveraging the force.

"Wind Rolls the Remnant Clouds."

At this moment, a massive surge of true qi burst forth from Li Lin's hands, and the wind energy in the surrounding space instantly converged, creating a violently spinning air current, like a tornado storm, and several cracks opened up on the plaza.

A huge tornado formed, howling and bursting towards Li DaJiang.

"I didn't expect Li Lin to have mastered 'Wind Rolls the Remnant Clouds' so quickly, and to have driven it to such a terrifying extent. I've been practicing for three years, and yet I don't have half of his power."

"The power is indeed not weak, but I'm afraid it's hard to contend with Li DaJiang's Fire Cloud Spear."

Stolen novel; please report.

At this moment, a cold shout came from the air, "Fire Cloud Spear."

As the words fell, Li DaJiang had already condensed the Fire Cloud Spear, pushing his handprint, and instantly, a huge fire cloud pressed down from above, with countless spear afterimages drawn by the long spear in his hand, now condensing into a massive space of thousands of meters, radiating intense heat, like a terrifying fire cloud.

With a flash of true qi under his feet, Li DaJiang's cold aura burst forth, his body shooting up, pushing the handprint, and the terrifying fire cloud in the sky immediately shot towards Li Lin.

This massive fire cloud tore through the space, as if ripping space apart, the violent aura pressing down, distorting the entire space, with cracks appearing like they were materialized, engulfing the entire plaza in intense heat.

"What a strong power."

Everyone was now worried for Li Lin, clearly seeing that although both 'Wind Rolls the Remnant Clouds' and 'Fire Cloud Spear' were high-ranking Yellow class martial techniques, Li DaJiang's Fire Cloud Spear, compared to Li Lin's technique, was significantly more powerful. This was the difference in cultivation levels; higher strength meant more powerful execution of the same martial technique.

"Be careful..." Li WuShuang's eyes were filled with worry, her heart lifted to her throat.

Only Li ShaoHu and Zhao QingTian had a faint sneer in their eyes.

As everyone watched in astonishment, the two massive forces collided, the fire cloud pressing down the space, the storm spreading and exploding, with a terrifying energy explosion resounding through the arena...

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Explosions shocked the sky, energy surged, and the sudden release of massive energy left the nearly three thousand disciples with faces full of astonishment, the dazzling light making it impossible for people to look directly.

Some slightly stronger disciples finally made out the massive terrifying fire cloud and the huge tornado storm fiercely colliding, the tornado storm resisting only for a moment before being torn apart.

In that instant, amidst the violent energy, Li Lin's face darkened, and he rapidly executed hand seals, setting up an Earth Gang Shield in front of him again.

The entire plaza was engulfed in violent energy, the ground cracked, countless fissures spreading in the violent energy, stones flying up into the sky, the space filled with lingering hot flames, such terrifying power made everyone on the scene gasp in cold air.

Such terrifying energy revealed Li DaJiang's figure to everyone's sight, his face pale, seemingly exhausted from that strike, using his full strength to disable Li Lin, giving no chance to the opponent.

"Li Lin is in a bad situation."

"Li DaJiang ranks twentieth on the Dragon List, and Li Lin is still far behind. How could he contend with Li DaJiang? This is the difference in strength."

"Li Lin's strength is indeed not bad, but he's too arrogant, challenging Li DaJiang. This is the lesson of arrogance."

At this moment, everyone sighed slightly, in the violent hot flame wind, the outcome for Li Lin was predictable, likely not dead but severely injured.

The expressions of the four protectors at the head also sank slightly, their gazes nervously watching the violent hot energy, as if there was a figure slowly moving.

The violent energy gradually dissipated, and almost everyone thought Li Lin had lost, thoroughly defeated, almost impossible to withstand Li DaJiang's full strike, a strike that even a general eight-layer martial spirit could not catch.

Li WuShuang's face was also pale, watching the violent hot energy, her body trembling and staggering back a step.

However, as the violent hot energy slowly dissipated, a hazy yellow light emerged, and a figure slowly appeared, that resolute face still hanging a slight smile.

"My God, he's fine, Li Lin is actually fine."

"His body is protected by defensive martial technique, this defense is too terrifying."

"Could it be a Profound level defensive martial technique?"

Seeing the figure appearing at this moment, everyone couldn't help but gasp, under the sweep of that violent energy, Li Lin was actually unharmed. If it were them caught in it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Lin emerged calmly, his body enveloped under the scale space, with a shake of true qi, the scales armor shook off the lingering energy, dissipating it into nothingness.

Although Li Lin's blood energy was surging and his true qi somewhat shaken, the recent energy had not caused substantial harm to him. After breaking through to the second layer of martial spirit, the defense of the Qing Ling armor became even more terrifying. Coupled with the emergency activation of the Earth Gang Shield and his robust body, these three layers of defense, as Li Lin had originally imagined, his cultivation at the second layer of martial spirit, combined with these three layers of defense, was enough to withstand a seven-layer martial spirit. Even facing an eight-layer martial spirit, he need not be too concerned.

"He's fine..."

At this moment, seeing Li Lin's figure, Li DaJiang, Zhao QingTian, Li ShaoHu, and others were immediately surprised.

Among the crowd, Qu DaoJue also showed a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Rank twenty on the Dragon List, a seven-layer dual-system martial spirit, turns out to be nothing more." Li Lin looked at Li DaJiang with indifference, two whirlwinds trembling under his feet, and as his words fell, his figure had already disappeared from the spot, his speed terrifyingly fast.

"Fleeting Shadows." Fei YingLingFeng's face changed at this moment.

"This kid actually mastered 'Fleeting Shadows'." The Great Protector was immediately surprised, knowing the difficulty of mastering 'Fleeting Shadows'. Not every elder in the sect could succeed in mastering it, although 'Fleeting Shadows' is only a Profound level low-rank body technique, it is extremely special and thus very difficult to master.
