I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

The black spear in Lu Jun's hand flew out.

It did several somersaults in the air.

With a loud thud, it landed on the edge of the platform, rolled a few times, and came to a stop.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator, whose weapon was knocked away by an opponent who was suppressed in the late Qi Refining stage, was attacked with a single spear thrust!

How is this possible?!

Lu Jun stared blankly at his hands, at his empty palms, his face filled with disbelief.

He slowly raised his hands, turning them over and over to look at them, as if those hands were not his own.

"You...you..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Lin Xuanjing holstered his gun and stood there, looking at him calmly.

"You've only learned how to use force in your marksmanship, but not how to use skill."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Being fierce and domineering is not wrong, but extreme strength is easily broken. You put all your strength into every shot, which seems aggressive, but in fact it is full of flaws. As long as you find the point where your power flows, you can use a light touch to deflect a heavy blow with minimal effort."

He paused, then flicked the tip of his spear slightly, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The arc flowed smoothly, as if it merged with the wind and with the heavens and earth.

"Gunplay is not about swinging harder to be more effective. It's about seizing the right moment, finding the opening, and using the least amount of force to achieve the greatest effect."

Lu Jun's face alternated between pale and flushed, turning red and white in turns.

He wanted to argue back, to roar, to rush forward and continue the fight, but he found that he had no way to refute it.

He saw those two shots clearly.

Indeed, the opponent did not use any power exceeding the late stage of Qi Refining. He simply relied on his understanding of spear techniques and his grasp of timing to easily break through his early stage Foundation Establishment offensive.

The power brought by the elixir seemed utterly laughable at this moment.

"I...I don't believe it!"

Lu Jun suddenly roared!

The roar was filled with despair and madness, like the struggle of a trapped beast.

With a flash, the black spear returned to his palm!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his true energy surged wildly once again. He squeezed the medicinal power to its limit, preparing to fight to the death!

This time, he no longer pursued any moves or paid attention to any techniques.

He poured all his strength into the gun, raised it high with both hands, and slammed it down on Lin Xuanjing's head!

This shot had no technique, only brute force.

He will use force to overcome skill!

Using the brute force of the early Foundation Establishment stage to crush the skills of the late Qi Refining stage!

However, Lin Xuanjing only turned slightly to the side.

With a gentle flick of the Flowing Cloud Jade Spear, the tip of the spear once again precisely touched the shaft of the black spear.

This time, it was the rear of the middle section of the gun barrel, the final hub for power transmission.

"Ding!"

Another soft sound.

Lu Jun felt a strange force coming from the gun.

Like a whirlpool, like entwined silk.

His all-out strike, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was completely deflected by that gentle touch!

The black spear carried his body, which veered uncontrollably to the side and slammed heavily to the ground!

"boom!"

The high platform was smashed into a large crater, with debris flying everywhere and dust billowing up!

The enormous impact caused the entire platform to shake three times!

Lin Xuanjing's gun was already pressed against his throat.

The spear tip was icy cold, its killing intent palpable.

Lu Jun stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

He remained in the position of swinging the gun down, his body leaning forward, the gun tip embedded in the rubble.

And at his throat, the blue spear was pressed silently against his skin; a gentle thrust would take his life.

His pupils reflected that still calm face.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

The entire room fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Lin Xuanjing looked at the terrified boy in front of him with a calm gaze.

"That's not how marksmanship is used."

Then, he put away his gun.

Turn around.

Standing with hands behind his back.

She didn't look at Lu Jun again.

The flowing cloud-patterned jade spear pointed diagonally behind him, the azure light on its tip slowly receding and returning to calm.

On the high platform, only Lu Jun remained standing there, trembling all over, his face deathly pale.

From below the stage, someone suddenly led a burst of enthusiastic applause.

The applause grew louder and more frequent, eventually culminating in a deafening cheer!

"good!"

"Young Master Lin, what excellent marksmanship!"

"This is the true way of the gun!"

"That brat from the Lu family has utterly disgraced us!"

Among the crowd, the girls' gazes burned even brighter, their cheeks flushed, and their eyes were filled with admiration.

Li Jin stood still, motionless.

Her gaze followed the figure in blue on the high platform, her eyes filled with surprise.

No, it wasn't just surprise.

In that radiance, there was amazement, admiration, and a touch of indescribable excitement.

She looked at that tall, straight back, at the long spear pointing diagonally at the ground, at that handsome profile in the sunlight, and her heart skipped a beat.

……

In the distance, Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, and the smile on his lips finally spread out.

He looked at Yan Shuming beside him, with a hint of pride:

"This is my son, Lin Xuanjing. What does the City Lord think of my Lin family's traditional spear technique?"

Yan Shuming remained silent for a moment.

He had seen the battle just now clearly.

The young man did not use any power exceeding the late stage of Qi Refining from beginning to end.

Simply by relying on his understanding of marksmanship and his grasp of timing, he easily defeated his opponent who had been forcibly elevated to the early stage of Foundation Establishment after taking drugs.

The technique of using that final shot to knock the weapon away was absolutely exquisite.

Break through the surface with a single point; achieve great results with minimal effort!

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What excellent marksmanship!"

His voice carried a hint of sincere appreciation, as well as a subtle complexity.

"Elegant and agile, effortless and skillful, using technique to overcome force—this kind of spear technique is truly extraordinary."

He paused, his eyes flickering slightly.

His previous knowledge of the Lin family was mostly limited to their "skill in beast taming".

If that's the case, he'll have plenty of ways to control the Lin family in the future.

But the clues left by the Lin family over the past few days, and what I saw with my own eyes today.

This marksmanship is clearly the foundation of the Lin family's reputation!

That boy's marksmanship was not something that could be achieved overnight.

It must be due to a family tradition of learning and being immersed in it from a young age to have achieved such proficiency.

It seems that the assessment of the Lin family needs to be readjusted.

Lin Che smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He simply gazed quietly at the tall figure on the platform, his eyes filled with pride.

This is the true style of the Lin family.

……

At the front table in the banquet square, Li Guanhai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He didn't go to watch the excitement on the stage; his eyes searched back and forth among the crowd.

He was looking for Lu Jun's father, Lu Xiao.

That bastard dares to let his son run wild in this kind of place. What is he trying to do?

After looking around, his eyes slowly narrowed.

Because Lu Xiao's spot was empty.

That old man didn't come.

The shrewd and calculating man suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Not right.

Given Lu Xiao's cautious nature, she would never allow her son to act recklessly in such a setting.

It's even less likely that they would be absent at a time like this.

There's definitely something wrong here!

But before he could think it through, Lin Che's voice came from afar, interrupting his thoughts.
