With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Ye Yaocheng raised an eyebrow.

"Owner?"

"Then let your master come out and see what kind of 'master' would take a piece of trash like you as a dog."

"you--!!!"

Huang Lili was so angry that she was trembling all over.

But the next second, her eyes suddenly lit up with a crazy light.

She struggled to her feet and, with all her might, screamed into the depths of the Junhu Group building:

"Owner--!!!"

"If you don't come out soon, your White Tiger Society is truly doomed!!!"

The sound echoed in front of the building.

Just when everyone thought she was bluffing—

"Noisy."

A voice came from deep within the building.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated the walls and reached everyone's ears.

It carried a condescending indifference, and an indescribable affectation.

Footsteps sounded.

He walked out of the building slowly and deliberately.

A figure appeared at the doorway; it was a young man.

He looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a black outfit, with his hands behind his back, chin slightly raised, eyes half-closed, and an expression that said, "I'm the best in the world."

He strode out with an air of indifference, his gaze sweeping over his wailing subordinates, over the corpse of the bear, and finally landing on Huang Lili.

"Useless." He spat out the two words.

Huang Lili, however, clung to him like a drowning woman grasping at a straw, scrambling over and grabbing the young man's leg: "Master! Master, you're finally out! It's him! He killed the bear and crippled all of us! You must—"

"Shut up."

The young man kicked her away before looking up at Ye Yaocheng.

Eyes facing each other.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Ye Yaocheng was the first to react.

A playful smile curved his lips: "So it was you."

He recognized the young man.

It was Lin Yan.

That "chosen one" who ate and dashed at the banquet, pretended to be a tycoon, and then swindled a piece of "top-grade divine gold" from him before running away in disgrace.

Lin Yan also recognized Ye Yaocheng.

His half-closed eyes suddenly widened, revealing undisguised disgust and contempt.

"Ye Yaocheng? What are you doing here, you piece of trash?"

He smirked, his expression a mix of arrogance and disdain: "What, the Ji family's fortunes have run out, so you've come to be a henchman for the Black Dragon Society? Well, a spineless coward like you who lives off a woman is only fit to do this kind of dirty work."

These words caused an uproar within the Black Dragon Society.

"How dare you!"

Saitama was the first to rush out, pointing his finger at Lin Yan and yelling, "You son of a bitch, a dine-and-dash guy who couldn't pay and got caught pretending to be rich to pick up girls, what right do you have to talk to adults?! Last time you ran faster than a dog, and today you're here acting all high and mighty?"

Lin Yan's face instantly flushed red: "You—!!!"

"Wait a minute." Qin Long grabbed Qi Yu, asking curiously, "You know him? He dined and dashed? What happened?"

Saitama spat, making a sound so loud that the whole audience could hear it.

"President, you don't know! Just the other day, at the Ji family banquet, this guy was dressed to the nines, ordered a bunch of expensive wines and dishes, but when it came time to pay the bill, he only had a few coins in his wallet! He even tried to flirt with Miss Ji, but the adults caught him red-handed. In the end, he pulled out a piece of scrap metal and claimed it was 'top-grade divine gold' to pay the bill. It was hilarious!"

He got more and more excited as he spoke: "And guess what? This guy couldn't beat me, so he slipped away in the chaos! Who knew he'd be putting on such a show here!"

"puff--"

Laughter erupted from all sides.

Lin Yan's face turned from red to purple, and then from purple to black.

"Enough!!!"

Lin Yan roared.

The veins on his neck were bulging, his eyes were fixed on Qi Yu, and then he suddenly turned to Ye Yaocheng.

"Ye Yaocheng! You stole Mingyue and even humiliated me with my top-grade divine gold... Today, we'll settle all our scores, old and new!!!"

He stomped his foot hard on the ground.

"boom--!!!"

The ground was cracked, and gravel flew everywhere.

The aura of the Foundation Establishment stage erupted fully, and it wasn't the kind that someone who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage possessed; his true essence was abundant, and his foundation was solid.

Saitama's expression changed.

The last time I saw Lin Yan, this guy was still in the late stage of Qi Refining. How long has it been? He's almost at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!

"Hey kid, what are you so arrogant about!"

Saitama, steeling himself, charged forward: "I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage now, what are you going to do with me?!"

The two collided instantly.

Fists and feet clashed, and true energy exploded.

"Bang!"

A short while later, Saitama was kicked hard in the chest and flew backward, knocking down two Black Dragon Society members before stopping.

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

lost.

Even though they were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was completely crushed by Lin Yan!

"Saitama!"

White Wolf, Black Owl, and Ghost Lotus's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed forward at the same time.

"Let's all come at once? Perfect!"

Lin Yan laughed wildly, showing no fear, fighting three people alone.

Fists flew, and true energy clashed.

The four of them fought fiercely, and shockwaves exploded outwards in circles.

But it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Lin Yan was handling the situation with ease.

One against three, a draw!

No, it's a slight advantage!

Qin Long watched from the side with a furrowed brow.

"Sir, something's not right with this person."

He whispered, "An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't possibly be this strong. The three of them, including White Wolf, are all genuine early Foundation Establishment cultivators with excellent teamwork. They should be able to suppress him..."

Ye Yaocheng watched quietly, his eyes deep.

He saw that every time Lin Yan made a move, a very faint golden light would flash across his body.

The golden light was subtle, but Ye Yaocheng could sense that it wasn't true essence, but some kind of higher-level power.

It's called luck, or the favor of heaven and earth.

"So this is the chosen one..." Ye Yaocheng murmured to himself, "Interesting."

Given a little time, one can improve rapidly, like riding a rocket; opportunities will always arise when encountering danger; benefactors will always appear in dire straits; and one can even inexplicably gain the upper hand in battle.

No wonder Ji Mingyue's system was so eager for it.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Yaocheng's eyes.

It seems... we have to deal with him before he fully matures.

Otherwise, it will definitely become a major threat in the future.

The situation on the field suddenly changed.

"Get out of here—!!!"

Lin Yan suddenly roared and pushed his hands out to the sides.

A burst of violent internal energy exploded out!

White Wolf, Black Owl, and Ghost Lotus were all thrown backward as if hit by a truck, crashing heavily to the ground with blood trickling from their mouths.

Lin Yan stood still, his long hair flying in the wind.

He slowly came to a stop, looked around the room, and raised his chin even higher.

"Who else—?!"

His voice was resonant and exuded an aura of dominance.

Huang Lili collapsed to the ground, her gaze towards Lin Yan now filled with fervent adoration, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Ye Yaocheng curled his lip.

The chosen one... truly an attraction to the opposite sex.

No wonder the White Tiger submitted so quickly; Huang Lili was probably won over by this guy's "domineering aura" and strength.

He shook his head and took a step forward.

"Since Brother Lin is so skilled," Ye Yaocheng said calmly, "then I'll... teach you a couple of moves."

Lin Yan suddenly turned his head.

When he saw Ye Yaocheng approaching, alarm bells went off in his mind. Last time at the Ji family, it was this guy who made him lose face!

"Ye Yaocheng!"

Lin Yan's eyes were filled with venom: "Today, I'm going to break your legs in front of everyone! Let Mingyue see who is the man worthy of her!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yaocheng made a move.

It's not fast, it's disappearing.

Lin Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively dodged to the left.

"laugh!"

A sharp pain shot through my right arm.

He looked down and saw a tear in his sleeve, and a deep, bone-revealing gash on his arm. Blood gushed out instantly, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

So fast!

"you……"

Lin Yan suddenly looked up and stared intently at Ye Yaocheng, who had somehow ended up standing in his original spot.

"I didn't expect... you to be this strong."

He gritted his teeth, forcing out the words, "However, I will defeat you! I, Lin Yan, am destined to be the future emperor! You piece of trash only deserve—!"

"You talk too much nonsense."

Ye Yaocheng interrupted him, too lazy to listen to such a childish declaration.

He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and simply threw a punch.

There was no golden light, no imposing aura; it was just an ordinary punch.

But Lin Yan's expression changed instantly; he felt... that he had been locked onto.

No matter where he tries to dodge, that punch will still land on him!

"Block it for me—!!!"

Lin Yan roared, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his true essence surged wildly throughout his body, causing that layer of pale golden light to reappear.

"Bang--!!!"

The fist slammed into the arm, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Then, Lin Yan heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Click...click click..."

It was his arm.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable force slammed into his body through his arms.

"puff--!!!"

Lin Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed hard into the outer wall of Junhu Group.

"BOOM—!!!"

The wall was sunken, and cracks spread like a spider web.

Lin Yan was embedded in the wall, coughed up another mouthful of blood, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

The entire room fell silent.

Ye Yaocheng withdrew his fist and flicked his wrist.

She glanced at Lin Yan, who was unconscious inside the wall, and then at Huang Lili, who was paralyzed on the ground, completely terrified.

Finally, their gaze fell on Qin Long.

"Clean up the mess."

He turned and walked toward the car parked by the roadside.

"Tie up that Lin Yan and take him back."

"I am useful."

The car doors closed, and the convoy drove away.

All that remained was a scene of utter devastation, the chosen one who had slammed his head against the wall and passed out, and a group of people who were still in shock.
