Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

In the void, three radiant halos shone brightly, like the blazing sun overhead.

Yin Qianji gasped for breath, gritted his teeth, and bulged the veins on his forehead as he desperately tried to straighten his back.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Jin looked at the other person with indifferent eyes, his gaze full of mockery: "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Didn't you say you would cut my face to pieces? How come you can't even stand up in front of me now?"

As he spoke, he walked step by step toward Yin Qianji.

With each step taken, the three wheels of light moved a fraction of an inch, intensifying the sense of oppression.

"Don't get too cocky!"

As soon as Yin Qianji opened his mouth, everything went blurry before his eyes.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap landed squarely on his face.

Yin Qianji's massive, mountain-like body was sent flying by the slap, rolling seven or eight times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

He covered his face, his mind blank.

He had never been insulted like this in all his years of life!

"This slap is to teach you how to speak."

Xia Jin's icy voice seemed to jolt Yin Qianji, snapping him out of his daze.

"Damn it, today I'm going to tear you to pieces!!" He roared, his golden-patterned battle body erupted, he gripped his giant blade, and charged straight at Xia Jin.

However, he had only taken one step when

"Snapped!"

Another slap in the face.

This time it came from the side, and Yin Qianji was sent flying, the five-meter-long giant blade flying out of his hand.

"You still want to defy me?! This slap will teach you a lesson."

Yin Qianji's face flushed red. The slap hadn't caused much physical harm, but it was extremely humiliating. He was unconvinced and charged at Xia Jin again.

"Snapped!"

"This slap will teach you what it means to know when to back down."

"Snapped!"

"That slap..."

On the battle platform, the sound of slaps echoed continuously.

Yin Qianji's burly, bear-like body was like a sandbag, being slapped repeatedly by Xia Jin, with no power to fight back.

His golden-patterned battle body was indeed incredibly powerful. Even after being whipped like that, it only appeared to be covered in bruises on the surface, but it did not actually suffer any serious injury.

Yin Qianji's face was as black as the bottom of a pot; this humiliating fighting style was driving him to the brink of collapse.

Finally, Xia Jin stopped.

Yin Qianji felt a little dizzy and swayed slightly while standing. His face was even swollen like a pig's head, but he had just regained his balance.

"You don't think that's all, do you?"

Xia Jin's voice, like that of a demon, suddenly came from behind him.

Before Yin Qianji could react, a large hand landed on his shoulder.

"Go down and sober up."

A tremendous force pressed down, and Yin Qianji was slammed into the ground of the fighting arena like a nail! Only his head, swollen like a pig's head, was exposed.

"You bastard!! How dare you insult me ​​like that!!!"

Yin Qianji's eyes turned bloodshot, and he was even forced to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"I'm going to kill you!!!" A fierce glint flashed in Yin Qianji's eyes.

That was a desperate, mad gamble.

Xia Jin naturally noticed the other person's gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Hmm? Still not convinced?"

He raised his foot, ready to kick.

In that very instant!

"boom!"

Yin Qianji erupted, his entire body shooting into the sky from the ground! His massive figure shot into the air like a cannonball.

However, he did not rush towards Xia Jin, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.

A faint green light suddenly shone from between his eyebrows.

"You forced me to do this!"

Yin Qianji's face was contorted with rage, his eyes fixed on Xia Jin below: "This move was originally intended for Fan Wujiu! Today, wasting it on you is an honor for you!"

"call out!"

A thin, hair-like green light shot out from between his eyebrows!

Almost instantly, it disappeared into Xia Jin's brow.

Soul-Destroying Needle!

This is a soul-attacking treasure crafted by Yin Qianji over ten years, using countless precious artifacts! It specializes in attacking the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, directly piercing their soul! Once it hits, at best, the soul will be injured, turning the person into an idiot; at worst, the soul will be completely destroyed on the spot!

"It's done!" Yin Qianji's eyes flashed with wild joy.

Meanwhile, within Xia Jin's sea of ​​consciousness,

The slender, eerie green needle, upon entering his sea of ​​consciousness, immediately pierced the illusory soul figure sitting cross-legged in the very center.

Xia Jin's mind remained focused, her eyes tightly shut, seemingly oblivious to the impending attack.

The Soul-Destroying Needle is getting closer and closer to the soul.

Just as the Soul-Destroying Needle was about to pierce Xia Jin's soul between her eyebrows!

"clang!!"

A deep, resonant bell suddenly rang out in his mind!

Indeed, the incomplete Eastern Emperor Bell that was floating above Xia Jin's soul seemed to sense the danger and struck itself.

The Soul-Destroying Needle abruptly stopped at the sound of that bell.

Then,

"clang!!"

The second bell rang.

The Soul-Destroying Needle shattered with a crash and dissipated into Xia Jin's sea of ​​consciousness.

Yin Qianji saw Xia Jin's body suddenly freeze in place, motionless.

"Hahahaha!" He suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Let you be arrogant! Let you be cocky! Once you've been struck by my Soul-Destroying Needle, no matter how powerful you are, you'll be reduced to ashes by me today..."

"What do you mean, 'white'?!"

Suddenly a familiar voice came, and Yin Qianji's expression changed abruptly. His previous ecstatic expression vanished instantly, and he even felt a chill run down his spine.

He stared intently ahead and noticed that Xia Jin, who had been motionless just three breaths ago, was now suddenly smiling at him.

"Do you really think that your methods just now were effective against me?"

Yin Qianji's face changed from astonishment to fear.

"No...impossible...that was a Soul-Destroying Needle that I spent ten years crafting...how could you take it so easily..."

"Hmph!" Xia Jin shook her head. "A frog in a well."

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Yin Qianji's pupils contracted. He had just sensed an extreme killing intent; the other party wanted to kill him.

Before he could make a move, a hand reached out from the void and grabbed his neck.

Xia Jin's face was inches away, her golden pupils looking down at him like a god looking down at an ant.

"Originally, all you had to do was admit defeat, and you would have suffered some physical pain. But since you're so ungrateful... then don't blame me for being impolite!"

A bell tolled directly from his sea of ​​consciousness, striking straight into Yin Qianji's brow!

Yin Qianji's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes instantly losing focus and becoming somewhat dazed.

His mouth was slightly open, and a trickle of saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Yin Qianji chuckled foolishly, his eyes unfocused.

Xia Jin released her hand expressionlessly.

Yin Qianji's body slumped to the ground, still grinning foolishly, drool dripping all over the floor.

"snort."

Xia Jin gave him a cold look and casually tossed him aside.

Then, Xia Jin raised her head and looked towards a certain point in the void.

Those golden pupils seemed to pierce through space, meeting the gaze of a certain pair of eyes.

"Mr. Gu, right? I know you're watching."

"Today, out of respect for you, I will spare his life. But from now on, he will only be a fool, and he will not be able to hold onto the position of a top-tier disciple."

After speaking, Xia Jin withdrew her gaze and stepped directly into the void gate in front of her.

"This guy! He's really ruthless!" On the island in the very center of the Second Heaven, Mr. Gu looked at Xia Jin in the painting and almost spat out his tea.

That's Yin Qianji!

Yin Qianji ranked fourth!

Yin Qianji, a ferocious humanoid beast!

He was turned into an idiot by Xia Jin just like that.
