When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

After stepping down, Lin Xuan was surrounded by insults.

Lin Xuan ignored him and followed Xun Fu to the pavilion to rest.

"Old Lin, you're incredibly lucky! Everyone who fought you surrendered. I could have done it too!" Xun Fu said.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at Xun Fu, too lazy to explain to this pig-headed man.

Nalan Qinghan asked, "Lin Xuan, what exactly did you do? Why did they all admit defeat?"

Lin Xuan said, "Perhaps they realized the gap between us and chose to admit defeat?"

Nalan Qinghan rolled her eyes and said, "How come I don't see any difference between you and them?"

Lin Xuan said, "Because you're stupid."

"I... Humph!" Nalan Qinghan stomped her foot in anger.

Just then, an uninvited guest walked into the pavilion.

He was a pawn arranged by Xiao Zhan, and also the person who would face Lin Xuan in the next battle.

"Young Master Lin, I've heard so much about you," the man said, clasping his hands in greeting.

Lin Xuan looked up and nodded silently.

"My name is Yang Yan. I have long admired the young master's reputation," Yang Yan said with a cold smile, his eyes filled with mockery. "I've heard that to marry his beloved, the young master emptied his family's coffers, scraping together ten million taels of gold as a bride price, which became a legendary tale, truly a story worthy of praise and tears!"

Those present could hear the sarcasm and mockery in Yang Yan's words, and they couldn't help but frown.

Lin Xuan looked at Yang Yan with a half-smile and said, "Since it's so moving, then sing me a song and have a good cry."

Yang Yan was stunned, his composure completely thrown off balance by Lin Xuan.

He thought that Lin Xuan would be provoked by his words and then become enraged and attack him, thus giving him a reason to teach Lin Xuan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan not only didn't fall for the trick, but it also made him sing and cry.

"Why aren't you singing? Didn't you say it was a song that could be sung and sung?" Lin Xuan walked step by step toward Yang Yan, and the majestic aura emanating from him made Yang Yan feel a little intimidated for a moment.

No, I can't back down. He's just a useless prince, everyone in Qingzhou knows that. Why should I be afraid of him?

Besides, I have the Third Prince backing me up, what am I afraid of!

He was about to speak when Lin Xuan choked him up again.

"Since you're not going to sing, then forget it. But singing is hard, but crying isn't hard. Why don't you just start crying?" Lin Xuan said with a half-smile.

"Pfft!"

Nalan Qinghan couldn't help but chuckle, but then realized it wasn't appropriate to laugh in this situation, so she quickly covered her mouth.

Yang Yan had intended to find an opportunity to humiliate Lin Xuan, but unexpectedly, he was the one who was humiliated by Lin Xuan instead.

"What a silver tongue! I hope that when you get on stage, Prince Lin's fists and feet will be just as formidable as your words," Yang Yan said through gritted teeth.

Right now, he couldn't wait to start the fight, beat Lin Xuan black and blue, and make him lose face in front of the whole city!

Yang Yan glared angrily at Lin Xuan, uttered some harsh words, and then turned and left.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan had no intention of letting him go.

You think you can just show off and walk away? Not so easy.

"Wait a minute, did I say you could leave?" Lin Xuan said.

"What, does Young Master Lin have any further instructions?" Yang Yan said coldly.

Lin Xuan walked towards Yang Yan and said with a half-smile, "Since you can't cry on your own, then I'll help you."

"Oh?" Yang Yan laughed. "Help me? I'd like to see how you can help me."

"I'll beat you until you cry," Lin Xuan said succinctly.

"You think you can?" Yang Yan laughed loudly. "Lin Xuan, everyone flatters you by calling you 'Young Master,' and you actually think you're the Young Master? Everyone knows you, Lin Xuan, are the number one good-for-nothing in Qingzhou, a disgrace to your Lin family!"

He took a few steps forward and said arrogantly, "I'm not bragging, but I only need three moves to take you down. If you don't believe me, let's try it. Don't cry if you lose."

Lin Xuan stared at Yang Yan expressionlessly, slowly clenching his fist.

Yang Yan planted his feet on the ground, revealing his full cultivation level, which was actually at the late stage of the Spirit Profound Realm.

"Come on, I'll give you three moves, no, ten moves. If you can break my defense within ten moves, I'll..."

boom!

Before Yang Yan could finish his nonsense, Lin Xuan punched him squarely in the stomach.

Lin Xuan did not use his full strength in this punch, but the Zhen Tian Jue, which he had cultivated to the third level, gave rise to the power of three dragons and three elephants in this punch.

Yang Yan's whole body stiffened, his expression froze, as if he had been frozen in place.

Lin Xuan withdrew his fist expressionlessly.

thump!

Yang Yan immediately knelt on the ground, and slowly, his body bent and curled up as he clutched his stomach and began to convulse.

"Waaaaah..."

A sob came from Yang Yan's throat.

Xun Fu bent down curiously to take a look, then immediately looked up at Lin Xuan and said, "Old Lin, he's crying."

Nalan Qinghan stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at Lin Xuan in disbelief.

He made a late-stage Spirit Profound Realm martial artist cry with a single punch? Just how powerful has Lin Xuan become?

Is he truly a wise man feigning ignorance, choosing to protect himself?

Lin Xuan, how many secrets do you still have?

Nalan Qinghan looked at Lin Xuan with even more curiosity.

"Waaaaah..."

Yang Yan's crying grew louder and louder.

Lin Xuan said, "You said I was worthy of praise and tears, and now you're crying. Next time we meet, remember to sing me a song."

Yang Yan curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach, like a shrimp.

"Go do what you're supposed to do." Lin Xuan glanced at him, completely ignoring him.

Lin Xuan originally didn't want to make a move, but unexpectedly, Yang Yan was really asking for a beating. If he wasn't taught a lesson, he would be as annoying as a fly.

The saying goes, "A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

Lin Xuan and the other two walked out of the pavilion, and it took Yang Yan a while to recover.

He was already crying from the pain, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face, looking quite ugly.

Yang Yan wiped away his tears and snot and returned to Xiao Zhan's side, not daring to face Xiao Zhan directly, for fear that Xiao Zhan would see that he had just cried.

After several more matches, it was finally Lin Xuan's turn.

This time, it was Yang Yan's turn to fight Lin Xuan.

Xiao Zhan's lips curled up; he was already prepared to watch Lin Xuan burst into tears, achieve an ugly victory, and then be ridiculed by the entire audience.

"Go ahead, but don't embarrass me," Xiao Zhan said.

"Yes." Yang Yan walked down the steps and headed towards the arena. However, the more he walked, the more uneasy he felt, and the more his stomach churned.

At this moment, Lin Xuan had already stepped onto the arena. As usual, he sat casually on the arena, yawning and stretching.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"How dare this good-for-nothing advance? Kill him!"

"I can't take it anymore! This loser's luck is just too good! I could do that too!"

The martial arts practitioners in the audience couldn't stand it anymore and wished that the next challenger would beat Lin Xuan so badly he would run away in terror.

As a result, Lin Xuan's opponent did not come up on stage for a long time.

Yun Zhenting's brows furrowed more and more, and he felt that something was wrong.

The martial arts tournament has been going on for so long, and Lin Xuan has gone through so many rounds, yet he has advanced without ever making a move. This makes Yun Zhenting completely unable to fathom his strength, and he doesn't even know if Lin Xuan has any real ability.

As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

However, Yun Zhenting knows nothing about Lin Xuan at the moment, and even Yun Xiyue cannot provide him with accurate information.

"Something's not right, something's definitely not right." Yun Zhenting frowned and looked towards Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan stood up angrily and loudly questioned Yang Yan, "What are you doing squatting there? Go up there!"

Yang Yan turned around with difficulty, looked at Xiao Zhan, and said intermittently, "Your...Your Highness, I...I'm afraid...I'm afraid I have to abstain...Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yan spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately knelt on the ground.

His cultivation level also dissipated completely at this moment.

Feeling his cultivation rapidly draining away, Yang Yan was dumbfounded.

His cultivation was destroyed just from taking one punch from Lin Xuan?!
