As Feng Ziping roared, seven people stayed behind to entangle the mechanical beasts, while five others broke through the blockade and charged towards Pei Yan. One of them, while running, waved his hand and flung out five iron rulers. But before he could exert his full strength, a heart-splitting pain shot up his right foot. Screaming in agony, he staggered and fell to the ground.

The uncontrolled iron rulers, nearing Pei Yan, were effortlessly swept away with a metallic clang by the metal tail of his mechanical tiger, scattering on the ground. The advancing group halted and turned back to see their companion, trapped and bloodied by a massive iron clamp.

"Watch the ground! He tampered with it just now!" The oldest and most powerful among the five, Qi Yongfu, shouted a warning.

"Damn it! This kid is tricky! How could this clamp pierce through my internal source and stab my body?" Qu Hang struggled to pry open the clamp gripping his foot and cursed loudly at the sight of his exposed shinbone.

Then, glaring venomously at Pei Yan, whose figure was shielded by the mechanical tiger, he raised his left hand and shouted in anger, "A ruler knows its length!" The five iron rulers, which had been knocked to the ground by the giant tiger, flew up again. Under Qu Hang's control, four of them grew larger and smashed down horizontally.

The giant tiger, protecting Pei Yan, didn't dare to dodge and charged towards the massive rulers with a roar. Just as its body was pressed down by the giant rulers, Qu Hang moved!

"Within Reach!" In an instant, Qu Hang, who was still hopping in place, suddenly disappeared. Replacing him was the iron ruler he had thrown earlier. The next moment, Qu Hang and the four iron rulers he had resummoned appeared in front of Pei Yan.

As he thought his surprise attack had succeeded, he was met with Pei Yan, whose entire body was mechanized, raising a black cannon muzzle high.

Thunder roared. Seeing Qu Hang disappear before his eyes and the iron rulers drop at his feet, Pei Yan looked up at Qu Hang, who had returned to his original spot and dodged his fatal strike, his face pale. Pei Yan chuckled and praised, "Quick reaction, quite an impressive ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another person in the crowd continuously sneer. Pei Yan followed the sound and saw a tall, thin figure walking forward, muttering to himself, "Ever since I entered that damned place, I knew my life was over! Today, if I lose, it's death; if I win, the best outcome is to go back and continue rotting in jail. I don't want to go back! Since those officials set such a huge trap for this brat, it shows he's extremely important to them, so today I'm going to risk my life to kill him! At least it will make those people angry! Xu Chu!"

As he finished his last sentence, a figure appeared, merging into his body. Soon, his body started to swell crazily, transforming from a tall and thin figure into a muscular strongman. He let out a long howl towards the sky and violently hammered his fists into the ground.

Pei Yan only felt a slight tremor under his feet. The ground before the strongman cracked inch by inch. The iron clamps he had planted unnoticed earlier were all shaken out by the pounding.

The next moment, the giant's body swayed as he leapt into the air, a large blade appearing out of nowhere in his hands. The mechanical tiger in front of Pei Yan sensed the threat and shook its body, knocking the giant iron rulers to the side, and opened its iron jaw with a roar, pouncing towards the descending strongman.

"Boom!" The giant clang of metal collision sounded. A figure wielding a knife stood amidst the dust, cut the tiger in half at the waist. Before the dust settled, the giant tiger's figure wavered and collapsed, a long knife slicing through the dust!

"Shirtless Body!"

Facing the strongman, whose body had swollen up again, tearing his shirt apart, and the knife stabbing forward, Pei Yan didn't dodge or evade. He hardened his arms to block the blade in front of his chest.

"Boom!"

Pei Yan was sent flying more than fifty meters by the tremendous force. He looked at his slightly dented arms, and with his gaze fixed on the strongman standing with the knife, shouted, "Among everyone I know, in terms of strength, you rank in the top three! Tell me your name!"

"Wei Chuan! A heroic figure! Xu Chu!"

"Good! Remember the name of the person who will kill you! I'm Pei Yan!" As he said this, Pei Yan was still fifty meters away, but when he finished speaking, accompanied by a thunderous sound, he appeared behind Wei Chuan.

Wei Chuan was astonished and, shocked, swung his knife back horizontally. Pei Yan had already disappeared. Hearing the sound of a whistling fist coming from the side, Wei Chuan knew he couldn't dodge it. He gritted his teeth, preparing to withstand the blow.

"Distances Apart!"

Pei Yan, seeing how close his punch was, brushed past Wei Chuan's body. Shocked, he looked down to find himself standing on the iron ruler Qu Hang had previously swapped with. Turning, he saw Qu Hang hiding in the crowd, staring at him sinisterly.

At this moment, Wei Chuan was even more surprised. Waiting to be hit, he saw no attack came. Taking advantage of Pei Yan's brief distraction, Wei Chuan counterattacked with a horizontal slash.

The knife missed, and Wei Chuan, gripping the hilt, stared wide-eyed as Pei Yan soared into the sky, spewing flames. He cursed loudly, "What kind of ability is this damn it! This is just Iron Man!"

The five people simultaneously looked up, watching as Pei Yan gradually disappeared into the sky. They glanced at each other, bewildered, uncertain of what was happening. Was the fight over?

This confusion didn't last long. Eyes fixed on the sky, Qi Yongfu pointed and shouted, "He's appeared! Where is he!? There! Everyone, be careful!"

In the stands above Pei Yan, the leaders, suspecting what he was about to do, hurriedly took out earplugs and plugged their ears, releasing their internal sources to shield the shallow part of the stands.

Pei Yan's silver-white figure descended from the sky, flying parallel to the ground on the other side of the training field. Then, the speed suddenly increased, and after whipping up a gale, Pei Yan broke the sound barrier for the first time, surpassing the speed of sound, and the sonic boom reverberated throughout the field.

"Aaaaaah!" Everyone on the field clutched their bleeding ears, writhing on the ground, crying out like ghosts.

Dizzy and disoriented, Qu Hang hopped and barely stabilized his figure. In his stupor, he saw Pei Yan descend from the sky in front of him, slowly extending his hand like a kind person offering support to an elderly person, resting on his shoulder.

"Within Reach!" Panicked, Qu Hang desperately tried to activate his ability but was horrified to find his internal source trapped within his chest, unable to heed his command!

Looking at Pei Yan, who had unveiled his helmet and was grinning foolishly at him, Qu Hang was overwhelmed with terror, roaring in a hoarse voice, "Who are you really?!"

He only saw the other person's lips move, but in his state of tinnitus, he couldn't hear a thing. The next second, he felt a hand pressing his head, his neck twisting uncontrollably to one side, and his vision went black as his body went limp.

Foot on Qu Hang's corpse, whose neck he had broken, Pei Yan bent down to pick up the iron ruler from the ground. Watching it disintegrate into ash, deprived of its internal source support, Pei Yan lamented, "What a wonderful ability! I really wanted it!"
