Yang Chao only thought he had made a mistake a moment ago, accidentally slipped and lost face, so after standing up, his eyes flashed with ferocity.

He was the notorious leader of the four infamous young masters in Capital City, yet he had knelt in front of Lin Chen. If this got out, where would his dignity go?

So now Yang Chao had lost his rationale, only thinking about how to regain his lost face.

Yang Chao glared viciously at Lin Chen, like a ferocious wolf staring at its prey.

Many people familiar with Yang Chao knew that this kid was about to make a serious move.

Swoosh!

Yang Chao kicked off the ground, his body shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring. This time, he took extra care, not moving in a straight line, but instead making two sidesteps to Lin Chen's left side before chopping at Lin Chen's left shoulder with a knife hand.

This knife hand move from Yang Chao was infused with Inner Strength, and if it hit, Lin Chen's left shoulder might be directly split.

Yang Chao's thoughts were rosy, but the reality was quite stark.

Yang Chao's speed was indeed not slow, but in front of Lin Chen, it was almost in slow motion; trying to hit Lin Chen was like a joke.

Lin Chen slightly leaned his body, and though the movement was small, it was just enough to avoid Yang Chao's knife hand strike.

Yang Chao missed with his strike, and due to inertia, his body leaned forward uncontrollably. At this moment, Lin Chen quietly placed his foot on Yang Chao's trajectory.

In the eyes of the people present, Lin Chen appeared somewhat awkward, as if he was retreating to dodge backwards, and with a table between them, no one noticed Lin Chen secretly tripped Yang Chao.

Tripping is a must-have skill in child fights, but here Lin Chen applied it to perfection.

Thud!

Yang Chao felt a stumble in his step and then directly fell face-first like a dog eating dirt.

And with this fall, he crashed heavily against the opposite table, instantly sending the dishes on the table scattering across the floor, with many being spilled onto Yang Chao's head and body.

Yang Chao was a man who dressed meticulously, who had to wear name brands when going out, and this kid had a bit of a cleanliness fetish, keeping himself spotless.

But now Yang Chao's appearance could only be described as utterly disheveled.

He's no longer the rich young master of Capital City, almost comparable to a beggar on the street.

Yang Chao wobbled to his feet, and his disheveled appearance immediately provoked uproarious laughter from the crowd.

Green vegetables clung to Yang Chao's hair, dripping with sauce.

Noodles hung on his face, potatoes stuck to his cheeks.

The pristine white suit had been dyed a myriad of colors with soup and various gourmet dishes.

Yang Chao's appearance could be described as disastrous.

Many onlookers took out their phones, capturing Yang Chao's embarrassing look and sharing it on social media.

Hence, Yang Chao officially became a trending figure in the aristocratic circle, and in addition to the four infamous young masters, he gained a new nickname: Gang Leader of Beggars.

Yang Chao's face turned ashen, spitting out a few greens, he pointed at Lin Chen and cursed: "Damn it, if you're a man, fight me one-on-one! What's the point in just dodging?"

While cursing, Yang Chao rubbed his sore leg. He had not anticipated Lin Chen to dodge that knife hand, nor had he expected Lin Chen's foot to conveniently extend just as he was falling.

Damn, I really should have checked my horoscope before heading out today, my luck's terrible.

Until now, Yang Chao hadn't realized that his miserable plight was all thanks to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at Yang Chao playfully: "Brother Yang, your strength is so formidable, if that knife hand had hit me, I'd be crippled. How could I not dodge? You wouldn't expect me to stand still and let you hit?"

Actually, Lin Chen was being so low-key for two reasons: one, because he was the host, fighting at his own banquet was not appropriate, leading to two unintended incidents.

Secondly, this fool had the audacity to target Xue Ying; killing him outright would be too dull — playing around slowly was more interesting.

Yang Chao gritted his teeth angrily. He had attempted to hit Lin Chen twice but ran into accidents each time — first he slipped, then he was tripped by Lin Chen. Damn, his luck was utterly terrible.

At this moment, two people wearing Taoist robes entered from the door.

One had white hair but a youthful face, while the other was a little old Taoist following with a cheeky smile.

The newcomers were none other than Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Yu.

However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Sanfeng now went by the name Zhang Feng, because if people knew the legendary Zhang Sanfeng was alive today, it would shock the entire world.

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Yu looked speechless.

"Brother Chen, you're really bullying people. A guy almost stepping into the God Realm, bullying a fool from the Cloud Sea Realm. Look at how you've beaten him to such a state, you really have no shame."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment.

Many of these people came from martial arts families and naturally understood the concept of the God Realm, a legendary existence.

Yet Lin Chen, barely in his twenties, actually possessed God Realm strength — how was this possible?

The Lin family actually produced such a superpower; those who had just looked down on the Lin family and ridiculed them were now dumbstruck.

To have a True God Realm expert meant a family could almost walk unchallenged in China, even entering the ranks of top-class families. But Lin Chen was a demigod, several levels stronger than a True God Realm.

How could this not shock everyone, not frighten them?

The disciples of major families in Capital City, who had such ability? Yang Chao's strength was already a rarity among these noble descendants, but he was only Cloud Sea Realm, while Lin Chen was only a step away from the legendary God Realm.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Lin Chen, finally understanding that Yang Chao's two falls were not mere coincidences, but Lin Chen's handiwork.

Lin Chen glared fiercely at Zhang Yu for exposing him.

Originally, he planned to properly teach Yang Chao a lesson, but now it wasn't going to happen.

Seeing Zhang Sanfeng, Elder Long hurried over.

"Senior Zhang, you came too."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled: "Lin Chen invited me, of course I came. This kid finally plucked a feather from the iron rooster and didn't invite this old man."

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly: "It's just that I was afraid you'd be busy and have no time."

Just then, a noisy sound of footsteps came from the doorway.

Seeing the people who walked in, everyone froze; the big shots from the Southeast, Southwest, Liaodong, and Northwest almost all came.

Lin Chen had fought with the Dragon Group in these places before, and dealt with these big shots.

These big shots understood Lin Chen's weight, so they immediately canceled their current engagements to come and offer congratulations.

After all, none of them were completely innocent, and now rumors spread that Lin Chen would be the future leader of the Dragon Group. Such a person, who wouldn't wish to curry favor with?

Soon, the entire restaurant was filled with an odd atmosphere.

Everyone originally thought that even if the Lin family returned to Capital City, they'd be at most a second-rate family, but seeing the situation, they suddenly understood the Lin family was a king returning — henceforth, the Lin family would surely be the top among the four major families in Capital City.
