"King Yan, I take back what I said earlier."

Qiu Yu surrendered, feeling his heart tremble violently under that bone-chilling murderous aura, like one who has just emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Lin Hai remained cold and silent, this man was initially arrogant and prideful, his eyes looked down on Huadu as if naturally despising it, as if he were a dragon and should be arrogant in such a small place like Huadu.

Now what?

A dragon? Or a snake? Or perhaps a worm?

His clothes were completely ripped, his muscular body covered in scars, coughing up blood repeatedly, his pupils contracting subconsciously when looking at his own mask, revealing a hint of fear.

Qiu Yu forcibly swallowed a mouthful of fresh blood; even now, he still held some pride, a worthless so-called nobility.

But at this moment, he fears death, he truly started fearing King Yan.

Before, he did not understand, why were so many people afraid of King Yan?

Until now, he understood; King Yan had taught him a lesson, telling him what it meant to be human every minute.

False nobility only exists when you are stronger than others, driven by pride, greed, and desire.

Once the facade of strength is stripped away, a person's true nature is torn open, revealing its true face.

Either genuinely noble or downright filthy.

"King Yan, I apologize for my recklessness, please join Yanhuang Soul, Lord Tianlong thinks highly of you."

Qiu Yu spoke again with difficulty.

A chuckle came from underneath the bronze mask.

"What is Lord Tianlong? Do I need him to think highly of me?"

"You…!"

Qiu Yu was both shocked and furious.

"Go back and tell Lord Tianlong that King Yan here orders him to come to Huadu and kneel to beg me to accept him, I think highly of him," Lin Hai responded coldly.

Qiu Yu's face instantly turned red with rage visible in his eyes.

"What? Got a problem with that?"

After saying that, Lin Hai swung his hand again.

Slap—

A new set of five finger marks appeared on the right half of Qiu Yu's face.

"King Yan, don't go too far!" Qiu Yu roared.

Slap slap—

Two more slaps, fiercely swinging left and right.

Qiu Yu was flung more than ten meters away, heavily crashing to the ground, breaking three ribs.

"Am I going too far?"

"I have even worse things in store."

Lin Hai grabbed Qiu Yu's ankle.

"What are you trying to do!"

With a thud,

Lin Hai's arm erupted with tremendous force.

Qiu Yu was swung high up.

"Don't!"

Boom—

Thud—

His entire body slammed into the ground, cracking the concrete like a spiderweb.

Violent coughs mixed with fresh blood and flesh.

As a Peak Supreme Strong, just one step away from stepping into the Legendary level.

Though his strength was forcibly enhanced by drugs, his body was still very tough.

Qiu Yu exuded a strong life force; he surprisingly did not pass out.

However, from his current disheveled appearance, it was evident he was suffering.

"King Yan, we can talk this over, cough cough."

Qiu Yu's tone softened once again.

"You didn't say you wanted to talk earlier."

"Damn it, King Yan, I've already shown my sincerity."

"It seems you still have quite the temper; let me help you cool it down."

Once again swinging, Qiu Yu cried out in the air.

This time, Lin Hai ruthlessly swung him toward a pile of steel bars.

"No!"

Qiu Yu's pupils contracted... With a bang, his whole body plunged headfirst into the pile of steel bars.

His face was scratched by the steel bars, leaving many wounds, and Qiu Yu almost lost his breath, death felt so close.

Lin Hai's expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no, I lost control, the fight had already reached its limit!"

He was about to breakthrough.

To prevent Qiu Yu from recovering and hindering his breakthrough.

Lin Hai swiftly moved, swooshing in front of Qiu Yu, using the Heavenly Creation Finger's Acupoint Sealing Chapter all over his opponent's body, ensuring he couldn't use Gang Qi or move for at least an hour.

Having done this, Lin Hai sat down cross-legged, Gang Qi flowing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians throughout his body, a warm feeling filled his heart, he closed his eyes and began to breakthrough.

...

The Gang Qi inside his body started to stimulate continuously, as if unleashing his potential at this moment.

On the surface of his body, waves of Gang Qi surged, and his aura grew increasingly stronger.

His momentum kept climbing, seemingly endless.

Lin Hai felt warmth throughout his body, and his strength kept increasing, increasing, and increasing.

The feeling was extremely comfortable, his fingers felt as if they could crush a diamond with a casual pinch.

Even the Gang Qi spent during the recent fight was being continuously replenished and restored.

After a full half-hour, Lin Hai's mind seemed exceptionally serene, and his mastery over Ancient Martial Techniques also became clearer and more proficient.

Gang Qi could develop a person's body to a certain extent, and this development involved the brain too.

Thus, every expert, besides having tremendous Gang Qi, also has a deep understanding of Ancient Martial Techniques.

Over forty minutes passed, Lin Hai opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Casually clenching his fist, his knuckles cracked, seemingly capable of crushing the air.

Slightly exerting force on his feet, Crack, the cement on the ground split immediately.

His aura also appeared unprecedentedly strong.

A true First-class Supreme Expert, Lin Hai had finally successfully stepped into that realm.

Not far away, Lin Hai noticed that Qiu Yu had awakened and was staring with eyes filled with disbelief.

"Surprised?" From beneath the bronze mask, a voice devoid of human emotion emanated.

Qiu Yu took a deep breath, disregarding his injuries, exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! You just broke through to a First-class Supreme Expert, but earlier you..."

"Heh, sorry, I'm used to fighting above my level, just now I was still a Second-class Supreme Expert, just a little bit away from breaking through."

...

At this moment, Qiu Yu really wanted to either vomit blood or knock himself dead.

Himself, a Peak Supreme Strong being rendered powerless by a Second-class Supreme Expert?

If this gets out, it would be more than embarrassing, it would be a lifelong humiliation for him!

"Are you really a superpower user?" Qiu Yu asked again.

At this moment, Lin Hai laughed, the smile chillingly eerie, "Haven't you guys from Yanhuang Soul seen a superpower user before?"

Qiu Yu fell silent.

From his eyes, Lin Hai caught a shocking piece of news.

Yanhuang Soul, it seems, really had never seen a true superpower user.

At least, someone at Qiu Yu's level hadn't encountered such, otherwise, his eyes wouldn't show that expression.

"Could it be that there really are no superpower users in this world?"

"Perhaps Qiu Yu's rank is too low, maybe only people at the level of Lord Tianlong are privy to such core secrets."

Lin Hai couldn't be sure whether there really were superpower users in this world.

At any rate, he hadn't really met one.

"King Yan, regardless if you're a superpower user, your strength is still insufficient, today it was me, if it were Lord Tianlong, you would undoubtedly die."

"I see, you're looking for more suffering?" Lin Hai clenched his fists, emitting a chilling crackling sound, and spoke coldly.

Fear flashed again in Qiu Yu's eyes, having suffered enough already, he didn't want to be tormented further.

"Please no, I beg you, I was wrong."

"Sorry, let's do that again."

Lin Hai pounced like a fierce tiger.

Qiu Yu only saw a dark shadow approaching, trembled in fear, and then, punches fell like rain, and screams echoed.

"Ah——"
