Chapter Ten: Astonishing Skill Shocks the Audience

  "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them in one moment!"

  Lin Xi took a deep breath, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He had been practicing hard for the past few days to recover his strength, all for the sake of making a stunning move at the Elder Council meeting, astonishing everyone present.

  "Welcome!"

  Lin Xi's expression changed in an instant, his body leaned forward, and a fist shot out like lightning.

  Chinese martial arts, progressive collapse fist!

  "The overall situation has been settled."

  The six elders, Han Shizhong, blinked calmly, and his heart had already made a decision. With his realm and cultivation, he could see at a glance that Lin Xi's strength was still somewhat inferior to Meng Shi's, and the outcome of this battle was almost without suspense.

  "Hmph! Underestimating oneself is exactly what leads to this outcome."

  The five elders' faces were expressionless, but a cold glint flashed in their eyes.

  These two men were both capable of stopping the fight, but each one was reluctant to take action, lowering their eyebrows and closing their eyes as if they had not seen anything.

  "Haha, you want to compare strength with me? You're looking for a beating!"

  Meng Shi's mouth curled up in a sneer. In his opinion, Lin Xi actually dared to compare strength with him, which was simply ridiculous!

  "Is that so? — Meng Shi, I'll let you know who's the real waste!"

  Just as the two fists were about to collide, Lin Xi's tongue burst forth like thunder, and a shocking roar erupted from his mouth. At the same time, all the joints in his body, from the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae, crackled and popped loudly, and a massive force was transmitted from his entire body to his right fist.

  National Art, Spinal Strike Three-Link Style!

  Lin Xi's arm strength was originally inferior to Meng Shi. But at this moment, Lin Xi somehow managed to borrow the power of his spine strike triple combo, stacking up the strength from other parts of his body and transmitting it to his hand. In just that instant, Lin Xi's entire body erupted with a surge of power, suddenly releasing an aura of extreme danger.

  "Not good!"

  Meng Shi's mind was greatly shocked, and he felt an unprecedented crisis. The moment before, Lin Xi was just a sheep waiting to be slaughtered in his eyes, but the next moment, Lin Xi seemed to have transformed into a giant beast from ancient times, and that vast aura made people tremble with fear.

  "Found it? Unfortunately, too late!"

  Lin Xi's expression was cold and ruthless, giving Meng Shi no chance to react. With a single press of his arm, it was as if a massive axe had come crashing down, brutally crushing everything in its path.

  "Crack!"

  The moment the two fists collided, the power of "Progressive Collapse Fist" finally burst out. A torrential explosive force came rushing in. Meng Shi felt as if he had been struck by a mountain peak, his right arm fracturing on the spot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

  "Wow! What an incredible power! How is this possible?!"

  Meng Shi's eyes bulged out in terror, like a fish. The moment the two fists intersected, he was swept away like a soccer ball, rolling over more than a dozen times, flying over more than ten meters, and then slamming into the ground like a dead dog.

  "Shi Xian's nephew!......"

  "Stones! ——"

  There was only a cry of surprise, and one of the elders who had been calm just a moment before sat up with a start. He stared incredulously at Meng Shi, who had fallen to the ground. As for Second Elder Meng Jun, he had already lost his composure and rushed over, shouting in alarm.

  "Xi'er!"

  The three elders were shocked and delighted. Lin He unexpectedly showed such power and skill, which was beyond their expectations.

  Too fast! It's really too fast!

  No one expected that Meng Shi's strength would overpower Lin Xi. How could he be beaten and sent flying like a dead dog in just the blink of an eye?

  "How is this possible!"

  Just a moment ago, they were still sneering and mocking Lin Xi, wanting to see his joke, but now the disciples of the gate were shocked, their eyes wide with amazement, their faces pale as if they had seen a ghost.

  "Meng Shi, now, who is the real waste?"

  Lin Xi slowly withdrew his fist, glanced at Meng Shi's face which was covered in injuries, and then spoke slowly.

  "You!"

  Meng Shi was originally injured, and upon hearing this sentence, he suddenly felt a surge of blood to his head, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood before fainting.

  "Stones!"

  Meng Jun held Meng Shi and let out a loud cry. He suddenly turned his head around, glaring at Lin Xi with venom in his eyes:

  "You little beast! How dare you hurt my son!"

  His eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his whole body was full of murderous aura.

  "Hum! No eyes for fists and feet, casualties are self-inflicted. This is the rule we set before we started fighting. With so many elders as witnesses, Meng Jun, do you dare to break the rules?"

  Lin Xi Meng took a step forward, fearless and confident.

  In the main hall, apart from Meng Jun, there was also Lin Xi's aunt, Lin Ruyun, and the Great Elder. Even if all the other Elders stood on Meng Jun's side, Lin Xi didn't believe they would dare to make a move in front of the Great Elder.

  "Meng Jun, in front of the elder, you dare to take action?"

  Lin Ruyun let out a loud shout on the spot. She had also become enraged. Meng Jun and his son were plotting against Lin Xi, thinking of ways to deal with him. When they went up the mountain, Meng Jun was already thinking of making a move against Lin Xi. Now he still dared to take action, truly intolerable.

  Lin Ruyun also went out.

  As expected, upon hearing the name "Great Elder", Meng Jun couldn't help but pause for a moment, and the fierce glint in his eyes diminished significantly.

  The Great Elder had rarely intervened in the affairs of the sect for decades. Although he seemed to have a good temper, even Meng Jun did not dare to thoroughly provoke this number one master of the Five Thunder Sect.

  The strong in Long Lijing are far from being able to contend with him at present. Even if the tiger is added!

  "Lin Xi, you're so ruthless!"

  Suddenly a loud shout came from the slanting moonlit courtyard. In the blink of an eye, a young man in his early twenties walked out, his eyes gleaming with a fierce glare:

  "It's just a friendly spar, nothing more. The saying 'fists and feet have no eyes' is just an expression. But your moves are so vicious and ruthless, I'm afraid future Five Thunder Sect disciples won't respect you. Meng Changlao is your elder, respected and revered by all, who wouldn't show respect? And yet you also dare to be insolent. With such sinister and ruthless intentions, and no regard for authority, as your senior brother, I must teach you a lesson on behalf of the masters. Come here, let's exchange moves, aren't you afraid?"

  This young man had eyebrows like sleeping silkworms and eyes like dots of lacquer. In his slender physique, however, was contained a power that was explosive in nature. Especially when he walked, the sound of crackling could be heard, as if two pieces of cowhide were being pulled apart. Lin Xi took only one glance to know that this guy had already reached the fifth stage of the Wudao's tendon period.

  "You want to challenge me?"

  Lin Xi stood proudly and said in a cold voice.

  "Haha, a challenge? No! I'm going to thoroughly teach you a lesson. Someone like you who is so arrogant and disrespectful to their elders must be taught a lesson! - What, are you afraid to accept the challenge?"

  Wang Yuehe sneered. He was a disciple by Meng Jun's side, quite trusted. As the saying goes, when the master has something to do, the disciple takes his place. Wang Yuehe saw that Meng Jun and Meng Shi were frustrated, so he wanted to take the lead on behalf of his master.

  Wang Yuehe's mind was clear and transparent, deeply understanding that snakes have their own way, and mice have their own way. Meng Jun was restricted by his identity and couldn't directly take action against Lin Xi, but as a disciple, he didn't have such identity restrictions.

  "Wang Yuehe, retreat! Xi'er is back. Now is the time for the elder's meeting, not your fighting hour."

  The three elders immediately called out in unison.

  "Three elders, as your disciples, we are just competing with each other in martial arts. Isn't Lin Shidi supposed to be the junior leader? If he can't even beat me, how can he convince others? How can he become the leader in the future?"

  Wang Yuehe's voice was neither soft nor hard, grasping the identity of Shaomen Gate, leaving Lin Ruyun speechless.

  "Ridiculous! Whether I can do it or not is not for you, a mere junior disciple, to decide. Can't defeat me and then convince the crowd? Who do you think you represent? Hmph! Using such provocative tactics in front of me is really too childish. Tell you, relying on your strength to try to teach me? I'm afraid you don't have that qualification!"

  Lin Xi's sleeves fluttered, standing proudly in the arena, for a moment, his momentum was unmatched.

  "So you're agreeing! Hmph, daring to say such things in front of me, Lin Shidi, you're indeed arrogant and look down on others!"

  Wang Yuehe walked into the arena with a gloomy face:

  "But if you think that defeating Meng Shi will allow you to contend with me, then you are greatly mistaken. I might as well tell you, I have long since entered the fifth stage of the Skin Tempering Realm. My skin has been trained to be impenetrable, and even knives and swords cannot pierce it. Hmph, even if I were to stand here and let you attack me, with your abilities, you wouldn't be able to harm me."

  "Are you crazy or not? Are you arrogant or not? Have you been hurt or not? You'll know soon enough."

  Lin Xi said calmly. The calm tone revealed a soaring arrogance.

  Wang Yuehe heard this and was furious, but then he burst out laughing:

  "Alright! The elders are constrained by their status and can't teach you a lesson. As your senior fellow disciple, I'll take it upon myself to give you a good scolding on behalf of the seniors. Let's see what you're really capable of. How dare you be so arrogant and look down on others!"

  Wang Yuehe finished speaking and immediately took action without hesitation.

  Boom!

  Wang Yuehe's foot stomped the ground, causing a violent tremor. The thick stone slab beneath him cracked like it was being trampled by a giant beast, shattering with a loud crack. Wang Yuehe's body sprang up and he instantly shot towards Lin Xi like lightning. The distance between them narrowed in an instant.

  "Hey!"

  Wang Yuehe let out a thunderous roar, and with one move, he unleashed the "Nu Hai Jing Tao Fist", a technique that only disciples of the Wu Lei Pai's Ren Pi Jing could learn. His two hands chopped down simultaneously, executing the "Giant Wave Strangling" move, chopping forward.

  A master's move is known as soon as it's made. Wang Yuehe's move was incredibly fast and powerful. His two fists were like two large paddles stirring up a stormy sea, rushing towards Lin Xi.

  This move was made, and the momentum was shocking. Within several meters in front of Wang Yue's body, all were those chaotic and violent fist forces. It was like a giant wave in a storm, one strike would heavily injure Lin Xi. Using absolute strength to defeat the opponent with one blow.

  Bang!

  Facing Wang Yuehe's powerful attack, Lin Xi remained calm and composed, not flinching in the slightest. Just as Wang Yuehe's double fists were about to strike, he suddenly contracted his body, lightly vaulted, and instantly slipped out of Wang Yuehe's fist power gap like a nimble cat.

  His movements were as swift and agile as a flowing cloud, extremely nimble. Even the elderly and disciples who were watching from the sidelines felt an illusion. It was as if Lin Xi had transformed into a wild cat, suddenly startled, and leapt onto the big tree beside him.

  This move is exactly the "Raccoon Cat Climbing Tree" in Chinese martial arts, and in Lin Xi's hands, it is even more pure and skilled. It can be used to attack or defend.

  "Nowhere to escape!"

  Wang Yuehe reacted quickly and countered with a swift chop, followed by two moves from the "Furious Sea and Shocking Waves Fist" technique.

  "Huge wave crashes!"

  "Undercurrents are surging!"

  These two moves shook the heavens and the void seemed to turn into waves. Wang Yuehe was like a giant sea monster, stirring up endless waves, chopping towards Lin Xi.

  His power is immense, every move is grand and powerful. It's like an ancient giant beast trampling the earth. He wants to crush Lin Xi under his feet.

  The strong of the fifth layer of martial arts, the muscles, bones and skin of the whole body are greatly enhanced. It's far from what Meng Shi can compare to. To some extent, it can be described as copper skin and iron bone. The current Wang Yuehe is almost a humanoid ancient fierce beast.

  Such a strong man, on the battlefield, is a peerless and unmatched figure who can be a general. Wang Yuehe used it to deal with Lin Xi at this time, almost like a lion fighting a rabbit, using all his strength.
