Even though the scorching sun had yet to shine directly, the sand on and off the arena seemed to shimmer with a dazzling light. The air was permeated with a scorching heat, and even before the two masters had officially engaged in combat, an endless pressure emanated from them.

Underneath the arena, no one whispered anymore. Everyone was infected by the heavy pressure at this moment, afraid that a slight misstep would trigger the extraordinary individuals on the stage.

Xu Xiangqian, the fourth young master of the Xu family, clenched his fists tightly. His expression was different from the rest, as amidst the astonishment and anger, there seemed to be a trace of bewilderment.

Ever since he advanced to the ninth level of internal energy more than a year ago, he had believed that he was among the top figures in Taicang County. Apart from a few rare individuals, no one else could be regarded as a match for him.

But now, seeing the two figures on the arena, especially feeling the immense aura erupting from Lin Taoli, which surpassed even the Fiery flame Technique, his heart turned icy cold. It turned out that Lin Taoli hadn't used his full strength during their previous exchange.

If he had employed this peculiar technique from the beginning, would Xu Xiangqian have been able to endure for such a long time?

His gaze shifted, and he saw Zhou Yi standing opposite Lin Taoli.

A bitter taste suddenly filled his mouth, extremely bitter...

A fifteen-year-old ninth-level internal energy expert. How did this guy cultivate to such a level?

At this moment, a thought emerged in his mind. His elder brother had encountered this person in the wild mountains more than a year ago. Perhaps at that time, they should have spared no effort to kill him. If they had given this person a few more years, to what extent would he have grown?

Will there really be a day when the Xu Family Fort still exists in the future Taicang County?

Perhaps...

In his heart, a terrifying thought suddenly emerged. Perhaps one day, this child's achievements could surpass even the ancestors. Who could say for certain?

If that time really came, even he couldn't guarantee that the Xu Family Fort would remain as stable as it was now, like Mount Tai.

For a moment, a faint hint of killing intent flickered in his eyes. His gaze swept around, and besides Zhou Quanming and others, the eyes of the rest of the people seemed to reveal a trace of fear.

With a gentle and seemingly powerless voice, Lin Taoli's words came suddenly from the arena, "Arriving without a trace, vanishing without a shadow, elusive and ethereal, the Cloud and Rain seal. Be careful, Brother Zhou."

At the beginning, he had always called Zhou Yi "Little Brother Zhou," but when his internal energy reached the ninth level and Zhou Yi stood his ground without any inferiority, he realized that this person's internal energy cultivation was not beneath his own.

At this moment, he abandoned all his disdain in his heart. Even his way of addressing Zhou Yi subtly changed, referring to him as "Brother Zhou," speaking in a completely equal manner.

Zhou Yi loudly said, "Master Lin, please."

His voice was filled with anticipation, as if he had high hopes for the thunderous strike that was about to erupt. But at this moment, no one dared to call him arrogant anymore.

Lin Taoli's fingers danced, and then he lightly flicked his right index finger.

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat. What kind of martial technique was this? Just as he was filled with uncertainty, his heart suddenly tightened, and his fists flew toward his own chest and abdomen.
