The golden light transformed into an umbrella shield once more, repelling the thunder's attack...

Xia Linyuan had no golden light protecting him; all the golden light on his body was concentrated in the weapon in his hand, making the golden light intense.

After a brief stalemate between the golden light and the thunder, the thunder finally ran out of steam and gave up.

Xia Linyuan looked at his own golden light, which had also become dilapidated...

He then looked at Zhang Chulan, inwardly sighing.

Significant progress indeed. No wonder the Heavenly Master spared no expense to protect him.

Zhang Chulan was shocked to see Xia Linyuan completely unharmed. He was right in front of him; she was no match for him at all...

If only I hadn't neglected my training...

Will I be as strong as him?

Zhang Chulan's heart wavered.

All eyes were fixed on Zhang Chulan. This was the experience he feared most, a feeling like being torn apart by a thousand knives...

'Ugh...so many people are staring at me, stop looking at me, it's disgusting, so annoying....'

'I've always known Xia Linyuan's strength; I'm no match for him. I don't dare face him head-on... so I've used every trick in the book—schemes, tricks, pleading for sympathy...'

'In the end, I still have to face him directly. Xia Linyuan, what's wrong with you...?'

Zhang Chulan thought darkly deep inside.

Suddenly feeling a gaze, she looked up and met Feng Baobao's eyes.

'If Bao'er were to face Xia Linyuan... oh right, even Bao'er couldn't beat him. It's probably a situation where she has no choice but to confront Xia Linyuan...'

'Her reaction should be... just go for it...'

'It stems from purity... Eating is eating, sleeping is sleeping, fighting is fighting... I will only ever do one thing, and I will only ever do one thing....'

Looking at Xia Linyuan, who had remained calm and composed throughout, Zhang Chulan slowly stood up. At this moment, Zhang Chulan seemed to have realized something. His demeanor subtly changed.

'Xia Linyuan, you see me as a mirror, and today I see you as a mirror too. The one I'm fighting against isn't you, but myself, who hasn't wasted twelve years...'

There's only one thing I need to do... and that is...

Overcome yourself...

To reach the pinnacle of my potential right now...

Surpass him! Defeat him!

Xia Linyuan also sensed Zhang Chulan's change and breathed a sigh of relief....

If Zhang Chulan's performance was only up to that level, then it would be unreasonable for me to lose no matter what....

And Zhang Chulan's eyes now... are they more insightful and restrained?

Xia Linyuan was slightly puzzled, and white flames slowly appeared in his eyes, but before he could observe them, Zhang Chulan unleashed an astonishing electromagnetic force...

Xia Linyuan's expression was cold, but he was secretly delighted; finally, they had shown him something real...

'Finally, I can go home from get off work.'

The conference is over. I still need to find my master and the others, deal with the Quanxing... deal with the Wang family... and that troublemaker in South China.

'The scene at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony went on for too long...'

'It's time to give it a perfect opening.'

'Zhang Chulan, with such a sharp mind, this time you'd better cooperate and put on a good show.'

After investigating Feng Baobao's background, go back to being a proper exorcist master...

"Thunder VIP membership!"

Zhang Chulan roared, his figure transforming into a streak of lightning as he charged towards Xia Linyuan. Xia Linyuan's figure loomed larger, a golden ruler swirling in his hand...

He slapped Zhang Chulan back.

'Too slow...faster...'

Zhang Chulan's body transformed into an arc of lightning, swirling around Xia Linyuan to confuse him, allowing him to launch another surprise attack from behind.

But Xia Linyuan still ruthlessly slapped him back...

'I still saw it... You should have been faster and hit me once, then this whole thing would have ended perfectly.'

Zhang Chulan was engrossed in the battle, constantly increasing his speed and launching continuous attacks on Xia Linyuan. The little white serpent, working in perfect harmony with Zhang Chulan's movements, displayed impeccable coordination between man and snake...

They charged at Xia Linyuan again and again, snapping back again and again...

The ground gradually became covered with scratches and bloodstains.

Bang! Bang! Bang.....

The sound of the heavy ruler striking Zhang Chulan echoed again and again...

Everyone was worried that Zhang Chulan might be beaten to death...

Zhang Chulan's body was half covered in blood, and his clothes were tattered... It was heartbreaking to see.

"Hey, Zhang Chulan, why are you still charging forward...?"

"I don't know, is this Zhang Chulan?"

"I hope Ah Lian didn't really kill him...."

Gradually, whispers began to circulate among the audience. They didn't want to see Zhang Chulan win, but all of this was based on the assumption that he was a lazy bum who only knew how to slack off.

But now their perspective has changed; they've witnessed Zhang Chulan's strength and his unwavering will...

They even imagined things that they thought were impossible.

Perhaps this is the real Zhang Chulan... all his previous matches were to conceal his true strength... this is Zhang Chulan's wisdom...

"Master... I hope these two kids aren't really fighting..."

Seeing Zhang Chulan's miserable state, Lu Jin gasped. Could this lead to someone's death...? However, given that this was the Celestial Master's Mansion, it wouldn't be appropriate to overstep his bounds. Looking at the old Celestial Master, he tentatively asked, "Should we... call a halt?"

The old master glanced at the indifferent Xia Linyuan, then at the reactions of everyone present, and slowly shook his head: "No need, don't let the child's good intentions go to waste."

Little Lin Yuan, you're very thoughtful.

Intentional?

Lu Jin looked at the arena with slight confusion.

'Faster...get out of my sight...'

Xia Linyuan simply swung his heavy ruler, knocking Zhang Chulan back. Even though Zhang Chulan's head was bleeding profusely, he remained conscious.

Zhang Chulan had exhausted all his methods... he could only charge towards Xia Linyuan while keeping his options open... He didn't even know why he was doing something so contrary to his own personality...

He doesn't want to lose!

'If you can't shake my gaze, then target my eyes...'

'Aren't you despicable? You're capable of doing something like targeting my eyes...'

'Targeting my eyes...'

Zhang Chulan's body emitted a crackling sound of electricity... He continued running. He was knocked back countless times; scratches were left all over the ground, centered on Xia Linyuan...

'Target them! Target them! Target them…'

Watching Zhang Chulan charge forward again and again without understanding the situation, Xia Linyuan's anger accumulated to the point of being indescribable.

Looking at Zhang Chulan is like a director watching an actor who doesn't follow the script and feeling angry.

So this time, Xia Linyuan didn't retaliate. Instead, he dissipated the heavy ruler, golden light covering his hand, grabbed Zhang Chulan, and said angrily in a low voice, "You're targeting my eyes!"

Zhang Chulan, his consciousness hazy, slowly looked up upon hearing Xia Linyuan's voice.

When he met Xia Linyuan's eyes, he seemed to vaguely see an ancient beast roaring at him in Xia Linyuan's eyes...

Zhang Chulan remained completely unfazed, grinning as blood flowed from his mouth: "I originally wanted to do it honorably..."

After saying that, he collapsed.

Xia Linyuan was taken aback. Then, a small white snake rushed towards Xia Linyuan with lightning speed.

Xia Linyuan chuckled inwardly. "You think you can defeat me fair and square?"

You could never...

Xia Linyuan gave up dodging. The little white worm passed right through his body...

Xia Linyuan was struck by the lightning snake and fell heavily to the ground... He pretended to faint.

The audience was shocked by the result.

"My god, Zhang Chulan is so cunning! He held out for so long just to wait for Xia Linyuan to let his guard down! I wonder how long that lightning serpent accumulated its energy before it could strike Xia Linyuan in one blow!"

"Ah Lian, you're awesome!"

"This young man is incredibly resilient and courageous. He's risked everything just to gamble on that one tiny chance!"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, all agreeing that it was a race between the tortoise and the hare, with the proud hare losing to the tenacious tortoise.
