City: Start practicing Chinese martial arts

After Xia Linxi left, the audience fell into a brief silence, as if time had stood still. Then, thunderous applause erupted, echoing throughout the venue. People stood up and clapped vigorously, their faces filled with excitement and delight.

Meanwhile, Xia Linxi's outstanding performance caught the attention of the higher-ranking figures on the platform. Several of these individuals were the Ten Bosses from the original novel, "Under One Person." They stared at Xia Linxi sharply, their eyes gleaming with thought.

They began to converse in low voices, discussing the young girl's strength and potential. Some praised her performance, believing she could become a powerful figure of the future; others remained wary, fearing she would upset the existing balance of power, though this balance was only what they perceived. Some even sought to steal Xia Linxi's skills. However, Xia Linxi had already successfully captured their attention.

On the other side, on the Feng family's platform, Feng Zhenghao said to his daughter Feng Shayan, "Shayan, how is it? Are you confident? You will play against her in the next game."

Hearing this, Feng Shayan looked at Xia Linxi below, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in her eyes, and she said solemnly to Feng Zhenghao: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't lose."

Hearing this, Feng Zhenghao nodded, then looked at Xia Linxi below, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes. I wonder what he was thinking about?

On the Lu family's platform, Lu Linglong watched the entire battle of Xia Linxi and said to Lu Jin beside her: "Grandpa, that little sister named Xia Linxi is so powerful!"

Hearing this, Lu Jin nodded and said, "That's really good. Linglong, you can make friends with her if you have the chance." At the same time, seeing Xia Linxi's strength, he became more curious about Lin Tian.

Hearing this, Lu Linglong nodded and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely get to know her."

……

Noticing that some people were looking at Xia Linxi with malicious eyes, Lin Tian knew that she was being targeted by these people.

Because they had never heard of the name Xia Linxi before, they thought she was just a lucky person with no background. Of course, some people might guess that she came from a hidden force, but most people couldn't resist their inner greed.

As for Lin Jiu, almost none of these people knew his identity. After all, Lin Jiu had lived in seclusion for many years, cut off from the outside world. Lu Jin had only heard of Lin Jiu because of Zheng Zibu. He had paid special attention to information related to the Maoshan Sect, but he didn't know much about Lin Jiu himself.

Faced with these circumstances, Lin Tian acted without hesitation. He directly unleashed a powerful soul secret technique on those who harbored ill intentions towards Xia Linxi. This secret technique's primary function was to place a restriction deep within their souls. If they attempted to harm Xia Linxi, the restriction would erupt as soon as they took action, sending them to their doom.

As Lin Tian moved, obscure rays of light shot out from his hands, accurately hitting those who had ill intentions. These people had no idea that they had become Lin Tian's target. Their fate changed at this moment. Life or death depended on their own thoughts.

Due to the huge gap in strength, no one present could notice Lin Tian’s actions, including the old Taoist priest and Lin Jiu.

Although to Lin Tian these people were ants and it didn't matter whether he killed them or not, in order to live a peaceful life in the future without being disturbed by them, Lin Tian still used this method.

Some might think Lin Tian's actions were too ruthless, considering those people hadn't actually acted on their actions, merely harboring evil thoughts. However, Lin Tian disagreed. He firmly believed that from the moment these people harbored evil thoughts, their fate was sealed. Furthermore, as long as they didn't take any actions that would harm Xia Linxi, they could still survive.

More importantly, the future is full of uncertainties, and no one can predict what will happen. Therefore, Lin Tiancai decided to prepare for the rainy day and take preemptive action.

Not long after, Xia Linxi walked gracefully to Lin Tian's side. Her cold face melted instantly and she showed a bright smile.

She cheerfully asked Lin Tian and Li Shiya: "Lin Tian, Sister Shiya, what do you think of my performance?"

Lin Tian raised the corners of his mouth and responded with satisfaction: "Excellent, keep it up!"

Li Shiya also smiled and nodded in praise, "That's really good. I'll also end the battle quickly later."

Lin Jiu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but give Xia Linxi a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Xiaoxi, I never thought that after just a few months of not seeing you, your strength has improved so dramatically."

Hearing Lin Jiu's words, Xia Linxi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Jiu. However, I was able to make such rapid progress thanks to Lin Tian's help."

After hearing what Xia Linxi said, Lin Tian replied: "It mainly depends on your own efforts."

……

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the match in another ring ended. Then it was Li Siya's turn to compete on stage.

Hearing the referee calling her name, Li Siya greeted Lin Tian and others and walked towards the competition venue.

In this match, Li Siya's opponent is Wang Bing.

Although there are no so-called "Ten Lords" in this world, the Wang family still has a certain status in the martial arts world.

The most crucial factor was the powerful strength displayed by Wang Ai. Through Lin Tian's careful investigation, it was confirmed that Wang Ai's cultivation had reached the level of a Grandmaster.

However, it should be pointed out that Li Yingjun's uncle, Li Baojia, had previously mentioned that Ah Xing and Huoyun Evil God were the only two publicly recognized Grandmasters, due to their widespread fame in the martial arts world. However, Wang Ai and the others were more active in the alien world.

As a part of the martial arts world, the alien world's members are called aliens, and they like to call their circle the alien world.

It is precisely because of the Wang family's status in the martial arts world and their transcendent position in the world of extraordinary people that Wang Bing's personality remains largely unchanged from the original novel. He is arrogant and conceited, believing that no one in the world can defy his will. He believes that he can and should have whatever he wants.

As Li Siya entered the competition venue, Wang Bing, who was standing on the other side, was instantly attracted by her beauty.

Li Shiya was already very beautiful, and after practicing the Phoenix Technique, her appearance had further grown and developed, and now she could be said to be stunningly beautiful. Of course, the same was true for Xia Linxi.

Wang Bing was originally a dandy boy, and he certainly had no self-control for such beauty. So, he said, "Little beauty, what is your name?"

After hearing this, Li Siya frowned slightly, but did not answer. She didn't want to waste time talking to him, she just wanted to get it over with quickly.

"I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?" Wang Bing said angrily when he saw Li Shiya didn't say anything. He felt that he was being ignored, which made him very unhappy.

Hearing this, Li Shiya glanced at him calmly and said, "Am I deaf, or are you? Didn't the referee say that just now?"

Hearing this, Wang Bing became even angrier. He yelled at Li Siya, "How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am? I'm Wang Bing, from the Wang family!" There was a hint of threat and arrogance in his voice, as if telling Li Siya that she had offended someone she shouldn't have.

However, Li Siya was not intimidated by Wang Bing's momentum. She still looked at him calmly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Bing assumed that Li Shiya didn't know his background, so he proudly introduced himself. "You may not know who I am, but I'm Wang Bing, from the Wang family. Our Wang family is one of the four great families, possessing endless wealth and power. If you follow me, I promise you'll have everything you want. What do you think? Consider it?"

Li Shiya listened to Wang Bing's words with a look of disgust on her face. Then, she said coldly, "Do you still want to compete? If you don't want to compete, just admit defeat and stop wasting my time."

Wang Bing's face darkened when he heard Li Shiya's rude words. He hadn't expected this woman to be so ungrateful and completely disrespectful to him.
