Rise of the Otherworld.

Facing the mysterious man's sudden strange spell, Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly resisted with all his strength. The black light came fiercely, carrying an evil aura, and instantly enveloped Lin Yu.

Lin Yu felt a huge pressure coming at him, as if it was about to crush him. He gritted his teeth and desperately mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, forming a solid shield in front of him. The shield flashed with a light blue light, colliding with the black light, making a crackling sound.

"boom!"

The black light collided with the shield with a loud noise. The powerful impact made Lin Yu retreat repeatedly, and his feet left deep marks on the ring. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and every step back required great effort.

Su Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes full of worry. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. "Lin Yu, you must hold on!" She prayed silently in her heart.

Seeing this, the mysterious man's eyes flashed with pride. He took advantage of the victory and cast a more powerful spell again. For a moment, the ring was full of light and energy fluctuations. Black light, like a venomous snake, snaked towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's clothes were soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat continued to roll down his forehead, dripping onto the ground and evaporating instantly. But his eyes became more determined, revealing an unyielding will. At this critical moment, he suddenly remembered the insights he gained while practicing the peerless skills. It was a deep understanding of strength and a fearless challenge to adversity.

"Put yourself in a desperate situation and then you can survive!" Lin Yu muttered to himself. He stopped defending blindly and gathered all the spiritual energy in his body into his palm, ready to launch a fatal attack. His arm trembled slightly, that was because of the pressure caused by the excessive concentration of spiritual energy.

The mysterious man thought Lin Yu was exhausted and relaxed his vigilance. A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, as if victory was already in his grasp. At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly rushed forward, as fast as lightning. His figure turned into a phantom and instantly passed through the black light.

"Take my move!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice like thunder. The spiritual energy in his hand turned into a bright light and blasted straight towards the mysterious man. This light was like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire arena, making it impossible to look directly at it.

The mysterious man's face changed drastically, and he was horrified to find that he could no longer dodge. He tried to cast a spell to resist again, but it was too late.

"boom!"

The light collided with the mysterious figure, creating a deafening roar. The entire arena trembled violently, as if on the verge of collapse. The powerful energy surge spread outward, stirring up a gust of wind that rustled the clothes of the audience below.

The thick smoke made it difficult to see what was happening on the ring. Everyone waited nervously, their hearts seemingly stopping. Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed to stretch so long.

After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and Lin Yu was seen standing in the center of the ring. Although his body was covered with scars and his clothes were tattered, his expression was firm, like an undefeated god of war. The mysterious man fell to the ground, his breath weak, his mask broken, revealing a face full of fear and unwillingness.

There was a sudden burst of cheers from the audience.

"Lin Yu! Lin Yu!"

The crowd cheered his name, the sound deafening.

Su Yao jumped up excitedly, her eyes full of joy and pride. Her tears welled up in her eyes, moved by Lin Yu's victory.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his body swaying slightly. He felt a wave of fatigue coming over him, but he still tried to maintain his standing posture and slowly walked down the ring.

Su Yao came forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she held Lin Yu's arm tightly with both hands.

Lin Yu shook his head, showing a tired smile, and said: "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

This competition made Lin Yu's reputation spread rapidly in the city, and also attracted the attention of some forces.

A few days later, Lin Yu received a mysterious invitation. When he opened it, he found that it was from a powerful sect in the city inviting him to join. The words on the invitation were written in a flourish, revealing a sense of majesty and mystery.

Lin Yu fell into deep thought. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, but it also meant more challenges and unknowns. There were so many masters in the sect, the competition was bound to be fierce, and the internal relationships were complicated.

After some thought, Lin Yu decided to accept the invitation. He understood that only in a stronger environment could he improve his strength faster.

He said goodbye to Su Yao and embarked on a new journey. Su Yao's eyes were full of reluctance, but she knew that Lin Yu had his own pursuits and missions.

In the sect, Lin Yu met many outstanding disciples and strict teachers. The cultivation resources here were rich, but the rules were also numerous. He continued to work hard to cultivate, studying the skills diligently every day to improve his strength.

However, harmony was not unanimous within the sect. Some disciples, jealous of Lin Yu's talent and achievements, began to secretly hinder him. They tampered with Lin Yu's practice room, disrupting his cultivation; when assigning tasks, they deliberately gave him the most dangerous ones.

Lin Yu knew these people's thoughts very well, but he was not defeated by these little tricks. On the contrary, he practiced harder and used his strength to prove himself.

In a sect's internal competition, Lin Yu once again demonstrated his amazing strength, leaving those disciples who envied him speechless. But this also made them hate Lin Yu even more, and conspiracies were brewing in secret.

Can Lin Yu gain a foothold in the sect and continue his rise?
