Some things were easier said than done. When carrying it out by themselves, they would find the real underlying difficulties.

Just like at this time, Yue Zhongtian wanted to completely resist this attack by exerting all strength of his Earth-gang Realm cultivation.

But he had apparently underestimated the power of Lin Xun’s attack. Just for a moment, Yue Zhongtian seemed to be oppressed by a mountain. His bones creaked with unbearable sounds as the shock was too terrible. His face was twisted, and every inch of his skin was about to burst.

In the eyes of all the people present, Yue Zhongtian felt as if he was bailing out the ocean with a bucket, or like a centipede who was trying to shake a big tree. It seemed he would fall at any moment.

Many people had been shocked and became speechless. It was impossible to imagine how Lin Xun’s attack could be so terrible that it made it difficult for the strong first-class people in Earth-gang Realm to move forward.

Boom!

Eventually, under the gaze of all eyes, Yue Zhongtian coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body was suddenly lifted up against his wishes.

After rotating in the air, he was slapped out of the platform with closed eyes.

Then, he was smashed on the ground more than 33 meters away from the platform. He was convulsing all over and was unable to get up again!

The audience was shocked, and the whole venue turned silent. They stared at Yue Zhongtian and couldn’t believe their eyes.

Yue Zhongtian was really defeated and thrown out of the platform in only one blow!

Who could believe it before?

Gulp~

At that moment, a group of practitioners in the assessment area could not help swallowing saliva and were turned silly by this scene.

It was too fierce!

What on earth did Lin Xun do?

Even an Earth-gang practitioner with Cloud & Light Steps was powerless to stop Lin Xun. He was totally a monster!

“He must have used a top-level old secret method. Otherwise, it is impossible to have such might.”

On the White Jade platform, Liu Wujun’s eyes were cold, but his words were full of amazement. It seemed that he was quite surprised by Lin Xun’s performance.

Other big shots were also in a perplexed mood. They had witnessed the match between Lin Xun and Huang Jianchen and were amazed at the strength Lin Xun possessed. But compared with the original, the power he showed at this time was obviously more appalling.

It was unlike anything a teenager could possess!

“Yue Zhongtian shot himself on his foot. He not only lost the bet but also lost the test. And what’s more, he lost all his reputation and 10,000 gold coins to Lin Xun. What a tragedy!”

Du Dongtu laughed lightly.

“Yue Zhongtian’s temperament is a bit wild, and he always treats others with contempt. It’s a good thing for him to encounter this failure. Fortunately, he is only sixteen years old. It’s okay to wait for the next year’s Province Test.”

Wei Lingzhen commented. He was the dean of Mist College and naturally knew Yue Zhongtian.

Soon, the silent atmosphere of the court was broken, and countless loud sounds were made.

“Damn, this Lin Xun is too fierce. When he defeated Tan Long last time, he used a battle saber. This time, he swatted Yue Zhongtian out in one move with bare hands!”

“Alas, added to that, Lin Xun can defeat opponents higher than his cultivation. Compared with him, those geniuses are not worth watching at all.”

“There are people beyond people and heavens beyond the heavens. Lin Xun’s performance at this moment perfectly interpreted what a real genius should be like!”

In the midst of all this discussion, Lin Xun stepped down from the platform and came to Yue Zhongtian, who was lying on the ground. He said, “Look, I warned you earlier, but you didn’t listen to me. Don’t complain now after falling from grace.”

Yue Zhong was pale, and his eyes were full of frustration and anger after failure. Hearing Lin Xun’s talking, he shivered with rage and said, “You… You’ve gone too far!”

Lin Xun chuckled and said, “Too far? You’re wrong; it’s tit for tat. You know I didn’t provoke you today. It was you who took the initiative to come and provoke me. Do you really think I’m so broad-minded and won’t care about that?”

Yue Zhongtian’s face changed. Only now did he realize that what Lin Xun had done was a retaliation to his provocation before.

Wasn’t this guy too grudge-bearing?

Lin Xun won the test and became the focus of attention. Yue Zhongtian was now wholly discredited and lost his face tragically. However, Lin Xun even remembered to take his revenge on Yue Zhongtian; it… it was an eye for an eye!

“Don’t be angry. Rather, you should be grateful that it is the Province Test. Otherwise, your fate would not be so simple. By the way, remember to send me ten thousand gold coins after the examination.”

Lin Xun patted him on the shoulder with a beaming smile, got up, and went back to the examination area.

Watching Lin Xun’s departing figure, Yue Zhongtian’s face changed with uncertainty. He finally sighed, knowing that he had barked up the wrong tree this time. A ruthless person like Lin Xun was not someone who could be scrutinized beforehand.

…

This match caused by an absurd bet ended with the blow of Lin Xun’s Mountain Destruction.

And this was also the first time that Nine Strikes for Shaking Heaven appeared in the world, which caused a great sensation and shocked every practitioner present.

The audience’s impression of Lin Xun had changed once again. In the past, they despised the cooperative propaganda between Lin Xun and Golden Hall. However, now, even if they still scorned them, they could only hide it in their hearts.

This was power! This was might!

Once he proved his fighting prowess, it would affect numerous people’s opinions invisibly, which was one of the reasons why many practitioners were so persistent and crazy about power.

When returning to the assessment area, many of the practitioners looked different. They appeared more and more terrified while peering at Lin Xun as if they were staring at a brutal beast.

This was also normal. After defeating Huang Jianchen, Lin Xun became a brilliant, young, formidable man overnight, and he was recognized as the most dreadful opponent in the Province Test.

If this saying was an exaggeration before, after the first and second rounds, the practitioners had thoroughly realized how horrific Lin Xun was.

In such cases, who dared to underestimate Lin Xun was absolutely a fool.

Even Shue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing, Le Zhiyou, and Yun Zitong, the top performers who were in the Heaven-gang Realm, began to attach importance to Lin Xun at this moment.

So what was the matter with Lin Xun’s Human-gang Realm? Looking at his performance in the battles, they knew that Lin Xun was a devilish teenager whose strength couldn’t be measured by virtue of self-cultivation displayed on the surface.

…

Standing still in the examination area, Lin Xun ignored all the different gazes around him. He was thinking about the details of the battle just now.

This time, he could defeat the opponent at one stroke by using RFS as well, but that would expose his Assassin’s Mace.

However, Nine Strikes of Shaking Heaven was totally different. Lin Xun’s insights into the secret method inherited from the ancient seal fragments had just stepped into the Initiation Stage, and he could only exert about one-tenth of its power.

Therefore, even if it was exposed, it was difficult to judge the real power of this skill by other people if they didn’t know the underlying mysteries of this skill.

While thinking, Lin Xun looked at the stage.

This time he did not leave because he would start the third round immediately after the end of the second round.

The third round of assessment was called ‘One in Six’. That was to say, every six practitioners would be gathered into one group, and then they would go to the platform for tests. Of the six, only one practitioner who stuck to the last could enter the final round of assessment.

Simply put, it was to let six practitioners fight together till the last one, who won the final battle, would be able to enter the next round of evaluation.

There was no time limit for One in Six, nor was it forbidden for practitioners to fight in teams. There was no particularly cruel rule.

But as long as one carefully thought about it, they would discover that this round was really savage. Six people’s battle would cause many situations. Even if someone’s fighting prowess was strong, one should have to be prepared for other practitioners to gang up on him.

Lin Xun had a feeling that when the One in Six round began, people in his group would surely gather together to get rid of him first!

This was also something he could not prevent. He was too eye-catching today, and it was natural for him to become an eyesore.

With the passage of time, at night, the second round of assessment finally came to an end.

In this assessment, 1,400 people were eliminated, leaving only 1,200!

The losers had become the target of all the major forces.

The winners became more noticeable, and the third round of assessment would soon be commenced.

It was worth mentioning that, after the first two rounds of elimination, among 1,200 remaining people, the number of Human-gang Realm practitioners had decreased sharply, while the number of Earth-gang and Heaven-gang Realm had hardly changed.

Of course, unless Yue Zhongtian, an unlucky ghost, met Lin Xun again, he was likely to enter the third round of assessment smoothly.

Anyway, those who could survive until this stage were all elites, the geniuses in people’s mouth.

Lin Xun was delighted to find that among Wen Mingxiu’s group, Qi Yunxiao and Yuan Shu had been eliminated in the second round of assessment.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, he saw Lian Fei get into the third round of assessment!

After two years of disappearance, he had obviously become stronger than before, which could be seen from his entrance in the third round.

The rare thing was that Lian Fei was also a Human-gang Realm practitioner!

“It seems that this fellow, who has been following Yao Tuohai for two years, has obviously been attached great importance to so that he could achieve what he has today.”

Lin Xun was thoughtful. On his first day in Mist City, he knew, from the central spiritual screen, that Lian Fei was now the son-in-law of Yao Tuohai, a great practitioner in Tao Insight Ream. When he was promoted to Human-gang Realm, he had accumulated a second-level Pond of Spiritual Power.

Lian Fei’s accomplishments were bound to Yao Tuohai’s cultivation.

At the thought of Yao Tuohai, Lin Xun’s heart surged with sharp killing intent. He had almost killed him and Shia Zhi when he was taking part in the County Test in Donglin Town.
