As the referee's shout fell, Lei Li's expression grew even colder. Dense Origin Power light flickered across the surface of his body, and the degree of those Origin Power fluctuations was clearly not something the ninth layer of Body Tempering could compare to.

"So he really is at the Earth Origin Realm..."

Seeing Lei Li's display, waves of astonished cries rang out around Beast Horn Arena. On Lei Bao's face, a smug smile surfaced even more clearly.

However, before the smile on his face could spread to its fullest, it slowly stiffened, because he saw that Lin Dong's body had actually begun to flicker with waves of Origin Power light as well. Those dense fluctuations were not the slightest bit weaker than Lei Li's!

"Lin Dong has broken through to the Earth Origin Realm?!"

When Origin Power surged over Lin Dong's body, the entire Beast Horn Arena erupted. Shock appeared in countless gazes. Lei Li being at the Earth Origin Realm did not surprise them too much. However, no one had ever expected that Lin Dong, who had only risen to prominence in the Lin Family over the past half year, had actually reached this step as well!

At this moment, everyone's gazes turned toward Lin Yan. As one of the Lin Family Double Heroes as well, Lin Dong had already unexpectedly broken through to the Earth Origin Realm. If Lin Yan were still at the Body Tempering stage, then this battle clearly would no longer have much to do with him.

In that case, Lin Dong would cast off the title of double heroes and become the Lin Family's number one genius. One step behind meant every step behind. As for Lin Yan, he might slowly be forgotten by the forgetful world.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes from the crowd, Lin Yan smiled faintly and did not say a word. However, in the next second, a deep surge of Origin Power fluctuations suddenly erupted from his body. When everyone sensed that wave of Origin Power, their expressions instantly changed in shock.

"Lin Yan is at the Earth Origin Realm too!"

Beast Horn Arena, which had just calmed down, once again burst into uproar because of Lin Yan. No one had expected that these two geniuses of the Lin Family, who had risen for only half a year, had both broken through to the Earth Origin Realm.

At this moment, everyone looked at Lei Bao with sympathy. It seemed that this always shrewd head of the Lei Family had bitten off more than he could chew this time. Now that both of the Lin Family Double Heroes were at the Earth Origin Realm, so what if Lei Li had a little more martial arts experience? One against two—the situation was probably about to reverse.

When Lei Bao saw the situation on the field, his expression also changed at once. Although he had long since sensed the threat posed by Lin Yan and Lin Dong, he had not expected that threat to arrive so quickly.

Immediately, a trace of icy killing intent could not help but appear deep in his eyes. At the same time, he thought with some relief, Good thing I prepared for this in advance. That thing cost my Lei Family more than half of its stored savings. Li'er, I hope you don't disappoint me...

On the other side, where the Lin Family was seated, the teacup in Lin Zhentian's hand fell straight to the ground and shattered to pieces. He stared dumbfounded at the two youthful figures in the arena, his mouth twitching rapidly several times, yet he was actually unable to say a single word.

"When did Lin Yan and Lin Dong step into the Earth Origin Realm?" Lin Ken and Lin Mang felt their mouths go a little dry, then their gazes turned in unison toward Lin Xiao beside them.

"This... I don't know either..."

Facing the two men's stares, a somewhat stiff smile also rose on Lin Xiao's face. The palm resting on his thigh was actually trembling nonstop. An incomparable pride surged in his heart, so excited that his entire body shook.

Beside him, Lin Xia, Lin Hong, and the other Lin Family juniors had long since opened their mouths wide. The light in their eyes faintly carried a hint of fervor.

"No wonder the two of them dared to accept this match..." Lin Ken looked at Lin Zhentian in front of him and murmured, "Father, our Lin Family has produced two extraordinary geniuses. Now that Lin Yan and Lin Dong are both at the Earth Origin Realm, two against one, their chances of winning are very high!"

Lin Zhentian silently nodded. His trembling hands wiped the water stains on his clothes. However, when he noticed Lei Bao's calm face not far away, a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart, and he said coolly, "Don't be careless. That old Lei ghost has always been extremely shrewd in how he acts. Be careful in case something unexpected happens midway."

Hearing this, Lin Ken and Lin Mang shook their heads unconcernedly. In full view of everyone, what tricks could the Lei Family use? Only Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

As for the dense shock and clamor outside the field, Lin Dong was not distracted in the slightest. However, although he had long anticipated Lin Yan breaking through to the Earth Origin Realm, it still left Lin Dong somewhat startled.

One had to know that his own breakthrough to the Earth Origin Realm had been an extremely coincidental matter. In comparison, Lin Yan's cultivation speed was truly terrifying.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan, at the side, looked coldly at Lei Li. He wanted to see exactly what methods the Lei Family had prepared when, even with his own interference, they were still this confident.

"Lin Yan, Lin Dong, it's still too early for you to be getting smug!"

The bursts of clamor outside the field made Lei Li feel uncomfortable in every possible way. Facing two Earth Origin Realm experts, even he began to feel somewhat lacking in confidence. However, when he recalled Lei Bao's personal instructions earlier, a vicious expression appeared on Lei Li's face.

Lei Li's steps suddenly shot forward. At this moment, his palms bent into a strange arc, and as his ten fingers flexed and struck, they were like poisonous snakes swaying their heads. Coupled with the enhancement of Origin Power, when his palms rubbed through the air, faint sounds of tearing wind actually rang out.

The Lei Family's Spirit Snake Palm was a second-grade martial art. Its moves leaned toward sinister softness and viciousness. After breaking through to the Earth Origin Realm, the might of Lei Li's move was even three parts stronger than the third-grade martial art Mount Tai Overturn he had used at the Trading Fair last time.

Facing Lei Li's somewhat sharp offensive, Lin Yan and Lin Dong's expressions did not change. After exchanging a tacit glance, they charged straight up to meet force with force.

With a thought, Lin Yan's palms rose slightly upright, and the stance of Eight Desolations Palm rapidly unfolded. His palms danced, Fire Force hidden within them. The fierce palm wind seemed to form an invisible vortex, scattering all the dust on the nearby ground.

At the same time, Lin Dong also swung both hands, soft force rising in all directions. It was impressively Eight Desolations Palm as well!

"Bang bang!"

Eight Desolations Palm met Spirit Snake Palm. In the next moment, they abruptly collided, and Origin Power fluctuations spread violently. Lei Li's two palms faced Lin Yan and Lin Dong's four hands and palms. The three of them crossed and clashed at a dazzling speed, low thuds sounding nonstop.

Under the watch of countless tense gazes, the three figures on the Stone Platform interwove and moved. Every palm was a frontal clash. Their vigorous Origin Power gave each of their palms a ferocious strength capable of smashing mountain rock!

Watching the three figures locked in fierce combat in the arena, many people could not help crying out in astonishment once again. Although their cultivation time was not as long as Lei Li's, whether it was Lin Yan or Lin Dong, in terms of the richness of their own Origin Power as well as their proficiency in martial arts, they were actually not the slightest bit weaker than Lei Li.

In their eyes, either one of the Lin Family Double Heroes could probably contend with Lei Li if picked at random, much less with two against one. Quite a few people had already secretly shaken their heads.

It seemed the Lei Family had kicked an iron plate this time. For the Lin Family to actually have two such great talents, the structure of Qingyang Town would probably undergo a huge change before long.

At this moment, in the arena, facing the combined assault of Lin Yan and Lin Dong, Lei Li's face had already turned red, and he was gradually starting to be unable to hold on.

Lin Yan's palm technique was fierce and forceful, hiding Fire Force within, giving people an incomparably scorching pain, while Lin Dong's palm technique was swift and fierce, hiding soft force, often attacking Lei Li's weak points unexpectedly.

Under the pincer attack of the two, Lei Li became more and more hard-pressed.

"These two boys truly haven't disappointed me!"

Lin Zhentian rubbed his hands together somewhat excitedly. Suddenly, he realized that compared with these two grandsons, the so-called Fire Python Tiger and Ironwood Manor seemed to have become insignificant.

Judging from the talent Lin Yan and Lin Dong had displayed, given time, they would definitely become great figures. At that time, how could a single Qingyang Town possibly bind them?

Compared with the wild joy on Lin Zhentian's side, the Lei and Xie Families' side seemed rather gloomy. Lei Bao and Xie Qian's expressions were both somewhat dark, and the other juniors of the Lei and Xie Families also kept their mouths tightly shut. Especially Xie Ting, who had been slapped by Lin Dong that day, had cheeks that were somewhat pale. Clearly, she had not expected that in just a few short months, Lin Dong would actually already be able to clash head-on with Lei Li without falling into the slightest disadvantage.

"Looking at this situation, it doesn't seem too good, does it? Those two boys from the Lin Family are no pushovers..." Xie Qian moved closer to Lei Bao and said darkly. Facing these outsiders, the Lei and Xie Families had always been firm allies.

Lei Bao's face was as dark as water. His fingers turned a jade thumb ring. A moment later, a trace of cold light flashed through his eyes, and he said sinisterly, "Don't worry. I've already given Lei Li some backup measures. If those two boys want to beat Lei Li, it won't be that simple."

"Papapapa..."

On the Stone Platform, the clash was extremely intense. Lin Yan and Lin Dong's Eight Desolations Palm seals poured down onto Lei Li's body like a rainstorm. Under this all-encompassing attack, Lei Li clearly could no longer hold on. Lin Yan and Lin Dong each struck him with a palm, sending him flying and collapsing on the arena.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spat from Lei Li's mouth. He wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his lips. Then, as if he had thought of something, his gaze flickered several times. A bit of hesitation appeared on Lei Li's face. Immediately, he gritted his teeth, fixed Lin Yan and Lin Dong with a death stare like a venomous wolf, pulled a black, ancient-scented pill from his robe, and directly fed it into his mouth.

"You forced me to do this!"

As soon as the words fell, after Lei Li swallowed that black pill, the injuries on his body vanished from sight. The Origin Power all over him instantly soared, his aura rising several times in a flash like a roller coaster. Even an ordinary mid-stage Earth Origin Realm expert would be no more than this.

Just as Lin Yan was puzzled, Uncle Luo's soul transmission sounded by his ear.

"Rampage Origin Pill? I didn't expect a tiny place like this to still have this kind of pill left behind. Looks like you'll have to be careful, kid."
