Five days have passed since the collapse of the Flame Demon Space.

Within these five days, the commotion within the Yuan Sect caused by the emergence of the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame not only did not subside, but instead surged even more dramatically.

No one expected that the ancient flame, which even the Three Grand Masters were helpless against and could only choose to seal, would be subdued by a Nirvana Stage disciple.

As a result of this incident, Lin Langtian's reputation within the Yuan Sect soared once again. Not only did he seem to be on par with the Three Young Kings, but he was also hailed as the Fourth Young King of the Yuan Sect.

Little Flame King, Lin Langtian!

Lin Langtian was aware of the saying that a tall tree catches the wind, especially after publicly humiliating Shi Dong, the chief of the Earth Division, that day. Therefore, he kept a low profile and deliberately downplayed his influence in the days that followed.

During this period, Lin Langtian occasionally went to the Fire River to cultivate, but most of the time he stayed indoors in seclusion to cultivate and familiarize himself with the use of the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame. His days were quite leisurely.

However, compared to Lin Langtian's leisurely pace, the cultivation atmosphere within the Eight Divisions was gradually becoming more and more tense, because in just over a month, the most sensational Division Trial within the Yuan Sect would be held...

The Division Trial is a competition to test the strength of the disciples of the Eight Divisions, and the ranking of the Eight Divisions will also be determined by the results of the examination.

Therefore, basically every year Division Trial, the disciples of the Eight Divisions would put in their best effort to cultivate, otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing to suffer a crushing defeat.

Therefore, as the day of the Division Trial drew closer, the cultivation atmosphere within the Yuan Gate Eight Divisions became increasingly intense...

Lin Langtian naturally sensed that atmosphere, but he was not affected by it. His strength had improved quite rapidly during this period, and he had even begun to prepare to break through to the Half-Step Life Profound Stage.

Furthermore, now that he has obtained the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame, his combat power has soared even further. Among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect, apart from Yuan Cang, there is probably no one he can take seriously.

And time passed by in his leisurely manner for several more days.

The days passed uneventfully. Aside from his secluded cultivation, Lin Langtian would occasionally offer guidance to Song Yun and the other two.

Under Lin Langtian's personal guidance, the three of them became increasingly proficient in using the Flame Emperor Canon's Codex. With the enhancement of the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame Sub-Flame, its power was even more remarkable.

In Lin Langtian's view, the only difference between the three of them and the Spirit General level is their cultivation level. If the three of them can break through from the Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage to the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, their strength will be almost no less than that of the other Seven Divisions Spirit General.

If that's the case, then the Fire Division would have four Spirit General, plus the freak Lin Langtian, making its overall strength almost comparable to the other Seven Divisions, forming its own system.

Aside from this minor incident, Lin Langtian's time was uneventful and leisurely, and time passed by peacefully day by day, until one day...

In the softly lit room, Lin Langtian looked at Mo Tie, who had suddenly rushed in in a panic, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Senior Brother, something's happened." Seeing Lin Langtian's calm expression, Mo Tie felt relieved, as if he had found his pillar of support.

"Oh, don't rush, speak slowly," Lin Langtian said calmly.

"Senior Brother Song Yun and the others have been attacked," Mo Tie said in a deep voice.

"Song Yun?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. Song Yun and his group's strength had greatly improved compared to before. Even when facing Spirit General level opponents, they wouldn't suffer much loss. Yet now they had been beaten.

"Who did this?" Lin Langtian asked in a deep voice.

"Yes..." Mo Tie paused slightly, then, under Lin Langtian's direct gaze, he stammered, "It's the Little Thunder King and the Little Spirit King, two of the Three Young Kings."

"The Three Young Kings..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then, as if he had thought of something, he sneered, "It seems that some things cannot be covered up by being low-key. In that case, I will let them see where they get their confidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian stopped delaying, stood up, waved to Mo Tie, and then the two of them flew towards the Martial Arena where the accident had occurred.

The Yuan Sect covers an extremely vast area, and the Martial Arena is a venue specifically used by the Yuan Sect disciples for martial arts competitions and exchanges.

At this moment, there are many huge platforms in the Martial Arena, all of which are used for sparring. However, one of the platforms is now overcrowded with people, a huge, dark mass, and faint noises mixed with anger can be heard.

Call out!

Lin Langtian and his companion swiftly flew in from the distant horizon and landed on the platform.

As soon as the two of them appeared, the Yuan Sect disciples on the platform immediately turned their gazes toward them, and then a look of awe appeared on the faces of all the Yuan Sect disciples.

"Senior Brother Lin Langtian has arrived!"

As the shout rang out, all eyes in the arena turned toward them, their gazes filled with curiosity, shock, and awe.

At the same time, Lin Langtian also landed, and then his gaze turned to the arena.

However, when he looked at Song Yun and the other two, who were bruised and battered like pigs, a gloomy look appeared on his face. He then looked at the three opposite him.

There stood a burly man radiating lightning and a refined young man holding a folding fan; they were none other than Little Thunder King Lei Qian and Little Spirit King Ling Zhen.

Upon seeing Lin Langtian arrive, a triumphant smirk suddenly appeared on Lei Qian's lips. He then waved his right hand, and a terrifying arc of lightning shot towards Song Yun and the other two. Given their current condition, if it hit, they would surely be severely injured.

Just as the lightning arc struck Song Yun and the other two, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the lightning arc, and then squeezed it hard, crushing it to pieces.

Song Yun and the other two were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look at the tall, slender figure. They immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Mo Tie quickly dragged the three of them to a safe area...

"Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner's feelings. Senior Brother Lei Qian, you've dealt such a heavy blow to my Fire Division. Do you think my Fire Division is without anyone?" Lin Langtian slowly withdrew his palm, looked at the Little Thunder King opposite him, and said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian slowly turned his gaze to the red-eyed man behind Lei Qian and Ling Zhen.

This person was none other than Ling Chi, the previous Fire Division Spirit General.

Unsurprisingly, this incident targeting Song Yun and his two companions must have been at this person's suggestion. Otherwise, outsiders wouldn't have been so clear about the factional divisions within the Fire Division, and wouldn't have been able to directly injure three of his capable subordinates.

Ling Chi, being from the Fire Division, actually colluded with outsiders to deal with his own department's disciples, which made Lin Langtian's eyes flash with a cold light.

As if sensing Lin Langtian's killing intent, Ling Chi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He then stood behind Lei Qian and the other man without changing his expression to avoid Lin Langtian's sharp edge.

As Lin Langtian's influence within the Yuan Sect grew stronger, Ling Chi couldn't help but feel immense pressure. However, he was unwilling to back down, so he could only seek refuge under the protection of the Three Young Kings.

Lei Qian was also extremely dissatisfied with Lin Langtian, who had been gaining popularity recently. So, under Ling Chi's plan, he used the pretext of sparring to seriously injure Song Yun and the other two, forcing Lin Langtian to show himself and thus undermining Lin Langtian's prestige.

On the huge platform, Lei Qian saw Lin Langtian, and a dark look flashed across his eyes. Then, he grinned and said sarcastically, "It was just a casual sparring match. Why is Junior Brother Lin angry?"

"Yeah?"

A smile also appeared on Lin Langtian's face. He then stepped forward slowly, clenched his fist, and said with a smile, "Then why don't we have a friendly spar?"

"Oh, Junior Brother Lin wants to challenge me?" Lei Qian was taken aback, then a dangerous smile appeared on his lips.

Although Lin Langtian's reputation within the Yuan Sect has been growing increasingly prominent recently, and he has already shown signs of threatening the Three Young Kings, in Lei Qian's eyes, Lin Langtian is just a guy with some talent who got lucky and is just bluffing.

In terms of true strength, the Three Young Kings are the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect!

"What, Senior Brother Lei, are you afraid?" Lin Langtian also abandoned his idea of keeping a low profile at this point.

After all, this is the Yuan Sect. Kind people are bullied, and good horses are ridden. Only by showing your strong fist can you avoid some unnecessary trouble.

"Afraid?"

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Lei Qian scoffed, then his eyes sharpened, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Since that's the case, then I'll spar with Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Langtian nodded meaningfully, then smiled and looked at Lei Qian, whose face was somewhat gloomy, and said, "Senior Brother Lei Qian, please."

"Hehe, Junior Brother Lin, you'd better be careful. Fists and feet have no eyes. If you get hurt, please forgive me," Lei Qian said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Lei Qian too." Lin Langtian also revealed a cold smile on his face.

"Junior Brother Lin's reputation has grown quite a bit lately, almost surpassing our Three Young Kings. I just don't know if your strength and reputation are truly proportional..."

Lei Qian stepped forward slowly, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. He stared at Lin Langtian and sneered.

"Since the founding of our Yuan Sect, there has never been a case where the Three Young Kings were surpassed by the disciples of the Eight Divisions. So, Junior Brother Lin, don't be too arrogant. Today, your senior brother will teach you a lesson!"

"Boom!"

As Lei Qian's voice fell, he also took a sudden step forward, and an extremely powerful Yuan energy suddenly surged out from his body, then transformed into rolling thunder, enveloping Lin Langtian.

Lei Qian displayed remarkable strength upon his first move, far surpassing the level of Spirit General...

Upon seeing this, the Fire Division disciples of Lin Langtian's faction around them also became more serious.

Although they had considerable confidence in Lin Langtian, Lei Qian was Three Young Kings of the Yuan Sect. As he said, since the founding of the Yuan Sect, no disciple of the Eight Divisions had ever surpassed the Three Young Kings!

Lin Langtian's hands hung slightly at his sides, his body straight as a spear. No matter how strong the pressure from Lei Qian's power was, he remained unmoved. However, a cold glint flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Let me see just how capable you, who call yourself the Fourth Young King, really are!"

A sinister glint flashed in Lei Qian's eyes, and then he suddenly took a step forward, his violent Yuan Power roaring out from his body like a tidal wave.

At the same time, Lei Qian's figure suddenly transformed into a silver shadow and rushed out like a bolt of lightning, appearing in front of Lin Langtian in a flash.

"Thunder Strike Fist!"

Lei Qian showed no mercy, unleashing a punch that instantly gathered violent lightning on his fist. That terrifying power was enough to severely injure any Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage expert.

Boom!

The violent, thunderous fist, containing astonishing destructive power, exploded out with lightning speed. In a single breath, it reached Lin Langtian's chest, and the crackling sound of electricity echoed shrilly across the platform.

"Smack!"

The violently unleashed thunderous fist wind suddenly froze in the next instant, and Lei Qian's pupils constricted at that moment.

He saw that Lin Langtian's palm was flatly blocking his fist, and the power that was enough to severely injure Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage cultivator was actually blocked by him.

"That's not enough force."

Lin Langtian smiled slightly at Lei Qian, but the smile was unusually cold.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian clenched his fist, and his entire arm flashed with fire, unleashing a burst of violent power. His muscles, like those of a writhing dragon, were awe-inspiring.

At the same time, the Flame Furnace within his body rapidly activated, and within a few breaths, an earth-shattering power suddenly surged from Lin Langtian's right arm.

The current Black Flame Hegemon Body is comparable to the Heavenly Martial Skill, which is above Spirit Martial Skill, and is naturally much more powerful than before.

Flames surged on Lin Langtian's flesh, and an indescribable power fluctuation emanated from it.

Seeing this, Lei Qian's heart gradually calmed down. He knew that he had indeed underestimated Lin Langtian...

Such underestimation in a confrontation will undoubtedly come at a price.

Next, when Lei Qian saw the playful smile slowly creeping onto Lin Langtian's face, the powerful Yuan energy within his body immediately began to circulate wildly without reservation, and dazzling lightning erupted from his body.

Lightning surged, but Lin Langtian remained unmoved. His right hand, brimming with violent power, grabbed Lei Qian's arm, swung it violently in mid-air, and then, lifting him up, slammed him heavily to the ground like a whip.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The earth trembled, and deep craters appeared one after another around Lin Langtian. Cracks spread from the edges of the craters, and the violent power made many people tremble with fear.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. The fierce battle they had imagined did not materialize. Lin Langtian, like an invincible superhuman, grabbed Lei Qian's arm with his right hand and began to swing and smash it wildly and violently.

There were no fancy moves involved; Lin Langtian simply relied on his terrifying physical strength and seized upon Lei Qian's carelessness to stage this spectacular and violent scene.

Bang!

Lin Langtian slammed Lei Qian against the ground more than ten times, then, seemingly tired of it, he flicked his arm, sending Lei Qian flying backward in a sorry state, leaving a trail tens of meters long on the ground...

Glug!

Around the platform, the petrified gazes fixed on Lei Qian, who had been tossed aside by Lin Langtian like trash, all swallowed hard.

Since the establishment of the Yuan Sect, Lin Langtian is the first disciple of the Eight Divisions to dare to be so ruthless towards the Three Young Kings who are the direct descendants of the Sect Leader...
