The sudden voice caused the lively discussions throughout Beast Horn Arena to fall silent for a moment.

Then, countless uncertain and astonished gazes turned toward the young man standing on the platform with his hands behind his back.

"Damn, Lin Tianci, Lei Li may have already entered the Yuan Realm. Are you sure you want to fight him?" Wu Yun, standing not far from Lin Tianci, frowned and offered a kind reminder.

"Besides, do you know what Xie Yun's situation is?"

When Wu Yun deliberately mentioned Xie Tian's name, curiosity flashed in Lin Tianci's eyes. He then shook his head.

"That Xie Tian has the most outstanding talent among the Xie Family Juniors. Even Xie Yingying is nothing compared to him. It's just that Xie Tian went to Yan City when he was young and rarely returned.

"That's why Xie Yingying could become the publicly acknowledged Lin Family Junior Number One."

"So he's a genius from Yan City." Lin Tianci's expression did not change as he asked, "What is Xie Tian's cultivation level?"

"I don't know much about it lately, but the last time I went to Yan City, I heard that a year ago, Xie Tian severely injured someone at the Body Tempering Ninth Layer with a single palm strike."

"I see." Lin Tianci nodded.

"Tianci, you must be cautious about this. Don't let youthful bravado get the better of you." Lin Zhentian was startled by Lin Tianci's words and hurriedly spoke.

If it had only been Lei Li, Lin Zhentian might truly have agreed. But now that Xie Tian had been added, this was no longer something anyone could handle.

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao, standing nearby, both frowned deeply. Clearly, they could not understand why Lin Tianci had agreed.

Only Lin Mang's eyes revealed a nearly imperceptible trace of schadenfreude.

"Grandpa, since the Fist Technique Mini-Test, when have I ever disappointed you?" Facing everyone's doubtful gazes, Lin Tianci remained calm as he spoke.

"Tianci..." Lin Zhentian hesitated after hearing Lin Tianci's words.

He knew Tianci's temperament was steady, and he would never fight a battle he was not confident in.

But what if... he had underestimated Xie Tian because he did not know his true strength?

"What do you all think?" Lin Zhentian turned to look at Lin Ken and the others.

"Dad, Tianci has always been very steady." Lin Ken said, "I think it's worth trying... Besides, Ironwood Manor and the Auction House..."

Lin Ken did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

The annual income from Ironwood Manor and the Auction House was enough to make every force in Qingyang Town green with envy.

If they could obtain Ironwood Manor through this opportunity, it would bring benefits to the Lin Family's development that could not be ignored.

Lin Zhentian's expression shifted uncertainly. At last, he took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. When he opened them again, his usual calm had returned.

"Since the Lei and Xie Families are so bold, then the Lin Family will play along."

The moment he finished speaking, Lei Bao, seemingly afraid that Lin Zhentian would regret it, hurriedly added, "The wager has been set and cannot be changed. Let Lei Li of my Lei Family fight Lin Tianci in the first match!"

Because of this wager, the Hunting event, which had been proceeding in an orderly fashion, was urgently suspended.

Still, many people were quite pleased to see Lei Li and Xie Tian take action against Lin Tianci.

After all, even the Hunting finals might not be as exciting as this match.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lei Li and Lin Tianci stepped forward to an open area at the very center of the stone platform.

Listening to the chaotic discussions around him, Lin Tianci's heart unexpectedly calmed down.

"Lin Tianci, you really kept me waiting." Lei Li twisted his neck, his voice grim. The Killing Intent in his eyes was completely undisguised.

At this moment, he had stepped onto the platform with every intention of killing Lin Tianci.

"You won't have a chance to walk off this platform alive. After this wager, your Lin Family will fall apart as well!"

"Why is there only one of you?" Lin Tianci merely smiled disdainfully at Lei Li's threat, then raised an eyebrow toward the Lei and Xie Families in the viewing stands.

"Since there are two matches in this wager, have both of them come up together. Fighting two matches is too troublesome."

"What?" The instant Lin Tianci said this, the viewing stands fell silent for a moment before erupting into even fiercer discussion.

Countless astonished gazes turned toward Lin Tianci.

Even the members of the Lei and Xie Families were briefly stunned.

Then, Xie Qian's expression abruptly darkened.

"Lin Tianci, since you insist on seeking death, then my Xie Family will grant your wish." Xie Qian tilted his head toward the young man beside him, who had worn an arrogant expression all along. "In that case, Xie Tian, go up there with Lei Li and teach that boastful Lin Family brat a lesson."

"Tianci, don't act rashly!" Lin Zhentian called out anxiously.

"Grandpa, trust me." Lin Tianci smiled at Lin Zhentian before turning to look at Xie Qian as he stepped forward.

"Lin Tianci, you brought this upon yourself!" Lei Li wore a cruel smile as his aura suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the aura of the Yuan Realm burst from Lei Li's body, drawing cries of alarm from outside the arena.

"To reach the Yuan Realm at your age, Lei Li, your talent is passable."

Xie Tian said lazily from the side.

Then, an aura even stronger than Lei Li's suddenly erupted from his body!

"Late Yuan Realm!" someone in the stands cried out.

Reaching the Late Yuan Realm at such an age truly qualified him as one of Heaven's Chosen!

"Two Yuan Realm experts!" Lin Zhentian's expression immediately darkened.

"Dad, Tianci may be in danger this time." Lin Ken's face was filled with bitterness.

If he had known, he never would have let Lin Zhentian accept this wager!

Lei Li and Xie Tian clearly intended to fight to the death.

"They're only in the Yuan Realm. Who isn't?"

As Lin Tianci's words fell, an aura no weaker than Lei Li's or Xie Tian's suddenly emerged.

For a moment, even the wild grass on the ground was pressed down until it bent over!

Before the audience could finish marveling, they witnessed an even more shocking scene.

"Lin Tianci actually entered the Yuan Realm too!"

"No wonder he dared to fight two against one. He had something to rely on!"

"Lin Tianci's strength may be a little greater than even Xie Tian's."

Shock filled countless eyes.

They were not surprised that Lei Li and Xie Tian had reached the Yuan Realm, but no one had expected Lin Tianci, who had risen to prominence only half a year ago, to reach this stage as well!

"Tianci... Tianci entered the Yuan Realm too?"

In the Lin Family's section, Lin Zhentian was so excited that he crushed a deep mark into the armrest of his stone chair.

"When... when did this happen?" Lin Xiao's lips trembled, and his mouth suddenly went dry as he stared blankly at Lin Ken.

"I... I don't know." Lin Ken gave a bitter smile.

A fervent gleam flashed through the eyes of Lin Xia, Lin Hu, and the others nearby.

Not far away, the atmosphere around the Lei and Xie Families was somewhat oppressive.

Lei Bao's face turned livid. Lin Tianci's rate of growth had far exceeded his expectations.

"Lin Tianci cannot be allowed to live!"
