Repelling Lei Li, The Lin Family's Shock!

"Bang!"

A low sound echoed as their fists collided, the powerful force kicking up dust from the ground nearby!

"Stomp, stomp!"

Their fists separated as soon as they touched. To everyone's disbelief, Lin Yi stood firm, while Lei Li was forced back five or six steps!

"He actually repelled Lei Li..."

Looking at Lin Yi, who stood steadily in place, the younger generation of both the Xie and Lin families, and even the onlookers on the stone plaza, were filled with astonishment.

Lei Li had quite a reputation in Qingyang Town. It was said he had already reached Body Tempering Ninth Level and might break through to the Earth Yuan Stage within a few months.

Among the younger generation in Qingyang Town, Lei Li was the undisputed number one.

Yet today, this so-called number one was actually repelled by Lin Yi's single punch. This caused many to drop their jaws in shock.

Xie Yingying and Xie Ting's expressions also changed slightly.

If they knew that Lin Yi had been holding back just now, one could only imagine their expressions.

Lei Li, who had retreated, lost his usual calm demeanor, his face turning somewhat grim.

"You do have some strength, no wonder you're so arrogant! But I only used five parts of my strength just now. From now on, I'll get serious. Your good luck ends here..."

As he spoke, Lei Li bent his hands into claws. A rich luster appeared on his claws, and the fluctuations of Origin Energy spread out.

Judging by his appearance, he was clearly about to use a martial art to fight.

Hearing Lei Li's words and feeling the pressure emanating from him, the joy on Lin Xia and the others' faces immediately vanished.

Lin Yi, however, remained calm. Lei Li at Body Tempering Ninth Level posed no threat to him. What he needed to consider was the extent to which he should take this battle.

"Heh heh, it's really lively here..."

Just as everyone was preparing to watch a good show, a discordant laugh suddenly rang out.

Immediately, about a dozen figures leaped down from the pavilion beside them and walked directly into the arena.

These dozen or so newcomers were all youths around sixteen or seventeen years old.

They all wore the same uniform, with a pattern embroidered on the chest: a great saber dancing like a fierce wind.

"People from the Mad Saber Martial Hall are here too! This is going to be even more exciting!"

Upon seeing these people arrive, whispers arose from the crowd.

In Qingyang Town, the Lei and Xie families were on good terms, while the Mad Saber Martial Hall was closer to the Lin family.

Among the youths from the Mad Saber Martial Hall, the leader was slightly lean, but his palms were unusually wide and covered in calluses, clearly from frequent saber training.

At this moment, the young man first glanced sideways at Lei Li, then smiled and gave Lin Yi a thumbs-up, "You're Lin Yi, the champion of the Lin family's clan competition, right? To be able to force Lei Li back, you're truly impressive!"

"I was just caught off guard earlier," Lei Li said, looking at the grinning youth with a dark expression. "Also, this is between him and me. Wu Yun, stop meddling!"

"How come I heard that it was originally a matter between the Xie and Lin families, and you're the one meddling?" Wu Yun's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile.

"Heh heh, Lei Li, since you like fighting so much, how about I play with you for a while?"

As his voice fell, Wu Yun's eyes suddenly fixed on Lei Li with a hint of fervor, and he licked his lips, looking eager to fight.

Hearing Wu Yun's words, Lei Li's expression flickered between anger and uncertainty.

It wasn't that he couldn't defeat Wu Yun. The problem was that this guy was addicted to fighting and would never stop once he started, acting like a madman. Therefore, even he, unless absolutely necessary, didn't want to fight this fellow.

Moreover, if he were tied up by Wu Yun, Xie Yingying would likely be at a disadvantage against Lin Yi.

"Alright, I say, you little brats, you've made enough of a scene. Go back to where you came from. Business needs to be done here."

Just then, a helpless voice came from the pavilion.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man staring down at them. Behind him stood a group of burly men.

"That's the manager of this Trading Guild, an expert at the Earth Yuan Stage," Lin Xia introduced from behind Lin Yi.

Seeing the manager appear, Lei Li's eyes flickered slightly. He dispersed the Origin Energy fluctuations in his palm, glanced at Lin Yi, and said faintly:

"You're lucky today. Wait until the Hunting Competition, and I'll take good care of you!"

"Also, Wu Yun, I'll let you have a good fight at the Hunting Competition. Don't dodge then..."

With that, Lei Li sneered and turned to leave with Xie Yingying and the others.

During this period, as long as he broke through to the Earth Yuan Stage, he was confident he could handle both Lin Yi and Wu Yun even if they teamed up!

Watching Lei Li and his group leave, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and didn't pursue the matter.

When the Hunting Competition arrived, he would give the other party a big surprise!

"Heh heh, Lin Xia, it seems your Lin family has finally produced a remarkable fellow," Wu Yun said, turning around after Lei Li and the others left. He scanned Lin Yi and then smiled at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia patted Lin Yi's shoulder proudly. "Naturally. With Lin Yi's cultivation speed, I believe he'll soon become the new number one among the younger generation in Qingyang Town!"

After a brief chat, Wu Yun and his group took their leave.

"Let's go back too," Lin Xia suggested to everyone, seeing that the scene had dispersed.

"You guys go back first. I have something else to attend to," Lin Yi said to Lin Xia and the others after a moment's thought.

Qing Tan said, "Brother Lin Yi, I'll go with you."

Lin Yi shook his head, "Be good, go back with Sister Lin Xia and the others first. I'll be back soon."

"Okay," Qing Tan said, though a little reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

After Lin Xia and Qing Tan left, Lin Yi also exited the pavilion, found a secluded small shop, bought a cloak, put on a black robe over it, and then hurried towards the Underground Exchange.

This was not Lin Yi's first time at the Underground Exchange. After circling the streets twice, he quickly reached his destination.

Lin Yi came to the Underground Exchange naturally to exchange the Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid for Spirit Medicine.

To Lin Yi's regret, he didn't find any spirit medicine of fourth grade or above. In the end, he still exchanged for a few third-grade spirit medicine to take back.

In addition, Lin Yi had originally planned to buy a Qiankun Bag to store some Yang Yuan Pills for his father, Lin Xiao, to cultivate with. Unfortunately, there were no Qiankun Bags being traded in the entire Underground Exchange.

He had already secretly decided to make a trip to Yan City in a few days.

Upon returning home, Lin Yi was summoned to attend the Family Gathering at the end of the month.

Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and the others were overjoyed and surprised to learn that Lin Yi had repelled Lei Li at the Trading Guild market that afternoon.

"That Lei Li already entered the Body Tempering Ninth Level long ago. You were able to repel him, truly remarkable," Lin Ken praised Lin Yi with a smile.

Lin Zhentian was also beaming at this moment, "Lin Yi should have also advanced to the Body Tempering Ninth Level, right?"

Qing Tan by the side said proudly, "Brother Lin Yi has already broken through to the Earth Yuan Stage!"

"What? Earth Yuan Stage?!"

Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and Lin Xiao were all extremely shocked upon hearing this and stared intently at Lin Yi.
