Defeating the Enemy in One Move, Returning Fully Loaded!

"BOOM!"

A violent surge of Yuan Power erupted in the arena, the fierce force of the impact raging like a gale.

Then, everyone saw a figure fly backward like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing heavily onto the ground. His arm hung limply at his side, blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, and his face turned deathly pale.

"It's actually Lei Li!"

When everyone's gaze converged on the face of the person who had fallen, the entire arena fell into an instant silence.

The members of the Lei and Xie families, meanwhile, wore expressions of extreme ugliness amidst this silence.

The massive Beast Horn Arena was plunged into a deathly stillness!

Eyes filled with deep shock stared at the blood-spitting Lei Li lying on the ground.

Such an outcome was truly beyond the expectations of the vast majority of the crowd.

No one had imagined that Lei Li, the number one youth of Qingyang Town, would actually be defeated by this Lin Yi, whose reputation was not nearly as prominent.

What's more, Lin Yi had only used a single move!

"He actually defeated Lei Li in one move..."

Lin Zhentian stood up from his stone chair in shock. Watching the scene before him, he felt as if he were in a dream.

"Brother Lin Yi is so amazing!"

Qing Tan's bright, lively eyes were filled with adoration as she clapped her small hands and cheered aloud.

Not far from Qing Tan, Lin Xia and the other youths of the Lin Family also joined in the cheering.

Over the years, they had suffered no shortage of bullying from the Lei Family youths, and the reason those youths were so arrogant was precisely because of Lei Li's existence.

Now that Lei Li, the top youth of Qingyang Town, had been defeated by Lin Yi in a single move, they felt as though a stifled breath had finally been released, leaving them feeling refreshed and invigorated!

Compared to the joy on the Lin Family's side, the Lei and Xie families were deathly quiet, with every member of the Lei Family wearing a grim expression.

Seeing this, even Xie Qian could only offer a bitter smile, not daring to provoke trouble at such a moment.

This time, the Lei Family had not only lost the important Ironwood Manor, but more importantly, they had been overshadowed by the Lin Family and had lost all face in front of everyone.

"This isn't real... Pfft!"

Lei Li, the person involved, widened his eyes in fury, his face full of disbelief. He let out a cry and spat out another mouthful of blood before fainting on the spot.

"You actually defeated Lei Li in one move, that was too fierce!" On the stone platform, Wu Yun leaned in close to Lin Yi, his face filled with excitement.

Lin Yi smiled, reached out to retrieve the Fire Python Tiger cub, and then looked toward the referee not far away. "Is it time to announce the result?"

The referee, who had been in a state of shock, only regained his senses upon hearing Lin Yi's words. He took a deep look at Lin Yi and announced in a loud voice, "In this match, Lin Yi of the Lin Family is the winner!"

"Heh, many thanks for the Lei Family's gift. Please ensure the handover of Ironwood Manor is completed within half a month. I trust the head of the Lei Family would not break his promise in front of all these factions, would you?"

After hearing the referee announce the result, Lin Zhentian turned his head toward the Lei Family and laughed heartily.

Hearing Lin Zhentian's laughter, Lei Bao's aged face turned ashen. Behind him, a member of the Lei Family shouted angrily, "Lin Zhentian, your Lin Family just got lucky, don't get too cocky!"

"SLAP!"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than he was slapped by the enraged Lei Bao.

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Lei Bao rose with a dark expression, his face livid, and strode quickly out of the Beast Horn Arena.

The other Lei Family members saw this and could only follow, though they did not forget to carry the unconscious Lei Li with them.

Watching the dejected figures of the Lei Family, the members of the Lin Family felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Congratulations!"

The group from the Mad Saber Martial Hall also walked over under the lead of Luo Cheng, cupping their hands toward Lin Zhentian to offer their congratulations. "The Lin Family gaining such a talent is your greatest treasure."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Lin Zhentian laughed happily as well.

As the two chatted and laughed, the Hunting Competition continued.

With Lin Yi's strength, he naturally captured the championship of this Hunting Competition without any surprises, allowing the Lin Family to gain an additional prize.

"Let's go, we're heading back." Once the Hunting Competition concluded and Lin Zhentian had exchanged a few polite words with Luo Cheng, he led the Lin Family members away from the grounds.

[Ding! Host has won the Hunting Competition and gained fame in Qingyang Town. Rewarding 3,000 Yang Yuan Pills as a celebration!]

On the way back to the Lin Family, the sound of the system reward arrived in Lin Yi's mind right on schedule.

Lin Yi was no longer surprised by this, but he was still very pleased.

Three thousand Yang Yuan Pills were enough for him to buy many more Spirit Medicine to assist in his cultivation.

When the news of Lin Yi's exploits at the Hunting Competition reached the Lin Family, the entire clan was in an uproar, and Lin Yi's prestige within the family rose to another level.

Lin Yi, however, did not pay much attention to these matters.

After the Hunting Competition, Lin Yi stayed quietly at home, only venturing out on rare occasions.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the Hunting Competition.

During this half-month, besides his cultivation, Lin Yi had also been keeping an eye on the situation regarding Ironwood Manor.

The half-month deadline had arrived, and just as in the original story, the Lei Family was looking for excuses to stall for time.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, preparing to go and give Lin Zhentian a reminder.

It wasn't that he cared about that bit of ironwood; rather, Lin Yi hoped to occupy Ironwood Manor as soon as possible so he could begin mining the Yang Yuan Stone.

Lin Yi intended to absorb the Yang Gang Qi within the Yang Yuan Stone mine to advance to the Heaven Origin Realm. Furthermore, the Demonic Crystal and the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower deep within the vein were both excellent treasures.

In the backyard of the Lin Family, Lin Zhentian's face lit up with a smile upon seeing Lin Yi arrive. "Yi'er, you're here. Is there something you need your grandfather's help with regarding your cultivation?"

"It's not about cultivation, but rather regarding Ironwood Manor," Lin Yi said, shaking his head slightly.

"I heard that the Lei Family found an excuse and is unwilling to hand over Ironwood Manor on schedule, is that right?"

Hearing the mention of Ironwood Manor, Lin Zhentian's face turned somewhat indignant. "I didn't expect the people of the Lei Family to be so shameless."

Lin Yi mused, "I suspect the Lei Family is stalling for time because they might have some ulterior motive. For instance, destroying the ironwood at Ironwood Manor, or even worse, ruining the very soil the ironwood grows in."

Swish. Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Zhentian's expression changed abruptly, and he stood up from his chair in a flash.

"So that's what the Lei Family is up to! It seems they are indeed planning exactly that! No, we absolutely cannot let the Lei Family destroy Ironwood Manor!"

"I will immediately take men to Ironwood Manor. If they still refuse to hand it over peacefully, we will take action by force. We cannot wait any longer."

Lin Yi looked at Lin Zhentian and said, "Grandfather, I will go as well."

"Very well, but if a conflict breaks out, you must not stray too far from me," Lin Zhentian replied after a brief moment of hesitation, ultimately agreeing.

Lin Yi nodded without saying anything more.

Once Lin Zhentian had made his decision, he did not hesitate any longer. He gathered a group of Lin Family guards and brought Lin Xiao along, the party heading toward Ironwood Manor in a grand, imposing procession.
