One Blade!

Dead silence!

When Lin Yi said this, the entire training ground—from the two deans of Dongshan Martial Academy and Guangling Martial Academy down to every single disciple—was instantly stunned.

All of them together?

How dared this country boy? Where did he get the nerve? Did he even know who his opponents were?

These were disciples of Dongshan Martial Academy! The cream of the crop from all of Dongshan Prefecture! Not comparable to the disciples of their backwater martial academy!

In their Dongshan Martial Academy, even a random disciple could take first place in a country academy like theirs.

As for those ranked in the top two hundred, they could win by a landslide!

Yet now, he actually wanted over a dozen Dongshan Martial Academy disciples to come at him all at once—this was simply...

"Courting death!"

Among the disciples, the sharp-tongued female disciple who had mocked Wang Kai earlier glared with icy eyes and barked.

Immediately after, she didn't even bother drawing lots. She grabbed a massive Nine-Ring Saber from the weapon rack nearby.

Then she stomped off the ground, her entire body's speed exploding as if she had turned into a blur, carrying unstoppable might as she slashed at Lin Yi.

"Wang Mei made her move!"

"It's Wang Mei!"

"Haha! Good! Since Wang Mei's stepped in, that arrogant country boy is done for!"

"Right! Wang Mei is a martial artist close to the Sixth Rank Middle Stage, and her Martial Skill has long reached Great Accomplishment in a Fifth-Rank Martial Art. Her strength is already extraordinary."

"Plus, I heard a few days ago she comprehended the Extreme Strength Realm, boosting her power even further. She's probably stronger than an ordinary Fifth Rank Early Stage martial artist."

"Half a month ago, she ranked fifty-seventh in our Dongshan Martial Academy's disciple competition. Now that she's grasped Extreme Strength, she might even break into the top thirty."

"With that kind of strength, one slash should be enough to defeat that arrogant country boy!"

"Haha! Exactly! That country boy dares to be so cocky—today, let him see the might of our Dongshan Martial Academy disciples!"

The Dongshan Martial Academy disciples all burst into laughter, their faces brimming with confidence.

"What! Extreme Strength Realm, Great Accomplishment in a Fifth-Rank Martial Art, and cultivation close to Sixth Rank Middle Stage—that sharp-tongued woman is actually this strong!"

Hearing their words, Wang Kai's face turned pale.

Although he had faith in Lin Yi, he had guessed Lin Yi's strength was at most close to or barely matching a Fifth Rank Early Stage martial artist.

But now, this sharp-tongued woman was even stronger than an ordinary Fifth Rank Early Stage martial artist—didn't that mean Lin Yi was no match for her?

This was bad. It was one thing if he himself failed to enter Dongshan Martial Academy after his defeat, but now he might drag Lin Yi down with him and get him rejected too.

After all, in Wang Kai's eyes, the reason Lin Yi was acting so arrogantly was to vent on his behalf.

Otherwise, given Lin Yi's personality, he would never be this reckless.

"Brother!"

On the training ground, hearing the sharp-tongued female disciple's strength, Zhao Hai Shan's expression also changed. He quickly said:

"Brother, this female disciple named Wang Mei attacked our academy's Lin Yi without drawing lots—isn't that a bit against the rules?"

"After all, the rule we set was that lots would decide Lin Yi's opponents. Now that Wang Mei has broken the rules, I think we should immediately send someone to stop her, then redraw the lots to pick a new opponent for Lin Yi."

"No need!"

Zhao Hai Shan finished speaking, but the white-haired old man Zhao Hai Hong shook his head with a smile and said:

"Since this kid dared to let them all come at once, he should have some skill. At the very least, defeating Wang Mei shouldn't be a problem."

"Otherwise, if he doesn't even have the ability to beat Wang Mei, then such an arrogant fool deserves a lesson today. Don't you think so, Hai Shan?"

"This... Sigh, brother is right."

Hearing this, Zhao Hai Shan could only sigh helplessly.

He just remembered that his clansman brother, having spent a long time in the Tianshan Sect, had seen too many geniuses in the sect waste their talent due to pride and arrogance, ultimately failing to realize their potential and become the strong they were expected to be. Thus, he had always detested arrogant and conceited people.

And earlier, when Lin Yi had opened his mouth to demand all the Dongshan Martial Academy disciples come at once, Zhao Hai Hong undoubtedly saw that as a display of arrogance.

If Lin Yi could now show terrifying strength and defeat Wang Mei, then fine.

If he couldn't, then Lin Yi would probably never get into Dongshan Martial Academy again.

Outside the battlefield, everyone had different reactions.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield.

"Swish!"

A cold Saber Light tore through the air. Even from over ten meters away, the airflow from the slash made Lin Yi's robes rustle loudly.

This was an incredibly fearsome slash! One bursting with explosive power!

The force of this slash was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Sixth Rank Peak martial artist.

But facing this terrifying slash, Lin Yi's gaze was indifferent:

"Scram!"

With a low shout, Lin Yi moved the long saber in his hand, and his blood energy erupted violently in an instant.

In that moment, a presence not at all inferior to Wang Mei's burst forth from Lin Yi.

At the same time, Extreme Strength, the ultimate move of the Full Moon Star Saber, also exploded forth!

In the blink of an eye, powerful blood energy, fearsome Extreme Strength, and the even more terrifying Martial Skill converged into a saber light far more stunning than Wang Mei's, instantly tearing through the void and slashing toward the viciously charging Nine-Ring Saber.

"Clang!"

"Ah!"

The sound of metal clashing and a scream rang out almost simultaneously in the air.

Under Lin Yi's strike, the once imposing and ferocious Wang Mei was sent flying with a single slash!

The massive Nine-Ring Saber, rebounding from the force, slammed back into Wang Mei's chest with a boom, causing her to spit blood midair, staining the training ground.

She flew back over ten meters before crashing to the ground with the Nine-Ring Saber, her face pale, coughing blood, and her narrow eyes filled with fear as she stared at Lin Yi.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the entire training ground seemed to have been hit by hundreds of explosives, erupting into chaos.

"What! This, this... Wang Mei actually lost!"

"Heavens! How is that possible! How is that possible!"

"This is Wang Mei! A genius who comprehended Extreme Strength and could break into the top thirty of our Dongshan Martial Academy!"

"And now she's been defeated in one slash by this country, no, this genius from Guangling Martial Academy. Just what level has his strength reached? It's terrifying!"

One after another, the disciples of Dongshan Martial Academy cried out in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

On the other side, Wang Kai was stunned at first, then burst into wild joy, raising his arms and cheering:

"Haha! Lin Yi, strong! You're too strong!"

"Defeating an Extreme Strength Martial Artist in one move, you're a monster, Lin Yi! I'm starting to worship you! Haha..."

"Haha! Brother, what do you think of this disciple from our Guangling Martial Academy?"

At the edge of the training ground, Zhao Hai Shan, his face flushed with excitement, quickly asked Zhao Hai Hong.

The other teachers from Guangling Martial Academy also felt proud, their faces red with emotion, all looking at Zhao Hai Hong.

"Heh, this little fellow, not bad!"

The white-haired elder Zhao Hai Hong nodded with a faint smile:

"Coming from a Commandery City academy with scarce resources, yet possessing such strength at fourteen years old."

"This kid's talent is quite impressive even among the disciples of the Tianshan Sect. As long as he trains diligently in the future, he has great hope of reaching Third-Rank Martial Arts."

"This child shall enter my Dongshan Martial Academy!"

"Haha! Good!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hai Shan laughed heartily, feeling a great weight lift from his heart, then called out to Lin Yi on the battlefield:

"Lin Yi, did you hear Dean Hai Hong's words? He has permitted you to train at Dongshan Martial Academy. Come quickly and offer your thanks!"

"Dean, I heard! And I thank Dean Hai Hong, but I'm not done with today's business yet."

Lin Yi replied loudly.

Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Lin Yi continued to hold his saber, pointing it at the disciples of Dongshan Martial Academy, and calmly repeated the same words from before:

"You, and you, and you, all of you, come at once!"

The words fell.

The tone and content were exactly the same as before.

But when Lin Yi had said this earlier, the people of Dongshan Martial Academy had only felt anger and ridicule.

Now, however, they truly felt a chilling coldness and deep humiliation.

So, on the training ground, the dozen or so disciples Lin Yi had pointed at exchanged glances.

Then, each roared:

"Brothers, let's go together! Defeat this guy!"

"Go! Damn bastard! Beating one Wang Mei and thinking you can look down on us? Let's go together and teach him a lesson!"

"Go! Let this damn country bumpkin know the might of our Dongshan Martial Academy!"

"Roar! Kill!"

Roars erupted as the disciples of Dongshan Martial Academy exploded with blood energy, their momentum terrifying, their speed incredibly fast, like shooting stars, surrounding Lin Yi from all directions.

For a moment, Lin Yi was like a tiger besieged by a pack of wolves.

Though powerful, he stood alone, as if he could be devoured by the ferocious wolves at any moment, leaving no trace behind!
