Dongshan Prefecture City Shaken to Its Core!

"Kill!"

With a low shout, facing the encirclement of more than a dozen Dongshan Martial Academy disciples, Lin Yi's expression remained icy. The long saber in his hand moved, slicing through the air as it slashed toward a skinny youth charging at him with a black staff raised high.

"Clang!"

The saber and staff collided in midair. The tremendous force sent the air around Lin Yi dispersing outward in a semicircular wave.

After that, there was no surprise. Under Lin Yi's incomparably powerful Extreme Strength slash, the skinny youth was sent flying by a single blow. He hit the ground coughing blood and was defeated in an instant.

But this sight did not frighten the other disciples away. Instead, it made them even more excited.

"Quick! He's used Extreme Strength. He definitely won't be able to unleash it again for a while. Everyone, attack! Defeat him while we have the chance!"

"Roar! Get him!"

The disciples roared as they closed in, but Lin Yi merely tapped the ground with his foot. Like a butterfly, he easily opened up distance from seven or eight of them.

As a Fourth-Rank Martial Art, Full Moon Star Saber contained not only saber techniques, but also a matching movement art.

And after a month and a half of cultivation, Lin Yi had already cultivated Full Moon Star Saber to the Great Accomplishment Realm.

A Fourth-Rank Martial Art at the Great Accomplishment Realm was enough to rival a Fifth-Rank Martial Art at the Perfection Realm—or even a Sixth-Rank Martial Art at the Great Perfection Realm!

In terms of Martial Skill realm, Lin Yi far surpassed these disciples, who possessed only Fifth-Rank Martial Arts at the Great Accomplishment Realm.

Moreover, Lin Yi's cultivation was also somewhat stronger than theirs, so naturally, his speed was far greater as well.

"Whoosh!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Lin Yi suddenly appeared beside a disciple like a ghost. With one slash, he cut off a lock of hair from the disciple's forehead, eliminating him on the spot.

Afterward—

"Clang!"

Another clash of metal rang out. Lin Yi's saber swept past a disciple's weapon, then sent both weapon and wielder flying with a single chop.

A Fourth-Rank Martial Art at the Great Accomplishment Realm was truly far stronger than a Fifth-Rank Martial Art at the Great Accomplishment Realm.

Coupled with Lin Yi's somewhat superior Martial Cultivation, these advantages combined meant that even without unleashing Extreme Strength, these Dongshan Martial Academy disciples had no power to resist him.

In almost the blink of an eye, five of the more than a dozen disciples present had already been eliminated, leaving only eleven still in the center of the arena.

"Quick! Stop spreading out!"

Seeing this, a horse-faced disciple said anxiously, "This kid is far too strong. If we keep scattering like this, he'll only pick us off one by one. We have to gather together if we want to stand against him."

"Quick! Everyone, gather around me at once!"

"Alright!"

"Gather!"

At his words, the disciples hurriedly nodded and immediately used their movement arts to converge on the horse-faced disciple.

"Gather? Do you think you can?"

On the training ground, Lin Yi spoke faintly.

Then...

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Lin Yi's figure flashed rapidly across the training ground. His terrifying speed dragged afterimages through the air, as though he were teleporting. One moment he was more than ten meters away; in the next blink, he was already before them.

Appearing and vanishing like a ghost, vanishing and appearing like a god—utterly impossible to defend against!

"What! This is... Minor Accomplishment Extreme Strength!"

Seeing this, Wang Kai, the disciples, and the instructors all cried out in shock.

Extreme Strength could be applied not only to weapons, greatly increasing their power, but also to the body, massively boosting one's speed and enhancing the effects of movement arts!

However, compared to applying it to a weapon, applying it to the body was far more difficult. Generally, one had to reach the Minor Accomplishment Extreme Strength Realm before it could be done.

Lin Yi's speed had suddenly surged, becoming many times faster than before. This was clearly the result of unleashing Minor Accomplishment Extreme Strength.

To comprehend Minor Accomplishment Extreme Strength at fourteen years old—he could be ranked among the top ten monstrous geniuses in all of Dongshan Martial Academy.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Clashes of metal and the sounds of sharp blades tearing through the air rang out.

With Minor Accomplishment Extreme Strength unleashed, Lin Yi was now truly crushing this group of Dongshan Martial Academy disciples.

In attack, speed, and every other aspect, he completely overwhelmed them.

At this point, the battle was no longer a fierce tiger fighting a pack of wolves—it was a tiger charging straight into a flock of sheep!

Under Lin Yi's terrifying attacks, Dongshan Martial Academy disciples were eliminated one after another.

At last, when they finally gathered together, they abruptly realized—

At some point, only six of them remained on the battlefield.

"Gulp!"

"Gulp!"

On the battlefield, the six remaining Dongshan Martial Academy disciples formed a circle. As they watched Lin Yi slowly approach from afar with his saber in hand, they kept swallowing nervously, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Cultivation nearing the middle stage of the Sixth Rank, Martial Skill at the Great Accomplishment of the Fourth Rank, coupled with Power Exertion Realm at Minor Accomplishment in Extreme Strength.

Lin Yi's overall strength was likely comparable to that of some late Fifth Rank martial artists who had yet to comprehend Extreme Strength.

A powerhouse like this would absolutely rank among the top ten even within Guangling Martial Academy! Under normal circumstances, he would have been a monster they could only look up to! Forget challenging him—they would not even dare cast him a brazen glance!

Yet now, the mere six of them had to face such a monster head-on. How could that not be terrifying?

At this thought, the pressure in the hearts of the six Dongshan Martial Academy disciples became as heavy as mountains. They were so frightened that they could barely keep their feet beneath them. As they looked at Lin Yi slowly walking over with his saber, it was as though they had seen a legendary Primordial Beast.

Finally, after more than a breath had passed, a thin youth with several pockmarks on his face among the six could no longer withstand the immense pressure.

At last, beneath everyone's gaze, the thin youth's face flushed red. The weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang as he shouted:

"Don't! Lin Yi, don't fight anymore! I, I, I... I surrender!"

The moment he said it, an immense sense of shame coiled around his heart.

He lowered his head, not even daring to look at his teammates or the other five Dongshan Martial Academy disciples.

After all, he was a proud genius disciple of a Prefecture City Martial Academy, yet when facing a disciple from a Commandery City Martial Academy, he had not even dared to exchange blows. He had been frightened into surrendering by the other party's aura alone.

This matter would likely follow him all the way until he graduated from Dongshan Martial Academy. Even after graduation, people might still laugh at him for it.

But just as the thin, pockmarked youth was drowning in shame—

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sounds of weapons crashing to the ground rang out beside him one after another. The thin, pockmarked youth looked up in astonishment, only to see his teammates all around him seeming to breathe a sigh of relief as they put down their weapons and shouted to Lin Yi:

"Lin Yi, don't fight anymore. I surrender too!"

"And me! I surrender too!"

"I surrender too, Brother Lin! Don't hit me!"

The youths all spoke up one after another, their faces full of relief now that the pressure had lifted.

"Y-you..."

Seeing this, the thin, pockmarked youth went numb.

In that instant, he felt as though he had been sold out.

Across from them, Lin Yi remained expressionless in the face of it all. He merely stared at them with indifferent eyes before speaking.

"You can surrender, but you must apologize to Wang Kai and me. The disciples you defeated earlier must do the same. Otherwise..."

A cold gleam flashed through Lin Yi's eyes.

"Don't! Brother Lin, I'll apologize! I'll apologize!"

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry! Wang Kai! I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin! I'm sorry, Wang Kai. I shouldn't have looked down on people with dog eyes. I was wrong!"

"I'm sorry!"

On the training grounds, the Dongshan Martial Academy disciples lined up to apologize to Wang Kai, making Wang Kai so excited that his face turned red. For the moment, he even forgot the pain of being unable to enter Dongshan Martial Academy to cultivate.

At last, after even the sharp-tongued woman Wang Mei supported her injured body and lowered her head to apologize to Wang Kai, the matter was finally settled.

Seeing this, Lin Yi tossed away the long saber in his hand. It whistled through the air and landed on a weapon rack to the side, after which he slowly stepped down from the battlefield.

"On the fourth day of the eleventh month in the year 6374 of the Martial Emperor Calendar, Lin Yi emerged from Guangling Commandery and suppressed the Dongshan Martial Academy disciples at Dongshan Martial Academy, making them all bow their heads."

"Dongshan Prefecture City—the entire city was shaken!"
