Come Try It Yourself

On the battle stage, Lin Ming was struck by Lei Qian's Dou Technique, the Welded Thunder Dragon Spear, and the lightning instantly obscured Lin Ming. Everyone who saw this had different reactions.

Zi Yan and the members of the Medicine Gang were calling out to Lin Ming in concern.

The members of the White Dragon Gang, including Lei Qian, were all laughing heartily, celebrating their victory.

As for the rest of the spectators below, some were sighing, while others were analyzing the reasons. In short, there were many emotions swirling within the Arena at this moment.

"How can you laugh at such a trash attack?"

Lin Ming's voice came from the arena. Then, people saw a pair of hands glowing with purple light emerge from the lightning sphere like dragon claws, tearing the lightning sphere apart.

After the sphere of lightning was torn apart, it deflated like a punctured balloon and disappeared in an instant.

"Impossible!" Lei Qian exclaimed instantly. Actually, it's understandable that Lei Qian would exclaim in surprise. Anyone who uses their ultimate move to strike an enemy, only to find that the enemy has taken the attack without any harm, would have the same expression as Lei Qian.

"My goodness! Is Lin Ming some kind of freak? He withstood a High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique and emerged completely unscathed." Someone in the spectators exclaimed in amazement.

"Haha! I knew the Gang Leader would be alright." The members of the Medicine Gang laughed happily, and one of them even spoke to the person next to him.

In stark contrast to the Medicine Gang, the White Dragon Gang is completely bewildered. The reversal has happened so quickly that the White Dragon Gang has gone from their initial excitement to a state of utter disorientation.

Lin Ming's physical strength had reached the level of Tier 4 Magical Beast. Coupled with the use of the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, Lei Qian's lightning dragon was nothing but a paper tiger to Lin Ming, posing no threat whatsoever.

"Looks like you've run out of tricks! In that case, lie down!" Lin Ming said, and with a sudden movement, he was instantly beside Lei Qian.

"Boom!"

Lin Ming clenched his fist and threw a punch at Lei Qian.

Lei Qian hadn't expected Lin Ming to arrive so quickly. So when Lin Ming threw a punch, Lei Qian had no time to circulate his Dou Qi to defend himself, and could only instinctively raise his arm to defend.

"Boom!"

"Click!"

Ah~

With a scream, Lei Qian was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

"You... pfft~"

Lei Qian raised his finger and pointed at Lin Ming, uttering the word "you," before the blood in his mouth could no longer be held back and gushed out. Lei Qian's raised hand slumped down limply, and his head lolled to the side, presumably having fainted.

"Vice Gang Leader!" Upon seeing Lei Qian faint, the members of the White Dragon Gang rushed onto the arena and shouted to him.

"Gang Leader Lin, how could you be so ruthless in a mere sparring match?" Bai Wei glanced at Lei Qian and said with a gloomy expression.

"Gang Leader Bai, Xu Ke of your White Dragon Gang also took this punch before. Back then, Xu Ke was still able to leave on his own. Now, I didn't expect that Gang Leader Xu would fall to the ground and not get up after taking just one punch. Gang Leader Bai, you should go back and teach Gang Leader Xu a good lesson." Lin Ming replied to Bai Wei with a sneer.

When Lei Qian wakes up and someone relays Lin Ming's words, it's unclear what his reaction will be, and there's likely other gossip circulating within the White Dragon Gang as well.

After all, just as Lin Ming said, Xu Ke, the third leader with a lower cultivation level, was able to withstand Lin Ming and his group and leave on his own, but Lei Qian, who had a higher cultivation level, was knocked unconscious by Lin Ming's punch.

Once this comparison is made, it becomes clear which is stronger and which is weaker.

Furthermore, Lei Qian's defeat at the hands of the rival Medicine Gang in public is a huge blow to the White Dragon Gang's prestige.

After this incident, there will likely be some discord and changes within the White Dragon Gang.

Defeating an opponent is relatively easy. The real challenge lies in causing internal strife within the opponent, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted. Achieving this is far more difficult.

Now that Lin Ming has this opportunity to anger Bai Wei and sow discord within the White Dragon Gang, he certainly won't hold back.

"You!" Bai Wei's face turned ashen with anger as he pointed a finger at Lin Ming. However, after uttering the word "you," Bai Wei's expression changed rapidly, as if he had thought of something, and he sneered, "Everyone says you, Lin Ming, are incredibly talented, but I think you're all talk and no action."

"Whether he's all talk or no action, Gang Leader Bai can find out by asking the Vice Gang Leader Xu who was carried away. Of course, I have an even better way: Gang Leader Bai, you come and try it yourself," Lin Ming said with a fierce fighting spirit.

"Hmph! Although we are enemies, I, Bai Wei, am not one to take advantage of others in distress. But when the day of the contest arrives, Lin Ming, just don't be afraid. Let's go." After saying this to Lin Ming, Bai Wei led the White Dragon Gang members and began to withdraw from the Arena.

"Lin Ming, are you alright?" Zi Yan asked.

"Look at me, you can tell I'm fine." Lin Ming said to Zi Yan with a smile as they left the arena.

Lin Ming smiled as he glanced at the departing White Dragon Gang. Bai Wei's actions hadn't escaped Lin Ming's notice. Before speaking, Bai Wei had glanced around and seen Zi Yan had already arrived below the arena; his expression was rapidly changing.

Lin Ming wasn't afraid of Bai Wei either.

Although Lin Ming's cultivation level is Six Stars lower than Bai Wei's, his Dou Qi is enough to compensate for the difference of one or two stars due to his Cultivation Method. And don't forget, Lin Ming also has the Instant Qi Pill. If Lin Ming takes the Instant Qi Pill now, his cultivation level can increase by another two stars.

All these factors combined mean that the difference in cultivation level between Lin Ming and Bai Wei is only two or three stars.

For Lin Ming, the difference of two or three stars in cultivation level was really nothing. His physical strength alone, reaching the level of Tier 4 Magical Beast, could offset the difference of two or three stars.

If Bai Wei had actually chosen to attack just now, Lin Ming felt that he wouldn't even need to use the Earth Tier Dou Technique, Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber; simply using the complete version of the Mountain Rushing Flood Fist would have been enough to Bai Wei.

Of course, it's also possible that Bai Wei possesses Dou Technique capable of resisting the Mountain Rushing Flood Fist. In that case, the most he would do is prematurely reveal the Blazing Sun Heavenly Saber. In any case, he had already revealed it once during a mission before entering the Inner Academy, so Lin Ming certainly wouldn't hide it in a truly critical situation.

"Everyone, please disperse!" Lin Ming said, looking at the crowd of onlookers.

"Zi Yan, let's go." Calling out to Zi Yan, Lin Ming walked towards the exit of the Arena, and the members of the Medicine Gang followed closely behind Lin Ming, leaving the Arena.

"I originally thought the Medicine Gang would fall into a slump after Xu Shilin left the hospital. But judging from Lin Ming's performance, Lei Qian probably didn't even force him to reveal much of his strength. The Medicine Gang's status is probably even higher than before!" The slightly auspicious-looking man said to the woman beside him.

"Brother Qing, our Wine Pavilion has no enmity with the Medicine Gang, so the Medicine Gang's rise to power has little impact on us," said the woman beside the burly-looking man.

"Yes! Our Wine Pavilion has no enmity with the Medicine Gang. However, Lin Ming's combat power is also exceptionally terrifying. If we encounter him in the Strong Ranking Grand Competition two years from now, it will definitely be a tough battle." As Shao Qing, the Leader of the Wine Pavilion, spoke, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Those in the Inner Academy are all winners selected from the Outer Academy. And those in the top ten of the Strong Ranking are the elite among these winners, truly the chosen ones.

For these people, there were very few who could rival them in the Inner Academy. Now that Lin Ming, who could fight opponents of higher levels, had appeared, Shao Qing naturally wanted to have a match with him.

"Alright, let's go back too!" Shao Qing said, then left the Arena with his partner.

With the end of the match between Lin Ming and Lei Qian, this clash between the Medicine Gang and the White Dragon Gang came to a victory for the Medicine Gang.

The White Dragon Gang's pre-match hype was a slap in the face to themselves. Therefore, many people speculated that Lei Qian might have pretended to faint because he couldn't face this shameful moment.

After all, just as Lin Ming mocked Bai Wei, Xu Ke, whose cultivation level was lower, was still able to leave the scene on his own after taking a punch from Lin Ming, although he was also seriously injured.

Now, after taking a punch from Lin Ming, Lei Qian actually fainted. This was probably because he felt ashamed and unable to face everyone!

Of course, these are just speculations. After the departure of several dominant forces, the Arena returned to its former bustling state, with people fighting again on each of the arenas.

The match between Lin Ming and Lei Qian was also being discussed in the Inner Academy. This caused the rumors that the Medicine Gang lacked high-level combat power after Xu Shilin left the hospital to completely disappear after the match, and no one talked about it anymore.

Lin Ming defeated Lei Qian, ranked 30th on the Strongest List and possessing a five-star Dou Ling, almost unscathed. After the battle, he even challenged Bai Wei, the leader of the White Dragon Gang, ranked 9th on the Strongest List, with undiminished fighting spirit. If anyone dared to say he wasn't a top-tier fighter, they'd probably be drowned in spit in the inner courtyard.

The Arena matches continued every day, and the match between Lin Ming and Lei Qian was gradually replaced by other events as time went by.

However, ever since the match between the Medicine Gang and the White Dragon Gang, the White Dragon Gang Leader's harassment of the Medicine Gang has stopped, just like when Xu Shilin was still in the Inner Academy.

After defeating Lei Qian, Lin Ming returned to his life of cultivation, helping Zi Yan refine Medicinal Pill and Pill Refining. Of course, because of his victory over Lei Qian, Lin Ming's name also appeared on the Strong Ranking thirtieth.

With his name recorded on the Strong Ranking, Lin Ming also had his own exclusive Cultivation Room in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, which further enhanced the cultivation effect.
