This Move is Called "Explosive Updates!"

BOOM—!!!

With a muffled thud, earth and stone sprayed into the air!

Ye Li's figure shot out like a cannonball, leaping a hundred feet to land with a thunderous crash right in front of Wang Xian!

At that moment, Wang Xian's collar was gripped by Lu Yue, whose fist was raised high.

As for Zhao Yan nearby, he glared at Gao Xu and Chang Qing, the conflict on the verge of erupting!

But all of this was interrupted by the arrival of Ye Li.

Seeing Ye Li, Lu Yue's pupils shrank to pinpricks!

The speed and ferocity of that leap far exceeded his estimations! A sense of impending doom surged straight to the top of his head.

"Ye Li?" Tang Jian, standing in the crowd nearby, watched Ye Li enter from outside the arena in astonishment, a sense of trepidation rising from the bottom of his heart!

Equally shocked were the countless gang members present.

After all, due to the Moon Sect incident not long ago, everyone knew exactly how long Ye Li had been in the gang!

Yet, only a few days later, the strength he displayed was already not inferior to many gang members who were about to graduate!

Seeing Ye Li approach, Wang Xian cried out in desperation, "Brother Ye, be careful! This guy has been cultivating in the gang for five months and will become a full member in a few days!"

"You are Lu Yue?" Ye Li's voice was icy!

An inexplicable pressure enveloped Lu Yue, and a bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down his forehead.

This feeling was just like meeting Feng Yue.

What a joke, this guy has only been in the gang for two months!

Lu Yue laughed at himself in his heart for having such an illusion just because of the other party's aura!

Seeing the other party remain silent, Ye Li furrowed his brows and repeated, "You are Lu Yue?"

Looking at the young man before him, Lu Yue released Wang Xian's collar, took a light breath to soothe the inexplicable agitation rising within him, and said:

"That's right, I am..."

THUD—!

Before the words could finish, a heavy punch slammed deep into Lu Yue's abdomen!

"Ugh—!"

Excruciating pain instantly consumed his entire body; Lu Yue's eyes bulged, and he spat out a massive mouthful of blood, staining the sand beneath his feet!

Pulling his fist back, Ye Li watched the man clutch his stomach and collapse to his knees: "Good, that's all I needed to know!"

"I don't like your name..."

Before the sentence was finished, his right leg had already swung out like a steel whip!

Terrifying force poured out, sending Lu Yue spinning through the air like a top before he was whipped away!

With a violent tremor of the locust tree, Lu Yue slammed into a pillar and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Only then did Ye Li finish his remaining words: "...if you aren't dead, remember to change your name!"

Silence—

Everyone in the arena looked as if they had been strangled, staring dumbfounded at the utterly miserable Lu Yue.

This guy had been in the gang for five months, yet he was being beaten like a dead dog by Ye Li, who had been here for less than two months!

No!

That wasn't right!

Even beating a motionless dead dog wouldn't be this easy!

For a moment, an unbelievable guess began to rise from the depths of their hearts.

Tang Jian gritted his teeth so hard they cracked: "Could this guy Ye Li have already entered..."

Body Tempering Realm???

This terrifying reality was difficult for everyone present to accept.

But looking at the cold-faced man in the center of the arena, they had no choice but to struggle to admit it!

"And you two?" Ye Li turned his head to look at the two people beside Zhao Yan: "Are you going to come over and ask for a beating, or should I come over myself?"

Gao Xu and Chang Qing trembled in fear, their faces turning deathly pale.

Chang Qing stammered, "Ye... Brother Ye, this... this is just a misunderstanding."

"It doesn't matter, fear is natural!"

Ye Li grinned, stepping forward, his robust frame carrying the oppressive weight of a prowling beast:

"I practice martial arts precisely to make my enemies feel fear!"

"There is no escape!!! To turn your back is to die!!!"

The two men locked eyes, both seeing the same resolve reflected in the other.

Without a word, they split to the left and right, lunging at Ye Li like starving wolves.

"Instead of running, you choose to walk toward me?"

Ye Li flashed a playful smile, his arms extending to precisely clamp onto the wrists they had aimed at his temples.

"Snap!"

Four hands met, and not a muscle moved.

"Perfect chance!"

A savage glint flashed in the eyes of Gao Xu and Chang Qing.

Their wrists were caught? Exactly as planned! The two men gripped Ye Li's arms with all their might.

Wang Xian and the others watching from the side secretly cried out in alarm.

With Ye Li's arms restrained, his defenses were wide open!

"Go to hell—"

With a roar, the two men left the ground, twisting their waists to channel their full strength into a brutal kick against Ye Li's ribs and kidneys.

Bang! Bang!

Dull thuds, like leather being struck, exploded across Ye Li's body.

Ye Li stood firm as an ancient pine, taking the blows head-on.

The moment the surging force touched his network of blood-qi, eighty percent of the impact was dissipated like ripples in water.

The remaining twenty percent struck his toughened muscles like a wooden mallet hitting an anvil.

Ye Li felt as if he had been lightly tapped by a child.

Conversely, Gao Xu and Chang Qing felt as if their foot bones were about to shatter! The recoil was agonizing.

The moment they kicked him, they suddenly recalled Feng Yue's occasional lessons at the training grounds.

The chasm between those who had entered the realm and those who hadn't was vast.

Every martial artist who reached the Body Tempering Realm fused their skin with their blood-qi, forming a network that blocked all external attacks.

This entire blood-qi network was a seamless whole.

Ten parts of force striking it would see eight parts dissipated.

Attacking with pure strength, they could exhaust themselves completely and likely only leave a few bruises on the Body Tempering skin.

This was different from the brutal, maiming fights between Ye Li and Li Xi!

Even in a bare-handed brawl between two early-stage Body Tempering martial artists, killing the opponent required significant effort.

"There's still a chance!"

Thoughts flashed through Gao Xu's mind like lightning as he recalled Feng Yue's subsequent teachings:

Half a month ago at the training grounds, Feng Yue had explained combat techniques while sipping wine: "In future gang fights, if you encounter an enemy Body Tempering martial artist, don't be afraid!"

"Body Tempering isn't actually invincible; it still has flaws!"

"There are at least four ways to quickly kill a Body Tempering martial artist!"

Feng Yue tilted his head back, took a swig of hot wine, and grew animated: "After all, for a Body Tempering martial artist, only that layer of skin is truly hard, which is why it was called the Skin Tempering Realm in ancient times."

"The first method is absolute power—use force several times greater than theirs to simply blast them apart!"

"As for the second, it's breaking a surface with a single point!"

"Use concentrated finger strength, a hand blade, or a sharp weapon to strike a small enough area so the force cannot be fully dissipated, tearing through the skin."

"As for the third, it's those things that cannot be defended against by the blood-qi network..."

"The vital point! Attack his vital point!" Feng Yue's lesson flashed through their minds like lightning!

In an instant, as if struck by inspiration, the two men twisted their bodies in mid-air, aiming for Ye Li's vital point.

But faster than them was Ye Li's counterattack!

At this moment, Ye Li's move actually transcended space and time!

To satisfy the readers' desire for more, he even broke through the narrative layer to beat up the author who left the cliffhanger.

He forcibly unleashed the third update ahead of schedule!!!

Quick, say thank you to Ye Li!!!

Ye Li: Ciallo~(∠?ω)⌒☆
