Lin Tian's talent is almost on par with my own!

As that voice rang out, Everyone's gazes immediately converged in a certain direction.

The next moment, Everyone saw the person who had spoken.

Lin Tian?

Seeing this, Zhao Cang and the surrounding crowd were all somewhat stunned.

"Hmm? Senior Brother Lin Tian is going up too? I thought he'd already... I didn't expect he'd actually want to compete with Senior Sister Zhou Ya and Senior Brother Qian Wang for that spot?"

"Hiss! Those are two Inner Academy disciples who entered Bright Force long ago."

"Senior Brother Lin Tian is... choosing to fight... choosing to fight at way too wrong a time, isn't he?"

At that moment, the voices of the Outer Academy disciples discussing it kept coming.

Although their words no longer held the same direct belittlement as before, What they wanted to express was already very clear.

He could not win!

At that moment, there was simply no need for Lin Tian to step forward.

After all, it was just as everyone had said.

Zhou Ya and Qian Wang had both stepped into Bright Force long ago.

The accumulation within them was simply not something Lin Tian, a newly promoted Inner Academy disciple who had just stepped into Bright Force, could compare to.

Coming out now was not only an unwise move.

Instead, it would merely add more fodder for laughter.

And the way everyone looked at Lin Tian changed slightly at this time as well.

Although after Lin Tian broke through to Bright Force, Everyone had gained a layer of awe toward Lin Tian's strength.

But that was only under the circumstances of comparing Lin Tian with themselves.

If Lin Tian were compared with Zhou Ya and the other one now, Then although they would not say anything openly, In their hearts, they felt Lin Tian was simply unworthy of contending with the two of them!

Moreover, no matter from which aspect, in their eyes, Lin Tian was unworthy.

On the arena, After Zhou Ya saw Lin Tian say those words just now, A flash of disgust and disdain immediately crossed her eyes.

It was only because, in her heart at this moment, This Lin Tian was taking himself and putting himself on the same level as her for comparison?!

Without a doubt, to Zhou Ya, this was no less than a kind of humiliation!

What status did she have?

And what status did he have?

He was someone with Inferior Bone Quality.

What qualifications did he have to think he could be mentioned in the same breath as her?

Could it be that, in his eyes, after Xiao Tian broke through to Dark Force, And after he knew he was unworthy of measuring himself against Xiao Tian, He had then come to change targets and use her to flaunt himself instead?

At that moment, Zhou Ya's heart even gave rise to a surge of anger and disgust toward Lin Tian.

It was only because, in her eyes at this time, Lin Tian—

This so-called comparison of Lin Tian's was like filth and grime that had suddenly stuck to her body!!

It directly made her entire being, both physically and mentally, feel an extreme discomfort and nausea!!

As for Qian Wang beside her, although his expression naturally did not change at all on the surface, In his heart, he also had roughly the same thoughts as Zhou Ya.

And Xiao Tian, who stood beside Zhao Cang, also revealed a cold smile.

At this moment, what he thought was almost exactly the same as what Lin Qian had thought.

Heh, so after seeing that he had broken through to Dark Force, He felt he had no hope of sensing him anymore.

Was he lowering his own standards and changing the target of comparison?

Heh. The way a weakling like Lin Tian thought was truly laughable to the extreme.

Off to the side, after Zhao Cang felt a faint flicker of surprise, there was not much expression on his face either.

After all, even though he had not held any hope for Lin Tian before, he had never said Lin Tian was not allowed to take part.

He immediately spoke again. "Since you have stepped onto the stage, you will spar with Zhou Ya first. Remember, stop when the point is made."

Zhao Cang had naturally said those words to Zhou Ya.

After all, Zhou Ya's strength was above Lin Tian's.

And he could also tell that Zhou Ya seemed to hold some dissatisfaction toward Lin Tian in her heart.

In this state, things were somewhat dangerous.

If she got impulsive and injured Lin Tian, that was not something he wanted to see.

"Master, there is no need for a spar."

Lin Tian spoke again.

The instant he heard Lin Tian's voice, Zhao Cang almost instinctively came to this answer in his heart.

If everyone encounters ads like "Are you a real person?", there is no need to pay them any attention. Just close them. Do not scan any codes or send any text messages!

Was he afraid Zhou Ya would hurt him? Was he backing down so casually?

A trace of dissatisfaction toward Lin Tian immediately rose in Zhao Cang's heart.

After all, in his eyes, when a martial artist practiced martial arts, what mattered was an unstoppable, forward-driving momentum.

Even when you knew full well you would lose.

Either you did not go up at all, or once you went up, you did not retreat again!

Wanting to go up and yet not going up—was that not the act of a coward?

"You..."

Just as Zhao Cang was about to correct Lin Tian, Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Six muffled blasts were hammered out by Lin Tian's fists at that moment.

The sound carried within those six muffled blasts immediately rang through the entire Outer Academy!

Everyone who heard that sound froze on the spot at once.

On the arena, Zhou Ya, whose face had originally been filled with disgust, when she saw Lin Tian display the six-ring Mountain-Shaking Fist, her face was instantly covered in panic and disbelief!

Even Qian Wang, standing off to the side, went rigid.

Xiao Tian looked as if he had been jolted awake from a dream, turning his head to look toward Lin Tian.

Zhao Cang, too, subconsciously swallowed down all the rebukes he had been about to say.

"Master, this disciple already broke through by luck yesterday to Dark Force. The difference between Dark Force and Bright Force is far too vast."

"So in this disciple's view, if I were to make a move, Senior Sister Zhou Ya might be injured."

"Therefore, this disciple suggests there is no need to compete."

As these words were spoken, Lin Qian, off to the side, immediately felt her face turn incomparably scorching.

Although the words in her heart just now

had not been spoken out in front of everyone, after Lin Tian said those words just now, Lin Qian only felt as if her face had been viciously slapped.

Then, an indescribable sense of shame surged directly through her entire body!

After all, just a few seconds ago, she had still thought Lin Tian overestimated himself, believing he could compare with her.

But now, the other party was already at Dark Force.

It seemed the title of overestimating oneself was about to land on her instead?

And Xiao Tian, standing to the side, saw this.

In that instant, waves of doubt and shock surged through his heart!

There was even a trace of bewilderment within that shock!!

Because at this moment, whether it was his arrogance or his confidence, all of it came from his current talent, and from the high regard his master Zhao Cang held for him because of that talent.

But now?

His own talent had taken four months to break through to Dark Force.

Yet this Lin Tian had broken through only a dozen or so days later than him.

What that represented, he naturally understood very well!

After all, he had only completed his breakthrough because he received Zhao Cang's guidance every single day.

But Lin Tian?

He... he had relied entirely on himself!

With the two compared like this, no! It was not being on par! It was being even better!!

"Good... good! Good!"

The next moment, Zhao Cang, who was standing to the side, also snapped out of the shock brought by Lin Tian's six-crack Mountain-Shaking Fist just now.

He immediately stood up and came before Lin Tian.

He placed one hand on Lin Tian's shoulder.

His face was filled with gratification and smiles.

And as Zhao Cang's voice rang out, the stunned crowd around them also came back to their senses at this moment.

Especially the Outer Academy disciples.

"Wh-what??! Senior Brother Lin Tian... he... he actually broke through to Dark Force??"

"Hiss! Senior Brother Lin Tian could actually still break through to Dark Force?"

"And he even broke through at almost the same time as Senior Brother Xiao Tian?!"

"Th-this... doesn't that mean..."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone around them immediately froze.

Clearly, at this moment, everyone had thought of that question.
