Being reduced to a commoner meant that Lin Tao would no longer be allowed to use chakra.
Several major chakra points in his body would be sealed directly with sealing jutsu.
But before Lin Tao could answer, the middle-aged man beside him narrowed his eyes and said, "Guardian Warden Jia, it isn't that serious!"
"Look, isn't Qi Yuan perfectly fine? Lin Tao, on the other hand, lost an arm in the Planetary Space."
"There must be something fishy here. A genius who obtained an upper kekkei genkai was injured, while a piece of trash who obtained the Sharingan came out completely unscathed!"
"Is that normal?"
"I think Lin Tao must have held back, while Qi Yuan refused to let things go!"
The middle-aged man's twisting of the truth stunned everyone present.
Qi Yuan gave the middle-aged man a strange look.
If you're so good at talking, keep going. I don't mind beating one more person to death!!
By now, Lin Tao had snapped out of his panic!
He shouted, "Guardian Warden, sir, the information from the Planetary Space is incomplete. Qi Yuan attacked me first!!"
"And I only struck to scare him. I never expected him to strike so viciously when I let my guard down."
"Otherwise, with my upper kekkei genkai inheritance, would I have been afraid of him??"
"I've been wronged!"
Lin Tao screamed himself hoarse, as though he had suffered an enormous injustice.
Beside him, Lin Qiang was also streaming tears and snot. "Guardian Wardens, sirs, the Qi Family has a blood feud with our family. His father beat my elder brother to death back then!!"
"And now he nearly beat my son to death too. What has our Lin Family ever done wrong? Please uphold justice for us!"
Yan Gang was about to burst with rage. He had never expected this father and son to be so shameless.
Qi Yuan watched this performance coldly, his gaze moving between the two Level Five Grandmaster Realm experts on the platform.
Lin Tao and his father were nothing but clowns. If these two Guardian Wardens really treated him like trash and glossed over the matter, Qi Yuan would have to let everyone present see blood today.
He still had quite a few enhancement points, which he could put entirely into the Eight Gates of Limitless.
With the Three-Tomoe Sharingan as well, he truly had no fear of these grandmasters!!
Jia Nan's expression had long since darkened. Lin Tao actually dared to spout nonsense right in front of him.
Who had given him the courage??
Beside him, Liu Tianjun said with a regretful expression, "You two shouldn't dwell on it too much. Qi Yuan is only a young man."
"Young people make mistakes."
"Besides, he inherited the Sharingan. He probably doesn't have much longer to live."
"Be magnanimous and forgive him."
Yan Gang's expression changed completely. "Sirs, our little Yuan..."
Before he could finish, Liu Tianjun fixed his oppressive eyes coldly on Yan Gang.
With only Level Three strength, Yan Gang immediately felt a sense of death spreading through his heart.
Yet that feeling soon vanished. Qi Yuan stepped directly in front of him.
Then he looked calmly at Liu Tianjun, a Level Five Grandmaster Realm expert. "Old dog, try glaring with those dog eyes again!!"
Everyone present suddenly fell silent.
The entire Guardian Squad stiffened, and its leader, Cao Yang, gaped!!
Even Lin Tao and his father stopped their performance, staring at Qi Yuan with wide eyes full of disbelief.
"Is Qi Yuan insane? Doesn't he know who he's facing or what his status is?"
Liu Tianjun seemed unable to believe his own ears, and his face quickly darkened.
Lin Tao shouted, "How dare you!! You actually dare insult a grandmaster!!"
Yan Gang's expression also changed drastically, and he moved to bow without hesitation. "Guardian Warden Liu, please calm your anger. He's a child who doesn't know any better!"
But before he could actually bow, Qi Yuan stopped him with one hand.
"Uncle Yan, trust me this once. We'll be fine."
Yan Gang froze as he looked into Qi Yuan's calm eyes.
He suddenly felt that the child he had once protected had grown up!!
Liu Tianjun's gaze seemed to turn solid, and a murderous chill filled the air.
Just then, however, Jia Nan chuckled. "Young people really don't know any better. Guardian Warden Liu, don't stoop to a child's level!!"
"Wouldn't you agree, Guardian Warden Liu!!"
As he spoke, an unusual surge of chakra spread outward, directly quelling Liu Tianjun's killing intent.
Liu Tianjun's pupils contracted slightly. Jia Nan was considerably stronger than him.
He was, after all, an expert listed in the Grandmaster Rankings.
Still, the Mowu Liu Family could not be insulted.
"Guardian Warden Jia, are you going to oppose my Liu Family for this brat?"
Jia Nan sneered inwardly. Liu Tianjun was definitely in cahoots with Lin Qiang and his son.
They twisted the truth and showed no regard for Yu Province's laws!
Did they really think his Liu Family had the final say in Yu Province?
Jia Nan said calmly, "Deputy Envoy Liu, don't get so worked up!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "deputy envoy."
"Qi Yuan is a junior to both of us. It's no great matter for a young man to be a little impulsive!"
"At our age, how could we let a mere few words shake us??"
Liu Tianjun's eyes widened as he stared straight at Jia Nan, while some puzzlement stirred within him.
Jia Nan was an old fox, yet today he actually intended to offend the Liu Family for a piece of trash??
At that moment, however, Qi Yuan stepped forward and asked coldly, "There is no question that Lin Tao attacked me. How exactly do you higher-ups intend to handle it?"
"Are you planning to treat Yu Province's laws as nothing?"
Those words made everyone's expression change.
Even the Liu Family did not dare say they would disobey Yu Province's laws.
Liu Tianjun's heart turned cold. This trash who had obtained the Sharingan actually dared use Yu Province's laws to pressure him?
He really didn't know his own limits!
But Qi Yuan spoke again.
"How about this? Lin Tao and I will fight again and recreate what happened."
"Whether we live or die!!"
The eyes of Liu Tianjun, Lin Qiang, and Lin Tao lit up.
Jia Nan's gaze shifted slightly before he slowly said, "I can agree to that, but I hope certain people will think it through carefully and not lose their lives over this."
His words were meant to dissuade Lin Tao. He knew Qi Yuan's strength.
But Lin Tao and the others did not see it that way.
Clearly, one had obtained the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, while the other had obtained the Sharingan.
Any normal person knew which was stronger and which was weaker, didn't they?
Jia Nan was indeed still on their side.
Yan Gang grew anxious. "Sir, this isn't fair. Qi Yuan is clearly the victim!!"
Lin Tao jumped up on the other side. "This time, I definitely won't hold back!"
After returning, he had only blamed himself for not using his full strength, allowing Qi Yuan to exploit a huge opening through a moment's carelessness.
"I know you have some strength, but how much do you have left now that you've suffered the Sharingan's backlash?"
"And this time, I'll let you taste the power of an upper kekkei genkai limit!!"
Qi Yuan merely said calmly, "Are you finished? Then let's begin!"
Hearing this, Jia Nan swept his hand, signaling the start of their duel.
Lin Tao grew excited. "Becoming the first spirit of the dead claimed by my Boil Release is a blessing for you!!"
His hands rapidly formed hand seals, and heat spread through the air.
Scalding steam began rising from his body as well!!
"Boil Release: Heat Killing!!"
But before Lin Tao's voice faded, an afterimage had already appeared before him.
Qi Yuan raised his leg high and spun violently.
The heat in the air immediately dissipated.
Everyone's eyes widened as Lin Tao's head flew up and his body crashed heavily to the ground.
"Congratulations, host! You have suppressed Lin Tao. Reward: 30 enhancement points!!"
