In a flash, Lin Mo arrived outside the cave.
Xiao Ya was glaring furiously at a group of uninvited guests, several Flying Daggers hovering around her.
Huo Zihao was conspicuously among the uninvited guests.
Standing in front of him was a red-haired youth, his eyes fixed excitedly on Xiao Ya as his tongue occasionally licked his lips.
On the other side stood two unfamiliar youths, faint pain showing on their faces as they clutched the wounds on their arms with their right hands, looking at Xiao Ya warily.
"Huo Zihao? You still dared to come?"
Lin Mo glared at him angrily as well.
If Lin Dabao had not told them the rules this time, they would have killed this bastard during their last encounter.
"I... I..."
Yet, to Lin Mo and the others' surprise, Huo Zihao was actually stammering. The way he looked at the red-haired youth was filled with boundless terror.
Lin Mo and the others immediately frowned and turned to look at the red-haired youth.
"A Psychic Master? Hahaha, I never thought I'd run into such a treasure this time. Good, very good."
Clearly, the red-haired youth, Lu Chen, was delighted upon seeing that Xiao Ya was a Psychic Master.
Along the way, under their coercion, Huo Zihao had found several more groups of genius trainees from Southern Province.
Just like before, all of them had been eliminated by Lu Chen's people.
Moreover, anyone whose strength was comparable to Huo Zihao's had been crippled outright.
Either all four limbs were ruined, or they were so badly injured they could not get up.
Without miraculous pills or medicine, they probably would not recover for at least half a year.
All of this made Huo Zihao increasingly worried and terrified.
There were simply too many people being eliminated. Altogether, the number had already surpassed a hundred.
Southern Province had only selected a thousand people in total, and a third of them had already been eliminated before this.
Just among those Huo Zihao had personally witnessed being eliminated, there were already more than a hundred.
In such a situation, even if he made it into the camp later, trouble would surely find him.
But Lu Chen did not care about any of that and forced him to keep leading the way.
Huo Zihao did not dare refuse at all.
From Lu Chen's expression and eyes, he could sense it.
If he dared refuse, he would end up no differently from those who had been eliminated.
So, gritting his teeth and bracing himself, he continued leading Lu Chen and the others until they found this place.
Earlier, he had seen Lin Mo and the others heading in this direction.
Sure enough, before they had gone far, they found traces of Xiao Ya's group within this valley.
However, what Huo Zihao had never expected was this.
The instant Lu Chen saw Xiao Ya's group, he chose to launch a sneak attack.
And judging from the way they attacked, they were completely different from before.
They were trying to kill Xiao Ya and the others!
When Huo Zihao had asked Lu Chen for help, he had only wanted to teach them a lesson.
At most, he could accept these people being eliminated. He had never intended for Lu Chen to kill them.
When he saw Lu Chen act like that, Huo Zihao's heart had leaped into his throat.
Fortunately, Xiao Ya was a Psychic Master.
The instant Lu Chen's people made their sneak attack, she sensed it.
Not only did she strike after them yet gain the upper hand, blocking their ambush, she also injured two of them in an instant.
"What the hell are you? Just looking at you makes me sick, you dead pervert!"
Lu Chen's almost pathological expression disgusted everyone.
Xiao Ya openly cursed at him with a face full of revulsion.
"Bastard! You dared speak so disrespectfully to Young Master Lu?"
Lu Chen raised a brow, and his expression instantly darkened.
At the same time, one of the people behind him barked a curse and charged at Xiao Ya.
"Don't move. She's mine!"
Lu Chen shot that subordinate a glare, then looked back at Xiao Ya, a trace of arrogance flashing through his eyes.
"Bullshit!"
Xiao Ya could not tolerate that. She immediately made the first move.
Five Golden Flying Daggers seemed to Space Jump, instantly appearing around Lu Chen and slashing toward his limbs.

"Pfft, pfft..."
The Flying Daggers instantly pierced Lu Chen's limbs.
However, just as Xiao Ya's lips curled upward and she was about to mock Lu Chen, her heart suddenly tightened with dread.
Without any hesitation, she instantly retreated.
"Hehe, your reaction is pretty quick!"
The next second, Lu Chen appeared where Xiao Ya had just been standing, a teasing smile on his lips.
"How is that possible?!"
Xiao Ya's heart was a raging sea of stormy waves.
She had clearly sensed her Flying Daggers striking Lu Chen's limbs. Why did he not look injured at all?
He had not even been affected in the slightest?
Lin Mo and the others were equally alarmed. Xiao Ya was a Psychic Master.
Leaving aside how uncanny her attacks were, in terms of combat strength alone, Psychic Masters absolutely crushed those of the same rank.
"Fourth-grade?"
Suddenly, those two words surfaced in Lin Mo and the others' minds at the same time.
Only someone of a higher grade than Xiao Ya could possibly block or evade her attack.
This made all of them solemn.
Xiao Ya's attacks were not something an ordinary Fourth-grade martial artist could easily evade or withstand.
For Lu Chen to accomplish what he had just done, it meant his strength was definitely not merely at the level of someone who had just entered Fourth-grade.
Perhaps... he had already completed Skin Refining.
Only that could explain why he had emerged completely unscathed from that attack.
"This is trouble now!"
Xiao Ya thought so, but there was no way she would sit still and await death.
Her Flying Daggers attacked again.
This time, the five Flying Daggers lined up in a straight line and stabbed toward Lu Chen's left leg.
Against someone of the same grade, she could attack at multiple points and suppress them with sheer coverage.
But when facing a martial artist stronger than herself, and one who had most likely completed Skin Refining—
Breaking through at a single point was the correct approach.
If one dagger could not break the defense, then she would send five in succession.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The five Flying Daggers seemed to fuse into one, turning into a golden spike that tore through the air with a piercing shriek as it shot straight at Lu Chen's right knee.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Lu Chen did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he became even more excited.
Not only did he show no intention of dodging, he charged forward to meet it, sweeping out a whip kick head-on.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—
A series of sharp sounds rang out, like metal striking iron.
Lu Chen's leg was completely unharmed.
Xiao Ya, on the other hand, turned pale, and all five Flying Daggers were knocked away.
Before Xiao Ya could recover from her shock, Lu Chen's momentum surged even more fiercely.
After kicking away Xiao Ya's Flying Daggers, the force of his attack did not diminish but intensified. He changed his kick into a punch and drove it straight at Xiao Ya's face.
The shift in this exchange happened too quickly.
For a moment, Xiao Ya did not even have time to react.
Just as the fist was about to hit her, a petite figure darted out from beside her and blocked the blow in front of her.
Boom!
The tremendous impact sent a violent blast of air rolling outward.
"Oh? You're Chen Jia, the one Huo Zihao mentioned? You really are impressive. Good, hahaha!"
With that punch, both of them took a step back. Neither gave an inch!
This made Lu Chen even more excited, his gaze shifting between Xiao Ya and Chen Jia.
"Again!"
Lu Chen licked his lips and attacked once more.
"Fall back. I'll handle him!"
Chen Jia gave a light shout and charged toward Lu Chen.
