"Brother Du! Do you think he can take on Zhu Kang's move?" The junior disciple beside Du Yuze asked curiously.

"He can!"

Du Yuze replied with absolute certainty.

From Lin Yifan's calm demeanor, it was evident he had this capability; so why wouldn't he believe it?

"No way! Brother Du, what makes you say that?"

"Just watch carefully, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, the junior disciple beside Du Yuze became interested; they all sharpened their eyes and concentrated intensely, watching the battle on the stage.

Zhu Kang's attack was indeed formidable, Lin Yifan had to admit, but this did not mean he was afraid.

No matter the outcome, he had to respond to this strike.

So he unleashed the most formidable move he could currently master from the "Beixuan Sword Technique" to meet Zhu Kang's attack.

"Boom!!"

Immediately, a force comparable to Zhu Kang's erupted.

The crowd seemed to witness the birth of a king, that powerful aura making them tremble.

"Impossible!"

Bai Chu clenched his fist, this was something he had not anticipated, because with the martial arts Lin Yifan currently possessed, at most he could only unleash power at the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Early Stage, certainly not at the Mid Stage.

For the first time, he felt pressure, Lin Yifan had already threatened his position in the Medicinal Saint Valley.

The senior brothers were this frightened, and the other disciples would certainly be no exception.

Those disciples who previously looked down upon Lin Yifan all put away their sense of superiority; compared to Lin Yifan, they really amounted to nothing.

"Yifan! Is that really you? When did you become so strong?"

Xiao Fang was moved to tears, for the first time feeling a strong sense of security from Lin Yifan.

As time progressed, she realized that the little man who once needed her protection had truly grown up, truly able to provide for her. This was something of great honor for her as a woman.

She had made the right choice, she had not loved wrongly, her feelings were correct.

"What amazing martial arts! What martial arts is this?"

The various elders of the Medicinal Saint Valley were all puzzled and increasingly covetous.

This might be Immortal Level martial arts, surpassing the unique martial arts of the current major sects; acquiring it would place them above these major sects.

"Hehe, not bad! Not bad!"

The Medicine Saint stroked his goatee, feeling smug, not knowing what plans he had, nor what he meant by this.

Lin Yifan's Immortal Level martial arts were thus exposed; he did not wish for it, but to have those who wronged him pay the deserved price, he had no choice.

"Ah!!!"

Lin Yifan roared hysterically, then charged fiercely past, cleaving with his sword, releasing all that powerful force.

Zhu Kang was not afraid either, fiercely hacking away.

Neither side had any retreat; it was just a matter of who would fall first, who was strong, who was weak.

"Boom!"

Two tremendous forces collided, the surrounding space trembled, and the sturdy stage was on the verge of collapse. This was the result of a tremendous clash of power, something unimaginable for ordinary people.

The disciples below only felt a strong aura rush toward them, knocking them over, shaking them to the point of almost losing their balance.

"So strong! Is this the power of the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Middle Stage? Indeed impressive as hell."

Those low-realm disciples were full of awe, extremely eager to obtain such power.

Due to the large aftershock from the collision, many disciples couldn't open their eyes to see the final result, only cultivators above the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Middle Stage knew who had won.

In fact, neither won; both were violently thrown back, heavily injured, continually coughing up blood.

Zhu Kang found it unimaginable that he was severely injured by a Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage cultivator, a humiliation in his life that could never be erased.

Lin Yifan, though defeated, was honored nonetheless, he had truly done it, truly able to contend with a Divine Transformation Forth Realm Middle Stage cultivator.

If he coordinated with Beixuanzi's Emperor's Sword, the force he unleashed would be even stronger; unfortunately, the environment here restricted his performance.

Bai Chu anticipated this result, but he now regarded Lin Yifan as his greatest enemy.

If this junior disciple wasn't eliminated, he would never have a chance at success.

"They actually ended in a draw, looks like Old Fifth's reputation is saved!"

"Save what, neither was in a battle within the same realm; in a draw, the losing side is certainly the higher realm; so still, the Valley Master is amazing."

The Fifth Elder humbly responded, though it was indeed the truth.

"Hehe!" The other elders only laughed without saying a word, agreeing with his statement.

Du Yuze was truly shocked, Lin Yifan's strength was beyond his imagination. He was convinced that in a few more months, he wouldn't be a match for Lin Yifan either; so...

"Second Brother, I'm sorry, but I need to find a new place to reside."

He had already made up his mind to follow Lin Yifan.

Second Brother Xu Haolin, watching from the shadows, hadn't expected to have yet another competitor, feeling truly frustrated.

"One after another, just how many people are they expecting to compete for this seat?"

He was puzzled and deeply tired.

However, for the position of Young Valley Master, in addition to having strength, one must also have a firm grasp on alchemy skills, so he still had a chance, after all, his alchemy was among the best of all the disciples.

As the aftermath dissipated, the low realm disciples finally reacted.

When they saw both figures crouched on the ground, blood streaming from the corners of their mouths, they were astonished.

They never expected such disparity in realms could end in a draw, truly unimaginable.

"Wow! Gained fame from a single battle, impressive, truly impressive!"

"Cough, cough, I will never doubt the Valley Master's judgment again."

"Incredible! In admiration down to the very core!"

"Impressive is impressive, it's just a pity he falls short in character."

Many disciples acknowledged Lin Yifan's strength, but just didn't recognize his character; because the events in the small world indeed tarnished his reputation.

Seeing Lin Yifan severely injured, Xiao Fang was heartbroken, so she squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, coming to Lin Yifan's side, asking with concern, "Yifan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm not going to die!"

Lin Yifan replied while panting.

"Come down quickly, don't fight anymore." Xiao Fang pleaded, genuinely worried about Lin Yifan's safety.

"Come down? How is that possible! Not until I make that guy pay the price, I swear I won't give up!"

Lin Yifan fiercely glared at Cui Libin, his eyes full of hatred.

His enemy was Cui Libin, not Zhu Kang; as long as Cui Libin went unpunished, the matter was not over.

Seeing that murderous glare, Cui Libin, resting on the side, felt an unprecedented fear.

He regretted it now, shouldn't have insulted Lin Yifan publicly. But now, who could offer him any remedy for regret?

"Junior Brother Cui has already been punished, please let him go?" Xiao Fang continued to plead.
