Everyone from Yundian was stunned.

Xia Yuyan was terrified.

Then Lin Yi, who seems so unremarkable.

Just how terrifying could he be?

Could it be that they really failed to recognize greatness when it was before them, underestimating this freshman from Shenxiao?

Hiss...

Xia Yuyan is also a first-year student!

Could Lin Yi's status in Shenxiao be similar to Xia Yuyan's in Yundian?

Or maybe... even surpass it!?

Their perception felt nearly shattered.

Xia Yuyan was enough to suppress most second-year and third-year students of Yundian. They thought she was the pinnacle of genius in this world.

But now, it seems Xia Yuyan's actions proved otherwise.

Lin Yi is that genius who defies the heavens even more than her.

Xia Yuyan closed her eyes, trying her best to erase those nightmares from her mind.

She reminded herself.

She was no longer who she used to be!

Compared to when she was at Noah Ruins, her domain strength has increased by at least three to four times.

After clearing the 0 layer of Descent Abyss, she even gained an SS-level talent.

Two months of effort, two months of growth.

Now, it should be the perfect opportunity to confront these nightmares and crush her inner demons!

When Xia Yuyan opened her eyes again, there was a trace of determination and resolve.

Her body no longer trembled, she looked directly at Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, I'm different from back then."

"Do you dare compete against me again?"

Once Xia Yuyan said this, everyone participating in this mission wore peculiar expressions.

The sword-bearing young man who had been silently observing even opened his eyes with interest, looking at the two in the field.

Nangong Ling still remained silent.

She had seen too many scenes like this.

She had even gone through it herself.

In her five years at Shenxiao, she too participated in joint missions.

She even served as a team leader.

During her inexperienced times, the prodigies from other schools also questioned her.

And some words were even more cutting.

Demeanor and actions were more aggressive and outrageous.

At this age, who doesn't have pride, who isn't defiant?

Lin Yi glanced around, realizing no one objected, he quickly understood.

Xia Yuyan's attitude was, in fact, quite similar to everyone else's.

They also weren't convinced by him.

Some even wanted to replace him and become the team leader.

Because once the mission is completed, the rewards for the team leader are undoubtedly much greater than for other members.

Lin Yi shrugged, his expression remaining indifferent.

"Alright."

"But you all are wasting our precious time."

"Maybe, saving the time from internal strife with you could allow us to save more people, and increase the mission's success rate."

"I accept your challenge. If I lose, I'll voluntarily exit this mission immediately, and you can be team leader."

"But if you lose, you and they, report to your Yundian Academy that you voluntarily exit this mission."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling secretly nodded in her heart.

Everyone needs to pay for their actions.

If Lin Yi simply agreed to Xia Yuyan's challenge and won.

Having them remain with the task team afterward would be nauseating.

Defeating them and then kicking them out of the team is indeed the choice to establish authority!

The three behind Xia Yuyan, their expressions shifted again and again.

Their prior arrogance, their overconfidence, all but vanished.

For they admitted they weren't stronger than Xia Yuyan.

And now Xia Yuyan, upon seeing Lin Yi, was terrified; now she barely managed to adjust her mentality before issuing a challenge.

Xia Yuyan didn't verbally respond to Lin Yi.

She chose to respond through action.

It's just one task, after accepting and then giving up, she would only face the corresponding punishment.

But if she dared not challenge when facing her nightmare, it would become an eternal inner demon.

She might never overcome this hurdle in her lifetime.

Red, gray, blue, and purple four domains spread from Xia Yuyan's center.

Domain: Oblivion, Domain: Desolation, Domain: Rift, Domain: Suppression!

Lin Yi could clearly feel that Xia Yuyan's control over the domain was more precise.

The intensity of her domain was considerably stronger.

Especially the purple suppression domain, which could greatly reduce his attribute values and attack power.

Movement speed, attack speed, casting speed, all slowed.

"This crazy woman..."

"We're at the bustling center of the base city, she's acting out right here..."

Lin Yi sighed inwardly.

He didn't understand Xia Yuyan's desire to prove herself, to conquer her inner demons.

Nor did he bother to empathize.

He simply thought this woman felt obsessed from start to finish.

Facing four expanding domains that surrounded him tightly.

Lin Yi merely snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap!

The next moment—

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

All four red, gray, blue, and purple domains shattered completely!

Simultaneously, Xia Yuyan's body emitted sounds like glass shattering.

The domain covering her body: Negation, a total of 15 layers.

In just an instant.

Just a flick of a finger.

They shattered completely!

Bam!

Xia Yuyan spat out a mouthful of blood, the void left after her domain was shattered instantly seemed to drain all her strength.

Causing her to collapse to the ground.

In the last moment of her fading consciousness.

She saw the indifferent expression on the face of the young man opposite.

Just like in Noah Ruins, his eyes burning with blue flame, lacking any emotions, gazing over the world.

This time, he didn't even use that high-level fire skill.

Xia Yuyan didn't even know what happened.

She was utterly defeated!

Indeed, while she had grown stronger over the past two months.

But Lin Yi was already someone she couldn't catch up to!

Xia Yuyan's vision descended into darkness, she completely lost consciousness.

The other three from Yundian trembled all over.

They no longer dared to look at Lin Yi.

Could this be the same young man who had just introduced himself with a smile?

He didn't even need to take action, just a light snap of his fingers.

Instantly eliminated Xia Yuyan who always filled them with fear and trembling.

Terror!

There's immense terror in this young man's aura!

The black-clad, sword-box-bearing young man from Celestial Profound Daoist School widened his eyes suddenly, with a sparkle in his gaze.

In that moment, he somewhat sensed the vigor of Lin Yi's move.

An instant!

Really just an instant!

But that moment felt far more terrifying than the sharpest sword edge he had ever seen!

He stepped forward, the black-clad young man bowed to Lin Yi: "Shi Yi, Celestial Profound Daoist School, Sword Cultivation Department, second year."

"Captain, after this task is completed, I hope you can spar with me once."

Lin Yi sensed it, at this moment, these people were utterly convinced by him.

Lin Yi shook hands with Shi Yi, smiled: "Certainly."

"Let's move, we've already wasted several minutes, saving people is urgent."

After he completely established authority.

Lin Yi's first command as captain was not defied by anyone.

Those from Qilin Academy hurriedly stood behind Lin Yi.

Only the three from Yundian Academy remained, awkwardly helping Xia Yuyan up, lowering their heads in shame.

They wished they could travel back a few minutes and give themselves a slap!

At that time, they truly had no understanding of the so-called "unrivaled amongst the younger generation" title!
