With a "thud," Yu Hailing stood up in the private room, his face ugly to the extreme, his tone tinged with surprise and discontent: "The artificial expert created by Golden Angel actually lost so quickly?"
"What on earth is the strength of Long Hai!"
Yu Zhengtao's face was frozen, as ugly as could be; his trump card had been played to no avail. He originally wanted Long Hai to suffer a crushing defeat in this competition, or at the very least, to dampen his sharpness, but he hadn't expected such a dismal outcome.
Liu Yinyang lay on the ground, struggling to get up, but spurts of fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he lay powerless on the ground. No matter how he struggled, he could not stand up again.
The Life and Death Gang Qi that Lin Hai attained after breaking through to Supreme was astonishingly effective, especially against artificially created experts relying on drugs – it seemed to have a natural restraint and lethality.
Life and Death Gang Qi, a nemesis to the Gang Qi fostered by drugs.
"Long Hai has won, is there anyone else who wishes to challenge?" asked Ghost Master.
The crowd was as silent as a cicada in winter; the strength displayed by Lin Hai had taken them all by surprise, far exceeding everyone's expectations.
"No one wishes to challenge?" Ghost Master asked again.
No one uttered a sound.
"Then let's continue. Long Hai, do you still choose to fight on?" Ghost Master asked.
Lin Hai nodded; his body was now fully warmed up, his blood flowing smoothly, reaching the peak of his momentum – so of course, he wished to continue the fight.
The path of an expert knows no hesitation or doubt.
Fight to the end!
"It's already the third match, and Long Hai still wishes to fight."
"He's just fought two major battles against Supremes, doesn't his Gang Qi need to recover?"
"I wonder if Long Hai will be able to win this time."
"Alas, I dare not speak carelessly anymore, Long Hai is inscrutable."
People no longer dared to speak recklessly; the strength that Lin Hai had shown had shut them up, forcing them to silently acknowledge.
"Good, full of spirit. Long Hai, you will fight against the fourth-ranked expert on the Dragon List, Huo Lie."
Following Ghost Master's announcement, a fiery red figure slowly stepped onto the stage under everyone's gaze.
"Number four on the Dragon List, Huo Lie."
"Number five on the Dragon List, Long Hai."
The two raised their hands and clenched fists, gazing at each other.
"The match, begin!" announced Ghost Master.
The two moved instantaneously.
A frenzied onslaught that dazzled the onlookers.
"So strong!" Huo Lie was shocked inside, after a short exchange he found that they had already thrown several hundred moves, and his Gang Qi felt a sense of fear.
Yes, a sense of fear, even though it was his own Gang Qi, it seemed extremely reluctant to clash with Lin Hai's Gang Qi.
"The strength of the fourth on the Dragon List is about the same as Liu Yinyang," Lin Hai confirmed in his heart and no longer held back.
With a bang, as Gang Qi surged through his body, Huo Lie realized in a clash that his own Gang Qi had been violently shattered in an instant.
His body retreating in a hurry, Huo Lie found with astonishment that he couldn't control his inertia, and his body floated lightly off the stage.
"What?!"
"Huo Lie was actually blasted off the stage with a single punch?"
"Oh my god..."
The crowd below exclaimed once again.
"Please accept my respect." Lin Hai stopped in his tracks and slowly clasped his fists, addressing Huo Lie beneath the stage.
"Truly worthy of being an expert, I, Huo, am convinced by this defeat in both mind and spirit." Huo Lie laughed heartily, returning Lin Hai's gesture.
"Long Hai, victorious, advancing to fourth place on the Dragon List," the Ghost Master announced.
People around still couldn't believe it. Although they knew that an expert's duel could often be decided by a single move, it had happened too quickly.
Was this really the same Long Hai they had once looked down on? He had now defeated three experts and entered fourth place on the Dragon List.
Fourth on the Dragon List was an existence many looked up to, giving off a sense of being high and mighty.
"Long Hai? Will you continue?" the Ghost Master asked.
Lin Hai nodded without hesitation, laughing boldly: "If we're to battle, let's battle to the end. I am eager to meet the Legendary Kirin who has dominated the first place on the Dragon List for many years."
The first place on the Dragon List had been unshaken for many years. Kirin had always been at the top, and no one had ever heard of his defeat.
"Good! The path of the Expert is exactly like this," the Ghost Master nodded repeatedly, growing fonder of the young man. He seemed to see the spirited times of his youth in him.
The people below were astonished but dared not to talk nonsense anymore. After all, Long Hai's strength was evident. However, the majority still did not favor Lin Hai, for the name of Kirin was too prominent - first on the Dragon List for many years, shrouded in mystery, and some even said that Kirin had reached the Legendary level.
"Third on the Dragon List, Slaughter Blade Li."
"Fourth on the Dragon List, Long Hai."
"The match begins!"
Slaughter Blade Li's kung fu involved a butcher's knife, and while the technique seemed ordinary, it hid a trace of deeper meaning, often making each slash seem to turn decay into magic.
Dragon Tooth and the butcher's knife created streaks of cold light on the stage, the figures of both men flashing like lightning, the sound of clashing Gang Qi was incessant, and the special stone tiles on the stage were completely shattered into large pits.
"Thrilling." Slaughter Blade Li yelled, his knife becoming even sharper and faster.
Dragon Tooth continued to block calmly, and Lin Hai freed his fist to launch an attack on Slaughter Blade Li.
Their knives clashed, their fists collided, and their leg techniques fought fiercely below; each move produced intense sounds. The scene was like a Hollywood blockbuster, splendid and extremely intense.
"Gang Qi!"
Suddenly, a burst of Gang Qi surged from the body. This was something only a Supreme Strong could barely manage to do. However, Supreme Strong experts rarely did this because releasing Gang Qi through the body consumed too much energy and often lacked sufficient power, not as reliable as punches or kicks.
Gang Qi surged in an instant to Slaughter Blade Li's wrist. With a clinking sound, the butcher knife fell to the ground.
Dragon Tooth seized the opportunity, flashing cold light, and Slaughter Blade Li barely managed to defend, his defeat clearly looming.
"Such powerful Gang Qi penetration." Slaughter Blade Li was inwardly shocked; he knew he was about to be defeated soon, but unwilling in his heart, he prepared to give his all in a final effort.
With a thud, Lin Hai took advantage of the moment when Slaughter Blade Li was unguarded and punched him in the abdomen. Slaughter Blade Li knelt on the ground, sliding three meters and almost falling off the stage.
"A blade's cold light startling the Nine Nether, Dragon Tooth with its soul-stirring brilliance, reached Slaughter Blade Li's neck in an instant.
Slaughter Blade Li closed his eyes in despair. He once prided himself on being indifferent to life and death, always ready to fight if dissatisfied, but when death loomed close, he realized that he did not want to die, not at all.
The people below let out another cry of surprise, as they watched Slaughter Blade Li about to be beheaded.
Suddenly, Lin Hai stomped and shattered the stones of the stage, half his leg buried in the stone, stopping himself.
"It's clear you are a tough man; my blade, only kills the wicked," Lin Hai said.
Hearing this, Slaughter Blade Li opened his eyes, looking at Lin Hai with mixed feelings, which eventually turned into gratitude. He raised his hand to clasp his fist: "I'll never forget the grace of not being killed today. If there's anything you need in the future, just say the word; I owe you my life."
