Upon seeing Su Xuebing's lewd and vile techniques, Ye Lin's eyebrows furrowed, a flash of anger evident on her beautiful face. She immediately kicked at the arm Su Xuebing had swung at her!

"Heh heh, a fiery-tempered lass. I like that!"

Seeing Ye Lin's rage, Su Xuebing laughed instead of getting angry. The sight of an angry woman, especially, excited him. He continued his lewd advances, aiming for Ye Lin's sensitive areas repeatedly!

"Despicable!"

Witnessing Su Xuebing's relentless advances, made with complete disregard for any sense of propriety, Ye Lin's anger intensified. She held back no longer, gathering her Inner Strength to launch a fierce counterattack!

BANG!

Ye Lin excelled at leg attacks. Her kick slammed into Su Xuebing's fist, emitting a dull thud.

Upon the sudden collision, Su Xuebing felt a sharp pain shoot through his fist. The overwhelming force made him retract his entire arm.

Inner Strength?!

Su Xuebing was not an inner strength cultivator; he aspired to be, but lacked the necessary constitution and talent. However, he was very familiar with the power of inner strength cultivators, as Huang Yixiang had once explained their formidable abilities to him in detail.

He had never imagined that Ye Lin could achieve what he could not—that she was actually an inner strength cultivator!

"Heh, fine. Very fine. You think I'm scared just because you have Inner Strength? I can still take you down!"

Incensed by this revelation about Ye Lin, Su Xuebing let out a cold laugh. He clenched his fist, gathering all his strength, and threw a vicious punch at Ye Lin's head!

"Hmph!"

Seeing Su Xuebing's ferocious punch, Ye Lin snorted coldly. In an instant, she leaped up, her foot, infused with almost ninety percent of her Inner Strength, kicking straight for Su Xuebing's head!

SMACK!

A crisp sound resounded as Ye Lin's slender leg, moving like a whirlwind, connected with Su Xuebing's head. Caught in his own reckless charge, Su Xuebing had no time to react and was sent flying!

This was the difference between Inner Strength and ordinary power—a single kick sent Su Xuebing flying several meters!

"You…"

Su Xuebing lay on the ground. He looked up, barely managing to utter a single word before losing consciousness.

Even though he was a formidable special forces soldier, he stood no chance against an expert inner strength cultivator using nearly their full power.

"Vile degenerate!"

Looking at the unconscious Su Xuebing on the ground, Ye Lin's anger still simmered. She delivered another vicious kick to his groin!

...

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Huang Yixiang were also locked in an intense confrontation.

Having clashed before, and both being inner strength cultivators, the intensity of their bout naturally surpassed Ye Lin and Su Xuebing's battle.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

They exchanged a flurry of blows, fists meeting fists, both evenly matched in skill and power, trading attacks and defenses!

Ye Lin saw this and wanted to help, but Lin Feng chuckled. "Miss Ye, just rest over there for a bit. I'm more than enough to handle this fellow!"

With that, Lin Feng gathered his Inner Strength and launched a powerful attack straight at Huang Yixiang's chest!

However, Lin Feng knew inwardly that these two moves alone wouldn't be enough to defeat Huang Yixiang.

Looks like I'll have to incorporate some medical knowledge, Lin Feng thought.

While Huang Yixiang defended, Lin Feng searched for an opening. He targeted the acupoints on Huang Yixiang's lower abdomen and under his armpits, his finger strikes suddenly changing as his hands jabbed out sharply!

"Trying to ambush me? You wish! Impossible!"

Noticing Lin Feng abruptly change his attack mid-move, Huang Yixiang snorted coldly and quickly moved to counter.

"With me, nothing is impossible. You're finished!" Lin Feng retorted with a smirk. Indeed, he had feigned an attack on Huang Yixiang's lower abdomen and armpit acupoints. It was a diversion, and he hadn't expected Huang Yixiang to fall for it so easily!

As Huang Yixiang moved to protect his lower abdomen, Lin Feng's technique shifted again. His fingers darted upward, instantly striking one of Huang Yixiang's numbing acupoints!

BUZZ!

Huang Yixiang felt a roaring in his head. Then, a piercing, numbing sensation spread through his body, rendering him senseless for two seconds...

The acupuncture technique! Huang Yixiang realized, but it was too late!

Seizing the two seconds Huang Yixiang's body was sluggish and numb, Lin Feng launched a flying kick!

Seeing Lin Feng's vicious kick approaching, Huang Yixiang wanted to dodge. But his body, still recovering from the paralyzing numbness, reacted too slowly. He couldn't evade it, and despair washed over him...

SMACK!

A kick infused with seventy percent of Lin Feng's Inner Strength slammed into Huang Yixiang's abdomen, sending him staggering backward, clutching his stomach.

BANG!

Another kick struck Huang Yixiang's head.

Huang Yixiang spun around three or four times before his unresponsive body crumpled to the ground. Pain wracked his entire frame, leaving him instantly drained of energy.

"This is your final warning," Lin Feng said, standing over Huang Yixiang and looking down at him with an indifferent gaze. "If you and Su Xuebing dare to cause trouble for me again, don't blame me for forgetting any camaraderie we once shared as teammates!"

"You… You're ruthless, kid!"

Huang Yixiang glared at Lin Feng, seething with anger. He wanted to get up and fight again, but excruciating pain shot through him with the slightest movement. Forget fighting; he could barely even stand.

"We had no prior grievances. You brought this on yourselves!" Lin Feng stated once more.

Just then, Ye Lin walked over and said, "Lin Feng, it's getting late. Let's go."

"Bastard! Lin Feng, do you think I'll just let this go? Hmph, just you wait! If you ever fall into my hands, your end will be miserable! Incredibly miserable, you hear me!"

Huang Yixiang clutched his injuries, his tone stubbornly defiant as he threatened Lin Feng.

"Heh, so you're determined to hold a grudge?" Lin Feng asked, looking at him.

"So what if I am? If you have the guts, kill me right now!" Huang Yixiang snarled through gritted teeth.

"Kill you? Wouldn't that dirty my hands? How about this: Su Xuebing is unconscious, and you're severely injured. You probably won't make it to the assembly point in time. I'm guessing you two already have a pennant. Sigh, I'll do a good deed this once and help you take your pennant to the assembly point first," Lin Feng said with a slight smile, then immediately went to search Su Xuebing's and Huang Yixiang's bags. Sure enough, he found a pennant in Su Xuebing's bag.

"They already had one pennant and still tried to rob us of ours. How ruthless," Ye Lin remarked angrily upon seeing it.

"No worries, no worries. They're injured now. Miss Ye, I don't mind going through the trouble of taking this pennant of theirs to the assembly point first. You don't have a problem with that, do you?" Lin Feng said with a wide, amused grin.

"Lin Feng, you—you dare!"

Seeing Lin Feng so shamelessly about to steal their pennant, Huang Yixiang's face turned a deathly pale with rage, and he gritted his teeth so hard they could have shattered.
