Lin Yinluo and everyone else turned toward the source of the voice. To their surprise, it was Lin Yuan. He was standing upright once again, while his eyes blazed with streams of gray Origin Qi.The supervising elder immediately stopped his announcement, the entire martial arena falling into complete silence. Every disciple stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief."What is that gray aura burning inside his eyes?" "How did he stand up?" "Wasn't he completely suppressed just a moment ago?"Shock spread through the crowd. Lin Yinluo's expression changed."How, how did you suppress my Soul Annihilation?" He stared at Lin Yuan as though he had seen a ghost before letting out a cold laugh. "So you've decided to fight back, good, that only makes crushing you more enjoyable."Lin Yuan looked at him calmly. "I know I'm consuming a huge amount of Origin Qi, but as long as Origin Sight remains active, your Soul Annihilation can no longer affect me," he muttered those words to himself.Lin Yinluo frowned.

Su Qingyue and Lin Zenqi walked toward where Lin Yuan was standing. When they reached him, they noticed that his eyes were fixed on the spectator seats, as if he hadn't even realized they had arrived.Lin Zenqi followed his gaze before asking, "Brother Yuan, what are you looking at?"Lin Yuan turned toward him and pointed in the direction he had been staring. "Can you see that person over there?"Both Lin Zenqi and Su Qingyue looked in the direction he pointed. "Who?" they asked at the same time.Lin Yuan quickly tried to point him out more clearly. But by the time he looked back, the masked figure had completely disappeared.His brows knitted together. "He was standing there just a moment ago. A man wearing a black mask."Su Qingyue burst into laughter. "It seems the aftereffects of your match are still lingering in your head."Lin Yuan snorted. "You always take everything as a joke."Unlike Su Qingyue, Lin Zenqi didn't laugh. Instead, he carefully observed the spectator seats again.

Lin Yuan frowned as he examined his body. "Why is my Origin Body Tempering still stuck at the Second Layer?" He clenched his fists before letting out a helpless sigh. "This is getting annoying."His face became gloomy as he leaned back onto the bed. With a wave of his hand, the Origin Token appeared in his palm. He stared at it quietly. "I think it's time to see that old man again."When Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, bright sunlight was already shining through the window. "It's morning already."He stretched his body before suddenly noticing something strange, his brows knitting together. "Who changed my clothes?"He looked down at the neatly wrapped bandages and the clean robe on his body. Beside the bed was a bowl containing a steaming medicinal herb soup.Lin Yuan smiled helplessly. "Who needs herbs of this level when I have the Origin Scripture?"Even so, he walked toward the door. The moment he opened it, Su Qingyue happened to be entering. She was dressed in a spotless white r

As they arrived at Qingshan Village, both of them froze.Most of the village had been destroyed. Thick smoke rose into the sky as flames continued to consume what remained of the wooden houses. Looking across the ground, they saw five male villagers lying lifeless in pools of blood.Lin Zenqi's eyes trembled, and his voice began to shake.Lin Yuan frowned. "Who could have done this to these innocent villagers?" he whispered to himself.Lin Zenqi remained speechless as he walked through the half-destroyed village. Tears streamed down his face while his eyes searched desperately. "Who did this?" His trembling voice echoed through the silent village.Suddenly, he spotted a figure lying on the ground. The man was covered in blood, but he was still barely alive.Lin Zenqi rushed toward him while Lin Yuan quickly followed behind. "Zhao Mei!" Lin Zenqi cried. He knelt down and gently lifted Zhao Mei's head into his arms. "Zhao Mei... what happened to you?" Tears rolled down his face.Zhao Me

Boom!!!Lin Yuan immediately used Origin Step, disappearing from where he stood together with Lin Zenqi. The two mountain bandits' swords slashed through empty air.One of them frowned and hurriedly looked around. "Where are they?"The other tightened his grip on his sword, his eyes darting in every direction. "I... I don't know."A calm voice suddenly sounded behind them. "Seems you are looking for me."Both men's pupils shrank. Before they could even turn around, Lin Yuan's fist had already descended.Bang!The punch carried terrifying force, smashing into both bandits simultaneously. Their bodies were blasted backward like broken kites before crashing violently against a thick iron pillar.Crack!The impact shattered their bones instantly. Blood splattered across the pillar as both men died without another sound.The remaining mountain bandits froze for a brief moment before panic erupted throughout the camp."Kill them!""Don't let them escape!""Surround them!"Dozens of mountain
