"Your flames are nothing but a minor annoyance to my skin, Elder Mo," Lin Feng shouted, his voice cutting clean through the thick wall of dark gray smoke.
The stadium went completely silent as the dense clouds began to part. Thousands of spectators leaned forward, their eyes bulging as they saw Lin Feng standing in the absolute center of the scorched stone platform. His gray outer disciple robes were slightly charred at the edges, but his skin remained perfectly smooth, untarnished, and completely unbothered by the blazing heat.
"How on earth are you still standing after a direct strike from my premium weapon?" Elder Mo stammered, his face turning an ash gray color as he gripped the hilt of his burning sword. "That wave of fire was designed to reduce an ordinary mortal to a pile of dust in a single second!"
"You relied too much on stolen resources and fancy items, old man," Lin Feng said, taking a slow step forward on the cracked stone. "You forgot how to build real, honest strength. Now your fire belongs to me."
"Do not grow arrogant with me, you lucky little dog!" Elder Mo roared, lifting his blade high once more. "I will chop you into tiny pieces if the fire will not burn you!"
The elder lunged forward again, unleashing a second, massive wave of bright orange flames that hissed angrily as it rushed across the stage.
Lin Feng did not even attempt to dodge the incoming attack. Instead, he simply extended his bare right hand, spreading his fingers wide. His internal golden cosmic pathways throbbed violently beneath his skin, sending a massive jolt of ancient power directly toward his open palm. A deep, swirling vortex of pure black smoke erupted from his skin, spinning rapidly like a tiny, hungry storm.
"What kind of foul sorcery is that?" a senior disciple screamed out from the top row of the bleachers, pointing down at the stage with a trembling hand.
"He is absorbing the technique directly!" another spectator yelled in pure shock.
The massive wave of fire slammed right into Lin Feng's open hand, but instead of exploding, the flames were instantly sucked straight into the swirling black vortex. The dark smoke devoured the heat, the light, and the spiritual energy of the attack within a single second, channeling the raw power directly into Lin Feng's golden core.
"This is impossible!" Elder Mo shrieked, his eyes wide with a deep, primal terror as he felt his own spiritual energy being violently tugged toward the boy. "What kind of demonic art are you performing in front of the sect?"
"It is the art that will end your miserable life," Lin Feng whispered, his eyes flashing with a dangerous gold brilliance.
With a sudden, violent thrust of his arm, Lin Feng redirected the entire absorbed power right back at its original creator. A massive beam of crimson and gold energy shot out from his palm, traveling with a speed that defied the physical laws of the world.
Elder Mo did not even have the time to raise his weapon to block. The heavy crimson beam struck him squarely in the chest, lifting his heavy body completely off his feet and throwing him backward through the air. The impact sounded like a heavy iron hammer smashing against a hollow bronze bell.
"My meridians!" Elder Mo screamed, a horrific, high pitched sound of pure agony that echoed through every single corner of the vast stadium. "My spiritual core is shattering! Stop it, please!"
Lin Feng blurred across the stone stage, appearing directly above the falling elder before the old man could even hit the ground. He delivered a swift, heavy downward kick right into Elder Mo's stomach, smashing him violently into the solid stone floor. The impact created a massive crater, throwing up shards of rock and dust into the air.
The arena went dead silent once again. Thousands of witnesses stared down at the crater in absolute horror. Elder Mo lay flat on his back, his long gray robes torn to shreds, and his face covered in dark blood. The powerful green aura he had possessed just moments ago was completely gone, replaced by the weak, hollow breathing of an ordinary mortal. His cultivation base had been entirely destroyed in front of the public.
"You took everything from me for three long years," Lin Feng said, stepping into the crater and looking down at the groveling old man with cold, unfeeling eyes. "You beat me, you starved me, and you threw me off a cliff. Today, I am taking your life as full payment for that debt."
"Please, Lin Feng, spare my miserable life," Elder Mo wept, coughing up a thick spray of dark crimson blood onto the stone. "The Sect Leader forced me to monitor you! I was just following orders from the top of the mountain! Do not kill me!"
"Your excuses are worth less than the dirt under my boots," Lin Feng said, raising his hand high as the black smoke began to coil around his fingertips once more, ready to deliver the final, lethal blow to his nemesis.
Before Lin Feng can deliver the final blow, the sky turns dark as the Sect Leader himself descends from the clouds, radiating killing intent.
The bright morning sun was instantly blotted out by a massive, unnatural shadow that stretched across the entire mountain range. A freezing, suffocating pressure dropped from the sky like a solid block of lead, forcing every single disciple in the stadium to drop directly to their knees, their chests gasping for air under the immense weight of a supreme master.
"Stop your hand this instant, you rebellious monster," a voice boomed from the heavens, sounding like heavy thunderclaps that shook the very foundations of the arena.
Lin Feng looked up toward the dark clouds, his teeth clenching tightly as he saw a middle aged man wearing majestic purple robes floating down from the sky. The man's face was completely calm, but his eyes held an absolute, terrifying desire to murder everything in sight. It was the Sect Leader, the man who had butchered Lin Feng's family.
"You have brought shame to this mountain today, Lin Feng," the Sect Leader said, landing softly on the edge of the crater, his immense aura making the surrounding air warp and ripple. "You will answer for your crimes right now."

PLOT TWIST – The Fake Cousin
A man who cries too quickly when a blade touches his throat is usually either a complete coward or a very dangerous liar.The wet, slippery wooden planks of the main river pier groaned under the heavy boots of the Asura Vanguard. The air down by the water was thick with the bitter smell of burning coal smoke, damp river mud, and the metallic tang of fresh blood. Black iron pikes glinted under the cold moonlight as Iron Blade Sun and his men lined up thirty captured alliance soldiers along the wooden railing, forcing them onto their knees with heavy kicks to the backs of their legs. The massive black hull of the independent freighter loomed directly over the dock, its iron steam pipes letting out a steady, low hiss that vibrated through the river floor. Lin Feng stood near a stack of broken wooden crates, wiping a dark streak of coal dust from his forehead while his golden eyes swept over the trembling prisoners with absolute indiffere
The Vanguard Collapses
Fear is a far more contagious disease than any plague born in the deep sulfur pits of the frontier.The sight of Sword Master Han dropping into the dry red gravel like a hollow sack of old grain shattered whatever military discipline remained among the surviving alliance soldiers. For three seconds, an absolute, suffocating silence hung over the dark stone crossing. The four hundred armored guards of the three mid-tier sects stared at the empty space where their high commander’s green wind aura had burned so brightly just moments before. Their hands trembled against the wooden shafts of their spears, their knees buckled beneath the weight of their iron breastplates, and their eyes darted wildly toward the dark canyon walls. The terrifying image of Lin Feng standing in the pale moonlight, wiping red blood from his chin while black smoke drifted lazily off his bare knuckles, was simply too much for their minds to process.&
Devouring the Gale
Trapping a razor-sharp sword inside your own shoulder bone sounds like an act of pure madness, but to a man with no options left, it was the fastest shortcut to victory.The high-frequency green blade hissed like an angry viper as it bit deep into the muscle of Lin Feng’s left shoulder, the compressed gale energy tearing through his gray leather tunic and grinding with a sickening, metallic crunch against his solid collarbone. Sword Master Han sneered, his pale eyes flashing with a cold, triumphant light as he prepared to twist the thin steel and tear the boy's whole arm clean off his torso. But when Han tried to pull the sword back to execute the fatal second stroke, the longsword refused to budge. Lin Feng had clamped his shoulder muscles tight around the flat side of the steel, using his own heavy bone structure like a vice lock."What kind of monster uses his own body as an iron sheath, boy?" Han gasped,
The Clash of Commanders
A single stroke of high-grade wind energy can cut a iron shield in half before the man holding it even hears the air whistle.The wide stone crossing at the mouth of the canyon was littered with broken wagon wheels and smoldering wood, but in the center of the clearing, a twenty-foot circle had been swept clean by a sudden, violent gust of razor-sharp air. The rest of the battle had ground to a sudden halt. On the high rocky ledges, Iron Blade Sun and the Vanguard held their black pikes ready, their breathing heavy as they watched the lone figure standing near the wooden river sign. Ye Xue stood ten paces back, her pale blue frost aura humming softly against her skin while her cold eyes remained locked on the tall, slender man wearing the pristine emerald robes of the high wind pavilion. The giant Purple Flame Tiger growled low in its throat, its purple flames popping nervously as the intense air pressure in the clearing continued to
The Battle of the Canyons
A five-ton beast wrapped in violet core fire falling onto your front rank tends to ruin even the most carefully planned military formation.The Purple Flame Tiger hit the narrow canyon floor with a deafening thud that shook the red stone walls. A massive wave of violet heat exploded outward, melting the front edge of the orthodox bronze shield line in a single heartbeat and sending horsemen tumbling into the dust. Screams of dying horses and panic-stricken soldiers echoed through the thick sulfur smoke. Down in the narrow trench, the disciplined rows of the three mid-tier sects had completely collapsed into chaotic, bloody survival as the falling boulders blocked their rear exit and left them trapped like sheep in a butcher's yard."Hold the shield wall, you cowards!" Elder Cao screamed, his face spattered with red mud as he swung his silver sword to deflect a jagged piece of flying rock. "It is just a single wild beast and a handful of dirt-faced miners!""A single wild beast that is
The Alliance Sends a Response
Five hundred polished iron spears do not make a quiet sound when they hit the dirt together at midnight.The heavy, rhythmic march of disciplined boots vibrated through the narrow, red rock canyon, sending tiny showers of dry red gravel sliding down the sheer sandstone cliffs. High above the canyon floor, three large silk banners fluttered against the cold desert wind, each bearing the glittering silver emblems of the three mid-tier orthodox sects deployed by the Alliance. Bright yellow paper lanterns hung from tall wooden pikes, casting a harsh, artificial light over neat rows of heavily armored soldiers marching in perfect formation. At the front of the column rode three elder captains on tall, armored warhorses, their white silk robes completely spotless despite the thick cloud of dust rising behind them."They brought five hundred men and three elder captains to take back a coal pit, Lin Feng, and their front rank is carrying heavy bronze shields from the inner city," Ye Xue said,
