The dantian was an extremely critical part of a person.

A damaged dantian caused intense pain.

However, this was merely the surface...

"Splurt--"

Nobody knew that when Lin Yun's kick landed on Zhong Nan's dantian, deep within Zhong Nan's body, the sound of crumbling fabric echoed, streaks of air burst out from Zhong Nan's dantian and dispersed to other parts of his body.

Lin Yun had obliterated Zhong Nan's martial arts abilities.

Not just his internal energy, but also the power of his body.

Now, his strength was even less than an ordinary person's, pain assailed him with the slightest exertion.

Just like what had happened to Wang Jie when Lin Yun had previously crippled him.

It was even worse.

Because for Wang Jie, he was only at the Mid Mingjin Stage and had not yet developed internal strength.

Zhong Nan had already developed internal strength and when it exploded, it caused his meridians to scramble and wound, leading to severe internal injuries.

Recovery from internal injuries was the most difficult, his injuries, if not recovered, would result in his condition deteriorating day by day.

"What!"

"Zhong Nan was defeated by this Lin Yi?"

"In just a few moves..."

"Someone attacked Lin Yi again..."

"How despicable..."

The series of events that occurred on the Life and Death Arena astounded the spectators surrounding the arena.

In the end, many people gazed at the figure rushing towards the arena with fury.

If it wasn't for this man's intervention, Zhong Nan might have been dead by now.

Frankly speaking, some people were outraged by Zhong Nan's discourteous behavior towards Lin Mengmeng but dared not stand up to him. In reality, most of them harbored complex emotions - hoping for someone to reprimand Zhong Nan, while also resenting those who did.

They weren't hoping for an ordinary person to stand up though!

Lin Yun, who was among the top twenty in this Rookie Competition, had just barely scraped past the cut-off line...

Seeing Lin Yun almost killing Zhong Nan earlier filled them with excitement. Therefore, seeing Lin Yun getting stopped naturally infuriated them!

This was the Life and Death Arena!

An arena where no one else should intervene once a match began!

"It's Grandmaster Qin Daoming from the Baji Sect..."

"Qin Daoming...At the initial stage of Huajin..."

"A grand martial arts grandmaster unexpectedly intervened in the Life and Death Arena, how disgraceful..."

"Baji Sect, huh... so much for their reputation..."

Recognizing the identity of the man who had just intervened, some people scoffed.

"This Lin Yi, we've never known his background, but now that a martial arts grandmaster has stepped in, he's probably in trouble..."

"Indeed, that's a martial arts grandmaster. Each one of them is a legend in the martial arts world. He's only Dark Strength...no, looking at his strength and speed from earlier, he might not even have reached Dark Strength yet. How could he possibly go up against a martial arts grandmaster with such power..."

Some people sighed.

"This Lin Yi... is so strong..."

"We still don't know this Lin Yi's martial arts realm..."

"Could he really be at the Mingjin stage? But I somewhat find it hard to believe..."

"Zhong Nan was a martial artist at the initial stage of Dark Strength, yet his defeat was so effortless. Regardless of his realm, his accomplishment is not to be understated. He is a formidable enemy..."

From afar, those renowned in the world of martial arts looked upon these events and commented solemnly.

At this moment, they had finally started to recognize Lin Yun's existence.

"Grandmaster Qin Daoming has made his move..."

"Interesting..."

"Let's see how this Lin Yi handles it..."

Next, these martial arts prodigies spoke with amusement.

"Brother Lin Yi..."

Under the arena, Zhang Haoran clenched his fists tightly in anxiety.

When Lin Yun had defeated Zhong Nan just now, he was utterly shocked. That was a martial artist at the initial Dark Strength stage, and a core disciple of the Baji Sect, a disciple of a grandmaster at the later stage of Huajin. Even though he was at the initial stage of Dark Strength, he was definitely not a typical beginner.

Yet Lin Yun had managed to defeat him...

He knew that Lin Yun was not weak, but he hadn't imagined him to be this strong.

However, midway through, a martial arts grandmaster intervened, causing him to worry for Lin Yun again.

While muttering softly, he raised his head to see his father standing in the distance.

He had already talked to his father about his new friend yesterday.

Although he didn't want his father to oppose the Baji Sect, he still wanted to see if his father could do anything about it.

Zhang Wentian furrowed his brows, aware of his son's friend.

It was rare for him to hear his son praising someone like this or having such a close relationship with someone.

However, he never expected that this friend of his son's would possess such formidable skills.

But, the Baji Sect... It was the Baji Sect...

However, he had only this one son.

With this thought, he took a step forward, slowly heading towards the arena of life and death.

"Lin..."

Witnessing this situation, Lin Mengmeng's heart was exceedingly anxious. Although she had heard about Lin Yun's might and strength from her father, the Lin Yun that she was familiar with was still the big boy who started with strength similar to her but in the end surpassed her by a lot.

A Grandmaster of Martial Arts... That was a character from the legends of the martial world...

Now, a Grandmaster of Martial Arts made a move on Lin Yun, how could she not worry for Lin Yun?

However, she opened her mouth but didn't manage to call out Lin Yun's name in the end.

"Don't worry too much, seeing how he dared to make a move on Zhong Nan, he must be confident. Besides, this is the martial arts convention, it's the arena of life and death, that person has already violated the rules by making a move on him, he should not be able to harm him..."

Seeing Lin Mengmeng's worry, Lin Yuanshan tried to comfort her.

Honestly speaking, seeing that the opponent actually defeated Zhong Nan decisively left him greatly surprised.

Especially, the opponent seemed to have only used the strength of the Mingjin peak.

Normally, a Martial Artist of Dark Strength could not avoid revealing some internal strength no matter how they used their power in this level of combat... If the opponent was not simply at the Mingjin stage they would have to have reached an extremely high level of power control.

The last point... was something that he, a Martial Artist at the peak of Dark Strength, couldn't say he could achieve.

He also couldn't claim that he could defeat a Martial Artist like Zhong Nan without revealing his Dark Strength cultivation and only using the strength of the Mingjin peak.

Therefore, the most likely possibility was the former one.

A Mingjin peak challenging Dark Strength and almost killing the opponent, this exceeded level challenge was too surprising.

While everyone was reacting differently, on the stage, Qin Daoming had already lifted Zhong Nan's body.

Just now, when Zhong Nan's body hit the edge of the arena of life and death, he had been blocked by the railing, preventing him from falling off.

Qin Daoming carried Zhong Nan, who was spitting out blood constantly.

Qin Daoming placed several fingers on Zhong Nan's wrist, and soon he had taken stock of Zhong Nan's condition.

The dantian was ruined...

That is to say, Zhong Nan's martial arts career was finished.

He didn't know that Lin Yun had also disabled the strength of Zhong Nan's body, but even so, he was already extremely angry.

Zhong Nan was a core disciple of their Baji Sect and even the disciple of Wei Donglai, their senior elder of the Baji Sect. In some ways, he represented the face of their Baji Sect.

Now, his career was ruined by someone, especially after he had spoken out to stop it. To him, this was a huge insult.

"Kid, I just asked you to stop, didn't you hear?" Qin Daoming raised his head, looked at Lin Yun, and said angrily.

"The arena of life and death, outsiders are not allowed to interfere, didn't you know?"

"You have already violated the rules, didn't you know?"

"Just now, wasn't it Zhong Nan who invited me to the arena of life and death, didn't you know?"

Lin Yun said coldly, three sentences in a row.

"What a slick young man, I didn't expect that in addition to your impressive skills, your mouth is just as sharp. The martial arts convention is for martial artists from all over the country to better exchange their experiences. It's not a place to prove bravery and fight fiercely. Moreover, I have already understood the situation.

You insulted our Baji Sect first, which is why Zhong Nan challenged you to the arena of life and death..." Qin Daoming didn't expect that the young man would dare to talk back to him, a Grandmaster of Martial Arts. His expression changed slightly, but he soon snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"So, is that your reason for breaking the rules of the arena of life and death?" Lin Yun said indifferently.

"You intentionally injured someone, our senior elder Wei from the Baji Sect is a senior elder of the martial arts convention, and we, as disciples of the Baji Sect, also have the responsibility to maintain the order of the martial arts convention. Your behavior is suspected of disrupting the order of the martial arts convention.

Naturally, I have a reason to stop you," Qin Daoming said, his eyes slightly squinted.

"Hehe, you disciples of the Baji Sect have the responsibility to maintain the order of the martial arts convention, then I wonder, do you know about how this disciple of your Baji Sect has been using his words to threaten a woman?" Lin Yun said with a mocking smile.

"What you are talking about is your imagination, I don't want to argue with you about it. It's known to many that you insulted our Baji Sect, it's not a false accusation. Since you dared to insult our Baji Sect, then I have a duty to settle the score with you. You don't think highly of our Baji Sect, right? Here is the arena of life and death.

Do you dare to fight with me?" Qin Daoming snorted coldly and said.

"What? Asking Lin Yi to fight him?"

"Isn't this too shameless?"

"He is a Grandmaster of Martial Arts and should be in his sixties or seventies, right? Lin Yi is only in his early twenties and only has the strength of the Mingjin peak!"

"How can he say such things?"

Upon hearing Qin Daoming's words, the crowd broke into uproar and commented simultaneously.

"But we can't say it like that, Lin Yi insulted the Baji Sect first, naturally, he has to bear the consequences. Now only a common Grandmaster of Martial Arts has stepped forward, and Wei Donglai, who is in the later stage of the transcending realm, has not stepped forward. They are already being very merciful..."

"Yes, so, disasters come out of the mouth, and not every word can be said..."

"A sect should not be insulted by anyone at will, right?"

"A fit of anger for a beauty, we can understand Lin Yi's behavior in instigating Zhong Nan, but it was too impulsive. Now, they have caught him by the handle and are knocking at his door..."

There were also some people who felt jealous of Lin Yun's might and shook their heads.

"First of all, there is one thing that I need to clarify to you..." Lin Yun said, looking at Qin Daoming who was being so shameless even though he was a Grandmaster of Martial Arts.

"What is it?" Qin Daoming asked subconsciously.

"It's about me insulting the Baji Sect just now..." Lin Yun said indifferently.

"Hmph! You're only thinking of clarifying it now, isn't it too late?"

"Exactly, he spoke so arrogantly just now and now he knows to regret..."

"Now he's admitting it, it's too late. Doesn't he know that if they want to find a reason, they can find one? How can they give up on this one?"

"Correct, he even dared to ruin Zhong Nan. That's Wei Donglai's disciple. How can the Baji Sect let it go..."

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, some people around immediately began to laugh.
