"It really can't wait."

Ling Yunfei shook his head and forced a bitter smile.

"Those who provoke it often meet bad ends."

Qin Feiyang responded with an indifferent smile. If we don't draw the Wolf King next, that will be a different story. But if we do, Cheng Ming will surely meet a tragic end.

"Can't you stay put for a while?"

Jiang Zhengyi felt helpless too. If we could have dispatched it earlier, we would have. There was no need to let Xie Fang lose face.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Cut the chatter!" the Wolf King urged.

Jiang Zhengyi's face darkened. He directed his Battle Intent into the wooden token, lifted a finger slightly, and a bamboo stick flew out.

Looking at the name he drew, Jiang Zhengyi couldn't help frowning. "Lin Huo!"

"Damn it!"

"Does it even have Brother Wolf's name on any of these?"

The Wolf King was greatly displeased. He turned his head and looked at Lin Huo. "You're cut from the same cloth as Xie Fang. Stop wasting time and just concede."

Jiang Zhengyi barked, "Get lost!"

If he didn't know the Wolf King's background so well, he would have suspected it was a spy sent by Pan County specifically to undermine their morale.

The Wolf King unwillingly retreated to Qin Feiyang's side.

Lin Huo looked at the Wolf King, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. Then, he suddenly leaped up, his aura violently erupting.

When he landed, he didn't utter a single word before directing his Return to Origin Palm toward Cheng Ming's chest.

It was direct and ruthless.

The wind from his palm was chilling, like sharp blades slicing toward Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming smirked and dodged it expertly with a slight tilt of his body.

At the same time, he extended a large hand, True Qi rolling mightily, and reached for Lin Huo's arm.

"We've won again."

The father and daughter, King Pan, were all smiles.

However, Lin Huo didn't panic at all.

He calmly activated his auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, swiftly evaded to the side, and executed his Overlord Fist, throwing a punch toward Cheng Ming's temple.

"Huh!"

Qin Feiyang was surprised. Lin Huo's reactions are so fast? I remember when he fought me, he had no combat awareness whatsoever. How has he improved so much in such a short time?

Cheng Ming, however, was obviously not to be underestimated.

Just as Lin Huo's fist was about to hit his temple, Cheng Ming suddenly jerked his head backward, avoiding the deadly blow.

His face wore a look of derision.

But at that moment, Lin Huo's clenched fist suddenly opened, and he slapped Cheng Ming straight across the face.

SMACK!

The sound was crisp and clear, shockingly loud.

The red imprint of a palm slap rapidly appeared on Cheng Ming's face, extremely conspicuous.

The mockery on his face froze, replaced by disbelief.

The faces of Yan King and his daughter darkened significantly.

Although the slap landed on Cheng Ming's face, their own faces felt as if they were mysteriously burning.

The venue was silent.

The people from Pan County were incredulous. Cheng Ming's combat awareness was renowned; he was qualified to dominate his peers. Yet, he'd been slapped? Were they dreaming? How could a pampered native of Yan Province react so quickly?

Not to mention them, even people like Jiang Zhengyi had never expected Lin Huo's performance to be so astonishing.

This slap served as a key turning point.

It greatly boosted the morale of the Crown Prince and the others.

"He seems to have undergone a complete transformation," Ling Yunfei muttered. "He's like a completely different person from the Lin Huo I knew."

Lin Hao said proudly, "Never underestimate anyone from the Lin family."

"Actually, Qin Feiyang, it's all thanks to you," Elder Lin said with a gratified and proud smile.

"Instead of being discouraged after losing to you last time, Lin Huo has grown more frenzied than ever due to the hatred in his heart."

"Since then, he has been fighting with the family disciples every day."

"Although he hasn't developed a battle instinct yet, his combat experience is far beyond that of his peers."

"No matter how formidable he becomes, it won't change the fact that he's a eunuch," the Wolf King smirked mischievously.

Elder Lin's throat seemed to catch, and he flushed red, his neck veins bulging. A eunuch?! Don't people say 'don't hit a man in the face, don't expose his shortcomings when you curse him'? Has this wolf never heard that? One shouldn't be so unscrupulous! Even if it's a beast and not a person, it should have some upbringing!

He glared angrily at Qin Feiyang and said sternly, "If you don't rein it in, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qin Feiyang offered an apologetic smile. "My apologies, Senior. I'll admonish it right away."

Just then, a furious roar erupted.

"Damn bastard! How dare you hit me!"

It was Cheng Ming, roaring in fury.

His facial features were almost distorted, his eyes filled with malevolence as he glared at Lin Huo, as if he wanted to devour him alive!

Lin Huo didn't respond, just watched him coldly.

But it was precisely because of this that Cheng Ming grew even more infuriated!

WHOOSH!

He took a step forward, and his speed instantly tripled!

"He has also mastered an auxiliary Martial Arts Technique!"

"And it's a top-grade auxiliary Martial Arts Technique at that!"

The expressions of the Crown Prince and the others changed dramatically.

"I... concede!" Lin Huo finally spoke.

He was only a Two-star Martial Ancestor. If his opponent hadn't possessed an auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, he might have chanced an all-out fight. But now, if they continued, he would undoubtedly be the one to suffer. His concession was also different in meaning from Xie Fang's. Xie Fang had surrendered without any ability to fight back, beaten like a dog. Lin Huo, at least, had managed to land a slap on Cheng Ming. Though it was just one slap, for anyone, it was an immense humiliation. Most importantly, *he* was unscathed.

However, Cheng Ming turned a deaf ear! He was enraged. If I don't kill this man, I'll go mad!

Jiang Zhengyi said indifferently, "King Pan, are you just going to watch him run amok?"

Though his tone was calm, it carried an astonishing killing intent.

King Pan shouted, "Cheng Ming, stop this instant!"

Cheng Ming shuddered and stopped abruptly, a cold sweat breaking out all over him.

He knew that Yan Province currently had three War Emperors in residence. If he truly killed this man, he would undoubtedly die on the spot as well. Not even King Pan and his three companions could save him. Because he would have broken the rules! Rules that, moreover, had been established by their own Pan County, making his transgression even more severe. Yet, if he didn't wash away this humiliation, he would surely become a laughingstock in the future.

When Lin Huo passed him, Cheng Ming sneered in a low voice, "You were smart to concede. But don't think you'll leave Pan County alive!"

"I was too hasty and didn't use enough force just now," Lin Huo retorted mockingly. "Otherwise, the palm print on your face would be even more obvious." He then turned and strode away.

CRACK!

Cheng Ming's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked. He stared at Lin Huo's departing back, his eyes blazing with a terrifyingly malevolent aura.

"Pavilion Master, Elder Lin, Elder Jia, I'm sorry," Lin Huo said as he walked over, his head bowed. He had intended to win a battle, but his opponent's strength far surpassed his expectations.

"It's alright." Elder Lin waved his hand and said with a smile, "That slap was more exciting than defeating him."

Jiang Zhengyi and Jia Hei also nodded in agreement, their faces full of smiles.

"Enough of this nonsense!" Cheng Ming declared with a sinister smile, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. "Let me make this clear to you all: from now on, for every person you send up, I'll kill one. I'll keep killing until you're so terrified you won't dare to compete anymore!"

"Damn it all! This is infuriating!" The Wolf King, flustered and exasperated, turned to Lin Huo and Xie Fang and roared, "You can't even deal with such a piece of trash? What's the point of you still being alive? Go find a block of tofu and bash your heads in, so you stop being an eyesore!"

"You shut up!"

"Didn't you see he's a Three Star Martial Ancestor with a superior auxiliary Martial Arts Technique?"

"How do you expect us to fight?"

"If you're so capable, go yourself; you'll definitely end up in a worse situation than us!"

Lin Huo and Xie Fang were seething with rage. This beast is completely unreasonable! It doesn't even consider the situation and just stands there yelling. Easy for it to say, it's not the one taking the hits!

The Wolf King said disdainfully, "He's just trash. If *I* were to go up, I'd take care of him in a jiffy!"

Just then, Jiang Zhengyi's voice announced, "Next, Wei Feng."

"Not me again?" The Wolf King instantly flew into a rage, roaring, "Which bastard is Wei Feng?"

"Me."

A youth from the royal family stepped forward.

The Wolf King reared up on its hind legs, scrutinized him for a moment, then waved a paw. "Get lost! With your pathetic skills, you wouldn't even be enough to get stuck in his teeth!"

Wei Feng instantly fumed.

"You wretched wolf pup! See if I don't teach you a lesson!" Jiang Zhengyi could bear it no longer. He shot up and kicked the Wolf King to the ground, roaring, "Settle down! Otherwise, even when it's your turn, I won't let you compete!"

WHINE!

The Wolf King whimpered, looking at Jiang Zhengyi with a resentful gaze.

Jiang Zhengyi slapped his forehead and looked to the heavens, utterly speechless. Why does such a Top Grade character have to exist in this world? It's truly exasperating!

ROAR!

But just then, the Wolf King's savage nature erupted, and it bit Jiang Zhengyi hard on the thigh.

Before Jiang Zhengyi could explode, it hastily let go and fled without a backward glance.

Everyone present was stunned. It even dared to bite Jiang Zhengyi! Was this beast trying to overturn the heavens?

"Damn you, wolf pup! This Pavilion Master will suppress you for ten thousand years!" Jiang Zhengyi was so enraged his hair seemed to stand on end. He had thought the Wolf King had learned its lesson. He hadn't expected it was just distracting him to take a bite!

AHEM!

Elder Lin, holding back his laughter, coughed dryly and reminded, "Master Jiang, do pay attention to your status."

"HMPH! Wait until the competition is over, then I'll deal with you slowly!" Jiang Zhengyi snorted, glared fiercely at the Wolf King, then returned to his chair and barked, "Wei Feng! Are you going to fight or concede? Make it quick!"

"Even if I have to lose, I will lose with dignity!"

Wei Feng took a step out, facing Cheng Ming.

His sheer determination made many look at him with new respect.

Cheng Ming let out a savage laugh, activated his auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, and attacked ferociously.

At this moment, his full strength was on display.

The sharp attacks, like a raging storm, gave Wei Feng no chance to breathe; he could only endure the beating.

In less than five breaths, he was covered in wounds. He was sent flying, a bloody figure, crashing down in front of Qin Feiyang and the others.

The Crown Prince rushed forward immediately.

At this sight, his face turned instantly pale.

Another youth from the royal family quickly squatted down. As he reached a finger toward Wei Feng's nostrils, his arm trembled violently, and he murmured, "He... he killed Second Brother..."

Hearing this, the look in the eyes of Jiang Zhengyi, Jia Hei, and Elder Lin all changed instantly.

An astonishingly cold glint also flickered in Qin Feiyang's eyes.

Cheng Ming sneered, "I told you, from now on, none of you should think about leaving this stage alive!"

"I'll kill you!"

The other youth from the royal family abruptly looked up at Cheng Ming. With a low roar, he charged at Cheng Ming like a madman.

The Crown Prince grabbed him and shouted, "Third Brother, calm down!"
