Zhu Kang clearly felt the change in Lin Yifan's strength. This feeling, seeming both real and unreal, made it difficult to ascertain the reason.

The Medicine Saint, observing from the shadows, suddenly noticed something amiss. The Martial Arts Lin Yifan was using seemed mixed with other Martial Arts, appearing similar on the surface but vastly different in reality.

He didn't know if these Martial Arts were Lin Yifan's own insights or acquired from cultivating other Secret Manuals, so further observation was needed to form a conclusion.

Every move of the Immortal Level Martial Arts landing on Zhu Kang's sword made him feel extremely strained.

This power was already equal to his current strength, meaning he might not be able to take down Lin Yifan.

To him, this was a humiliation.

He was at a much higher Realm than Lin Yifan and could also fight beyond his level. If he couldn't take down Lin Yifan, he would surely be laughed at.

Humiliated, Zhu Kang attacked with full force to decisively face off against Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan was struggling like never before; Zhu Kang was indeed strong, and he had underestimated him.

Even if he used Immortal Level Martial Arts, he might only manage a tie with Zhu Kang or mutually injure each other.

However, having come this far, he had no way out.

If he didn't make Cui Libin pay the due price today, he would not rest.

Sword clashed against sword, sparking resplendent fireworks.

The disciples present were all stunned, never expecting Lin Yifan to have such strength. But why hadn't he used it against Cui Libin before? If he had this power then, perhaps Cui Libin would have been defeated.

Cui Libin, recovering on the stage, was deeply shaken. It turned out Lin Yifan had strength he hadn't shown before, rendering his loss not unjust, indeed not unjust.

On another side, Lin Yifan's strength amazed Xiao Fang.

She originally thought Lin Yifan could at most defeat a Cultivator at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Peak, but to still have the strength to fight against a Cultivator at the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Early Stage was truly awe-inspiring, leaving her in utter admiration.

At this moment, her eyes held nothing but admiration.

"So strong! How can he be so strong?"

Even Du Yuze, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but marvel. When he was at Lin Yifan's Realm, he certainly didn't have such power, and thus he was impressed by Lin Yifan.

At a distance, there were other strong figures watching, including the senior brother Bai Chu.

Bai Chu watched to see what abilities this new junior brother had that were valued so highly by their Master.

Now he had his answer.

Lin Yifan's abilities far surpassed his own. If they fought in the same Realm, he might not be able to defeat Lin Yifan.

This was very bad news, as it meant he might be abandoned by his Master.

"The victor becomes the king, the loser a bandit. I look forward to that day coming!"

Bai Chu resigned himself; some things are unavoidable. What is meant to come, will come.

Many elders from the Medicinal Saint Valley were drawn to the battle, deeply shocked when they saw Lin Yifan holding his ground against Zhu Kang at the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Early Stage.

Lin Yifan and Zhu Kang were a whole Great Realm apart, yet they were evenly matched. It was unbelievable.

"How can this kid be so strong? What Martial Arts is he using?"

"It's normal, isn't it? They're Martial Arts we all have."

"No! It seems he's mixed some techniques into the Martial Arts he's using." An astute elder sensed something.

"Oh! It really is!"

"Did he come up with this himself, or did he learn it from some higher-level Martial Arts?"

"I don't know, but this kid is very suspicious. He might have picked up some peerless Martial Arts in a small world."

"If that's true, he must hand it over!"

Lin Yifan had successfully caught the attention of the Medicinal Saint Valley's higher-ups, and he feared the Super Martial Arts he'd acquired would be forcibly taken from him.

In battle, Lin Yifan continuously and cautiously employed Immortal Level Martial Arts; he thought he was flawlessly hiding it, assuming not too many would notice, but unfortunately, he was wrong. Elders and the Medicine Saint, proficient in large amounts of Martial Arts, wouldn't be fooled by him.

At present, the most important thing was to defeat Zhu Kang; he couldn't afford distractions.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Strike after fierce strike, the two were at an impasse.

Zhu Kang, enraged by the prolonged stalemate, was the one most embarrassed. After all, he was in a leading position, holding the upper hand in every aspect.

Angrily and disgraced, he began to build up for his strongest strike.

He poured all his power into this strike, aiming to swiftly take down Lin Yifan.

Everyone sensed Zhu Kang's change, including Lin Yifan.

The opponent's power had risen to another Realm, terrifyingly strong.

"What's Senior Brother Zhu planning? Is he about to use his strongest technique?"

"This is his renowned move! To use it on this new junior brother, he must really be out of options."

"Should the new junior brother be happy or scared?"

Many wondered, as Senior Brother Zhu held him in surprisingly high regard.

On the other side, Xiao Fang was restless, filled with dread and fear that Lin Yifan might be killed by Junior Brother Zhu.

Yet she had no means to stop this pride-driven battle between men and could only silently pray: "Yifan! If you can't take it, don't be stubborn, hurry and go!"

In the distance, Du Yuze slightly curled his lip. To push Zhu Kang to this extent, Lin Yifan was the first among low-Realm Cultivators, proving Lin Yifan's considerable prowess indeed.

"Old Five! Your disciple is about to use his strongest strike."

"Haha! There's no choice, the Valley Master's disciple is truly remarkable!"

The Fifth Elder of the Medicinal Saint Valley felt a moment of loss, but quickly let go because having such an impressive disciple was an honor for the Medicinal Saint Valley, and he ought to feel proud of it.

With power fully charged, slain with fury, Zhu Kang approached with his vibrating sharp sword: "Ah!!! Bastard, die!"

"Dragon and Tiger Devouring Heaven Sword, massacre all around!"

"Boom!"

The space around the arena trembled violently as a power at the Divine Transformation Forth Realm Middle Stage burst forth from Zhu Kang, sweeping all around.

Below the arena, low-Realm Cultivators glanced at each other, filled with fear.

This power was too terrifying, and if it were them, they would have no ability to resist. Even many Cultivators at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Peak thought so, let alone Lin Yifan at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage.

Thus, they believed Lin Yifan was undoubtedly defeated.

Just when everyone thought Lin Yifan would choose to retreat, he instead wielded his Treasured Sword, confronting it head-on.

"Doesn't he want to live? Doesn't he know that's Senior Brother Zhu's strongest strike?"

"Insane! Crazy! For pride, is it really worth it?"

"Ah! Stubborn people die embarrassingly."

"Yifan! Hurry and leave! You can't withstand this strike!"

Even Xiao Fang, who trusted Lin Yifan the most, believed he couldn't endure this sword strike, for it was too terrifying.
