In the Arena, Mu Deng stood relaxed with his hands behind his back, completely dismissing Lin Yin.
"I'll let you use one hand; don't say I'm bullying a girl," Mu Deng said with a smile.
"You should pray for an extra hand instead. Here comes my attack," Lin Yin replied, a smirk playing on her lips as she activated her techniques. The thin stream of Spiritual Energy within her surged, making her body move like the wind as she charged toward Mu Deng.
Mu Deng's casual demeanor faded, replaced by a serious expression. It seemed that Lin Yin was more formidable than he had anticipated.
Never underestimate anyone in battle; that was the lesson his master had instilled in him. With eyes sharp as lightning, he focused on Lin Yin. Although her speed was impressive, he could still gauge her movements.
The two engaged in a fierce exchange, like shadows darting and weaving around each other. Mu Deng had initially intended to hold back half of his strength and face Lin Yin with one hand, but within moments he found himself struggling. He had no choice but to use both hands and go all out. Though he felt he had broken his promise, it was better than being defeated by Lin Yin.
"Bang!"
Mu Deng's foot slammed into the ground, resembling a steel pillar crashing down, creating a deep pit in the marble floor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of shattering marble echoed throughout the Arena, leaving a spiderweb of cracks across the surface.
In terms of practical combat skills, Lin Yin was indeed inferior to Mu Deng at this moment. However, she practiced mystical techniques that granted her agility and swiftness. While Mu Deng's approach was brute force and straightforward, he couldn't get close to Lin Yin. After dozens of exchanges, neither side had gained the upper hand.
Now, Mu Deng felt increasingly anxious; his face flushed red, starkly contrasting with his earlier calm demeanor. He appeared somewhat disheveled.
"Are you playing with me?" Mu Deng shouted angrily. Lin Yin kept evading him without engaging directly, causing his inner energy to boil over in chaos. In contrast, Lin Yin maintained an air of calmness; her skin was as smooth as jade without even a bead of sweat on it. If this continued, Mu Deng would exhaust himself.
"You're just incompetent," Lin Yin chuckled lightly.
Being publicly mocked for incompetence by a young woman was something no man could tolerate. Although Mu Deng had initially respected Lin Yin, now only anger filled him.
"Fine then! Since that's how it is, I won't play with you anymore," Mu Deng declared angrily. His aura surged dramatically as he gathered himself.
As a Master of Transformation and a martial arts prodigy with the deep heritage of Shen Xue Men behind him, Mu Deng was indeed exceptional.
He firmly planted his stance and focused his energy into his Dantian before exhaling a stream of Inner Strength Threads toward Lin Yin.
"It is said that Transformation Realm Experts can project their Inner Energy outward and condense it into threads that can kill with a breath. Seeing it today is truly astonishing," many martial artists watching expressed their admiration.
However, some young martial artists found it hard to believe.
"These Inner Strength Threads are like our breath turning into mist in winter; can such a thin thread really kill? It probably couldn't even cut through a leaf," they scoffed.
Hearing the younger generation's remarks, the elders admonished them seriously. "If you don't understand something, don't speak out of turn. If you offend a master from the Hidden Sect, we would be doomed! And don’t underestimate the Inner Strength Threads of a Master of Transformation; this is genuine energy condensed—it can sever metal and stone and cut through flesh like slicing through watermelon. Just wait and see; if that girl gets touched by these Inner Strength Silk Threads, it will be like being struck by blades—at best she’ll lose limbs; at worst, she’ll lose her life."
"Is it really that powerful?" The younger ones looked on in shock, their eyes wide as they watched the Arena unfold before them.
