The orange-red Inner Qi flames suddenly surged, this was Lin's last moment, and his Inner Qi was about to burn out, the opportunity lay in this final second.
His arms slowly lifted, and Lin felt as if thousands of needles were piercing through his body; every movement triggered that sharp pain.
But none of that mattered anymore; he had succeeded.
Lin's trembling hand grasped the Bald Man's ankle. His palm shook slightly, and if one looked closely, they could see his fingers tapping in a certain rhythm; this was not just simple trembling.
"Damn it! Yellow monkey, do you still want to resist?"
The Bald Man clearly did not notice Lin's actions. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped down heavily, the weight of his combat boots crashing onto Lin's back.
"Ugh!"
Blood spilled from Lin's throat as his body curled up like a shrimp, the orange-red flames around him extinguished by that stomp!
Flames flickered everywhere, and Lin's face grew paler; he looked so miserable that it seemed he could die at any moment.
"Yellow monkey, you can die now!"
The Bald Man cruelly laughed, lifting his leg high. Inner Qi gathered in his leg, and there was no doubt that when he stomped down, Lin would undoubtedly perish.
On the ground, Lin moved his body slowly to get up. His long hair fell around him, revealing only a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
The fifth second had long passed; calculating the time, it was almost over.
Facing the Bald Man's lethal attack, Lin seemed oblivious. He got up on his own, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and softly uttered a phrase.
"Boom!"
The chilling words had barely left his mouth when a sudden, miserable scream erupted from behind him.
"Bang!"
A tremendous explosion sounded behind Lin, and a rain of blood poured down!
Blood splattered, drenching Lin's hair and back, falling onto the pristine snow like a red rose blooming suddenly, stunningly beautiful.
Looking back at the Bald Man, Lin saw that everything below his thighs had vanished, replaced by a pool of thick blood that had exploded outward; the blood just now had come from his legs.
The sudden blast had knocked the Bald Man unconscious. Even a Level 0 martial artist could not withstand the dual impact of Inner Strength and severed legs.
The previous five seconds had merely been Lin's setup.
The first four seconds were meant to lower the Bald Man's guard, making him believe that even if he fought with all his might, he would only manage to sever Lin's mechanical arm.
Lin had calculated that if he recklessly fought back, he could use the Left-Handed Blade to severely injure the Bald Man, but it would come at a cost of a ninety percent chance of death for himself.
In the end, Lin chose to use strategy; as the saying goes, all's fair in war. At the brink of life and death, his moral compass clearly held no weight.
Thus, he spent four seconds pretending to be severely injured for the Bald Man to see. In the final second, he quietly unleashed the Bone-Softening Palm to catch him off guard.
The Bone-Softening Palm was known for its softness and lack of power; initially, the recipient would feel nothing. However, at the moment of impact, flesh and bone would explode into fragments, creating a scene of blood rain.
This sinister technique needed to be executed in such a manner to showcase its true power. Lin's practical application this time was very successful.
Slowly standing up, Lin wore a victorious smile on his lips. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shot a cold smile at the unconscious bald man before turning to look into the distance.
...
The Live Streamer hovered in mid-air, its transparent body gradually fading away to reveal its true form. It had been Live Streaming the entire time, broadcasting all of Lin's actions.
Red Radiance flickered, and the Live Streamer felt relieved. It hadn't expected that a Level 0 warrior could defeat Lin; his ability to hold on was beyond everyone's expectations.
The Live Streaming chat was already in an uproar, with people staring incredulously at the Virtual Screen, where they saw the figure standing proudly in the snow. The comments began to roll in as they started cheering.
——
"I can't believe it, bro, did he win?"
"Lin is indeed a master. If I saw correctly just now, his Inner Strength doesn't reach that level; he must have used some secret technique to forcefully enhance it."
"Can someone tell me how that guy from the Sharp-Toothed Race suddenly ended up half-paralyzed?"
"Ancient Martial Arts! It has to be Ancient Martial Arts! Only Ancient Martial Arts could have such power!"
...
——
What followed was a continuous stream of donations. As everyone witnessed such a thrilling battle, they couldn't help but cheer for Lin.
The way they expressed their excitement was through donations, which flooded in like a wave.
This is the most vivid scene since Lin's arrival. The continuous stream of "666," "50," "1111," and "114" is overwhelming, and those lurking Tycoons have finally opened their wallets.
To get something out of those Tycoons and Interstellar Warriors, one must earn their recognition, and Lin Jin has already achieved that with his performance.
Clearly, he has triumphed over stronger opponents; such a powerful figure in cross-level battles will earn respect wherever they go, regardless of their level.
When Lin grows up, he will be a formidable presence, possibly invincible at his level, and challenging those above him will become a norm.
Thanks to the crazy rewards received today, Lin's Hero Coins have skyrocketed. The four thousand he had previously spent have been replenished, effectively doubling his total, and it looks like his Hero Coins will surpass ten thousand.
...
In the distance, about five hundred meters away, Dream Source gasped as she collapsed to the ground.
Behind her lay the unconscious Liya. Due to the powerful impact of bullets, Liya's shoulder and chest were severely injured, and she had lost too much blood, showing no signs of waking up anytime soon.
Liya needs urgent medical attention; if it weren't for the medicine Lin had given her, she might not have survived this ordeal.
But at this moment, none of that matters. Lin has won the battle; everything from here on out is bound to progress positively.
The sudden explosion startled Dream Source, and when she turned around to see that proud figure standing tall, she instantly felt her strength drain away.
The tension that had been building up relaxed all at once; her taut muscles loosened, and she could no longer muster any energy as she slumped down into the snow.
"My boyfriend... won?"
She murmured softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses, wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and quickly waved her hand at Lin, shouting loudly, "Boyfriend, I'm here!"
...
In the distance, Lin raised his head, his bloodshot eyes gradually returning to normal.
In his gaze was Dream Source's gentle smile. Seeing her safe and sound, Lin Ye smiled.
The two shared a tacit understanding as Dream Source extended her arm, the blue Contract Patterns shimmering on it. Dream Source was actively channeling energy to Lin.
Feeling the rapid recovery of his Inner Strength, Lin smiled, and the blue patterns on his forehead also began to shimmer.
At that moment, everything felt so beautiful, a sense of survival after disaster.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, the sound of a Laser Gun suddenly rang out. A blue laser beam traced a beautiful arc through the air and struck Lin's chest.
Lin's expression froze in shock as he felt a powerful impact on his body before collapsing to the ground.
