After activating his Innate Talent, Lin Fan's transformation gave power beyond his wildest imagination. He gripped his first, creating a small explosion. Nodding in satisfaction with his fleshly body, Lin Fan rushed towards Su Ya, leaving cracks on the arena where he stepped.
Without hesitation, Su Ya waved her hand and the previous masked individual that she summoned appeared in front of her, and he was right in time to receive a powerful punch from Lin Fan.
Crack! The masked man's ribs were broken into many pieces and he was sent flying away. The shockwave of that punch still hit Su Ya, making her vomit a big mouthful of blood. Without pause or hesitation, he rushed towards his enemy to quickly finish her.
However, what he hit this time again was the masked man. Somehow, Su Ya managed to instantly exchange positions with him. This time, Lin Fan hit this man's head, and his cranium was shattered. However, the masked individual did not scream in pain but instead groaned with pleasure.
Enraged by this reaction, Lin Fan started a non-stop barrage of attacks on him. His fists moved so fast that multiple shadows could be seen. A powerful shockwave occurred with each attack, and the entire arena trembled. After more than 30 seconds without stopping, the masked man fell to the ground in front of Lin Fan.
By now, he was unrecognizable as all the 206 bones in his body were completely pulverized. Oddly though, his mouth--which was revealed after his mask was partly destroyed--had a joyous smile on it.
Unfortunately for Lin Fan, before he could rejoice at his new victory, the destroyed masked man turned into a liquid goo for a few seconds before a new and intact person appeared. Moreover, his aura was way stronger than previously.
Noticing something wrong, Lin Fan raised his head to see Su Ya holding a mass of green light. Additionally, countless green lights traveled from members of the audience into the green light in her pain. Just by looking at that light, Lin Fan felt a tinge of pain.
After the green light reached a certain intensity, Su Ya threw it into the masked man, and his aura dramatically increased.
Immediately, Lin Fan understood how this masked man functioned; the more pain it receives, the stronger it becomes. His mind rapidly calculates and he figures out that Su Ya probably used this technique as a way to heal herself, but also to fight people with powerful fleshly bodies.
Nevertheless, Lin Fan did not care, and he had good reason for being so confident. After the masked man--who was actually referred to as the Sadist Man by Su Ya--absorbed all the pain from the members of the audience, his power dramatically increased.
So, he opened his mouth and a powerful dark energy beam; the space around him trembled as the energy traveled, not to mention how fast it was traveling.
Yet, it was no use.
As soon as that beam hit Lin Fan, it was gone; there was no reaction whatsoever. It was like throwing a stone into a lake, but there was no ripple. The Sadist Man did not stop attacking as more and more beams were shot from his mouth, but it was no use.
"Don't waste your time," said Lin Fan with a smirk on his face. "Everything comes from Chaos, and everything will one day return to it. Alright, now, let's end this charade."
Raising his hand slowly, he said: "Grandmist Annihilation."
A yellow mist came from his hand and enveloped the Sadist Man, and then, he was gone. There was no scream, no explosion, no shake or sound, and there was no light; he was just gone, annihilated.
"Oh is this possible?" said Su Ya.
"Nothing is impossible for me," replied Lin Fan.
"What kind of power is this?" she asked with her voice trembling slightly.
With a smirk on his face, Lin Fan said: "When the universe was in a state of chaos, Grandmist existed. Thus, it has the ability to turn everything it touches back to chaos, back to a state of nothingness."
Su Ya had a shocked expression on her face after hearing this, but internally, she was sneering.
'This Lin Fan has made too many rookie mistakes during this battle. He was easily influenced by my words, he underestimated his opponent, he became too cocky too quickly, he did not seem to have any research or knowledge of my abilities before the match, and now, he is even explaining his own ability to his opponent.
'Well, I guess this should be the result of him growing in the Lower Realm and never actually having a real challenge in his life. All the geniuses that he fought there were probably easily suppressed by him. Adding to the fact that he was bullied by his family before his physique awakening, he probably developed this showy personality.'
"It does not matter how powerful your Innate Talent is," said Su Ya with a 'weak' voice. "I will not lose so easily." Then, countless tattoos and symbols appeared on her body, a powerful mist came out of her body as well and rushed towards Lin Fan.
With a snap of his finger, the yellow Grandmist annihilated hers. After that, Lin Fan just bombed her with his ability, and after struggling for a little while, she admitted defeat with a sad tone in her voice.
Then, the audience started yelling: "Lin Fan!" over and over. Basking in the cheer of the crowd, Lin Fan was very satisfied; people finally realized how capable he was. So, without pause, he challenged Jian Wushuang--who was ranked higher than Su Ya.
He knew that this battle would be more difficult as his opponent once defeated Su Ya, but Lin Fan was not scared; he had the utmost confidence in his [Chas Demon God Body].
And Lin Fan was correct. Although he struggled more during his battle with Jian Wushuang because of how powerful swordsman's attacks are, he was still the final victor after suffering from a few minor injuries.
After that, the crowd almost lost their minds to how much they cheered him up. As they view Lin Fan as an underdog trying to show these proud Heaven Chosens that even with a humble background, they could still reach the top and defeat them. So, they encouraged him to continue his challenge, and he did so.
After taking a pill to heal, Lin Fan directly challenged Ji Song. This battle was truly legendary as the number 1 and 2 Heavenly Physiques confronted one another. Throughout the countless Eras of the Myriad Emperor World, only a few generations had the fate to witness such an event.
And the battle lived to everybody's expectations.
Although Lin Fan was heavily injured afterward--especially after Ji Song used his Innate Talent--he was still the final victor. To please his fans, he told them that he would take a few days off to heal before challenging Di Tian, then after he wins, he will challenge Wang Wei.
Lin Fan knew that he was not yet the match of these two, but he was prepared. He learned a great deal from the previous battles, and after processing his gains during it, his strength would increase dramatically. Additionally, he would use the Dual Cultivation method with his new wife, Xi Shi, to increase his strength.
So, before the battle with Di Tian, Lin Fan spent a few days in heavenly bliss with not just Xi Shi, but all of his wives and concubines.
Meanwhile, in the fighting arena, the audience saw Lin Fan raise his hand, then stopped as if he was frozen; he stood there for a few minutes without even moving.
As for Su Ya, she sneered as she looked at the frozen Lin Fan.
'Although your Innate Talent provides you with a powerful fleshly body and unmatched destructive power, it does not protect your mind. With these unchecked ambitions and neverending lust, do you think you could escape from me? Moreover, this time, your Soul Protection Treasure cannot save you, or your Chaos Qi.'
She took out her bow and arrow and fired an attack called [Broken-Heart Arrow]. The arrow hit Lin Fan but did not punch anything or leave any mark on him. However, soon afterward, he screamed louder than any squealing pig.
Waking up from the embrace of pleasure, Lin Fan felt a terrible pain running all over his body; this pain was not physical, but emotional. It was like all his wives had cheated on him with his worst enemies.
Soon after, he fell to the ground, passing out even before hitting the floor. Many members of the audience were confused about what happened, while few people who understood what happened had similar thoughts: what a terrifying illusion, what a terrifying Innate Talent.
Of course, Su Ya was the only one who truly knew about the terror of her Innate Talent called [Ultimate Illusion of Desires], which has the ability to create a perfect illusion based on the victim's emotions and desires.
No one can escape from this ability as long as they have any emotions and desires--even the most basic desire to live. And if a person does not have any emotions or desires, then that person is not living.
After Lin Fan's defeat, Su Ya left. If given the opportunity, she would kill him on the spot, but she knew that the Academy would never allow such a thing to happen in their homecourt.
After the battle ended, she flew to her sect's floating booth. As soon as she entered, she sighed and immediately sat down. The first thing she did was to check inside the Divine Sea where seven books were floating.
"To prevent his Chaos Qi from intervening, I had to use their powers, but the strain they placed on my body was more severe than I anticipated," muttered Su Ya.
After making sure that everything was alright, she discovered that a new situation had developed in the arena.
