Not many people responded.
Lin Yan’s gaze was cold as he swept his gaze across the entire venue. He suddenly took a step forward and shattered the entire staircase. The terrifying aura on his body suddenly erupted, as if a wild beast had suddenly taken a heavy step. He shouted, “Did you hear me clearly?!”
Many people, who were originally unconvinced, turned pale when they saw his terrifying aura. They lowered their heads and shouted, “Listen carefully!”
Lin Yan retracted his aura and became harmless again.
However, everyone below the stage revealed a trace of reverence in their eyes and did not dare to look at him.
Lin Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Such a selection, especially in such a hurry, definitely couldn’t be absolutely fair.
If he did not show off his strength at the beginning, there would definitely be people who would not be convinced. Then, the news would spread like wildfire. If it developed to the point where the crowd was agitated, it would be too troublesome to clean up.
Therefore, he might as well be ruthless from the beginning and intimidate everyone. It was a pity that there were no troublemakers. Otherwise, the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys would be even better.
“Now, all participants are divided into two sides according to Strength Realm and Tough Realm. The Strength Realm on the left, and the Tough Realm on the right.”
Everyone arranged themselves according to their positions.
Lin Yan swept his gaze over. There were many people in the Strength Realm, accounting for four-fifths of them. Only one-fifth of them were in the Tough Realm, about twenty of them.
He said expressionlessly, “There were originally ten spots in this selection, but four spots have already been chosen internally in the Demon Suppression Division. Therefore, only six spots are left for you! Four Strength Realm experts and two Tough Realm experts!”
Everyone’s expressions changed, but Lin Yan’s intimidation just now was effective. No one dared to question him.
“People of the Strength Realm, enter first and follow him to the corresponding place. Someone will tell you what to do!”
Song Tian immediately stepped forward and shouted, “Follow me!”
The Strength Realm cultivators immediately followed behind Song Tian in a row.
When all the Strength Realm cultivators entered, Lin Yan swept his gaze across the people at the Tough Realm present and said calmly, “The selection of the Tough Realm is very simple. 1’11 be your opponent, and I’ll also decide the winners!”
The twenty-odd Tough Realm cultivators below were shocked. They had personally experienced Lin Yan’s terrifying aura just now, so they naturally panicked.
Lin Yan didn’t give them any time. He casually pointed at a Tough Realm cultivator in front. “Come in first.”
The one who was pointed at turned pale and naturally followed him in.
The place where they were competing was in the courtyard of Dragon Gate Pavilion. However, there was a wall blocking the audience from seeing what was happening. They could only hear shouts and the sound of fists and palms colliding inside.
Not long after, a disciple of the Dragon Gate Pavilion ran out and casually pointed at another Tough Realm. “Second.”
Everyone was shocked. Where was the first person? Why didn’t he come out?
After a while, the third person was called.
This person had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong build, and an extremely strong physique. After entering, he heaved a sigh of relief. The two people who had just entered were only panting and resting at the side of the courtyard.
However, their faces were pale. From time to time, they would secretly glance at the lord, as if they had seen something extremely unbelievable.
“Lord.” This person bowed respectfully.
Lin Yan nodded. “Do it.”
“Sir…” The man looked hesitant.
“What’s wrong?”
“Lord, I’m good at using the spear. If I’m unarmed, 1 won’t be able to unleash my strength.” After saying that, he carefully held his breath and looked at Lin Yan.
“The spear?”
Lin Yan glanced at him. In Ding’an City, weapon-type martial arts techniques were rare. This person could cultivate his spear to the Tough Realm, so he shouldn’t be an ordinary person.
“There are 18 types of weapons on the weapon rack. Choose one yourself.”
Lin Yan pointed.
“Sir, i brought my own weapon. Can I…”
“Sure.”
The burly man heaved a sigh of relief. This lord was not as strict as he looked on the surface. He was quite easy to talk to.
He immediately jogged out of the door, picked up a large spear from a follower, and returned to the courtyard.
When Lin Yan saw the big spear in the burly man’s hand, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.
No wonder he had to retrieve the spear himself. This spear was made of an unknown material. It was completely black and extremely thick. It was like an iron rod with a sharp head.
Most importantly, it was clearly extremely heavy!
It stirred the air as it waved. It was probably hundreds of kilograms!
The burly man held the spear in his hand and waved it nimbly. He said solemnly, “Sir, be careful!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the spear suddenly stabbed forward. It was as if a huge force erupted on the tip of the spear, piercing through the air!
“Good spear!”
Lin Yan praised him and dodged the spear. The cold wind slashed across his chest. The force was clearly extremely strong, almost exceeding the Tough Realm!
Immediately after, the spear danced like a black cloud and constantly enveloped Lin Yan. However, Lin Yan only stepped forward to dodge. His figure was like a lonely boat in a tsunami, but he remained standing firmly.
The burly man erupted with all his might. Seeing that he couldn’t touch Lin Yan, he couldn’t help but shout, “Lord, be careful!”
The long spear was instantly retracted at his waist. All the strength in his body seemed to have erupted, as if a layer of mist had spread. In the next moment, the long spear suddenly stabbed out. His body moved with the spear and instantly appeared in front of him. “Cloud Piercing Strike!”
“Good attack!”
Lin Yan’s eyes turned serious. He instantly activated his Little Azure Dragon state and his strength surged. He swung his arm and struck the side of the spear, pushing it away. Then, he grabbed the spear and pulled it fiercely.
The burly man felt a sharp pain in his thumb and index finger. He couldn’t hold the spear at all and it was pulled away by Lin Yan.
It was only after Lin Yan took away the spear that he looked at his hands in a daze and then at Lin Yan in shock.
He finally understood why the two of them looked at Lin Yan in disbelief!
After experiencing it and fighting him, he realized that the lord in front of him was actually only at the Tough Realm!
He knew that he was born with extraordinary strength. In the Tough Realm, he had never had any opponents.
However, in the same realm, not only could he not hurt this man at all, but in the end, the man even took away his weapon?
Was this also the Tough Realm?
This was too abnormal!
“What’s your name?”
The burly man smiled bitterly. “Sir, my name is Xia Tang.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yan casually threw the black spear that weighed more than 150 kilograms back to Xia Tang. Then, he turned around and pointed at the left one of the two Tough Realm cultivators standing there like wooden chickens. He said, “You’ve been eliminated. You can leave now.”
The man’s face paled, but he did not refute. He cupped his hands sadly. “Thank you for your guidance, my lord.”
With that, he left dejectedly.
“Xia Tang, go over there and wait.”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. This Xia Tang’s strength was rather shocking. In terms of strength, he had already surpassed the Tough Realm like Fan Xiaopeng. He would probably be able to occupy one of the two spots in the Tough Realm this time.
“Call the next one in!”
