Dragon Martial Sovereign

Lin Fan said, "Uncle Lin, you're right. Although breaking through to the Supreme Realm is difficult, what I want to say is... in all the realms I've faced before, I have attempted to reach the Supreme Realm, and each time, I've been successful. So, this time I'm not planning to give up either; I intend to continue challenging the Supreme Realm!"

"Er..."

Lin Zizai fell silent.

It wasn't that Lin Zizai didn't want to speak, but under the current circumstances, even he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Lin Zizai then said, "I'm just now realizing that you, you're truly a demon!"

Lin Fan just grinned sheepishly.

Lin Zizai went on to say, "By the way, my noble nephew, since you're going to challenge the Supreme Realm, I support you. Is there anything you need me to do? Whatever it is, as long as it's within my power, I'll find a way to help you reach the Supreme Realm as soon as possible!"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and shook his head, "Uncle Lin, when it comes to breaking through to the Supreme Realm, others really can't provide assistance. All this, I have to rely on myself, so..."

Lin Zizai nodded, "Okay, I understand what you mean!"

After a pause, Lin Zizai added, "Right, since I can't help you, let me test your combat skills here. This place is the 'Absolute Zero Land,' and it's very beneficial to improve fighting strength here."

"Good!"

Lin Fan wasn't shy about accepting the challenge.

Subsequently, Lin Fan and Lin Zizai waged a huge battle right there.

Naturally, Lin Zizai suppressed his cultivation to a certain degree to match Lin Fan's; otherwise, how could Lin Fan stand a chance against him?

Even with Lin Zizai suppressing his cultivation, Lin Fan was still no match for him. At first, Lin Fan was completely dominated, but as the battle continued, he gradually got the hang of it and was barely able to hold his own.

...

At the summit of Central Mountain!

By this time, even more people had gathered here.

It was so crowded that one could say there was a sea of people.

In the very center of the summit of Central Mountain, a fighting arena had been set up.

From the outside, the arena didn't look very big; it was only about the size of a soccer field. But that was just the surface. The arena had its own mysteries within; space was manipulated by those who set it up. In reality, the arena was incredibly huge, with an internal space spanning tens of miles, more than enough for two experts to wage a massive battle.

Moreover, the arena was surrounded by powerful Arrays, designed to block the energy that might escape during the fight to prevent any harm to the people outside.

On the arena, a young man stood quietly.

This person was none other than Lin Tian.

Lin Tian stood there like a towering mountain, exuding an aura of insurmountability.

Feeling Lin Tian's momentum, many people in the crowd couldn't help but sigh, thinking, "This Lin Tian is indeed strong, truly worthy of being within the top five thousand ranks of the Dragon List. Just the aura he emits is oppressive!"

"Yes, Lin Tian is so powerful. With such strength, I'd bet that Lin Fan is no match for him!"

"Why not place a bet on how many moves Lin Fan can withstand against Lin Tian?"

"I think Lin Fan can last at most ten moves against Lin Tian. What do you all think?"

"Ten moves? You think too highly of Lin Fan. Given how amazing Lin Tian is, it would be impressive if Lin Fan could last three moves, let alone ten! That's just wishful thinking!"

Everyone was discussing fervently, but most people believed that Lin Fan was certainly no match for Lin Tian.

Despite some mysterious forces previously promoting Lin Fan in secret, they still felt that it was just a bluff and that it could not change the outcome of Lin Fan's inevitable defeat.

On the arena!

Lin Tian, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and declared loudly, "The day is already half over, but Lin Fan hasn't arrived yet. If he still hasn't come by evening, then this battle will be counted as his loss. Afterward, no matter where I encounter him, I can personally slay him!"

After a brief pause, Lin Tian continued with a chuckle, "However, I think that waste, Lin Fan, probably doesn't dare to come, haha!"

Lin Tian was extremely arrogant.

It was clear that Lin Tian was very confident in his own strength.

To know, Lin Tian had already been very strong before, and in the past month, he had gained new opportunities. He believed that with his current strength, he would only need a few moves to kill Lin Fan.

Some people in the crowd began to echo Lin Tian's boasting.

"Right, Lin Fan doesn't dare to come."

"Hmph, Lin Fan? Just a weakling unworthy of being compared to Young Hero Lin Tian."

"That trash Lin Fan—if he doesn't show up today, it's his good fortune. If he does come, he's headed for certain death!"

These people spoke loudly on purpose so Lin Tian could hear them, blatantly flattering him.

Hearing these words, Lin Tian seemed very pleased and burst into a hearty laugh.

"Waste, Lin Fan!"

"Trash, Lin Fan!"

Ultimately, Lin Tian shouted out again.

"Waste, Lin Fan!"

"Trash, Lin Fan!"

Many people in the crowd followed Lin Tian's lead, joining in the shouting, and some couldn't help but laugh out loud as well.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the summit of Central Mountain was incredibly lively.

Meanwhile, in a certain area, a shaded pavilion had been erected, and beneath it sat a dozen people. These were key figures of the Gaitian Alliance, one of whom was the Vice Alliance Hierarch.

An elder of the Gaitian Alliance spoke to the Vice Alliance Hierarch, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, if nothing unexpected happens today, within two to three moves, Lin Tian will surely slaughter Lin Fan!"

"Mhm!"

The Vice Alliance Hierarch nodded, seeming somewhat pleased, and said, "Speaking of which, our Gaitian Alliance hasn't made any major moves for a long time, and many people have nearly forgotten about us. Today is just the opportunity to propel our Gaitian Alliance to new heights. According to the Alliance Hierarch's plans, we are about to leave Ten Thousand Mountains. However, before we set out, we must make a name for ourselves, and today presents just that opportunity!"

Upon hearing the Vice Alliance Hierarch's words, everyone was overjoyed, and someone exclaimed in surprise, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, does this mean that the Alliance Hierarch is finally going to take action? That's fantastic, haha!"

The Vice Alliance Hierarch did not respond; he merely smiled nonchalantly.
