Bam!

Zhou Chenghang’s blood and energy surged as if his internal organs were filled with bombs that exploded all at once.

He took Lin Tian’s punch steadily, but due to inertia, Zhou Chenghang’s body was thrown backwards.

As he was about to fall, suddenly someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

Before Zhou Chenghang could see who it was, his right index finger was suddenly twisted back hard.

Crack...

A crisp sound echoed at his finger joint.

As the saying goes, ten fingers are linked to the heart.

A broken finger brings piercing pain.

At the same time, beneath Zhou Chenghang’s neck, someone tapped twice, making it impossible for him to scream in pain.

The incense at Five Pure Ones Temple was too abundant, and with so many worshippers present, Lin Tian didn’t want this fool’s scream to attract everyone’s attention, as it would greatly damage his image.

Now, holding his finger, the two handsome men looked like old friends.

Others couldn’t see the situation, but the eight strong men recognized it, exchanging glances and then charging together, surrounding Lin Tian like an ambush from all sides.

Suddenly, Lin Tian frowned.

Each of these eight men possessed Inner Strength, and their explosive power was formidable.

Their abilities were each at the low-tier Martial Artist level.

Though not high for Lin Tian, having eight appear at once was quite impressive.

The clash of fists and feet was fierce; if Lin Tian were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t survive even one round before needing hospitalization.

"Open!"

Lin Tian spread his arms wide and shouted, and instantly, his entire body’s Spiritual Qi radiated outward.

Boom~

At this moment, Lin Tian resembled a grenade, his dispersed Spiritual Qi’s power likened to an explosion, with an impact that was irresistible to flesh.

The Wang Family disciples first heard Lin Tian’s shout, nearly bursting their eardrums.

Then, a massive shockwave directly knocked them down into the snow, an irresistible external force invading their bodies relentlessly.

In a flash, they felt a stabbing pain throughout, like being pricked with needles.

Next, their Inner Strength began to stagnate, unable to circulate, and worse, their blood started flowing backward!

One face after another turned pale as if all blood had been drained, looking ghastly.

Some began greedily inhaling, but no matter how they tried, it felt like their throats were blocked, unable to breathe in or out, overwhelmingly uncomfortable.

"Your meridians are blocked now. To unblock them, lie in bed for three days and you should recover. Of course, you could use some Qi Increasing Elixir and recover within half an hour."

"..."

For these people, three days were extremely precious.

But the Qi Increasing Elixir, that’s outrageous!

In the Wang Family, it’s such a precious item, how would they receive it?

Seeing them silent, Lin Tian waved his hand and said, "Next time, don’t try to bully me with numbers, you’re all..."

Lin Tian glanced around, disdainfully saying, "Too weak."

Weak!

The word pierced their hearts like a blade, causing them to bleed profusely.

It was a deep humiliation for them!

Despite not being high-tier, low-tier Martial Artists are definitely not easy to come by. It was the most significant blow to them.

Yet, they couldn’t argue back.

The boy before them was young, but his power... frightful!

Seeing their speechless expressions, Lin Tian laughed in satisfaction inside.

The Golden Core’s complete fusion with the Sea of Qi brought undeniable benefits.

To illustrate simply:

Originally, Lin Tian needed to mobilize Spiritual Qi from his Dantian, taking a short time but still causing slight delay.

Now, it was different. His entire body seemed like a vast Sea of Qi, the Spiritual Qi more lively than before, practically instant.

Earlier, Lin Tian extended his Spiritual Qi because of the Golden Core.

The expended Spiritual Qi wasn’t little just now, but replenishing it took merely an instant.

Even if all Spiritual Qi was exhausted, the Golden Core could quickly replenish it.

Now, Lin Tian didn’t worry about insufficient Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Chenghang clutched his finger, glaring venomously at Lin Tian with those resentful eyes.

His meridians were sealed, preventing him from shouting. Who knew the eight experts from the Wang Family were so incompetent, seated on the ground before Lin Tian even touched them.

Such big frames, useless.

Lin Tian grinned, looking at Zhou Chenghang.

He thought his smile was warm, but to Zhou Chenghang, it was no different from a demon’s grin.

That bastard, what’s he planning?

"Do you know why you were beaten?" Lin Tian asked.

"..."

Honestly, Zhou Chenghang had no idea. Didn’t he lower his fingers?

"Because you didn’t control your dogs," Lin Tian replied.

"..."

The eight Wang Family disciples trembled in anger.

Dogs? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

That’s even more insulting than being called rookies!

Zhou Chenghang was speechless too. He wasn’t officially the Wang Family’s son-in-law yet, and he couldn’t command these novices. Besides, isn’t their loyalty admirable?

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out.

The voice was colder than winter wind and snow.

As the saying goes, harsh words chill even in June, but this cold voice was more freezing than harsh words.

"Ababa..." Zhou Chenghang desperately wanted to say something but could only stammer. In the end, he raised his finger, broken by Lin Tian, as if complaining.

Lin Tian turned to look at the newcomer. He recognized the voice well; it was Wang Family’s tigress, Wang Sijing.

But seeing Wang Sijing, Lin Tian paused in surprise.

Why was she in such rags, with disheveled hair, snow stuck in the holes in her tattered clothes?

If not for his sharp eyesight, coupled with recognizing her aura, Lin Tian might not have recognized her.

"Did you go scavenging?" Lin Tian casually asked.

"Scavenging?"

Wang Sijing’s cold face suddenly contorted with anger.

If not for this bastard, would she have faced such a predicament, wasting words on Shuqing, the old monk?

In this moment, Wang Sijing’s long-suppressed volcano was about to erupt!
