Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Mo casually made his way to the stage.
A few minutes later, his tall and unparalleled figure stood opposite Cui Zhenyuan.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at Lin Mo as if he were a fool.
"Has this guy lost his mind?"
"Yeah, even Hong Qiu was no match for Cui Zhenyuan! What chance does this kid have?"
"He'll probably end up just like that young boy who went up earlier."
"Or even worse!"
Cui Zhenyuan on the stage was also taken aback. He had just declared himself the ruler of Shu Province when someone immediately came up to challenge him.
After glancing at Lin Mo, the cold sneer on Cui Zhenyuan's face almost exaggerated to the sky:
"Kid, are you looking to die?"
"You seem like you're still a high school student, aren't you?"
"Wherever you came from, scram back there!"
Cui Zhenyuan was extremely disdainful; he couldn't feel even a hint of True Qi surging from Lin Mo.
What did this mean? It meant that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old in front of him might not even be a Martial Cultivator.
Compared to the recently defeated Lin Dong, it was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles he was behind.
He had no interest in making a move against Lin Mo.
Lin Dong, who was struggling to remain alive below the stage, couldn't help but shake his head in ridicule:
"This guy must really be crazy! Even I was no match for Cui Zhenyuan, and yet he's so brain-dead to go up and provoke Cui Zhenyuan."
"Looks like he's definitely going to have his limbs broken by Cui Zhenyuan later, and it's even possible that Cui Zhenyuan might kill him."
Nolan Yanran also laughed coldly, "Brother Lin Dong, you're right, he's far too arrogant. It's one thing not to take you or me seriously, but to treat Cui Zhenyuan as nothing, he must be tired of living."
Among thousands of bewildered gazes, Lin Mo took steps toward Cui Zhenyuan.
As Lin Mo took the initiative to approach Cui Zhenyuan, Cui Zhenyuan's eyebrows raised. This seemingly ordinary young man, with each step he took, brought him an intangible sense of crisis.
"Kid, who are you? What's your name?" Cui Zhenyuan's expression finally showed a touch of seriousness as he stared at Lin Mo, his fists clenching slightly.
True Qi surged within his body, and Cui Zhenyuan's heart finally calmed down completely.
The kid in front of him was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student! He could crush him with a toe!
"My name is Lin Mo!"
Lin Mo continued walking, but slightly lifted his head, his eyes staring straight at Cui Zhenyuan.
In a flash, Cui Zhenyuan felt as if he were at the Top of the Arctic, as if among mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and as if he were in the Nine Netherworld Hell.
The youth's pair of ruthless eyes was terrifying and dreadful!
"Lin Mo?"
Cui Zhenyuan murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly gleaming with a sinister chill, "Is it you? I didn't expect you'd have the audacity to come knocking on death's door."
"You're indeed going to die." Lin Mo nodded indifferently.
"Heh heh! Very arrogant! I, Cui Zhenyuan, guarantee that today, you won't leave here alive!"
Cui Zhenyuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, each word dripping with blood.
Lin Mo swept a glance at him and said softly,
"You? You're not qualified!"
"Hahaha... Such an arrogantly presumptuous kid. With your doom impending, you're still so calm and arrogant. If I don't shatter your body into ten thousand pieces, how could I, Cui Zhenyuan, have the face to live in this world?"
Lin Mo, with his hands in his pockets, said indifferently,
"Then you can go die!"
"It's you who will die!! Arrogant fool, come meet your demise!!"
Cui Zhenyuan roared furiously, his aura earth-shattering.
He threw a punch directly, and where the Punch Light went, it violently whipped up a fierce wind, making the platform shake unsteadily.
With one punch, the surrounding walls were blasted with countless holes, and the wall surfaces nearly collapsed.
This punch was filled with supreme ferocity and cruelty.
And the focal point of that terrifying punch power was Lin Mo's body!
Yet Lin Mo showed no fear, and as the Punch Light neared, he lightly raised his palm for a seemingly carefree counterstrike.
Boom! A loud explosion shook everyone's heads, leaving them disoriented.
The very next second, everyone was dumbfounded, including Lin Dong and Nolan Yanran, both of whom were extremely horrified.
Even if they racked their brains, they could never have imagined that Lin Mo would be able to catch that punch with just one palm.
Cui Zhenyuan's face was filled with shock and horror; he even turned somewhat pale as he exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"There's nothing impossible about it."
Lin Mo's body was without even a speck of dust. He glanced at Cui Zhenyuan and said indifferently,
"I'll give you one last chance to make a move. Use the strongest technique you have ever learned in your life; otherwise, you'll never have another chance."
Arrogant!
It was sheer lunacy without bounds.
Cui Zhenyuan's face turned completely grim as his eyes reddened like a primeval fierce beast:
"Damn brat, my ultimate move was reserved for when I faced my most formidable adversary."
"Now, it seems that I must use my ultimate move against you."
"I hope you're stronger than I expect, so that I might find some interest in playing with you a little longer," Lin Mo said with boredom and a tone of disdain.
"Arrogant child, you're doomed!"
Cui Zhenyuan clenched his fist tightly, and then, with the speed of thunder that comes before you can cover your ears, he gathered all his strength into his fist.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
In just a few tens of breaths, the entire sky was filled with countless punch marks and punch lights!
And then, they crazily surged together, forming a shadowy dragon figure that seemed to tear open the entire sky, viciously lunging at Lin Mo.
The faces of everyone turned deathly pale instantly.
Cui Zhenyuan's move was earth-shattering, condensing countless punch marks into an extremely terrifying Shadow Mad Dragon. Even a high-level Martial Sect might be torn to shreds in a single second faced with such fierce momentum, right?
However, while everyone thought Lin Mo was doomed, he simply snorted coldly, with an especially disdainful tone:
"I had thought your ultimate move would be powerful, but now it seems, it's merely child's play!"
"It's truly dull!"
With those words, Lin Mo leaped up, his foot appeared to step on the void, and his slender fingers clenched into a fist.
He punched out in an instant.
That punch, like the deadliest missile in the universe, soared through the sky, instantly smashing the Shadow Mad Dragon and piercing through, hitting Cui Zhenyuan's chest directly.
Cui Zhenyuan's face was filled with utmost horror! He could feel how terrifying the coming danger of that punch was!
But he didn't even have a chance to escape because the punch's speed was so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, or even a telescope.
"My life is over!"
Cui Zhenyuan's eyes blazed with anger, and he yelled out in unwillingness as Lin Mo's punch light instantly penetrated his body. With a force like a meteor striking Earth, his entire body exploded into a blood fog that filled the sky.
The eyes of everyone were wide with shock, as if they had witnessed the most unbelievable thing.
"Cui Zhenyuan is dead?"
"Killed by a punch from this seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth?"
"Good heavens! This kind of strength, I'm afraid you can't find a second person in the whole Shu Province!!"
"Shu Province is about to change hands! Going forward, this youth will be unequaled throughout the whole province!"
As for Lin Dong below the stage, he looked as afraid as if he had seen a ghost. He had never imagined that the ant he spoke of would be countless times more powerful than himself.
He actually dared to provoke a being akin to a dragon. He truly was sick of living!
As for Nolan Yanran, her pretty face was pale and dejected to the extreme. She never thought that the youth whom she looked down upon, whom she and Lin Dong regarded as an ant, would be as terrifying and invincible as a Heavenly God.
Remembering her initial disdain and mockery of Lin Mo, Nolan Yanran felt almost unable to breathe.
And in her heart, she was filled with extreme regret, having missed the opportunity to make a good ally of such an astonishing Big Shot.
Now, everything was too late! She didn't even have the qualifications to recognize Lin Mo, let alone become his ally.
Lin Mo walked down from the stage at a leisurely pace, with her and Lin Dong prostrating on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.
After casting a glance at the two, Lin Moxin was unfazed, seeing little difference between them and ants.
Then, Lin Mo, with his hands in his pockets, walked out of the gymnasium with a meteoric stride, as light as clouds and a gentle breeze.
All the Martial Arts Masters and dignitaries present watched him with utmost respect, not daring to show any disrespect.
As for Lu Haotian, he followed Lin Mo with the utmost respect. He was very clear that the most correct thing he had done in his entire life was to become Lin Mo's right-hand man.
After this event, looking across the whole Shu Province, his status would soar sky-high! Even if any giant from Shu Province wanted to touch Lu Haotian, they would have to weigh the might of Mr. Lin Mo behind him!
