And it could still unleash its full power when its magic power was insufficient?
This was simply monstrous, wasn't it?
"What a terrifying blade! This is the strongest blade I've seen below the Dao Foundation realm!"
"I once saw Young Master Lin Yao unleash a blade technique from the profound arts, but even he didn't give me this feeling."
A collateral disciple nearby said.
Although he had long suspected that Lin Xuan might be able to defeat these three fourth-layer Condensing Pulse officers, seeing it happen still elicited his extreme astonishment.
After all.
Guessing was one thing.
Seeing it happen was another.
They were not to be confused.
At this moment, this collateral disciple's heart was already shaken to its core by Lin Xuan, to the point where no more shock could be absorbed.
"Didn't that trash Lin Xuan have a cultivation impediment? How could he be so strong? What kind of fortune did he stumble upon, what kind of miraculous encounter did he have?" other collateral disciples wondered.
The collateral disciple who had just spoken was quickly silenced by his friend, who covered his mouth to stop him from speaking further.
"Do you want to die?"
"In an instant, he defeated eight fourth-layer Condensing Pulse officers... this is one against eight!"
"Young Master Lin Xuan was able to instantly defeat the five weaker ones, rendering them unable to resist, unable to even unleash their profound arts. As for the three who could unleash profound arts, they were completely shattered by Young Master Lin Xuan's Blazing Flame Blade, unable to resist the overwhelming momentum it represented."
"With this kind of strength, regardless of anything else, even Lin Yang, who is at the fifth layer of Condensing Pulse and cultivates both magic and body, might not be able to match him!"
"With this strength, you still dare to call him trash? Aren't you afraid of death?"
The collateral disciple whose mouth was covered gasped for air, managing to move his friend's hand away. His voice became much quieter, as if he feared Lin Xuan might hear him, and then he whispered, "Are you saying that incorrectly?"
"Isn't there still one person over there who hasn't made a move?"
"Lin Yang is the supervisor of the Salary Hall, and he hasn't made a move yet... Once he intervenes and suppresses Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan will be crippled, just like a wilting flower, and his cultivation will be destroyed. In that case, won't Lin Xuan become trash again?"
"Since he'll become trash, then it's fine for me to say so."
The more this person spoke, the more excited he became, though he still kept his voice very low, clearly still wary of Lin Xuan.
"Victory or defeat decides everything."
"If Lin Xuan is defeated here and loses his combat ability... Lin Yang has Young Master Lin Yao behind him, and behind Young Master Lin Yao stands the Second Elder."
"The Second Elder is also considered a strong individual in the Dao Foundation realm!"
"With the Second Elder and Young Master Lin Yao as his backing, Lin Yang would definitely dare to act when Lin Xuan is unable to resist, and cripple his cultivation."
"At this time, the more dazzling Lin Xuan appears, the more Lin Yang will want to cripple him."
"The Second Elder's faction has had a long-standing feud with Lin Xuan's father."
"If given the chance, he will definitely act, and he will have the courage to do so."
"At that time, hehe."
"Even a body cultivator who conceals their cultivation can have their vital energy crippled. It's not as if there haven't been body cultivators whose cultivation has been crippled in the cultivation world."
This collateral disciple continued to speak in a low voice, "I admit, Lin Xuan has obtained some great fortune, and has become outrageously strong, but I believe he is still no match for Lin Yang."
"After all, he is a body cultivator, and Lin Yang is also a body cultivator, and moreover, he cultivates both magic and body!"
His friend quickly covered his mouth again, saying, "Stop being stubborn. Can Lin Yang fight eight opponents at once? Can he prevent five of them from even making a move, and defeat the other three in an instant?"
"Cultivates both magic and body?"
"What good is that!"
"I beg you, can you control your mouth? Do you think he won't hear you just because you're speaking so quietly?"
"If he hears you later, you'll be asking for trouble!"
He finally managed to persuade his friend to stop talking.
However, one could clearly see the jealousy in the eyes of this glib-tongued person towards Lin Xuan.
A trash suddenly turned things around, and there were naturally many people like this who were jealous.
It was just that some people could hide their jealousy in their hearts,
while others couldn't help but blurt it out.
The crowd chattered amongst themselves.
But Fang Ming paid no attention to these minor figures.
They were merely fleeting clouds.
He was, after all, not Lin Xuan, and as long as he wasn't actively provoked, he wouldn't bother with them.
Even if some of these collateral disciples had bullied the original Lin Xuan.
But he was not Lin Xuan; he was Fang Ming.
Some things could be ignored.
Gao Xianwu and his servants were not among them, because they had actively provoked him, so Fang Ming naturally had to step on them.
As for the current commotion in the Salary Hall, it was not for revenge, but for profit.
The reason for targeting Lin Yang and Lin Yao, who had bullied him before, was merely to "establish his might" for the sake of profit.
Lin Xuan acted out of hatred.
Hatred was the root.
Fang Ming, on the other hand, used his hatred to pursue profit.
Profit was the root.
Therefore, Fang Ming chuckled lightly, "Only you are left, Lin Yang."
His black hair fluttered, and despite wearing tattered clothes, his every word and action exuded an extraordinary aura.
Even some of the female clan members among the collateral disciples cast admiring glances.
The so-called strength and the charisma brought by his demeanor were fully displayed by Fang Ming at this moment.
And in the eyes of those around him, the former trash Lin Xuan and the current Lin Xuan were completely different.
Facing Fang Ming's gaze directly.
A flicker of fear flashed in Lin Yang's eyes; he was clearly somewhat afraid. But since things had come to this, fear was useless, so he quickly regained his confrontational demeanor and shouted.
"You... Lin Xuan! Don't be arrogant!"
"Do you know who my backer is? It's Young Master Lin Yao, the son of the Second Elder!"
"A genius like him, already at the seventh layer of Condensing Pulse and cultivating both magic and body, could easily crush you with one finger!"
"And before the Second Elder, you are less than an ant!"
"That is a true great cultivator of the Dao Foundation realm!"
"If you don't want to face the might of a Dao Foundation realm expert... you need to think twice!"
Lin Yang actually had little confidence in defeating Lin Xuan after witnessing the power of the Blazing Flame Blade.
After all, Lin Xuan had easily defeated eight officers above the third layer of Condensing Pulse! One against eight... he could achieve this, but not so effortlessly.
