Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Shocking Everyone

Lin Bai leapt up, landing on the fifth floating platform.

"Envoy, I am convinced that Brother Lin Bai will be the victor of the fifth floating platform," Huo Shu said excitedly. Ever since he learned that Lin Bai was the warrior who had dominated over all others in Chaoyang Palace, he had been eager to see him in action.

As Lin Bai entered the fifth floating platform, Huo Shu was in high spirits.

"I also want to see how strong he is, whether he can overcome the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer while at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer. If he can, then he deserves to be categorised among the super geniuses," stated Su Xianmei.

There are different levels of genius: ordinary, unmatched, and super. They may all sound similar but the differences among them are massive.

In the past, Su Xianmei had only heard the rumors about Lin Bai, from his single-handedly annihilating the Qingtian Alliance in the Qingling Mountains to winning the martial arts competition for new disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. He was first in the Outer Sect and the top disciple in the Earth Martial Realm of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Recently, he had impressed the military geniuses at Chaoyang Palace and defeated the outstanding disciples from the Four Major Sects, making a name for himself throughout Shenwu Kingdom. Su Xianmei had never before seen Lin Bai in action or witnessed his sword fighting skills.

Upon reaching the fifth floating platform, Lin Bai didn’t move too close.

The fifth platform was still bustling with more than 50 warriors locked in fierce combat. Lin Bai circled the periphery twice, attracting the attention of one warrior.

"Hmm? An Earth Martial Realm Second Layer warrior dares to step onto the platform? Get down and feed the sharks," a Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer warrior who saw Lin Bai was astounded.

Immediately, his gaze hardened and his eyes glinted ruthlessly. He launched a punch like a falling meteor, aiming to shatter everything in its path, unstoppable.

The air exploded from the punch’s force, and the power to flatten mountains landed straight on Lin Bai’s chest.

With a stone-like expression, Lin Bai retaliated with his own punch.

Thud!

After a single punch, Lin Bai catapulted his opponent like a cut line kite, launching him into the water where a lurking evil shark instantly tore him in half.

"Ah, help..."

A gut-wrenching scream echoed before Lin Bai watched the others look on in horror as the evil sharks devoured the unfortunate warrior.

If a combatant accidentally falls into the water, they will be eaten by the evil sharks. What a terrifying prospect.

"That’s...Kong Qian in the water!"

"Kong Qian, a Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer, was knocked into the water with a single punch."

"My god, isn’t he at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer? How is he so strong?"

The crowd of warriors exclaimed in shock upon seeing the commotion on the fifth floating platform.

"He is indeed strong!" Huo Shu yelled in surprise and delight when he saw what had happened.

Su Xianmei was also stunned. A Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer warrior defeating a Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer with a single punch was not something that could be achieved by sheer luck.

"I’ve seen this man before!"

"Sha Lang, he’s the one who killed the young master," the pirates who had previously plundered with Sha Xing, recognized Lin Bai in surprise and reported to Sha Lang.

"What! It was this bastard who killed my son?" On hearing the news, Sha Lang’s eyes bulged larger than that of a bull’s, staring ferociously at Lin Bai while grinding his teeth in anger.

"Tongtian, he killed Sha Xing. Avenge Sha Xing!" Sha Lang yelled at Sha Tongtian on the fifth floating platform.

Sha Tongtian was Sha Lang’s younger brother and Sha Xing’s uncle.

On hearing Sha Lang’s roar, Sha Tongtian hacked his opponent in half with a single stroke. His fierce gaze shifted to Lin Bai as he coldly proclaimed, "How dare you kill my dear nephew and willingly step onto the fifth floating platform. You are basically delivering your own death!"

On the fifth floating platform, Sha Tongtian was indeed at the top strength-wise, ranking even above the Iron Fist to the Sky.

Under the ferocious gaze of Sha Tongtian, Lin Bai felt a chill run through his body.

"Face my blade!"

Sha Tongtian roared angrily, his blade coming down in a full force slash.

A leap in the air magnified his force, and he chopped down heavily.

"The Return to the Sea, of the Angry Sea Blade Slash!"

When this blow slashed down, it carried the force that could split the heaven and earth.

A disturbing wave of power rapidly spread in all directions, shocking all the warriors watching from the platform. "This is the Angry Sea Blade Slash, Earth Grade 5 Martial Technique."

"This is Sha Tongtian’s signature blade technique. There are three slashes in total."

"Sha Tongtian has been fighting on the Fifth Floating Platform for so long, but he’s never shown his martial techniques before."

"Now that he’s executing his martial techniques, it looks like Sha Tongtian is serious. That kid’s done for."

Many warriors were shocked and started exclaiming in unison.

"That’s the spirit, Tongtian! Chop him into pieces!" Sha Lang said, laughing wildly.

The faces of Huo Shu and Su Xianmei changed.

Feeling the terrifying power contained in that strike, they were somewhat worried.

"Envoy, could Brother Lin Bai hold up against this strike?" Huo Shu asked anxiously.

"How would I know? This is my first time seeing him in a fight." Su Xianmei responded, her face expressionless.

Under this attack, Lin Bai snorted coldly.

"Three Immortal Fingers: Point to the earth, point to the heaven, and invite reincarnation!"

The three finger seals burst open, tearing like an arrow towards Sha Tongtian.

In midair, Sha Tongtian chuckled. "Humph, do you really think you can kill me with just this trick? Too laughable! Watch me slash it to pieces!"

His sword slashed down angrily, shattering Lin Bai’s Three Immortal Fingers.

At that moment, Lin Bai’s figure began to move quickly. The speed granted by his Feng Lei Divine Wings was rapidly activated. The moment Sha Tongtian shattered the finger seals, Lin Bai landed a heavy punch on Sha Tongtian’s chest.

Boom!

With one powerful punch, Sha Tongtian’s body flew out like a cannonball for over a hundred meters, almost falling off the Floating Platform.

"Such fast speed!"

Huo Shu, Su Xianmei, Sha Lang, the leaders of the Eight Great Clans, and all the warriors witnessing Lin Bai’s speed were all slightly taken aback.

"Such speed... It must be an Earth Grade 9 martial technique."

"I’ve never heard of an Earth Grade 9 martial technique in the East Sea. Could he possibly not be a warrior from the East Sea?"

"Could he be from... Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

The warriors all started to exclaim in astonishment, looking at each other.

From the fourth floating platform next to the fifth, the Poison Dragon Island Master glanced sideways at Lin Bai. Apparently, he was also surprised by Lin Bai’s speed just now.

"Such fast speed. If it’s not an Earth Grade 9 martial technique, then this person must have specialized in speed-related martial techniques. He might also have a speed-type Martial Soul." The Poison Dragon Island Master muttered to himself.

At that moment, his weird snake swallowed the last challenger on the Fourth Floating Platform whole.

The other warriors, seeing that the Poison Dragon Island Master hadn’t even moved a muscle and had let his spirit beast defeat all of his opponents, were scared out of their wits. They didn’t dare to challenge the Fourth Floating Platform anymore and all headed towards the Second Floating Platform.

"The Poison Dragon Island Master has won!"

"Of course he won. He’s at the Seventh Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, after all."

"And that snake on the shoulder of the Poison Dragon Island Master, it’s an ancient different species, the Poison Dragon Beast!"
