Chapter 2626: Chapter 2627: New Rewards

This scene elicited waves of amazement.

It took a long while to calm down.

“Although he’s a bit ugly, he seems quite formidable. Not just anyone can do that. I wonder who’s stronger between the two.”

“Yesterday, the Daoist Master from the Shangqing Palace demonstrated stone-splitting with bare hands, an incredible display of skill. Let them compete, and we’ll know who’s truly better.”

“That’s a good idea; it’ll be like spear versus shield. We’ll see who truly has the skills after a match.”

The enthusiasm of the spectators was high, which boosted Liu Peng’s confidence. He looked at Lin Yi and said:

“Didn’t you say you know Daoist martial arts? The time to prove yourself is now. Do you dare to accept the challenge?”

“Accepting the challenge is not a problem, but endlessly comparing isn’t much fun,” Lin Yi said:

“Since there are so many people and phones here, make a guarantee: if I win, you must admit that Shangqing Palace is proficient in Daoist martial arts, while Zhengyi Temple is merely superficial.”

Lin Yi’s words made Liu Peng secretly pleased.

Because that was his exact goal!

“Then we’ve got a deal. If my junior wins, you must admit that everything done yesterday was a hoax, and from now on, you must regard our Zhengyi Temple as superior.”

“No problem.”

Seeing the stakes set, the people around held their breath.

Li Yongnian and Zhuang Xiaoyun didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

This was a battle with the fortunes of Shangqing Palace on the line. If they lost, they wouldn’t be able to hold their heads high in the future.

Standing not far away, Zhang Youfu shook his head, smiled, and walked away from the crowd, showing no interest in further watching.

Among the crowd, Lin Yi moved his wrist a bit, glanced at Gao Yong, and said:

“Let’s not make this too complicated. One move to decide the winner—if you can withstand one punch from me, you win today’s challenge.”

“I think you’re underestimating me. Do you really think I can’t withstand even one move from you?” Gao Yong said coldly.

“If you believe you can take one move from me, then you’re underestimating me.”

“Heh heh…”

Gao Yong let out a cold laugh. “Anyone can talk big. There are so many people watching now. Relying on trickery won’t work. In the end, it comes down to real skill.”

“That’s quite right. If you’re ready, I’ll make my move.”

Gao Yong curled his finger at Lin Yi with a smirk.

“Go ahead if you’re ready. I’ve been eager to see what you’re made of.”

“Don’t rush.”

Everyone on the scene fell silent, fully focused on Lin Yi and Gao Yong.

Even the tens of thousands of viewers in Chen Rongrong’s live stream stopped leaving comments and spamming the screen.

They all held their breath, watching the scene before them and anticipating the final result.

Lin Yi leisurely walked up to Gao Yong and landed a seemingly nonchalant hook on his abdomen.

“Really? That’s all he did?”

The people on site were extremely disappointed with Lin Yi’s move.

In their minds, Lin Yi should have used some impressive move, at least something they hadn’t seen before.

Unexpectedly, it was just a light punch!

Such a mild attack couldn’t possibly harm the opponent.

Even they could take that kind of punch.

At this moment, Liu Peng looked even more smug.

It seemed everything his senior brother predicted was coming true.

Even though yesterday’s video appeared miraculous, it surely harbored some trickery.

Now, facing Gao Yong, Lin Yi had revealed his weakness.

As everyone lamented their disappointment in Lin Yi, suddenly there was a scream.

Gao Yong’s face turned pale. He clutched his abdomen, his facial features twisted and contorted.

Wow!

Unable to control it, Gao Yong spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

In an instant, the whispering stopped, and the scene was so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

“What just happened? He knocked him out with a single punch?”

Liu Peng’s face was extremely unsightly and somewhat flustered.

In his mind, this shouldn’t be possible!

“Is this Zhengyi Temple’s Hard Qi Technique? It doesn’t seem like much,” Lin Yi said, speechless.

“This…”

Liu Peng stammered for a long time without saying a word; facts spoke louder than words, and he felt anything he said now would be pointless.

“Stop standing around. Hurry and get him to a hospital.”

Liu Peng regained his composure and quickly instructed the people he brought to carry Gao Yong away.

“Is Zhengyi Temple a bunch of clowns sent by monkeys? They made such a big fuss only to get someone knocked out and vomit blood with a single punch. It’s pathetic.”

“In contrast, Shangqing Palace seems more authentic. This is the true Daoist heritage.”

“Today was worth it. The little brother is so handsome; skilled people are indeed different.”

Hearing the chatter around, Chen Rongrong was at a loss.

No one expected Zhengyi Temple’s ship to capsize so thoroughly.

Zhou Jin probably didn’t imagine that all his efforts would benefit others.

Shangqing Palace won big this time.

As the farce ended, the people from Zhengyi Temple departed one after another.

Lin Yi estimated in his heart that, given today’s events, completing the system task shouldn’t be too difficult.

Later in the evening, around 7 PM, the visiting tourists gradually left.

The temple fair at Longhu Mountain was coming to a close, and as the sunset lingered, Shangqing Palace returned to its usual tranquility.

“Have they found the people spreading rumors down the mountain?”

During dinner, Lin Yi asked.

Li Yongnian shook his head, “They hid very well. I went down the mountain several times but failed to catch them. They must have been alerted.”

“If we can’t find them, so be it. You’d have to be blind not to know they’re from Zhengyi Temple,” Lin Yi said indifferently.

“But Wu Gui Ping has disappeared. I suspect he might be involved in this,” said Zhuang Xiaoyun.

“I was wondering why we didn’t see him all day. He must have fled,” Li Yongnian said:

“I should organize a group when I have time to visit Zhengyi Temple. He’s surely hiding there.”

“It doesn’t matter anymore; save your energy,” Lin Yi said:

“Things have calmed down. Plus, with what happened today, I think Zhengyi Temple won’t dare be arrogant in front of us anymore.”

“That’s for sure,” Zhuang Xiaoyun echoed.

“Uncle Master, your performance in the past two days has been amazing. Without you, the situation would have been completely reversed.”

Lightly, Zhuang Xiaoyun nudged Lin Yi’s arm.

“Do you have time tonight to chat in your room?”

“I’m afraid my senior brother would get jealous. Let’s save the chatting for later.”

After dinner, Lin Yi went alone to the Blessed Land Gate, cultivated for a while, and then returned to his room to rest.

At exactly that moment, the system’s notification rang in his mind.
