Chapter 200: Full of Myself? Big Deal!

“Let the thunderbolts annihilate everything!”

When Lin Yao waved his arm and thunderbolts fell, all the martial artists in the arena had a sense of foreboding.

Unfortunately, everyone knew how fast thunderbolts were. As their faces were etched with shock and horror, terrifying thunder and lightning landed on them.

Boom!

The thunderbolts exploded between the sky and the earth and struck five people on the spot. They fell to the ground, unable to get up anymore.

However, one had to admit that the warlords in Shanghai were fairly competent. In the beginning, Lin Yao mobilized a total of nine thunderbolts that struck nine people, but in the end, only five people fell on the ground. The other four remained standing although they were seriously injured.

Even though they could still move, the rest of the people freaked out. The first nine thunderbolts had landed, but the thundercloud in the sky had not yet dissipated.

Some of them wanted to surrender right away.

However, Lin Yao was enraged and wouldn’t allow that. Just as they opened their mouths, a sudden deafening sound shook the sky and ground.

Roar!

Boom!

The roar of thunder resounded throughout the sky and ground, as if a god in heaven was hollering furiously. The fierce roar caused clear shock waves to appear in the air, completely suppressing the voices of the people opening their mouths. Eyes turning white, many of them were scared out of their wits, and their minds were trembling.

[Deafening Thunder Roar]

This was the second combat skill Lin Yao had mastered and was originally used as a sneak attack on others. At that moment, when it was heard in the sky, it emanated a mighty, majestic aura that could seemingly suppress everything.

There was only one reason the roar could be heard through the thunderbolt explosions without Lin Yao opening his mouth. The Deafening Thunder Roar had already broken through its shackles and reached the level of profoundness!

Lin Yao didn’t have a strong comprehension ability. Naturally, there was a reason that he was able to master the profound meaning suddenly at that moment.

Of course, this was not the time to talk about this. The furious roar in the sky stupefied everyone. The thunderbolt and roar were immediately followed by rapid lightning strikes.

Crack!

The incandescent lightning landed on the earth, leaving all the warlords in the arena speechless and miserable. Several other people fell to the ground on the spot.

Nevertheless, the overall quality of the warlords in Shanghai was indeed better. Someone actually managed to withstand the Deafening Thunder Roar, which had reached the profoundness level. It was a monk. When the Deafening Thunder Roar was heard, a lion figure rose behind him.

When lightning fell, a golden bell appeared on his body.

While he was resisting the lightning, his entire body pounced on Lin Yao like a dragon and a tiger.

[Eight-Step Overtaking Cicada]

There was no need for eight steps. He reached Lin Yao with just three steps, and two golden palms smashed toward Lin Yao fiercely.

One had to strike where the enemy needed to defend himself.

This monk had it all planned and wanted to force Lin Yao to defend himself.

He was not the only one who shared this thought. Lin Yao’s thunderbolt could kill the martial artists in seconds, but everyone present was a warlord, including intermediate warlords, and each of them had one or two trump cards.

Nevertheless, a few thunderbolts had already forced them to show their trump cards and go all out. This also went to show how powerful Lin Yao was.

There were 10-odd intermediate warlords from Shanghai. Most of those who entered the arena were elites who had advanced only after reaching Iron Person 300%. Lin Yao had just advanced to become a warlord. He was certainly strong to be able to corner them to this extent with only a few moves.

By this time, these people were filled with regrets, However, Lin Yao refused to back out. Since they couldn’t dodge the thunderbolts, they could only attack.

Aside from the monk, who had come to his senses first and used the Eight-Step Overtaking Cicada, two people released sword auras, and one showered Lin Yao with hidden weapons. All of them were planning to make Lin Yao defend himself so that they could get away from the arena.

However, what they saw next almost made their eyes pop.

While facing the oncoming palm strike, sword auras, and hidden weapon, the figure standing in the middle of the arena showed no intent to resist the attacks. He continued to mobilize the thunderbolts and pull them down from the sky.

“Does he want to perish with us?”

“That’s good too. I’ll have something to boast about if I beat a genius like him.”

“Ah Yao, please don’t!”

Some people shouted in surprise, and some exclaimed about how lethal Lin Yao was. On the other hand, some people felt that it was unnecessary for Lin Yao to make the rest of the people retreat by causing both sides to lose.

Regardless of their thoughts, they could not help but gasp a moment later.

“Ss…”

“What is he doing?”

“It’s gotten out of control. Amongst the many laws, the laws of thunder are the most difficult to manipulate.”

“I hope he is not hurt.”

One could not blame them for being alarmed. The situation in the arena was too much of a surprise. The next thunderbolt that came didn’t head toward any of the opponents but landed on Lin Yao, who was in the center of the arena.

“Why did he strike himself?”

“Perhaps it can rebound?!”

As the rest of the people exclaimed, the remaining trio in the arena looked somewhat elated. However, they soon discovered that something was amiss. After being struck by the furious thunderbolt, the figure standing in the center of the arena didn’t weaken one bit. The trio even sensed Lin Yao becoming stronger after the thunderbolt strike.

“This is impossible!”

They refused to believe this, but the facts wouldn’t change due to their thoughts.

When thunder and lightning fell, Lin Yao’s aura was indeed intensifying, but this was not the only reason he had struck himself with thunderbolts.

When the thunderbolts landed, Lin Yao absorbed some of them to strengthen his body, and the rest spilled out of his body. The large amount of overflowing thunder and lightning circled Lin Yao’s entire body, making him look like the god of thunder.

Aside from making Lin Yao look good, the circling thunder and lightning also destroyed the flying sword auras and hidden weapons with their overflowing electric light.

As for the monk who had rushed over to Lin Yao, he was electrocuted by the overflowing thunder and lightning surrounding Lin Yao.

Thunder and lightning not only contained high heat but also had a paralyzing effect. When the monk dashed across the electric field, an electric current invaded and paralyzed him for a moment.

The duration was short, but it was enough for Lin Yao to act. Lifting one of his feet, Lin Yao lashed out at the monk with a kick in the air.

While facing this kick, which was smashing through the air, the paralyzed monk felt weak all over and could only watch helplessly as the leg zoomed across his body.

“No!!!”

Bang!

As a miserable scream was heard, the monk was kicked into the air by Lin Yao like a football. He then crashed into the powerhouse showering him with hidden weapons.

Poof…

The person using the hidden weapons was swift and agile, but his strength was not great. After colliding with the monk’s body, he spat a mouthful of blood immediately and fell out of the arena along with the monk.

He could have ducked. However, he had been struck by the first wave of thunderbolts. After blocking the strike with a specific cloak, he escaped into the shadows. Even though he had dodged the bullet, his body was severely wounded by the thunderbolt, and he no longer had the means to escape.

At that moment, out of the 10-odd people who had entered the arena, the swordsman was the last one standing.

Looking at Lin Yao, who was surrounded by thunder and lightning, and then at the thundercloud in the sky, which hadn’t dissipated, the swordsman smiled wryly. He raised both his hands high and simply gave up on his struggle.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yao smiled but didn’t make things difficult for him.

“Get down.”

“Huh?”

Upon seeing his dazed look, Lin Yao smiled.

“Those people antagonized me, but you didn’t. It’s certainly a good habit not to berate others.”

“…”

These words stunned the young swordsman for a long time. He hadn’t expected his good upbringing to save him from a round of beating one day.

“Thank you.”

In the end, the man stepped down from the arena after thanking Lin Yao.

At that moment, the battle on Lin Yao’s side was over, and he had eliminated more than 10 people in one go. Throughout the entire battle, Lin Yao had made no more than 10 moves.

‘I don’t think anyone will approach me again.’

After demonstrating great strength, Lin Yao believed that the rest of the people would not challenge him—the most powerful person there—unless they were retarded.

However, what happened subsequently completely surprised him.

After Lin Yao displayed his majestic prowess, the audience was the first to react. Everyone looked at Lin Yao, who was standing tall and proud in the arena, with fear and reverence. People kept talking in low voices constantly.

“He is very powerful.”

“He is so handsome.”

…

The crowd below the arena was full of praise for Lin Yao. A few minutes later, the cell phones of Qian Han and Jin Cheng kept ringing. Those were the people they had contacted earlier. They were now furiously chiding the two of them for deceiving them.

“Scoundrel, are you asking us to be punching bags for your companion?”

“Why humiliate him… Are you trying to get me killed?”

“How dare you do me in like this? Don’t let me run into you, or I’ll beat you up every time we meet.”

Jin Cheng and Qian Liang had stirred up huge trouble because of Lin Yao. On the other hand, Jiang Tianyou was smiling in the VIP room.

“It seems like my character judgment hasn’t deteriorated.”

As Lin Yao’s nominator, he would also be implicated if Lin Yao were to embarrass himself. If Lin Yao was outstanding, he would benefit as well.

If Lin Yao were to maintain this outstanding performance, Jiang Tianyou would gain a lot after the match. These benefits would even help him get back the five million yuan he had invested. No, it would be more than that. Lin Yao’s performance was brilliant, and his gains would not be as simple as five million yuan.

He hadn’t expected such a fast return on his investment. As a result, he now had other ideas on his mind.

‘He was not that strong the last time I saw him. He has taken off this time. This strength and rate of improvement… I certainly have to stay in touch with him.

‘I’ll meet him again tonight to see if he has other needs.

‘This is his weakest state and a good opportunity for me to offer timely assistance… This won’t do. I have to tell my family about this and invest more in him!’

After one battle, Jiang Tianyou was ready to invest more.

In fact, because he had been busy and reluctant to spare some time on certain things, Lin Yao had left a bad impression on others during this period.

He had shown disobedience, arrogance, disregard for others, and self-centeredness. Many people even felt that he was too full of himself. Despite this, Jiang Tianyou was willing to invest more in Lin Yao.

This was not luck, neither did he like to be abused. It was because Lin Yao had chosen the right path.

He knew very well that capital funds had no conscience. They would not give one money because he was obedient, gentle, and kind. In fact, people who were gentle and obedient would be oppressed. They were willing to give one money only because of the benefits they would receive in return. One would always sell one’s allegiance to the highest bidder.

This was the reason Lin Yao strove madly to improve his strength and ignored everything else. He knew that everything else was a fallacy. It was only when one was strong enough that people would compete to send him money.

Jiang Tianyou was the first but he wouldn’t be the last.

‘I’m full of myself? Big deal! So long as my strength keeps up with my complacency, there will be no problem.’
