Chapter 554: Chapter 555: The Power of the Wealthy

Regarding this, the Elder Yun Wu from the Yun family was ooze confidence. The red halo at the platform of the Yun family had emerged once again, and he walked straight into it.

Standing on the metallic avenue, Lin Di found the previously vanished illusory barrier had reappeared before him.

As for Elder Yun Wu, who had moved from the Yun family’s platform to the metallic avenue, a barrier similarly emerged in front of him.

“This is bad—it’s Yun Yi!” Yun Yan’s face clearly didn’t look good upon seeing this elder prepare for battle.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but feel curious. “Why? Is this person called Yun Yi very difficult to deal with?”

“When we were in Ten Thousand Medicine Thousand Wood Valley, your father encountered him and they started fighting. Your father was severely injured in the end. However, Yun Yi wasn’t much better off; both suffered greatly. Later, I arrived and took your father away. That Yun Yi even had the strength left to chase us for a while. He was very troublesome,” said Yun Yan worriedly, staring at Yun Yi. “But clearly, Yun Yi’s injuries have mostly healed, while your father’s have not fully recovered.”

Then, Lin Qian realized and looked at Yun Yi on the metallic avenue, soon to confront his father. “It seems that he is indeed a formidable rival to my father.”

“Attack!”

The illusory barrier in the front disappeared again, sharing a sequence with its previous occurrence. The moment the barrier vanished, Lin Di was already positioning his long spear. The force of his Thunder Soul Power was hurled towards Yun Yi.

However, just at that moment, Yun Yi suddenly equipped an ice-cold enormous shield in his hands, blocking his front.

Boom!

The force of the Thunder Spear ruthlessly hit the Ice Cold shield. The powerful spear force, capable of instantaneously slaying Heroic Level Soul Martial Artists of the Yun family, rushed over it like a waterfall.

Yet, it was all blocked.

Not only that, part of the reflected spear force hurtled towards Lin Di’s face.

Lin Di furrowed his brows, waving the dark-colored long spear in his hand, dispersing the reflected Soul Power spear force.

After a short while, the surging crimson-golden Thunder gradually subsided.

Lin Di still held his long spear, with a solemn expression looking towards Yun Yi.

In contrast, Yun Yi appeared extremely relaxed, holding the chilly shield, looking quite naturally at Lin Di. “Although your attack is powerful, unfortunately, it can’t penetrate this old man’s defense.”

Facing Yun Yi’s statement, Lin Di’s expression darkened; the opponent’s defense was indeed formidable, able to even reflect part of his own attack. The opponent was virtually like a tortoise’s shell.

Previously, Lin Di had managed to break his defense and severely wound him by catching him off guard.

However, Lin Di believed that a strong opponent like Yun Yi wouldn’t be deceived by the same tactic twice.

Furthermore, as previously announced by the joyous arena, the consumption of Soul Power was only twenty percent of its past level, which would only make the opponent’s defense even more robust and difficult to break.

Seeing the equipped Martial Soul of Yun Yi, Lin Qian’s face revealed a hint of surprise on the platform. Martial Artists with shield Martial Souls were extremely rare, especially such strong ones.

Clearly seeing the Ice Cold enormous shield in Yun Yi’s hands, which could even reflect some of his father’s spear force, and recalling the past battles his mother described, Lin Qian knew this was a formidable enemy.

On the spacious metal path, Lin Di took the initiative by lifting his Thunder Night Spear and charging toward Yun Yi, with fierce Thunder Soul Power gathering on the surface of his body, the spear tip aimed directly at the Ice Cold aura of the huge shield in the opponent’s hand.

Meanwhile, Yun Yi had also raised the Ice Cold imbued massive shield in front of himself.

Just as Lin Di’s Thunder Night Spear was about to touch the Ice Cold aura on the massive shield, the spear’s tip suddenly lifted, swinging the long spear up high and then fiercely smashing it down.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the spear harshly struck the cold-charged giant shield, instantly sending electric sparks flying and bursting apart.

Yun Yi, holding the Ice Cold imbued giant shield, was pushed back several steps but then steadied his stance.

At the same time, Lin Di, after smashing the shield furiously, endured the recoil from the giant shield and was sent flying backward.

The moment he landed, Lin Di took advantage of his momentum and charged forward again, his long spear whipping non-stop against the giant shield held by Yun Yi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, Lin Di’s form was executed to perfection, like a phantom of red-golden lightning, flitting beside Yun Yi who was enveloped in an Ice Cold aura. His Thunder Night Spear, slashing and smashing, filled the arena with the loud sounds of fierce collisions.

Despite being very proud of his own defense, Yun Yi could not underestimate Lin Di’s overwhelming offensive power.

Moreover, knowing that a direct attack might not be very effective against him, Lin Di completely abandoned the frontal assault and the actual piercing potential of the spear. Instead, he used his Thunder Night Spear as if it were a long whip or war hammer to bombard the opponent.

Yun Yi was well aware of Lin Di’s intentions—his adversary likely wanted to use the force of the vibrations to injure him.

“Just how naive is your little scheme,” Yun Yi suddenly shouted, as Lin Di was repelled backward. He lifted the Ice Cold imbued giant shield and swung it fiercely towards his opponent.

Ice Cold imbued Soul Power gathered around the flying shield, spinning rapidly like icy blades, charging towards Lin Qian as if intending to slice him in two.

“Brother Lin!” Yun Yan, up on the platform, exclaimed in shock seeing this scene.

At that moment, Lin Qian’s hand suddenly produced a crystal which seemed to contain shifting sands inside, and he crushed it without hesitation.

In an instant, a barrier emerged between Lin Di and Yun Yi, separating the two sides and also blocking the incoming flying shield.

With a thud, the flying shield struck the barrier, rebounded to the ground, and slid to Yun Yi’s feet.

“A teammate of Team Lin Di, Lin Qian, has used a designated arena prop: ‘Half-Time Break,’ suspending the duel for an hour,” an ethereal female voice echoed in the midair.

Hearing this announcement, everyone, including Lin Di, was stunned and incredulously turned to look back up at the platform above to find his son smiling at him.

“Qian’er, what’s going on?” Yun Yan, on the platform, was also stunned by the scene, looking bewildered at her own son.

Lin Qian tossed the shattered remnants of the crystal onto the ground and said with an indifferent smile, “This? The power of a tycoon.”
