Chapter 261: Chapter 113: Eerie Ancient Tomb

’So the sense of power from just entering the Martial Artist Realm has given him the illusion that he can stand on equal footing with me, or even avenge his past humiliation?’

Lin Yi sneered inwardly.

He was no magnanimous Saint, and he certainly wouldn’t tolerate such an arrogant provocation from someone who didn’t know their place.

With a single thought.

The immense, dormant Qi and Blood within his body was suddenly awakened!

A terrifying pressure from his Qi and Blood, like an invisible, raging tsunami, erupted from him in an instant, crashing down on Liu Yang with overwhelming force and pinpoint precision!

"Urk!"

The wild arrogance on Liu Yang’s face instantly froze, replaced by absolute terror!

He only felt his vision suddenly go black, as if all the light in the world had been sucked away in an instant, plunging him into an absolute darkness where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face.

Then, a long ringing sound buzzed in his ears, and all sound—the principal’s question, the chirping of birds outside the window, the beat of his own heart—vanished without a trace, leaving a terrifying silence.

In a single moment, he had been deprived of his sight and hearing!

He had become blind and deaf!

Not only that, but an irresistible pressure materialized out of thin air, as if Mountain Tai itself were crashing down on him, causing his very bones to groan under the unbearable weight.

His legs gave out.

THUMP.

As if all his bones had been removed, Liu Yang collapsed onto the floor, his body trembling violently. Cold sweat instantly soaked through the back of his Martial Arts Uniform.

He tried to scream, but no sound came out.

He tried to move, but he couldn’t even lift a finger.

He could only struggle and suffocate in vain, like a fish out of water in a silent, dark abyss.

This was the absolute suppression a high-grade Martial Artist held over a low-grade one!

By simply releasing their Qi and Blood Power, they could overwhelm their opponent’s retinas and other sensory organs, causing them to lose all five senses, shattering their will and leaving them like a lamb to the slaughter!

Lin Yi was now at the peak of Third Grade, having reached the stage of Perfection, only a single step away from Fourth Grade.

Liu Yang, on the other hand, was just a novice who had barely crossed the threshold into First Grade, his Qi and Blood not even stabilized yet.

The gap between them was as vast as the one between the clouds and the earth.

Lin Yi didn’t even need to lift a finger. With a single thought, he could make Liu Yang experience the true meaning of despair!

Looking at the pathetic sight of Liu Yang trembling on the ground like a pile of mud, Lin Yi’s eyes showed not a single ripple of emotion.

He couldn’t even be bothered to act against a provocation of this level; it felt like a complete waste of his time and energy.

A small punishment to make him face reality was enough.

「A few moments later.」

Lin Yi retracted his will, and the terrifying, almost tangible pressure from his Qi and Blood receded like the tide.

"HUFF... HAH... HAH..."

Liu Yang felt the immense Giant Stone on his chest suddenly vanish. His sight and hearing came rushing back like a machine being plugged back in. The piercing light and jarring noises flooded his senses, making him dizzy and disoriented.

He gasped heavily for breath, like someone pulled from the brink of drowning. He was drenched in sweat, his face as white as a sheet, his eyes filled with the dazed bewilderment of a survivor and a fear that chilled him to the bone.

For those few seconds, he felt he had been only a step away from death!

Lin Yi looked down at the pathetic Liu Yang, who was still collapsed on the floor. His tone was as placid as if nothing had just happened.

"Liu Yang, you don’t look so good. Your face is so pale, and you’re sweating profusely. Is your Qi and Blood unstable? Did something go wrong with your training? I suggest you go to the infirmary and get a proper check-up. Right now, the principal and I have important matters to discuss. Could you please leave?"

"It... It was you..."

Liu Yang looked up and met Lin Yi’s bottomless black eyes, and his body involuntarily trembled again.

’He wasn’t an idiot!’

’That terrifying experience, like falling into the abyss of Hell, was definitely Lin Yi’s doing!’

’This wasn’t a Martial Skill at all. It was...’

’A terrifying power that he couldn’t comprehend, couldn’t imagine, and certainly couldn’t resist!’

The way he looked at Lin Yi...

...no longer held a single shred of his previous confidence or desire to challenge him.

There was only endless fear and profound awe.

It was as if he were looking at an ancient, ferocious beast in human form!

’He had originally thought that after his breakthrough to Martial Artist, he finally had the right to test his strength against Lin Yi.’

’Only now did he realize how laughable and foolish his previous thoughts had been!’

’Lin Yi hadn’t even moved a finger. A single look, a single thought, had nearly shattered his Spirit and caused him to suffocate to death!’

’What kind of monster was this?!’

"O-Okay... Okay! I’ll go! I’m leaving right now! I won’t disturb you! I won’t disturb you!"

Liu Yang practically scrambled up from the floor, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Not daring to spare Lin Yi another glance, he staggered and stumbled toward the office door.

It was as if a man-eating beast were hot on his heels.

He had only one thought now.

’Get as far away from Lin Yi as possible!’

’It would be best if they never met again in this lifetime!’

’Too terrifying! He was simply too terrifying!’

...

"Qi and Blood suppression?!"

Watching Liu Yang’s pathetic figure scrambling away, Chen Zhenguo couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

As the principal who had been in charge of Yang City No. 1 High School for many years...

...his experience and insight were anything but ordinary.

He had instantly recognized the technique Lin Yi had just used so casually.

It was the most direct manifestation of Level suppression between Martial Artists—

forcefully suppressing an opponent with one’s immense Qi and Blood!

’But...’

’How was this possible?!’

Monstrous waves of shock crashed through Chen Zhenguo’s mind.

The principle behind Qi and Blood suppression was simple and brutal: using one’s own vastly superior reserves of Qi and Blood to form an invisible force field and crush the opponent!
