Chapter 653: Chapter 406: Fists and Feet Have No Eyes, Regardless of Gender

’If I went all out, you wouldn’t last thirty seconds before you’re defeated. And all these servants and maids are watching you!

You’re Zhu Xinru’s cousin, so your family background must be extraordinary. A quick defeat would probably just make you feel even more humiliated!’ Lin Li grumbled to himself.

His expression remained unchanged, and he offered no verbal response.

However, after what Li Qian had just said, it wouldn’t look good if he didn’t ramp things up a little.

So, to keep everyone happy and to ensure his own mood wouldn’t be spoiled for lunch, Lin Li decided to ramp up his attacks on Li Qian just a little.

When Li Qian saw Lin Li didn’t respond, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. ’It seems he’s just like all the other stronger opponents I’ve found.

He’s afraid to beat me because I’m the City Lord’s daughter, so he’ll just end it in a draw.’

"Sigh..."

But just as the sigh escaped her lips, the scene that unfolded next instantly lifted Li Qian from her disappointment. Her eyes lit up as she stared at her opponent.

Having decided to increase his attack’s intensity just a bit, Lin Li raised his right hand, and a pale gold Spiritual Light flashed in his palm.

"WHOOSH..."

A faint wind suddenly kicked up, and the air currents rapidly converged on the palm where the pale gold Spiritual Light had just flashed.

"A Superpower?!!!"

"He’s going to use his Superpower."

"Wow, so this Mr. Lin is a Cultivator who’s awakened a Superpower!"

"What’s with your memory? Before the fight even started, didn’t Miss Li’s words already hint that Mr. Lin was a Cultivator who had awakened a Superpower?"

Amidst the buzzing discussion from the spectators below the platform, a twenty-centimeter-long Cyan Wind Blade materialized in Lin Li’s palm.

A single Wind Blade wasn’t a good enough show, Lin Li decided. Over the next ten or so seconds, he materialized more than a dozen Cyan Wind Blades above his palm.

These menacingly sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades were lined up from top to bottom, each separated by less than a centimeter.

"Miss Li, watch out." Lin Li felt that materializing these Wind Blades was a sincere enough effort to fulfill her earlier request.

"Bring it on!" Li Qian replied with a grin, her eyes gleaming. She looked valiant and full of energy.

"SWOOSH."

The instant Li Qian’s voice faded, Lin Li launched his attack. One after another, the menacingly sharp Cyan Wind Blades shot from his hand under his control.

"Miss Li, watch out!" the young maids cried out in alarm, seeing Lin Li unleash his Superpower.

"BANG, BANG, BANG..."

Facing the onslaught of Cyan Wind Blades, Li Qian moved swiftly. On the basketball-court-sized platform, she weaved left and right, nimbly dodging Lin Li’s fierce attack.

"Hah!"

After dodging a barrage of attacks, when the final Cyan Wind Blade flew straight at her, Li Qian stopped evading. With a low shout, she swung her fist, now wreathed in a pale gold Spiritual Light, and punched it head-on.

"BOOM."

The menacingly sharp Cyan Wind Blade was shattered by Li Qian’s punch. The powerful shockwave from the explosion blew outwards, sending Li Qian’s ear-length hair flying back and making her instinctively squint.

"Miss Li is so incredible! Such a fierce Wind Blade attack couldn’t even scratch her," the watching guards said in admiration.

If any of them had been on the platform facing that last exchange, not a single one would have escaped that barrage of Wind Blades unscathed.

Just as the crowd was feeling happy and full of admiration for how easily and flawlessly Li Qian had handled Lin Li’s Wind Blade attack, the situation on the platform took a sudden, drastic turn.

"Miss Li, look out!"

The warning shout had just rung out when Li Qian, who had relaxed slightly after taking on her opponent’s wave of Superpower attacks without a scratch, was struck by a solid, heavy blow.

Lin Li had seized the opening created when Li Qian shattered his Wind Blade. His speed surged, and in the blink of an eye, he closed the distance and threw a punch at her unprepared chest.

Fists and feet have no eyes. Once you’re on the fighting platform, a spar makes no distinction between man and woman.

Anyone else might have hesitated to attack like that out of deference to Li Qian’s status, but Lin Li, being from another world, had no such scruples.

But Li Qian truly was one of the most recognized cultivation geniuses in Dongwu City.

Although she had been caught off guard for a moment, allowing her opponent to seize the opportunity and press the attack, she reacted instantly when she couldn’t dodge, hastily crossing her arms in front of her chest to block.

"BANG."

The fist, glowing with pale gold Spiritual Light, slammed into Li Qian’s right arm. The immense force of the blow sent her flying.

"Hiss..."

After landing, Li Qian stumbled back several steps before steadying herself. She raised her right arm and looked at where Lin Li had hit her.

A dark bruise was already forming on the injured spot, and intense pain shot through her arm.

"THUD, THUD, THUD..."

As Li Qian was checking the injury on her arm, the sound of rapid footsteps reached her ears again. She quickly looked up to see her opponent charging at her once more.

Pressing his advantage was a normal combat strategy. Besides, the spar had already gone on for over seven minutes.

According to Lin Li’s initial plan, it was about time to end this fight, which he considered to be no challenge at all.

"BANG, BANG, BANG..."

A furious storm of blows rained down on Li Qian. She was now completely on the defensive, struggling just to endure Lin Li’s onslaught.

She tried to break free from his suppression, but no matter how she twisted and maneuvered, she couldn’t shake off Lin Li’s relentless assault.

The servants watching from below the platform saw Li Qian being suppressed by Lin Li, completely powerless to retaliate.

As they watched his fists land on her again and again, their jaws dropped in dumbfounded disbelief.

"How can he do that? That Mr. Lin has some nerve! He actually dares to punch Miss Li in the face!"

"BANG."

Li Qian took a punch to the eye and immediately sported a black eye.

Lin Li had held back on that punch. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been as simple as just a black eye.

But even with him holding back, after taking a punch to the head from Lin Li, Li Qian was seeing stars, and the strength of her resistance dropped sharply.

"Miss... that... Mr. Lin, he’s being too ruthless!" the maid, Chunxiang, said, her heart aching as she watched Li Qian take a beating.

"..." Zhu Xinru remained silent. She felt the same as Chunxiang, her heart aching for Li Qian who was being beaten down by Lin Li. After all, this was the cousin she had grown up with!

As Li Qian’s personal bodyguard, He Manyu felt a pang of distress seeing her get hit, but she also had a thought that the others didn’t.

’After taking such a beating this time, maybe Miss will finally tone it down a bit. She won’t go looking for spars every day and will instead focus her time and energy on improving her cultivation.’

"BANG."

Another punch landed on her other eye, giving Li Qian a matching set of black eyes.

But Lin Li’s relentless assault showed no sign of stopping. He continued to swing his fists at Li Qian while saying, "Miss Li, the match is decided. Just give up!"

"It’s not over yet!" Li Qian retorted, stubbornly resisting his attacks with no intention of giving up.

Lin Li had to admit he was impressed by her tenacity.

But he wanted to end this fight quickly and go eat lunch, so he decided to use a finishing move to force her surrender.
