Both of them had just returned to the city after training and came straight to the morning meeting, still unaware that Lin Zichen had beaten Xia Liu's trio half to death, rendering them bedridden even now.

"Xia Liu, Liu Xinyi, and Gao Jianying are currently recuperating and temporarily confined to their beds," said Fu Zhou, one of the witnesses, in a calm voice.

Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao listened with full confusion.

Zhao Qingxian spoke up, asking, "What happened to them? Did they go after that Ice Giant Python, only to get beaten by it instead?"

He had heard from Xia Liu that the three of them planned to hunt the Ice Giant Python in the forest to the right of the city.

It was an Ice Giant Python of the High-Level Ninth Order Great Perfection, not low in biological level.

But because it was in its gestation period, its strength had significantly decreased.

Theoretically, as long as Xia Liu and the others were well-prepared, they should have been able to hunt it successfully.

Yet, the reality was that not only did they fail the hunt, but they also ended up bedridden.

This was indeed difficult to understand.

As Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao pondered this, Lan Tianbai, who was an instructor, spoke up with a smile,

"You might not believe this, but Xia Liu and his group weren't defeated by the Ice Giant Python; instead, they were defeated by this newcomer who just joined our team."

What?!

Including Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao, nearly ten people present were momentarily stunned, then their faces turned to shock.

Xia Liu and his group were beaten by a newcomer?

How is that possible?

Xia Liu's biological level is High-Level Ninth Order.

The remaining Liu Xinyi and Gao Jianying are also at the High-Level Eighth Order.

Together, the three of them, if well-coordinated, might have a chance to defeat a fighter of High-Level Ninth Order Great Perfection.

If they were still defeated by a newcomer, what level could this newcomer be at?

Rare Level?

But is that possible?

It clearly seemed impossible.

"Brother Bai, are you serious? You aren't joking, right?"

Zhao Qingxian voiced his doubt.

He had a good relationship with Lan Tianbai, who was the team leader when he first joined.

Lan Tianbai said earnestly, "Although it sounds unbelievable, it is indeed true. Many people saw it happen that day, and I have already gotten confirmation from the City Lord."

Upon hearing this response, those present who looked astonished suddenly became utterly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.

A 19-year-old newcomer, who grew up on the evolution resource-scarce Earth until he joined the team, had strength comparable to a Rare Level Fighter?

What on earth was going on?!

Everyone present felt unable to understand; it seemed unreal.

"You're called Lin Zichen, right? Interested in sparring with me for a couple of moves?"

A young man named Gao Zilong stood up and issued a challenge to Lin Zichen.

He didn't believe Lin Zichen truly had the strength comparable to a Rare Level Fighter and wanted to verify it himself.

Lin Zichen glanced at Gao Zilong and with the aid of "Danger Perception," instantly ascertained his biological information.

High-Level Ninth Order.

Fused with seven Exotic Beast Genes.

Dual cultivation of spirit and Qi-Blood.

Yes, very strong.

But in front of me, completely insufficient...

Thinking this, Lin Zichen calmly said, "You are too weak; sparring with you would be meaningless."

"You...!"

Gao Zilong almost spit blood from anger.

This newcomer was too arrogant, so arrogant he gave no face at all, utterly disrespectful!

"I want to see if you're as strong as Instructor Lan says!"

Before Gao Zilong had even finished speaking, his robust body began showing extensive transformations.

His pupils turned blood red.

His skin covered with black scales.

Sharp bone blades grew from the outer sides of his arms.

In just the blink of an eye, he transformed from a somewhat ugly young man into a warrior radiating a powerful aura.

Experience tales with empire

"Buzz!"

A piercing sound of tearing through the air arose.

Gao Zilong moved like a shadow, charging towards Lin Zichen at a speed unseen to the naked eye, raising a large swath of dried twigs and leaves in his wake, kicking up a cloud of dust.

So powerful!

This explosive speed was indeed at least at the High-Level Ninth Order!

Gao Zilong had evolved...

The veteran team members all showed surprise on their faces.

They had not expected Gao Zilong to have evolved to High-Level Ninth Order after his training.

To think, Gao Zilong was not yet 22 years old.

At 22, reaching High Level Ninth Order, this evolutionary talent is almost catching up with Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao.

Just when everyone was dazzled by Gao Zilong.

"Bang!"

With that sound, a figure shot backward at extreme speed.

It was Gao Zilong.

Under everyone's gaze, Gao Zilong heavily crashed into a sky-scraping giant tree, plunging deep into the trunk, completely motionless.

What happened?

Almost everyone was shocked, having failed to see clearly how Gao Zilong was sent flying.

Only Rare Level fighters Lan Tianbai, Zhao Qingxian, and Zhang Tao barely caught a glimpse of Lin Zichen throwing a punch in an instant, blasting the approaching Gao Zilong away.

The whole event took just a few milliseconds to finish, too quick for anyone to react.

"You really are unbelievably strong; let me have a match with you!"

As this was announced.

The next second, Zhang Tao, still injured in the abdomen, leaped out from the crowd.

As he landed from the air, the muscles on his body inflated like a balloon, rapidly growing, boosting his original height of 1.9 meters to over three meters in an instant.

So big!

How could he become so huge?

Is this what a Rare Level Fighter is?

So terrifying!

Watching Zhang Tao turn into a giant, many onlookers were deeply shocked.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Zhang Tao moved, charging towards Lin Zichen with heavy steps, each step making the ground tremble incessantly.

Facing Zhang Tao's tank-like charge, Lin Zichen stood his ground, utterly calm the whole time, without a ripple of disturbance.

"Step back a bit."

Lin Zichen warned Shen Qinghan beside him.

Shen Qinghan, without making a sound, quickly stepped back several paces to avoid hindering Lin Zichen's actions.

"Thump!"

Only hearing this particularly heavy landing sound.

Just a moment ago Zhang Tao, who had been a hundred meters away, had already charged in front of Lin Zichen, swinging a fist bigger than a bucket fiercely at Lin Zichen's handsome face.

In the nick of time.

Lin Zichen raised his elbow, carrying the terrifying Blood Qi Power, and fiercely elbowed Zhang Tao's iron fist.

When Zhang Tao threw the fist, he did so with immense confidence.

He firmly believed that with this heavy punch, Lin Zichen would undoubtedly be defeated, confined to bed for at least three months.

But at that very moment Lin Zichen threw his elbow!

A huge "death" character flashed before his eyes, covering all his vision, drastically changing his complexion; he immediately exerted force in his legs, trying to distance himself from Lin Zichen.

However, it was already too late.

Lin Zichen's elbow strike, as swift as lightning, collided with Zhang Tao's iron fist at the moment he planned to retreat.

Soon, only a loud "boom" was heard!

The terrible backlash from the collision, like a nuclear explosion, spread ferociously, instantly flinging nearby plants and grass into the air towards the distance.

Even talents with lower Biological Levels like Shen Qinghan, Qian Yifei, and Zhao Zixuan were sent flying by the blast, lifted into the air.

Then, the aftermath of the collision disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In its place, a unilateral shockwave burst forth, dragging along a massive shadow that blotted out the sky, sending everything in its path flying away.

So fast!

I didn't even see how the strike was performed!

Zhao Qingxian, Zhang Tao, eager to have a trial, wanted to spar with Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen said, sure.

He too wanted to see if he could defeat a Rare Level Fighter.

One-on-one, after a few moves, he won effortlessly.

Then he said, now you two come at the same time.

A bit of pressure.

Then, Forest Lord!

Vines surged skyward!

Everyone was scared, thinking it was an attack from the Divine Plant Cult.

When they realized it was Lin Zichen's strength, the whole scene was shocked!

He instantly killed two Rare Level Fighters.

The whole scene was shocked!
