Yi didn't speak again.
Member Three: Are you two in Soul City? What's happening on the scene?
Member Three: Come on, tell me, I'm so curious!
However, Member Three's messages were like stones thrown into the sea within the chat group, eliciting no response whatsoever.
Probably because the other two were not focused on the chat group at that moment.
At that time, Bi Bidong sheathed his Devil's Sickle, glanced at Lin Yi, and considerately stepped aside.
Thousand Waves and the others hesitated for a moment, then also moved aside.
It wasn't that they didn't believe Lin Yi couldn't handle the situation.
It was just that, having received such a huge favor from Lin Yi, stepping forward to stop Bear Lord was simply doing what was right as human beings.
With Bear Lord's enormous stature moving among the Soul Masters, he was like a walking mountain, his powerful aura intimidating the surrounding Soul Masters into retreating.
He made no effort to conceal his own aura, and if one looked closely, they would see the Air around him twisting due to the violent force.
As Bear Lord passed by Chen Xin, he turned his head and revealed a fiercely malicious smile. In that instant, the Seven Kills Sword Martial Spirit that Chen Xin held suddenly shattered.
Chen Xin was astonished.
Soon after, a prickling pain spread across his skin.
Chen Xin couldn't help but take a step back, his face filled with shock.
This was an absolute dominance of power!
He knew that the ferocious beast in front of him, like himself, was pursuing the extreme in a certain aspect!
Chen Xin's pursuit was the way of the sword, while this ferocious beast pursued the extreme of strength!
It seemed he indeed had the capital to be arrogant, even in front of Di Tian!
Bear Lord's hostility shifted away from Chen Xin, as Chen Xin was not the target of his provocation this time.
His target was the young man in the stands.
Bear Lord's single step crossed five steps, covering a distance an ordinary person would need ten steps to traverse in merely two.
"Lin Yi, take it easy in life and death. I, Bear Lord, don't hold back at all when I strike," he said with a savage smile in his words.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; he almost understood.
This Bear Lord wasn't entirely on someone else's mission; he harbored the intention to kill, though Lin Yi didn't know the reason.
But Lin Yi didn't think he had crossed paths with him before.
Against the backdrop of his mountainous figure, Lin Yi appeared as insignificant as an ant.
In the next moment, an even larger shadow of a Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear slowly raised its head behind Bear Lord.
Bi Bidong swore that this Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear was the most terrifying one she had ever seen.
Its eyes were blood-red, its face scarred and fierce, and the low growl from its mouth was as heavy as thunder, its bloodthirsty and ferocious aura spilling out uncontrollably.
This was the king of the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bears.
"Lin Yi, let me see what you are capable of!" shouted Bear Lord, his voice wild and his eyes filled with the intent to kill!
He raised his arm, thick as a boulder, and his dark gold claws unfurled in midair!
The lethal strike fell heavily towards Lin Yi's head, the Air screaming in agony.
"Slash—"
The terrifying dark gold claw landed on Lin Yi's shoulder, tearing diagonally downwards!
The fragile cloth was like paper, torn to pieces by the ravaging force and scattered on the ground.
But that was all, only Lin Yi's clothes were shredded.
His lean body, devoid of excess fat, was revealed; tall and well-proportioned with clearly defined abs, his skin a healthy wheat color.
Most importantly, not a single scratch appeared on Lin Yi's body.
Lin Yi looked up, his expression impassive as he asked the stunned Bear Lord, "Surprised?"
Bear Lord's eyes widened, indeed surprised.
Disbelievingly, he glanced at his palm and then at Lin Yi, whose skin was unscathed.
What happened?
That should have torn the boy apart!
Bear Lord raised his palm again, his robust gold claws covering the sky and blocking the sun.
"Boom!"
But before his claws could strike down, Lin Yi's raised right foot had already landed on his lower abdomen.
Bear Lord couldn't even see his opponent's speed before his entire body was sent blasting forward like a cannonball!
"Be careful!"
Di Tian, with eyes wide open, called out as he watched Bear Lord flying toward him.
At that moment, green wind elements suddenly floated in the air, slowing down Bear Lord's momentum.
Despite this, Bear Lord's entire body still slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
Bi Ji was stunned.
By now, Di Tian looked warily in Lin Yi's direction and quickly pulled Bi Ji back.
"Let's move further away."
"Oh okay——"
Bi Ji, agile as a rabbit, hopped away with a smile on her face, enjoying the spectacle from the sidelines. After all, it wasn't her getting beaten up.
Bear Lord lay on the ground motionless, as if he had passed out.
"Snap!"
Just then, Bear Lord, as if slapped awake while lying on the ground, rapidly came to his senses.
He hurriedly got up from the ground, looking toward the stands.
Lin Yi slowly walked down the steps, his expression calm and serene throughout.
The Soul Masters nearby, however, were more excited than ever,
cheering and jubilant as they watched Lin Yi's retreating figure.
Chen Xin couldn't help but murmur, "This time he's pursued ultimate strength, only to encounter the true Ultimate Power..."
The young man walked slowly towards Bear Lord.
Bear Lord seemed somewhat intimidated and didn't move forward immediately.
But by now, Lin Yi had already reached in front of him.
At this moment, all Soul Masters retreated far back, clearing a large open space in the middle.
Bear Lord looked at Lin Yi with a serious expression, anger accumulating in his heart; then, he reverted to his fierce demeanor.
Swinging his arms, Bear Lord's body rapidly expanded; dark gold fur grew from his body.
Soon, a twenty-meter-tall Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear leaped forward, pouncing towards Lin Yi's small stature.
He was the king of the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bears of the Aquipeia Forest, now intent on reclaiming the dignity he had just lost.
His three to four-meter-long claws swept down at Lin Yi's head, exerting a hefty force that caused the ground under Lin Yi's feet to feel as if it were caving in slightly.
As the claws were about to come crashing down, Lin Yi simply shifted to the side with an indifferent expression; his body was precisely between the gaps of the two dark gold claws!
Di Tian was dumbstruck.
What kind of psychological fortitude and control over timing did this require?!
In reality, Lin Yi simply possessed unmatched speed.
Even the most formidable attacks appeared to slow down several times in front of him.
Bear Lord was utterly stunned.
But what followed next was even more shocking to him.
Lin Yi leaned slightly forward, each hand grabbing a dark gold claw; he then gripped firmly.
"Bang——"
The two claws snapped instantly!
Bear Lord let out a painful roar, staggering a few steps backward before collapsing to the ground.
Di Tian was flabbergasted; he turned immediately to glance at the air beside him, sensing that the person hidden within it was also projecting a shocked expression.
Bear Lord's Duskgold claws were unmatched in hardness, and yet, they were casually snapped by the youth!
Lin Yi held a dark gold claw in each hand, then tossed them aside like throwing away trash.
The two broken claws, each one to two meters long, stuck in the ground, while he continued to walk toward Bear Lord.
This counterattack, it seemed, was far from over!
