When Lin Xiao appeared again, it was instead his turn to be facing a beating.

Standing there, Lin Xiao merely looked at the middle aged man that had its skull cracked open due to his punch just now. His own hand was not in any better condition because the skin was torn open and the bones were partially exposed.

Yet, there was not even a hint of pain in his current expression.

If only Lin Yun was there, he would be able to see that his older brother was simply holding everything in. After all, they used to be only have each other and to make sure that Lin Yun was not worried, Lin Xiao would hold everything in his heart.

Even if he was in pain, he would not show it unless he was up for a joking.

Even if his entire body was destroyed, he would still not show it to his little brother just because he didn't want them to be worried.

It was only when he was certain that he would be fine that he would joke with them and said that it was hurt with idiot expression. Lin Yun would then rebuke his brother for his recklessness.

"Ugh…" Prince Lin San felt a bit nausea when he saw the scene. Even when they were fighting in the cave before, Lin Xiao had never cracked anyone's skull open and let the brain destroyed like that.

In addition… why didn't he say anything about his hand?

It must be hurting, right?

Princess Lan Yi Hua's eyes turned red. How much she wished to be able to enter the arena right now and treat Lin Xiao's hand. But she felt that it would be very inappropriate for her to do so. 

"You lose," Prince Lin Yan said in naturally calm tone.

The man's face was ashen but he was already saying that he would pay in front of so many people. He took out his bag and threw the pouch containing 1000 Low Grade Spirit Stones to Prince Lin Yan. 

"Good, very good of you to conceal his true ability."

"It's already good enough that he can fight a leap battle."

Leap here meant that he was fighting against someone who was at completely different realm. Naturally, everyone knew that it was rare for Foundation Establishment Cultivator to be able to fight against Golden Core Stage 1 and return back unscathed.

Well, Lin Xiao's hand was hurt but it was not a fatal wound and would heal soon.

With Lin Xiao's constitution and ability, it was clear that he would be able to recover soon enough.

"You…"

Prince Lin Yan took out two spirit stones and threw it to Lin Xiao. "Use it to recover your strength. You're continuing."

Lin Xiao looked at his older brother for a moment then nodded. He used the two Low Grade Spirit Stones and absorbed them calmly, using it to heal his wounds slowly to make sure that he still could use his right hand naturally.

"What actually happen there?" Princess Lan Yi Hua asked in trembling tone through voice transmission to Prince Lin San.

Prince Lin San had used his Eyes of Truth to watch the fight, so he naturally noticed what Lin Xiao's plan was. "It's like this… there's a time when you can't retract a punch again and that's what Lin Xiao aim when he tried to challenge the middle aged man for a punching contest.

He was basically taunting the middle aged man to land a punch until the end. When the punch was already nearing the limit, which was the furthest position, Lin Xiao used his movement technique. As you already know, Moon Evasion is a technique that allowed him to move instantaneously with the price of using Qi.

It allowed him to move at the back of the middle aged man and continued his own punch there, attacking the middle aged man at his vulnerable spot. Since the middle aged man can't stop, he failed to defend in time. He was also so confident that he would win that he forgot to consider that he might lose.

After Lin Xiao punched him, he also didn't allow the middle aged man to recover and used his Mountain Punch to land another hit, thus securing victory."

Even now, Prince Lin San felt fear when he recalled the way Lin Xiao fought. He was only moments away from death and yet Lin Xiao showed no hesitation, bulldozing his way front and challenged someone who was at higher rank.

It was scary.

"I see." Princess Lan Yi Hua naturally knew about the upper limit of a punch, but she could never use it like that.

It was too dangerous because if they made a mistake even at 0.01 seconds, they might die because of the attack or even be crippled. Yet, Lin Xiao dared to take that gamble and won.

It was terrifying.

Prince Lin Yan chuckled and he looked at the crowd. "Who else?"

"Do you still want him to fight against Golden Core Cultivator?" Another man probed.

"Naturally."

"What kind of cultivator do you want?"

Hearing that, Prince Lin Yan's eyes squinted. "Oh, you have several of them? How about elemental?"

"Choosing the most common cultivator?" The man chuckled. He adjusted his robe and leaned back with a faint smile. "Naturally I have the necessary cultivators but do you dare to bet big with me?"

"Oh, how much?" Prince Lin Yan was naturally interested.

"3000 Low Grade Spirit Stones."

Hearing the number, Prince Lin San's eyes nearly popped out. F*ck! Even the academy was not that generous enough to give the first place that many spirit stones. They all could quickly advance to become Golden Core Stage if they have so much spirit stones.

But of course, they also needed to stabilize the Qi inside their body so there was a fixed time that they can't surpass. 

"Sure." Prince Lin Yan nodded in agreement. He looked at Lin Xiao, who had finished absorbing the two Spirit Stones. "Do you need more?"
