Lingtian grinned at Nie Li as he adjusted his MMA stance , remembering how Conner McGregor started off any fight .

Nie Li brought his entire body in a Shaolin stance as soul force enhanced his feet and arms .

Lin Lingtian jumped forward as he went into a right hook .

Nie Li put his hands forward to block .

But Lin Lingtian's right hook was a faint as he followed up with a Aú sem mão which was an aerial cartwheel .

( Slam )

Nie Li's body twist in the air as he twisted his body mid air and landed like a frog .

Pushing soul force into his legs , Nie Li prounched Lin like a tiger .

Lin Lingtian readjusted his position as he lowered his body .

' 1 '

' 2 '

Lin Lingtian performed an Aú de Frente which was also known as Volta ao Mundo , in which is performed by by positioning the arms near the ears , lunging forward and quickly raising one leg , with the other leg . The leg are held straight in a split as they travel overhead . The back is then arched until the leading foot touches the floor .

Due to Nie Li lunging forward and Lin Lingtian's perfect timing .

( A.N : Guys imagine Lin using those one handed front walkover performed during acro dance to smash Nie Li into the ground face first )

Nie Li's face was smashed into the ground .

Lin Lingtian began to barrage Nie Li's face with multiple jabs .

Nie Li tried to adapt to Lin Lingtian's fighting but unbeknownst to him Lin was changing his fighting style from mma to capoeira to wrestling.

Lin Lingtian used a punt kick as Nie Li's entire body was thrown quite a few meters away .

( Spit )

Nie Li tried to stand up but his eyes were swollen from Lin Lingtian's hits .

Unlike others Lin Lingtian didn't have to concentrate to use soul force to strengthen his body . Due to his status his strength was automatically enhanced .

Nie Li tried to stand up but another punt kick from Lin Lingtian caused him to crash into the wall .

His Armour was broken .

Looking at Lin's indifferent face , Nie Li could feel the bloodlust that hide behind the indifferent mask ,' If only I was a silver rank I could fight this bastard who is at the gold rank , this dark guild scum would definitely kill him , I must do something to catch the attention of the City lord or I will die under the dark guilds hands '

If he died here, then everything would be lost!

The whole Glory City still awaits for him to save them!

Boom!

His soul realm shocked, Nie Li flew spitting out blood and heavily hit the wall and fell.

Nie Li wiped the traces of blood at the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up. Waves of soul force were circling around him, gradually forming into large wings on his back. This is soul forming. Furthermore, it's three pairs. Six huge wings were slowly flapping behind, waves of soul force were confronting Lin Lingtian .

At this moment, Nie Li was suspend in the air, like a god. His eyes had faint hints of a frightening aura.

( Gasps )

Everyone watching the fight of Nie Li and Lin Lingtian couldn't help but gasp .

" So...ul Forming "

No one knew who said it but everyone there couldn't help but gulp .

This Nie Li showed he has the potential to become the next Ye Mo , a legend rank .

The friends of Nie Li , smirked expecting nothing less from their brother while looking at the different Lin Lingtian with a sneer .

Feeling the Powerful soul force from Nie Li and his soul forming z that was the last star as Lin Lingtian's soul force erupted .

The majestic waves of Nie Li's aura were completely engulfed by Lin Lingtian's crimson soul force .

The killer intent and bloodlust brought everyone except Nie Li to there knees some were crying , some were begging , some had even been knocked out .

Nie Li flew back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nie Li's soul force was continuously bombarding against Lin Lingtian's soul force, causing explosions in the air.

Nie Li was once again, sent flying. Wounds covered his body.

( Boom ! )

Dust covered Lin Lingtian's body as a blue glow attracted Nie Li's attention .

( Woosh ! )

Feeling the danger , Nie Li turned to the side a wave of blue fire missed his right side .

Looking at Lin Lingtian's hand , a giant halberd with many inscription array decorating it as blue flames came to life at the edge of the blade .

Pointing it forward , a beam of blue shot towards Nie Li who used his wings to fly up .

Licking his lips , Lin Lingtian jumped up and brought his halberd down on Nie Li .

Crossing his arms , Nie Li felt the armour on his arms finally break .

( Boom ! )

Crashing into the ground , Nie Li tried to move but a shadow covered him .

It was Ye Ziyun .

" St...op "

She could only say as her legs and body shivered in fear from Lin Lingtian's bloodlust .

Lin Lingtian frowned , as he wanted to push Nie Li into revealing more of his cards to himself more stronger and more skilled . For the first time the War God Technique had not slowed down , it was still circulating .

( Slap )

Lin Lingtian back handed slapped Ye Ziyun as her body flew through the courtyard where Nie Li and Lin Lingtian were fighting .

Seeing his beloved goddess get hit like that something snapped in Nie Li's head as he disregarded everything and began to perform the Soul Reversal Technique .

He will make Lin Lingtian pay even if it meant dying .

Closing his eyes , Nie Li found himself in his soul sea .

His breathing began to create a Harmony between his soul sea and body . His breathing began to match the rhythm of close and release of soul force .

Exhale while releasing soul force , inhale while withdrawing the soul force to his soul sea and then immediately it began to reverse as the soul force began to condense outside his body .

An armour of soul force began to form on Nie Li's body .

This was the Soul Reversal Technique .

This Armour was boasting Nie Li power as his soul force was like it was in a pressure cooker it was boiling and the steam was pushing his power physically and spiritually .

[ 3 Star Bronze rank ]

[ 4 star Bronze rank ]

[ 5 star Bronze rank ]

[ 1 star silver rank ]

Lin Lingtian feeling the danger rushed forward injecting all huge amounts of soul force into his halberd .

Under the attack of Lin Lingtian , Nie Li raised his hand as his soul force created a blue layer of armour like what certain pirates from the New World are able to do .

( Boom ! )

Lin Lingtian's eyes widened as he looked at Nie Li .

[ 2 star silver rank ]

" Soul Mountain Fist " Nie Li whispered as his fist turned into streams of light .

The streams of light before they made contact with Lin's body , solidified as soul force converged into one point " Nie Li's Knuckles "

( Boom ! )

Lin Lingtian's body crashed into wall as he felt all his bones break but the War God Technique was stimulating .

Crimson Soul Force erupted from Lin Lingtian's body , repairing his body .

[ War God's Bone Assembly : Soul Force is moving according to the War God's Technique and begin used to repair broken bones , torn ligaments , haemorrhage , and making body more stronger by 100% ] [ Duration : 1 hour ] ( + - )

Pushing the plus button till it's infinite , Lin Lingtian smirked he could feel the War God Technique getting stronger along with the War God's Technique Battle Tactics .

Nie Li erupted again in soul force as he was now a 3 star silver rank .

Nie Li entire body turned into streamed of light and appeared Infront of Lin Lingtian who was ready after seeing Nie Li's stance .

Nie Li palm attack missed but destroyed the wall behind Lin Lingtian .

Lin Lingtian grinned as his soul force erupted out of all his body .

[ Demon Spiritualist : 5 star bronze rank ]

The Danger of fighting Nie Li had pushed Lin Lingtian to advance into the peak of the bronze rank .

Lin Lingtian took out his axe from his interspatial ring mid swing as a blue flames axe slashed at Nie Li's forehead .

Turning into streams of light , Nie Li appeared a few meters away from him which a cut on his forehead that was just superficial .

With Lin Lingtian's 340% increased Enlightenment , he noticed something that not many people would have noticed .

The armour on Nie Li's forehead repaired in conjunction with Nie Li's respiration .

Lin Lingtian figured that this technique was linked with the respiration .

He must somehow disturb Nie Li breathing so that this technique may be disturbed or he could very well increase to 1 star silver rank which is not an option for Lin Lingtian .

If he advanced to 1 star silver rank without forming his second heart then he would have ruined his Cultivation path .

It was necessary that he makes a second heart before reaching silver rank .

Taking out two axes , Lin lingtian confident look enraged Nie Li who was now a 4 star silver rank .

Holding his axes in a cross , Lin lingtian threw an axe towards Lu Piao .

Not expecting it , Nie li turned into streams of light as he caught the Axe thrown at lu Liao as his eyes caught more weapons being thrown at his unconscious brothers .

( Swish )

Catching all the weapons , Nie li looked around to see where that scum was ?

Soul force erupted from nie li's body as he was now a 5 star silver rank .

Nie li felt an ominous feeling from all the weapons surrounding him .

Suddenly fire erupted from all the weapons as Lin lingtian standing behind a wall transfered soul force through an inscription array to his weapons .

Nie Li quickly picked up his friends and threw them over the wall of fire surrounding him .

Suddenly he paused as he again erupted in soul force .

Soul Force began to greedily enter his Dantian .

Lin lingtian who had timed when Nie Li advanced in rank used the moment of pause by Nie Li to erupted his soul force to his weapons which formed a giant ring of blue fire around Nie Li .

The fire disturbed Nie Li's breathing as cracks appeared on Nie Li's blue haki Like armour .

( Boom ! )

Like a second sun being born a flash of blinding light covered the hold orchid .

.

[ The City Lord's Mansion ]

Ye Zong looked grimly at Ye Shuo who said "...Student Nie Li is in a coma and ..."

( Knock ~ Knock ~ )

Before Ye Shuo could continu , a guard knocked on the door .

" City Lord , The Affairs Elder of the Sacred Family Shen Ming has requested to have an audience with you about the Dark Guild ."

Ye Zong and Ye Shuo looked at each other and nodded.

" Let him in ."

" Yes , City Lord ."

[ Author Note : Everyone I wanted to address a few things before you comment . In the initial fight of Nie Li vs Lin Lingtian our Mc had such an easy time was due to his buffs which had ranked him equal to a gold rank and in the original novel , due to the two level difference of gold and black gold between Nie Li and Ye Zong had caused Nie li to get a beat down even though Nie Li had years of experience so due to the difference in power and having never encountered how Lin's fighting style . Nie Li had a hard time fighting the mc in the first half . That's why Nie li had referred to Lin lingtian as having gold rank . Second the fight between Lin and Nie li may feel forced but it was the only way for me to get to the next arc which will be completely different from the novel of TDG . Third everyone you can search the moves that Lin did on google if my description of the move was inadequate .]
