Boom——!!!
If Lin Yuan suppressing Ye Xuan with a single thought before was a deep-sea bomb dropped into people’s understanding, then this time, the video of him making Huangfu Zhuo kneel with a single glance was the equivalent of detonating a nuclear bomb!
“Holy shit, what did I just see?! A god descending to the mortal realm?!”
“Remove the ‘mortal realm’ part! That IS a god! One glance! Just a single fucking glance! And that 6th stage Bone Refining Realm genius knelt like a grandson!”
“I know Huangfu Zhuo! He’s the Huangfu family’s prodigy—arrogant, domineering, a beast in battle! And yet… before God Lin, not even as good as a dog!”
“You know what’s the craziest part? God Lin was lying down the whole time! He couldn’t even be bothered to get up! He even yawned at the end and complained the guy was too noisy! That’s god-tier composure!”
“Ye Xuan is still breaking his back for a national championship, and Lin Yuan just sleeps at home and casually makes a scene a hundred times more sensational than winning a title! The comparison is enough to kill you!”
“Please, stop comparing Ye Xuan to God Lin! That’s an insult to divinity!”
The storm across the internet surged unstoppably, sweeping into every corner of the digital world.
…
Capital Martial Arts Academy, girls’ dormitory.
Gu Ningxue was leaning lazily on the couch.
With a face mask on, she browsed the forum with great interest.
When she came across the top-ranked video, her rosy lips curled into a graceful smile.
In the video—
That man was still his usual lazy self, disinterested in everything.
Yet it was precisely that attitude, steeped in casual indifference, that unleashed a moment which shocked the entire world.
“A lion never cares for the opinions of sheep… This man… really is becoming more and more unfathomable… and even more interesting.” Gu Ningxue recalled that phrase again, and let out a soft giggle.
She closed the video. A strange glint flickered in her beautiful eyes.
She suddenly felt… maybe it was time she made the first move.
…
Meanwhile.
Inside Li Xuan’er’s room, the atmosphere was as suffocating as hell itself.
She had seen the video too.
When she saw Huangfu Zhuo’s previously untouchable form crumble and kneel under Lin Yuan’s single indifferent glance, vomiting blood…
She was completely stunned.
A wave of absurdity and terror, stronger than what she had felt when the security guard humiliated her by “releasing the dogs,” surged through her entire body.
She finally understood. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
She always thought Ye Xuan’s rise meant she had found another path to the top.
But now she realized—She had jumped off an aircraft carrier onto a sinking canoe and felt proud of her “brilliant choice”!
Lin Yuan’s strength had surpassed her understanding!
And that power Ye Xuan obtained by burning his life force? In front of Lin Yuan’s godlike might?
It was nothing but a joke! A colossal joke!
No!
She couldn’t let this continue!
She had already lost everything!
She absolutely couldn’t let the last flicker of hope disappear before her eyes!
Jealousy, unwillingness, regret, fear…
All these emotions twisted in her heart and finally merged into a single, desperate thought.
Ye Xuan!
Yes! Ye Xuan was still here!
He was now the brightest star of the national tournament, on the verge of claiming the championship!
She had sacrificed everything for him!
All the resources Lin Yuan had given her—she gave them all to Ye Xuan!
He couldn’t possibly abandon her like this!
As long as they got back together, and she leveraged his current fame and status, there was still a chance!
Like someone clutching her last straw, a deranged glint returned to Li Xuan’er’s eyes.
She sprang from her bed and bolted out of the room.
…
Inside the presidential suite of the five-star hotel hosting the national tournament contestants.
Ye Xuan had just finished a grueling match and was still basking in the overwhelming cheers and worship of the crowd.
He opened the forum, intending to indulge in the praise articles flooding the internet.
But what greeted him instead… was a headline that made his pupils contract violently.

Lin Yuan?
His heart skipped a beat. A dreadful sense of foreboding rose uncontrollably.
He clicked the video. Get faster updates on g.com.
And in it, that man he hated to his core—just lazily opened his eyes—
And made a martial artist far stronger than him kneel without resistance.
BOOM——!
It was as if a nuclear bomb went off in Ye Xuan’s brain, shattering everything into white noise.
“No… no way! That’s impossible!”
He leapt to his feet, hysterical, and smashed the jade table in front of him—worth over a million—into pieces with a single punch!
“Huangfu Zhuo is 8th stage Bone Refining Realm! Stronger than me! How the hell did Lin Yuan do it?! How did a single glance make him kneel?!”
“What level is he at now?! 9th stage Bone Refining Realm?! No! Even peak 9th stage shouldn’t be able to do something like that! This makes no sense! It’s unfair!”
He had suffered, risked his life, and burned away his lifespan for everything he had now.
He thought he had finally reached the same level as Lin Yuan—maybe even surpassed him.
But what was the result?
Reality slapped him with the loudest, cruelest blow.
The gap between him and Lin Yuan hadn’t closed.
It had widened—into a chasm so deep he couldn’t even see the bottom!
Pfft——!
Blood burst from his lips as his rage surged, staining the ornate carpet red.
Just then, in his sea of consciousness, the weary voice of the Extreme Dao Ancestor echoed slowly.
“Sigh… I warned you long ago—Lin Yuan is unfathomable. I told you to restrain your pride, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“You thought you could leap ahead with one forbidden technique and step on him? Foolish!”
“In martial cultivation, foundation is everything! His family is vast and powerful. He’s been immersed in heavenly treasures since childhood. His foundation is far beyond what you can imagine! The gap between you and him… isn’t something easily crossed.”
“Master…” Ye Xuan’s voice trembled with despair. “After all I’ve sacrificed… all I’ve burned away… does this mean… I’m not even qualified to be his opponent?”
The Extreme Dao Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, “At this point, there’s no point in saying more. Your only path forward is to work harder. Ten times, a hundred times harder—to close that gap!”
“Hard work… right! Hard work!”
Ye Xuan’s gaze, after a moment of despair, was once again consumed by an even more fanatical and obsessive fire!
“I, Ye Xuan, am the Chosen One! I will never lose! I will work harder! Until the day I crush him completely beneath my feet!”
He was just about to throw himself back into a mad training frenzy.
But at that moment, the doorbell rang.
