"Look, Long Hai is moving."
"Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
"Why hasn't Kirin made a move yet? It's been almost a minute, could it be that he can't do it?"
"That's impossible! Kirin is so strong, he must be gathering his strength, preparing for the final counterattack. Don't forget, he's a long-renowned expert with a steady mindset. He wouldn't rashly waste his power in haste. That's called being wise."
"Can Long Hai really stand up?"
"Even if he stands up, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll win."
"I don't think so, I support Long Hai, of course, and I also support Kirin."
From the pile of stones, Lin Hai's arm slowly extended, and the rubble clattered down around him.
In the box, Tao Xia's heart leapt to her throat.
Everyone dared not make a sound.
"Cough, cough."
A soft cough once again captured everyone's attention.
It was Kirin who coughed.
"Kirin has indeed woken up."
"Long Hai hasn't struggled out of the rubble yet, it seems he is still slightly inferior to Kirin."
Kirin's eyelids twitched with difficulty, his body made a creaking noise, obviously at its limit, yet he still refused to give up, clenched his teeth, and forcibly opened his eyes.
"He's opened his eyes, Kirin has opened his eyes."
"It's over, Long Hai still hasn't come out."
"He truly is the top-ranked on the Dragon List."
"Pity that Long Hai, so brilliant, but ultimately only to be narrowly defeated."
"This battle is too exciting."
People discussed fervently, having already foreseen the outcome of the battle.
Kirin had opened his eyes, he was bound to win.
With a swish.
Then, the sounds of rustling continued nonstop, as an arm stretched from the rubble clenched tightly, followed by continuous rolling of the stones aside, as if a body was about to break through the rocks, struggling hard.
Suddenly, the debris was crazily swept aside, and that explosively muscular arm forcefully propped itself up, a majestic figure rising slowly from the wreckage, dust and stone chips scattering from his shoulders.
Everyone held their breath once more.
"Phew," a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Lin Hai's mouth. Taking a deep breath, his insides churned like turbulent seas, yet he slowly moved towards Kirin step by step, his gait unsteady but resolutely determined.
"Still wants to fight? After being in such a condition, he still won't give up."
"Indeed a true expert, this perseverance is astounding." Someone exclaimed in admiration.
Step by step, Lin Hai advanced towards Kirin amidst the focused gaze of the masses, almost on the brink of collapsing.
His hand maintained the starting position of Yama Chasing Life, four fingers together, the thumb slightly bent into the palm, like a bow ready to release lethal arrows, slowly aimed at Kirin's forehead.
"You... still have... strength left, cough cough." Kirin struggled to lift his neck, unable to do it, only able to stare at the cold ground, coughing violently, causing his whole body to shake incessantly.
"Fight—!" Lin Hai dragged out a long, weak voice, as if each word exhausted much of his strength.
After speaking, neither of them moved.
Everyone waited.
Lin Hai's hand, with difficulty, struck towards Kirin, extremely slow, each inch forward seemed to require tremendous willpower to continue.
"I lost." Kirin suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of sigh.
"I can only just maintain this posture, I am unable to move anymore. At our level, as long as one can move, there are hundreds of ways to kill the opponent. I lost, Long Hai, you are very strong, truly strong." Kirin showed a slight smile, losing was truly losing.
His palm almost touched Kirin's forehead and stopped.
Lin Hai seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As expected of Kirin, you are very strong. Among those of the same level, you are the toughest opponent I have ever faced."
At this moment, the dust settled.
Everyone present was shocked by this scene, unable to restrain their emotions.
"The Kirin, who has occupied the top spot in the Dragon List for many years, has actually lost."
Someone let out an incredulous exclamation.
This moment undoubtedly belonged to Lin Hai.
Defeating experts from all walks of life.
Slaughter Blade Li, Huo Lie, Broken Water Sword, Syphilis, Ghost Hand, and Kirin!
A single person, in a short period of time, had defeated six Supreme Strong experts, a record worthy of pride.
"Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old," Ghost Master also exclaimed in admiration, walking over and infusing Gang Qi into both of their bodies.
Kirin's complexion recovered slightly, thanking Ghost Master: "Thank you, senior."
"Kirin, you did well too. If you have free time these days, why not stay at my place for a few years," Ghost Master said with a smile, thinking highly of both young men, with intentions to mentor them. If nurtured for several years coupled with hard training, they might even reach the Legendary level, by then the power of Ancient Martial force in Huaxia would be even stronger.
"Thank you, Ghost Master, senior," Lin Hai also said with a bow of his hands.
Ghost Master smiled, then declared in a deep voice to everyone, "The number one on the Dragon List, today, changes hands, Long Hai, wins!"
Countless people gasped and expressed their surprise.
Today's battle would be enough for them to boast for many days to come.
Inside the private box, Old Mr. Tao was also dumbfounded.
"Actually... How does that popular saying go? Oh, sh*t, Lin has actually taken the first place, ahahaha." Old Mr. Tao burst into laughter.
Tao Xia also had tears streaming down her face, Lin Hai had once told her that he would give her a surprise on the Dragon List. Little had she imagined, the surprise would be this significant, and she believed that Lin Hai had paid too much for this surprise, the level of combat was akin to a desperate fight for life.
"Long Hai, this is my contact information. When you have time, come find me. After a few more years of hard training, I'll come back to challenge you again," said Kirin with a smile, without any remorse. Losing was losing, and he could afford the loss.
Lin Hai also smiled apologetically: "Actually, I didn't intend to take the first place, but for some people, some matters, and some feelings, I had no choice but to do so. Honestly, I never thought I could defeat you."
"Losing is losing, but I can see, you're also a fierce man with the hot blood of Huaxia running through his veins. Until we meet again," Kirin said grandly.
"Good, let's make a date. Next time, we'll discuss martial arts over wine, what say?" Lin Hai said, smiling.
"Good!"
After saying this, Kirin suddenly turned around, under the regretful and watchful eyes of countless people, silently left.
Watching Kirin's retreating figure, somehow, there seemed to be a lonely desolation. This battle was the first time he tasted defeat in his life…
"Young friend, here's my contact as well, remember to look me up if you happen to visit Yanjing," Ghost Master also took out a small piece of paper and handed it to Lin Hai.
The people around were envious, sh*t, actually getting a chance to connect with a Legendary senior, if they went to Yanjing later, wouldn't they walk sideways?
"Many thanks, senior," Lin Hai gratefully said.
"Go get your injuries treated, I will have the prizes for first place sent to Old Tao's private box later," said Ghost Master with a smile, waving his hand.
After thanking again, Lin Hai walked towards the second-floor private box through a passage the crowd had made way for.
The number one on the Dragon List, Long Hai!
...
On the other side, at this moment, Ouyang Xiaoya was surrounded by a dozen armed policemen.
"Don't move, take all these fallen women onto the bus."
"You…" Ouyang Xiaoya tried to speak.
"Shut up," a female officer said rudely.
Around Ouyang Xiaoya, several skimpily dressed girls, panicking, knelt on the ground, hugging their heads, while the shop's walls were all pink, with a sofa, several simple massage chairs, and a strong scent of Erotic massage, with "Mandarin Duck Rose Foot Therapy Store" prominently displayed on the sign.
Besides, a few sleazy men were brought down from the second floor by the police, covering their faces in shame. However, when they saw Ouyang Xiaoya, a sparkle erupted in their eyes, seemingly determined to find this girl the next time they visited the store.
Ouyang Xiaoya was also rudely pushed onto the police car.
