"Thud," the muffled sound of leg colliding with leg rang out, and one person emitted an equally muffled low moan.

To Lin Lan's surprise, Luo Ziling remained unscathed after a heavy leg-to-leg collision with the pale-faced man.

That low, dull sound came from the universally acknowledged super fighter—the pale-faced man.

From this, it could be inferred that Luo Ziling had actually gained the upper hand in the head-to-head battle with the pale-faced man.

What further shocked Lin Lan happened immediately after. Capitalizing on the momentum from his previous kick, Luo Ziling slid back two steps, then spun and leaped into the air, delivering a powerful spinning kick at the pale-faced man with astonishing force.

The pale-faced man had not anticipated Luo Ziling would dare to clash directly with him, and was even more surprised that after their legs collided, this seemingly delicate young man appeared unharmed.

Not only was he unharmed, but he also launched an attack without any hesitation. Filled with shock, the pale-faced man didn't dare to block it directly and immediately dodged to the side.

But Luo Ziling seemed to have predicted his evasion, reacting instantly.

Even before his body had landed, he twisted sideways, changing direction for another fierce spinning kick at the pale-faced man.

The pale-faced man felt even more terrified and dodged again.

Luo Ziling was too fast. The man couldn't retaliate in time and could only retreat by dodging.

Still, Luo Ziling did not let up. His body spun like a top, unleashing a series of rapid spinning kicks at the pale-faced man.

As the pale-faced man joined the fray, the dark-faced, muscular man who had retreated to watch, sensing that something was amiss, hesitated briefly before joining the battle as well.

Hoping to leverage his long legs and height, he attempted to take advantage of Luo Ziling's continuous assault on his comrade and bring Luo Ziling down.

Luo Ziling's relentless spinning kicks finally struck the pale-faced man.

Amid a muffled grunt, the pale-faced man, already appearing somewhat clumsy from dodging, took a kick to the shoulder and lost his balance, tumbling to the side. However, he was agile and rolled forward, quickly evading to the side.

Although he ultimately deflected most of the force from Luo Ziling's kick, he was still in a sorry state.

He knew that if Luo Ziling seized this opportunity to continue the attack, his situation would become even more troublesome.

Luckily, his dark-faced comrade joined the battle, holding Luo Ziling back.

Luo Ziling had anticipated that the dark-faced brute would rejoin the fight, so he kept on guard against him.

Not only was he wary of the dark-faced brute, but he also kept an eye on Lin Lan, who was standing aside watching, in case she too decided to join in and attack him alongside the other two men.

Of course, after fighting for so long, he was still unclear about what was going on.

His heart seethed with anger, and the intensity of his resentment grew with the acceleration of his attacks.

These people were too much. He had come to help them, and they were treating him in such a way.

He even resented Lin Lan.

That woman actually stood there saying nothing, making no move to break up the fight, just watching him be attacked by two highly skilled adversaries.

Because his heart was ablaze with rage, he also gave it his all, showing no mercy in his strikes.

When the dark-faced burly man stepped forward to reinforce, the pale-faced man finally escaped his predicament. He joined the fray without any hesitation, attacking Luo Ziling alongside the burly man.

Facing the siege of two great experts, Luo Ziling was not afraid in the slightest, and even had an aura of growing more valiant as the battle progressed.

With a loud "bang", after withstanding a heavy punch from the dark-faced burly man, Luo Ziling, enduring the pain, retaliated with a knee-strike that heavily slammed into the other's abdomen. The dark-faced burly man finally couldn't hold on, bent at the waist, and slowly collapsed.

After taking a punch that injured the dark-faced man, Luo Ziling did not hesitate. A side kick firmly blocked the pale-faced man's spinning kick, pressing his leg down forcefully, then without any further hesitation, he stepped on the other's foot, leapt into the air, and delivered a powerful downward chop, striking directly onto the pale-faced man's shoulder.

The pale-faced man let out a low groan, his body heavily falling onto the grass.

Having knocked down both opponents, Luo Ziling also couldn't hold on any longer, stumbled, and fell onto the grass.

He had just taken a heavy punch from the dark-faced man, and the injured area was unbearably painful. The subsequent head-on collision of legs with the pale-faced man was also excruciating. However, he didn't have the luxury to mind these while the strong enemy had not been taken down.

After fiercely kicking the pale-faced man down, he was nearly exhausted and lay on the ground, taking several deep breaths of fresh air before quickly getting up with a kip-up. His vigilance still not diminished, he quickly retreated two steps, stopping only when he was about ten meters away from the two men struggling to get up.

Once the two men got up, they did not attack Luo Ziling again but instead walked towards Lin Lan.

"Not bad," said the pale-faced man to Lin Lan, then turned to Luo Ziling and gave him a thumbs up, "In Dragon Rise, there are only a few with your level of skill."

"Where did this guy come from? How can he have such impressive skills?" the dark-faced man asked Lin Lan with a dour face, "It's unbelievable that the two of us together couldn't defeat him."

"I didn't expect it either," Lin Lan replied indifferently, then walked towards Luo Ziling.

"They just wanted to test your skills," Lin Lan said, looking at Luo Ziling with a detached gaze, "Unexpectedly, even together they couldn't beat you."

"I thought they wanted to take my life," Luo Ziling finally came back to his senses and chuckled bitterly, "If they wanted to exchange pointers, why didn't they give me a heads-up first? It scared me half to death."

These people were too much, challenging him in such a manner. He was a bit angry. If not for the fact that Lin Lan was a woman, and quite a pretty one at that, he might have lost his temper.

Lin Lan did not answer but just looked at the two men walking towards them.

The pale-faced man extended his hand to Luo Ziling and smiled, "Defeating both of us, I really admire you!"

Luo Ziling somewhat reluctantly extended his hand, "I thought you were trying to kill me, so I fought for my life."

The pale-faced man did not say anything more. After a firm handshake, he let go of his hand and gave Luo Ziling's shoulder a hearty pat as he did so.

The dark-faced man also extended his hand to Luo Ziling. Luo Ziling put out his hand, slapped it hard, and then let go. Neither of them said anything.

"Are you willing to join us, Dragon Rise?" asked the pale-faced man.

"Dragon Rise? What is that?" Luo Ziling asked with a puzzled look: "Could it be..."

"Yes, that's the name of our team," the pale-faced man smiled faintly, then immediately became serious again, "We really hope someone with your skills will join our team."

Luo Ziling was taken aback for a moment, his eyes turning to Lin Lan, hoping she would explain further.

Lin Lan simply gave him a silent glance, then shifted her gaze away, saying nothing.
