Chapter 139 One Force Overcomes Ten Techniques

Many people in the stands were also taken aback by what they saw.

"How could the martial arts officer be defeated so quickly?"

"Yes, they couldn't even last three moves. It seems there's a huge gap in their strength."

"Wow, Officer Lin is that strong? Judging from his stance, he clearly possesses the combat power of a True Qi Perfection cultivator."

"Wasn't it said that Chief Lin only recently entered the True Qi Realm?"

"They must be hiding their strength, which is normal. In the current chaotic situation, most of us in the Soul Suppression Division will not fully reveal our strength."

.. *

Among the crowd, many passersby were discussing the matter amongst themselves.

"Wow, Lin Qing is so amazing! Who said he was only at the early stage of the True Qi Realm? I think he's already reached the peak of the True Qi Realm," Ma Ziye said with a smile.

"I told you long ago, Brother Lin's strength is unfathomable," Wei Dong chimed in.

"From this perspective, Lin Qing might actually have a chance to defeat Lei Chatou. True Yuan Realm warriors are indeed much stronger than True Gang Realm warriors, but it's not absolute. In the history of the prefecture city, there have been people who defeated True Yuan Realm warriors with True Gang Realm cultivation, and without exception, they all became legends of the prefecture city. Some even went to the Soul Suppression Division of Shu Prefecture and shone brightly," Li Ping pondered.

"I also believe that Brother Lin Qing can win. He is already a legendary figure in the city, and he may not be inferior to those legendary masters before him," Lin Shurou said with a smile.

Before long, the fifteen-minute break was over, and Qiu Changming's loud shouts came from afar again.

"The third match: Lin Qing versus Lei Tong, both take the stage!"

Whizzing!

The two used their lightness skills to leap onto the high platform almost simultaneously.

Lin Qing took the lead and cupped his hands, saying, "Officer Lei, please forgive me later."

He had heard of this man's deeds; he was a highly respected constable in the Soul Suppression Division, and it was said that he was also of good character and deeply respected by many constables.

"You are a force to be reckoned with. At your age, I didn't even have a tenth of your fighting strength. However, you haven't yet entered the True Essence Realm, so you don't understand the vast difference between True Qi and True Essence. I won't lose this match! But don't be discouraged. You are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future." Lei Tong said with a hint of envy in his eyes. He was a late bloomer among martial artists, and his success today was not due to his talent, but rather to his almost insane hard work.

"Even if Lei Cha Tou makes a move, I'm in a good mood. If I lose, I'll just consider it a learning experience," Lin Qing said calmly.

"Not bad. At your age, you are neither arrogant nor impatient. With such a temperament, it's no wonder you have gained Steward Wang's approval." Lei Tong nodded slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"The duel begins!!"

At this moment, Qiu Changming shouted, interrupting their conversation. Lei Tong took the lead, his body surrounded by light blue true energy that quickly spread out, covering an area of ​​thirty steps around him.

"Lin Qing, only if you can withstand my Thunderous Qi Domain can the battle continue," Lei Tong said in a deep voice.

"Brother Lei, then I'll have a good lesson!" Lin Qing laughed, his body enveloped in Tathagata Qi, and his skin instantly glowed with a faint golden light.

However, the protective aura can only protect the body and cannot leave the body; at most, it can spread to the weapon.

His figure flashed, stepping on the shadow of a lone goose, and in an instant he rushed out more than a hundred steps, crashing headfirst into the Thunderous Qi Domain.

Lin Qing immediately felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if countless electric currents were running through him. Even with the protection of Tathagata's protective aura, he could not be completely immune to the invasion of the Thunderous Aura.

"In terms of the destructive power of the aura domain alone, Ao Xiong's Lava Aura Domain is no match for the Thunder Aura Domain. However, the Lava Aura Domain has a stronger binding ability."

A look of surprise flashed in Lei Tong's eyes, who was at the center of the Qi Domain. He thought that Lin Qing would lose all his fighting power the moment he stepped into the Qi Domain, just like Wu Xun before him, but he did not expect that Lin Qing would only frown and not react any further.

"Lin Qing is indeed more powerful than Wu Xun!" Lei Tong quickly suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and he suddenly stepped forward, striking out with a palm towards Lin Qing.

True energy condensed in his palm, forming a ball of energy, or perhaps it was formed from gathered lightning, with wisps of electric light flowing around it, occasionally emitting a crackling sound.

Lin Qing also raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike. The two palms met, and the lightning ball in Lei Tong's palm suddenly exploded, transforming into countless "lightning snakes" that flowed and attacked, sweeping over Lin Qing's body. Lin Qing felt as if blades were slicing across his body, causing him unbearable pain.

However, Lei Tong's situation was even worse. He was sent flying backward, taking more than thirty steps, and was already standing on the edge of the arena.

His face showed horror, because his right arm had completely lost sensation. The physical strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all. He was completely unable to resist, and his arm bones could not withstand the impact of that huge force.

Before he could regain his footing, Lin Qing rushed in front of him again and threw another punch.

Unable to dodge in time, Lei Tong let out a low shout, and his spreading true energy suddenly returned to his body, forming a shield of energy.

Lin Qing slammed his fist into the air shield with a force of hundreds of thousands of pounds, causing the air shield to twist and collapse instantly. Then, with the remaining force, he slammed his fist heavily into Lei Tong's crossed arms.

Lei Tong was immediately blasted away, landing on the open ground in front of the arena, flying more than fifty steps.

In an instant, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone expected it to be a one-sided battle, and it was indeed one-sided, but the one who was crushed was Lei Tong, which was unexpected by 99% of the audience.

"What?! Lei Cha Tou lost? How could this happen? What on earth happened?"

"Lei Chatou was completely overwhelmed in the fistfight. Logically speaking, the impact of true qi is extremely fierce, far beyond what a True Qi Realm martial artist can withstand. But why can't everyone feel the power of true qi at all when it comes to Lei Chatou?"

"Perhaps, Officer Lin is also a True Qi Realm martial artist!"

"This—impossible! A True Qi Realm expert at less than twenty years old! He's a top-tier genius even in the entire Shu Province!"

"How is that impossible? I think Officer Lin is a genius beyond compare!"

Everyone was discussing it endlessly, all astonished by the outcome of the battle.

On the viewing platform, many of the stewards and officials also looked thoughtful.

"Lin Qing is not at the True Qi Realm, so how could he win so easily? Could it be that his physical strength far surpasses Lei Tong's?" Zhu Mingtong wondered.

"That must be it. I heard that Lin Qing has practiced many low-level cultivation methods before. Each method will improve his physical strength. If he can master more than thirty of them, then even if he is in the True Qi Realm, his physical strength will be stronger than that of an ordinary early True Essence martial artist," Qiu Changming said in a deep voice.

"But he's only twenty years old, how could he have mastered more than thirty training methods to perfection?" Zhu Mingtong wondered.

"Please stop discussing this, everyone. Everyone has secrets. Steward Qiu, it's time to announce the results," Wang Ling interrupted the conversation.

"Okay, okay," Qiu Changming replied, clearing his throat and speaking loudly.

"Lin Qing! From this day forward, you shall be the Chief of the Underworld Bureau!"

Lin Qing leaped down from the platform and bowed slightly to Lei Tong: "Sorry to offend you, Officer Lei, how is your arm injury?"

Lei Tong stood up, his arms were bluish-black, the bones inside were broken, and he was in excruciating pain.
