Top-Tier Superpower Student

Young Master Chu absolutely hated Lin Tian to the extreme, but now, in front of everyone, he could only pretend as if nothing had happened. The feeling of being unable to vent his anger was really indescribable.

After leaving with his men, Lin Tian followed a servant out as well. Everyone's eyes were on Lin Tian's back, buzzing with discussion, all of them casting admiring glances at him.

At a turning corner, Young Master Chu stared at Lin Tian, clenched his fists, and said to his subordinates, the assassins, "Keep a close watch on him. Once he leaves Wolong Bay, take him out directly."

"Yes."

The crowd nodded in unison, and several people slowly followed.

..., ...

As the number of people around them gradually decreased, the somewhat perplexed servant asked Lin Tian, "My lord, didn't you just hit Young Master Chu? Why was he talking to you just now? Has the feud between you two been resolved?"

Obviously, the servant didn't understand the trickery involved.

Lin Tian saw no need to explain too much and shamelessly said, "Oh, I don't really know why Young Master Chu would help me. There's only one possibility I can think of!"

"What possibility?" the servant asked excitedly.

"Maybe it's because I'm too handsome? My handsomeness deeply impressed Young Master Chu!"

Upon hearing this, the servant had a face full of black lines, looking at Lin Tian helplessly, as if to say: My lord, can't we be more serious when we speak?

Lin Tian said, "The Holy Shield is unbreakable. Come on, take me to see the Holy Shield!"

The servant led the way, and they quickly arrived at a certain area. The place was sparsely populated, with only about a dozen people present. In the center of the space, the legendary Holy Shield was on display.

The Holy Shield stood in the very center, ancient patterns carved upon it, accompanied by the engraving of a black dragon. The dragon soared above the nine heavens, exuding a sense of ferocity.

The entire shield was about one meter wide, two meters long, and one finger thick. At first glance, it seemed no different from the riot shields used by the military, but upon closer inspection, one could sense something extraordinary about it.

This shield had a mysterious, ancient feel to it.

Lin Tian looked at the Holy Shield with secret admiration, growing increasingly interested. This shield was extremely sturdy, far surpassing ordinary shields, and from the material itself, it seemed not to have been crafted by modern technology.

As he was engrossed in his observation, the servant explained to him,

"The Holy Shield was discovered by our Gang Leader. It is said to be forged from a meteorite from beyond, then smelted with tens of tons of steel. It's incredibly tough; hardly any divine weapon can breach its defense!"

"Therefore, our Gang Leader has decreed that whoever can break the Holy Shield will be immediately rewarded with ten thousand yuan in cash. If you wish to join the Qinglong Gang, you can obtain the position of an Elder. However, if you fail to break the Holy Shield, you must pay ten million yuan as compensation for wear and tear."

Lin Tian was indifferent to the billion, the ten million, and the position of an Elder. He truly wanted to test whether the Godslayer Sword could break through the Holy Shield.

Which was more formidable, the meteorite from beyond or the technology of Huaxia after three thousand years?

Lin Tian said, "I want to give it a try!"

The servant was a bit surprised but then composed himself and pointed at a red button not far away, saying, "There is a button over there. If you've decided, sir, then press it."

"Alright!"

Lin Tian nodded and walked towards the button.

Just as he was about to press it, he felt a wave of disgust.

The button was covered with a thick layer of dust, which was quite unpleasant to look at.

"How many years has it been since this button was pressed to get so dirty?" he said.

The attentive servant quickly stepped forward, took out a cloth, and, while carefully wiping the button, said, "This Holy Shield is just too sturdy. At first, there were people who would try, but they all ended in failure. Over time, no one was willing to try anymore—a loss of ten million for a single attempt!"

After the servant had finished cleaning the button.

Lin Tian pressed it.

Suddenly, an exciting voice resounded, spreading throughout Wolong Bay. Instantly, the people became excited.

"Who is it? Who wants to break the Holy Shield?"

"Wow, there's a good show today! As far as I know, it's been a year since anyone dared to challenge the Holy Shield!"

"Let's go, let's rush to see the action!"

..., ...

The crowd flocked toward Lin Tian's direction. The bustling Wanlong Pavilion suddenly became deserted, while the usually quiet area around the Holy Shield became lively.

The crowd recognized Lin Tian; wasn't he the same person who had just outraced a prized horse on a small donkey?

"This kid is really a thorn in the side, stirring up trouble just after ticking off Wang Shao, and now he's here to challenge the Holy Shield."

"This kid must have some skills; otherwise, would he dare to challenge the Holy Shield?"

"I'm not so sure. Maybe this kid is just looking to cause trouble. Yes, he has some abilities, but those who dared to challenge the Holy Shield before had their skills too, yet in the end, they all failed. I think this kid is doomed!"

"I'm actually rooting for this kid. I support him!"

..., ...

The crowd's discussions were a mix of praise and criticism.

Gradually, a figure emerged—the very person was none other than Young Master Chu.

With someone attempting to break the Holy Shield and his father absent, as the person in charge of Wolong Bay, of course, he had to come and watch. However, what he didn't expect was to encounter the same youngster again.

At this moment, he truly wished he could kill Lin Tian, but under the watchful eyes of the public, he could not act rashly. He had to behave as if nothing were amiss, saying, "You want to break the Holy Shield."

"That's right!"

Lin Tian replied.

Young Master Chu said, "Breaking the Holy Shield earns a reward of a billion. If you're willing to join the Qinglong Gang, you can become an Elder. If you fail, you will pay ten million for the damage."

"I understand."

"Then, begin!"

Subsequently, Lin Tian gathered his strength and circled around the Holy Shield three times, observing carefully and looking for a weak point to strike.

However, after searching for a long time, he discovered that the Holy Shield had no weaknesses whatsoever.

However, after careful observation, he did notice a few scratches on it. If he wasn't mistaken, these were probably left by other powerful beings when they struck at the Holy Shield.

These scratches were shallow white marks on the Holy Shield, which suggested that breaking through this shield would be no easy task!

Lin Tian looked closely, observing in detail, while Young Master Chu became anxious by his side.

"Hey, kid, are you going to break it or not? A whole bunch of us are waiting here. Does it really take that long just for one try?"

"Exactly, hurry up and break it. It's a one-hit deal."

"If you break it, you're a hero; if you don't, you're a coward. Hurry up!"

"Hurry up, I'm still in the middle of eating here, and the food is going to get cold."

...,....

The crowd jeered, urging Lin Tian on.

"Ignorant fools!"

Lin Tian muttered under his breath before taking out the Godslayer Sword from the Taotie System.

Unsheathe the sword!

The moment the Godslayer Sword was drawn, a white Sword Qi shot up into the sky, slicing a chandelier on the ceiling to smithereens!

The brilliant edge of the Godslayer Sword sent chills down everyone's spine, making them feel cold inside and their scalps tingle!

"So powerful, so sharp!"

The crowd exclaimed in awe.

The instant it was unsheathed, without using any superpower or True Yuan, it could form Sword Qi strong enough to slice through a chandelier several meters high. How sharp must this sword be?

The thought alone was terrifying to the crowd.

Unconsciously, they held Lin Tian in even higher esteem.

The moment the Godslayer Sword was unsheathed, everyone gasped in surprise, and Young Master Chu was even more astonished; however, his eyes immediately filled with greed.

He had already made up his mind that as soon as Lin Tian left Wolong Bay, he would kill him. In his eyes, Lin Tian was already a dead man, not long for this world.

What delighted him was that Lin Tian possessed such a treasured sword. He saw the sword as his own, and the idea of killing for the weapon seemed too good to be true.

Thereafter, Lin Tian stood in front of the Holy Shield, holding the Godslayer Sword, his energy sinking down to his Dantian.

He secretly gathered his strength, and at this moment, the Ability Source worked fiercely, bringing together the whole of the ten thousand pounds of Divine Power into a single sword strike.

Ten thousand pounds of Divine Power, coupled with the edge of the Godslayer Sword, would it be possible to break through the Holy Shield?

Everything was uncertain; although the power was immense and the Godslayer Sword was incredibly sharp, the Holy Shield was made by smelting a Meteorite from Beyond.

All would be revealed at the moment Lin Tian swung his sword.

Lin Tian held the sword high, his arm muscles bulging like coiled dragons.

The over three hundred people present all widened their eyes and held their breath, staring intently at the Godslayer Sword in Lin Tian's hand.

Not a single person spoke; you could hear a pin drop.

It seemed as if everyone was waiting for Lin Tian's earth-shattering strike.

"Huh!"

Lin Tian took a deep breath, his arms suddenly tensing up like they were made of stone.

With the strength of ten thousand pounds and the sharpness of the Godslayer Sword, he swung his sword down.

This strike was lightning fast, cleaving through the air with the force of a thunderbolt.

This strike contained all of Lin Tian's strength.

He didn't hold anything back.

One strike would decide everything.

Bang!

A thunderous noise erupted as the Godslayer Sword viciously struck the Holy Shield.

The immense force surged directly into Lin Tian's arms, causing them to go numb immediately. If not for his sturdy frame, that single strike could have shattered both of his arms.

However, looking towards the Holy Shield, it only trembled continuously without breaking, and it seemed, without even a crack.

"How is this possible?"

Lin Tian could hardly believe it. He thought that even if the Holy Shield didn't break, at least he could have made some cracks appear. After all, he used the Godslayer Sword, and his strength was a full ten thousand pounds.

But the outcome was beyond his expectation. The Holy Shield was completely unscathed, only trembling continuously.

Was the Holy Shield really that strong? It seemed to defy the heavens.

"Hahaha..."

Young Master Chu burst into loud laughter, a mocking, insulting guffaw.

"Fail to break the Holy Shield, pay up—ten million!"

"Quick, pay up, it's another incompetent one."

"Ah, I got my hopes up for nothing, came here for nothing."

"Ah, showing off with that little skill and daring to challenge the Holy Shield, I'm embarrassed for you."

"Wasting my mealtime, damn, really bad luck!"

...,....

The crowd ridiculed Lin Tian, completely disappointed in him.

But just at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
