'Impossible!'
The first thing that everyone thought when they saw Lin Han taking steps in mid-air to fly was that it was impossible.
They quickly noticed two True Element forces beneath his feet supporting his flight.
'It's a martial art!'
'It's at least a top-grade martial art!'
It was natural for the geniuses from different forces to have good judgment, so they immediately identified the source.
However, they were utterly shocked.
Even the Five Great Heavenly Prides were moved.
'Lin Han actually cultivated such an unbelievable body martial art.'
'He's already gliding in the air before being in Grandmaster Boundary?'
"Soaring Flight is a top-grade martial art from Lin Clan Sect Residence. It was once performed by an elder from the sect, but he could only glide for fifteen minutes in the air even after tens of years, yet you're flying for such a long time. Lin Han, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Su He stood up all of a sudden with a strong fighting will. "You've definitely comprehended this top-grade martial art to Super Pinnacle state!"
Upon hearing him, the crowd went from being shocked to being horrified.
It was said that top-grade martial arts had an apprehension state called the Super Pinnacle state, but many people thought that it was just a legend.
Seeing Lin Han flying in the air on the practice stage, countless Broken Sky City disciples were in disbelief.
They had witnessed a myth materialize in front of them. It was a legendary moment and it was from a rising star.
At the spur of the moment, many of them looked at Lin Han fervently.
He might change the structure of Broken Sky City's Five Heavenly Prides this year by being the Sixth Heavenly Pride!
A dark horse indeed!
At that moment, a hint of seriousness could even be seen on Luo Qingcheng's charming face.
If she previously had only admiration for Lin Han during their encounter in Broken Sky Forest, she was beginning to value him now, so much so that she had half a mind to rope him into the Governor's Residence.
In fact, any of the great forces would cherish a young Heavenly Pride like him and would pursue him like a flock of ducks.
"I've lost."
Luo Hongjun smiled bitterly when he saw Lin Han flying in mid-air, and he cupped his hands at him.
He was completely defeated by Lin Han in terms of body technique and was sincerely convinced that he deserved the loss.
In a flash, when everyone else looked at Lin Han again, they could not spot any weakness he had.
He was like a flawless, versatile genius in martial art.
This was what made him fearsome.
A Warrior who was powerful in one aspect was not terrifying, instead, an all-rounder was much more threatening.
Lin Han had clearly been recognized as the latter.
Many geniuses began regarding him as being equally matched with the five old Heavenly Prides.
Once again, Lin Han lifted the atmosphere at the Martial Arts Exchange to a greater height.
On the contrary, Lin Gutian was extremely gloomy.
He was the leader of Lin Clan Sect Residence, but Lin Han was the one getting the spotlight, thus he was very frustrated.
Therefore, he stood up while gritting his teeth, then shot a look at someone from the Su family. "Su He, I want to challenge you!"
Finally, Lin Gutian made a move as he could not stand it any longer.
He could not let Lin Han be in the limelight forever.
The moment Lin Gutian stood up, he received a lot of attention since he was a Heavenly Pride himself.
It made him feel good.
On the other hand, Lin Han simply returned to his seat and conversed with Lin Ruyan happily.
When Lin Gutian turned to look, he noticed Lin Ruyan being so focused on Lin Han that she did not even look at him when he asked to challenge Su He.
The difference in the treatment they received made him furious, as though a fire was burning his body.
"I'll challenge you. Brother Su He can't be challenged by just anyone!"
A Su family disciple at the peak of sixth tier martial art suddenly stood up, then sneered at Lin Gutian.
"Vigorous Dragon-Elephant Leg!"
The Su family disciple was extremely powerful and was considered just below the Heavenly Pride Level. His legs were like iron whips when he kicked. The air cracked as he swung his legs.
"You're not worthy!"
Lin Gutian scowled, then swung his hand at him. An enormous force instantly gathered in the air, forming a giant invisible hand that slapped the Su family disciple away.
'He sent a Warrior at the peak of sixth tier martial art flying away with one slap?'
The spectators were moved.
As expected, the combat power of a Heavenly Pride Level figure in Broken Sky City was frightening, and could not be defied by normal people.
At the seating area for the Lin Clan disciples, Lin Han's face was grave after he witnessed the might of a casual hit from Lin Gutian.
'Lin Gutian's very powerful indeed, he has a well-deserved reputation.
'Based on his aura earlier, he's half a step from the Grandmaster Boundary.'
Lin Han secretly made a comparison and realized that Lin Gutian was probably above the white-eyebrowed old man who pressured him at the Martial Arts Tea Party.
As such, he no longer underestimated Lin Gutian. He began comprehending the hundreds of martial arts that were imprinted in his mind through the Golden Spirit Fire. He did not want to waste time.
Nonetheless, while Lin Han was wary of Lin Gutian's formidable combat power, he was not fearful of it.
Compared to how he was at the Martial Arts Tea Party, he knew that he had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Whether it was the top-grade martial arts that he cultivated, or the increase in power of Killing Eye, his Spirit Master trick, they all boosted his confidence.
He was confident about battling the Five Great Heavenly Prides of Broken Sky City.
Nevertheless, he remained straight-faced as he observed the movements in the arena quietly, because he wanted to take a better look at Lin Gutian and Su He's tricks.
With the Spirit Master Heavenly Eye, Lin Han could understand information that could not be understood by ordinary people.
Those pieces of information usually helped him to win.
On the practice stage.
Lin Gutian was expressionless after defeating the strong Su family disciple. He stared at the young man in a sackcloth shirt who had been watching the battle from his seat.
"Alright, I accept your challenge," Su He mentioned.
He stood up, then took steady steps up the practice stage.
Tap, tap, tap…
His footsteps seemed to have peculiar magic that caused Lin Gutian to break out in a cold sweat.
'It's this feeling again!'
Lin Gutian's eyes were filled with endless fear when he looked at the young man who was approaching him.
Off the stage, Lin Han was stunned.
He noticed that Su He's footsteps seemed to be gathering a sense of inexplicable momentum.
A violent, invisible force began condensing around his body, which slowly oppressed Lin Gutian's body and his mind.
"He's building Ascendance! It's a type of power that controls the environment!"
Lin Han's eyes instantly glowed as he recalled a record from an ancient book upon seeing Su He's performance.
According to the record, a Warrior who reached a certain level could exert pressure toward his or her opponent just through speech and action.
The pressure could be put on one's body or mind.
It had a similar function to Lin Han's Killing Eye, but was done via a different approach.
That being said, the oppression from that momentum was only limited to one's body and mind, and it could not get to one's soul.
Despite that, it was enough to shock Lin Han.
'At such a young age, and only being half a step from Grandmaster Boundary, Su He already knows how to build Ascendance?'
Based on what was recorded in ancient books, even a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of ninth tier martial art could not control the power of Heaven and Earth for personal usage.
Lin Han secretly raised his guard against Su He, the Greatest Heavenly Pride.
The young man in an outfit made of sackcloth seemed ordinary, but he definitely possessed a big secret that was unknown to all.
For all that, Lin Han was also quite delighted.
Through the Golden Spirit Fire in his head, he could secretly derive Su He's movements, bearing, and even his breathing rhythm, thus he began comprehending them.
Lin Han was excited because he might be able to "learn" an extraordinary martial art.
