Chapter 1997: Chapter 1996: Half-Step Earth Realm Martial Artist Challenges Earth Realm!

At the moment, Li Huang, Daoist No-Conflict, and the Snow Girl, all had a glimmer in their eyes.

It was evident that, at this moment, they, like Lin Dong and the Buddhism Evil Heavenly Song, also felt a heroic aura that they were destined to reach the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

”Heh, who wouldn’t brag? Claiming to be a future Heavenly Realm Martial Artist as just a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist is truly laughable.”

General Ying’s voice rang out again, laced with a strong tone of disdain.

Lin Dong listened to his words, his gaze calm as water, looking back at him.

”Dong Lin, you, a mere Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, simply cannot comprehend how powerful Earth Realm martial artists are. And how difficult each stage of improvement is. Let alone understanding how hard it is to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist,” General Ying said coldly.

Lin Dong laughingly said, ”It seems you’ll never break through to become a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist. A person who doesn’t believe in himself will surely not succeed.”

General Ying sneered, ”Dong Lin, don’t speak such big words. Even though your Martial Way potential and gifts are indeed good, so what? Your current strength is weak!”

”Right now, even a martial artist who has just entered the Earth Realm can easily crush you!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong said solemnly, ”Is that so? Then how about you suppress your realm to a First Stage Grandmaster, and we have a contest?”

A commotion erupted!

Hearing this sentence, General Ying was momentarily stunned, and others were in an uproar.

After a brief stupor, General Ying was overjoyed, ”Are you serious?”

”You want to compete with me?”

Lin Dong nodded and said, ”I’ll use the strength of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist to fight you when your realm is suppressed to a First Stage Grandmaster.”

”Is this for real?” General Ying shouted, ”Fists and feet have no eyes. If I accidentally harm you, can others not intervene?”

”Of course,” said Lin Dong.

Hearing this, the smile on General Ying’s face grew wider, and afterward, he glanced at Snow Girl, Buddhism Evil Heavenly Song, and Li Huang.

Then he said with a laugh, ”Did you all hear that? He himself actively asked to fight me?”

”This time, you can’t stop me, right?”

Others’ expressions all changed, and they all looked towards Lin Dong.

Snow Girl even spoke up, ”Mr. Dong Lin, you’d better think carefully before deciding whether to have this battle. A Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist challenging a real Earth Realm martial artist, I’ve never heard of anyone succeeding!”

”Even Master Lin back then seemed never to have accomplished such a feat.”

Blood Spirit hurriedly said, ”Dong Lin, take back what you just said. This joke is not funny at all.”

Audrey also said, ”Brother Dong Lin, Earth Realm martial artists and Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists are like heaven and earth, simply insurmountable.”

”You absolutely can’t truly challenge the strength of an Earth Realm martial artist with a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist. That would surely end in defeat.”

General Ying, worried that Lin Dong might go back on his word, quickly said, ”Dong Lin, when doing things, one should be true to one’s words!”

”Once spoken, how can words be taken back?”

”General Ying, you lost earlier but didn’t willingly accept defeat either. Do you have the nerve to say this?” Audrey said.

General Ying glared at Audrey but did not pay her much more attention.

Instead, he continued to look at Lin Dong, saying, ”Dong Lin, at the very least, I won’t use the Giant Shadow Golden Body. Is that okay?”

The biggest difference between an Earth Realm martial artist and a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist is that the former can use the Giant Shadow Golden Body, whereas the latter can only use the Giant Shadow Clone.

Though they differ by just one word, their power is worlds apart.

If an Earth Realm martial artist uses the Giant Shadow Golden Body against a Giant Shadow Clone, it is completely a crushing defeat.

Lin Dong, however, laughed and said, ”No need, just suppress your realm to a First Stage Grandmaster, and then you can use any other skills freely.”

”Hahaha...” General Ying couldn’t help but laugh aloud after hearing this, then said to Snow Girl and the others:

”You heard that, right? This is his own request.”

”He’s voluntarily asking to fight; what reason do you have to stop him?”

Seeing this, Snow Girl didn’t object further.

General Ying had long wanted to act against Lin Dong, but Snow Girl had stopped him several times. But this time, Snow Girl had no reason to stop him.

Because this battle, Lin Dong volunteered for it.

”Dong Lin, you’re truly crazy. You actually want to challenge an Earth Realm martial artist with the strength of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist...” Blood Spirit murmured.

At this moment, Audrey and the others still wanted to say something.

But General Ying coldly said, ”You all better shut up.”

He was afraid Lin Dong would change his mind.

Lin Dong naturally would not go back on his word.

His current realm was at the Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist level. The Inner Qi he would employ later would naturally only be at this level.

As he proactively asked to fight, he intended to see if, while wielding Sword Intent, he could, with the strength of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, defeat an Earth Realm martial artist.

Of course, if he were to fight a Third Stage Grandmaster with the strength of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, the chances would be non-existent.

Since the gap is just too vast.

And he had only just comprehended the Wind Sword Intent, so he definitely couldn’t do it.

”Everyone, please step aside.”

At this moment, General Ying, having suppressed his realm to a First Stage Grandmaster, gestured for the others to stand back.

Seeing Lin Dong had made up his mind, the others no longer tried to persuade him, merely shaking their heads and sighing.

Soon, everyone stood to the side, clearing the battlefield.

At this moment, General Ying showed Lin Dong a cruel smile and said faintly:

”Dong Lin, I’ll show you just how large the gap is between an Earth Realm martial artist and a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist.”

”However, this will require a tuition fee! The tuition fee is: one of your legs!”

After saying this, General Ying suddenly struck, using a Grandmaster-level claw technique.

”White Bone Claw!”

This was a formidable and sinister claw technique, derived from the ’Dragon Claw Hand’ of Buddhism, but much more insidious than the Dragon Claw Hand.

The Dragon Claw Hand is primarily a method to subdue enemies.

However, the White Bone Claw aims directly at crippling others.

If it grabs hold, the bones will be crushed into ten thousand pieces.

Buddhism Evil Heavenly Song squinted and said, ”This General Ying wants to take the opportunity to cripple Brother Dong. The White Bone Claw is a Grandmaster-level move. No one below a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist can block it!”

Audrey and Blood Spirit showed signs of being worried, wanting to help Lin Dong.

But at this moment, General Ying shouted, ”What are you trying to do? This is a fair duel between me and Dong Lin, do you want to interfere?”

He then turned to Lin Dong, saying coldly:

”Dong Lin, can you withstand this claw of mine?”

Lin Dong had been keeping his eyes closed all this time, but suddenly at this moment, he opened his eyes.

Immediately, everyone seemed to see a sharpness like a sword bursting out from Lin Dong.

Then they saw Lin Dong slash out a sword.

”Why should I block it?”

”Wind Sword Intent: The Rise of Wind and Cloud!”

With this slash, a white light flew out like a bolt of lightning, striking General Ying’s right hand, which was executing the ’White Bone Claw.’

With a ”puff” sound, General Ying’s right hand was directly severed!

”Ah!” General Ying let out a scream, showing an incredulous expression.

Everyone else was also full of horror!
