As the two passed each other, Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Despite the pain in his body, he tried to comfort Yang Cheng.

"Friend, you can't beat him, there's no need to risk your life to save me."

Lu Xin smiled at this, offering no further explanation, and instead brought up another matter.

"I saved you today for no other reason than because it's a pity. You have great talent in external martial arts and are a skilled fighter. It would be a shame to die on the stage."

"I don't need you to repay me in any way. Just remember to kill a few more invaders for me if war breaks out in the future."

Yang Cheng was taken aback. When he came to his senses again, Lü Xin had already stepped onto the stage. Looking at his opponent's back, he was momentarily lost in thought.

The crowd below watched as Lü Xin stepped onto the arena, whispering among themselves with worry.

"Sigh, we couldn't even beat that strong kid. How can this guy be so weak? He looks so skinny, while that foreigner is as strong as an ox. They're not even in the same league."

"That's right, isn't going up there just a waste of his life? So young, to die for nothing. I don't know what the county magistrate was thinking, letting this guy go up and fight. If he loses, he'll lose face big time."

"Hmph, what do you know? Do you really think that whoever is bigger can win? Didn't you see that even the county magistrate treats him with great respect? In my opinion, this is definitely the best chance to defeat the foreigners."

Regardless of what the onlookers below thought, at this moment, Lü Xin was already standing on the arena, facing Anleni.

This feeling is a bit strange. Usually, sparring and fighting are done in private, with no one watching.

This was the first time he had fought to the death with other people in a crowded venue, and he was representing the mainland.

But it must be said that the feeling of being the center of attention is indeed very good.

Anleni cracked his neck, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "I can tell you're strong, at least stronger than that guy from before, so I think tearing you apart would be more fun."

The translator below hesitated for a moment, but ultimately translated the words completely.

Lu Xin didn't say anything about this, he just smiled and then walked straight towards Anleni without making any move.

Upon seeing this, Anleni laughed heartily, understanding the other party's meaning. An excited expression appeared on his face. He stretched his body and then walked over as well.

The arena wasn't very big, so in just a few steps, the two were already facing each other, with less than half a meter between them—a dangerous distance for experts like them.

It's late autumn, and a cool autumn breeze is blowing, making people feel refreshed.

The two stood facing each other. Anleni took a deep breath, and his already thick arm grew even thicker. He slammed it down directly at Lü Xin with a sinister smile.

"Kid, I'm going to smash your head in today..." (in English)

Just as the arm was about to strike, Lü Xin moved. He slightly bent his body and suddenly turned into a blur, retreating backward and easily dodging the attack.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed off with his feet, twisted his waist and abdomen, and leaped into the air. The Ruyi Force burst forth from inside his right leg, making it even more powerful. Like an iron whip, it swept out across the air, and a powerful side kick accurately struck Anleni's head.

Both sides had an agreement not to use any kind of magic or rely on their physical bodies to fight, but the secret method to enhance physical strength was not within the scope of the restriction.

With his powerful control over Qi, Lü Xin can make Ruyi Jin surge within his body, transforming it into power to enhance speed and strength at crucial moments.

With a cultivation level approaching that of a martial arts master, coupled with the amplification of the Ruyi Jin within his body, it can be said that even if a true martial arts master came, he wouldn't be unable to put up a fight. This is the true source of Lü Xin's confidence.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the opponent only had time to let out a muffled groan before being lifted off the ground by the immense force, his entire body flying backward, his words abruptly cut off.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud thud, Anleni slammed heavily onto the ring, his head spinning, a hint of pain on his face, and he felt his vision blurring.

They started fighting, so why did they have to talk so much?

After casually making a comment, Lü Xin observed carefully and realized that although the attack had a noticeable effect, it was not fatal.

So, this guy's weakness shouldn't be his head. It seems the alchemist who refined his body was a master.

To the average person, only two seconds had passed; in the blink of an eye, Lu Xin delivered a side kick that sent the foreigner flying.

Immediately, the entire audience erupted in excitement, and cheers erupted instantly.

"That kick was so cool! I'm impressed, truly impressed. I apologize for my previous doubts; this guy is the real master!"

"Well done! This truly enhances our national prestige; it's so satisfying!"

"Damn it, he got kicked away! I'd like to see if this foreigner still dares to be so arrogant!"

At this moment, the emotions that had been pent up for so long were completely released.

You should know that the people of Taiping City have been in a very humiliating situation these past few days. They are powerless against the arrogant foreigners who are running rampant all day long, and can only let them humiliate them.

Li Tianming, who was watching from the side, clenched his hands instantly and secretly admired him.

Lu Xin didn't pay much attention to any of this, but simply looked at Anleni, who had stood up, and waved.

"Come here."

Looking at the nonchalant young man before him, a surge of extreme anger erupted within him. Anleni roared and stomped his foot, using the powerful force to charge straight towards Lü Xin.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Faced with such an attack, Lü Xin did not choose to dodge. Instead, he rushed forward and threw a punch.

The Ruyi energy flowed throughout his body, bringing bursts of explosive power.

In an instant, their fists collided violently.

"Bang!!"

A loud bang reverberated, sending waves of sound that traveled outwards.

Anleni instantly felt a sharp pain in his fist, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

How is that possible?!

But what shocked him even more was what followed. After such a collision, Lü Xin's figure did not stop at all. It seemed that he had another source of power and his speed increased dramatically, bringing him right in front of Anleni.

Then he raised his right hand, joined two fingers together, and suddenly struck the other person's eyes.

"Sizzle!!!"

In an instant, blood gushed out. Anleni clutched his right eye in agony, trembling all over, arching his back, and wailing incessantly.

Lu Xin did not give him a chance. He reached out, grabbed his head, and lifted him up.

"Sorry, my stats are better than yours. Also, I've found your weakness."

The moment he finished speaking, Lü Xin's other hand transformed into a short fist, and he punched Anleni a finger's width above his lower dantian.

With just one blow, Anleni seemed to have suffered a severe injury, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body, which had been as taut as steel, softened in an instant.
