Liu Yilin was fighting a martial artist seriously for the first time.
At the beginning, she was a little flustered, after all, she lacked experience. Although she had fought Ning Beichen before, it was mostly Ning Beichen guiding her, and there was no life-and-death pressure in her heart.
But this Wang Yulang was an enemy, and they were not sparring. Once they made a mistake, there would be no second chance.
So, at first, Liu Yilin's fighting style appeared a bit green and lacking confidence.
However, as Liu Yilin became more familiar with the fight, the previous training from Ning Beichen began to show its effect.
On the other hand, Wang Yulang became more and more terrified as the fight progressed.
Who exactly was this woman?
He had already given his all, and still couldn't take her down.
Just then, Wang Yulang's vision suddenly blurred. He didn't know when Liu Yilin had already closed in, her palms striking him in rapid succession, like a storm.
A series of crackling sounds.
Liu Yilin's jade-like palms landed squarely on him. The third level of Yin Xing Jue cultivation gave each of Liu Yilin's strikes the force of a thousand pounds.
Wang Yulang let out a scream and was sent flying backward.
With a crash!
Wang Yulang smashed through the railing behind him and fell into the river.
Liu Yilin took a few deep breaths, looking at the shattered railing and Wang Yulang who had fallen into the river. After a long time, her expression finally returned to calmness.
She wasn't panicked. With Wang Yulang's strength from just now, even falling into the river wouldn't kill him.
But where did this person come from? Why was he targeting her? Liu Yilin was somewhat bewildered.
During Ning Beichen's absence, she had been very low-key and hadn't provoked anyone. So, she couldn't figure out if Wang Yulang was after her or Ning Beichen.
However, since Ning Beichen wasn't here, Liu Yilin couldn't ask him for clarification. Moreover, Ning Beichen's phone number from before was unreachable.
Little did Liu Yilin know that during the time she was trying to call Ning Beichen, he and Linglong were in the no-signal zone of the Sahara Desert.
Since she couldn't figure it out, Liu Yilin stopped thinking about it and quickly left the scene.
After all, the fight had attracted quite a bit of attention, and Liu Yilin didn't want any trouble.
Not long after Liu Yilin left, Wang Yulang was seen swimming up from the river. After reaching the shore, he opened his mouth and vomited several large mouthfuls of blood.
However, he dared not linger and left the place filled with hatred.
A few days later, Wang Yulang appeared before an old man.
"Master, I encountered a woman today..."
Wang Yulang recounted the day's events to the old man.
With a snap.
The old man slapped the armrest and said sternly, "Hmph! How dare she injure my disciple! Do you recognize her?"
"Yes, I investigated. This woman is named Liu Yilin, the CEO of Tianmei Technology Group. But I never expected her martial arts and cultivation to be no less than mine."
Wang Yulang said to his master.
He wasn't afraid of his master's reprimand, because like master, like disciple. And their sect was one that relied on women for cultivation; he was like this, and so was his master.
"To be defeated by a mere woman, you're a disgrace! Take me to capture her."
The old man snorted coldly.
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing that his master would personally intervene, Wang Yulang became excited.
"By the way, Master, this Liu Yilin has considerable cultivation. She couldn't have learned it all by herself. Is there a sect behind her, or is she being taught by a master?"
"No matter who is behind her, since she injured my disciple, this debt must be settled with her."
After the old man finished speaking, an overwhelming aura erupted from him, making Wang Yulang tremble with fear.
"Master, you've already reached the Grandmaster realm?"
Wang Yulang exclaimed excitedly.
"That's right. In this world, anyone who dares to touch you is my enemy!"
The old man declared arrogantly.
"Congratulations, Master, on your promotion to Grandmaster! Master, I'll take you to her now."
Wang Yulang immediately knelt down and shouted.
With a Grandmaster master, he could roam the world as he pleased, and no one would dare to offend him.
Meanwhile, Liu Yilin had no idea that she had inexplicably offended a Grandmaster, bringing about a disaster out of the blue.
Not long after, Wang Yulang and his master appeared at the Tianmei Technology Group building.
"Gentlemen, may I help you?"
The receptionist in the lobby came to greet them.
"We're here to see Liu Yilin."
Wang Yulang said.
"May I ask if you have an appointment with our CEO?"
The receptionist asked warmly.
"No, just tell me which floor Liu Yilin's office is on?"
Wang Yulang said impolitely.
With his master as a Grandmaster, he feared no one in the world.
"I'm sorry, but if you don't have an appointment, I cannot let you see our CEO."
The receptionist blocked their path and said.
"I'm not discussing with you now. Take me to your CEO, or you die!"
Wang Yulang reached out, grabbed the receptionist by the neck, and said fiercely.
The receptionist was a young girl who had never seen such a scene. She was terrified and had no choice but to obediently lead Wang Yulang and his master to Liu Yilin's office via the building's private elevator.
Liu Yilin was working in her office when she suddenly heard a knock. Without looking up, she said, "Come in."
The office door opened, and Wang Yulang and his master swaggered in.
Hearing the unusual footsteps, Liu Yilin looked up and saw Wang Yulang and an old man.
"Wang Yulang, is that you? How dare you show your face here again."
Liu Yilin, ignoring the old man, looked at Wang Yulang and said incredulously.
"Liu Yilin, I've come to settle the score with you today."
With his master backing him, Wang Yulang now appeared fearless.
"Settle the score? You despicable and shameless scoundrel, you have the nerve to say that."
Liu Yilin was truly angered by him. If anyone were to settle a score, it should be her settling with him. She never expected this despicable fellow to have the audacity to come looking for her to settle a score.
"Liu Yilin, don't get cocky. My master is here today, and no one can save you. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently."
Wang Yulang acted like a man who had achieved undeserved success.
Hearing Wang Yulang's words, Liu Yilin finally turned her attention to the old man. However, with her cultivation, she couldn't discern the old man's true strength.
But after her fight with Wang Yulang that day, Liu Yilin had gained some confidence. Now, even facing Wang Yulang's master, Liu Yilin didn't feel much fear.
This was also a characteristic of a seasoned martial artist.
That is – fearlessness in battle!
