Master Lin heard Evan Lin's words, and the moment Evan Lin stepped onto the stage, he felt a wave of scorching heat rush toward him.
At this moment, he stared wide-eyed, coldly watching Evan Lin standing in front of him.
He could see the fire in Evan Lin's eyes, and the hair that shifted from black to red, almost flickering like flames.
Everyone heard the words spoken by the boy stepping onto the stage, and the crowd erupted.
He gritted his teeth, growling in a low voice, clenching his fists. The steady qi beside him grew chaotic as Evan Lin spoke.
"How is there another Master Lin?!"
Gloria Rong stood frozen, staring toward the ring. Her beautiful eyes locked onto the boy on stage—she'd been worried about Evan Lin, but the one up there now didn't seem like the Evan Lin she knew.
But the boy standing on the stage, from a distance, looked almost identical to Evan Lin in build—except his whole appearance burned like fire, totally different from Evan Lin's usual self.
"This is getting interesting. So which Master Lin from Seacrest actually defeated the Pointing-to-Mystery powerhouse?"
Leon Lu craned his neck, looking over excitedly: "Is this turning into a real-life Monkey King double-act?"
Master Lin heard Lin Yi's words, and the moment Lin Yi stepped onto the stage, he felt a wave of scorching heat rush toward him.
At this moment, he stared wide-eyed, coldly watching Lin Yi standing in front of him.
He could see the fire in Lin Yi's eyes, and the hair that shifted from black to red, almost flickering like flames.
"How could you possibly be... Master Lin from Seacrest!"
He gritted his teeth, growling in a low voice, clenching his fists. The steady qi beside him grew chaotic as Lin Yi spoke.
"How is there another Master Lin?!"
His face turned pale, his mind even more scrambled.
Now, with the Fire-Spirit Mortal Body fused into him, Evan Lin's features had grown even sharper and more aggressive—his face more defined, and compared to before, even more striking.
Not only that, but his red hair and those lava-like eyes that could pierce endless darkness made it nearly impossible for anyone to link him to the Evan Lin they knew.
Molly Su's eyes sparkled, while Logan Rowe beside her was silent, just staring at the ring with wide eyes. As for those heirs who'd just been grilling Evan Lin, now they all shrank back, trembling, terrified that their earlier words might have offended the boy on stage.
"But that guy over there claiming to be Master Lin from Seacrest... isn't he way too young?"
Leon Lu looked expectant, not really caring who's real or fake.
Master Lin's face twisted through several expressions, finally forced to take things seriously.
Ray Lei stood there as the high-powered spotlights exploded to life, and the rest of the arena lights flickered on one after another.
He just stood there, staring at the two facing off below, rubbing his eyes hard, face frozen in shock.
"I'm just a little curious—curious who you are, and why you'd steal my name."
Evan Lin spoke lightly, his voice echoing across the ring.
Now, with the Fire-Spirit Mortal Body fused into him, Lin Yi's features had grown even sharper and more aggressive—his face more defined, and compared to before, even more striking.
Master Lin squinted, thoughts racing. He steeled himself, stepped forward, and sneered: "I don't care who you are, but since you're here to avenge my disciple, don't blame me for making you leave your life behind!"
Molly Su's eyes sparkled, while Logan Rowe beside her was silent, just staring at the ring with wide eyes. As for those heirs who'd just been grilling Lin Yi, now they all shrank back, trembling, terrified that their earlier words might have offended the boy on stage.
If it really comes time to settle accounts, they're scared for their lives.
"What do you want?!"
Evan Lin let out a scornful laugh, lips curling in contempt: "A coward who doesn't even dare reveal his real name."
He never expected to run into the real Master Lin from Seacrest here.
The fierce, domineering qi erupted, and the base of the ring beneath their feet turned to drifting layers of pale dust.
Master Lin closed in, his face grim, eyes cruel, throwing a punch straight at Evan Lin's face.
One move set everything in motion.
"I'm the real Master Lin from Seacrest, so how am I stealing your name?!"
Evan Lin reached out with one hand, left foot sliding half a step back, arching his instep. On his right fist, crimson fire flared—he met the attack head-on with a bang.
"Prepare to die!"
As soon as he spoke, he didn't hesitate—his whole body shot forward like a bullet.
"So that's your plan—kill me and take my place?"
Lin Yi let out a scornful laugh, lips curling in contempt: "A coward who doesn't even dare reveal his real name."
Master Lin said nothing. As he moved, the qi he'd gathered across the ring surged with him.
Before he could react, Evan Lin, who'd just thrown a punch, moved instantly.
Wave after wave of visible fire shot from Evan Lin's body—his blood flowing like a raging river.
Evan Lin pressed forward, his fists blazing—each punch carried intense heat.
All his qi rose like a towering wave—terrifying force, all focused on Master Lin's fist.
Lin Yi reached out with one hand, left foot sliding half a step back, arching his instep. On his right fist, crimson fire flared—he met the attack head-on with a bang.
Boom!
A wave of scorching heat erupted from the point where their fists collided, radiating outward.
Fire burst forth!
Master Lin's pupils contracted—his right fist felt sharp, needle-like pain.
That stabbing pain followed his meridians, burrowing deep inside him!
Before he could react, Lin Yi, who'd just thrown a punch, moved instantly.
Wave after wave of visible fire shot from Lin Yi's body—his blood flowing like a raging river.
Lin Yi pressed forward, his fists blazing—each punch carried intense heat.
To onlookers, the ring echoed with dull, thudding blows. The floor kept cracking, and the stands close to the ring twisted from the surging heat waves.
"T-too fast!"
"I can't even see how they're fighting!"
