"In front of Uncle Eagle, he's nothing but worthless trash."
Ryan Ren sneered and glanced at Mia Chen standing nearby. "Now, even if you want to regret it, it's already too late."
"You'll see with your own eyes how your friend will kneel and beg for mercy."
"You'll witness his suffering, and you'll understand—the outcome of making an enemy of me."
Ryan Ren's voice rang out, full of confidence and certainty.
He watched as Evan Lin stood right in front of Uncle Eagle.
Just one step away.
As long as this kid takes one more step, Uncle Eagle will crush him completely with his Pointing-to-Mystery Realm power!
He moved!
Everyone stared in that direction, their hearts tightening.
They could already predict everything that was about to happen.
Evan Lin took the final step and stepped onto Seahaven Island.
Uncle Eagle didn't hesitate at all. His expression turned cold as he stepped forward and struck like lightning.
Surging force gathered at his fist's tip. One punch split into five—before everyone's eyes, the energy condensed into fists that looked almost solid.
Each fist smashed straight down at Evan Lin!
The might of the Pointing-to-Mystery Realm.
Even a simple punch like that made everyone's scalp tingle.
The force of the punch, along with the wind, seemed to turn into needles, stinging their faces painfully!
"He's dead."
Ryan Ren's face twisted into a cruel smile.
Mia Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Emily Yi and the others turned pale.
Everyone else held their breath.
Some couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen and closed their eyes.
In everyone's eyes...
Standing in front of Uncle Eagle, Evan Lin merely shifted his gaze and glanced at Uncle Eagle.
He stood right where he was, not moving at all.
He didn't even dodge, nor did he try to block.
Maybe this kid had already completely given up.
Or maybe, Uncle Eagle's punch had scared him out of his wits!
But then, in the very next second—
Uncle Eagle, who had stepped forward and punched with lightning speed, saw his supposedly unstoppable fist brush right past Evan Lin.
And his whole body toppled forward, straight as a board.
His fist smashed down onto the pier.
Boom!
Dirt and stones flew everywhere.
The whole pier shattered into pieces.
The impact was massive.
Yet Evan Lin, standing right in front of him, was completely unharmed.
Silence.
Everyone stared at the wrecked pier, momentarily forgetting how to speak.
In their eyes, Uncle Eagle was now lying face-down at the young man's feet.
From throwing a punch to lying down.
It all happened in one clean, instant beat.
As for the young man, all he did was walk forward from start to finish.
It seemed like... he didn't do anything at all?
"Missed?"
Finally, someone spoke up quietly, uncertainty thick in their voice.
It was honestly pretty unbelievable.
A Pointing-to-Mystery Realm powerhouse threw a deadly punch at someone standing less than a meter away.
And yet, he missed.
Even a thousand-degree nearsighted person couldn't possibly miss at such close range!
"Looks like that's what happened."
"This kid's luck is insane!"
"Who would've thought even a Pointing-to-Mystery Realm expert from the Ren Family could make such a rookie mistake!"
The crowd started murmuring.
All those comments landed in Ryan Ren's ears.
His expression went from stunned to furious.
All in a split second.
"Is it over?"
Mia Chen's eyes brightened. Seeing Evan Lin safe, the heavy stone in her heart finally dropped.
"Get up! Get up!"
Ryan Ren stormed up, standing right in front of Uncle Eagle, and kicked him hard: "Why are you still lying here?"
"Get up! How long are you planning to stay down here?"
"Get up!"
Ryan Ren's voice was full of rage as he shouted.
Everyone around didn't dare breathe.
No one could understand why that Pointing-to-Mystery Realm powerhouse was just lying there, unconscious.
Even after being kicked, he didn't react at all.
"This is your Ren Family's Pointing-to-Mystery?"
Evan Lin looked at Ryan Ren and spoke calmly.
"You little punk, are you looking for trouble?"
Ryan Ren couldn't stand the humiliation. His face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Evan Lin.
Smack!
The slap landed.
But it didn't land on Evan Lin's face.
Evan Lin slapped Ryan Ren so hard he flew off the pier and rolled back onto the deck.
Clang!
Ryan Ren lay sprawled in front of everyone, clutching his face and rolling in pain.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them.
Things changed so quickly, it was almost dizzying.
"He... he hit Ryan Ren?"
"This kid really isn't afraid of dying. I don't know why Uncle Eagle from the Ren Family suddenly collapsed, but not just anyone can slap Ryan Ren's face!"
"He's clearly declaring war on the entire Ren Family!"
A group of people instinctively took a few steps back.
"You're dead. You're dead!"
Ryan Ren lay on the ground for a long time before two people came over to help him up.
His face was already swollen.
He looked absolutely miserable.
"Who lives and who dies is still unknown. Why not give it a try?"
Evan Lin stood before the shattered pier, turned around, and looked at Ryan Ren on the deck, his voice slow and steady.
"Fine, fine, fine!"
"I really want to see what you're made of, what gives you the guts to talk to me like that! You even dare to hit me, you actually dare to hit me!"
Ryan Ren was shaking with rage, barely able to speak clearly.
He shakily took out his phone, about to make a call.
Just as he was speaking...
Over by the pier...
Three black Audis approached from the distance.
The cars stopped.
The doors opened.
A man in a black suit stepped out of one of the cars.
He didn't look very old, had a sunny face and curly hair. As soon as he appeared and saw the shattered pier, the boy standing there, and Uncle Eagle lying at the boy's feet, he paused in surprise.
"It's Senior Lu!"
A girl saw the man standing there, her face lit up with excitement, and she waved enthusiastically.
"Senior Lu!"
She called out loudly.
Hearing this, Ryan Ren, who was about to make a call, froze for a moment.
He looked up toward the newcomer.
When he saw the man's face, his own expression changed instantly.
"What happened here?"
Senior Lu led his group over.
Emily Yi and the other girls, along with Zach Zhou and the boys, felt like they'd just seen their savior. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you Ren Jiahe?"
Senior Lu's real name was Lu Xuyan.
He walked over, glanced at Ryan Ren's swollen face, and hesitated before asking, "Who did this to you?"
"That was a bit too harsh. His face looks like a pig's head now."
