Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Thunder Palm

Upon Dugu Nian’s move, Fang Lin was taken aback. This girl had grown so much stronger in such a short period of time, fully beyond Fang Lin’s expectations.

Dugu Nian’s figure flickered, a pair of jade hands emanating a faint silvery light, like sharp blades aiming for Fang Lin’s chest.

Fang Lin was surprised by Dugu Nian’s movement technique. He remembered she had never used this kind of technique before. Had she learned it after returning to the Xuan Country?

Without any hesitation, Fang Lin reached out with both hands, accurately and decisively catching Dugu Nian’s wrists, bringing her motion to a halt.

Dugu Nian’s expression remained unchanged, but a hint of cunning shone in her eyes.

“Hmm?” Fang Lin was slightly surprised and immediately let go of Dugu Nian’s wrist. Both of Dugu Nian’s arms were wrapped in a silvery light.

As soon as Fang Lin touched the silver light, he felt a piercing pain, as if he were being electrified.

“What kind of martial arts is this?” Fang Lin was somewhat astonished. With confusion brewing in his heart, he was no longer careless. He tightly clenched his fist and threw a punch.

The force of the punch immediately made Dugu Nian change color.

Not only her, but other talented individuals of Xuan Country also wore a solemn look.

This punch, seemingly ordinary, carried an extremely terrifying momentum, as though a mountain blocking the way could be shattered by it.

Despite this, Fang Lin had not used his full strength, as his opponent was Dugu Nian. If he were heavy-handed, he could hurt her unintentionally.

Dugu Nian bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with some resentment. This Fang Lin was absolutely a jerk, being so rough after not seeing her for a long time.

Without further ado, Dugu Nian swung her hands, a silver light engulfing in front of her, forming a big silver hand, with surges of thunder.

Boom!!!

Fang Lin’s fist hit hard on this big silver hand. The silver hand exploded with dazzling lightning, engulfing Fang Lin entirely.

“Miss Dugu’s Thunder Palm is indeed powerful!”

“Although it hasn’t reached the highest realm, the power is quite considerable.”

“Fang Lin must have suffered a great loss.”

“If it were a bit stronger, it could have taken Fang Lin’s life.”

····

Many people present praised Dugu Nian’s strength, but in the eyes of other geniuses, Dugu Nian’s Thunder Palm was powerful. However, Dugu Nian was too young and had invested most of her energy into Alchemy Tao. Therefore, she had not cultivated the Thunder Palm to a profound realm, which resulted in the not fully displayed power of Thunder Palm.

If those martial arts geniuses from Dugu Family performed Thunder Palm, it would be much more powerful than what Dugu Nian displayed.

“Oh my, it seems you have improved. I’m quite pleased.” Fang Lin’s voice came from within the lightning. The silver light dissipated, revealing Fang Lin’s figure.

Fang Lin’s hair was a bit messy, but apart from that, he had no injuries. His clothes were a little tattered, but otherwise, Fang Lin was completely unscathed.

Dugu Nian pouted, looking very unhappy.

“How come your skin has gotten so thick? My Thunder Palm couldn’t even hurt you.” Dugu Nian complained.

Fang Lin was speechless. Dugu Nian had grown, but had he, Fang Lin, not progressed at all?

Being honest, if Fang Lin had used his full strength in that punch just now, he could have completely shattered the silver hand, even defeating Dugu Nian in one fell swoop.

However, he did not use his full strength, he always held back, and didn’t even fight seriously.

“Take another attack from me!” Dugu Nian, unwilling to accept defeat, put up a fierce fight. She had finally improved and wanted to teach Fang Lin a good lesson when she saw him, so naturally, she wouldn’t give up easily.

Dugu Nian grabbed at the empty air in front of her and surprisingly, a silver spear appeared in her hand.

The silver spear was elegant, but it was pulsing with powerful thunderous energy. The crackling sound made people shudder.

Next moment, Dugu Nian threw the silver spear, full of powerful thunder and lightning energy, directly at Fang Lin.

“Coming well!” Fang Lin laughed loudly, and without using any Martial Arts Divine Power, he still threw a punch with such amazing momentum.

Seeing this, many people frowned, thinking that Fang Lin was too careless. Even Dugu Nian was very dissatisfied, believing that Fang Lin had underestimated her.

But it was too late to take it back now.

Boom!!!

With a loud noise, lightning spread everywhere, and the talented audience outside the Martial Arts Academy retreated to avoid being affected by the lightning.

Dugu Nian groaned, her face turned pale, and her figure staggered back. She was not paying attention, lost her balance, and was about to fall backward.

Just then, Fang Lin’s figure suddenly appeared. With a brilliant smile on his face, he gently caught Dugu Nian’s figure, preventing her from falling to the ground.

However, in doing so, Dugu Nian was held in Fang Lin’s arms, showing a charming and delicate posture.

Dugu Nian stared blankly at Fang Lin, her face flushed slightly, and her rare shy expression was shown.

The audience was stunned, especially at their posture. For those who admired Dugu Nian, it was extremely ********.

We have a hard time even striking up a conversation with Miss Dugu, but this foreign kid can be so intimate with Miss Dugu. What’s going on?

Nobody noticed that there was a flicker of gloominess, even anger, in Crown Prince Zhou Yishui’s eyes. But he concealed it very well, and there was still a smile on his face.

“You jerk!” Dugu Nian cursed and broke free from Fang Lin’s arms, but her steps were still somewhat unstable.

Fang Lin chuckled: “Although you have improved, you are still far behind me. In the future, you must not disrespect me.”

“Bah! I haven’t used my full strength yet. What’s there to be proud of?” Dugu Nian scornfully said.

Though she said that, Dugu Nian knew very well in her heart that there was indeed a significant gap between her and Fang Lin. Even if she hadn’t used several martial arts, even if she had, she wouldn’t be a match for Fang Lin.

Despite being no match for Fang Lin, Dugu Nian wasn’t discouraged. In fact, she was quite satisfied, or that Fang Lin’s performance made her satisfied.

“The match ends here. It was indeed an exciting contest.” Zhou Yishui applauded and spoke.

“I apologize for my lackluster performance in front of the Crown Prince.” Dugu Nian said lightly.

Zhou Yishui smiled slightly: “Miss Nian, after all, you’re a Pill Refiner. It doesn’t matter if you’re slightly lacking in martial arts. All a Pill Refiner needs to do is to refine good pills, it’s not like a Martial Artist who needs to fight.”

This statement sounded a bit off to Fang Lin, Dugu Nian, and the several Alchemy Tao geniuses present.
