Looking at the Xie Xinglian knife-wielders groaning in pain on the ground, and Han the Cripple who was so frightened that it was hard to tell whether he was truly unconscious or just pretending, Ling Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.

The young man in front of her completely overturned her understanding of martial arts combat.

In less than a minute, one person took down 270 armed gang members. Is this even human?

On average, he can take down 5 people per second. Just how fast must this guy's eyesight, movement speed, reaction time, and attack speed be?

In her understanding, even if these 270 people stood there dumbly and let you take them down one by one, it would be impossible to defeat them all in a minute.

Moreover, this is a chaotic battle between the two sides, enhanced by the combined power of the Crocodile Blade Formation.

"I remember now, your name is Lin Dong? The youngest master to be listed in this year's [Jianghu Swordsman Ranking]."

Rumor has it that you recently killed Lu Changkong, the top underworld figure in Southern Capital, with a single move.

Nie Yongchun, after delivering the karate chop, finally remembered the seemingly familiar name Lin Dong, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Young man, to be able to kill Lu Changkong, who is at the initial stage of the Transformation Realm, in one move, you must have already reached the intermediate stage of the Transformation Realm..."

But judging from the battle just now, with your speed, you channeled all your energy into the blade, and your strikes were as swift as flowing clouds.

Each strike seemed both real and illusory, as if launched from afar; it must have long surpassed the peak of the Transformation Realm and even reached beyond it.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao and her cousin Ling Feifan were both shocked. How could this guy, who was so young, possibly have surpassed the peak of the Transformation Realm?

This person looks to be no more than 20 years old. How could he have reached such a high level?

Could it be that his strength is even greater than that of Nie Yongchun, who has been famous for forty years?

"Old man, what's the point of talking about anything above the Transformation Realm? Can you even exchange it for money? What's the use of talking big if you can't exchange it for money?"

Lin Dong appeared calm on the surface, but was actually heartbroken.

That fight just now cost another 110 million in the blink of an eye. Damn it, every fight costs money, and it only keeps increasing.

It seems the curse that I have to spend money to fight is unbreakable, sigh...

“Who says you can’t exchange money? Lin Dong, my name is Ling Xiaoxiao, and I’m from the Ling family in Beijing.”

Ling Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly realize something, and her eyes lit up.

"The Ling family of the capital? Uh, exchanging cultivation level for money? What do you mean by that?"

Lin Dong didn't want to waste time arguing with her. He raised the watermelon knife in his hand and plunged it into Han the Cripple's thigh, causing blood to splatter.

"Ouch, damn it, that hurts like hell!"

Han the Cripple screamed in agony and cursed loudly.

"You're awake? Not pretending to be unconscious anymore? Hurry up and give me the money."

Lin Dong raised his hand and gently patted his pale cheek.

"Two hundred million? You might as well rob a bank. Where am I going to get that much money?"

"Yeah?"

Lin Dong didn't waste any words and directly activated the Black Gold Eye:

[Han Bin, nicknamed "Han the Cripple," male, 35 years old, unemployed, involved in 117 cases including assault, market manipulation, rape, and counterfeit currency trafficking; illicit gains valued at 29.6 million yuan.]

Damn, are all the gangs in Wuhan this poor? Less than 30 million in total assets? You dare call yourself the second largest gang in Hubei Province?

Lin Dong was in a panic, wishing he could strangle the cripple to death right then and there; this time he was really in deep trouble.

"Hey Lin Dong, how about I pay for 200 million on behalf of Chief Han?"

Ling Xiaoxiao's voice, like heavenly music, pulled Lin Dong back from his anger.

"You'll pay for him? Why?"

"Didn't I just say that cultivation level can also be exchanged for money? Just for your cultivation level, I'm willing to pay two hundred million."

"You spent two hundred million just to befriend me?"

"It's not just about making friends, it's conditional. You just need to be a retainer of the Ling family for 10 years."

"..."

Lin Dong was speechless. He stared at Ling Xiaoxiao's noble and beautiful face for a while, then shook his head.

"Your Ling family is truly wealthy, no wonder you are one of the four great families in Beijing. Did you bring those two hundred million? I might be tempted if I saw the money."

Just now, Lin Dong's Black Gold Eye scanned Ling Xiaoxiao, but strangely, the system didn't get any results:

[Ding, the target is not involved in any cases of illicit funds; information cannot be displayed.]

No way? The eldest daughter of the prestigious Ling family is so innocent?

"This is a check for two hundred million in cash. Please take a look."

Ling Xiaoxiao pushed a brand-new check in front of Lin Dong.

Holy crap, it really exists? I was careless earlier and didn't run the Black Gold System to scan it first, but it's not too late now.

The Ling family members carry two hundred million with them? It's really different coming from a big family. Hmm, such generous people are worth befriending.

"There really are two hundred million?"

Lin Dong smiled happily, picked up the check, and flicked it lightly with his finger, making a crisp sound.

"Xiaoxiao, this two hundred million is for our public relations project in Yangjiaji. We've already promised it to others. How are we going to explain this to them tomorrow?"

When Ling Feifan saw that his cousin had actually taken out that two hundred million yuan check just to win over a strange martial arts master, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll call my dad later and ask him to transfer another 200 million. He'll understand."

"You... sigh..."

Ling Feifan was so angry that he was speechless.

Crazy, both of them are fucking crazy. One of them is a freak who can beat people to a pulp, and the other is so generous he's inhuman.

With the check in hand, Lin Dong naturally didn't forget to activate the Black Gold System. To his surprise, he discovered that this was also a sum of black gold.

Hahaha... I'm rich now, another super profit!

[Ding, 200 million yuan of black gold value detected... Conversion completed, current wealth balance: 343.205 million yuan.]

The 110 million wealth points I lost in that fight have been doubled back in an instant.
