The instant the word "Begin" was spoken—
Lin Qingyin was the first to move.
She took a step forward, and the White Jade Platform beneath her feet trembled violently. A tremendous aura, far surpassing the Early First Grade, erupted from within her.
The sheer power of her aura revealed she was at the Late Stage of First Grade!
BOOM—!
Lin Qingyin infused her palm with the Inner Qi of the Late Stage of First Grade and struck.
This was no probing attack. She struck with her full power.
As her palm sliced through the air, the condensed Palm Force drew in the surrounding currents, forming a nearly transparent Palm Seal before her hand.
The Palm Seal was about the size of a millstone, yet it was so condensed it looked solid. It carried a terrifying might, as if it could shatter mountains, and it shot straight for Chu Jinghong.
As the Palm Seal passed, it created a series of ear-piercing sonic booms and left a faint scorch mark on the White Jade Platform.
