It seemed like she was getting tired. The once fierce Liu Yan finally stopped swinging her whip and stood still, panting as she stared at the young man in front of her. She couldn't believe it—only a few days had passed, and the boy's strength had improved so much.
Dawson Lin, who was testing his agility, noticed that his opponent had stopped attacking. A sense of frustration rose within him. He had only just started, and yet she had stopped. It was like a man who had been starving for three days and nights, seeing a pile of steamed buns, ready to eat, only for the buns to suddenly disappear. One could imagine how frustrated Dawson Lin was at that moment.
He looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why aren't you attacking anymore? Keep going."
"Keep going? No way! I'm done. I don't know if you've lost your mind, but you've gotten so crafty. If you're so capable, don't dodge. Fight me like a real man!" Liu Yan was more frustrated than Dawson Lin. No matter how hard she whipped, she couldn't touch a hair on Dawson Lin, and he just kept dodging. If it went on like this, she'd be exhausted.
"I won't dodge. I can fight you like a man, but if I win, you'll have to agree to one thing. Deal?"
Looking at the confident young man in front of her, Liu Yan hesitated. She trusted her own strength, but the earlier exchange had already given her doubts. If she won, things would be fine, but if she lost and he asked her to marry him... Would she really have to marry this useless boy?
Just looking at the expression on Liu Yan's face, Dawson Lin already guessed what she was thinking. A hint of disdain appeared on his face as he said with a sneer, "If you're too scared to accept the challenge, don't brag. I despise people like you."
"You think I'm bragging and afraid to fight?" Liu Yan was furious. She never thought that one day, she would be mocked by a useless man.
"Isn't that the case?"
"Fine, I'll fight you. But if you lose, you'll have to kneel in front of the City Lord's Mansion for an hour every day and keep shouting, 'Mistress, I was wrong.'"
"No problem," Dawson Lin replied casually.
Liu Yan was a bit puzzled. What did "breaking through" mean? But she didn't question it further. In her mind, the boy was still the eldest son of the Lin family, and the saying "You can't change a dog's nature" had proven that point.
With the bet set, Dawson Lin no longer planned to dodge. As a high-level warrior, he had no problem dealing with a girl, and he didn't want people to say he was using his weapon to bully a woman.
The two immediately engaged in battle. This time, Liu Yan went all out. Losing her face was one thing, but the stakes were higher—if the boy made some unreasonable demand if she lost, she would regret it forever.
In that moment, Liu Yan used the "Hell Whip," a move the City Lord had taught her. Legend had it that the City Lord had accidentally obtained this technique, which only required a single strike but possessed immense power. When the City Lord had taught it to his daughter, he warned her never to use it unless absolutely necessary.
The moment the Hell Whip was unleashed, Dawson Lin's expression became serious. He couldn't afford to underestimate it. His mind quickly activated the Nine-Turn Life and Death Art, and he immediately used his Elemental Escape technique. In the blink of an eye, Dawson Lin vanished from his original spot.
The Hell Whip was incredibly fast. As soon as Dawson Lin disappeared, the whip struck the ground where he had been, missing him by a hair. If Dawson Lin had been a fraction of a second slower, he would have been severely injured.
