Such trivial matters can astonish these people so much; there will be even more incredible things waiting for them in the future.

And these people, if not for this competition, would probably never know that such abilities exist in the world. It’s truly pitiful, extremely pitiful.

Ji Fan noticed that all the attention was focused on Lin Beichen, and he began to feel anxious. He hurriedly shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, this kind of thing is definitely not achievable by human strength; there must be some trick involved!"

Many people were reminded by his shout and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the only thing they couldn’t ignore is that Lin Beichen is a human, not some kind of demon. However, this doesn’t entirely prove whether Lin Beichen’s claim of being a Daoist is true or false.

"Perhaps the doctor is right, could you explain it to us? We just want to know whether this is magic or something else?" someone requested.

Lin Beichen certainly understood the implication of their words, but he didn’t reveal it, simply smiled indifferently, shrugged, and said, "For instance, I’m a Daoist?"

The reporters, hearing this once again, began to believe it somewhat. Indeed, that incident just now was definitely not something a human could do! The only explanation they could think of was that Lin Beichen is truly a Daoist!

This is huge news! In the 21st century, there is actually a Daoist’s existence! This is simply shocking.

Many reporters started to compose articles in their minds, as every media outlet wanted to release this exclusive news as soon as possible.

Ji Fan became more anxious, even though he himself started to believe it a bit, he just didn’t want to concede. He stubbornly pulled Lin Beichen and angrily said, "Since you say you’re not a magician, then prove it to us!"

This demand was indeed a bit unreasonable; with things developing to this extent, what more proof could he want? Would he really want Lin Beichen to perform a skill here that would take his head with one hand?

Ji Fan grabbed Lin Beichen’s backpack before even checking it, only to have it snatched back instinctively by Lin Beichen at lightning speed. The speed was so fast that no one saw how Lin Beichen made his move.

However, none of this mattered now. Ji Fan continued, "Look! He simply doesn’t dare to show us! There must be a trick in this backpack!"

The reporters immediately seized on this topic, starting to inquire all at once. Far away in Port City, Lan Zihua saw this scene and couldn’t help but sweat nervously for Lin Beichen.

If she were in Lin Beichen’s position, she would definitely be unable to endure, and would start to rage, right?

Expecting Lin Beichen to retaliate, but unexpectedly, he actually opened the backpack to show the camera, emptying out all the contents, his expression a bit displeased.

"How about it? Look clearly? Ji Fan, stop causing trouble for me over and over; my patience is limited, don’t challenge my bottom line," Lin Beichen said sternly.

The reporters flocked forward to check, and they were shocked to find the backpack things truly resembled equipment a Daoist might have.

Inside, there were no ordinary person’s items like thermos cups; only things like talisman papers and a compass. The compass looked antique, seeming to have some history. Besides that, there was nothing else. Frankly, the contents of this backpack were very simple.

Ji Fan was very dissatisfied, he shouted angrily, "If you have the ability, perform everything again as before; otherwise, how can we believe you!"

"Now that all your things are here, let’s see what you can do without them!" Ji Fan provoked.

Lin Beichen was already disinclined to continue entangling with him anymore, he casually picked up a talisman paper from the ground, looking coldly at Ji Fan.

"Since you want to see, I’ll just perform for you. But I warn you, don’t let me see you again, or don’t expect to leave unharmed," Lin Beichen said, revealing disdain.

Lin Beichen’s contemptuous words left everyone astonished. The next second, they saw the pink talisman paper in his hand start burning intensely. Originally a sunny day suddenly turned into dark clouds with thunder rolling.

People thought this was already shocking enough, but the next second, something even more astonishing happened. A lightning bolt struck directly in front of Ji Fan, terrifying him out of his skin, while the reporters were similarly shaken.

This cannot be a coincidence, definitely not! Ji Fan belatedly shouted, "Monster!" while hurriedly scrambling to flee the scene.

Ji Fan was so frightened by the thunder that he trembled all over, pointing at Lin Beichen and shouting, "He knows Demon Techniques; he’s definitely a demon! Quick...quick call the police, arrest him to prevent harm!"

The spectators were also amazed by Lin Beichen’s heaven-defying skills. Seeing the lightning bolt strike towards Ji Fan, they too felt a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

Most of them are ordinary people, and things like spells have always only appeared in fantasy novels and dramas. In this era where Daoist Skills have declined, even if they desire these spells, when they truly appear before them, their hearts feel fear.

Because such things break their scope of understanding; they don’t know what impact these spells might have on their lives, whether it’s good or bad.
