Lin Family Clan Competition, Easily Defeated

As summer faded away, the entire land carried a few more traces of coolness.

However, the Lin Family was burning with excitement.

The reason for this was the arrival of the Lin Family's extremely important Clan Competition.

As one of the Qingyang Town Four Great Powers, the Lin Family naturally had other factions attending such a competition as spectators.

On one hand, they had come to build ties with the Lin Family. On the other, they had come to assess the Lin Family's younger generation.

After all, for a family, the abilities of its younger generation were also extremely important.

"Lin Fan Bro, get up and take part in the Clan Competition."

Early that morning, Qing Tan came to find Lin Fan.

"Creak~"

The door opened, and Lin Fan walked out.

When he saw Qing Tan, his eyes immediately lit up.

Qing Tan was dressed in a set of emerald-green training clothes today. The elegant color gave her an even purer air, while her tight trousers wrapped around her slender, long legs, accentuating their smooth curves.

Long legs, a perky backside, and a slightly developed chest—Qing Tan was now brimming with vitality and alluring youthful charm.

Lin Fan smiled and teased, "You're dressed so beautifully today. I'm afraid I'll become the public enemy of the entire town."

"Hehe!"

Qing Tan's eyes curved into shallow crescents as she giggled playfully. "Then let them hate you. Even if they all joined forces, they still wouldn't be a match for Lin Fan Bro."

With Lin Fan's Earthly Yuan Realm Middle Stage Peak strength, he was indeed capable of looking down on all of Qingyang Town.

As soon as the two arrived, they immediately became the center of attention.

There was no need to mention Qing Tan. Her beauty was enough to rank her first in Qingyang Town, so she naturally drew countless eyes.

As for Lin Fan, he had become a prominent figure lately.

Not long ago, he had defeated Lin Hong, who was at the Body Tempering Sixth Level, making him one of the Lin Family's newly risen top three younger disciples.

When Lin Hong saw Lin Fan and Qing Tan sitting intimately together, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.

He had always regarded Qing Tan as his future wife, and everyone in the Lin Family knew it. What Lin Fan was doing was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

Just wait. I'll make you understand who the true genius of the Lin Family is!

Lin Hong thought to himself.

He did not believe that he was inferior to Lin Fan. His defeat last time had merely been the result of carelessness.

Now that his cultivation had risen to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer, wouldn't crushing Lin Fan be effortless?

Before long, Lin Dong arrived together with Lin Xiao.

Their appearance once again drew the attention of the entire crowd.

After all, Lin Xiao had once been the Lin Family's most outstanding member.

Had he not been crippled by a genius from the Lin Clan, Lin Xiao might even have broken through to the Essence Core Realm.

Once nearly everyone had arrived, a large group of people suddenly poured in through the entrance.

At their head was an elderly man with a full head of white hair.

Dressed in embroidered robes, he gave off an imposing and sturdy air. His sweeping gaze carried considerable authority.

This old man was the Lin Family head and Lin Dong's grandfather, Lin Zhentian.

Beside Lin Zhentian stood his eldest son, Lin Ken, and his granddaughter, Lin Xia.

The arrival of the group caused everyone in the training hall to rise to their feet.

Lin Zhentian smiled as he greeted the guests, then walked to the center of the seating area.

Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly spotted Lin Xiao, causing him to pause in surprise.

Ever since Lin Xiao had been crippled all those years ago, he had remained despondent, which greatly disappointed Lin Zhentian.

This was the first time Lin Xiao had appeared for an important family event since then.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Zhentian took his seat at the head.

He cupped his hands toward the guests and laughed heartily. "Today is the day of my Lin Family's Clan Competition. Thank you all for coming to show your support. Everyone present is an old acquaintance, so this old man won't waste any more words. Let us get straight to the point!"

After speaking, he looked toward Lin Ken at his side.

Lin Ken nodded and stepped into the training ground. Holding a bamboo tube, he said to the crowd, "Same rules as always. All you little ones taking part in the Clan Competition, come forward and draw lots!"

Upon hearing Lin Ken's words, several dozen younger members of the Lin Family came forward one after another.

Among them were Lin Dong, Lin Hong, and Lin Xia.

Lin Fan, however, did not step forward.

The rewards for the Lin Family Clan Competition were merely three stalks of Third Grade Spiritual Medicine and an opportunity to study Lin Family martial arts. Such rewards were far too poor and of no use to him, so naturally, he could not be bothered to participate.

His actions caused the Lin Family elders to frown.

"Could it be that you're afraid of me?"

Lin Hong sneered coldly, then stepped forward and said to Lin Fan, "Say, Lin Fan, don't tell me you cowardly bastard are afraid of me and don't dare take part in the Clan Competition?"

"Hahaha!"

The moment he spoke, Lin Shan and the others burst into laughter.

In their eyes, if that were not the case, why else would Lin Fan refuse to participate?

Lin Fan said calmly, "If I take part, none of you will have any chance at the Clan Competition championship."

Lin Hong scoffed. "Anyone can brag!"

"If you've got the guts, then participate!" Lin Shan chimed in.

Lin Fan shot the two of them a cold glance. "I hope you don't run into me!"

With that, he stepped forward and drew a bamboo lot. The number "one" was clearly written on it.

Lin Fan looked toward the Number One Arena, and his expression immediately became strange.

That was because the person on the Number One Arena was Lin Hong.

"Lin Hong, it seems your luck isn't very good!"

Lin Fan leaped onto the stone platform and gave him a calm glance.

"Hmph!"

Lin Hong snorted coldly. "Last time, I was merely careless and let you gain the upper hand. This time, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Bro, beat him up good!"

"Lin Hong Bro, beat him up!"

Below the stage, Lin Shan and Lin Hong's lackeys shouted in succession.

"Lin Fan Bro, go!"

Qing Tan also waved her little fists, cheering Lin Fan on.

"Lin Fan, today I'll let you know who the number one of the Lin Family truly is!"

As Lin Hong spoke, a glow suddenly flickered across his body.

Then he charged forward explosively. A fierce wind howled around his palms as he swung one hand horizontally at Lin Fan.

Eight Desolations Palm!

The palm wind was fierce and overbearing, yet unceasing. Deep sounds of tearing wind rang out continuously, making the attack seem quite extraordinary.

"This guy has actually reached the Body Tempering Seventh Layer as well."

Below the stage, Lin Xia revealed a grave expression.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Our Lin Family has gained another junior at the Body Tempering Seventh Layer!"

"Lin Hong might really have a chance to take first place this time!"

Sensing Lin Hong's cultivation, the Lin Family elders all revealed satisfied expressions.

"Nothing but flashy tricks!"

Faced with Lin Hong's attack, Lin Fan's expression remained extremely calm.

He did not even use a martial skill. He merely flicked his sleeve, and a burst of force struck Lin Hong.

Bang!

The next moment, Lin Hong was sent flying backward through the air and crashed heavily onto the ground.

He slid more than ten meters across the floor before finally coming to a stop.

Looking at the silent arena, Lin Fan said calmly, "You're still the same as before—easily defeated!"

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Hong immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
