Old Debts, Paid Today!

"Elder Lin He..."

The old man in gray immediately lowered his voice.

Lin He is a member of the Clan Council of Elders, and his status is much more prestigious than his.

"The Sky-Shattering Demonic Tablet Palm was given to Lin Dong by me. Do you have a problem with that?"

Lin He glanced at him indifferently, his imposing manner self-evident.

"Elder Lin He, according to the clan rules, the Sky-Shattering Demonic Tablet Palm is not to be cultivated by non- Inner Clan members. Lin Dong, that little beast... that kid is a branch family member, which is against the rules."

Noticing the gazes directed at him from all around, the gray-robed old man, caught in a dilemma, had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Oh, then you can complain about me to the Clan Council of Elders."

Lin He raised an eyebrow and said in a serious tone.

As a member of the Council of Elders, his words carried an air of refined elegance, as if asking, "Who is kneeling before me? Why are they accusing me?"

"..."

The old man in gray robes, his face ashen, was filled with a deep-seated resentment that was hard to suppress.

However, Lin Mu, the Chief Seat Great Elder of the Clan Council of Elders, sat next to Lin He but remained unmoved, clearly intending to deliberately favor Lin Dong.

"Young Master Lin Langtian, I have truly done my best."

The old man in gray sighed inwardly and had no choice but to sit down, shamelessly.

He originally intended to take advantage of the situation and use Lin Dong's violation of clan rules as an excuse to take him down directly, so that he would not have a chance to fight Lin Langtian. However, Lin He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Dong, who defeated the Lin Qing brothers in one move, didn't say much. He simply nodded to the two men who were struggling to climb out of the ravine, and then drifted away.

"This kind of person is even more despair-inducing than Lin Langtian. We brothers deserve to lose." Lin Qing and Lin Mu exchanged a bitter look and helped each other off the Battle Platform.

"Lin Dong wins the Yan City Branch of the Lin Family!"

"Next match: Lin Langtian vs. Lin Qingtan!"

As both teams left the field, the Middle-aged Referee hurriedly announced in a loud voice.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, two figures swiftly entered the arena. One was a graceful and elegant beauty, and the other was a handsome young man in a flowing Green Shirt. This pleasing pair immediately attracted the attention of most of the audience upon their appearance.

"Lin Dong's sister, Lin Qingtan, right? She's at the early stage of the Creation Stage Minor Accomplishment. Heh, I'm going to repeat what I did to your father ten years ago on you."

Gazing at the Green-clothed Graceful Figure, Lin Langtian felt a surge of intense killing intent.

"Are you trying to severely injure me here to completely enrage Brother Lin Dong?"

The graceful woman in green suddenly smiled playfully.

"Since it's a competition, injuries and deaths are inevitable, aren't they?"

Lin Langtian remained expressionless and spoke calmly.

"Hmph, hypocrite, I won't let your scheme succeed."

Qing Tan wrinkled her pretty nose, turned around and looked directly at the referee. "Referee, I concede."

Without waiting for the referee's reply, she turned and left.

For Qing Tan, nothing in the world is more important than her Brother Lin Dong. It's just a competition, so what if she just forfeits and admits defeat?

"These few matches have been really weird, with all sorts of strange things happening."

The Middle-aged Referee paused for a moment, then announced loudly, "Lin Langtian of the Inner Clan wins!"

"Damn it, how can there be a woman who has such no regard for the honor of a martial artist?!"

Lin Langtian, who advanced smoothly, felt no joy whatsoever. His face instantly darkened, and the frustration of punching cotton was indescribable.

"Next match: Lin Dong vs. Lin Langtian!"

The referee's loud shout instantly pulled Lin Langtian back from the brink of losing control, and he stared intently at a certain figure sitting in the seat.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators Giant Arena seemed to Sense Stage something and all looked up at the most powerful champion candidate.

The Champion's Battle is about to begin!

"Da da da!"

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of complex and intertwined eyes, the slender figure slowly stood up. Golden Great Sun Thunder Yuan surged rapidly beneath his feet. He lifted his foot and stepped into the air, walking towards the sky above the ten-thousand-foot-high arena.

One step, two steps, three steps...

"Clatter!"

Lin Dong stopped, lowered his head, and looked down at the figure staring intently at him. He found that his heart was unusually calm, without the slightest ripple.

After all, from the very beginning, Lin Dong never regarded Lin Langtian as a powerful enemy or opponent. He was just a small hill that Lin Dong could easily surpass with a slight lift of his foot, nothing more.

"Lin Langtian, it's been a long time."

The black-clad figure, standing with his hands behind his back, spoke calmly, his tone as serene as his inner state, undisturbed by any ripples.

The figure in the Green Shirt on the ground touched the ground with his toes and appeared at the same height as Lin Dong.

"Lin Dong, I am no longer the person I used to be. You have no idea what price I have paid in the past year to catch up with you!"

Recalling the inhuman experiences of the past year, a dark glint flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes.

A year ago, in the Ancient Tablet Space, Lin Langtian, Half-step Creation Stage, discovered that his Origin Energy cultivation was far behind Lin Dong's, who had already reached the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment.

Realizing that his title as the number one genius of the Lin Clan was about to be lost, he immediately began to cultivate madly. He gritted his teeth and tried every inhuman cultivation method that Master Mu had devised for him, all in order to surpass Lin Dong in a year.

But as soon as he said it, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in Lin Langtian's heart.

Catching up? So Lin Langtian has fallen so far behind?

Having dominated the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty for over a decade, he was always the one being chased by others. When did it become his turn to use the word "chase"?

Ha, how ironic.

"Creation Stage Peak? Not bad."

Lin Dong glanced at Lin Langtian's aura and nodded casually.

In the original novel, when Lin Langtian was attending the clan Clan Assembly, his cultivation level Quasi-Creation Stage Great Accomplishment. He only truly advanced to the Creation Stage Great Accomplishment after losing to the protagonist.

Now, perhaps because he had provoked Lin Langtian's cultivation had actually advanced further, reaching the Creation Stage Peak.

"You..."

Lin Langtian was furious. This was outrageous!

"Lin Langtian, I actually had two chances to kill you, one in the Ancient Tomb Residence and the other in the Ancient Tablet Space. Do you know why I gave them up?"

Lin Dong interrupted Lin Langtian directly and asked him a question in return.

However, Lin Langtian, with his face as still as water, was of course not going to answer him.

Lin Dong didn't expect Lin Langtian to answer, and continued speaking to himself:

"Because when Father first taught me Origin Energy cultivation, I made a promise to him that at the Clan Assembly in the next ten years, I would personally kill you in front of all the branches of the Lin Clan and all the members of the Lin Clan to avenge Father."

"Debts of the past must be repaid today!"

A soft chant echoed powerfully across the Giant Arena, lingering for a long time. Although the tone was calm enough, anyone could hear the soaring killing intent hidden beneath it.

P. S.: Some readers commented that I wrote the wrong level of the supporting characters several times. Let me say it again, that was an intentional adjustment. If the protagonist is too strong and the supporting characters are too weak, the plot will be very boring.

Therefore, without affecting the overall plot, the cultivation levels of the "villains" and "supporting characters" should also be stronger, so that the plot will be more interesting.

I mentioned in a previous post that I would make some minor adjustments to the setting, which would differ from the original work to better fit the plot. Why is no one reading it?

What can I do? I'm helpless too ╮(╯▽╰)╭, what's the use of these eyes?!
