When Lin Hong stepped onto the stage, a cold smile hung at the corner of his lips, and his eyes were filled with disdain, as though none of the juniors present were worth his notice.

Like Lin Tianci, Lin Hong had defeated every opponent he had faced so far with a single palm strike.

Thus, the moment he took the stage, he naturally drew the attention of everyone around him.

Especially since this match was between him and Lin Xia.

Among the Lin Family Juniors, both of them were considered outstanding talents.

Although Lin Tianci's strength had increased greatly these past few days, he had not been famous for as long as Lin Hong and Lin Xia. Thus, many people had privately guessed that First Place in this Clan Competition would likely go to either Lin Xia or Lin Hong.

Yet before the final round had even arrived, the two had met head-on.

"Mm, just perform to your usual standard. Don't be nervous." Lin Tianci nodded.

After receiving Lin Tianci's encouragement, Lin Xia's nervousness visibly eased.

Lin Xia pushed off with both legs, and with a twist of her slender waist, she gracefully drifted onto the arena.

Her valiant figure made quite a few eyes light up.

"Sister Lin Xia, you aren't my opponent. You should just admit defeat. It wouldn't look very good if I had to beat you off the stage in a miserable state."

Lin Hong clasped his hands toward Lin Xia. Yet judging by his tone and expression, it was impossible to tell whether he was being sincere or mocking her.

"Who wins and who loses will be decided by our hands!" Lin Xia huffed.

Lin Hong always liked opposing Brother Tianci, so Lin Xia had come to dislike him as well.

Since they had met on the arena, she would naturally go all out and teach Lin Hong a proper lesson, so that he would stop looking down on everyone!

"The match begins!"

Below the stage, after seeing that both were ready, Lin Ken heavily swung his hand and announced in a deep voice.

The instant Lin Ken's voice fell, a faint glow surged across Lin Xia's body.

This was Origin Energy!

"I heard before that Lin Xia was exceptionally talented. Reaching the Body Tempering Seventh Layer at such a young age, even the Sky Realm will likely be within her reach in the future," someone below the stage sighed.

Yet as soon as he finished speaking, Origin Energy light appeared over Lin Hong's body opposite Lin Xia as well.

The glow around him was even several degrees brighter than Lin Xia's!

Cries of surprise rang out below the stage. No one had expected Lin Hong to have reached the Body Tempering Seventh Layer too!

This showed that Lin Hong's talent was no worse than Lin Xia's, perhaps even stronger by a little.

Below the stage, Lin Tianci noticed a relieved smile at the corners of Lin Zhentian's lips.

The more outstanding these juniors were, the brighter the Lin Family's future would be!

"Sister Lin Xia, be careful!" Lin Hong took a deep breath.

Then, his eyes instantly turned sharp, and he shot toward Lin Xia.

His fists were covered in dense Origin Energy, giving off a rather dangerous feeling.

Naturally, Lin Xia was unwilling to be outdone. As her body twisted, Origin Energy surged, and she raised both palms to meet Lin Hong's fists.

"Lin Hong actually cultivated a Second-Grade Martial Art too."

With Lin Tianci's current eyesight, he could naturally tell at a glance that the martial art Lin Hong was currently using was the Second-Grade Martial Art, Wind Thunder Fist.

This fist technique was Lin Mang's famous martial art. Once cultivated to its peak, every punch would carry the mighty sound of wind and thunder, and could even rival a Third-tier martial art!

Lin Mang had once used this very fist technique to kill a Sky Realm expert of the same level with a single punch!

"No wonder Lin Hong is so confident. So he cultivated the Wind Thunder Fist." Lin Tianci curled his lips. In his eyes, this Second-Grade Martial Art was nothing special.

Although Lin Hong had not cultivated the Wind Thunder Fist for long, he had clearly received Lin Mang's personal instruction. Thus, when he used it, it carried a faint trace of Lin Mang's style.

Once the Wind Thunder Fist was unleashed, the pressure on Lin Xia abruptly increased.

Enveloped by the fierce gusts from his fists, Lin Xia had no choice but to retreat as she fought. Every punch of the Wind Thunder Fist that struck the skin of her palms left her with a tingling, numbing sensation, as if she had been shocked.

However, although Lin Xia kept retreating, anyone with sharp eyes could see that she was not in a sorry state.

After all, Lin Xia also possessed a Second-Grade Martial Art.

During the exchange, Lin Xia had already retreated to the edge of the arena. If she took one more step, she would fall off and lose the match outright!

"Xia is probably going to lose." Lin Tianci frowned slightly.

The Second-Grade Martial Art Lin Xia used, Spirit Sword Finger, was ultimately somewhat weaker than the Wind Thunder Fist.

Moreover, Lin Xia's strength was also slightly inferior to Lin Hong's.

Lin Xia halted her steps, then pushed the Origin Energy in her body to its limit.

At once, the light at Lin Xia's fingertips flared brilliantly!

"Sister Lin Xia, it's useless. Just admit defeat obediently." Lin Hong still had the spare breath to speak.

He likewise increased the output of his Origin Energy.

At this moment, everyone understood that the result of this match was about to be decided!

Under everyone's gaze, a fist and a finger collided fiercely.

From the very center came an intense metallic clash!

Then, under the backlash of that collision, Lin Xia was sent flying backward and fell off the stage.

Although Lin Hong was somewhat stronger than Lin Xia, under Lin Xia's full-force burst, his body swayed as he staggered back several steps uncontrollably, leaving two shallow pits in the ground.

He was still standing on the arena!

Lin Hong had won this match!

"Sister Lin Xia, I told you long ago that you aren't my opponent now. You're too weak." Lin Hong shook his hand, then placed it behind his back.

"You can't bear the banner and title of Lin Family Junior Number One!"

Lin Hong was clearly in an excellent mood. As he spoke, he openly mocked Lin Xia.

After hearing Lin Hong's words, Lin Tianci's previously calm expression gradually darkened.

The way he looked at Lin Hong also slowly turned cold.

Lin Hong had lost to Lin Xia many times before, yet Lin Xia had always comforted him.

But today, after Lin Hong won, he revealed such a petty and ugly face.

It seemed his cousin needed to learn what humility truly was.

After stepping down from the stage, Lin Xia returned to Lin Dong's side with a somewhat dejected expression.

"Victory and defeat are common in battle." Lin Tianci patted Lin Xia's shoulder and comforted her. "Lin Hong only relied on the advantage of his martial art. If he had used another martial art, the outcome might not have been the same."

"Mm." After hearing Lin Tianci's comfort, Lin Xia's mood finally improved a little.

"Also, you don't need to take Lin Hong's words to heart, because soon, he won't be able to say another word." Lin Tianci continued.

If nothing unexpected happened, his next opponent would be Lin Hong!
