"Lin Tianci won this match!"

After saying that, Lin Ken swept his gaze over the area below the stage, his expression seeming to say, No one objects this time, right?

The same thought surfaced in everyone's minds. If they still objected after this, they truly must not know how the word "death" was written. That was the Body Tempering Eighth Layer, yet Lin Tianci had sent him flying with a single slap!

Only Lin Dong's gaze grew even hotter.

Even after Lin Tianci displayed such overwhelming strength, he was still eager to give it a try.

After defeating Lin Hong, Lin Tianci and the others naturally advanced into the top five.

However, because the stronger juniors had already faced one another before the finals, the Lin Family Juniors who entered the top five this time were not particularly strong.

This round, Lin Dong's opponent was Lin Shan, while Lin Tianci's opponent was a Body Tempering Sixth Layer junior named Lin Yan.

"Wouldn't that mean several more rounds before the final winner is decided?" Lin Tianci waved a hand.

One-punch matches had already begun to bore him.

A few rounds would have been fine, but too many really were rather dull.

Lin Tianci looked toward Lin Zhentian.

"Grandpa, I have a suggestion."

"What is it?" Lin Zhentian asked.

By now, Lin Zhentian had placed all his hopes of returning to the family on Lin Tianci, so naturally, he would not ignore Lin Tianci's request.

"Fighting one match at a time is too troublesome. Let them come at me together."

Lin Tianci's voice reached everyone's ears.

Perhaps Lin Tianci had already given them too many shocks today.

Thus, his words did not provoke much of a reaction. They had become numb from all the surprises Lin Tianci had given them, and it seemed that whatever he did was right.

"Together?" Lin Zhentian carefully considered Lin Tianci's suggestion.

Given the strength Lin Tianci had displayed so far, among those remaining, aside from Lin Dong, it truly seemed that no one could put any pressure on him.

"Since Tianci has such an idea, then let the final round be a melee."

Without much hesitation, Lin Zhentian agreed.

"In that case, all youngsters who made it into the top five, get on the stage!" Lin Ken shouted toward the crowd below.

At that moment, he was positively beaming, and his mood was perhaps even better than Lin Zhentian's.

After all, Lin Tianci was his son. Lin Tianci's achievements filled him with pride, and from the bottom of his heart, he was proud of Lin Tianci.

This time, Lin Tianci simply did not step down. He remained standing on the stage as he watched Lin Dong, Lin Shan, Lin Yan, and the others walk up.

"Brother Tianci, we've met in the finals." Lin Dong walked up before Lin Tianci. His eyes seemed to burn with blazing flames, and his entire bearing surged with fighting spirit.

Lin Hong, Lin Xia, and the others had never truly caught Lin Dong's attention.

Only by taking someone like Lin Tianci as his opponent could he feel such a powerful sense of challenge!

"Good luck."

When facing Lin Dong, Lin Tianci did not mind showing a little goodwill.

It was not just because of the system. At the very least, Lin Dong gave him a far better impression than Lin Hong did.

After Lin Shan and the others stepped onto the stage, they naturally formed an alliance.

They had no choice. Lin Tianci put far too much pressure on them.

They knew their own limits. If they did not join forces against Lin Tianci, they feared they would not have even the slightest chance.

When the match began,

aside from Lin Dong, the other three charged at Lin Tianci almost at the same time.

It was as though they had rehearsed beforehand; even their movements were perfectly synchronized.

They hoped to overwhelm Lin Tianci and throw him into a frenzy, then knock him off the stage.

Lin Dong was not to be outdone. He followed closely behind Lin Shan and the others as he charged toward Lin Tianci.

"If that is what you are thinking, then all I can say is that you are far too naive." Lin Tianci flicked his robe.

This time, he did not display the terrifying strength he had shown in the previous rounds. Even so, with only his normal performance, he effortlessly blocked Lin Shan and the others' combined attack.

Lin Tian's heart was bitter. Facing Lin Tianci, he felt as though every punch he threw struck indestructible Black Iron.

Even though Lin Tianci had no intention of attacking, the rebounding force alone made his fists ache with waves of pain.

The others felt much the same.

Lin Dong narrowed his eyes.

Then, Yuan Qi suddenly erupted from his body!

Second-Order Martial Art, Eight Desolations Palm, was finally unleashed by Lin Dong at this moment.

"Eight Desolations Palm?" Lin Zhentian's eyes lit up slightly at the sight.

If he remembered correctly, during the Fist Technique Mini-Test half a month ago, the only martial art Lin Dong knew had been Throughback Fist.

Yet now, after only half a month, he had mastered the Second-Grade Martial Art Eight Desolations Palm to an extraordinary level.

More importantly, in Lin Dong's hands, this Eight Desolations Palm was even more agile and flawless.

Amid its broad, sweeping movements, there was also a touch of refinement.

One had to know that reaching this level was not as simple as merely changing a few movements.

Moreover, with Lin Dong's cultivation, trying to improve a Second-Grade Martial Art was practically a fantasy.

"Lin Dong has actually cultivated a Second-Grade Martial Art too, and judging by his proficiency, he is even far ahead of Lin Hong!"

The moment Lin Dong unleashed this Eight Desolations Palm, everyone below the stage was stunned.

They had thought Lin Dong was merely a dark horse, but now he had finally revealed strength that won everyone's admiration!

"Eight Desolations Palm?"

Lin Tianci was naturally extremely familiar with Lin Dong's palm technique.

After all, his Limitless Eight Desolations Palm had evolved from the original Eight Desolations Palm, yet far surpassed it.

"Then let me show you what a true Eight Desolations Palm is!"

In an instant, Lin Tianci's movements changed.

A fierce palm wind erupted.

The wind created merely by the sweep of his palm made Lin Shan and the others' skin sting with pain.

And when the Limitless Eight Desolations Palm truly struck Lin Shan and the others' bodies,

they were sent flying off the stage without the slightest ability to resist.

Even then, that was only because Lin Tianci had not used the Qi Explosion of the Limitless Eight Desolations Palm.

If he had, then the three figures flying off the stage at that moment would likely have been three corpses.

"This looks somewhat like Eight Desolations Palm, but it is far stronger!" Lin Zhentian was somewhat puzzled.

But then, a bold thought emerged in his mind.

Could this... be Lin Tianci's Self-Created Martial Art!

Although Lin Tianci had not unleashed this martial art with his full strength, it was clear that it had already surpassed the scope of Third Grade and reached the Fourth Grade.

Lin Zhentian had never heard of a Fourth Grade Martial Art resembling Eight Desolations Palm anywhere in Qingyang Town.

The more he thought about it, the more reliable this idea seemed.

The next moment, Lin Zhentian rose to his feet in excitement, crushing the Tea Cup in his hand!
