"With the strength of the Body Tempering Stage, he created a Fourth Grade Martial Art. Such terrifying talent—no one would believe it even if it were told to them!"

Once this thought surfaced in Lin Zhentian's mind, it refused to fade for a long time.

At that moment, the old man's hands even began to tremble uncontrollably. He knew that perhaps he would not need to wait another few decades. At the next Lin Clan Clan Competition, he could return home in glory.

"This..." Even some distinguished guests who were on good terms with the Lin Family found themselves speechless.

Even though they knew that the stronger the Lin Family became, the more benefits they would receive.

At this moment, however, intense jealousy still rose in all their hearts.

First, Lin Dong accomplished an Astonishing Feat, using the strength of the Body Tempering Stage to improve a Second-Grade Martial Art. Then, Lin Tianci overwhelmed the entire arena, using the strength of the Body Tempering Stage to create a Fourth Grade Martial Art.

This Lin Family was simply overflowing with talent!

Why could their own families not produce juniors with such outstanding talent?

"Tianci has given me far too many surprises today." Lin Ken lost his composure as well. Was it really so easy to create a martial art?

Even with his Sky Realm strength, creating a First-Grade Martial Art was nothing but a fantasy.

"Without realizing it, Brother Tianci has already reached this level?" Lin Xia took a deep breath.

Her mind was filled with scenes of Lin Tianci acting like a salted fish during this period.

"I really don't understand the world of geniuses..."

On the other side, Qing Tan had no cultivation whatsoever, so she could not tell that Lin Tianci had created a martial art.

However, she could understand the astonished exclamations around her, as well as the sight of Lin Tianci facing four opponents alone and effortlessly knocking three of them off the stage.

At that moment, Lin Tianci stood on the stage in white robes, his hands behind his back. In Qing Tan's eyes, he looked unbelievably handsome.

Qing Tan stared at Lin Tianci in a daze, completely losing track of time.

"Cousin Lin Dong, now only the two of us remain on the arena," Lin Tianci said.

Lin Dong nodded seriously, excitement shining in his eyes.

Lin Tianci's strength had stirred a tremendous fighting spirit within Lin Dong.

"Here it comes!" Lin Dong rushed forward and arrived before Lin Tianci.

Under Lin Tianci's provocation, Lin Dong unleashed unprecedented potential.

His speed was also much faster than before.

This time, Lin Dong did not hesitate at all. He directly unleashed the most powerful martial art he currently knew—the Second-Grade Martial Art, Eight Desolations Palm!

At the same time, Lin Dong's aura surged dramatically!

"Body Tempering Eighth Layer!" Exclamations came from below the stage.

"Lin Dong has actually reached such a realm!" Lin Zhentian's eyebrows twitched violently.

"Not only that, after Lin Dong improved this Eight Desolations Palm, it actually possesses power comparable to a Third Grade Martial Art!" A Lin Family guest beside him said blankly.

"It seems that the biggest dark horse of this Clan Competition is Dong'er." Lin Tianci took a deep breath.

"Bang!" However, Lin Tianci, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, merely threw a punch that easily struck Lin Dong in the chest just as Lin Dong's speed reached its peak.

Lin Dong was immediately blasted heavily off the stage.

"Lin Dong, you are still too weak." Lin Tianci shook his head slightly.

The area below the stage fell silent. The words of praise that had been directed at Lin Dong suddenly could no longer be spoken.

After stepping off the stage, Lin Dong staggered. His legs trembled before he finally stopped himself from retreating.

Although his body was uninjured, the blow to his heart was far more painful than any physical injury.

When competing with Lin Tianci, even after using all his strength, he could defeat people at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer.

Yet when facing Lin Tianci, all his attacks vanished without a trace.

Sometimes, when he struck Lin Tianci's arm with his palm, the other man's arm did not even tremble.

Every detail made Lin Dong understand that there was still an unfathomable chasm between himself and Lin Tianci.

And Lin Tianci had simply swatted him away as though swatting a fly.

Such an enormous contrast filled Lin Dong with despair.

Because of this, Lin Dong lowered his gaze, frustration swelling within him.

Even with the Stone Talisman's help, all his opportunities, and all the preparation he had made, he still could not obtain First Place in this Clan Competition.

On the other side, after knocking Lin Dong off the stage, Lin Tianci had been carefully watching his reaction.

Before this Clan Competition, in order not to make himself seem so relaxed, Lin Tianci had tied heavy Black Iron around various parts of his body. Yet unexpectedly, he had still defeated Lin Dong with considerable ease.

Looks like I overestimated this Child of Destiny after all! Lin Tianci muttered inwardly.

However, when he saw Lin Dong's somewhat dejected back, he immediately grew anxious.

No, if I let Lin Dong leave like this, who knew what would happen to him in the future?

"Cousin Lin Dong." Lin Tianci hurriedly called out to stop Lin Dong.

Lin Dong turned around. At that moment, it seemed as though all the light had vanished from his eyes.

"Cousin Tianci's strength is formidable. I admit that I, Lin Dong, have lost this match."

Lin Dong thought Lin Tianci had come to mock him, so he immediately cupped his fists and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Cousin Lin Dong, think of how high-spirited you were during the Fist Technique Mini-Test."

Lin Tianci spoke in a clear voice.

"And now, after merely losing one match, you have become this dispirited?"

"I..." Lin Tianci's string of questions left Lin Dong speechless.

"Victory and defeat are only temporary gains and losses. Your strength will stay with you for a lifetime. This is merely a Family Competition—do you not want to see the larger, broader world beyond?"

Lin Tianci's words made Lin Dong yearn for that distant world. He nodded instinctively, and the light that had vanished from his eyes began to return.

He seemed to have already started looking forward to the vast world beyond.

It worked, it worked! Lin Tianci felt completely reassured. But this alone was not enough—he needed to add more fuel to the fire!

"Lin Dong, do you not want to avenge your father at the Lin Clan's grand competition three years from now?" Lin Tianci said righteously.

"Do you not want to cripple Lin Langtian with your own hands in front of everyone?"

"If you do, then this level of strength is not enough. You still need to work harder. Besides, you do not have spare time to sit around feeling sorry for yourself."

At the mention of Lin Langtian, a dazzling light suddenly burst from Lin Dong's eyes.

He had never forgotten his vengeance, nor had he ever dared to forget it.

The moment Lin Tianci brought it up, it struck Lin Dong's heart like a deafening bell.

"Thank you, Brother Tianci, for enlightening me. I, Lin Dong, will remember this kindness!" He cupped his fists toward Lin Tianci, then bowed deeply.

"Tianci is extraordinarily talented, and his character is beyond reproach as well." Lin Zhentian smiled in satisfaction.

"After winning, he is neither arrogant nor impatient, and he even considers the feelings of the defeated. Tianci has truly done an excellent job as an elder brother."

Everyone below the stage was won over by the character Lin Tianci had displayed.
