Let's Get Competitive

Although far more members of the Lin Family had participated in the Fist Technique Test.

The others had no complaints about Lin Tianci and the rest receiving Spirit Medicine.

After all, everyone had witnessed the strength of those few.

Lin Tianci in particular had accomplished an Astonishing Feat in this Fist Technique Test, leaving everyone thoroughly convinced.

With Body Tempering Fourth Layer strength, he had performed the Nine-Resonance Back-Striking Fist. Everyone below the stage asked themselves honestly, and not one of them could have done it.

Lin Zhentian had always acted swiftly and decisively.

He immediately sent someone to carefully carry out four boxes from the Lin Family warehouse.

Each box contained two stalks of Third-Grade Spirit Medicine.

Under everyone's envious gazes, he handed the four boxes to Lin Tianci and the others one by one.

The instant Lin Dong received his box.

The system's voice immediately rang out in Lin Tianci's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the Child of the Plane, Lin Dong, has obtained two stalks of Third-Grade Spirit Medicine. The Host will receive a Hundredfold Return."

A hundredfold return for Spirit Medicine? Lin Tianci was delighted, but then his expression turned somewhat strange.

Would a hundredfold return of the Spirit Medicine mean giving him two hundred stalks of Third-Grade Spirit Medicine?

If two hundred stalks of Third-Grade Spirit Medicine suddenly appeared in full view of everyone, he would not be able to explain it even if he had two mouths.

However, Lin Tianci's worry did not last long before the system's voice continued in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a medicinal pill: Body Cultivation Pill."

The next instant, Lin Tianci felt a small bottle appear in his shirt pocket.

He knew that his pill had arrived.

"It seems this system is quite considerate." Lin Tianci was in high spirits, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of his lips.

Although he had never heard of the Body Cultivation Pill, anything produced by the system had to be top-quality.

What was more, it had come from a hundredfold return on Third-Grade Spirit Medicine. It certainly would not be bad!

"It was only a Fist Technique Mini-Test, yet you're this happy about it."

Lin Hong beside Lin Tianci noticed his smile and could not help curling his lips, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Clearly, he had mistaken Lin Tianci's happiness for excitement over taking First Place in this Fist Technique Mini-Test.

Seeing that everyone had received their Spirit Medicine, Lin Zhentian turned and continued speaking to the juniors below the stage.

"There are only fifteen days left until the Lin Family Clan Competition."

"Work hard, little ones, and make the most of these final fifteen days."

"You four who received Spirit Medicine in this Fist Technique Mini-Test must not become arrogant because of it. Those who did not receive any need not be discouraged either. After all, the real test will come fifteen days from now."

"I hope all of you can achieve results that satisfy you in the Clan Competition half a month from now."

After Lin Zhentian finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Ken beside him.

Lin Ken immediately understood and nodded. Taking over from Lin Zhentian, he said, "The top three in this Clan Competition will all be allowed to enter the family's Martial Arts Hall and gain the opportunity to select Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills."

Lin Ken's words made Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and the others breathe more rapidly.

Even Lin Shan, Lin Yun, and the others below the stage, who had been somewhat discouraged at not receiving Spirit Medicine, regained their spirits.

"The Fist Technique Test is only related to one's proficiency in fist techniques."

At that moment, Lin Hong spoke up from the side.

"But the family Clan Competition is closely tied to one's cultivation."

"Cousin Tianci, don't you agree?"

Lin Hong's words made Lin Tianci frown slightly.

Everyone in the Lin Family knew about his cultivation level, yet Lin Hong had brought it up in front of everyone.

Especially when Lin Tianci had just taken First Place in the Fist Technique Mini-Test, how was that any different from slapping him in the face in public?

Lin Tianci glanced at Lin Hong, then at the juniors below, some of whom wore eager expressions as they watched the drama unfold.

He cleared his throat.

"Cousin Lin Hong is right. The Clan Competition is indeed related to cultivation, but if one's cultivation is profound while one is inferior in fist techniques and Martial Skills, then all those years of body tempering would truly be something of a joke."

"You..." Lin Hong's expression darkened.

He opened his mouth to say something, only to realize that Lin Tianci was indeed right.

The higher one's cultivation, the easier it naturally was to practice Martial Skills. Lin Tianci was only at the Body Tempering Fourth Layer, yet he could bring the Throughback Fist to the Ninth Ring.

In that regard, he truly could not compare to him.

"He is still young, after all. His temperament is a little lacking." Lin Tianci shook his head slightly, then ignored Lin Hong and looked below the stage, sensing the atmosphere growing heated once more.

"I'm a few years older than Hong'er and Xia'er, and I've cultivated the longest. So for this Clan Competition, I'll reserve First Place in advance!"

Lin Tianci looked at Lin Dong beside him, who seemed to have little obsession with First Place, and smilingly added more fuel to the fire.

"Cousin Lin Dong, I know you are exceptionally talented, but if this is all you can manage, it still won't be enough. I'll be waiting for you in the position of First Place in the Clan Competition."

Lin Tianci's gaze toward Lin Dong was filled with goodwill, without the slightest hint of mockery. Instead, it was as though he wanted to encourage Lin Dong.

"Good, good, good." Lin Ken smiled approvingly from the side. "It is rare for Tianci to have such lofty ambitions. As his Dad, I will naturally support him with all my strength. With the talent Tianci has displayed today, his future achievements certainly will not be insignificant!"

"Ge, that Throughback Fist you performed today was incredibly cool. Teach me when you get back." Lin Xia looked at Lin Tianci with deep admiration as well.

Through integrating the original owner's memories, Lin Tianci knew that such an admiring gaze from Lin Xia had not appeared since he began cultivating.

"No problem. Ge will teach you." Lin Tianci waved his hand and agreed.

With his current talent, teaching Lin Xia would naturally be effortless.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong in the distance was somewhat surprised when he heard Lin Tianci mention him.

After all, he and Lin Tianci had barely interacted before. Their relationship had at most amounted to exchanging nods when they met.

But then he noticed the goodwill in Lin Tianci's eyes.

That surprise transformed into fighting spirit.

Lin Dong nodded heavily. "Since Cousin Tianci has said so, Lin Dong naturally will not disappoint Cousin Tianci. I'll also join the fight for First Place in this Clan Competition!"

"Then we'll settle it at the Clan Competition." Lin Hong had been worrying over how to strike at Lin Tianci again, only to hear the exchange between Lin Tianci and Lin Dong. He immediately spoke up as well.

"If you want First Place in the Clan Competition, you'll have to see whether I agree!"

Seeing fierce light erupt in both their eyes, Lin Tianci was overjoyed.

It seemed the fire he had stoked was burning fiercely enough.

Let's Get Competitive, boys!
