Why Is Your Eight Desolations Palm So Strong?

Lin Xiao's steps paused. He glanced at this second elder brother of his, born of the same father but a different mother, and a smile appeared on his face. "What? Is there a problem?"

Looking at Lin Xiao's radiant smile, Lin Mang was slightly startled. A trace of displeasure rose in his heart, and he said flatly, "No problem. But today is an important day for my Lin family. Since you've come out, I hope you won't disgrace the Lin family."

Lin Xiao smiled faintly and paid Lin Mang no further attention, brushing past him directly and sitting down in a seat not far away.

"Hmph!" Lin Mang snorted coldly, his expression ugly.

Behind Lin Mang, Lin Hong immediately spoke up to comfort him, and said that during the clan competition, he would defeat Lin Fan and Lin Dong, leaving Lin Xiao unable to smile!

"That guy is so annoying!"

Qing Tan sat down at the side with Lin Xiao and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Lin Fan smiled faintly. "He's only enjoying a moment of success. There's no need to care. If he knew Third Uncle has not only recovered, but is even stronger than before, who knows what expression he'd have."

Qing Tan giggled. "I'm afraid it would be very ugly."

Hearing this, Lin Dong also chuckled softly.

Lin Xiao shook his head slightly and was just about to speak when he suddenly looked toward the main doors.

Lin Fan followed Lin Xiao's gaze and saw that the Lin family's head, Lin Zhentian, was striding over.

At Lin Zhentian's side, a middle-aged man followed closely. It was none other than the eldest of the Lin family's second generation, Lin Ken.

Beside Lin Ken, Lin Xia stood gracefully in fitted martial attire, drawing quite a few youthful gazes.

After Lin Zhentian arrived, the Trial Hall immediately became lively. Everyone hurriedly rose and took the initiative to greet him.

After Lin Zhentian had greeted the guests, he suddenly saw Lin Xiao's figure, and his expression could not help but become somewhat excited.

Lin Zhentian and his son exchanged a few words, then encouraged Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan, the three younger generation members, before sitting down in the seat of honor.

Lin Ken and Lin Xia chatted idly with Lin Xiao's family for a few moments, then also returned to their seats.

As everyone took their seats, the Trial Hall suddenly quieted down.

One gaze after another locked onto Lin Zhentian in the seat of honor.

Under the watch of countless eyes, Lin Zhentian stood up, exchanged a few simple courtesies, and then announced that the Lin Clan Competition had officially begun.

Afterward, at Lin Zhentian's signal, Lin Ken walked to the center of the Trial Hall's Plaza, then took out a bamboo tube filled with bamboo lots.

"Same old rules. Draw lots to determine your opponents. Everyone taking part in the clan competition, come out and draw!"

Lin Fan stood up and smiled. "Lin Dong, let's go. We should draw lots too."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and followed Lin Fan.

Qing Tan clenched her little fists and said, "Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong, good luck!"

Very soon, everyone finished drawing lots, and the clan competition officially began!

Lin Fan's first opponent was actually quite a coincidence. It was Lin Shan, whom he had beaten up several times before.

Lin Shan had stepped onto the stage first. When he saw that the one coming onto the stage was Lin Fan, he could not help but remember the miserable end of being beaten into a pig's head by Lin Fan, and he instinctively shrank his head back.

Over the past half year, Lin Shan had also broken through to the Body Tempering Stage Fifth Level and wanted to get back his pride from Lin Fan, but in the end, Lin Fan had beaten him into a pig's head again!

The current Lin Shan already had a psychological shadow when facing Lin Fan.

Lin Fan flashed Lin Shan a toothy grin and gently waved his hand.

"I admit defeat!"

Seeing this, Lin Shan suddenly shuddered violently. As if by conditioned reflex, he held his head in both hands and shouted.

When everyone in the Trial Hall saw this scene, they could not help but be startled. Then waves of scornful snickering rang out!

Qing Tan giggled. "Brother Lin Fan really is too amazing. He hadn't even attacked yet, and he scared Lin Shan into admitting defeat."

Lin Xiao chuckled softly and did not say much, but he also felt rather pleased in his heart.

"Trash!"

In his seat, Lin Mang's face instantly turned livid when he saw this scene, and he was furious.

Lin Ken shook his head slightly, then directly announced Lin Fan's victory.

Lin Fan glanced at Lin Shan and leisurely walked down from the stone martial stage.

There were two bouts in the first round. Lin Fan's second opponent was only at the Body Tempering Stage Fourth Level.

This time, the other party did not directly admit defeat, but he was blasted off the stone stage by Lin Fan with one punch.

While Lin Fan was taking part in his own bouts, he also kept an eye on the other stone stages.

Lin Dong's two opponents were Lin Changqiang and another very ordinary person, so he also advanced into the top ten in an extremely uneventful manner.

During their bouts, Lin Xia and Lin Hong both defeated their opponents with only a single move, drawing the attention of many people in the Trial Hall.

In the seats, Qing Tan saw that Lin Fan and Lin Dong had both easily fought their way into the top ten, and her delicate little face was covered in smiles.

"That's great! Brother Lin Fan and Brother Lin Dong have both entered the top ten. As long as they win one more match, they'll be able to enter the top five!"

Lin Xiao did not speak, but a gratified smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, the other spectators in the Trial Hall were also quietly discussing things among themselves.

Under everyone's attention, the Lin Clan Competition soon entered the Second Round.

Lin Dong's opponent had not changed. It was still Lin Yun, who was a maverick within the clan.

At first, many people did not think highly of Lin Dong, but after the battle ended, Lin Dong became the victor!

Lin Dong's victory left many people greatly surprised.

Lin Mang's expression turned somewhat gloomy, and Lin Hong also frowned slightly.

After Lin Dong, Lin Fan was actually the second to go on stage.

When Lin Fan saw his opponent, he could not help but smile. "Heh, it looks like I really do have quite the fate with you brothers, Lin Hong!"

That was right. Lin Fan's opponent in the first match of the Second Round was Lin Shan's elder brother, Lin Hong!

Lin Hong said flatly, "This time, Sister Lin Xia won't be able to stop me from teaching you a lesson."

Lin Fan smiled faintly. "As long as you have the ability."

In the seats, when Lin Xiao saw that Lin Fan's opponent was actually Lin Hong, his brows furrowed slightly. "I didn't expect Fan'er's first opponent in the Second Round to be Lin Hong."

Qing Tan clenched her small hands tightly, somewhat nervous. "Brother Lin Fan definitely won't lose to that bastard Lin Hong!"

Though she said this aloud, Qing Tan was still somewhat worried in her heart.

Lin Dong, however, looked relaxed, without the slightest worry. "Father, Qing Tan, you don't need to worry. Brother Lin Fan defeating Lin Hong will be as easy as turning over his hand!"

Lin Dong himself was confident he could defeat Lin Hong, let alone Lin Fan, who was even stronger than him!

"Begin!"

Below the stone stage, after Lin Ken saw that Lin Fan and the other were ready, he waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

Just as Lin Ken's shout fell, a faint luster surged over the surface of the two people on the stage. It was Yuan Power.

"Body Tempering Stage Seventh Level!"

Looking at the relatively dense luster on the two of them, quite a few people in the Trial Hall cried out in surprise.

"Even if you've broken through to the seventh level, you'll still lose!"

Lin Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted coldly.

They did not know that Lin Fan was not at the Body Tempering Stage Seventh Level, but the Body Tempering Stage Ninth Level!

The instant his voice fell, Lin Hong's figure shot out violently. As his arms trembled, his palms suddenly swung out. The fierce gust of force was like blades, cutting painfully against the skin.

"Eight Desolations Palm? I know it too!"

Lin Fan chuckled softly. His palms moved, directly passing through Lin Hong's palm shadows at a tricky angle and slapping onto both his arms, easily dispersing Lin Hong's palm wind.

"Why is your Eight Desolations Palm so strong? This isn't real!"

Lin Hong's face was pale. A ruthless glint flashed through his eyes as he pushed the Eight Desolations Palm to its limit. The Yuan Power within his body also surged madly toward his palm, and at last, one palm chopped down furiously at Lin Fan!

Beneath that palm wind, a whining sound actually rang out, causing everyone below the stage to be moved!

Facing Lin Hong's desperate attack, Lin Fan's expression was calm. His fierce, blade-like palm wind suddenly changed, unexpectedly gaining threads of softness as it stuck to Lin Hong's swinging hand.

Then Lin Fan's arm trembled, and a fierce, tyrannical force surged out like a tide in an instant!

Everyone in the Trial Hall held their breath at this moment, nervously watching the battle between the two!

They wanted to know who would be the final victor of this battle?
