Ten Echoes of the Tong Bei Fist, Defeating Lin Hong with a Single Blow!

"Cousin Lin Yi, you certainly have quite the imposing air! However, my brother, Lin Hong, is not someone just anyone can bully!"

Just then, a handsome youth dressed in white strolled over from the other side of Lin Shan.

The youth was about fifteen or sixteen years old, a cold sneer playing on his lips. He was none other than Lin Shan's older brother and the second-ranked junior of the Lin Family, Lin Hong!

"Brother!"

"Cousin Lin Hong!"

Seeing Lin Hong appear, Lin Shan and his lackeys cried out in pleasant surprise. The panic on their faces vanished, as they clearly had absolute confidence in him.

"Oh no, why did that guy Lin Hong have to show up..." Lin Changqiang, standing behind Lin Yi, was now filled with worry.

The joy that had just bloomed on Qing Tan's delicate face at Lin Yi's arrival suddenly froze.

After all, among the juniors of the Lin Family, the only one who could truly best Lin Hong was Lin Xia!

Lin Yi, however, remained calm. He looked at Lin Hong across from him and said indifferently, "It seems you were waiting specifically for me?"

"Heh, I just happened to be passing by," Lin Hong said with a smile, though Lin Yi could see the coldness hidden within it.

In truth, Lin Hong had been begged by Lin Shan to come out and teach Lin Yi a lesson.

Having heard that Lin Yi's cultivation had progressed rapidly of late, Lin Hong wanted to test him and suppress him early, lest he suffer an upset during the Clan Competition.

Qing Tan's face turned anxious as she gritted her teeth and said, "Take the Crimson Sun Grass, just let us leave!"

"Heh, Qing Tan, if you need Spirit Medicine, you only need to come to me. A first-grade Spirit Medicine like the Crimson Sun Grass is simply too low-class," Lin Hong said, his gaze shifting to Qing Tan with a strange glint in his eyes.

"However, since Lin Yi wants to bully my brother right in front of me, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye. Don't worry, for your sake, I won't go too hard on him."

"Don't worry, Qing Tan," Lin Yi comforted her before staring at Lin Hong and sneering, "If you want to fight, hurry up. Why are you wasting your breath?"

"Since Cousin Lin Yi is so impatient, then I shall test your mettle."

As soon as the words left his lips, he didn't wait for a reply. He lunged forward, his palm slashing toward Lin Yi's chest.

Lin Yi had anticipated Lin Hong's near-sneak attack. He immediately clenched his fist, directly unleashing the stance of the Tong Bei Fist.

"Pa, pa, pa..."

The crisp, loud sound of his sleeve snapping against his arm echoed rapidly.

At the same time, Lin Yi's fist collided with Lin Hong's palm.

"Bang!"

As fist met palm, a dull thud resonated through the air.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Feeling the immense force traveling through his arm, Lin Yi retreated three steps to dissipate the impact.

Lin Hong, however, was forced back more than ten steps before he could steady himself. His blood churned within him, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Nine echoes of the Tong Bei Fist, Sixth Level of Body Tempering! How is that possible?"

Lin Hong's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Yi, his face filled with disbelief.

As far as he knew, Lin Yi had only just broken through to the Fifth Level of Body Tempering half a month ago.

To break through to the Sixth Level of Body Tempering in just half a month—this speed was simply too exaggerated!

The surrounding Lin Family juniors were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the floor!

They never expected that in a clash with Lin Hong, Lin Yi would actually gain the upper hand!

"No... this isn't real!"

Lin Shan's face turned pale as he muttered to himself, unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

If even his big brother Lin Hong was defeated by Lin Yi, would he ever be able to hold his head high in front of the siblings again?

"Great, Brother Lin Yi actually won!"

Seeing Lin Yi force Lin Hong back with a single punch, Qing Tan and Lin Changqiang were overcome with joy!

"Cousin Lin Yi, you truly have some skill. Come again!"

Lin Hong's expression flickered, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. As his voice fell, he charged at Lin Yi, his arms shaking as he unleashed both palms.

The fierce wind from his strikes felt like blades, cutting into the skin with a stinging pain.

Clearly, Lin Hong was not willing to accept defeat just like that!

In Lin Yi's eyes, however, Lin Hong's ferocious palm shadows appeared riddled with openings.

"The Eight Desolations Palm, is it..."

Lin Yi murmured to himself. He swung his arm, passing through Lin Hong's palm shadows at a tricky angle, and unleashed the Tong Bei Fist once more.

"Pa, pa, pa..."

This time, ten crisp sounds echoed in succession through the air.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same instant, Lin Yi's fist slammed heavily into Lin Hong's chest.

"Pfft!"

Lin Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Tong Bei Fist, how could there be a tenth echo..."

Lin Hong lay on the ground, eyes wide and face pale, doubting his entire existence.

"This... how is this possible?"

The surrounding Lin Family juniors were struck dumb with shock at the sight.

They had already been surprised when Lin Yi pushed Lin Hong back earlier, but they never expected him to send Lin Hong flying with a single strike that made him vomit blood.

Lin Shan's face turned pale, his eyes filled with despair; his backer... had fallen!

"Brother Lin Yi is amazing!"

Qing Tan and Lin Changqiang cheered excitedly.

After defeating Lin Hong, Lin Yi turned to look at Lin Shan and the others, saying coldly, "It seems you have forgotten what I said last time!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Lin Shan and his group changed drastically.

Ignoring their terrified gazes, Lin Yi walked straight up to them and beat Lin Shan and his lackeys until their faces were swollen like pig heads.

"Qing Tan, let's go, it's time to head back for dinner."

After finishing the job, Lin Yi clapped his hands, spoke to Qing Tan, and headed back toward his residence first.

Qing Tan and Lin Changqiang followed behind Lin Yi in high spirits.

Not long after the three left, Lin Xia and several Lin Family juniors hurried over. Upon learning that Lin Yi had actually defeated Lin Hong, their jaws dropped, their faces filled with disbelief!

"Is this for real? Lin Yi actually managed to defeat cousin Lin Hong?"

"You guys didn't see it wrong, did you?"

"Didn't Lin Yi just break through to the Fifth Level of Body Tempering half a month ago? His progress is way too fast!"

"..."

"I never expected Lin Yi to be able to defeat Lin Hong! It seems I cannot slack off either, otherwise, the next one to be defeated by Lin Yi will be me..."

Lin Xia's expression turned solemn as she muttered to herself, then turned and left immediately.

After Lin Xia departed, the crowd of Lin Family juniors who had been watching the spectacle scattered in a flurry.

Lin Hong's face was ashen. Together with his fellow sufferer Lin Shan and their lackeys, they helped each other up and left the scene in dejection.

On the other side, while on the way home, the sound of the system reward rang out in Lin Yi's mind once again.

[Ding! Host has defeated Lin Hong and intimidated the Lin Family juniors, establishing initial fame. Reward: one stalk of Grade Three Spirit Medicine, Fire Blood Ganoderma!]

I can refine more pills for cultivation again.

Teaching my rivals a lesson while gaining cultivation resources—this was definitely worth it!
