The Outcome Isn't Decided by Words!

Before long, Lin Yi discovered a round, plump figure climbing up onto the stone platform where he stood, a look of distress on his face.

"Lin Changqiang, looks like your luck is pretty bad," Lin Yi teased with a laugh when he saw the plump figure.

Lin Changqiang said helplessly, his face fallen, "No one has worse luck than me."

Although Lin Changqiang didn't know what level Lin Yi was currently at, he knew that a few months ago, Lin Yi had already been able to defeat Lin Hong with a single punch when Lin Hong was at the Body Tempering Sixth Level!

As for him, he had only reached the Body Tempering Fourth Level even now. If he fought Lin Yi, he would only be asking for a beating.

Lin Yi smiled. "Are you surrendering on your own, or do you want me to knock you off?"

"If I surrender without putting up a fight, my dad won't let me off when I get back. But, Brother Lin Yi, could you go a little easy on me? And could you avoid hitting my face?"

Lin Changqiang said helplessly, his tone full of grievance.

At that moment, Lin Ken saw that the first batch of Lin Family juniors had all taken the stage. He waved his hand and shouted, "The Clan Competition begins!"

As soon as Lin Ken's voice fell, the atmosphere inside the Trial Hall suddenly boiled over.

Figures flashed across the other four stone platforms as well, and the contestants quickly began fighting.

Seeing this, Lin Yi said to Lin Changqiang, "All right, we should start too. You make the first move!"

"All right, Brother Lin Yi. I'm attacking!"

Lin Changqiang gave an answer, shook his body, and took a step forward. His round-ball-like body shot toward Lin Yi, moving surprisingly fast.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Changqiang was in front of Lin Yi.

His thick right leg lashed out at Lin Yi with astonishing speed. It was none other than the first-grade martial technique, Stone Splitting Leg.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and turned his body slightly, avoiding Lin Changqiang's thick right leg. At the same time, he rushed forward and grabbed Lin Changqiang by the shoulder with his right hand.

"Off you go!"

Lin Yi threw him hard with his right hand. Lin Changqiang's plump figure instantly became a flying man, soaring rapidly off the stone platform.

"Ah..."

Lin Changqiang cried out in fright, flailing all four limbs.

"Thud!"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Changqiang landed on the empty ground beneath the stone platform, falling squarely onto his rear.

After his fright passed, Lin Changqiang found that he hadn't suffered any injuries. He stood up, rubbed his backside with one hand, and complained, "Brother Lin Yi, you scared me to death."

Lin Yi smiled faintly. "How about coming back up? I'll use a different method."

"No, no, I'm surrendering!" Lin Changqiang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Lin Yi wins!"

Beneath the stone platform, Lin Ken shook his head with some amusement and announced the result of the match.

Lin Yi was just about to leave the stone platform when he suddenly sensed someone watching him. He turned his head and saw that it was Lin Hong.

Lin Hong had also won easily. When his gaze met Lin Yi's, a hint of provocation appeared in his eyes.

Lin Yi couldn't be bothered with him. He turned and looked toward Lin Dong's stone platform. As luck would have it, Lin Dong's opponent was actually Lin Shan.

Lin Shan had been brutally beaten by Lin Yi several times and had planned to recover his pride by finding it on Lin Dong. However, he soon discovered tragically that he couldn't beat Lin Dong either.

Perhaps influenced by Lin Yi, Lin Dong also beat Lin Shan until his face was swollen like a pig's head.

Inside the Trial Hall, everyone burst into laughter when they saw Lin Shan's appearance.

Lin Shan's father, Lin Mang, had an expression as dark as iron.

However, none of this affected the progress of the Clan Competition.

There were two matches in the first round of the Clan Competition. Lin Yi's second opponent was one of Lin Shan's lackeys. The moment he saw Lin Yi, he chose to surrender without the slightest hesitation.

Thus, Lin Yi easily passed the first round and entered the top ten of the Clan Competition.

Lin Yi wasn't the only one. Lin Dong and Qing Tan also entered the top ten.

Everyone inside the Trial Hall was somewhat surprised by this sight, and they couldn't help repeatedly glancing toward Lin Xiao.

Watching his children's performance, Lin Xiao was in an excellent mood, a smile remaining on his face the entire time.

While everyone harbored different thoughts, the second round of the Lin Family's Clan Competition soon arrived.

Lin Dong's opponent was unexpectedly that same person called Lin Yun. After a fierce struggle, Lin Dong won and successfully entered the top five!

After Lin Dong, Qing Tan also defeated her opponent and entered the top five.

Soon, it was Lin Yi's turn to take the stage. His opponent was none other than Lin Hong, with whom he had a grudge.

"Your good luck ends here!" Lin Hong looked at Lin Yi opposite him, his expression icy.

"Next, I'll defeat you completely in front of everyone and wash away the humiliation from several months ago!"

Lin Yi smiled faintly. "The outcome isn't decided by words!"

"Begin the match!"

At that moment, Lin Ken saw that the two had taken their positions and directly waved his hand, shouting in a deep voice.

The instant Lin Ken's shout fell, a faint glow surged across the surface of Lin Hong's body. That was Yuan Power.

"Eight Desolations Palm!"

Light flickered across Lin Hong's body. His gaze was cold as he charged forward, both palms sweeping out with astonishing force.

Endless palm shadows descended toward Lin Yi, accompanied by deep, ripping sounds of wind across the stone platform. The display looked rather extraordinary.

"Body Tempering Seventh Level..."

Seeing the relatively dense glow around Lin Hong, many people inside the Trial Hall cried out in amazement.

Being able to reach the Body Tempering Seventh Level at his age showed that Lin Hong's potential was quite good.

In the seats, Lin Mang's expression improved considerably as he watched Lin Hong's performance. His eyes remained fixed on the stone platform, looking forward to Lin Hong defeating Lin Yi and restoring his reputation.

As the target of Lin Hong's attack, Lin Yi's expression remained calm. Yuan Power also surged with a glow around his body.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Lin Yi assumed a stance and swung both fists. Sharp, crisp sounds immediately rang out across the stone platform.

"Bang!"

When fist and palm collided, Lin Hong suddenly felt intense pain shoot through both arms. Two powerful forces spread up along his arms, reaching his shoulders and even his internal organs in the blink of an eye!

"Ah!"

Lin Hong shouted and tried with all his strength to steady himself. However, he was unable to control his body as the powerful rebound sent him flying like a kite with its string cut!

After staggering one final step, he fell off the stone platform in a sorry state, landing face-first in the dirt!

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterward, Lin Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.

"Hiss..."

At this sight, a chorus of sharp inhales rang out throughout the Trial Hall.

No one had expected Lin Hong, who had already broken through to the Body Tempering Seventh Level and had excellent odds of taking first place in the Clan Competition, to be defeated by Lin Yi—and so cleanly and decisively at that!

Did that mean Lin Yi's cultivation had reached the Body Tempering Eighth Level, or perhaps even higher?

"Good... very good!"

Lin Zhentian abruptly rose to his feet and gazed at the youth on the stone platform, his expression filled with excitement and delight.

Only after a moment did he sit back down, though his excitement still couldn't be restrained!

"It was still only one move!"

Beneath the stone platform, Lin Xia widened her eyes in shock and gently patted her ample chest as she murmured.

"As expected of Third Brother's son..."

Beside Lin Xia, Lin Ken also spoke slowly, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Lin Yi.

For a time, the entire venue was filled with praise for Lin Yi.
