Heavenly Treasure Record!

Wasn't this Tang San's ultimate art from Douluo Continent? He had actually obtained it! Wu Yun was overjoyed!

This came from another world, from a sect called the Tang Sect. It was their greatest sect treasure.

The Heavenly Treasure Record recorded six kinds of martial arts: the internal cultivation method, the Heavenly Mystery Skill;

the hand-training method, the Mysterious Jade Hand; the eye-training method, the Purple Demon Eye;

the grappling method, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon;

the movement method, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track;

and the hidden weapon technique, Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons.

In an instant, the entire contents of the Heavenly Treasure Record appeared in Wu Yun's mind.

Wu Yun could not help wanting to immerse himself in reading it.

"Why are you two holding hands the whole time?"

A sweet, pleasant little girl's voice pulled Wu Yun and Lin Dong back to reality.

Little Qing Tan looked at them curiously. Their hands were still tightly clasped together.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The two hurriedly pulled back their hands and awkwardly glanced at each other.

Fortunately, Luo Tong and Lin Xiao were chatting nearby and were not paying attention to them.

Did he discover my secret? Lin Dong wondered, studying Wu Yun closely. The Stone Talisman had reacted to Wu Yun just now.

The Stone Talisman was Lin Dong's greatest secret!

It was Lin Dong's cheat!

Wu Yun naturally knew all of Lin Dong's trump cards. Seeing Lin Dong's reaction, he immediately understood what Lin Dong was thinking.

He had also felt a sudden heat appear in Lin Dong's palm just now. It was very likely that his system had triggered Lin Dong's Stone Talisman.

He could not help chuckling inwardly as an idea suddenly came to him.

Perhaps he could share the cheat with Lin Dong.

After all, the Stone Talisman's effects were simply too powerful. He wanted it too.

"You have one too?"

Wu Yun spoke softly to Lin Dong, looking at him meaningfully and deliberately keeping his words vague.

I have one too? What did he mean... Could he also have something like the Stone Talisman? Lin Dong's heart trembled.

"You two are acting so weird!"

Qing Tan put a tiny finger to the corner of her mouth. The way these two looked at each other was far too strange.

More importantly, neither of them was paying attention to her, making her feel a little unnecessary.

"The Clan Head is here!"

At that moment, Lin Zhentian entered with a group of people. The Clan Competition was about to begin.

"You should take part in the matches first. We can talk afterward," Wu Yun said to Lin Dong with a smile.

Lin Dong nodded dumbly.

"Father!" Lin Xiao clenched his fists nervously and respectfully greeted Lin Zhentian.

Lin Dong and Qing Tan also hurriedly greeted Lin Zhentian.

"Grandfather!"

"Dong'er, Qing Tan, you've both grown quite a bit taller!"

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Xiao with a complicated expression.

"You finally decided to come out and see me?"

"I'm sorry, Father!"

"It's good that you came out. At least I didn't have to wait until I was in my coffin for you to show up."

Watching from the side, Wu Yun felt somewhat emotional as well. Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, had once been Qingyang Town's number one genius and the Lin Family's hope of returning to the Lin Clan.

However, at the Lin Clan's once-every-ten-years Clan Competition, Lin Xiao had been defeated by Lin Langtian, the Lin Clan's top genius. His meridians had been ruined, and he had become a cripple.

As a result, he had never recovered, drinking heavily year-round and shutting himself inside his room.

This was also why Lin Dong had been so resolute and hardworking from childhood.

"Father, it's good enough that Third Brother came out. There's no need to keep dwelling on it. We have quite a few guests today," Lin Ken, the eldest, reminded him from the side.

Beside him stood a slender girl in fitted clothes, with a graceful figure and long, shapely legs.

Lin Ken's daughter, the Lin Family's eldest daughter—Lin Xia!

Once everyone had taken their seats, Lin Xia sat directly beside them.

"Lin Dong, you have to do your best!"

"Who's this?" She pointed at Wu Yun.

"Wu Yun from the Mad Blade Martial Arts School!"

"Oh, so you're Wu Yun." Lin Xia was startled. She shoved Lin Dong aside and sat down next to Wu Yun.

"I've heard so much about you. I heard that you fought Lei Li. Your cultivation was a layer lower than his, yet you fought him to a draw. You're amazing."

Lin Xia immediately began gossiping.

"Sigh, it wasn't a draw. I was still a little inferior in skill and lost!" Wu Yun sighed. In the original owner's memories, he had indeed fought Lei Li not long ago. At the time, Lei Li had already reached Body Tempering Layer Nine. Relying on the ferocity of the Third-Grade Martial Art, Mad Thunder Saber, and a desperate fighting style, Wu Yun had fought Lei Li to a standstill. In the end, lacking sufficient Primal Force, he had still been defeated.

It was also that battle that made Wu Yun famous.

He became Qingyang Town's most talented youth, second only to Lei Li! "You should be close to breaking through to Body Tempering Layer Nine, right?" Lin Xia continued.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up at those words.

Layer Nine!

Wu Yun was not much older than him, yet he was already about to challenge Layer Nine. Lin Dong became even more convinced... He must have had a fortuitous encounter like me! This made him believe Wu Yun's earlier words even more: You have one too?

"Enough talk. The matches are about to begin. Go get ready!"

Wu Yun cut off Lin Xia's gossip.

At that moment, Lin Ken had already announced the start of the Clan Competition and called for them to go onstage and draw lots to choose their opponents!

"Brother Lin Dong, good luck!"

Qing Tan clenched her little fists and cheered Lin Dong on.

"Don't worry. Lin Dong won't let you down."

Wu Yun said teasingly, but with absolute certainty. "Mm!"

Qing Tan's little face reddened. She felt the same way.

Lin Dong's first match was against Little Black Fatty, Lin Changqiang.

He won easily.

He then faced Lin Yun. On the surface, Lin Yun was currently one of the Lin Family's top talents, second only to Lin Xia and Lin Hong, with strength at Layer Six.

Lin Dong had concealed his true strength, so no one knew about it yet.

Therefore, everyone favored Lin Yun in this match.

Beside them, Qing Tan's soft little hands were tightly clenched, her small face full of worry.

"Don't worry too much. Even if he loses to Lin Yun, that would still be acceptable. After all, he has been cultivating for a relatively short time," Lin Xiao comforted her. Even he did not think Lin Dong could win.

Lin Dong nodded. He was not nervous at all. Before stepping onto the stage, he subconsciously glanced at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun smiled at him and called out loudly, "You don't need to keep hiding your brilliance. When it's time to show it, concealing your abilities will only do more harm than good."

Everyone else turned to look at Wu Yun upon hearing his words.

For a moment, Lin Dong was thrust into the spotlight!

"What a joke. Lin Dong is hiding his abilities? He probably doesn't even know how formidable Lin Yun is."

"That guy isn't from our clan and doesn't understand Lin Yun, so he dares to spout such nonsense."

"If Lin Dong can beat Lin Yun, I'll eat shit upside down!"

The surrounding Lin Family members murmured among themselves, disagreeing with Wu Yun. Lin Mang and the other members of the Second Branch were especially disdainful.

Yet Wu Yun ignored them completely, merely looking at Lin Dong with confidence.

He understands me... Lin Dong smiled and strode onto the competition stage.

After enduring for so long, he had already planned to make a name for himself today.

"Brother Lin Dong won't lose that easily..." Despite the doubts around her, Qing Tan was still somewhat worried.

Because before this, Lin Hong had said that if he won first place in the Clan Competition, he would ask the Clan Head for permission to marry her.

If Lin Dong lost, he would not be able to help her stop Lin Hong!

"Don't worry. He won't lose," Wu Yun said with a smile, comforting Qing Tan.

"Mm!" Qing Tan replied obediently.

"You trust Lin Dong that much?" Lin Xia asked. She too felt that Lin Dong winning against Lin Yun was a bit too much to expect.

"It's not that I trust him. It's that he makes me trust him," Wu Yun said calmly.

"Why? You should have only just met Lin Dong," Lin Xia asked in confusion.

"You don't understand. Though we only just met, he and I have been kindred spirits for a long time!"

Lin Xia rolled her eyes, completely unable to grasp what Wu Yun meant. "You men are so strange!"
