Crazy Move

The Beast Horn Arena was surrounded by tens of thousands of stone seats. Usually deserted, today they were packed to capacity. A sea of black heads stretched all the way to the horizon.

Such popularity was truly befitting of the grandest competition within a hundred-mile radius.

Led by Lin Zhentian, the Lin Clan contingent arrived directly at the very center of the Beast Horn Arena. This was the spot with the best vantage point in the entire arena, offering a clear view of every corner.

Lin Zhentian led the group to sit on a row of stone chairs. Not far from them were the people of the Lei and Xie Clans. However, they merely cast a glance at the Lin Clan members before looking away. No matter how composed they appeared on the surface, they still held a degree of contempt for the Lin Clan, viewing them as mere outsiders.

Naturally, Lin Zhentian had no intention of offering a warm face to such cold shoulders. If he hadn't possessed some means of his own during these years of infighting, the Lin Clan would have long since been driven out of Green Sun Town like stray dogs by the Lei and Xie Clans. Thus, while the Lei and Xie Clans were hostile toward the Lin Clan, the hatred in his heart for them was even more intense.

As the top powers of Green Sun Town took their seats, the atmosphere at the venue grew even more explosive.

Lin Ge sat casually on a stone seat, his gaze fixed on the dense forest where the faint roars of wild beasts could be heard.

Lin Ge did not take these beasts to heart. With his current strength, he did not fear even Lin Zhentian, let alone a group of mindless wild beasts.

Through the battle at the Clan Competition, Lin Ge had gained a vague understanding of his own strength. Today, in this hunting battle, he intended to see exactly where his limits lay.

"Ten years of bitter training; today is the time to verify the results."

The grip on the fine steel sword in his hand tightened involuntarily. A sharp aura radiated from his body without him realizing it, startling the members of the Lin Clan.

"Such a sharp aura. Compared to before the Clan Competition, his strength has likely improved significantly."

Lin Zhentian glanced at Lin Ge from the corner of his eye, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes. The stronger Lin Ge performed, the greater the hope of winning this hunt.

It even brought more hope for entering the inner clan during the Lin Clan's own competition!

As the scorching sun rose higher, Lei Bao stood up. His deep-set eyes scanned the arena, and under his cold, stern gaze, the clamor of the Beast Horn Arena subsided slightly. Within a hundred miles of Green Sun Town, the Lei Clan still wielded considerable pressure.

"Everyone, today is the most lively day in our Green Sun Town. I will not repeat the rules of the hunt. Whoever can collect ten identity tokens will be able to ascend that massive platform. It is there that the true hunting champion will be born."

Lei Bao's low voice, infused with his Yuan Power, echoed throughout the entire Beast Horn Arena, allowing everyone to hear him clearly.

"The tokens have been distributed to all participants. Now, the hunting competition officially begins! All participants, enter the arena!"

"Go."

Lin Zhentian took several tokens from his robes and handed them one by one to the younger generation of the Lin Clan who were participating, his face full of anticipation.

Lin Ge held the black-and-yellow token. A large "Lin" character was carved onto the wooden plaque, surrounded by unique and complex patterns that gave it a mysterious feel.

Just as Lin Ge was looking at the token in his hand, many figures had already leaped into the forest, including those from the Lei and Xie Clans and the Mad Blade Martial Hall.

"Let's go."

Lin Dong took his token, glanced at his father, and leaped into the forest, followed by Lin Hong and Lin Xia.

Lin Ge did not rush into the forest. Instead, he scanned the entire arena and muttered to himself.

"With so many people watching, it will be worthy of my debut battle."

He then leaped up and landed on the branch of a large tree.

Just as Lin Ge entered the forest, several figures flickered around him. They scanned him with wary eyes, seemingly sensing that Lin Ge was not someone to be trifled with, and then dispersed.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the most outstanding disciples of each clan; their judgment is truly remarkable."

Lin Ge did not rush to pursue those who had retreated. After identifying his direction, he headed quickly toward the massive mountain platform in the center of the forest. In any case, all the participants would eventually end up there, saving him the trouble of running around to find them.

The forest, which had been slightly calm, was clearly stirred up by the sudden influx of a large crowd. Beast roars rang out continuously, and faintly, there seemed to be some panicked cries—it appeared some unlucky fellows had encountered fierce beasts they couldn't handle.

Lin Ge moved at a high speed. Without much effort, he was less than ten miles away from the massive mountain platform.

"Stop! Hand over your token!"

Just then, several figures appeared, blocking Lin Ge's path.

They were three youths. The one who spoke was a dark-skinned youth who stared sharply at Lin Ge, while his two companions slowly surrounded him, leaving Lin Ge no chance to escape.

Facing the siege of the three, Lin Ge couldn't help but chuckle. He could tell at a glance that the strength of these three was only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm.

At their age, the seventh level of Body Tempering was indeed considered genius, but in this hunting competition, it was somewhat lacking, as everyone here was a top-tier genius from their respective clans.

Seeing Lin Ge's reaction, the three youths' expressions darkened. A faint luster covered their bodies, and then their Yuan Power surged. They attacked simultaneously, their fists creating gusts of wind, fierce and sharp.

Facing the onslaught of three seventh-level Body Tempering experts, Lin Ge stood his ground. He didn't even draw the long sword in his hand, his gaze filled with disdain as he looked at the three.

The three youths were the future of their clans; they had never suffered such humiliation. Anger flashed in their eyes, and their fist winds became even more ferocious.

Thud, thud, thud~~

Countless fists landed on Lin Ge's body, yet he didn't show even a hint of pain. His face remained calm, and he didn't even move a finger.

"You guy..."

Lin Ge's actions completely enraged the three youths, especially the dark-skinned one, in whose eyes a murderous intent had already emerged.

"Die!"

Unable to endure such humiliation, the dark-skinned youth pulled a short blade from his robes, infused it with Yuan Power, and stabbed fiercely at Lin Ge's heart!

Facing this lethal attack, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ge's mouth, as if he were mocking the dark-skinned youth.

"Clang!"

The short blade met no resistance, successfully piercing Lin Ge's robe and making contact with his skin, but it could not penetrate even a fraction of an inch further.

The dark-skinned youth used all his might, yet he still couldn't advance any further. He felt as if the short blade wasn't stabbing into a human body, but into a massive, indestructible boulder!
