Soon, Lin Hong and Lin Xia stepped onto the arena.
As for the referee, he let out a shout once he saw that both had successfully taken the stage.
"The match begins!"
The expressions of the two immediately grew a bit more solemn.
Lin Hong in particular, upon hearing the referee's voice, let out a low shout on the spot and, without a word, directly revealed his strength.
"Ha!"
A faint luster emerged from Lin Hong's body.
Following this, a powerful aura surged rapidly from within Lin Hong's body.
"Sister Lin Xia, my apologies, but my goal this time is not you."
"So, let's end this battle quickly."
Lin Hong said, glancing indifferently at the Lin Xia before him, clearly brimming with confidence in his Seventh Layer of Body Tempering strength.
Yet, in the next second, Lin Xia completely shattered his confidence.
An even stronger aura surged directly from Lin Xia's body. After a rough sensing, the people around quickly realized that this was the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering.
"Mm. Then, let's end the battle quickly."
The two soon stepped forward and clashed in fierce combat.
Once this fierce battle began, Lin Xia held the absolute advantage, directly crushing Lin Hong.
Lin Hong was beaten back repeatedly, and in the end, he was easily defeated by Lin Xia and knocked off the stage.
"I... actually lost?"
Lin Hong still found it hard to accept this reality even after his defeat.
Lin Xia, however, could not stand Lin Hong's previous arrogance, so she not only defeated him with an absolute advantage but also delivered a soul-crushing remark at that moment.
"You can't even beat me, yet you want to win against Lin Yan?"
"Lin Hong, you are truly delusional."
Lin Xia turned and left quickly.
Lin Hong, sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, looked as if he were doubting his very existence.
The words Lin Xia said before leaving kept repeating in his mind.
"You can't even beat me, yet you want to win against Lin Yan?"
"According to what Lin Xia meant, Lin Yan is even stronger than her?"
"That's impossible!"
"A mere Lin Yan could never have grown to that extent!"
Lin Hong had suffered a massive blow, and his face turned extremely gloomy.
On the other side.
After watching this bout between Lin Xia and Lin Hong, even Lin Zhentian was filled with joy.
After all, the surprise Lin Xia gave him this time was truly too great.
He had not expected that she would reach the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering at such a young age.
It seemed she was the number one among the younger generation of the Lin Clan!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhentian cast his gaze toward Lin Ken and said with a satisfied face, "Lin Ken, you have raised a good daughter!"
Lin Dong was also very surprised by the strength Lin Xia had just displayed; after all, even his own strength at this moment was only at the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering.
Therefore, even he did not have absolute certainty of winning against Lin Xia.
But if it were Brother Lin Yan...
It's really hard to say.
Lin Dong muttered to himself in his heart.
Lin Xia was strong, but Brother Lin Yan was the same.
Because of this, Lin Dong became increasingly expectant of the upcoming match between Lin Yan and Lin Xia.
The Clan Gathering continued.
And later on, the match everyone had been looking forward to the most finally began.
Lin Yan versus Lin Xia!
Although everyone believed Lin Xia would win this match after the previous battle, they were also very curious: what exactly was the full strength of Lin Yan, who had never gone all out before?
Therefore, at this moment, upon hearing the referee call out the names of Lin Yan and Lin Xia, everyone's eyes became somewhat excited.
Lin Xia and Lin Yan quickly took the stage.
Lin Xia stepped onto the stage and looked at Lin Yan with a smile. "So, I can finally test your limits now, can't I, little brother Lin Yan?"
Lin Yan cupped his hands and laughed, "Please go easy on me, Sister Lin Xia."
However, Lin Xia did not believe his nonsense for a second.
Without another word, she unleashed her strength at the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering and launched a fierce, violent assault toward Lin Yan.
She showed no mercy at all; even a discerning eye could see that the attacks Lin Xia unleashed against Lin Yan were even stronger than those she had used against Lin Hong earlier.
This was mainly because Lin Xia had always believed that Lin Yan's strength surpassed her own, so she felt she could naturally go all out when facing him.
"Sigh, Sister Lin Xia, you really are ruthless."
Lin Yan sighed helplessly at the sight.
Yet, he dodged her attacks with ease.
Lin Xia raised an eyebrow and launched an even more ferocious offensive, but the outcome remained unchanged.
"As I thought."
"Little brother Lin Yan, you really are hiding your true depth!"
Lin Xia was now completely certain of her previous suspicions and realized more clearly than ever that she was no match for Lin Yan.
She went straight for her finishing move, pointing a finger as a powerful sword aura shot toward Lin Yan like a bullet.
"Spirit Sword Finger."
But even this was easily dodged by Lin Yan.
Before she could launch another attack, Lin Yan quickly stepped forward and intercepted her.
"I lose."
"Little brother Lin Yan, you really are a freak."
Lin Xia exhaled and said helplessly.
After these few exchanges, the gap in their strength was already obvious.
Thus, she simply conceded.
However, this scene left everyone present stunned.
They had thought Lin Xia's strength at the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering was already impressive enough.
They never expected that she wouldn't even be able to land a single hit on Lin Yan.
Just how strong was Lin Yan? The Ninth Layer of Body Tempering?
That was simply outrageous!
"It really is like this."
"Lin Yan's strength is even greater than Lin Xia's?"
Below, Lin Hong was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing Lin Xia, who had easily defeated him, rendered utterly powerless in Lin Yan's hands, Lin Hong realized that Lin Xia hadn't been lying.
Recalling his own arrogance from earlier, he suddenly felt ridiculous.
"So, the foolish one was me all along."
Lin Zhentian sat in his seat, his face full of excitement; when he looked at Lin Yan, it was as if he were looking at a priceless treasure!
"Good, good, good!"
"My Lin Clan is blessed!"
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had thought Lin Xia was a big enough surprise this time, but he hadn't expected Lin Yan to bring him an even greater one.
Therefore, Lin Zhentian had already made a decision in his heart: from this day forward, he would cultivate Lin Yan with the utmost care. It was very likely that he was the new hope of the Lin Clan!
"It really is as I thought."
"Brother Lin Yan won."
Lin Dong wore an expression that said he had expected nothing less.
He had long had a premonition that Lin Yan would win, and the result was indeed so.
But one thing made Lin Dong feel quite regretful: he still hadn't seen Lin Yan use his full strength.
This only made the curiosity in Lin Dong's heart grow even stronger.
"Even Sister Lin Xia couldn't force Brother Lin Yan to use his full strength."
"Could it be that Brother Lin Yan has truly reached the Earth Origin Realm?"
