The sudden turn of events caused the expressions of Lei Bao and Xie Qian to sink.
However, the Lin Clan and the Mad Blade Martial Hall were grinning from ear to ear.
After all, Lei Li's strength was not weak; among the younger generation, he could even be considered one of the best.
Because of this, although Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng had chosen to trust Lin Yan, deep down, they still harbored a trace of worry.
But now, after witnessing this exchange between Lin Yan and Lei Li, that trace of worry in the hearts of Lin Zhentian and Luo Cheng had completely dissipated.
After all, if one could win by using a first-grade martial art to resist a second-grade one, how could Lin Yan possibly lose?
"To have such a child, my Lin Clan is truly blessed!"
Lin Zhentian, looking at Lin Yan before him, could not help but sigh with emotion.
While the Fire Python Tiger was important, Lin Zhentian saw even greater potential in Lin Yan!
If he continued to grow at this rate, Lin Yan's future would be far beyond what a mere Fire Python Tiger could compare to!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhentian became increasingly excited, even entertaining the idea of sparing no cost to prioritize all resources toward Lin Yan's cultivation.
"Congratulations, Clan Head Lin."
Luo Cheng also offered his congratulations to Lin Zhentian with a hint of envy.
Even Luo Cheng, watching Lin Yan's increasingly stunning performance, felt a growing sense of covetousness.
"Brother Lei Bao, what do we do now?"
"Are we really going to hand over the Fire Python Tiger and our two manors just like that?"
Xie Qian, standing to the side, grew anxious and asked Lei Bao.
Lei Bao's gaze was gloomy, but he soon comforted Xie Qian: "Do not worry, Brother Xie. I have already taught Lei Li my Lei Clan's fourth-grade martial art, Thunder Light."
"Even if this little beast is talented, he cannot withstand my Lei Clan's fourth-grade martial art."
Hearing this, Xie Qian's eyes lit up, and he finally let out a sigh of relief: "Good, good, good. That is excellent."
The crowd continued to fix their eyes on the stone platform.
At this moment, Lei Li on the stage could no longer withstand Lin Yan's attacks, being forced into a steady retreat under the onslaught.
During another clash, Lin Yan seized the opportunity to land a kick on Lei Li.
Lei Li's body was sent flying like a ball, rolling across the ground in a miserable state.
Just as Lei Li managed to scramble to his feet, Lin Yan kicked him again, sending him directly to the other side of the stone platform.
Lei Li was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.
Struggling to climb up, he finally found an opening to unleash his ultimate move.
He stomped his foot on the ground, barely steadying his body.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he gathered all the Yuan Power in his body into his palm.
As Lei Li's Yuan Power surged wildly, the luster on his palm grew increasingly intense, eventually transforming into a flickering ball of light that pulsed violently in his palm.
"The Lei Clan's Thunder Light?!"
"How did Lei Li learn this fourth-grade martial art?"
Lin Zhentian, Luo Cheng, and the others watching from behind had their expressions change drastically. Having dealt with the Lei Clan for so many years, they naturally knew the power of this fourth-grade martial art, and thus felt a sense of danger for Lin Yan.
"Can Lin Yan handle this martial art?"
"He hasn't learned any fourth-grade martial arts, has he?"
Lin Xia frowned with concern and asked.
"If I had known, I would have found a chance to give the improved Strange Gate Seal to Brother Lin Yan."
"Damn it!"
Lin Dong also felt a pang of regret.
In truth, he had wanted to do so for a long time, but he feared exposing the secret of his Stone Talisman.
That was why he had been so conflicted before.
"Tch, all flash and no substance."
On the other side, facing Lei Li's Thunder Light, Lin Yan curled his lip in disdain.
Following this, he opened his palm and summoned a cluster of purple fire directly from within his body.
This was naturally Lin Yan's Amethyst Winged Lion King Fire!
Although this fire was not a martial technique, the Beast Fire itself possessed immense lethality.
He wouldn't dare say much else, but it was more than enough to crush a mere fourth-grade martial technique.
Thus, after summoning the Purple Fire, Lin Yan flung it directly toward Lei Li.
Lei Li was startled; he had expected to catch Lin Yan off guard with his Thunder Light, yet the man had conjured a fireball out of thin air?
Consequently, Lei Li had no choice but to throw the ball of light in his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two forces collided in an instant.
However, the final result left Lei Li feeling a sense of despair.
The moment the Purple Fire touched the sphere of light, it swallowed it whole without the slightest obstruction.
Lei Li was struck by the fireball on the spot, sent flying through the air, and engulfed in flames!
He could only barely manage to protect his body with Yuan Power while frantically trying to extinguish the fire.
By the time he finally managed to put out the flames, Lei Li had already passed out from his severe injuries.
"He won!"
"Is the Lei Clan's Thunder Light really that fragile?"
"No, it's just that Brother Lin Yan's Purple Fire is too strong."
"Come to think of it, what exactly is that Purple Fire? How could it be so powerful?"
Everyone present trembled at the sight, and Lin Dong, watching from below the stage, could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Hahahaha!"
"Good, good, good!"
"A well-earned victory!"
Lin Zhentian laughed uncontrollably, casting his gaze toward Lei Bao and Xie Qian standing to the side.
"Then I must thank you both for your generous gift!"
Lei Bao and Xie Qian's expressions turned even uglier than if they had eaten excrement.
But with everyone watching, they could not afford to lash out, lest they appear as sore losers.
"Lin Zhentian, you only had luck on your side this time. Don't get too cocky; there will be plenty of time in the future!"
With a violent flick of his sleeves, Lei Bao and Xie Qian threw out a harsh threat before leaving one after another.
"Let's go!"
The matter came to an end.
After the Lei and Xie Families departed, the Lin Clan and the Mad Blade Martial Hall also chose to leave.
After all, they had already filled their pockets during this Hunting War, and now they only wanted to return home to enjoy the joy of victory; as for the Hunting War itself, they had lost all interest.
As soon as Lin Zhentian returned home, he ordered a banquet to be held that night. Having harvested a Fire Python Tiger and acquired the Lei Clan's Ironwood Manor, such good fortune was truly worth celebrating.
Naturally, the star of the banquet was Lin Yan. Everyone knew that if it weren't for Lin Yan, not only would they have failed to obtain the Lei Clan's Ironwood Manor today, but even the Fire Python Tiger might not have been secured.
Therefore, at the banquet, Lin Zhentian did not hesitate to shower Lin Yan with praise: "Lin Yan, today is the day the Lin Clan has felt most proud in all these years! And all of this was brought about by you!"
"I will say it again!"
"In the future, if you have any needs, just ask! Whatever the clan can provide, we will do our utmost to satisfy!"
"For now, I will pass on the Green Origin Technique and the Pure Yang Finger to you."
"I saw you fighting Lei Li today and it seemed you haven't learned any martial arts techniques yet, so the Green Origin Technique can take your strength to the next level!"
"As for this Pure Yang Finger, it is the only Grade 4 martial art of our Lin Clan, and I shall pass it on to you as well!"
