#34 - My stupid Odoudou

Lin Yun and Lin Dong had sparred many times before, but recently, both of them had been focused on their own cultivation in order to break through to the Earth Yuan Realm.

They hadn't exchanged martial arts insights for almost two months.

Now, they were directly facing off in the finals of the hunting competition.

For Lin Dong, this was a chance to defeat Lin Yun fair and square.

Lin Yun-ge, this time, prepare to be amazed by me... Lin Dong's heart grew even more excited. Driven by Lin Yun, he cultivated even more diligently and earnestly. Now that two months had passed, even he didn't know how much he had improved.

In short, this time, he was confident he could shock Lin Yun!

“Pa! Pa! Pa… …!”

“Pa — — —”

When they started, they both used the Tong Bei Fist, testing each other's Yuan Power. However, Lin Dong's Tong Bei Fist was still about the same as before, delivering resounding power in rapid succession.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, was constantly 'pa-ing' without the slightest pause, and his resounding power was continuous, like the endless flow of a great river.

Since he had promised to guide him, Lin Yun didn't unleash too much power, suppressing his Yuan Power to the early stage of the Earth Yuan Realm.

“Lin Yun-ge's Yuan Power is about the same as mine. It seems he didn't break through much earlier than me. Since Yuan Power can't suppress me, you won't have a chance with martial arts.” Lin Dong assessed Lin Yun's Yuan Power and couldn't help but feel a secret joy.

What he was most worried about was surpassing Lin Yun in martial arts but being suppressed by his Yuan Power. That would have been too regrettable.

After all, Yuan Power was the foundation. With enough power, one could break through all techniques. If the power wasn't enough, even the most exquisite martial arts would seem flashy but impractical.

“Lin Dong, little brother, show me some new tricks. We've exchanged these moves many times already. You're no match for me.” Lin Yun deliberately provoked.

“Then, Lin Yun-ge, please excuse me!”

Lin Dong took a deep breath, his face flushed with excitement. His hands moved, nimbly and quickly forming a series of complex seals.

As his hand seals rapidly changed, deep blue Yuan Power condensed in Lin Dong's palm, forming a blue light seal. Then, he suddenly raised his palm and blasted it towards Lin Yun.

The moment Lin Dong's hands began forming the seals, Lin Yun already knew what he was going to do.

The second level of the Qimen Seal? My foolish otouto, you're rejoicing too early… Lin Yun smiled, “I hope the blow won't be too hard on you.”

He also formed hand seals, but his were more complex and smoother than Lin Dong's.

As the blue light seal appeared in Lin Dong's palm, a larger, more solid ice-blue light seal also successfully emerged in Lin Yun's palm.

He also used the Qimen Seal, second level!

However, his second level had already reached the Great Completion stage, while Lin Dong had only just entered the door. The gap was huge.

“Boom!”

In a flash, the two palms met, and the two light seals collided.

A powerful Yuan Power fluctuation erupted in the arena, and the fierce force transformed into a blue shockwave that swept out.

Accompanied by a deafening roar and the blue aftershocks like a hurricane, Lin Dong's body flew into the air like a kite with a broken string.

“How could this be?”

In mid-air, Lin Dong's expression seemed to freeze. The excited flush on his face receded, turning pale, and the light in his eyes gradually faded along with the weightlessness of his body.

Bang!

Lin Dong landed heavily on the ground, the pain in his tailbone waking him from his shock.

“Why?”

“Why can't I still beat him?”

Lin Dong muttered to himself as he fell off the giant platform, becoming a broken record. The pain in his butt seemed to be covered by the pain of the blow he had suffered in his heart.

He couldn't understand. He had resources, the help of the Stone Talisman's light and shadow, and he could deduce the second level.

Moreover, he had clearly worked very hard?

But why was Lin Yun's Qimen Seal still more powerful than his?

He lost.

Lin Dong stood there blankly, wondering what went wrong.

“Lin Yun wins!”

“The first place in this hunting competition, Lin Yun!”

On the giant platform, the referee announced loudly.

“Hiss, that palm just now, such a strong power, I'm afraid even a strong person in the mid-stage of the Earth Yuan Realm might not be able to block it.”

“What kind of martial art is that? Judging by its power, it's definitely a fourth-grade or higher.”

“Strange, isn't the Lin family's fourth-grade martial art the Pure Yuan Finger? When did they get a new fourth-grade martial art?”

“At such a young age, not only did he break through to the Earth Yuan Realm, but he also learned a fourth-grade martial art. Such talent is simply monstrous.”

“I felt sorry for Lei Li before, but now it seems that whether he has Lei Li or not doesn't affect the final result. Compared to them, Lei Li is like the glow of a firefly.”

The Earth Yuan Realm experts of the major forces all looked at Lin Yun and Lin Dong with shocked expressions.

Except for those in the late stage of the Earth Yuan Realm, the others in the early and middle stages of the Earth Yuan Realm felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, because they realized that even if they faced Lin Yun, they would most likely not be his opponent.

“Qimen Seal, it's our Lin family's Qimen Seal.”

“But, how can the Qimen Seal have such a powerful power? That's clearly just a third-grade martial art.”

… … …

The Lin family members were also dumbfounded. Those who were familiar with the two of them felt a little strange at this moment.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ Book ⊥ Bar ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

It was so powerful that it exceeded their understanding.

Especially Lin Hong, he couldn't imagine how a person could improve so quickly.

Lin Xia's beautiful eyes shone, and she suddenly remembered that the two of them had chosen the Qimen Seal at the same time. She had asked them the reason, and Lin Yun and Lin Dong had said they wanted to try to complete it.

At that time, Lin Xia had found it ridiculous and whimsical. That was a third-grade martial art, how could it be casually completed? It would be good enough if they could learn it.

“Now it seems that they really did it. These two guys are really martial arts geniuses!”

Qing Tan sighed and shook her head, “Lin Dong-ge got beaten up again. Why does he always like to fight with Lin Yun-ge when he clearly can't beat him?”

She admitted that Lin Dong had improved a lot.

But he can't compare to Lin Yun-ge, okay!

Several task completion notification sounds popped up in his mind. Lin Yun didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. Now it was important to comfort his otouto, lest he become autistic from the beating, otherwise how would he continue to farm tasks in the future.

Lin Yun jumped off the giant platform and went straight to Lin Dong's side.

“Are you okay? It's all my fault, I didn't control my strength well.”

Lin Yun helped Lin Dong up, looking slightly self-reproachful.

“I'm fine, Lin Yun-ge. It's just that my skills are inferior to yours.” Lin Dong said in a low voice.

“How can your skills be inferior? Lin Dong, you're too amazing. You're simply a genius. You can even come up with such a wonderful seal technique. You're too amazing. I didn't expect you to really do it and complete the Qimen Seal!”

Lin Yun excitedly patted Lin Dong's shoulder heavily, forcibly pulling him out of his low and lost mood.

“What do you mean, Lin Yun-ge? Didn't you also use the second level of the Qimen Seal just now?” Lin Dong looked at Lin Yun in confusion… completely unable to understand why he was praising him.

“So I have to thank you. I've been cultivating the Qimen Seal all this time, racking my brains, and I always felt like I was touching something, but I was always missing that little bit, and I couldn't find the key. Just now, when I saw the third movement of your hand seals, I immediately understood. So that was the subsequent seal technique of the Qimen Seal. I was almost able to figure it out before, but unfortunately you did it first.”

Lin Yun felt a little regretful, and then said excitedly.

“At the critical moment, I had a whim and learned your technique to perform it. Unexpectedly, that feeling was like I had experienced it countless times in my dreams. It was incredibly smooth, and I succeeded in one try.”

Lin Dong pursed his lips, “So, after watching my seal technique, you learned it on the spot and then performed the second level.”

“Yeah, otherwise?” Lin Yun said as a matter of course, “That's why I said you're a genius.”

Then he looked at Lin Dong reproachfully, “Didn't we agree to communicate together after comprehending it? You didn't tell me in advance, which made me think so hard.”

“I… …” Lin Dong felt like he didn't know what to say.

He was the one who was beaten up, but how did it feel like Lin Yun-ge was the one who was wronged?

He had only just learned the second level, and he had planned to use the second level to defeat Lin Yun before teaching it to him.

Now he had actually learned it after watching it once.

Moreover, he learned it better than himself. There was no need for him to teach him, and he even needed to ask Lin Yun for advice.

Lin Dong had a feeling of swallowing a bitter pill.

Here's a chapter first, and there will be another update tonight!
