#8 - The clan competition begins, the first battle is in Linshan

The clan competition was one of the Lin family's grand events.

Today, the entire Lin family was caught up in a flurry of activity.

People came and went before the gates in an endless stream.

In Qingyang Town, the Lin family was considered a prominent family with considerable influence, so naturally, they invited people to attend such a lively event as the clan competition.

As a newly emerging force in Qingyang Town, the Lin family received a great deal of attention, and many people wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of geniuses the younger generation of the Lin family possessed.

Young geniuses often represented the rise and fall of a family for decades to come.

"Lin Yun, hurry up and come out, the clan competition is about to begin!" Lin Xia arrived early at Lin Yun's courtyard, intending to take him to the venue of the clan competition, the Trial Hall.

"Coming, Sister Lin Xia."

Lin Yun changed into a set of smart new clothes, as he always took great care in his appearance before going out, being a socially awkward person.

"Good energy and spirit, perform well in this clan competition, your sister is counting on you."

Lin Xia sized up the neat and tidy Lin Yun, nodding her head in satisfaction.

Two months ago, she had fought Lin Yun to a draw, and now that two months had passed, Lin Yun was probably even stronger. She was looking forward to Lin Yun making a name for himself at the clan competition!

After all, he was someone she had invested in, and with the two sparring sessions they had in this period, Lin Xia felt that her participation had contributed to Lin Yun's growth. The better Lin Yun performed, the happier she would naturally be.

The two of them headed to the Trial Hall. By this time, many people from the clan were heading in the direction of the Trial Hall, and when they saw Lin Xia actually walking alongside Lin Yun, they all revealed curious expressions.

Lin Xia was the Lin family's leading lady of her generation, the leader of the younger generation, while Lin Yun was an orphan who rarely went out and had offended Lin Hong. No one expected them to be so familiar with each other.

Soon, they arrived at the Trial Hall.

"You go inside and take a seat first, I'll go see Father and Grandfather." Lin Xia sent Lin Yun to the entrance and then left.

As the eldest daughter of the family, she also had to greet the guests with Lin Ken and Lin Zhentian.

"Okay!"

Lin Yun nodded and entered the Trial Hall. At this moment, the hall was bustling with activity, and many people had already taken their seats.

Lin Yun casually found a seat and sat down, then quietly surveyed the crowd in the arena.

Before long, his attention was drawn to three people who entered: a middle-aged man with a young boy and a young girl.

The middle-aged man was Lin Xiao, from the third branch of the Lin family.

His appearance attracted the attention of many people. Lin Xiao, once the most outstanding genius of the Lin family, had been in a slump for a long time after being severely injured by Lin Langtian at the clan gathering, and had hardly attended any family events.

His sudden appearance this time surprised many people in the clan.

The young boy following behind Lin Xiao was wearing a black martial suit, with ordinary looks, slightly arrogant eyes, and a resolute face. He was none other than Lin Dong, the chosen one.

The young girl beside Lin Dong was naturally the little loli Qing Tan. Today, Qing Tan was wearing a small green dress, looking delicate and lovely, with a petite figure, two pigtails, and big, bright eyes, curiously looking around.

Little Qing Tan was also very eye-catching, with her jade-like features and charming appearance, no one could resist taking a second look.

"Brother Lin Yun."

Soon, Qing Tan's eyes swept over Lin Yun. She put her little hand on her chest and waved happily at Lin Yun, calling out in a voice that only she could hear.

Lin Yun nodded slightly to her, without responding enthusiastically.

Qing Tan was still young, he shouldn't have any perverted thoughts, so he should maintain a certain distance.

Lin Xiao and the others entered the seating area. When they passed Lin Mang from the second branch, the two sides unpleasantly confronted each other, and Lin Xiao was ridiculed by Lin Mang in front of outsiders.

Seeing his father being wronged, Lin Dong's eyes turned gloomy, and his small fists were clenched tightly, hidden in his sleeves. Little Qing Tan, on the other hand, looked indignant, biting her lip, appearing very unconvinced.

Watching the two children's small actions, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile. At this time, Lin Dong was still very stubborn. Due to Lin Xiao's slump, he had been bullied and ridiculed since he was a child, and his character had some inferiority and unwillingness. At this moment, he was holding back a breath in his heart, waiting to release it at the clan competition, to make a name for himself and slap the faces of those who ridiculed his father and him.

Young people are naive but not lacking in passion.

Just as Lin Xiao and the others had just sat down, a large group of people suddenly poured in at the entrance. Those people were surrounding an old man with a full head of white hair. He was wearing a brocade shirt, giving people a rather tough feeling, and his eyes exuded an air of dominance as they swept around.

The old man was none other than Lin Zhentian, the current head of the Lin family!

Behind Lin Zhentian were Lin Ken and Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was older than Qing Tan and had already grown into a graceful young woman, with a slender figure, standing quietly in the crowd, attracting the attention of many guests.

There were quite a few people who coveted this beloved daughter of the Lin family.

Lin Zhentian entered the arena and greeted the guests on both sides warmly.

When he saw Lin Xiao, Lin Zhentian was slightly surprised, with a complex look in his eyes.

This was his once most valued son, but unfortunately, after being injured, he had become reclusive, which made him feel bad.

The father and son exchanged a few words of greeting.

Lin Xia, who was behind him, looked around, searching for Lin Yun. Before long, she saw Lin Yun sitting in the corner, and she quietly winked at Lin Yun.

As everyone took their seats.

Lin Zhentian gave a brief opening speech and then announced the start of the competition.

Lin Ken was responsible for hosting the clan competition.

"Same old rules, draw lots to determine opponents. All the little ones who want to participate in the clan competition, come out and draw lots."

Lin Ken took out a bamboo box for drawing lots and placed it on the stage.

In the seating area, more than a dozen young boys and girls who had already been eager to try immediately walked out.

Lin Yun also got up to draw lots.

The method of the clan competition was very simple. Randomly draw lots to compete, determine the top five, then draw lots to fight again, and initially get the ranking. The last is the challenge, if you are not satisfied with your ranking, you can challenge the person in front of you and compete for the ranking.

The purpose of the competition is not only to get the champion, but also to let the younger generation show themselves as much as possible.

Lin Yun grabbed one at random and drew number seven.

He needed to fight against the person who also drew number seven.

The competition began, with only five competition stages. The numbers one to five would compete first.

Lin Dong's number was four, and he directly went to the fourth stone platform. His opponent was Lin Changqiang, who was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and also Qing Tan's number one simp.

Lin Dong's strength displayed on the outside now was the fifth level of Body Tempering, which could also crush Lin Changqiang. Without any surprises, with the use of the Tongbei Fist, Lin Dong easily defeated Lin Changqiang, winning a burst of cheers from the girl Qing Tan.

"Numbers six to ten, come on stage." As the first round ended, Lin Ken announced.

Lin Yun stepped onto the second stone platform.

A black-clothed youth also came up.

Lin Yun took a look and was immediately amused, it was actually Lin Shan.

It was really a narrow road for enemies, this little tyrant met Lin Yun in the first round.

At this moment, Lin Shan's face turned black, and he cursed his bad luck in his heart.

Half a year ago, he was not Lin Yun's opponent.

Although he had now broken through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, it was still impossible for him to challenge Lin Yun, and being beaten was inevitable.

As for admitting defeat, no one had admitted defeat as soon as they came up so far, and in front of so many clansmen, Lin Shan couldn't bring himself to admit defeat directly. He was a little tyrant, admitting defeat was admitting weakness, and it was impossible to admit defeat.

Lin Shan gritted his teeth, "Do it."

He, Lin Shan, would take this beating!

Looking at Lin Shan's pale face as he faced Lin Yun on the stage, Qing Tan in the seating area couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and the happy expression had already overflowed from her face.

Even Lin Dong next to her was infected by her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Similarly, many people who disliked Lin Shan were gloating, and some even laughed out loud.

In the seating area, only Lin Mang and his son Lin Hong had gloomy faces, appearing extremely displeased.

On the second stage, after a slight surprise, Lin Yun began to study the mission in his mind.

It was about the same to fight anyone, what he cared about was the reward.

[Mission: Defeat Lin Shan. Reward: A Rank 3 Qi and Blood Pill.]
