30: Sequence of Battle - Halftime

After a brief exchange, Lin Xiao, accompanied by his father Lin Changtian, arrived at the Lin Clan Ancestral Land.

He was waiting for his own match.

After three days of selections, the Lin Clan's initial sequence battle was now drawing to a close.

Above the arena, endless Daorhyme divine light enveloped it. Six youths with majestic Auras stood on the arena, their brows like swords, looking down on all competitors.

However, what no one noticed was that while there was joy in the eyes of these six, there was even more fear.

It was a fear stemming from being constantly suppressed by the three top Prodigies within the Clan.

They would never forget how their once-proud talent was utterly shattered in front of those three individuals.

Like sifting sand, they were the six strongest individuals selected from the Lin Clan, apart from the most exceptional Prodigies.

"Alas, it's still a bit lacking. In this sequence competition, besides Lin Xiao, Lin Caifeng, and Lin Haotian, I'm afraid few others can exchange more than a few moves with those three terrifying individuals."

With an Aura like thunder, an Elder who was awe-inspiring without being angry looked at the six selected individuals on the arena, shaking his head slightly and sighing.

He was a reclusive Half-Saint Ancestor of the Lin Clan.

He had initially thought that this selection, apart from the strongest Prodigies of the Lin Clan, might just manage to uncover a few Prodigies who had hidden their strength.

Now it seemed he had overthought it.

Although these six could be considered exceptionally talented, when compared to the three top individuals of the Lin Clan, they were still far from comparable.

Not to mention the three little monsters who had just awakened from their slumber.

"Strange, why haven't those Ancient Prodigies come out yet?"

Looking at the large crowd surrounding the Ancestral Land arena, Lin Xiao sat on a high platform, casually glancing around, feeling a bit puzzled.

"That Lin Xiao's talent is truly terrifying. I wonder if he's a match for those three so-called Ancient Prodigies."

Lin Haotian concealed his entire Aura, hiding among the crowd, and muttered as he watched Lin Xiao.

"It's time for me to make my appearance. I want to see just how formidable those three individuals, whom Father spoke of so mystically, truly are."

In her Cultivation room, Lin Caifeng whispered to herself, her entire body radiating five-colored divine light, manifesting a colorful Divine Phoenix that exuded supreme Divine Might.

After a long while, the divine light dissipated, and a white-haired old woman appeared beside her.

She respectfully said, "Congratulations, Young Miss, on another step forward in your Cultivation. It's getting late, it's time to go to the Ancestral Land."

"Hmm, let's go," Lin Caifeng said indifferently, then led the old woman towards the competition grounds.

"Congratulations to you six for qualifying for the sequence promotion."

"Next, the mid-stage of the sequence contention battle will continue. Now, there are only two paths before you."

"The first path: challenge the six most exceptional Prodigies of my Lin Clan. If you succeed, you can obtain the sequence qualification in their hands and become a Family sequence member of my Lin Clan, enjoying endless resources."

"The second path: keep your current ranking, give up the challenge, and leave early to collect your preliminary round rewards."

"You have ten minutes to make your choice."

Above the arena, a middle-aged Elder of the Lin Clan said to the six successful young qualifiers.

As soon as his voice fell, three magnificent figures, exuding immense pressure, suddenly descended onto the arena.

They were precisely Lin Xiao, Lin Haotian, and Lin Caifeng.

As the three appeared, the entire venue's passion was instantly ignited.

Below the arena, cheers erupted one after another.

"Ah ah ah ah ah, it's Young Lord Lin Xiao, he's so handsome! I want to bear little Lin Xiaos for him!"

"Oh my god, it's Miss Caifeng, she's become even more beautiful!"

"Young Master Haotian isn't bad either; with his Innate Sword Bone, his proud and upright Aura is simply too handsome!"

"I still think Young Lord Lin Xiao is handsomer. Look at his eyebrows, look at his lips, they're simply too good-looking!"

"Young Lord Lin Xiao, I love you to death! But can you please not be so strict about gender!"

"Holy cow, brother, you really dare to say that! I admire you, I truly admire you."

"What's there to be afraid of? Young Lord Lin Xiao has changed so much since he returned from outside. He's simply the dream lover of countless young men and women in our Clan!" The people below the arena loudly discussed.

In contrast, the six young Lin Clan Disciples who had just won on the arena did not feel as good.

A slight cold sweat appeared on their foreheads as they looked at Lin Xiao and the other two, feeling extremely nervous, unsure whether to go up or not.

After all, in their daily lives, the pressure Lin Xiao and the other two put on them was simply too immense.

Moreover, their Elders always liked to compare them to Lin Xiao and the others for no reason.

Under such constant influence, Lin Xiao and the others had already become the 'children from another Family' in the mouths of these six's elders; it would be strange if they didn't feel pressured.

Looking at the six nervous individuals, Lin Haotian's face showed no expression.

Lin Caifeng, however, frowned slightly, muttering to herself.

"These six's strength is too weak, aren't they? Can't they just get down quickly? What a waste of time."

After waiting for a moment, she finally couldn't help but speak, but before she could, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up from the side.

"If you want to go up, then go up. Losing is not shameful," Lin Xiao said with a slight smile.

Before his Transmigration, he had always dreamed of being a teacher, but for various reasons, it never came true.

So now, seeing this scene, Lin Xiao couldn't help but offer a casual word of comfort.

He had thought it wouldn't have much effect, but to his surprise, as soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking,

the six people on the arena instantly became full of Battle Intent, as if they had been injected with a stimulant.

Their eyes, as they looked at Lin Xiao, were filled with admiration, respect, and conviction.

"Young Lord Lin Xiao, thank you for your guidance. In fact, for a long time, I've wanted to fight you, but I never had the opportunity."

"So today, I am very happy to be able to stand here. Although I know the outcome will definitely be a loss, I still want to have a proper fight with you, Young Lord."

Among the six, a young man about 1.7 meters tall stepped forward, his eyes shining with golden light as he looked at Lin Xiao, speaking excitedly.

His name was Lin Fei, an ordinary Disciple within the Lin Clan, as ordinary as could be, without any special Physique or Bloodline.

Honestly, no one in the Family had expected him to reach this point.

"Good, I accept your challenge," Lin Xiao was startled for a moment, then quickly replied with a smile.

After they finished speaking, the other people on the arena all retreated, making way for the two.

Although the outcome was undoubtedly Lin Xiao's victory, countless people in the audience still cheered for the young man named Lin Fei.

"You're very good, keep it up!"

"If you keep working hard, there might even be a place for you on the future Saint Road."

After the young man stepped down, Lin Xiao said to him.

Although this young man's talent was not high, Lin Xiao sensed a hint of determination in his eyes.

The determination to forever climb to the peak.

If given the chance, this young man had a great opportunity to condense his own Dao Heart.

His own Dao-seeking Heart.
