34: Lin Haotian, resilient and unyielding

After all, as the Lin Clan Ancestor, he knew Lin Kuang's strength best.

Lin Kuang, born four thousand seven hundred years ago, was the undisputed Prodigy of the Lin Clan in that era.

He possessed the Innate Mad Blood Battle Physique and extraordinary Aptitude.

At just nineteen, he entered the King Sealing Realm, and at twenty-five, he reached the Peak King Sealing Realm, one of the Four Transformations of King Sealing, almost suppressing all the young Prodigies of the entire Ancient Desolate Dao Domain at that time.

It can be said that Lin Kuang's achievements today were built upon the corpses of almost all the young Prodigies of his time.

Although Lin Kuang appeared simple-minded, brawny, and crude, he was definitely not a fool.

After all, if Lin Kuang were truly a fool, he would have been played to death by others thousands of years ago; how could he still be alive today?

It was precisely because Lin Kuang achieved such magnificent accomplishments back then that the old monsters of the Lin Clan specially permitted him to enter the Ancestral Land for slumber.

He was to await the emergence of the Golden Flourishing Age, obtain the Opportunity to become a Saint, advance to a Saint Realm Expert, and become a new Saint Realm Ancestor of the Lin Clan.

He would transform into the Lin Clan's foundation, passing down generation after generation, with the flame of heritage burning eternally, forever protecting the Lin Clan's ancient glory.

"Lin Xiao, oh Lin Xiao, a young man entering the King Sealing Realm at such a tender age, could he be the initiator of this Golden Flourishing Age?"

"The initiators of the previous Golden Flourishing Ages, whenever an Ancient Prodigy appeared, all faded into obscurity."

"If Lin Xiao is the initiator of this flourishing age, then his strength is truly terrifying."

"If this child does not fall, in the future, my Lin Clan will surely gain another Great Saint!"

Old Ancestor Bai Yun looked at Lin Xiao, muttering excitedly to himself.

Even his gaze towards Lin Xiao became fervent.

"Excellent, excellent, such a rare Prodigy, seen only once in a hundred billion years, has actually been born into my Lin Clan."

"The ancient legend that only Ancient Prodigies can achieve the Saint Realm, let my Lin Clan break it!" Old Ancestor Bai Yun chuckled inwardly.

Then he stood up from the main stage and loudly announced: "First round, Lin Xiao wins, Lin Kuang loses, congratulations to Lin Xiao for successfully advancing."

"Now, everyone will rest for five minutes. The second round will begin after five minutes."

"Is this guy named Lin Xiao really from this era? How can he be so strong?" Lin Jiuge murmured, frowning as he watched Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, alright, I've remembered you. You are worthy of being my opponent."

Lin Wuyuan said to Lin Xiao, his thousand-year-old icy expression unchanged... Five minutes later, Old Ancestor Bai Yun's voice echoed through the entire Lin Clan Ancestral Land like an exploding thunderclap.

"Alright, the break is over, the second round begins."

"I announce that in the second round, Lin Caifeng will battle Lin Jiuge."

"It's my turn to go up," Lin Jiuge said with a smile.

He looked at Lin Caifeng beside him, "Shall we go up, my beautiful Young Miss?"

Lin Caifeng's heart sank. She nodded slightly, absentmindedly flying to the center of the competition stage.

As soon as the two appeared, the Aura on the stage became confrontational.

Lin Caifeng's entire body glowed with seven-colored light, and a vibrant Phoenix phantom above her head let out an earth-shattering cry.

"Screech!!!"

Meanwhile, Lin Jiuge's body exuded waves of profound Yin and Yang Qi, and a massive Tai Chi symbol beneath his feet released a terrifying pressure.

It was like the two most primordial states in the world, death and vitality, constantly Reincarnating, endlessly regenerating.

"Is this the power of an Ancient Prodigy?" Lin Caifeng murmured, looking at Lin Jiuge, a sense of powerlessness rising in her heart.

"Here I come, Miss Caifeng, you must be careful," Lin Jiuge said with a smile. As soon as his voice fell, the entire space was instantly sealed by Yin and Yang Qi.

"Yin-Yang Primordial Palm!!!"

Lin Jiuge unleashed a mysterious palm technique, erupting with an unparalleled might akin to an exploding planet, charging towards Lin Caifeng.

Because the space was sealed, Lin Caifeng couldn't dodge even if she wanted to.

Left with no choice, Lin Caifeng could only shout, "Caifeng Immortal Body, True Spirit Bloom!"

In an instant,

Lin Caifeng's body blazed with divine light, and she transformed into a giant Phoenix, forcefully enduring Lin Jiuge's killing move.

However, Lin Caifeng herself fainted as a result.

"A descendant born from the Phoenix Clan and my Lin Clan, not bad, not bad, but still lacking a little something," Lin Jiuge said with a smile.

He walked to Lin Caifeng's side, kicked her off the stage, and with that, the match concluded.

"Second round, Lin Jiuge wins, Lin Caifeng loses, congratulations to Lin Jiuge for successfully advancing."

"Everyone will rest for five minutes. The third round will begin after five minutes," Old Ancestor Bai Yun announced again, standing up.

And Lin Caifeng, like Lin Kuang earlier, was carried away to the depths of the Ancestral Land for healing.

"Damn it, Lin Jiuge is too ruthless! My lovely Miss Caifeng, how could he treat her like that?"

"Damn it, damn it, doesn't Lin Jiuge know how to cherish and protect women?!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's normal for the victor to be king and the loser to be a bandit."

"Exactly, exactly. Although I am a Disciple of Miss Caifeng's lineage, I really don't think there's anything wrong. If you lose, you lose, it's not shameful."

After watching this match, the Lin Clan Disciples throughout the arena once again engaged in a fierce argument.

----

"Alright, the break is over. I now announce that the third round officially begins!"

"In the third round, Lin Wuyuan will battle Lin Haotian. Please, both contestants, take the stage."

Not long after, Old Ancestor Bai Yun's voice rang out.

Two figures with sharp Auras appeared on the stage.

Lin Haotian was enveloped in Sword Qi, like a handsome swordsman upholding justice.

Lin Wuyuan exuded an all-encompassing chill, like an ice emperor.

"You are very good, but your cultivation is a bit lacking. You cannot defeat me," Lin Wuyuan said coldly to Lin Haotian, speaking sparingly.

"I know I am not your opponent, but my dignity does not allow me to surrender to anyone. If you wish to obtain the sequence qualification, then you must defeat me honorably," Lin Haotian said.

Upon hearing this, the icy Lin Wuyuan seemed to reveal a hint of a smile.

"As expected of one with the Innate Sword Bone, I respect your choice. Please, use your full strength."

"Then please, you also use your full strength. I want to know how great the disparity is between me, Brother Xiao, and you Ancient Prodigies."

"Fighting with full strength is my most basic respect for my opponent."

Lin Wuyuan finished speaking, and the entire stage instantly froze into a giant block of ice.

Immediately after, an extremely bone-chilling cold Qi enveloped the entire Lin Clan Ancestral Land.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

Cold winds rose, and snow fell across the sky.

Lin Wuyuan's entire Aura erupted like a bursting flood, surging powerfully.

He pressed down on Lin Haotian.

He loudly said, "You must be careful."
