8: Brother Lin Fan only needs one move to defeat me!

The sudden sound plunged the Trial Hall into a brief silence.

Immediately, all eyes focused on Lin Dong, eager to see his choice.

Qing Tan frowned and said, "Lin Hong is truly detestable. Grandfather has already announced the Family ranking, yet he dares to question it."

Lin Xiao also frowned slightly, somewhat worried for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong had not displayed much strength during this Family competition, so not only them, but many others did not think highly of Lin Dong.

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Third Uncle, Qing Tan, you don't need to worry. Lin Hong is not Lin Dong's opponent. His challenge to Lin Dong is just asking for humiliation!"

Lin Dong said loudly, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

With that, Lin Dong strode to the side of the stone platform, then leaped onto it.

Seeing this, Lin Hong's expression grew even more sullen. He left his seat directly and quickly ascended the stone platform.

"The match begins!"

Lin Ken announced with a wave of his hand after both were ready.

Lin Hong looked at Lin Dong with a cold expression, saying in a chilly voice, "Lin Dong, next, I will let you know that opportunistic people are destined to be a joke!"

With that, Lin Hong took two swift steps, quickly appearing before Lin Dong, and a fierce palm wind heavily struck towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong said calmly, "It seems you're treating me like a soft persimmon!"

The next moment, Lin Dong also stopped holding back his strength. His Qi gathered in his palm, directly colliding with Lin Hong's palm.

"Bang!"

Their palms clashed, emitting a dull thud.

The next instant, Lin Hong's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, falling off the platform.

Lin Dong, however, stood firmly in place, unmoving like an iron tower!

"How could this be?"

This scene left many in the Trial Hall in disbelief.

It was one thing for Lin Hong, at Body Tempering Seventh Level, to be defeated by Lin Fan with one palm, but now he was knocked off the stone platform by Lin Dong with one palm. What was happening to this world?

"Smack!"

On the seating area, Lin Mang's face changed dramatically. He slammed his palm on the armrest, shattering it, and abruptly stood up, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water!

"This brat..."

Lin Xiao stared blankly at Lin Dong on the stone platform, his expression becoming extremely colorful.

The surprise Lin Fan had given him earlier hadn't fully sunk in, and now Lin Dong had given him another huge surprise!

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Dong's performance, and an uncontrollable ecstasy surged in his eyes once again!

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

Lin Hong, struck again, completely fell into a frenzy. He roared, pushing the Qi within him to its limit, and quickly rushed onto the stone platform again, looking as if he wanted to fight Lin Dong to the death!

Lin Dong frowned, his palms like iron clamps, firmly locking Lin Hong in place, preparing to throw him off the stone platform again.

"Get out!"

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out. It was Lin Mang, who could no longer hold back. He descended from the sky, his large hand like an eagle's claw, grabbing at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was startled and quickly let go, displaying all his strength, which was clearly the Body Tempering Eighth Level Realm!

But he still couldn't avoid Lin Mang's large hand!

"You get out too, don't touch my son!" Lin Xiao shouted, rushing over to block Lin Mang's attack for Lin Dong.

The two exchanged a blow, and Lin Mang was actually shaken off the stone platform!

Lin Ken, who had originally intended to intervene and stop Lin Mang, froze in his steps upon seeing this scene.

On the chief seat, Lin Zhentian, who was about to erupt in anger, had his fury abruptly cease!

Not only them, but the invited guests in the Trial Hall were also shocked by Lin Xiao's formidable strength.

It seemed the Lin Family's strength was about to reach a new level!

Lin Zhentian excitedly leaped onto the stone platform, grabbing Lin Xiao's shoulder. The father and son had an excited conversation, and then Lin Zhentian sternly rebuked Lin Mang before announcing the end of the Family competition.

After Lin Ken had settled the situation, several important figures of the Lin Family gathered in the Lin Family's backyard.

Lin Zhentian sat at the head, his face still showing some anger.

Below him were Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Xiao, and other direct descendants of the Lin Family.

In addition, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Lin Xia, who were the top three in the Family competition, as well as Qing Tan, were also gathered in the courtyard.

Lin Zhentian first reprimanded Lin Mang, then handed over the Blazing Flame Manor, which Lin Mang was responsible for, to Lin Xiao.

Subsequently, Lin Zhentian turned to Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and Qing Tan, his expression immediately brightening considerably, and he said with a smile:

"Today, Lin Fan and Lin Dong both performed exceptionally well. Of course, Lin Xia was also good."

"I will have someone send you the rewards for this competition as soon as possible, and the Family's Martial Art Hall will also be open for the three of you to browse."

"If you need anything, just tell Grandfather. Strive to make another Breakthrough before the Qingyang Town hunt, so that our Lin Family can also gain some prestige in Qingyang Town at that time."

"Thank you, Grandfather!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Lin Xia, all thanked Lin Zhentian in unison.

Suddenly, Lin Zhentian seemed to remember something and said to Lin Dong, "By the way, Lin Dong, the strength you displayed at the end clearly reached Body Tempering Eighth Level."

"Why did you directly concede when facing your brother Lin Fan? Your Realms are the same; a battle between you would have been a good way to temper each other. Perhaps you could have even taken first place!"

"On the Dao of Martial Art, one must have the heart to strive for excellence. Being too modest is also somewhat inappropriate."

Lin Dong scratched his head awkwardly, "Grandfather, you think too highly of me. In front of brother Lin Fan, I'm afraid I would still be defeated in one move, so it wouldn't serve to temper me. That's why I directly conceded."

"What?"

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone in the courtyard was shocked and looked at Lin Fan in unison.

Lin Zhentian grabbed Lin Fan's arm, his expression excited, "Is what Lin Dong said true?"

Lin Fan touched his nose and said, "One move is too exaggerated, within ten moves, perhaps."

Lin Zhentian said in surprise, "Are you already at Body Tempering Ninth Level now?"

"Body Tempering Ninth Level's peak. I was planning to Breakthrough to the Earthly Yuan Realm after the Family competition," Lin Fan nodded slightly, not hiding anything.

"Good, good, good!" Lin Zhentian said three 'goods' excitedly upon hearing this, holding Lin Fan's hand, unwilling to let go.

"Faner, Cultivate well, strive to Breakthrough to the Earthly Yuan Realm before the Qingyang Town hunting competition begins, and raise the prestige of our Lin Family at the competition!"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I will."

Ding! You touched Lin Zhentian and received the Seventh-Grade Martial Art, Five Elements Seal!

At this moment, the System's prompt sounded in Lin Fan's mind again, but he wasn't in a hurry to check this prize.

"Monster!" Lin Xia couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this, feeling quite shocked in her heart.

Lin Xiao's three brothers were also very surprised.

Lin Ken and Lin Xiao were surprised but also delighted; Lin Mang's expression, however, was somewhat grim.

Lin Dong was already strong enough, but Lin Fan was even more exaggerated. With this, where would his son Lin Hong have a chance to shine in the Lin Family?

Lin Zhentian then encouraged Lin Dong and Lin Xia a few more times, and instructed everyone not to reveal Lin Fan's Cultivation to outsiders for now, and to give other forces a surprise at the Qingyang Town hunting competition!

"Alright, everyone disperse!"

After Lin Zhentian finished his last sentence, this small gathering of Family elites ended... During the new book period, please support with various data, adding to bookshelf, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, five-star reviews are all welcome, many thanks~
