Chapter 16 - Tournament

"Welcome you all to this year's Zheng Zu sect New generation tournament!"

"Yeah!!!!"

"We have the five families of our sect participating, the Yang family, the Wang family, the Lin family, the Yu family, and the Huang family! This year's tournament comes with a big reward! The Elixir of life, a spirit weapon and recommendation for the Zheng martial academy! So now, who will claim victory?!"

"Whoaaaa!!!!"

"Martial academy?"

"Yes, that's the whole point of you winning this match. You have to get in."

*Huh?*

"So now! Let's begin!!!"

*Whoa! These guys are really good.* Xin thought smiling as they fought.

"Ho? Looks like your brother is joining this year's tournament." Hao said, folding his arms.

"Yeah. Now that you mention it, I did hear the Lin family."

"Yeah, your brother is really strong. I never thought he'd be joining this year."

*Even Brother Hao acknowledges him?*

"He's at the early Activation Stage. He should be strong."

"Hmm..."

"The winner of this round. Lin Han from the Lin family."

"They've got quite a string team."

*It's my turn, I can't lose in the first round.* Xin thought, walking into the ring as everywhere became noisy.

"Isn't that Lin Xin, the useless son-in-law for the Yu's?"

"The Yu's have seriously gone low. They even brought someone with a crippled cultivation."

"Haha, he's gone."

"He'll be facing off with the Huang family's power house. Huang Fan!"

*Hmph, what a bunch of snobs.*

"Let's show them."

"You should probably give in, I don't want to kill you." Fan said.

"Shut up and fight."

"I warned you, Lin Xin!!" He shouted, running towards Xin.

"Argh!!" Xin shouted while rolling on the floor.

"Haha, he hit him already."

"What are you doing?"

*If I win right off the bat, they'll know something's wrong.*

"Oh, I get it."

*No, I didn't feel his body. I don't think I hit him!* Fan thought, looking at Xin.

"Oh, Xin." Master Yu called.

He was seated with the leaders of the other four families.

"Hmph." Master Lin sighed.

"Lin Xin, are you belittling me?!" Fan shouted, running towards Xin.

"Sorry man, I'll die if you hit me suddenly." Xin said, kicking him out of the ring.

                              ...🦅...

"Eh?!!!!!!" The crowd shouted.

"Just a kick, and the power house was sent flying!!"

"Oh heavens! Lin Xin actually won?!!"

"Haha ha." Xin laughed while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well done, Xin!" Hao said.

"Thanks."

"We've come down with 2 members each for all 5 families! The game is getting more interesting!!"

"Lin Que from the Lin family has won this round!!"

"The Huang family us out!!"

"Your cousin is really strong."

*Cousin?*

"Now it's Lin Que against Lin Xin!!"

"Yeah, he might have been lucky against the others, but Que is really strong!"

"Yeah, he'll probably fail."

"Lin Xin, my dear cousin. I wonder how it happened, but a little trick won't work on me."

"Okay?*

"I won't have pity on you!!"

"He's not too strong."

"Huh?"

"What?!!!! Lin Que is out for good!!"

"The winner is Lin Xin!!"

*What is the meaning of this tournament? None of these guys are strong.*

"It's because of the pill you took earlier. The spirit lift elixir."

*Whoa, no wonder I feel stronger.*

"You have to win this!"

"Yeah!!"

"Wang family won this round! The match was fierce, but the Yang family just had to go down!!"

"Now, it's just one person each from the Wang and Lin family and two from the Yu family!!"

"Wow, the Yu family finally rose. Even if they fail now, they'll gain some reputation."

"Lin Feng against Yu Hao!"

"Hao... lost!!"

"Hmph, I'm always the best. Losers should fuck off." Feng said, kicking Hao in the abdomen.

"Hey! Stop it he already lost!!" Xin shouted.

"Heh? Shut up, little brother." Feng said, smiling to himself.

"He's Ruthless!!"

"Lin Feng!!" Xin shouted, jumping into the ring.

"Hahaha, finally,  we fight!!" Feng shouted, while laughing.

"Here." Xin said, putting an elixir into Hao's mouth as some guys carried him out of the ring.

"Hmph, show no mercy, Feng!"

"Yes father. Your wish... is my command." Feng said, grinning at Xin.

*Isn't he my dad too, why dies he sound like he doesn't care if I were killed.*

"Isn't it obvious, he doesn't care."

"So that's how it is?"

"I'll show you! You'll regret this, Father!!"

"Hey! I'm your opponent!!"

"I know, I'll end this quickly."

"You wish. After I kill you, I'll take your fiancée ad my bride." Feng said, licking his lips.

"Argh!!!!!" Xin shouted, while running towards Feng.

"Hey, calm down Xin!!"

"You bastard! I won't let you get close to her, she's mine!!"

"Fool!" Feng said.

"Golden lotus kick!!" Feng shouted.

"Argh!" Xin shouted, coughing up blood.

"Lin Xin!" Hao shouted.

"Tch... I got a little angry there and lost my composure. I'll kill you this time." Xin said standing.

"Hmph, I'll love to see you try."

"Zheng Zu fist of five elements." Xin said, running towards Feng.

"Hmph, petty trick!" Feng said, shifting Xin's hand to the left.

"Tai chi sword play." Feng said.

"Argh!! I'm not done yet!!" Xin said.

"Eight trigrams palm strike!!!" He shouted.

"What?!!"

"Argh!!!!" Xin shouted, still hitting Feng.

"That's enough!! Lin Xin!!" Master Lin shouted, standing up immediately.

*He's not listening to me?!!*

"Xin!!!!" Master Yu shouted.

"Huh?" Xin asked, getting back his senses.

"Th-the winner of this year's tournament is Lin Xin!!!!"

"He won? He really won!!"

*I... did it.* Xin said, falling on the floor.

"Xin!" Hao shouted, running towards him.

"Haha." He laughed.

*Please, one more of the Elixir for replenishing spiritual energy.*

"Finally." He said, throwing the elixir into his mouth.

"Xin, you won!"

"Yeah, I did."

"Come on, go get your reward."

"Yeah."
