Chapter 118: The Lin Family Competition
The Great Yan County is the most prosperous county in the Great Yan Empire. This is because the capital of the Great Yan Empire is located here. Due to being the center of the empire, all the top forces of the Great Yan Empire are based here, including the four major clans of the empire.
The head of the Lin Clan is one of the few Nirvana Realm experts in the Great Yan Empire, making the Lin Clan's family competition a grand event. Various forces within the empire attend this event, and even the royal family sends representatives.
On this day, Xiao Tian, along with members of the Lin family, arrived in Lin City on a Creation Realm snake-shaped beast with wings. This beast was one Xiao Tian had captured for Qing Lin to help her improve and protect her.
Lin City was vast and magnificent, with city walls hundreds of meters high stretching out of sight. On these walls, numerous elite guards of the Lin Clan stood, each with a long and powerful aura and sharp gazes.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Streams of light streaked across the sky. As they approached Lin City, they descended to show respect to the Lin Clan.
However, Xiao Tian and his group flew directly into the city, ignoring the usual protocol.
"Who are these people, daring to fly straight in?" "They don't seem to be from the four major clans or the royal family. Are they fools?" "Probably used to being kings in their own territory and don't know how to behave in the Great Yan County."
This action immediately drew attention. Most onlookers were eager to see the group punished, believing they lacked the qualifications to fly directly into the city.
On the city wall, the Lin Clan guards also noticed Xiao Tian's group.
"Flying in so boldly, these people have no respect for our Lin Clan!" A young man frowned, ready to act.
However, an elder stopped him, scolding, "Are you looking to die? That's Xiao Tian, the number one prodigy of the Great Yan Empire. He certainly has the right to fly in."
"Xiao...Xiao Tian?" The young man broke out in a cold sweat. He knew the power of this name very well.
From the annihilation of the Wang Clan to the single-handed defeat of a Creation Realm beast in the Great Desolate Tablet, and the destruction of the Yin Puppet Sect, each event was linked to Xiao Tian. Such a fearsome figure was treated with utmost seriousness even by the Lin Clan head. The young man realized intervening could cost him his life.
While the onlookers expected the Lin Clan to punish Xiao Tian's group, they were shocked when the group flew directly into Lin City unopposed. Many began to doubt whether the Lin Clan would even intervene.
Xiao Tian, oblivious to the crowd's thoughts, wouldn't care even if he knew. With his current strength, he could crush the Lin Clan head with just a flick of his finger.
Flying into the city, they headed straight for the center, where a massive coliseum awaited. This arena, covering nearly ten thousand meters, was majestic and could hold a million spectators, embodying grandeur and might. The Lin Clan's family competition was held here.
At this moment, the arena was already packed, a vast crowd buzzing with excitement. As Xiao Tian and his companions arrived, they instantly became the center of attention.
"Hmm?" In the center of the arena, various powerful figures turned their gaze skyward. With their cultivation, they easily recognized the winged dragon-snake as a mid-stage Creation Realm beast. They also saw Xiao Tian, in white, standing on the beast's head with his hands behind his back.
"Xiao Tian?" The Lin Clan head, Lin Fan, immediately recognized him. Observing Xiao Tian, he realized he couldn't see through Xiao Tian's cultivation, assuming he wore some protective artifact. Even so, Lin Fan stood up and respectfully said, "It's an honor to have Xiao Tian attend our family competition, gracing our Lin Clan with your presence."
"I came mainly to accompany my brother-in-law and his family, who are part of your Lin Clan's branch family," Xiao Tian replied with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Fan smiled, "I didn't realize Xiao Tian had such a connection with our Lin Clan."
"Xiao Tian, the competition is about to start. Please join the honored guests' seats," Lin Fan invited. He then instructed an elder, "Take the branch family to the first-class seats."
"Yes, Clan Head," the elder replied.
Xiao Tian waved his sleeve, leading the Lin family members down. Xiao Tian joined Lin Fan and other major power figures, including royalty, while Lin Zhentian and his family were given front-row seats, making other branch family members envious.
Soon, Lin Fan announced the start of the Lin Clan's family competition. With no interference from Lin Langtian, the younger generation of the Lin family from Yan City had varying results, facing manageable opponents. Only Lin Dong progressed steadily; the others, mostly below the Form Creation Realm, managed a win or two at best.
"Yan City branch, Lin Dong, versus Lin Clan, Lin Bei!" A middle-aged voice announced, and both Lin Dong and Lin Bei stepped onto the stage.
Lin Bei bowed slightly to Lin Dong, smiling, "Lin Dong, please guide me."
"Lin Bei, I look forward to our match," Lin Dong replied with a smile.
"Begin!" The middle-aged man commanded, and a powerful Yuan Power surged from Lin Bei. A mid-stage Qi Creation Realm fighter, Lin Bei was considered a genius among the Lin Clan's younger generation.
Facing Lin Bei, Lin Dong remained calm, not revealing his aura.
"Are you looking down on me?" Lin Bei, angered, shouted, "Dragon Elephant Overlord Fist!" A massive dragon elephant appeared behind him as his punch exploded, creating air blasts that left deep pits in the arena.
However, Lin Dong effortlessly neutralized Lin Bei's attack with a wave of his sleeve, then captured him with a simple gesture.
"Ah!" The crowd was stunned by Lin Dong's casual dominance.
