"It's time to go out for a walk." After adjusting all his conditions to perfection, Lin Xun sighed softly. Although the sword could hide its sharpness in the sheath, it would still rust if it was not used for a long time.
As for Lin Xun's sword, it had been in the scabbard for a full ten years. If it were any other sword, not only would it rust, but it might even rot. Even the hilt would be covered in spider webs. However, the tempering of these ten years had made his sword even more sharp.
As the saying goes, ten years to sharpen a sword, frost blade has not been tested.
Even if Lin Xun could cultivate and was already known by others, this was still a minority. Moreover, there were still some people who had already fallen into eternal sleep. It could be said that today was the first time Lin Xun had appeared in front of everyone openly.
At the same time, it was also the best time to wash away the infamy that he had carried for ten years. From today onwards, when others talked about Lin Xun, they would no longer say the word trash.
"Dang! Clang! Clang!"
A muffled bell rang from the foot of the mountain. The bell sounded melodious, and the entire Qingyun Town could hear it clearly. This was the power of the Lin family, one of the three major families. This was an announcement that he was going to hold another competition. Not only did the family's inheritance not end, but it was also flourishing. Other than the other two major families, no other force could compete with him.
Lin Xun immediately held his wooden sword and quickly rushed down the mountain. He realized that his figure had blurred. When he looked again, Lin Xun had already disappeared. Floating Light and Shadow was so terrifying.
The Lin Family's Martial Arts Practice Field was quite majestic. The ground was black and was paved with black steel stones. It looked inconspicuous, but it was able to withstand a full-powered attack from a tempered body ninth stage martial artist. There were also many training tools placed on both sides. It was indeed worthy of being one of the three major factions.
At this moment, hundreds of disciples had already gathered. There were even a few figures rushing over from time to time. When Lin Xun arrived, he saw a dense crowd. He immediately found a corner with fewer people.
Speaking of which, this was really the first time Lin Xun had come to participate in such a grand event. After all, he was not even a cultivator before, let alone qualified to participate. Looking at the surrounding disciples who were completely united, Lin Xun felt a sense of laughter. He did not expect that he had not even had a true friend after coming to this world for ten years.
However, when he looked at the wooden sword in his hand, he was certain. He should be a friend of the sword!
They quietly watched the surrounding disciples. It could be said that many people who came here were just going through the motions. As long as they could ensure that they were not the ones who were eliminated, it was fine. Some people did not even come through the motions. After all, as relatives, they had the status to let the Lin family raise them.
"Who do you think will be in the top three this year? Could it be the three from last year? There should be a dark horse, right?"
"How is that possible? The rewards every year are so generous. If he's still overtaken by others, he might as well give me the resources and I'll take over his position.”
"Haha, you? Forget it. It's not like this has never happened before. Last year, Chen Bing suddenly rose to third place. Speaking of which, I admire him. He was originally an itinerant cultivator, but after coming to the Lin family, he suddenly rose to power. He's even stronger than us who grew up here.”
Listening to these people's comments, Lin Xun gradually understood the information of the top three last year. The first place was Qin Ming, the second place was Fan Jin, and the third place was Chen Bing. All of them had other surnames.
Speaking of which, people with the surname Lin were usually servants who had been given a surname or guests who had officially joined the Lin family. They did not have to worry about being kicked out of the Lin family at all. They did not have a sense of danger and naturally were not forced. Therefore, their strength increased slowly. This had to be said to be a kind of tragedy.
However, at this moment, an old figure walked out from the high platform in front of the martial arts field. It was the figure of Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lin Li. At this moment, the other party's face was full of dignity. The moment he stood up, the entire scene instantly fell silent.
After all, Patriarch of Law Enforcement had a lot of power in the family. It was not easy to deal with an outer disciple. Even if you were a relative, no one would help you.
Lin Li glanced around and said indifferently,""Today is the annual outer sect competition of our Lin family. I hope that all disciples will cultivate hard. The family will not lack rewards. As long as you show enough potential, you will be nurtured.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a bamboo tube from his side. There were still many bamboo sticks inside. Then, he continued,"It's still better to draw lots to decide your opponents. Ten people will come up each time and be divided into five groups to fight. The losers will wait at the side until the top three are decided.”
At that moment, Elder Lin Li waved his hand, and the ten people in front really did draw lots obediently. Then, they ran to the stone platform in front of the martial arts field to compete. This gave Lin Xun a great opportunity.
After all, he basically did not have any friends, so he did not have much idea about the opponents he was about to meet. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. If he could understand the other party's information, then the success rate of victory would undoubtedly be much greater. He immediately had a serious expression as he carefully watched.
However, after watching for a while, Lin Xun frowned slightly. Although the people on the stone platform were fighting in name, in Lin Xun's eyes, it was more like child's play. Both sides exchanged blows. Even if they exchanged blows, it was just a clash of weapons.
Their courage could be said to be quite small, just like the group of thieves Lin Xun met a month ago. They could not even compare to Lu Jian. Could this be the Lin family's outer sect disciples? That would be a little disappointing.
He looked at Elder Lin Li again. Although he was expressionless, Lin Xun could still see a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Hehe, this person is definitely going to be eliminated this year. He has already been around for many years. If it wasn't for his connections, he would have left long ago.”
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. Look, Chen Bing has appeared. I wonder how strong he is now?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xun immediately shifted his gaze and saw a serious-looking young man standing on another stone platform. He did not seem nervous at all. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the opposite side. On the other hand, his opponent seemed to be in a rather miserable state.
In response, Chen Bing rushed forward and threw a punch. The opponent hurriedly blocked it, but it was almost useless. In two or three moves, he was already defeated.
"Interesting." Lin Xun was also a little excited. As expected, the top three in last year's competition were strong. This Chen Bing had not revealed her strength at all until now. She did not even use any cultivation method or martial technique when she attacked just now. She must have been hiding her strength.
Moreover, Lin Xun couldn't see the other party's cultivation level clearly. It was obvious that he was an expert. According to Lin Xun's guess, he was at least at the tempered body seventh stage. This kind of expert was enough to make Lin Xun pay attention to him. He just didn't know what the other two would do.
The more he stayed in the training field, the more Lin Xun felt that his choice was correct. After all, not only could he observe the information of his next opponent, but he could also see the martial techniques used by some people. Even if these were all martial techniques of the lower class of the yellow class, after seeing more, he knew how to break them.
In the following period of time, Lin Xun really fulfilled his wish. He got his wish and saw the first and second place of the previous years. Just like Chen Bing, who he had just seen, he defeated his opponent without spending much effort. There were even people who didn't even need to make a move and the other party directly admitted defeat.
Through this information, Lin Xun understood that the difference in combat strength between outer sect disciples was still very large. Then, he analyzed the short emergency move. If he encountered such an opponent, how should he fight them?
Unknowingly, a long time had passed. Lin Xun was completely engrossed in the dismantling technique. Suddenly, a low shout came from beside his ear,"Lin Xun."
