The voice was like a great bell, waking Lin Xun up. He looked up and saw Elder Lin Li's serious face, as well as the faint anticipation in his eyes.
Even the surrounding disciples were quite surprised. After all, they were all members of the Lin family. Even if they did not know Lin Xun, they knew that he was the trash of the family. A cripple who could not cultivate at all. Why would he suddenly appear in the family competition today?
Even though Lin Xun was an indifferent person, he still felt a little excited in his heart at this moment when everyone was watching him. Step by step, he slowly walked from the back of the crowd to the stone platform.
"What is it? Lin Xun was actually able to participate in the family competition. Did the sun rise from the west today? Or am I not awake at all?"
"Isn't he known as the trash of the clan? How could they be here? Could it be that they had the same name?”
"Shouldn't this trash be eliminated long ago? Why was he still in the Lin family? His skin was really too thick.”
"Haha, look, he's actually using a wooden sword. What kind of lethality can this have? It seems that after so many years, not only has he become trash, but he has also become even more stupid.”
As Lin Xun walked, waves of laughter rang out from the crowd. There were even some who mocked him by name. However, these were not enough to shake Lin Xun's mind. At this moment, his gaze was only on the stone platform not far away.
The short distance actually made Lin Xun feel like it was quite long. After walking slowly for a long time, Lin Xun finally arrived in front of the stone platform."From today onwards, you will say goodbye to your past self.”
Even though Elder Lin Li thought highly of Lin Xun, he did not give him any preferential treatment. Instead, he placed the bamboo tube in front of him, and Lin Xun took out a bamboo stick. He saw the big "three" written on it.
He immediately walked over and arrived in front of the stone platform that was almost half the height of a person. With a light tap of his toes, he directly jumped onto the surface of the stone platform as if he was weightless.
However, this action did not attract the attention of the people below the stage. They even sighed."Trash, get lost."
However, before he could finish, someone stopped him."Stop shouting. Look at Lin Xun's opponent. He was in the top ten last year. Although he's not as strong as the top three, it's still easy to teach him a lesson. This is going to be a good show.”
Hearing this, Lin Xun sized up his opponent. His face was a little old and he didn't look young. He was about 18 or 19 years old. He was using a steel knife and had a look of disdain on his face.
He even went on stage and said bluntly,"Hurry up and get off the stage. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I hit you too hard later, your life or death will be unknown. Trash should know your own limits. Don't casually come and participate in such a dangerous matter.”
Lin Xun was not the slightest bit unhappy with these words, because he could feel that the other party was not as strong as him. Although he was at the tempered body sixth stage, Lin Xun's fighting strength could not be judged by common sense.
The other party could be said to be Lin Xun's first opponent in public, and it was very memorable. Lin Xun immediately looked at the other party and said,"I'm Lin Xun, what's your name?”
However, the other party did not appreciate Lin Xun's attitude at all. Instead, he mocked,"Don't even think about stalling for time. No matter how much you try, you won't be able to win. It's better for you to obediently admit defeat. This way, not only will you save time, you can also avoid getting injured.”
"Sigh." Lin Xun sighed softly and did not say anything else.
However, the other party seemed to have been insulted. His face was filled with anger as he raised the steel blade in his hand and slashed at Lin Xun's head. If this attack hit, Lin Xun's head would definitely explode.
But even at this point, Lin Xun still stood there quietly, as if he was scared silly by the oncoming saber light. He did not know how to counterattack at all.
Instantly, the group of people who were clamoring below burst into laughter." This is not a place for trash. I didn't expect to be scared silly by the first move. Haha…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly stuck in the middle of a duck's quack. However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to such laughter. Instead, they were all dumbfounded because under the gazes of the crowd, the cold steel saber was actually blocked by the wooden sword that they had mocked from the beginning. The black wooden sword was particularly eye-catching under the silver-white saber.
The iron-like truth was simply irrefutable. Even if they wanted to nitpick, they could not find any fault at all because this move was blocked firmly.
Everyone could even clearly see that the person on the stone platform had already used all his strength to hold the sword with both hands. However, Lin Xun was still as calm as ever. He held the sword with one hand and easily blocked it.
It was as if the person on the stage was not the top ten master from last year, but just a mortal who had just stepped onto the road of cultivation. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the two sides were not on the same level at all.
This had infuriated that person. After all, ever since he had won the top ten of the outer sect disciples last year, he had already confirmed his identity. He had even received many preferential treatments when he walked outside. Today, if he could not even defeat a publicly recognized trash, how could he still have the face to live?
Immediately, he slowly took two steps back. The gaze he used to look at Lin Xun changed from the original arrogance to hatred. With a furious roar, the steel blade actually faintly emitted a faint light. Clearly, this was the other party's strongest attack.
After all, the sixth stage of the Body Tempering stage had yet to open up the meridians in his body, so his true qi was too scarce. Now that the other party had transferred all the true qi in his body into the steel saber, this move was also the most powerful move in the cultivation method that the other party cultivated. It could definitely be considered his life-saving move.
Faced with such an attack, even Lin Xun revealed a trace of surprise on his face. As expected, everyone's ultimate move could not be underestimated. Although this move could threaten Lin Xun, the other party basically did not have any formal experience in dealing with enemies. He was still too inexperienced.
Immediately, Lin Xun's figure flashed. He did not reveal the secret of his hidden footwork manual at all. He dodged this move at an ordinary speed. Then, the wooden sword came after him and pointed directly at the person's neck.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When he reappeared in front of everyone, they found that the expert they had high hopes for was actually pointed at by the wooden sword. There were even traces of blood on his neck. If he still did not surrender, he might lose his life in the end.
"Lin Xunsheng." The elder's indifferent voice broke the silence. Under everyone's astonished gazes, Lin Xun slowly walked down the stone platform.
"This is impossible, this is simply impossible. I can't even defeat a piece of trash.”The person on the stone platform obviously could not accept the fact that he had failed, and was even a little insane. This made Elder Lin Li a little disappointed. He waved his hand and sent him off the platform.
As for the current crowd, it was even more boiling. Everyone looked at Lin Xun with deep surprise. It should be known that being able to enter the top ten last year already showed that his strength was quite good.
At least, he was stronger than 90% of the people below the high platform. However, such a person was actually finished off by Lin Xun in a few moves. What did this mean? Could it be that Lin Xun's strength was even stronger? The situation immediately changed.
"I knew that Brother Lin Xun was hiding his strength and biding his time.”
"Yes, yes, I had high hopes for brother Lin Xun from the beginning.”
Lin Xun did not care about these fence-sitters at all. He continued to return to the back of the crowd and quietly waited for his second battle. However, he now had the qualifications to be looked at by anyone.
Even last year's top three couldn't help but look at Lin Xun with flickering eyes. At the same time, they asked themselves, If he were to encounter the top ten, would he be able to do it so quickly?
After thinking about the result, they immediately felt their hearts become filled with determination. Their gazes towards Lin Xun could not help but become even more serious. This also meant that they had already acknowledged Lin Xun's strength.
