At the Lin family's western drill ground.
A few people were chatting as they walked inside. The leader was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed in a black robe and carried a military saber on his back. His face was firm and determined, and his body emitted a bloodthirsty aura that only the army had.
"Brother Lin Hai, I think you're the only one who can compete with Lin Wei and Lin Yu for first place.”The youth who spoke seemed to admire the youth in black very much as he complimented him.
Lin Hai said lightly," I was apprenticed to my master Ding Yue when I was 13 years old. Two years ago, I followed my master to wander around the world. I've been to the Blissful Prairie of the Wu Kingdom, the foreign country Mo Luo Kingdom, and the Sun Empire with a population of billions. I've hunted sharks on the Changbai River and lived in the mud puppet desert for three months. In the last year, I even joined the army of the dynasty to kill. During the most difficult period, I could stay up for three days and three nights without eating anything. Therefore, it's not difficult for me to get first place in the Family Meeting at the end of the year. As for Lin Fei, although he had also gone through tough training outside, it was a pity that his cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Forging Qi Realm, so he was not worth worrying about.”
"Hmph, so what if you've experienced it? If one had never stayed in a sect, one would never know the important surnames of the sect.”Not far away, another three or four people walked over. Lin Wei, who was dressed in white, looked at Hai Lin provocatively.
Lin Hai glanced at Lin Wei." Indeed, the sect's training system is very complete. However, in front of me, who has killed dozens of people, how much of your strength can you unleash?"”
"Murder! I thought you were going to say something." Lin Wei laughed and pointed at Hai Lin,"Our Raging Fire Palace practices killing knife skills. I have killed more than ten people.”
"Your so-called killing is bullying those weaker than you, right? Have you ever challenged someone stronger than you? Do you feel like your life is on the line? Do you have the experience of turning defeat into victory? You have nothing. You kill people just to show off.”
Lin Hai's three consecutive questions made Lin Wei speechless. He retorted,"It's useless to say anything now. We'll see who's better at the clan meeting.”
After Lin Wei and the others left, the youth beside Hai Lin said,""Brother Lin Hai, I support you. That Lin Wei is nothing.”
Lin Hai shook his head," No, seriously speaking, his strength is not inferior to mine. In fact, he is even slightly stronger. You should know that the killing bladesmanship of the Fire Palace is the best in the Wu Kingdom. No one can match it. However, the outcome is not just a simple competition of martial arts.”
"By the way, have there been any new powerful figures in the Lin family recently?”Ye Hai asked.
"The top five are you, Lin Yu, Lin Wei, Lin Fei, and Lin Yun.”
"What about Lin Qin?"
"Lin Qin is still a good-for-nothing. He's at most at the sixth level of the Forging Qi Realm!”
"That's strange. It's been five years, but you're still at the sixth level of the Forging Qi Realm. On average, you're advancing by a little more than one level every year.”
"How is that possible? Other than being the son of the family head, that guy is useless. He's really a disgrace to our Lin family.”
"Since there are no powerful disciples, then I have a 60% chance of winning first place.”Lin Hai was very confident in himself. He firmly believed that these three years of life and death training would have an unshakable driving force for his future development.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The year-end family meeting began.
Early morning.
After Lin Qin finished washing up and tidying his clothes, he took his sword and walked towards the Lin family's drill ground.
The Drill Ground was crowded with people, and it was extremely lively. Almost all the servants and martial artists who lived in the Lin family had come to watch this clan gathering competition. Other than that, some of the famous big shots in Three River City had also come here to take the opportunity to observe the strength of the Lin family's new generation.
After looking around, Lin Qin found a quieter player seat and walked over.
Lin Guofu and Li Yuhua sat next to each other in the VIP seats. On Lin Guofu's right was a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe. He was tall and mighty, and his every move carried an invisible deterrent force. He was obviously a big shot with high authority, and not just any big shot.
"Master Lin, may I know which one of you is your son?”The middle-aged man smiled.
Lin Guofu had already discovered Lin Qin's location. He pointed over and said,""City Lord Song, that is my son.”
The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes was not an ordinary person. He was the City Lord of Three River City. He controlled a city's army and was an early-stage grandmaster. However, no matter who he was, he was still inferior to Lin Guofu. As one of the eight great families, the Lin family was not something a mere City Lord could compare to. To put it bluntly, the Lin family had the final say in Three River City. The City Lord had to consider the Lin family's opinion when making any important decisions.
City Lord Song looked at Lin Qin and asked in confusion,""It seems that the rumors can't be trusted completely. This child is clearly at the peak of the tenth level of the Forging Qi Realm and is one step away from entering the Connate Realm.”
Li Yuhua, who was beside Lin Guofu, smiled proudly." To be honest, even we, his parents, are surprised. It seems that the training outside is still useful to him.”
"Hehe, the Lin family will not be simple this time. I'll wait and see.”
Relying on his powerful soul power, Lin Qin sensed that there were people watching him, and not just one. One was his parents and City Lord Song, the second was his third uncle and his son Lin Yun, and the third was Hai Lin, who had followed his master to travel the world and later joined the army.
Lin Yun's cultivation was even lower than his, only at the late stage of the 10th level of the Forging Qi Realm. Lin Hai was much stronger, already at the early stage of the Connate Realm. He might not have any powerful martial techniques or cultivation techniques, but after wandering outside for so many years, he couldn't be underestimated. Moreover, the army was the most murderous. His master Ba Dao must have taught him a trump card or two to help him win first place.
"Interesting. I was wondering how it was possible to reach the sixth level of the Forging Qi Realm in five years. It turns out that you've already reached the peak of the tenth level.”Lin Hai nodded slightly, but his expression did not seem to care. In his eyes, only Lin Wei and Lin Yu were his opponents.
All of a sudden, a powerful aura swept across the entire Drill Ground, causing everyone to fall silent. They looked to the east.
"Hahahaha, how can I miss out on the year-end clan gathering?”The crowd automatically parted, and a burly middle-aged man walked over with a majestic gait. He was wearing a golden brocade robe, and there was a fiery cloud pattern on his sleeve. There were also exquisite patterns on the edge. His pair of tiger eyes glared at the crowd, and the crowd in that area even stopped breathing, afraid of attracting his attention.
This man was Lin Qin's uncle, Lin Sanpang, the inner elder of the Green Mountain Sect.
Beside him were Lin Wei and Lin Fei. The two of them walked with Lin Sanpang. They had a sense of pride as they looked down at the crowd.
However, it was no wonder that they were so arrogant. Although Third Fatty Lin didn't have as much power as Lin Guofu in the Lin family, his status was lower than his. Sometimes, he even went against Lin Guofu, making him feel embarrassed. Lin Guofu couldn't do anything about it. Third Fatty Lin was an inner elder of the Green Mountain Sect, a figure who had a lot of influence in the Green Mountain Sect. His cultivation was extremely high, reaching the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm, and could be called the top expert of the Lin family. Although the Lin family was one of the eight great families, it was far inferior to the eighth-rank Green Mountain Sect. Perhaps only the head of the eight families, the Dongfang family, had the strength to compare to the sect.
"Brother Sanpang, I didn't expect that even you would be alarmed by this year's family gathering.”
"Yeah, Brother Sanpang hasn't been back for a few years, right? After the Lin Family Meeting ends, let's have a few drinks to welcome you.”All the important figures around him fawned over Third Fatty Lin, even more so than Third Fatty Lin, as if they were slaves.
Lin Sanpang waved his hand." Alright, I, Lin Sanpang, will give you face."”
After saying that, he strode up to the VIP seats and gestured for Li Yuhua to leave. His eyes were filled with an irresistible dignity and dominance.
Lin Guofu's expression was ugly. Li Yuhua knew that the situation was better than him. She stood up and said," Big Brother, sit down."”
"Alright, then I'll accept your offer.”He sat down casually and placed his palm on the table, making a muffled sound.
In the distance, Lin Qin's eyes were filled with rage.
