WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 23: The Last Three

"Lin Dong-ge, that's brilliant!"

As Lin Dong walked back to his seat, Qing Tan excitedly exclaimed as he gave his thumbs up.

"You little boy, you hide it well." Lin Xiao said, with a smile on his face. Despite this, Lin Xiao did not scold his son because he was too astonished by Lin Dong's current strength.

Furthermore, Lin Dong's star performance today had caused Lin Xiao's face to dazzle with happiness. The joy in his heart, was even greater than the day where his wounds healed.

"Hehey"

Lin Dong humbly scratched his head while laughing. When he realized that Lin Xiao would not continue the matter any further, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After Lin Dong's duel ended, the competition resumed. The top ten contestants were all quite famous members among the younger generation in the Lin Family. In fact, most of them were at Tempered Body 5th Layer or so. Therefore, their duel was naturally quite interesting to watch, so from time to time, the audience would cheer.

Five rounds quickly ended. As expected, Lin Xia and Hong could easily secure their victory thanks to their overwhelming strength. Besides them, Lin Dong and the other two outstanding youths in the Lin Family managed to escape to the top five.

When the five finals were announced, the atmosphere in the training room heated up. Everyone knows that the following matches are the true highlights of the competition.

After the draw, one lucky person managed to draw a blank draw. This time, Lin Dong's opponent was a young man named Lin Ting. He was reportedly at the Tempered Body 6th Layer, although this did not pose much of a threat to Lin Dong.

The two of them quickly continued their fight after drawing a lot and the end result was not surprising. Penetrating Fist Ninth Echo Lin Dong forcibly pushed Lin Ting off the stone platform, although the latter used his full strength to resist.

Thus, Lin Dong easily advanced to the top three.

Nothing special happened in this duel. Hence, after it was over, the crowd instantly turned their attention to the upcoming duel.

The next fight piqued everyone's interest, even Lin Dong was interested. Due to the fact that it was Lin Xia against Lin Hong.

Both of them were considered the most elite among the younger generation in the Lin Family. In fact, most people predicted that one of them would win this Family Competition.

However, the two now clashed unexpectedly before the final round, this exchange would indeed be interesting ……

"Lin Xia."

Lin Ken hesitantly announced after he saw that the two had drawn the same draw.

After hearing Lin Ken's call, Lin Xia admitted with his sweet voice. With a twist of his small waist, he floated up onto the stone platform like a butterfly. His slender and dashing appearance, attracted the attention of several young people.

As Lin Xia climbed onto the stone arena, Lin Hong also elegantly jumped onto the arena. Dressed in white clothes, he looked handsome and refined, at this sight, some people in the crowd lightly nodded in agreement.

"Lin Xia-jie, please just relax with me." Lin Hong respectfully bowed towards him.

“If I hold back, the loser is most likely me.” Lin Xia smirked. A rare expression of concentration in his eyes, he knew that based on Lin Hong's strength, he would most likely have to fight with everything he had.

Lin Hong smiled as flames lit up in his eyes. Lin Xia could be counted as the most outstanding member among the younger generation of the Lin Family. If he could defeat him today, he would be able to claim the number one position.

"Let the duel begin!"

Standing under the platform, Lin Ken shouted as he gestured for the match to begin.

Just as Lin Ken finished his announcement, a faint light emerged from the bodies of the two contestants. This is Yuan Power.

"Layer 7 Angry Body ..."

As they stared at the rather dense light that emerged from their bodies, many people in the crowd gasped in shock. Although they had suspicions after watching the duel earlier, they were still amazed upon witnessing this scene.

To be able to ascend to the Tempered Body 7th Layer at such a young age. This clearly shows the latent potential they have. If they were given proper training, they would definitely have a bright future.

"Lin Xia-jie, be careful!"

As the light in his body flickered, Lin Hong's expression turned extremely serious as he suddenly jumped forwards. A crushing strength could be felt from both of his palms which he swung in a horizontal arc towards Lin Xia.

Faced with the biting cold wind from Lin Hong's palm, Lin Xia gently took a step back. Its long and graceful fingers are fused together and slightly curved in the shape of an eagle's mouth. He struck the back of Lin Hong's palm, causing them to fall down and dodge the attack.

"Eight Palm Desolations!"

Just as his palm was deflected, Lin Hong growled. The strength behind his palm turned ferocious as he continued to rain down on Lin Xia's head. The sound of his hand piercing through the air was indeed impressive.

As he was attacked by an aggressive palm technique, Lin Xia lightly frowned. He aligned the two fingers together, and like a sword, he deftly passed through Lin Hong's palm and pierced towards his body, looking like a sword, causing the latter to have no choice but to bring back his hand to endure.

On the stone platform, two figures intertwined as they fought vigorously while constantly exchanging blows with their palms and fingers. With the help of Yuan Power, each punch was strengthened, attracting the attention of the audience.

"Lin Dong-ge, who do you think will win?" Qing Tan nervously asked as she subconsciously clenched her small fists at the intense duel.

"It's hard to say……"

Lin Dong hesitated before he finally shook his head. Lin Hong had clearly mastered the Eight Desolations Palm because the power generated by his palm technique was extremely aggressive and produced a huge blow. However, Lin Xia was not inferior to the former. In fact, the martial art he used was the Level 2 martial art, the Spirit Finger Sword.

Although that type of martial art did not look great, if mastered properly, one's finger would become a sword. Therefore, even Lin Hong did not dare to take a blow from him.

Therefore, it is very difficult to ascertain who will be the eventual winner. Nonetheless, in Lin Dong's heart, he hoped that Lin Xia would win……

As they spoke, the battle in the stone arena gradually increased until it reached *******. The palms and fists collided, causing a continuous series of deep sounds to be heard.

This exchange lasted for nearly ten minutes as the light on their bodies lit up brightly. Evidently, they had pushed Yuan Power into their bodies to the maximum.

Just when the intensity of the light reached its peak, the two of them took a step back together. Immediately after, both of their palms suddenly stretched out and collided together under the wary gazes of the crowd.

“Bang”

Explosions of explosions were heard on the platform as the two were jolted by the impact. Both of their legs desperately tried to claw at the platform, but in the end, both of them fell down at the same time…

After watching the two fall together, a commotion erupted in the training room. Obviously, no one expected this result ...

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all ..."

On his seat, Lin Zhentian could not help but nod his head in satisfaction after he witnessed that Lin Hong was able to deal with Lin Xia in their spectacular duel. Lin Mang, who was sitting beside him, smiled brightly as he arrogantly turned to look at Lin Xiao.

“This match will be rated series. Since there were only four people left, if there were no objections, Lin Xia and Lin Hong would occupy the first position, whereas Lin Dong and Lin Chen, were the only ones left, they will rank second and third respectively. Of course, if anyone still wants to compete and exchange clues, please go forward now .... ”.

Lin Zhentian stood up and announced with a smile. At this moment, the rankings for the Family Competition had largely been decided and further duels would likely make no difference.

After hearing Lin Zhentian's words, the crowd nodded in agreement.

"That person is number one ..."

Lin Dong frowned as he turned to look at Qing Tan, only to find that he had tightly gripped his little fist. On her delicate and petite face, there was a worried expression.

After hearing Lin Zhentian's announcement, Lin Hong's smile brightened. Turning his gaze towards Lin Dong and Qing Tan, the corner of his mouth lifted into a grin. Soon after, he took a step forward and prepared to announce his intention for the engagement request, as they say: strike when the iron is hot.

However, right before Lin Hong announced his request, Lin Dong, who had been observing the former, suddenly stood up with a dark expression on his face. His voice echoed in the training room.

“Lin Hong-biao-ge, Lin Dong is not talented. Can you give me some pointers? ”
