WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 24: The Complete Win

That sudden voice caused the training room to become silent and one by one, astonished gazes turned to Lin Dong.

"Dong-er, what are you doing?"

Lin Xiao hurriedly asked, also surprised by Lin Dong's actions. Although Lin Dong's performance today had exceeded his expectations so far, when all was said and done, his son still had time to leave before reaching Lin Hong's level. Armed with only a Tempered Body 6th Layer and nine echo Penetrating Punch, Lin Dong could not possibly defeat Lin Hong who had already reached Tempered Body 7th Layer!

"Lin Dong-ge, don't go!"

Quickly regaining her wits, anxiety replaced the shock on Qing Tan's petite face. He knew that Lin Dong's sudden actions might be all for his sake.

“Don't worry dad, I just want to exchange some pointers with Lin Hong-biao-ge. Even if I lose, you won't lose face ......" Lin Dong grinned as he said.

These words made Lin Xiao faint. He hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head, warning his son: "Be careful."

Lin Dong nodded in response. He patted Qing Tan's little head before turning around to walk into the arena under the many gazes of the crowd. As he turned around, a grin flashed across his eyes. If Lin Hong had just been satisfied with obtaining first place, Lin Dong would not even bother to expose his strength excessively. It was a pity that even with first place, Lin Hong was still greedy for the only thing he would never have! Really, give someone an inch and he'll want a mile ...

“Because everything has gone like this, don't blame me for thrashing you until you lose face to mention engagement again ...”.

Lin Dong's footsteps stopped at the perimeter of the stone platform as he turned to look at Lin Zhentian, smiling as he asked: "Grandfather, is it alright for me to issue a challenge?"

Regaining his wits, Lin Zhentian examined Lin Dong with an astonished look. Even after Lin Hong's strength had been clearly displayed to Lin Dong, he still dared to issue a challenge. Either Lin Dong asked for trouble or he had some sort of assurance in him.

“It looks like he has found the weak spot...”.

Suddenly, a faint sense of anticipation appeared in the depths of Lin Zhentian's eyes. In the same competition many years before, Lin Xiao had also distinguished himself in the same way, causing Lin Zhentian to finally find hope of returning to the clan ...... but no one knew if Lin Dong was able to become like Lin Xiao from passing through and once again gave this old man the biggest surprise.

"Normal rules, challenge requests accepted."

Seeing Lin Zhentian's approval, Lin Dong finally smiled.

“You brat, to think that you will come knocking on the problem door. Even I am having a hard time dealing with Lin Hong at the moment. ” Lin Xia's angry voice sounded as he stepped on Lin Dong.

“Now is not the time to show off and act bravely.”

Lin Xia was unhappy because he failed to live up to his own expectations and Lin Dong could only laugh in response. Without a word, his figure leaped onto the stone platform where Lin Hong was already standing, arms crossed and staring at Lin Dong while sneering.

"Lin Dong, does it seem like your confidence has increased after reaching the top three?" With a forced smile on his face, Lin Hong looked at Lin Dong who was now standing in front of him

"So I want to invite Lin Hong-biao-ge to help me come to my senses." Acting as if he did not hear the ridicule in Lin Hong's words, Lin Dong replied with a smile.

"That's my job." Lin Hong lazily said.

"First uncle, can we start?" After one last glance towards Lin Hong, Lin Dong turned to ask Lin Ken who was at the bottom of the platform.

"You ......" Lin Ken opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something before finally sighing in helplessness. He waved: "Start."

As Lin Ken's voice faded, Lin Hong's originally lazy expression turned icy cold. A weak light bathed his body. He obviously won't do any punches ……

"Lin Dong, now I will show you how much distance is between us!"

Yuan Power rolled around in its channels as power ripples spread throughout Lin Hong's body. He sneered at Lin Dong before quickly taking two steps forward and appearing before the latter. A cold force on the palm was extremely pushing towards Lin Dong.

In the face of Lin Hong's extremely powerful punch, which horrified everyone, Lin Dong did not show the slightest sign of dodging. At this sight, many people among the crowd quietly shook their heads, it seemed like the winner of this match would be determined soon ……

“Heh heh, to really start the challenge, he only found problems for himself.”

In the training room, Lin Shan smiled, pleased by this turn of events. By his side, Lin Mang also grinned as he casually leaned against the back of his chair and sipped tea on his cup.

"Thump!"

Just as the punch was about to make contact with Lin Dong's chest, Lin Dong finally moved. He stretched out his right palm and pushed out Lin Hong's palm.

To everyone's surprise, this collision did not end in Lin Hong's victory. Instead, like an iron tower, Lin Dong's body suddenly endured the blow without moving in the slightest. It was as if Lin Hong's punch was completely unable to affect Lin Dong in the slightest.

“How can this be?”

Even Lin Hong's complexion changed at that moment. From what he could feel, Lin Dong's palm was similar to a thick wall that he could not penetrate.

And at this moment, he finally felt uneasy.

"You're not the only one in Tempered Body 7th Layer!"

Lin Dong looked at Lin Hong who was wearing a completely different expression than before, making sure to pronounce each word clearly. As Lin Dong spat out every word, a weak light emerged from his body; this was due to the surging Yuan Power! And, this kind of undulation was much stronger than Lin Hong!

The 7th Layer of the Tempered Body!

“Sss..

Gazing at the flickering Yuan Power on Lin Dong's body, a breath suddenly sounded in the training room. As it turned out, Lin Dong's true strength was not at the 6th Layer but at the 7th Layer!

No wonder he dared to challenge Lin Hong!

"This disgusting boy ......"

Lin Xiao foolishly stared at the figure on the stone platform, his facial expression slowly turning into extremely excited. He had yet to digest the astonishment Lin Dong had forcefully fed him from before and now, his son had given him another heavy blow ......

Under the stage, Lin Xia's jade-like hands also subconsciously moved to cover her tiny mouth, her eyes tinged with astonishment.

“Layer 7? Keep going!"

Lin Hong's ever-changing complexion finally formed a smirk. With a shake of his arm, both of his palms suddenly extended out, followed by a strong wind that shot forward like a knife, ready to tear someone apart.

"Eight Palm Desolations?"

Lin Dong laughed in response to Lin Hong's incoming palm strike. He brandished his own palm and from a complicated angle, Lin Dong passed Lin Hong's thrust, quickly slapping the latter's arm. Just as this ordinary-looking faucet was making contact, the ferocious power of Lin Hong's Eight Desolations Palm suddenly dispersed, causing it to weaken.

"That's not how to use the Eight Desolations Palm!"

After spreading a thrust of Lin Hong's palm, a small smile danced across Lin Dong's lips. The latter suddenly stretched both palms forward as they cut through the air like a knife through hot butter. Compared to Lin Hong, the strength behind was much stronger and ferocious.

"You really know the Eight Desolations Palm as well ?!"

Lin Hong shouted involuntarily at the familiarity of Lin Dong's palm technique. Just as his voice faded, he realized some subtle differences, the strength of Lin Dong's Eight Palm Desolations was far more tyrannical than the one he had displayed before.

"How is this possible?!"

This discovery caused Lin Hong's skin to become somewhat pale. He had been practicing the Eight Desolations Palm for half a year, how could there be such a difference from Lin Dong?

"I refuse to believe it!"

With a face as white as a sheet, wild fury flashed in Lin Hong's eyes. He once again executed the Eight Desolations Palm, but this time, to the best of his ability. The Yuan power in his body gushed out from his palm as he charged towards Lin Dong furiously!

The palms hummed with raw energy, causing the crowd to be moved emotionally.

Faced with Lin Hong's last desperate counterattack, Lin Dong maintained his composure as his palm strike suddenly evolved to include a hint of gentleness before meeting Lin Hong's punch in midair.

By the time they were contacted, Lin Dong's arm strangely snapped as an extremely violent force rushed out like a tsunami.

"Thump!"

The crowd watched as Lin Hong's body was suddenly thrown like a kite that had been severed and with a final stagger, Lin Hong's regretful figure fell from the stone platform ......

Absolute silence dominated the training room, no one could have imagined that the originally placed Lin Hong had been sent so neatly by Lin Dong's hands ……

“Good...... great once.....”.

Lin Zhentian stared blankly at the youngster on the stone platform. A split second later, he slowly sat down, muttering to himself as ecstasy and uncontrollable emotions surfaced in his eyes.
