Chapter Twelve - The Year-End Grand Competition Arrives

  When the first rays of morning light shine through the forest and fall on the edge of the woods.

  Rumble!

  Lin Yuan's body trembled slightly, his eyes opened, and a hint of joy appeared.

  "Haha, I finally succeeded!"

  Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and faced the rocks below, a white blade burst out of his body.

  Bang!

  In an instant, gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Even in the water below, a fountain of water shot up.

  "After tomorrow eightfold, finally reached."

  Lin Yuan did not expect that in just over a month, his strength would once again soar, directly reaching the eighth realm, and was only slightly stronger than some of the elders in Lin's family village.

  A long sword suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

  The first move of Yun Jian Fa - Clouds and Water Flowing

  One move brought it forth, and the sword energy surged directly around him.

  Flowing Cloud Sword Technique Second Form - All Seas Are Clouds

  It seems that the surroundings are about to become hazy, and a white true yuan instantly surrounds the body. A strand of true yuan condenses into a bundle and shoots towards the distance, once again piercing through the rocks in front.

  Condense into a line

  At this time, Lin Yuan was in no way inferior to Sword Technique.

  This set of Liuyun Swordsmanship is the foundation swordsmanship of Linjiazhuang, and it's something that every disciple of Linjiazhuang will learn, the only difference being how well they master it.

  At this time, Lin Yuan's moves came out, as if they were like flowing clouds and running water, without any hesitation. A whole set of moves came out, flowing clouds and running water, seemingly combining the artistic conception of Liu Yun Jian Fa.

  With a flowing cloud sword technique, it was as if Lin Xiang himself was immersed in the sword technique.

  The great way is simple, from simplicity comes complexity and in the end it returns to simplicity. This is the Tao.

  After about half a time, Lin Yuan finally recovered from the realm of Liu Yun Jian Fa.

  At this time, Lin Yuan seemed like an ordinary person, but the aura on his body had undergone a clear change, making him seem even more in tune with nature.

  Just as Lin Yuan was about to end, a blue light suddenly flashed from his brow and sank in. But at this time, Lin Yuan didn't notice it at all.

  "Tomorrow is the final showdown, I should also go back home." In Lin Yuan's heart, he had long wanted to experience this Zhao country, because his heart was not in this small Linjia Village, nor in Qianxing Town, but belonged to the entire world.

  This was also Lin Yuan's plan, after the martial arts competition, to settle some mundane trivial matters, and then it would be his own day to travel the world.

  Lin Yuan's mood was also exceptionally excited as he thought about it.

  ……

  ……

  The day of the highly anticipated year-end grand competition has finally arrived after a day's wait.

  On this day, early in the morning, all the young men from the four major families gathered at the largest square in Qian Xing Town, and Lin Yuan was also among them.

  The people of Linjiazhuang didn't say anything about Linyuan's arrival, as if they had already forgotten that he used to be a good-for-nothing. After all, the outcome of that battle was well-known in Linjiazhuang. The only thing unknown was how strong Linyuan actually was.

  But they also knew that Lin Yuan had only been cultivating for more than two months, relying on his innate talent, and wouldn't be too high, at most he would be around the third or fourth layer of acquired cultivation.

  The martial arts arena in Qian Xing Town is where all the warriors of Qian Xing Town engage in martial arts competitions, sword fights and resolve disputes. Therefore, it is also very spacious inside, enough to accommodate all five factions of Qian Xing Town.

  This Qian Xing Town martial arts arena is divided into four large tiered regions from low to high.

  It is a spacious square with an extremely large area, and on the square there are as many as fifty bluestone platforms of varying sizes, surrounded by hundred-year-old trees and various warrior statues. From a distance, it really looks magnificent.

  When Lin Yuan and other disciples of the Lin family arrived, there were already many people gathered in the martial arts arena.

  As far as the eye can see, it's absolutely packed with people, incredibly lively and noisy.

  Of course, most of them are still from some weak descendants who come to watch the excitement.

  Moreover, the warriors here are not something that anyone can participate in, with each family sending out at most twenty warriors to determine the final victory.

  This year-end bonus is not only related to the ranking of the younger generation, but also to the interests of each family. Those with higher rankings naturally get more.

  This is also why every year-end grand comparison, each family attaches great importance to it.

  About half a stick of incense later, a melodious and pleasant sound of an ancient bell echoed throughout the martial arts arena.

  Wafts of fragrant smoke enveloped the entire martial arts arena.

  A figure appeared in the middle of the martial arts arena.

  The host of this year's four major year-end awards has arrived.

  Wearing a light gray long gown, about thirty years old, with a stern face and long hair flowing down his back.

  Many people were shocked.

  "Qian Xing Town Mayor, Mo Yuan"

  "It's actually him presiding, it seems this time is very important. I didn't expect that this martial arts competition would actually be attended by the mayor of Qianhang Town." This person was clearly surprised that this martial arts competition had actually attracted the attention of the true mayor of Qianhang Town.

  "It's said that the town master of Qian Xing Town has already reached the peak of postnatal cultivation, and with just one more step, he can enter the legendary realm of prenatal." someone beside him said.

  Lin Yuan also seemed to have noticed the mayor of Qian Xing Town on the stage, and he was not particularly surprised by some of the warriors' conversations below.

  All the disciples present held their breath at once.

  Lin Yuan also felt a vast and powerful aura coming straight at him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his face.

  He had to hurriedly operate his technique to suppress it, after all, Lin Yuan had just recently advanced to the Late Heaven Eight Layer realm, which was why the true energy in his body slowly stabilized.

  "How frightening, this middle-aged man's strength has already surpassed many of his own and reached an unimaginable realm, the peak of acquired skills, and is about to ascend to the realm of innate abilities"

  Lin Yuan secretly admired him in his heart.

  Lin Yuan felt Mo Yuan's aura from afar, as if even at such a distance, he could still see the aura on stage, like towering waves and vast oceans.

  "This is the peak of post-heaven? Indeed, it's many times stronger than the ordinary post-heaven realm." Lin Yuan was also amazed in his heart. He felt that Mo Yuan on this stage was actually not his opponent at all.

  However, Lin Yuan did not lose heart. After all, he was only 15 years old and had a long way to go. Lin Yuan also believed that his future self would definitely surpass the acquired realm and reach the innate realm that all warriors dreamed of.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's body suddenly burst out with a surge of energy, and his body straightened up, staring directly at Mo Yuanchun, who was speaking on the stage.

  The people around Linjiazhuang didn't notice any movement from Linyuan's side, and besides, Linyuan had only exerted his aura for an instant before withdrawing it. Moreover, Linyuan was in a relatively remote location, so no one discovered him.
