"First place in the clan competition is undoubtedly mine!" Lin Yi said confidently with a smile. "It's getting late, let's go back. I'll rest for the next three days and learn from your work-rest balance. Maybe it will be good for my cultivation."
"Really? That's great! Then I want to play with you for the next three days. You and Brother Lin Dong cultivate every day, and I'm so bored by myself." Upon hearing this, Qing Tan was overjoyed, even more so than if she had broken through her cultivation level.
"No problem," Lin Yi smiled slightly and started walking back home.
Qingtan naturally took Lin Yi's arm and happily strolled along with him.
At that moment, the system's childish voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's mind.
[Ding! The host has grasped the true meaning of cultivation and understood the importance of balancing work and rest. Reward: 1000 Yang Yuan Stones!]
Ok?
Is this also possible?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. He had only wanted to slack off for three days, but he didn't expect to get a reward for it.
"System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
[Ding! All rewards issued by this system comply with relevant regulations. Please do not question this system unnecessarily!]
"Master, you're not wrong, I was wrong," Lin Yi readily admitted his mistake, then made a small request in his heart, "However, next time could you just give me Yang Yuan Pills directly? Yang Yuan Stones require a lot of effort to refine."
Since Lin Yi has no shortage of Yang Yuan Pills, there's no need to waste time refining them himself to make a profit.
The Lin family will soon obtain the Yangyuan Stone mine and will no longer lack this low-grade commodity.
Moreover, it won't be long before Yang Yuan Dan becomes commonplace, and a more advanced currency will be used instead.
[Ding! Considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake, this system approves!]
Ha, she's quite the little tsundere!
Lin Yi was in a good mood, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The brother and sister had barely returned home when Liu Yan had already prepared dinner.
After Lin Xiao and Lin Dong returned, the family enjoyed a warm dinner together.
After dinner, Lin Yi returned to his room to rest.
Next, Lin Yi completely put aside his cultivation and spent three days having a great time with Qing Tan.
Qingtan was even happier than when she broke through in cultivation!
After three days of fun, the Lin family's annual festival has officially begun!
……
As the morning sun broke through the clouds and shone upon the land, the Lin family home became noisy.
A lively atmosphere enveloped the entire manor.
Led by Lin Xiao, Lin Yi, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan arrived at the clan competition training hall together.
When they arrived at the trial hall, it was already in an uproar, with crowds of people surging and jostling each other.
Besides the Lin family, many other forces that were on good terms with the Lin family sent representatives to observe this clan competition.
On the one hand, it was to build closer ties with the Lin family, and on the other hand, it was also an opportunity to assess the capabilities of the younger generation of the Lin family.
At this moment, many people were already seated in the VIP seats of the trial hall, chatting and laughing with each other.
Lin Mang, the second son of the Lin family and one of the hosts, was also among those seats.
Upon seeing Lin Xiao arrive, Lin Mang's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
This is the first time Lin Xiao has appeared in the clan competition since he was injured by Lin Langtian.
To Lin Mang's left stood the brothers Lin Hong and Lin Shan.
While Lin Mang was paying attention to Lin Xiao, they turned their gaze to Lin Yi.
There was a hint of fear in Lin Shan's eyes.
Lin Hong's expression was gloomy, his eyes filled with both anger and a hint of provocation.
The Lin family seemed oblivious to the stares of Lin Mang and his son, continuing their march without pausing.
"Third brother, how come you're willing to leave your place this time?" As they walked past Lin Mang and his son, Lin Mang suddenly smiled, holding his teacup, and said casually.
Lin Xiao smiled faintly, "Is there a problem?"
Upon seeing the smile on Lin Xiao's face, Lin Mang was taken aback. This smile lacked the dejection of before, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"It's nothing, but today is a big day for the Lin family. Now that you've come out, I hope you won't embarrass the Lin family."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, ignored him, brushed past him, and sat down in a seat not far away.
"Lin Yi, I will repay you tenfold for the humiliation you inflicted on me a few months ago!" Lin Hong couldn't help but speak out in a gloomy voice as Lin Yi passed by.
Lin Yi scoffed, "I'm afraid you'll humiliate yourself!"
Lin Yi's words made Lin Hong's face even more gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly!
Lin Mang glanced at Lin Hong and said indifferently, "We'll regain the face we've lost on the arena later!"
"Yes," Lin Hong replied, his expression calming down considerably.
Before the clan competition officially began, many people whispered among themselves about the sudden arrival of Lin Xiao.
After all, Lin Xiao was quite famous in Qingyang Town.
When Lin Zhentian, the head of the Lin family, saw Lin Xiao appear in the trial hall, his expression was somewhat complicated. After exchanging a few words with him, he returned to his seat in the main seat.
After Lin Zhentian took his seat in the main seat, the trial hall gradually quieted down.
All eyes were focused on Lin Zhentian.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Zhentian stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the VIP section, and laughed heartily:
"Today is the day of the Lin family competition. Thank you all for coming to support us. I won't waste any more words. Let's get straight to the point."
After speaking, Lin Zhentian looked at Lincoln not far away, who smiled and nodded, and then walked into the spacious area of the trial hall.
He took out a bamboo tube, which was filled with many bamboo sticks.
"As usual, we'll draw lots to determine the opponents. All the little ones who want to participate in the clan competition, come out and draw lots."
Upon hearing Lincoln's words, dozens of people emerged from the trial hall, each taking a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube in Lincoln's hand.
"Father, we're going too," Lin Yi said to Lin Xiao, then led Lin Dong and Qing Tan to the venue, where they each drew a bamboo stick.
When he saw that Qingtan had also drawn lots, Lincoln was slightly taken aback, but did not say anything more.
"There are five venues here. Let's get to the top five and begin."
After everyone finished drawing lots, Lincoln pointed to the five stone platforms behind him and said with a smile.
Lin Yi glanced at the bamboo stick in his hand, on which was written the number "three" in white ink. Without any hesitation, he walked directly onto the number three stone platform.
Immediately, he looked down at the audience, wanting to see who his first opponent would be...
Chapter 8 Victory or defeat is not determined by words!
Before long, Lin Yi noticed a round figure climbing up the stone platform where he was standing, looking distressed.
"Lin Changqiang, it seems you're having a lot of bad luck," Lin Yi said with a laugh when he saw the round figure.
Lin Changqiang looked miserable and said helplessly, "No one has worse luck than me."
Although Lin Changqiang did not know Lin Yi's current cultivation level, he knew that a few months ago, Lin Yi was able to defeat Lin Hong, who was at the sixth level of Body Tempering, with a single punch!
He, on the other hand, is only at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and if he were to fight Lin Yi, he would only be asking for a beating.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you going to admit defeat yourself, or do you want me to beat you down?"
"If I give up without fighting, my dad won't let me off the hook when I get back. But, Brother Lin Yi, could you please go easy on me? And could you please not hit my face?"
Lin Changqiang looked helpless and said in a resentful tone.
At this moment, Lincoln, who was below, saw that the first batch of Lin family juniors had already taken the stage, so he waved his hand and shouted: "The clan competition begins!"
As soon as Lincoln finished speaking, the atmosphere in the training hall suddenly became heated.
On the other four stone platforms, figures moved about and soon began to fight.
Seeing this, Lin Yi said to Lin Changqiang, "Alright, it's time for us to begin. You go first!"
"Okay, Brother Lin Yi, I'm attacking!"
Lin Changqiang agreed, his body trembled, and he took a step forward. His spherical body pounced towards Lin Yi at a surprisingly fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Changqiang's body was in front of Lin Yi.
His thick right leg lashed out at Lin Yi with considerable speed, a move that was none other than the first-grade martial art, the Stone-Splitting Leg.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, turned his body slightly to avoid Lin Changqiang's thick right leg, and quickly stepped forward, grabbing his shoulder with his right hand.
"Go away!"
Lin Yi threw his right hand with force, and Lin Changqiang's fat figure instantly transformed into a flying man, quickly flying down from the stone platform.
"what……"
Lin Changqiang was so frightened that he screamed and flailed his limbs.
"Pfft!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Changqiang landed on the open ground below the stone platform, falling flat on his backside.
After the initial shock subsided, Lin Changqiang realized he wasn't seriously injured. He stood up, rubbing his buttocks, and complained, "Brother Lin Yi, you scared me to death."
Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Why don't you come up again, and I'll try a different approach?"
"No, no, I admit defeat!" Upon hearing this, Lin Changqiang shook his head vigorously.
"Lin Yisheng!"
Beneath the stone platform, Lincoln shook his head with amusement and announced the result of the contest.
Just as Lin Yi was about to step down from the stone platform, he suddenly sensed someone watching him. He turned his head and saw that it was Lin Hong.
Lin Hong also won easily. When he met Lin Yi's gaze, a hint of provocation appeared in his eyes.
Lin Yi ignored him and turned to look at Lin Dong's stone platform. Coincidentally, Lin Dong's opponent was Lin Shan.
