Chapter 931
Battle of Grudges
Within the secret realm, Lin Xiao's figure sped along, and the so-called seventh and eighth tribulation demonic beasts were utterly vulnerable to Lin Xiao.
"This level is way too easy."
Lin Xiao killed very quickly; even a Nine Tribulation Demon Beast could only withstand ten moves from Lin Xuan.
"Hehe, it's just a small secret realm set up by a Golden Immortal using his soul power. The Nine Tribulation Demon Beasts inside are far inferior to real Nine Tribulation Demon Beasts, so you can easily kill them."
Lin Xuan sensed the surrounding atmosphere and spoke calmly.
Lin Xiao ignored all of this and continued speeding towards the finish line.
Suddenly, several forces pressed down on Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao dodged suddenly, and several forces intertwined and exploded, blasting the area within a hundred miles into flat ground.
"I never thought that you, this piece of trash, could actually grow up. I underestimated you back then."
Standing in front of Lin Xiao were seven people, the one in the lead being Fu Shoujiao, the young master of the Fu family.
At this time, with the strong support of the Fu family, Fu Shoujiao has already cultivated to the Eighth Tribulation Profound Immortal Realm. This speed can be described as extremely fast. Given time, the Immortal King Realm is not out of the question, although it is still very far away.
"Young Master Fu, is this the Lin Xiao you mentioned, the son of a sinner? He doesn't seem bad at all."
The first person standing to the left of Fu Shoujiao was a woman, with her arms crossed over her chest, creating two mounds of flesh, and she looked at Lin Xuan with a somewhat mocking gaze.
"Heh, they do have some skills. They managed to dodge our combined attack. They're definitely not like those trash."
The first person to the right of Fu Shoujiao was a man in a red robe, holding a large, fiery red cleaver, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Fu Shoujiao just stared intently at Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, since you are so stubborn, then I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
As soon as Fu Shoujiao finished speaking, his four subordinates shot out like cannonballs, heading straight for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step back, and his body disappeared from the spot.
Fu Shoujiao and the others were all stunned for a moment.
Soon, Lin Xiao's figure appeared above the heads of Fu Shoujiao and the other two.
"Spatial divine power!?"
The seven were shocked, as Lin Xiao's attack was already aimed at Fu Shoujiao.
"boom!"
Fu Shoujiao was caught off guard and was hit. His body seemed to be out of control and sank directly into the ground, reaching hundreds of meters underground!
"Young Master Fu!"
Both the woman and the man in the blood-red robe were startled. Ignoring Lin Xiao, they headed towards the direction where the dragon had landed.
"Heh, goodbye, Fu Shoujiao. This isn't the place for us to fight. I'll show the world how I, Lin Xiao, will take you down!"
Lin Xiao did not choose to press his advantage, but instead flew towards the exit.
Although Fu Shoujiao took Lin Xiao's attack head-on, Lin Xiao did not use his full strength, and Fu Shoujiao was protected by a magic weapon, so he was not seriously injured.
"what!"
Fu Shoujiao suddenly emerged, his hair disheveled, looking rather pathetic. "Lin Xiao, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
Fu Shoujiao's eyes held an undisguised killing intent.
Since the Lin family is already beyond saving, even if Lin Xiao kills him on the platform, no one will dare to say anything to him!
Lin Xiao could no longer hear the roar of the Flood Dragon, and instead headed towards the exit of the secret realm.
The first fifty players to emerge from the secret realm will advance to the next round.
When Lin Xuan reached the exit of the secret realm, he did not immediately walk out. Instead, he waited for a while and then walked out of the secret realm while positioned in the middle.
Outside the secret realm, everyone was already waiting.
Lin Xiao blended into the crowd, which surprised many people.
Lin Xiao's useless physique was well-known throughout the Snow Moon Empire. After all, Lin Xiao was the son of Lin Xiaotian. The fact that such a talented person as Lin Xiaotian had given birth to a good-for-nothing was enough to spread far and wide.
"I never thought you could actually do it."
Xue Yan'er looked at Lin Xiao with a slightly complicated expression. It was Lin Xiao who had left on his own initiative back then, because how could Lin Xiao, who had been found to be a waste, be worthy of her, the Snow Moon Palace Master?
But Lin Xiao gave people a completely different feeling today.
"Next up is the draw, fifty to twenty-five. Everyone, please draw lots."
As the Golden Immortal introduced the nobles, fifty plaques immediately floated in the air. Two people with the same number would then duel, with the winner advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated.
Lin Xiao didn't care about these rules, nor did he care about the opponents he would be matched with, because Lin Xiao only had one goal: to be number one. Only by being number one could he unleash the Lin family's Overlord Spear.
"In the first round, Xue Yan'er will face off against... Lin Xiao."
The first round of the competition is a major highlight.
Xue Yan'er, the palace mistress of the Snow Moon Empire, is stunningly beautiful. She spends more time in the Lin family than in the palace. In particular, Xue Yan'er had a childhood betrothal with Lin Xiao.
However, ever since Lin Xiaotian became the empire's designated criminal, and Lin Xiao revealed his trashy physique and poor talent, Xue Yan'er's figure completely disappeared from the Lin family, and she would occasionally appear in the Fu family.
While it's only natural to strive for better things—after all, this is a dog-eat-dog world where nothing is surprising—Xue Yan'er's actions were naturally met with secret contempt and disdain from many.
Lin Xiao was also somewhat surprised by this arrangement; wasn't this just another case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?
"Hehe, kid, fortunes change, so don't underestimate a young man's potential. Now it's your time to prove yourself."
Lin Xuan was happy to watch this drama, which reminded him of his own sixtieth birthday banquet when his son was publicly jilted. Then Lin Fan said the saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential." Hundreds of years had passed since then.
"Lin Xiao, didn't you feel humiliated when I broke off the engagement with you? Now, it's perfect, we can settle all our grudges together."
Xue Yan'er did not shy away from her annulment of the engagement. Instead, she went up to the battle stage openly and took the initiative to bring up the matter.
Lin Xiao simply smiled faintly and stepped onto the battle platform.
"I've already let go of the broken engagement, but we still need to make a clean break and put an end to this."
Lin Xiao's expression was ordinary, and his eyes were extremely calm, which made Xue Yan'er even doubt whether the person in front of her didn't care about her at all.
Watching this scene from the sidelines, Yu'er's eyes shone with pride and joy.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then let's fight!"
A slender longsword appeared in Xue Yan'er's hand, and with a flash, she launched an attack on Lin Xiao. (End of Chapter)
