As the competition officially started, young disciples stepped onto the stage one after another to fight. The battles were fierce, and the sound of fists and palms colliding echoed throughout the training ground.
However, most of the disciples were only at the first or second level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Their fights were fierce but lacked real power. The elders on the high platform watched with calm expressions, not showing much interest.
Before long, it was Lin Feng's turn to fight.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted into cheers. Lin Feng was the most talented genius of the younger generation in the Lin family, with a cultivation base at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Everyone believed that he would win the championship this year.
His opponent was a disciple at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Before the fight even started, the outcome was already clear.
With just three moves, Lin Feng sent his opponent flying off the stage, winning easily. He stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, his face full of pride and arrogance. He deliberately glanced at Lin Yan, his eyes filled with provocation and contempt.
"Who's next?" Lin Feng shouted loudly. "Is there anyone in the Lin family who can fight me?"
His arrogance made many disciples angry, but none of them dared to step forward. They knew they were no match for Lin Feng.
Just then, the host called Lin Yan's name.
"Next match! Lin Yan vs. Wang Hu!"
Wang Hu was a burly disciple at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. He was known for his brute strength and violent fighting style. When he heard that his opponent was Lin Yan, he immediately laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! Lin Yan, you're just a weakling at the third level! I'll beat you until you cry for your mother!"
Wang Hu jumped onto the stage, his eyes fierce and aggressive. He raised his huge fist, ready to attack Lin Yan as soon as the match began.
The crowd watched with great interest, waiting to see Lin Yan get beaten badly.
"Lin Yan is dead meat!"
"Wang Hu is going to crush him!"
"He won't last even ten moves!"
On the high platform, the elders shook their heads slightly. They all thought that Lin Yan had no chance of winning. Even Lin Yan's grandfather had a trace of worry in his eyes.
Liu Mei stood in the crowd, her face cold. She was waiting to see Lin Yan humiliate himself, so that she could find an excuse to break off their engagement in front of everyone.
Amid all the mockery and disdain, Lin Yan slowly stepped onto the stage.
He stood calmly in front of Wang Hu, his eyes closed slightly, as if he did not take his opponent seriously at all.
"Boy, you're courting death!" Wang Hu roared angrily. He charged toward Lin Yan, his huge fist carrying a strong wind, aiming straight for Lin Yan's chest.
In the eyes of everyone, this punch was enough to send Lin Yan flying and seriously injure him.
But the next second, something shocking happened.
Just as Wang Hu's fist was about to hit Lin Yan, Lin Yan finally moved.
He raised his right hand lightly, as if swatting a fly.
Bang!
A dull sound exploded in the air.
Wang Hu's huge body froze in place. His eyes widened to the extreme, filled with disbelief and terror.
The powerful punch he had thrown was easily blocked by Lin Yan with just two fingers.
"How… how is this possible?!" Wang Hu screamed in horror.
Lin Yan's eyes opened slowly, and a cold light flashed through them.
"You're too weak," Lin Yan said indifferently.
Before Wang Hu could react, Lin Yan gently pushed forward with his finger.
Boom!
Wang Hu's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily off the stage. He lay on the ground, spitting out blood, and could not get up again.
The entire training ground fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared at the stage with their mouths wide open, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
No one could believe what they had just seen.
The weak, useless Lin Yan had defeated Wang Hu, a fourth-level Foundation Establishment disciple, with just one finger?
This was completely beyond their imagination!
