Chapter 20: Talent Test
The strange return of those stones before had already surprised them, and at the same time they couldn't understand it, but at that time, they didn't think that Lin Yan could cultivate martial arts, but now it was obvious that Lin Yan was not only able to cultivate, but also cultivated exercises that all of them didn't understand, and even exceeded their cognition.
What is even more unacceptable to them is that Lin Yan was still doing a dying battle a month ago, but after this month, he can show his strength beyond Lin Xu, what does this mean?
"Could it be that he has encountered some adventures in the month since he disappeared?, or is it true that he can cultivate without a martial source!"
They don't dare to imagine it anymore, because it's all so bizarre, so weird!
Because this is the way spiritual battles, they have never seen it!
Lin Xu was defeated, and he was completely defeated, he didn't even understand how he was defeated, let alone how Lin Yan defeated him.
He felt the ridicule and contempt from the people around him who had been looking down on him in the past, and suddenly felt an urge to vomit blood.
It's not that Lin Yan really can't move when he hits, it's just that now he can only avoid everyone's attention by pretending to be dead, and this can indeed allow him not to face everyone's ridicule and ridicule for the time being.
But it was difficult for him to get his wishful thinking, Lin Long saw Lin Xu lying on the ground, of course he couldn't act as if he didn't see it, and immediately led someone to help Lin Xu sit up.
Lin Yan was still measured, he just wanted to teach Lin Xu a lesson, and he didn't really plan to kill him, but the severe pain was indispensable, don't look at Lin Xu's heart-rending screams of pain at the moment he was knocked down, but in fact, it was not a big deal, and he didn't even suffer any injuries.
Lin Xu, who was supported and sat on the ground, had an extremely ugly face, and he secretly scolded Lin Long and the others in his heart, but he couldn't continue to pretend to be dead, and he had to face the next humiliation.
Of course, Lin Yan would not let go of such an opportunity, his smile was still Lin Xu, who was sitting on the ground and seemed unwilling to stand up, looking at him condescendingly, "You keep saying that I am a waste, but now, are you not even as good as a waste?"
"What was that trick just now, that's not our Lin family's martial arts!" Lin Xu was still very unconvinced, as if he didn't believe that he would lose to a waste.
"It doesn't matter what it is, I can defeat you!" Lin Yan looked at Lin Xu with a mocking expression, using his own strength to defeat the person who insulted him, this feeling was very pleasant.
And Lin Xu was indeed like being struck by lightning, his face was dead and his eyes were blank, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and said inwardly: "Hmph, Lin Yan, although I don't know how you were able to cultivate, and I don't know what despicable means you used to defeat me, but don't be complacent, it won't be long before you know that your fate will be ten times worse than mine!"
Now, he can't refute Lin Yan, and he can only say some cruel things to comfort himself.
Regarding Lin Xu's threat, Lin Yan didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and even disdained it. People like Lin Xu, he saw a lot in his previous life, this kind of person can't do anything except bully the soft and fear the hard, so he didn't take people like Lin Xu in his eyes at all, and he didn't need to worry about anything.
"Brother Lin Yan, are you okay?" At this time, Jiang Lingsha also recovered from her shock, she quickly ran to Lin Yan's side, her little face was still a little red, she seemed to be frightened, and she didn't seem to believe what she saw, and she was still worried about whether Lin Yan would be hurt in any way.
Lin Yan lowered his head and looked down at the little girl who was full of anxiety and concern, and a smile appeared on his face, "Do you see that I look like there is something, the person who should be in trouble is already lying on the ground." ”
He looked relaxed and freehand, as if nothing had happened.
Facing this innocent and lovely little girl, Lin Yan couldn't help but pat her little head dotingly. Although the two are not related by blood, they are completely like brothers and sisters.
"It's okay, I was really scared to death just now, I'm worried that you can't beat him, brother!" Seeing that Brother Lin Yan easily defeated Lin Xu, the little girl was still in a dream, and her eyes were full of little stars.
"It's just a piece of waste, and I don't care about it. Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, just smiled faintly.
Although his tone was very calm, at this moment, Lin Xu heard that his face was hot, and it was very unpleasant, which was even more uncomfortable than slapping his face!
"He's really able to cultivate!"
The eyes of the people around him looking at Lin Yan became complicated, some were envious, some were disdainful, some were suspicious, and some were surprised!
And Lin Mengqi's beautiful face at this time became extremely pale, I don't know what she felt in her heart! And Lin Long on the side may find it even more difficult to believe what is happening in front of her......

The talent test of the younger generation was not affected by this competition, and it did not take long for it to be officially held.
A high platform of 20 zhang wide lies horizontally in the easternmost part of the martial arts arena, and the high platform is paved with bluestone slabs, which is heavy and atmospheric, and clean and tidy.
There were already many people standing on the high platform, they were all important figures of the Lin family, all of them were neatly dressed, but many of them had serious faces and did not smile, which was in stark contrast to previous years.
In the middle of the high platform is Lin Tianxiong, the patriarch of the Lin family who has just taken office, and to his left and right are four elders, and the five of them constitute the core decision-making layer of the Lin family.
In this talent test, the Lin family did not invite any other families in Qingluo City, nor did they have any guests to watch, which was very different from previous years.
The elders of the Lin family looked solemn, it must be because the Lin family has been suppressed by the royal family of Qingliang Kingdom recently, which is like a heavy stone pressing on the body.
Other important people were standing quietly behind the five of them, Lin Long, Lin Mengqi and others were also impressively listed, unlike the slightly dull atmosphere at the scene, Lin Long and Lin Mengqi were not affected, the expressions on their faces were relaxed, and there was a faint hint of pride, what happened before did not seem to affect their mood.

"The time has come! The talent test conference is now ......"
In a solemn atmosphere, as the current patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Tianxiong announced loudly on the high platform that the Lin family members in the audience did not make any noise, but many teenagers and men immediately moved, walking towards the high platform one by one, many of them showed a trace of excitement and expectation, and most of them still looked very nervous......
Although the Lin family is facing a crisis, these teenage young people are still looking forward to this test, because it is related to each of them, the status and treatment of each family in the family.
Lin Tianqi is the third elder of the Lin family, he and the current patriarch Lin Tianxiong are brothers, and they are in a high position in the Lin family.
Lin Xu is his own grandson, and he is also the grandson he values the most. Because among his several grandsons, that is, Lin Xu's talent is not bad, so he pinned his hopes on Lin Xu, hoping that Lin Xu would be able to grow into a powerhouse in the True Gang Realm in the future.
When Lin Xu appeared on the high platform with his head down, Lin Tianqi was surprised, for Lin Xu, as a grandfather, he knew Lin Xu's character very well, Lin Xu on weekdays was not like this, in the family, in addition to bowing down to Lin Long, Lin Xu was arrogant in front of any junior in the family, and how did he become arrogant today, and he still looked a little discouraged, which made Lin Tianqi quite puzzled.
"Why is this kid a little wrong today!" Lin Tianqi already vaguely felt that something might have happened to his grandson.
"Xu'er, why do you look listless?
Lin Tianqi is very dissatisfied with his grandson's state, today is a talent test, and the stakes are very high, and Lin Xu is so spiritless, the result of the test can be imagined.
After all, in the eyes of the elders of the Lin family, the battle between Lin Yan and Lin Xu was completely a petty fight between children, and this kind of thing is very common in any family, and it is impossible to get into the eyes of the family's higher-ups, or even ignore it at all.
Don't look at it just happened, even if it caused a lot of sensation, but it was only circulated among those teenagers, as the high-level of the Lin family, including the patriarch Lin Tianxiong and the third elder Lin Tianqi and others, they had not heard the news of that battle yet.
Lin Tianqi naturally didn't know the result of the battle between Lin Xu and Lin Yan.
Lin Xu was humiliated from the moment he failed, if it weren't for the importance of this test, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the face to come to the high platform, but he knew very well that many people were staring at him, and those people were also pointing at him, and even very mocking, so it was impossible for him to be justified and hold his head high!
This is also the last thing he wants to face, let alone mention.
But now he has to face his grandfather's troubles, so he has to answer stubbornly: "It's nothing, that ...... I just had a little bit of a conversation with someone...... That's it. ”
Although he also wanted to tell Lin Yan fiercely in front of his grandfather Lin Tianqi, and let his grandfather "avenge himself", but at this moment, he was difficult to speak, because now in front of everyone, he really didn't have the face to say that he was beaten by Lin Yan.
Of course, if it was in private, he would definitely add fuel and vinegar, and even say how miserable he was bullied by Lin Yan, but at this moment, he didn't have such a mind, and he just wanted to try not to let more people know about it.
"What the hell is going on? You make it clear, grandpa is in charge of you. Seeing Lin Xu stumbling, Lin Tianqi could certainly guess that something very unpleasant must have happened to his grandson, and maybe he suffered a lot of losses.
"Hey, it's nothing, grandpa, don't ask too much!" Lin Xu became impatient, not that he didn't want his grandfather to come forward, but this matter was too embarrassing, and he didn't have the face to complain to his grandfather in full view.
Lin Yan is a little younger than him Lin Xu, and it was he Lin Xu who took the initiative to challenge, and he also made the first move, but he was put down by Lin Yan with one move, how could he have the face to say this kind of embarrassing thing in the limelight, let alone cry and complain, otherwise he would be completely ridiculed and despised by everyone.
Don't say it's him, even if anyone refuses to say anything about this kind of shame thrown into grandma's house at this moment.
Lin Tianqi also saw a hint of clues, and knew that Lin Xu must have something unspeakable at the moment, so he didn't ask any more, but set his eyes on the group of young people who were preparing for the test.
"You should know what's going on, who's going to tell me?"
Seeing Lin Tianqi's fierce gaze, these teenagers showed fearful eyes one by one, and they all unconsciously stepped back, and for a while, no one spoke.
Everyone knows that Lin Tianqi, the third elder, values Lin Xu's grandson very much, and they also know that he has always been protective of his shortcomings, and they all know that if anyone takes the initiative to stand up and tell the truth at this time, not only will they offend Lin Xu, but they may also be criticized by this third elder, this kind of thankless thing can only be done by a fool.
Seeing that no one answered his question, Lin Tianqi was furious, but it was not easy to attack.
On the high platform, other people also realized that something was a little strange and couldn't help but be curious, and some people were muttering quietly.
At this time, the patriarch Lin Tianxiong also noticed that Lin Xu's expression was wrong, frowned, feeling a little unusual, and then glanced at Lin Long beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen just now?"
"Grandpa, there is indeed something. Hearing his grandfather ask him, Lin Long was overjoyed and immediately replied that he had wanted to tell Lin Tianxiong for a long time, but he had never had a suitable opportunity.
Then, he elaborated on the incident, and he did not forget to add fuel and vinegar, saying that everything was Lin Yan's initiative to provoke himself, and even how Lin Yan abused and humiliated Lin Mengqi, and he and Lin Xu were also trying to give Lin Mengqi a head......
