"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and the ground in front of Lin Yi was blasted out of a ten-meter-sized hole, and this was only his subsequent punch.

"It's done, fifty times the increase in physical fitness plus the addition of the power of the earth, the power is so powerful! If you use all your strength or attach the power of the shock seal, how powerful should it be?!" Lin Yi said with joy after seeing this scene.

Immediately, Lin Yi thought of one thing, that is, after the two are fused, it is a new ability, and it should be given a name.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "It's called the Nine Styles of Chess Painting, and this is the first style, and then after I learn the other moves of the Nine Kills of Chess Battle and the Nine Strokes of Heavenly Painting, there will be the second style, the third style and even the ninth style!"

"The nine styles of chess painting are my killer skills, and I can't use them until I have to, and the power is too amazing. Lin Yi looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

............................................................

On the fifth day of the three major forces joining forces to encircle and suppress the Sun family and the Sword and Fire Guild, that is, half a month after Lin Yi's return, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly issued an announcement, that is, the annual battle for geniuses in Hunhe City would start in one day!

The battle for genius in Hunhe City, every family can participate, and the top three in the final ranking will be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion, which is also a competition set up by the City Lord's Mansion to encourage the younger generation, and last year, because Lin Yi left, he did not participate in Cheng.

Recently, there has been a lot of fighting, and the City Lord's Mansion originally wanted to postpone the game day, but with the Text Association. After the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce discussed. The decision went ahead as scheduled.

After the announcement of the castle lord's mansion. At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion met with the leaders of the five major forces, Ling Huo, Lin Ba and others, and informed them that they would temporarily cease the war and settle it at will after the battle for geniuses had passed.

And the five of them also reached an agreement. During the battle for geniuses, he didn't know how to do it, so far, Sun Shaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least, he could relax for many days, and he didn't have to worry about being knocked on by people from the three major forces.

And on the streets of Hunhe City, everyone is talking about the arrival of the genius battle, because if you want to be famous, the genius battle is a good shortcut. Many families, big ones. It is still a small family, and they are all grinding their fists, ready to send out the most outstanding disciples of their own family to participate in the battle for genius.

There is no restriction on the competition for talents, as long as you dare to sign up, you can participate, and after round after round of selection, the top ten rankings will be finally determined.

............................................................

Sun's house, the council hall.

Sun Shaoyun sat on the chair with a pensive face, Sun Linxue sat quietly next to him, and the other elders sat on the chair one after another.

After a long time, a smile appeared on Sun Shaoyun's face, looked at Sun Linxue, and said with a smile: "Linxue, you have also heard of the genius battle this time, right?"

Sun Linxue nodded and said, "I know, father." "Sun Linxue has always been obsessed with last year's genius battle, because in last year's talent battle, in the final, he lost to his rival Ling Hua, so that Ling Hua won the first place, although he got the second, but compared with the first, it is far behind, after all, everyone will only talk about Ling Hua in the first place, but no one will talk about Sun Linxue in the second place.

Seeing Sun Linxue's face change slightly, Sun Shaoyun nodded: "Linxue, this time is an opportunity for our Sun family, if you show amazing talent in the competition, let the City Lord's Mansion recognize you, and have a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, maybe the City Lord's Mansion will come forward to protect our Sun family at that time." ”

Hearing Sun Shaoyun's words, many elders looked at Sun Linxue one after another, because they also thought that this was an opportunity.

"But Lin Yi ......" Sun Linxue's face was a little ugly, and he said in a low voice, he didn't come out of the shadow of being defeated by Lin Yi now, and he was very irritable when he thought of Lin Yi defeating him with one move.

Sun Shaoyun shook his head gently, and then said mysteriously: "I will give you the family heirloom of the crew, you have him, you don't need to worry about Lin Yi at all, as long as you can get the first place in the competition, our Sun family will be saved." ”

After hearing this, Sun Linxue's eyes shot out a terrifying golden light, and he hurriedly asked, "Father, can you really let me use it?"

Of course, Sun Linxue knew what the Sun family's family heirloom treasure was, and if he had that treasure, he was very confident that he would be able to defeat Lin Yi.

"Of course!" Sun Shaoyun nodded heavily.

After Sun Linxue saw it, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he said, "Don't worry, father, this time I will definitely trample Lin Yi under my feet!"

............................................................

At the same time, all the families were nervously preparing, and they all wanted their family's most outstanding disciples to achieve a good ranking in the genius battle.

In the Lin family's mansion, in Lin Yi's courtyard, Ling Tie and Lin Yi were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, talking about the past.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Ling Tie hasn't changed much, but Lin Yi has become even more unfathomable.

Ling Tie gently took a sip of the tea on the stone table, with a smile on his face, looked at Lin Yi, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a year, you have reached the level of art spirit, and I am only the strength of the soul refining stage, this gap is really ......."

"Brother Ling, you don't have to blame yourself, along the way of cultivation, you must always keep a normal heart, once there is a change in your mood, your cultivation will stagnate. Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Alas...... I also see it, no matter what, let it be, by the way, Brother Lin, tomorrow's genius battle, you will definitely participate, right?" Ling Tie shook his head helplessly and asked.

Lin Yi also heard about this genius battle, he nodded and said, "Well, I will participate." "Actually, Lin Yi didn't want to participate in this level of battle, but Lin Ba once talked to Lin Yi and said that this was an opportunity for the family, so in the end Lin Yi decided to participate.

"Well, you're going to get first place, there's no doubt about it. Ling Tie nodded heavily and said loudly.

"Haha. Is that. Lin Yi also nodded confidently and smiled.

"This time after the battle for genius is over. It is estimated that the ranking above the Tianjiao Monument is going to change again, right?" Ling Tie muttered to himself.

............................................................

In the anxious waiting of the crowd. The next day finally came.

Early in the morning, many families brought the children of the younger generation to the central square of Hunhe City, which will be the battlefield where the battle for geniuses will be held, there is a very huge martial arts platform in the center of the central square, and at the front is a rostrum, surrounded by stands, those who wanted to participate in the talent battle yesterday have already signed up, and today the list has been unified.

When Lin Yi followed Lin Ba and the others to arrive. The square was already crowded with people, and there were some unfamiliar faces everywhere, and of course some familiar faces could be seen.

Lin Ba said to Lin Wu and the others, and then walked straight onto the rostrum, the patriarchs of the major families will sit on the rostrum, only the patriarchs of those small families are not qualified to sit on it.

Lin Wu led the Lin family to the area belonging to the Lin family, next to the Lin family was the area of the Ling family, and the two brothers, Ling Tie and Linghua, naturally said hello after seeing Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi sat down, he suddenly felt someone watching him, and he turned his head to look. Amazingly, in the opposite area. Sun Linxue looked at him with a sneer, but he ignored Sun Linxue's provocative gaze, turned his head and continued to chat with his sister Lin Yuer.

"Hmph!Lin Yi, I will definitely stomp you under your feet this time!" Sun Linxue said coldly.

At this moment, Ling Tie also sat beside Lin Yi and introduced some more powerful people to Lin Yi.

"Brother Lin, under the martial arts stage in the central square, do you see it, there is a huge stone tablet there. Ling Tie pointed to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi followed Ling Tie's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a huge stone tablet, standing horizontally under the martial arts stage.

"That's the Tianjiao Monument, the names of the top twenty geniuses in Hunhe City are all on it, you take a closer look, there is handwriting on it. Ling Tie continued.

When Lin Yi heard this, he looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, there were many handwritings on the Tianjiao Monument, and the first one was Ling Hua.

Seeing this, Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at Ling Hua who closed his eyes in the distance, he was able to rank above the Tianjiao Monument, even if it was the twentieth place, its potential was amazing, and many people were proud of being able to climb the Tianjiao Monument, let alone the first.

"This is last year's ranking, and it is estimated that after the end of this year's talent battle, the first place will be Brother Lin's name. Ling Tie said with a smile.

Lin Yi then looked down, and the second place was Sun Linxue, both of whom were people in the early stage of the art spirit level, and the third place was Gu Changfeng of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, the fourth place was Helian Bai of the Ice Blade Guild, and the fifth place was He Shen of the City Lord's Mansion............

Lin Yi watched carefully, above the Tianjiao Monument, most of the top twenty were at the strength of the soul refining stage, and only Ling Hua and Sun Linxue took the lead and reached the level of art spirit.

There are many people Lin Yi has heard of, and there are some people who Lin Yi doesn't know, but these don't matter, because in Lin Yi's opinion, the so-called battle for genius can't get into his eyes at all.

"If it weren't for the sake of helping the clan deter other forces, I wouldn't have participated in this time-wasting tournament at all. Lin Yi muttered to himself.

And at this moment, the people from the City Lord's Mansion came, the City Lord took the lead, and He Shen followed.

And after seeing the arrival of the people from the City Lord's Mansion, everyone got up to greet them.

The city lord waved his hand lightly, then walked up to the rostrum and sat in the most central position.

"City Lord He, you're finally here, haha. Ling Huo and the others greeted Lord He with a smile.

"City Lord He. Sun Shaoyun also said hello to City Lord He, but his eyes glared at Ling Huo and the others fiercely.

"Haha, everyone is here, today is my annual battle for geniuses in Hunhe City, everyone put aside their personal grievances and work together to make the battle for genius end perfectly. City Lord He said with a smile, in fact, everyone knows that he is talking about Sun Shaoyun and others.

Ling Huo and the others smiled and didn't say anything.

"Brother Lin, do you say that this time, will there be any dark horses?" In the lower area, Ling Tie asked Lin Yi in a low voice.

"Who knows. Lin Yi said indifferently.

"It's not my brother's opponent anyway. Lin Yu'er, who was on the side, wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's arm with both hands, said proudly, and then pulled Lin Yi's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, there are a lot of people participating in this competition, but you must be the most powerful, there is no suspense in winning the first place, and Brother Ling Hua should be the second, hum! Although Sun Linxue hates it, his strength is still good, and he should be the third, although I hope he can't get the third......

"Hehe, this time there are only three of us at the art spirit level, unless there is really any dark horse appearing, otherwise this Sun Linxue wants to fall below the third, it is estimated that it is unlikely. Lin You touched Lin Yu'er's head helplessly and said. (To be continued.) )
