Chapter 61: A Difficult Choice
Hearing a muffled sound of "bang!", Lin Dong, who was banged with his fists on the competition platform, was unsteady under his feet, retreated more than ten steps in a row, and retreated to the edge of the competition platform. He tried to stabilize his body but couldn't stabilize it after all, he fell straight off the stage, and rolled backwards twice in time when he landed, before finally unloading all the strength of Lin Tao's punch.
There was an uproar from the audience......
Everyone knew that Lin Tao was a fifth-order peak cultivator, and they also knew that Lin Dong was a mid-fifth-order cultivator, under normal circumstances, there was no problem for Lin Tao to defeat Lin Dong, but at least a dozen moves would take it.
But...... Just now, Lin Tao had clearly shown the strength of the sixth order! Above the fifth order, each order was higher, the difference was very large, and it was not on the same order at all, it was completely overwhelming. Therefore, the battle between the two will be like just now, Lin Dong threw a punch with all his strength, Lin Tao just came back with an understatement and resolved it, and directly knocked Lin Dong off the competition platform!
"I lost!"
After Lin Dong regained his footing under the competition platform, he arched his hands left and right in all directions, and walked back behind Lin Zhenhai with an ugly face. Obviously, the scene just now hit him too hard, he originally thought that he could at least have a dozen moves with Lin Tao, but he didn't expect to be knocked out of the competition platform with one move.
It's so embarrassing!
This Lin Tao didn't know when Lu Dao had advanced to the sixth order, and he knew that Lin Tao had advanced to the sixth order, Lin Dong would not go up to challenge him, and it was purely boring to go up in such a situation. Today's face is really too great! Succeeding to the position of head of the family, don't think about it anymore.
Lin Xiaotian, Lin Zhenlong, Lin Zhenhu, and Lin Zhenhai all looked at Lin Tao on the competition platform with a solemn face.
With his current strength, he can indeed be called a martial arts genius, if it was changed to before, it should be a great joy that the Lin family had such a martial arts genius, but now no one is happy.
Lin Xiaotian knew that after today's martial arts competition, he would have to face a difficult choice, which was to comply with the pressure of Gan Ba, the town lord of Barrel River Town, and let Lin Tao, the first place in the martial arts competition, succeed him as the head of the family, or forcibly nominate other clansmen's children to succeed him as the head of the family.
This Lin Zhenshan father and son have obviously defected to the Zhao family in Yanshi Town now, and if Lin Tao succeeds him as the head of the Lin family, the Lin family's industry will definitely be divided between the Zhao family and the Gan family in the future, and the Lin family will eventually become a puppet family, which Lin Xiaotian absolutely cannot tolerate.
But disobeying Ganba's instructions and forcibly preventing Lin Tao, the first place in the martial arts competition, from succeeding to the head of the family, is indeed a little unreasonable, and secondly, Ganba will not give up, which is still a disaster for the Lin family.
"Brother Lin Dong has conceded!" Lin Tao arched his hand on the competition platform, pretending to be modest but couldn't help but look proud, and looked in the direction where Lin Zhou was.
The purpose of his coming here today was not Lin Dong, but Lin Zhou! He hoped that Lin Zhou would come on stage to compete with him, and then he would beat Lin Zhou into a pig's head in public in order to save the face he had lost on the martial arts platform in the center of the town.
"Brother Lin Tao is amazing!"
"Brother Lin Tao is a martial arts genius!"
"Brother Lin Tao is a model for my generation!
“......”
Lin Tao's group of followers immediately began to make noise, and from the strength that Lin Tao showed just now, they could all see that Lin Tao had obviously advanced to the sixth order!
At the age of seventeen, he advanced to the sixth order, and the future is limitless!
Lin Zhenshan's face showed a smug look, but after a while, he suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but feel a pain and sadness in his heart, and then looked in the direction where Lin Zhou and Lin Zhenlong were with a grim face.
For the position of the successor head of the family, he lost his beloved son, and let his beloved son's soul endure great pain and be devoured by the ghost, this revenge must be avenged by Lin Zhenlong's father and son! If there is a chance, he will also let Lin Zhenlong and Lin Zhou taste the pain of the soul being devoured by the ghost!
"Since it's a martial arts tournament, let's all go up and have fun! Lin Xiaotian saw that Lin Tao was standing alone on the competition platform, and no one went up to challenge, so he shouted to the four sides.
Hearing Lin Xiaotian shout like this, there were two children in the early fifth order of Lin Jiabao's new generation, and they also jumped on the stage to discuss with Lin Tao at this time. Because their relationship with Lin Tao was not bad before, Lin Tao was not as ruthless to them as Lin Dong, and let them go through a few moves on the stage, defeating their Xuanjia lightly and then retreating to the side.
Lin Tao now wants to show the posture of a strong man, and if he wins, he must also win grace, and strive for more sympathy points for himself in the elders' meeting in the future.
"Is there anyone in the clan who has gone up to challenge?" Lin Xiaotian couldn't help frowning when he saw that Lin Tao on the competition platform had no one to challenge again. If Lin Tao won the first place in the martial arts competition, and won the first place so easily, he would be a little embarrassed in the elders' meeting.
If Lin Tao is forcibly suppressed, Lin Jiabao will face pressure from many aspects, especially on the Gan Ba side, and it will be difficult for the Lin family to gain a foothold in Tonghe Town in the future.
The three fifth-order disciples in the new generation were all defeated by Lin Tao one after another, and they were defeated when Lin Tao had not yet exerted his full strength, and the other disciples of the Lin family were not as good as those three, at this time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one went up to challenge again.
This Lin Tao has obviously advanced to the sixth order, and if he goes up, he won't have to fight at all! If Lin Tao's subordinates are ruthless, they will be like Lin Dong, and they won't be able to pass a single move, and their faces will be lost.
Su Muqin looked at Lin Zhou...... Seeing Lin Zhou's leisurely expression, as if it was none of her business, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Could it be that now that Lin Tao has advanced to the sixth order, Lin Zhou knows that he is not an opponent, so he also gives up?
Seeing that no one dared to challenge Lin Tao on the martial arts platform, Lin Zhenshan's gloomy face finally bloomed a little, he stood up and arched his hand to the surroundings and then opened his mouth loudly: "Gantishi, Patriarch Zhao, Second Uncle, Patriarch, all the elders of Lin Jiabao, all the brothers and brothers of the clan, all the fathers and villagers of Tonghe Town! The results of this martial arts competition have been released, I think there should be no suspense about the candidate for the successor of the Lin family, right? With Tao'er's genius, the future of Lin Jiabao will definitely be stronger!"
"Gan Ti Ha, looking at the results of this martial arts competition, there should be no objection to Tao'er's first place, right?" Zhao Hengyan also stood up and said a few words loudly.
"That...... Great Elder, according to your meaning, if you win the first place in the martial arts competition, you should be selected as the successor head of the family, right?" Lin Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lin Zhenshan from afar.
"Of course, this is the rule handed down by the ancestors of my Lin family! Otherwise, what are you doing with this martial arts competition? Could it be that the successor family mainly chooses a waste like you to serve as a waste?" Lin Zhenshan looked at Lin Zhou with a mocking expression.
Very unexpected...... After Lin Zhou was taunted by Lin Zhenshan, he actually increased his taunt experience points by more than 20 points all of a sudden......! Is it true that the higher the martial arts cultivation of the person who issued the taunt, the more taunt experience points will increase?
Or is there a lot of seventh- and eighth-order powerhouses present today?
However, Lin Zhou didn't have time to think about and study this matter now.
"Okay, I'll go up and learn a few tricks with Lin Tao's cousin! If the winner is decided, the winner will become the successor head of the family, and you can't break your word, Great Elder!" Lin Zhou replied to Lin Zhenshan with a smile.
Although the successor patriarch of the Lin family was the first place in the new generation martial arts conference in the past, this did not become the rule of the Lin family, and the final decision was in the hands of the elders. But since Lin Zhenshan said it so publicly, Lin Zhou might as well use his own words to plug his mouth, lest after winning that Lin Tao later, this Lin Zhenshan will make a lot of other nonsense at the elders' meeting.
"Of course the old man is talking! It's Zhou'er, you have to think about it clearly! Although the competition is a competition, but after all, the fists and feet are not long-sighted, if you hurt somewhere, don't cry everywhere and sue my family Tao'er!" Lin Zhenshan replied to Lin Zhou with disdain.
