After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 26 Battle against Su Bai 1
Upon hearing this, Su Bai's smile instantly became much more genuine.

Seeing that Su Bai seemed to be in a good mood, Lin Zhao tentatively asked, "Xiao Bai, can you do me a favor?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "Of course."

"I plan to go to Hundred Beasts Mountain outside Lin Family City to gain practical combat experience. Before that, I'd like to find someone to spar with." Lin Zhao cupped his hands in greeting, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "Little Bai, are you willing?"

"When?"

"See you at the family martial arts arena this afternoon."

Su Bai nodded.

……

"You want to fight Su Bai?" Lin Mang looked at his daughter disapprovingly: "Do you know how strong that child is now? Aren't you afraid he'll cripple you?"

Lin Zhaoyi remained unfazed: "Progress is only possible through pressure."

Lin Mang couldn't win an argument with his youngest daughter; at home, his status was only slightly higher than that of his two sons.

Therefore, Lin Mang could only remind his youngest daughter, just like a mother would, "Take care of your health, and don't let yourself be like your two older brothers..."

When Lin Zhao's elder brother was mentioned, a look of deep sorrow flashed in Lin Mang's eyes, and then he said no more.

Lin Zhao's elder brother was sent to the border of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent before she got engaged to Yaochi Holy Land. She spent very little time with him. In Lin Zhao's memory, there were only two somewhat blurry boy figures standing next to Yao Yun, vying to hug their younger sister.

Lin Zhao asked, "Have my brothers been in contact with me recently? Have they sent me any?"

Lin Mang sighed. "You'll see them if you have the chance in the future."

Lin Zhao was very clever and quickly realized what was going on, so she stopped mentioning her brother.

"Your father and mother both want you to be safe and sound." Lin Mang stroked his daughter's hair. "But whatever you want to do, just do it. Your father and mother will support you."

Upon hearing this, Grandma couldn't help but ask, "Do you have an older brother?"

She had always thought that Lin Zhaoxing was the third child in the family ranking, but she never expected that the head of the Lin family really had two more children before her.

“I have two older brothers who have no talent for cultivation.”

"That's impossible!" Grandma blurted out. "Your parents are both high-level cultivators. It's one in ten thousand for them to have a child without talent."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted, and then she clenched her fists.

So the two older brothers weren't banished because they lacked talent?
What could be the reason that even a prominent family couldn't protect its own legitimate son and had to send him away?

"Thinking about these things now is pointless. You should focus on improving your strength as soon as possible. The sparring partner you found is good. Su Bai's spiritual root is an extremely rare mutated single spiritual root, the lightning spiritual root. Such a spiritual root is hard to come by."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue in amazement. A single spiritual root aptitude is already one in ten thousand, let alone a mutated single spiritual root.

I never imagined that the little boy I picked up on a whim back then would have such terrifying talent.

Meanwhile, the news that Lin Zhao was going to compete against Su Bai in the martial arts arena caused a sensation throughout the entire Lin Family City.

Public opinion in Linjiacheng is almost unanimously against him.

"Although Miss Lin had good aptitude before, she's only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage after ten years. Where did she get the audacity to compete with Young Master Su?"

Some people maliciously speculated: "Maybe he got used to being tortured at Genting Highlands and couldn't stand the peaceful life he had at home after a few days."

"This Miss Lin is rather arrogant and ignorant."

Before Lin Zhao went on stage, Lin Yi, along with her sisters from the Lin family, mocked her, "Has the Third Miss been staying at Cloud Peak for too long that she can't even tell the difference between different levels of strength?" Lin Zhao looked at Lin Yi. If Lin Yi's tenth level of Foundation Establishment was still a threat to Lin Zhao's sixth level of Foundation Establishment, now that Lin Zhao had advanced to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, Lin Yi no longer posed any threat to her.

Lin Zhao had no desire to waste words with her and walked past her onto the stage.

Lin Yi gritted her teeth in anger at his nonchalant attitude: "I'd like to see how you'll completely lose face today!"

A Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator dares to challenge Su Bai? Is he insane?!
Amidst the expectant and adoring gazes of Lin Yi and the other girls, Su Bai walked over, dressed in a smart blue Taoist robe.

Then everyone was somewhat surprised to find that Su Bai and Lin Zhao were not only wearing the same color, but also had similar styles. The two of them standing together had a strange sense of harmony.

Lin Yi noticed the thoughtful gazes around her, lowered her brows, and smiled faintly, "The head of the family is truly thoughtful, preparing such clothes for the young master and young master Su."

Everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, I see!"

No wonder the two of them were dressed like that; they probably thought Su Bai and Lin Zhao had something going on.

However, they could only think about such things. After all, Lin Zhao's previous fiancé was also an exceptional genius. If he were to have something going on with Su Bai, they would be genuinely jealous.

Lin Zhao was also thoroughly amazed, giving Su Bai a thumbs up and praising him generously: "When my little Bai grows up a bit more, even 'male beauty and femme fatale' won't be enough to describe you."

A long spear slowly appeared in Su Bai's hand. He smiled, and there was a hint of expectation in his deep eyes: "Can it charm my sister?"

Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, "Let your older sister see what level you've reached all these years!"

As soon as the referee gave the whistle, the two players on the field changed their demeanor instantly. The previous harmonious atmosphere disappeared, leaving only a tense and deadly atmosphere.

Lin Zhao gripped the bone sword horizontally, silently chanted an incantation, and unleashed a burst of fire.

This is the most basic fire attack technique, but the green flames that Lin Zhao unleashed were clearly different. The flames transformed into a bright green firebird just before they touched Su Bai.

"Spiritual energy manifesting? This girl's control over spiritual energy is truly terrifying." The Second Elder sat on the judging panel, chatting with the First Elder, but when he looked at Lin Mang, he still intentionally or unintentionally belittled Lin Zhao: "It's a pity that she hasn't been valued at Cloud Peak all these years. Observing the power of this spiritual energy, it's probably only the spiritual energy cultivated by a fifth-grade technique, right? Not to mention compared to Su Bai, it's not even worth mentioning compared to the three in the family."

Those three were the potential talents that the elders believed were most likely to win the family competition and enter the South China Sea Academy.

While Lin Zhao's performance was impressive in their eyes, it was still somewhat inferior to theirs.

Lin Mang stared expressionlessly at the longsword and green spiritual energy in Lin Zhao's hand, replying indifferently, "We haven't shown our full strength yet, why are you all in such a hurry?"

The Second Elder chuckled, his smile somewhat sinister, but his gaze toward Lin Zhao still held a hint of contempt.

He wanted to see just how thick-skinned Lin Mang would be to say such things after Lin Zhao had made a fool of himself!
Lin Zhao was unaware of the undercurrents on the judges' panel, while Su Bai, facing the emerald firebird, extended a slender palm, from which pale purple lightning burst forth, resembling a purple lotus flower, and poured into the firebird's body.

As the Firebird and Lightning fought fiercely, Lin Zhao also stepped forward with his sword, his body shimmering with light, a mixture of milky white and pale green spiritual energy, as he attacked Su Bai.

Su Bai swung his spear, which collided with Lin Zhao's Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

As the spear and sword clashed, Lin Zhao was instantly shaken so badly that his hands went numb, and his gaze became somewhat serious.

The power of the Golden Core stage was indeed not something I could easily shake.

Fortunately, she never intended to win by force in the first place.

Lin Zhao raised her bone sword, and a pair of green fire wings opened behind her. With a flap of her wings, she flew into the sky, pointing her bone sword. Her speed was so fast that only afterimages remained, and she headed straight for Su Bai's face.

The sword flashed and swirled, the wind and shadows were fierce.

The Swan Sword Technique!
