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

Chapter 30 Targeting and Exposing

Lin Zhao landed on the training ground and sensed the powerful aura emanating from the stage. After sensing it, he discovered that many disciples had chosen to form teams under these circumstances, with ten teams being the largest.

The ten central figures were all at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao gave a helpless laugh.

Under the rules of the free-for-all, teaming up is obviously more advantageous than fighting alone, and this first challenge also tests the disciples' interpersonal skills.

Although many disciples had no hope of winning first place, in order to stimulate their enthusiasm, the Lin family set up other rewards for passing the test and generous prizes for the top ten.

This family competition is the largest in the Lin family's history. If I lose in this competition, it will affect my father's prestige in the family.

Lin Zhao looked at the Lin family disciples surrounding him and raised an eyebrow: "Are you planning to fight with numbers against fewer people?"

The leading youth exchanged a glance with Lin Yuan from a distance, then instantly gained confidence, shook his head maliciously, and said sarcastically, "Third Miss, blame yourself for being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Don't you know how hard it is for us lackeys to risk our lives for a single resource?"

Lin Zhao seemed to understand something: "So someone paid you to deal with me?"

The boy refused to say any more and coldly shouted, "Attack together!"

Clearly, the other party had no intention of giving her even the slightest chance.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Zhao realized that three of the people attacking her were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, indicating that they still considered her to be at the pre-training stage.

The only person unaware that she had already reached the Great Perfection realm and possessed both the financial resources and the motive was Lin Yuan!
Lin Zhao shook her head and murmured softly, "It seems my return has posed a threat to some people."

Under the onslaught from all directions, Lin Zhao smirked: "Come at me all at once? Don't even mention that I'm already at the Great Perfection stage. Even if I were still in the late Foundation Establishment stage, what could you rabble do to me?"

Green flames shot into the sky, and in an instant, more than a dozen late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples were carried away by the giant fiery hand and thrown off the platform.

With a single move, Lin Zhao eliminated more than a dozen people without even drawing his sword.

She reached out her hand, and before she arrived, the palm wind struck first. One of the three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators was the first to feel the intense heat and pain coming towards him. A sweet, metallic taste welled up in his mouth, and under the intense heat of the palm wind, he even felt the threat of death!
The next moment, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator fled to another location amidst everyone's astonished gazes, actually abandoning the encirclement and suppression out of fear of the attack that had not yet arrived.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him didn't react as quickly. The next moment, Lin Zhao was already in front of him. Before he could dodge, Lin Zhao slapped him out of the martial arts arena.

Seeing his team crumble in just over ten seconds, even a fool would realize that the girl before him was beyond his ability to defeat. So, driven by malice, he lashed out with a ferocious tirade: "Lin Zhao, so what if you beat us? Compared to the three prodigies of the Lin family, you're still trash! I'll be waiting for you, the former number one genius of the Lin family, to be eliminated!"

Lin Zhao lifted him up expressionlessly, "Have you finished talking nonsense?"

The boy's face turned pale as Lin Zhao punched him in the stomach, sending him crashing to the ground.

The boy collapsed to the ground like a lump of dead mud, spitting out a mouthful of blood; his fate was unknown.

Those on and off stage gasped at the sight, especially the eliminated disciples who had previously mocked Lin Zhao alongside Lin Yi.

They finally understood that the seemingly mild-mannered young master of the family was not a spineless coward who could be easily manipulated. They had simply not angered Lin Zhao before, but once she made a move, she was ruthless and decisive beyond her peers.

The rescue workers below the stage rushed forward, and after checking him over, their expressions were somewhat strange.

The kid's internal organs are unharmed, but his skin, flesh, and bones have been severely damaged by the internal force. He won't be able to get out of bed for at least a year or two.

The young master's methods are truly more cunning than some seasoned veterans.

However, Lin Zhao's intervention did have its advantages. At least the others on the stage dared not provoke this evil star, as they did not believe they were much stronger than those dozen disciples.

After all, there are over two hundred people who can advance, so there's no need to sacrifice your own advancement opportunity to challenge Lin Zhao.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Zhao decided against attacking Lin Yuan immediately. This wasn't out of fear, but rather because dealing with Lin Yuan now would inevitably require using his trump cards. Using them now would be disadvantageous should he encounter Lin Long and Lin Ya later.

So Lin Zhao began to carefully observe the three men's battle. To her disappointment, the three men barely made a move in the first round; it was all the team members around them who cleared out the opponents.

Compared to the fact that they were cleaning for more than a dozen people all by themselves, these three were having a very leisurely time.

"It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others," Lin Zhao sighed, shaking his head.

Soon the referee gave the order, indicating that the remaining number of people was 235.

Lin Zhao looked at the remaining disciples, and as she had expected, most of them were in the late Foundation Establishment stage and a few were in the middle Foundation Establishment stage, including the ten Foundation Establishment Perfection stage disciples.

"The results of today's first round are in. The following disciples will advance to the second round: Lin Long, Lin Ya, Lin Yuan, Lin..."

As more than two hundred names were read out one by one, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his own name in the middle.

"The second round of the points competition is divided into five groups. Forty-seven people are in each group, and they will compete against each other in pairs within the group. Each person has ten matches, and the opponents are randomly assigned within the group. Each match lasts for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The winner gets two points, and the loser gets no points. If the score is tied after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, both players get one point. If the scores are tied, a tiebreaker match will be held. The top two players in the last five groups will advance to the final round, which will also be the top ten in this competition."

Lin Zhao's expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this rule.

If we put all the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators in one group, wouldn't that be unfair?

This idea was also shared by most of the disciples.

The referee seemed to have seen through their thoughts and said, "Considering that the third stage will proceed normally, each group will have at least two Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection experts."

Lin Zhao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Now, please come up to the stage to draw lots."

Just as Lin Zhao was about to step forward, Lin Yuan exchanged a glance with the disciple who was in charge of the lottery. The disciple was about to make a move when he was stopped by the senior disciple next to him.

"Elder, it was he who added something to the incense for the timekeeping, causing the competition to start ahead of schedule!"

As the elder came to inquire about the matter, the other elders and Lin Mang also came over. "What's wrong?"

The old master glanced at the trembling disciple and said, "This kid must have been possessed by some evil spirit. He added something to the incense for the timekeeping, and almost caused the Third Miss to miss the competition."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mang glanced at the Seventh Elder, his face instantly turning ashen.

The old man slowly lowered his head and added, "We were just about to take action on the drawing of lots."

The old master's disciple presented the tampered fortune slips found on his person.

The disciple who had started the fight was exposed and immediately knelt on the ground, pleading, "Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life!"

Lin Mang glanced at the Seventh Elder and sneered, "You actually have the nerve to obstruct the young master's affairs? Is someone instructing you?"

The Seventh Elder glanced at Lin Yuan, whose expression had suddenly changed, cursed under his breath, and then gave a wink to one of his stewards.

The manager had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Master, please forgive me. I misunderstood. I had evil thoughts because of my unworthy grandson who is participating in the competition."
