Chapter 32 One move
The draw was held again the following day.
Lin Zhao was drawn into the third group. She glanced at the other people in the group and cursed her bad luck inwardly.
In the area where Group Three was located, a tall figure stood there, with a young man beside her whose aura was in no way inferior to hers.
Lin Ya and another Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator!
With myself added in, there are now three Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection experts in the three groups. If we want to advance, we will have to eliminate one Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection expert.
Seeing the lottery results, Lin Yuan, who was originally full of resentment, couldn't help but feel smug.
"You little bitch, I'd like to see how you, who advanced through unorthodox methods, will fare before you truly reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!"
Although Lin Zhao unleashed his Great Perfection level strength in the first round, thwarting all of his plans, Lin Yuan did not believe that anyone could actually advance directly from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to Great Perfection within a month.
Even someone as talented as him took three full years to advance from the late stage to the Great Perfection. Judging others by his own standards, he couldn't help but maliciously speculate that Lin Zhao's rapid advancement must have been due to some benefit given by the family head.
Once he wins the championship and enters the South China Sea Academy, he must ensure that the position of family head falls into the hands of their lineage. In this way, all of Lin Zhao's benefits will be his!
When the time comes, he, the current young master, will definitely arrange for the beautiful former young master to marry into a "good family" so that the family can benefit!
Lin Ya was also somewhat surprised by the result, but she was easygoing and not as narrow-minded and extreme as Lin Yuan. After learning that Lin Zhao's strength had improved so quickly, she could only sigh that the times made the man.
Therefore, upon seeing this result, she was still able to calmly bow to Lin Zhao and another Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator, saying, "It seems that the three of us will inevitably have to fight. I hope you two can give me some pointers then."
The Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator quickly returned the greeting, and Lin Zhao also smiled and returned the greeting: "Please enlighten me, Cousin and Brother Lin Ye."
Lin Ye was surprised that Lin Zhao would remember his name, and immediately blushed, bowing shyly to Lin Zhao.
With the release of the draw results, the match list for each person's ten matches was also quickly finalized.
When Lin Zhao saw her opponent in the ninth match, if it weren't for the fact that her own father had been watching the process, she would have suspected that Lin Yuan was plotting something again.
Ninth opponent: Lin Ya.
To secure a promotion spot, you need to win all ten matches.
Otherwise, no one will care how strong your opponent is; if you don't have enough points, you'll be eliminated.
These are the rules, and they cannot be changed.
When Lin Mang saw his daughter's match list, he wiped his sweat and sighed, "How come your luck is so bad? What are we going to do?"
Lin Zhao rolled her eyes inelegantly, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "What else can we do? Fight them."
In the first match, Lin Zhao's opponent was a Foundation Establishment Level 9 cultivator. Lin Zhao recognized him as Lin Xu, one of the people next to Lin Yuan. He exhaled lightly, but before he could say anything, the other party spoke.
"Young Master, although you seem to be at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, you've only just entered the tenth level of Foundation Establishment, haven't you? It's best to avoid using such methods that force growth, as they can hinder the future of us cultivators."
Lin Xu's advice seemed sincere, but the contempt in his words clearly told the others that Lin Zhao's advancement in strength was suspicious and unstable.
After all, three levels in a month—that's a terrifying rate of advancement.
Lin Zhao's strength is undeniable, so only this kind of statement can make their burning jealousy feel a little better.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "The reason why mediocre people are mediocre is that they think that if they can't do it, no one else can either."
Lin Xu's face suddenly darkened.
Lin Zhao's words were tantamount to stepping on his sore spot.
Birds of a feather flock together.
He could associate with Lin Yuan, and he agreed with Lin Yuan's ideas. They had long been jealous of Lin Zhao, the former number one genius of the Lin family, so how could they possibly admit to his resurgence? "Young Master, no matter what, you will lose in the competition this time. Since you've already fallen into the mire, don't even think about getting up. I'll tell you how vulnerable your fake cultivation is in the face of real, genuine advancement."
After saying that, he drew a large sword from his waist, the sword shimmering with blue light.
It's hard to believe that Lin Xu, wielding such a domineering weapon as a broadsword, is actually a water-based cultivator.
Lin Zhao summoned his bone sword, and the swords clashed, suddenly sparking bright flames.
Lin Zhao and Lin Xu simultaneously poured surging spiritual power into their weapons.
boom!
The next moment, as the emerald fire of the longsword clashed with the blue mist of the broadsword, Lin Xu spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back dozens of steps before regaining his footing. However, his knees were weak and he was almost kneeling down to Lin Zhao, having lost all ability to fight!
At that moment, the entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
In fact, there were quite a few people present who shared the same thoughts as Lin Yuan and Lin Xu.
It wasn't all out of jealousy towards Lin Zhao, but the fact that he went from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the Great Perfection stage in just one month was something that even the Lin family had never seen in its most prosperous period!
But at this moment, he repelled a cultivator who had been at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for three years with a single move, directly rendering the opponent powerless. This completely showed everyone how genuine Lin Zhao's Foundation Establishment Perfection was, and even more powerful than ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators!
After all, defeating a Foundation Establishment Stage 9 cultivator in one move is rare even among Foundation Establishment Stage 3 cultivators. At least Lin Ya and the others wouldn't dare say they could definitely do it.
"Excellent! As expected of my daughter, Lin Mang!"
After a brief silence, Lin Mang was the first to slam his fist on the table and burst into laughter.
The Seventh Elder's expression was quite interesting as he watched the scene unfold.
A whole month? What kind of monster is Lin Zhao?
Who can go from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the Great Perfection stage in just one month?!
At this rate, Lin Zhao might even be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future!
If the Lin family were to produce another Nascent Soul cultivator, their position as a powerful clan would be absolutely secure.
Therefore, when Lin Zhao proved to everyone with her strength that she had indeed advanced to the Great Perfection level within a month without any falsehood, the elders' judgment had completely shifted towards Lin Mang's lineage.
Even if the Lin family didn't want him, the Seventh Elder, they would still protect Lin Zhao to the death, as he was a young master with the potential to become a god in the future!
At this moment, he truly regretted his past actions against Lin Zhao.
"Truly worthy of being called the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny." The Third Elder watched the girl walk away and murmured with admiration, "It's unbelievable that she's still so outstanding even after her Phoenix Fate was taken away. If her Phoenix Fate were intact, then my Lin family..."
Although his voice was low, the other elders, with their varying levels of cultivation, could hear it clearly.
Upon hearing this, they exchanged a glance, their eyes both filled with sadness.
If the Phoenix Luck is complete, this young master might be able to lead the Lin family back to its peak, and even compete with the number one family, the Ji family!
"There's no point in saying more about this. Zhaozhao has her own plans, and we'll just support her," Lin Mang said, taking a sip of tea.
The elders then snapped out of their thoughts and looked at Lin Mang with more respect.
If these elders still felt such emotions upon seeing Lin Zhao, how much pain must Lin Mang, her biological father, feel now and back then when he saw such an outstanding daughter?
This was all the result of Lin Mang's consideration for his family.
"You've worked hard all these years, Patriarch," the First Elder said in a low voice.
The other elders nodded in agreement.
Only the Seventh Elder sighed.
He understood that after this incident, Lin Mang's position as the head of the family was completely unshakeable.
But as expected, he was no longer as resentful and dissatisfied as before.
Given Lin Zhao's achievements and Lin Mang's previous contributions, it would be beneath Lin Clan elders to fuss over such matters.
However, he didn't care, while Lin Yuanke almost ground his back teeth to powder.
Looking at the radiant young woman on stage, a flash of malice crossed Lin Yuan's eyes.
"Hmph, you're so smug. I'll see if you can still laugh after you run into Lin Ya!"
