While everyone stared at him in shock, Lin Han walked down from the platform with a flat expression.
The Outer Residence Competition was a walk in the park for Lin Han. What he was really looking forward to was the following Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.
That was where the elites of the Residence focused on.
The fight then continued.
However, looking at Lin Han standing quietly in the crowd, a glint of fear appeared in the eyes of the disciples from the Outer Residence.
It seemed that Lin Han was slated for success in this competition.
“Number 33, against number 90!”
It was Lin Han’s turn to fight again.
This time, Lin Han’s opponent was a young man with a cool and strict expression on his face.
“Lin Han, I know that you’re strong, but the martial art I practiced is…”
Clang!
The sound of swords rang, loud as thunder, as if the air itself was going to be torn apart.
“Ah!”
A terrifying scream then followed.
A figure was thrown away and fell outside the platform.
The young man with a straight face did not get to finish his jabbering. His defense was broken through by Lin Han in one blow and he was swept out from the platform by his blade. It was an instant victory.
“Shing!”
Lin Han sheathed his sword and walked down from the platform. He was emotionless.
He defeated his opponent in one blow, again!
At the moment, all of the disciples in the Outer Residence were all seething.
Even the disciples from the Inner Residence felt threatened by his display.
This young swordsman in green from the Outer Residence had given them too much pressure.
The competition continued.
As expected, Lin Han defeated all of his opponents, regardless of gender, in one blow and swept them all out from the platform.
His opponents were not even able to discern the swings of his sword.
“Lin Han, the tale of your string of victories ends here!” someone sneered suddenly.
It was Lin Ran!
Finally, Lin Han met someone that had real strength – Lin Ran was ranked fifth in the Outer Residence.
Right then, a lot of disciples outside the platform looked nervous.
Can Lin Han, the biggest dark horse in this Outer Residence Competition, continue his undefeated streak?
“One blow.”
Lin Han spoke.
He sounded normal but high-handed.
“I’m not like those good-for-nothings. Lin Han, it’s time for your defeat!”
Boom!
A powerful breath came out from Lin Ran’s body and spread across the entire arena.
The fifth tier of martial arts!
For the first time, a powerful opponent at the martial arts fifth tier appeared.
“Heheh.”
Lin Ran looked cool and fierce. He guffawed, “Lin Han, you can never overcome the difference in strength between tiers!”
Boom!
“Majestic Devil Ape!”
“Through-arm Deity Fist!”
Lin Ran roared out of a sudden.
The very next moment, his arms started to bulge at a visible rate. His muscles contracted and expanded at an egregious rate, even his skin turned black-purple, diffusing an aura similar to that of the evil spirit from an ancient beast.
“It’s the power of bloodline!”
Someone from the crowd exclaimed, “It is said that Lin Ran has a small trace of the bloodline from an ancient devil ape. The Majestic Devil Ape skill that he practiced can stimulate the bloodline and induce explosive strength!”
“Lin Han, you’re doomed to be my stepping stone. Let me be the one that ends your victories!”
The eyes of Lin Ran seemed to be covered by a layer of blood.
His strength was at its limits. His arms were black and purple, as if a huge devil ape was roaring and rearing to shred everything in its path.
“Quick Draw Sword!”
Unexpectedly, Lin Han shouted.
Shink!
The next moment, a shocking ray of sword-light drew across the air and punctured both of Lin Ran’s arms.
“Ah!” Lin Ran let out a blood-curdling scream. He looked at his shredded arms and screamed, “This is impossible! Lin Han, it’s impossible that you can puncture my devil arms with just the Quick Draw Sword technique!”
“Who told you that Quick Draw Sword is the only technique I know?”
Lin Han tightened his lips and said, “Go down yourself or I’ll send you down.”
“You…”
Lin Ran’s face turned sour immediately.
He was the one that bragged about breaking Lin Han’s win streak. However, right now, he seemed to be making a fool of himself.
Just then, Lin Ran saw that Lin Han had in fact punctured his devil arms thirteen times after performing his Quick Draw Sword.
Every blow was sharp and the sword Qi he emanated was bold. It also seemed to have a cold erosion effect.
“Thirteen Gleaming Swords!”
Suddenly, the name of a powerful martial art came across Lin Ran’s mind.
“It’s impossible… Impossible… How could he learn so many martial arts in such a short time…?”
Lin Ran was shocked. He mumbled to himself and left the platform slowly.
He knew that he was no match for Lin Han’s at all.
“One blow, again!”
Right then, countless disciples from the Outer Residence erupted in conversation in the arena.
Lin Han was still powerful and high-handed even against the fifth-ranked Lin Ran. .
One blow, and he defeated his opponent!
Even the elder from the Inner Residence that was hosting the competition was shocked by Lin Han’s performance.
It was already incredible enough for Lin Han to achieve the Pinnacle state for Quick Draw Sword. However, when he was fighting against Lin Ran, the elder saw that Lin Han managed to strike thirteen blows in a blink of an eye, with the cold erosion effect. Lin Ran’s bloodline power was then immediately disrupted.
The others might not notice that, but the elder saw it. It was a sign indicating that the Thirteen Gleaming Swords was also reaching the Pinnacle state!
This disciple from the Outer Residence was full of potential!
In the following matches, Lin Han did not ‘disappoint’ the crowd. No matter who he met, he defeated his opponents in one blow.
Clang!
Sword out, the enemy defeated. One blow but it was loud as thunder.
The legend of Lin Han’s undefeated streak was maintained.
Some people were even shouting crazily.
“Six winning streak!”
“Seven winning streak!”
“…”
“Thirty winning streak!”
Finally, every disciple from the Outer Residence shouted this number. The entire arena went silent for a moment.
Even those disciples ranked as top three in the Outer Residence started to feel the pressure.
Lin Han was definitely the biggest dark horse in the Outer Residence over the years.
Thirty winning streak!
This spectacle was unprecedented in the history of the Outer Residence Competition within the Lin Clan Sect Residence!
Lin Han, this normal disciple that came from the subdivision, shone and surprised everyone.
Right then, the most flabbergasted one was Lin Meier.
She saw with her own eyes when Lin Han defeated his opponents one after another with just one blow…
Her whole face was numb.
Even Lin Lang, who had been talking about chopping Lin Han into pieces, looked frightened. He hid in the crowd and did not have the courage to show his face even though he had already passed his limit and achieved the fifth tier of martial arts.
On the other hand, Lin Shi had already conceited to his fear long ago. He almost wanted to bury himself in a pit in the hope of not seeing Lin Han.
The Outer Residence Competition did not allow the servants to watch the battles. Otherwise, if Xiao Nu the maid were here, she might be fainting from excitement when she saw her young master being so powerful.
In the following matches, as long as Lin Han obtained one more victory, he could quit the first round of the competition and get promoted directly to the second round, where he would compete with the top three disciples for the championship.
Therefore, the last opponent of Lin Han was…
“I have been waiting for you for a very long time!”
Lin Han shouted coldly. His eyes were sharp like an eagle, staring at the young man bearing a changdao (TN: The term “changdao” literally means “long knife” and it was a traditional two-handed, single-edged sword used in ancient China.) not far away.
Lin Juedao!
One of the strongest people in the Outer Residence, ranked fourth. His knife technique was unpredictable.
No one had ever seen him fight.
“Lin Han, I admit that you’re very strong.”
Lin Juedao spoke. His eyes reflected his hidden murderous intent and he said, “However, you’re still too young and naive. You’d never understand that you can never mess with certain people!”
“Boom”
After his speech, a horrifying ray of sword intent blasted out from Lin Juedao and shot towards the sky. The land around him cracked instantly.
“Such strong momentum, what kind of sword intent is this?!”
Right then, disciples from the Outer Residence exclaimed in shock.
“This is impossible!”
Lin Tian, the first disciple of the Outer Residence, finally spoke.
He looked at Lin Juedao with fear in his eyes and said while trembling, “You… You really practiced The Killing Knife Art?!”
Killing Knife Art!
Every disciple in their midst shivered.
What is this ‘Killing Knife Art’? Why would the top disciple of the Outer Residence, Lin Tian, become so frightened suddenly?
Did Lin Juedao intentionally hide his strength all this while? When he finally revealed his real strength, even Lin Tian, the top disciple of the Outer Residence would feel terrified!
Right then, a lot of people that were confident in Lin Han started to hesitate.
Maybe Lin Han was still going to be defeated by the mysterious and powerful Lin Juedao.
