Very soon, there were only 10 youths left in the arena. What was shocking was that most of the disciples from the three major families were also eliminated by Lin Xiu.
Among the 10 youths in the arena, other than the five juniors from the Lin family, the remaining five were all in the bone tempering realm.
What caught everyone's attention was that among the 10 youths, only Lin Xiu and Lin You were in the blood refining realm, the other eight were all in the bone tempering realm.
Many of the juniors who were personally knocked out of the arena by Lin Xiu looked at the youths in the arena with gloomy eyes. They lost the qualification to enter the second round, which meant that they had no fate with the Gui Yuan Sect.
How could such a group of youths with dreams not harbor hatred in their hearts?
Even the patriarchs of the other major families began to look at Lin Xiu unkindly. If it wasn't for Deacon Liu being present, they would have started to attack him.
Even so, the five families like the Lin family, other than one of their juniors who were lucky enough to enter the second round, the other families that did not make it to the second round apologized to Deacon Liu, who was sitting at the head of the table, with an ugly expression and led their people away.
They still wanted to stay here, were they afraid that they had not embarrassed themselves enough?
When it came to the second round of the tournament, the five juniors of the Lin Family were finally separated. The second round of the tournament tested their strength in one-on-one combat. Lin Xiu was helpless and could only hope that they would be able to perform well!
Lin Wentian, who was sitting on the high platform, did not care about the expressions of the other family leaders. Lin Xiu's sudden burst of strength really made him proud.
The patriarchs of the three major families who were still on the high platform were much more shrewd than the other four families. Seeing that Lin Xiu had performed well, they began to try their best to get close to Lin Wentian.
The status of the three major families in Huai Ning City was almost unshakable. Other than their own strength being tyrannical, compared to the other smaller families, they naturally had means that ordinary people could not reach.
Seeing that the first round of the competition had come to an end, the Huai Ning City lord strode to the center of the arena and gestured for the 10 juniors to come up to draw lots.
There were ten numbers on the jade tokens, from one to ten. According to the rules of the competition, the person with the number one jade token would fight against the person with the number ten jade token, and so on until the top five winners were decided.
After the first round of competition, the Lin Family's luck seemed to have come to an end. Among the five, Lin Xiu was up against the weakest, Lin You, while Lin Feng and Lin Yang, the quarrelsome pair of quarrelsome family members, unexpectedly met each other.
The audience under the stand began to whisper. Many people even thought that the governor of Huining City deliberately set up a stumbling block to prevent the Lin Family from becoming stronger.
However, the big shots on the spectator stand didn't think so. In front of Deacon Liu's powerful strength, the governor of Huining City, no matter how stupid he was, wouldn't do such a thing. It could only be said that Lin Family was really unlucky this time.
The five juniors who were looking at each other from afar could only smile helplessly.
However, they didn't have any complaints. To them, no matter who their opponent was, they just had to give it their all.
Soon, the orderly competition began in full swing.
The ten young geniuses were each allocated to five slightly smaller arenas, and the curtains to the second round of the competition were thus drawn.
The moment Lin You saw Lin Xiu on the stage, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that he was no match for Lin Xiu, but if he were to give up just like that, he would still feel a little unwilling.
In the end, he looked at Lin Xiu sincerely and said jokingly, "Old Demon Lin, please show mercy later. My small body can't withstand your devastation."
After he said that, the humorous words made the audience under the stand burst into laughter. The originally heavy atmosphere also became a lot more relaxed.
Lin Xiu nodded slightly and stood in place with his hands behind his back. His white clothes fluttered even though there was no wind, and he was indescribably elegant and comfortable.
Seeing that Lin Xiu obviously wouldn't take the initiative to attack, Lin You's handsome face was also touched. He knew that Lin Xiu was giving him the opportunity to take the initiative to attack in order to save his face.
Otherwise, if it was just based on strength, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to take one move from Lin Xiu.
Lin You secretly gathered all the elemental energy in his body to the peak and suddenly shouted, "Raging Waves Palm!"
Then, he suddenly rushed towards Lin Xiu who was not far away. Although he was only at the peak of the Blood Refinement Realm, his courage still made many people gasp in admiration.
Not everyone could choose not to give up when they knew that they were no match for the other party. This was the trust in oneself and the persistence in one's martial arts. If one gave up easily, his future achievements would probably be rather limited.
Seeing that Lin You was getting closer and closer, although Lin Xiu could dodge the other party's killing move, out of respect for the other party, he still chose to face it head-on!
He shouted in his heart, Army Breaker Fist!
Lin Xiu took a small step forward and felt the strength coming towards him. He just naturally stretched out his right fist and then collided with Lin You's palm.
Dust and smoke rose and filled the air.
Lin You was sent flying by the powerful impact. He stabilized himself with great difficulty but still staggered a little.
He could feel that Lin Xiu had already held back a lot of strength in that punch.
Otherwise, even those youths who had just entered the early stage of the Bone Tempering Realm couldn't take Lin Xiu's move head-on. How could he, a warrior at the peak of the Blood Refinement Realm, only feel a little weak?
Lin You did not continue to put on a brave front. After suppressing the surging blood in his body, he cupped his fists towards Lin Xiu and said, "Thank you."
With that, he directly left the arena without looking back and waited for the challenge to begin. It was important to know one's own limitations. Among the younger generation of warriors in the Lin Family, Lin You was already considered rather good. But if compared to Lin Xiu, there was still an indescribable gap between the two.
Lin Xiu's valiant performance also caused the audience to cheer again.
He was only 12 years old and was already so powerful.
Some of the children below the arena clenched their fists secretly. Deep in their hearts, they had already made Lin Xiu the target that they worked hard to catch up to.
Lin Wentian, who was on the high platform, was not surprised that Lin Xiu was able to defeat Lin You. After all, he was very clear about their strengths.
But Lin You's performance still made his eyes light up. From the current situation, Lin Yang, Lin Feng, and Lin Shan, who had reached the Bone Tempering Realm, had gradually gained the upper hand in the battle. Coupled with Lin Xiu's strength, which was faintly suppressing everyone else, the Lin Family could be said to be the biggest winner in this Huaining City selection.
Lin You's state of mind was very suitable to be the head of a family. He did things in a calm and steady manner and could clearly see the gap between himself and the other party. Such a steady character was the root of a family's prosperity and invincibility.
Apart from Lin Xiu, among the 10 youths, only Lin You was at the Blood Refinement Realm. Looking at the current situation, he probably had no hope in the upcoming challenge.
But it was a blessing in disguise. Now that Lin Zhong's strength had recovered a little, with his guidance and the full support of the Lin Family, it was foreseeable that Lin You's achievements in the future would not be too bad.
As time went by, the list of the top five was finally released.
It was not much different from Lin Wentian's expectations. After experiencing the baptism of blood in the Black Wind Mountain Range, under the circumstances that their yuan energy cultivation was more or less the same, the younger generation of the Lin Family was obviously stronger than the disciples of other families in terms of battle instinct and attack skills.
The top five in the second round of the competition were Lin Xiu, Lin Feng, Lin Yang, Lin Shan, and a junior from the Li Family, Li Ming.
Lin Wentian, who was on the spectator stand, was all smiles at this moment. He was so excited that a trace of tears flowed from the corner of his eyes.
