Chapter 281: Chapter 111 Concession
When Lin Su approached the edge of the field where ten stone pillars stood, each pillar already had its owner.
On the Yun Family’s side, the battle for the stone pillars had already begun.
The challenged disciples of the Yun Family would temporarily step down from their pillars to fight the challenger, and once the battle ended, the victor would climb back onto the pillar while the defeated became the challenger, left with no choice but to challenge others for ownership of a pillar.
To maintain order during the petition, other disciples were not allowed to seize the temporarily vacant pillars or initiate any new challenges during an ongoing one.
This meant that only one challenge could take place at a time.
The reason for the tranquility on the Lin Family’s side was twofold: fewer Lin Family disciples participated, merely eight in total, and Lin Su was leisurely making his way towards them, which unsettled them.
Aside from Lin Su, the two other Lin Family disciples standing under the pillars were a man and a woman, the male disciple named Lin Heng and the female disciple named Lin Yu.
The female disciple named Lin Yu had chatted with Lin Su a few times before and was somewhat familiar with him. She waved at him with a cheerful smile as he approached, while Lin Heng, standing apart on the other side, was a new face to Lin Su, who had only learned his name through an introduction by Lin Ye.
Lin Heng had not been at the Lin Family recently but was out gaining experience and had only returned to participate in the petition between the two families.
“Do either of you want to challenge?” standing aside, Lin Heng spoke calmly, “If you don’t challenge first, then I will.”
“I’m just here to make up the numbers,” Lin Yu spread her hands, indicating she had no intention of challenging, and then stood aside.
She was still in the minor achievement phase of the Meridian Opening Realm and considered the weakest among the Lin Family participants; she genuinely was there just to dip her toes in the water, see the world, and focus on participating.
“I’ll also watch first; you go ahead,” Lin Su responded concisely and stepped back a few paces.
Although he planned to challenge, he still had not decided on a target, so it seemed better to let Lin Heng make the first move and use the opportunity to gauge Lin Heng’s strength.
“Alright.” Lin Heng nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to the figures standing on five stone pillars, and he called out resolutely, “Lin Hong, e down for a battle!”
“Damn!” Lin Hong cursed angrily, “You think I’m an easy target, huh!”
He leapt down from the pillar decisively and engaged in bat with Lin Heng without hesitation.
Lin Hong’s weapon was a long spear, most monly used in the Lin Family, while Lin Heng wielded something different.
It was a large halberd.
With the clashing sounds of metal, the two figures tangled repeatedly, pulling apart only to adjust their positions and catch their breath before clashing again, their weapons creating sparks with every strike.
Watching the intense martial arts battle made Lin Su involuntarily swallow hard.
Versatile.
Unlike his mediocre spear techniques, these two Lin Family disciples had been trained in martial arts from a young age, achieving a highly advanced level in both spear and halberd techniques. bined with the enhanced physical condition provided by the Meridian Opening Realm, it made Lin Su, who observed intently from the side, feel overwhelmed.
“Go direct! Stop dawdling like a woman!”
After a few probing rounds, Lin Hong roared and swung his spear, creating a trail of fire in the air. The blade of the spear produced bundles of red flames at an incredibly fast speed. At the same time, waves of heat radiated out from him, reaching even where Lin Su stood.
As the heat wave approached, Qiuqiu on Lin Su’s head grimaced.
It hated the fire attribute.
With a thought, pieces of crystal-clear snow quickly formed around Lin Su, effortlessly warding off the heat wave.
Facing Lin Hong’s full-powered assault, Lin Heng also took no chances, grabbing the handle of the big halberd with one hand and sending a tremor of elemental force through his body, which then enveloped the halberd with a dark, hazy power.
Dark attribute?
Gazing from behind Lin Su, Qiuqiu tilted its head, eyeing the familiar energy fluctuation on the big halberd with an interested expression.
As the attributes were displayed, the scale of the battle between the two Lin Family disciples instantly escalated.
Lin Hong’s spear moved like lightning, each thrust acpanied by countless sparks, and every strike resembled a fierce wind carrying blazing fires, stirring up surging air currents and lighting up half of the battlefield with bright red lights, even drawing the attention of some Yun Family disciples who had not yet started fighting.
Although Lin Heng’s big halberd lacked Lin Hong’s spectacle, it was more elusive. With each casual slash of the big halberd, dark whips emerged, not only dissolving Lin Hong’s spear thrusts repeatedly but also the dark power clinging tenaciously to Lin Hong’s spear, creeping up towards his arm along the blade.
Each clash between them stirred up a storm of elemental forces, sweeping through the surroundings.
They started to use elemental forces!
Ignoring the reactions of the two pets, Lin Su watched as the battle in the arena quickly escalated into an intense phase, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As Meridian Opening Realm martial artists, with their meridians cleared, they had the capacity to hold and manipulate elemental forces. However, because this force had not yet formed a cycle, its total amount was limited and also quite difficult to replenish.
Usually, their use of elemental forces indicated they were going all out.
Clearly, the martial arts cultivation technique Lin Hong mastered was of the fire attribute, which meant his elemental forces transformed into a fire attribute after cultivation.
