Chapter 27: Contending for First Place! Fourth Update

  The whole audience was silent as if dead.

  Everyone was watching the two on stage, this battle's splendor and cruelty were all before their eyes, never expecting that in the end, it would actually end in such a way.

  The judge looked at the two of them, unsure how to decide.

  Is it watching who dies first and then declaring the person who survives last as the winner?

  This is an extraordinary genius, and losing one would be a huge loss for humanity.

  Just as he was hesitating, a pale green glow gradually appeared on Tang Lin's body, like a mist that enveloped his entire being.

  "What is the Way of Life and Death?" Everyone was taken aback.

  Tang Lin's body was rapidly repaired under the nourishing effect of the Life and Death Path, which could wither all things, but also revive them.

  "My way of life can simulate all sorts of great ways, but you only have the way of extinction..." Tang Lin's mouth corner revealed a thread of tired smile, "This round, I still win!"

  Under the care of Sheng Dao, his body quickly recovered.

  Although the residual sword energy of Jianmo was still flowing within his body, under the revival of Sheng Dao, it gradually erased this residual sword energy.

  Tang Lin's finger pointed, and a layer of mist filled with vitality wrapped around Ming's body. Her wounds quickly healed and recovered.

  After a moment, Ming's strength recovered slightly and she could speak. She looked at Tang Lin incredulously, then her face darkened and she said, "You deliberately let me self-mutilate in the end?"

  Tang Lin smiled slightly and said, "I'm just trying it out."

  The fist was clenched tightly, and the slender white fingers made a cracking sound.

  She never thought that everything about her would fall into Tang Lin's calculations.

  "I've heard Master say before, you killed your own parents and relatives, such a person must be ruthless and cruel!"

  "A person with a ruthless heart and cruel hands is usually even more ruthless to themselves." Tang Lin smiled, "So I tried my best."

  Fall silent forever.

  She originally used this move in an attempt to use the Extinction Sword to directly cause Tang Lin to be reborn. In her mind, she was the Saint of Extinction, and the sword energy of the Extinction Sword would not cause much harm to herself. But for Tang Lin, it could cause massive damage.

  In this way, as long as Tang Lin can't hold on, she will win!

  Result...

  She ignored Tang Lin's way of all living things and was able to reproduce the way of life and death.

  Actually, such a small mistake shouldn't have been made, but at that moment, her mind really couldn't think of anything else.

  A person who is immersed in his own plans and fantasies will always overlook many things.

  Tang Lin won this battle!

  Unparalleled in the world, ranked first!

  Tang Lin looked at Ming and said: "You can challenge me again. Next time, it should be you who wins, or we'll end up in a draw."

  Looking at him coldly, she said: "Do you think someone who doesn't care about family ties will care about something as trivial as ranking?"

  Tang Lin was taken aback.

  "I don't want a draw, wait until I can thoroughly defeat you, and then I'll challenge you again!"

  After finishing speaking, she walked over and picked up the cloak that had been cut in half, putting it on her head. Then along the stone steps of the battlefield, she walked away step by step.

  The crowded people parted like a wave, quickly opening up a small path.

  Everyone watched her back as she left, and it was a long time before they turned their heads to look at Tang Lin on the battlefield, their eyes filled with piercing light.

  Although Tang Lin's final move used a lot of tactics, the power that burst out from his body was already on par with Ming.

  Genius ranking first!

  This name, like a starry sky, shines with great glory!

  ……

  Red Dust Inn

  A burst of hearty laughter like thunder echoed from the top floor, and Tie Shi was so excited that his face was radiant with excitement.

  "Lion, you've really picked up a treasure this time." The young man in white approached the iron lion and said, "How about letting this little guy acknowledge me as half a master?"

  The iron lion glared at him and said, "No way!"

  "Don't be so heartless, how about I treat you to this meal?" The young man in white clothes looked at him with a hint of resentment.

  "Get out." Iron Lion kicked him away, proudly saying: "This time I've taken in such a precious disciple, when we get back those people from the sect will tremble with fear, haha..."

  The young man in white shrugged and said, "You're just showing off."

  "I'm willing, I'm delighted." Iron Lion said with a pleased expression.

  ……

  Cang Xue Dynasty, Jinluan Hall.

  The entire hall erupted in waves of thunderous cheers, the whole court was wildly celebrating, this day was the day when the Snowy King Dynasty made a name for itself on the mainland!

  "First! It's actually first!!"

  "Uggghhh..."

  "It's too awesome, really too awesome!"

  Everyone was excited and flushed with excitement.

  The Ice Emperor's expression was complex, gazing at the projected image. After a long time, he remained silent and didn't speak. Outside the grand hall, Seventh Princess stood quietly, looking at the shadowy figure on the projection, her mouth curving into an arc, "I knew it, this child is not ordinary."

  "The favor you granted to the princess, if there's a chance in the future, can be asked back from him." The seventh princess's eyes shone with wisdom.

  This woman who became the female emperor a hundred years later had strategies and wisdom in her heart that were not given to the Ice Emperor, and were even many times stronger!

  The whole nation celebrates on this day.

  This day, amnesty for all under heaven!

  Whether it was in the streets and alleys, prisons and brothels or noble mansions, they were all filled with cheers, everyone went wild for this supreme glory.

  ……

  The Manchu tribal clan.

  A colossal altar loomed overhead, its shadow shrouding the entire Barbarian God tribe.

  All the barbarian tribes saw Tang Lin's projection, especially when they saw him casting Qilin Bloodline, they were all excited.

  "Lin Er, Lin Er!" Long Xiang'er stood in the crowd, excitedly gazing up at her son's projection, looking at that son standing under the gaze of thousands, her heart filled with joy and also filled with pain.

  She knew that Tang Lin had gone through untold hardships to get to where he was today.

  Less than a month, from over 300 people. All the way up, breaking through to today's first place! How many people can empathize with the heartache behind this?

  As a mother, she could feel it too.

  Now, seeing Tang Lin standing under the supreme honor, she has a joyful tear in her eyes, in this corner that Tang Lin can't see. She applauds for him, cheers him on.

  "Blood Qilin, Blood Qilin!" An old ape with white hair stood on the altar, his face excited and tears streaming down his face: "The prophecy has come true. The Blood Qilin who can lead the Barbarian God tribe to glory has finally appeared, has finally appeared!!"

  "Look quickly, he is Long Xiang'er's son!"

  "What?"

  All the clansmen looked at Long Xiang'er in the crowd with eyes full of reverence.

  Long Xiang'er stood beside the head of the Long family, gazing at Tang Lin's projection with a mix of relief and sadness on his face. He clearly realized that his initial decision was wrong.

  Who knows, this young man standing under everyone's gaze of admiration, since childhood has never seen his mother and has not experienced a bit of maternal love.

  Thinking of this, he felt heartache. At the same time, thinking of the situation in his clan, this kind of being stuck in the middle with no way out made his heart almost split into pieces.

  "I have a good grandson..." The clan leader said in a low voice.

  Long Xiang'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said: "Yes, he is your good grandson!"

  ……

  Jiuxiang Building, in the courtyard.

  Tang Lin sat by the pool of water, gazing at the rippling surface. He took out the essence of his second sister's origin and a golden elixir pill rolled around in his palm.

  "Second sister..." Tang Lin gazed at the Golden Elixir, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Wait for me! In just five more days, after the Nine Swords' Competition ends, I'll be able to head to the Lesser Immortal Realm!"

  He is now the first!

  Even if someone breaks through in these five days and defeats him, he can still stabilize in the top ten! Going to Xiaoxian Realm is already a done deal.

  "Mother, Father, Elder Brother..." Tang Lin looked up at the sky, "I don't know if you're all doing well, after I help Second Sister recreate her physical body, I'll go find you."

  Thinking of his father and big brother, Tang Lin's heart moved, and he immediately took out the transmission token, preparing to call Master Tie Shi. Just then, Master Tie Shi suddenly appeared in front of Tang Lin, with a joyful red glow on his face, laughing: "Good disciple, I didn't expect that you would actually get first place!"

  Tang Lin respectfully said: "Master."

  "No need to be polite." Iron Lion smiled and waved his hand, looking at Tang Lin with full praise, saying: "At first, I thought it was already impressive that you could enter the top thirty, but unexpectedly, you actually comprehended the Tao and directly rushed to first place!"

  "These last five days, as long as no one challenges you, you will be the first for sure!" Tie Shi said with full of praise.

  Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  "That guy Ming, if he were to challenge you, might just take your title." Tie Shi said thoughtfully: "You should be careful about this."

  Tang Lin shook his head and said, "She promised that unless she makes another breakthrough, she won't challenge me."

  Iron Lion felt relieved, "Now I can rest assured, go for it, you must hold on to your ranking in the last five days."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly and said, "Master, I have something that I'd like to trouble you with."

  "What's going on?"

  "My father and elder brother have lost contact and gone missing, I don't know if you can help me deduce their whereabouts. I want to know if they are safe now."

  Tie Shi suddenly realized: "This is easy, how about your father and big brother?"

  "They're all non-martial artists."

  "Not really." Tie Shi said in surprise: "None of you are martial artists? Then how..."

  Tang Lin scratched his head, unsure of how to respond.

  Iron Lion gazed at him strangely, then said: "I'll help you calculate first. If they're not warriors, the calculation is easy. But if they've reached the realm of saints, this calculation will require me to expend a considerable amount of my lifespan."

  As he spoke, he gazed at Tang Lin's head, then his fingers quickly pinched and grasped, as if fortune-telling.

  Tang Lin looked at him nervously and anxiously.

  After a moment, Tie Shi opened his eyes and frowned, saying: "Strange, I relied on your aura to deduce your relatives, but only deduced one, which is your mother. She's in the Man God tribe. As for your father and older brother, there was no sensation at all. You also have an older sister, but she's dead. However, her spirit is right beside you."
