Chapter 19: My surname is Tang!
At this time, the gray-clothed youth seemed to have a feeling, and he turned his head to look at Tang Lin, with a cruel smile on his cold face.
Tang Lin felt the true energy within his body, vast like a great sea, and knew that this person had the power of a martial god. A martial god at such a young age was a rare talent on the entire continent!
In the past, Xiao Hui had said that the Cang Xue dynasty was just a small border country, and that the young master of the demon-suppressing tribe who became a martial god at the age of eighteen was already quite extraordinary.
Who would have thought that the Long family also had such a talented person!
As for this point, Tang Lin was somewhat perplexed in his heart.
He didn't know that Xiao Hui had only told him half of it, and the other half was left unsaid. It's worth noting that on the mainland, the three strongest tribes are the Town Demon Tribe, the Divine Language Tribe, and the Barbarian Tribe!
However, the populations of these three ethnic groups are extremely scarce and live on the edge of wilderness, with little contact with outsiders, resulting in limited resources and a prosperity level that is not even comparable to that of an administrative province of the Cang Xue Dynasty.
Although the Cangxue dynasty is a small country on the border, each of the nine provincial capitals has tens of millions of people, with vast territory and abundant resources. With the special background of the Long family and the resources within the clan, they are not inferior to the Zhenyao tribe. Therefore, the talents that can be cultivated naturally will not be inferior either.
However--
Although they are all martial gods, their strengths and weaknesses are completely different. This is like the 33 martial gods in the Star Pavilion, but the top ten people on the Star Platform can easily defeat all the martial gods behind them.
The young master of the Zhenyao tribe, although a martial god, has a body of talismans and knowledge of formations that can completely sweep away all humans in the Martial God Realm!
Tang Lin looked at the young man in gray clothes in front of him with great interest. He didn't expect that the Long family could cultivate such an outstanding talent.
At this time, the youth in gray had already flashed to the front of the remaining people. These people were not foolish and knew his intentions from the youth's actions. One by one, they were furious in their hearts but couldn't do anything about it. The youth's strength was far beyond that of the others.
When one's strength reaches a certain level, they will no longer fear gang fights.
Besides, no one wants to lead a group fight, what if they get kicked and break their bones. That would be the end of them.
Soon, only Tang Lin and the youth in gray were left on stage. The youth in gray held a stack of wooden plaques that made one's eyes greedy, and he tilted his head towards Tang Lin, saying: "Are you going to give it to me yourself, or should I take it?"
Tang Lin smiled slightly and said, "If you don't want all the wooden plaques in your hand to be gone, then don't provoke me."
The youth in grey narrowed his eyes slightly, a streak of cold light flashed across his pupils, and he sized up Tang Lin from head to toe before saying: "I seem to have never seen you before."
"There are many people you haven't seen."
"I understand."
The youth in grey glanced at the three wooden plaques in Tang Lin's hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's just wait for the final match." With that, he surprisingly gave up snatching Tang Lin's wooden plaque and walked directly to the side of the Dragon Town platform, quietly waiting for the verdict.
Seeing this situation, the people below were shocked and immediately looked at Tang Lin deeply.
The most surprised was the Grand Steward. He stared at Tang Lin in disbelief, his mouth agape as if he could swallow ten duck eggs. There were two things that shocked him: first, Tang Lin did not live up to his expectations and was not thrown out of the Dragon Suppressing Platform with a single glance; instead, he easily defeated several young masters of the Dragon Family.
The second reason is that he saw Tang Lin's "Endless Starry Sky" and thought of someone!
A transcendent genius born into this world!
He was in charge of all the intelligence information of the Long family. Although, with the status of the Long family, they had not yet taken the Seven Star Martial Arts Hall seriously, but the members of the Star Pavilion of the Seven Star Martial Arts Hall were slightly more cautious. According to the intelligence he had obtained, there was a person in the Star Pavilion named Tang Lin!
This name rose like a comet among the various forces of the Cangxue Dynasty!
Every brilliant achievement shines like starlight——
Martial artist enters a state of unity, charges into the third level of Iron Tower Pass!
Fourteen-year-old promoted to Star Pavilion!
Become a martial god at 16!
Under seventeen, join the Holy Temple's preparatory camp!
According to the latest news, it is said that this person has become a semi-saint and graduated from the Holy Temple Preparatory Camp!
This child is absolutely worthy of being called the most outstanding genius in the Thousand Years of the Cang Snow Dynasty, even surpassing the brilliance of the Ninth Princess who was born with a sacred body!
He even knew that Emperor Bing had secretly prepared to summon this person as his son-in-law - marriage was one of the most skilled means of royalty.
However, he could never have dreamed that this person was the son of Tang Tian from the remote Longxiang City. In his consciousness, he only remembered that Tang Tian had three children, but as for their names, he didn't bother to remember.
He didn't bother to remember.
Including Tang Tian, he has always been disdainful of them.
A nearly forty-year-old middle-aged man had yet to open a single aperture, and with such qualifications, he had always been disdainful. As for Tang Tian's three children, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to them.
What's more, there are many people in the world with the same name and surname. These two completely different people, he never thought of linking them together until Tang Lin performed "Endless Starry Sky", he was struck by lightning, a kind of soul-shaking feeling that came from deep within his heart.
Two figures overlapped in his consciousness.
One is a weak and feeble scholar with no power to truss a chicken, the other is an extraordinary talent, a peerless genius who surpasses all others!
He was completely stunned.
The clan leader sitting in the VIP seat saw Tang Lin display "Infinite Starry Sky", his eyes flashed, he had been paying attention to the gaze of the gray-clothed youth, and immediately fell on Tang Lin's body, with a gleam of light in his eyes, it was unknown what he was thinking.
An hour later, the screening match ended.
Only five people were left.
Long Ziyin, Long Chen, Long Sanjie, along with Tang Lin and the gray-clothed youth, all stood on the Dragon Suppressing Platform. The platform was like an altar, with many high-ranking officials seated below, watching in awe. Everyone was filled with a sense of shock, for no one had expected that this selection tournament would end in such a way.
"Now, let's use a random draw to decide the last three!" The white-haired old man scanned with his eyes and stared at the grey-clothed youth for a moment.
The youth in grey clothes remained expressionless and calm, with a hint of interest as he watched Tang Lin and the others.
Soon, the steward handed over a bamboo tube from the side, and several people lined up to draw lots inside. When it was Tang Lin's turn, he found that the steward's gaze at himself had a few complicated emotions, as if it was a sigh, and as if it was regret.
Tang Lin didn't think much about it and after drawing the lots, he returned to his own position.
"One versus two. Three versus four. The loser can challenge five." The white-haired old man said to the crowd, "Begin."
Tang Lin looked at the contract in his hand.
Number five!
Tang Lin rubbed his nose and walked aside with a bamboo skewer in hand, waiting.
At this time, Long Zixing and Long Sanjie walked onto the Dragon Subduing Platform. The two seemed to know each other. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they began their martial arts contest.
As it was a decisive battle, they were able to select their weapons from the nearby weapon racks. In order to inflict serious injuries, the weapons were made of ordinary refined iron.
Long Ziyin held a slender sword in her hand, her purple clothes fluttering like misty air, light and agile, her tall figure standing on the stage, as if she were a purple fairy.
Long Sanjie, standing opposite him, had a bitter face. Holding a black ruler in his hand, he bowed to Long Zixing and said: "Sister Zixing, it's really bad luck to meet you, don't be too harsh with your hands."
Long Zichen smiled slightly and said, "I know."
Long San sighed with a bitter smile. He seemed dissatisfied with the lot he had drawn, but there was no rule for exchanging it, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
"Dragon, fight in the wild!" Long Sanjie let out a low growl, his black ruler flashing like falling stars, transforming into countless afterimages mixed with his mysterious footsteps. Chao Longzi Cong rushed away violently.
Tang Lin quietly watched, although he knew that Long Sanjie was bound to lose, but watching the Dragon Family's martial arts secret book would still be enlightening.
"This Long Sanjie has the strength of a Martial Artist's Seven Realms, although his innate talent is not bad, unfortunately he met the wrong opponent." Tang Lin observed the two men's strengths.
At this time, Long Zixia also performed a set of "Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness" martial arts, stepping on mysterious steps, with a slender sword fluttering in her hand, and performing relatively simple moves that didn't seem as complicated as Long Sanjie's.
However, with just a slight collision, Long Sanjie's body retreated several steps back, his hand covering his chest, and his expression turned solemn.
Long Zichen grasped the slender sword in his hand, quietly waiting for the attack.
Long Sanjie suddenly coughed and said with a smile: "I admit defeat."
Everyone was shocked.
Long Ziyin stared at him in astonishment.
Long Sanjiao shrugged and said, "Anyway, I won't be able to beat him, so I'll save some energy for now and challenge No. 5 later."
Long Zichen glared at him with a bad temper and could only shake his head.
The first final ended like this, and everyone could only smile bitterly.
At this time, the second battle began, and the gray-clothed youth fought against Long Chen!
As soon as the two of them stepped onto the Dragon's Platform, Long Chen's eyebrows furrowed and his expression turned solemn, clearly treating the grey-clothed youth as a great enemy.
The youth in grey robes smiled lightly and chose a slender sword.
Long Chen uses a war knife.
Tang Lin could see that both of them were martial gods in strength, and this battle was likely to be very intense.
As he had expected, as soon as the fight began, both of them displayed "Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness", "Dragon Star Nine Wars" and "Dragon Leaping into Heaven's Gate" and other sets of martial arts, fighting to a stalemate.
Everyone in the upper class under the stage saw such a wonderful battle, and their eyes were shining one by one, secretly amazed at the power of the Long family.
Two young juniors, yet they have such strength!
How much stronger is the older generation?
Some young generals of the empire, seeing the two men's battle, were a bit red-faced. They had enjoyed all sorts of honors and praise, but at this moment, compared to these two, they were far inferior in both strength and age.
The only thing they can take out is probably their experience in using troops and fighting wars.
Soon, Long Chen felt his strength gradually weakening, while the gray-clothed youth seemed to be getting more and more courageous, with the moves he made becoming increasingly fierce and sharp. Before long, Long Chen revealed an opening, directly leading to his defeat.
Watching the outcome of the game, Tang Lin touched his own bamboo slip and walked onto the Dragon Town stage.
"I'll go first." Long Sanjie stepped up to the stage, gave Tang Lin a once-over, and said in an odd tone: "You're from the Dragon family? I've never seen you before, and yet you've learned 'Infinite Starry Sky'. People from our Dragon family aren't allowed to join other martial arts schools. How did you manage that?"
Tang Lin was about to respond, but seemed to have a sudden feeling, looked up at the tribal elder on the VIP seat, his only external grandfather who had a close relationship with him. At this moment, he looked down at Long Zixuan who was resting below the stage, his face full of doting and warmth.
Tang Lin's heart suddenly ignited a flame of anger for no reason.
The flames came so fiercely that they almost burned all the fresh blood in his chest cavity.
"I am not a member of the Long family." Tang Lin's icy voice echoed throughout the room: "My surname is Tang!"
