Chapter Twenty-Five: The Final Outcome

  Just as the two massive attacks were about to collide, Lu Yun suddenly changed his attack trajectory. Ling Tianyu's attack directly hit Lu Yun's body. When the audience thought Lu Yun had lost, a brilliant golden light burst forth from his body. "Indestructible!"

  Ling Tianyu's attack slammed into Lu Yun's body, but Lu Yun didn't have a single scratch. At the same time, Lu Yun's counterattack landed on Ling Tianyu's body. "Pfft!" Ling Tianyu flew out like a kite with its string cut, spewing blood wildly.

  Just when everyone thought the battle was over, but in fact it wasn't. Although Ling Tianyu had already flown out, "Whirlwind Drill" was still continuously attacking Lu Yun!

  One second...

  Two seconds...

  Three seconds... The attack still didn't stop, and when it reached the third second, Lu Yun's invincibility effect had already lost its effect. "Whirlwind Drill" crazily shattered all of Lu Yun's defenses. "Boom!" Lu Yun was directly blown away, and he also sprayed out a large amount of blood. The two people fell to the ground, unable to get up.

  The people under the stage did not make a sound, all looking at what the outcome would be like. Two people lay motionless on the ground.

  The judge looked helplessly at the face of Lu Wenyuan, the head of the Lu family. Lu Wenyuan stood up and said: "Everyone, both contestants have lost their fighting strength, whoever gets up first will be the final champion! Let's all cheer for them together!"

  The audience below immediately remembered the deafening roar: "Ling Tianyu, stand up! Stand up!" Some spectators also shouted: "Lu Yun, get up! Get up quickly, you're only one step away from final victory!"

  At this time, Ling Tianyu had already entered a state of coma. However, a strange scene occurred, and a red glow emanated from Ling Tianyu's body lying on the ground. Ling Tianyu, who was in a coma, suddenly felt something flash through his mind and suddenly woke up. But Ling Tianyu no longer had any strength left.

  Ling Tianyu thought: "Did I lose?" At this time, a shout came into Ling Tianyu's ears: "Ling Tianyu, get up, you will win if you stand up!" Ling Tianyu was shocked. "Really? Will I win if I stand up? I want to win, I don't want to disappoint my father!" Ling Tianyu trembled all over and slowly got up.

  Everyone saw that Ling Tianyu was making a move, and the shouting voices became even more intense. With his strong willpower, Ling Tianyu slowly began to prepare to stand up.

  The noise in the field has reached its peak. Lu Yun also woke up. Lu Yun heard the shouting of the audience and understood that as long as he stood up, he would win. But Lu Yun helplessly found that he had lost contact with his body and couldn't exert any strength.

  Actually, Lu Yun's injuries were slightly lighter than Ling Tianyu's at the time, but the nature of their attacks was completely different. Both of their attacks were full of penetrating power, and Lu Yun's penetrating power was even stronger. However, Ling Tianyu's "Whirlwind Drill" not only had penetrating power, but also possessed great tearing force. At this moment, Lu Yun had already been torn apart by that tearing force, his four limbs broken, and he couldn't move at all.

  Lu Yun smiled faintly and thought: "Lost? Lost then...". He fell asleep, but his face was relaxed.

  Ling Tianyu heard the enthusiastic cheers around him and stood up with his strong willpower. Seeing Ling Tianyu stand up, the crowd cheered excitedly: "You won, Ling Tianyu, you are the best!"

  The judge looked at the scene and announced expressionlessly: "I declare that Ling Tianyu wins!"

  "Did I win? Did I really win?" Ling Tianyu thought to himself, before also fainting and falling into the past. The people from the Ling and Lu families immediately went onto the stage, carrying the two of them back to receive treatment.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, the Tianfeng Conference has officially come to an end. This conference has brought endless surprises to everyone, and we would like to give a warm round of applause once again for the wonderful performances of all the contestants!" As the audience applauded, the Tianfeng Conference came to a close...

  Ling Tianyu was sent back to the Ling family's residence by the people of the Ling family. At this time, Ling Tianyu's injury was very serious and he had been in a coma all along. After checking his injuries, Ling Feng also shook his head. Ling Tianxue anxiously asked beside him: "How is it, Third Uncle? How is Tianyu's injury?"

  "Alas! The injury is quite severe, it has already affected the internal organs. Within seven days, he may remain in a coma. To fully recover, it may take about a month or so. Alas! Tianyu is indeed a stubborn and strong-willed child, risking serious injury to win the championship. For an eight-year-old child, it's really too much for him." The people around nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became very heavy.

  Ling Tianxue saw that everyone's faces were not very good at this time, so he comforted: "What do you mean by this? Tianyu won the championship, isn't it something that everyone didn't expect? Our Ling family has produced such a talented person, shouldn't we all be happy about it? What are you losing, Tianyu is the pride of all of us!"

  Everyone's face finally changed after hearing Ling Tianxue's words. They all thought: "Yes, Tianyu won the championship and it's our Ling family's pride, so we shouldn't be sad. Tianyu is only seriously injured but not in danger of his life, so we should be happy instead."

  After being comforted by Ling Tianxue, the atmosphere had also been adjusted very well. Everyone knew that Ling Tianyu would not wake up for the time being, so they all stayed in Ling Tianyu's room for a while before leaving one after another. But just at this moment, an incredible change occurred within Ling Tianyu's body.

  At this time, Ling Tianyu was unconscious on the bed. However, the true energy inside his body continued to flow and transform, with threads of crimson true energy constantly circulating within his body, each time passing through areas where Ling Tianyu had injuries. Whenever it passed through those areas, Ling Tianyu's injuries would improve slightly. This scene repeated itself over and over, with Ling Tianyu's recovery speed growing faster and faster. If Ling Feng were to check on Ling Tianyu's injuries at this moment, he would be astonished to discover that Ling Tianyu's injuries had already recovered by nearly half.

  Two days later, Ling Tianxue and Ling Feng arrived at Ling Tianyu's room, both of their faces filled with concern. Suddenly, Ling Tianyu let out a groan, and Ling Feng asked in surprise: "Tianxue, did you hear that just now?" Ling Tianxue's face was also full of excitement at this moment: "Seemed to have heard it."

  Two people looked at Ling Tianyu's bed at the same time, and at this moment, Ling Tianyu turned over and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as Ling Tianyu opened his eyes, he saw Ling Feng and the others. He weakly asked: "Father, cousin, how did you come?" Ling Feng replied: "We came to see how your injury is, stinky boy, I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, I thought you would still be unconscious for a few more days!"

  Ling Tianyu looked puzzled and asked, "What? Did I faint for a long time?" Ling Tianxue hastily replied, "Not long, not long, it's only the third day today." Ling Tianyu was surprised and said, "I actually fainted for three days, what about the competition, did I lose?"

  Ling Tian Xue replied, "No, you won. You're really a freak, not only is your strength and cultivation speed extremely high, but even your recovery ability is astonishing. I think words like 'freak' or 'prodigy' can no longer describe you."

  Ling Feng and Ling Tian Xue both burst out laughing. Ling Tian Yu scratched his head with a embarrassed expression, saying: "So I won? At the time, all I heard was that as long as I stood up, I would win. Later on, I didn't realize it, I thought I lost!"

  Ling Feng and Ling Tian Xue felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel heartache. Because they knew that only now did the two of them realize that this child had become so stubborn. When Ling Tian Yu heard the crowd's shouting, he had already lost consciousness. At that time, Ling Tian Yu was completely relying on his body's automatic actions to get up.

  Ling Feng's face showed a rare gentleness as he said, "Child, you've done very well. You will definitely become the strongest pillar of our Ling family in the future! Rest well now, I won't disturb you anymore." After that, he walked out of Ling Tianyu's room. Ling Tiansnow brought food to Ling Tianyu and left his room as well.

  At this time, Ling Tianyu finished eating and sat up on the bed to meditate and heal his wounds, hoping that his injuries would recover quickly. To his surprise, he found that the crimson true energy in his body could actually heal his own wounds. This discovery made Ling Tianyu extremely excited, because not only could the crimson true energy enhance his attack power, but it also had a healing effect, and its efficacy was even better than that of high-grade precious pills, possibly rivaling that of top-grade precious pills.

  Ling Tianyu was healing his wounds while reflecting on his battle with Lu. At this moment, Ling Tianyu's cultivation had made some progress. Through the battle with Lu Yun, Ling Tianyu's willpower had become more resilient. His mental state had also improved, and his cultivation was now only one step away from reaching the middle stage of the Innate Realm. With continued effort, he would soon be able to break through his current level and reach the middle stage of the Acquired Realm. Ling Tianyu thought to himself: "If I were to fight Lu Yun again now, although I don't know if I would win or not, at least it would be much easier than last time."

  Two weeks later, Ling Tianyu's injury had recovered more than half and was preparing to leave the next day. Ling Tianyu was practicing his skills when Ling Tianxue suddenly ran in and chatted with him. When he saw that it was Ling Tianxue, he warmly greeted her: "Cousin, you're here!"
