Chapter 65: Before the Match

  The day before the indicator competition, it was a very windy and overcast day with no sun.

  Swallows are truly lounging on the swing bed in the courtyard, letting the wind blow their clothes and hair, it's very comfortable to lie like this.

  Tomorrow's indicator battle is not a big deal, Yan Zhen only has the habit of eating peanuts before a big battle, so this time Yan Zhen didn't eat peanuts at all.

  When Swallow was lying very comfortably, the door of Swallow's house was pushed open.

  Lin Datong and Lin Dalǐ walked into the Yan family with an air of superiority.

  Yan Tiejie and Lin Ying were also in the hall.

  Lin Datong burst out laughing and said with a few hints of pride: "Third sister, this time I'm passing by here to tell you all some good news."

  Yan Zhen listened quietly beside him and couldn't help but feel a little curious, how did Lin Da Tong end up coming to tell his family the good news?

  Lin Daitong burst out laughing: "I'm going to participate in this indicator competition, and with my strength, it's easy to win. At that time, I can move into the central residential area, and my status will be elevated."

  Lin Datong looked at Yan Tiejun and Yan Zhen after he finished speaking, first with a strange expression, then suddenly patted his thigh: "It's rare to have an indicator, we should conduct an indicator competition, why don't you two go participate? Oh, right, I seem to have forgotten, Yan Tiejun, you're only at the 9th level of Qi Refining, not even qualified to participate. Yan Zhen, although you've reached the first level of Foundation Establishment, you're too tender, going would be a waste of life, being humiliated by your seniors is not worth it, better to just stay put and not go."

  Yan Zhen also heard that Lin Da Tong, this guy, was just here to show off. At the time, at Old Lady Lin's place, he himself was a first-rate foundation-building master, and he had thoroughly surpassed his son Lin Bu Fan, as well as Lin Da Li's son Lin Bu Qun. With his temperament, he must have been very resentful, and now that he was participating in the indicator competition, he came here to show off. His son couldn't suppress Yan Zhen, so they personally took action, still not believing that they couldn't suppress this kid Yan Zhen.

  Yan Zhen heard Lin Da Tong boasting to his mother again and felt annoyed. Since he wanted to show off, she would suppress his arrogance thoroughly. Yan Zhen smiled lightly: "Big Brother-in-law, actually I also participated in the quota competition."

  Yan Zhen only saw that Lin Da Tong and Lin Da Li's faces were both stiff, they had not expected that Yan Zhen, such a newcomer, would also dare to participate in the quota competition.

  Yan Zhen continued: "Moreover, it's not just that. I also want to experience the style of my two uncles in the indicator competition, and hope that they have some real skills, so as not to be eliminated by me, their nephew. If they are really eliminated, they will lose face."

  Since they had already fallen out with these two uncles, they didn't give them any face and beat them hard.

  Lin Datong was taken aback at first, then a sneering smile appeared on his face: "Good, good, you have guts, really have guts. A mere Building Foundation Realm cultivator like you dares to speak such big words to me? Let's see who's more powerful in the competition for the indicator, whether it's me, the great uncle, or you, the little nephew. I'll let you know what it means to be humble and respect your elders."

  Lin Dalie also coldly said from the side, "No need for Big Brother to take action, even if I were to take action in the indicator competition, it would be enough to deal with this guy. Truly rebellious and unorthodox, a nephew daring to speak to his uncle like that."

  "How dare you, you're not even a decent person! You want me to treat you two as uncles? First, straighten up your own body and take a look at what you've done. It's laughable to the extreme." Yan Zhen sneered and said: "My mother is you

  "You three siblings, you didn't help my mother all these years, that's fine, we don't owe you a favor and don't need your help. But you've been mocking my mother for so many years without any reason, such behavior is ridiculous coming from an uncle."

  Lin Datong and Lin Dalin were speechless, and Yan Zhen actually hit their sore spot. Lin Datong and Lin Dalin were furious: "Just wait for the indicator competition."

  After saying this polite phrase, Lin Datong and Lin Dalin rushed out of the door.

  Yan Zhen sneered coldly. However, next she was naturally scolded by her mother Lin Ying for not treating her uncle well, and her mother Lin Ying had such a personality that she didn't know the virtues of her two older brothers but couldn't bear to tear her face off. Fortunately, her father Yan Tieyi helped Yan Zhen say a few words on her behalf, and this matter was thus settled.

  ……

  What to do on the last day?

  In terms of Fa Li, I have just been promoted to the second level of foundation building and can't be promoted for the time being. In terms of swordsmanship, I have mastered the dual sword source, and it is also difficult to promote for the time being.

  Then practice the step method, Yan Zhen has been practicing the Heavenly Ladder Step Method since he obtained it from the second floor of the Immortal Registry Pavilion, but he still hasn't reached the Great Completion.

  The Heaven Ladder Step Method. The true great achievement is to be able to tread nine steps in the air, getting higher with each step. This is a very useful stepping method when you can't fly.

  Yan Zhen has been practicing this set of steps, which is similar to the Eight Steps of Chasing Cicadas at the beginning. The Eight Steps of Chasing Cicadas uses magical power to push back and propel the body forward, while the Heavenly Ladder Step Method uses magical power to push down and propel the body upward.

  Yan Zhen had been practicing the steps to ascend to heaven, but only managed to master up to seven consecutive steps, and could never take the eighth and ninth steps. However, the essence of a set of steps often lies in the last one or two steps.

  Yan Zhen sank into deep thought, wondering how he could take the eighth step. It seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't take this eighth step. The eighth step of the Heavenly Ladder was known as the Wind-Defying Step.

  Yan Zhen once again demonstrated the heavenly ladder step method.

  From the first step to the seventh step, at this time it has already exceeded the height of the house, but at this time the breath will be exhausted and the eighth step cannot be taken.

  Wait! At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yan's mind. The eighth step might not just be about using the feet to exert force, but rather using the entire body to exert force and ride the wind.

  Yan Zhen was about to exhaust his strength in the upward surge, just as he was about to fall, he suddenly took a deep breath and began to exert force with his hands, body, and feet all at once. Then, a new force emerged from within his body, and he suddenly stepped out with the eighth step of Wind Control.

  The eighth step has gone up many heights and can offset two steps of height in the previous seven steps.

  He wanted to take the ninth step to transform into wind but couldn't get out of it. Yan Zhen finally fell heavily to the ground, landing on his face.

  "Bang!" The ground shook slightly.

  Yan Zhen tried again the step of ascending to heaven, and stepped out the eighth step of "Yu Feng" (Treading on the Wind). He practiced this move several times to become familiar with it.

  Yan Zhen was secretly thinking to himself that his current cultivation base had reached the second layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, and he had mastered two great sword sources in terms of swordsmanship. In terms of footwork, he had practiced the Eight Steps of the Swift Dragon to the eighth step, and the Heavenly Ladder to the eighth step as well.

  Yan Zhen estimated that his strength should be able to cope with the upcoming target competition without any difficulty.

  Yan's lips curled up in a cold smile, tomorrow, when the battle begins, he can slap those two selfish and ruthless uncles who have no family affection.

  Lin Datong, Lin Dali, your son lost and you personally took action, everything is what you brought upon yourselves.
