Chapter 66: The Indicator Competition Begins

  May 2nd, this day is exactly when the indicator contest begins.

  As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, this time's indicator competition will be held near the Stone Dragon Boat. The Stone Dragon Boat is a stone boat with a dragon head, very large, its bottom is supported by pillars on the river surface, and its shape has a kind of rough beauty, the stone-carved dragon head is quite majestic and powerful.

  Yan Zhen and her parents, as well as her younger sister, arrived near the Stone Dragon Boat, only to find a huge crowd of people gathered there. The atmosphere was lively and bustling, with thousands of people chatting excitedly about who might win the competition. Yan Zhen listened in on a few conversations and discovered that most people thought two individuals had the best chance of winning: her own brother-in-law, Lin Da Tong, and a man named Song He. Apparently, these two were considered to be the strongest competitors. Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen thought to herself, "Brother-in-law Lin Da Tong is quite capable, but unfortunately, he's still going to lose to me."

  Yan Zhen listened for a while, and also found it boring. She discovered that not far away was someone who looked familiar, wasn't that Duan Tiande?

  Yan was really idle, walked closer and listened, found that Duan Tiande was boasting, only to hear Duan Tiande say: "Hehe, this time I participate in the indicator competition, it must be who blocks who, unify the rivers and mountains, seize the indicator, easy as turning over one's hand."

  Yan Zhen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly after hearing that. She was actually interested, and wanted to hear more about how Duan Tiande would continue to brag.

  At this time, someone asked about Duan Tiande's bruised face and nose. Duan Tiande was taken aback for a moment, but the real reason for his injuries was that he had been beaten by Yan Zhen. However, Duan Tiande was a proud person who didn't want to lose face, so he wouldn't admit it. He quickly thought of an excuse and laughed loudly, saying: "I went hunting for monsters recently and encountered a powerful one that could spit fire, move as fast as lightning, and split the earth with its feet. Luckily, I was the one who met it; if someone else had, they would have been doomed. I fought the monster for 300 rounds and finally defeated it, but not before getting myself bruised all over."

  The people around heard Duan Tiande's such a lie, and couldn't help but flatter him with a few words. After all, Duan Tiande was a Jiedan realm cultivator, an object of their reverence.

  Yan Zhen was listening on the side, her stomach almost hurting from laughter. This Duan Tiande is too much. Yan Zhen's laugh wasn't a big deal, but she accidentally laughed out loud, and immediately heard Duan Tiande coldly shout: "Who dares to laugh at me?" Then he saw Duan Tiande turn around, first with an arrogant expression wanting to cause trouble, but as soon as he saw Yan Zhen, his expression changed in an instant. His forehead was almost sweating from fear.

  Yan Zhen couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that the last time he fought Duan Tiande, he must have scared him, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression. After careful consideration, he realized that the final move of his Storm Sword Technique, Storm Dragon Whirl, had indeed hit its mark, and its power was truly terrifying, no wonder Duan Tiande would react this way.

  Duan Tiande looked at Yan Zhen with some surprise: "You, you're also here."

  "Ah, I'm here." Yan Zhen nodded and said casually.

  "I don't know what Yan Ge Er is doing here, could it be that he's here to refuel? I heard that your two uncles Lin Da Tong and Lin Da Li both participated in the quota contention war." Duan Tian De continued to wipe his sweat as he spoke.

  "No, no, I'm not interested in cheering for either of them." Yanzhen shook her head: "I came because I also participated in the indicator competition."

  Duan Tiande's face darkened as soon as he heard Yan Zhen say that, and he almost cried. No way, was he going to run into Yan Zhen, his jinx, again?

  Yan Zhen smiled slightly and patted Duantian De's shoulder: "Do well, maybe we'll have the chance to meet in the indicator competition."

  Duan Tiande was about to cry, his face looked very downcast, and the people next to Duan Tiande were also very curious. Who exactly was this young man called Yan Geer by Duan Tiande? Why did Duan Tiande look so afraid of him? He even had a bold and fearless attitude, daring to directly pat Duan Tiande's shoulder, which showed that his identity was not ordinary.

  ……

  Yan Zhen and Duan Tian De chatted for a few sentences, then walked in the direction where their parents and sister were. Only after returning to this side did they discover a line of people walking over.

  The first row from left to right is Lin Lao Tai Tai, then Lin Da Tong, Lin Da Li, Lin Da Tong's wife, Lin Da Li's wife, Lin Da Tong's son Lin Bu Fan, Lin Da Li's son Lin Bu Qun, and their daughter Lin Xiao Lei.

  Lin Datong looked at Yan Zhen, with a strange smile: "Yan Zhen, you boasted yesterday that you would win the indicator competition against me. Today, let's see how you can defeat me. You are doomed to be defeated by me today."

  Lin Daluo also sneered: "Indeed, you are the kind of person who can only advance to the foundation building stage. I'm afraid you don't even understand the battles at the foundation building stage and are still stuck in the fighting mode of the Qi refining period. You want to fight with us? It's really laughable. With such a big age difference, and such a huge gap in experience, Yan Zhen, you are truly the most arrogant person I have ever seen."

  Lin Bu Fan also said: "My father's strength is far beyond your imagination."

  Lin Buqun also chimed in, "Both Eldest Uncle and my father are very powerful. Yan Zhen, you're still a bit too young, with shallow experience. Today, you'll be thoroughly defeated by both Eldest Uncle and my father."

  Yan Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud at this, and his laughter echoed several times, which made Lin Da Tong and others feel somewhat puzzled.

  Yan Zhen smiled and said, "In this era, comparing strength is not about comparing age. If we compare ages, there's no need to fight at all. A thousand-year-old turtle would be more powerful than us. Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle, you two are at most a hundred-year-old tortoise."

  This sentence is somewhat poisonous.

  Lin Datong and Lin Dalǐ were furious, Lin Datong angrily said: "Great rebellion, great rebellion, wait for me to deal with you later."

  Yan Zhen sighed: "Can't you come up with some new phrases? Scolding people back and forth, always using the same two sentences. Yesterday it was 'greatly inauspicious', today it's still 'greatly inauspicious'. Aren't you tired of it? Alas, how pitiful, living for several decades, yet only knowing a few scolding phrases."

  "Haha!" Yanshuang Jun burst out laughing, and also clenched her small fist: "Well said." In fact, she had long been displeased with the two uncles. She had never seen such disgusting uncles before. She wanted to fight back but was always suppressed by her mother. Now seeing Yan Zhen speak up for her, she felt a sense of relief. Yanshuang Jun thought that her brother was also quite formidable after all.

  Lin Xiang wanted to say something, blaming Yan Zhen a few words, but since yesterday, he knew that he had thoroughly fallen out with his two elder brothers, and it was too late to make amends. He could only look at Old Lady Lin with great reluctance. Fortunately, Old Lady Lin was also gentle and didn't show much anger.

  Yan Tieyi's face remained calm and expressionless, but in his heart, he secretly praised, "Good!" Yan Tieyi had indeed been bullied by Lin Datong and Lin Dalin for many years. They would mock and ridicule him, but Yan Tieyi was not as skilled as them, and his verbal sparring skills were far inferior. However, seeing how well his son, Yan Zhen, handled the argument and left Lin Datong and Lin Dalin at a loss, he couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart. Yan Tieyi thought to himself, "Son, you're doing great! You're much better than your old man!"

  The second one is delivered too.
