Villain: I Am Wronged, Master, I Am Really Not A Scumbag

"Tianyuan Secret Canon!"

This time, he dared not be careless and immediately displayed the amplification secret technique.

His cultivation immediately skyrocketed again, reaching the initial stage of the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

"Oh? Do you think you're the only one with secret techniques?"

"Let's try the 'Great Desolation Sutra'!"

Lin Xingyun chuckled lightly and then clenched his hand downward.

Countless spiritual energies suddenly surged from the ground of the martial arts arena, converging rapidly towards Lin Xingyun!

His cultivation also rapidly increased.

"This aura... is a high-grade Saint amplification secret technique?!"

Lin Ce felt the extraordinariness of the "Great Desolation Sutra" and a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

The opponent's strength was already formidable, and their amplification secret technique was even stronger than his.

How could he continue to fight?

But at this point, he had no choice but to press on!

He focused his mind and qi, and once again raised his sword.

At this moment, Lin Xingyun also completed his amplification.

His foundation was too solid, like an unfathomable pool of water.

Therefore, even though he used the "Great Desolation Sutra," his cultivation only barely reached the initial stage of the Origin Palace Realm.

But at this moment, he was already much stronger than before!

He used his index and middle fingers as a sword, continuously displaying the Nine Leaf Sword Art.

Incredibly rich and solid spiritual energy transformed into numerous green-golden sword grass, beginning to attack Lin Lang.

Lin Ce wielded his sword to block and parry, instantly falling into a disadvantage once again!

Forced into a corner, he knew he couldn't delay any longer and immediately used his ultimate move.

His whole body ignited with red blood flames, enhancing his momentum even further.

The long sword in his hand emitted a menacing blood-red light!

"Ancient Phoenix Blood Feather Sword!"

He swung his sword with all his strength, slashing out more than ten blood feather divine phoenixes.

Those sword qi divine phoenixes finally pushed back the surrounding sword grass.

Then they rushed towards Lin Xingyun!

"The swiftest wind knows the sturdiest grass!"

Lin Xingyun once again covered himself with the mysterious yellow exquisite armor.

Then he counterattacked, using his index and middle fingers as a sword, dancing out numerous green-golden sword lights.

One after another, he cut those blood-colored divine phoenixes into pieces!

And he once again closed in on Lin Ce, throwing a punch that created a series of explosive sounds.

Lin Ce dared not be careless anymore and immediately used his full strength to wield his sword, blocking this punch.

"Clang!"

After a loud noise, the clash between the sword and the fist reached a temporary stalemate.

Then Lin Xingyun, relying solely on his fists, began to engage in close combat with Lin Ce's sword moves!

In order to train his actual combat abilities, he didn't plan to use the Great Principle Dao Sword today.

Otherwise, with a single sword strike, the opponent would definitely be instantly defeated!

"Damn it! I can't break through at all! I can't even leave a trace!"

"Wasn't it said that the [Innate Dao Fetus] physique has average physical strength and defense?!"

"How can his physical strength and defense be so terrifying?!"

"It's even more outrageous than a demonic beast!"

The more Lin Ce fought, the more fearful and trembling he became!

The opponent's physical strength was astonishingly powerful, and he couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

How could he continue to fight?

It seemed impossible to win!

"Second Young Master, about today... I'm willing to apologize!"

"If we continue fighting, both of us will inevitably be injured."

"You've already gained enough face by now, and I can also retain the position of Saint Child."

"Give me a chance, and I will definitely change my ways and start anew!"

Lin Ce fought and retreated, secretly transmitting his voice to Lin Xingyun.

Clearly, he was admitting defeat.

"Oh? Alright."

Lin Xingyun punched him back several zhang and also responded through voice transmission.

"In that case, Second Young Master, let's..."

"If you can withstand my move, I will stop."

Lin Xingyun pointed his sword again.

This time, he integrated dozens of green-golden sword grass into one and slashed them all towards Lin Ce!

"Damn it!"

"Alright! I'll take your move!"

Lin Ce cursed inwardly.

Then he focused all his attention and poured all his spiritual energy into his long sword!

But just as he was about to go all out and take Lin Xingyun's move...

Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

He saw a faint golden sword ball phantom, which he didn't know when it had already attacked him at lightning speed!

He didn't have time to defend himself and was hit in the head by the sword ball!

But not a drop of blood was shed, nor was there a scratch.

Because this was a soul attack, the first level Divine Ability of the "Sword Soul Emperor Sutra" after entering the introductory stage - Soul-Cleansing Sword Ball!

It could condense an invisible sword ball with the soul, directly attacking the enemy's soul.

Being hit by this sword ball would at least damage one's soul and greatly reduce their combat power.

In severe cases, it could directly annihilate the soul!

"Ah!"

Lin Ce let out an extremely miserable scream, feeling as if his soul was about to be torn apart!

This kind of soul-focused Divine Ability was inherently difficult to defend against, and he was not a main cultivator of the soul path.

Moreover, all the Divine Abilities related to the soul were extremely profound.

He couldn't even dream that Lin Xingyun, a mere Wheel Sea Realm cultivator, could master such a soul Divine Ability!

Caught off guard, he was hit in one strike, and Lin Ce instantly fell into chaos.

The green-golden nine-leaf sword qi followed, and he could only barely wield his sword to defend.

But he was still cut all over by the sharp sword qi, covered in blood.

In the end, he was no longer able to resist and was struck away by a sword.

He fell heavily to the ground below the martial arts stage!

"Poof———!"

His breath quickly weakened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The luxurious purple robe he wore was now tattered and stained with blood, in a sorry state.

The surrounding crowd quickly retreated several yards.

Everyone's faces were filled with shock as they looked at the defeated tenth Saint Child.

The scene fell into a deathly silence...

Lin Qian, although also greatly shocked upon seeing this scene, was after all mature and immediately announced loudly,

"The duel is over!"

"Lin Xingyun, wins!"

"I will report to the Elder Hall later. From today onwards, Lin Xingyun will be the tenth Saint Child of our Lin Family!"

"Congratulations, Saint Child!"

Then, leading his subordinates, he bowed and congratulated Lin Xingyun.

Gradually, people in the crowd began to regain their senses.

They started to bow and congratulate Lin Xingyun.

"Congratulations, Saint Child!"

"Congratulations, Saint Child!"

Soon, the martial arts arena once again resounded with cheers and congratulations like a tidal wave.

The shock, awe, and admiration that had accumulated in everyone's hearts

were now transformed into shouts of celebration!

"He can defeat Lin Ce even with a whole realm difference?!"

"This is truly a monstrous genius!"

"Innate Dao Fetus, it's terrifying!"

"Oh my god! Turns out the young master is the most formidable!"

"Not only the young master, but now he's also a Saint Child!"

"Oh! Jimei, why are you nosebleeding?!"

"Uh... I'm bleeding from the young master's handsomeness... I can't take it anymore, I'm going to... I'm going to bleed—"

"Young master! I want to give birth to monkeys for you!"

Those Lin Family girls who were infatuated with Lin Xingyun

were now screaming with even more excitement!

The atmosphere in the entire venue instantly reached its peak.

And as they watched the people around them cheer and scream for Lin Xingyun, their own position as Saint Child had been taken away.

"Poof———!"

Lin Ce's anger surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood again.

Then he fainted.

This time, everyone was busy congratulating the new Saint Child, and there was no one to carry him for medical treatment!

At this moment, Lin Qingzhu was staring blankly at the martial arts stage, where Lin Xingyun was still relaxed and at ease.

She covered her mouth, unable to speak.

The gratitude and infatuation she felt for the young master burned like a raging fire at this moment.

Her favorability towards Lin Xingyun increased by 7 points again.

Reaching a level of 99 points [Unwavering until death]!

As for Xiao Qianluo, as she looked at Lin Xingyun's spirited and admired appearance,

she also felt a sense of joy and pride.

But she inexplicably felt inferior.

...

After these matters were settled,

Lin Xingyun took Xiao Qianluo and Lin Qingzhu to visit Lin Chuan, who was being treated in the Lin Family's medicine hall.

Upon learning that Lin Xingyun had actually defeated Lin Ce and won the position of Saint Child,

Lin Chuan was also stunned and couldn't speak for a while...

He suddenly felt an infinite sense of frustration.

He couldn't defeat an opponent even when he fought with all his might.

But he was easily defeated by this young master who was younger than him and had a much lower cultivation level!

Truly, people are incomparable and it's infuriating!

"Brother! Didn't you see? The young master just now... he's really amazing!"

"That Lin Ce was no match for him at all!"

"And just now, the young master even spoke up for us disciples of the branch, warning everyone not to discriminate in the future."

"Brother, the young master... he's really kind!"

"He's powerful and kind, and he even..."

Lin Qingzhu excitedly blushed.

She didn't care that Lin Xingyun was right beside her and kept praising him.

Lin Chuan listened and was once again stunned.

He looked at Lin Xingyun and fell into deep thought.

"I originally thought that the young master was lecherous and frivolous..."

"I didn't expect him to have such magnanimity, willing to stand up for us branch disciples!"

"Such a broad-minded and righteous person..."

"And his talent and strength are terrifying!"

"Perhaps... he is indeed worth following..."

Lin Xingyun, however, smiled and remained silent.

Looking at Lin Chuan's conflicted and complicated expression, he found it amusing.

If these siblings were to find out,

that Lin Chuan's defeat was entirely manipulated by him,

that he had taken away his cultivation technique,

and had instructed Lin Qian to take away his jade talisman on the spot,

he wondered how wonderful their expressions would be!

But this was just a thought.

These siblings would never know the truth.

"Young master..."

"I can never repay your great kindness, Lin Chuan!"

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Chuan finally made a decision.
