Seeing the Sword Qi that was about to attack him being blocked by another Sword Qi, Ling Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, also had a face full of shock as he looked at Ling Yun Fan's attack.

At this moment, it was not only him who was looking at Ling Yunfan like that. All of the people present were looking at him, and those pairs of eyes were filled with curiosity and puzzlement.

"It seems like Fan'er has indeed grown. He is now able to receive and release it with ease. This piece of jade finally shows a trace of a precious light." Looking down at Ling Yun Fan, Third Elder Ling Zhong's eyes were filled with appreciation as he spoke.

As for Ling Hao, who was Ling Xuan's father, he rubbed his chest and gasped for breath with a face full of misery.

"The first place person on the first stage is Ling Yunfan." After which, Ling Tianba stood up with a smile on his face and announced the winner.

Then, he opened his mouth again and said: "Next, Ling Hong will fight Ling Jie, Ling Yun Fan will fight Ling Song."

"Thank you for being lenient." Seeing that Ling Yunfan was about to step down from the stage, Ling Xuan immediately gave his thanks.

"No need to thank me. You and I have no enmity and I have no interest in seriously injuring you or anything like that. I don't like killing each other." Hearing this, Ling Yun did not even turn his head back as he squeezed into the crowd.

Seeing Ling Yunfan leave, Ling Xuan also walked down the stage. He chose to go back to cultivate and did not plan to continue watching the competition. The reason for this was because he knew who would fall from first place, so there was no need to watch anymore.

As expected, after he left, due to the fact that Ling Jie's cultivation was lower than Ling Hong's, he chose to surrender, while Ling Song personally witnessed Ling Yun Fan's strength and chose to surrender as well.

And just like this, there were two people standing on the stage, Ling Yun Fan and Ling Hong, who were having a difficult time attacking each other.

Seeing Ling Hong in front of him, who was only at the 8th Body Refinement Layer, Lingyun could not bear to help, because to him, even if he deliberately let go of the water, with just his cultivation at the 8th Body Refinement Layer, it was impossible for him to contend against him. In addition, the other party was Ling Hong's cousin who was close to him, so no matter how much he wanted to be number one in the Family Competition, he could not hurt his cousin.

"Brother Yun Fan, congratulations on finally surpassing the peak and obtaining first place in the Family Competition." After looking at Ling Yun Fan for a while, Ling Hong let out a sigh and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Yunfan gave a puzzled look to his opponent.

"I took first place in the Family Competition?" After listening to Ling Hong's words, Ling Yunfan thought about it for a while before saying, "Sister Ling Hong, could it be that you want to …"

"That's right, your current cultivation is already at the 9th Body Refinement Layer, and your strength has already surpassed god knows how many. There's no need to start this fight!" Seeing that Ling Yun Fan understood the meaning behind her words, Ling Hong also nodded.

Immediately after, Ling Hong turned to Ling Tianba and said, "Uncle Tianba, I surrender."

As soon as these words were spoken, even though the onlookers were somewhat shocked, they understood that there was no need to fight as the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

"Good, since that's the case, then the Ling Family's annual Family Competition's first place is Ling Yun Fan!" Upon seeing Ling Hong walk down from the dueling platform, Ling Tianba immediately stood up from his seat and announced excitedly.

"Thank you, Sister Ling Hong. I will definitely repay you well in the future." Looking at Ling Hong, who was walking down the stage, Ling Yun felt extremely grateful as he muttered to himself. He then looked at the sky and thought to himself: "I will definitely not fail to live up to the fortune given to me by the heavens. Two years later, I will definitely survive this life and death battle.

Following that, Ling Tianba's voice rang out, causing many people to cheer. The few elders also stood up excitedly, looking at Ling Yunfan as if he was a treasure.

With regards to his child's achievement in the Family Competition, Ling Tianba was naturally incomparably excited. After that, he opened his mouth and said: "The first in the Family Competition is Ling Yun Fan, the second Ling Hong, and the third is Ling Song and Ling Xuan.

After Ling Tianba announced the end of the Family Competition, those who were watching also started to disperse one by one. In the end, they all left.

Because the Family Competition had already ended, the others did not continue to stay there. Just like that, in a short period of time, Ling Tianba, Ling Zhong, and Ling Yun Fan were left behind in the plaza.

"Yun Fan, you really did not disappoint us all. You are the true number one of the Ling Family's younger generation!" Ling Gong, who had walked up to Lingyun Fan, showed a kind smile, grabbed his shoulders, and said with a very gentle voice.

Immediately after, he took out another scroll and passed it to Lingyun.

However, when he looked at the other side's scroll, he was astonished to find three large words on it: "Raging Flames Break."

"This is?" Towards the Fiery Blaze Break martial skill, Ling Yunfan did not understand it in the slightest, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"This is a mid-grade Profound Rank martial skill that the Third Elder obtained by chance when he was out training when he was young. The Flame Fist that I gave you earlier was actually separated out from this Fiery Blaze Break …" Hearing Ling Yunfan's question, Ling Bi did not even have the time to explain as Ling Tianba explained it to him first.

Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan said gratefully: "Many thanks to the third elder for the gift."

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve. I, the Third Elder, am unable to help you in this life and death battle two years from now, so I can only give this to you. I hope you can get some help on your way." Towards Ling Yun Fan's gratitude, Ling Rong immediately supported Ling Yun who wanted to bow and greet him, and said quickly.

Seeing this, Ling Tian Ba did not want the two to continue being grateful, so he immediately said loudly: "Alright, alright, today is the day Fan'er obtained the first place in the Family Competition. Let's go back and have a good meal to celebrate!"

After speaking, he didn't even let the two of them say anything else. He directly grabbed the two of them and quickly walked towards the back.

Ling Yun Fan and Ling Zhong, who had been captured by Ling Tianba, naturally did not resist and allowed themselves to be dragged away.

Returning to the Ling residence, the people who had good relations with Ling Yunfan all sat at their tables, happily chatting, drinking, and eating.

This wedding banquet ended around midnight.

After everyone had left, the entire residence instantly became quiet. Ling Tianba also arrived before Ling Yunfan and took out a command medallion with the word 'Dragon' carved on it, and handed it over.

Seeing this, Lingyun slowly took a look and discovered that although this token was made of wood, it was made from the finest thousand year peach wood. With just a light sniff, a sweet fragrance entered his nose.

"Father, could this be the inner disciple qualification token of the Hidden Dragon Sect?" After looking at it for a while, Lingyun was no longer sure what this token was, but he still wanted to ask his father.

Yes, normally, the Hidden Dragon Sect only accepts outer disciples once every ten years, and this qualification token can ignore the rules of becoming an outer disciple since the day you become an outer disciple. However, you must also have a cultivation at the 9th Body Refinement Layer.

"It is true that the development of the Hidden Dragon Sect is very good, but there will also be dangers. Li Xue'er should be your biggest enemy in the sect. You have to be careful around here!" Hearing Ling Yun Fan's question, Ling Tianba began to explain carefully.

Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan nodded his head to show that he understood and put away the order badge. He did not say anything more and returned to his room.
