Everyone felt a bit dazed, as Lin Hen was actually a Lingwu Realm powerhouse, and he naturally had the qualifications to threaten Lin Wu.
Now, Lin Feng was also like Lin Hen, telling Lin Wu to get lost.
Shame and anger instantly surged in Lin Wu’s heart. He had been humiliated by Lin Hen and had been holding back his anger, and now the so-called waste in his eyes dared to humiliate him as well. This made Lin Wu feel a burning sensation on his face, and his heart turned cold and sharp.
"You’re looking for death." A hint of killing intent appeared in Lin Wu’s eyes. However, at this moment, a powerful aura rushed over. Although this aura was not as strong as Lin Hen’s Lingwu Realm, it still felt terrifying to Lin Wu. It was an oppressive aura.
"Three." Lin Feng uttered a single word. As he took a step forward, the oppressive aura on Lin Wu’s body intensified, making Lin Wu tense up all over. The anger and shame instantly dissipated, leaving only shock and horror.
At the Ninth Level of the Qiwu Realm, he felt such oppression when facing the so-called waste, Lin Wu.
The crowd was confused. They only saw the angry Lin Wu suddenly show a look of shock, and his steps toward Lin Feng stopped. Lin Feng, who had been gentle and calm, now moved forward slowly, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura. Even though they couldn’t feel the aura Lin Feng directed at Lin Wu, they could still see that Lin Feng’s demeanor had changed in an instant.
Moreover, Lin Feng gave them a strange feeling of harmony.
Yes, harmony, as if Lin Feng belonged there, blending into the scenery.
"Two." Lin Feng took his second step, and his not-so-loud voice seemed like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Wu’s heart, making him involuntarily take a step back.
The aura became even stronger, pressing down on him so hard that he couldn’t breathe, and he had no fighting spirit at all. It sounded ridiculous, but his confidence was shattered by Lin Feng’s two steps.
"What’s going on? Lin Wu is actually retreating?" someone muttered.
"I feel like Lin Feng has changed. He’s no longer a waste, but a sharp sword out of its sheath, ready to cut down anyone who stands in his way."
"Only one more word left." Lin Feng smiled at Lin Wu, but this smile seemed mocking to Lin Wu. Facing the so-called waste, he no longer had the courage to fight.
The long spear in his hand fell to the ground, and Lin Wu’s eyes no longer held the arrogance and sharpness. If Lin Hen’s humiliation had damaged his pride and made him realize his shortcomings, then Lin Feng’s strength had completely shattered his confidence, destroying his passion and fantasies for martial arts. This kind of blow was more terrifying than surface-level humiliation and could even affect his future martial arts cultivation.
"I admit defeat." Lin Wu took a deep breath, his eyes filled with confusion. He realized that his supposed strength and pride were so fragile.
"Admit defeat?" Lin Feng sneered. "I told you to get lost."
After humiliating him multiple times, could it all be over with just two words of admitting defeat?
If Lin Wu had won, Lin Feng was sure he would face all kinds of humiliation from Lin Wu. Lin Wu would never let him off. Now that Lin Wu found himself inferior to Lin Feng, were two words of admitting defeat enough? What about all the arrogant and humiliating words he had said before? Could they just be forgotten?
Obviously not. Lin Feng was not a saint but an ordinary person, one who dared to love and hate.
"Admitting defeat isn’t enough. You actually want me to get lost." Lin Wu’s anger surged again, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Is admitting defeat enough? You called me a waste and a disgrace to the family, and I didn’t even argue, letting you insult me. Did you ever think it was enough? You were humiliated by others and took it out on me. Did you ever think it was enough?" Lin Feng sneered. "Now, you find yourself not as good as me, and you think admitting defeat is enough. Don’t you find it funny?"
Lin Wu’s face turned pale and then red, looking extremely ugly.
"It seems time is up." A hint of a sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth. "I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t get lost, you’ll bear the consequences."
As he spoke, Lin Feng took another step forward. Lin Wu grunted and fell to the ground, his face full of shame and powerlessness.
A cold and fierce killing intent emerged, making the dejected Lin Wu feel fear. No matter how dejected and angry he felt, he still feared the cold killing intent.
"I’ll get lost." Lin Wu suddenly laughed, a laugh full of sorrow. He then fell to the ground and slowly rolled down the platform.
"Waste, family disgrace."
"The waste is still a waste, only using these despicable means."
"Get lost yourself, don’t embarrass yourself here."
As he rolled, Lin Wu remembered the insulting words he had said to Lin Feng. Now, recalling them, they seemed so ridiculous. He, Lin Wu, with his Ninth Level Qiwu Realm cultivation and extraordinary talent, how did he end up like this?
The crowd watched Lin Wu roll on the platform, their eyes filled with disbelief. They thought Lin Feng was crazy for daring to tell Lin Wu to get lost, but they didn’t expect that Lin Wu would actually do it.
"Lin Wu." The Seventh Elder stood up, his body trembling. How could this happen? His son should have been the pride of the family, one of the most outstanding geniuses, only slightly less brilliant than Lin Qian. But why did Lin Wu suffer humiliation twice in such a short time, and now even roll on the ground?
"Scoundrel." The Seventh Elder emitted a powerful aura of anger, his body radiating killing intent.
"Hmph." Lin Hai, sensing the Seventh Elder’s killing intent, coldly snorted, making the surrounding air instantly freeze.
"Calm down." Lin Badao glanced at the Seventh Elder and said indifferently, "Don’t worry, that waste won’t be arrogant for long."
The Seventh Elder’s anger didn’t subside, and he openly glared at Lin Hai before sitting down.
"Lin Feng wins." The Sixth Elder announced the result, looking deeply at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, unlike most of the Lin family’s direct descendants, did not inherit the ancestral fire or ice martial soul but had a small snake shadow. This snake martial soul lacked the wildness and dominance of beast martial souls and seemed to have no effect, making it a waste martial soul. Thus, Lin Feng was labeled as a waste.
Moreover, Lin Feng’s cultivation speed was extremely slow, further tarnishing his reputation. Everyone looked down on him. But this waste defeated Lin Yan in one move and made the arrogant Lin Wu roll on the ground. Was Lin Feng still the same waste?
"A tiger father has no dog children." The Sixth Elder pulled himself together and said, "Rest for half an hour, then proceed to the final battle."
"Elder, we four haven’t expended any energy, there’s no need to rest. Let’s start directly," Lin Qian said indifferently, still maintaining her arrogance even in front of the family elders. Her vision had broadened, and a Lin family elder was nothing to her. The Young Master Da Peng could easily defeat him.
"That’s right, let’s start directly," Lin Hong agreed. Among the final four, they two siblings occupied two spots, and today, the most glorious was undoubtedly Lin Badao.
The Sixth Elder looked at Lin Feng and asked, "What do you think?"
As for his son Lin Hen, he could make the decision directly.
"Sure," Lin Feng nodded. Up to this point, he hadn’t truly fought a battle yet.
"Since you all have no objections, let’s start directly," the Sixth Elder said decisively. "The final battle: Lin Feng vs. Lin Hong, Lin Qian vs. Lin Hen. Lin Feng and Lin Hong will fight first."
"The Sixth Elder arranged Lin Qian to fight Lin Hen, clearly having high hopes for Lin Hen."
"Lin Hen is also a Lingwu Realm powerhouse like Lin Qian. Lin Hong, although strong, is not a match. As for Lin Feng, he can’t defeat Lin Hen either. Only Lin Qian can match him. The Sixth Elder must have thought this way when making the arrangement. The ranking isn’t important; what matters is strength."
The crowd discussed, and at this moment, Lin Badao stood up and said loudly, "Sixth Elder, allow me to say a few words."
"Sure," the Sixth Elder nodded.
"These four represent the peak of our Lin family’s annual competition, symbolizing the young generation. I believe that admitting defeat should be invalid. Only by knocking the opponent down can it be considered a victory. This can fully unleash their potential and reveal their true combat strength," Lin Badao said confidently, occasionally glancing at Lin Hai, as if challenging him.
"How ruthless. It seems the master wants Lin Hong to take action against Lin Feng," the crowd thought.
"Head of the family, what do you think of my suggestion?" Lin Badao emphasized the words "head of the family," smiling at Lin Hai. If Lin Hai agreed, Lin Feng would face danger; if he refused, it would damage his authority as the head of the family, and Lin Badao might take advantage of the situation.
PS: The book’s performance so far isn’t great, far worse than the previous one. I hope everyone can support it more, giving me more motivation to write. Relying on my efforts alone is too small. Only with everyone’s support can we push the book forward. I thank everyone in advance!
