Lin Hai's expression was not good. Today, Lin Feng's performance had far exceeded his expectations, and he felt a sense of relief. However, Lin Bardao would not speak so confidently without a reason. Even if Lin Feng could match Lin Hong, what about the next round against Lin Qian? Lin Bardao wanted to put Lin Feng to death.
"How can the head of the Lin family lack the courage to let the younger generation show their abilities?" Seeing Lin Hai's silence, Lin Bardao continued to pressure him.
"Father, agree to it."
Lin Feng's heart turned cold. He and the Lin Bardao family had no grudges or enmity, and could even be considered close relatives. But the Lin Bardao family had repeatedly plotted to take his father's position as the clan leader and wanted his life. Since this was the case, if you act unrighteously, I will not hesitate. I will fight.
Lin Hai looked at Lin Feng, whose gaze was clear and confident. His lips moved slightly, and he said one word: "Fine."
"Good, the clan leader is indeed the head of our Lin family, with great courage. Since the clan leader has already agreed, let's start. Elder Six, let Lin Qian and Lin Hen fight first." Lin Bardao appeared spirited and very pleased. Since Lin Hai had nodded, he was waiting to see the main event.
"Alright." Elder Six nodded in agreement.
"Admit defeat, you are no match for me." Lin Qian walked onto the stage, wearing a long robe with a phoenix tail, looking extremely arrogant.
"Even if I am not your match, I must still fight." Lin Hen's fighting spirit burned, and his Flame Martial Spirit was released, making the air restless.
"Your Martial Spirit has undergone a life awakening, which is quite good. Unfortunately, it is still just a Flame Martial Spirit. There was no mutation during the awakening, so you have no chance at all." Lin Qian's voice was cold. The first hurdle for a martial cultivator is to advance to the Spirit Martial Realm. During the advancement, the Martial Spirit undergoes a life awakening. During the awakening process, very few Martial Spirits undergo a mutation, becoming even stronger.
And Lin Qian, after her Martial Spirit underwent a life awakening, her Martial Spirit mutated and became even stronger, becoming an Ice and Fire Dual-Source Martial Spirit.
The shadow of an Ice and Fire dual-source Martial Spirit bloomed behind Lin Qian, with ice and fire intertwined. The burning flames were covered with white frost, creating a magnificent sight. The space alternated between restlessness and freezing, extremely bizarre.
"I've heard that Lin Qian's Martial Spirit underwent a life awakening and became an Ice and Fire Dual-Source Martial Spirit. It's true, she is indeed the pinnacle genius of our Lin family, far beyond the waste that is Lin Feng."
"Exactly, no wonder so many elders openly support Lin Qian. An Ice and Fire Dual-Source Martial Spirit not only gives her an advantage in Martial Spirits but also allows her to cultivate both ice and fire techniques and skills. She will surely become a powerful figure in the future."
Hearing the whispers below, Lin Bardao's smile became even more pronounced, and the faces of the elders around him also improved.
"Ice and Snow."
Lin Qian spoke coldly, and the world turned icy, with white mist rising as if it were about to snow.
Ice has a certain restraining effect on fire, so Lin Qian used an ice technique first.
"Lava Palm." Lin Hen shouted, and a powerful palm strike was unleashed, with a faint flame burning in his palm.
"Weak Water Condensing Ice." Lin Qian was not afraid, and her icy palm clashed with Lin Hen. A hissing sound was heard, and a layer of ice instantly formed on Lin Hen's hand.
"Burn." She coldly said one word, and the ice turned into a mist. Lin Hen felt an indescribable pain in his palm, shouted, and then retreated, with a charred and blackened piece of flesh on his palm.
"Lin Hen." Elder Six was worried.
"I'm fine." Lin Hen gritted his teeth, and his teeth chattered, indicating the intense pain he was enduring.
"I will challenge you again." Lin Hen glanced at Lin Qian, turned, and left, causing Elder Six to sigh. Although his son Lin Hen's talent was not great, his will was strong. If he had an opportunity, he would surely become a great figure in the future.
"You will never surpass me." Lin Qian said proudly. Her future achievements would be unmatched by anyone in the Lin family, and no one could surpass her.
"Using Ice and Fire Dual-Source to wield two opposing forces in an instant, the power is several times stronger." Lin Hai frowned. The stronger Lin Qian was, the more dangerous it was for Lin Feng.
"It's your turn." Lin Qian looked at Lin Feng with a cold smile and then walked off the stage.
Lin Feng looked up at the sky, where the blazing sun was almost at its zenith, and the sky was clear.
He lifted his foot and slowly walked onto the stage, where Lin Hong was already waiting for him.
"I and Lin Qian have been waiting for this battle for a long time." Lin Hong remained calm, looking at Lin Feng.
"I know." Lin Feng nodded.
"You don't need to have any illusions. You won't have any chance, whether you face me or Lin Qian, you will surely lose."
Lin Feng smiled. At this moment, Lin Hong exuded a quality of confidence, and Lin Feng was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
"What are you smiling about?" Lin Hong said coldly, "Do you think that by defeating Lin Wu, you have the right to fight me? I will tell you how naive your thoughts are."
"Why don't you just say that you have also reached the Spirit Martial Realm? There's no need to say so much nonsense to show off yourself." Lin Feng said sarcastically. He had forced Lin Wu to retreat, making him roll away. If Lin Hong had not reached the Spirit Martial Realm, how could he have such confidence?
Indeed, Lin Hong's face stiffened when he heard Lin Feng's words.
"So what if you know? You will still die." Lin Hong's face turned cold, and an Ice and Snow Martial Spirit appeared behind him. A powerful aura also emanated from his body.
"Spirit Martial Realm, Lin Hong is also a Spirit Martial Realm expert, hiding very deeply." The crowd exclaimed.
"No wonder the master has the ambition to dominate the Lin family. His children are too talented, both at the Spirit Martial Realm. If they grow up, our Lin family will surely rise. It seems the position of clan leader should indeed be changed." Many wavering members of the Lin family were now swayed, believing that Lin Bardao should be the clan leader to make the Lin family rise and become the strongest force in Yangzhou City.
"Today's annual meeting is destined to be the stage for Lin Qian and me. You are just a pitiful supporting role, easily defeated." Lin Hong's arrogance was evident, tearing off his gentle facade and revealing his fangs.
A cold aura spread around, and the Snow Shadow Manor only accepted those with Ice and Snow Martial Spirits. The Ice and Snow techniques and skills were very powerful. Lin Hong, coming from the Snow Shadow Manor, exuded a coldness that was no less than Lin Qian's, and even stronger.
Soon, a layer of snow-white frost appeared on Lin Feng's body. Even before the battle, Lin Hong had already affected Lin Feng.
"Thunder Sword Technique." Lin Feng took the initiative, and a sudden thunderclap made the crowd focus their attention. They saw the sword light on the stage and realized that today, Lin Feng could also shine, but the appearance of a few stronger individualsâLin Qian, Lin Hong, and Lin Hen, all Spirit Martial Realm expertsâhad overshadowed him.
Lin Hong was unconcerned and casually slapped out a palm, sending a cold aura toward Lin Feng and covering the sword with white frost.
"Thunder Sword." Lin Feng moved gracefully, his wrist flicking, and the ice and snow fell off the sword, which then advanced like a bamboo shoot breaking through the earth.
"Hmph." Lin Hong sneered, his palm directly striking the sword without any avoidance. A powerful Ice and Snow aura spread out, making the sword tip tremble and stopping its forward momentum.
"Spirit Martial Realm experts have powerful aura and external aura, indeed much stronger than the Qi Martial Realm." Lin Feng felt the strong force transmitted through the sword, but his expression did not change.
"Nine Waves." He retracted the sword and struck with his left hand, creating a powerful wave.
"Hmm?" Lin Hong's eyebrows raised, not expecting Lin Feng to use two techniques simultaneously with his left hand, which was extremely difficult to control, but Lin Feng managed it perfectly.
"Get out of my way." Lin Hong shouted, and with his Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, he did not have an advantage. Ice and snow danced, and frost raged, preventing the wave from advancing.
"Thunder Roar." Lin Feng remained steady, and the thunder roared as the sword moved like a venomous dragon.
"Good." Lin Hai praised, this was Lin Feng's true combat strength, with his techniques and movements being exquisite, fast, accurate, and fierce.
Lin Hong was forced to take a step back, his face dark. Although it was just one step, as a Spirit Martial Realm expert, he had been extremely arrogant, saying that Lin Feng was easily defeated. Now, being forced back by Lin Feng, his face was extremely ironic.
