A golden palm, enveloped in a strong gust of wind, was hurled towards Lin Feng. The crowd seemed to already see Lin Feng being sent flying by this slap, even Lan Feng couldn't withstand a single move, let alone Lin Feng.
"Get lost." Lin Feng coldly shouted, his sword emerging with a dazzling light. The brilliant sword light and the golden palm intersected, colliding with a resounding clang.
The Golden Body Martial Spirit not only endowed Qiuyuan Hao with powerful offensive capabilities but also granted him unparalleled defensive strength, making him impervious to blades and swords.
This was Qiuyuan Hao's formidable reliance, the pride and arrogance that made him look down on everyone.
"Ridiculous, you, a mere lackey and a waste, don't even have the qualifications to harm me." Qiuyuan Hao sneered, the golden aura surging again. Lin Feng felt a tremendous force from his sword, almost causing him to lose his grip.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng responded calmly. The sword, swift and invincible, symbolizes destruction, capable of annihilating everything. No one can withstand the brilliance of the sword.
There are countless types of weapon spirits, but the sword has always been one of the most powerful. Although Lin Feng doesn't have a sword spirit, no one who possesses a sword spirit understands the sword as well as he does.
"Sword, Momentum." Lin Feng whispered in his heart. The sword's shadow glinted coldly, the light surging, and a powerful sword aura flickered at the tip of the sword, emitting a hissing sound.
"Crack..."
Lin Feng's sword collided with Qiuyuan Hao's martial spirit again, a tearing sound echoing. Qiuyuan Hao's expression changed slightly, his steps faltering. The domineering figure actually retreated, dodging the powerful sword strike.
Seeing Qiuyuan Hao retreat to his original position, Lin Feng stood with his sword, a cold smile on his face. "You said I don't even have the qualifications to harm you, so why did you retreat?"
Qiuyuan Hao's face turned grim, staring at Lin Feng. "I admit I underestimated you, but in my presence, you are still a mere chicken and dog, easily defeated."
"You talk too much." Lin Feng's tone was filled with disdain. "If genius is measured by words, you are indeed a genius."
"Such arrogance, it turns out that Lin Feng is so powerful." The crowd, who had personally witnessed Lin Feng forcing Qiuyuan Hao to retreat, their eyes flickered with uncertainty. They thought they had given Lin Feng enough credit, but they still underestimated his strength. Lin Feng was fully capable of competing with Lan Feng and Lin Qian.
Lan Feng and Lin Qian also looked at Lin Feng seriously. Earlier, they had only focused on each other, completely ignoring Lin Feng. Now, it seemed foolish. With Lin Feng's strength, he already had the qualifications to engage with them.
"Although I can't see your face, you are clearly very young and talented. If you could join our Lan family, it would be a great help." Lan Feng's mind raced, then she walked to Lin Feng's side and said, "Lin Feng, I admit I underestimated you. With your strength, you deserve the respect of our Lan family. Help us, and you can often interact with me. What do you think?"
Lan Feng's tone returned to its usual arrogance and confidence. Given her talent, frequent interaction with Lin Feng would benefit both parties, and with her appearance, such a good deal, she believed Lin Feng wouldn't refuse.
"Get lost."
To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng not only refused Lan Feng but also turned and slashed his sword at her, showing no mercy.
Lan Feng's pupils contracted, her Divine Arm Martial Spirit instantly blooming, a powerful divine punch striking the sword aimed at her.
However, the sword did not pause at all. A thunderous explosion echoed, a fierce burst of power carrying a sword aura hurricane, aiming to destroy everything.
Lan Feng's face changed drastically, her agile body quickly retreating, extremely fast.
"Strike." Lin Feng's left hand unleashed a punch, the punch transforming into countless shadows, stacking together, each punch more powerful than the last, like a fierce wave.
Incredibly fast, it struck Lan Feng in an instant.
A muffled groan, Lan Feng's body helplessly flew back, reaching the edge of the main stage, just one step away from falling off.
At this moment, the crowd's emotions were indescribable. Lin Feng had given them too many shocks.
As they continuously raised their estimation of Lin Feng's strength, they always found that they still underestimated him. Again and again, until now, Lin Feng, in a single move, defeated Lan Feng, decisively and cleanly.
Thinking back to their assumption that the martial arts competition would be Lan Feng and Lin Qian's stage, it seemed somewhat laughable. If it weren't for Qiuyuan Hao, Lin Feng would be the undisputed protagonist.
Not only the crowd, but Lan Feng and Lin Qian also couldn't believe it. Especially Lan Feng, before Qiuyuan Hao appeared, her eyes only saw Lin Qian. When the three stood on the final stage, she and Lin Qian still only focused on each other, completely ignoring Lin Feng. Now, it seemed so laughable.
"With your strength, you want to guide my cultivation?" Lin Feng looked at Lan Feng, his tone filled with intense sarcasm. This woman's arrogance was one thing, but what made Lin Feng angry was that she didn't respect others yet demanded respect from them. Otherwise, she would send assassins to kill him. Such a venomous woman, Lin Feng despised.
Lan Feng felt immense shame, remembering the words she had said, even she found them laughable.
"Join your Lan family and interact with you more? Who do you think you are? Arrogant and self-centered, what qualifications do you have for me to interact with you?"
Lin Feng continued to mock, wanting Lan Feng to understand how ridiculous her pride was.
Lan Feng's face burned, but she couldn't refute it.
At this moment, on the viewing platform of the city lord's residence, everyone was angrily staring at Lin Feng, their eyes cold. This sudden Lin Feng, who defeated Lan Feng in a single move, humiliated their Lan family's top genius.
No one was more excited than the crowd at this moment. Lin Qian, Lan Feng, Lin Feng, and Qiuyuan Hao were all geniuses, each more arrogant than the last.
Arrogance without strength is despised, but arrogance with strength is exhilarating. Lin Feng belonged to the latter.
Always low-key, he gradually revealed his strength, step by step. Until now, the martial arts competition stage had no match for him. His arrogance was well-deserved, a true热血男儿 (bloodthirsty man).
"And you, I have no intention of competing with you or blocking your revenge, but your arrogance and repeated humiliation of me, do you really think you are so great?"
Lin Feng's gaze shifted to Qiuyuan Hao, coldly saying, "You said Lan Feng is arrogant and only domineering in a small place like Yangzhou City. What about you? Aren't you also self-centered? Genius? I, a mere chicken and dog, now want to see what kind of genius you are."
As Lin Feng spoke, he took a step forward, his innate awakened martial spirit was released for the first time.
These people seemed to have forgotten that they had all released their martial spirits, but Lin Feng had not!
The world before him turned dark, Lin Feng's pupils became cold and deep, like a bottomless pit, filled with merciless indifference.
Everything around him seemed to slow down. Every movement and every glance of the crowd was clearly imprinted in his mind. If he wished, he could know what everyone was doing.
He could hear his own heartbeat, feel the flow of his blood, and similarly, he could sense every subtle movement of Qiuyuan Hao, including every breath.
Lin Feng couldn't describe the state he was in with words. It was as if, at this moment, he was an omnipotent god, and nothing in the world could escape his eyes or his mind's calculations.
Through the silver mask, Qiuyuan Hao saw the pupils behind Lin Feng's mask and felt a shiver run through his body. He couldn't describe what kind of pupils they were.
At this moment, Qiuyuan Hao inexplicably felt a chill, a bone-chilling cold. He had a strange feeling that there was no one in front of him.
Lin Feng was clearly in front of him, but Qiuyuan Hao couldn't feel Lin Feng's steps or breathing. If he closed his eyes, he wouldn't know that someone was walking towards him.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
The space was deathly quiet, everyone's eyes fixed on Lin Feng, as if the world had only Lin Feng.
Even though Lin Feng's steps made no sound, every step he took made their hearts tremble, as if it was the rhythm of the world.
