Chapter 4

As Lin Feng's words fell, the entire martial arts arena suddenly fell silent.

Lin Feng, challenging Lin Yun on his own initiative?

Even Lin Hai was taken aback, looking at his son with surprise. The elder who had risen from his seat to leave sat back down, watching Lin Feng with interest.

Lin Hao Ran, however, smiled coldly. At this moment, he was seething with anger, never expecting this waste of a person to challenge his son, Lin Yun.

"Lin Yun, accept his challenge," Lin Hao Ran said, his gaze falling on Lin Yun, conveying a deep meaning.

Lin Yun looked at Lin Feng, feeling humiliated. Among the family's younger generation, his talent could only be considered average. Only in front of Lin Feng could he find pride, so he always enjoyed mocking him. But now, this most useless of the family's young, Lin Feng, was actually challenging him, which undoubtedly made Lin Yun lose face.

"If you can withstand my three strikes, I will not attack again," Lin Yun stepped forward, determined to defeat Lin Feng with the harshest means, making him realize how useless he was.

"If you can withstand my one punch, I will admit defeat," Lin Feng shook his head and said calmly. This calm tone instantly darkened Lin Yun's face, as if he really couldn't withstand Lin Feng's punch.

The crowd was also stunned, looking at Lin Feng speechlessly. This guy must be out of his mind to speak such arrogant words.

"A waste of a person, no matter how beautifully he speaks, is still a waste. Only a waste would boast like this," Lin Yun mocked.

Lin Feng smiled. Was he boasting? It seemed he had only said one sentence.

"I'm attacking," Lin Feng didn't want to waste more words. As he spoke, his body moved forward, his fist slowly raised, and then swung at Lin Yun.

"One punch?" A cruel look flashed in Lin Yun's eyes. He didn't retreat, also swinging his fist, determined to show Lin Feng the gap between them.

The air suddenly trembled, and a powerful wave suddenly appeared on Lin Feng's fist, the force of the punch roaring. The crowd saw a wave of force crazily pressing toward Lin Yun.

Martial Technique: Nine Waves!

Lin Yun's face suddenly changed, feeling the immense pressure. But it was too late to retreat. The two fists collided, and Lin Yun felt wave after wave of force pressing through his fist, each wave stronger than the last, with no end in sight.

"Thud!"

A muffled groan, and Lin Yun's body flew out, making everyone's eyes freeze. This scene was eerily similar to the earlier battle between Lin Hai and Lin Ba Dao. Lin Yun, with no resistance, was sent flying with just one punch.

Lin Hao Ran stood up, staring blankly at the fallen Lin Yun.

"How can this be, how can this be..." Lin Yun's eyes were also blank, unable to accept this harsh reality.

The crowd, hearing Lin Yun's cry, suddenly remembered Lin Feng's words: "You keep calling me a waste, I want to ask, if one day you find yourself even more useless than me, how will you face it?" The current reality undoubtedly proved the young man's proud and unyielding words.

"Is this still the Lin family's waste of a son?" Looking at Lin Feng, the crowd suddenly had a thought. To be able to send Lin Yun flying with one punch, he must have at least six thousand pounds of strength.

"You keep calling me a waste, but now you can't even withstand my one punch. What are you then?" Lin Feng looked at the venomous gaze Lin Yun shot him and said sarcastically.

"And you, as an elder, have always called me a waste. Now that your son has been defeated by my one punch, when you call me a waste, aren't you also calling your son a waste?"

Lifting his head, Lin Feng looked at Lin Hao Ran again.

"Is it enough to show off just by being at the Sixth Level of the Qi Martial Realm?" Lin Hao Ran, being scolded by a junior, had an extremely ugly expression.

"It's not showing off, just returning what you and your son have given me." Lin Feng didn't want to say more, turned, and left, saying, "Those who insult others will always be insulted in return."

"Those who insult others will always be insulted in return!" Lin Hai murmured, a glint of sharpness flashing in his smiling eyes. His son had truly changed, able to speak such profound words.

...

Lin Feng returned to his room in the courtyard and resumed his cultivation. Defeating Lin Yun, who was at the Fifth Level of the Qi Martial Realm, was not enough to make him proud. Lin Heng, who had beaten him and thrown him out of the sect, had much stronger talent, being at the Eighth Level of the Qi Martial Realm. There were also Lin Ba Dao's children, whose talents were much stronger than Lin Yun's, especially Lin Ba Dao's daughter, Lin Qian, who was said to have already reached the Ninth Level of the Qi Martial Realm.

There were only three months left until the annual meeting, when all the family's disciples training in the sect would return. If he didn't quickly improve his cultivation, the next one to be humiliated might be him, Lin Feng.

Cultivation knows no time. For martial artists, time passes the fastest during cultivation. For those who can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, going without food for ten days would not be a problem. The essence of heaven and earth is the purest and most refined energy.

After ten days, Lin Feng finally left his room, taking a long breath. In ten days, he had reached the peak of the Sixth Level of the Qi Martial Realm, just one step away from the Seventh Level.

Taking a step, Lin Feng came to his father Lin Hai's room.

"Xiao Feng, isn't it better to cultivate at home? Why do you have to return to the sect?" Lin Hai was somewhat worried when he heard Lin Feng say he wanted to return to the sect. He still harbored resentment over the last incident and couldn't let it go.

"Father, some things are inevitable. If I hide at home and you always protect me, how can I grow and become a martial arts master?" Lin Feng's eyes showed determination. The sect's power was much stronger than the Lin family's. There were powerful cultivation techniques and intense competition there, which would help him grow faster.

Seeing the determination in Lin Feng's eyes, Lin Hai sighed. His son had truly grown up. It was true that staying at home under his protection was the behavior of a coward, and how could one become a martial arts master that way? But as a parent, he was somewhat reluctant.

"Since you are determined to return to the sect, I won't stop you, but you must take care of yourself," Lin Hai nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Father. I will work hard to cultivate and crush them all under my feet," Lin Feng's words were filled with strong confidence. With his dark martial soul, his cultivation speed was many times faster than that of ordinary people, and his comprehension ability had also greatly improved. With a determined heart, he had every reason to believe he would not be inferior to those so-called geniuses.

Lin Feng didn't bring much, just a thousand-mile snow horse, a bag of dry rations, and some silver.

"Father, I'm leaving," outside Yangzhou City, Lin Feng said to his father who had come to see him off.

"Okay, be careful," Lin Hai nodded. Then Lin Feng mounted his horse, and the thousand-mile snow instantly turned into a white cloud, quickly disappearing outside Yangzhou City.

The vast land stretched endlessly. Lin Feng rode his horse, galloping through the sky and earth. Instantly, a sense of heroism welled up in his heart, his ambition soaring.

In his previous life, Lin Feng loved martial arts and yearned to ride a horse and sing, wielding a sword and wandering the rivers and lakes. He never thought that in this life, he would have the chance to do so, riding alone, free and easy in the world.

A pot of turbid wine, a song of sorrow, a life of wild abandon!

Heroes wield their swords and travel the world, their heroism treading blood and dyeing the sky!

This life is destined not to be ordinary, this life is destined to be glorious!
