"What do you want?" The Second Elder's voice trembled slightly as he gazed at Lin Hai with a vigilant look.
The crowd was shocked by Lin Feng's strength just now, and only then did they discover that Lin Hai had already come to the battlefield without knowing it. The target was the Second Elder.
"How am I supposed to? Are you going to forget what just happened when you nodded?" Lin Hai sneered.
"Lao Er, after all, forestry is our Lin family's second eldest, laborious and meritorious. This time, just forgive him." Lin Ba said loudly.
"Forgiveness? Lin Badao, don't you think your words are ridiculous? Just now, all of you were targeting me and my son Lin Feng. Have you ever thought about how much I, Lin Hai, have done for the family? Are you trying to go back on your word in front of all the Lin family's children?"
Lin Hai shouted loudly, Lin Ba Dao's face looked ugly, what had just happened was clear to everyone, he wanted to take it back but had no reason to do so, and would only lose face.
"From now on, I declare that the position of Forestry's Two Elders is abolished. Moreover, take my slap!" Lin Hai no longer looked at Lin Ba Dao.
"Don't even think about it." Lin Ye's body trembled, and he actually wanted to escape.
"Hmm." Lin Hai's hands trembled, and the entire space paused for a moment. A cracking sound echoed out, and Lin Ye's escaping body was slightly stiffened, cold to the bone, almost freezing his body, affecting his movements.
"Hum!" The icy palm print was directly imprinted on Lin Ye's body, and his body came to a halt. His entire body was covered in a layer of frost, even the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth was frozen. He fell to the ground, his body curled up and trembling violently, but those venomous eyes were fixed intently on Lin Hai.
Lin's martial arts skills were not weak, and he shouldn't have lost so thoroughly, but he didn't even dare to fight Lin Hai one-on-one, instead turning his back on him - wasn't that just asking for death?
Many people's eyes were fixed on them, they didn't expect Lin Hai to strike so heavily. It seems that their clan leader is truly angry today, shaking the mountain and stunning the tiger, cutting off the wings of Lin Ba Dao and others.
"Bring people to carry him away. The annual meeting will continue, presided over by the six elders. Whoever disobeys, speak." Lin Hai shook his sleeves, and the dignity of the clan leader was evident without a doubt.
Lin Feng saw his father's overbearing expression reveal a hint of a smile, this was the world where the strong were respected. Lin Hai had not competed before, but that didn't mean he didn't have the ability to compete, it just meant he wasn't willing to.
No one dared to question him, Lin Ba Dao and the Great Elder were furious but could only endure it.
The battle continued, and the group where Lin Feng was in was the weakest. It seemed that only Lin Yu had reached the 8th level of Qi Refining Realm, while the others were at most at the 7th level. After six battles, Lin Feng, who had been considered a waste by everyone, surprisingly remained undefeated. Only he and Lin Yu made it to the fourth group, so the four people advancing were almost certain: Lin Feng and Lin Yu.
As for the first three groups, Lin Xuan did not make a move in the first group, and all his opponents conceded to preserve their strength and compete for another spot. In the second group, Lin Hong and in the third group, Lin Wu, as seeds, also won without any losses, which was expected. However, there is one person whose strength exceeded everyone's expectations, that is Lin Hen, the son of the Sixth Elder, who has been very stable in every battle, winning all his matches so far, although he has not yet met Lin Wu.
Finally, although the battle is not over, the promotion quota has been locked in. The first two groups have already completed all their battles, while the third and fourth groups still need to play one more match.
"The third match, Lin Wu versus Lin Hen. The fourth match, Lin Feng versus Lin Yu." As the Sixth Elder announced this, the crowd's interest was piqued once again. These four were all undefeated, and they wanted to see just how strong Lin Hen really was, while Lin Feng would be able to defeat Lin Yu, who had reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.
However, everyone didn't think much of Lin Heng and Lin Feng. Lin Wu's strength had always been strong, a young generation leader, while Lin Feng was unexpected, but after all, he had only just broken through the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm three months ago. Even if he underwent a transformation, now at most he would be at the seventh or eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, how could he possibly defeat Lin Yu who had already entered the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm?
Four people walked onto the battlefield, but Lin Heng simply cupped his hands towards Lin Wu and said: "You and I have already advanced, this battle is unnecessary."
"Although the quota has been determined, I, Lin Wu, will not give up this battle. Let everyone see who is the strongest in Group C." Lin Wu said loudly with a shake of his head.
"I give up." Lin Heng smiled slightly, seemingly unbothered, and promptly walked down from the battle stage.
"Lin Wusheng." The Sixth Elder sighed and announced his own son's defeat.
"Coward." Lin Wu cursed and immediately turned around and left, leaving only Lin Feng and Lin Yu on the battlefield.
"Haha, finally waited for Lin Yu and this waste, hope Lin Yu can severely teach him a lesson." Lin Ba Dao's voice was cold, he thought that in the second round Lin Feng would be abused, but didn't expect this waste to have a strong cultivation, and was also divided into the fourth group, almost winning with a perfect score.
"Don't worry, Yu'er has a plan in mind and will definitely make that waste look good." The Third Elder smiled confidently, he was still very confident in his son's cultivation. The top three might be a bit difficult, but competing for the top five is possible.
"I'm looking forward to it." Lin Ba said with a nod.
Lin Yu's face no longer bore the palm print, but the mark in his heart remained. He couldn't forget Lin Feng's slap, and he hated Lin Feng deeply, yet at the same time, he also feared him. This former useless young master now exuded an air of mystery, and his actual strength was not inferior to Lin Yu's. Lin Feng had directly thrown him off the wine tower, and Lin Yan prided himself on his swordsmanship, but in front of Lin Feng, his sword seemed like a toy. This made Lin Yu lose all confidence that he could surpass Lin Feng.
Feeling the gaze of the entire audience, Lin Yu's facial muscles twitched, he knew that at this moment, countless people were waiting for him to teach Lin Feng a lesson, including his father, but could he really teach Lin Feng a lesson?
"Since we've both advanced, how can we not fight?" Lin Yu said in a very soft voice.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Yu with a seemingly smiling yet not smiling expression, remaining silent.
"Bastard." Lin Yu cursed in his heart, let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I give up."
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yu's words, San Lao and others were stunned, the crowd was also stunned. Lin Yu, did he admit defeat?
Just when everyone was expecting to see Lin Feng's true strength, Lin Yu unexpectedly chose to retreat without a fight, just like Lin Hen.
"What's going on?" Lin Ba Dao's face looked unpleasant.
"Perhaps Xiao Yu wants to humiliate him in the final match." The Third Elder explained, but he himself didn't believe it.
The second round ended, and the promoted players were Lin Xuan, Lin Hong, Lin Feng, Lin Yu, Lin Wu, Lin Hen, Lin Ying, and Lin Li.
The third round, also the final, first two pairs of matches, eliminating four people.
Lin Ying and Lin Li's eyes fell on Lin Feng, they prayed in their hearts, hoping to meet Lin Feng next, so that they could luckily advance further and enter the top four.
"The first match, Lin Xuan against Lin Ying." As soon as the Second Elder's voice fell, Lin Ying's face turned white instantly, and she had encountered the worst situation.
"Lin Xuan, although I'm not your match, but having come this far, I still want to have a battle with you. I hope you can let me witness your true strength." With no other choice, Lin Ying could only agree to the battle, and everyone nodded in secret, knowing they would surely lose but unwilling to give up without a fight.
"I will," Lin Xuan said indifferently, her proud eyes not even giving Lin Ying a glance.
"I'm making a move." Lin Ying shouted, attacking Lin Xue without even using her martial soul. She was bound to lose anyway, she just wanted to see how strong the Spiritual Martial Realm was.
"Ice." Lin Xuan shouted, and before Lin Ying's hand even touched Lin Xuan, it suddenly became numb, feeling as heavy as a thousand catties.
The moment Lin Xuan's slender small hand landed on Lin Ying's body, a layer of frost instantly attached to Lin Ying's body, and white frost spread all over her.
"Defeated." Lin Xuan's palm shook on Lin Ying's body, and Lin Ying's body fell directly to the ground, constantly trembling, with a few similarities to the Second Elder just now.
"So powerful, this is the might of Lingwu Realm. Fortunately, I don't have to face Lin Xuan." Others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt some sympathy for Lin Ying.
"In the first match, Lin Xuan wins; in the second match, Lin Hong will compete against Lin Yu." The Second Elder announced.
"I give up." Lin Yu smiled bitterly. He naturally wouldn't go and fight with Lin Hong, but he didn't expect to lose twice in a row and be eliminated.
"In the second match, Lin Hongsheng; in the third match, Lin Feng vs Lin Li."
"Hmm... good." Lin Li's face broke into a smile, Lin Li was also at the 8th level of Qi Wu realm cultivation, and couldn't guarantee a win against any of the other seven people, except for Lin Feng, of course, that was just what he thought.
