Chapter 1149 - 1174: Chu Linfeng Takes the Stage
The matches on the arena continued to be intense and fierce. Among the five participants from the Green Frost Sect, two were eliminated, and three directly advanced to the finals. The Holy Sword Sect had two participants, Carefree Palace had one, Blood Evil Hall had one, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion had one, and the rest were from the Hidden Sects.
Everyone considered this result to be normal. The siblings of the Green Frost Sect, Chu Yetian and his sister, were unbeatable figures. As long as they weren’t drawn against each other in the elimination round, it was certain that two from the Green Frost Sect would make it to the finals.
Surprisingly, the elimination rounds were completed in just one hour. Originally thought to last much longer, the rapid pace led to the decision to move the finals to tomorrow.
"Young master, if you had competed, you would definitely have entered the top three. I believe you have that strength, it’s a pity you missed this opportunity," Zhou Dalong said to Chu Lin at this moment.
"What’s third place? If I’m going to compete, I’ll go for first place. That’s what I aim for. Anyway, these people are no match for me. Competing would be boring, better not to participate at all," Lin Feng smiled.
Though he didn’t raise his voice, many heard him. Everyone glanced at him, thinking this ignorant kid dared to boast such words without knowing his limits.
Lin Feng’s voice was naturally heard by Xiao Qiang and a few on the VIP platform. They looked towards Lin Feng, but he stood comfortably on the stands. Now with his disguise, they couldn’t identify his true identity.
Xiao Qiang displayed a hint of anger on his face and said, "This martial arts tournament is about fairness. If anyone has any disagreements, feel free to challenge. Although the ten outstanding disciples in the arena have used up some Star Power in battle, they are the top talents of the Divine Land Continent and won’t mind such consumption. If you lack the courage to step up, don’t disrupt the match’s atmosphere with idle talk."
It was clear Xiao Qiang’s words were directed at what Lin Feng just said. Everyone’s eyes were on Lin Feng. He didn’t mind these looks, but next to him, Zhou Dalong and his brothers were getting a bit restless as he’d provoked public anger.
"Young master, why not step onto the arena and have a match? I believe with your strength, you’ll definitely make it to the top three, and let these people know your prowess," Zhou Dalong suggested.
"Really want to compete? I’m afraid if I win first place immediately, it’ll be like a hollow victory!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, the entire audience was shocked. Such arrogance was rarely seen here, besides the first master of the Green Frost Sect, Lin Feng himself. No one else dared to speak such words in this arena filled with elites.
"Who is that kid? Why does he seem so familiar!" Sima Jingyi was the first to say.
"I feel familiar too, but can’t recall at the moment. If Lin Feng hadn’t ascended, I’d really think it’s him in disguise," Qing Ruming said.
"You think about him too much. Who knows how Lin Feng is doing in the Immortal Realm now. After this tournament, we should retreat again and aim to ascend sooner," Ye Suping said.
Discussion started in the crowd, getting louder than during the matches, adding a special feel to the tournament.
At this moment, Chu Yetian looked at Lin Feng from afar and said, "That fellow there since you think you’re very powerful and could defeat us, how about coming up for a match? Why distract everyone with idle talk?"
"Young master, go on, we believe you can do it!" said Zhou Dalong.
Lin Feng smiled: "Since that’s the case, I’ll play along with you all!" With a thought, he quickly flew onto the arena. Though many could achieve such a move.
At this close range, Xiao Qiang scrutinized Lin Feng but couldn’t ascertain his strength, which puzzled him, though he did not show it.
"Who are you? If you’re challenging them, at least let us know your name!" Xiao Qiang asked.
"I’m just a nobody, telling you my name won’t matter. Today I just want to see how strong the outstanding disciples of the Divine Land Continent are. I hope they don’t disappoint," said Lin Feng indifferently, altering his voice deliberately to avoid detection.
At this moment, Meng Ji stared at Lin Feng without blinking. She noticed that his silhouette perfectly matched Lin Feng, her heart racing with an indescribable feeling as if Lin Feng had returned.
Lin Feng’s words sparked discontent among the audience, especially among two youths from the Hidden Sects who were dismissive of Lin Feng. One said, "A nobody has the nerve to challenge us here. Let me get rid of you from this arena today."
Lin Feng glanced at the youth. Though the youth at the Fifth Layer of Saint Martial Realm was a talent, in Lin Feng’s eyes, he was insignificant.
"If you want to defeat me, let’s see if you have the skill. Go ahead, use your strongest abilities; you only have one chance," Lin Feng said calmly.
This arrogance best displayed Lin Feng’s personality. The youth was angry and wielded a dark green long sword, saying, "Kid, you dare look down on me. Today, I’ll show you my power."
"The louder someone boasts, the more worthless they are!" Lin Feng remarked again, further fueling the crowd’s anger.
Raising his long sword, the youth struck towards Lin Feng, a two-meter Sword Aura erupting from the blade. Its power was formidable enough to slice through someone on impact.
However, Lin Feng didn’t even glance at him; instead, he looked at Chu Chenlin, wondering her reaction. Chu Chenlin’s face showed no expression, indifferent to the attack on Lin Feng.
As the youth’s sword approached Lin Feng, the spectators were shocked because Lin Feng neither drew a weapon nor attempted to evade, seemingly ready to withstand the blow directly.
"Is this kid crazy, going up there to get killed? Can he withstand such a powerful strike? Even a huge rock would be smashed!" someone muttered in the crowd.
Ye Suping, Meng Ji, and others were also slightly changed in expression, puzzled by the stranger’s actions. Even next to Lin Feng, Xiao Qiang showed a surprised look.
Just as everyone believed the stranger would likely be severely injured or killed by that sword, something astonishing happened...
PS: When the support is enthusiastic, updates will be fierce...
