Amazing battle（1）

"How will you proceed?" The Second Elder's voice trembled slightly, his gaze wary as he looked at Lin Hai.

The crowd had just been shocked by Lin Feng's strength and now realized that Lin Hai had silently arrived on the stage, his target being the Second Elder.

"How will I proceed? Have you forgotten what you agreed to just now?" Lin Hai sneered.

"Brother, Lin Ye is, after all, the Second Elder of our Lin family, who has worked hard and made great contributions. Let's forgive him this time." Lin Badao spoke loudly.

"Forgive? Lin Badao, don't you find your words ridiculous? Just now, you all targeted me and my son, Lin Feng. Have you ever thought about how much I, Lin Hai, have done for the family? Could it be that you want to go back on your word in front of the Lin family's descendants?" Lin Hai's voice was harsh, and Lin Badao's face turned ugly. Everyone had witnessed what had just happened, and he had no reason to go back on his word, which would only damage his reputation.

"From now on, I declare the abolition of the position of Second Elder Lin Ye, and also, accept my palm." Lin Hai no longer looked at Lin Badao.

"Never!" Lin Ye's body trembled, as if he wanted to escape.

"Hmph." Lin Hai's hands trembled, and the entire space seemed to pause for a moment. A cracking sound was heard as Lin Ye's fleeing body stiffened slightly, the coldness penetrating to the bone, almost freezing his body and affecting his movements.

"Boom!" The palm imprint of cold ice directly printed on Lin Ye's body, freezing his body, even the blood oozing from his mouth was frozen. He fell to the ground, his body curled up, trembling, only his malicious eyes staring at Lin Hai.

Lin Ye's cultivation was not weak, and he should not have been defeated so thoroughly. However, he did not dare to fight Lin Hai at all, offering his back to him, seeking death.

Many people's eyes were fixed on this scene. They had not expected Lin Hai to be so heavy-handed. It seemed that their clan leader was truly angry today, aiming to intimidate and clip the wings of Lin Badao and others.

"Take him away. The annual meeting will continue, presided over by the Sixth Elder. If anyone disagrees, speak now." Lin Hai flicked his sleeve, his authority as clan leader unquestionable.

Lin Feng saw his father's dominance with a hint of a smile. This was the world where the strong were respected. Lin Hai had not competed before, but that did not mean he had no strength to compete; he simply did not want to.

No one dared to question it. Although Lin Badao and the Patriarch were angry, they could only endure it.

The battles continued. The group where Lin Feng was located seemed to be the weakest. It appeared that only Lin Yu had reached the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm, while the others were at most at the seventh level. After six battles, Lin Feng, who had been regarded as useless by everyone, had actually won every match. In the fourth group, only he and Lin Yu had done so, thus the qualifiers from the four groups were almost determined: Lin Feng and Lin Yu.

As for the first three groups, Lin Qian had not even made a move in the first group, as all her opponents had surrendered, preserving her strength for another opportunity. Lin Hong from the second group and Lin Wu from the third group, as seeds, also had no surprises, winning all their matches. In addition, there was one person whose strength exceeded everyone's expectations, that was the son of the Sixth Elder, Lin Hen. He had been steady in every battle, undefeated. Of course, he had not yet encountered Lin Wu.

Finally, although the battles were not over, the qualifiers had been locked in. The first two groups had even completed all their battles. The third and fourth groups were still missing the final match.

"In the third group, Lin Wu against Lin Hen. In the fourth group, Lin Feng against Lin Yu." With the announcement by the Sixth Elder, the crowd became interested once again. These four people were all undefeated. They wanted to see how strong Lin Hen really was and whether Lin Feng could defeat Lin Yu, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm.

However, most people did not have much hope for Lin Hen and Lin Feng. Lin Wu had always been very strong, one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation, while Lin Feng, although surprising, had only just broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Martial Realm three months ago. Even if he had undergone a transformation, he was at most at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm now, or had just broken through to the eighth level. How could he surpass Lin Yu, who had long been at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm?

The four stepped onto the stage, but Lin Hen simply arched his hand towards Lin Wu and said, "We have both advanced, so there is no need for this battle."

"Although the spots are already determined, I still want to fight. Let everyone see who is the strongest in the third group." Lin Wu shook his head, his words resolute.

"I surrender." Lin Hen smiled, seemingly indifferent, then turned and walked away from the stage.

"Lin Wu wins." The Sixth Elder smiled bitterly, announcing his own son's defeat.

"Coward." Lin Wu cursed, then turned and left. Only Lin Feng and Lin Yu remained on the stage.

"Hehe, we finally get to see Lin Yu and this waste. I hope Lin Yu can teach him a lesson." Lin Badao's voice was cold, thinking that Lin Feng would be defeated in the second round, but he had not expected this waste to be quite strong. Moreover, he was placed in the fourth group, almost achieving a perfect victory.

"Don't worry, Yu'er knows what to do. He will definitely make that waste look good." The Third Elder smiled confidently, still very confident in his son's strength. The top three might be a bit difficult, but the hope of competing for the top five was there.

"Let's wait and see." Lin Badao nodded.

The palm print on Lin Yu's face had long since disappeared, but the imprint on his heart remained. He could not forget Lin Feng's slap. He hated Lin Feng to the core, but at the same time, he feared him. This former waste young master now carried a mysterious aura, his strength no weaker than his, throwing Lin Yun off the building, and Lin Yan, proud of his swordsmanship, was like a child playing with toys in front of Lin Feng. This made Lin Yu have no confidence in defeating Lin Feng.

Feeling the eyes of the audience, the lines on Lin Yu's face twitched and trembled. He knew that at this moment, many 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 have both advanced, why fight?" Lin Yu's voice was very soft.

Lin Feng looked at Lin Yu with a smile that was not a smile, remaining silent.

"Damn it." Lin Yu cursed inwardly, took a long breath, and helplessly said, "I surrender."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Lin

 Yu's words, the Third Elder and the others were stunned, as was the crowd. Lin Yu, he surrendered?

Just when everyone was expecting to see Lin Feng's true strength, Lin Yu, like Lin Hen, chose to withdraw without a fight.

"What's going on?" Lin Badao's face turned ugly.

"Perhaps Xiao Yu wants to humiliate him in the final." The Third Elder explained, but even he himself did not believe it.

The second round ended, and the qualifiers were Lin Qian, Lin Hong, Lin Feng, Lin Yu, Lin Wu, Lin Hen, Lin Ying, and Lin Li.

In the third round, also the final, they would pair off in twos, eliminating four of them.

Lin Ying and Lin Li's eyes were both on Lin Feng. They prayed in their hearts that they would face Lin Feng, so they could have a chance to advance further into the top four.

"The first match, Lin Qian against Lin Ying." As the Second Elder's voice fell, Lin Ying's face instantly turned pale. She had encountered the worst situation.

"Lin Qian, although I am not your opponent, at this stage, I still want to fight, hoping you can show me your strength." With no other choice, Lin Ying had no choice but to fight. People nodded secretly, knowing that she would definitely lose, but she was willing to fight, even though she knew she would lose.

"I will." Lin Qian said coldly, her proud eyes not even looking at Lin Ying.

"I'm attacking." Lin Ying shouted and attacked Lin Qian, not even using her martial soul. Since she was doomed to lose, she just wanted to see how strong the Spiritual Martial Realm was.

"Ice." Lin Qian shouted, and Lin Ying's hand became dull before it even touched Lin Qian, feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.

As Lin Qian's delicate hand fell on Lin Ying, her body instantly covered in a layer of ice, white frost spreading all over her body.

"Defeated." Lin Qian's palm trembled on Lin Ying's body, and Lin Ying lay down, shaking all over, similar to the Second Elder just now.

"So strong, this is the power of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Fortunately, I didn't have to face Lin Qian." Others sighed with relief, feeling sorry for Lin Ying.

"The first match, Lin Qian wins. The second match, Lin Hong against Lin Yu." The Second Elder announced.

"I surrender." Lin Yu smiled bitterly. He naturally would not go up against Lin Hong. He had not expected to surrender twice in a row and be eliminated.

"The second match, Lin Hong wins. The third match, Lin Feng against Lin Li."

"Phew... good." Lin Li's face broke into a smile. Lin Li was also at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm. Against the other seven, she could not be sure of a stable victory, but against Lin Feng, she believed she could.
