Whose stage

Lin Hai's expression was not very good. Lin Feng's performance today had far exceeded his expectations. He felt relieved, but Lin Ba Dao daring to speak up must not be without certainty. Even if Lin Feng could confront Lin Hong, what about the next round against Lin Qian? Lin Ba Dao intended to put Lin Feng in a difficult position.

"How is it that I, as the head of the Lin family, lack even this bit of courage, making it impossible for our younger generation to perform?" Lin Ba Dao saw Lin Hai's silence and continued to press on.

"Father, please agree."

Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. There was no enmity between him and the Lin Ba Dao family, and they could even be considered close relatives. However, the Lin Ba Dao family had been plotting against his father's position as clan leader, wanting his life. Since this was the case, you are unjust, and I have no need to hesitate; I will fight.

Lin Hai looked at Lin Feng, his gaze clean and confident. His lips moved slightly, uttering a single word, "Good."

"Good, Clan Leader is truly worthy of being the head of our Lin family, courageous. Since the Clan Leader has agreed, let's begin. Elder Six, let Lin Qian and Lin Hen fight first." Lin Ba Dao appeared spirited and decisive. Since Lin Hai had nodded, he was looking forward to the climax of the show.

"Elder Six, let Lin Qian and Lin Hen fight first." Lin Ba Dao appeared spirited and decisive. Since Lin Hai had nodded, he was looking forward to the climax of the show.

"Uh-huh," Elder Six nodded in agreement.

"Surrender, you are not my match." Lin Qian stepped onto the stage, her robe like a phoenix tail, arrogantly domineering.

"Even if I'm not your match, I must fight." Lin Hen's fighting spirit burned, releasing his Flame Martial Soul, making the air restless.

"Your martial soul has also undergone its Awakened Awakening, which is not bad. Unfortunately, it is still just a Flame Martial Soul, without any mutations during the awakening. You will not have any chance." Lin Qian's voice was cold and indifferent. The first hurdle of martial cultivation is to advance to the Spirit Martial Realm. During the advancement, the martial soul undergoes its Awakened Awakening. In the awakening process, very few martial souls will undergo mutations, becoming stronger than before.

After Lin Qian's martial soul underwent its Awakened Awakening, its mutation became even stronger, becoming the Ice-Fire Dual Martial Soul.

The illusion of the Ice-Fire Dual Martial Soul bloomed behind Lin Qian, with flames burning amidst the ice, and the blazing flames were covered with white frost, dazzling and extremely bizarre. The space alternated between restlessness and freezing, extremely eerie.

"I've heard that Lin Qian's martial soul underwent its Awakened Awakening, becoming the Ice-Fire Dual Martial Soul. It seems true. She is truly the top genius of our Lin family, far surpassing the waste Lin Feng."

"That's right, no wonder so many elders clearly support Lin Qian. The Ice-Fire Dual Martial Soul not only has an advantage in martial soul, but in the future, she can also cultivate both ice and fire elemental techniques and martial arts. She will definitely become a strong force in the future."

Listening to the whispers below, Lin Ba Dao's smile became even stronger, and the faces of the elders beside him improved as well.

"Ice and snow."

Lin Qian spoke indifferently, and the world became icy cold, with white mist rising as if it were about to snow.

Ice has a certain restraining effect on fire, so Lin Qian first used an Ice-type martial technique.

"Lava Palm." Lin Hen shouted loudly, his palm forceful as it cleaved forward, with a hidden flame burning within.

"Weak Water Freezing." Lin Qian faced it calmly, her icy palm clashing with Lin Hen's, a crisp sound ringing out as Lin Hen's hand was instantly covered in a layer of frost.

"Ignite." She breathed out coldly, the ice palm turning into a mist, and Lin Hen felt a pain in his palm that he couldn't describe. He burst out yelling, then flew back, a blackened mass of flesh and blood on his palm.

"Lin Hen." Elder Six exclaimed in alarm.

"I'm fine." Lin Hen gritted his teeth, his teeth making a grinding sound. One can imagine the intense pain he was enduring.

"I will still challenge you." Lin Hen glanced at Lin Qian and then turned to leave, leaving Elder Six sighing in his heart. His son, Lin Hen, although not very talented, was determined. If he had the chance, he would surely become a great talent.

"You can never defeat me." Lin Qian said proudly. Her future achievements are incomparable to anyone in the Lin family. No one can surpass her.

"Ice-Fire Dual Martial Soul, using two opposing forces in an instant, increases power several times over." Lin Hai frowned. The stronger Lin Qian became, the more dangerous Lin Feng would be.

"It's your turn." Lin Qian sneered at Lin Feng and then stepped down from the stage.

Lin Feng looked up at the sky. The scorching sun was already nearing its zenith, under a clear sky.

Lifting his feet, Lin Feng slowly walked onto the stage, where Lin Hong was already waiting for him.

"I and Lin Qian have been waiting for this battle for a long time." Lin Hong remained as calm as ever, looking at Lin Feng.

"I know." Lin Feng nodded.

"You don't need to harbor any illusions; you will not have any chance, whether against me or Lin Qian, you will undoubtedly lose."

Lin Feng smiled. At this moment, Lin Hong exuded a certain quality, a confident one. In his eyes, Lin Feng was not worth mentioning.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Hong's tone was cold. "Do you think that by defeating Lin Wu, you qualify to fight me? Let me tell you, your idea is so naive."

"Why don't you just say that you've also reached the Spirit Martial Realm? Why bother saying so much nonsense to show off?" Lin Feng mocked. He had forced Lin Wu to retreat without a fight, making him leave in disgrace. If Lin Hong had not reached the Spirit Martial Realm, would he have such confidence?

Sure enough, Lin Hong's face froze when he heard Lin Feng's words.

"Even if I know, so what? You're still going to die." Lin Hong's face turned cold, and an Ice and Snow Martial Soul appeared behind him. The chill emanating from him was not weaker than that of Lin Qian's, and even exceeded it.

"Spirit Martial Realm, Lin Hong is also a strongman of the Spirit Martial Realm. He hides it so well." The crowd exclaimed.

"No wonder he has the wildness to dominate the Lin family. His children are too talented, all at the Spirit Martial Realm. If they grow up, our Lin family will surely rise. It seems that the position of clan leader should indeed be changed." Many wavering members of the Lin family were also shaken, thinking that Lin Ba Dao should become the clan leader to make the Lin family rise and become the strongest force in Yangzhou City.

"Today's annual meeting is destined to be the stage for me and Lin Qian. You are just a pitiful foil, not worth a strike." Lin Hong's dominance was revealed, tearing apart his gentle disguise and revealing his fangs.

The cold breath spread around, and the Snow Shadow Villa, which only accepted owners of Ice and Snow Martial Souls, had very strong Ice and Snow techniques and martial skills. When Lin Hong walked out of the Snow Shadow Villa, the chill emanating from him was not weaker than Lin Qian's, and even exceeded it.

Soon, a faint layer of white frost appeared on Lin Feng's body. Before the battle even began, Lin Hong was already able to affect Lin Feng.

"Thunderous Sword Technique." Lin Feng took the initiative, the thunderous sound bursting forth, attracting the attention of the crowd. They saw the sword light on the stage and realized that today, Lin Feng could also shine, but there were even stronger people present—Lin Qian, Lin Hong, and Lin Hen, all of them were Spirit Martial Realm powerhouses.

Lin Hong paid no attention, casually clapping his hands forward. The icy breath rushed toward Lin Feng, and at the same time, a white frost covered the long sword.

"Thunderous Sword." Lin Feng's movements were agile, his wrist flicking, shaking off the ice and snow from the sword, and the long sword thrust forward like a broken bamboo.

"Hmph." Lin Hong coldly snorted, clapping his hand directly towards the long sword, not avoiding it at all. A tyrannical icy Qi burst forth, causing the sword tip to tremble slightly, halting its advance.

"Spirit Martial Realm experts have strong Qi. Externalizing their Qi is indeed much stronger than those in the Martial Qi Realm." Lin Feng felt the powerful force coming from the sword, and thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Nine Waves." The long sword retracted, and his left hand struck out, a surging wave roaring.

"Hmm?" Lin Hong raised his eyebrows, surprised that Lin Feng could use two martial skills with his left hand at the same time. This was extremely difficult to control, but Lin Feng managed to control it perfectly.

"Get lost." Lin Hong burst out, with his cultivation in the Spirit Martial Realm, he was not in a dominant position. Ice and snow flew, frost raged, and the waves could not continue to attack.

"Sword Roar Thunder Sound." Lin Feng remained as steady as Mount Tai, thunderous roars resounded, the sword like a poisonous dragon.

"Good." Lin Hai lowly exclaimed. This was Lin Feng's true strength, his body and martial skills were superb, fast, accurate, and fierce.

Forced to retreat by a step, Lin Hong's face was ugly. Although he had only retreated one step, as a Spirit Martial Realm powerhouse, he had been extremely arrogant just now, saying that Lin Feng was not even worth a strike, but now he was forced to retreat by Lin Feng, naturally his face was pale, extremely ironic.
