"It would appear that when Lin Feihong provoked Lin Feitian earlier, and even deliberately humiliated him, he was simply targeting and probing me."
Suddenly, Luo Zheng came to a realization. Given the various fortuitous encounters that Lin Feihong had obtained, it was impossible for him to care about Lin Feitian, much less place him in his eyes.
After all, the Third Elder was a terrifying figure with a tyrannical cultivation base.
However, Lin Feihong did not need to be courteous in front of such an elder. In fact, he even vaguely felt superior.
Even if such a person had stolen Lin Fei Tian's Providence, he would not care if Lin Fei Tian wanted to seek revenge. He did not even need to suppress Lin Fei Tian.
If Lin Fei Tian made a move, Lin Feihong would not even need to make a move. The other members of the Lin Clan would make a move.
Therefore, it was obvious Lin Feihong had been targeting Luo Zheng since the beginning. 'This Lin Feihong is really interesting. He seems domineering and arrogant, but he's actually a schemer who's good at disguising himself!'
'Interesting, interesting!'
'It seems like the Great Silence Realm is more interesting than I thought. I can't believe I've met such a powerful genius in a small clan!'
Luo Zheng thought to himself, 'Although Lin Yuan Ji was plotted against by the Heaven-Devouring King Dragon's will, he still obtained strength comparable to a peerless genius in a Realm of Gods.
Lin Feihong, on the other hand, was most likely a true genius.
I wonder how many powerhouses there are in the Great Silence Sect. '
However, he could sense that he might encounter some unexpected challenges in the Great Silence Plane.
Although the Lin Clan occupied a sizable world in the Great Silence Realm, it was not considered a large clan.
At most, it could be considered a mid-tier clan.
Moreover, there was only one mid-tier figure in the Great Silence Sect in the clan.
Based on what Luo Zheng had learned over the past few days, the true large clans in the Great Silence Realm had strength equivalent to the Ten Great Ancient Clans in the Realms of Gods.
They occupied hundreds or thousands of worlds and even controlled an entire Stellar Region.
It could be said that his battle with Lin Yuanji had made him somewhat eager.
After all, it had been a long time since he had met a worthy opponent in the Realms of Gods. He had easily defeated many Profound Transformation Stage geniuses, let alone Undying Stage geniuses.
Two days later, Luo Zheng began his ninth match. This time, Lin Feihong didn't use any tricks. His opponent wasn't very strong, even weaker than Lin Feitian.
In just a few days, all nine rounds of the competition had ended. A total of 320 people had entered the tenth round.
Everyone had also obtained ten days of rest and could leave the competition venue.
After all, the further they went, the stronger their opponents would be. It was impossible for them to fight continuously.
However, everyone knew that the upcoming battle would be the most intense.
Among the ten billion Lin clansmen, there were tens of millions who had reached the age and cultivation level to participate in the competition. However, there were only a few hundred thousand who dared to sign up for the competition.
Now, there were only 320 people who had won nine matches in a row. This was enough to prove that these people were true geniuses. No one dared to take them lightly.
Moreover, in the previous matches, Lin Yuanji and Lin Zheng, two unknown geniuses, had stood out. Who could be sure that they were geniuses who hadn't obtained a fortuitous encounter and were hiding their strength?
Luo Zheng also knew that Lin Feihong didn't do anything in these two rounds because he knew that ordinary Lin Clan disciples wouldn't be able to cause him any trouble. That was why he had stopped.
"I wonder if Lin Feihong will make a move against me in the tenth round?"
Luo Zheng thought to himself. He left the competition venue with Ye Zhijian and Lin Feitian and returned to the inn.
The next day, the list of 320 people who had entered the tenth round spread throughout the Lin Clan City.
After receiving the list of 320 people, many people began to discuss it.
Very quickly, many people discovered that two people from Lin Feitian's branch had entered the tenth round! One had to know that within the Lin Clan, there were hundreds of branches. However, not all of them had people who could enter the tenth round.
In fact, there weren't many branches that had more than two people entering the tenth round.
"Lin Jian is actually from Lin Feitian's branch!"
"Who would have thought that Lin Tianfei's branch would have two geniuses!"
"Geniuses my ass. Lin Zheng might be one, but Lin Jian has never defeated any real experts. He only entered the tenth round due to pure luck!"
"Humph humph, entering the top 320 in a competition of over a hundred thousand people is nothing but dog shit luck when it comes to you. Why don't you try?"
"In any case, I've already said it. Lin Jian is definitely going to lose in the next round!"
"That's true. Whoever meets Lin Jian in the next round will definitely win!"
In a short period of time, many people were discussing Ye Zhijian. The Lin Clan disciples who had entered the tenth round also hoped to meet him.
Lin Feitian was even more respectful towards Luo Zheng and Lin Jian. After all, having two people from their branch enter the tenth round was an incomparably glorious matter.
He would also frequently go around the Clan City to gather information and inform Luo Zheng and Ye Zhijian of some of his opponents.
"Brother Jian, you have to be careful in the next round. Many people have already set you as their target."
On this day, Lin Feitian found the two of them and said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, my brother's strength is above mine. Even if I lose, he won't lose!"
Luo Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lin Feitian's nervous expression. How could a Half-step Divine King lose?
The entire Lin Clan's strength wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from him.
"So Brother Jian's strength is so tyrannical. I'm relieved!"
Lin Feitian was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Following Luo Zheng and Ye Zhijian's continuous victories, Lin Feitian's status in the Lin Clan City had become higher and higher.
After all, he was the Branch Master of this branch. Moreover, Luo Zheng's performance made many people believe that their branch had great hopes of re-entering the clan.
Apart from Ye Zhijian, Luo Zheng and Ye Feihong were the hot favorites to obtain the Great Solitary Sect's Trial Quota.
Almost everyone believed that as long as the two of them didn't meet in advance, they would definitely obtain the two quotas.
Therefore, Luo Zheng was also the most talked about person. In the past few days, there had been an endless stream of people coming to seek an audience with him. There were even some people from other clans who came to ask Luo Zheng to join them, offering all kinds of conditions.
However, they were all rejected by Luo Zheng. He refused to see anyone.
"Lin Feitian, Great Elder Lin Zhong has asked me to bring Lin Zheng and Lin Jian to the Clan Estate!"
On this day, there was still one day before the tenth round of the competition. Someone came to the residence of the three and transmitted a message.
