No one could have expected such an outcome.
A huge reversal!!
The field was silent. Everyone stared at the big screen in the sky, unable to react. As soon as Lin Feng got the ridiculous score of 36 points, the crowd had already lost confidence in him. They even listed him as the first participant to be eliminated.
Who would have thought …
Lin Feng would actually catch up at the end!
Unimaginable!
Huang Nu Feng opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what had happened.
At this moment —
"Hua! ~" Lin Feng's figure walked out of the fire-controlling space.
"Huh?" Feeling a different atmosphere, Lin Feng felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him. Lin Feng was slightly surprised. Just now, the fire-controlling space test was suddenly interrupted, as if the time limit was up and it was forcibly terminated.
What happened?
Lin Feng was curious. Then, he raised his head with a thought.
The flashing light on the big screen was clearly visible, but it was extremely shocking.
"7500 points, tenth place?"
"I caught up?"
Looking at his name on the big screen in the sky, clearly in the tenth place, even Lin Feng himself felt incredulous.
"I actually got a result?" Lin Feng's eyes shone with surprise. He thought that he wouldn't get a result this time, but the number of 7500 points didn't lie. In the fire-controlling space, he got 3500 points. Although the test was stopped, the score was not canceled.
In an instant, there was a burst of thunderous noise.
Everyone discussed incessantly, creating a cacophony of noise and confusion. None of them had expected such a result.
"I don't accept it!" Huang Nu Feng stepped out, blue veins popping out of his clenched fists. He pointed at Lin Feng, "He didn't complete the test at all. Why did he get a score?!"
"Not completing the test doesn't mean that he didn't get a score." Wang Shi put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "The second round doesn't have a clear rule. There is only a time limit. I've already said that everyone can 'choose freely.' Looking at Huang Nu Feng, Wang Shi's eyes flashed, "The result has been decided. It doesn't matter if you accept it or not."
"Everyone, rest for an hour." Wang Shi said in an indifferent voice before turning around and leaving.
Huang Nufeng was left with an ugly expression, but he didn't dare to say anything. In the Suzaku Continent, Wang Shi had a very high status.
His words left no room for doubt.
…
"I didn't expect President to make an exception for this child," Ouyang Kuo said softly.
"Make an exception?" Wang Shi was startled. Then, he said happily, "We've known each other for so long. Old Kuo, don't you know what kind of person I am? Not to mention this little guy, even Lady Nangong is treated equally. If this kind of competition is conducted for personal gain, the Union of Artificers will lose face. "
"Then the 'exception' President mentioned before is …" Ouyang Kuo said in a daze.
Wang Shi smiled and looked at Lin Feng not far away, "Originally, I also thought that this child would be eliminated, so I wanted to make an exception and give him the position of 'Honorary Elder' of the Union of Artificers. Who would have thought that he could make a comeback in such a situation? It's really incredible."
"I see." Ouyang Kuo nodded and smiled, "I was wondering when President's temper changed."
"You're about to enter the coffin. Don't you feel tired?" Wang Shi smiled, his eyes shining, "But I'm curious. This child is so young. How can he have such amazing refining skills? It's really incredible."
"A refiner needs years of experience. Even if this little guy started refining when he was in his mother's womb, it would be less than thirty years." Ouyang Kuo was also puzzled, "But in the first round, his refining skills were as perfect as a textbook, without any flaws. It's really hard to imagine that a child could have such skillful skills."
"Old Kuo, I have to admit that there are indeed so-called 'geniuses' in this world. It's the same for warriors and refiners." Wang Shi smiled, "To be able to discover such a talented Refiner, my Vermillion Bird Continent's Refiner Union has picked up a treasure. I wonder how far he can go in the end?"
"Maybe even Lady Nangong will win," Ouyang Kuo joked.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
…
"Congratulations, Lin Da Ge ~" Lin Yumo smiled sweetly. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak.
At this moment, not only her, but everyone in the Lin clan, including Lin Yan and Lin Zhen, had gathered together happily. Lin Yan and Lin Zhen, especially, were grinning from ear to ear. They had thought that this year's Refiners' Conference would be in vain, but who would have thought …
Lin Feng had squeezed into the top ten at the last moment!
"Well done, very well done!" Lin Zhen patted Lin Feng's shoulder, grinning from ear to ear.
"Clan Leader has a good eye for talent." Lin Yan stroked his long beard and smiled, "With Master Lin Feng, it's hard for the Lin clan not to be famous. Did you see Pang Hui's ugly face? Ha, I haven't been so happy in a long time. "
"I was just lucky." Lin Feng chuckled.
He had stumbled into the finals. It was indeed quite lucky that he could enter the finals.
"Luck is also a part of strength." Lin Zhen said happily, his eyes sparkling. "This time, Lin Feng, you've become famous in one fell swoop. The heavens are helping me! After returning to Shiluo County, the Lin clan will definitely rise. As long as Lin Feng is our living signboard, coupled with a 'perfect grade' astral treasure, in less than three years … "
"I want the Lin clan to truly stand at the top of Shiluo County!" Lin Zhen's eyes were burning with confidence.
"I hope so." Lin Feng smiled. Helping the clan refine some perfect grade astral treasures was just a small matter for him. If he could really help the clan rise, it could be considered as helping his father and adoptive father. It was not necessarily a bad thing.
But how could things be so perfect?
At least …
Right now, there was still a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, hibernating.
…
The White Clothes Association.
One of the mysterious existences in the Vermilion Bird Continent.
Where there was light, there would be darkness. Where there were people, there would be disputes, power struggles, and killings. And the White Clothes Association was born for this. It was the most outstanding and largest assassin organization in the Vermilion Bird Continent. It was like an old tree deeply rooted in the Vermilion Bird Continent, spreading throughout the Nine Counties.
"Is everything ready?" In the darkness, a hoarse and low voice rang out.
"Yes, Nether King." A man in white knelt on one knee, expressionless. His entire body was emitting a clear killing intent.
"This mission is very important. If you fail …"
"You don't have to come back."
The voice was low and calm, but it was firm and resolute, making people terrified.
"Don't worry, Nether King. This subordinate will do it cleanly."
"We'll make use of the Vermilion Bird Challenge. We won't leave any traces."
The man in white was extraordinarily calm, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Go, bring back the head of this' Lin Feng 'for me."
"Yes, Nether King."
…
Vermilion Bird Territory.
At the teleportation point, a man in a black cloak with his face hidden slowly appeared.
A pair of eyes as bright as the stars, and a dense evil aura was emitted from the man's body. He was like a ghost. If one stood in front of him, they would be able to vaguely see that ugly, demon-like face. It was Lam Tok Tei!
He had also come to the Vermilion Bird Realm.
The preliminary round of the Vermilion Bird Challenge was to give martial artists below the Third Stage of the Star Sector-level a chance.
However, as long as one was above the Third Stage of the Star Sector-level, they could directly participate in the main competition. Lam Tok Tei, Hua Yidao, and even Lin Zhen could participate. However, whether or not they were willing to participate was another matter. After all, the death rate of the Vermilion Bird Challenge was very high.
If one wasn't confident in their own strength, they might not be willing to take the risk.
As such, although Lin Zhen had always been qualified to participate in the Vermilion Bird Challenge, he had never taken the risk.
With his status, it wasn't appropriate for him to do so. Lin Yan was the same.
"The Vermilion Bird Challenge Competition is in three days.
Lin Feng, Second Uncle will give you a nice surprise then. "
Lam Tok Tei let out a strange laugh. He was full of confidence.
He had been planning for revenge for a long time.
Suddenly —
"Have you heard? There's a big upset in the Blacksmith Competition!"
"A young man in his twenties entered the final round on his first time!"
"It can't be, is it true? Could he be a monstrous genius nurtured by the three great blacksmith families? "
"No way, his name is Lin Feng. He's a member of the Lin clan, the second blacksmith family in Shiluo Prefecture. I heard that the Lin clan is in the limelight this time. There's also Lin Yumo. Not only does he look like a fairy, but his blacksmith skills are also top-notch. He also entered the second round on his first time! "
"Quick, bring me to see!"
…
Lin Kuandi's eyes turned cold as he listened to the voice.
"Lin clan …"
"Lin Feng!"
Lin Kuan clenched his fists and snapped his fingers. He gritted his teeth and his chest heaved up and down.
The grudge from that day was still engraved in his heart.
Whoosh! Lam Tok Tei's figure flashed, and he disappeared in an instant.
The direction he left in was the Tōhoku Stairway to Heaven.
One spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred. Master Lin Feng's name had already spread throughout the Vermilion Bird Realm. Many cultivators rushed over, wanting to see Master Lin's true face.
…
It was overcrowded!
The Inferno Heavenly Stairway was filled with martial artists, both inside and outside.
Here, Star Sector-level cultivators were nothing. Any random cultivator was probably at the Star Sector-level. Star Lords were everywhere, like commoners. Only Star Lords could enter the Vermilion Bird Realm.
At this moment, almost all the "elites" of the Vermilion Bird Continent were here!
"There seems to be more and more people." Lin Zhen looked around and chuckled.
The more people came to watch, the more famous the Lin clan became. Of course, this depended on Lin Feng's performance.
"Many people came to see Master Lin Feng's true face," Lin Yumo said with a smile.
"Cough." Lin Feng felt a little helpless. "Yumo, you're even making fun of me."
"No, I'm telling the truth." Lin Yumo blinked her eyes.
"Oh, you." Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.
How could he not know Yumo's intentions? She wanted to help him relax.
However, he wasn't nervous at all. He was already very lucky to have made it to the finals. There was no need to be greedy.
Moreover, his strength was still far inferior to that of Lady Nangong and Master Ouyang.
Just as he was about to speak —
"Dong!" The crisp sound of a bell rang, completely drowning out the surrounding noise. All the cultivators' eyes lit up, and they quieted down.
An hour had passed. This bell meant that the finals of the Weapon Refinement Competition had begun …
It had finally begun!
