Feng Chao nodded comfortingly.
Looking at Lin Feng, Feng Chao was very satisfied. His grandson's aptitude, strength, and temperament had far exceeded his expectations. Previously, he had never imagined that the fusion of human and ancient bloodlines would result in such a shocking change. To be honest, he had not been optimistic about it at all.
When he found Lin Feng, he only felt guilty and felt that he had let down his daughter.
How could he have expected such an unexpected gain?
Not only that, but Lin Feng's temperament and ability to react on the spot had deeply impressed him. It was truly rare for someone so young to have the demeanor of a great general. Faced with this predicament, even he could not find a solution for the time being. However, Lin Feng had dealt with it in the blink of an eye. Not only had he successfully disrupted Zuo's scheme and stabilized the situation, but he had also perfectly handled the ticking time bomb that was Feng Yao's death.
To Feng Yao, this might be the best 'trial'.
After all, a cultivator who died in battle was far more respected than someone who betrayed their race.
…
"Good, very good." Zuo clapped his hands, and his gloomy face suddenly bloomed with a smile.
Since he wanted to find trouble, how could he not have a way out? Although it was different from his original plan, there was more than one way out. Looking at Lin Feng, Zuo raised his eyebrows. "You said that your strength is on par with Feng Yao's. Did you kill Feng Yao during the competition?"
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear that clearly?" The wanton mockery came from Red Brow Ancestor.
Being ridiculed in public, Zuo's expression changed slightly, but he kept his composure. "No, I just want to confirm it again." Looking at Lin Feng, Zuo's lips curled into a cold smile. He raised his head slightly with a hint of provocation.
When Lin Feng saw this, he understood.
The gigolo's meaning was very clear, but he was forcing him to admit it.
"Yes, that's right," Lin Feng said slowly. At this moment, he would not back down no matter what. Moreover, he was also very curious about what tricks this sinister gigolo could use in this situation.
"Feng Yao is a peak Saint. Are you sure you're not lying?" Zuo's eyes flashed.
His voice caused an uproar among the crowd, but they hadn't noticed this detail just now. Among the younger generation of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, Feng Yao was considered a rather powerful expert. There were very few peak Martial Saints in the Southern Ancient Region who were stronger than him, let alone a mere human!
"What do you want to say? Why don't you get straight to the point?" Feng Chao interrupted in a deep voice.
With a faint smile, a sharp light flashed in Zuo Yu's eyes. "Patriarch, there's no need to be anxious. I just want to prove it once more. After all, whether or not this matter is true or false doesn't just concern the Ancient Phoenix Clan. It also concerns the reputation of the entire Ancient Southern Region and even the ancient clans."
"Our Ancient Race's elite was actually defeated by a mere human. Everyone, do you think …"
"Is that even possible?!"
Zuo looked around and raised his head to shout.
In an instant, not only did the expressions of the Ancient Phoenix Clan members change, but even the experts of the Ancient Southern Region frowned.
The crowd surged forth!
"That's right. How could we, the ancient race, lose to the humans?"
"What kind of joke is this? This is simply impossible. It's the greatest absurdity in the world."
"He must be lying. How could he win against the general director at such a young age? Humph, what a joke!"
…
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
A cold smile flashed across Zuo Yu's face. Manipulating people's hearts was what he was best at.
The ancient race experts were arrogant and had strong self-esteem. They were also extremely xenophobic! So what if Lin Feng was Feng Chao's grandson? No one would sincerely acknowledge such a dirty bloodline. In the hearts of the ancient race experts, this had already tarnished their reputation!
"How do you want to prove it?" Lin Feng asked slowly. He vaguely understood the intentions of this gigolo in front of him.
Beating a snake with a stick and beating it at its own game. It was indeed sinister.
Since according to him, Feng Yao was accidentally killed by him, then … he could totally copy it.
Kill him!
"Divine Envoy, don't tell me you want to take the field and bully the weak?" Feng Chao's eyes flashed. With a simple sentence, he blocked any possibility of Zuo taking the field.
"Of course not." Zuo Yu was calm and composed. He smiled and said, "I am a Sage King expert. If I challenge a little Sage, where will my face go? However … "Zuo Yu suddenly changed his tone and pointed behind him." I am a newly promoted law enforcer of the Temple. I would like to see the strength of the person who can kill an ancient race expert at the peak of the Sage King level. I wonder if you dare to accept the challenge? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man behind Zuo Yu stepped out. He raised his head and stretched out his fist toward Lin Feng. His eyes were burning.
His expression was extremely provocative!
All along, no one had noticed him. At this moment, when everyone's eyes met, it instantly caused a commotion.
"Isn't he …"
"The rare genius of the Candle Dragon Clan, Zhu Zhong!"
"It's him, the runner-up of the Rising Star Battle of the ancient race. He is one of the future experts of the Southern Ancient Region!"
…
Everyone kept exclaiming.
Zhu Zhong was extremely famous now. Basically, those who could achieve good results in the Rising Star Battle would have no problem advancing to the Sage King level. As for the runner-up of the Rising Star Battle, he was 100% a future expert of the ancient race. Zhu Zhong had joined the Temple and had a promising future.
"I heard that he defeated all the opponents along the way. He is quite powerful."
"I also heard that the battle for the championship lasted for six hours. They were evenly matched!"
"Sigh, it's a pity that he lost in the last move."
…
Everyone was discussing endlessly. Zhu Zhong's name was really well-known.
As the representative of the Southern Ancient Region to participate in the Rising Star Battle of the ancient race, Zhu Zhong could be said to have made the Southern Ancient Region proud. At this moment, he was like a hero.
The challenge had been issued!
Even Zhu Zhong himself had stood up.
Feng Chao and Red Brow Ancestor looked at Lin Feng. They knew Lin Feng's approximate strength, but they had never asked in detail. They only knew that Lin Feng was an advanced Sage King. However, now that the challenge was issued in front of everyone, Lin Feng would not only embarrass himself but also the Ancient Phoenix Clan, especially Feng Chao.
"It doesn't matter." Feng Chao only said three words, but it contained everything.
From his point of view, although he knew that Lin Feng's chances of winning were slim, as a cultivator, he should not avoid the challenge.
However, even if Lin Feng did not agree, he would support him one hundred percent. At this moment, Feng Chao was very confident in this newly acknowledged grandson of his.
"What, you don't dare?" Zuo raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Zhu Zhong laughed contemptuously, his face full of disdain.
"What do you mean you don't dare?!" Red Brow Ancestor glared and jumped out. "Lin Feng is just an advanced Sage King. Are you deliberately picking a quarrel by challenging the runner-up of the Rising Star Battle?!" Red Brow Ancestor raised his fist. "If you have the ability, come out and fight with me one-on-one!"
The corner of Zuo's mouth twitched, but he was ridiculed again.
He was not afraid of other people, but he was most annoyed by people like Red Brow Ancestor who was rude and unreasonable. More importantly … he could not offend Red Brow Ancestor.
Of course, he was no match for Red Brow Ancestor. This ordinary-looking old man in front of him was one of the experts in the Ancient Southern Region, second only to Ancient God Wu Feng!
"We are talking about him now." Zuo's right hand was like a sword as he pointed solemnly. "Senior, don't pester endlessly and change the topic. Advanced Sage King? Ha, interesting. " Zuo smiled. "I would like to ask this little brother, how did you defeat Feng Yao who is at the peak of the Sage King realm?"
The difference of one stage in the Sage King realm was huge.
Moreover, Lin Feng was a human cultivator!
In an instant, a commotion broke out. Everyone looked more and more suspicious. They whispered to each other and began to doubt Lin Feng's words. Red Brow Ancestor was angry. He did not expect that he would be the one to help. He wanted to speak again, but Feng Chao stopped him and pointed at Lin Feng.
"It seems …"
"I still can't avoid it."
Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.
He did not really want to expose his strength in front of everyone. Winning or losing was not that important. The situation was so 'chaotic' now. Was being high-profile the right decision? He did not know, nor did he want to know. He had participated in the ancestral recognition ceremony to reassure his grandfather, not to seek anything.
To him, being able to reunite with his family was enough.
But …
With Red Brow Ancestor's interference, he had reached the edge of a cliff and had to fight.
He had done something bad out of good intentions.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. The hesitation and confusion in his eyes changed in an instant. He had already made a decision. Lin Feng heard all kinds of doubtful voices. He glanced at the arrogant Zhu Zhong and smiled at Zuo Ran. "Is one enough?"
His voice was very calm, but it stunned everyone.
They looked at Lin Feng in a daze, their expressions unreadable. At this moment, Lin Feng added fuel to the fire. He pointed at Zhu Zhun, the law enforcer behind Zuo, and said with a smile, "Why don't … the two of you come together?"
Hiss!
The sound of gasps could be heard.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng as if they were looking at a monster, but they did not know if what he said was true or not.
Even Red Brow Ancestor and Feng Chao were a little stunned. They did not know where Lin Feng's confidence came from. Although Zhu Zhong was the runner-up of the Rising Star Battle, he was still a new martial artist. The other law enforcer, Zhu Zhun, was much stronger.
But Lin Feng …
Why did he step on the landmine?
Among the crowd, only Feng Hua had a faint smile on his face. He was very confident in Lin Feng.
Although in his opinion, Lin Feng might be too reckless to fight two people by himself, it was better this way. No one would say anything if he lost, but if he won, Lin Feng's' name 'would be completely spread. Not only that, but the Ancient Feng Clan would also rise.
"He can attack or retreat. Wonderful!" Feng Hua could not help but give him a thumbs up.
Now, Zuo and the other two had ugly expressions.
Especially Zhu Zhong, whose face was ashen. He felt that he was completely ignored.
He was the runner-up of the Rising Star Battle!
He was now the hero of the Ancient Southern Region, the new favorite!
He was actually underestimated!
"Damn it!" Zhu Zhong suddenly roared and instantly became furious. However, he was young and vigorous. He immediately jumped into the flaming basin with a sonorous flame aura. His roar was like a huge fire dragon soaring in the air. "If you have the guts, you have to defeat me first!"
The murderous aura was dense, and the atmosphere changed drastically in an instant.
Feng Chao glanced at Lin Feng. Seeing that his expression did not change, he understood in his heart. He took a light step and left the flaming basin.
At this time, only Lin Feng was left. He raised his head slightly, his eyes shining brightly.
"As you wish." Lin Feng's voice sounded.
