Deep into the night, it was bleak.
Looking at the empty dojo in front of him, Lin Feng could not help but sigh and smile bitterly. He could not imagine that he had actually 'fainted' for a full ten hours in the scorching hot cave.
However, the effect was extremely good!
"I wonder … how much my strength has improved!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he strode towards the strength testing machine. His steps were filled with anticipation. To him, rather than wanting to see how much his strength had improved, he wanted to see if his punching strength could exceed six hundred pounds!
This was the most important thing. It was related to whether he could pass the preparatory martial artist assessment.
Standing in front of the strength testing machine, Lin Feng took a deep breath.
"Let's begin!"
In a split second, Lin Feng's eyes shone like stars. With his waist as the center, his right foot suddenly stomped on the ground. An explosive force was instantly transmitted to his spine. His spine suddenly arched like a python pouncing on its prey. The strong force passed through his arm joints and increased rapidly. Then, Lin Feng's fist was like a bolt of lightning as it smashed onto the punching machine with a 'bang'.
"Beep!" The crisp sound dragged on for a long time. Although it was extremely weak, it still lingered in the empty second floor.
Lin Feng's face hung a satisfied smile. This sound meant that his punch had reached the standard of a preparatory martial artist!
Indeed — —
Six hundred and three pounds.
"Very good!" Lin Feng pursed his lips and clenched his right fist.
At this moment, the depression in his heart had disappeared like smoke in thin air …
"Let's go test my speed." Lin Feng turned and ran towards the track. His expression was completely relaxed and his eyebrows relaxed. "As long as my speed passes, and my body's strength has already reached the standard, I will definitely pass the preparatory martial artist assessment tomorrow!"
Standing on the testing machine, his body seemed to be slightly excited.
"Exhale, inhale …" Lin Feng adjusted his breathing and calmed himself down. Suddenly — —
Whoosh!
Like a cannonball suddenly shooting out, Lin Feng moved along the track like a shooting star with a powerful rhythm …
…
…
Third floor of the dojo.
The Training Hall was usually empty, but now there was an additional middle-aged man dressed in luxurious gray clothes. His dignified and upright face was seventy to eighty percent similar to Lin Nanhu.
He was the patriarch of the Lin Clan, Lin Nanhu's father, Lin Xianglong!
Although he was the clan leader, Lin Xianglong did not usually stay in the Lin Family Village because he was also a warrior!
"Beep!" A weak sound came from the second floor.
Lin Xianglong's eyes widened. With his strength, he naturally heard it.
"There are still people practicing this late at night, and their fist strength has reached the standard of a preparatory martial artist?"
"It should be Lin Ting. Indeed, tomorrow will be his last chance." Lin Xianglong smiled faintly. "Mm … let's go and see if his body's strength is up to standard."
To Lin Xianglong, the more of his clansmen that became martial artists, the stronger the clan would be.
With a thought, Lin Xianglong instantly turned into a phantom and disappeared from the Training Hall, leaving behind the empty back of the Strength Testing Machine. On top of it, there was an extremely eye-catching number — 8741.
…
"It's him!"
"Lin Feng?"
Lin Xianglong was stunned. His face flashed with deep surprise as his gaze fell on the speed testing machine. The number 5.58 was extremely eye-catching, far exceeding the passing mark of six seconds.
"Strength, speed, in just a short year, he actually reached the standard?" Lin Xianglong was inexplicably amazed. He was quite concerned about clansmen with potential like Lin Feng. Last year, Lin Feng had already demonstrated extraordinary strength. However, in his opinion, with Lin Feng's speed of improvement, he would at least have the possibility of becoming a preparatory martial artist next year.
"Unbelievable."
Just as he finished speaking, a "Ding" sound rang in his ears, causing Lin Xianglong's eyes to focus.
At this moment, Lin Feng's clear figure stepped out of the Strength Testing Machine. He was slightly tired, but looking at the transparent mirror panel, a smile appeared on his face.
The result was very satisfying.
“1.47！”
"What?!" Even though Lin Xianglong had experienced hundreds of battles, he was completely shocked at this moment.
1.47 titanium.
What kind of concept was this …
Lin Xianglong took a deep breath, his eyes shining. "A body strength of 1.47 titanium. Once he succeeds in training his elemental energy, he will be able to reach around 2.7 titanium.
"No, that's not right. That's for ordinary people. Lin Feng's body is so strong that his elemental energy absorption will definitely improve. It should surpass 3 titanium, or even 3.1 or 3.2 titanium. Once he integrates with the titanium energy suit, his body strength will increase to 3.5 titanium!"
One had to know that a beginner martial artist's body strength standard was 2 titanium.
3.5 titanium was already extremely close to the body strength of an intermediate martial artist!
With the passage of time, his "talent" would continue to be maintained. The further he progressed, the more obvious and eye-catching it would be!
Lin Xianglong couldn't help but frown.
…
Glancing at the numbers on the panel, Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction. He massaged his neck and turned his head, relaxing his slightly stiff body.
"Sure enough, the growth of the body strength is the greatest."
"1.47 titanium … Not bad. It's a pity that my body isn't at its best yet."
With a smile, Lin Feng did not linger on the matter. He took a step forward and left. The two hours of near-death experience in the cave had caused his body to be extremely exhausted. Although his speed and strength were not greatly affected, the test of his body's toughness had a significant impact.
But to him, it was fine as long as he reached the standard of a preparatory martial artist.
He didn't care about the rest, and he didn't know the meaning of caring …
"I'll go home and have a good night's rest. Tomorrow, I want to participate in the preparatory martial artist assessment in my best condition!" Laughing loudly, Lin Feng was in an incomparably good mood. From the beginning to the end, he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from a dark corner.
…
"What? Dad, you're joking! "Lin Nanhu said in disbelief.
"What do you think?" Lin Xianglong said.
Calmly sitting on the rattan chair, Lin Xianglong brewed a pot of tea. He took a sip and closed the lid. His expression was slightly calm, but his tiger-like eyes were dark and deep.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!" Lin Nanhu's face was filled with shock. His gaze was incomparably complicated. He staggered backward and hit the edge of the table with a 'bang'. The teapot shook and the tea in the cup flowed out completely. It was as if his confidence had been completely drained away.
"Look at you!" Lin Xianglong glanced at him coldly. "You're my son. Since you were born, I've done my best to train you. Are you worse than him? Whether it's strength or speed, you're better than him. It's just that your body is a little weaker. You have no ambition! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Nanhu nodded repeatedly. His eyes were shining. "Dad, you're right. How can a commoner compare to me? I've inherited your excellent bloodline."
Lin Xianglong sighed in his heart and took another sip of tea. What he said just now was just to comfort his son. In fact, even though he didn't want to, he had to admit … Lin Feng did have more potential and was more outstanding than his son. Most importantly, he was only eighteen years old!
His future was limitless!
But, so what?
Lin Feng was just a clansman, but Lin Nanhu was his son!
"Actually, it's not a bad thing to have an outstanding martial artist in the clan." Lin Xianglong said leisurely.
"Dad!" Lin Nanhu said anxiously.
"But …" Lin Xianglong changed his tone and shook his head. "Every three years, the Firmament Martial Sect will come to Fire Prayer Town to select a genius with the most potential. Among this year's batch of newcomers, you're the most promising. I've already arranged it for you. I can't let Lin Feng ruin it! Don't worry, without me, he can't even enter Fire Prayer Town. With Lin Feng's financial resources, he can't even use the transmission array. "
"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Nanhu said happily.

The coming of age ceremony was a tradition passed down from generation to generation in the Lin Family Village.
Men and women should get married when they're of age. It was a simple and practical principle to reproduce and prosper the clan.
"Dad, Mom." Kneeling in front of his parents, Lin Feng's eyes were filled with tears.
"I will never forget the 18 years of kindness of raising you."
Dong! Dong! Dong! After three consecutive kowtows, Lin Feng's eyes were firm and spirited.
"Silly child." Lin Wanqing gently rubbed Lin Feng's head and slowly pulled him into her arms. Her heart was full of love and guilt. Although today was the coming of age ceremony, in Lin Wanqing's heart, her son had already grown up. Because of his family, he was forced to be independent from a young age. Since the age of 13, he had to take care of the entire family.
Indeed, it was hard on him …
"Don't worry, Mom." Lin Feng nodded. His voice was firm and powerful. His gaze shifted slightly and he called softly, "Dad."
"Go." The hoarse and vicissitude voice seemed to have seen through everything. Although it was only two words, Lin Feng felt full of strength.
The support of his family was his motivation and the source of his struggle.
"Brother."
"Brother!"
Looking at the two familiar faces, Lin Feng hugged each of them with a warm smile.
Feeling the rich and warm family love, there was no need for words. The three hearts were tightly knit together.
"Wait for me to come back." Lin Feng straightened up and left.
…
At the top of the mountain.
At this time, there was a sea of people, talking and laughing.
Lin Jie looked around from time to time as if he was looking for someone. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Here, Feng, I'm here!"
"Good morning, Jie." Lin Feng walked over with a smile. Looking at Lin Jie's joyful eyes, he felt warm in his heart.
"How can I not be early, ha!" Lin Jie smiled awkwardly. Looking around and seeing that there was no one, he suddenly covered his mouth and whispered, "You don't know, I didn't sleep last night to pick out one from the pile of wild chrysanthemums. Look, some of my hair has turned white."
Lin Feng looked at him. Lin Jie's eyes were indeed a little red and swollen. He couldn't help but smile. "Oh, so what's the result?"
Lin Jie said seriously, "Yes, after thinking about it again and again, I finally decided … it's still Ah Xiang!"
Lin Feng was surprised. "You don't mind that her feet are smelly?"
Lin Jie said helplessly, "I can only let her wash her feet a few more times a day."
Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He joked, "I heard that she has armpit odor."
"Ah, no way?!" Lin Jie was shocked and jumped up.
Looking at Lin Jie's sallow face, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.
The pressure was instantly swept away.
With just a few simple words, he relaxed his tense nerves.
Only in front of his best friend could he really be himself.
Looking at the hesitant Lin Feng, he paused and said meaningfully, "Jie, actually, you don't need to force yourself. There should be a good result today."
"Eh?" Lin Jie was stunned when he heard this. Before he could understand what Lin Feng meant, he saw that Lin Feng had already walked away. Lin Jie's waving right hand and his back view gave off an extremely special feeling, as if there was something more than usual.
"Feng, where are you going? The coming of age ceremony is about to start."
"Qihuo Town."
A faint voice echoed in Lin Jie's ears, causing him to be stunned … In an instant, Lin Jie's expression changed, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.
Could it be …
It can't be!
His mouth was wide open for a long time, and his eyes were wide open like a statue. At this time, Lin Jie finally understood the meaning of Lin Feng's words. His heart was like a surging wave, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
Looking at the fading silhouette, he finally understood what was going on …
That was confidence.
