Time passed day by day.
The internal strife of the Lin clan had not completely erupted and was quickly suppressed, so not many people knew about it.
More importantly, all eyes in Shiluo County were focused on the Vermilion Bird Challenge, and not many people cared about what happened to the Lin clan. Of course, the Lin clan was quite famous in Shiluo County, but it was only limited to the "forgemaster" category.
In terms of "martial power," it was an extravagant hope for the Lin clan to even rank in the top 100.
It was not that they were too weak, but that Shiluo County's level was too high. The strongest people in the clan — Lin Zhen, Lin Zhongxian, Lin Shi, and the others — could not even make a splash in Shiluo County. In fact, in the battle that day, Lin Feng had been able to resolve the internal strife by himself, which was enough to prove the Lin clan's "martial power" was weak.
Therefore, all the restaurants and teahouses did not think much of the Lin clan.
Even if Lin Yumo had suddenly emerged, and Lin Feng had staggered into the third round of the preliminaries, he was still somewhat famous.
However, compared to the several major forces in Shiluo County, he was more than a few levels behind.
Especially the battle between Lin Feng and Bai Qi.
"What a joke. How can someone from a forgemaster family win against a descendant of the Bai family?"
"That's right. Bai Qi advanced first in the preliminaries, and now he's a level-3 Star Sector-level being. Among all the participants in Shiluo County, who can beat him?"
"Heh, just look at the odds."
…
Everyone was talking about it, and they were all looking forward to the third round of the preliminaries.
In the third round, there were only a few Star Lords left. As the level-2 Star Sector-level warriors were no longer left, the competition officially entered the white-hot stage. There were only two rounds left, and the only 1,000 spots in Shiluo County would be decided. They would definitely fight to the death!
Under everyone's expectations, the third round of the preliminaries began —
The curtains slowly opened!
…
In the Dark Star Pool.
"Breathe in!" Lin Feng breathed evenly, and his face was calm.
However, there was a slight frown on his face. The surrounding spatial energy was astonishingly dense, winding around his body like little fairies. The boiling pool water wrapped around Lin Feng's body and crazily surged into Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng no longer needed the protection of the rebirth flames.
After more than a month of cultivation, he had already adapted to the intensity of the Azure Star Pool.
His skin became tougher, resisting the energy impact of the pool water. It was like tempering steel.
These days, his body had also become stronger.
However, Lin Feng still didn't look very happy. His expression was rather solemn.
Slowly, Lin Feng exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.
"So difficult."
"It's only one step away, but it's still unreachable."
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and jumped out of the Azure Star Pool. During this period of time, although his body had been strengthened slightly by the Azure Star Pool, his comprehension of the Azure Star Pupil had reached a bottleneck. He had already absorbed enough space energy to overflow, and his comprehension of space was extremely profound.
However, just like the Azure Star Pupil back then, he was still a small step away.
It was like there was a layer of gauze that he couldn't pierce through.
Cultivation was like this.
Just a little bit was a lot.
There was no shortcut. He could only slowly comprehend it.
"Unfortunately, I can't make a breakthrough before the third round of the preliminaries. I can only use the third grade Azure Star Pupil to fight." Lin Feng nodded with a calm expression. Although he couldn't use "self state," the third grade Azure Star Pupil supported his body, which had already transformed. He had a good chance of defeating Bai Qi.
Clenching his fist, Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"The third round of the preliminaries will begin in a few hours."
"It's not possible to make a breakthrough in just six hours. Let's go back to the residence to rest, adjust my state, and prepare."
Lin Feng nodded and didn't force it.
…
After stepping out of the Azure Star Pool, Lin Feng's breathing was calm.
Then, he opened the Star Crystal Watch and heard the familiar beeping sound. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile.
Most of the messages were words of encouragement and congratulations from the friends he made here, such as Li Hao, Jing Youyou, and so on. Now, he had a big brother, Lin Zhan. But looking around, he still didn't see the most familiar name —
Wan Mochou.
"Strange. Since I came back, Brother Wan hasn't shown up."
"Logically speaking, he should have come to participate in the Vermilion Bird Challenge. It doesn't make sense that there is no news about him."
Lin Feng pondered and felt puzzled.
If he was in the state of cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate for a few years.
But now, it was the Vermilion Bird Challenge.
"Maybe he was delayed by something," Lin Feng murmured and didn't care too much.
After all, it was different now. Wan Mochou had a Saint as his master, so it was unlikely that he was in danger. Then, he flipped through the messages and soon saw a message signed by "Lin Yumo". The message was short, but it made Lin Feng smile warmly.
"Lin Da Ge, do your best!" Lin Feng smiled indifferently. Lin Yumo's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
In these days, he had already regarded Lin Yumo as a family member.
Walking forward casually, Lin Feng dialed Lin Yumo's number.
But at this moment —
"Bang!" An extremely strong aura came from not far away.
Like a dragon coming out of the sea, the aura was extremely strong. Immediately, Lin Feng was shocked and his eyes flashed.
"This is …" Lin Feng turned pale with fright.
Sensing the aura, he actually felt a rather familiar energy!
The energy of the Azure Star Pupil!
"How is it possible?"
"Besides me, there is someone else in the family who has the Azure Star Pupil?"
"And …"
Cold sweat dripped down Lin Feng's forehead. Although he was far away, he could still feel the terrifying energy. The power of the Azure Star Pupil was much stronger than what he had. It was at least two levels higher!
"What a terrifying power."
"Who is it? Who has such a powerful Azure Star Pupil! "
Lin Feng clenched his teeth and his eyes flashed.
In an instant, Lin Feng looked into the distance and rushed towards the source of the aura.
…
Lin Yumo's residence.
After three months of training, Lin Yumo was preparing for the preliminaries that would take place in a few hours.
Suddenly, the crystal watch on her wrist beeped. The clear sound made Lin Yumo's eyes flash. When she saw the name on the watch, Lin Yumo's beautiful face bloomed with a smile. He was the only one who could touch her heart.
"Lin Da Ge?" Lin Yumo opened her red lips and smiled.
However, there was no sound from the other side of the watch.
"Hmm?" Lin Yumo was slightly surprised. Just as she was puzzled, she finally heard a familiar voice.
"Lam Tok Tei! You're not dead?! "Lin Feng's shocked voice came to her ears. Lin Yumo's eyes widened. As smart as she was, she immediately reacted. She had heard about the internal battle three months ago, but now …
Lam Tok Tei was not dead?
"Whoosh!" In an instant, Lin Yumo rushed out like a gust of wind.
Worry flashed in her beautiful eyes. She bit her lips lightly. "Lin Da Ge, please be safe!"
…
The blood pool was still the same blood pool.
However, the blood pool was completely different now.
Its color was much dimmer, just like the "energy pools" in the bloodline inheritance ground. In just three months, such a huge change had occurred. It was truly unbelievable. However, Lin Feng's gaze only lingered on the blood pool for a moment before he looked directly at the "ugly" figure above the blood pool.
Lam Tok Tei's appearance was completely destroyed!
However, a cultivator's aura would not change!
Especially for a cultivator with keen senses like Lin Feng, the change in appearance did not affect him at all.
"Lin Feng!!" Lam Tok Tei hovered above the blood pool with a ferocious expression.
He did not expect to run into Lin Feng right after the Vast Star Eyes finished evolving and he had just entered the blood pool.
This was the main culprit that caused his meticulous plan of twenty years to fail!
Now, it was right in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to be alive." Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
This time, it was no small matter!
It was completely different from three months ago.
Although the aura imprint did not change, the strength of the aura had changed drastically!
The most terrifying thing was —
Those eyes!
As if they could see through the heavens, they shone brightly.
The Vast Star Eyes' energy that he had sensed just now originated from them!
"How can I bear to die before I kill you, you brat!" Lam Tok Tei Jie Jie laughed strangely. The Vast Star Eyes shone brightly, enveloping the entire blood pool. Lin Feng's face paled, and he immediately felt a heavy pressure. The hatred between them was as deep as the ocean. If they met again, they would definitely fight to the death.
However …
Lin Feng wanted to figure out one thing.
"Lam Tok Tei, do you remember Lin Xiaotian?" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Lam Tok Tei without fear.
In an instant, Lam Tok Tei narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Feng.
The energy of the Vast Star Eyes loosened a lot. Lam Tok Tei's eyes kept changing. After a long time, he finally spoke. "For more than a month, I couldn't figure it out …" Lam Tok Tei looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression, and his eyes shone brightly. "But now I understand, my good nephew!"
He understood immediately.
Lam Tok Tei was indeed a formidable person.
In terms of intelligence and courage, he was indeed better than Lin Zhen.
They looked at each other. Lin Feng still couldn't see any change in Lam Tok Tei's expression, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. All this time, he didn't want to believe that it was true, but the facts in front of him again and again told him that …
What happened back then seemed to be just as his foster father said.
"I just want to ask you, back then …" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly. "Why did you betray my father?!"
"Hahahaha!" Lam Tok Tei suddenly burst into laughter, and there was a hint of unscrupulousness in his smile. "I didn't expect that my idiot big brother to still be alive, and even left a bastard behind. Interesting, really interesting!" Lam Tok Tei looked at Lin Feng and sneered. "My good nephew, you want to test your second uncle?"
Lam Tok Tei pointed at his head and sneered. "Compared to me, you're still too young."
"But I'm in a good mood today, so what's the harm in telling you?" Lam Tok Tei's eyes were full of disdain. "Back then —"
"I betrayed your father!"
