The next day.
A thousand people adopted a drawing-lots system.
They paired up into groups of two for the ring tournament.
The winners advanced to the top five hundred.
Lin You stood among the Lin lineage crowd with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
It was not because of fatigue.
With his current cultivation, he did not need sleep at all.
Rather, the psychological pressure was simply too great.
A combination of a Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils that only existed in legends.
What should he do!
What on earth should he do so that he would not be farmed like a wild mob!
Damn it, somebody tell me!!
Under one-thousand-fold acceleration.
Lin You's cultivation was even more formidable than yesterday.
Before, Lin Tao could still sense it faintly, but this time,
he could not detect even a shred of it.
"You'er."
"Did you not rest well yesterday?"
"How come your dark circles are so heavy."
Lin Tao asked with concern.
"Brother Tao."
"I am fine."
Lin You shook his head, unable to voice his bitter suffering.
"Mhm..."
Lin Tao nodded. "As long as you are fine, we believe in you."
"The Kirin Son of our Lin lineage did not earn his reputation for nothing."
"Walking all the way from a humble ninth-grade lineage to today relies on an unyielding drive!"
You believe in me?
Big bro...
Do you know what the last person possessing the Supreme Bone ended up becoming?
The Heavenly Emperor.
He severed through all eternity!
It sounded completely terrifying.
"Right, right."
"Brother Tao is right."
"Aren't you just a genius loved by people and bloomed upon by flowers?"
"Aren't you just a prodigy rare to see in a million years?"
"Aren't you just a seeded candidate already targeted by the Everlasting Family?"
"A super expert who is invincible in the same realm and fights across realms as easily as drinking water and eating meals?"
"Brother Tao, I am really fine."
The Lin lineage crowd: "???"
Second Elder Lin Dong turned his head with a somewhat dazed expression.
"Brat."
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"
"You are bolstering others' prestige while destroying your own spirit!"
Lin You forced a trace of a smile onto his bitter gourd-like face.
If you are so capable, you go up!
The drawing of lots ended quickly.
Lin You's opponent was a genius from an unknown lineage.
A one-in-five-hundred chance.
Fortunately, his luck was not so terrible that he drew Qin Feng right off the bat.
He let out a long sigh of old air.
It was alright...
As long as he did not run into him immediately,
he could still cultivate!
Faintly,
Lin You's sixth sense detected an unkind gaze.
He looked along the line of sight.
In a spot surrounded by stars like the moon, a youth stood tall and majestic.
He was staring fixedly right at him.
The moment their gazes intersected,
that figure arrived right before him.
Merely his formidable aura left everyone dumbfounded.
That was not a gap brought about by cultivation levels.
Instead, it was a sensation.
It was as if standing before him, one naturally fell short by half a head.
Lin You knew.
This was the oppressive pressure brought by the opponent's Supreme Bone within his body!
Invincible in the same realm!
"You are Lin You?"
Qin Feng grinned, his expression incomparably confident.
"I heard... the Everlasting Family wants to recruit you as a son-in-law."
"It seems you have quite a bit of talent?"
Lin You shook his head frantically.
"There's no such thing, bro."
"What Everlasting Family, I don't know anything about it at all."
Qin Feng stepped forward and clenched his fists.
"Quibbling!"
"A real man dares to act and take responsibility; yesterday, Envoy Zhuge clearly found your Lin lineage."
"Yet you refuse to admit it!"
"Could it be that you look down on me, Qin Feng?"
Lin You felt his heart skip a beat.
Is there something wrong with your brain!
What the heck does this have to do with looking down on you!
Besides...
When did the Everlasting Family ever come looking for him?
How come he knew nothing about it?
He looked somewhat dazed as he turned to Brother Tao.
Lin Tao rubbed his nose. "They really did come yesterday, I forgot to tell you."
Lin You: "..."
Qin Feng pointed with a single hand.
"Look."
"That's the demeanor of a senior for you, daring to act and take responsibility."
"Lin You, I acknowledge you."
"Reaching the True Core Realm at the age of eighteen, regardless of the reason,"
"you are fully qualified to be my, Qin Feng's, opponent!"
If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps it just changed its name!

"Let us fight for supremacy at the Heavenly Pride Competition!"
Lin You roared frantically in his heart.
You're a psycho!
Where did this grand-chubby-ed high schooler come from?
Are the two of us shooting a movie together?
When the hell did I ever want to be your opponent!
"My friend..."
"Actually, I..."
Qin Feng waved his hand, an extremely arrogant look appearing on his face.
"No need to say more."
"I understand!"
"The world of geniuses is always lonely!"
"It is freezing at the top; this tiny Seventh-grade Star Domain cannot hold prodigies like us."
"You must be yearning for a hearty and thorough battle."
"I understand it all!"
Qin Feng's eyes gleamed as he tightly clenched his fists.
"Let us decide the victor once and for all!"
"Only the winner is worthy of joining the Everlasting Family!"
Lin You: "..."
My friend.
I know a few good psychiatrists on Blue Star.
Should I recommend one to you?
"Brother."
"It's a misunderstanding, a complete and utter misunderstanding."
"We don't know each other at all, there's no need to forge a grudge over this."
"You shine your light and be your genius, while I honestly cultivate on my own."
Lin You said honestly and obediently.
He really was unwilling to easily forge a grudge with a Child of Destiny.
Who knew when the opponent would fall off a cliff or suffer near-fatal injuries one day,
only to encounter some old grandfather jumping out of a ring or defying-heaven fortunes.
Then soar straight up into the sky,
and shout out a line: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
Wouldn't he be completely screwed by then?
"Keep a low profile."
Qin Feng raised his head, pointing at Lin You with certainty.
"I like your personality."
"But I can see the ambition burning like a blazing fire within your heart."
"That is the resonance belonging to geniuses."
"I understand it all."
Understand your... sister!
Are you retarded!
Lin You was a hair's breadth away from cursing out loud.
"On the surface, you feign reluctance to be my enemy."
"Actually, you are already observing me in secret, wishing to find a favorable opportunity."
"To win in a single battle!"
"After all, the path of a genius cannot tolerate the slightest failure."
Qin Feng's aura began to gradually climb.
Wave stronger than wave.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the sixth level of the Five Qi Towards Origin Realm.
Yet that imposing momentum
was countless times stronger than Ye Fan of the ninth heaven from before.
It is simply even more exaggerated than an ordinary True Core Realm!
As his aura erupted.
The two factions of the Lin Family and the Qin Family also grew nervous.
Frightened that the other side might suddenly strike.
"Lin You!"
Qin Feng shouted.
"Let's fight!"
"I know a genius like you has always yearned for an opponent."
"Just like me!"
What the bloody hell!
Just as Lin You was caught in a dilemma.
Envoy Zhuge's voice rang out in the void.
"Next match."
"Tianluo Star Domain, Lin You."
"Mo Yun Star Domain, Mo Tian!"
Lin You breathed a sigh of relief.
He coughed, pointing toward the arena.
"I must begin."
"The bigger picture comes first."
"Farewell!"
With that, the Ascension Stairs beneath his feet lit up, and step by step he walked toward the arena.
"Hey!"
"Bastard, how can you refuse another genius's challenge!"
"This is immoral!"
Qin Feng was incensed.
But the next second.
He froze in place.
Because Lin You was already back in the arena.
While that genius from the Mo Yun Star Domain.
Who was likewise at the sixth stage of the Five Qi Towards Origin Realm.
Was already lying there like a dead dog.
Judging by his posture...
He probably would not be able to crawl back up for three to five years.
Qin Feng's face twitched slightly, and the circulation of his entire body's aura likewise stagnated.
Are you kidding me!
What the hell...
Was that even a minute?
What realm has this guy actually reached!
That was a genius in the top one thousand!
Although there was some gap between him and himself.
Still, no matter what, it was impossible to finish the opponent off in a minute.
Qin Feng reined in his aura, stepped forward to grab Lin You's arm, and said earnestly.
"You..."
"Brother, I suddenly feel."
"There is truly no need to rush our battle."
