A Little Panicked!

In the arena.

Qin Feng's nerves were stretched to the breaking point.

Compared to Lin You, he carried far more weight.

"Bastard!"

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Do you think I, Qin Feng, am not even worthy to fight you?"

"Is that why you stand there so calmly, handing me the first move?"

Anyone who's battled often knows how huge an advantage striking first is!

Beans of sweat as big as pearls rolled down Qin Feng's forehead.

He gasped for air heavily, as if he'd just endured a great battle in agony.

Qin Feng was hysterical, his Twin Pupils already bloodshot.

No matter how hard he stared, he couldn't see through Lin You's true strength at all.

He roared:

"I am the one and only genius!"

"Of the Myriad Worlds!"

"I carry on my shoulders the hope and future of the Qin Family!"

"Bastard!"

"I have ten thousand reasons I cannot lose!"

"Lin You!"

Qin Feng bellowed, and his aura began to surge wildly.

Straight to the peak of the Five Qi Towards Origin Realm's ninth heaven!

He still showed no sign of stopping.

"I acknowledge you!"

"I cannot lose!"

Qin Feng roared.

His cultivation actually broke through to the True Core Realm in that instant!

After it was done, Qin Feng howled at the sky, his eyes filled with elation.

"I still did it!"

"Three days, from the sixth heaven of Five Qi Towards Origin straight to True Core Realm!"

"I did it!"

"How could the title of genius have even a single stain!"

Lin You's heart skipped a beat.

What the hell...

A breakthrough mid-battle.

A Child of Destiny?

Does it have to be this ridiculous?

I haven't even done anything yet, why are you acting like you're about to die?

So nervous...

There's no way a True Core Realm ninth heaven cultivator gets killed by someone below his rank, right...

Lin You swallowed hard.

But Qin Feng had already closed in.

His momentum was so fierce

that the void trembled.

Even the watching members of the Lin Family couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

A breakthrough mid-battle.

Such terrifying talent!

Qin Feng clenched his teeth.

"Lin You!"

"The one who walks away victorious will only be me!"

He struck out fiercely, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the ultimate techniques of countless prodigies all appeared in his hands.

A vast torrent of spiritual energy was drawn into his body like a whale swallowing the sea.

Even the void began to shatter in waves!

"This is a technique I created myself."

"I call it Swallowing Heaven."

"Gathering the pinnacle arts of a hundred schools, with my Twin Pupils,"

"I take only their essence."

"Lin You."

"To have someone like you as my opponent,"

"is my honor."

"But... the title of Prodigy can only be borne by me alone!"

In a thunderous roar, the Supreme Bone within Qin Feng's body let out a dragon-like howl.

The technique in his hands swelled by a full third out of nowhere.

It shook the heavens and moved the earth!

It stunned the ages and awed the present!

Everyone was left speechless by this celestial phenomenon.

Even Envoy Zhuge's eyes showed admiration, and he couldn't help but praise.

"One seen once in a million years,"

"should be just like this."

The Qin Family erupted in celebration.

"My son Qin Feng has the bearing of a Great Emperor!"

"Breaking through mid-battle, mastering a hundred schools' techniques—ask any of his peers, who can stand against him?"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

The other geniuses, witnessing this scene, were filled with despair.

Only one thought lingered in their minds.

If Qin Feng was born, why were they?

To be in the same era as Qin Feng was destined to be tragic!

With such strength, even a True Core Realm sixth-layer might not be his match!

"So... the Mechanism Monster really does have the upper hand?"

"Sigh... Lin You reaching the True Core Realm at eighteen is already unheard of in ancient or modern times. What a pity..."

"A Prodigy meeting another Prodigy—I don't know whether to call it fortune or misfortune."

Everyone thought the battle was about to end like this.

But the next second, they were all dumbfounded.

Lin You in the arena couldn't help but take half a step back.

Until there was no room to retreat, he finally used the first technique of his life.

The Lin Family's entry-level martial art.

Tong Bei Fist!

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Its power was limited, mainly used to temper bones and muscles, honing the physical body.

—Bang.

The brilliant light in the arena exploded and scattered.

A thunderous explosion erupted from the void.

The restrictive grand formation shattered.

Layer after layer of shockwaves rippled outward.

Then...

A figure shot out like a kite with a broken string.

No...

To be precise, Like a sandbag thrown away, he blasted out.

Qin Feng.

Defeated!

One-shot kill!

A thick cloud of dust rose from the arena.

Qin Feng lay in the rubble like a dead dog.

His eyes were vacant.

His body twitched irregularly.

That was the sign of severe, fatal injuries.

He could still stand.

But there was no need.

That single exchange had made him fully realize the gap between himself and Lin You.

Even just a basic martial art.

Had already beaten him until he couldn't fight back.

If the other party used a great divine ability as well.

Qin Feng dared not imagine whether he would instantly turn to dust.

His proud Twin Pupils shed bloody tears, and his Supreme Bone wailed in lament.

He murmured:

"True Core Realm, ninth heaven..."

"I've lost..."

"Completely and utterly lost..."

--Boom.

"What?"

"True Core Realm, ninth heaven?"

"Eighteen years old!"

"Heavens above, is this even human speech?"

Countless prodigies went mad, collapsed, screamed hoarsely!

They stared in disbelief at the figure still standing in the arena.

An eighteen-year-old at True Core Realm, ninth heaven.

Was I really born to a stepmother?

Why!?

Even a Prodigy with Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils couldn't shake him in the slightest!

If Qin Feng's breakthrough in the heat of battle could still give them a shred of motivation to catch up.

Then the next step was the True Fire Refining Spirit Realm.

Lin You, at elder-level strength.

Had already made them unable to muster any thought of opposing him.

Even...

Looking up to him had become a luxury!

Just gazing at his back from afar was enough to prove oneself a genius!

The older generation collapsed on the spot.

"What kind of starry-sky-motherf*cking joke is this?!"

"I only reached True Core Realm at three hundred years old, and you're telling me he's about to step into True Fire Refining Spirit?"

"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!"

"I report that Lin You cannot be eighteen—he's concealed his true age!"

"I also report that he must have been possessed by some ancient monster. Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Even Envoy Zhuge now looked at Lin You with an unfathomable shock in his gaze.

Unprecedented?

No...

No words could describe this youth's talent.

At the same age, eighteen.

Even within an Everlasting Family.

One might not appear!

He walked uncertainly to Lin You's side and examined him closely.

After confirming that the youth had not been possessed.

And truly was eighteen.

He announced to the crowd.

"Lin You."

"Eighteen years old."

"Heavenly Pride Competition, first place!"

The verdict was final.

The members of the Qin Family collapsed to the ground.

But they did not hate Lin You.

Because they could not muster even a shred of hatred.

Qin Feng had already been strong enough.

He had simply met Lin You.

"Feng'er has already done well enough..."

"It's just that Lin You is too terrifying..."

"We concede."

Compared to the unfathomable shock in everyone's minds.

The other five great families of the Tianluo Star Domain.

Had long since shrunk into the corners.

They did not even dare to lift their heads and look at the figure on the arena.

Lin You...

Would destroy them!

The grudge between the Lin Family and the five great families would be ended completely.

By this Prodigy's future.

--Hahaha...

--Ha!

Within the Myriad Star Domains.

The laughter of Lin You's uncle echoed through the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.

Yet no one resented it.

Only thick envy and helplessness remained.

"You'er!"

"Well done!"

"This is how the sons of my Lin Family should be!"
