Shocking Everyone

Lin Feng let out a breath of stale air. After cultivating through the night, he had finally achieved a modest breakthrough and entered the Undying Scripture. Clenching his fists, he could feel the powerful strength within his body.

There was also the alchemy knowledge in his mind. He felt that he was now truly no weaker than those veteran Tier 3 Alchemists—perhaps even stronger.

This had not only strengthened his body but also enhanced his soul power.

Was this what Hacked Life felt like?

It really was amazing.

He looked at the sky outside. The sun had already risen, and he could hear the voices of the Clan Youths outside.

Lin Feng clenched his fists. "It's time to take the test. It's time to reclaim the humiliation I've endured all these years."

By the time Lin Feng arrived at the Test Magic Stone Tablet, the place was packed to the brim. When Xiao Yan saw him, he waved. Lin Feng looked over and saw the lovely Xun Er standing beside him.

When he reached Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan said in surprise, "Why do I feel like you're a little different today, Feng Ge?"

Lin Feng looked at Xun Er. He knew she must have noticed it last night. Although she was smiling at him, there was also an imperceptible glimmer in her eyes, as though every secret within Lin Feng's body had been laid bare before her gaze.

Lin Feng smiled. "Xiao Yanzi, your Feng Ge has obtained a great opportunity. You'll see soon enough."

Though Xiao Yan was puzzled, Lin Feng did not seem to be joking. A glimmer appeared in his eyes. "Feng Ge, did you break through?"

Lin Feng shook his head. Had Yao Lao not appeared, limiting your imagination? Would I call a mere breakthrough a great opportunity?

Xun Er, however, shifted her gaze away from Lin Feng and said with her familiar smile, "Feng Ge's opportunity truly is no small thing."

Lin Feng merely smiled. "It's nothing worth mentioning compared to Xun Er."

At that moment, someone called out, "Next, Xiao Yan."

The entire crowd immediately began discussing him. "That trash still has the nerve to come here? There's no need to test him. I already know he's still at Three Stages Dou Qi."

"Haha, the former genius has been stuck at Three Stages Dou Qi for so long."

"Didn't you see? Lin Feng is here too. That trash is even more useless than Xiao Yan, haha."

"That's right. Xiao Yan is at least at Three Stages Dou Qi. This guy is only at Two Stages, the trash among trash."

Hearing their words, Lin Feng directly roared, "All of you, shut up!"

The crowd was startled by his sudden outburst, then burst into laughter. "Since when did trash like you dare speak to us like that? Are you asking to be taught a lesson?"

As they moved to attack him, Lin Feng merely snorted. In the next instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, everyone saw those few people flying backward. Lin Feng stepped on the leader's face and said word by word, "You've bullied me enough all these years, haven't you? Consider this a lesson. If there's a next time, I'll make sure you understand what it means to wish you were dead."

Lin Feng's icy voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Cold Spring, sending chills down everyone's spine. They were all stunned. They had not even seen Lin Feng make a move before these people had been defeated.

They were all at Dou Qi Five Stages, while the man beneath Lin Feng's foot was even at Six Stages.

Everyone had only one thought: since when had Lin Feng become this strong?

Xun Er was not particularly surprised, but Xiao Yan's eyes were full of shock. He finally understood just how great the opportunity Feng Ge had spoken of truly was.

Even the middle-aged man beside the Test Magic Stone Tablet was stunned, to the point that he forgot to announce Xiao Yan's test result.

Only after quite a while did he come back to his senses. Looking at the display on the Test Magic Stone Tablet, he said coldly, "Xiao Yan, Dou Qi, Three Stages! Level, Low Level!"

Yet no one was paying attention to that anymore. Everyone's focus was on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. I've gotten better, so your opportunity must be coming soon as well."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Yan. Feng Ge's problem has been resolved. You can definitely do it too."

Xiao Yan knew they were trying to comfort him, but he said nothing. His expression remained exceedingly dejected.

"Next, Lin Feng."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng slowly walked forward as everyone watched him.

"He defeated Xiao Shan and the others in one move just now. His strength must have reached Seven Stages already, right?"

"Who knows? Has he been enduring in silence all these years?"

"I want to see just what level Lin Feng has reached to make him act so arrogantly."

As soon as those words fell, the middle-aged man's disbelieving voice rang out.

"Lin Feng! Dou... Dou Practitioner One Star!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Dou Practitioner One Star!

What kind of strength was that?

He could be considered the number one among the younger generation of the Xiao Family. There might not even be a second person like him in all of Wu Tan City.

"How is that possible? How could his strength have improved so quickly?"

"Dou Practitioner One Star! He's even stronger than Miss Xun Er."

"Wasn't he trash? How could this be?"

"Could he really have been hiding his strength?"

Everyone was filled with doubt and shock as they looked at the white-robed youth in the field. Handsome in appearance and radiant with vigor, he seemed like a favored son of heaven. His gaze swept across every face, yet no one dared meet his eyes. At that moment, Lin Feng seemed to have shattered the pride in their hearts.

The person they had called "trash" had trampled all their pride beneath his feet. At that moment, no one dared boast about how strong they were, nor did anyone dare call him trash again.

"Ding, check-in successful. Obtained Eight Inner Gates. Next check-in location: Xiao Family Hall. Reward: Meteor Tear."

Lin Feng ignored the system notification and turned to look at everyone.

"Take a good look. I am the trash in your eyes, yet today I have trampled every one of you beneath my feet." Lin Feng pointed at Xiao Yan. "He is my brother, once a genius. But ever since something happened to him, each of you has vented the jealousy and resentment in your hearts upon him. But remember this: just as I can shatter your pride today, so can he."

"We are all members of the same clan. I don't want to hear any unpleasant voices in the future. If I do, I'll let that person know exactly what it feels like to be humiliated."

With those words, Lin Feng turned and left with Xiao Yan and Xun Er.

Along the way, Xiao Yan remained silent. After walking for a long time, he finally said deeply, "Feng Ge, thank you."

Lin Feng smiled. "It's nothing. We're brothers. Keep going. Xun Er and I both believe that you can definitely return to the peak."

Xun Er nodded as well. "Xun Er has always believed in Brother Xiao Yan."
