Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Hua Family

Under the resentful gazes of the few, Lin Feng stepped out of the stone chamber.

Lu Shaoyun and the others could only sigh helplessly and also walked out of the stone chamber together.

After they left the stone chamber, they saw the Great Elder sitting cross-legged outside, with his eyes closed, recuperating.

Hearing the footsteps, the Great Elder opened his eyes.

Seeing Lin Feng and the others walking out of the stone chamber, the Great Elder was taken aback and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Why have you all come out?"

The Great Elder’s face showed some displeasure as he frowned and said, "Opportunities to cultivate in the Spirit Pond are rare; you must seize the opportunity and not waste time!"

Lu Shaoyun and the others couldn’t help but grimace and remained silent.

After a while, Ling Muchen spoke up, "Great Elder, the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Pond has been depleted!"

Ling Muchen’s voice was low, filled with grievance.

"What? Depleted?"

The Great Elder was startled and immediately, his face darkened as he said sternly, "What joke is this! The Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Pond has been accumulating for several months. It’s more than sufficient for the seven of you to cultivate for 24 hours. How could it possibly be depleted?"

The Great Elder did not believe Ling Muchen’s words. The Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Pond was prepared for this batch of the top ten disciples.

Even if it were ten people absorbing for 24 hours, it would be completely adequate.

Now, the number has been reduced from ten to seven; even if these seven people were to absorb for 20 hours, there wouldn’t be any problem.

And now, barely over six hours have passed, and they’re saying it’s gone!

How is that possible?

Faced with the Great Elder’s stern questioning, the expressions on Ling Muchen and the others’ faces grew even uglier, and they all involuntarily turned their gazes to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng chuckled dryly and said, "Great Elder, the Spiritual Energy is indeed gone! You’ll know once you take a look."

The Great Elder nodded, and with a furrowed brow, he walked into the stone chamber.

Upon seeing the Spirit Pond devoid of Spiritual Energy, the Great Elder was stunned, his face showing a dazed expression.

"What... how did this happen?"

After a long moment, the Great Elder asked with a glum face.

It was very strange to the Great Elder how a Spirit Pond, sufficient for ten people to absorb for 24 hours, could be depleted by seven people in just over six hours.

"Great Elder, Lin Feng alone absorbed Spiritual Energy faster than the six of us combined!"

Duan Bingye spoke in a cold voice, revealing the truth to the Great Elder.

"What? One person faster than you six?"

The Great Elder was shocked, then his expression changed as he excitedly asked Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, could it be your Star?"

The Great Elder was very excited. Duan Bingye and the others all had Human Level Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank Stars. If Lin Feng alone could absorb Spiritual Energy faster than the other six, then he must undoubtedly be of Xuan Grade!

A person owning a Xuan Grade Star was indeed a true genius!

In the whole Hu Ben Country, only the Sixth Prince possessed a Xuan Grade Star!

"No, I just have a Ninth Rank Star,"

Lin Feng shook his head.

The Great Elder was unconvinced, but in the end, Lin Feng even released his Shield Bone Dragon Star for the Great Elder to believe.

With the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Pond depleted, it was pointless for them to stay any longer. Afterward, they left together.

Lin Feng walked out of the great hall and went along the mountain path towards the Purple Gold Pavilion.

The competition earned him fifty thousand Contribution Points, which he prepared to exchange for some cultivation resources.

On the mountain path, a large number of disciples were heading down the mountain.

With the end of the year approaching, many disciples began to return to their respective families.

Lin Feng also planned to return to Boyang City after exchanging the resources.

At the Purple Gold Pavilion, Lin Feng exchanged for six bottles of Level Two Upper Grade Elixirs and three hundred Level Two Seventh Layer Meteors, nearly spending all fifty thousand Contribution Points.

After that, he went back to his residence.

Lin Feng was now one of the top ten disciples and could have moved into the loft designated for them.

However, he had lived in that courtyard for so long, he had gotten used to it and had not moved into the loft.

"The Four Seas Arena is the fighting ground in the Imperial City, inviting talents from all corners of the world and gathering martial artists far and wide to compete on the arena. If one can win consecutively, they will receive a very handsome reward."

Inside the house, Lin Feng pondered his plans for after the end of the year.

The end of the year would follow the conclusion of the competition.

He needed to make arrangements for the coming year.

This Four Seas Arena was a very good choice.

He was now very concerned about cultivation resources, knowing that with sufficient wealth and resources, his strength could soar rapidly.

"If I remember correctly, in these past ten-plus years, only the three marvels of Hu Ben Country have maintained a record of a hundred consecutive victories at the Four Seas Arena. Previously, Yu Wen Tuo also had a good record, but unfortunately, this lifetime is too different, and I’ve taken him out before his wings were fully spread."

Lin Feng sat quietly in the courtyard for a long time before rising, locking the courtyard door, and preparing to return to his family.

As the end of the year drew near, Boyang City became bustling once again.

This was because the Boyang City Martial Arts Competition was about to take place.

In the teahouses and restaurants, people were discussing the Martial Arts Competition.

"I heard that the Lin Family has already chosen the ten disciples who will participate in this year’s Martial Arts Competition!"

In a restaurant, several diners chatted while eating.

"Yes, they are Lin Yu, Lin Tianhao, Lin Hai, Lin Heng, and others. Their lineup is not weak."

"The Hua Family is not bad either. The number one talent of the Hua Family, Hua Gang, it is said that not only has he recovered his cultivation, but his strength has also increased by a notch!"

"Right, what about Lin Feng of the Lin Family? Is he not participating in this year’s Martial Arts Competition?"

"Lin Feng is said to have not returned yet. Who knows if he’s died outside?"

"Even if Lin Feng comes back, he probably won’t be qualified to compete in this year’s Martial Arts Competition. After all, his Star Level is too low, and he doesn’t have much potential. It would be good enough if he has reached the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm by now!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussions that gradually shifted to Lin Feng.

...

Inside the main hall of the Hua Family.

"Hua Gang, with your strength, you are sure to sweep the competition at tomorrow’s Lin Yang City Martial Arts Competition!"

Family Head Hua Changkong looked at his son before him, Hua Gang, with a smile full of pride.

Hua Gang chuckled, a vicious glint in his eyes as he said, "Don’t worry, father! This time, I’ll see who can stop me!"

Hua Gang was brimming with confidence. Having had a fortunate encounter, he had not only stepped into the realm of Great Martial Master but had also advanced to the Peak of the Second Layer of Great Martial Master.

Looking at the younger generation of Boyang City, who could be his opponent?

Hearing this, Hua Gang arrogantly said, "I wonder if Lin Feng will come back this year. If I encounter him again, I’ll make sure he begs for mercy and can’t beg for death!"

Lin Feng pulled off a huge upset last year, when everyone thought he was just a Level One trash Star, but he turned out to be pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, shocking everyone with his reveal and killed Lin Zihua in the process. For a while, many considered Lin Feng to be the number one among the younger generation in Boyang City. He also shattered Lin Zihua’s Dantian, causing him to lose his cultivation for a long time.

This greatly annoyed Hua Gang, who realized that he was no match for Lin Feng at that time. After Lin Feng joined the Divine Wind Camp, Hua Gang also joined a powerful faction in Hu Ben Country, and his strength had significantly improved.
