"Lin Feng, we finally meet!"
Lin Zhen spoke first, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"What's the point of meeting? This is my home, get out immediately!"
"Furthermore, you injured my subordinate. Apologize to me now, or this matter won't be over."
Lin Feng pulled up a chair and sat down, blocking the doorway.
"Apologize to you?"
Lin Zhen couldn't help but chuckle.
The Earth Ranking experts behind him also stifled their laughter.
"Lin Feng, do you know who you're talking to? Believe it or not, I can take care of you right now!"
Jiang Wudao, eager to protect his lord, rushed to defend Lin Zhen's dignity.
"Haha, you take care of me? If we really fight, who knows who will take care of whom!"
Lin Feng sneered. He genuinely wasn't afraid of Lin Zhen and his group anymore. With the Dragon Armor and the Hidden Dragon Sword, his strength was far from what it used to be.
He was confident he could fight Lin Zhen, though he didn't have an absolute advantage.
"You're courting death!"
Jiang Wudao was enraged and moved as if to attack.
"Enough!"
Lin Zhen shouted, stopping Jiang Wudao. With a Heaven Ranking expert like Uncle Shou present, he didn't dare to act presumptuously before him.
"Lin Feng, your subordinates were overestimating themselves and insisted on a beating; you can't blame me for that."
"As for you, if it weren't for my mother protecting you, you would have died ten thousand times over."
Lin Zhen spoke dismissively, as if looking down on an ant.
He had planned to cripple Lin Feng himself earlier, but it was only when Wang Huixin threatened to die that he was forced to compromise.
"I don't need anyone to protect me. If you want to kill me, come at me now. Others may fear you, Lin Zhen, but I don't!"
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he beckoned to Lin Zhen with his finger, a clear display of provocation.
"You are indeed arrogant. Unfortunately, you are too weak in my eyes, not worth even a glance!"
Lin Zhen's gaze sharpened, and his killing intent materialized, slashing towards Lin Feng like a sharp blade.
Lin Feng immediately got up to dodge.
With a snap!
The chair he was sitting on was instantly severed by the killing intent.
"Good, let's fight outside. This place is too small for me to unleash my full potential."
Lin Feng walked out, intending to go all out against Lin Zhen.
This battle was unavoidable, and he refused to back down.
"You're not worthy! If you want to settle the score with me, next month, at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Martial Arts Competition, I will challenge Ye Lingtian of the Heaven Ranking."
"At that time, I will give you an opportunity to challenge me."
Lin Zhen said, beckoning a few subordinates and preparing to leave.
"Lin Zhen, did I say you could leave? We don't need to wait until next month. I want to challenge you now. What are you pretending for?"
Lin Feng blocked the doorway. He truly couldn't swallow this insult.
"Lin Feng, let him go. If you truly wish to challenge him, I hope you can defeat him in front of all the martial artists."
"Only then will it prove that I, Hua Yu, haven't misjudged you!"
Hua Yu spoke calmly.
The imposing aura of the eldest daughter of the Hua family was fully displayed.
Like a snow lotus on a high mountain, cold and unapproachable.
Lin Zhen paused, then chuckled dismissively, "Hua Yu, do you wish for me to be defeated by this stray dog so much?"
"In your eyes, am I, Lin Zhen, so inferior to him?"
A hint of displeasure flickered in Lin Zhen's eyes, but his gaze towards Hua Yu still held a tender affection as vast as the sea.
"Yes, because he is my man, Hua Yu's man. No matter what your Lin family thinks of him, in my eyes, he is the best."
"Next month, Lin Feng will challenge you. If he loses, it's because he's not skilled enough. If he wins, it's your Lin Zhen bringing shame upon yourself!"
Hua Yu replied very seriously and earnestly.
Lin Feng was surprised and shocked by Hua Yu's words.
It seemed Hua Yu had never been very optimistic about him, yet now she was earnestly defending and praising him.
This woman was truly pushing him to a dead end.
"Fine, for my wife's sake, I'll let you leave. Next month, I will make you suffer humiliation in front of everyone."
Lin Feng moved aside, deciding to play along with Hua Yu.
Lin Zhen clenched his fist and forced a smile, "Alright, I'll give you the chance."
"Just one month. Cherish your final moments, my good brother."
With that, Lin Zhen brushed past Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng clearly felt an immense pressure.
His legs trembled; it was a pressure he had never experienced before.
Even though he found this pressure difficult to withstand, he gritted his teeth and held firm.
He could not show weakness before Lin Zhen, nor could he let Lin Zhen succeed.
As expected, seeing Lin Feng gritting his teeth and enduring, Lin Zhen smiled.
"Good boy, you have some backbone. We'll meet again."
Lin Zhen glanced back at Lin Feng before finally leaving.
The moment Lin Zhen departed, Lin Feng felt a great sense of relief wash over him.
He hadn't expected Lin Zhen to be so powerful, far surpassing him by more than a little.
If he was currently at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, then Lin Zhen was at least at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.
This gap was not something that could be bridged overnight.
Even with the protection of the Hidden Dragon Sword and the Dragon Armor, Lin Feng was unsure if he could defeat Lin Zhen.
He had truly underestimated this number one on the Earth Ranking.
