Chapter 261 You Don't Deserve
Lin Feng, with disheveled hair, had lost all traces of his once elegant demeanor. He pivoted on his feet, dodging Liu Meng's kick and swiftly appearing behind him, launching a punch towards his back.
"Bang!"
Struck hard, Liu Meng rolled several times on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Just as he tried to get up, Lin Feng was already upon him, stepping on his back and pinning him down firmly to the ground.
"I told you, if I could defeat you once, I could do it again," Lin Feng said with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, speaking in a low voice.
Grinding his teeth, Liu Meng was reluctant to admit defeat but still said, "I lost!"
Lin Feng lifted his foot, and Liu Meng stood up from the ground, took out an ancient book, and unwillingly threw it to Lin Feng before jumping off the martial stage.
Lin Feng casually tucked away the martial skill and walked down to the Lin Family's area, grinning, "I won!"
Lin Changfu nodded slightly, a trace of a smile appearing on his calm face, "This time, you won by a fluke with your movement technique, but next time you might not be so lucky. When we return to the family, go straight to the training base. Don't come out until you've reached the Condensation Realm."
At the mention of the training base, Lin Feng's face instantly turned sour, yet he dared not complain.
"I'll take the second fight," Lin Langtian said as he stood up from his seat, his gaze moving towards Li Xiaoyao. Just as he was about to issue a challenge, a man had already stepped forward, ascending the martial stage.
"Zhang Family's Zhang Yuan, betting the Biyou Grass, challenges Lin Family's Lin Langtian!"
Dressed in azure, Zhang Yuan stood on the stage, like an unsheathed long spear, his gaze electric as he stared at Lin Langtian.
"This Zhang Yuan is really persistent, losing to Lin Langtian at the Ghost Market for three consecutive years. This year, he still dares to challenge."
"Zhang Yuan is a peak Qi-Training Mirror Martial Artist, and so is Lin Langtian. However, Lin Langtian's combat experience is much richer, which is why he has been able to defeat Zhang Yuan for three years straight."
"The strength of the two is not much different. It seems Zhang Yuan has also been diligently training this past year. It's uncertain who will have the upper hand this time."
Lin Langtian's brows furrowed ever so slightly. He had intended to directly challenge Li Xiaoyao, but Zhang Yuan emerged unexpectedly.
"Then, I'll allow you to live a bit longer," Lin Langtian said as he passed by Li Xiaoyao. "After I take care of Zhang Yuan, I'll deal with you."
Lin Langtian tapped his toes on the ground, and his body whirled like the wind, lightly landing on the martial stage.
This move drew admiration from many.
"Compared to last year, Lin Langtian's strength seems to have improved," someone commented.
"The Lin Family has produced quite a few prodigies in recent years. This Lin Langtian could probably rank in the top five within the Lin Family, maybe even the top three."
Lin Langtian gave Zhang Yuan a casual glance, took out a long spear from his storage ring, and planted it at his feet, "Kro Precision Spear. If you have the ability, come and take it."
"That's a Kro Precision Spear forged from Kro Precision Stone!"
"It's been rumored that Lin Langtian possesses a Seventh Rank long spear, and it must be this one."
Zhang Yuan, eyes fixed on the Kro Precision Spear, licked his lips and suddenly smiled, "Lin Langtian, I've lost to you for three years. I have been training hard every day, all for today."
"Is that so? I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you," Lin Langtian said disdainfully. "Even if you train hard for ten years, you will still not be my match."
"Hmph! Arrogant!" Zhang Yuan stepped forward, his aura exploding in an instant, a powerful presence radiating from the stage causing many below to change their expressions.
"What is this!"
"Condensation Realm!"
"Zhang Yuan has actually stepped into the Condensation Realm!"
"In just one year, he moved from the peak of the Qi-Training Mirror to the Condensation Realm. The Zhang Family might be rising."
A Martial Artist of the Condensation Realm could indeed walk sideways through a city.
Zhang Yuan released his aura without reservation. Enjoying the looks of surprise from below, he said, "This past year, I have trained day and night, finally reaching the Quasi-Condensation Realm not long ago. And you will become the first stepping stone of my entry into the Quasi-Condensation Realm!"
Lin Langtian was somewhat surprised, but it was only just that—surprise.
"Just at the edge of the Condensation Realm, do you think that with this, you can defeat me? If you had truly entered the Condensation Realm, I might have had some concerns." Lin Langtian shook his head, as he too took a step forward, an aura no weaker than Zhang Yuan's emanating from his body.
As this aura spread out, the robes on his body moved on their own without any wind.
At this moment, he seemed like a pillar between heaven and earth, someone one could only look up to.
Zhang Yuan, feeling this terrifying aura, widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "The Condensation Realm, you've actually reached the Condensation Realm! This can't be!"
The crowd below also changed their expressions slightly; they knew Lin Langtian was strong, but to break through from the Qi-Training Mirror to the Condensation Realm in just a year's time, that rate of cultivation was simply terrifying.

Lin Langtian blandly said, "You are but a martial artist on the brink of the Condensation Realm, whereas I am a martial artist of the first layer of the Condensation Realm. How are you qualified to battle me?"
Lin Langtian's voice spread across the vast fighting platform, and Zhang Yuan looked somewhat dispirited, but he immediately raised his head to look at Lin Langtian and gritted his teeth, "I don't believe it, this must be fake!"
Zhang Yuan's figure flickered, turning into a gust of wind as he charged towards Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian's gaze sharpened, and he snorted, "Obstinately ignorant."
"Bang!"
Lin Langtian threw a casual punch, blasting it into the empty space in front of him.
The charging Zhang Yuan suddenly froze in place, and the next moment, he was sent flying backward by the force of the punch, landing at the edge of the fighting platform.
Everyone below was stunned.
With just one punch, he had seriously injured Zhang Yuan, who had stepped into the brink of the Condensation Realm.
Such strength was terrifying!
Lin Langtian walked over, took the Biyou Grass from Zhang Yuan's body, then turned around to face the audience and quickly locked eyes with Li Xiaoyao, hooked his finger, and said, "Li Xiaoyao, if you're a man, come up and fight!"
"Who is Li Xiaoyao?"
"Could he also be a master of the Condensation Realm?"
"So it's him!"
"Isn't this Li Xiaoyao without sect or faction? I see his aura is weak, he has probably only just reached the Qi-Training Mirror."
"Anyone who isn't a fool wouldn't accept the challenge."
"Heh, that's not necessarily true, what if Li Xiaoyao is a fool?"
Today, Lin Yuanyuan was not present, and no one came forward to plead on his behalf. Unless Li Xiaoyao declined the challenge, if he accepted, Lin Langtian would certainly kill him.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Li Xiaoyao slowly stood up from his seat and said indifferently, "I didn't want to fight you because, you're not worthy!"
"What?"
"Has this kid gone mad? A mere Qi-Training Mirror youngster, he dares to say Lin Langtian is not worthy to fight him?"
"He's really gone mad!"
From Lin Family's side.
Lin Feng said, "Hmph, if you're too scared to come up then just say so, don't speak so disdainfully."
Lin Wen remarked, "If it weren't for the Ghost Market's rules against fighting at will, I would have taught him a lesson long ago."
Lin Shiyun also shook her head and sighed, "This man, does he really think after defeating Wei Ziwen, he's qualified to challenge our Lin Family?"
"But you're too noisy. Fine, I'll make a move to teach you a lesson, so you learn some manners," Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, step by step, casually walked up to the fighting platform.
