Chapter 8, The Girl in Purple

A sense of awe filled his heart. Indeed, in Lin Feng's mind, a junior warrior was already quite strong, while a senior warrior was an existence that was both admirable and unattainable

Qiu Ban hesitated for a moment and slowly said: "At most, we can only make some adjustments on the strength tester, as the fluctuations in strength are the most significant among the three tests. However, even so, the reduction in amplitude cannot exceed 2%, otherwise it will be easily detected."

Three copper stars correspond to the rank of Captain at the Senior Warrior level

How could my younger brother Lin Yun be humiliated!

Skill is inferior to others

From Zeng Yang, he learned that the ranks of the Tianwu Army soldiers include the positions of Captain, Lieutenant, and Second Lieutenant, which correspond to the senior, intermediate, and junior levels of the warrior ranks

Suddenly

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Jianglong did not raise his head and asked, "Have you taken care of your matters?"

Yan Feng is a significant figure in Qihuo Town. Lin Ting's eyes revealed a glimmer of envy: "Look how respectful the clan leader is towards him. If one day I could be like him, then my life would not be in vain."

There is no need to find any excuses; he indeed lost that day

"Truly impressive," Lin Feng murmured to himself

Oh... Lin Fengruo nodded slightly, looking at this unremarkable old man, his eyes now filled with a hint of reverence

Three figures slowly emerged, exuding an overwhelming and astonishing presence, their dignified expressions instantly solidifying the atmosphere in the venue

Qiu Bandao: "Rest assured, the arrangements have been made properly."

Brother Ting! Lin Feng walked over with a smile. Encountering a familiar person in an unfamiliar place feels incredibly warm and intimate

... ...

Are you all here to participate in the preliminary martial artist assessment

Here is the Qihuo Wutang

Only by relying on oneself can one become a true strong individual

Lin Ting was very clear about his own strength; he had just tested it at the martial arts school half a month ago. It is only natural for him to think this way

Indeed, it is easy to inflate scores during assessments, and those martial arts apprentices are often too pleased to notice; however, while lowering scores for one or two may be acceptable, each batch of tests consists of ten martial arts apprentices. If too many scores are lowered, it is likely to provoke a wave of skepticism.

The three individuals shook hands, exchanging warm greetings and occasionally bursting into laughter, yet there was no intention to take a seat. Yan Feng's eyes frequently darted towards the distance, as if anticipating something, appearing slightly impatient and anxious.

The assessment is about to begin, and I am concerned that speaking now may increase Brother Ting's psychological burden, as this time is his final opportunity

"Ha, Li Yun, Meng Fei, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Yan Feng stepped forward to greet them

Lin Jianglong furrowed his brow, fell silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Let's go, take me to see."

As the door swung open, a young man of short stature, with repulsive mouse-like spots on his face, cupped his hands and said: "May I ask what business you have with Qiu Ban?"

After all, warriors and ordinary people exist on completely different levels. If Lin Ting cannot overcome today's challenge, he will lead a mediocre life.

"Come in." As the fragrance of tea wafted in, Lin Jianglong spoke.

"Is it really impressive?" Lin Feng asked curiously

"Yes, I will take care of it." A glint of brilliance flashed in Qiu Ban's eyes, and then he withdrew.

If Brother Ting knew my current strength, he would probably be greatly shocked

The Heavenly Martial Army?" Lin Feng's eyes suddenly brightened

A life of poverty has tempered Lin Feng's character, making it exceptionally strong, and deep within, he possesses an indomitable resilience and persistence.

... ...

No one can move

The humiliation my younger brother has endured, one day, I will make you repay it tenfold

So many people

In Lin Feng's heart, he naturally hoped that this elder brother, who treated him like a younger brother, would successfully pass the preliminary martial artist assessment

The large door of https://mhetushu.com was pushed open, and a figure with a sullen expression rushed in

Patriarch, Lin Jianglong

However, the most striking figure is not him, but the young girl beside him, dressed in a purple gown. Her graceful steps resemble the delicate bloom of a lotus, her snow-white skin appears as if it could be broken by a gentle touch, and without any makeup, she shines like the morning glow reflecting off the snow. Her beautiful, picturesque face is adorned with bright, star-like eyes, and a crescent-shaped mark on her forehead adds an air of mystery.

The tall, slender man at the forefront wore clothing that was not different in style, only slightly darker in color. What set him apart were the three copper stars, prominently adorned with gold edges, on his shoulder insignia

Everyone has their own fate, and he does not think that Lin Nanhua is particularly good.

In Lin Feng's heart, family is his sacred and inviolable territory

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent, as if time had stopped. Under the gaze of over two hundred pairs of eyes, a grand door, gilded in fiery red, slowly swung open from the depths of the hall, its heavy sound resonating deep within, bringing a sense of oppression.

Then Captain Li and President Meng

Lin Jianglong nodded and said: "Very well, if this matter is successful, you will certainly benefit greatly from it"

Three individuals took their seats, with a bald old man in the middle. Judging by the level of respect shown by the other two towards him, it was evident that he held the highest status among the three.

Lin Feng smiled but did not explain

The row of warriors standing on the left clearly wears attire identical to that of the Heavenly Martial Army soldiers at the town gate

If he were strong enough, would Lin Nanhua dare to provoke him

Looking at Lin Ting, Lin Feng raised the jade token in his hand, on which a clear number was inscribed: "Here, number 235"

Brother Yan

Lin Nanhua harbored immense resentment towards Lin Feng, and in Lin Feng's heart, was it not the same?

Lin Feng wore a faint smile on his face, his eyes filled with unreserved longing. Thinking about the possibility of practicing martial arts and studying here in the future, Lin Feng felt a surge of anticipation in his heart. He curiously surveyed the crowd around him, and his gaze suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure, whose lean physique stood out prominently among the throng.

The three giants of Qihuo Town, in other words, the three most powerful individuals in Qihuo Town, are to me as distant and unattainable as the stars in the sky

Unwilling to concede defeat, unwilling to accept fate

Knock! Knock! The sound of knocking at the door echoed

Lin Fenggang was about to ask a question when his gaze caught sight of Yan Feng and the other three suddenly standing up from their seats. He immediately turned his head to look, only to see two rows of martial artists of various attires entering in an orderly manner through the main door. Their expressions were cold, their steps synchronized, and their imposing presence caused all the other martial artists and apprentices to retreat to the sides, clearing a wide path.

Of course, Lin Ting said in a low voice: "He is not only the steward of the Qihuo Martial Hall, but also ranks alongside Captain Li and President Meng as one of the three giants of Qihuo Town, wielding immense power"

At that time, when the assessment results are released, everything will naturally be known

With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Yan Feng's face instantly broke into a smile. Following his gaze, one could see two figures approaching from a distance, one tall and one short, one in red and the other in purple, creating a striking contrast. Each step seemed to shatter the very fabric of space, their overwhelming presence leaving one breathless

Once I become a martial artist, we all stand on the same starting line, and I refuse to believe that I cannot match you. Even if my talent and aptitude are not as good as yours, I will work harder than you, a hundred times harder, a thousand times harder

Looking at the newcomer, Lin Jianglong furrowed his brows slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of irritation, "How many times have I told you? Why can't you change this careless personality!"

In the lobby

What does it have to do with him again

"As if it were a counterfeit." Lin Feng walked over with a smile, extending his right fist to bump against Lin Ting's.

Father, Father

"It is true, Father!" Lin Nanhua nodded heavily

Staring blankly at the young man in coarse linen clothes before him, Lin Ting shook his head vigorously, as if afraid he had seen it wrong: "Is it really you, kid?"

This is a placeholder text.

"No, Father, I saw Lin Feng!" Lin Nanhua exclaimed urgently

... ...

Pressure surged, but Lin Feng quickly returned to normal, breaking into a carefree smile

Lin Nanhua, perhaps my strength is not as great as yours at present, but one day, I will surely be stronger than you

"He has arrived." Lin Ting said softly.

"Impossible!" Without a moment's thought, Lin Jianglong decisively rejected the idea. After a brief pause, a hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes as he said in a deep voice: "Even if he arrives at Qihuo Town through the teleportation array, without an identity token, he cannot enter the gates guarded by the Tianwu Army."

Group 24? Lin Ting nodded thoughtfully and said: "This should be the last group. As far as I know, the number of participants in this year's preliminary martial artist assessment is about this much. However, there are also quite a few martial artist apprentices like you who decided to participate at the last moment to gain some experience of the world"

Third floor of Qihuo Wutang

As long as I pass the assessment, I will be able to practice martial arts and cultivate here in the future

2%, which means that the punching power must reach at least 612 to meet the standard. Lin Jianglong's brows furrowed deeply, and the number 603 suddenly flashed in his mind from Lin Feng's strength tester. A cold smile crept across his lips as he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, remember, his name is Lin Feng"

Long time no see

Lin Fengqing let out a soft "Oh," his gaze filled with surprise, for among the three individuals, he unexpectedly recognized a familiar figure.

Just come over like that

The two quickly began to chat, seemingly unaware that in a corner of the crowd, a pair of eyes filled with deep resentment were glinting coldly, resembling a hungry wolf.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, yet he did not feel envious

... ...

Upon entering the main gate, Lin Feng looked around. It was a spacious and grand martial arts arena, with a wooden style that exuded freshness and natural comfort. It was at least ten times larger than the martial arts hall in Linjia Village, with a height of over twenty meters on just one floor, accommodating thousands of people without feeling crowded.

There is nothing to be surprised about. Lin Ting lowered his voice beside me and said: The clan leader is one of the managers of the Qi Huo Wu Hall, wielding considerable power. When we arrived, Lin Nanhu was full of confidence, seemingly determined to secure that one spot in the Xiao Yang Martial Gate. It is likely that the clan leader has already paved the way for him.

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content

The grandeur of the scene was overwhelming; just the presence of the two rows of martial artists on either side was enough to make one feel breathless. In the center, two men approached with steady strides, becoming the focal point of everyone's attention. One was a tall, slender man dressed in formal attire, his expression serious; the other was slightly plump, wearing a friendly smile.

How are you, A-Feng

It will be troublesome at that time

Ah, A Feng?! Lin Ting opened his mouth wide, momentarily taken aback

How did you get here!

Thank you, manager. Upon hearing this, Qiu Ban felt a surge of joy, and the mouse-like spots on his smiling face appeared even more grotesque.

Three years, a full three years! As for me now, even if I still cannot match Lin Nanhua, I should not be far off.

He was a towering figure, standing at least two meters tall, with a robust physique, clad in a long robe of fiery red. The entire person seemed like a sharp battle blade, instilling a sense of trepidation.

He should be the Captain Li mentioned by Brother Ting

As long as he can perform to his full potential, he will be able to pass the assessment; as for the others...

Standing in front of the Qihuo Martial Arts Hall and observing the bustling crowd, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit dazed. Although he had heard from Zeng Yang that over 200 people were coming to participate in the assessment, seeing it with his own eyes was an entirely different experience, especially considering that each person here possessed considerable strength

There is one more thing. Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lin Jianglong paused for a moment, his eyes flickering, "If I say I want to reduce the energy stone's sensitivity, is that feasible"
