Shenwu Continent.
Dragon King Palace.
The palace was majestic, and its golden roof was splendid. An old man stood on the ground that was paved with white jade. He held a piece of paper in his hand, and his head was bowed as if he was reporting something.
Across from the old man, there was a huge throne inlaid with jade atop a tall flight of stairs. Sitting on the throne was a sturdy young man dressed in golden robes. He had a single horn on his head, and his gaze was sharp as a knife.
"After disappearing for two years, there's finally news?" The young man could not help but stand up when he heard his subordinate's report.
The young man was around 2.45 meters tall, and when paired with his sturdy physique, he looked like a small giant.
If Lin Feng saw him, he would have recognized the young man immediately. This was Hai Wei, who he had met in the Monster Spirit Realm.
He was the grandson of the invincible Dragon King.
At this moment, Hai Wei's eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement.
It was as if he had seen a prey.
Two years was neither short nor long, and it was enough time for him to forget many things. However, he had never forgotten the youth who had injured him and almost killed him.
He would often think about the youth.
Not only did he miss the youth, but he had also specially sent people to Hongyun University to collect information on Lin Feng and observe his movements.
Now, after waiting for two years, he had finally received news of Lin Feng.
"He participated in the National University Tournament of Glory as soon as he returned. It seems that he has become much stronger."
Hai Wei naturally knew about the National University Tournament of Glory, and he even had a human phone and tablet. Although Shenwu Continent did not have an internet connection, he could watch the tournament as long as he downloaded it from the human world in advance.
Hai Wei had watched videos of the tournament, and some of the top geniuses were not much inferior to him in terms of talent and strength. Even if he encountered them, he would have to treat them with caution.
Hai Wei liked to study human culture and technology.
This was knowledge that many foreign races needed to understand.
After all, this was the world that they would invade in the future.
Electric lights, telephones, computers, and the internet were all mysterious technologies that did not exist on Shenwu Continent, and Hai Wei was very interested in them.
He even knew a bit of the Chinese language, as well as a few letters and numbers.
However, compared to human culture and technology, he preferred to study human geniuses.
Because those people would become his future opponents.
Linfeng, Qi Wu, Zhou Chengfeng, Yunkai, and Ye Qiu … all of them could be his future opponents. As for the geniuses of the Western World, they were people that the Western Continent needed to pay attention to.
"Fourth soul skill?
Are you saying that Linfeng's doppelganger soul skill is his fourth soul skill? "Hai Wei asked in astonishment.
"Yes, according to our sources, Lin Feng said it himself."
"You may leave for now. Continue to pay attention to Linfeng's movements and report back to me at any time."
Hai Wei waved his hand and dismissed his men.
"Interesting, very interesting. That doppelganger soul skill is the second soul skill he absorbed in the Demon Spirit Realm. His first soul skill is Mirror Image.
Looks like I guessed right. This Lin Feng has a secret, a big secret. "
After his subordinates left, Hai Wei was a bit excited, and there was a trace of curiosity and desire in his eyes.
When Lin Feng had unleashed his doppelganger soul skill, he knew that Lin Feng was hiding a secret.
Because even he had only absorbed a purple-gold soul skill, which was his fifth soul skill.
His first soul skill to his fourth soul skill were all gold-gold soul skills.
But Linfeng had absorbed a purple-gold soul skill in his first soul skill.
Extraordinary talent?
Hai Wei didn't believe it.
He was very confident in his own talent. Even if Linfeng was stronger than him, it was impossible for him to achieve this.
Even his grandfather, the invincible Dragon King, couldn't absorb a purple-gold soul skill in his first soul skill.
Hai Wei looked at his slave, Zhang Shengyuan, who was also a genius of the human race, and asked, "Zhang Shengyuan, guess why Linfeng deliberately hid this fact."
"Absorbing a purple-gold soul skill in his first soul skill. This has never happened before. It's too shocking. If it's a fourth soul skill, although rare, there have been super geniuses who have succeeded before. It's not impossible."
A trace of worry flashed through Zhang Shengyuan's heart, but he didn't hesitate to answer Hai Wei's gaze.
He knew that Hai Wei was very interested in Linfeng.
It wasn't only because Linfeng had almost killed him, but also because he was interested in Linfeng's secret.
He even wanted to seize this secret.
Although this was only a guess of Hai Wei's.
But it was because of this guess that he killed all 16 foreign races who collected demon spirits in the Demon Spirit World.
Not a single one was left alive.
In order to hide Linfeng's information.
To hide this secret!
"Linfeng can't refine high-grade demon spirits, but he can let a first-grade demon spirit absorb a purple-gold soul skill. Don't you think this secret is very interesting?"
At this moment, Hai Wei couldn't wait to meet Linfeng.
Back then, he wanted to find Linfeng.
However, Linfeng had disappeared for two years. He couldn't get any news and had no way to find him.
Now, Linfeng had returned.
He believed that he would meet Linfeng soon.
At that time, Linfeng's secret, or treasure, would change owners.
.....
Shang Jing, Yang Family.
In a room, the seven elders of the Yang Family, including the Patriarch, were having a meeting. The topic of discussion was Linfeng.
The matter of Hongyun University had already spread. Although it was only a challenge from a youngster, it was related to the Battle of Glory of the nation's universities. It wasn't a small matter.
As for Linfeng's identity, it had already spread throughout the Yang Family.
"Patriarch, Linfeng is your grandson. Why didn't you let him return to the family? Now, he wants to snatch Ningbing's position!"
The one who spoke was an old man. He was Yang Ningbing's grandfather. Therefore, he was the most anxious about this matter.
He was worried that his precious granddaughter's position would be snatched away.
"That's right. Why didn't you care about such a super genius and just let him roam outside?"
"Right now, the most important thing is to let Linfeng publicly announce his withdrawal of this challenge. If the media finds out, it will be a joke."
Many elders were discussing.
When they heard about Linfeng's identity, they were shocked and astonished.
Who would have thought that the college entrance examination's top scorer would be the illegitimate son of the Yang Family?
Moreover, he was Yang Qing's son.
Yang Qing was a genius of the family. Although he had yet to break through to Martial King, his strength was stronger than ordinary Martial Kings because of his dual cultivation.
Who would have thought that his son's talent was even more monstrous than his?
If it wasn't for the fact that this matter had blown up, they would still be in the dark.
"Return? Do you think he'll return just because you want him to?"
Facing the pressure from the elders, Yang Qingtian laughed. There was a trace of anger in his laughter.
As a Soul King expert, Yang Qingtian, who had lived for over a hundred years, felt that he was a joke.
Back then, when Linfeng displayed his talent, he hoped that Linfeng would return to the family. He even followed Linfeng's request and asked Yang Qing to ask Linfeng to return to the family.
Later, when Linfeng refined a Grade One Demon Spirit, the matter was left unsettled and he gave up on Linfeng.
Now, after two years, Linfeng had returned. Not only did he display his Purple-Gold Soul Skill, he even challenged Yang Ningbing to snatch her position in the team.
If she lost, Yang Ningbing wouldn't be able to participate in the National University's Battle of Glory.
This was a fatal blow to the most important genius of the family.
It would directly affect Yang Ningbing's future development.
Not only that, the Yang Family's efforts and arrangements in Hongyun University over the past few years would all be in vain.
Yang Ningbing was able to become the president of the Student Union. Other than her own strength and being the captain of the Hongyun Team, the Yang Family had also paid a price.
A price that was in the billions.
If Yang Ningbing was defeated, she would lose her halo. Even if she graduated, how would she have the qualifications to arrange for her family members to sit in the positions of the seven department heads?
How could Yang Qingtian not be furious?
At this moment, he felt as if he had been played by Linfeng.
Opposite Yang Qingtian, Yang Qing looked at his furious father and frowned.
This matter surprised him as well.
But what was the use of being angry?
"Are we too pessimistic? The Hongyun Team is so strong, they won't lose!" A woman in her forties or fifties said.
"That's right, Ningbing is now at the peak of the fifth grade and has absorbed five Soul Skills. Two are silver and three are gold. Her combination is perfect. Moreover, the strength of her teammates is similar to her. How can Linfeng's team be a match for them?"
Someone echoed, but was quickly refuted. "That Linfeng has never failed since he emerged. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have publicly declared war on such an occasion."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Yang Qingtian agreed with this statement.
Linfeng was good at creating miracles.
However, things had already come to this, and this challenge could no longer be stopped.
At this moment, Yang Qingtian was more or less regretful.
How good would it be if he didn't give up on Linfeng!
Then, the family would have an invincible genius of the same level!
"No matter what, the blood of the family flows in his body. Since Linfeng has misunderstood the family, the one who started the trouble should end it," the fifth elder said.
The Fifth Elder said. At this time, everyone looked at the silent middle-aged man in the corner.
That man was Yang Qing.
Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Qing's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that child to put him in such an awkward situation again and again.
Even though she really wanted to leave the banquet, Yang Qing could only endure her father's gaze. In the end, under the provocation of the elders, Yang Qing hesitated for a long time before she finally said slowly, "Alright, I'll leave for the forest now. I'll go see him!"
