Chapter 291: Chapter 219: Who Is Lin Feng’s Biological Father

Lin Feng’s answer always catches everyone off guard; no one expected him to directly challenge before a live broadcast.

Even Zhan Tianyu didn’t expect it.

What truly surprised the netizens was the distinct difference in reactions to Lin Feng’s challenge from the two teams.

On the Red Cloud side, the main lineup seemed very calm about their captain’s decision; they had no objections and were even eager.

In contrast, the Great Wall Team’s five main members showed slight changes in their expressions, some frowned slightly, while others smirked.

Meanwhile, Zhan Tianyu’s expression was somewhat unpleasant.

He initially thought his response would embarrass Lin Feng, but he didn’t expect Lin Feng to counter with another challenge.

Now, faced with the gaze of reporters and prominent figures present, he was slightly embarrassed.

Zhan Tianyu glanced at his teammates without showing any signs; they were all somewhat annoyed and impatient.

Based on their expressions, they clearly didn’t want to clash prematurely before the preliminaries, even though they were confident in their strength, no one wanted to take risks.

Lin Feng’s team replaced the original Red Cloud Team, so their strength couldn’t be weak.

Such confidence evidently stemmed from solid capabilities.

Moreover, even if they defeated the opponent, their Soul Power would be severely depleted, or they might get injured; if severely injured, their main positions would be replaced by substitutes.

No one wanted to make a mistake at such a crucial stage; Yang Ningbing was once eliminated like this and returned to Shangjing embarrassed.

“Haha.”

Seeing Zhan Tianyu look constipated, his face filled with discomfort, Huang Tianze couldn’t help but laugh.

The laughter attracted a lot of attention, naturally drawing Zhan Tianyu’s gaze; he looked at Huang Tianze, who raised his eyebrows slightly, returning a provocative look.

Zhan Tianyu’s face looked even worse but didn’t dare to create another enemy.

Previously, Lin Feng’s interaction with Huang Tianze had already made him uneasy; if a conflict occurred in the preliminaries, the Great Wall Team would really be in trouble.

His teammates clearly thought of this too; their gaze towards Captain Zhan Tianyu carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Zhan Tianyu somewhat regretted provoking Lin Feng.

This kid is crazy.

And for some reason, his teammates are willing to go crazy with him.

“Do you have any response to Lin Feng’s challenge, Zhan Tianyu?”

The fat reporter was not willing to miss this news and pursued further questions.

Zhan Tianyu took the microphone, just about to say something, but was stopped by the coach; a quiet warning reached his ears: “You don’t have the right to decide for the team, shut up, or you’ll be a substitute.”

A single sentence made Zhan Tianyu swallow his words, he didn’t resist, allowing the coach to take the microphone.

At this moment, Zhan Tianyu had no intention of challenging the coach.

Though he was the team captain, it didn’t mean the team couldn’t do without him.

The three substitutes were not mere ornaments.

“Alright, this is merely a minor conflict; for all teams, the preliminaries are a rare opportunity for advancement. If there’s any conflict, meet on the final stage.”

The coach responded in place of Zhan Tianyu.

Though somewhat disappointed, the fat reporter didn’t continue asking; Zhan Tianyu’s silence symbolized cowardice, marking the end of this topic.

“This kid is really arrogant!”

“In your youth, if you had Lin Feng’s strength, you might have been even more arrogant!”

“Indeed, a bit arrogant. If the Great Wall Team accepted the challenge, I’m afraid the Red Cloud Team would really be in trouble.”

“Haha, having confidence and strength naturally allows for arrogance; courage is also part of one’s strength.”

“Rather be shattered jade than intact tile; only then will enemies be afraid!”

“Arrogance is better; it’s better than being timid.”

Several prominent figures whispered to each other.

Regarding Lin Feng’s arrogance and confidence, some felt disregard, but most still admired it.

Confidence and ferocity are sometimes more important than strength.

Generally speaking, those with courage have a higher probability of becoming strong, not easily betraying their beliefs, or becoming traitors.

Below, Bu Zheng held a wine glass, quietly standing in a corner, seeing Lin Feng and Zhan Tianyu confront each other, his usually serious expression couldn’t hide a hint of a smile.

Seemingly recalling something.

In a VIP seat, a middle-aged man dressed in black martial arts attire, appearing to be in his forties, sat on a sofa, surrounded by seven or eight others like stars supporting the moon.

Occasionally someone would approach, slightly bowing, greeting him.

The man appeared somewhat arrogant, didn’t stand up to face those who greeted him, only waved his hand dismissively; evidently careless, yet the visitors didn’t mind, rather thought it fitting, clearly indicating the man’s high status.

The man’s name is Zhan Xuan, a flag character of the Zhan Race within the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, just like Yang Qing, he’s known as one of Shangjing’s ten geniuses.

Currently, he’s one of Shangjing’s Guardians, a Martial King Powerhouse.

With an eminent background, formidable strength, and a high position, he naturally has many approaching, trying to curry favor.

And Zhan Tianyu is his nephew, which is one of the reasons for his attendance at this press conference.

Regarding the conflicts between the two youngsters, he didn’t care, seemingly bored, Zhan Xuan casually observed around, soon slightly stunned, noticing an interesting target in a remote corner.

Zhan Xuan stood up and slowly walked towards Bu Zheng.

“Bu Yuanlong, it’s been over ten years since we last met, hasn’t it? Just now, I almost didn’t recognize you!”

The man came in front of Bu Zheng, observing him with a seemingly puzzled look and said, “How have you been lately? Why aren’t you staying at Red Cloud University and instead came out here?”

Regarding the man’s arrival, Bu Zheng glanced at him. Aside from a slight frown, he didn’t have much of a reaction, but this indifferent attitude clearly showed he wasn’t welcome.

“What’s wrong, are you so cold even when seeing old friends?” Zhan Xuan asked.

Bu Zheng responded indifferently, “It’s been so many years and you’re still just as annoying!”

Unconcerned by Bu Zheng’s hostility, Zhan Xuan smiled, “You’re the same, just as arrogant. Watching these young ones, do you feel nostalgic?

Back then, you were acknowledged by the media as a super genius! A future Martial Emperor, known as the Little Dragon King; even among the Alien Race, your reputation was significant. But who would have thought… you should indeed come out more, or else there’s not much time left to see anything good.”

This malicious attack did not cause any change in Bu Zheng’s expression. He looked at Zhan Xuan and said indifferently, “I had initially planned to go to the Divine Martial Continent before my time, but now I’ve slightly changed my mind. Before I die, you better pray not to encounter me.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xuan’s face remained unchanged, acting as if he didn’t care, yet in his heart, he felt a slight chill.

He was already a Martial King powerhouse, but at that moment, facing Bu Zheng’s threat, he felt a tinge of fear.

Those who practice the Divine Level cultivation technique “Fish Dragon Transformation” don’t live long.

Bu Zheng managed to persist until now due to his extraordinary talent.

However, even so, he doesn’t have much time left. Now hiding at Red Cloud University, he’s avoiding battles, quietly waiting for death’s approach.

But being near death does not mean his strength isn’t formidable.

Though it can be certain that Bu Zheng hasn’t broken through to Martial King, ten years ago, he, a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, had slaughtered a Martial King powerhouse.

Now, in ten years’ time, Bu Zheng hasn’t made a move, so no one knows his true strength.

Yet, no one wishes to find out Bu Zheng’s strength as that would signal his final frenzy.

Facing Bu Zheng’s threat, Zhan Xuan smiled, not daring to provoke him further, who knows if Bu Zheng might go mad and drag him to hell before dying.

It’s better to leave that opportunity to the Alien Race.

“That’s Yang Qing’s child, did you know?”

Zhan Xuan shifted the topic, looking at Lin Feng.

“How do you know?”

Although he had suspected it, hearing this news still shocked Bu Zheng. However, he quickly understood why Zhan Xuan knew.

Zhan Xuan’s cousin married Yang Qing, and as both clans are among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, the Zhan Family and the Yang Family had been allied for a long time, so it wasn’t surprising Zhan Xuan knew.

Understanding this, Bu Zheng realized this was likely the reason for Zhan Tianyu’s provocation of Lin Feng, leading Lin Feng to take action.

“It’s from the Yang Race.”

Zhan Xuan explained, “All the elders from the Yang Race know about it, so it’s not really a secret. I’ve heard Yang Qing even went to Red Cloud once, didn’t you meet him?”

“I met him, but he didn’t say anything,” Bu Zheng replied.

“Yang Qing obtained a key, likely breaking through to Martial King by now,” Zhan Xuan sighed, his tone carrying a hint of envy.

A key is a treasure, even for a Martial King, it’s a treasure.

Possessing a key not only means having a valuable treasury, but it also indicates Yang Qing’s chances of breaking through to the Emperor Realm are much higher than his.

“I’m not as good as him, when we were young, he was already stronger than me, there’s no way around it, but I never thought even his illegitimate child would be so dazzling. I heard this child is very proud and unwilling to return to the Yang Race, what a pity.”

Zhan Xuan admired Lin Feng; such an outstanding genius is a guarantee for a family’s continuance and prosperity.

“Yang Qing will regret it!” Bu Zheng said faintly.

Lin Feng has a terrifying comprehension of Alien Race Technique, a talent unimaginable.

Divine Level cultivation techniques, King Level techniques, multiple techniques layered, as long as he doesn’t fall in the future, Lin Feng will definitely become a Martial King, perhaps even a Martial Emperor powerhouse.

At this moment, everyone underestimated Lin Feng.

Within a few years, when Lin Feng truly displays his talent, he will shock the world.

He will be far more terrifying than Yang Qing, who once shone brightly.

And the Yang Race will definitely regret it.

They’re giving up not just an illegitimate child, but a family’s future.

Zhan Xuan was slightly stunned, not understanding why Bu Zheng had such high regard for Lin Feng, but he didn’t dwell on it too much.

Indeed, the Yang Race should be regretful already.

But to say very regretful might be an exaggeration too.

After all, the Demon Spirit Lin Feng refined was only a First Grade, not an Earth Chart Demon Spirit.

Even as a Martial Arts Demon Fiend, he’s still incomparable to Ye Qiu and others.

The Ten Great Clans of Shangjing are not short of geniuses.

A single genius cannot change much.

After the initial tense confrontation, further questions from reporters seemed somewhat dull and uninteresting.

But that’s normal too.

Because the purpose of this press conference is mainly to showcase the talents of various universities, allowing the nation to recognize them.

The half-hour press conference soon ended, with netizens passionately discussing why Lin Feng was so domineering while ridiculing Zhan Tianyu for being cowardly and scared at the same time a piece of news about ’Who is Lin Feng’s biological father?’ quietly started a heated debate online and in forums.
