82: Chapter 82 The Clown Was Me!

"Good heavens, I never expected the final winner of the competition to be Lin Feng!"

"Indeed, it's simply unbelievable!"

"Damn it, why didn't I bet on Lin Feng to win? If I had bet on him, I would have made a fortune by now!"

Looking at Lin Feng standing proudly on the stage, the commoners outside the fence were green with regret, beating their chests and stamping their feet, cursing themselves for being blind and not betting on Lin Feng.

Otherwise, with ten-to-one odds, they could have definitely made a killing!

"I remember, that Lin Feng bet on himself to win, right? And he even wagered fifteen thousand taels?"

"Yes, that's true. I was even laughing at him back then, thinking he was a huge joke. Unexpectedly, now that joke has become myself!"

"Indeed, the clown was actually myself!"

Amidst the heated discussions, the commoners gradually left the venue.

Inside the wooden shed!

Hall Master Guo Yunxiao stood up abruptly and cursed loudly, "Trash, a bunch of trash! With so many people, you couldn't even defeat one Lin Feng!"

After saying this, he quickly left his seat, intending to sneak away.

Seeing this, Master Li Badao also stood up and followed behind.

"Two Pavilion Masters, are you leaving?" Commander Chu Xingchen saw this and immediately spoke with a cold sneer!

"Uh... no, no, I just stood up to stretch my muscles and bones!" Hall Master Guo Yunxiao's footsteps came to a sudden halt upon hearing this, and he said with extreme embarrassment.

"Heh, it's good that you aren't leaving!" Commander Chu Xingchen said, "I promised Lin Feng that I would be a witness for him!"

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Feng and Deputy Pavilion Master Wang Xu entered the wooden shed side by side.

"Haha... Lin Feng, well done! You certainly didn't disappoint me!" Hall Master Su Tongtian stood up abruptly, took a few quick strides, rushed to Lin Feng in a flash, and patted his shoulder with a smile.

The admiration in his eyes was almost overflowing.

For the first time in so many years, Hall Master Su Tongtian felt such a sense of pride and relief.

After all, in the past, the annual Outer Sect Disciple competition always saw Jidao Martial Arts Hall finishing at the bottom.

No one was ever able to win the top spot.

The best result was only second place.

Because of this, they had been suppressed by Badao Martial Arts Hall and Fengyun Martial Arts Hall for over a decade.

Even the number of Disciples they recruited was far less than the other two martial arts halls.

But now, it was different!

After this battle, Lin Feng could be said to have soared into the sky, making a name for himself throughout Qingyun County.

Whenever people mentioned Lin Feng, they couldn't help but talk about the Jidao Martial Arts Hall behind him.

From now on, Jidao Martial Arts Hall would surely be unstoppable and rise rapidly.

Becoming the number one martial arts hall in Qingyun County was just around the corner.

"Heh, Pavilion Master, you flatter me. This is what I should have done!" Lin Feng smiled modestly!

After saying this, his gaze fell upon Hall Master Guo Yunxiao and Master Li Badao, and he said loudly, "Two Pavilion Masters, you haven't forgotten our previous agreement, have you?"

"You..." Hall Master Guo Yunxiao was so angry that his old face turned red upon hearing this, and he said displeased, "Lin Feng, don't go too far..."

"Heh, am I going too far? When you were constantly slandering my Pavilion Master earlier, calling him incompetent and saying he couldn't teach his Disciples well, why didn't you say you were going too far?" Lin Feng sneered coldly!

"..." Hall Master Guo Yunxiao was speechless.

"Alright, Hall Master Guo, Master Li, a bet is a bet. You two come over here and apologize to Pavilion Master Su!" Commander Chu Xingchen stood up and shouted!

Hall Master Guo Yunxiao and Master Li Badao's faces turned the color of liver, and they slowly walked in front of Hall Master Su Tongtian.

Then, the two spoke in low voices, "Sorry, we were wrong. We shouldn't have slandered you like that earlier!"

"Haha, so you aren't saying that I, Su, am incompetent at teaching Disciples anymore?" Hall Master Su Tongtian asked with a laugh.

"..." Hearing this, the two were so ashamed they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

"Alright, you can go. Remember not to be so arrogant in the future!" Hall Master Su Tongtian waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Guo Yunxiao and Master Li Badao felt as if they had been pardoned and immediately scurried away!

They even forgot to discuss who would be second and third place with Commander Chu Xingchen and the others.

"Haha, young friend Lin Feng, congratulations on winning the top spot!" At this moment, Commander Chu Xingchen walked over with big strides and congratulated him with a smile.

Pavilion Master Ji Linger followed behind and smiled charmingly, "Lin Feng, since you won the top spot this time, my Pill Pavilion will be responsible for all the Medicinal Pill you need after you step into the Core Condensation Realm!

Take this token. In the future, when you need Medicinal Pill, you only need to bring this token to the Pill Pavilion to collect what you need!"

After saying this, she flicked her hand and took out a golden token from her Storage Pouch!

On the front were engraved two ancient characters: "Pill Pavilion".

"Many thanks, Pavilion Master!" Lin Feng quickly accepted it.

This token was not light in weight.

Because once Lin Feng stepped into the Core Condensation Realm, he would need a large quantity of coagulation pill, as well as Body Tempering pills for Body Refining.

It was worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Additionally, I also said that whoever wins the top spot in this competition would be granted an extra request. Tell me, what do you want?" Pavilion Master Ji Linger continued.

"Uh... I haven't thought about it yet!" Lin Feng scratched his head, "Can this request be saved for later?"

"Haha, of course, no problem. Once you've thought it through, you can come to the Pill Pavilion to find me at any time. As long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger smiled.

The reason she proactively mentioned this was precisely to build a good relationship with Lin Feng!

Don't look at the fact that Lin Feng is still only in the Spirit Gathering Realm!

But judging from his performance today, his future is absolutely limitless.

Furthermore, Lin Feng is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface.

There must be a huge secret hidden within him.

Otherwise, how could he have used a mere Inferior Root to powerfully defeat peerless Prodigies like Ye Fan and Lin Hao?

However, everyone has their own privacy, and Pavilion Master Ji Linger couldn't easily press him for answers in public!

She planned to find more opportunities to interact with Lin Feng in the future; perhaps she might be able to figure out the secret on him.

After exchanging some pleasantries!

Hall Master Su Tongtian smiled and cupped his hands at Commander Chu Xingchen and Pavilion Master Ji Linger, "Battalion Commander Chu, Pavilion Master Ji, since the competition has ended, shall we take our leave?"

"Hmm, go ahead!" The two nodded in unison!

"Haha, let's go, we're going home!" Hall Master Su Tongtian called out with a smile, and led Lin Feng and the others as they left in a file.

After Lin Feng and his group left, Commander Chu Xingchen looked at Pavilion Master Ji Linger and sighed slightly, "Sigh, I'm afraid that from now on, the sky of our Qingyun County will completely change!"

"Indeed, Jidao Martial Arts Hall has produced that dark horse, Lin Feng. As long as Lin Feng doesn't fall prematurely, from now on, the entire Qingyun County will regard Jidao Martial Arts Hall as the supreme authority!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger nodded in deep agreement.

Commander Chu Xingchen scanned his surroundings, and discovering that there was no one around, he immediately took a step forward and lowered his voice, "Surely you have guessed that Lin Feng must be hiding a shocking secret, right?"

"Hmm, what about it?" Pavilion Master Ji Linger's eyes flashed, and she asked instead of answering!

"Heh, aren't you curious about what that secret is?" Commander Chu Xingchen asked with burning eyes.

"What? Are you very curious?" Pavilion Master Ji Linger asked with a cold sneer.

"Haha..." Commander Chu Xingchen laughed it off and didn't say anything else!

"I advise you best not to have any designs on Lin Feng, otherwise, Hall Master Su Tongtian will definitely fight you to the death!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger warned.

Pavilion Master Ji Linger knew Commander Chu Xingchen quite well.

Once he showed this expression, it meant that he had developed covetous thoughts regarding Lin Feng's secret.

"Haha, how could that be?" Commander Chu Xingchen gave a perfunctory reply and quickly turned to leave.

After moving away from Pavilion Master Ji Linger, Commander Chu Xingchen muttered to himself, "My cultivation has been stagnant at the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm for three long years, and I have been unable to touch the threshold of the Innate Realm no matter what!

Perhaps the secret on Lin Feng could help me break through to the next realm?"
