The news that Lin Feng had defeated Lin Hu spread like wildfire throughout the Lin family. The clansmen who had previously looked down on Lin Feng now began to re - evaluate this former good - for - nothing.
When several elders of the Lin family heard about this, they couldn't help but become interested in Lin Feng. In the family's council hall, several elders sat around, discussing Lin Feng's performance.
"This Lin Feng was actually able to defeat Lin Hu. It seems that he has been hiding his strength," said an elder with white hair, stroking his beard.
"Humph, I don't think so. Although Lin Hu's cultivation level isn't high, Lin Feng really had no cultivation talent before. Maybe he had some fortuitous encounter recently," another elder retorted.
"Anyway, Lin Feng's potential is worth our attention. If he can keep progressing, he will surely contribute to the family in the future," the Grand Elder made a final decision.
At this time, Lin Feng didn't become complacent because of defeating Lin Hu. He returned to his residence and continued to immerse himself in cultivation. He knew very well that his current strength was far from enough, and there were many powerful opponents waiting for him.
As his cultivation deepened, Lin Feng found that his ability to sense and control spiritual energy was getting stronger and stronger. However, at the same time, he encountered a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to introduce more spiritual energy into his body.
Lin Feng decided to go out to find a way to break through. After reporting to the family, he left the Lin family and walked towards the outside of Qingyan City.
In the mountain forest outside the city, Lin Feng searched around. He shuttled through the dense forest, paying attention to every plant and tree around him, hoping to find some clues that would help him break through.
As he walked, Lin Feng came to a secluded valley. A faint layer of mist filled the valley, giving it a mysterious feel. Lin Feng had an idea. He felt that this valley might hide some secrets, so he walked in cautiously.
Not long after entering the valley, Lin Feng heard a slight "rustling" sound. He looked around warily and found a large - sized demonic beast slowly approaching him. The demonic beast resembled a black panther and exuded a powerful aura.
Lin Feng's heart tightened. He knew he was in trouble. The strength of this demonic beast was obviously above his. If he ran away rashly, he was likely to be caught up. So, Lin Feng decided to observe the demonic beast's movements first and look for its flaws.
The demonic beast circled around Lin Feng a few times, as if testing his strength. Suddenly, the demonic beast opened its huge mouth and pounced towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng quickly dodged to the side and condensed spiritual energy, throwing a punch at the demonic beast's head.
The demonic beast nimbly avoided Lin Feng's attack and scratched a wound on Lin Feng's arm with its claws. Blood gushed out instantly. Lin Feng ignored the pain and continued to fight with the demonic beast.
During the intense battle, Lin Feng gradually discovered the attack pattern of the demonic beast. Every time the demonic beast was about to launch a powerful attack, its tail would swing slightly. Lin Feng seized this flaw and waited for the best opportunity to counter - attack.
Finally, the demonic beast prepared to launch an attack again. Its tail swung gently. Lin Feng seized the opportunity, rushed forward quickly, condensed all the spiritual energy in his body, and struck hard at the demonic beast's throat.
The demonic beast couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the vital part. It let out a painful roar, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. After this battle, not only did he have a clearer understanding of his own strength, but he also vaguely felt that he was one step closer to breaking through the bottleneck.
