Three days before the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting, Lin Feng finally succeeded in condensing the Spiritual - Energy Clone. This clone looked exactly like him. Although it seemed illusory, the aura it exuded was almost the same as Lin Feng's. Lin Feng tried to control the clone to conduct attack drills. The clone was as flexible as him, and when it performed "The Green Wood Art", it was flawless and extremely powerful. Lin Feng was overjoyed. His hard work in the past few days had not been in vain. With the help of the Spiritual - Energy Clone, he had a few more chances of winning at the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting.
In the following time, Lin Feng not only consolidated the cultivation achievements of the Spiritual - Energy Clone but also adjusted his own state to ensure that he would meet the grand meeting with the best mental outlook. Finally, the day of the opening of the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting arrived.
In the central square of Qingyan City, there was a huge crowd, bustling with excitement. The clan disciples of all major forces in the city, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came one after another. In the center of the square, a large martial - arts stage was built. Mysterious runes were engraved on the stage, emitting a faint glow. These runes could not only ensure that the martial - arts stage would not be damaged in intense battles but also limit the spiritual - power range of the contestants, ensuring the fairness and safety of the competition.
Lin Feng, dressed in a black robe, walked into the square with a heroic bearing. As soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of attention. After all, his rise from a good - for - nothing had become quite well - known in Qingyan City, and everyone was looking forward to his performance at the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting.
In a corner of the square, Lin Feng saw Lin Hu. Lin Hu was chatting and laughing with several clan disciples. When he saw Lin Feng, a flash of jealousy and disdain appeared in his eyes. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Some people really think they can achieve something in this grand meeting. They don't even know their own worth."
Lin Feng pretended not to hear and walked straight to the area where the Lin family was. When the Lin family members saw Lin Feng, they all gave encouraging looks. The Grand Elder walked up, patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, and said, "Lin Feng, don't be nervous. Do your best. The family believes in you."
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Elder, please rest assured. I, Lin Feng, will not let the family down."
With a melodious bell ringing, the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting officially opened. An old man in a brocade robe stepped onto the martial - arts stage. He was the host of this grand meeting and a highly respected senior in Qingyan City. The old man looked around and said loudly, "Everyone, the Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting in Qingyan City aims to select outstanding young talents and promote exchanges and progress among various forces. I hope all the contestants can uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and show their elegance and strength!"
The crowd below applauded. The old man then announced the competition rules: This grand meeting is divided into three stages: the preliminary round, the semi - final round, and the final round. The preliminary round is an elimination round. Contestants will compete in pairs, and the winners will advance to the semi - final round. The semi - final round adopts a point - system. Points will be accumulated according to the results of the battles, and those with high points will enter the final round. The final round is a one - on - one ring - competition, and the top three will be determined in the end.
After announcing the rules, the old man said loudly, "Well, the preliminary round starts now. Please all the contestants go to the lottery area to draw lots to determine their opponents."
Lin Feng followed the crowd to the lottery area, feeling both nervous and excited. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity for him to prove his strength. He secretly vowed that he must achieve excellent results at this Spirit - Martial Grand Meeting and let everyone know that the former good - for - nothing had now soared to great heights.
