Chapter 262: End of the Great Competition! (2/2)

“Hehe, indeed! You’re right. Lin Feng, I know you’re proud, but I have to admit that if Zhuge Hao Nan had challenged you, he would have defeated you. You would have even suffered a crushing defeat,” said Yan Di, smiling wryly.

Lin Feng looked puzzled. Yan Di only had the strength of the fifth Holy Spirit Emperor but he could easily defeat cultivators of the seventh Holy Spirit Emperor layer, like the Great Elder of the Evil Soul Sect. Therefore, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Yan Di was as strong as a cultivator of the eighth Holy Spirit Emperor layer.

Lin Feng was surprised to hear Yan Di praise someone. Yan Di usually acted arrogantly and treated others with disdain.

“Lin Feng, you wonder why Zhuge Hao Nan isn’t ranked, right?” said Yan Di, looking unusually serious.

Lin Feng nodded. Even though he could guess what the reason was, he waited for Yan Di to confirm his thoughts.

Yan Di sighed while touching his left arm, which seemed injured. “I fought against Zhuge Hao Nan. Like me, he wanted to finish first. In the end, I was lucky because I defeated him. Then after that, I won nine more battles, that’s how I finished first.

“After losing against me, he didn’t challenge anymore else. He told me that if he couldn’t finish first, it was useless to continue. He didn’t want to finish second or lower.

“Therefore, be careful, don’t let yourself get carried away by success. There are many truly strong cultivators, you just haven’t bumped into them.”

“Alright, I know. Thanks for your advice, old buddy,” said Lin Feng. Now that he understood Zhuge Hao Nan a little bit better, he could make plans accordingly.

No matter how strong other people were, he had to continue becoming stronger. Nobody could predict the future, right?

“Lin Feng, the competition is over. Get ready to go to the Central Continent now,” said Yan Di. He seemed hesitant, as if he still had something to say, but he didn’t. Of course, it was only for a split second.

When the wind is strong, it can destroy mountains, the moon and the sun shine upon rivers. Lin Feng remembered those sentences from the Nine Yang magic Kung Fu skills he had seen on Earth. Now that he was a cultivator, he understood them.

Even if his enemies were strong, so what? Even if his enemies were dazzling, so what? He was like a strong wind, he was like the sun. He could destroy mountains and illuminate rivers.

Thinking about that, Lin Feng smiled. He glanced at Tang Ye next to him, Tang Ye was precisely nodding and smiling at Lin Feng. Lin Feng was polite and smiled back at him in mutual respect.

After that, Tang Ye left with the other members of the Gods Clan. The six groups had all left the Dark Palace, and were on their way back to the Central Continent.

“Brother, you’re going to the Central Continent now. Have a nice trip. We’re all going back to our respective groups, so I hope we’ll see each other there soon.”
