Special thanks to Patrick D, Lachlan B & likyliky for sponsoring this chapter.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter, I made sure to end with some action…….and a tiny cliffhanger xoxox

Lin Hai looked embarrassed. Lin Feng had already shown more strength than expected. He felt gratified but Lin Ba Dao’s proposal was insane. Even if Lin Feng managed to defeat Lin Hong, what would happen during the final? Lin Ba Dao wanted to see Lin Feng die by the hands of one of his children.

“What’s going on? The Head of my Clan cannot show some courage and resolution. Allow our juniors to show what they are capable of in a real battle.” Lin Ba Dao said when he saw that Lin Hai was hesitant and not replying.

“Father, hurry up and accept.” Said Lin Feng

Lin Feng couldn’t help but shiver a little bit. Lin Feng’s family had never done wrong to Lin Ba Dao’s family and had never considered them as enemies, they even considered them as close relatives but Lin Ba Dao’s family was constantly trying to manipulate Lin Hai and would constantly make attempts on Lin Feng’s life. Since they wanted to do things in such a way, Lin Feng’s would have to return the favor.

Lin Hai looked at Lin Ba Dao’s expression. He looked extremely confident. Lin Hai just said one word: “Alright.”

“Alright, Lin Hai definitely deserves to be the Head of the Clan. He’s brave. Since the Clan Head has agreed, let’s get started! Sixth Elder, allow Lin Qian and Lin Hen to fight first, please.” Lin Ba Dao looked high-spirited and vigorous. He was feeling very satisfied. Since Lin Hai had accepted, everyone just had to wait and see.

“Ok.” Said the Sixth Elder while nodding.

“You should give up. You cannot defeat me.” Said Lin Qian while getting on the fighting stage. She was dusting off her red robes which remained untouched, she looked insufferably arrogant.

“Even if I cannot defeat you, we still have to fight to determine the results.” Lin Hen said preparing to start fighting. He released his fire spirit and the atmosphere became unbelievably hot. Heat roared from the stage and the whole crowd could feel warmth on their faces.

“Your spirit has also awakened, not bad. What a pity though that it’s only a fire spirit. It isn’t worth much. You still won’t have a chance when fighting against me.” Said Lin Qian in a cold and detached tone. On the path of Cultivation, one of the major steps was to reach the Ling Qi layer and then to have one’s spirit awaken. Some people’s spirit became much stronger when it awoke and where as some spirits did not vary much from others and were just average strength.

After being awakened, Lin Qian’s universal ice and fire spirit had become infinitely stronger. Her control over the elements of ice and fire had reached new heights.

Her universal ice and fire spirit appeared behind her back. The clear ice was covered in flames. The raging flames were covering the ice and the fire seemed to be emitting frost at the same time. The atmosphere was sometimes extremely hot, sometimes extremely cold, it was an extremely strange feeling for the crowd who continued to feel the altering temperatures.

“I had heard that Lin Qian’s universal ice and fire spirit was about to awaken. It wasn’t only a rumor. It really is an awakened spirit. She really is the genius of the Lin Clan. Lin Feng, that piece of trash, is not even worthy of her attention.”

“Exactly. No wonder so many of the elders support her. Besides, the universal ice and fire spirit is a high class spirit. She can practice fire as well as ice techniques. Which can also greatly improve her agility techniques, by combining knowledge of fire and ice based techniques and using them simultaneously. She will definitely become a powerful practitioner.”

When Lin Ba Dao heard these clan members whisper about his daughter, he couldn’t help but have a huge smile on his face. All the elders next to him were also smiling.

“Everlasting Snow!”

Lin Qian had said in an apathetic tone. The ground turned into ice. A white fog was rising in all directions and formed clouds which emanated an icy aura.

Ice has a restraining effect on fire, therefore Lin Qian had used an ice skill to counter Lin Hen.

“Scorching Magma.” Shouted Lin Hen. He opened his hand and there was a blazing hot fireball in his palm.

“Ice Spike.” Said Lin Qian contented and not scared at all. Ice collapsed into Lin Hen’s hand and in an instant, his hand was enclosed within a layer of ice.

“Ignite.” Said Lin Hen while coughing because of the ice within the air which hurt his lungs. The ice turned into vapor which froze the air making it hard to breathe. Lin Hen’s hand was extreme painful, he couldn’t tell exactly where the pain was but he had the feeling his head was going to explode.

“BOOOM!”

A sudden explosion and Lin Hen was sent flying backwards. The center of his palm was burned black. The flesh and blood of his hand was in terrible shape.

“Lin Hen.” Said the Sixth Elder with worry.

“I’m alright.” Said Lin Hen while biting his lip. He was shivering and his jaw could not stop moving, one could hear the sound of his clacking teeth. He was enduring a strong and violent pain. The pain in his hand was agonizing as the ice was trying to freeze the wound causing even greater pain.

“We will have a rematch in the future.” Said Lin Hen while staring at Lin Qian. He then turned around and left. It made his father sigh. Even though Lin Hen wasn’t really naturally talented, he was extremely determined and stubborn. He wanted to become a man of overwhelming power. Even if he did not have talent, he would work harder than anyone else to become strong.

“You will never be able to defeat me, give up on trying.” Said Lin Qian arrogant as always. She was going to be so strong in the future that nobody in the Lin Clan would be able to compete with her. If no one could touch her now, how would they in the future when she grew stronger with her spirit.

“Universal fire and ice spirit… She is able to use two elements of antagonistic power in the blink of an eye. Her potential will continue to increase.” Lin Hai was frowning. The stronger Lin Qian was, the more dangerous it became for Lin Feng.

“It’s your turn.” Said Lin Qian while smiling coldly at Lin Feng and then came down off the battle stage.
