One, a First Grade Star?
Everyone was staring dumbfoundedly at the star phantom writhing like a small snake in midair.
They couldn't believe it, especially the old folks from the Lin Family, who seemed as if they had turned to stone at that moment.
Their Young Master of the Lin Family actually awakened the most worthless First Grade Star?
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter."
Suddenly, a youth burst out laughing, sensing that it might be inappropriate at this moment and place, he immediately shut his mouth, but many people had already noticed him.
"It's Hua Gang, the number one talent of the Hua Family!"
"I heard he's a Sixth Grade Star, but speaking of which, I didn't see it wrong, right? This, this is really the Young Master of the Lin Family?"
"This is going to be a big deal, it's a First Grade Star, and Lin Feng, as the Young Master of the Lin Family, holds a special status, yet he only communicated with such a worthless star."
"With this level, he's not even as good as Zhang Erzhu, the cowherd in the neighbouring village who has a Second Grade big buffalo star. Lin Feng can't even compare to a mountain village youth, it's a huge embarrassment."
Lin Feng, looking at the phantom that was gradually dissipating in the air, gave a faint smile. Demon Dragon Star, I didn't expect to have to start over with you, but it's alright, at least in this lifetime I can take many fewer detours. Perhaps a General Level is no longer the endpoint.
Lin Feng directly filtered out the various looks of shock, disbelief, mockery, etc. from the crowd, and indifferently walked down from the testing platform. Facing him, Lin Panghu's mouth was gaping wide; seeing Lin Feng, he gave a thumbs up, speaking heartlessly, "Awesome, you've stolen the spotlight again."
Sometimes Lin Feng didn't understand if Lin Panghu also had fat growing inside his brain, calling this capturing attention? But perhaps because of this heartless demeanor, he was one of the few friends Lin Feng could talk to within the family.
He smiled and said, "What's awesome, I guess I'm about to be ridiculed."
Lin Panghu was stunned, "Who dares to ridicule you? You are the Young Master of the Lin Family, do they have the guts?"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly; in the past, due to his prestigious identity, they certainly wouldn't dare, but now, who knows?
"Lin Feng, you really bring honor to our Lin Family, the mere Young Master of the Lin Family, yet you communicated with a First Grade Star?"
As soon as Lin Panghu finished speaking, a handsome youth approached, dressed in a black outfit with a longsword on his back and wearing cowhide boots, looking spirited and imposing.
He was the top talent of the Lin Family, Lin Zihua, born humble, but with a remarkable cultivation talent, even more so than Lin Feng, now already at the Seventh Layer of Martial Apprenticeship, and soon his name would be known throughout Boyang City.
As he came over, because at this Star Ceremony, he had communicated with an Eighth Grade Star and stood out from the rest.
Lin Feng looked at him indifferently; Lin Panghu seemed not to expect that Lin Feng's words were so prophetic, truly someone had come to mock his good buddy, and after being briefly stunned, he was about to explode in anger, but Lin Zihua simply ignored him, coldly glancing at Lin Feng, "I'm curious, the Star Tower guarded by the three families will open in half a month, I wonder whether the Young Master of the Lin Family with merely a First Grade Star will attend. But after all, you are the Young Master of the Lin Family, I suppose the Family Head will surely find a way to pull strings for you by then. I'm just curious as to what status you will appear with in front of the three families."
Saying so, an ironic smile hung on his face as he stepped onto the testing platform, and he was next.
"This Lin Zihua truly knows no bounds in his arrogance, how dare a mere collateral descendant disciple mock you? Want me to teach him a lesson for you?" Lin Panghu rolled up his sleeves and said fiercely.
Lin Feng shook his head and glanced at the retreating figure of Lin Zihua. This man, he himself must deal with personally, not because of his mockery, but because of the series of disloyal acts he committed against the Lin Family, even nearly causing his own father's death.
But that was all in the future. Right now, what Lin Feng needed to do was to find every possible way to enhance his strength first.
As for the Star Tower that Lin Zihua mentioned, it is an ancient relic located in the Seven Star Valley, guarded jointly by the Lin Family of Boyang City and two other major families. It opens once a year, at which time, each family provides ten spots for disciples who have just successfully connected with a Star.
Inside the Star Tower, one could gain significant benefits. Basically, the youths who enter the Star Tower come out far ahead of others.
In his past life, he missed out because he was too scared to face the ridicule of others, causing him to only start catching up half a year later; in this life, the Star Tower was the first steppingstone on his life's path, crucially important, and Lin Feng must enter.
Later on, Lin Feng couldn't care less about what happened at the Star Ceremony; he had already gone back inside to fetch some money. As the second young master of the Lin Family, other people of his age at most had a dozen or so Gold Pearls on them, but he directly had over a hundred, all secretly given by his father.
Lin Feng had been hoarding these without using them. By the afternoon, when he was about to go out to buy some things, everyone in the entire mansion was discussing the morning's events.
"Did you hear? Young Master Lin Zihua has connected with an Eighth Grade Star!"
"Wow, that's impressive, and Miss Lin Mo'er connected with a Sixth Grade Star as well!"
"Look, there's Young Master Lin Feng!"
"What Young Master? He's just trash, a First Grade Star trash, utterly disgraceful, he doesn't deserve to be our young master."
"That's right, that's right. Now the whole Boyang City knows, our great Lin Family's young master has only connected with a First Grade Star, it's so embarrassing. If I were him, I really wouldn't have the face to meet relatives from the family, I'd rather just jump into a well and end it!"
A group of servants whispered and quickly walked away.
Lin Feng contemplated in his mind, right now, in order to seek revenge against the Empress Hongxiu, he must do everything possible to crazily enhance his strength.
With this thought, Lin Feng directly took out about a hundred Gold Pearls and prepared to leave the mansion.
"Oh, isn't this our Young Master Lin Feng?"
A playful laugh came. Lin Feng turned around only to see a youth in white clothes laughing and walking over. Seeing him, Lin Feng frowned slightly, genuinely unable to recall who he was.
"Who are you?"
The expression of the young man in white suddenly changed, ignored—Lin Feng, just a First Grade Star trash, dared to ignore him? He didn't even know his name, Lin Dao.
"Young Master Lin Feng really does forget important people, weren't you shocked by the powerful Star Power of the First Grade Star? You haven't come to your senses yet, right? But it's understandable; at that time, everyone was very shocked, nearly scared to death. A First Grade Star, tsk tsk, indeed impressive."
He emphasized the word "powerful" very heavily, the mockery obvious to any fool.
Lin Feng responded with a light smile, not even slightly angry, and said half-jokingly, "From your tone, it sounds like you've connected with a pretty decent Star, seems like a reversal of fortune for you."
"That's right, I've connected with the Fourth Grade Fiery Flame Saber Star and with my Saber Technique, I can take down ten of your kind without breaking a sweat!" Lin Dao proclaimed proudly. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized what Lin Feng meant by 'reversal of fortune', was Lin Feng mocking him as a stinking salted fish?
Ignoring the fury in his eyes, Lin Feng calmly said, "Some people are born kings and live as kings, while others are born as salted fish, even if they flip over, they're still salted fish. Someone like you, even if you've connected with a Fourth Grade Star, you are still not enough in my eyes!!"
