After winning his first battle in the preliminary round, Lin Feng wasn't carried away by the victory. He returned to the area where the Lin family was located, took a short rest, and then started to review his battle with Chen Yu, summarizing his experience and lessons. He knew very well that the opponents in the following rounds would be more and more powerful, and he couldn't afford to be careless at all.
Soon, the battle list for the second round of the preliminary round was announced. Lin Feng's opponent was Yang Feng from the Yang family. Yang Feng was also a highly - regarded figure in the Yang family. He was good at earth - attribute cultivation techniques and had astonishing defensive power.
As the match was about to start, Lin Feng stepped onto the martial - arts stage. Opposite him, Yang Feng was burly, exuding a thick aura, as steady as a small mountain. Yang Feng looked at Lin Feng with a hint of disdain in his eyes and said, "Lin Feng, I heard you defeated Chen Yu, but that was just luck. You won't pass me so easily."
Lin Feng ignored Yang Feng's provocation and focused on waiting for the match to start. With the referee's order, Yang Feng took the lead. He stomped on the ground with both feet, and a burst of earth - yellow spiritual energy instantly surged out, condensing into a huge earth wall in front of him. The earth wall was more than half a person thick, and mysterious runes were engraved on its surface, emitting a powerful defensive force.
Lin Feng knew that it wouldn't be easy to break through Yang Feng's defense. He didn't attack rashly but walked around the earth wall, looking for flaws. Seeing that Lin Feng didn't attack, Yang Feng urged the earth wall to move slowly towards Lin Feng, trying to force him into a corner.
While nimbly dodging the squeezing of the earth wall, Lin Feng thought about countermeasures. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of making use of the characteristics of "The Green Wood Art". Lin Feng stopped, quickly formed seals with his hands, and the wood - attribute spiritual energy around him quickly gathered. Suddenly, many thick vines grew out of the ground in front of him. These vines, like spiritual snakes, coiled towards Yang Feng.
Seeing this, Yang Feng snorted coldly. He controlled part of the earth wall to turn into several stone spikes and stabbed at the vines. The vines collided with the stone spikes, making "bang, bang" sounds. Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng condensed several spiritual - energy arrows and shot them at Yang Feng through the gaps in the vines.
Yang Feng quickly urged the earth wall to defend. The spiritual - energy arrows hit the earth wall, leaving only a few shallow marks. Lin Feng knew that such attacks weren't enough to break through Yang Feng's defense. He increased his control over the spiritual energy, making the vines keep growing, bypassing the earth wall and coiling towards Yang Feng from the sides and behind.
Yang Feng was in a bit of a panic for a moment. He had to control the earth wall to block the spiritual - energy arrows while dealing with the vines coiling towards him from all directions. Just as Yang Feng was distracted, Lin Feng seized the opportunity and summoned his Spiritual - Energy Clone. The Spiritual - Energy Clone turned into a black shadow and quickly rushed towards Yang Feng.
Yang Feng sensed the movement behind him and wanted to turn around to defend, but it was too late. The Spiritual - Energy Clone punched Yang Feng hard on the back. Yang Feng stumbled forward a few steps. Lin Feng seized this opportunity, gathered all the spiritual energy in his body, and launched his most powerful attack. A thick spiritual - energy column blasted towards Yang Feng.
Yang Feng was hit by the spiritual - energy column and fell heavily to the ground. The earth wall also collapsed with a loud crash as it lost the control of its master. The referee saw this and announced that Lin Feng had won.
The audience burst into applause for Lin Feng's wonderful performance. The Lin family members were even more overjoyed and full of confidence in Lin Feng.
In the following third and fourth rounds of the preliminary round, Lin Feng still performed outstandingly. In the third round, his opponent was good at wind - attribute cultivation techniques and had extremely high speed. However, Lin Feng, with his sharp perception and flexible body skills, fought周旋 with the opponent. Finally, he seized the flaw in the opponent's attack gap and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop. In the fourth round, his opponent was a fierce warrior good at close - combat and had amazing strength. But Lin Feng skillfully used "The Green Wood Art" to control the spiritual energy, constantly consuming the opponent's physical strength. Finally, when the opponent was exhausted, Lin Feng successfully won.
Lin Feng won consecutive battles and smoothly advanced to the semi - final round. His name caused an even greater sensation in Qingyan City. Everyone looked at this former good - for - nothing with new eyes and was full of expectations for his performance in the semi - final round.
