Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?

565 The Eye of Discernment

The competition continued to be in full swing, but Lin Feng had nothing to do because he had directly advanced.

Lin Feng still had some doubts about his advancement.

With so many participants in the competition, how was it possible not to find a single opponent and allow him to advance directly?

Could it be that the Hong family had discovered him?

However, if the Hong family discovered him and did not deal with him immediately, they should have a motive.

Lin Feng felt that no matter what the other party’s purpose was, since they hadn’t acted immediately, he had room to maneuver.

Moreover, Lin Feng believed that as long as he wasn’t facing multiple peak divine experts or gods, he could confidently withdraw unscathed. So, he wasn’t very nervous and decided to see how the Hong family would react next.

The second round of the competition was still underway, and Lin Feng looked in the direction of Chu Sanqiang.

Chu Sanqiang’s external level was dark gold level, but his mental strength was clearly at the diamond level. At this moment, his opponent was a late-stage diamond level genius. This could be considered a ‘challenge’ for Chu Sanqiang.

If Chu Sanqiang wanted to win, it would be very difficult to win. It would be a test of his acting skills.

At this moment, Chu Sanqiang’s hands flew in the air and turned into afterimages. He kept carving array runes in the air, his forehead covered in sweat, and his eyes revealed some nervousness.

Lin Feng watched with interest. Chu Sanqiang’s acting was really good.

This was because anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Chu Sanqiang’s opponent’s speed of carving formation runes was clearly much faster than Chu Sanqiang’s.

Indeed, in the next moment, the late diamond level mental strength genius shouted softly and an incomparably complicated array formation enveloped Chu Sanqiang. Seeing this, Chu Sanqiang sighed. “I’ve lost.”

Then, his opponent smiled proudly and removed the array formation. Then, he left without looking back.

Chu Sanqiang had a dejected expression. He came to Lin Feng’s side and said with a frown, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Brother Nie. I didn’t expect to lose just like that.”

Lin Feng smiled mischievously and said, “It’s fine. Brother Chu, don’t be discouraged. It’s just one round. You still have points. Wouldn’t it be fine if you win the next competition?”

In the second round of the Hong family’s competition, one needed to have 20 points to pass. In other words, half of the people would not be able to pass the competition.

Originally, many genius array masters had already been selected in the first level. In the second level, they had even chosen the best among the best!

It was obvious what status the genius who passed the third level in the end would obtain in the Hong family.

On the other hand, Chu Sanqiang had put in so much effort to act. Lin Feng did not believe that the other party would keep a low profile and become an ordinary disciple.

Chu Sanqiang smiled bitterly and said, “That’s all we can do. Brother Nie is really lucky. Number 666 actually directly advanced to the third level. It’s really enviable.”

Lin Feng smiled and did not say anything. At this moment, Fang Lan also walked over.

Because her mental strength was only at the gold level (lv300), she quickly lost five rounds and was only left with five points. She was only waiting to match her opponent according to the points in the end.

When Fang Lan learned that Lin Feng had advanced directly to the third round, she couldn’t help but envy him.

She knew her own abilities, and under the current circumstances, it seemed unlikely that she would pass the second round.

Lin Feng encouraged her with a smile, “It’s alright, don’t worry too much. Just do your best.”

Meanwhile, another round of matches began.

This time, Chu Sanqiang was matched with a genius whose spiritual power was also at the early Diamond level.

As for Fang Lan, she was matched with an opponent who also had only five points and was at the peak of the Gold level in spiritual power.

Both of them won their matches, and Lin Feng watched Fang Lan’s smiling face on the stage with a smile of his own.

On the other side, Chen Jinwu seemed to have earned a considerable amount of money, and Chen Jinyang, who participated in the competition, also seemed to have won several times. However, advancing to the third round seemed to be somewhat challenging for him.

After all, this competition was not just about the strength of spiritual power but also about one’s proficiency in formations. Although Chen Jinyang had been in this world for more than a year, he still couldn’t compare to the geniuses who had been studying formations since childhood.

The entire second round lasted for a full day and hadn’t been completed yet. After all, there were thousands of participants, and it wasn’t possible to determine the winners and losers in just one day.

On the second day, Lin Feng still came to watch the competition, but Du Jinlong and Lv Yaobin, who had been with Chen Jinwu, had disappeared. Even Lin Feng’s little black from the Longevity Realm was nowhere to be seen.

But Lin Feng didn’t care at all and continued to watch the competition leisurely. Others couldn’t even notice these details.

As Lin Feng watched the competition, he occasionally made loud comments, acting as if he were a genius, which annoyed some people.

“Look at that guy. Although he can create formations quickly, his hands are not steady. Even though he can create basic formations, I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle more complex ones.

“And that guy, he’s making formations in a flashy way, but it’s all style over substance.”

Beside Lin Feng, An Yu looked at the displeased expressions of the people around them and whispered, “Brother Nie, can you… please stop saying that?”

Lin Feng asked with some confusion, “Why? Can’t I point out their shortcomings? Is that not allowed?”

An Yu shook her head and said quietly, “No, it’s not that. Haven’t you noticed that the people around us are giving us strange looks?”
