Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1189 - 1187: The Thoughts of the Children

At this moment, as the Family Head, Xia Yuntian, and the Elders of the Xia Family were all grinning from ear to ear. None of them had expected the outcome of the youth group competition to be like this, which exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Keep in mind that previously, when they had performed at their best, having about ten spots among the top thirty-two was already considered very good. But now, to occupy twenty-eight spots out of thirty-two was a result that no one could surpass. To put it boldly, even if all the children of the youth group in the Hidden World were combined, they would not be as formidable as the Xia Family. But at this moment, it would not be good for them to show too much joy here, especially since the faces of the people from the other three Prominent Families were extremely ugly. Even if they were happy, they would wait until they returned to their camp to celebrate.

In the blink of an eye, the competition for the youth group came to a complete end. Gu Nanshan, with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, read out the results of the youth group competition and announced a recess. Tomorrow would be the competition for the adolescent group, and today’s competition was officially over.

The Gu Family’s camp.

"Speak! What the hell happened? You mean to tell me you knew nothing about the Xia Family’s situation? What good are you!" Gu Nanshan roared at the many Elders below. He was truly enraged now. The Gu Family had never experienced such a disastrous defeat in its history, and how could he not be furious!

"We really had no idea!"

"I think it must have something to do with that unreliable Mortal of the Xia Family!"

"I think so too. Otherwise, even if the Xia Family had an outbreak, it couldn’t possibly be to this extent!"

"Our people tried to dig into the Xia Family’s youth group details, but we found nothing. Before this, their children had gone to the Secular World."

...

Facing the Family Head’s roar, the Elders below were also at a loss for words. They too had tried their best, but who would have known the details about the Xia Family, leaving them with no other options? Who could have foreseen that the Xia Family’s children, as if they had undergone a radical transformation, could become so powerful in just a few months? If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death. But the die is cast now, and no one has any solution...

"Investigate! I want you to check out that Lin Feng from the Xia Family. I want to see just who that person really is! Also, regarding tomorrow’s adolescent group competition, I do not wish to see today’s results repeated!" Actually, Gu Nanshan was aware that everyone was telling the truth. It was just that he couldn’t suppress the rage in his heart. After dropping this statement, he turned around and left.

However, in his heart, he also felt that the sudden breakthrough of the Xia Family’s children was definitely not that simple. Even if they didn’t have a direct connection with Lin Feng, there must certainly be an indirect one. Otherwise, the children of the Xia Family couldn’t possibly have undergone such a shocking transformation. Now, he was starting to become curious about that Mortal teacher.

And with Gu Nanshan’s departure, the elders of the Gu Family had faces full of worry. Investigate Lin Feng—how could they possibly do that? And to ensure that tomorrow’s adolescent group competition goes without a hitch—it simply seemed impossible. But the Family Head had given the order, so all they could do was get together and discuss strategies...

The situation at the Kong Family was similar and equally dire.

"Is this what you call taking first place in the youth group? What have you been doing! How was the intelligence work handled!" Kong Lifeng also bellowed at the many Elders. The thought of today’s results was driving him mad. He had originally believed the Kong Family would take first place in the youth group. Indeed they got the first place, but it was the last-place position, making him so angry he wanted to pummel these Elders! The Kong Family had utterly lost face this time!

Keep in mind, the Kong Family’s best hope had been the youth group in this competition. But now they had achieved such results, which made the later stages even more challenging for the Kong Family. Unless something unexpected happens, the Kong Family feared it might come in last among the four Prominent Families. How could he not be enraged!

"Family Head, we are powerless. Who could have foreseen the Xia Family’s children would be so formidable!"

"Family Head, we also wanted to gather information on the Xia Family, but their children had gone to the Secular World, and only came back just before the competition..."

"We really are helpless. As for today’s events, not only our Kong Family, but no one else could have predicted them either."

...

The Elders were at a loss for words now. No one could have predicted the Xia Family children’s breakthrough, nor could anyone have known that such events would occur, leaving them completely without any means to deal with it. They were truly innocent in this matter...

"You all understand what this grand competition means without me having to say it; making excuses now is pointless. In a word, our ancestor has spoken: the Kong Family must not, under any circumstances, come in last. The matter is as such, it’s up to you to see what can be done." Kong Lifeng sighed as he looked at the many elders. He knew what the elders were saying was the truth, but the ancestor had already given the command by the time he arrived, and they dared not fail to meet the ancestor’s expectations.

After finishing his speech, Kong Lifeng immediately turned and left, leaving behind a group of stunned elders. A very bad premonition started to form in their minds: this time the trouble was really great. If they failed to meet the ancestor’s expectations, they would be in big trouble. With this thought, their complexions changed, and they quickly gathered to figure out a solution...

On the Song Family’s side, however, things were much quieter. Although only two of the Song children made it into the top thirty-two, this already greatly satisfied them. As long as they did better than the other two Prominent Families, it was enough. Song Wuya’s heart was filled with relief. In the children’s division of the grand competition, the Xia Family’s children were basically playing and crushing their opponents with ease, leaving no suspense whatsoever. Fortunately, he had listened to the ancestor’s words and did not let their children compete with those of the Xia Family, otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Song Family to even have two participants in the top thirty-two.

Later, thinking about the youth and adult division competitions, Song Wuya couldn’t make up his mind and went to consult the ancestor to plan what to do next. The ancestor’s remarks left him dumbfounded...

Amidst various joys and sorrows, the scene at the Xia Family was completely different. Smiles were brimming on everyone’s faces. Upon returning to their previous camp, Xia Yuntian immediately called Lin Feng to come before all of the Xia Family.

"Thank you for leading the Xia Family’s children’s division to such a victory. On behalf of everyone in the Xia Family, I offer you a heartfelt thank you." Xia Yuntian seriously expressed his gratitude to Lin Feng. He was indeed very thankful to Lin Feng; it still felt like a dream to him. Since joining the Xia Family, Lin Feng had not done many things right, and he and the elders of the Xia Family had had many issues with Lin Feng. But today’s results from the children spoke for themselves. It could be said that without Lin Feng, the children would not have made such progress, so no amount of thanks to Lin Feng would be considered too much.

The elders who had previously had significant issues with Lin Feng did not know what to say now. Facts spoke louder than words; Lin Feng had already brought the children this far, what else could they say? For a time, the elders were extremely embarrassed and wanted to say some nice words to praise Lin Feng, but they were too proud to open their mouths and could only stand silently on the side.

Lin Feng had been observing everyone’s reactions and, not wanting to put them in an awkward position, just said simply, "It was nothing more than a simple effort, there’s no need for all this fuss."

Afterward, he immediately led Xia Lalan and the children away from the crowd for a moment, leaving Xia Yuntian and a group of elders in a daze, not understanding why Lin Feng was in such a hurry to leave with the kids when they still wanted to say some words of thanks. As soon as Lin Feng and the children returned to the children’s division camp, they were immediately surrounded by Xia Jianping, Xia Jianwu, and the other children.

"Teacher Lin, the children’s division competition is so boring. Can we compete in the youth division?"

"Yes, Teacher Lin, today was just too dull. I want to go check out the youth division."

"Tomorrow is the youth division’s grand competition, and I really want to participate!"

...

The children gathered around Lin Feng, expressing their inner desires. Indeed, they found no joy in today’s competition in the children’s division because the difference in strength was too great; there was no pleasure in battle. Having become accustomed to challenging Demon Beasts of the Transcendent Realm, they now set their sights on the youth division. For them, competing in the youth division was nothing extraordinary; at most, they would face early-stage fighters of the Transcendent Realm, and they believed they were qualified to battle such opponents.

No sooner had the children expressed their intentions than Lin Feng understood what they were up to, saying indifferently, "Of course you can participate. The competition only sets a maximum age limit, not a minimum; there’s no problem with you entering."

Today, during the competition, Lin Feng had nothing to do and talked with Xia Yunfeng to understand various rules of the competition, including this one. Therefore, according to this rule, no one could say anything against it; those who had set the rules hadn’t anticipated this issue before.

But while Lin Feng spoke casually, Xia Lalan couldn’t sit still and immediately interjected: "The youth division has a limit on entries, with each Prominent Family allowed twenty youths to participate. This has been predetermined. Unless a way to gain the Family Head’s consent is found, it’s virtually impossible to join the youth division’s competition."

Xia Lalan looked at Lin Feng and the children, explaining the situation very seriously. Her concern was precisely that—if the Family Head did not agree, the children, no matter how much they wished to participate, simply could not do so. Moreover, the Family Head was unlikely to allow the children to represent the youth division again, making this matter virtually hopeless.

Upon hearing Xia Lalan’s words, the children immediately became despondent, understanding her meaning. Although they really wanted to join the youth division competition, there was no way the Family Head would allow them to do so. No matter how much they desired it, they lacked the means to participate.

However, what the children and Xia Lalan didn’t expect was that at this moment, Lin Feng smiled and said to them, "Actually, there is a way. It’s very simple to get the Family Head’s permission. If those in the youth division cannot participate, then you can take their places in the competition. For the sake of the Xia Family, even if the Family Head is reluctant to let you compete, they must."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan was stunned. She had not expected Lin Feng to come up with such an idea. Even she had to admit that if the children were to join the youth division competition, this method was indeed very good! However, it could lead to trouble and might drive the people of the Xia Family insane!

The children, on the other hand, didn’t consider so much. As long as they could compete in the youth division, they were not afraid of anything. After Lin Feng finished speaking, they all suddenly took off running; they clearly understood Lin Feng’s hint. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be Lin Feng’s students!
