Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 989 - 988: The Teacher of the Adult Group?

"Swoosh!"

A figure flashed inside the great hall, a roughly sixty-year-old elder dressed in a black robe appeared before Lin Feng, examining him with a suspicious gaze. He then slightly furrowed his brows and spoke, "I am Patriarch Xia Yuntian of the Xia Family. What is your name, and show me the Jade Medallion."

Hearing that the person holding the Heaven Character Jade Token had arrived, Xia Yuntian was anxious to see what kind of outstanding individual the elder ancestor had arranged. However, upon seeing Lin Feng, he was somewhat disappointed. How could a man who looked to be under twenty and was still a mortal possibly take on the role of a teacher for the adult group? The elder ancestor’s decision seemed too outrageous, but he would not dare to defy it. For now, he could only take a look at the Jade Medallion first.

"I am Lin Feng, and here is the medallion!" Lin Feng replied simply to Xia Yuntian, and after finishing his sentence, he tossed the medallion to him. He breathed a sigh of relief internally, fearing that his master had found him yet another fiancée—with so many wives already at home, he truly did not want any more. Now, meeting a male Patriarch of the Xia Family was a pleasant surprise.

Indeed, it was the Heaven Character Jade Token!

Xia Yuntian received the Jade Medallion, scrutinized it closely, and confirmed its authenticity. Since this was the case, he had to proceed according to the elder ancestor’s plan. He said indifferently to Lin Feng, "I will have the adults of the group gather here immediately."

After saying this, Xia Yuntian didn’t wait for Lin Feng’s reaction, and immediately used a Secret Technique to inform Xia Guangnan to bring all members of the adult group to this place. Afterwards, he just stood there, saying nothing more while contemplating how to accommodate Lin Feng. As per the elder ancestor’s orders, Lin Feng was to teach the adult group, but the question was whether Lin Feng had the ability to command those individuals. If they ended up killing him, how would he explain it to the elder ancestor?

Lin Feng stood still, his eyebrows slightly raised, pondering Xia Yuntian’s words, not understanding what summoning the adults to this place meant—what exactly had his master sent him to the Hidden World to do...

Before long, Xia Guangnan, who received the notice, appeared outside the great hall with the members of the adult group. His medium stature and the blue robe he wore made him look especially vibrant. Like him, the members of the adult group also appeared in fine spirits.

"Patriarch, aside from two who are in seclusion and cannot leave, and two who are on special trials unable to return, all other adults are here. They are our Xia Family’s talents and are bound to shine in the upcoming competition!" Xia Guangnan proudly reported to Xia Yuntian, and after doing so, he glanced at Lin Feng standing next to the Patriarch, filled with confusion as to why there would be a mortal next to the Patriarch.

Xia Yuntian took a look and nodded, feeling quite gratified. The strength of the adult group was indeed good. Participating in the competition in a few months should pose no problem. Even if Lin Feng really did instruct the adult group and lacked abilities, it should not cause any major issues—after all, the competition in a few months was the most important event.

"Patriarch, this is Xia Tong, who has recently broken through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm before the age of twenty! This is Xia Pinghu, who not long ago single-handedly slew a Dark Flame Sky-Howling Wolf! This is..." Seeing that the Patriarch nodded, Xia Guangnan was even more pleased with himself, reintroducing several of the adult group’s outstanding talents and their recent achievements, hoping to gain the Patriarch’s affirmation of his teaching accomplishments.

Hearing the praises of her teacher, a proud beauty slightly raised her head. Her red long dress accentuated her figure, and her snow-white skin exuded an arrogant aura like jade, while Xia Tong, with a countenance akin to a fairy, revealed a complacent smile.

However, she was then taken aback to see a person from the Secular World, a mortal, appearing next to the Patriarch, which aroused her curiosity. She frowned slightly, sized up Lin Feng, and wondered to herself, though not looking too bad, what identity this mortal had...

"I have summoned you all here to introduce someone to you. This is your new teacher for the adult group, Lin Feng. Please welcome him," Xia Yuntian said somewhat helplessly after Xia Guangnan’s introduction. He had no choice but to carry out the elder ancestor’s arrangement. As for whether Lin Feng could establish himself in the adult group, that would depend on Lin Feng’s skills. He just hoped Lin Feng wouldn’t get killed by the group.

A teacher for the adult group?

Hearing this from Xia Yuntian, Lin Feng finally understood what his master had sent him here to do, and his brow furrowed. He couldn’t comprehend why his master had ordered him to teach these people, but since his master had already arranged it, he would have to wait and see how things unfolded.

What!

Upon hearing Xia Yuntian’s words, Xia Guangnan’s expression instantly changed, and he felt like he might explode. He was furious inside—this was an insult to him. With his guidance, the adult group was performing better than ever, and suddenly adding a teacher now was unfathomable. He could not agree to the Patriarch’s arrangement!

"This is the elder ancestor’s command!"

But just as Xia Guangnan was about to speak out, he suddenly heard a Secret Technique message from Patriarch Xia Yuntian, which left him speechless. He realized why the Patriarch had made such an arrangement. No one could defy what the elder ancestor had arranged, and despite his disagreement, he had to accept it. This made him forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.

His silence, however, did not mean the talented individuals of the adult group would be quiet. Hearing their Patriarch appointing what they estimated to be a younger mortal to teach them, they were immediately infuriated...

"Family Head, what is he even supposed to be? How could a mere mortal from the Secular World possibly qualify to teach us? I disagree!"

As she puzzled over Lin Feng’s identity, she suddenly heard the Family Head say this and a wave of disgust rose in her heart. She pointed at Lin Feng without any politeness and spoke to Xia Yuntian, "Letting a mortal who looks even younger than her become our teacher is a joke. What qualifications do mortals have to teach us?"

"Family Head, why would the family arrange something like this, this mortal isn’t even older than us. What ability does he have to teach us?" Dressed in a green training suit, the imposing Xia Pinghu stood up and spoke out in a deep voice, glancing at Lin Feng and thinking that with just a slap, he could kill such a mortal. Dream on about being their teacher.

"Family Head, what if we accidentally kill him?"

"Family Head, by the looks of him, he might be able to teach children, but he’s not qualified to teach us!"

"Family Head, I’ve been unable to control my strength lately, I’m really afraid I might kill him, boom!"

...

At this moment, the other adults also began to speak up one after another, making it clear they looked down on Lin Feng. Their words were unpleasant; in their eyes, a mortal who looked even younger than them had no right to teach them. The Family Head’s decision seemed utterly ridiculous! One of them couldn’t restrain himself and stomped on the ground, which immediately caused a strong fluctuation, as if there had been a minor earthquake, a demonstration meant to intimidate Lin Feng into backing down. Otherwise, if he really were to teach their adult group, they wouldn’t mind killing Lin Feng right there and then.

"Silence! This is an order from above, and we must obey!" Seeing his subordinates speaking out of turn and even demonstrating in front of the Family Head, Xia Guangnan’s face could not hang on any longer. He chastised these talents, after all, this arrangement was made by the ancestor, and the Family Head couldn’t decide on this matter by himself. Lin Feng could only become the teacher of the adult group for now, there was no need to make the Family Head’s position difficult here.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the situation unfold like this, Xia Yuntian coughed awkwardly. He had anticipated such a situation, but as the Family Head, he must put a stop to such impolite behavior. He then turned his head and said indifferently to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, as you can see, these are the adult talents of the Xia Family. Talents, after all, tend to have some pride and aren’t so easily tamed. From now on, as the teacher of the adult group, you will have to manage them on your own. That’s beyond our ability."

The meaning was straightforward, telling Lin Feng that to teach these people, he must have sufficient strength. Otherwise, it was very likely that these talents could kill him. He also hoped that Lin Feng would voluntarily give up the idea of becoming the teacher of the adult group. If something happened to Lin Feng, he couldn’t explain it to the ancestor.

"Teaching them is worse than teaching a bunch of kids," Lin Feng said, shaking his head after hearing Xia Yuntian’s words. He was extremely disappointed in these adults and no longer wanted to be the teacher of the adult group. A group that has already strayed and wasted themselves yet still claim to be talents, he was truly disappointed.

"Whoosh!"

The eyes of everyone present instantly turned to Lin Feng, staring at him in disbelief. No one expected Lin Feng to say such a thing. How could the distinguished adult talents be inferior to some children? What was Lin Feng implying...

"There’s no need to look at me like that, they’ve already been wasted," Lin Feng said indifferently, looking back at them. Mediocre aptitude was tolerable, but their potential was exhausted, and their mindsets were flawed. They were beyond saving; to say they were wasted was not wrong at all.

"What gives you the right to say that about us? What qualifications do you have to speak like that?"

"We are wasted? Open your damn eyes and see for yourself!"

"A mortal from the Secular World, are you blind? What are you even worth?"

...

At this time, the adult group of talents suddenly exploded, speaking to Lin Feng with immense anger. They were about to burst with fury at Lin Feng! In an instant, they all released their aura, and gusts of wind arose around them. Each person was enveloped by thick layers of Elemental True Qi, almost wishing they could slap Lin Feng to death right then and there!

But just at that moment, more shocking words from Lin Feng came...
