With a decision already in mind, Lin Feng did not immediately contact the people at Ju Xing.

Because if he signed with Ju Xing, he wouldn't have the final say on endorsements; the club would take care of it.

Before signing with the club, he had to sort out the advertisement endorsements.

"Today I must confirm it."

The phone slightly vibrated, showing it was his mother's call. Lin Feng told Yang Fan and then went to the balcony.

"Brother, you're famous!"

On the phone, his sister's excited voice came through first.

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile: "Your brother has been famous for a while, why are you only calling now?"

Having ascended the First Throne yesterday and not receiving a call from home, Lin Feng found it a bit strange, as this was not like his sister.

"I wanted to call you yesterday, but Mom wouldn't let me, saying you were undergoing the Demon Blood Pool baptism today and shouldn't be disturbed!"

"Brother, you're the idol of all Jiang City students now. Everyone knows I'm your sister, and each day someone sends me breakfast, buys lots of delicious food, hoping to get your autograph!"

"But I didn't give it to them, huh, just bits of food, and they think they can get my brother's autograph — dreaming too nice."

"Brother, when will you come back to Jiang City? You have to pick me up when you do…"

Ma Lele chattered nonstop, not looking like she'd stop anytime soon.

"I'll come back for the New Year; when the time comes, I'll pick you up." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, you've said too much; now it's my turn."

As the elder sister's voice came through, Lin Kerou took over the phone: "Xiaofeng, I'm proud of you!"

After the elder sister said this, the phone was passed to Lin Fang.

"Xiaofeng, your mom saw it."

"Take good care of yourself, eat well, keep warm."

"Health is the most important; the speed of cultivation doesn't matter, those things are additional, not important."

"Don't worry about the family, we're at your grandpa's for lunch today, everything is fine."

The chat with his mother was full of reminders.

Regarding Lin Feng's achievements, there were no congratulations.

At this moment, Lin Feng didn't know that while chatting on the phone, Lin Fang's eyes were slightly red.

Even though she's not a Martial Artist, and doesn't care about Martial Arts, Lin Fang knows what it means to break the Red Cloud University's Demon Blood Pool record.

On the television news, the host detailed the difficulty of such a breakthrough and praised Lin Feng's extraordinary willpower, both shocked and in awe.

You can't imagine the pain a 19-year-old boy can endure!

The host commented this way.

The news also showed footage, Lin Feng's fragmented, blood-covered body. Lin Fang didn't dare watch too much; her heart trembled, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

To change the family's life, her son has given so much.

However, to avoid pressuring Lin Feng, she said nothing.

Because she knows, saying it wouldn't help, it would only burden Lin Feng.

Even though her worry and heartache were well hidden, Lin Feng could hear it, and it warmed his heart greatly.

Mother and son spoke for a while longer, then the phone was passed on again.

"Xiaofeng, it's your uncle!"

The call was passed to Uncle Lin Anbang, who admired Lin Feng's accomplishments: "You're the pride of the Lin Family, your grandpa's been smiling from ear to ear the last two days, answering congratulatory calls from his old comrades and relatives, he's even saying he'll have a few drinks to celebrate at lunch."

Lin Anbang asked a few simple questions about Red Cloud University, then sincerely thanked Lin Feng: "Xiaofeng, about Xiaofei, thank you."

Yesterday, the entire family, dozens of people watched the live broadcast of the Throne Challenge tournament.

Originally hoping he'd secure one of the top ten thrones, who could have expected Lin Feng to ascend to the First Throne.

Seeing his nephew sitting on the high and mighty throne, the family was both excited and amazed, but not entirely surprised.

National college entrance exam top scorer, the country's number one, taking the First Throne seemed only natural.

And the fact that Lin Xiaofei could also secure a seat, that was truly unbelievable and a delightful surprise.

Even though it was only the 98th throne.

Lin Xiaofei indeed has impressive talent, a Ninth Rank Body Cultivator, refining an Eighth Grade Demon Spirit, yet compared to the geniuses abound at Red Cloud University, he's still a level behind.

Many stronger than him were eliminated early.

But due to Lin Feng's connection, he was well-protected, coming out unscathed, not lifting a finger, yet obtaining a throne.

Such luck is enviable!

This big connection he latched onto makes people jealous.

If Dong Yunan was the largest sparrow in the Throne Challenge, Lin Xiaofei was the most inconspicuous little sparrow.

Not to mention the resources and rewards of the Throne Challenge, just the Demon Blood Pool baptism alone is precious beyond measure, the kind of treatment money can't easily buy.

For Lin Xiaofei, having such a cousin might be the greatest opportunity of his life.

Others can only envy!

The family thought this was shock enough.

Who would've expected, before they could digest the news, in just one day, Lin Feng broke through to the Second Grade!

Nineteen-year-old Second Grade Martial Artist!

Besides their nephew, how many others nationwide can match that?

Even if there are, it's likely those of the Glory Race, resourcefully built up using rare resources.

"Xiaofei is my cousin, we're family, no need for formalities." Lin Feng said.

"Alright, alright, you're his cousin, if he does anything wrong, don't hesitate, just teach him a lesson."

"No need to worry about your mom, we'll take good care of her."

Lin Anbang said a few more words, then passed the phone back to Lin Fang, who reminded Lin Feng a couple more times before reluctantly ending the call.

.....

Shangjing!

Cloud Mist Mountain.

"You've been watching for a while, any thoughts?"

In the classic study, Yang Qingtian sat on the Grand Teacher's chair, gazing at the light curtain in front, asking.

"Father, what do you want to say?"

Opposite Yang Qingtian stood a man.

A middle-aged man appearing in his thirties or forties, towering at 1.9 meters, wearing a dark martial artist's uniform, his body as straight as a sharp spear, shoulder-length black hair tied up, a chiseled face, two sharp sword brows, and piercing dark eyes below them flashing with a fierce and heroic spirit.

One could say, he is an extremely strong, handsome man with a fatal appeal to women.

"Father, what do you want to say?" The man also looked at the light curtain, asking calmly.

Sunlight refracted through the windows into the room, casting a faint red sheen over the man's skin, as if absorbing the sun's warmth, the entire person exuding a burning aura, akin to a blazing flame.

"You know what I want to say!"

Yang Qingtian stood up, gazing at this man, already capable of independent responsibility, a representative of the Yang Family, and his most satisfying child, saying: "Yang Qing, he inherited your talent, and his talent is even more extraordinary than yours."

"I don't object to bringing him back to the family."

Looking at the radiant young man in the light curtain, Yang Qing said.

Even though he appeared composed at this time, inside he was far from tranquil.

If not for his father's disclosure, he might have even forgotten about the existence of this child.

He never imagined, the child he abandoned thirteen years ago, would become a prodigious talent discussed nationwide.

Even for him, at that age, it's unlikely comparable.

All his children appeared dim in comparison to Lin Feng.

"Ning Bing has already spoken with him, promised many benefits, but he refused!"

Yang Qingtian said.

"Refusing to return?"

Yang Qing's expression slightly changed at this moment, but soon returned to calm: "After 13 years, even changed his surname; it's understandable not wanting to come back."

"He mentioned a condition."

"What condition?"

"He said..."

This time Yang Qingtian appeared somewhat hesitant, but faced with such talent, one that could change the family's future, he couldn't easily let go: "Lin Feng said, if you personally speak to him, he will consider returning to the family!"

"Have me plead to him..."

In this moment, Yang Qing, who had maintained his composure, finally showed a change in expression.

The previously calm gaze now revealing sharpness akin to an eagle, filled with aggression and danger.
