Lin Bai and Lin Ye arrive at the Zi Bamboo Tribe during their grand Seven Purple Feast. After obtaining the required red marking to attend, they learn from Zi Feng that the feast celebrates the tribe's resources: spirit bamboo and potent spirit liquid. Competitions are held for a chance to win bottles of this valuable spirit liquid, attracting warriors from afar.

Before reaching Purple Mountain, there were guards stationed here.

Upon seeing the insignias on Brother Lin’s and Zi Feng’s chests, they did not question them and allowed Brother Lin to pass through.

However, Brother Lin also noticed that some warriors without insignias on their chests were stopped by the guards. After explaining for a while, those warriors left, grumbling.

Under Purple Mountain, the warriors of the Zizhu Tribe gathered joyfully, engaging in conversations and laughter.

"Zi Feng!"

At this moment, a white-robed woman from afar called out Zi Feng’s name.

Zi Feng, with a smile, walked over. Brother Lin followed suit, and they arrived at a large bonfire where hundreds of warriors were seated, drinking and laughing.

"Zi Feng, who is he?" The white-robed woman asked Zi Feng with curiosity.

Zi Feng smiled and said, "This is Brother Lin, who happened upon the Zizhu Tribe while traveling. He wanted to see the Seven Purple Feast but isn’t familiar with the tribe, so I’m bringing him along!"

"Brother Lin, these warriors here are all my friends, this is Fang Lele!"

Zi Feng said with a smile.

Brother Lin cupped his fists and smiled slightly, noticing the red insignia on Fang Lele’s chest and understanding immediately that Fang Lele was not a native of the Zizhu Tribe!

Among the warriors sitting around the bonfire, only dozens belonged to the Zizhu Tribe, while the others were outsiders wearing red insignias.

Fang Lele also smiled at Brother Lin without hostility, saying, "Since you’re here for the Seven Purple Feast, sit down and join us. We’re drinking, and the martial arts competition hasn’t started yet!"

Zi Feng curiously asked, "The martial arts competition hasn’t started yet? That’s good, I thought I was late!"

Fang Lele laughed and replied, "Not at all!"

Though Brother Lin sat down, his eyes were scanning the surroundings.

"Where did Su Xin go?" Brother Lin wondered out loud.

After sitting down, the warriors around the bonfire jokingly said to Zi Feng, "Zi Feng, we heard from Fang Lele that you’re also planning to compete in the arena this year?"

"Then you must be careful, there are many strong contenders this year!"

"Some of these strong ones even have quite a reputation across the Southern Continent now!"

The warriors to the sides spoke one after another.

Upon hearing the term ’strong ones,’ Brother Lin also retracted his thoughts and listened carefully.

Zi Feng curiously asked, "Who exactly has come?"

Fang Lele replied, "No need for us to tell you about the powerful figures of the Zizhu Tribe, right?"

"Your tribe’s warriors Zi Qing, Zi Han, Zi Xia, all three are participating!"

Zi Feng chuckled lightly, "These three are the most popular geniuses in the Zizhu Tribe right now. They naturally would participate, and not many can challenge them!"

"I didn’t intend to clash with them head-on either!"

"I’m more concerned about the geniuses from other tribes..."

Zi Feng said softly.

Brother Lin was also listening intently.

Before Fang Lele spoke, another warrior next to the bonfire said with a smile, "Big Brother Zi Feng, I don’t know about other tribes, but the first genius of our Dahe Tribe, He Yunsheng, has come too!"

Zi Feng’s eyes flashed: "He Yunsheng is here? This year’s going to be a real battle of dragons and tigers. Is there anyone else?"

Another warrior said, "I heard that the top genius of our Nanjun Tribe, Nan’an, has also come!"

"And the top genius of our tribe, Liuyu Hen!"

Yet another warrior chimed in.

Zi Feng murmured, "The top genius of the Jiuxiao Clan, Liuyu Hen!"

At this moment, another warrior said, "Also, the top genius of our White Elephant Tribe, Xiang Xing!"

"Nan’an, Liuyu Hen, Xiang Xing! These three tribes around the Zizhu Tribe are the strongest, and like the Zizhu Tribe, they are one of the 72 Great Clans!" Upon hearing these names, Zi Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.

Clearly, whether it was the Dahe Tribe’s He Yunsheng, Nanjun Tribe’s Nan’an, Jiuxiao Clan’s Liuyu Hen, or White Elephant Tribe’s Xiang Xing, all were formidable rivals for Zi Feng.

"And that’s not all!" Fang Lele exclaimed in surprise.

All the warriors looked toward Fang Lele.

Zi Feng also curiously asked, "Could there be more tribes coming?"

Fang Lele, with a serious and shocked expression, looked at Zi Feng and said, "I heard that strong contenders from the Sword Pavilion Clan are here too!"

The other warriors immediately exclaimed, "Is it Su Tingzong of the Sword Pavilion Clan? Which legendary genius has come?"

Fang Lele said, "What are you thinking? How could Su Tingzong possibly come!"

"But although it’s not this legendary genius, the one who came is also one of the rare geniuses within the Sword Pavilion Clan!"

Zi Feng’s eyes flashed, and he murmured, "Is it Su Min?"

Upon hearing this name from Zi Feng, Fang Lele immediately nodded.

Upon hearing the name "Su Min," Zi Feng’s face darkened completely.

Originally, having already the likes of Liuyu Hen, Xiang Xing, Nan’an, and He Yunsheng, along with the three great geniuses of the Zizhu Tribe - Zi Han, Zi Qing, Zi Xia - was troublesome enough.

But no one expected that Su Min from the Sword Pavilion Clan, ranking high among the 72 Great Clans in Southern Continent, would also come!

Hearing Su Min’s name, not only did Zi Feng’s expression turn grim, but even the warriors around the bonfire also gasped, seemingly very wary of this person.

Brother Lin curiously asked, "Su Min? Is he very formidable?"

Zi Feng softly replied, "Brother Lin, this Su Min is one of the top three geniuses within the Sword Pavilion Clan, second only to Su Tingzong. In other words, if it weren’t for Su Tingzong, he could have been the most dazzling genius on this Southern Continent!"

"Unfortunately, the brilliance of the three legendary geniuses now overshadows too many talents on the Southern Continent!"

"Do you think he’s strong or not?"

Zi Feng said in a low voice.

Brother Lin nodded with interest.

Following that, Zi Feng, full of fighting spirit, said, "But it’s fine. Since it’s a martial arts competition, it naturally makes sense to engage with the geniuses; that’s the reason why the Zizhu Tribe opened up to outsiders!"

"I also want to see how far away I, Zi Feng, am from these geniuses!"

Seeing Zi Feng brimming with fighting spirit, the other warriors smiled and said, "Good luck, Big Brother Zi Feng, we believe in you!"

Brother Lin also gave a word of encouragement.

At that moment, Brother Lin caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and saw a group of young men and women walking side by side, chatting and laughing.

When Brother Lin saw one of the women, her back looked very familiar, and he immediately stood up, walked over, and called out, "Su Xin!"

Upon hearing the voice, the woman turned around and, upon seeing Brother Lin, immediately broke into a joyful smile, "Brother Lin, you’re out!"
