At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if his head were splitting, as though a thick, coarse iron whip were being tightened cruelly around his skull. He curled up, shuddering like a cat that had just had its tail stepped on. The root cause of this agony was the Green Hoop he wore, which was constricting with such force that it felt as if it would crush his very cranium.
"Ah… it hurts, it hurts so much!" Lin Feng screamed internally, barely managing to keep from crying out loud. The pain had struck so suddenly that, at first, he had been dazed, but Long Zhantian’s warning soon flashed through his mind: "This Green Hoop is the proof of your entry into the supreme Cyan Dao. Wearing it will aid your future cultivation and elevate your attainment of the Dao to the next level. However, you must remember: while cultivating the Cyan Dao, you may harbor feelings of rage and humiliation, but you must never allow the slightest hint of lust, jealousy, or greed to take root. Otherwise, the Green Hoop will tighten around your head, causing you unbearable torment."
The realization hit him like a thunderbolt. So, this was what it meant! He felt a surge of fury, jealousy, and humiliation. He looked toward the trial grounds, where the scene unfolding was meant to be his—he was, after all, Jun Ruoxi’s betrothed.
