Over forty unruly strong men simultaneously greeted Lin Feng, which was somewhat exciting to imagine. However, because they were somewhat doubtful about Lin Feng, their voices were not very synchronized, sounding somewhat disorganized and noisy.

"Damn... did none of you guys have breakfast? Shout louder for me!" Bai Yuanshan’s face turned cold, and he shouted sternly.

Lin Feng was about to stop Bai Yuanshan’s actions. To him, these brothers were still strangers, and it wasn’t good to demand so much initially.

However, at this moment, a very discordant voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"Sect Leader, the brothers are not disrespecting you! But this kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair yet looks so unfamiliar. We’ve never seen him before, and suddenly he becomes our boss? It’s really a bit hard to accept... To be frank, the brothers are indeed a bit unconvinced!"

Bai Yuanshan frowned, knowing that the brothers he sent to Lin Feng were picked from various halls as new recruits. He wanted to train these newcomers who didn’t fully understand the rules yet, which is why they were sent to Lin Feng... But Bai Yuanshan couldn’t imagine that among the deliberately selected people, there would be someone daring enough to defy him and openly challenge Lin Feng?!

"Who is speaking?! If you disagree with my decision or don’t want to switch halls, you might as well step out..." Bai Yuanshan, somewhat annoyed in public, didn’t express it directly and instead pretended to ask generously.

"It was me who just spoke! I stand by my name, I’m Bai Zhongshi..." As the deep voice rang again, a gap opened up in the crowd, revealing a tall man about 1.85 meters in height with an exceptionally sturdy build.

The strong man smiled slightly, looking directly at Bai Yuanshan, and said lightly, "Sect Leader, I don’t have a problem with you, nor do I not want to transfer halls. I just think this Lin Feng kid is not fit to be our leader!"

"Your name is Bai Zhongshi? Which hall do you belong to?" Bai Yuanshan frowned, as there weren’t many brothers with the surname Bai in the Hong Sect. He seemed to have heard of this Bai Zhongshi before.

Bai Zhongshi grinned and said to Bai Yuanshan, "Sect Leader, since I dare to step out and talk to you, of course, I’m not afraid to tell you directly that I’m from the third leader..."

Bai Yuanshan was stunned for a moment. The third leader was the Hong Sect’s courtroom, where every brother’s combat power was significantly stronger than those in other halls. Just like the relatively unknown Bai Zhongshi in front of him, who was also a master of Inner Strength level three. If he were in other halls, he would at least be a team captain or deputy sect leader, but Bai Yuanshan didn’t know him before?!

Of course, there was another possibility that this Bai Zhongshi was a master deliberately hidden by Bai Yuanshan’s nephew, Bai Youxian, to prevent him from knowing... This was the actual truth. Bai Yuanshan didn’t think of this because he didn’t understand Bai Youxian’s character, didn’t know Bai Youxian’s attitude towards Lin Feng, and didn’t know what Bai Youxian wanted to do.

Bai Yuanshan was unaware, but Lin Feng knew very well, especially when Bai Zhongshi mentioned to everyone that he was from the third leader. Lin Feng had already guessed that Bai Zhongshi was arranged by Bai Youxian to trouble him!

However, Lin Feng was a bit puzzled. Bai Youxian was also a master of Inner Strength level four. Could he not see that Lin Feng’s cultivation had also advanced to level four? What would be the point of testing him with a level three guy?!

"Lin Feng, don’t bother with this guy’s provocation. I’ll make him behave..." Bai Yuanshan saw Lin Feng focus on Bai Zhongshi, knowing Lin Feng intended to handle Bai Zhongshi himself, kindly stepped in to stop him.

"Haha, Sect Leader... What are you doing!" Bai Zhongshi laughed as he looked at Bai Yuanshan, "If this kid doesn’t dare to step out, I’m afraid these brothers present will look down on him... You might as well let him say a few words!"

Bai Zhongshi’s words obviously struck a chord with the other brothers. Before Bai Zhongshi spoke, they didn’t think it mattered if Lin Feng was a bit younger, considering the Hong Sect prioritized talent. But after Bai Zhongshi spoke, most of them looked at Lin Feng with suspicion, wondering if this young man had real skills?!

This kind of skepticism is contagious. Once one person thought this way, it quickly spread to over forty others, all scrutinizing Lin Feng, who was not physically imposing, with hesitant eyes...

Bai Yuanshan was about to speak when Lin Feng stretched out his hand, gently placing it on Bai Yuanshan’s shoulder, and softly reassured, "Thank you for your good intentions, Mr. Bai. Now that you’ve handed these brothers over to me, they are mine now... Since they’re my men, there’s no need for Mr. Bai to expend any more words!"

Bai Yuanshan was momentarily taken aback, instinctively asking, "Are you confident?"

Xu Yishan and Xu Jing were also looking at Lin Feng with some curiosity at this moment, similarly doubting Lin Feng’s ability to subdue this group of unruly brothers.

Lin Feng didn’t speak, only nodding slightly, and then he stepped forward towards Bai Zhongshi.

Bai Zhongshi’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. He couldn’t discern Lin Feng’s cultivation, not knowing Lin Feng’s Inner Strength was higher than his. He was slightly caught off guard by Lin Feng daring to step out.

"Let me introduce myself first..." Lin Feng swept his gaze calmly across the faces and bodies of over forty tough men in front of him and began speaking in a very calm tone, "My name is Lin Feng, and from now on, I’m your leader... You now have one minute to consider. If you want to leave my thirteenth hall, now is the time to do so. I won’t impose any restrictions on you and will politely send you back to your original hall."

Upon hearing Lin Feng speak like this, Bai Yuanshan’s face changed slightly. Knowing that he’d put considerable effort into gathering so many brothers for Lin Feng, many who already had a foundation in their original halls didn’t want to change halls. Bai Yuanshan had to half-promise, half-coax them to gather so many people for Lin Feng. If Lin Feng spoke like this and most of them wanted to return to their original halls, it wouldn’t just be Lin Feng’s issue, but Bai Yuanshan’s reputation at stake as well.

The more than forty black-clad men glanced at each other, and gradually, some with expressions of dissatisfaction or suspicion stepped out of the line and stood aside...

In just over ten seconds, almost ten people left the line...
