第114章 "Resolve Shattered by Fury"

**114 Chapter: The Shattering of Resolve**

Lin Feng's relentless assault had been going on for what felt like an eternity. His fists flew towards Little Fifth with a speed and ferocity that left the old man grinning from ear to ear. But despite the ferocity of the attack, Little Fifth remained utterly unimpressed.

"Ah, Lin Feng, you're really trying to drill into me, aren't you?" Little Fifth chuckled, his eyes sparkling with mirth.

Lin Feng's face twisted in rage as he continued to pummel Little Fifth with all his might. But despite his best efforts, he couldn't seem to land a single hit. Each blow was expertly parried or dodged, leaving Lin Feng feeling increasingly frustrated and enraged.

Suddenly, Lin Feng's fist connected with Little Fifth's chest, but instead of the expected "thud", it felt like he had hit a brick wall. The old man's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Lin Feng with a hint of disappointment.

"You're still using your brute strength, Lin Feng? You're not even trying to use your true abilities," Little Fifth said, his voice laced with disdain.

Lin Feng's face darkened as he felt his pride wounded. He snarled, his eyes blazing with fury.

"I am using my true abilities! You're just trying to provoke me!"

Little Fifth chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Oh, Lin Feng, you're so predictable. You always fall for this trap. But I suppose it's to be expected from someone who relies so heavily on raw power."

Lin Feng's rage boiled over, and he launched himself at Little Fifth with a series of blistering fast punches. But just as he was about to land a devastating blow, the old man vanished into thin air.

Lin Feng stumbled forward, his fists still flying wildly, and crashed into the ground with a thud. He groaned, his face throbbing with pain.

Little Fifth reappeared, a sly grin spreading across his face.

"Ah, Lin Feng, it seems you've finally realized your limitations. Perhaps it's time for you to learn from me, yes?"

Lin Feng's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Little Fifth. But just as he was about to launch himself at the old man again, he heard a faint whisper in his mind.

"Lin Feng, don't fall for it. This is just a test."

Lin Feng's gaze faltered for a moment as he looked around, wondering who was speaking to him. But when he turned back to Little Fifth, his eyes flashed with a newfound determination.

"I won't fall for your tricks, Little Fifth. You're not going to break me."

Little Fifth's grin faltered, and for a moment, Lin Feng saw a glimmer of concern in his eyes. But the old man quickly recovered, his smile returning as bright as ever.

"Ah, Lin Feng, you're learning. But it's not too late to change your mind. Join me, and together we can achieve greatness."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, his heart racing with anticipation. What did Little Fifth mean by his words? And what lay hidden behind his enigmatic smile?

As the two of them stood there, locked in a silent standoff, Lin Feng felt the weight of his decision bearing down upon him. Would he choose to follow the path of destruction, or would he find a new way to rise above his limitations? The choice was his, but the consequences would be far-reaching...
