"What do you want?" asked the Second Elder whose voice was trembling as he watched Lin Hai approach.
The crowd had been astonished by Lin Feng's performance. At that moment the crowd had just noticed that Lin Hai was already on the battle stage and was approaching the second elder.
"What do I want? You haven't forgotten our deal of a moment ago, right? Lin Hai said smiling coldly.
"Brother please listen, The Second Elder… no…. Lin Ye is a member of our clan after all… He has always worked hard and performed a valuable service for the clan. Please forgive him this time." Lin Ba Dao said loudly as he quickly tried to block Lin Hai's path.
"Forgive him? Lin Ba Dao, don't you think you're ridiculous? A moment ago, you had all taken advantage of my son and you were completely indifferent. Did you ever ask yourself, how much I, Lin Hai, as head of the clan, have done for the benefit of the Lin clan? Are you saying that you intend to go back on your promise in front of everyone and leave that kind of impression on the young members of the clan?"
Lin Hai's was extremely strict with his rebuke which made Lin Ba Dao embarrassed to have said anything in the first place. The entire chain of events could speak for itself. He wanted to go back on his words but had no argument as to justify his actions. If he went back on his words now then he would surely lose face.
"Now, move out of my way. I would like to announce that Lin Ye, Second Elder, is no longer in charge of his functions. In addition, I'm going to teach him a lesson." Said Lin Hai while moving past Lin Ba Dao.
"If you think things will go that smoothly then you underestimate me." Said Lin Ye while quickly turning to flee.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh."
Lin Hai flicked both of his sleeves lightly which caused the atmosphere to violently vibrate and become icy cold. This was followed by a groan from Lin Ye. He was trying to escape but his body had become completely stiff and he could no longer move an inch. His bones were cold and brittle to the touch. His whole body was covered in a layer of ice and his skin felt like it was burning from the cold.
"BOOOM!"
The ice covering his body shattered causing a terrifying impact. Lin Ye's entire body was still freezing over and the ice was penetrating deep into his body. Blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth but the warm sensation only lasted a moment before that blood would freeze solid. He collapsed onto the ground, unable to keep himself standing. His body looked like it had shrunk as he curled into a ball and rolled on the ground. He was shaking all over and all he could do was try and keep himself as warm as possible. Only his malicious looking eyes were still staring at Lin Hai. With each movement, layers of his skin which had frozen solid were breaking apart causing unbearable pain.
Lin Ye wasn't a weak cultivator. He couldn't be defeated that easily by most of the clan members, but he didn't dare fight against Lin Hai. Lin Hai was like an unmovable mountain, he was unable to tell how strong Lin Hai was exactly, but fighting him was courting death.
Many people watched the scene like statues, unmoving with mouths wide open in shock. They hadn't expected that Lin Hai would be so powerful and even use his powers in cruel ways. It was clear that Lin Ye had enraged the head of the clan and was being punished for it. It was also a clear warning, by showing just how easily he could deal with an elder of the clan, he was warning those who plotted against him that they would be risking their lives. After all, the Second Elder was Lin Ba Dao's assistant.
"Now, lets continue with the annual meeting, I assign the Sixth Elder to take over from where Lin Ye failed. If you cannot follow clan rules or want to refuse then tell me now." Said Lin Hai while rolling up his sleeve which made him look incredibly imposing.
Lin Feng was looking at his father full of admiration, he was smiling from ear to ear. His father was so strong and in this world only the strong deserved respect. Lin Hai didn't usually give such displays of his strength, this was not because he was not strong enough but rather he did not enjoy needless displays of strength.
Nobody dared to call into question what Lin Hai had done to an elder of the clan. Even though Lin Ba Dao and Lin Zhen were furious, they just had to contain their anger and stay silent.
The battles continued. Lin Feng was the strongest of the fourth group. Only Lin Yu was at the eighth Qi layer, all the others were at the seventh Qi layer. Six battles later, nobody had been able to take a single blow from the piece of trash, Lin Feng. There was only Lin Yu and Lin Feng left to fight within the fourth group.
As far as the other groups were concerned, in the first group, Lin Qian hadn't fought a single battle, all her opponents had given up before even attempting to fight. In the second and the third group, Lin Hong as well as Lin Wu were undefeated. They had won all their battles as expected. There was another disciple who stood out and his name was Lin Hen. Nobody had expected him to be that strong as there was not much known about his strength previously. He had won all of his battles, but unfortunately he had to fight Lin Wu next. Many clan members thought it would be a good experience to humble him.
Finally the rankings were already in place and soon the third round would begin. The last battles of the third and fourth group were taking place. However the top eight clan members had already been decided.
"Third group: Lin Wu versus Lin Hen. Fourth group: Lin Feng versus Lin Yu." Announced the Sixth Elder. Everybody looked very interested again. These four cultivators were all undefeated in their previous matches. They wanted to see how long Lin Hen would last against Lin Wu. The majority of the crowd was focused on watching to see if Lin Feng would be able to defeat Lin Yu who had already reached the eighth Qi layer.
The crowd erupted in cheers for the upcoming fights. Lin Hen was fighting with Lin Wu who was one of the best junior cultivators of the Lin Clan. This would surely be a great battle to watch.
They had been shocked by Lin Feng but they didn't expect much from him as he was previously only sixth Qi Layer. He could have only reached the seventh Qi layer at most or maybe had just broken through to the eighth Qi layer. How was he supposed to be win against Lin Yu who was already at the peak of the eighth Qi layer? Many members of the clan still had trouble removing the previous association of Lin Feng being useless and a piece of trash. So many assumed he would surrender his next fight.
The four practitioners stepped onto the arena. Lin Hen was pretty straight forward, he cupped his hands before his chest as a sign of respect and said: "We have already qualified for the third round, we do not need to fight unnecessary battles with other clan members."
"Even though we already qualify for the next round, I, Lin Wu, always welcome a fight. I want to show everyone who the strongest of our group is." Said Lin Wu while shaking his head in refusal.
"I Surrender." Said Lin Hen while smiling and completely ignoring Lin Wu's wishes to fight.
"Lin Wu wins." Said the Sixth Elder with a wry smile. It was his son that had just given up…
"Coward." Lin Wu said insulting Lin Hen, then turned around and left. On stage there was only Lin Feng and Lin Yu left.
"Hehe, finally. Lin Yu will fight that piece of trash. I hope that Lin Yu can teach him a good lesson." Said Lin Ba Dao in an ice cold tone. He had thought that Lin Feng would get crippled during the second round but he hadn't expected that Lin Feng had actually become so strong in such a short period. He was no longer weak, like many had thought. He hadn't lost a single battle so far in the fourth group and had not even used more than a single strike.
"Don't worry, Lin Yu is a true member of the Lin Clan, he will definitely show that piece of trash what it means to be strong." Said the Third Elder confidently. He was very confident about his son's abilities and skills. It would be difficult for Lin Yu to finish amongst the top three at the end of the annual meeting but he was hopeful that his son would finish amongst the top five within the younger generation.
"Let's watch and enjoy the show." Said Lin Ba Dao while nodding.
Lin Yu's confident expression had vanished but he still tried to keep his head calm. He couldn't forget that moment when Lin Feng had slapped him. He hated Lin Feng bitterly for that but at the same time, he was also terrified of the monster that stood before him. That piece of trash that was also the clan's young master, had changed into a mysterious beast. Gu Song wasn't weak but had been injured and thrown out of the window by Lin Feng. Lin Yan could use his sword with great skill but when he battled with Lin Feng, his sword had looked like a toy in the hands of a child. Lin Yu didn't have even have a small amount of self confidence in beating Lin Feng.
He could feel the pressure created by the entire audience staring at him, Lin Yu could not help but gulp with the amazing pressure he was under. He really was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Everybody was waiting for him to teach Lin Feng a lesson, including his own father but did he even have the power to do such a thing?
"Since we're already qualified for the next round, do we really need to fight?" asked Lin Yu in a very soft voice.
Lin Feng had a fake smile on his face and kept glaring at Lin Yu yet remained silent.
"Bastard." Thought Lin Yu. He then took a deep breath and said: "I give up."
"Huh?"
The Third Elder as well as the crowd were all stupefied when they heard Lin Yu.
"Did he just give up…?"
At the moment when everyone couldn't wait to see Lin Feng be taught a lesson, Lin Yu surprisingly acted the same way as Lin Hen and chose not to battle.
"What's going on?" Lin Ba Dao asked looking extremely puzzled.
"Maybe Lin Yu wants to humiliate him during the finals." Guessed the Third Elder without being convinced of his own words.
The second round finished. The top clan members were Lin Qian, Lin Hong, Lin Feng, Lin Yu, Lin Wu, Lin Hen, Lin Ying as well as Lin Li.
The third round was also the finals. It consisted of one-on-one battles.
Lin Ying and Lin Li were staring at Lin Feng with longing eyes. They were praying to fight against Lin Feng, they had no grudge with Lin Feng, they had only wanted to guarantee a spot in the top four.
"First battle: Lin Qian versus Lin Ying." Said the Sixth Elder. Lin Ying's face turned white in a second. That was the unluckiest situation he could be in. He was assigned to fight the strongest of all the young clan members.
"Lin Qian, even though I probably will not be able to touch you even once, I still wish to fight. I hope that you can show me how great the distance between us is."
She had no other choice but to fight against Lin Qian. That was going to be her last battle. Everybody was aware that she was definitely going to lose, but she would not surrender her pride.
"I will." Replied Lin Qian cold and detached to the extent that she even looked somewhat arrogant.
"Let's Begin!" shouted Lin Ying advancing towards Lin Qian. She didn't even release her spirit. She was going to lose in any case, but this was a matter of the Lin Clans pride. She only wanted to see how strong Lin Qian was so she could aim to one day be as strong as her.
"Ice." Shouted Lin Qian. Lin Ying's hand hadn't even touched Lin Qian yet but her hand was already feeling extremely heavy as if it weighed one thousand jin and the speed had dropped drastically.
In an instant, Lin Qian's tiny hand was already on Lin Ying, whose body was already covered with a layer of frost.
"You lose." Lin Qian shook her hand and Lin Ying immediately collapsed onto the ground. Lin Ying was shaking on the ground from the cold. She looked similar to the Second Elder a moment ago, but much less pitiful.
"How strong! So that what a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer is capable of. What a power! Good thing that I don't have to fight against Lin Qian." Said the others who felt lucky they didn't have to fight against Lin Qian.
"First battle: Lin Qian wins. Second battle: Lin Hong versus Lin Yu." Announced the Sixth elder.
"I give up." Said Lin Yu making a wry smile. He was obviously not going to fight against Lin Hong. He hadn't thought he would successively give up twice. He was eliminated.
"Second battle: Lin Hong wins. Third battle: Lin Feng versus Lin Li."
"Pheww, awesome." Lin Li had a big smile on his face. Lin Li was at the peak of the eighth Qi layer. He thought all the others would be quite hard to defeat but Lin Feng should be an easy win.

Second release here for you all. Special thank you goes to Joseph G Eddy R. Joseph told me not to tire myself out, he is clearly not supporting your addiction…KILL!!! hehe Special thanks to him for supporting the chapters and looking out for me xoxo
I hope you enjoy this one. I made sure it was a cliffhanger, because I know you all love Cliffhangers. ????
"It seems like today is my lucky day." Said Lin Li while getting onto the battle stage and facing Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was completely expressionless. When he saw Lin Li's resplendent smile, he thought: "Lucky Day, eh?" Lin Li was maybe going to think differently a short instant later.
Lin Feng did seem to be very lucky to most of the clan members watching the annual meeting. During the first round, Lin Qian had helped him to move into the next round. During the second round, the strongest of the group, Lin Yu, had given up and shown him mercy. It had been so easy for him that he did not even have the chance to show his full strength and many believed he had recently broke into the eighth Qi Layer. And even during the third round, he was still extremely lucky, his first fight was against the weakest of all the remaining participants: Lin Li. He would still not have the chance to show his strength.
"Maybe the Sixth Elder had arranged things that way." Thought Lin Feng.
"You can attack first, okay? Let's have a good fight" said Lin Li as if he had already won the fight and was selecting his next opponent.
"Alright." Said Lin Feng while nodding.
"Moonlight Feather Agility, Nine Heavy Waves." Shouted Lin Feng. As Lin Feng arrived right next to Lin Li, Lin Li was still smiling.
The shock waves within the air caused a huge pressure to consume the atmosphere. Terrifying wave upon terrifying wave was vibrating through the air around Lin Feng's fist. Lin Li's smile was still on his face but at the same time he looked terrified, he had planned to withstand the attack and then win by showing overwhelming strength but now he was terrified of his opponent. Wasn't it too late to take his words back?
"BOOOM!!"
"You Lose."
Lin Li's body flew away. His smile was almost rigid on his face and that looked really embarrassing. One punch, one punch was all it had taken to eliminate him. He no longer believed he was lucky.
"It seems like nobody has put Lin Feng in their eyes. How strong is he?" thought Lin Li.
Only Lin Feng knew how powerful his attacks could become. It seemed like his nine heavy waves were in perfect fusion with the entire universe surrounding them, they even seemed to borrow the power of the atmosphere as it was consumed by the vibrations. His waves gave the impression of being in the middle of a vast and boundless ocean which nobody could escape. There was no choice but to be swallowed by the powerful waves.
The most terrifying thing was that Lin Feng hadn't received a single injury in any of his fights. Lin Feng's effortlessly dodged all incoming attacks and dealt with his opponent with a single blow. There was not even a speck of dust on his robes, he was untouchable.
"Piece of trash…..Is this what we call a true genius?" Lin Li didn't have the least bit of hate or resentment in his eyes. He was staring at Lin Feng with respect and even a hint of remaining fear. He knew that Lin Feng had shown him mercy and was terrified by the outcome if he had not received mercy.
"Lin Feng wins." Declared the Sixth Elder. The crowd deeply sighed.
"It had to be a trick. Lin Li was at the eighth Qi layer. This must have been something which was previously arranged. He is truly cunning"
"What Qi Layer is Lin Feng even at?"
The entire crowd suddenly had the impression that the piece of trash they were looking at had completely transformed and become something mysterious. He had either become extremely sly and cunning or held the strength of eighth Qi Layer. No matter which it was, he had gained the curiosity and respect of many clan members.
"He took him by surprise with a sneak attack. That piece of trash is the same piece of trash as before. He's just a coward." Said Lin Wu in an extremely disdainful tone when he heard all the comments of the crowd.
"That's right. It must be that way. Lin Feng could only win with a sneak attack because Lin Li was unprepared. Otherwise, how could he have thrown Lin Li from the stage that easily?" said some clan members in support of Lin Wu
They thought that they had understood what had happened from Lin Wu's words and some people had even started insulting Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng ignored the comments as this was nothing he had not heard previously, however now he would make them all pay. All those who had humiliated him would be punished. A piece of trash? Took him by surprise? Everyone will be disappointed.
Fourth battle: Lin Wu versus Lin Hen.
While looking at them on the battle stage, Lin Feng's eyes showed curiosity. During the last round, Lin Wu and Lin Hen were in the same group but during the last fight of their group, Lin Hen had refused to fight and surrendered. But this round, Lin Hen and Lin Wu were opponents again, could it be that the Sixth Elder had done this on purpose?
"We have already made it this far, we do not need to fight unnecessary battles with other clan members. Do we even need to fight?" said Lin Wu jokingly while looking at Lin Hen. Lin Hen was just a coward scared to fight, nothing more.
"There is no need." Replied Lin Hen while shaking his head and smiling.
"Such a coward."
"He is making the Lin Clan lose face."
Many people started to insult him. Lin Hen had already qualified before when he gave up so that was excusable, but giving up now was really unforgivable. That was a disgrace to the Lin Clan.
"Coward. If you're not fighting then get lost! Get down off the battle stage." Said Lin Wu who was really angry to hear him give up again.
Lin Hen was looking at Lin Wu and suddenly had a strange expression on his face. He didn't get down off the battle stage, instead, he moved forwards to Lin Wu.
"I will just count down from three to one, if you don't get off my stage before the time is up, then do not blame me for being merciless." Said Lin Hen.
Killing intent could be seen on his face. Suddenly a powerful chaotic energy surrounded his body and crashed down onto Lin Wu.
"Three." Counted Lin Hen.
At that moment, Lin Wu's entire body was trembling, he looked like he was frozen with fear. Sweat was beading from his forehead and his face could show his fatigue. He was staring at Lin Hen with eyes filled with shock.
"How is that even possible? How did you possibly?!" Lin Wu was going insane: "How can you have the strength of a cultivator who has reached the Ling Qi Layer?!"
Lin Wu wasn't the only one who was stupefied. Everyone else in the crowd was stupefied. Ling Qi layer. He has just used the power belonging to cultivators of the Ling Qi layer. That quiet and introverted Lin Hen had been hiding his power this whole time. Everyone was shocked at how this young man had hidden such a great power.
Ling Qi layer… apart from Lin Qian, amongst the juniors, it seemed like there was only Lin Hen who had broken through to the Ling Qi layer… and it seemed like Lin Qian was the most outstanding of all the young disciples.
The Sixth Elder was beaming with satisfaction. He had a huge smile on his face. Lin Hen had been secretly cultivating and hiding his abilities. As long as he didn't show his abilities, it was very difficult for others to tell that he had reached the Ling Qi layer. Which showed how careful he had been to hide his power.
"He is good at hiding his real power." Lin Ba Dao thought while looking at the Sixth Elder. But suddenly he realized there was still hope.
"You better adapt to the circumstances." Said Lin Ba Dao looking at the Sixth Elder with a cold smile. Once the annual meeting was over, he would again attempt to become the Head of the Clan. Lin Ba Dao couldn't understand why the previous head on his deathbed, had passed his power to Lin Hai and not to him. Lin Hai was seldom in the Clan when he was young, he would often travel and hide from the clan his destination. Lin Ba Dao was a pillar of the Clan and had dedicated his life to it.
Becoming the Head of the Clan had always been Lin Ba Dao's dream and because he continued to fail at his attempts, there was a knot in his heart.
"Two." Lin Hen's energy was becoming stronger and stronger. It was oppressing Lin Wu so much that he could hardly breathe. He had never felt such a horrible pressure and he regretted his previous arrogance.
Everybody believed that Lin Wu was at the eighth Qi layer but he had actually broken through to the ninth Qi layer not long before. He had thought that he would amaze everyone at this year's annual meeting but his dream hadn't come to reality. He had not been given the chance to show anything exceptional to the audience. Lin Hen was threatening him at that moment and telling him to leave while he still could, otherwise he would have to bear the consequences.
"Before you insult and humiliate other people, you better think twice. I am not willing to fight against you for the sake of the clan. It is not because I am less powerful than you. I despise you and if it were not for the blood we share, I would kill you where you stand" Said Lin Hen. He seemed like a completely different person. The power of the chaotic energy was still increasing and Lin Heng was about to make his final count.
"I give up." Said Lin Wu who felt that he was about to be crushed by the force of the chaotic energy. Then he turned around and left the battle stage without looking back.
"Lin Hen is so strong!" said the crowd as if they were worshiping him. Breaking through to the Ling Qi layer is the dream of every young Cultivator. Reaching it before the age of twenty gave even more chances to break through to even higher layers later such as the Xuan Qi layer or even the extremely powerful Sky Qi layer.
"Very interesting." Said Lin Feng who was laughing. Lin Hen had broken through to the Ling Qi layer… The Sixth Elder had probably voluntarily arranged the battles like he did to promote his own son's fame. Lin Hen had given up during the second round so he really wanted to see Lin Hen fight Lin Wu during the third round. He was happy that Lin Wu had been taught a lesson in front of such a large crowd. He even surrendered like a coward, which he was calling Lin Hen previously.
"Piece of trash, what gives you the right to laugh at me? You're the disgrace of the clan." Lin Wu's expression was hideous when he saw Lin Feng's smile. He couldn't help but shout at him extremely loudly, to the extent that his shout resonated in the entire fighting arena.
When people heard that Lin Wu was shouting at Lin Feng, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Especially Lin Ba Dao who said: "Lin Wu had lost against Lin Hen who had reached the Ling Qi layer so he hadn't lost face at all, but I wouldn't have thought that a piece of trash would dare laugh at him. He really shameless, he's truly a disgrace."
When Lin Zhen heard these few words, he directly felt much better and said in a cold tone: "That piece of trash is overestimating his capabilities."
Lin Hai who wasn't far from them had an extremely cold expression and was repressing the urge to kill them on the spot.
Lin Feng was stupefied. He clearly hadn't thought that Lin Wu had anything to be angry about, he had just been unlucky to have provoked the wrong person with his arrogance. Why would he then try to bully him?
"What are you looking at, piece of trash? Instead of hiding behind your daddy, wouldn't you prefer fighting against me?" Lin Wu was so furious that there was no space in his heart to contain his wrath so he used Lin Feng to release all his anger.
"It's the first time that I see such a ridiculous and laughable person. You just got humiliated because of your own arrogance so you are attempting to bully me. Pathetic."
Lin Feng shook his head and then moved towards Lin Wu.
"I will just count down from three to one, if you do not leave my sight, then do not blame me for being merciless"
Lin Feng had used almost the same words as Lin Hen. The entire area suddenly turned silent. Only Lin Feng's voice could be heard.

Enjoy xoxo
Everyone watching felt confused by Lin Feng's actions, Lin Hen had already broken through to the Ling Qi layer so it was normal for him to threaten Lin Wu.
But Lin Feng was doing the same now and was telling Lin Wu to get out of his sight. The previous shame and humiliation had already made Lin Wu enraged. He had been humiliated by Lin Hen and hadn't felt anger but the fact that that piece of trash dared to humiliate him was unbearable. He felt like a knife was stabbing his heart and his anger could be seen on his bright red face.
"Do you want to die?" Lin Wu was releasing clear killing intent and his gaze was like a wild beast.
At that moment an extremely strong force surrounded Lin Wu and came crashing down onto him, even though it wasn't as strong as Lin Hen's chaotic energy, Lin Wu once again felt fear fill his heart. He had once again been surrounded by an oppressive force that was crushing down onto his whole body.
"Three." Lin Feng started the countdown in a low voice. The power of the force which was crushing Lin Wu's body was growing stronger and stronger over time. Lin Wu was almost suffocating from the energy filling the atmosphere. All his feelings, wrath, shame, resentment suddenly all vanished. The only feeling he had left was fear and self preservation.
He was at the ninth Qi layer and the piece of trash which was facing him was using energy strong enough to suppress him. Was he also Ling Qi Layer?
Everybody was confused, they only saw that Lin Wu was suddenly panicked and gasping for breath. Lin Feng was walking slowly and calmly towards Lin Wu which gave everyone the impression that time had stopped. Even if the crowd could sense the Qi contained within the force which was released by Lin Feng, it was in perfect harmony with the elements.
Lin Feng looked like a completely different person in the eyes of the Lin Clan members. Lin Feng seemed to be in perfect balance with the elements and forces between heaven and earth.
"Two." Said Lin Feng while taking another step forward. Even if he wasn't shouting, his words felt like a hammer stroking Lin Wu's chest. Lin Wu's heart was pounding. He could only think of ways to flee this current situation. However he could barely move.
The force had become much stronger than the initial pressure. Lin Wu was still feeling extremely oppressed and at the same time was trying to escape backwards. It didn't even look like a battle was happening. It looked ridiculous, his confidence had disappeared even though Lin Feng had only taken two steps forward.
"What's going on? Lin Wu is trying to escape?" whispered members who were watching the events.
"I really think that Lin Feng has unlocked his hidden talent, can he really be called trash anymore? It's almost as if he has unsheathed a sword and is cutting down the pride of anyone who was trying to obstruct his way."
"There is one last word left." Said Lin Feng while smiling at Lin Wu but it seemed like Lin Feng was making fun of Lin Wu. Lin Wu, was a true coward in every sense of the word, when faced with the pressure stronger than his own, he never even attempted to fight.
Lin Wu had a spear in his hand which fell down onto the ground. He looked very weak and fragile. Lin Hen hadn't needed to humiliate him that much, he knew himself that his strength wasn't sufficient to fight back against the Ling Qi Layer. Lin Feng's force though had completely destroyed his self confidence and humiliated him much worse than Lin Hen. He had the feeling that he was never truly strong and the strength he had was just a fantasy created by his arrogance when bullying the weak. That kind of humiliation was truly scary and would take root deep inside the subconscious, making any advancements in the path of cultivation much more difficult.
"I give up." Said Lin Wu while biting his lips. He seemed to gain a small insight into the world. He used to regard himself as infallible, he believed he was extremely powerful and because of that he was extremely arrogant. He couldn't bear thinking about how he used to be.
"Give up?" said Lin Feng while smiling. "I said to get out of my sight. Since I can still see you, I will give you one last chance to get out of my sight by crawling on your belly like the worm you are."
He was humiliating him over and over again. Could the anger that he felt be satisfied with only words?
If Lin Wu had been able to defeat Lin Feng, Lin Feng would have been humiliated and endlessly bullied. Lin Wu would have never let him off so easily… but when Lin Wu found out that he couldn't defeat Lin Feng then he would just give up, were these words really enough? What about the horrible things he had said before? Could they be forgotten that easily?
It was obviously impossible. Lin Feng wasn't a sage, he was just an ordinary young man, an ordinary young man with feelings such as hate, love, courage and revenge.
"I give up. Isn't it enough? You really want me to crawl away?" Lin Wu was furious and had started yelling again.
"Is giving up enough to make us even? You call me a piece of trash, the disgrace of the Lin Clan… how should I punish you for your insults. Do you think it's enough? You got humiliated by him and then take it out on me. Do you think it's enough?" said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. "Now you realize that you cannot compete with me and only say a few words and you think it's enough. Are you looking to die today?"
Lin Wu was extremely scared.
"It seems like time has come." Lin Feng had a smile on his face. "I will give you one last chance. If you do not get out of my sight, you will bear the consequences of your actions."
While saying this, Lin Feng kept moving forwards. Lin Wu groaned and immediately laid down on the ground. He looked extremely ashamed and weak.
Lin Feng had an aura which was filled with killing intent which left Lin Wu extremely frightened. Regardless of his feelings of shame and resentment, Lin Feng's killing intent scared him back to reality. He has never felt such a murderous intent before, it was truly terrifying.
"I'll get out of your sight." Said Lin Wu while forcing a smile. His smile was filled with regret and shame. He crawled on the ground away from Lin Feng.
"Piece of trash. Disgrace of the Clan."
"That piece of trash is the same piece of trash as before."
While crawling on the ground, Lin Wu remembered all the horrible names and insults he had given Lin Feng. He knew that he was acting like a fool. He was at the ninth Qi layer, he was an outstanding disciple and one of the clans future stars, why had he ended up being so petty?
Everybody in the crowd was looking at Lin Wu crawling on the ground. They couldn't believe their eyes. They only thought that Lin Feng was insane, suddenly demanding Lin Wu to crawl on the ground and get out of his sight. They wouldn't have thought that he had meant it or that Lin Wu would actually do it.
"Lin Wu." Said Lin Zhen. He was shaking. How did such an event come to pass? His son should have the same prideful expression on his face that he always had, he should be the pride of the Clan, a true genius who is just a little weaker than Lin Qian… but in such a short time, Lin Wu had been humiliated twice, to the extent that the second time, he was crawling on the ground like a worm.
"Bastard." Lin Zhen was furious. He wanted to kill Lin Feng on the spot.
"Uugh."
Lin Hai lazily sighed when he saw that Lin Zhen was furious. It seemed like the entire space was growing colder, ready to punish Lin Zhen for any actions he made.
"Calm down." Lin Ba Dao had noticed that Lin Zhen was furious and apathetically added: "Don't worry, that piece of trash will not be arrogant for much longer."
Lin Zhen was still as furious as before. He stared at Lin Hai and then sat down. He knew that he could not do as he pleased as long as Lin Hai was there.
"Lin Feng wins." Said the Sixth Elder while staring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng wasn't like the great majority of the junior members of the Lin Clan. He hadn't inherited a fire or ice spirit, instead he had inherited a small snake spirit. But that small snake spirit wasn't like a normal beast spirit. Nobody knew what use it had, it didn't seem to be that strong or powerful. Because they could not sense its power and did not know the uses of such a spirit, it was deemed a trash spirit. That is why Lin Feng was called a piece of trash by everyone. He was regarded as a disgrace.
Lin Feng also practiced at an extremely slow pace on the path of cultivation which made him even more infamous within the clan. Everybody despised him. But that piece of trash had defeated Lin Yan and had made Lin Wu, who considered himself above ordinary members of the clan, crawl on the ground like a worm. Was he still the piece of trash he used to be? Was his spirit really useless?
"When the father is a dragon, the son can never be a snake." Thought the Sixth Elder. He then said "Have a rest for half an hour and then we'll continue with the upcoming battles."
"Elder, we four are not tired, we don't need to rest. Let's continue now, please." Said Lin Qian in a nonchalant way. Even if she was extremely arrogant towards the other members of the Lin Clan, she was slightly more polite recently. Elders of the Lin Clan didn't mind her being arrogant but Chu Zhan Peng did not like her arrogance, she was being taught to not be arrogant to those who are stronger than her.
"My sister is right, let's continue now." Added Lin Hong. Both brother and sister had reached the semifinals. This day was a wonderful one for Lin Ba Dao and his standing within the clan. This would make his attempt to become clan head go very smoothly.
The Sixth Elder looked at Lin Feng: "What is your opinion?"
Regarding his son, Lin Hen, he already knew his opinion. Which only left Lin Feng.
"No problem, we can continue." Said Lin Feng while nodding. Until that moment, he hadn't really used his power anyway.
"If you're all alright with it, then let's continue right now." Declared the Sixth Elder. "The semifinals will be as such: Lin Feng versus Lin Hong and Lin Qian versus Lin Hen. Lin Feng and Lin Hong, you can start first."
"The Sixth Elder unexpectedly made Lin Hen fight against Lin Qian. He must really expect a lot from him."
"Lin Hen is at the same level as Lin Qian, they have both broken through to the Ling Qi layer. Lin Hong is also extremely strong but couldn't compete with them. As far as Lin Feng is concerned, it's also impossible for him to defeat Lin Hen. Only Lin Qian could compete with him. The Sixth Elder probably thinks like that and that's why he arranged the battles that way. The way the battles are arranged is not important anyway, what is important is strength."
Everybody was making all sorts of comments on the matchups. But at that time, Lin Ba Dao stood up and said in a clear loud voice: "Sixth Elder, would you allow me to say a few words?"
"Alright." Said the Sixth Elder while nodding.
"These four juniors are at the highest ranks of this year's annual meeting, they represent the new generation of our Lin Clan and its future prospects. I think that forfeiting should be declared invalid. Only fighting until one of them can no longer continue, they should fight like true warriors of the Lin Clan until the end. That way, they will be forced to fully exploit their potential and perhaps even gain insight towards their path of cultivation." Said Lin Ba Dao with assurance while looking at Lin Hai every once in a while as if he was trying to provoke him.
"How cruel. It seems like he really wants Lin Hong to cripple Lin Feng." Said some members of the crowd. They had all understood Lin Ba Dao's thoughts. They could tell that he had nothing but cruel intentions.
"Clan Head, what do you think about my proposal?" Lin Ba Dao asked Lin Hai who had the feeling that Lin Ba Dao was constantly positioning his knife behind Lin Hai's back with the words "Clan Head". He was smiling at Lin Hai. If Lin Hai didn't accept, Lin Feng would lose face. If he did accept and Lin Feng lost, that would ruin the reputation of his family. Lin Ba Dao had seized this opportunity to destroy his competition.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter, I made sure to end with some action…….and a tiny cliffhanger xoxox
Lin Hai looked embarrassed. Lin Feng had already shown more strength than expected. He felt gratified but Lin Ba Dao's proposal was insane. Even if Lin Feng managed to defeat Lin Hong, what would happen during the final? Lin Ba Dao wanted to see Lin Feng die by the hands of one of his children.
"What's going on? The Head of my Clan cannot show some courage and resolution. Allow our juniors to show what they are capable of in a real battle." Lin Ba Dao said when he saw that Lin Hai was hesitant and not replying.
"Father, hurry up and accept." Said Lin Feng
Lin Feng couldn't help but shiver a little bit. Lin Feng's family had never done wrong to Lin Ba Dao's family and had never considered them as enemies, they even considered them as close relatives but Lin Ba Dao's family was constantly trying to manipulate Lin Hai and would constantly make attempts on Lin Feng's life. Since they wanted to do things in such a way, Lin Feng's would have to return the favor.
Lin Hai looked at Lin Ba Dao's expression. He looked extremely confident. Lin Hai just said one word: "Alright."
"Alright, Lin Hai definitely deserves to be the Head of the Clan. He's brave. Since the Clan Head has agreed, let's get started! Sixth Elder, allow Lin Qian and Lin Hen to fight first, please." Lin Ba Dao looked high-spirited and vigorous. He was feeling very satisfied. Since Lin Hai had accepted, everyone just had to wait and see.
"Ok." Said the Sixth Elder while nodding.
"You should give up. You cannot defeat me." Said Lin Qian while getting on the fighting stage. She was dusting off her red robes which remained untouched, she looked insufferably arrogant.
"Even if I cannot defeat you, we still have to fight to determine the results." Lin Hen said preparing to start fighting. He released his fire spirit and the atmosphere became unbelievably hot. Heat roared from the stage and the whole crowd could feel warmth on their faces.
"Your spirit has also awakened, not bad. What a pity though that it's only a fire spirit. It isn't worth much. You still won't have a chance when fighting against me." Said Lin Qian in a cold and detached tone. On the path of Cultivation, one of the major steps was to reach the Ling Qi layer and then to have one's spirit awaken. Some people's spirit became much stronger when it awoke and where as some spirits did not vary much from others and were just average strength.
After being awakened, Lin Qian's universal ice and fire spirit had become infinitely stronger. Her control over the elements of ice and fire had reached new heights.
Her universal ice and fire spirit appeared behind her back. The clear ice was covered in flames. The raging flames were covering the ice and the fire seemed to be emitting frost at the same time. The atmosphere was sometimes extremely hot, sometimes extremely cold, it was an extremely strange feeling for the crowd who continued to feel the altering temperatures.
"I had heard that Lin Qian's universal ice and fire spirit was about to awaken. It wasn't only a rumor. It really is an awakened spirit. She really is the genius of the Lin Clan. Lin Feng, that piece of trash, is not even worthy of her attention."
"Exactly. No wonder so many of the elders support her. Besides, the universal ice and fire spirit is a high class spirit. She can practice fire as well as ice techniques. Which can also greatly improve her agility techniques, by combining knowledge of fire and ice based techniques and using them simultaneously. She will definitely become a powerful practitioner."
When Lin Ba Dao heard these clan members whisper about his daughter, he couldn't help but have a huge smile on his face. All the elders next to him were also smiling.
"Everlasting Snow!"
Lin Qian had said in an apathetic tone. The ground turned into ice. A white fog was rising in all directions and formed clouds which emanated an icy aura.
Ice has a restraining effect on fire, therefore Lin Qian had used an ice skill to counter Lin Hen.
"Scorching Magma." Shouted Lin Hen. He opened his hand and there was a blazing hot fireball in his palm.
"Ice Spike." Said Lin Qian contented and not scared at all. Ice collapsed into Lin Hen's hand and in an instant, his hand was enclosed within a layer of ice.
"Ignite." Said Lin Hen while coughing because of the ice within the air which hurt his lungs. The ice turned into vapor which froze the air making it hard to breathe. Lin Hen's hand was extreme painful, he couldn't tell exactly where the pain was but he had the feeling his head was going to explode.
"BOOOM!"
A sudden explosion and Lin Hen was sent flying backwards. The center of his palm was burned black. The flesh and blood of his hand was in terrible shape.
"Lin Hen." Said the Sixth Elder with worry.
"I'm alright." Said Lin Hen while biting his lip. He was shivering and his jaw could not stop moving, one could hear the sound of his clacking teeth. He was enduring a strong and violent pain. The pain in his hand was agonizing as the ice was trying to freeze the wound causing even greater pain.
"We will have a rematch in the future." Said Lin Hen while staring at Lin Qian. He then turned around and left. It made his father sigh. Even though Lin Hen wasn't really naturally talented, he was extremely determined and stubborn. He wanted to become a man of overwhelming power. Even if he did not have talent, he would work harder than anyone else to become strong.
"You will never be able to defeat me, give up on trying." Said Lin Qian arrogant as always. She was going to be so strong in the future that nobody in the Lin Clan would be able to compete with her. If no one could touch her now, how would they in the future when she grew stronger with her spirit.
"Universal fire and ice spirit… She is able to use two elements of antagonistic power in the blink of an eye. Her potential will continue to increase." Lin Hai was frowning. The stronger Lin Qian was, the more dangerous it became for Lin Feng.
"It's your turn." Said Lin Qian while smiling coldly at Lin Feng and then came down off the battle stage.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the clear and boundless sky and the sun.
Lin Feng was walking slowly towards the battle stage and then stepped onto it. Lin Hong was already waiting for him there.
"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." Said Lin Hong while looking at Lin Feng.
"I know." Said Lin Feng while nodding.
"You never had a single hope for victory. You are going to fight me now but even if you had fought against Lin Qian, it would have been the same, there was never any chance for you to come out of the unscathed."
Lin Feng just laughed. Lin Hong had so much self confidence that surrounded him like an aura. Lin Feng, in his eyes, had no value.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Lin Hong. "Do you think that because you won against Lin Wu, you can compete with me? If you believe we are the same then you are still too immature and overestimate your abilities."
"Just go ahead and say that you are unmatched beneath the heavens. Say that I will never see such an amazing talent such as yourself in the next ten thousand years. " said Lin Feng in a teasing tone.
Lin Feng hadn't even fought against Lin Wu and had managed to make him crawl on the ground like a worm. Lin Hong who hadn't broken through to the Ling Qi layer yet and thought he could be that self confident.
Obviously, Lin Hong was furious at those words.
"Alright, I understand. I will just have to kill you." Lin Hong said with an evil look. Behind him appeared an ice and snow spirit and a freezing cold Qi surrounded his body.
"Ling Qi layer. Lin Hong had also broken through to the Ling Qi layer. He was also hiding it." Shouted members of the audience
"No wonder that their father plays a dominant role in the Lin Clan. His son and daughter are both geniuses which are only seen every thousand years. They have both broken through to the Ling Qi layer. This is incredible for our clan's future prospects. I think the clan definitely needs to change its Head of Clan now." Many people were getting very agitated thinking that Lin Ba Dao should become the Head of the Clan. They thought it would mean the rise of the clan into new heights of fame and glory. They thought the clan would become the strongest in Yangzhou City under the control of Lin Ba Dao.
"For this year's annual meeting, I will end up on the battle stage with my sister. You are just a pitiful appetizer before the real fight. You will be crippled with a single strike, your father will step down as Clan Head, he will need the spare time to care for his crippled son." Said Lin Hong revealing his true vile nature.
An ice cold Qi had invaded the entire atmosphere. The Xue Ying Mountain Village only accepted cultivators who possessed an ice and snow spirit. Ice and snow skills, agility techniques, abilities were all extremely powerful. Lin Hong was studying all of these skills at the Xue Ying Mountain Village. His body was diffusing an extremely cold air and it was clear that he wasn't the least bit weak. He was as strong or maybe even stronger than Lin Qian.
Very quickly, Lin Feng's body was covered with a white layer of frost and snow. They hadn't even properly started the battle but Lin Feng was already affected by his opponent.
"Roaring Thunder." Lin Feng took the initiative to strike the first blow. Thunderous roars filled the atmosphere which stupefied everyone. When they saw the sword which was emitted radiant rays of light, they could tell that Lin Feng was also hiding exceptional power. Nonetheless, everyone still only had eyes for Lin Qian, Lin Hen and Lin Hong because they had all broken through to the Ling Qi layer.
Lin Feng's sword thrust towards Lin Hong.
Lin Hong wasn't taking it seriously. He just sluggishly raised his palm and an ice-cold Qi emerged. Lin Feng's long sword was covered with frost and snow as it was deflected.
"Roaring Thunder." Lin Feng's movements were quick and agile. His sword, while shaking from the vibrations of the attack, also shook off the frost and snow that was covering it and once again thrust towards Lin Hong.
"Hmph." Lin Hong was smiling coldly. Lin Hong's palm shot towards Lin Feng's sword. An extremely strong ice Qi arose which made the point of Lin Feng's sword vibrate. A strong energy was starting to fill the atmosphere.
"The Ling Qi layer… Cultivators who have reached it are strong. Strong Qi, agile, physical strength… They're really much stronger than Cultivators of the Qi layer." Lin Feng sensed an extremely strong power going through his sword. He felt gloomy in his heart but his face never changed from his relaxed smile.
"Nine Heavy Waves." Lin Feng pulled his sword back and instantly strong shock waves ran down his arm and shot out from his hand, aimed directly at Lin Hongs chest.
"Huh?" Lin Hong frowned. He would have never thought that Lin Feng was able to use two different skills using both his hands at the same time. That was an extremely difficult thing to achieve but the way Lin Feng did it was completely flawless.
"Piss off." Shouted Lin Hong. Even though he had broken through to the Ling Qi layer, he wasn't dominating the battle at all, against all of his expectations. Ice and snow started whirling together in the air as if they were dancing. The waves suddenly came to a halt and could not move forward.
Lin Feng did not stop and repeatedly thrust his sword towards Lin Hong.
Lin Feng's sword was whistling through the air and thunderous roars were still increasing within the atmosphere. Lin Feng was standing on his feet as firmly as a mountain without taking a step backwards. His sword looked like a ferocious dragon which called forth a violent thunderstorm.
"Wow." Said Lin Hai in a low voice. This is Lin Feng's true power. Movement, skills, techniques were all far above expectations: quick, agile, skillful.
Lin Hong was forced to move back with an ugly expression on his face. Even though he had only made a step back, he was a Cultivator of the Ling Qi layer and he was wildly arrogant and presumptuous. He even said that Lin Feng wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow. Yet each sword attack seemed quicker than the last and Lin Feng had forced him to step back. Obviously, his face was not as bright as when he believed he could defeat Lin Feng in a single strike. He was being humiliated by someone who has not reached Ling Qi Layer.
He could no longer contain his fury at the humiliation he had suffered.

"I am going to kill you!" Lin Hong shouted. "Frozen Shadows!"
The atmosphere became deathly silent and as the temperature started to drop drastically, the ground was starting to freeze solid. An unusual snow started to fall from the sky, shadow snowflakes, they completely surrounded the arena and some even started to whirl around Lin Hong creating what looked like a shield of snow. The temperature continued to drop lower and lower until everything within sight had started to freeze over.
"If you want to kill me, you first need to have the skills to do it." Said Lin Feng as snow continued to fall heavily onto him, his eyebrows were frosty which made them look white but his eyes were like black holes which consumed all life from the atmosphere around him. He stood in place unmoving and as calm as ever.
He took a step forward and the whole stage began to shake, not only the stage but the earth beneath began to tremble violently. The energy contained within Lin Feng's Qi had not weakened within this world of snow, but it had also become much stronger than ever before.
Increasing the energy within his Qi led to increased strength, Lin Feng was determined to finish Lin Hong off quickly by using all of his power. He started to absorb the force contained within the ice and snow then concentrated all of the force into his fist and the tip of his sword. He was not only using the force from the snow and ice within the area but was also borrowing force from heaven and earth. The force which he had absorbed to this point was on a terrifying level.
Lin Feng concentrated force into his left fist while his right arm would thrust out and create earth-shattering thunderous roars in the direction of Lin Hong.
The power of his Roaring Thunder was growing more and more terrifying with each thrust of his sword. His attacks had started to look like real lightning bolts bursting through the air. It seemed like the entire snow filled atmosphere was getting cut into pieces by the power of thunder and lightning.
Lin Hong's pupils shrunk in shock. Lin Feng's sword was even more powerful now than just a moment before. The snow atmosphere created was intended to weaken his attack power, not increase it. Not only were his attacks growing stronger but they also emanated a strong force. It seemed like the force of all the elements were becoming sword force which consumed the snow, adding to its power.
Lin Hong raised both his hands up in the air, Lin Hong wasn't underestimating Lin Feng's power any longer. He started using a strong Qi of ice and snow, which began to fill the air before disappearing into Lin Feng's sword. Lin Hong could not believe his eyes, his power was being absorbed and converted into the opponents attack power.
"Anything that stands in the way of a Sword Master will be annihilated! There is no power which can dominate the sword!" Said Lin Feng. He made another step and his sword started radiating light. The power contained within the tip of this sword looked more powerful than anything within heaven and earth.
Lin Feng began walking towards Lin Hong. With each step a thunderous roar filled the air as his sword thrust against the snow between him and Lin Hong.
Lin Hong stepped back, and then stepped back again. He was unconsciously retreating as his body could sense the danger.
Lin Hong looked like he had just seen a ghost. His face was incredibly pale.
At that moment, the entire crowd was absolutely amazed at what they could see. Lin Feng was continuing to advance while Lin Hong retreated.
"How is this even possible?"
"How could Lin Feng be so strong?"
"Lin Hong has broken through to the Ling Qi layer! Yet he continues to retreat from Lin Feng's sword."
The crowd did not know how to explain the fact that Lin Feng was so unbelievably strong. The difference between the Qi layer and the Ling Qi layer wasn't small, it was a huge gap which required a cultivator to be extremely talented to overcome the difference in power, and to do it at such a young age required a true genius. How could Lin Feng, the trash of the Lin Clan, have become a genius in such a short time?
Lin Ba Dao was even more astonished. His face had become extremely twisted and ugly. His killing intent towards Lin Feng had grown even stronger.
Lin Hai looked amazed, he had a big smile on his face and a proud look in his eyes. No wonder Lin Feng had so much confidence. He was so strong when using a sword, it seemed like Lin Feng had hidden his true strength his entire life.
"It seems like Little Feng has never released his spirit. If his spirit awakens, what kind of spectacle would it be?" thought Lin Hai. His thoughts were racing. He felt endlessly gratified. It seemed like he was witnessing the abrupt rise of his son. It seemed like his son wasn't a piece of trash actually, but rather a legend in the making.
Lin Hai glanced at Lin Ba Dao in a teasing way.
"ARGHHHH" Lin Hong was going insane. He was shouting like a madman while trying to create another snow based barrier.
"Why are you shouting?" asked Lin Feng while smiling coldly. The Qi of the sword was rolling in the atmosphere creating strong gusts of wind which conquered anything that came into their path. Lin Hong had no chance to win any longer. Every attack he used would only strengthen the force contained within Lin Feng's sword.
"Whoosh"
Lin Feng's sword made a whistling sound. The Qi of Lin Hong's snow shield was destroyed by Lin Feng's sword again. This time however, Lin Hong wasn't able to withstand the full attack. His clothes were ripping into pieces and blood was dripping down his body. The sword had not struck him but the Qi from the attack had caused him to end up in such a sorry state.
Lin Hong could feel a chill running down his spine as his body grew cold. It was the first time that his own Qi had made him feel cold, so cold that it was chilling him to the bone. Even more shocking the Qi which injured him was his own. Not only was he injured but his life was now at stake. Lin Feng's sword had no mercy contained within. If there was a single opportunity, Lin Feng… would kill him.
That's right, at that moment, Lin Hong became aware of how dangerous the situation had become for him. Until now, he had thought that he would be able to attack Lin Feng without retaliation, able to take Lin Feng's life but he had never thought that the situation would be the exact opposite.
Lin Hong hated himself for not practicing his agility techniques. He could not see a way for him to retreat from this situation. All of Lin Feng's attacks were flawless. He was in complete fusion his sword Qi.
"BOOOM!"
A strong wind destroyed the snow filled atmosphere. Lin Feng had started to move and the atmosphere itself was twisting and exploding. It looked like the apocalypse and the only thing left standing within was a single sword.
"This looks dangerous." Lin Ba Dao looked glum and shouted: "You animal, you are clearly stronger, don't you dare…!"
"Shut up! Lin Ba Dao, have you forgotten that you are the one who suggested this situation? Now that Lin Hong is not able to defeat Lin Feng, you want to intervene?" said Lin Hai preventing Lin Ba Dao from getting involved. He moved and seemed to disappear, he was instantly in front of Lin Ba Dao. He no longer had any mercy left for Lin Ba Dao, he had given up hope. Even if Lin Hai still had friendly feelings for Lin Ba Dao from the past, Lin Ba Dao bore a bitter hatred for him and his son. Considering Lin Ba Dao wanted to take Lin Feng's life, Lin Hai could only be just as ruthless.
"AAAHHHHH"
Lin Hong gave a horrible shriek making Lin Ba Dao's face change drastically. "Out of my way!" He shouted as he tried to move past Lin Hai.
"Don't imagine you can act as you wish with such little power." Lin Hai released his spirit, it seemed like the universe had frozen and time had stopped. Lin Ba Dao had frozen over where he stood.
"I am not in the mood anymore, since you and your direct family constantly tries to take my life. You should just die here." Lin Feng was gazing at Lin Hong who was covering his wounds trying to prevent the blood from spilling onto the stage. Lin Feng looked completely heartless at this moment. He watched Lin Hong with a cold smile on his face.
Lin Feng looked like he was deciding whether to chop him in half horizontally or vertically.
"Don't you dare!" shouted a fragile voice. It was Lin Qian. Her Ice and fire spirit burst out of her body. Lin Feng had the sensation he was burning and freezing at the same time. Lin Qian was quickly approaching him.
"Get lost!" Lin Feng turned around. He thrust out his sword and unleashed all of the contained force and an endless amount of Qi.
"BOOOM!!"
The ice and fire filling the atmosphere dispersed in an instant.
"Die." shouted a cold voice from behind him, before Lin Feng could turn around a sword had already pierced his throat.
An extremely strong power was unleashed within the atmosphere and Lin Feng was sent flying backwards. Blood began to spray endlessly from his throat as he flew through the air.
"You have no integrity and no morals." Lin Hai shouted in a long and mournful cry. While Lin Hai was preventing Lin Ba Dao from getting involved, Lin Zhen rushed to the stage and used the opportunity to cut Lin Feng's jugular.
"Ice Age!" Lin Hai had gone into a rage. The entire atmosphere froze, Lin Zhen had a gloomy face as he sensed an incomparably strong ice Qi strike him in the face. Everyone in the crowd had been frozen into place.
"Help me!" shouted Lin Zhen
It was already too late. Lin Hai's palm was already in front of him and then smashed down into his chest. His pupils were wide open while staring at Lin Hai.
"You… actually ….dared to kill me…" Blood was uninterruptedly spilling out of Lin Zhen's mouth. Lin Hai didn't just attack Lin Zhen's chest but had sent his ice Qi into his body which had destroyed most of his organs. Lin Hai had already sealed Lin Zhen's fate.
" Lin Zhen, you attacked my son by surprise, I will never forgive you." Lin Hai's tone was extremely cold. Lin Hai's hand was shaking with anger. Lin Zhen's eyes were wide open and staring at Lin Hai with hatred and resentment as he slowly died.
Everyone looked as rigid as statues. Had the Lin Zhen been killed so easily?
At that moment, the entire crowd looked at Lin Hai. Their eyes were filled with fear. Only an extraordinary strength of this level could bring terror to the hearts of everyone present. Was there really such a monster within the Lin Clan?. At that moment, Lin Ba Dao didn't dare move a finger.
Lin Hai turned around and looked at Lin Qian and said in a cold and detached tone: "A genius of the Hao Yue Sect? A genius of the Snow Shadow Mountain Village? Both of you are shameless trash."
Lin Qian bit her lips. She could see Lin Hai's murderous intentions. She didn't dare say a word. He started walking, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Everyone feared that a single sound could cause the deaths of everyone present.
He was moving towards Lin Qian because Lin Hong had lost the battle but Lin Zhen as well as Lin Qian had attacked Lin Feng by surprise. When they thought that Lin Hong would be able to defeat Lin Feng, they wanted to push the battles as far as possible without the possibility of surrender, hoping that Lin Feng would die. When they found out that nothing was happening the way they had expected, they wanted to get involved and attacked Lin Feng by surprise and cut his throat, how could Lin Hai not be furious?
"What do you intend to do?" Lin Qian asked staring at Lin Hai.
"Exterminate you all." Said Lin Hai with a clear voice. At that moment, nothing could calm his anger.

"Would you dare to kill me?" Lin Qian asked whose face looked completely frozen.
"Why wouldn't I?" replied Lin Hai grinning with the same killing intent filling his eyes.
"Lin Hai, do you know what you are doing?" shouted Lin Ba Dao and some other elders who were in panic.
"Lin Hai, you bastard! Who do you think it is that you are threatening?"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. Today, I will kill anyone who gets in my way." Lin Hai said while his eyes looked over the crowd. His gaze pierced like daggers.
Lin Hai looked at the elders miserable expressions, narrowed his eyes and suddenly a distant voice was heard.
"Is that so?"
Somewhere in the territory of the Lin Clan, a vast and powerful force with an incredible Qi burst out. Immediately after, the crowd noticed a human silhouette about a kilometer away. The figure flew at an incredible speed, moving over the crowd and landing on the fighting stage.
It was an old man. His eyebrows were as black as ink, he looked extremely mysterious. His frame was sturdy and he was as tall as Lin Hai. He looked extremely similar to Lin Ba Dao.
"Honorable Elder." whispered Lin Hai and then immediately smiled but it looked like a sorrowful smile. It was his uncle: Lin Rui.
Lin Rui is usually always practicing cultivation within the Lin Clan territory. Each time there was a problem, whether it was important or not, the Head of the Clan and the Elders dealt with them. Lin Rui would almost never break his training and come to meet with the clan.
"Honorable Elder." everybody was stupefied at the display of power he had just shown. Flying through the sky like he was walking in a quiet and peaceful courtyard, it required incredibly strong agility techniques and a high level of cultivation.
Lin Feng was lying on the floor powerless as blood still poured from his throat, he quickly swallowed a few profound healing pills. His wound had begun to heal, but he had lost so much blood that he could only lay there while the pill healed him. While looking up at Lin Rui from the ground, he remembered that he had seen him only twice. The Honorable Elder almost never came out.
"Honorable Elder, Lin Hai, the Clan of the Head, attaches no importance to the Lin Clan. He groundlessly killed the Seventh Elder"
"Right now, he also wants to kill an unprecedented genius of the Lin Clan, Lin Qian. He even threatened all of the elders and clan members present."
"Honorable Elder, please punish Lin Hai for all of his crimes." said the elders, as if Lin Hai was at the origin of all the problems within the clan.
Lin Hai Could only laugh at his situation.
"Lin Hai, what are you laughing at?" asked Lin Rui in an apathetic tone.
"I'm laughing because they are really shameless. Initially, wasn't the Honorable Elder supposed to support the clan from the background and not get involved with the clan, unless the clan was in danger?" Said Lin Hai sarcastically.
"How impudent and presumptuous. How dare you talk to me like this?" Lin Rui said in an ice cold tone and anger filled his eyes.
"Uncle, I am the Head of the Lin Clan. Even if you have the status of an Honorable Elder, it doesn't give you the right to concern yourself with how I handle the affairs of the clan. As clan head, my decision is the final decision on these matters" said Lin Hai stubbornly. He was standing with his back straight and head held high while looking Lin Rui in the eyes.
"What nerves you have! The Honorable Elder is not just any elder, he is also an elder of your own bloodline. You have the audacity to make no distinction between juniors and seniors. That itself counts as a crime against the clan." Lin Ba Dao said in an attempt to incite unrest.
"A crime? I only said that I am the Head of the Clan and my decision on clan affairs are final, that's a fact." Lin Hai knew what the inevitable outcome of that situation was going to be. He turned around and went towards Lin Feng.
A palm filled with ice suddenly shot towards Lin Hai.
Lin Hai kept walking towards Lin Feng, ignoring the incoming attack. The palm of ice landed firmly on Lin Hai's defenseless back. It was an extremely powerful attack, Lin Hai's entire body was immediately covered with frost and a chill filled his body. He was completely white from head to foot and suddenly flew towards Lin Feng looking like a kite with a broken string.
"Huh?!" shouted Lin Hai surprised. He was kneeling down on the ground. He had flown over to Lin Feng and been caught mid air. He was shocked that his son was not dead and seemed unharmed when he caught him. Nonetheless, his facial expression hadn't changed since the beginning.
"Uncle, you attacked me from behind when I was defenseless. From now on, there is no bond that exists between me and this clan and from this day forward I am cutting my blood ties with you." Said Lin Hai with blood spilling out of his mouth. He had been attacked by surprise by Lin Rui. He could feel the cold piercing through to his bones and was slightly shivering from the cold. If Lin Feng hadn't caught him as he flew through the air, he would have landed much farther away.
"Pfff, we are indeed blood related. You are my family, so I will not kill you. Just get lost." Lin Rui said coldly. He hadn't expected that Lin Hai wouldn't block the attack so he had attacked without hesitation. He had mixed feelings about what had just happened. Lin Qian was starting to be well known in the clan as a genius. She had a bright future before her and she would raise the clan to new levels of fame and status. If the clan rose in fame and status then Lin Rui could also gain benefits.
"The skills and abilities of that piece of trash, Lin Feng, greatly improved but a useless spirit remains a useless spirit. Lin Feng will never be able to reach the same level as someone like Lin Qian." thought Lin Rui.
"Little Feng, we're leaving." whispered Lin Hai to Lin Feng in a soft and fragile voice.
Lin Feng nodded. He was still unable to speak. In his heart he could feel nothing but hatred and regret. He looked like a ghost, he had lost so much blood that it was shocking that he was still alive.
Lin Feng was able to stand but he needed Lin Hai's support to walk. Lin Feng didn't even look back at the clan because their faces were already engraved deep into his heart.
All the members of the Lin Clan looked at him and his father leave. Many members of the clan were confused in their hearts about what had just happened.
Lin Feng was known as a piece of trash by everyone. Yet he had such a powerful force fused with his attacks, such a terrifying Qi, such skillful sword play, he had defeated a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer and he even made Lin Wu crawl on the ground like a worm… could a piece of trash accomplish such things?
Lin Hai had killed the Lin Zhen in one strike and had threatened everyone present saying that he would kill them if they tried to get in his way, if the Honorable Elder hadn't appeared, who could have stopped him?
Unfortunately, Lin Ba Dao had his talented daughter, Lin Qian. Otherwise, Lin Hai would have stayed the Head of the Lin Clan. Regarding Lin Feng and Lin Hai, the opinion of the Lin Clan's members had changed, they deserved respect and could be proud of their actions.
"What a pity, if we had only worked together then we could rejuvenate the clan and would have no more worries." thought the Sixth Elder while looking at the two silhouettes on the horizon. He then sighed in regret as he wasn't strong enough to change anything that had happened. He could only remain silent and accept the situation as it was.
Lin Hai was meditating in his room. A white and foggy Qi was surrounding his body and started to penetrate into him, it was healing all of his wounds and removing the ice Qi which had penetrated into his body. Not long after, he opened his eyes and a dazzling light was surrounding his body.
"Father, how are you feeling?" asked Lin Feng who was next to him.
"The injuries are almost completely healed. Little Feng, these pills are amazing. Where did you get them?" asked Lin Hai while grabbing the medicine bottle containing the profound healing pills. Immediately after taking a pill, his injuries suddenly looked much better. He had rapidly recovered from his wounds.
"It seems that if I have the opportunity, I'll have to thank Protector Kong." Lin Feng had a big smile on his face. He wouldn't have thought that these pills would have such a powerful effect on his father. On that day when Han Man was injured, Lin Feng had already thought that these pills were mysterious, almost mystical. The Honorable Elder's attack on Lin Hai would have turned Han Man into meat paste. Lin Hai's injury was much more serious than that of Han Man. Only because Lin Hai was much stronger than Han Man, had he survived such an attack.
However, as before, the profound healing pill was able to make Lin Hai recover in no time. This showed how powerful these pills were.
"Father, one of the protectors within the Yun Hai Sect gave them to me." replied Lin Feng.
"Oh." Lin Hai nodded. "Little Feng, you should go back to the Yun Hai Sect. In a short time, you will probably surpass Lin Qian by leaps and bounds."
"Surpass Lin Qian?" Lin Feng smiled in his heart. He had not even put Lin Qian's level in his eyes. The path of cultivation was vast, how could he pursue such an insignificant thing as trying to surpass Lin Qian?
"Father, what about you? Where will you go?" Lin Feng held back his words on his current goal being much greater. He would rather find out if his father had planned to stay with him.
"I'm getting ready to go to the Imperial City."
"The Imperial City?!" Lin Feng was stupefied. The Imperial City is without doubts the biggest, busiest, the most powerful and prosperous city in the Xue Yue Country. In the Imperial City, a small Clan like the Lin Clan could easily disappear without a trace… the Imperial Clan was unsurpassed and extremely powerful.
Actually, it was also possible to regard the Imperial Clan as a sect, as the strongest Sect of the entire Xue Yue Country.
"Don't worry Little Feng. Even though the Imperial City is full of extraordinary Cultivators, I am not going there to cause trouble or kill people. I'm just going there because I feel like visiting. There will not be any problems if I go there. Practice more and once you are stronger, come to the Imperial City to see me." said Lin Hai who saw that Lin Feng was frowning and worry could be seen on his face. Lin Feng immediately looked more relaxed which made Lin Hai smile.
"Alright, let's leave." Lin Hai said while standing up. He just picked up a few paintings and scrolls then they left together. They eventually arrived outside the city and came to a halt.
They looked at the vast and boundless horizon stretching across the sky which seemed endless. Lin Hai spat towards the city, turned around and said to Lin Feng while smiling: "Little Feng, we are not taking the same road, you leave first, ok?"
"Father, I want to stay here until you are leaving. You can leave first." said Lin Feng while shaking his head.
Lin Hai looked at him a bit surprised, then smiled and said: "Alright, Little Feng, people are dangerous and many have evil intentions, be careful on your journey."
When he finished talking, Lin Hai jumped on a horse and quickly disappeared into the distance. His silhouette gradually disappeared. Lin Hai had seen Lin Feng display his power during the annual meeting and was therefore feeling more relaxed. He had the feeling that Lin Feng did not need his advice anymore, but he could not stop himself from worrying as his father.
Lin Feng watched while his father's silhouette disappeared into the horizon. He raised his head, gazed into the sky and then immediately rode Qian Li Xue back into Yangzhou City.
"How is it possible to leave things as they are? If I had defeated Lin Qian during the annual meeting, then they would never have treated my father in such a way. I will show the Lin Clan!"

Here is the second sponsored chapter. Special Thanks to Ruben M and Metazone! xoxo They have given you free drugs!!
I will release the third and final release for today in around 1 – 1 1/2 hour~ish from now. I have translated it but it is completely un-edited and needs to be rewritten in parts.
Enjoy xoxo
The rain was heavily flowing down. The sky was filled with rain clouds and the scent of rain filled the air.
Pedestrians on the streets were running from place to place to try and find shelter from the storm.
A young man with a stern look on his face was slowly riding a horse down the street, unbothered by the rain. He was wearing a black waterproof cape and was slowly heading towards the Whistle Wind Restaurant.
"Take good care of my horse." said the young man to one of the restaurant staff as he handed over the reins of his horse. He then calmly walked into the Whistle Wind Restaurant.
Because of the rain, the Whistle Wind Restaurant was bustling with people and the sounds of laughter could be heard all around. The ground floor of the restaurant was so full that it was hard to move within the crowd. The restaurant was filled with all sorts of people who had come to watch and participate in the annual meetings. The sounds of drunken conversations could be heard all around, the atmosphere was dense with the discussion of rumors and events.
"Have you heard what happened? Yesterday, Lin Hai and his son, that piece of trash called Lin Feng, were expelled from the Lin Clan. The Lin Clan had finally decided to remove the trash from their doorstep."
"Haha, I think the news is already widely spread in the entire city of Yangzhou. No need for you to tell me. Lin Ba Dao is extremely strong, news has already spread about how he defeated Lin Hai and chased him from the clan. However, not only is he very strong but his son and daughter are greatly talented, they have both already broken through to the Ling Qi layer"
" They can be proud of themselves to reach such a level at a young age. They are much stronger than that piece of trash will ever be. They say Lin Ba Dao defeated Lin Hai and kicked him from the clan after he ruthlessly attempted to interrupt the fight between Lin Feng and Lin Hong, Lin Feng would have been killed by Lin Hong if the fight continued. How shameless can a clan head be, to attack those of the younger generation without warning!"
There were surprisingly a large amount of people commenting what had happened within the Lin Clan. Lin Feng had arrived on the first floor and was about to sit down when he heard the comments from the people discussing. He stood up and started heading back down to the ground floor of the restaurant.
"These lies which are spread about the Lin Clan… Obviously, we left because we couldn't stand it anymore… are Lin Ba Dao and his family really such geniuses?…" Lin Feng thought sarcastically. Lin Ba Dao's audacity seemed to have no end, he had even said that he personally defeated Lin Hai. Lin Feng was keeping calm in the face of the unexpected rumors.
"Dear guest, how may I help you?" asked a server while greeting Lin Feng.
"I would like a bottle of wine and some pickles." Lin Feng said. In a flash, what he ordered was already on the table, the restaurant was very used to the busy atmosphere at this time of year.
"I heard that the Whistle Wind Restaurant is the place to come to hear the latest news. I wonder if someone could tell me about the annual meeting for Yangzhou City." thought Lin Feng while pouring some wine into his glass. He raised his glass and toasted that his father was finally free from the Lin Clan, he savored every drop. The alcohol gave him a warm sensation in his stomach, the wine tonight was quite strong. It was completely different from the alcohol Lin Feng had drunk before. He was used to receiving the finer wines on the top floor of the restaurant.
At that moment, three people walked into the Whistle Wind Restaurant. There were two females and one male. Everybody in the restaurant had their eyes on the three people who had entered. The young man didn't need to speak, he just continued to fan himself with his feathered fan. They had just emerged from an extremely elegant carriage and all had a feather fan in hand. They all looked extremely confident and self assured. The two girls were both wearing green robes, one light green while the other had a tinge of blue within. Not only did they have a commanding presence but they were also extremely beautiful. The face looked delicate and their bodies were also extremely alluring.
The crowd was paying attention to one of the girls in particular.
Even though it was raining, that girl didn't have a single drop of water on her body. She was wearing a set of green robes with a hint of blue. She looked as serene and as a calm as the ocean, It looked like the color of her robes complimented each of her physical features. Every part of her body was fascinating to the eye. Her eyes were clear as water. She was extremely attractive, seduction seemed to be something engraved in her soul. The beautiful girl wearing light green robes standing next to her had lost all her splendor by standing next to such a beautiful girl.
"Na Lan Hai, you go upstairs first, I'm staying here for a moment." said the other young girl. Her voice was pleasant to the ear.
"Alright." replied Na Lan Hai still holding her feather fan. Immediately after, she went to the first floor. Then, the young girl wearing the light green robes glanced at the room looking for a good place to sit.
"Miss, it looks like there are no seats." The young girl wearing light green robes looked around the room but didn't find a place to sit, the restaurant was crowded more than usual.
"Miss, wait for a moment please." the young girl wearing light green robes had noticed there was a young man sitting alone at his table. She started to move towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng raised his head, looked at the young girl wearing light green robes and asked: "Is there something I can help with?"
"Indeed." said the young girl while throwing one silver coin on Lin Feng's table and then said: "I'm giving you this silver coin in exchange for your table."
Lin Feng was stupefied and then slightly smiled. He also took out a silver coin and put it on the table as well.
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked the young girl while frowning.
Lin Feng raised his head and gazed directly into the young girls eyes and said: "I think you look unpleasant. Therefore, I am giving you this silver coin to go and find another table far out of my sight."
"You Dare…" said the young girl while looking confused and angry. Right after, she said in a cold and detached tone: "How dare you, do you even know who I am?"
Lin Feng remained silent and shook his head. He continued to pour wine in his glass and drank it.
"I don't give a damn who you are. Now run along" said Lin Feng unexpectedly in a very cold tone.
When the young girl heard Lin Fengwith his impolite speech and cold tone, she could not help but be angry, she suddenly released a strong Qi from her body. Lin Feng had a stunned expression on his face. The young girl was younger than him and she had already broken through to the eighth Qi layer. No wonder that she had such an arrogant attitude.
"What? Are you scared now?" asked the young girl who had noticed Lin Feng's expression. She had a smile of victory on her face, like a child who had just won an arguement.
Lin Feng was stupefied again at her reaction but remained silent. "Lu Er, please don't cause trouble." said a soft and gentle voice. It was the beautiful and fascinating girl wearing the green robes with a hint of blue. She was gazing at the young girl in light green robes with disapproving eyes.
"Lu Er is always like this. Please don't blame her." said the beautiful girl to Lin Feng while smiling. Her words were like a pleasant spring breeze. Right after, she moved towards Lin Feng's table and sat down with him, she looked very at ease.
Lin Feng frowned. He hadn't heard any of them apologize for their actions, almost as if they did not have to explain themselves to him. Besides, the girl in the green and blue hadn't even asked Lin Feng if he agreed before she sat down.
"Do I look like one of your servants? In this world there are masters and there are servants. Today, I am the master of this table and I did not give a servant like you permission to sit." said Lin Feng in a sarcastic tone.
The beautiful girl was speechless, then she groaned in displeasure. Everywhere where she went, everybody obeyed and respected her. If she sat at the same table as someone else, that person should feel extremely honored. Most men had no chance to even meet her eyes let alone be seated at the same table as her. On that day, she hadn't thought she would come across someone like Lin Feng who would ridicule her.
"Miss, we should teach this ignorant person a lesson." said the young girl wearing light green robes, she had become even more angry at Lin Feng's words.
"Forget it, Lu Er." said the beautiful girl while shaking her head. Then, she stood up and said: "Since he doesn't welcome us, let's just find another table.""It's just that some people lack tact. Next time, we should pay more attention and avoid these people."
While saying that, the beautiful girl had turned around and left.
"Miss Na Lan, that guy is unable to recognize you and how great you are. Your family is one of great power. Don't lower yourself to his level. I have a lot of respect for you. If you wish, you can sit here." said people in the crowd while inviting the girl to sit with them.
The beautiful young girl, didn't refuse this time, she nodded and accepted which made the person inviting her overjoyed at his luck.
"That guy is so lucky, why didn't I invite her first..?" groaned people in the crowd watching the scene. They infinitely regretted they hadn't made the first move.
"What kind of guy is that? He really must not have eyes. Miss Na Lan wants to sit with him which is something that happens once in a lifetime… and he refuses. That was maybe the luckiest event of his life. He is a complete idiot."
Lin Feng could hear all sorts of comments all around him. Lin Feng shook his head. Servility, arrogance, power and all the things related… People clung to rich and power people. Lin Feng only believed in mutual respect. If someone respected Lin Feng, then he'd respect them. The girl in green and blue robes and the girl in the light green robes hadn't respected Lin Feng from the beginning to the end, should he have acted in a servile way even though they hadn't showed him any respect? He would never lower himself to living on his knees.
Lin Feng had heard from the surrounding conversations the status that the girl wearing green and blue robes held. She was the only daughter of the head of the City. The beautiful and talented Na Lan Feng.
"Contrary to what one might expect, Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian actually are pretty similar. They consider everything and everyone as worms beneath them. They ignore everyone and just care about themselves. They are both very selfish individuals." Lin Feng thought while shaking his head. Concerning Na Lan Feng, there were many rumors about her in which she sounded to be wonderful and perfect but in reality she was the opposite.
"Miss Na Lan Feng, now that you arrived, why not come upstairs for a chat? We might even invite you to join us." said a cold voice coming from the higher levels of the restaurant. The entire crowd was stunned. Who was audacious enough to talk to her like that? Who dared to be so rude?
"Haha, I made the young miss of the Lin Clan wait for a long time, well then, Na Lan will come and join you." said Na Lan Feng while laughing. She immediately went upstairs.
" young miss of the Lin Clan?"
"That was Lin Qian of the Lin Clan. No wonder she dared talk to Na Lan Feng that way."
"I heard that Lin Qian has completely transformed. There is no comparison possible between past and present. She has an amazing talent and she has an excellent reputation within the Hao Yue Sect."
"That's right, it must be Lin Qian. I would have never thought that the city of Yangzhou could have two amazingly beautiful young girls with such talent."
The voice heard a moment ago was indeed Lin Qian's voice. She had the same arrogant voice as before. Lin Feng had immediately recognized it.
Lin Feng learnt many things while listening to what people were saying in the restaurant. He also heard news of what was happening in the city. On that day, one of the most amazing junior cultivators in the restaurant was Na Lan Feng but that wasn't all. Lin Qian had also come as well as other younger disciples of the Gu Clan, of the Wen Clan… They were all sitting upstairs, completely unaware that Lin Feng was sat beneath them.

This is the final sponsored chapter for today. This is the best I could do to not leave on a cliffhanger.
Special Thanks to Matazone and Anonymous for sponsoring this chapter. Much love xoxo
Enjoy. xo
Lin Feng stood up and moved towards a dining table surrounded by the group talking. Their expression immediately changed when they saw him approach. After all, Lin Feng hadn't behaved in a friendly manner towards the girls who tried to join him. He had offended Na Lan Feng who was idolized by everyone.
"Is there a problem?" asked one of the guests in an unfriendly tone way while staring daggers at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took out two silver coins and threw them on the table. He smiled and said: "May I take a seat with you?"
"You can. Of course, you can." The expression of the people on the table immediately changed. They had quickly become friendly and cheerful to have Lin Feng join them. In the Nine Clouds Continent the currencies consisted of precious stones alongside gold, silver and bronze coins. Extremely rich families had precious stones but they still needed silver and gold coins for daily expenses. Considering that a cultivator had lots of expenses, nobody would refuse silver or gold coins that were easily available. They quickly made room and prepared a chair for Lin Feng to sit and asked him: "Brother, what do you need help with?"
"Eh, it may sound a bit weird, Na Lan Feng and some other outstanding cultivators have gathered together, what are they doing exactly?" asked Lin Feng.
"Brother, this is something everybody knows. The senior cultivators of the City are preparing for the annual meeting in Yangzhou City. Na Lan Feng invited a few people to come so that she could pass on some information to the most outstanding young clan members and explain what her clan wishes to gain from the tournament. Of course, Na Lan Feng has other things in mind…"
That person stopped talking in order to keep Lin Feng in suspense: "As everybody knows, every year, the clan in control of Yangzhou City organizes a tournament to which a myriad of young cultivators participate and engage in battles. This year is no exception. Na Lan Feng is a representative figure in the clan of the city master. She invited all these outstanding disciples to explain them a few things but also… to get information on her enemies."Lin Feng laughed at the information. The Yangzhou City tournament was obviously no secret. He had come back to Yangzhou City precisely because the tournament was about to take place. This is why he hadn't returned to the Yun Hai Sect and decided to stay longer in Yangzhou City.
"I heard that the meeting was going to be different from the past ones. I heard that they were going to invite outstanding disciples from clans which are not established in Yangzhou City. I don't know if it's true or if it is just a rumor?" Lin Feng continued to ask.
"That's right. There is indeed such a thing. Qiu Lan is very famous in Yangzhou City. The master of the City wanted her to gather all these people for that reason. All of the outstanding disciples who want to join the Yangzhou City tournament will need to meet with Qiu Lan."
"I understand. Thank you so much for all of the information. It has helped me greatly." said Lin Feng politely. He had already learnt everything he wanted to know. Lin Feng hurried to finish his alcohol and his pickles. The atmosphere of the restaurant had become too noisy for him and was giving him a headache.
"Na Lan Feng, is that the boy over there, who surprisingly dared to talk to you in a disrespectful way, we should go and cripple him." said a voice in an evil tone which suddenly made everyone in the restaurant go silent. Right after that, everybody saw people standing on the stairs leading to the first floor. Two silhouettes were slowly moving down. It was the girl wearing light green robes who had just accompanied Na Lan Feng as well as Na Lan Hai who had just went upstairs.
"That young boy is out of luck." The crowd couldn't help but look at Lin Feng. They all felt sorry for the fate which was about to befall Lin Feng.
"That guy acted too recklessly. He caused unwanted trouble. I hope he can fix his mistakes. You must be careful who you offend as the world is vast and there are many hidden dragons that you cannot offend."
Everybody in the restaurant was whispering while looking at Lin Feng. These were going to be his last moments for having offended Na Lan Feng. Asking for forgiveness wouldn't give him any mercy.
However, Lin Feng hadn't noticed everybody's reaction. He had a headache and was too tired to think. He had drunk alcohol and couldn't see other people's faces clearly, he was actually quite drunk.
"Argh, he should die for his insults." Na Lan Hai was grinning and his expression looked ice cold. He was slowly walking towards Lin Feng.
"You have too much self confidence, daring to act so indifferently." said Na Lan Hai who had arrived next to Lin Feng while looking down at him. "You offended Na Lan Feng, the princess, prepare to bear the consequences."
"Why are you wasting time with words? Just cripple his cultivation, immediately." said the young girl in light green robes impatiently.
"Hehe, alright." replied Na Lan Hai moving his fan. That fan made him look smart and elegant but it was also as sharp as a blade.
Lin Feng finally sobered up slightly on seeing this. He evilly glanced at Na Lan Hai. His cold expression made Na Lan Hai shiver. It was Lin Feng, indeed, it was him.
The force abruptly vanished. Na Lan Hai hadn't expected that the one who had offended Na Lan Feng would be the person at the focus of all the rumors: Lin Feng.
Na Lan Hai obviously knew all these rumors were not true. Not so long before, he had witnessed Lin Feng's strength with his own eyes in the Whistle Wind Restaurant. Not only was he strong but he was also ruthless and showed no mercy to those who offended him, not caring about their background. Maybe strong and ruthless were not the right words, it was more like he was actually a monster in human form, he wasn't strong or ruthless, it was just his nature to overpower and kill weaker animals.
Na Lan Hai had also heard that Lin Feng's father had been expelled from the Lin Clan. However, he hadn't heard that it was because Lin Ba Dao was extremely strong but because it had required the Honorable Elder to stop him from exterminating the clan. He had also heard that Lin Feng made a shocking display of power and it had required an elder and two disciples of the Ling Qi Layer to stop him.
"Get lost." said Lin Feng in an ice cold tone which sent shivers down Na Lan Hai's spine. Lin Feng was exactly as he had imagined, he was terrifying. Lin Feng's words cut him like a knife and the thought of angering Lin Feng had made Na Lan Hai take a step back.
"Na Lan Hai, Are you not attacking yet?" said the young girl wearing light green robes seeing that Na Lan Hai hadn't crippled Lin Feng's cultivation yet and had instead stepped back. She couldn't help but be furious at the events. Not only did it seem that Na Lan Hai hadn't heard what she was saying but he had also turned around and said: "Let's leave, quickly!" While saying these words, he immediately started to leave.
"Is it Na Lan Feng who asked you to come?" asked Lin Feng in a cold and detached tone which made Na Lan Hai slow down in his retreat. He didn't reply. He continued to walk and pulled the young girl wearing light green robes as a sign that he wanted her to leave as well. Lin Feng smiled inside. It was very clear to Lin Feng at that moment what had happened. Those people who thought so highly of themselves, once finding out his identity, they didn't dare attack. Even if they still looked dominant, were they still talking with the same arrogant tone as before? Lin Feng hurried to drain his cup in one gulp and stood up. He then put on his black rain cape and a straw hat then immediately left. The entire crowd had only looked at his figure as he confidently walked out unharmed.
The crowd in the Whistle Wind Restaurant looked at that strange young man. They had so many questions they wanted to ask him.
"Who is that young man who made the arrogant Na Lan Hai retreat and look scared?" asked people in the crowd. They had thought Lin Feng would die. They hadn't expected that his opponent would cower upon the sight of him. Na Lan Hai's expression when looking at Lin Feng had obviously been one of complete terror. His actions showed that he did not dare provoke that young boy.
"Na Lan Hai, what was that?" asked the girl in light green robes while furiously shaking Na Lan Hai's hand off of her.
"That was Lin Feng." replied Na Lan Hai.
"The piece of trash of the Lin Clan?"
"Lu Er, what piece of trash of the Lin Clan? Do you believe all these lies? Do you really believe he was expelled from the Lin Clan for being weak? According to what we know from our clan reports, Lin Feng made Lin Wu crawl down on the ground like a worm. He had almost killed Lin Hong, who has broken through to the Ling Qi layer. Lin Qian interrupted the fight and with both their powers they could not stop Lin Feng's attack. If it wasn't for an Elder who interrupted the fight, Lin Hong would have already taken his last breath."
"What? Are you saying that he was able to defeat Lin Hong who has broken through to the Ling Qi layer? How is that even possible? You must be mistaken" said the young girl.
"Everything I'm telling you is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, wait a moment, we can ask the young Miss." said Na Lan Hai with a wry smile on his face. Before seeing Lin Feng at the Whistle Wind restaurant the last time, he would have also thought that those were all fake rumors about Lin Feng, that he was only a piece of trash, the disgrace and shame of the Lin Clan. He would have thought the rumors were spread by the other clans to cause the Lin Clan to lose face. However, he had eventually found out that those rumors were voluntarily spread by some Lin Clan members who had witnessed the events. It was clear that Lin Ba Dao had spread counter rumors to achieve his own goals. Lin Hai had also been wrong about his son. He did not know that Lin Feng wasn't the same weak willed and cowardly person that he was before. Lin Feng walked out of the Whistle Wind Restaurant and jumped onto Qian Li Xue, He didn't travel very far from the restaurant. He went to an inn which was near the Whistle Wind Restaurant. He went to an inn because he couldn't go back to the Lin Clan and had nowhere else he could stay. There was no other place to stay in Yangzhou City other than an inn.
He immediately selected one of the best rooms: spacious and quiet. So that nobody would disturb him. He sat down and immediately started to meditate. He could feel a hunger within his body after suffering that near fatal wound. It was as if his body was yearning for more power and the strength to rule over all. He only needed more power and then no one could treat him the way they had treated him and his father. With their own strength, Lin Feng and Lin Hai would make their own reputation and crush those who had belittled them in the past.
One day, Lin Feng would make the Lin Clan members regret the treatment they had given him and his father at the annual meeting. Lin Feng would make the Lin Clan regret from the bottom of their hearts, he would make them wish they could change their actions. With his own strength he would have his revenge and that day, was not that far in the future.

Here is Wednesdays Regular Chapter – Seems I may have drifted into the land of nod. Turns out I am really tired hehe late nights translating for you guys!!
Enjoy xoxox
In the room, Lin Feng was sitting on his bed while meditating peacefully. Lin Feng had released his dark spirit and was focused on absorbing the Qi which he gathered around himself. His sense of hearing when in this state was far above ordinary cultivators. If he wanted to then he could even hear what was being said back in the restaurant. This was because of his concentration and his dark spirit which was amplifying all of his senses. The Qi of heaven and earth was uninterruptedly penetrating into Lin Feng's body. A faintly discernible white light had appeared. The Qi felt like a strong wind which could turn into a typhoon at any point. It was his Qi which was growing strong to the peak of the Ninth Qi Layer.
He was waiting to overcome the bottleneck and have a surge of power once again rush into him, and then Lin Feng could break through to the Ling Qi layer. He would be able to kill those who opposed him much easier than before, with his skills and technique, he could even kill a ninth Qi layer disciple without them even noticing anything. At that moment, some shadows outside were approaching the inn, it was clear that they were headed directly towards the inn. The group immediately entered into the inn unnoticed, using an incredible agility technique, which made them look like ghosts walking through the crowd. They were all carrying a bow which was made from ox horns. The strength of these bows was extraordinary. Cultivators of the Qi layer would gain a huge amount of power from using these ox horn bows.
"He's in room number 2. It's best not to disturb him. That would be too troublesome. Let's handle this as quietly as possible" Said one of the shadows who was standing outside of the group. The shadow was holding a feathered fan in their hand. They all quickly moved towards room number 2. No one within the inn had even noticed their presence.
A short instant after, about ten shadows had appeared in front of the door to room number 2. They were extremely agile and graceful, almost no sound could be heard from their movements. Almost nobody could hear them, the only person who was aware of them was Lin Feng who had noticed them before they had even arrived at the inn. The strength of the shadows varied from person to person and it was impossible to tell their strengths from a glance.
"shish shish shish." The shadows had grabbed their bows off of their backs, they then with as little sound s possible knocked an arrow into the bow and drew the bowstring back.
"FIRE!!"
"Pssshhh, Psssshhh, Pssshhh." The sounds of the arrows piercing through wood filled the air within the inn, causing many people to suddenly notice the sound. These arrows were so powerful that they broke the wooden door open completely and within the room a there was a 'thump' followed by a rolling noise.
"Let's go!" shouted one of them taking the lead to charge into the room and check the results of what had just happened.
When they entered the room however, there was not a soul in sight. The wooden bed of extremely high quality had been damaged by the arrows. In the bed was a human shaped figure which was made from various materials, but there was nobody there. Two of the shadows took the initiative to move farther into the room while remaining vigilant at all times. Suddenly, a whistling sound of a sword cutting through the air could be heard followed by a terrifying thunderous roar.All that could be seen within the darkness was a set of ruthless and bloodthirsty eyes staring towards the shadows. Cold silver light flashed through the air, it was a sword. Thunderous roars echoed within the air. Two horrifying screams could be heard from inside the room. The two shadows which had initially moved deeper into the room had come back into vision. This time they were corpses rolling along the ground, back towards the group.
At the moment when these people entered into the inn, Lin Feng already knew that they were here. He originally paid them little attention and could not care for what their business was. He was in a trance like state in the middle of his practice. When he heard them arrive in front of his room, he had quickly regained his senses and understood the situation. It seemed like they were coming to kill him. Lin Feng had been hiding inside the room, away from the door as to not be hit by arrows. He had been leaning against the wall. He had chosen the wall which was a dead angle, so there was no chance of using a bow to strike him there. It was also impossible for the others to see him from outside. That was also very convenient as he could ambush the enemy from within the darkness. When Lin Feng had seen the power and strength of the arrow which had penetrated into the room, Lin Feng had considered himself very lucky to have noticed them first. If Lin Feng hadn't hidden within that dead angle, he would have been immediately shot dead by the arrows.
But while considering his good luck, Lin Feng's heart was also filled with killing intent. His body was overflowing with a murderous aura which made him seem like an ancient mythical beast. That's why he had immediately killed two people, he could not suppress the urge to kill. It was almost as if there was a demon waiting in the shadows.
"Come, my sword has not tasted enough blood yet!" said a bloodthirsty voice from within the darkness.
Lin Feng gripped his sword tightly again and suddenly his figure had completely vanished. Two screams were heard from outside the room. Lin Feng had used his Moonlight Feather Agility to move outside and kill two of the assassins who felt safe outside. As the other assassins outside of the room looked at what had just happened with horrified expressions, Lin Feng used the opportunity to jump out of the window.
"Chase after him." Shouted one of the assassins taking the lead while clearly angry at the situation.
Like wild beasts they jumped out of the window, each having a bloodthirsty look on their face.It was a rainy night and it was unnaturally dark as the clouds blocked even the moonlight. If cultivators didn't have such amazing sight, they would hardly be able to see the road, especially when running at full speed. However, it didn't influence Lin Feng at all. Thanks to his dark spirit, he had amazing senses which were above others at his level. His five senses were extremely sharp and acute. He was able to see the road as clearly as he did during the day. The people following him were growing closer and closer with each second. The noise of their feet stamping on the wet ground had filled the air. The group was extremely large for just one person.
"Whoosh"
The arrow flew past Lin Feng with a buzzing sound. Not far from his ear, the air itself was torn apart by the force created from the arrow. "The one who just shot that arrow has reached the ninth Qi layer. His power is comparable to that of Liu Fei. They are all far from being weak." Lin Feng thought while a shiver ran down his spine. Liu Fei was at the ninth Qi layer and she was extremely strong. Besides, she also had an extremely strong arrow spirit. Mentioning how strong her arrows were was pointless, it was obvious to anyone who had experienced them. On top of that, those following Lin Feng had a power comparable to that of Liu Fei. They were powerful and very well trained.
Lin Feng would have never thought that some people would come to kill him in the middle of the night, why would they want to take his life?
"whoosh, whoosh"
Another two arrows flew past his head. He was less and less convinced that he would be able to keep avoiding the arrows if this continued. Not only were these people extremely strong but it also seemed that they had received intensive archery training. Their shooting accuracy was extremely high. If there was one flaw in his footwork, if he gave them one opportunity, a single arrow could kill Lin Feng.
"It won't work this way. If I continue like this, I'll end up exhausted without any strength left and they will be able to finish me easily." thought Lin Feng while avoiding another arrow. He was feeling hopeless. Actually, all these people seemed to be at the ninth Qi layer. Besides, they could use their bows to the point of perfection and they were working with each other in perfect harmony. It even seemed like they were moving in formation. Even if Lin Feng is better at using agility techniques than them, it seems impossible for him to break away from that group of assassins. Lin Feng's feet were splashing in the wet mud and his robes had become covered in a layer of mud. It was still raining heavily like before. Lin Feng's robes were completely soaked. Lin Feng dodged quickly to the side to avoid another arrow. He then suddenly stopped and then turned around in the blink of an eye. Revealing his messy appearance.
"Moonlight Feather Agility."
"Die."In a flash, not only did Lin Feng stop running away, but he also used his agility technique to go back in the direction of his pursuers. Lin Feng skillfully wielded his sword which flashed in the darkness, roaring thunder could be heard vibrating through the atmosphere and merging with the heavy rain in perfect harmony. Blood had started to flow onto the ground, the rainwater on the ground was turning red with blood. The shadows that were running towards Lin Feng had been sliced through without consideration. Five of the assassins had been beheaded by Lin Feng in one smooth strike. The remaining assassins quickly retreated 10 meters. Their careful eyes were staring at Lin Feng. They were still very vigilant. They were all young and since the beginning of the battle, Lin Feng had already killed a large number of them.
Lin Feng watched the group's movements through the raindrops. One of those people was wearing a black rain cape and was holding a folding fan in his hand. "Na… Lan… Hai…" Lin Feng looked at him with and ice cold glare. That folding fan, that was a fan he remembered, Na Lan Hai's fan.
He glanced at all of them, smiled coldly and said: "So many outstanding practitioners, only a few clans have such outstanding people in Yangzhou City but considering how many have come for me, is there really anyone outstanding within such a clan?"
Na Lan Hai, was calmly standing in the middle of the group when he heard these words, he couldn't help but roar furiously:
"They all say that Lin Hai's son of the Lin Clan is a piece of trash. The Lin Feng that I know is not a piece of trash, he is a real genius, able to adapt to all sorts of situations, he is also very smart and resourceful… Too bad that…"
"Too bad that…. What?" Said Lin Feng
"Too bad that you are a true genius, but nobody will ever know." Na Lan Hai said with an evil grin: "Even if you're a genius, it will be of no use once you're dead. With your death the smudge on Na Lan Feng's reputation will be gone."
"So Na Lan Feng hates me because of a minor incident, because I pointed out her mistakes? So she has sent the mighty troops of Yangzhou City to chase and kill me in secret?" Lin Feng's tone of voice was clearly mocking them. These people were all well trained. They were not ordinary cultivators. When Lin Feng looked at them carefully again, he clearly understood that they were the troops of Yangzhou City.
There was one thing that Lin Feng didn't understand though. Na Lan Feng had been the first one to disrespect and disregard Lin Feng, that is why he had made her lose face. However was that insult worth her mobilizing the city troops to kill him? It seemed like Lin Feng hadn't anticipated that Na Lan Feng would use her status and power to have him disposed of in secret.
"Do you know how honorable and respectable Princess Na Lan is? She holds an extremely high status. Do you think that you have the right to humiliate her? Even if you die, it will not be enough of a punishment for having disrespected Princess Na Lan." Na Lan Hai said in a loud voice with an indifferent tone, as if everything he had said was perfectly logical.
"Princess Na Lan? Honorable and respectable?" Lin Feng grinned. Even if she was the Yangzhou City head's daughter, it also didn't give her the right to be that arrogant and conceited. Lin Feng wouldn't have thought that Na Lan Feng would stoop so low as to use her father's power to settle a small and petty grudge. She saw Lin Feng as nothing but an ant, her personality was just as rotten as Lin Qian.
"You want to kill me? Shall we get started …" Lin Feng's dark spirit appeared behind his back. In the middle of that spirit, the spirit had no Qi and made no sound, many had not even noticed that he had released his spirit. Lin Feng had to pay attention to each and every attack as each one would be lethal, a small mistake would cost him his life. Lin Feng's dark spirit seemed to look around as if it had its own set of eyes. Lin Feng could sense everything that was surrounding him, including the ground beneath his feet. Nothing could escape from Lin Feng's senses at that moment, he could sense even the slightest of movements within the air.
"Whoosh"
An arrow flew past Lin Feng's ear, so close it had almost hit. Lin Feng wasn't really surprised and had dodged it with ease which made the one who shot the arrow look slightly shocked. In the darkness of the night, his eyes were calm and murderous, he looked like a fierce beast gazing at its prey.

Chapter 42: Darkness of the Night
Lin Feng had released his dark spirit and he was not aware of how sinister he looked at that moment. He was calm and calculating, staring with eyes filled with no emotion. The practitioner who fired the arrow was stunned at such a terrifying gaze. Lin Feng seemed calm and at the same time murderous, under such a situation how was it possible to be so calm?
Lin Feng took a step forward and used Moonlight Feather Agility. Lin Feng was instantly in front of a group of people, making them unable to use their bows at such a close distance.
The long sword as it sliced through the air made a terrible wailing noise. Lin Feng was thrusting his sword towards them and each strike was more precise than the last. With every movement he was dodging an attack and blocking another with his sword. Everyone was furious. He was not only dodging their attack calmly, but he had also killed so many of them already… now they could not use their bows, they were slowly being pushed back.
"Release your spirits and kill him." shouted Na Lan Hai furiously but he could not help but subconsciously retreat. As Lin Feng had arrived right in front of them, he was the most terrified of all, when he looked into Lin Feng's eyes he could see overwhelming murderous intent, but even more terrifying was how calm and composed he was. Na Lan Hai's heart was pounding, his entire body was shaking with fear. When everyone heard Na Lan Hai, they all moved forwards and released their spirits. The night was exceptionally dark tonight but releasing that many spirits immediately lit the area with prismatic light.
An assassin with a vine spirit had managed to sneak behind Lin Feng. That spirit gave its cultivator a body that was flexible and strong. When the strength of its cultivator had become high enough, he could use his vine spirit to constrict enemies. The cultivators body would become like a vine, it would be almost boneless and was able to change forms.
He was surrounded by vines that were spreading and extending throughout the atmosphere. It didn't seem to follow a precise trajectory, but was wild and untamed. When the cultivator saw that his hand was almost upon Lin Feng, a hideous grin appeared on his face. Immediately after, when the assassin seemed to be so proud of himself, a silver light appeared in the air and pierced him in the eye and through the back of his skull. His body was supported by the sword which simply tilted downwards and the assassins head slid down the sword, until it was completely removed.
The sword strike was so precise, so quick and so flawless that it was scary. There was not a single ounce of wasted energy or unnecessary movement. He had killed that cultivator in a single strike, in such a terrifying way. The scariest part was that Lin Feng still remained calm as he watched the impaled head slide off his sword.
Lin Feng didn't stop and instead used this to his advantage to attack. Lin Feng's sword was streaking across the night sky like a meteor. Another stream of blood splashed in the air, another person fell down dead. As the moonlight pierced the clouds and the dark night was illuminated, it seemed like a world of blood.
These cultivators were all at the eighth and ninth Qi layers. Each time Lin Feng attacked, it was almost impossible for them to dodge a single strike ad Lin Feng's speed and accuracy were beyond perfect. They could do nothing to resist such a monster.
"WHOOOM." a heavy meteor like object was crashing through the air towards Lin Feng's head. If he allowed himself to be hit, he might not die, but he would be unable to win this fight and would be killed because of that. His life was balancing on a thin line.
"You think I will let you dodge?"At the moment when Lin Feng was attempting to dodge, a spear was piercing through the air and blocking his escape, the spear was amazingly powerful. He was being attacked from the front and the rear simultaneously. This was a strategy developed through battle and targeting Lin Feng's certain death.
"Die."
Lin Feng shouted loudly, then he threw his long sword with incredible speed, the sword pierced through the air and finally plummeted deep into the spear weilding opponent's chest. The assassin stood there with disbelieving eyes as he looked down to see the sword piercing through his chest. He felt like it must be a nightmare, this could not possibly be reality. He had never thought that Lin Feng would dare to dispose of weapon and use it to kill one of the attackers. Lin Feng was at the ninth Qi layer and was much stronger than each of them. However, he was clearly outnumbered by a great deal. Only one of them needed to reach Lin Feng and he would be severely injured. These injuries could even cost Lin Feng's life. Lin Feng should be vigilant and very defensive, however he had just risked his life on that last gamble. Lin Feng had thrown away his sword for the sake of killing another one of the group. It was terrifying to witness such disregard for his own life, with such a calm and calculating face.
The one with the sword deep in his chest was just staring at Lin Feng. These were his last moments and he wanted to watch how Lin Feng was going to die as the meteor crashed into his head.
"Swish"Silence filled the atmosphere. Lin Feng was holding a luminous sword. The meteor still hadn't reached its destination. Instead the cultivator with the meteor spirit, his head had been sent flying in the air, completely removed from his body. Lin Feng was using his soft sword and at this moment he was drenched in blood. "This is my fate." his opponent closed his eyes and his body collapsed onto the ground with a loud crash. The head of the one who had been beheaded a moment before fell down from the air onto the ground. Everyone looked on, frozen as if time had just stopped. They were asking themselves who could have survived that last sword strike.
Sword Unsheathing. At the moment when the sword was unsheathed, the opponents head was sent flying. How could Cultivators of the ninth Qi layer compete with a strength and power such as that produced by the Sword Unsheathing skill?
The opponents had forgotten to attack but Lin Feng didn't forget. Flashes of light one after the other appeared as Lin Feng slashed through the air. Each light was accompanied by a stream of blood. The current scenery was a landscape of blood. Each strike with his sword reached its target, not a single movement was wasted. Each strike was precise and deadly. At that moment, Lin Feng had forgot the meaning of mercy. Apart from being calm, as he bathed in this world of blood and took life after life, he could only feel indifferent. Na Lan Hai looked at each corpse as it fell to the ground, body after body was falling to the ground in a rain of blood. He was shaking and his mind had wanted to run but his legs were too weak. Each body represented a cultivator above the eight Qi Layer and there was now dozens of those bodies scattered on the ground. They represented the strong potential in Yangzhou City and particularly in the clan which controlled the city. At that moment, they were all lying dead on the ground and had fallen as easily as straw. They had all been killed one after the other by Lin Feng. All these people were supporters of Na Lan Hai and had contributed to his success. Lin Feng had killed so much talent belonging to his clan, it was a devastating blow.
What was it that made Lin Feng's sword so deadly? What was it in Lin Feng's eyes that scared Na Lan Hai so much? Was it because he looked so calm? It looked like Lin Feng was used to slaughtering people as if they were cattle. The whistling sound of his sword cutting through the air was getting more and more intense to the point that with each whistle it seemed like the rain had stopped making sounds. The entire atmosphere was filled with the sword Qi and there was no room for anything else. The extremely strong Qi was also getting more and more powerful with each strike.
"RUN!!" Na Lan Hai who was scared beyond belief had somehow come back into reality. Na Lan Hai had only one thought: get him and his clan as far away from that demon as possible. Without the least bit of hesitation, Na Lan Hai turned around and started running. "You want to leave now…? Don't you think it's a bit too late?" said a cold voice that seemed like the darkness itself speaking. The sound of the sword attacking suddenly stopped. Only the sound of Lin Feng's steps on the wet ground could still be heard.
"Splash"
"Splash"
"Splash"
Na Lan Hai stopped walking and turned around. He was staring face to face with Lin Feng. His face was twisted and ugly. He was trying to smile but tears rolled down his cheeks and whimpers escaped his mouth.
"Lin Feng, you know that this has nothing to do with me. It was the young Miss who ordered us to kill you. I only acted under orders as it is my duty, nothing more."
"I know." Said Lin Feng while nodding which made Na Lan Hai suddenly regain hope. "That is why I must put the dog out of its misery, otherwise it will continue to be forced to do these things by its master" Immediately after, Na Lan Hai saw a bright silver light flash through the air and it was the last thing he saw. His head had been cleanly removed from his body.
When Lin Feng saw Na Lan Hai collapse, he remained expressionless. He turned around and saw the piles of corpses. There were dozens upon dozens of corpses lying on the ground. The soil had been dyed red with the blood spilt. He did not have time to stop, instead he started walking into the distance.
"Na Lan Feng."
A low voice echoed through the darkness of the night and it seemed like the darkness was moving.
Lin Feng didn't know how long he had been walking. He arrived in a territory under nobody's control. He sat in meditation on the ground. His body was absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth and releasing it from his body at the same time. The Qi around Lin Feng's body turned into a glowing essence. That essence surrounded his body like an aura. His dark spirit was thrashing around. Lin Feng knew that he was about to break through to the Ling Qi layer. It was said that the spirit is a part of one's soul. The soul could provide many unique abilities. While sitting on the ground, Lin Feng's eyebrows strongly shook. At that moment, Lin Feng had a very strange feeling but he was unable to describe it. It was as if something was calling out to him. At that moment, Lin Feng felt a strong pain throughout his body. He knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived.
Only those with an extremely strong determination were able to make their spirit awaken. Everybody knew that on the continent, without an extremely strong willpower and determination, the spirit could not awaken. The pain became stronger and stronger. Lin Feng felt like his soul was being torn into pieces, slice by slice, piece by piece. Lin Feng was suffering so much that he bit his lips so hard that blood began to flow.
"So painful, how can it be so painful?" Lin Feng had underestimated the moment of the spirit awakening. He would have never thought that it would be so painful. He had nearly died in the past. The pain that he had endured before was nothing in comparison with that of the spirit awakening. This pain was inhumane. It gradually stopped raining but Lin Feng did not notice. Lin Feng was still soaked but he wasn't sure if it was because of the rain or because of the sweat. He only knew that his body was in agonizing pain.
"AHHHHH" shouted Lin Feng extremely loudly. The pain hadn't stopped. An even stronger pain invaded his body. The soul was being torn apart even more than before. It made him wish he could die and end his suffering.
"If I am unable to endure this pain, my spirit will never awaken. I will have to continue being bullied by others like when my father and I had to leave the Lin Clan. Lin Qian or the Na Lan clan will continue to make attempts on my life. These repeated humiliations were unbearable. One person can only take so much humiliation and regret." Lin Feng persevered and kept thinking about his Father and the humiliation he recieved. Nobody could stop him at that moment, nobody could prevent him from becoming stronger, not even the gods. The pain was unable to make Lin Feng lose hope and determination. It seemed like Lin Feng's willpower was actually willing the pain away. Lin Feng also became more relaxed in his heart. His spirit should be able to awaken without any problem.
"AAAA…..AAAAAAHHHHH!!" Lin Feng gave a shout with unprecedented brutality. Lin Feng was suddenly shaking from head to toe. A pain infinitely stronger than what he had previously gone through until that moment invaded his body. It made Lin Feng close his eyes and grit his teeth. The seven apertures of Lin Feng's head, eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth were all bleeding.
"FUCK!! NOO! I cannot go like this!!!" Lin Feng cursed. Immediately after, Lin Feng collapsed lifelessly on the floor.

Chapter 43: Spirit Awakening
Lin Feng had fallen into a dream like state. In this dream state his soul had drifted from his body. His soul was floating through the endless darkness, it seemed like a world made only of darkness.
In this dark world, there was no sign of life. Lin Feng didn't know how long his soul had been trapped inside the darkness. There was only a single light within the darkness, it was a small radiant light which had fascinated him.
"What an amazing light!"The more Lin Feng approached that light, the brighter and the more gorgeous it became. He found out that the light was stretching through the infinite darkness and it was impossible to reach. The light had formed a spiral above his head and became a very familiar shape, it shaped itself as a book. It seemed like the Qi of the entire universe was within this book and had been there since the creation of the universe. This book had seemed to contain all of the information of the entire universe since the beginning of time itself.Lin Feng stared at the book as if it was a precious gift which had been given to him by the universe, his eyes were radiating a fascinated light. When Lin Feng opened the book and looked inside, he found endless words streaming through the pages. The stream of words began to flow off the page and into Lin Feng's body, it seemed like all of the information recorded within the book was being absorbed into Lin Feng's body.
"BOOM!"
A sound rang through the air, it had sounded like Lin Feng's body had exploded from the amount of information being absorbed through his skin. Lin Feng couldn't help but powerlessly sit down on the ground. He had returned from the world of darkness and was sat down on the floor. The night was still dark and the rain was heavily pouring from the sky, it had seemed like almost no time had passed while he was inside that darkness. How could he find that magnificent book which contained such information? How could he return the sacred and magnificent light within the darkness?
"Phewww… Phewww…" Lin Feng was breathing heavily. His body was shaking from the pain, his body had long passed the limit for how much pain he could endure. However he was still alive and thanks to that pain, he had seen a world of darkness which seemed to contain the secrets of the universe.
When Lin Feng had been suffering from torture a moment before, he had really thought he was going to die from the pain of having his soul shredded. The pain was beyond any he had ever felt in this world, how could a human being endure such a pain? The pain had been so severe that he had actually collapsed and almost died.
"Do other people have to go through such a pain and agony when they try to awaken their spirit?" Lin Feng was looking at the deep into the darkness of the night. He did not understand how so many people had awakened their spirit through so much pain, he had actually believed for a moment that he had died. Even though Lin Feng didn't think that he was gifted or talented, he did have some confidence in his own will power. He could not help but think how people with less will power than himself could even endure half the pain which had struck his body. When his spirit was attempting to awaken, he was filled with three phases of endless pain which invaded his body and shredded his soul. Each time he was stuck by the pain, it was more intense and terrifying than before. During the final phase, the pain was so terrifying that his body had actually collapsed, while his mind could endure, his body had collapsed from the pain. Thanks to his determination and infinite willpower, he had been able to endure the pain for much longer than his body should have been able. That is why he hadn't immediately collapsed and instead he had started to bleed from his ears, eyes, nose and mouth.
"Maybe, the moment when the spirit awakens is a different experience for every person. Maybe it was only like this for me because of my spirit." While saying his thoughts out loud, Lin Feng's heart started pounding and he released his spirit. Lin Feng suddenly had an indescribable sensation. His surroundings seemed to have completely changed. Lin Feng wasn't in the same place any longer, instead he had returned to the world of darkness. This time however he could feel his surroundings and was much more aware of everything around him. He had the faint sense that he could see and hear everything around him, even though it was all in darkness. He could sense the grass as it swayed from the wind that was blowing. He could sense every raindrop as it fell heavily onto the ground. He had become extremely calm and he began to sense everything around him. He continued to move around and sense the changes. He did not know how much he had changed or how powerful his senses were at this point, but it seemed that at this moment he had become omniscient. He could sense everything in the world around his, it was all part of him.
What was evening more shocking to Lin Feng was that he was able to see everything, however the eyes he was using did not look like his own eyes. They were terrifying eyes which did not look human. He could not help but tremble when looking into the eyes, what a scary feeling they gave. "Dark… spirit."Lin Feng realized his brain was much faster than before and he could comprehend things more clearly than before. The power of his spirit was almost scary to him. It seemed like his power was as infinite as the darkness around him. His heart started pounding again. A colossal shadow had emerged from his back. The shadow itself was shaped as a spiral. On the top of the shadow, there was a magnificent and sacred looking book in suspension. The book began to open.
"Is this a spirit?" Lin Feng had a questioning look in his eyes. It seemed like that shadow was able to influence Lin Feng's spirit which he had released into the darkness. Everything seemed to be so clear. The scene looked just like in his dream: an endless darkness, and within that darkness was a bright light. The book had appeared and was floating quietly above his head. In Lin Feng's memories, a spirit which could be released twice didn't exist. It was as if that spirit had two layers which could be released. The first layer was a shadow which merged with the world itself and created the world of darkness. The second layer was a celestial book. Lin Feng had thought that his spirit had initially failed to fully awaken. But not only did it seem that it hadn't failed, but that it also had gone beyond common knowledge.
"Celestial book… A book spirit…" Lin Feng didn't know what kind of spirit he had at that moment. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there was an infinite amount of skills and spirits. The awakening of a spirit also constituted a considerable change. There weren't many people who could fully understand the mysteries of spirits. They only knew that there were a lot of different spirits which would all be different once awakened, depending on the person who had awakened the spirit.The book spirit was a mysterious and mystical one, Lin Feng was in awe. Its strength didn't reside in releasing attacks or protecting him during a fight. It was inefficient in both offence and defense but those who possessed a book spirit could write down unusual things within the book. These unusual and extraordinary things could greatly influence the cultivation speed of those who possessed such a spirit.
"Oh my god…" Lin Feng sighed. Suddenly, within the dark pupils shone two radiant silver lights, it looked like the sun was shining within these dark eyes. It happened for short moment and then the silver lights disappeared. Lin Feng was thinking deeply. These small lights meant that the first page of the book had been opened. It seemed like he had been granted magical powers by the universe.
"I will call you my celestial spirit." Lin Feng whispered. His spirit gradually dissipated and Lin Feng's eyes became normal again. His eyes returned to normal and the terrifying darkness had left. He could see clearly and normally. He only had a strange sensation remaining on his back. He turned his head, a white colored Qi was still flowing from his body endlessly. Lin Feng could use the Qi heaven and earth as he wished, he could create a shocking power with this Qi. Lin Feng had broken through to the Ling Qi layer. After the awakening of his dark spirit which was the first layer, he was able to release the second layer of his celestial spirit. Even though his small snake spirit hadn't been able to awaken, Lin Feng was still extremely satisfied.
Releasing the first layer of his celestial spirit would be enough to greatly increase his strength. The second layer, his book spirit, would provide him with support which would benefit him on his path of cultivation and it did not require being released for him to gain the benefits.
"First Ling Qi layer… From now on, I am unstoppable." thought Lin Feng confidently while smiling. He could feel how terrifying the changes were within his dark spirit. The first layer of his celestial spirit was his dark spirit, but its power was terrifying. From that moment, if Lin Feng met Lin Qian, he would have no problem defeating her. Even if Lin Qian was extremely arrogant, she still had an ice and fire universal spirit, but it was nothing when compared with his dark spirit. It was still raining but the sun had started to rise on the horizon. Some rays of sunlight had started passing through the atmosphere. Lin Feng stood up and looked at his clothes which were soaked from the rain. He couldn't help but smile. Sitting outside all night had been an insane experience. Lin Feng raised his head and gazed into the distance and he thought about what had happened during the night when he had ruthlessly slaughtered dozens of cultivators back in the city. If he had been a little bit weaker, he would have died in a tragic death.
"Na Lan Clan of Yangzhou City, Na Lan Feng, you will sooner rather than later, regret what you did last night." Lin Feng stood up and started walking.

Enjoy xoxox
In Yangzhou City, on City Avenue there was a huge crowd gathered. The atmosphere was extremely lively and noisy.
"Six people, plus Qiu Lan… there is still one spot left. That's much too scary. Each and every one of them is extremely strong. I will definitely take the final spot" said a young man in the crowd confidently.
"In your dreams… They already chose the eighth one; it's Feng Qian. Feng Qian is at the ninth Qi layer. He's much stronger than anyone else within the clan. A moment ago, he didn't insist on participating but that's just that he didn't feel like it… He has now made his move because he was annoyed that he was not selected sooner. How could you possibly fight against Feng Qian?"Said the person standing beside him.
"Scary." Said the young man
When the young man heard the name "Feng Qian", his face changed in a flash. He felt extremely depressed. It seemed that this time, the Clan head wasn't going to choose him. The Na Lan Clan had always organized an annual tournament, however this year, apart from the four biggest clans, and external clans who were not located in Yangzhou City, outstanding disciples belonging to other small clans could also participate. However, these small clans were only allowed to send eight disciples to participate in the tournament. On the same basis, the clans within the city, the Na Lan Clan, the Gu Clan, the Lin Clan and the Wen Clan were also allowed a maximum of eight disciples. These disciples were supposed to represent the most outstanding disciples of Yangzhou City. This had made participating in the tournament a real honor and privilege which would allow outstanding disciples of all clans to show their abilities to a large number of people.
Unfortunately for some people, the Na Lan Clan as well as the other three big clans had already chosen their participants. Qiu Lan was chosen as one of the participants, because she was extremely strong. At that moment, there were already seven people which meant the clan had to choose one last disciple and this position in the tournament was most likely to be Feng Qian.
Feng Qian was wearing blue robes. He was slim and had an arrogant look on his face. At that moment, he had arms folded over his chest as he walked out of the crowd and said in a cold and detached way: "That last participant is me."
When people saw how arrogant he looked, they could not help but be filled with hatred and regret. Some of the younger generation wanted to duel with him and measure themselves against him but considering his strength, they had to be careful. It seemed like they were only going to be able to watch as members of the audience. Feng Qian looked at the several hundreds of people who were present with a look of disdain.
"So many pieces of trash. They are all cowards. No wonder they were not chosen and I'm the one who was chosen to participate." Said Feng Qian in a spiteful tone as he started to head towards the main hall. In the main hall, there were already seven people sitting in a calm state. These were precisely Qiu Lan as well as the six others who had been chosen to participate.
"That guy is really as arrogant as the rumors say."
"They say that he is extremely cruel to all of his opponents and will even use diabolic methods to win."
"Who would dare challenge him? The consequences of challenging him would only be disastrous."
"He would probably cripple their Cultivation."
Said the many people in the crowd. Even though many people hated Feng Qian, nobody dared open their mouth. Feng Qian was savage and cruel. Amongst people of the Qi layer, there were very few people who could defeat him which made him even more arrogant and prideful, he enjoyed bullying those weaker than him.
The people within the crowd had no choice but to look at him join the others in the main hall.
"Wait, wait, wait." said a loud voice. In the quiet crowd, that voice was particularly clear and loud. The crowd was surprised for a moment and then they could see a young man approaching from the distance. This young man was wearing white robes. Even though his robes didn't look expensive, he looked clean and pure from head to toe. He was carrying a long sword on his back. His body was looked sturdy but gentle. The crowd found him fascinating. He looked as limpid as water. He gave an aura of mystery to all those who laid eyes on him.
His clear eyes were filled with deep profound understanding. His appearance and age did not seem to match with his wisdom. When people in the crowd saw him, they were gasping with admiration and had a feeling of inferiority in his presence.
The young man who had appeared was actually Lin Feng after having had a shower and changed his clothes. After having asked around, he had quickly learnt that there was a selection for the upcoming tournament happening and he quickly hurried to the location.
Feng Qian looked at Lin Feng, his arms still folded over his chest. He looked at Lin Feng in a disdainful way while grinning and said.
"You are telling me to wait?"
"Indeed." Said Lin Feng looking like he didn't understand Feng Qian's expression. He indifferently nodded.
Feng Qian was still grinning and then looked at Lin Feng as if he had compassion for him, even though Lin Feng was a few years younger than him. He then smiled and said: "Do you know the consequences for making me wait?"
Lin Feng smiled wryly and was a bit surprised. On the path of cultivation, there were many people who were talented and thought they were geniuses. It seemed like those kinds of people liked to show off their powers against those weaker than themselves, as if they were playing a role which had to appear noble and strong. It had become clear to him that people in this world would continue to play these roles and act foolishly for the sake of appearances.
Lin Feng started walking towards Feng Qian with complete calmness on his face.
The crowd was wondering what was going on and started to watch Lin Feng. Was that guy insane? He was about sixteen years so he could have only reached the seventh or eighth Qi layer, yet he still thought he could compete with Feng Qian who belonged to one of the most powerful of the small clans in Yangzhou City and he was even considered a genius. That young guy wanted to challenge Feng Qian… but only the most talented, the most gifted and the most outstanding disciples of Yangzhou City could compete with him. How could this unknown young man possibly fit that criteria.
"It looks like you also want to enter into the main hall. I really don't know if I should admire you for your courage, but what you're doing is extremely foolish… however since you want to challenge me, I will cripple your cultivation for being foolish enough to think you are worthy to stand on the same level as me." said Feng Qian clearly directing his hatred towards Lin Feng.
"Shiiing!"
The metallic sound of a sword cutting through the air filled the atmosphere and a bright light filled the space in front of Feng Qian. Immediately after, Feng Qian fell down onto the ground and began to roll around while groaning. Blood was pouring out of his mouth. He was coughing heavily and more blood was filling his mouth. Feng Qian raised himself to the point he was kneeling on one knee. Blood was unceasingly spilling out of his mouth… drops of blood were endlessly falling onto the ground.
Lin Feng simply put his sword back into his sheathe with a 'Clink' sound.
The people within the crowd just stared at what had happened in shock. They were all trembling with excitement and fear. Lin Feng… had Lin Feng defeated Feng Qian in a single strike?
"How powerful!" said a man while shivers ran down his spine. Not only was he about sixteen years old but Feng Qian had been unable to carry out one single attack against him. Lin Feng had even shown mercy and had been gentle when using his sword, otherwise, Feng Qian would have immediately been killed.
"You really do talk crap, way too much crap. You should be more careful with your words" said Lin Feng in a cold tone while not even looking at Feng Qian who was behind him, kneeling on the floor. Then, Lin Feng continued walking towards the main hall. Feng Qian was looking at Lin Feng with disdain… and in the end Lin Feng didn't even give him another glance as he wasn't worth it. While looking at Lin Feng from behind, Feng Qian had a million thoughts at the same time.
" You really do talk crap, way too much crap. You should be more careful with your words." He continued to repeat the words that Lin Feng said to him.
The path of cultivation is full of surprises. The sky is vast and the ocean is deep, who knows exactly how vast and deep they are. The world could be flipped upside down in instances, some cultivators believed themselves lucky to be such strong geniuses only to find they are only small fish in a very large pond. To keep being lucky, to remain a strong genius, a cultivator would need to possess a strong willpower and determination towards training. A cultivator like Feng Qian of the ninth Qi layer was like a frog at the bottom of a well. He could not see how vast the world really was. Therefore, being arrogant and provoking wasn't a good behavior to adopt and Lin Feng's sword had taught him a long deserved lesson. Strength was everything in this world.
While struggling to get onto his feet, Feng Qian was looking at Lin Feng's back and was bowing. He wasn't holding awe and veneration for Lin Feng, it was rather that he felt thankful that Lin Feng had taught him that his arrogance could cost him his life and gave him a great lesson: the road of cultivation is not one in which you should provoke others. It was also not one in which you could allow yourself to be provoked without retaliation.
That event had made a lot of people feel puzzled but some people's expressions were resplendent as if they had understood what had just happened in front of them. However, Lin Feng hadn't noticed these expressions. He wasn't completely in the main hall yet when the seven others' expressions suddenly changed when they saw him approaching. Qiu Lan was particularly surprised. In the Whistle Wind Restaurant, she had seen him and obviously knew a lot about Lin Feng. She also knew everything about the problems Lin Feng had within the Lin Clan.
"I will be participating in the tournament this year." Lin Feng said sounding relaxed yet strict while looking at Qiu Lan. He was bold and straightforward, he insisted that he had to participate.
"How audacious!" said a disciple sitting next to Qiu Lan while slapping the table, which made the wooden table crack in a loud bang."Who do you think you are? Thinking that you can actually talk to Qiu Lan as you wish." said the angered disciple, he was called Wu Xiao. Everybody was fantasizing about the beautiful Qiu Lan. Besides, she was extremely powerful and was at the pinnacle beyond the ninth Qi layer. Feng Qian's power was nothing in comparison.
He had seen how Lin Feng had defeated Feng Qian in one hit and how easy it had seemed for Lin Feng. He had thus noticed how strong Lin Feng was. Therefore, at that moment, Wu Xiao's behavior was just an empty show of strength to gain Qiu Lan's attention and make her like him.
Lin Feng glanced at Wu Xiao and then walked towards him after which Wu Xiao immediately stood up and released a strong Qi, ready to engage in a battle.
The white and dazzling light of the sword flashed and stabbed Wu Xiao so quickly that he had had no time to react at all. He gave a horrible shriek not able to strike back.
Speed. After having broken through to the Ling Qi layer, Lin Feng's swordplay had become incredibly quick and agile, even more so than before. Lin Feng grabbed Wu Xiao's neck and carried him to the entrance of the main hall.
"Why would a piece of trash like you, want to participate in the tournament? How pointless."
While saying this in a loud voice, Lin Feng kicked Wu Xiao's body which flew out of the main hall and rolled down the steps onto the ground of the main square where the crowd was.

"Is that Wu Xiao?"
"It is, it is Wu Xiao."
Shouts of surprise filled the air around the crowd as they watched Wu Xiao fly out of the main hall and roll down the steps.
Wu Xiao was much stronger than Feng Qian. He was quite famous in Yangzhou City, but this genius had also been defeated by that unknown young man who had entered the main hall. Being injured and publicly humiliated was the price that he paid for angering Lin Feng. Lin Feng had shown him no mercy and insulted him as he kicked him from the main hall.
"Who is that young disciple?"
"How arrogant!"
"Which clan does he belong to?"
"I have never seen him before today, where did he come from?"
Everybody who was there wanted to know who that young man was. They did not believe that there was such a genius within Yangzhou City who had escaped their attention for so long, a disciple who was this strong would have come to the attention of the smaller clans by now. However they had absolutely no idea who this young man was, How was such a thing possible?
If everyone knew who that arrogant and domineering young man who had just entered the main hall was, they would be astonished to know that it was the piece of trash who had been expelled from the Lin Clan. According to the rumors he was expelled along with his father for being trash, his father had even attacked a junior clan member to protect Lin Feng. They would be shocked that the trash within these rumors was the powerful and domineering young man in front of their eyes. The other disciples, who were in the main hall all belonged to the smaller clans within Yangzhou City, they were all the talented and powerful members of the younger generations. The disciples who made up the eight participants were the strongest talents which the smaller clans could develop.
The day of the annual tournament had finally arrived and there was a huge commotion as the crowd watched members from the larger clans arrive in the arena. This would be a chance for them to see all of the talents which would shape the future of the city. They would not have this opportunity often.
"Look over there, seated on the southern part of the arena are the members of the Lin Clan. The one in the middle is Lin Ba Dao. It looks like the rumors are true, Lin Hai's Cultivation was crippled by Lin Ba Dao and then his son and him were expelled from the Lin Clan." Discussions could be heard while many people were looking at where the Lin Clan members were sitting. One could hear all sorts of comments from the crowd. There was a constant discussion and many people were paying attention to the Lin Clan because of the rumors which were circulating in Yangzhou City. It had caused a sensation throughout the city. At that moment, the rumors were confirmed.
"That's Lin Qian… how beautiful! But she's a bit scary, she has already broken through to the Ling Qi layer… and she's only sixteen years old. She's amazing. I wish she could on day become my wife."
""In your dreams… oh keep it down, if people from the Lin Clan hear you, they'll cripple your cultivation or even worse behead you."
"Hehe, I'm just saying. Look over there, the Na Lan Clan has also arrived, that's the head of the City and the princess Na Lan Feng."
The crowd continued to make comments as the people arrived in the arena. At that moment, the members of the Na Lan Clan had already arrived and had taken their respective seats in the arena, close to the stage.
Na Lan Xiong was famous, tall and sturdy, he looked extremely prestigious. Only by looking at him, it was easy to guess that he had an extraordinary power.
When Na La Xiong saw the expressions of the people in the crowd, he smiled and then immediately said: "Today, everybody was able to come to the tournament that I organized. I, Na Lan Xiong, am extremely happy. However, if anyone dares to make trouble, I, Na Lan Xiong, will not hesitate and will deal with you in a very rude manner."
Many people nodded. They were facing the Na Lan Clan… even if they wanted to cause trouble, they first needed the skills and abilities to do so.
"Alright, enough with my useless speech. I know that all of you haven't come to listen to an old man like me. Let's invite our outstanding young cultivators to come onto the battle stage, alright?" said Na Lan Xiong and then he sat down. Everybody nodded when he finished speaking. All the young and outstanding disciples were getting ready to make their appearance on the stage.

Special Thanks to Velkin for this sponsored chapter. This is the third release and my goal tonight is eight…
Wish me luck. I hope you all enjoy xoxox
The huge battle arena was composed of many fighting stages. On each of the fighting stages, eight silhouettes could be seen. The Na Lan Clan was set higher than the others and its participants were standing on the highest stage in the middle of all the others. They looked like warlords looking down with supremacy. The other participants surrounded them on their own fighting stage like the stars surrounded the moon in the night sky. There was also the major clans such as the Gu Clan, the Lin Clan, the Wen Clan. Qiu Lan had played a big role in the organization of the smaller clans. At that moment, along with the Na Lan Clan members, there was an old man sitting next to Na Lan Xiong who stood up. He was staring at the fighting stages.
"Today is our yearly tournament. The purpose of this tournament is to test the strength of the most outstanding young cultivators of Yangzhou City. Therefore, nobody should show mercy. Those who are defeated are allowed to surrender and in case someone gives up, the fight will immediately be terminated. If nobody surrenders the fight then the fight will continue unceasingly until someone collapses, or even dies."
When the old man finished talking and the crowd burst into uproar… the fights could go on until someone died if nobody gave up… how cruel!There were some extremely proud and arrogant cultivators who attached a lot of importance to their face and prestige. Losing a battle by giving up was especially humiliating for them. Therefore, very few people were going to willingly surrender a battle. Even if they knew that they had no chance of winning, they would continue to fight to protect their honor and dignity. But that sentence made the crowd think carefully. There were no restrictions and battles could be fought to the death. If there had been restrictions, two opponents of an equal strength who refused to give up, could be fighting endlessly which could end up in a deep and bitter hatred for the opponent.
"How wise, how brilliant!" said many people supporting the old man's words. The old man had obviously done this as a ploy to increase the hatred between the other clans, by forcing them to watch as their talented clan members would rather die than surrender. He had done this to stop the hatred between the younger generations, but increase the hatred of the older generations. That way, those who didn't agree wouldn't criticize the Na Lan Clan. After all, they were the clan who was hosting the tournament and had made a perfectly reasonable rule. However, it also meant that Na Lan Clan members could be killed within the arena. The crowd knew they were going to see some people die and that the different clans of Yangzhou City would once again sow the seeds of hatred for one another. Na Lan Xiong wanted to see the other clans hate each other. Even though the three other clans knew what Na Lan Xiong had in mind, they had no choice but to agree.
Since they didn't want to lose face and as they were considered as the best clans in the city, all they could do was tell their young disciples to strive for victory with all their strength. Besides, the old man had also said that those who wished could give up and the battle would immediately end. Therefore, that rule was double-edged and couldn't be really contradicted as the choice was given… But who would accept having their own clan regarded as inferior to the others?
"I finished writing down the names of all those who are participating in this year's tournament. I have also finished organizing the battles. I don't know if anyone has any objections to my work." Said the old man while looking at the members of the three other powerful clans.
"Hehe, everything was organized by the Na Lan Clan… I, of course, agree." Said the head of the Gu Clan even though it seemed like he didn't really care.
"The previous tournaments were organized by the Na Lan Clan and were managed by them as well, this time is obviously going to be the same."
"I have no objection either." said Lin Ba Dao who was obviously not going to oppose the Na Lan Clan.
"I represent the Na Lan Clan and I would like to thank all the clan heads for their cooperation." said the old man while looking at the members of the three other clans and then declared: "The rules are as such and are applied from the very first battle: being defeated leads to elimination, winning allows you to continue."
"And now, let me announce what the battles will be. All of those who hear their names can stay on stage, the others can come down and wait. On the Na Lan's stage, Na Lan Feng will fight against Wen Xin of the Wen Clan; on the Eastern Stage, Gu Yun of the Gu Clan will fight against Lin Wu of the Lin Clan; on the Southern Stage, Lin Yu of the Lin Clan will fight against Wen Feng of the Wen Clan; on the Western stage, Na Lan Zhu of the Na Lan Clan will fight against Feng Qian; on the Northern stage, Duo Ming will fight against Gu Qing Jr. of the Gu Clan."
There were five fighting stages, so there could be only ten people fighting at once. There were forty people in total. Four rounds were enough to eliminate half of them and so that only twenty people would be left. Those who hadn't been called stepped down from the stages while those who had been called were going onto their respective stages.
"Hahaha, Wen Xin is really unlucky, having to fight Na Lan Feng as a first battle."
Even though Wen Xin was not weak, she had no chance to win.
"I heard that Lin Wu of the Lin Clan has become quite strong. He has already reached the ninth Qi layer. It seems like he's definitely going to be the one to win the battle on Eastern Stage."
"On the southern stage, Wen Feng should win the battle. On the Northern Stage, Feng Qian should win. Concerning the last stage, even though Duo Ming is extremely mysterious and wearing a mask, Gu Qing Jr. is almost invincible so Duo Ming is pretty unlucky there."
The battles hadn't even started and everyone in the crowd was making predictions as if they were certain of the outcomes. After all, the crowd knew almost all these young disciples, who the majority had originated from Yangzhou City, and had a deep understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
But on the Northern Stage, Duo Ming also attracted the crowd's attention. He was wearing a mask, they had never heard of him and there was something fascinating which surrounded him like an aura. He carried an air of mystery. Too bad that he was going to fight Gu Qing Jr. He was already doomed and was going to lose immediately. Indeed, Gu Qing Jr. had already reached the peak of the Qi layer. There were not a lot of Cultivators of the Qi Layer who could fight against him and win. His only real opponents were mostly within the Ling Qi layer. Gu Qing Jr. was also quite famous in the region. Thus, it was impossible for Duo Ming to defeat Gu Qing Jr.
The predictions of the crowd were also quite accurate. Wen Xin didn't fight against Na Lan Feng and gave up. Even though face and prestige were extremely important, giving up when facing Na Lan Feng was nothing to be ashamed of. Fighting against Na Lan Feng definitely meant dying.
On the Eastern and Western stages, results were gradually coming out and the predictions of the crowd were correct each time. Lin Wu, Wen Feng and Feng Qian were about to defeat their opponents and move onto the next round of the tournament. Only the battle on the Northern Stage was still in progress and it had made everyone within the crowd grow speechless.
In Gu Qing Jr.'s eyes, Duo Ming didn't even exist, he regarded Duo Ming as an ant to crush beneath his boot on his path to cultivation. Gu Qing Jr. kept looking at the battles on the other stages rather than defeating his own opponent. After all, he would be able to move forward to the next round at any time he wanted, so he wanted to get familiar with the fighting styles of his following opponents.
"I will not fight against Na Lan Feng, so I hope I will not be matched with her in the upcoming battles. Lin Wu and Wen Feng will be very easy to defeat. As far as Feng Qian is concerned, it seems like his strength has greatly improved recently but I should be able to dispose of him really quickly as well. Victory will be a piece of cake if I have to fight these three…"
Gu Qing Jr. was lost in deep thought and continued to act as if the young man who was wearing the silver mask didn't exist at all while thinking about the next rounds.
Finally, Feng Qian had his hand on his opponent Na Lan Zhu's throat. Na Lan Zhu didn't want to keep fighting and surrendered the fight. Everybody's attention was on the Northern Stage.
"It finished. How quick!" said the crowd amazed. It seemed like the first round was about to come to an end.
"Gu Qing, stop wasting time." said the head of the Gu Clan sounding indifferent yet slightly arrogant as if Gu Qing could end the battle as soon as he wished.
"Alright, I will do as the clan head requests." replied Gu Qing Jr. Then, he looked at Lin Feng who was hiding his identity with a silver mask and said coldly:
"Get down from here yourself, you're not worth fighting." Lin Feng touched his silver mask, one could only see his eyes and a small part of his face but it was impossible to see his facial expression.
Lin Feng had also been ignoring Gu Qing Jr. he hadn't hurried to fight and had also been observing the other battles. He didn't have to worry now either. Gu Qing Jr. was extremely arrogant and rather than fighting had told him to get off the stage. Lin Feng was already used to those cultivators who thought that they were untouchable and did not give respect to others, but demanded respect in return, those so-called geniuses.
"Did you not hear what I just said? I'm telling you to get down from here… so get lost! If you are not smart enough to get down yourself, I will immediately kill you."Gu Qing Jr. saw that Lin Feng wasn't reacting at all and then frowned.
The talented individuals within the powerful clans despised cultivators who considered themselves as geniuses but didn't belong to a clan which held a status like the powerful clans. Without the strong support behind them, they would have to work extremely hard for minimal gains. How could a cultivator become a man of great talent if he didn't belong to a powerful clan? People like Dou Ming who didn't belong to a powerful clan would have no reputation and could be disposed of by his clan at any point. That is why Gu Qing Jr. despised such cultivators and regarded them as beneath his notice.
"I haven't changed my mind yet so seize that opportunity and get lost." said Lin Feng in a voice full of hatred. As he spat out those words filled with hatred, it had surprised everyone in the crowd. Right after, some people grinned, could it be that that guy was insane?
Qiu Lan wasn't laughing though. She thought that Lin Feng was very mysterious, almost mystical. He seemed extremely strong compared to others within the tournament. She had seen how Lin Feng had made Wu Xiao collapse with just a single strike.
"Gu Qing Jr., I hope you are prepared to die." shouted Feng Qian who was focusing on what was going on the Northern Stage. He had come to understand that Gu Qing Jr.'s behavior would just lead to his death. After receiving a lesson from Lin Feng, he has greatly matured and come to realize his own mistake. The less respect that was given to Lin Feng, the less mercy he would show.
Gu Qing Jr.'s face at that moment had changed and he no longer looked as if he was at ease. He couldn't believe what Lin Feng had just said to him. He couldn't believe that a young man, who didn't belong to a powerful clan such as his own, would dare to talk to him that way. He was the second ranked disciple of the Gu Clan amongst all the disciples of the Qi layer. He was regarded as an extremely strong and talented disciple by all the members of the Gu Clan.
"Finish him." Gu Qing Sr said in a loud yet calm voice which made everyone shiver. Lin Feng would lose, that was obvious but Gu Qing Sr meant that he wanted Gu Qing to kill Lin Feng where he stood.
"Alright." said Gu Qing Jr. who noticed that his father, who was also the clan head, had become extremely furious. He quickly started moving at an incredible speed. He wasn't going to give Lin Feng any chance to surrender.
"Poisonous Fist!" shouted Gu Qing Jr.
His fist was emitting a whistling sound as it started breaking through the air as if he was shattering the atmosphere into pieces.
But Lin Feng remained motionless like a mountain. At the moment when the poisonous fist was about to reach him, a bright light flashed in front of his body. The sword was too fast for anyone to see what had happened.
It seemed like time had stopped and everything remained motionless. No one in the crowd had seen what had happened or why Gu Qing Jr had stopped moving. Suddenly Gu Qing Jr's body fell heavily onto the ground as his head started to roll away from his body. The crowd stared on in complete silence.

This was a slightly harder chapter for me. Very long and needed a few rewrites. To all those coming from Reddit, share the love over there!!! I need the love from you guys to punish myself to this extent for you haha
Special Thanks again to Velkin for this chapter. xoxo
I hope you all enjoy!
The crowd was looking at Gu Qing Jr.'s dead body lying on the ground of the Northern Stage. He had been killed with a single strike which was so fast that many could only see Lin Feng sheathing his sword. Not only had the strong and powerful Gu Qing been killed in a single strike, but he had also been killed in the blink of an eye and had been given no chance to surrender.
"That sword… how fast! How skillful!" Said a man in the crowd, mouth wide open, almost drooling. They hadn't even been able to see what had happened as the movements were so fast. The crowd was unable to see what kind of sword skill had been used by this mysterious masked disciple. They only knew that it had happened with extreme speed and precision. The sword had disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
Only someone who had practiced his skills to perfection was able to carry out such precise attacks, his sword looked like an agile shadow that avoided the gazes of the crowd. The crowd was looking at Lin Feng and thinking about the flash they had just seen. He had obviously used a sword skill during that split second and with it unleashed devastating power. He had been able to kill Gu Qing Jr. with ease.
"Amazing!" Feng Qian was looking at Lin Feng speechless. He imagined what would have happened if he had been the one fighting against Lin Feng. He would not have noticed the sword before his head was already removed from his body. Even if what had happened the previous day had changed his views and had made him more determined and respectful, even with a few more years of cultivation, he wouldn't want to face the Lin Feng before him.
Gu Qing Sr. stood up while looking at the battle stage. His face grew red with fury and his face viciously twisted in anger. While looking at his son's headless corpse on the battle stage, he released an extremely strong Qi. Gu Qing Jr. was dead… One of the most outstanding junior disciples of the Gu Clan was dead. He hadn't been able to even react to his opponents sword. Gu Qing Sr. hated Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart.
"You dared kill him." said Gu Qing Sr. in a voice which sounded like a thunder which made everyone's heart beat faster.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Gu Qing Sr. who was in a towering rage. Lin Feng's pupils were pitch black and he then said: "Are you insinuating that I should have stood here and done nothing and just let him kill me? How stupid are you?"
When Gu Qing Sr. heard these words, he remained silent. He really wanted Gu Qing Jr. to kill Lin Feng, how could he not allow Lin Feng to kill Gu Qing Jr.? In life, there are such principles as defending one's own life. Because Gu Qing Jr. was a member of the Gu Clan, he thus wanted Gu Qing Jr. to kill Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng killing Gu Qing Jr, even if it was justified, was still a crime in his eyes.
"You're very good. You will not live much longer." said Gu Qing Sr. in an indifferent tone. He had made no attempts to conceal his killing intent. As the crowd heard these words, they felt compassion for Lin Feng. Even though he was extremely strong and had been able to kill one of the most outstanding disciples of the Gu Clan with one strike, there was no chance that the Gu Clan would let him leave alive.
"My name is Duo Ming." said Lin Feng while looking straight into Gu Qing Sr.'s eyes. He then went down off the stage and his voice echoed throughout the arena as he said: "If any of your Gu Clan cross paths with me, I will decorate this arena with their heads."
"Eeh…"
The crowd was stupefied by Lin Feng's words. It seemed like he had directly challenged the powerful Gu Clan and spat in their face. He sounded insane, too insane. He had also sounded insufferably arrogant. He was an ordinary young man and he surprisingly dared threaten the large and powerful Gu Clan, he said that he would kill any of them if they found themselves in his path. He was challenging the entire Gu Clan. He was defying all of its members.
Obviously, all of the young members of the Gu Clan who heard him burst into an uproar and cursed in rage. However, even though the words coming out of their mouths were fierce, many of them were extremely nervous. They thought that the best thing would be to never cross his path. He had killed Gu Qing Jr with a single effortless strike… In the Gu Clan, except for those of the Ling Qi layer, they feared that nobody would be able to fight against Lin Feng and return with their head. The best result would be to have Lin Feng fight the stronger members of the Gu Clan, like Gu Yan, that way, he would be able to avenge Gu Qing Jr.'s death.
They had no doubts when it came to Gu Yan's strength. He was a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng would never be able to compete with him even if he was extremely strong.
"If I come across him, his death will be tragic and brutal." said Gu Yan standing amongst the other members of the Gu Clan while looking at Lin Feng with ice cold murderous intentions in his eyes. He would kill him and torture him to regain the clans face.
The first round hadn't taken a lot of time and now it had come to an end. There were twenty people left within the tournament. There would be two more fights on each stage and ten people would be remaining.
In This round, Lin Feng wasn't going against a member of the Gu Clan. He was going to fight against an amazing and outstanding member of the Na Lan Clan: Na Lan Chen.
"If you can fight, then fight, if you don't feel like fighting, then just surrender." said Na Lan Feng to Na Lan Chen, as before she was setting herself high above the others in an arrogant way while looking at the Northern Stage.
"Alright." said Na Lan Chen while nodding but he was eager to test his strength. Even though he wasn't as famous and popular as Gu Qing Jr., he was also at the ninth Qi layer, he thought that Gu Qing Jr.'s reputation was undeserved. He thought that because Gu Qing Jr. had underestimated Lin Feng, he had caused his own death to be so swift. This time, Na Lan Chen was definitely going to defeat Lin Feng and make himself famous and gain the status and respect that came with it.
Lin Feng, whose face was still under his mask, was looking at Na Lan Feng with a ice cold glare. If they could fight then fight, otherwise just surrender? What was that supposed to mean? Lin Feng hadn't forgotten what had happened on that night when the Na Lan Clan had sent their clan members to chase and kill him. All of that had happened only because he had refused to allow Na Lan Feng to sit down on his table.
"I will use all my strength in this battle. I will make you lose. I will show everyone how prestigious and powerful my clan is compared to others." said Na Lan Chen while staring at Lin Feng and getting prepared to fight.
"Alright, let's start quickly then." said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. He wanted to see how powerful and prestigious the Na Lan Clan really was.
"Divine Arm spirit."
Even though Na Lan Chen wanted to protect the Na Lan Clan reputation and make it even more famous, he still didn't dare go easy on Lin Feng. Therefore, he released his spirit. Behind him had appeared a thick and muscular arm spirit, reaching towards the sky as if it wanted to climb its way to the heavens.
"Only those who are directly blood related to the Na Lan's possess that Divine Arm spirit. How majestic!"
"It is said that the Divine Arm Spirit can give its owner the strength of a god. How could one defeat the possessor of such a powerful spirit?"
"One punch and his opponent will be killed."
Because he had released his Divine Arm Spirit, Na Lan Chen was extremely confident and carried out a ruthless surprise attack towards Lin Feng.
"Divine Punch!"
Na Lan Chen shouted. His punch hadn't reached its destination yet but aura surrounding the fist was breaking through the air and shattering the atmosphere. It was clearly a elemental force.
"How powerful! So that is the strength of that Divine Arm Spirit which can only be possessed only by members of the Na Lan Clan."
"Not only is Na Lan Chen already at the ninth Qi layer but he can already use elemental forces…"
The whole crowd was stupefied. Lin Feng was surrounded by the strong Qi contained within the punch and the air was distorting around him. The shadow of a fist had filled the entire sky.
"You want to die." Lin Feng said. A cold silver light flashed through the air. Brilliant rays of light filled the atmosphere. With only one strike the gigantic fist shadow had completely disappeared without trace. There was only the resplendent light of Lin Feng's sword which at this moment looked glorious.
Na Lan Chen's facial expression had changed. He didn't stop releasing punches which made him step back each time. He had prepared a chain of strikes incase his first strike had failed.
"Die."
Lin Feng said only one word and Na Lan Chen felt like his heart had been stabbed. A overpowering light suddenly burst out from the sword, it burst through the atmosphere and then penetrated deeply into Na Lan Chen's throat. His body was sent flying backwards, his body landed heavily on the ground and his head was only attached by a small amount of flesh, there was a huge hole through his neck. His eyes were open wide and were filled with complete shock.
The Divine Arm Spirit of the Na Lan Clan's was able to accomplish great miracles.. but Lin Feng's sword was also able to accomplish great things.
"The sword strike is strong, but its user is terrifyingly strong."
When the crowd saw Na Lan Chen's body collapse, they felt chills running down their spines and they were staring blankly at Lin Feng. As before, one strike had been enough to kill his opponent.
Na Lan Xiong, the head of the Na Lan Clan, was also seized with terror and was rigidly staring at Lin Feng.
"You are damn brave. You surprisingly dared to kill a member of the Na Lan Clan." After a moment of hesitation, Na Lan Feng shouted those words extremely loudly and angrily towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Na Lan Feng. Then, he smiled coldly and said: "I understand your rules now, Na Lan Clan members are allowed to kill others but others are not allowed to kill members of your clan. You're really beyond shameless."
"You…" Na Lan Feng said furiously and then stopped herself. She didn't know if she should reply. "Just wait until you fight against me." said Na Lan Feng looking glum. Her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent.
Lin Feng ignored Na Lan Feng's remark, immediately turned around and came down off the stage. He didn't feel like speaking useless words to children.
"Duo Ming… he looks like a conqueror when he uses his sword."
Everybody was looking at Lin Feng and sighed with jealousy. Only a fearless or an extremely brave person would dare to provoke Lin Feng again. Those who hadn't been eliminated yet also looked concerned. They were all sighing and hoping that they wouldn't have to fight against that him. That would be the best possible scenario for them. That guy was able to kill with one swift strike and when fighting against him, there was absolutely no chance to surrender the fight before he attacked.
The second round came to an end very quickly and only ten people were left. Ten people left, five stages. Another round would be enough.
"Have a quick rest and then we'll continue with the third round." announced the old man who had stepped on the stage.
The crowd was slightly disappointed. They couldn't wait to watch the next battles. There were ten people left. All the clans had their main representatives in the remaining disciples. The Lin Clan still had two participants. Against all expectations, the Gu Clan only had one person left. Those who were left were the strongest within the tournament. However all eyes were fixed on the masked disciple, Lin Feng.
"This round should be amazing considering the strength of those left."
"It is very clear how strong they are. Na Lan Feng, Lin Qian as well as Wen Jiang should be the three strongest. Then there should be Gu Yan of the Gu Clan and Qiu Lan. Then, there is Lin Hong of the Lin Clan who has already broken through to the Ling Qi layer. As far as the extremely strong yet arrogant Duo Ming, those who haven't broken through to the Ling Qi layer shouldn't be able to defeat him."
"If he's lucky, he should be ranked seventh. If he's lucky, he should be able to move on to the next round."
The crowd was discussing the upcoming rankings. Everybody else nodded showing that they agreed with the previous statements. These should be quite accurate predictions. If Duo Ming managed to be ranked directly after those who had reached the Ling Qi layer, that would be beyond extraordinary.

Things are starting to get good ???? I should release the next one within an hour. I took a small….not so small…kinda long break earlier. lol Tiredness is kicking in, so I need to finish them quickly!!! 3 more to go
Enjoy xoxox
The break was a short one to allow the final 10 to regain their composure from the last battles. None of them had any substantial injuries from the previous fights. The old man declared the beginning of the third round. The crowd was burning with enthusiasm at the upcoming battles.
Amongst the ten people qualified for this round, six of them were at the Ling Qi layer. Duo Ming couldn't be as strong as them but was still extremely strong. There were only three people in whom the crowd wasn't very interested. Thus, most of the fights were going to be fascinating. This was going to be an entertaining show. There were some stages which strongly attracted people's attention. On one of them, two participants of the Ling Qi layer were going to fight: Qiu Lan against Lin Hong. The other battle which drew people's attention was Gu Yan against Duo Ming.
The other three battles were not that interesting. Na Lan Feng, Lin Qian as well as Wen Jiang could immediately conclude and move on to the next round. The predictions of the crowd were almost completely accurate. Those facing Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian had immediately given up. Wen Jiang had been fighting against Feng Qian. Even though Feng Qian had fought with all his strength, Wen Jiang had easily won the battle after three hits. Feng Qian had been blown off the stage with an explosive force. Wen Jiang hadn't even used all his strength to deal with Feng Qian. The difference between a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer and one of the Qi layer was too big; if they fought, the result was usually obvious.
At this moment, the crowd was currently paying attention to the fight between Qiu Lan and Lin Hong. They were both followed with great interest by the crowd and the victor of this battle was not clear.
On the Northern Stage, Gu Yan was looking at Lin Feng with an ice cold look and killing intent had completely filled his eyes. He had a murderous look and a evil grin on his face. What a stroke of luck! He had eventually been chosen to fight against Lin Feng. If Lin Feng didn't give up, Gu Yan would kill him and avenge Gu Qing Jr.'s death. He hated Lin Feng so much that he could feel it in his bones.
"If you are too scared to fight, then hurry up and get lost. Don't make us respectable cultivators, lose face." said Gu Yan looking at Lin Feng with a mocking gaze. Lin Feng, as usual, was standing there calm and quiet.
Then he said in a cold and detached tone: "You don't need to try and provoke me into a fight with you. Don't worry, I was never planning to run away from you."
"Hehe." When Gu Yan heard Lin Feng's words, he laughed demonically. He had managed to make Lin Feng angry enough to fight and had made sure he would not surrender without giving Gu Yan his revenge. He wouldn't have thought that Lin Feng would actually accept his challenge so easily.
"How ignorant. I will teach you what it means to have broken through to the Ling Qi layer. There is a huge difference between me and you." thought Gu Yan while smiling coldly. He didn't even release his spirit because it might scare Lin Feng away and make him surrender the fight.
Immediately after, Gu Yan started walking slowly towards Lin Feng. At that moment, about ten steps were separating Lin Feng and him when he suddenly started moving his hand. An extremely strong explosion spread through the atmosphere in Lin Feng's direction. An amazingly intense energy was blocking the sky and covering the earth to the extent it was impossible to see Lin Feng at the moment.
"You will die for having dared to provoke me and the members of my clan." shouted Gu Yan.
A second wave of intense power was moving towards Lin Feng. Even if Lin Feng couldn't endure the first attack, he would kill Lin Feng no matter what. He wanted to kill Lin Feng more than anything. He would not allow Lin Feng to leave this arena alive. Otherwise, he, the best young disciple of the Gu Clan, would lose face and it would be a humiliation for the Gu Clan.
At the moment when his powerful attack was going to crash onto Lin Feng's body, Gu Yan was already grinning with a cruel smile and was patiently awaiting the screams of pain. However, at that moment, the same resplendent light as before radiated in the atmosphere and filled the whole sky. The energy of Gu Yan's attack started looking like it was being torn apart like paper. It was growing weaker and seemed like it was going to vanish at any moment.
"Die." shouted Gu Yan loudly looking unaffected. He moved his hand and immediately added some force into the previous wave that seemed like it was going to collapse. The attack that he unleashed had looked like it could topple the mountains and overturn seas. This attack was more than enough to kill an opponent who had broken through to the Ling Qi layer.
"I REFUSE."
"BOOOM!!!!."
The voice who which loudly said "I REFUSE" sounded calm and indifferent. A sword Qi suddenly emerged and it looked like it could pierce the heavens themselves. Gu Yan's energy shattered into tiny pieces. His Qi had completely vanished. There was only the light of the sword which seemed to be standing above everything within the Universe.
"Ling Qi layer!" said Gu Yan looking deathly pale. How could he have not anticipated that Lin Feng could have been hiding his actual strength? He was too arrogant and conceited.
The sword looked desolate and it smelt like death. It was emanating a piercingly cold Qi which seemed to have an unstoppable destructive power. That sword user was conquering everything that laid in his path. His power couldn't be stopped.
The sword suddenly slashed out with incredible destructive power. It felt like it was consuming everything around it.
"Not good!"" shouted Gu Qing Sr. who had turned pale with fright. He stood up but it seemed like it was too late already. Gu Yan had been saying he would kill Lin Feng in one hit all along. His quick surprise attack hadn't even given him a small advantage. At that moment, he was unable to counterattack and was even more unable to block the sword attack.
"SWISH"
A stream of blood spilled out from Gu Yan's throat. Gu Yan, who had reached the Ling Qi layer, fell lifelessly onto the floor, his head rolling across the floor of the arena. This was also the first time that a cultivator of the Ling Qi layer had died so far during the tournament. He had died in a single strike.
At that moment, all the members of the Gu Clan stood up. They were looking at Lin Feng in despair. They were shaking with anger and fear. The sight of their clans bright future lying headless on the floor of the stage made them feel desperate.
"I WILL KILL YOU!!!" shouted Gu Qing Sr. so loudly that it hurt people's ears.
Na Lan Xiong frowned and said: "Head of the Gu Clan, how dare you? Have you forgotten that this is a tournament which was organized by the Na Lan Clan?"
Gu Qing Sr. looked at Na Lan Xiong completely shocked. He did not think anyone would stand in his way of removing an insignificant bug. He eventually groaned in dissatisfaction and sat down. However, from the way Gu Qing Sr. was looking at Lin Feng, it was obvious that he was never going to let him off.
"What? Gu Yan died. Like the other before in a single strike?" many people who were initially watching the fight between Qiu Lan and Lin Hong were astonished. Na Lan Xiong and Gu Qing Sr. had drawn their attention when shouting. When they saw Gu Yan's head which had been separated from his body, they turned pale.
Many people were regretting that they had missed such a wonderful battle. They hadn't thought that the battle would turn out to be that interesting and that a young disciple of the Ling Qi layer would actually get killed, especially by an extremely strong and mysterious young man called Duo Ming.
"All of us have made an error of judgement. Duo Ming has also broken through to the Ling Qi layer."
"He's incredibly strong. His strength enables him to move on to the next round."
Not only the crowd thought that but Na Lan Xiong while looking at Lin Feng's back who was getting down off the stage had a similar thought. This young man could defeat cultivators of the Qi layer in a single strike with his sword but he could also defeat cultivators of the Ling Qi layer in one hit… He is terrifyingly strong. Nobody had realized his potential before. At that moment, the other battle had also finished and was won by Qiu Lan. She had won against Lin Hong. At that point, all those selected to continue to the next round were known. Na Lan Feng, Lin Qian, Wen Jiang, Qiu Lan and Duo Ming!
The two who did not belong to a powerful clan had won again: Qiu Lan and Duo Ming. The Gu Clan had no participant anymore and their top two disciples had been beheaded by Lin Feng.
The old man announced a short break again. "Fourth round, Lin Qian can wait, Na Lan Feng will fight against Wen Jiang and Qiu Lan will fight against Duo Ming."The crowd was really excited. The last battles were finally going to start. Na Lan Feng's strength was obviously incredible. Wen Jiang however, was even stronger than Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian as he had already broken through to the second Ling Qi layer. These battles were going to be very exciting. There was also that incredibly strong Duo Ming who had killed three people with a single strike. His battle against Qiu Lan was probably going to be the same sort of battle. Now that the strongest disciples had been decided, the battles would now take place on the main stage.
The first battle was going to be between Na Lan Feng and Wen Jiang. "Wen Jiang, you are quite strong but as before, you will not fight against me." said Na Lan Feng in an extremely arrogant way, sounding like a royalty talking down to a servant, showing disdain for everything and everyone.
"HA, I broke through to the second Ling Qi layer… you are only at the first Ling Qi layer, you should be the one giving up." Wen Jiang said contradicting her.
"What a moron!" shouted Na Lan Feng while releasing her spirit. Immediately after, her Divine Arm Spirit had appeared behind her back. The most shocking thing was that her Divine Arm Spirit slightly differed from that of Na Lan Chen who had been killed by Lin Feng. Her Divine Arm Spirit was gold. It looked like the gold light radiating from the arm couldn't be stopped by anything.
"Only a golden Divine Arm Spirit can be regarded as a perfect Divine Arm Spirit." Said Na Lan Xiong while smiling.
In a hundred years, Na Lan Feng was the only one to have a golden Divine Arm Spirit when her spirit was awakened.
"She definitely deserves to be called the Princess of Yangzhou City. She has a golden Divine Arm Spirit and it looks so strong and powerful."The crowd was shivering and was moved by the Princess at the same time. Wen Jiang thought that losing was not an option and released his spirit as well. On his back appeared a Great River spirit. Great waves were unceasingly flowing with a crashing sound. That was the spirit of the Wen Clan: the Great River spirit.
"In this world, nothing can be considered bizarre, really." sighed Lin Feng while looking at the spirits released by the fighters. An arm can become a spirit… and on top of that it can be gold. Rivers could also be spirits…The number of different spirits which existed was unimaginable. Nobody could imagine how many there were. Anything could become a spirit in this world.
Lin Feng was looking at Lin Qian. If his predictions were right, Na Lan Feng would win that battle and would then wait during the next round which would mean that after winning against Qiu Lan, he would battle against Lin Qian.

I HAVE RELEASED CHAPTER NUMBER 6 OF THE DAY! #7 is almost done!!!
Enjoy xoxox
As Lin Feng had predicted, Na Lan Feng won against Wen Jiang almost effortlessly even though he had reached a higher layer than her. This was because of her overpowering spirit.
Since the very beginning, Na Lan Feng had only used one skill: Divine Punch. But in comparison with that of Na Lan Chen, Na Lan Feng's skills were infinitely more powerful. Her force had a earth shattering power and each strike was extremely heavy. Each time Na Lan Feng carried out an attack, it made Wen Jiang step back a few meters. At some point, he had been shaking so much from receiving the strike that he could not defend and the following strike had severely injured him so he could no longer fight, he had no choice but to give up.
"Na Lan Feng is so strong. She's the Na Lan Clan's princess… It's not surprising that she's extraordinary. Nobody can compete with her." Many people were filled with emotion when they saw how strong and beautiful Na Lan Feng was, they had the feeling that she was invincible. They were filled with admiration and worship. Not only was Na Lan Feng extremely beautiful but she was also extremely talented. Many people wished they had the same innate gifts as Na Lan Feng. They were very excited to see how she would develop and what other powers she would show in the future.
The second battle was about to begin. Lin Feng was going to fight against Qiu Lan. The crowd could no longer contain their excitement and many were cheering. Even though the battle was probably not going to be as spectacular as the one they had just watched, it should also be quite intense. Besides, they didn't know how strong Duo Ming really was and were wondering if he could really defeat Qiu Lan. Lin Feng and Qiu Lan were looking at each other and Qiu Lan had a smile on her face. "I do not need to fight any longer in this tournament, I surrender this battle."
The crowd was astonished when they heard the word "surrender". Qiu Lan had played a role in the organization of the annual tournament, she had contributed in selecting who would join and now that she had to fight Duo Ming, she had given up…?
"Could it be that Duo Ming and Qiu Lan have already fought before and that Qiu Lan knows that she can't defeat Duo Ming?" wondered the whole crowd lost in confusion. They were trying to guess what was really going on as they really couldn't clearly understand the situation in front of their eyes.
"Alright, nothing can be done. Lets move to the next battle." said the old man indifferently.
"For the last battle, the three remaining participants will step onto the main stage. The last one remaining on stage will be the winner."
"Huh?" Lin Feng was stupefied. He had thought that the old man would make him and Lin Qian fight first and that there then would be a final battle. He wouldn't have thought that all of them would be fighting each other at the same time in a free-for-all fight. But as before, Lin Feng went back onto the main stage and walked towards the other participants: Na La Feng and Lin Qian, who had just come up onto the main stage as well.
"Phewwww… this decisive battle. Let's try and guess who is going to win."
"It should be Na Lan Feng. She's extremely powerful and has a Golden Divine Arm spirit. She's almost invincible. Lin Qian and Duo Ming shouldn't be able to compete with her."
"I don't know what to think. Lin Qian hasn't used all her strength, so it is impossible to judge. She hasn't even released her spirit yet. Do you know even what spirit Lin Qian possesses?"
"I agree, with her Universal ice and fire spirit. She's incredibly strong. I actually think that the one who has the biggest potential to win is Lin Qian."
Everybody was giving their own opinion about who was going to win or lose. All of them thought that either Lin Qian or Na Lan Feng would win. Nobody thought Lin Feng had a chance to win. Even if Lin Feng was now regarded as being extremely strong, the crowd still thought that there were only two people who had a chance to win within the three remaining participants.
Two amazing yet arrogant female Cultivators from Yangzhou City: Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian. The contrast between them and the strange masked young boy was too great for anyone to attach any importance to him. The three participants were on the stage, each of them standing in one corner of the stage but Na Lan Feng was staring at Lin Qian since the beginning. Lin Qian was also continuously staring at Na Lan Feng. They were staring at each other as if they were fighting a one-on-one battle. It seemed like they had forgotten about Lin Feng.Lin Feng looked at the two girls and smiled deep in his heart. They both wanted to kill him but at that moment, they didn't even know his real identity and were completely ignoring him.
"Na Lan Feng, you will regret what you made me go through on that night. And you, Lin Qian, you made me and my father leave the clan, you wanted to kill me and my dad… The time for revenge is slowly approaching." thought Lin Feng. In that cold and cruel world, Lin Feng particularly appreciated and cherished the tenderness and affection that he received any hostility would also be engraved in his memories. In this world, one could only rely on themselves.
After a while, Na Lan Feng's attention was finally drawn away from Lin Qian. She had an arrogant smile on her face. "You're quite strong, if you wish, you can join my clan, the Na Lan Clan. Concerning everything that you just did, well, I could forget everything. Besides, I can also personally help you practice cultivation once in a while." Na Lan Feng had a huge smile on her face. She unconsciously looked utterly arrogant, she didn't do it on purpose, but could not hide the arrogance which had been engraved into her soul. Concerning the thing that had happened a moment ago and that she could forgive, she was obviously talking about the fact that Lin Feng had killed Na Lan Chen.
"You… want to help me practice cultivation?" murmured Lin Feng. The girl, who thought she was the best in the world, wasn't only half arrogant, she was really completely arrogant down to the last fibre of her being, as expected.
"Indeed, I, personally, can help you practice cultivation." said Na Lan Feng who didn't know what Lin Feng really meant. She even thought that Lin Feng felt extremely honored. She was still smiling and said: "you have to understand that this is a once in a life opportunity. This usually never happens in the Na Lan Clan. You really are lucky." Actually, Na Lan Feng's proposition was really attractive to ordinary people, many ordinary cultivators would have dreamt of being offered such an opportunity. Besides, she, herself, was really attractive and her smile was terribly sexy. However this was not a tournament for normal people, which showed just how arrogant she actually was.
"That would be a dream if it happened to me… even if I had that dream, I would be smiling even after waking up…"
"The Princess Na Lan… personally…"
Many people in the crowd envied Lin Feng so much and were looking on with envious eyes. He was really incredibly lucky. Could the audience which was filled with ordinary people really be the judge?… did Lin Feng even need Na Lan Feng's help to practice Cultivation? It was like she was offering him coal and saying it was a diamond.
"Hmm, should I feel extremely flattered?" asked Lin Feng in a joking and teasing tone. Because of Lin Feng's mask, Na Lan Feng was unable to see his facial expression. However, the tone of his voice had changed in comparison with before.
"Why wouldn't you feel that way?" asked Na Lan Feng now feeling indifferent with a smaller smile on her face than before. Lin Feng remained silent for a moment. She was as arrogant and conceited as before, she was the best in the world when it came to arrogance.
"Hahahaha, Na Lan Feng, I would have never thought that you were truly so incredibly stupid. I really don't understand what help or advice, someone as stupid as you, can give me on the path of cultivation."
At that moment, laughter sounded from within the crowd. Then, a figure shot through the crowd, it flew like a legendary bird and immediately landed on the main stage. This person looked extremely arrogant. It was a young man who looked incredibly majestic and unreachable. His face was very thin. He radiated arrogance from head to toe.
"Bai Yuan Hao." Na Lan Feng said while looking surprised. She narrowed her eyes as she hadn't expected him to come.
"Indeed." said the young man while looking at Na Lan Feng. He was looking at her with a smile on his face. "Na Lan Feng, in the Imperial City, you are an ordinary person, nothing more. I would have never thought that you called yourself a princess in Yangzhou City. You are so arrogant and top of that seem to be so incredibly satisfied with yourself. You're such a cheap maid."
"SHUT THE HELL UP." Na Lan Feng shouted extremely aggressively in an ice cold tone.
"Huh? Are you getting angry because I called you a cheap maid? So it must be true that you're convinced that you are a real princess…" that young man didn't even give her a glance and continued to grin.
"Well, you're just a worthless dog as well, nothing more." said Na Lan Feng in a cold tone trying to humiliate him.
"By telling me this, are you admitting the fact that you're a cheap maid?" said the young man while laughing making Na Lan Feng's go rigid with anger. She didn't look beautiful at all at that moment.
"Shut up!" shouted Na Lan Feng flying into a rage out of humiliation. When they heard that conversation, the crowd was quite confused. The Yangzhou City's Princess, who was so popular and whose reputation was amazing, was being called a cheap maid by a random person?That young man who had just come out was obviously a nobody talking nonsense.
"How audacious, you actually dared to come to the tournament which is organized by my clan, the Na Lan Clan and conduct yourself in such an disrespectful way. You really want to die." said Na Lan Xion while staring at that young man furious.
"Shut up you scum." said the young man while turning around. He then looked at Na Lan Xiong looking furious and said: "You are the head of the Na Lan Clan, nothing more, and you dare boast shamelessly. Let me tell you, if I wish, I can make your entire clan disappear like fire under water."
"Grrrrr…" Na Lan Xiong was so furious and enraged that he was going insane. He wouldn't have thought that that man would be so insolent. The crowd was extremely confused and didn't understand anything that had happened. They were wondering who that young man who had just appeared really was. He seemed to be even more arrogant than Na Lan Feng or Lin Qian. He even dared to threaten the head of the Na Lan Clan and insult him.
"Alright. Alright. I, Na Lan Xiong, would like to see how you intend to make my clan, the Na Lan Clan, disappear." said Na Lan Xiong who was smiling and no longer looked furious. It was the first time in Yangzhou City that someone dared talk to him that way. That guy was boundlessly wild and arrogant.
"Father, can you let me, your daughter, solve that problem myself?" Na Lan Feng had suddenly asked her father that question which left Na Lan Xiong stunned. He was at that moment shaking in fear… Na Lan Feng meant that…
"Bai Yuan Hao, why are you not in the Imperial City and why did you come to Yangzhou City?"
"I came to ask for the repayment of a debt." said Bai Yuan Hao while smiling. Immediately after, he looked at Lin Feng and said: "Alright, you, come down."
"Huh?" Lin Feng frowned. Bai Yuan Hao was ordering him to come down as if he was Lin Feng's superior.
Lin Feng looked at Bai Yuan Hao and didn't move.Bai Yuan Hao frowned and said in an ice cold tone: "Get the hell down now, come down off that stage immediately!"

Special Thanks to likyliky, he is single handedly forcing me into slavery ???? I don't know if I will be able to manage the final chapter, plus I know you guys really love cliffhangers …..so …..what do you guys think?
I hope you enjoy chapter 7 of the potential 8!
"What do you intend to do? Who exactly do you think you are by ordering me to come down like that?" said Lin Feng in a tone filled with disdain.
The crowd started to think that everyone was becoming even more crazier than the last person. They were so crazy, they suited each other perfectly. Lin Feng wasn't important in these people's eyes and after all, they still despised him.
He wanted to see who despised him and who he could really count on in the end. It would make things much easier for him in the future to know who his real allies and enemies are.
"What do I intend to do?" said Bai Yuan Hao with an evil smile on his face. He sneered at Lin Feng and said: "I am using you. You are my pet dog, nothing more… and you dare ask me what I intend to do?"
"Qiu Lan, there's nothing great about the people you chose to come. Even though their strength is so-so, they dare to disobey orders." Qiu Lan made a wry smile and shook her head, then she said: "Duo Ming, you cannot fight against my bro. You should never fight against him. Get down now, ok?"
"Bro??" the crowd was stupefied. Qiu Lan suddenly called that wild and arrogant young man "bro".
"I just came here to participate in the annual tournament, that's all. I am under nobody's control." said Lin Feng as cold and detached before adding: "Whether I am his opponent or not, you are drawing final conclusions too early."
"Hehe, I wouldn't have thought that in such a small place as Yangzhou City, there would surprisingly be someone who would dare talk to me, Qiu Yuan Hao, that way. really audacious to the extreme."
"Qiu Lan, Qiu Yuan Hao, your family name is also Qiu?!" asked Na Lan Xiong standing and looking extremely surprised. "You guessed right, my family name is also Qiu. Qiu Lan and I were once members of the Qiu Clan in Yangzhou City. One night, you made our clan, the Qiu Clan, disappear, vanish like a fire under water." Qiu Yuan Hao's expression was ice cold and was looking at Na Lan Xiong with fury. "That year, every member of the Qiu Clan was extremely powerful, we had a great many geniuses… All had extremely strong spirits. It even became the strongest clan of Yangzhou City. Nobody would have ever thought that you, head of the Na Lan Clan, would be so scared just because the Qiu Clan had become so strong. One night, you carried out a surprise attack on the Qiu Clan, slaughtering its members and their families. You almost killed everyone and exterminated our bloodline. That debt of blood, you can't have forgotten it, right?"
The crowd was shaking in fear. Qiu Yuan Hao and Qiu Lan had belonged to the Qiu Clan in the past. In the crowd, everybody had heard about the Qiu Clan who was extremely powerful and relied on Vital Golden spirits… The Qiu Clan was like an unstoppable comet, nobody was able to defeat them and they were extremely famous. But one night, it completely disappeared from Yangzhou City without trace. Some people thought that the entire clan had moved to another place. Some other people thought that they had been killed by an unknown enemy. But the crowd would have never thought that the Qiu Clan had been annihilated by the Na Lan Clan. They had not only slaughtered them but also destroyed the evidence extremely well.
Na Lan Xiong's heart was pounding. He was filled with rage and fury. Killing intent was making his eyes glow, He had never thought that there were survivors of the Qiu Clan.
"What? You want to silence witnesses by killing them?" said Qiu Yuan Hao with an evil smile on his face before adding: "Na Lan Xiong, I advise you not to get too excited. Your clan, the Na Lan Clan, will not continue to exist for a long time. Wait for me to come and get my revenge. Wait for me to annihilate your clan. Tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow, the name of your clan will not exist anymore in Yangzhou City."
"Is that so? I would like to see how you are going to make us, the Na Lan Clan, disappear." said Na Lan Xiong while smiling coldly.
"Father!" At that moment, Na Lan Feng said again. She was looking at her father while shaking her head which made everyone stupefied. It seemed like Qiu Yuan Hao's words were not lies. He probably had a huge force behind him to back him up. Otherwise, Na Lan Feng would not over cautious like that. She seemed to be scared of them.
"Bai Yuan Hao, I don't believe that you would ever touch me." said Na Lan Feng in a cold tone.
"I wouldn't dare kill you, but I definitely will dare humiliate you. Today, I came to Yangzhou in order to make my clan, the Qiu Clan, shine again, and to make people understand how filthy and evil your clan is. Your clan is disgusting. Wait and see, someday, I will come back to Yangzhou City, that will be the day when your clan disappears. Qiu Yuan sounded proud of himself and said: "Alright, you three continue your childish thing… the geniuses of Yangzhou City, haha, how ridiculous, how amusing!"
"If you have enemies, then you should get your revenge. But you shouldn't use me as a stepping stone." Lin Feng said while looking at Qiu Yuan Hao and then added: "Once the tournament finishes, your problems will have nothing to do with me."
"How stupid and foolish. Who do you think you are? If I, Qiu Yuan Hao, want to kill you, then I will kill you. An insignificant doggy like you still dares to show off. Since you don't want to close your big mouth, you should stay here forever and make this your grave." said Qiu Yuan Hao while smiling evilly.
"An insignificant dog? You can kill me if you want to? Truly ignorant" said Lin Feng in an evil tone while shaking his head. Qiu Lan and Qiu Yuan Hao were filled with an intense and deep hatred. He could understand why and where that hatred came from. Therefore, he had showed respect to them but Qiu Yuan Hao thought he was better than everybody else and he continued to insult and trying to humiliate Lin Feng. Since it was this way, Lin Feng had no reason to try and understand him and his hatred or show compassion to him.
"Yangzhou City geniuses? Today, I want to show to everyone that you are just a bunch of trash." said Qiu Yuan Hao in an impudent way. He then released his spirit, immediately, his entire body was covered with a magnificent golden light looking like rays of sun light. As the top of the arena was not covered, sunlight was refracting on his spirit which made it look even more majestic. The eyes of the people in the crowd were stunned by this magnificent view. His spirit was even more dazzling than Na Lan Feng's golden Divine Arm Spirit.
"That's a real golden spirit, how awesome!" said the crowd amazed. At that moment, Qiu Yuan Hao's body looked like a gigantic and invulnerable mountain of gold.
"Na Lan Feng, you proclaimed yourself as genius, you are extremely arrogant because you possess a golden Divine Arm Spirit, try and have a fight against me." Qiu Yuan Hao's long hair was fluttering in the air. His entire body looked was majestic, coupled with the golden aura which had surrounded his body… The crowd had the feeling the feeling that he was invincible.
He stamped heavily on the main stage which made everyone shake. The entire crowd could already see how powerful he looked but being affected by his attack from such a distance had confirmed how powerful he was.
"Invincible Golden Body" Qiu Yuan Hao's Qi was extremely powerful and made an incredibly loud noise. He then punched in the direction of Na Lan Feng and it looked like that punch was going to be fatal. Invincible Golden Body was a skill which Qiu Yuan Hao had accidentally discovered. It was one of the lowest skills of the Xuan category. Besides, coupled with his Golden Body Spirit, it was even more powerful. The power of the attack was truly amazing. Relying on that combination of spirit and technique, Qiu Yuan Hao could kill many cultivators of a similar strength.
"Divine Punch." When Na Lan Feng saw that Qiu Yuan Hao was about to attack, she did the same and started an attack with a loud shout. She didn't think that her Divine Arm Spirit was going to be much weaker than the spirit of her opponent.
"BOOM, BOOM…."
Power versus power. The entire atmosphere was shaking. Between the two golden punches, a splendid Qi appeared and made a whistling sound as it cut through the air. It then turned into a violent hurricane which shot into the atmosphere.
"Let me crush you." The brilliant golden light on Qiu Yuan Hao's body became even more radiant. An incredible strength emerged all around his fist. Na Lan Feng groaned and was knocked back ten steps. She was now breathing heavily. She was still looking at Qiu Yuan Hao. He still had his cold and arrogant smile on his face. He was breathing normally and there wasn't a single sign of exhaustion at all. The arrogant and prestigious girl of Yangzhou City couldn't even withstand a single attack when facing that opponent. She was already exhausted and about to collapse.
"That Divine Punch is strong."Divine Punch was an extremely powerful attack but Qiu Yuan Hao's Golden Body spirit hadn't been defeated yet. It was much stronger and incomparably more powerful. "You dare call yourself a genius. That kind of foolishness is only possible in a small city like Yangzhou City. Only in such a miserable place, can you play that little game and make a show of authority, that's all." Then he turned and looked at Lin Feng and Lin Qian "It should be the two of you on this stage, I don't mind teaching you a lesson once, I want you to understand that you have an exaggerated opinion about yourselves. I also wanted to show all these people, these good-for-nothings what kind of people you are and yet dare call yourselves geniuses."
Qiu Yuan Hao was extremely arrogant and confident in his power. He thought that every single person in Yangzhou City was a piece of trash, a good-for-nothing. However, he had defeated Na Lan Qiu a single attack so he actually had the right to be that presumptuous and arrogant. "That young man is really an outstanding talent. He is an authentic genius and extremely powerful." The crowd was looking at Qiu Yuan Hao as if he was a deity. They thought that his strength was incredible. The person in whom the crowd had faith, miserably lost against Qiu Yuan Hao, what kind of person had such power?
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, everybody only supported strong Cultivators. "Well, what about you? Are you not making a show of authority in Yangzhou City?" At that moment, Lin Feng had said those words as if he had spat them directly into Qiu Yuan Hao's face, which stupefied everybody in the crowd. He was really audacious, suddenly daring to humiliate Qiu Yuan Hao.
Qiu Yuan Hao looked indifferent and even had a teasing expression in his eyes. He then said: "Look at that, how brave. Once again, you've been playing the role of my little doggy. This time, I will have mercy on you, I will not kill you. However, as a punishment for your insolence, I will make your life a living hell and destroy that rotten mouth of yours."
"Little doggy, rotten mouth… I noticed how rich your vocabulary is. However, I think that you are the one who spends his life being a little doggy." said Lin Feng while grinning and sneering at Qiu Yuan Hao. Even though Qiu Yuan Hao's spirit was powerful, his strength was equivalent to that normally reached when at the first Ling Qi layer, otherwise, his punch a moment before wouldn't have just made Na Lan Feng step back of a few steps.
"I'll kill you!" yelled Qiu Yuan Hao. He liked to call other people names but what he hated the most was being called names by other people. His body started glowing in a golden light and he threw himself towards Lin Feng…

I hope you all enjoyed it and continue to support the series xoxox bed time for this evil bunny!
A golden palm carrying an extremely strong pressure was rushing towards Lin Feng. The crowd could already imagine Lin Feng getting blown away by that palm strike. Na Lan Feng had been defeated by a similar attack, what about Lin Feng?
"Get Lost!"" said Lin Feng strictly. The light of his sword was dazzling as it filled the eyes of everyone watching. The resplendent sword light and the golden hand enhanced each other's beauty. As a result of their collision, a loud sound similar to that of a gong spread throughout the atmosphere.
Qiu Yuan Hao's golden body not only allowed him to carry out formidably strong attacks but also enabled him to greatly enhance his defense. It seemed like he was impervious to spears and swords. Thus, Lin Feng's sword was unable to hurt him.
That was precisely what Qiu Yuan Hao relied on, his defense skills. He relied on them as much as he relied on his arrogance.
"Hahaha, are you kidding me? You little doggy, you're just a piece of trash. You'll never be able to hurt me." said Qiu Yuan Hao sneering at Lin Feng. His golden light began to once again fill the air. Lin Feng just sensed the colossal oppressing strength against his sword. That strength made his sword shake so much that he almost had it slip from him grasp.
"Really?" replied Lin Feng indifferently. If the sword was used quickly, it could never be stopped. It could overrun all fortifications. A sword user could crush and annihilate everything in his path. Nobody could survive a sword that they did not see.
There were a myriad of weapon spirits but the sword spirit was one of the strongest and most powerful weapon spirits which existed. Even though Lin Feng didn't have a sword spirit, his knowledge when it came to swords surpassed that of a great majority of cultivators who had a sword spirit.
"Sword force." Lin Feng whispered. His sword was dazzling. Brilliant rays of lights started to consume the atmosphere. An extremely strong Qi was concentrated in the tip of his sword and emitted a loud explosion.
"BOOOOOOM!"
Lin Feng's sword collided with Qiu Yuan Hao's spirit again. A sound like tearing paper spread throughout the air. Qiu Yuan Hao's facial expression immediately changed. He, who was incredibly strong, had had to step back to avoid that powerful sword and could not rely only on his defenses.
When Lin Feng saw that Qiu Yuan Hao had stepped back, he put his sword on his shoulder and said while smiling coldly: "You said that I was unable to hurt you, well then, why did you just step back?"
When Qiu Yuan Hao heard those words, his face twisted in anger and while staring at Lin Feng, said: "I admit that I underestimated you but I am stronger than you. You're still a little doggy, no a little chicken who cannot even withstand a single attack."
"You talk a lot, but everything that leaves your mouth is crap." Lin Feng said sounding exhausted. "If being a genius means opening one's big mouth and stupidly judging other people, then you definitely are a real genius, a true genius, a genius unmatched beneath the heavens"
"How fearless. Duo Ming has been brave in the face of danger this whole time. He has no fear." When the crowd saw that Lin Feng had made Qiu Yuan Hao step back, their expression was bright. They already regarded Duo Ming as someone great. They used to think that Lin Feng only had a little power, they had underestimated him… but at that moment, they really thought that he was stronger than Na Lan Feng or Lin Qian.
Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian were also watching Lin Feng and started to think very highly of him. They had thought that Lin Feng wasn't that strong before but at that moment, they realized how ignorant they had been. Actually, Duo Ming was the person to be careful of, he was on a higher level than them both.
"Even though we can't see his face, he's obviously very young and he's a real genius. He must have been gifted ever since his birth. If he could join my clan, the Na Lan Clan, that would be a great help." said Na Lan Feng who really hoped Duo Ming would join her clan. Then, she walked towards Lin Feng and said: "Duo Ming, I admit that I underestimated you. With such strength like yours, my clan, the Na Lan Clan, will really respect you. Please join my clan and support us in the future. Then, you will able to meet me everyday no matter what, wouldn't that be great for you. Please join?"
Na Lan Feng sounded arrogant and self-confident again. She had recovered from her previous emotions. Relying on her natural beauty and feminine charms, she tried to convince Lin Feng to meet her every day. Both would gain a lot from such a relationship. Besides, she was really beautiful so she was convinced that Lin Feng would not refuse her suggestion.
"Get lost."
What nobody had expected was that Lin Feng had not only rejected Na Lan Feng's proposition but had also brandished his sword in her direction, which made him look extremely ruthless.
Na Lan Feng's pupils were dilated. She released her Divine Arm Spirit and started her Divine Punch and bombarded his sword.
But nothing happened, the long sword didn't even move a millimeter. Then, a thunderous roar spread throughout the atmosphere carrying an insanely violent and explosive Qi within. It looked beyond terrifying.
Na Lan Feng's expression suddenly changed. She quickly dodged the attack. She was extremely quick.
"BOOOM!."
Lin Feng thrust out his left hand which was followed by a loud explosive noise. That punch turned into a multitude of fist shadows superposing one another. Each fist shadow was stronger than the last. It looked like he had created a flood of punches.
They were moving towards Na Lan Feng at an unimaginable speed.
Na Lan Feng groaned. She was blown backwards and looked extremely fragile and weak. She slid backwards to the edge of the main fighting stage. One more step backwards and she would have fallen off.
At that moment, the crowd didn't know what was going on anymore, they were too confused. Lin Feng had astonished them too many times.
Each time Lin Feng moved, they found him amazing, but each time, they also realized they had been underestimating him. It seemed like his strength was ever increasing. It looked like they were underestimating him over and over again. Even at that moment, Lin Feng had defeated Na Lan Feng quickly and efficiently.
They remembered how they had thought that Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian were definitely going to win this fight and had never put the young man in their eyes. They were thinking that they had been ridiculous and foolish. If Qiu Yuan Hao hadn't been there, Lin Feng would have deserved to be designated as their grandfather.
The crowd were not the only ones to think that way. Na Lan Feng and Lin Qian, but especially Na Lan Feng, thought that they were the only ones who had a chance and were ignoring Lin Feng when the three of them were on the battle stage, getting ready for the final battle. They had almost forgotten that Lin Feng was even there. They had really underestimated him. At that moment, they also realized how ridiculous they had been. They realized by underestimating him, they could have both died beneath his sword.
"You are so strong… would you please help me practice and improve my cultivation skills…?" said Lin Feng while looking at Na Lan Feng as he was blatantly humiliating her. Lin Feng was filled with indignation and anger because of that arrogant girl's behavior but what enraged Lin Feng the most was that that girl didn't respect people… and she wanted other people to respect her, otherwise why would she send her troops at night to attack the offenders by surprise. Lin Feng couldn't stand the arrogant and haughty girl.
Na Lan Feng was utterly ashamed of herself when she remembered what she had said. She had the feeling she was truly foolish.
"Join your clan, meet you everyday, who do you think you are? You think you are alone at the top of the world, you think others are beneath you. What gives you the right to think that I would ever want to meet you every day?"
Lin Feng continued to talk and made Na Lan Feng understand how ridiculous she was and that she had no right to be arrogant.
Na Lan Feng had the feeling that her face was burning. She couldn't refute anything that Lin Feng had said.
At that moment, Na Lan Xiong was looking at them. He was staring at Lin Feng who was filled with anger and whose expression was ice cold. He had defeated Na Lan Feng so easily. That Duo Ming really looked like he was going to kill the arrogant Na Lan Feng, the greatest disciple of the Na Lan Clan, a real genius.
The crowd hadn't been so excited as at that moment. Lin Qian, Na Lan Feng, Duo Ming as well as Qiu Yuan Hao, all were geniuses, all were stronger than the other.
None of them had a strength which could make the crowd despise them, but some of them were so insanely strong that the crowd's blood was boiling in excitement, for example when looking at Lin Feng.
He gradually was showing more and more strength, he was gradually becoming more and more insane. So far, he hadn't been so furious and enraged as at that moment. The more ruthless he became, the more excited the crowd became. Nobody was even willing to fight against him anymore. He was really hot-blooded and merciless.
"Oh, you're still there. I have no intention to fight against you to prevent you from taking your revenge… but do you think that trying to humiliate me over and over again and thinking that you are the best person in the world makes you an amazing person?"
Lin Feng had turned around and was looking at Qiu Yuan Hao and then said in an ice cold tone: "You say that Na Lan Feng is extremely arrogant and sets herself high above everyone else… that she can act that way only because she is in a small and miserable town like Yangzhou City… what about you? Are you not acting in the same way? Genius? calling me a little doggy and a chicken… now, I would like to ask you, what makes you a genius?"
Lin Feng said that while walking. He released his spirit for the first time.
All of them seemed not to have noticed that they had all released their spirit at least once… but Lin Feng had not released his spirit the whole time.
In his eyes, the entire world became darkness. Lin Feng's eyes became pitch black. He looked truly evil. It looked like he had two black holes instead of eyes. He looked like a demon.
Everything around him seemed to slow down. Every movement, every person and their face, every single thing… Lin Feng could see everything around him at the same time and it was crystal clear as if everything was moving in slow motion. Nothing could escape from Lin Feng's attention. He knew what everyone was doing at any given time.
He could also hear his own heart palpitating. He could even sense his own blood circulating in his veins. He could sense every single movement that Qiu Yuan Hao was making, including his respiration.
Lin Feng was unable to speak at that moment though as if he, was an omnipotent deity, as if he was in every single moment at the same time, as if he was a gigantic pair of eyes able to observe every single thing in the universe at the same time… but eyes couldn't speak.
Through the silver mask that Lin Feng was wearing, Qiu Yuan Hao could see Lin Feng's eyes. He had begun to tremble with fear, he had never felt so much fear in his life. He couldn't realize what he was seeing. What was wrong with Lin Feng's eyes? Why did it seem like he was staring into the eyes of death itself?
At that moment, Qiu Yuan Hao was confused and terrified. He could feel the fear penetrating deep into his bones and was shivering like he was frozen. He must be having a hallucination, there was nobody in front of him.
Lin Feng was clearly standing in front of him but Qiu Yuan Hao couldn't feel his presence at all. It was just as if he was closing his eyes and couldn't see people or sense other people's presence near him. It was as if the place where Lin Feng stood was a black hole which absorbed his presence.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
At that moment, the atmosphere was extremely silent. Everybody was staring at Lin Feng as if he was the only person within the universe.
Even though Lin Feng's steps made almost no sound at all, each and every one of his steps caused a terrifying sensation in their hearts, it sounded like their hearts were trying to burst from their chests. This was fear, this was terror. It was a primal instinct, everyone wanted to do only one thing….Run.
With eyes filled with fury, Lin Feng was drawing closer and closer to the frozen Qiu Yuan Hao with every step.

Special Thanks to likyliky again for sponsoring my slavery. This is my first release of tonight.
Also thanks to Readtilltheybleed, he made a very creative comment which I now use for synopsis.
Enjoy! xoxox
At that moment, Lin Feng was shrouded in a mysterious aura of darkness. His steps seemed to be corresponding to some kind of special cosmic rhythm. That cosmic rhythm seemed to follow the same laws as that of elemental forces.
The sword could diffuse a strong sword force with each strike… heaven and earth would also naturally produce a force which filled the world.
When Lin Feng released his spirit, he could sense and comprehend things in a way that was shockingly advanced, he could understand the mysteries which confused cultivators who were several realms higher. Millions of thoughts were circulating in his brain at full speed. These thoughts gave Lin Feng strange perceptions and a feeling of understanding a higher realm.
"Celestial spirit, transforms me into something unknown and unbelievably strong…." thought Lin Feng very pleased but it was impossible to see it on his face. Lin Feng's right hand reached down and begun to remove his belt.
"Huh?" the entire crowd was looking at Lin Feng's movements and could not believe he had just removed his belt. What was he planning to do?
"It's… it's a sword!" Everybody's eyes seemed even more shocked that his silver belt had become a sword. They had already seen that Lin Feng was carrying a sword on his shoulder but they hadn't paid attention to what was around his waist… Lin Feng seemed to be holding something which resembled a soft and flexible sword.
Lin Feng was getting nearer and nearer to Qiu Yuan Hao. At that moment, an extremely strong sword Qi was revolving around Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng's body seemed to look like the handle of a sword and the Qi which was emanating from his sword and body had formed a blade like shape in the air above him..
"Is that a spirit?" The entire crowd had a strange feeling and didn't really understand what was going on. Could it be that Lin Fen had a sword spirit? Otherwise, how could he be surrounded by such an insanely strong sword Qi?
The crowd seemed to have come to the realization that Lin Feng hadn't released his spirit at all… He hadn't needed to… he could display a strength above that of the geniuses before them, without releasing his spirit.
With each step that he took, the sword force was becoming stronger and stronger. Just by looking at the sword, everyone could tell that the killing force contained was growing with each passing moment. Even though Lin Feng was filled with murderous thoughts and his face was shockingly calm, it also seemed like he was slightly happy.
"The ten thousands things of creation possess a force, it is part of their innermost nature and the sword itself has a force… why keep using sword Qi when there is unlimited force?"
Before, Lin Feng would need to release a lot of sword Qi to use the sword force but at this moment he was not releasing his own sword Qi, but was using the Sword force and taking the Qi from the sword into his body. He could freely control the force to his will. He could now borrow force whenever he wanted. Therefore, he could unleash as much sword force in a single strike as he pleased. He was no longer limited by his own Qi.
His entire body and aura was starting to look like a sword, like an extremely sharp and ruthless sword!
Lin Feng, deep in his heart was growing happier and happier. The sword Qi in his body and the atmosphere was also becoming more and more vigorous. However at the same time, Qiu Yuan Hao was growing more and more concerned, a look of fear was covering his face.
The whole atmosphere was being consumed by the pressure of the sword force and it felt like the sword was trying to consume him and bathe in his blood. He could only panic, he could sense that Lin Feng was a threat to his life and at any moment his life could end.
Lin Feng could really tear through his Golden Body Spirit with such a terrifying sword force.
"I shouldn't wait any longer, I should retreat." thought Qiu Yuan Hao. His confidence had been crushed by that enormous sword Qi and terrifying sword force. Besides, Lin Feng's force was showing no signs of decreasing, instead it was still growing stronger. He was scared to approach Lin Feng because he feared that he wouldn't be able to come out of the encounter with all of his body parts.
Qiu Yuan Hao would have never thought that he would end up in such a situation facing a nobody in Yangzhou City. He wasn't even famous, he was an unknown. On top of that, his sister had invited him to join the annual tournament, so how could he be so strong? Lin Feng at this moment was looking at him as if he was looking at a street mutt.
Qiu Yuan Hao decided to start releasing his Qi again, he could not accept such humiliation from a nobody. His golden body was surrounded by a radiant golden light and he began releasing his colossal strength. His entire body was emanating a powerful Qi and he was even using an incredible force.
"Invincible Golden Body!"
In an extremely loud shout, Qiu Yuan Hao eventually decided to attack. He coated his fist in his indestructible aura and launched his fist towards Lin Feng.
"BOOM!"
As his fist crashed through the air, the sound of explosions filled the air as if he was shattering the atmosphere which restrained his fist.
"Die"
Lin Feng said that word in a low voice and suddenly, an incredibly powerful sword force emerged out of his body and tore the atmosphere apart, then rushed towards Qiu Yuan Hao's body .
The force of the sword made Qiu Yuan Hao's body distort. Sounds of tearing and ripping could be heard from inside his body. It sounded like his body could be torn apart at any moment.
The sword force which was unleashed was accompanied by an extremely powerful Qi. The sword flashed through the atmosphere cutting everything in its path and an extremely dazzling light filled the air.
The sword struck against Qiu Yuan Hao's chest.
"CRRRAAAACCK!"
Qiu Yuan Hao's body cracked open like an egg as his protective layer shattered into pieces. His spirit was disintegrated. Blood splashed everywhere and Qiu Yuan Hao's body was launched backwards.
It was now clear that he was weaker than Lin Feng. The strong cultivator who had come from the imperial city, same as those who had come before him, had not been able to withstand a single strike carried out by Lin Feng.
At that moment, the crowd was astonished, stunned, stupefied and was staring blankly at Lin Feng.
How terrifyingly strong. That was pure and undeniable strength. No one was able to deny the power that he had just unleashed.
Whether it was a genius or a powerful disciple mattered not, Lin Feng had only needed a single strike to deal with them.
"Phewww…. Duo Ming is the real genius today. He was definitely the hero of the day. Nobody could compete with his strength or defy his wrath. That haughty girl actually thought she was worthy of him, but Duo Ming is someone who is favored by the gods."
The crowd was still staring silently at Lin Feng. He definitely had gained a special esteem and respect within their hearts.
"Na Lan Feng considers herself as above the rest of the world, the strongest, the most beautiful… Surprisingly, she even wants to become a mentor for Duo Ming on the path of cultivation, that brat does not have eyes."
"Qiu Yuan Hao is also extremely arrogant and thinks he is invincible. He humiliated and insulted Duo Ming, called him a little doggy. Now, he can't even withstand a single attack when facing Duo Ming. He is actually the little doggy. He actually thought he could be that arrogant in Duo Ming's City but he was wrong, he better learn his lesson and behave in Yangzhou City."
"Only Duo Ming is a true genius. He has received a blessing from the heavens and the earth. He is the most talented and the most powerful person in Yangzhou City."
Lin Feng couldn't know what the crowd was thinking. He was looking at Qiu Yuan Hao lying on the ground. Lin Feng was expressionless. That was the price to pay for humiliating and despising others for no reason.
Lin Feng turned around and didn't look at Qiu Yuan Hao again. The black holes he was using as eyes then turned towards Lin Qian. On that day, Lin Feng was going to use Lin Qian and wipe away all his past humiliations.
"It looks like you and me are the last ones left. Let's continue." said Lin Feng showing no emotions, which frightened Lin Qian. She did not know what he intended to do.
Her strength was very similar to that of Na Lan Feng. Qiu Yuan Hao had been able to defeat Na Lan Feng with ease.
But the strong and powerful Qiu Yuan Hao had not been able to block Lin Feng's sword which gave Lin Qian the impression that she had no chance to defeat Lin Feng at all.
"Who the hell is that guy? Surprisingly he is so strong…" Lin Qian whispered. On that day, her self confidence had been crushed.
She used to think that she was amazing because she had reached the first Ling Qi layer. She used to think that she could defeat anyone who was before her. She was a true genius and no one else mattered. Her state of mind was the same as that of Na Lan Feng.
Then Qiu Yuan Hao had appeared from nowhere and made her understand that even though she had reached the first Ling Qi layer, there were many others who were still stronger than her and much more talented.
But at the moment when she had thought that Qiu Yuan Hao was incredibly strong, Lin Feng had cut him down with a single sword strike. This had made her feel extremely inferior.
"I think it's useless to continue after these events." said Lin Qian sounding cold and detached. Even though her self confidence had been crushed, she still didn't want to show it.. She didn't want to admit that she wanted to surrender.
Lin Feng's pitch black eyes looked like they were smiling. Even at that point, Lin Qian was unwilling to stop acting high and mighty.
Moonlight Feather Agility. Lin Feng's body vanished without trace.
"Lin Qian, step back!" said someone shouting extremely loudly. Lin Ba Dao was frightened and didn't want Lin Feng to attack Lin Qian. He had been paying attention all along. When he saw Lin Feng's move, he immediately warned Lin Qian. At the same time, his body transformed into a whirlwind breaking through the air and moving straight towards the fighting stage.
Lin Qian was also aware of the danger and she immediately released her Universal Ice and Fire spirit. Both Ice and fire was coming out of her hands and she threw herself towards Lin Feng whom had appeared in front of her.
"BOOOM!"
Lin Feng blocked the attack, the ice had melted and the fire was extinguished. Immediately after, his body shot towards Lin Qian. He would show no mercy at all, a single sword strike.
Lin Feng thrust his sword at Lin Qian.
"Let's see if you dare!" shouted Lin Ba Dao while trying to intervene. A scorching fire was unleashed from the palm of his hand and moved to block Lin Feng's sword.
"BOOOM!"
The fire was unimaginably powerful and had weakened the power of the sword which was about to crash into Lin Qian's body but the force of the sword still struck her and sent her flying towards the edge of the fighting stage, she was alive but gravely injured.
"How dare you violate the rules of the annual tournament like that?" Lin Feng shouted and then added: "Because you are worthless, you need to make a spectacle of yourself and need the help of the older generation to back you up, what a disgrace. The Lin Clan has finally shown its true colors. How shameless!!"
Na Lan Xiong remained silent. That whole tournament had deviated too much from what he had planned. Since it was this way, he felt like everything right now was meaningless. Lin Feng had injured his daughter, Na Lan Feng, could Na Lan Xiong have mercy on Lin Feng?
"How audacious. Who do you think you are, to be that arrogant?"
Lin Ba Dao saw that Na Lan Xiong remained silent, he didn't hesitate at all and tried to slap Lin Feng's silver mask.
Lin Feng didn't try to avoid the attack. His silver mask directly fell down onto the ground and his real face appeared.
"It's you…"
"It's you…"
Lin Ba Dao and Lin Qian said these words at the same time. When they saw Lin Feng's real face, they were stupefied. They felt like a blizzard was spreading through their veins and an icy cold chill ran down their spines.
At the same time, all the members of the Lin Clan in the crowd were stupefied when they saw Lin Feng's real face. That insanely strong and powerful young man surprisingly is a member of the Lin Clan… or actually a former member of the Lin Clan who had been expelled for apparently being weak!!!

"It's him. No wonder… no wonder that he would dare attack me. I sent troops, but he killed them all, now I am next." Na Lan Feng was extremely surprised. She was shaking from fear as she had sent a large number of people to kill him but he had killed them all, leaving no survivors.
When she remembered what had happened at the Whistle Wind Restaurant, Na Lan Feng had a bitter feeling in her heart. What had given her the right to act towards Lin Feng over such petty problems? She was regretting all of her actions to this point. She had created a terrible enemy for herself and her clan.
When the crowd saw the expression that the Lin Clan members had, they were surprised. They were confused and were wondering who the mysterious person under the mask was. Who was that guy who made the Lin Clan members so shocked?
"Impossible, how did you become this strong?" Lin Qian couldn't believe what she had witnessed, all that strength that he had displayed. An insanely strong and powerful young man, he was a genius. She would have never considered that he could have strength to fight her, she used to think he was a piece of trash. The feeling she had at this moment was unbearable, if he was really trash then what was she?
"There's no doubt. Your eyes are correct. I am Lin Feng, the one that you all despise so much, also known as the "piece of trash" within the Lin Clan."
Lin Feng sounded indifferent. His simple answer made the hearts of the Lin Clan members extremely heavy. This young man should have been the glory and pride of the Lin Clan, with him by their side, their future would have been glorious. They should have hailed him as a hero but instead they had ridiculed him and expelled him from the clan. What complete foolishness they all had, they did not deserve such a genius.
The crowd was stirring and growing restless. The Lin Clan had abandoned Lin Feng. The rumors said it was a piece of trash who almost died against Lin Hong. Everybody in the Lin Clan despised him. Could this terrifying young man really have needed help from his father against someone so much weaker than himself? The rumors were beginning to sound more and more untrue.
What had happened on the stage was shocking. Nobody would have thought Qiu Yuan Hao would appear. They had discovered a genius, but that genius was the one known as a piece of trash according to rumors from the Lin Clan.
"No wonder that he was wearing that silver mask!"
Members of the audience slowly started to understand the chain of events that had occurred and why this mysterious young man had no background.
"Lin Qian, people as arrogant as you are very rare. You think that you stand at the top of the world, looking down on others. But it is only possible for you to be that way within the Lin Clan, that's all. Never say that you are a genius because all you are is a foolish little girl. Lin Ba Dao, you are a weak shell of a man compared to my father, you will never be as strong as him. But you acted in collusion with the Honorable Elder to overtake the power and make my father abdicate. On top of that, you wanted to expel him from the clan. You believe in Lin Qian's power more than anything, thinking that she will someday be the hope for the clan"
"But now, everybody can see that Lin Qian cannot compete with me. She's a worthless little girl who can only run her mouth. Don't you feel stupid? Don't you think you are laughable? Are you not ashamed of yourselves? Don't you regret what you did? Of course, I understand that you are not going to admit it even if you do regret what you did. However, today is only the beginning. Today I have only proved how stupid, foolish and shameless you all truly are. Your words, your faces… you are all filthy. Someday I will return with my Father and we will take justice."
Suddenly, Lin Feng had stopped being silent. Every single sentence he had said had penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Lin Clan members. It moved them and shocked them.
Lin Feng was right. Every member of the Lin Clan had dared despise Lin Hai and wanted Lin Ba Dao to become the head of the Lin Clan. It wasn't because Lin Ba Dao was strong though because Lin Ba Dao wasn't even in the same league as Lin Hai. All of this was because of Lin Qian and her talent. They all looked at her as if she was a deity. They had thought that Lin Qian had limitless power. They had thought that she could make the Lin Clan rise up and that they would all benefit in the future.
But they would have never thought that their beloved and cherished Lin Qian could be surpassed by someone else, especially by another genius who had been expelled from the clan. The most bitter thing was that he was the son of the former head of the clan…
That was the beginning, nothing more. Lin Feng would become much stronger. He had huge potential and limitless talent. Would Lin Qian ever be able to catch up to him?
Why had a genius like him been expelled from the Lin Clan? Why had nobody acknowledged him when he defeated Lin Hong? Why had nobody given him the chance to prove them wrong? Why had they continued to think that Lin Qian was their only hope and raised her above him in every possible way? It wasn't until this moment that the Lin Clan truly understood the grave mistake that they had made. They had treated a hero, such a rare genius with nothing but disdain, they had brought the hatred of him and his father down upon themselves. Had any of them truly been thinking of the clan?
Regret? Of course, the Lin Clan members regretted everything. They knew that nothing could ever turn back time before they had made such mistakes. They had made a big mistake by hurting a genius of Yangzhou City. Even an extremely strong cultivator who had come from the Imperial City wasn't a match for a single strike from Lin Feng.
"You animal, shut the hell up!" shouted Lin Ba Dao furiously because he couldn't bear hearing Lin Feng's words anymore.
"Lin Ba Dao, you are a worthless clan member. Using my father's uncle to overtake his power. Your goal was to create confusion within the Lin Clan. You never cared about our family ties, about the same blood flowing in our veins. From the bottom of your heart, all you ever wanted was kill my father and me. Lin Ba Dao, you are not even worth being called an animal yourself, you are nothing but a worm. I am ashamed to think that we share the same blood. Even if I am not part of the Lin Clan anymore, knowing that we share the same blood will always be a disgrace to me. Even if no one ever finds out we share the same blood, knowing this fact makes me sick."
Every single word Lin Feng had said was like a sharp knife stabbing Lin Ba Dao's heart.
Lin Feng was usually a quiet person, he would never spend long times speaking. He wasn't an expert when it came to the expression of his feelings and emotions… but who could ever understand him, he had already lived another life?
Lin Ba Dao's heart was pounding furiously. He could never forgive Lin Feng. He had no regret and could only feel the hatred inside himself.
"Head of the Na Lan Clan. Please don't blame me for interfering in this match." said Lin Ba Dao while looking at Na Lan Xiong.
"These are your clan's internal affairs. I obviously have no right to intervene." replied Na Lan Xiong in an indifferent tone.
When he saw them, Lin Feng smiled coldly. He had humiliated and injured Na Lan Feng. Na Lan Xiong already hated him bitterly. But Lin Ba Dao was still scared to be beaten by Na Lan Xiong because he had broken the rules of the tournament.
"In my eyes, this annual tournament is a big façade. You only want the Na Lan Clan members to win. You can't stand losing to anyone else. I don't want to participate in these kind of stupid events again. It's clear that if a genius injures a member of your clan, you will later send people to attack them by surprise. The Na Lan Clan is a huge joke. Truly shameless."
Lin Feng's black eyes looked ice cold. People were still shocked by Lin Feng's aura. There was no one that did not have their eyes fixed on Lin Feng after the power he had shown.
"Lin Qian, didn't you want to kill me? So now, I will take your life."
Lin Feng said that while laughing evilly. He started walking towards Lin Qian. Lin Ba Dao was shaking in anger. He was in front of Lin Qian obstructing the way.
"DIE!" shouted Lin Feng demonically. He unsheathed his long sword from his back and moved it in Lin Qian's direction. Thunderous roars spread throughout the atmosphere.
"Do you think you even have a chance?" Lin Ba Dao shouted while looking at Lin Feng who had unsheathed his sword. A strong Qi filled the atmosphere and thunderous roars filled the air.
"Moonlight Feather Agility."
Lin Feng suddenly vanished but didn't move towards Lin Ba Dao and Lin Qian, he rather moved to a more distant place.
"Oh NO!."
Na Lan Xiong turned pale with fright. He stood up. He raised his head and saw Lin Feng above Na Lan Feng's head as if he was falling from the sky. Lin Feng's target was Na Lan Feng!!
Na Lan Feng also found out that she was Lin Feng's target and was filled with shock. She saw his eyes filled with darkness moving closer… she attacked with a Divine Punch, but Lin Feng could use his soft sword with extreme speed. Na Lan Feng's fist shadow vanished and Lin Feng's cold sword was pressed against in Na Lan Feng's throat.
"How dare you!?" shouted Na Lan Xiong short before arriving near Lin Feng.
"One more step and I will kill her" said Lin Feng in an ice cold tone. He looked expressionless. Nobody had any doubt when it came to Lin Feng. If Nan Lan Xiong made one more step, Lin Feng would probably kill Na Lan Feng.
Na Lan Feng was looking at Lin Feng's darkness filled eyes. She had never been in such a situation. In Lin Feng's black eyes, she was just a worthless little brat. He had taken her as a hostage very easily as if she truly had no strength. At that moment, Na Lan Feng obviously understood that Lin Feng had taken her as a hostage.
The crowd was looking at Lin Feng while remaining speechless. That remarkable young man who seemed to be blessed by the god was also extremely reckless and ambitious.
Everybody thought he was insane and he surprisingly dared humiliate every clan again and again. The crowd could only stand there in silence as they watched these events.
Maybe when they had seen Lin Feng appear for the first time when he had joined the tournament, they already had the feeling that things were not going to go as planned. Even the events with Qiu Yuan Hao were unexpected, Lin Feng however had been insulting all of the powerful clans from the moment he first appeared. He had been offending everyone because of something that happened before the tournament. Na Lan Feng had made a mistake before and it seemed like Lin Feng had already planned to use her to escape.
This was a ruthless and insane young man. Only somebody as strong as Lin Feng could be so reckless with his actions. Only someone as insane as Lin Feng could have planned this from the start.
His words were mysterious and his actions were insane. He had drawn the attention of the entire crowd.
When Lin Ba Dao wanted to take his revenge, Lin Feng had pleasantly surprised the entire crowd with his words, including Na Lan Xiong.
Lin Ba Dao and Na Lan Xiong were helpless in front of Lin Feng, who was holding Na Lan Feng as a hostage. They looked like monkeys who were dancing to his tune.
Lin Feng was like a fierce tiger, he had completely captured his prey!

Chapter 54: Chi Xue Cavalry
Absolute control. Lin Feng was in absolute control.
Lin Feng was using his Celestial Spirit and that moment he was able to see everything extremely clearly as if he was looking down on the world frozen in time..
The moment when he had released his Celestial Spirit, his brain had started operating at an incredible speed and could solve even the most challenging problems. Everything that was happening around him was instantly processed by his brain and nothing was escaping his attention.
Every single word Lin Feng had said fascinated the crowd and drew their attention. Na Lan Xiong and Lin Ba Dao were furious at this turn of events. At the moment when Lin Feng had threatened to kill Lin Qian, he hadn't killed her and instead had taken Na Lan Feng as a hostage.
The most fascinating thing was that even though Lin Feng's brain was operating at an incredibly terrifying speed, he remained calm and level headed.
Lin Feng sighed, his Celestial Spirit had completely changed him as if he had transformed into something no longer human. His spirit enhanced all of his skills and abilities. Besides, that was also only the first layer of the Celestial Spirit. There was also the second layer which could be released used at any time, his Book Spirit.
"Let her go." Na Lan Xiong said with a voice filled with killing intent.
"Let her go? Is that even possible?" said Lin Feng while smiling evilly in his heart. As before, his face was expressionless which made him look exceptionally ruthless.
"I can guarantee that if anyone tries to get near me or tries to attack me, I swear to you all that the first one to die will not be me."
Lin Feng had said these ruthless words with almost no change in his expression, showing no fear. His words felt like a slap in the face. Na Lan Xiong could not help but twist his face in anger.
"Let's go." Lin Feng's soft sword slightly moved. In a flash, a thread of blood appeared on Na Lan Feng's throat even though the soft sword had only slightly pressed on her throat. Na Lan Feng was terrified when she felt a sharp burst of pain. Lin Feng's pitch black eyes made her especially terrified. She didn't believe that Lin Feng would let her go easily once they escaped. His eyes look inhumane and heartless, there were not the eyes of a man but that of a demon. She may truly die at his hands.
Na Lan Feng obeyed Lin Feng and started walking towards the exit.
"Remember my words." said Lin Feng while looking at Lin Ba Dao who was very close to him at this moment. Lin Feng once again pressed his sword against Na Lan Feng's throat and another trace of blood appeared.
"Step back." shouted Na Lan Xiong at Lin Ba Dao who was standing at a strategic point. He could see that Lin Ba Dao was still planning to attack Lin Feng.
Na Lan Xiong's tone made Lin Ba Dao shiver. He hated Na Lan Xiong for standing in his way. He would have never thought that Lin Feng would be so sly and take Na Lan Feng as a hostage. Nobody would dare to confront him, for fear of angering Na Lan Xiong.
"Lin Feng, if I let you off, will you let my daughter go?" asked Na Lan Xiong with a stern tone.
"Are you trying to have me kill her right here and now?" Lin Feng's black eyes just stared at Na Lan Xiong showing no emotion. Na Lan Xiong felt powerless against facing Lin Feng. He didn't dare do anything because in Lin Feng's eyes was pure darkness which made him look incredibly evil. He was scared that Lin Feng would be angered and kill Na Lan Feng.
They didn't talk much longer. Lin Feng and Na Lan Feng gradually disappeared into the horizon. Even if Na Lan Xiong couldn't do anything, he was still praying that nothing tragic would happen to Na Lan Feng.
Finally, the crowd saw Lin Feng's silhouette disappear into the distance. They could not help but sigh a breath of relief at seeing him leave. They had felt like this was all a chaotic dream. They were all exhausted at the events which had come to pass. Lin Feng had done so many astonishing things. Everyone had more than enough excitement for one day.
"Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng."
"Lin Feng."
In every corner of the city, only one name could be heard. The Na Lan Clan, the Gu Clan, even Qiu Yuan Hao and Qiu Lan, all had just one name in their mind and on their tongue: "Lin Feng."
Lin Clan members all seemed to carry a look of regret and deep thought on their faces. Lin Feng was a prodigy who had once belonged to the Lin Clan but when he had revealed his power and become known as a great talent, the glory wasn't attributed to the Lin Clan. Actually, it was the opposite, they were going to suffer from harsh criticism. A talented young man who was once a member of the Lin Clan had been expelled from the Clan for being weak. How could they have been so stupid?
No matter what, after the battles of that day, Lin Feng had already gained an incredible reputation within Yangzhou City.
Very quickly, people in Yangzhou City would all hear the name, Lin Feng. The former piece of trash of the Lin Clan had become a genius who had received the blessing of heaven and earth, however he was stupidly thrown away by the Lin Clan.
Lin Feng obviously didn't think about that and didn't really care. All he wanted was to leave Yangzhou City. He didn't know when he would go back to Yangzhou City. He only knew that when he would go back there, people would respect him and acknowledge his power. There would be nobody who would dare disrespect or despise him. He wouldn't need to rely on a hostage next time. He would come and go freely as he pleased.
Ten days later, Lin Feng had arrived at the Yun Hai Sect on Qian Li Xue. gazing at the mountains where the Precipice of the Abyss was situated. He could not help but remember fond memories.
The path of cultivation was like a mountain which you continue climb and then one day, you can look down at creation from the top of the world.
Even though Lin Feng had shown outstanding talent in Yangzhou City, he wasn't the least bit conceited. He only knew that he had made some progress on the path of cultivation, but the world was big and the path was long.
He didn't know exactly how vast the Continent of the Nine Clouds was or how powerful the people were. There was no reason to be arrogant when he truly knew so little. There were many geniuses in the continent, for example, that man who accompanied Lin Qian who had a legendary roc spirit. He was so young and much stronger than Lin Feng. He already had the power to confront Yun Hai Sect Elder. He dared come to the Yun Hai Sect and demand respect.
"When I get back to the pavilion, the first thing I should is choose new techniques of higher difficulty and take the exam to become an elite disciple. Joining the Elite Disciples will enable me to be a real Yun Hai Sect disciple and I'll be able to participate in the internal affairs of the sect. At the moment, I can't do anything as an Ordinary Disciple."
Lin Feng was thinking about what he was going to do and it was already clear to him what he had to do next.
At that moment, he could hear the thunderous hooves of horses in the distance, the ground was shaking.
Lin Feng was surprised. He immediately turned around and saw a cloud of dust rise into the air. Armored horses were galloping at full speed.
"Chi Xue!" Lin Feng was stupefied. Those armored horses were the color of blood. Everyone knew of these horses, it was an extremely valuable horse. It was three times faster than his Qian Li Xue and it was extremely expensive.
It was said that a Chi Xue cost a thousand gold coins. It was also said that some special troops had Chi Xue horses. These troops would most likely be battle hardened soldiers.
But what were these troops doing in a territory which was under the domination of the Yun Hai Sect.
The precious armored horses were approaching at full speed. The people riding them were all soldiers who looked extremely well trained. They were all ferocious and looked extremely dangerous.
"These people can go wherever they want, whenever they want. They are not like the self proclaimed masters and geniuses of Yangzhou City." thought Lin Feng while slightly trembling at the sight of them. These people were extremely strong, deadly warriors. They were real masters to the extent that the weakest ones of the group would have at least reached the ninth Qi layer but the great majority would have broken into the Ling Qi layer long ago.
They are really elite troops… The smell of blood fills the air even miles away.
There were about thirty of them and when they got close to Lin Feng they suddenly slowed down. They raised their heads and looked at the mountain where the Yun Hai Sect was located, this was their destination.
Lin Feng had a strange feeling and his expression changed. He could see a figure which looked familiar, when his eyes focuses he could recognize the person.
"It's her!"
On one of these Chi Xue, there was a girl wearing a red armor, she looked grandiose and heroic. Besides, she was extremely beautiful. Lin Feng would never forget her face.
"Shit." Lin Feng thought while remaining vigilant. He hadn't thought he would meet her there. She was obviously with this group of deadly warriors. That incredibly beautiful girl was a respected and illustrious disciple of the Yun Hai Sect: Liu Fei.
"Is that you?" said Liu Fei coldly. She looked angry while looking at Lin Feng. He had dared to disrespect her before. She hadn't taken her revenge yet, but had not forgotten about it.
Lin Feng was cursing in his mind. The group that was with her, they were all much stronger than the group he killed in Yangzhou City. They looked like battle hardened warriors. If they wanted to fight, Lin Feng would be unable to compete with them. That group was so much stronger than him. He was in a desperate situation as they were both faster and stronger than him, he did not want to fight.
"Fei Fei, you have a problem with that guy?" said a young man next to Liu Fei while looking at Lin Feng. Because Liu Fei looked angry, that guy had also started to show anger.
"No problem, he's one of my fellow disciples of the Yun Hai Sect. We recognized each other."
That was unexpected. Liu Fei had shook her head and said that indifferently. Then, she didn't look at him again and continued.
"Shall we go inside." said Liu Fei and then they left while heading towards the Yun Hai Sect. The young man next to Liu Fei glanced at Lin Feng with slight killing intent in his eyes.
Lin Feng frowned. He didn't understand what was going on. As far as he could remember, Liu Fei was rude and cruel, why would she let him go?

Here is my regular release. I have now changed the schedule, releases will come tuesday instead of Monday. The main reason, because you all keep me up all weekend and I need my beauty sleep.
If you ever make me fall asleep with make up on again. I will not be happy, my skin looks blotchy now!!
Enjoy xoxox I will probably release the remaining two chapter today!
"Forget it." Lin Feng didn't want to think too much about it. It looked like her status was much higher amongst those soldiers than he had thought. Their power was above his right now.
"I am not extremely strong and I do not have any troops to support me." thought Lin Feng while looking at the group from behind. Lin Feng was determined to do his best once he got back to the Yun Hai Sect and join the elite disciples.
Lin Feng rode his horse towards the mountain. Two guards were standing there, their heads dropped to the ground and they did not look at him as he passed. These were the same guards he had met the first time, they had now learnt their lesson and had been humbled.
As before, the Yun Hai Sect's atmosphere was filled with the feeling of power borrowed from heaven and earth. It was very inspiring and motivated Lin Feng even more to increase his strength. Especially since every year, there was the exam to become an elite disciple. The strongest ordinary disciples could join and possibly enter the Elite Disciples, which meant they could become real Yun Hai Sect disciples.
Besides, it was also said that the top elite disciples could directly sit an exam and if they passed they would be able to join the Core Disciples of the Yun Hai Sect which made them the foundation of the sect's power.
The Yun Hai Sect had a formidable influence in the Xue Yue Country. While they were not the strongest sect, they were still could not be easily trifled with. Those core disciples were considered the pride and glory of the sect. Even in cities outside of their territory, a Core Disciple of the Yun Hai Sect would be treated with respect and wherever he went. They were supported by the sect itself.
It was also the case within clans. For example in the Lin Clan, the Honorable Elder or Lin Ba Dao also regarded Core Disciples of a Sect with respect. In the Lin Clan, they wanted Lin Ba Dao to be the Head of the Clan because they had hoped that Lin Qian could become a Core Disciple of the Hao Yue Sect. This would bring them great honor and greatly rise their status within the country. If Lin Qian progressed, she could even become a Elder in the Hao Yue Sect which would make the Lin Clan extremely influential.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng who everyone was sure would become an outstanding figure in the future, wasn't a member of the Lin Clan anymore and there was still regret remaining over the events.
When he arrived in the Yun Hai Sect, Lin Feng first decided to wash the dirt from his body as he had travelled for 10 days. He then put on a clean set of Yun Hai Sect disciple robes. It was now time for him to head to the Xing Chen Pavilion.
He had now broken through to the Ling Qi layer. He needed a more advanced agility technique and a higher level martial skill. Only then, he would be to fully unleash his power during a battle.
"Protector Bei." Lin Feng saw the old man who had the same expression as he always had at the entrance of the Xing Chen Pavilion. He looked like he was staring blankly into the horizon.
But Lin Feng was extremely happy to know that old man was a protector of the sect and when needed he would become extremely energetic and powerful. Lin Feng knew that the old man sitting in front of the Xing Chen Pavilion could look sluggish but that it was only one aspect of his personality. However, if Lin Feng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would hardly believe that the old man could actually be so powerful.
Protector Bei's expression suddenly changed, he raised his head and looked at Lin Feng with sparkling eyes. He then smiled, which was extremely rare, and said: "Oh, you have finally come back."
"Yes, I came to find a new Agility Technique to practice." said Lin Feng while smiling and nodding.
"Go to the first floor. Take your time." replied Protector Bei.
"Thank you, Protector Bei, thank you for your help and sorry to bother you." Lin Feng's goal was to go to the first floor and gain advanced skills. According to the rules of the Yun Hai Sect, only those who had reached the Ling Qi layer or those who were Elite Disciples could go to the first floor. The disciples who had reached the Ling Qi layer but not yet joined the Elite Disciples would have a limited time when selecting skills, they could not take their time. They would also not have access to the second floor without becoming an elite disciple. There was an oil lamp which was lit when they entered the room and when that oil lamp went out, they would have to leave. During that short timeframe, they had to find suitable agility techniques and martial skills for themselves.
The time these oil lamps stayed on was normally not enough time to find suitable agility techniques and martial skills. There were a myriad of martial skills and agility techniques in the Xing Chen Pavilion. It was very hard to find something suitable for one's self in a limited time as there was just such a large number. But rules are rules. Nobody dared violate the rules of the sect. Many Yun Hai Sect disciples wanted to become Elite Disciples to be able to fully access the skills and agility techniques on this floor and the second floor of the Xing Chen Pavilion. That way, they would be able to greatly improve their abilities and find the best techniques for their fighting styles.
"No need to thank me or be sorry for bothering me. Just don't go to the second floor. You can stay as long as you wish on the ground floor and first floor." said the old man indifferently.
Lin Feng was astonished, stupefied, stunned. Right after, he had a huge smile on his face. Lin Feng definitely was very lucky to have the protector watching over him.
"Thank you very much, thank you, thank you esteemed protector."
Lin Feng became a bit more familiar at that moment when talking to the old man. He then entered the Xing Chen Pavilion and immediately after moved towards the stairs leading to the first floor.
"Little fellow, I'm just worried that your current level of cultivation wouldn't match those skills and techniques on the higher floors, otherwise I would have told you to go to the third floor." thought Protector Bei while looking at Lin Feng's silhouette and then shaking his head and smiling. He then whispered: "The Precipice of Zhangu… eight drums… You have changed the history of the Yun Hai Sect. You will always be able to enter my humble Xing Chen Pavilion as you please."
Protector Bei had a great impression of Lin Feng but the other disciples of the Yun Hai Sect didn't think that way. When they saw Lin Feng, who was wearing the robes of the ordinary disciples and immediately went up to the first floor of the Xing Chen Pavilion, many people were stupefied.
"Who's that guy? How can he go past the ground floor of the pavilion?"
"I don't know but he's clearly an ordinary disciple… and he is not one of the disciple known for breaking into the Ling Qi layer."
Many people were envious and jealous. Not only could higher level agility techniques enable cultivators to greatly increase their speed and benefit cultivation but it also enabled them to greatly increase their overall fighting strength. It enabled them to use movements of a higher difficulty. In a battle, it could enable them to have a clear advantage in speed over their opponent. Who wouldn't want that?
All the Agility Techniques and martial skills were divided into different levels: Sky level, Earth level, Xuan level, Yellow level… These skills and agility techniques were spread over four levels in the Xing Chen Pavilion. On the ground floor of the pavilion were yellow level skills and agility techniques, on the first floor were skills and agility techniques of the Xuan level and were extremely powerful.
The first floor of the Xing Chen Pavilion was much more quiet than the ground floor. There were very few people on the first floor. They were all quietly looking for amazing skills and techniques suitable for themselves.
At that moment, many people saw Lin Feng go upstairs and looked at him with disdain.
"There are less martial skills and agility techniques than on the ground floor." Lin Feng thought while looking at all the skills on the first floor. No matter what, these skills and agility techniques were extremely valuable. They were obviously very hard to find, therefore there were less skills on the first floor than on the ground floor.
"Let's find an agility technique." thought Lin Feng while looking at all the books and then immediately started to read them and analyze the skills.
"Purity Technique, Xuan level, absorbs the energy of the power of heaven and earth to purify the body, regulates body functions and provides greater control over the body, practice to the highest level and your body will be faster, stronger and controlled with ease."
"Please note that this skill is suitable for any spirit. It cannot be practiced very quickly as the muscles and vessels must first become used to the change within the body. Improving too quickly would have the opposite effects and the body would become exhausted and possibly damaged."
That was one of the techniques. There was a small note written on that book enabling those of the younger generations to understand it in more detail.
"I guess I will take this one…" said Lin Feng in a low voice. As if he hadn't seen the warning written by hand in the book, Lin Feng immediately chose that technique.
Lin Feng didn't even look at the other techniques. He knew what he was doing.
Everything about that Purity Agility Technique looked useless but Lin Feng thought it was great.
"Let's find some martial skills now." thought Lin Feng while moving towards to the skill shelves.
"Dead Forest."
"Scorching Apocalypse."
"Deadly Frost."
Lin Feng was looking at all these skills but found none of them satisfying.
"Eight Strikes of Desolation. Xuan level. Eight extremely powerful strikes which cover the heavens and are almost impossible to dodge.
This skill drew Lin Feng's attention.
"I will also take this one" Lin Feng took that book but didn't leave, he needed another martial skill, it had been too long since he had practiced any new martial skills. So he needed to increase his battle power quickly.
After a while, Lin Feng found a sword skill which was extremely powerful and of the Xuan level but it required a sword spirit to perfectly comprehend. It also required a perfect understanding of sword force. If someone did not understand the world and the elemental forces within, it would be impossible to comprehend this skill. It was called Sword of Nirvana.
Many disciples had avoided this skill as the conditions to learn it were incredibly harsh. They would not only need to understand sword force, but the world around them and other elemental forces. They would need a great deal of comprehension.
"Lucky, I have found another." Lin Feng was excited. It seemed like the Sword of Nirvana had been prepared especially for him. Requiring understanding of sword force and also requiring a perfect understanding of the world and the forces contained within. He could gain a perfect understanding of the world and forces within by using his spirit. It was a perfect skill for him.
This skill was made for him.
The requirement of having a sword spirit in order to learn the skill was a joke. Was someone who had a sword spirit more knowledgeable about swords than Lin Feng?

"Let me have a look at that skill book." suddenly said a voice coming from the left.
Lin Feng turned around and saw two young disciples. There was a young man who looked extremely evil while staring at the other disciple. Besides, his manner of speaking sounded like he was giving the other disciple an order.
That other young disciple was called Chen Chen. Lin Feng had already seen him before. He was an ordinary disciple, just like Lin Feng. However, he was much more famous than Lin Feng.
"This skill is mine." said Chen Chen while coldly staring at the evil looking disciple. It wasn't rare to see elite disciples despise ordinary disciples and this was clearly a case of an elite disciple trying to bully Chen Chen.
"How insolent, for an ordinary disciple to dare refuse my request!" shouted the young man furiously while releasing an extremely strong Qi from his body.
"Pfff, Li Lin, don't think that I don't know who you are. You are one of the weakest elite disciples. You only dare show off in front of us ordinary disciples. This year at the upcoming elite disciple exam, I, Chen Chen, will remove that smug head from your body. I will make your head roll from the fighting stage into the dirt where you belong." said Chen Chen while emanating killing intent.
"Li Lin, you are an ordinary little boy, that's all you are. Haha. You're a joke."
All those who were on the second floor of the Xing Chen Pavilion were looking at them and laughing. Chen Chen was right, Li Lin was an elite disciple but he was extremely weak in comparison with the other disciples of the sect. In order not to feel inferior in front of other people, he regularly went and bullied ordinary disciples trying to use his authority and power to gain a feeling of superiority. He hadn't thought that today he would meet this kind of stubborn ordinary disciple who would actually refuse and insult him.
Chen Chen was one of the top ranking ordinary disciples within the Sect. He had a flame spirit. All of his fire based skills were extremely powerful and he could gain insights into fire based techniques much quicker than other disciples. Nobody could compete with him. He was extremely strong. His main objective was to participate in the elite disciple exam of the Yun Hai Sect and become an elite disciple where he could gain extra resources for cultivation.
Obviously, when Li Lin heard what Chen Chen said, he became furious. He had already heard Chen Chen's name and knew exactly how powerful he was. It really was his bad luck that he chose to bully the wrong disciple.
"There's misunderstanding. Alright, I'm not looking at that skill." said Li Lin whose facial expression had completely changed. He then retreated away from Chen Chen.
Laughter could be heard amongst all of the disciples who were present on the second floor. They clearly thought that that Li Lin was a good for nothing elite disciple. He had just been terrified by an ordinary disciple. To have an elite disciple back down from an ordinary disciple was a humiliation in itself.
"What are you laughing at?! Laugh again and I will cripple your cultivation!"
Li Lin regretted his previous actions because he had humiliated himself in the end. He had the feeling that everyone was laughing at him, he needed to find someone so he could have relief from his fury, so his threat was directed towards Lin Feng.
He couldn't afford to provoke Chen Chen more than he already had but he did have the abilities required to provoke other ordinary disciple?
Lin Feng was about to leave the Pavilion, he was stupefied at the threat he had received. He did not even laugh and had just continued with what he was originally there for. Did he laugh without realizing?
In fact, from the beginning to the end, he had remained expressionless. He had been annoyed by the confrontation that was happening but had remained expressionless. That guy didn't dare provoke the others, did that give him the right to treat Lin Feng as a punching bag?
"Obviously. Fear the strong and bully the weak." thought Lin Feng with disdain. He was scared of Chen Chen and couldn't continue to bully him so he had come to bully Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng wasn't in the mood to deal with this special kind of childishness. He had chosen his agility technique and martial skills and was satisfied with them. It wasn't necessary for him to stay in the Pavilion anymore so he decided to go downstairs.
Lin Feng started walking in the direction of the exit.
"STOP! You worthless ordinary disciple! How dare you ignore me!" said Li Lin looking cruel. He had now run in front of Lin Feng to prevent him from leaving.
Lin Feng smiled coldly. That guy obviously just wanted to show off in front of the others as he had just lost face.
"Worthless ordinary disciple? It looks like you're the one who just got humiliated by an ordinary disciple."
Lin Feng had said that in a joking tone. It clearly showed that Li Lin really had no sense of shame.
"You want to die."
"Indeed, you're right." said Lin Feng coldly before adding: "Li Lin, is that your name? I don't have time to waste on you. Let's meet at the Stormy Gorge in the Life and Death Arena before the elite disciple exam.
When Lin Feng said these words, everybody around laughed again. Lin Feng was surprisingly challenging Li Lin as well, but that time with their life at stake. Could Li Lin reject the challenge after being humiliated to such an extent?
"Interesting." murmured some of the disciples watching from the sidelines. Li Lin looked perplexed. He didn't know what to think about what had just happened. Lin Feng had surprisingly challenged him to a fight to the death, knowing full well that elite disciples could kill ordinary disciples in the gorge. Would he be strong enough?
"Alright, I'll wait for you there." Li Lin said. Li Lin was caught between a rock and a hard place. Chen Chen knew that too. If he had been scared of an ordinary disciple again, he would have had to hide himself forever from all other disciples in the Sect. He couldn't afford to lose face again.
Li Lin turned around and immediately left.
Lin Feng smiled inside. He didn't look at his opponent. If he wasn't able to defeat the weakest elite disciple of the Sect, it would mean he hasn't made any progress and has actually stepped backwards on the path of cultivation. He had already battled an elite disciple when he was only at the eighth Qi layer.
"Hehe, what's your name? To be able to come to this floor, it means that you've already broken through to the Ling Qi layer. How come I've never seen you before?" Chen Chen asked. Chen Chen was ranked first from all the ordinary disciples. He knew all of the strongest ordinary disciples by name and had measured their strength against his own. He also knew who had broken through to the Ling Qi layer within the sect and how many ordinary disciples had broken through. He was getting prepared to join the elite disciple exam of the Yun Hai Sect and hoped to become an elite disciple. He made sure to know about everyone who he would be competing against.
But Chen Chen had never seen Lin Feng…
"Lin Feng. I'm not popular so it's normal that you've never seen me." replied Lin Feng while smiling in a friendly way.
"Lin Feng, you mean the rumored piece of trash!?" Chen Chen was stunned. He had never seen him but he had already heard Lin Feng's name many times.
"Haha, it seems like one shouldn't believe rumors. How could a piece of trash have broken through to the Ling Qi layer?" said Chen Chen while smiling and shaking his head. Then, he added: "But even though we are both fellow ordinary disciples, there is still a big gap between you and me. Actually, there's a gigantic gap between you and me, there is nothing comparable. Soon I will become an Elite Disciple, we are not the same."
Lin Feng was a bit surprised. Lin Feng understood what Chen Chen meant. He was referring to the fact that Lin Feng had said to Li Lin that he had been humiliated by another ordinary disciple.
In Chen Chen's eyes, Lin Feng's sentence meant that he was saying that they were on the same level. Chen Chen thought that they had nothing in common. He was of course the strongest and Lin Feng was not strong enough to be his equal.
"It seems like you are very self confident." replied Lin Feng, not losing his temper and still smiling in a friendly way.
"Indeed, at least when I am amongst ordinary disciples. I am the number one ranked ordinary disciple." replied Chen Chen.
"Alright I see. It is said that ordinary disciples need an oil lamp when they are on the first floor and then when it goes off, they must leave. You are indeed very strong, but do you dare exceed that amount of time?" said Lin Feng while laughing.
"You don't need to flatter me. Indeed, all of the ordinary disciples need that oil lamp on the first floor. However, I am an exception. Because of my strength, I am not bound by the rules. Who would dare say otherwise?" said Chen Chen mocking that the rules were only meant for the weak.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng was smiling and seemed to be very interested. "Well, actually, I also can stay as long as I wish on the first floor but I try to follow the sect rules. You are the first ranked ordinary disciple, you are so strong. It's no problem for me to stay here as long as I wish so of course it would be even less of a problem for you right?"
"Are you joking? You plan to stay longer than the time allocated by the oil lamp?" said Chen Chen with a cold smile filled with disdain.
"Can you not see with your own eyes?" said Lin Feng with a meaningful smile on his face. He then stopped paying attention to Chen Chen. He then started looking at another skill. He didn't intend to practice it but looking and learning was a wise thing to do.
"That guy must be crazy. Continuing to stay on the floor…" All the Elite Disciples on the first floor looked at him with interest. They all started to pay attention to the scene that appeared before them. They wanted to see how long he was going to stay.
"Hmph." Chen Chen groaned. Lin Feng had arrived before him so he wasn't in a hurry. Lin Feng's oil lamp would burn out before his and the lie would be exposed.
The time for half a lamp to burn had already passed. Chen Chen was looking at a skill. He was frowning, he didn't have much time left on his lamp.
He looked at Lin Feng and saw that, as before, he was leaning against the bookshelf looking sluggish and still looking at a skill book. He looked like he was absolutely unaware of the time that was passing. He didn't even pay attention to it.
"How long can you keep playing your little game?" Chen Chen wasn't even in the mood to look at skills anymore. He was soon going to be an elite disciple anyway, he would be able to spend as much as he wished on the first floor and could look at as many skills as he wanted. He was watching Lin Feng and waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
But Chen Chen was disappointed. Some time passed again and Lin Feng didn't seem to be reacting at all. It seemed like he had completely lost the notion of time. He just continued to read the skills leisurely.
"Are you not leaving yet?" asked Chen Chen unable to remain calm. He had almost no time left on his oil lamp. If he didn't leave, he would be severely punished by the Sect for breaking the rules.
"I'm not worried, why are you worried? You are the top ranked ordinary disciple of the Yun Hai Sect! You are a genius!" Lin Feng said in an indifferent tone but everybody understood that he was making fun of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen suddenly became furious and said: "You want to die. I'm not staying here with you. When you come out, I hope you can explain everything to me."
After threatening Lin Feng, Chen Chen turned around and left the Xing Chen Pavilion.
"Top ranked ordinary disciple? He is just a fool, nothing more." thought Lin Feng while sneering at him which made Chen Chen who was looking at him even more furious and killing intent had appeared in his eyes.

Chen Chen actually hadn't left the Pavilion. He wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he was waiting at the entrance door.
"You slightly exceeded the time limit. Next time, please pay attention." said Protector Bei while looking at Chen Chen and shaking his head.
"I slightly exceeded the time limit but there's another guy who's been in there for ages, way over the time limit. I want to see what will happen to him." thought Chen Chen waiting for Lin Feng to come down.
Lin Feng didn't make Chen Chen wait for too long. A short time after, he also came down looking relaxed as if there was no problem at all.
"Protector Bei, here are the skills and agility technique that I chose." said Lin Feng while glancing at Chen Chen. Lin Feng handed skill and agility technique books over to the Protector Bei while smiling in a friendly way.
"Purity Technique… It will help you consolidate your agility basics. It is definitely worth learning." said Protector Bei while looking at the agility technique and skills which Lin Feng had chosen. He was nodding with agreement. He then added: "Eight Strikes of Desolation is at the bottom of the Xuan Level skills, yet, it is an extremely powerful skill. It is hard to learn and practice but considering your abilities, it should not be too much of a problem. Concerning the Sword of Nirvana, which is a triple strike attack, everybody can learn it but only a real genius can master it to perfection. People who manage to master it to perfection are really rare. You will have to make great efforts to achieve such a mastery of this skill.
Protector Bei was still looking at the agility technique and skills that Lin Feng had chosen and continued to give his opinion: "If someday by any chance, you manage to carry out these three hits using the Sword of Nirvana at full strength, then don't learn another skill which is at the bottom of the Xuan Level or even an average Xuan Level… Directly move on and learn a high Xuan level skill. However, if you manage to master the skill, you will not have a problem even if it collides with a high level Xuan skill.
Lin Feng was smiling when he heard what the old man was telling him. The gap between the different sub-levels of the Xuan level was colossal but if Lin Feng managed to master that skill, he would still be able to carry out amazingly strong attacks which could match a high level Xuan skill.
At the side of the pavilion, Protector Bei and Lin Feng were talking and laughing cheerfully. The more they talked, the uglier and angrier Chen Chen's face looked. It looked like Lin Feng and Protector Bei were actually friends. No wonder Lin Feng took such liberties.
"He was on the First floor for a long time, more than that allocated within an oil lamp." said Chen Chen interrupting them in the middle of their conversation which made Protector Bei smile. He then turned his head and looked at Chen Chen.
"I know." said Protector Bei calm and unperturbed.
"Since you know that he violated the rules of the Sect, shouldn't he be severely punished?!" Chen Chen hadn't expected Protector Bei to admit it in such a straightforward way while looking like he was feeling completely at ease. He was feeling even more furious.
Protector Bei looked at Chen Chen with a strict look. He shook his head and then said: "I've been here for many, many years. No matter who, elite disciples or even core disciples, have to go through me when they want to enter the Xing Chen Pavilion. What do you think? Are you implying that you are trying to teach me, with my many years of experience, how to do my job?"
Protector Bei was an extraordinary person. The Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect, Nan Gong Ling, showed a lot of respect to him when he saw him. In his eyes, common ordinary disciples were tiny individuals with no power, nothing more. Even if it was the top ranking ordinary disciples, it was still a tiny individual with no power, a nobody who was not worth his time. It would even be a struggle for elite disciples to be considered less than a tiny insignificant power in front of this protector.
Lin Feng was an exception. The first time he had met Lin Feng, he had had an extremely good first impression. He immediately had the impression that Lin Feng was polite and wise beyond his years. Later, he had also found out that Lin Feng was extremely gifted, especially when he had made the eight drums beat. Therefore, he held Lin Feng in the highest of esteem.
What did Chen Chen think? How could he allow himself to interrogate the old man like he had done? How could Protector Bei treat him with esteem?
When Chen Chen heard Protector Bei's words, his face started looking demonic. He then said in an extremely cold way: "Your only job is just to guard the Xing Chen Pavilion. You dare not apply the rules of the Sect. That is a very serious crime against the sect, how dare you."
"Eh…" Lin Feng was speechless and shocked by Chen Chen's words… No wonder he was such an imbecile when it came to cultivation and relied on his spirit to achieve minor results. That guy didn't have the least bit of wisdom in his heart. What did that guy think he was doing when threatening Protector Bei and accusing him of having committed a serious crime? The top ranked ordinary disciple… that guy was living in a dream. He was so used to thinking he was a valuable and noteworthy talent that he had forgotten his place.
Protector Bei looked at Chen Chen in a way which clearly showed how ridiculous he thought Chen Chen was. The old man had worked there for a great many years and had never experienced such a thing. He also never got angry… and then at that moment, an ordinary disciple had dared come to him and interrogate him and then tell him that he had committed a crime.
Protector Bei was shaking his head. He started opening his mouth but looked like he was still thinking about what to say when his facial expression suddenly changed and shouted: "Get lost!"
After saying these two words, an insane strength burst out and crashed onto Chen Chen's body. At that moment, Protector Bei's eyes were filled with a sharp killing light. His body was unleashing an extremely strong Qi.
Chen Chen had just felt the extremely strong power against his body and had ended up kneeling down on the ground shaking from head to toe.
Chen Chen wasn't the only one who was shaking from head to toe with fear, people inside the Xing Chen Pavilion had also been shocked by the loud shout. Some of them had come to see what was happening and saw the protector's body surrounded by such a strong and powerful Qi. They all kept quiet with fear. As it turned out, that old man who looked sluggish was actually as strong or even stronger than the elders within the sect and looked like a powerful deity to the disciples.
The old man's strength was genuinely powerful without question.
It was well known that when breaking through to the Ling Qi layer from the Qi layer, Cultivators acquired a mysterious and profound strength. When breaking through to the Xuan Qi layer from the Ling Qi layer, it was said that the Cultivator's three energies, the Qi, the Shen and the Jing, fused together which enabled the Cultivator to acquire a genuinely pure and immense power.
The Qi inside the body became genuinely pure like the Qi of Heaven and Earth. A tiny bit of that pure power contained an extremely condensed Qi and when it was used in an attack, it could destroy an entire mountain.
Protector Bei's shout had actually released that genuinely pure power. The power that had crashed onto Chen Chen's body wasn't immensely strong because Protector Bei had controlled his power perfectly but it had revealed the fact that he was an extremely strong Cultivator who had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer.
Xuan Qi layer; that was an incomparably strong cultivation level. He could easily become an elder in the Yun Hai Sect.
"I will be taking my leave." said Chen Chen while pale but still looking at Lin Feng with an evil look and added: "Piece of trash… relying on other people's strength… If you join the elite exam, at that moment, I will take good care of you."
When saying those words, Chen Chen turned around and left with his head held high.
Lin Feng shook his head while looking at Chen Chen. Even though that guy was the top ranked ordinary disciple, he was extremely arrogant and thought he was better than others. He didn't know anything else but the small place in which he lived and thought he had seen and knew everything. He really did not understand how large the world was and did not know that hidden dragons lay everywhere.
Protector Bei's strength was immense, he wouldn't even spare a glance at a cultivator like Chen Chen who was ranked at the top of ordinary disciple. Why would he go out of his way to do favors for Lin Feng? If Chen Chen had even the slightest wisdom then he would come to the conclusion that he had met someone he could not offend.
Besides, everything that had happened was all part of Chen Chen attempting to show his dominance over Lin Feng. By attempting to show off, he had humiliated himself several times.
"It's been a long time since I had to do something like this. I am much too old for things such as this" thought Protector Bei. Then he said: "Xue Yue, when I leave, you'll be in charge of the Xing Chen Pavilion."
After he finished talking, his body started shaking and wings of a crane appeared. Then, he flew high up in the air and disappeared.
The crowd was stupefied. They had seen how he had suddenly vanished into the horizon. What a terrifying power. He could even fly. What kind of power was this old man hiding?
That old man could travel over ten kilometers in the blink of an eye. That required an extremely profound power. The crowd had the feeling they were in a dream. The sluggish looking old man who guarded the Xing Chen Pavilion had suddenly shown his real power. At that moment, they hated themselves for not noticing and never asking the old man for advice. They had all ignored him, they had eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai.
Lin Feng was stupefied as well. His heart was pounding in amazement. Protector Bei was a million times stronger than he was. Much stronger than he had originally thought.
A middle aged man entered the Xing Chen Pavilion. That was the one Protector Bei had called before leaving: Xue Yue.
At that moment, on the highest mountain on the Yun Hai Sect, in the room of a temple, a gigantic Qi was filling the atmosphere.
Many people had gathered in that room and it looked like there were debating about something.
"Fei Fei, I will consider this with great attention. You should stop worrying." Said the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect, Nan Gong Ling, while smiling. He was speaking to Liu Fei who was sitting next to him.
Behind Liu Fei were a multitude of people wearing the same attire. They were all wearing noble red armor. They were precisely the people Lin Feng had seen at the foot of the mountain. They were the troops who were riding Chi Xue armored horses.
When she heard Nan Gong Ling's answer, Liu Fei's beautiful eyebrows frowned. Nan Gong Ling hadn't replied happily, in fact it could be seen that he was not happy in the slightest. But Liu Fei could understand him. Letting some of the best disciples of the Yun Hai Sect leave with her was a difficult decision.
Each of the Yun Hai Sect disciples would go on to have children who represented a great future for the Sect. How could Nan Gong Ling abandon any of them easily.
"Uncle Nan Gong Ling, you know that my father is not a selfish person. It is fate and it is for the benefit of the Xue Yue Country. He will definitely let them come back to the Yun Hai Sect. He will treat them well. At that moment, they will all be able to assume a high status and will become pillars of the Sect."
Liu Fei continued her argumentation.
"Your father and I practiced cultivation together, grew up together… We love each other like brothers. If he stayed in the Yun Hai Sect, he could have become the Patriarch of the Sect. How could I, Nan Gong Ling, not know what kind of man he is? The thing is that now, as the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect, everything I do, I must do it considering what is good and bad for the sect first. I cannot selfishly decide things myself."
Nan Gong Ling didn't elaborate more at that moment. He remembered all the things he and Liu Cang Lan used to do together without thinking of the consequences of their actions. They were two geniuses of the Yun Hai Sect. But these days, as the Patriarch of the Sect, he couldn't act irresponsibly anymore.

When Liu Fei heard Nan Gong Ling's speech, she heaved a sigh. Actually, she could understand the difficult position in which Nan Gong Ling found himself. Yet, she was concerned about her father who also had to bear huge responsibilities, she was really trying her best to help him by any means possible.
"Patriarch, Nan Gong Ling, building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is an order of His Majesty. Could you refuse to obey His Majesty's orders?" Said a young man who was next to Liu Fei while staring at Nan Gong Ling.
"When did I say that I wanted to disobey His Majesty's orders?" Nan Gong Ling replied coldly while glancing at the young man. He then said: "Building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is a project which I support wholeheartedly. I have no choice but to let a few outstanding disciples go and practice there.
He paused for a moment and then continued in a cold tone: "Besides, since when did you start to think it was good manners to poke your nose into other people's affairs and make criticisms? A little prince like you… What do you intend to do? Do you want me to call your father, Duan Tian Lang and have him teach you some manners?"
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, elders had to be respected. Nobles also had to be respected which was especially true of those with high status as they were extremely strong. These days, the Duan Clan had become the Imperial Clan because they were extremely strong. The Duan Clan had become the strongest clan in the entire Xue Yue Country. It wasn't just a matter of how much territory was controlled, it was a fact that they were the strongest.
However, the Duan Clan still had to humble themselves to the Sects and act politely when speaking with them. Nan Gong Ling wasn't going to submit himself to a little prince of the Duan Clan. It did not matter to him how strong the Duan Clan was, his sect was not something that could be looked down upon by anyone.
"You… Nan Gong Ling, I will tell my father about this." said the young man coldly while giving a glare filled with evil intentions.
"Tell him whatever you like." replied Nan Gong Ling while looking relaxed and not surprised.
"I heard that little Fei Fei came back." At that moment, a voice came from outside of the room in the temple. It was Protector Bei who had just arrived while striding forward with head high.
"Grandfather Bei!" When Liu Fei saw Protector Bei, she stood up. Protector Bei was actually her father's master.
"Little Fei, how's your father doing?" Protector Bei was looking at Liu Fei with affectionate eyes. The great elders and protectors of the Sect rarely had direct disciples. When they did, they developed deep and strong ties with them which would last a lifetime.
"He's still in Duan Ren City…" said Liu Fei making a wry smile.
"Pheww.." sighed Protector Bei shaking his head and making a wry smile as well.
"Little Fei, what brings you here? If you are looking for disciples then I have an amazing person in mind. You will definitely be happy."
"One person?" said Liu Fei making a wry smile again.
"Didn't your father leave the sect alone in the past? You don't need too many people. It's useless to take too many." said Protector Bei while shaking his head.
"Grandfather, who are you talking about?" Liu Fei's eyes had a glimmer of hope. When she heard the old man, she had the feeling he was talking about somebody extremely important. Could it be….?
"You will know when the right moment comes. Make those guys leave first. After the elite disciple exam of the Yun Hai Sect, I will personally accompany the person to the Imperial City." said Protector Bei while looking at the crowd of troops behind Liu Fei.
"Alright." said Liu Fei while nodding.
In the mountains where he had first met Liu Fei, Lin Feng was sitting in a cave and cultivating. The Qi of heaven and earth looked like a cocoon which was surrounding him as he continued to cultivate. Lin Feng's body was wrapped up in the cocoon-like Qi. That white-colored Qi looked like an extremely dense fog which had almost become solid.
At that moment, a terrifying attractive force emerged out of the deepest parts of Lin Feng's body which enabled the Qi of Heaven and Earth that surrounding his body to penetrate into his dantian.
Inside Lin Feng's body, a powerful milky-white Qi was circulating and looked as if it was boiling. The strong Qi which circulated in and out of Lin Feng's body was extremely pure.
After a long time, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was still uninterruptedly revolving around Lin Feng's body. At that moment, Lin Feng stopped cultivating.
He opened his eyes and had a big smile on his face.
"This Purity Technique has such strange effects on the body… but it definitely helped consolidate my cultivation basics. Now, I am much stronger than before, I can utilize my power much better than before. I can control my breathing much better than before as well."
Lin Feng thought that thanks to his increased breathing abilities, he would be able to endlessly fight. A continuous explosive strength required a great power and of course every fight required control over ones breathing.
Lin Feng stood up, looked at a wall at the entrance of the cave, then thrust his palm forward into the air and whispered: "Eight Strikes of Desolation."
Accompanying his words, a strong and explosive attack crashed into the wall in front of him.
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
"BOOM!."
The entire cave was vibrating. Seven clear and distinct marks could be seen on the wall which Lin Feng had taken as a target.
"As expected, Eight Strikes of Desolation is an extremely strong attack."
Lin Feng was smiling. Eight Strikes of Desolation was one of the lowest skills of the Xuan level. It could have up to eight strikes. If a Cultivator managed to achieve five strikes, that was already extremely strong and proved that he had great talent. If he could manage to go up to six strikes, he was definitely a rare talent… but achieving seven strikes could only be done by a real genius.
Lin Feng wanted to achieve eight strikes. Achieving eight strikes would fill the entire atmosphere with power. However achieving the eighth strike was extremely difficult and only real geniuses could achieve it. It usually required a lot of battle experience to fully comprehend the skill and master it to perfection.
Xuan level skills… were not easy to practice and the higher the level and strength, the more difficult they became.
However, as far as Lin Feng was concerned he could see no problem with practicing. When releasing his dark spirit, it gave him the amazing ability of increased comprehension and understanding. After one day, he had been able to master seven strikes. He just had to practice a bit more and he would be able to master the Eight Strikes of Desolation skill to perfection and achieve all eight strikes when using the skill.
But Lin Feng wasn't satisfied at that moment. Elite Disciples had nothing in common with ordinary disciples and Lin Feng wanted to climb above all others. During the elite disciple exam of the Yun Hai Sect, there could be a real genius within the disciples…Lin Feng didn't know how it was going to be, but the stronger his competition was the better.
Sword of Nirvana would greatly improve his strength in a very short time as well.
The Sword of Nirvana skill was actually a sword skill with three strikes which would grow in strength with the higher mastery of the sword. One strike could mean death, three strikes would mean certain death.
A deadly sword.
A fatal sword.
A lonely sword.
It could annihilate everything that stood in its way, so it had annihilated everything in its path. It had nothing left that was its equal and was therefore lonely.
While reading the Sword of Nirvana skill book, Lin Feng was lost in thought. He looked at the text and the stances while gradually absorbing all of the knowledge. Lin Feng could rapidly understand everything. Lin Feng had started to release his spirit. Lin Feng's world became a world filled with darkness again. The Earth, the Sky, not a single color or light could be seen. There was only darkness surrounding everything. Lin Feng was calm and unperturbed in that world of darkness, nothing could disturb him and he was extremely calm.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and the image of a person appeared in his brain. That person looked like a holy man and didn't stop wielding his long sword. One strike, another strike, repeating the same movement over and over again, he was practicing the Sword of Nirvana. The deadly sword.
After a long time, Lin Feng opened his eyes. The twinkling sword lacerating the air disappeared.
One step, one strike, the deadly sword.
"BOOOM!"
The entire cave was shaking and trembling. The sword had left a large scar in the wall of the cave.
The cave was shaking and trembling more and more, the rocks had been crushed into nothing but dust. Lin Feng was stupefied. Lin Feng had quickly retreated from the cave and not long after, the cave collapsed on itself with a violent rumble.
The first strike was already so deadly. Combined with the Eight strikes of desolation he had completely destroyed the cave. He had only mastered the first strike of the sword of nirvana and the seventh strike of the Eight Strikes of Desolation, yet he had already collapsed a cave. These were indeed powerful skills. Lin Feng recalled his spirit back into his body. He was very excited. Xuan level sills were definitely extremely powerful, as expected. Was the power of all his skills going to be so incredible?
What Lin Feng didn't know was that the first strike was already devastating because he also knew how to control forces. He had unconsciously controlled the sword force at a very advanced level and combined it with his strike.
That deadly sword required a perfect fusion of his sword Qi, mastery of the skill and sword force. These three elements had to be in a perfect symbiotic fusion. Ling Feng's ability to comprehend and use the sword force so freely had made things much easier for him. That is why it wasn't that difficult for him to practice the skill. If it had been someone else, it would have been much more difficult, maybe even impossible to learn the skill in such a short period.
"Who?" Lin Feng had come out from the cave, turned around and looked around him at the mountains where the sun rays shone through. He could see someone walking in the distance. When he recognized the person, Lin Feng felt a sudden urge to take revenge which he suppressed.
"Liu Fei." Lin Feng was surprised. He didn't understand what she was doing there. She had had the opportunity to attack him before and she hadn't seized it. Why?
"Bastard, you took control over my territory. Today, you and me are enemies. You are the only one who has humiliated me to such an extent." Liu Fei was staring at Lin Feng with a deep and bitter hatred for him. Since she was a child, her father had taught her to stand alone and be independent. She had always been like that. She was more of a tomboy and didn't really act like a girl in the slightest. Besides, she had gone through a lot of hardships which made her even more proud and ambitious.
But Liu Fei hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so shameless, he was a voyeur and had pounced naked onto her only to be beaten back and then when they next fought he had dared to say he wasn't interested in her anymore only because he had made great progress with his cultivation. Then, he had dared to steal her precious and beloved territory. How could she not be angry?
"Now, I have broken through to the Ling Qi layer, we will see if you still dare act so insolent towards me." Liu Fei thought tyrannically.

"I have already defeated you three times. Apologize to me and I might show mercy and let you off." Liu Fei said in an ice cold tone.
"Defeated three times? Show mercy?" Lin Feng laughed, shook his head and said: "Just leave already before it becomes too embarrassing for you to stay."
Liu Fei and Lin Feng had already met a few times. Lin Feng knew how proud and arrogant that girl was, so she would not accept others help and would use her own power. Therefore, when Yu Hao, an Elite Disciple wanted to help her to kill Lin Feng, she refused even though she just had nod once and Yu Hao would kill Lin Feng. She still didn't do it.
Then, at the foot of the mountain, with these cavaliers on Chi Xue armored horses, Liu Fei had said in a cold voice that they were fellow disciples within the sect. She didn't try to get her revenge with numbers.
Therefore, even though Lin Feng thought that that girl was quite detestable, he didn't think that she was evil or malicious. Maybe during the first time Lin Feng had come to her place, she had really believed that he was a pervert and that it was no accident at all.
"Embarrassing?" Liu Fei was looking at Lin Feng looking horribly self confident now she had a breakthrough.
"You should go home. My father gave me a silver Xuan Bow. If you do not leave quickly then I will let you taste its arrows."
Liu Fei grabbed the silver bow she was carrying on her back. It diffused a dazzling light and the sun was reflecting from every inch of the bow.
She put an arrow into the bow, made a small step and bent down… her movements looked smooth and agile. Her beautiful body, her clothes and her movements were in perfect harmony. She looked very attractive… but that beauty was hiding her dangerous power.
"Whoosh…."
The sound of a bowstring vibrating could be heard as the arrow shot through the air at incredible speed. Its dazzling light made it look like it was on fire. It was heading directly towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng was stupefied. The arrow was approaching so quickly that escaping seemed impossible.
He quickly moved from the path of the arrow and struck his sword against the incoming arrow. The arrow flew past Lin Feng and crashed into the side of a cave which was behind him.
"BOOOOM!."
Behind Lin Feng, rocks were falling from the cave and half of the rock face had been destroyed. It had been crushed by Liu Fei's arrow. That attack was quite violent and contained a great deal of power.
"Huh?" Lin Feng was surprised. He could feel the power from her Ling Qi layer… So Liu Fei had broken through to the Ling Qi layer, no wonder that she wanted to fight with him again.
Liu Fei was very young and had yet already broken through to the Ling Qi layer. She was a really outstanding talent. She was about as strong as Lin Qian and Na Lan Feng. Considering these things her arrogance would be inevitable, however she was not as vicious and petty as Lin Qian and did not look down on others like Na Lan Feng. Also her status was much higher than that of Lin Qian or Na Lan Feng. One could notice it from the moment she was seen with the cavalry troop which contained troops much stronger than the ones he had slaughtered during the night before the annual tournament.
"As expected, Sword skills are indeed very powerful." Her arrows were much quicker than before. She had also become much stronger as well. Her arrows could even exceed the speed of sound as they ripped through the air. The whistling sound of the arrow could be heard only after the arrow had reached its target or maybe the sound would be heard after the arrow had already pierced its opponent. Killing people with these arrows would be extremely easy for her.
Bow and arrow techniques were terrifying and Cultivators who used them were extremely respected. Their attacks were fast and precise while carrying extremely powerful destructive force.
Unfortunately for her, Liu Fei's strength was still not extremely developed. It was incomparable with that of some extremely advanced Cultivators who used bows and arrows.
"You're lucky." Liu Fei said to Lin Feng while looking at him. She put another arrow in the bow and said: "I'll give you another chance."
"No need. I am not guilty of anything. I don't need to apologize or to beg you." Lin Feng said while shaking his head. He started walking towards Liu Fei.
"You're bringing about your own destruction." shouted Liu Fei furiously. An arrow then pierced through the air.
"Eight Strikes of Desolation!"
Lin Feng raised his hand and thrust out three strikes which collided with the arrow and with each strike it gradually lost strength until it eventually fell helpless onto the ground.
"Eight Strikes of Desolation, Xuan level skill, Ling Qi layer…" Liu Fei thought while shivering in fear. When she saw that Lin Feng knew the skill Eight Strikes of Desolation, she understand that Lin Feng had also broken through to the Ling Qi layer. No wonder he had remained so insolent.
She had realized her mistake, she immediately turned around and started running at an incredible speed in the opposite direction.
Lin Feng was baffled and had no idea what she was doing. Then, he saw Liu Fei bending over, her body had a perfect arch shape. That beauty was still hiding her killing intent and she would not let go of her revenge so easily.
"Whooosh"
An arrow shot through the air with a whistling sound but this time it was even faster and stronger than a moment ago.
Lin Feng wasn't scared. He was as confident as before. He started his Eight Strikes of Desolation attack again. This time, he used four strikes.
"Damn, how many strikes can that guy do using Eight Strikes of Desolation?!" Liu Fei whispered as she swore at Lin Feng in her heart. She suddenly released her spirit. A beautiful and resplendent Golden Arrow spirit appeared. It looked very different from the last time. This time, there were three arrows behind her back. Her spirit was emitting such a strong Qi that it made Lin Feng shake.
Besides, Liu Fei's spirit had been awakened as expected.
Liu Fei's arrow spirit flew up in the air and following it, Liu Fei also jumped in the air.
High up in the air, the arrows were accurately aiming at Lin Feng. At the same time, Liu Fei was holding her silver bow and had loaded it with three arrows as well. Three cruel and deadly arrows.
"Meteor Fall."
Liu Fei looked serene and calm. Her body floated high up in the air as six arrows were shot and pierced through the air.
The arrow spirit definitely had great advantages. Not only was it able to automatically aim at somebody but it was also able to aim at a specific body part.
At that moment, Lin Feng had the feeling that the arrow spirit was aiming at his soul which made him feel like his very being was being suppressed by the arrows.
"These arrows are so powerful."
Lin Feng was feeling gloomy and immediately he started his Eight Strikes of Desolation attack using both hands. Fourteen strikes had blotted out the Sky and covered up the Earth. moving straight towards the incoming arrows.
"BOOM, BOOM,BOOM!"
Explosion sounds filled the air and an extremely strong wind blew onto Lin Feng's disciple robes.
After these apocalyptic attacks vanished, Liu Fei appeared again in a cloud of dust. She was crouching down and was breathing heavily.
"How can he be this strong?" Liu Fei was looking at Lin Feng and wondering how she would get her revenge. It seemed impossible. She was completely astonished. After she broke through to the Ling Qi layer, her father himself had assisted her in her training. She had been practicing everyday with no rest. She had greatly increased her breathing abilities and her combat skills. She had greatly increased her strength and her attacks now contained explosive power within each arrow. Thanks to her spirit she was now even able to shoot six arrows at the same time.
She was extremely talented as a disciple of the first Ling Qi layer and not many people could defeat her but Lin Feng was still able to block all of her attacks. She had lost once again and was unable to put up resistance.
He was a genius. He could use up to seven strikes of the Eight Strikes of Desolation skill and up to fourteen using both hands. He had managed to master it with both hands to such a level, such a thing was impossible. Was he really only at the first Ling Qi layer? How could his attacks be that horrifyingly powerful?
When Liu Fei saw that Lin Feng was moving nearer and nearer with a weird smile on his face, she could feel a shiver run down her spine and while remaining vigilant she asked him: "What are you planning to do?"
"Hmmm…" Lin Feng said nothing and just hummed as if he was thinking of what he would do. What kind of girl was she? She often used that delicate, charming and tender expression to fool others. She also looked very cute but he knew that deep down she was violent. If Lin Feng didn't have a strong willpower and determination, he could have ended up falling for her too.
Lin Feng whose expression was barely discernible looked at Liu Fei with an evil smile on his face and asked: "What do you think that I am going to do…?"
"You……" Liu Fei had the blood rush from her face and she looked incredibly pale. She took an arrow from her back… and started pressing it against her own throat. She was extremely determined.
Lin Feng was joking on purpose and at that moment was astonished. He wouldn't have thought that his joke would have such repercussions. He couldn't help but be completely shocked.
"If I wanted to do anything to you, do you think I would have let you off last time?"
Lin Feng had no choice but to speak. Could it be that he really looked and sounded like a pervert?
Lin Feng's words suddenly relieved Liu Fei. She also put down the arrow that she was holding.
"If you really want this place then I will leave it to you. From this point forward we won't need to meet anymore, it's too troublesome with you. You continue to shock me." Lin Feng explained while walking towards Liu Fei. When he arrived next to her, he stopped.
Lin Feng bent over and looked at Liu Fei. He slowly sighed amazed by the beautiful skin of the girls in that world.
Lin Feng who was above Liu Fei looked closely and attentively at her delicate face. He looked startled. Then he smiled and whispered: "I have only just realized now that you are pretty cute after all."
When he finished talking, Lin Feng left.
Liu Fei was astonished for a while but she soon came to her senses.
"Ah… that bastard…."
Lin Feng sensed the stones of the mountains around him were shaking and the sound of Liu Fei's voice was echoing through the atmosphere into his ears. There was no need to react that way. Holding a grudge against somebody like this wasn't a pleasant thing after all. It was even scary to a certain extent.
"I guess this settles things between us."
Lin Feng had a resplendent and brilliant smile on his face. He looked like a happy and well rounded young man. Always taking things too seriously or always being too worried was pointless. Sometimes it felt good to relax and not worry.

Lin Feng had left the mountains where he had just finally removed a thorn from his side. He saw some silhouettes on the horizon running at full speed which created a dust storm behind them.
"Hey, what's going on?" asked a disciple who didn't understand what was going.
"You still don't know? There are too many ferocious beasts in the Black Wind Mountain. It looks like oceans of ferocious beasts have emerged. A countless number of ferocious beasts have gone into a frenzy. All the Yun Hai Sect disciples are going there now to stop the disturbance."
"A flood of ferocious beasts…?" replied the other one looking really excited. They immediately headed towards the crowd at great speed, while heading towards the Black Wind Mountain.
The history of the Yun Hai Sect dated back a thousand years but the history of the Black Wind Mountain was even older than that. These floods of ferocious beasts weren't a rare thing but for the great majority of them, they were weaker beasts. Many disciples were heading there for treasures and for battle experience. This was something which did not occur frequently and could not be missed.
A few hundred years before, there was a flood of strong ferocious beasts, the Yun Hai Sect was almost destroyed by this flood. Ordinary ferocious beasts and Ling level ferocious beasts were not a problem, they were ordinary and easy to kill… but during the apocalyptic flood from the past, there was a gigantic quantity of Xuan level ferocious beats which were extremely strong compared to cultivators at the same level. They were incredibly hard to kill which made them extremely dangerous. They made earthquakes with their movements and killed a multitude of people. The sect was almost completely destroyed.
There were also rumors, at that time the leader of the ferocious beasts was a mutant beast which could change its shape, a celestial ferocious beast.
Because it had happened such a long time before the information that people knew about it was limited. However, everybody knew that these floods of ferocious beasts were very dangerous but that they were also a great opportunity.
Cultivators would give their best efforts to obtain as many precious items as they could.
Fighting against ferocious beasts would quickly increase the battle experience of the disciples.
"I wouldn't have thought that the Yun Hai Sect disciples would go there before the elite disciple exam." Lin Feng thought. He then started walking and decided to head straight to the Black Wind Mountain.
Lin Feng didn't walk for a very long time. Liu Fei also came out of the mountains and was also heading to the Black Wind Mountain.
On the highest mountain of the Yun Hai Sect were sitting a group of mysterious people looking down at the surroundings. They were watching Ling Hu He Shan, the top ranked Core Disciple of the Yun Hai Sect.
"How strong. It looks like this time the number of ferocious beasts is quite large.
"Ling Hu is extremely strong as expected. He looks like one of the eight high officials of the country…" People thought while looking at Ling Hu He Shan's silhouette. They all knew that the high official, Chu Zhan Peng had come to the Yun Hai Sect. They had seen how arrogant he was. It had moved Ling Hu He Shan's heart a great deal and he had now placed orders to control who came in and out of the Yun Hai Sect.
The Black Wind Mountain looked like an apocalyptic battlefield. Sect Elders and disciples were moving together towards to the Black Wind Mountain.
The entrance of the Black Wind Mountain was surrounded by the strongest Cultivators within the sect. The ferocious beasts were roaring loudly at the base of mountain. There were also many disciples killing ferocious beasts on the outskirts, it was a real bloodbath.
At that moment, Elder Mo Xie was standing on a huge monolith, his long sleeves were fluttering in the air.
"Elder Mo Xie, these disciples are quite strong. It looks like the ordinary disciples are all capable of advancing really quickly within the sect." said an Ordinary Elder standing next to Mo Xie.
"Haha, this is actually so easy for us to handle. There is no danger that we fear on this mountain. This is just a warm up before the elite disciple exam. It's quite fun actually."
Mo Xie laughed when saying this. He sounded like there was absolutely no ferocious beast flood where disciples were fighting to the death.
"Elder Mo Xie, Elder Mo Xie…."
At that moment, more and more people were gathering. They all came to Mo Xie and were bowing in front of him. They were extremely polite.
At that moment, a silhouette passed by Mo Xie at full speed towards a ferocious beast.
Mo Xie looked pale as if he had seen a ghost. There was a loud thunderous roar and suddenly a level eight ferocious beast died on the spot.
The thunderous roars came from Lin Feng's sword. They were making the entire atmosphere vibrate heavily. He threw himself at wild enraged rhinoceros and smashed its head, then the beast collapsed and died.
Lin Feng used his sword to remove the precious core and other valuable items while placing them in his bag. These precious items were extremely expensive and valuable for him. He would be able to exchange them within the sect for useful tools which would increase his strength and increase his cultivation.
Mo Xie, who was still standing still on the huge monolith, couldn't help but feel like he had a weight placed on his heart when he saw Lin Feng. That was precisely that disciple who had made him lose face in the presence of many other people. He had really humiliated him in front of everyone. He would have never thought that Lin Feng could improve his sword skills to such an extent in such a short amount of time.
"You have become quicker and stronger but you, an ordinary disciple, dared to humiliate me. You should just die." Thought Mo Xie full of hatred. He hadn't forgotten that day. The memory of those events were still fresh in his mind.
"STOP." shouted Mo Xie while looking at Lin Feng. He sounded like a madman and his shout was filled with anger. He had shouted so loud that it surprised Lin Feng. He stopped what he was doing, turned around and saw Mo Xie.
"Elder, what's wrong?" asked Lin Feng.
"Bastard, stop killing all the ferocious beasts! You're doing this only so that the others don't get the precious items, you selfish bastard. Good thing that I'm here to pay attention and think about your fellow disciples of the Yun Hai Sect."
Mo Xie was still shouting with anger. There was someone standing next to Lin Feng. He was an Elder who followed Mo Xie. He was sent there by Mo Xie as he could easily kill Lin Feng with a flick of his wrist.
"Elder, I don't see what precious items you are talking about." said Lin Feng while smiling coldly. Last time, Mo Xie had put Lin Feng in an almost fatal position. It was a death trap. He wanted to hand Lin Feng over to Chu Zhan Peng. Lin Feng wouldn't have thought that Mo Xie would still hate him though. Lin Feng had never directly offended him. Mo Xie had been wrong to try and frame Lin Feng. He thought this Elder had already learnt his lesson"
"Bastard, how dare you talk to an Elder that way?" shouted the Elder standing next to Lin Feng. He sounded furious.
That Elder wasn't weak and had relied on Mo Xie to become an Elder. Of course, he wasn't going to miss an opportunity to show in front of his benefactor.
"I'm saying that you stole the precious items, do I need to repeat it once again?" said Mo Xie smiling coldly. Lin Feng wasn't doing it on purpose. It was easy to misunderstand though. Mo Xie was once again accusing Lin Feng of made up crimes and then everybody would attempt to kill Lin Feng on the spot.
If Lin Feng died, who would say anything? He was just an ordinary disciple. Two Elders were there as witnesses. Two Elders in charge of enforcing the rules within the sect. There would be nothing strange if they killed Lin Feng.
"Little Boy, be very careful, will you dare humiliate an Elder?"Said Mo Xie ad he was laughing on the inside. In his head, Lin Feng was already dead.
"You really are a shameless Elder." Lin Feng cursed loudly. He had first accused Lin Feng of stealing items from the others and then started adding other crimes to the list. Mo Xie was in charge of enforcing the rules in the Sect… How could he abuse his power like this? Even if some others didn't agree, they would protect Lin Feng if he was having issues with an Elder… and Mo Xie was trying to create a conflict between Lin Feng and the other Elder.
Lin Feng had no way to defend himself. If an Elder said he had committed a crime, then he had committed a crime.
"Mo Xie, I know you want to kill me. You don't need to invent false crimes to accuse me. Just admit it honestly, like someone with a backbone."
Lin Feng looked at Mo Xie and smiled coldly. He sounded extremely self confident and arrogant.
"Huh?" Mo Xie frowned. Lin Feng dared be that impertinent?
""Mo Xie, I am just an ordinary disciple. You are an Elder, what are you afraid of? If you want to kill me, then go ahead and try to kill me. I am right here waiting for you."
Lin Feng saw that Mo Xie was frowning and continued to talk. He didn't restrain himself at all. He didn't care about Mo Xie and continued to humiliate him.
"No wonder…" Mo Xie remembered that day. He had been extremely scared of the shadow which took hold of him when he attempted to attack Lin Feng.
Indeed, that shadow had protected Lin Feng during those events. How could Mo Xie be sure that the shadow wouldn't protect Lin Feng again? Was Lin Feng was not acting this way to make him attack so the shadow would act?
He remembered that frightening shadow as it completely dominated his body. Mo Xie couldn't help being terrified at the thought. He was clearly trembling in fear.
He looked at Lin Feng with an evil look. Lin Feng looked back while remaining insolent and not scared at all.
"He Chong, let's go, help me capture him." Said Mo Xie to He Chong who was standing near Lin feng. He didn't say "kill", only "capture".
"Alright." replied He Chong.
"Asshole." Lin Feng said while glancing at He Chong. The insult had spontaneously burst forth from his mouth. It was completely unexpected by the people watching from the sidelines.
"What did you say???" said He Chong growing extremely furious. An ordinary disciple had suddenly dared insult him in front of the entire crowd, that was ridiculous absurd, impossible. That was truly outrageous.
"Mo Xie doesn't dare to touch me and wants you to attack me, haven't you thought of the consequences?"
Lin Feng was smiling coldly while looking at He Chond and then added: "I'm not just insulting you though. The same also applies Mo Xie. He abuses his power as an Elder. When you look at Mo Xie trembling in fear, Are you sure that you still feel like attacking me?"
"Mo Xie doesn't dare attack me. He wants you to do it, you're a scapegoat and you're even excited to obey his orders. Even if I say you are an asshole, am I wrong with what I say?"
Lin Feng's tone was cold but calm. It made He Chong furious. He didn't hesitate and immediately started moving towards Lin Feng.
He secretly glanced at Mo Xie and saw Mo Xie was extremely furious as well but as before, he was not moving towards Lin Feng at all. It was incredibly strange.
"Mo Xie is extremely strong and influential. Does he want me to act as a scapegoat?" He Chong thought. He thought about the conversation Mo Xie and Lin Feng had had. The more he thought about it, the more he thought Lin Feng could be right. Besides, Mo Xie's father was standing behind them, so if something happened then Mo Xie would be helped by his father. However, if something happened to He Chong, who would protect him?
At that moment, a large group of Yun Hai Sect disciples were surrounding them and had seen everything. They couldn't help but be stupefied. An ordinary disciple had only said a few words and had terrified two Elders of the Yun Hai Sect.

"I tell you to hurry up and kill me but you still don't dare, what sort of Sect Elders are you?" said Lin Feng sneering at the, then he turned around and beheaded a sly python with his sword. His sword was extremely sharp and precise.
Lin Feng had an evil smile on his face which made He Chong even more hesitant to attack. He surprisingly already believed Lin Feng's words and did not want to act rashly. Mo Xie didn't dare take risks either so both elders were frozen in place, unmoving. The last time he made a move against Lin Feng, the evil shadow had defended him and had scared Mo Xie to death. Even just thinking about the shadow sent chills down his spine. It had been a deep psychological trauma for Mo Xie.
The flood of ferocious beasts was getting more and more intense. There were also more and more disciples who were joining in the fights. Each of them looked crueler than the other rushing into the multitude of ferocious beasts which actually gave the impression they were bloodthirsty beasts themselves.
Liu Fei had also arrived. She saw that Lin Feng was in the middle of all these ferocious beasts and that it seemed easy for him to kill them. His sword was bathed in blood and rivers of blood flowed under his feet. Lin Feng wasn't using his full strength so it was hard to tell he was at the Ling Qi layer. He was using the strength of the ninth Qi layer to kill the incoming ferocious beasts. However every movement of his sword was precise, powerful, accurate and quick. His swordsmanship was on a whole new level.
Lin Feng had complete control when using his sword and every movement was perfection. He was quick, accurate and powerful. People were unable to tell how powerful Lin Feng was but they knew he must be strong.
"This damned guy again…" Liu Fei insulted Lin Feng in her thoughts. She took her bow and arrow from her back and immediately shot an arrow through the skull of a ferocious beast that Lin Feng was about to kill.
Lin Feng turned around and saw Liu Fei's ice cold eyes glaring at him. He smiled at her in a friendly way and ignored her killing the ferocious beast. He believed their debt had been settled already.
"Raaawwwwwwrrrr." a furious roar spread throughout the atmosphere and echoed through the air. The ground started violently shaking. Everyone had the impression the ground was collapsing under their feet. Everyone's face suddenly became much more serious than before.
"An extremely powerful ferocious beast is coming."
Many people started moving back scared of the ferocious beast which was heading in their direction. A black fog was filling the air in a distant location and was gradually moving nearer. The crowd could just see the fog moving forward and trees getting split into pieces and blown away.
"How scary!"
The crowd was still retreating backwards. That kind of monstrous power must be at least at the Ling level of ferocious beasts. If an ordinary disciple went to try to kill it then they would certainly die.
When Lin Feng noticed that such a powerful ferocious beast was approaching, he started retreating as well. He wasn't confident that he could easily kill such a powerful ferocious beast. Until that moment, he had been killing only low level ones and had never engaged in battle with a ferocious beast of the Ling Level.
While Lin Feng kept retreating backwards, a sudden oppressive force crashed onto his body. That oppressive force made his body go completely stiff and started to push him forwards and prevented him from moving back.
"Animal!" Lin Feng shouted furiously looking at Mo Xie who was behind him. He didn't need to ask himself who was doing this to him, it was obvious that only Elder Mo Xie was able to do that, especially with such strength. He didn't dare attack him so he just prevented him from retreating away from danger.
Mo Xie turned a deaf ear to Lin Feng's insults. He had an evil smile across his face. He had been humiliated by that worthless ordinary disciple a few times, he had completely lost face. But more and more he started to think that he was wrong about the shadow which was supporting Lin Feng. How was that possible that the possessor of that Shadow Spirit was always with Lin Feng? Besides, he had just looked around carefully and had seen no shadow at all. He had decided that if he was going to act, now would be the best chance.
Of course, Mo Xie wasn't absolutely convinced that the shadow wasn't in the area. Therefore, he had only tried to harm Lin Feng using sly and indirect methods. He would have the rampaging beast kill Lin Feng for him
The extremely powerful ferocious beast was moving nearer and it seemed like there was an earthquake every time it moved. The crowd could only see a black fog filling the air. Around that black fog, there was a large group of extremely strong ferocious wild beasts. Each of them diffused such a strong Qi that the disciples who saw had felt their hearts jumping from their chests.
"He's dead. Elder Mo Xie willingly put him in such a situation. He's definitely screwed."
Everybody was running back and saw that Lin Feng was alone unable to move backwards in retreat. Mo Xie was also standing away from the crowd and had firmly placed himself behind Lin Feng. The crowd had clearly understood what was going on. They couldn't help but insult Lin Feng for his foolishness. They didn't understand what the situation was actually about. This was the result for insulting an Elder of the Sect.
"That ferocious beast is extremely powerful. If you force me into fighting it then I will most likely die in an instant" said Lin Feng who was still oppressed and shouted furiously. He wanted to go back but Mo Xie had blocked him.
"Pfff, it seems like this time the Shadow Spirit isn't with him." Mo Xie thought cruelly. Then, he said loudly: "Abandoning others before a large battle, this disciple is the shame of the Yun Hai Sect."
When Mo Xie finished talking, an extremely thick vine suddenly burst out of his body threw itself at Lin Feng at an incredible speed.
Lin Feng body was burning under the pressure of the force that was oppressing him and in the blink of an eye, he was then constricted by thick vine plants which surrounding his body. It had moved extremely quick and looked like a Boa. At that moment, Lin Feng was absolutely unable to move.
"Spirit… It's his spirit. Mo Xie has a Boa Vine Spirit!"
The crowd was shaking with roars of surprise. It looked like Mo Xie was determined to make sure that Lin Feng would fall into that death trap and die. If an ordinary disciple actually dared confront an Elder of the Sect, he was doomed.
However, there were some people who didn't really agree with such a thing. They thought it wasn't fair to attempt killing an ordinary disciple, especially when the one attempting to murder them was a powerful Elder in the Sect. They thought that it was quite shameless for Mo Xie to act as he did but nobody would dare to say anything. Who would dare to provoke Mo Xie?
Lin Feng howled furiously. His sword was glowing but it was constricted by the thick Boa Vine Spirit like the rest of his body. There was nothing that he was able to move.
Even though Lin Feng was a genius who was extraordinary and could definitely easily defeat cultivators of the same level or even of a much higher level than him, he was unable to defeat Mo Xie who was an Elder of the Yun Hai Sect. The gap between the two was gigantic. At that moment, Lin Feng was powerless.
"Impressive for an Elder to bully a disciple… you're really shameless.
At that moment, an ice cold voice shouting was heard. Everybody in the crowd was surprised and stupefied. Surprisingly, the one who had said that was… Liu Fei. The beautiful Liu Fei… who was desired by an incredibly huge amount of sect disciples.
"Huh??" Mo Xie frowned and looked at Liu Fei. He groaned but he didn't dare attack Liu Fei either. He knew Liu Fei's status and background. The funny thing is that Mo Xie's father, Mo Cang Lan had the same name as Liu Fei's father, Liu Cang Lan. But Liu Cang Lan was of course much more popular and famous than Mo Cang Lan. Everybody knew the stories Liu Cang Lan in the Yun Hai Sect. Mo Xie's father paled in comparison.
The bow wielding genius, Liu Cang Lan and the Patriarch of the Sect, Nan Gong Ling were extremely arrogant yet popular when they were young. They cared a lot about their fellow disciples in the sect. They were both the best cultivators within the Sect, they were geniuses. Their friendship was also very deep and sincere, they were truly like brothers.
Liu Fei released her spirit and grabbed her silver bow from her back. She prepared three arrows in addition of the three arrows of her spirit and aimed at the Boa Vine Spirit.
Liu Cang Lan was extremely strong. Liu Fei envied her father's strength and power. Even though she bitterly hated Lin Feng, she couldn't bear the sight that was happening in front of her. Mo Xie was a very tiny personage, shameless and disgusting.
Liu Fei didn't know if that attack was going to be of any use but she still tried. As before, the Boa Vine Spirit didn't move at all.
Lin Feng looked amused for a second. He wouldn't have thought that Liu Fei would surprisingly be the one trying to help him in the last moments of his life.
"I have taken useless risks. I was too negligent. It's my fault." thought Lin Feng depressed. He wouldn't have thought that he would come across Mo Xie and he had even less expected that Mo Xie would do such an evil and shameless thing.
Besides, at that moment, Mo Xie was much stronger than him so nobody was helping him. Liu Fei was an exception but she wasn't strong enough. She tried to help but in vain.
"RRAAAAWWWRRRR………….." The roar of the ferocious beast sounded violent and fierce. The beasts around it were also extremely quick, but there was still that gigantic black fog to be careful about. Nothing could resist it. The gigantic black fog was swallowing everything on its way through the forest. It was extremely strong, unimaginably powerful.
"It's so strong! It must be an Imaginary Demon! It's at least level seven!" Mo Xie could sense that terrifying power getting nearer and nearer. That monster was at the seventh Ling level which meant that it had the strength of a cultivator of the seventh Ling Qi layer. That strength was coupled with its natural strength as a ferocious beast which meant he was even more powerful than a cultivator of the seventh Ling Qi layer. Cultivators had to practice to acquire a basic strength whereas beasts already had a natural born strength which was added their level.
Mo Xie was observing Lin Feng and looking forward to seeing him die.
"Mo Xie, you bastard!" shouted an extremely loud voice which seemed to be thundering through the air. The person to whom the voice belonged was nowhere in sight.
Mo Xie's face immediately changed into a look of disbelief. His Boa Vine spirit suddenly released Lin Feng and surprisingly went towards the group of ferocious beasts.

"How dare you!" shouted an extremely loud voice which made the ground tremble. That extremely violent and furious shout terrified the entire crowd. They were all trying to guess to whom that voice belonged and who could be that powerful within the sect.
There was a flying crane which appeared in the air above then transformed into a bright light. Its light was so blinding that the light from the sun was completely blotted out. The light immediately began attacking the ferocious beasts.
It seemed like these ferocious beasts could sense that the person who had arrived was insanely powerful. They all started neighing, roaring and emitting other noises but that Imaginary Demon didn't seem to be affected as much. Lin Feng was about to get absorbed by that black fog when the Imaginary Demon suddenly rolled away as if he was suddenly trying to escape.
Ferocious beasts of the Ling Level were not only able to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth but they were also very intelligent. They could feel and sense forces as well as powerful energies. It seemed like the imaginary demon had been affected by the force and energy emanating from the crane, which made it want to escape.
The wings of the crane starting emitting a brilliant and dazzling silver light. It then immediately flew through the crowd of ferocious beasts and suddenly, a river of blood seemed to be flowing down the mountain.
These terrifyingly strong and powerful ferocious beasts had surprisingly been defeated by the mysterious person. The possessor of crane spirit was extremely powerful. It was impossible to judge exactly how powerful he was.
After all these ferocious wild beasts were destroyed, the black fog of that Imaginary Demon started dispersing through the atmosphere and turned into grey ashes. Lin Feng had vanished.
"Imaginary Demon… as expected, it's power is incredible."
Some people in the crowed thought while looking at the Imaginary Demon. It was turning into a multitude of smaller Imaginary Demons. It didn't have a real body. Even if you were stronger than an Imaginary Demon, it was still very hard to catch.
Suddenly, the wings of the crane started shaking very violently which created a hurricane. Everybody in the crowd was falling down onto the ground from the pressure. Right after, the crane flew away and disappeared leaving behind a massive amount of dead ferocious beasts lying down on the ground.
How strong! Everybody was speechless.
Chu Zhan Peng who had come to the Yun Hai Sect not so long before was also able to fly and had a Legendary Roc Spirit. Even though he had similar skills and was also extremely strong, in comparison with this Crane Spirit, Chu Zhan Peng was a weakling. In a fight between the Legendary Roc and the Crane, the Legendary Roc would not be able to withstand a single blow.
A great majority of the people who were present had never seen such a strength before. They were very excited. They were wondering who that person was and how he was related to the sect. He was so strong that not a single ferocious beast could have given him a hard time.
"Our Sect has existed for about a thousand years. We are really the Sect of the millennium… even in periods of great prosperity, there are always hidden cultivators of amazing strength which have hidden amongst us."
Everybody was extremely excited after watching such a display of power. They all hoped that one day they would have the chance to become that strong.
At that moment, two people were moving through the sky. Even though their agility abilities were extremely developed, they were moving through the sky in a way which gave the impression it was an easy thing for everyone to do. These two people were surprisingly the Patriarch Nan Gong Ling followed by Mo Cang Lan.
"What's going on?" asked Nan Gong Ling while falling from the sky onto the ground before landing in front of Mo Xie.
"Mo Xie has been trying to kill one of our disciples. He pushed him towards the ferocious beasts so that he would get slaughtered by the monsters." said someone who was standing next to Liu Fei, whose eyes were filled with hatred.
Liu Fei hated Lin Feng but she hoped that she could become strong enough someday to regain her dignity and defeat Lin Feng. She didn't like to see Lin Feng treated in such an unjust way. Lin Feng was a real genius, he was even stronger than her and no one could treat him that way. Lin Feng could become a pillar of the Yun Hai Sect. Liu Fei was sad to see an Elder treat Lin Feng that way.
"Patriarch, this is untrue. There is one ordinary disciple who was killing all the ferocious beasts and stealing all the precious items. Then, when the stronger ones arrived, he deserted. Damn him!" said Mo Xie who was, obviously, not going to admit what he had done. Lin Feng was already dead anyway. Even if he didn't admit that he had killed Lin Feng, who would say anything?
"Alright, today, you clearly wish to die today!"
An extremely loud and aggressive voice emerged. A hurricane was rolling through the air blowing almost everyone away and no one was able to stand steadily on their feet.
Mo Xie's face changed drastically. A terrifyingly powerful Qi appeared and was surrounded by a radiant light. It then flew threw the air and crashed into Mo Xie's body.
"BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!."
The rock on which Mo Xie currently standing exploded into a thousand pieces and Mo Xie's mouth spurted blood like a fountain. That single attack was extremely powerful.
The Elder Mo Xie had been defeated in a single strike, he was bleeding endlessly and all of this was done in the presence of his father, Mo Cang Lan.
The crowd had the impression they were watching a dream. They couldn't believe that it was really happening before their eyes.
Then, the crowd looked again to see who had done that attack and saw an old man. Everybody recognized him.
"Huh? That's the old man who is the entrance guard of the Xing Chen Pavilion."
Everybody was stunned. As a disciple of the Yun Hai Sect, everybody had already been to the Xing Chen Pavilion. It had to be the old man. Who couldn't recognize Protector Bei?
They were not used to seeing him like this though. They were used to seeing him looking almost asleep or lazy at the entrance of the Xing Chen Pavilion. They would have never imagined that he could be so monstrously strong.
At that moment, Protector Bei's eyes were filled with murderous intentions and he was moving slowly towards Mo Xie. He then said in an ice cold tone: "You're an Elder of the Yun Hai Sect in charge of enforcing the sect rules and yet you dare to kill a young disciple, a junior, of the Sect…? If I don't kill you, it means that the sect holds no place in my heart."
Mo Xie's face was deathly pale. He wouldn't have thought that, suddenly, someone would kill him just because of a simple disciple.
A silhouette appeared before Mo Xie and seemed to be vigilant. It was precisely Mo Cang Lan.
"Protector Bei, don't you think that you are exaggerating a little bit?"
"Exaggerating? Mo Cang Lan, have you not educated your son." said Protector Bei extremely sharply which made Mo Cang Lan completely lose face. He then shouted: "Get the hell away!"
"Protector Bei, do you have to be this furious?" asked Nan Gong Ling who came in front of Protector Bei at the same time.
Nan Gong Ling, of course, knew what kind of person Mo Xie was but when it came to the sect, he was still an important person. Besides, there was still Mo Cang Lan. He was extremely strong and in charge of the elders. Therefore, attacking Mo Xie would cause trouble amongst those standing at the top within the Sect.
"Patriarch, let me handle this business, I am about clean up the Sect today." said Protector Bei ignoring everything which had been said until that moment. He regarded Lin Feng as the bright future of the sect. He thought Lin Feng was a gift bestowed upon his sect by the gods… and Mo Xie had fed him to the ferocious beasts.
"Protector Bei!!!!" shouted Nan Gong Ling extremely loud attempting to make Protector Bei regain his calm.
"Don't kill Mo Xie, think about the sect above all!" said Nan Gong Ling to Protector Bei.
"Think about the sect above all?!" said Protector Bei with a sort of smile on his face. He thought that killing Mo Xie was particularly important for the sake of the sect.
"Nan Gong, do you know who that young man was?"
Protector wasn't shouting anymore. His voice was low and sounded it was filled with emotions.
Nan Gong Ling was stupefied. He had no idea, there were so many young disciples in the Sect.
"If Protector Kong was here today, Mo Xie would be dead already!" said Protector Bei. That sentence was filled with meaning. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow, he then said: "Think about the Sect first… Nan Gong… In your life as Patriarch… We will never be blessed with a talent like that again… "
When he finished talking, Protector Bei transformed into a Crane again and suddenly vanished leaving a hurricane behind him.
"Protector Kong…" Nan Gong Ling couldn't believe he had heard the old man pronounce that name. He was shaking from head to toe. Nan Gong Ling obviously remembered and understood everything. That shadow which had protected Lin Feng last time was precisely Protector Kong's spirit. He had protected Lin Feng. He then remembered the eight sounds of drums from the Precipice of Zhangu which had filled the entire atmosphere of the Yun Hai sect.
"BOOM" Nan Gong Ling's heart started pounding, his thoughts were flowing at full speed. He was getting more and more furious. He was starting to find himself being overwhelmed with murderous thoughts.
"Mo Xie!!"
Mo Cang Lan could feel that the Patriarch wanted to kill his son and that he was growing furious. What had happened? What had Protector Bei told Nan Gong Ling?
Mo Cang Lan glanced at Mo Xie. That bastard of a son's behavior was really worse and worse. He was insolent and acted selfishly and relentlessly without thinking.
Lin Feng had been wrapped up in that black fog and immediately after he had had gone through a mystical event. It had seemed like his body had been transported through the universe. He didn't know where he had landed.
An extremely cold Qi started to oppress his body and to dig into his flesh and bones. He wanted to struggle but he didn't know what or how to fight against this Qi
He realized he was extremely weak in comparison.
When confronted with death, Lin Feng released his twin spirits. His eyes became pitch black and he became aware of all the universe that was surrounding him. However, as before, he was immersed in a world of darkness.
"Celestial Spirit."
Lin Feng said in a low voice. A brilliant and resplendent light appeared. It was dazzling and mystical. Lin Feng suddenly saw two piercing cold eyes of a ferocious beast which was staring at him as if he was a prey.
"What's that? Is that a real ferocious beast?" Lin Feng saw cruel eyes and a hideous face. It looked truly horrible.
Many tentacles were approaching him as if they wanted to wrap themselves around him. At the same time, a tentacle had touched his spirit. His strange small snake spirit as well as his celestial spirit were being swallowed.
Lin Feng was feeling so weak that he even thought that some of his vitality was slowly being consumed as well.
At that moment, something very strange happened to Lin Feng.
Something that had never happened before happened. His small snake spirit had moved for the first time, the snake was starting to move!

The small snake was moving, it slowly started to open its mouth and the black fog suddenly started to pour into its mouth.
Swallowing the black fog…
Lin Feng could obviously feel and sense that his spirit had changed and was still changing. That small snake was becoming full of black fog.
His snake spirit continued to swallow the black fog. The more it ate black fog, the bigger it grew. It was gradually growing larger and larger.
Tentacles started to move towards the snake but it didn't have any effect on the snake spirit. Strangely, the snake was swallowing them as well. Lin Feng was astonished. His snake spirit was consuming everything.
Lin Feng had been utterly helpless when facing the ferocious beast of the Ling layer and thought he was about to die. He would have never thought that his small un-awakened spirit, which was the reason for his nickname as "trash" would start moving so suddenly.
There was something strange about the ferocious dark eyes as if there was something wrong. There was a small twinkle which appeared in the eyes which were half filled with worry.
Then a formation of dark tentacles and the black fog started to move away but the snake threw itself towards them.
"Rrraawwww…."
Lin Feng was utterly stupefied. His snake spirit looked excited. It opened its huge and ferocious mouth. Inside, there were a multitude of tentacles and black fog in the process of being swallowed.
It was not enough for his snake spirit. The previously little snake was growing bigger and bigger. From an initial size of a third of a meter, it had grown to a meter in length. It seemed like it was a gluttonous snake trying to consume the world.
The Imaginary Demon groaned and roared as it was fighting against the snake but its body was still being gradually eaten by the snake spirit.
The Imaginary Demon released Lin Feng and the black fog slowly disappeared.
"Rawwwrrrr….." the snake made the same sound as the Imaginary Demon had made. It then swallowed as much black fog as it could and went back to Lin Feng's side.
The snake spirit had become small again but was still much bigger than before. Then it rolled itself around Lin Feng's shoulder and fell asleep.
"It swallowed the imaginary demon?"
Lin Feng's eyes were wide open with shock. The black fog of the Imaginary Demon had completely disappeared without trace.
That's… That was…..The trash spirit…?
Lin Feng was speechless. At that moment, he had the sensation an immense strength was invading his body and a loud buzzing noise was resonating in his brain. He felt his vision grow blurry and he collapsed, completely losing consciousness.
Lin Feng didn't know how much time had passed when he regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he was in a cave. It looked like that of a ferocious beast.
"BOOM!"
Suddenly, Lin Feng's body seemed like it was being crushed which terrified him. Panic filled his face and he felt pain that was indescribable.
His heart was pounding. His dark spirit appeared along with his celestial spirit and suddenly, his mind began to become clear and undisturbed. His Celestial Spirit was also floating before his eyes in the form of a book.
Immediately after, the small snake spirit also appeared. It was about one meter in length. Its body was becoming more solid and rigid. As before, it was still small and looked like it was asleep curled around Lin Feng's shoulder. It looked like it had a lot of affection for Lin Feng. From a glance they seemed to be very close and looked to have a deep connection.
He had awakened his snake spirit!
Something extraordinary happened which made Lin Feng tremble from head to toe. On his back a face had appeared. It had two ice cold, pitch black eyes.
"Imaginary Demon…"
Lin Feng was still shaking and still trying to understand what had happened. How was this possible? At the moment when he had been swallowed by the Imaginary Demon, his snake spirit had suddenly appeared.
A third spirit!?!
Multiple spirits??… He was a real genius. He was truly gifted from the gods… On the continent, there was almost nobody who experienced such a thing. Out of a million of people, there was maybe one to who happened to have two spirits. Surprisingly, Lin Feng even had three. Was he a supernatural existence? A god?
Three spirits. He would be able to terrify everyone at the mere mention of it. He would scare his enemies to death.
There was an unceasing milky-white light circulating in and out of his body. It seemed to be the powerful Qi from heaven and earth. It was encircling him and circulating through his body.
"Did I just break through to the second Ling Qi layer?
Lin Feng's brain was somehow short circuited with the shock of all these events. Even if he had released his spirit and was still able to remain calm to a certain extent, it was hard not to get excited considering the circumstances and the terrifying power of the things happening within his body.
Lin Feng was using all off his mental focus to try and understand all the things that had occurred.
"It looks like that small snake is able to swallow ferocious beasts and enables me to use them and their power. It also seems like it is able to absorb them into itself and use them to increase my strength."
Lin Feng was just conjecturing what was happening but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Trash spirit?
People laughed at him because they thought his spirit was useless but it was actually extremely powerful. If all those people who constantly laughed at him, bullied him and called him a piece of trash because of spirit, knew that he had such a powerful ability granted from his snake spirit, how would they react?
"Damn, I only narrowly climbed from my own grave. I have escaped from the pit and this will be the end of all the hardships I have suffered until now."
Lin Feng recalled his spirits back into his body. He looked up to the sky and uttered a long cry. He didn't know where he was at that moment though. He could only analyze the situation considering all of his past experiences and knowledge.
"Celestial Fangs. These Fangs can devour anything. That's a good name." Lin Feng whispered. That's the best name Lin Feng could think of to refer to his spirit, to that small snake. Celestial Fangs.
"Mo Xie. If I don't kill you, I swear, I will make your life not worth living or my name is not Lin Feng."
Lin Feng stood up and his eyes filled with incredible killing intent.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and as he did, the air in his throat tasted filthy. It tasted like a ferocious beast.
Lin Feng looked carefully around him and it seemed like he was in the cave of a ferocious beast which made him feel extremely uncomfortable and nervous.
Lin Feng quickly moved outside of the cave. Outside was a huge forest. Its trees were crushed into pieces. It seemed like its trees had been crushed by ferocious beasts that had trampled through the area. The smell of ferocious beasts still filled the air. He could even sense the ground shake under his feet at times. He could hear them roar and neigh in the distance.
It seems like the flood of ferocious beasts hasn't stopped.
Lin Feng had just encountered a large group of ferocious beasts where the Imaginary Demon was, but he knew that there were still other groups filled with extremely powerful ferocious beasts. The Black Wind Mountain was full of extremely strong ferocious beasts.
He released his dark spirit. His eyes became pitch black. His sense of hearing and his vision became extremely well developed. He could see and sense everything in his surroundings. His brain was also processing all the data it received very quickly. It was as if he could sense and understand the whole area around him, as if he was looking down on a strategy map.
At the same time, the strong Qi of ferocious beasts was revolving around Lin Feng's feet on the ground. It had started enveloping Lin Feng's body until it completely covered it. Lin Feng entered into a transcendent state of mind. Wrapped inside that Qi, it became impossible to see Lin Feng from the outside.
It was the Imaginary Demon which had given Lin Feng its power. That Imaginary Demon was extremely powerful and its impression was enhanced. This was why it was impossible to see the Imaginary Demons real body. It was just a gigantic black fog as far as anyone could see. Lin Feng, thanks to his spirit consuming the Imaginary Demon, now had that ability too. The Imaginary Demon's skill was imprinted onto Lin Feng's mind and could be used naturally.
In the Black Wind Mountain, there was an incredible amount of ferocious beasts. They were not only in one place but were everywhere in the territory. Because some ferocious beasts were extremely strong, Lin Feng had to be very careful. He could use his Qi to pretend he was a ferocious beast himself thanks to his new ability.
These ferocious beasts were running madly everywhere in the Black Wind Mountain. As the number of ferocious beasts had greatly increased, they were running towards the outskirts as if trying to conquer new territory.
At that moment, the Qi which surrounding Lin Feng really seemed to be that of a ferocious beast. Lin Feng started to walk.
Some small and weak ferocious beasts passed by Lin Feng. Surprisingly, all these small ferocious beasts emitted small and cute sounds indicating that they were submitting themselves to him. The world of the ferocious beasts was even rougher than that of cultivators. It was ruled by the law of the jungle: The weak would become the food for the strong.
Even some Ling level ferocious beasts were running away when they sensed Lin Feng's presence. Adult ferocious beasts of the Ling Level were at least level five which was quite terrifying. However, ordinary ferocious beasts of the Ling level could not compare themselves to the Imaginary Demon.
"The depths of the Black Wind Mountain are really frightening."
Lin Feng realized how terrifying the depths of the Black Wind Mountain were and he couldn't help but think about before, when he was still at the Qi layer and dared come here without being scared at all. How ignorant was he? If they had met any of the ferocious beasts of the Ling level, they probably would have died.
Of course, in the eyes of a ferocious beast of the Ling level, a Cultivator of the Qi layer was like an ant. Maybe these ferocious beasts wouldn't even have looked at them just like Lin Feng looks at ordinary low level ferocious beasts.
"This is a great opportunity, why am I not hunting and killing ferocious beasts to gather precious items?"
Lin Feng started being both nervous and excited. Ling Level ferocious beasts were not like ordinary ones. They could absorb the Qi of the earth and the precious items he could get from them were extremely valuable. If he gave these items to the Elders within the sect to trade, they could produce profound pills or weapons for the Ling Qi layer. Besides, some of the energies these ferocious beasts absorbed were also extremely useful in increasing a person's cultivation.
Good Profound healing pills could cure injuries, including broken bones… It was even said that some pills could resurrect the dead.
Good weapons could help greatly enhance one's attack and defense skills in battle.
All of these items could be acquired and bought in exchange for precious items recovered from these ferocious beasts. This is why so many people took the risks to travel here and kill ferocious beasts. They wanted to acquire precious items to trade.
Lin Feng had the feeling that he was far too poor. Apart from the soft sword, which was given to him by Protector Bei and the profound healing pills which Protector Kong had given to him, he actually had nothing of value. He had indeed never taken the time to consider his wealth and equipment.

Chapter 64: Deadly Sword
"Some people have a high status in society and do not have to worry for money. It's also possible to use some profound pills to increase one's strength and move up in the hierarchy. I could use profound pills and trade for better weapons to increase my strength. As far as I am concerned, I do not have an influential background and I can only rely on my own strength." thought Lin Feng.
His future on the path of cultivation was too important to him. There were many commitments he had in this life. If Lin Feng wanted to succeed, he had to put in more effort than anyone else. Effort was not all he needed though, some luck was also necessary. He also needed people supporting him if he wanted to advance quickly. It seemed like life was going to be full of hardships. In life there would be a great deal of injustice, not everyone and everything could be partial and fair. However to someone who put in more work than anyone else it would eventually show its rewards and eventually make life easier.
If your natural abilities were too low, hard work coupled with perseverance and willpower, could be enough to lead a luxurious and comfortable life.
However, not only were Lin Feng's natural abilities not low, he was an incredible genius with latent potential hidden within his body. Since this was the case, how could he not acquire great power and wealth to one day live a comfortable life?
While thinking of all these things, Lin Feng started moving. Not so long after, he encountered an Abominable Rhinoceros eating a small ferocious beast. There was blood everywhere on the ground and the whole scene was painted red with blood. It was a gruesome scene.
The ferocious beast Qi which was surrounding his body vanished and Lin Feng started walking slowly and carefully towards the scene.
As if it was aware that something was approaching him, the Abominable Rhinoceros turned around. Its bloodthirsty eyes were staring at Lin Feng. It looked brutal, ferocious and bloodthirsty. Its pupils were huge and dark as its gaze pierced through Lin Feng.
There was surprisingly someone in the world who was foolish and dared to step within its territory.
The Abominable Rhinoceros was naturally strong, cruel and bloodthirsty. Once it had reached adulthood, it was a first class Ling Level ferocious beast. It could reach a length of two meters and a height of one meter. It was a giant but sturdy ferocious beast.
That Abominable Rhinoceros looked like it had just reached adulthood. It was thus a first rank Ling level ferocious beast.
"The Abominable Rhinoceros is quick… its horn is extremely sharp… but its strength lies in its natural defense abilities. An ordinary cultivator who is at the first Ling Qi layer could never defeat it."
Lin Feng was trying to remember all the characteristics of an Abominable Rhinoceros. It was impossible to easily break through its defense. Only with enough speed and a precise strike could a cultivator hope to defeat this ferocious beast, otherwise fighting it would lead to their death.
At that moment, the Abominable Rhinoceros was stamping its foot on the ground. A hole appeared under its feet. It was getting ready to charge forward at any moment.
Lin Feng was still incredibly relaxed as he watched the situation. A strong sword Qi was released from his body and had begun to fill the atmosphere. Before the ferocious beast could even start it's charge, Lin Feng had already thrown himself towards it.
Following each of Lin Feng's step, the sword Qi which he was releasing increased and became stronger. A few steps later, the air was filled with a whistling sound.
The hair which was covering the body of the Abominable Rhinoceros stood completely on end and suddenly it roared loudly and retreated.
Ling level ferocious wild beasts were very intelligent and had advanced instincts. It sensed the incredibly powerful sword force which was hidden and knew that the human infront of him would be extremely dangerous to fight.
"Moonlight Feather Agility."
Lin Feng couldn't let it escape. He dashed through the air at full speed and his sword was glowing with a radiant light.
"One strike, one life."
The sword force completely filled the atmosphere. A white light was being emitted from the tip of the sword.
The running Abominable Rhinoceros had a cut which had appeared on its body but it continued to run forwards. Blood was rushing out of its body and left a long thick trial of blood behind it as it ran. It was badly injured and was losing large amounts of blood.
Some poisonous Qi started flowing out from the body of the rhinoceros. Lin Fengs thrust his sword into the Qi and in an instant the Qi had vanished. The Abominable Rhinoceros was dead.
Ferocious beasts were extremely sensitive to blood. In the Black Wind Mountain, there were too many extremely strong ferocious beasts. Therefore, Lin Feng would need to quickly kill the Abominable Rhinoceros and would then leave, otherwise the blood would attract too many ferocious beasts who would be attracted by the blood.
Lin Feng was extremely satisfied with his sword skills and the power unleashed with each strike. Even though the Abominable Rhinoceros was extremely strong and its body was tough, its body had suffered lethal injuries from a single strike with Lin Feng's sword.
As Lin Feng continued to move through the mountain. Lin Feng killed another Ling Level ferocious wild beast but this time it wasn't the Abominable Rhinoceros but an Earthshaking Bear. As before, Lin Feng killed it in one strike.
Two days later, on the outskirts of the Black Wind Mountain, a young man had appeared and all of his clothes were torn and dirty, he was filthy from head to toe. He was carrying a sword in his hand and in front of him, there was a gigantic snake.
That snake was about twenty meters long. It's extremely thick body was slithering on the ground towards the young man. Its head was five meters up in the air. It looked hideous and ferocious. It looked like it was ready to strike at any moment.
Its gigantic eyes were green and were filled with murderous light. Poison and blood was endlessly spraying from its mouth.
"A second level Ling ferocious wild beast is incredibly hard to deal with as expected." Lin Feng's robes had a large hole through which one could see his skin where he had been struck, he was bruised and the area had turned dark purple. Lin Feng was worn out from this fight. Lin Feng had been injured by fighting with that Python of Darkness.
During these two days, Lin Feng had killed around a hundred ferocious beasts, all at the Ling Level. He had killed a few second level Ling ferocious beasts as well but it was the first time that he came across such a strong and dangerous ferocious beast.
"Sssssss, ssssssss……." Its huge tongue was flickering through the air while it continues to hiss. The snake was spitting out poison and Lin Feng would have to constantly avoid the poison from the snake.
But at that moment, the huge Python of Darkness fell down and its head crashed into the ground. This was because its tail had been damaged and pinned by a tree which had fallen down onto it. The snake couldn't avoid it.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wing had filled the air.
If Lin Feng didn't have good agility techniques, he would have already been killed. The second level Ling Python of Darkness was incredibly strong and powerful.
Suddenly, the space in front of Lin Feng filled with light and slashed down onto the python before vanishing from sight again.
The snake emitted an extremely loud moan. Lin Feng had felt like he was being oppressed by the power of the snake. The Python of Darkness kept moving towards him.
"BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!…"
The trees were cracking as the python was crushing everything on its path. Lin Feng was like a shadow in the sun and was too fast for the snake to catch him. If there was an observer, he would think that the snake had gone mad and was chasing an illusion.
Even though the Python of Darkness was only the second level of the Ling level, even an extremely strong cultivator of the third Ling Qi layer would find it difficult to escape with his life. They knew it would be extremely difficult to kill the snake and would never directly confront it. However, Lin Feng had just reached the second Ling Qi layer two days before and was not aware of how dangerous the python was.
"Deadly sword!" shouted Lin Feng. At that moment, his extremely strong and powerful sword thrust towards the Python of Darkness which cut through its body leaving it severely bleeding.
But this time it seemed like the snake hadn't felt the strike connect with its body. It wanted Lin Feng's life and had gone into a complete frenzy.
"I'm not playing with you anymore."
Lin Feng had almost gotten killed by the Python of Darkness multiple times already. After two days continuously fighting within this mountain, his sword skills had already become much stronger than before. He had even more confidence in his own ability. He was convinced that he would be able to defeat almost any cultivator in the second Ling Qi layer… after all, how many cultivators of the second Ling Qi layer were stronger than the Python of Darkness?
Lin Feng released the first layer of his Celestial spirit. His eyes became pitch black and he was surrounded by a world of darkness. Nothing could escape from his vision, he could see and feel everything. Even if the snake was extremely quick, its attacks seemed slow to the Lin Feng that now stood before it.
The snake was about to attack from the side. Lin Feng was firmly holding his soft sword. Which emitted an ice cold light.
A deadly sword Qi emanated from Lin Feng' body. It looked like it could destroy anything it touched.
Lin Feng raised his head. He calmly looked at the Python of Darkness that was moving towards him. Lin Feng's eyes looked like that of a brutal demon. At that moment, he was extremely heartless and there was not an ounce of mercy left inside him.
"Deadly sword."
Lin Feng had faintly said those words. His mouth had barely moved. He wielded his long sword which was releasing a strong Qi as well as a strange grey Qi… It was a deadly Qi.
"Tsss… tsss…"
The extremely powerful grey Qi moved very quickly and was accompanied by a long and painful screech. That strike had cut the snake cleanly into two halves. A cloud of dust rose into the air and the snake hit the ground.
The body of the Python of Darkness was still writhing on the ground as if it did not believe it was dead. Lin Feng used his long sword to pierce through the python's skull and with that action it had completely stopped moving. The atmosphere had become calm once more.
Lin Feng had managed to kill the Python of Darkness, a second level Ling ferocious beast!
Deadly sword. Lin Feng's sword could truly be called deadly after being bathed in blood these two days in the Black Wind Mountain.
Lin Feng stepped forward and picked up the precious items from the body of the Python of Darkness then left towards the sect.
Two days and the flood of ferocious beasts had already strongly decreased to the point that it wasn't a flood anymore. It also seemed that the elite disciple exam was about to start in the upcoming days.
