But very quickly, Meng Qing stopped looking at Liu Fei and calmly looked at Lin Feng. Right after that, she went into a small room of the living quarters and closed the door.
Meng Qing's reaction made Lin Feng smile wryly. From Meng Qing's cold and detached reaction, Lin Feng couldn't guess what she was thinking. He had no idea what she was feeling in her heart.
"Lin Feng… you're a real bastard….." Liu Fei was biting on her lips and looked at Lin Feng with her eyes filled with sadness. She then immediately left the living quarters.
Lin Feng was puzzled. Millions of questions passed through his mind. Wasn't she a bit moody? How could she look at him with such eyes? She looked completely heartbroken. Could it be that she really liked him?
Lin Feng was lost and didn't understand anything anymore so he was just smiling wryly. Women's hearts were really incomprehensible for him.
Of course Lin Feng didn't understand Liu Fei's inner-thoughts. When Liu Cang Lan had asked Lin Feng to take of Liu Fei, his purpose was to make them more intimate by spending longer periods of time with each other.
Liu Cang Lan didn't know how long he would be able to stay alive. He was in great danger after all. The only person Liu Fei could rely on if he died was Lin Feng. Even though they didn't like each other at the beginning because of a few misunderstandings, afterwards Lin Feng had shown that he was the kind of person that she could believe in. He had displayed outstanding physical abilities and was very enlightened on spiritual matters. While getting to know Lin Feng, Liu Fei had gradually forgotten about all of the bad things she thought about Lin Feng originally. Especially, when he left the Yun Hai Sect on the day of the bloodbath, she only had only thought positive things about Lin Feng.
Liu Fei already had feelings for Lin Feng which is why she had accepted to listen to her father and follow Lin Feng. Besides, deep in her heart, she was starting to get used to being together with Lin Feng. Therefore, she found it very normal to live alone with Lin Feng.
But when Liu Fei opened the door of Lin Feng's living quarters, the first thing she was a girl and on top of that, an incredibly beautiful girl. She felt like her heart was broken which is why she had rushed out of the living quarters. She couldn't stand it any longer.
"Lin Feng, whom are you going to comfort first? The one inside? Or are you going to chase the other one outside?" asked Yuan Shan who was standing outside. Lin Feng frowned after hearing his words.
"I should go and talk to Liu Fei first." thought Lin Feng. Liu Fei was still particularly vulnerable because of all the things that had happened, including those with her father. Lin Feng was really worried about her.
Lin Feng went out, jumped through the air and tried to catch up with Liu Fei. She was heading towards the exit. She seemed like she was really angry and wasn't even saying a word.
Lin Feng followed her and finally caught up with her. At that moment, they were already outside of the ancient palace.
"Why are you doing this to me?" asked Liu Fei to Lin Feng. She looked at him with an ice cold glare. Lin Feng clearly noticed that she was jealous.
Lin Feng was feeling weird deep in his heart. He had never felt in love during his lifetime so he didn't know what it felt like but at that moment, delicate and subtle emotions filled his heart.
Lin Feng remained speechless and was just fixedly staring at Liu Fei while walking with her.
"I asked you a question." said Liu Fei glaring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was still staring at her. Liu Fei was stupefied. What the hell was he looking at?!
"Do… you like me?" said Lin Feng in a small and weak voice while scratching his head.
Liu Fei was startled with surprise and almost fell down. She turned around, blinked and looked at Lin Feng. Suddenly, she started laughing loudly.
"Me? Like you? In your dreams!" replied Liu Fei coldly. She then turned around and walked at a faster pace. She had never had such feelings and emotions before. Her heart was pounding extremely fast.
"Really?" said Lin Feng surprised. Could it be that he had just imagined it?
"Liu Fei, stop walking away please." shouted Lin Feng to Liu Fei who was moving farther and farther away. Liu Fei suddenly stopped walking.
"Don't forget what you promised to your father! You must listen to me." said Lin Feng impolitely.
Liu Fei obviously found it hard to turn around. She gnashed her teeth while furiously looking at Lin Feng. That bastard was using her promise to her dad as an excuse!
But at that moment, Lin Feng walked up to her. When he arrived next to her, his hand grabbed Liu Fei's hand and he said: "Let's go back, alright?"
Lin Feng was holding her hand so tightly that she couldn't get away from him. That bastard was using strength against her. As she couldn't break her hand free from his, she just angrily glared at him.
"Relax now." Lin Feng was proud of himself. Coping with women wasn't an easy thing but Liu Fei was being docile at that moment.
Of course, He wouldn't be able to do the same thing with Meng Qing. If he tried to use force against her, she would probably attack him and in the blink of an eye he would be sent flying.
A short time after, Yuan Shan and Duan Feng saw Lin Feng and Liu Fei coming back hand in hand. When they saw that Liu Fei wasn't struggling and was holding his hand too, they were astonished. They looked at Lin Feng in a way which looked like they were worshiping his prowess with women. What a truly talented young man!
"There are many rooms in my living quarters, you can choose one and stay there. If you don't agree, you can live with Jing Yun." said Lin Feng releasing Liu Fei's hand.
"Who would want to live in the living quarters of a bastard like you?" said Liu Fei looking at Lin Feng with cruel eyes. Lin Feng suddenly felt relieved though and had the feeling that Liu Fei had returned to her usual self.
Uncle Liu had asked him to take care of her. It seemed like better days would be in the future because today he felt terrible.
Lin Feng shook his head and went back into his apartment. He moved towards the room in which Meng Qing was and softly knocked at her door.
There was no reply for a few seconds and then Lin Feng heard Meng Qing's voice from behind the door say: "I want to have a rest. Go and have fun with her."
"Eh…." Lin Feng was smiling wryly. Could it be that the divine and spiritual Meng Qing was jealous?
But Lin Feng quickly refuted the idea that she could be jealous. Meng Qing always gave the impression that she had a stone cold heart. Lin Feng never knew what she was thinking.
"I said that I wanted to rest. Leave now." shouted Meng Qing from inside the room. Lin Feng was stupefied.
What was going on? What was wrong with her?
Men Qing had always sounded cold and detached. Her mood seemed to never really change but at that moment, she almost sounded angry.
"Meng Qing……" said Lin Feng again but Meng Qing immediately interrupted him and said: "Go away!"
Something was wrong.
A light twinkled in Lin Feng's eyes. There was obviously something wrong!
Lin Feng resolutely pushed the door of her room but… it didn't open. It seemed to be locked from inside.
Lin Feng pushed the door with all his strength and eventually managed to open it. He then immediately entered the room.
Lin Feng just felt an extremely strong and cold Qi starting to oppress his body. How scary! The scariest was that Qi filled the entire room.
Lin Feng's pupils shrank. He glanced at the room and then at the simple bed.
Meng Qing was sitting on her bed. Lin Feng was stunned when he saw her. Meng Qing was shivering and her body was covered with a layer of frost.
Meng Qing's beautiful hair was entirely white as it was covered with frost.
"What's wrong?" cried out Lin Feng in alarm. Meng Qing raised her head. Maybe that she was just too cold from the frost. She moved her lips but no words came out of her mouth.
"Meng Qing, are you alright? Tell me what's wrong!" said Lin Feng while walking towards the bed. Lin Feng felt even colder as if his entire body was going to freeze.
It was too cold but the coldness didn't come from outside, it came from Meng Qing's body.
"Go away. Don't come here." said Meng Qing with a shaking voice.
Lin Feng sensed a strong pain in her words. He recalled the strong and cold Qi that had fallen onto his body a moment before when he had entered the room.
At that moment, Meng Qing's body was releasing some ice-cold Qi but as always, she was trying to act as if nothing had happened.
Meng Qing didn't want to tell Lin Feng what was going on.
Lin Feng took a few steps towards her bed and finally reached the edge of it. Suddenly, frost started spreading from his hands and started to cover his whole body. In the blink of an eye, he looked exactly like Meng Qing, covered with frost. He had also started to shiver.
…But he looked determined as ever!

Lin Feng was getting closer and closer to Meng Qing. As he was getting nearer, he also felt a more extreme amount of cold piercing through his body. At some point, he wanted to touch her shoulder with his hand and realized that his fingers were completely frozen. He couldn't move them anymore.
"Leave." said Meng Qing with a hoarse voice. After a short time, her body stopped releasing a cold Qi. She couldn't stand seeing Lin Feng like that. It made her feel sad deep in her heart.
"You silly girl. Every time, you're the one who protects me. I lose face each time." said Lin Feng while smiling. His eyebrows were completely white.
At that moment, a pure Qi landed on his body and suddenly, he didn't feel so cold anymore. The frost also instantly vanished.
Lin Feng then moved closer to Meng Qing.
Meng Qing saw that Lin Feng had a smile on his face even when he was starting to freeze over from head to toe. That smile remained on his face and he continued to smile warmly at her.
"I hope you won't blame me." said Lin Feng while smiling. He then stretched his arms towards Meng Qing and tried to hug her. Suddenly, he felt a piercing coldness invade his body and in the blink of an eye, he was completely frozen once again. Meng Qing's body looked it was frozen solid in ice. This type of cold could make people suffocate from the piercing sting on the lungs. It was incredibly hard to breathe.
Suddenly, a stone appeared around Lin Feng's body. In that stone, there were all the things that were contained within the temple of the Yun Hai Sect.
Lin Feng's eyes were closed. He released his spirit and suddenly, the world which appeared around him wasn't dark as it used to be, it was entirely white covered with snow and it was also extremely cold!
"Swallow."
Lin Feng, after releasing his Celestial Spirit, started absorbing and swallowing the pure Qi of the purity stone. He was both exhaling and inhaling the pure Qi at the same time which was one of the abilities his Celestial Spirit provided.
Meng Qing blinked and attentively looked at Lin Feng's delicate and beautiful face. She wasn't moving anymore either. She was just staring at Lin Feng's closed eyes while still releasing cold Qi which was immediately crashing onto Lin Feng's body.
It seemed like time had stopped. The ice on Lin Feng's body was getting thicker and thicker. Half of his body was already completely rigid because of the ice. His breath was also slower and slower. Besides, more than half of the pure Qi of his purity stone had already been consumed!
Even in that situation, Lin Feng was aware that his body was becoming colder and colder and that the ice covering his body was getting thicker and thicker. He was also aware of the fact that the pure Qi of the purity stone wasn't sufficient to help him break through. He suddenly couldn't do anything anymore and just let the ice invade his body.
At that moment, Meng Qing stopped releasing cold Qi. Her entire body snuggled against Lin Feng. At that moment, she didn't look like an ice-cold divine goddess anymore. She looked like a pitiful young girl who was consumed with sadness.
"How cold."
At that moment, Lin Feng felt like he couldn't resist the coldness anymore. It seemed like the ice was about to freeze his muscles and blood. He was frozen stiff from the cold Qi which had pierced his entire body.
"I cannot give up, I have to persevere!" But willpower and determination weren't enough. Lin Feng was frozen stiff and unable to move, no matter how hard he tried. He was shivering from head to toe and his teeth were chattering from the cold.
The coldness was starting to penetrate into Lin Feng's blood but at that moment, his soul started vibrating. He was suddenly filled with a very familiar sensation!
"That's my spirit. My snake spirit." Lin Feng's heart was pounding. The sensation he had at that moment was the same as when he had almost been killed by the Imaginary Demon.
"My Snake Spirit has woken up."
"Hissssss." Lin Feng heard his snake spirit hiss. It then opened its huge mouth and started uninterruptedly swallowing cold Qi.
"Oddly enough, my snake spirit is also able to swallow that ice-cold Qi." Lin Feng's heart was pounding. His pupils shrank as he watched his snake spirit swallow unimaginable quantities of cold Qi. That was a scary thing to watch!
The cold Qi which filled the entire room was being swallowed by the snake. The room was becoming less and less cold with each passing moment.
An illusionary group of icicles suddenly appeared behind Lin Feng. It was extremely powerful and cold but it couldn't affect either Lin Feng or Meng Qing because Lin Feng could control it!
"An ice spirit replaced my imaginary demon spirit?" Lin Feng opened his mouth. He was completely stunned after noticing the change. It was just like the last time when he was in danger. After his snake spirit had finished eating, whatever it ate would appear behind Lin Feng and become an additional spirit.
Last time, the imaginary demon spirit had appeared behind Lin Feng because his snake spirit had swallowed it. This time, it had swallowed large amounts of ice Qi and a new ice spirit appeared behind his back replacing the imaginary demon spirit.
Lin Feng's snake spirit was so incredible that it made him scared.
Lin Feng's snake spirit had almost finished swallowing the entirety of the cold Qi within the atmosphere. His ice spirit was becoming much stronger and colder. The more Qi which was swallowed the stronger the spirit was becoming. Besides, his snake was growing bigger and bigger as it swallowed the cold Qi.
Finally, the cold Qi completely disappeared from the room. At that moment, the ice had even disappeared from Meng Qing's body. No ice was being released by her body any longer. It had even started to get warm in the room.
Suddenly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She needed to rest. She was emotionally exhausted after such events.
At that moment, Lin Feng looked at the sleeping beauty. A big smile appeared on Lin Feng's face and his heart started beating faster.
"I became stronger yet again."
Lin Feng was able to detect that he had become stronger which made him smile. Even though he had been able to survive by the skin of his teeth, he felt very satisfied.
Lin Feng didn't bother Meng Qing. He closed his eyes and started meditating.
Deep in meditation, Lin Feng realized that his strength was still insufficient. He needed to increase his practise and grow stronger faster. He had not spent enough time increasing his strength in the past days.
There were many other countries in the continent and many other outstanding cultivators. If he did not work hard then he would fall behind.
Not aware of how much time had passed, Meng Qing's hand started moving. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the cold Qi had completely disappeared from the room. Besides, her head was still against Lin Feng's comfortable and warm body.
She then blinked twice. She looked perplexed at how such a situation had come about. She immediately sat up and saw that Lin Feng's eyes were closed and that he was meditating. She was surprised!
Lin Feng had felt something change within the room, he stopped meditating and opened his eyes. He looked at Meng Qing in a tender way and smile.
"You have finally woken up."
"Yes." nodded Meng Qing. She looked at Lin Feng and asked, looking dumbstruck: "How did you do that?"
"I had a beautiful girl against me so I forgot about the coldness. Then, I ended up like this." said Lin Feng while smiling. She looked at Lin Feng but wasn't sure how to interpret what he meant. These easily said words still made her feel slightly better though.
Even if she hadn't used all her strength when releasing that terrifyingly cold Qi, Lin Feng was able to resist to such an attack. It was impossible… but he had still done it… so how was that possible?
Even though Lin Feng didn't tell her, she quickly stopped asking herself that question and said to Lin Feng: "What do you think you are doing still sitting here?"
"Eh…" said Lin Feng while blinking. Was every woman like this? Aggressive to the ones that they care about?
"I am worried about you so I want to be here in case you needed me." replied Lin Feng in a low voice.
"Now, there is no ice on my body anymore. How long do you plan to continue hugging me?" asked Meng Qing fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Her voice sounded cold and indifferent again.
Lin Feng frowned. He then immediately stood up and left her room. That girl was… way too smart!
What Lin Feng didn't see because he had left her room already is that Meng Qing was blushing. At that moment, anyone who would have seen her would have been astonished to see her face was bright red!

In the middle of the ancient palace where the students lived, there was a very high tower. It was a place dedicated to the practicing of cultivation. Students could clearly see the sky when standing in that tower. The tower was a good place to practice cultivation because the natural energy that pulsated through it, the Qi of heaven and earth, were perfectly interconnected at this location.
In the Celestial Academy, there were three other towers which were similar to this one. Those studying governmental affairs and those studying to become assassins also had their own towers. As far as the fourth is concerned, it was on the main public square of the academy and it was also the highest one.
"Lin Feng, the teacher gave us our first task while you were away. We have to practice our cultivation in the tower for a minimum of three months." said Yuan Shan.
Lin Feng and the others were standing outside of the cultivation tower. They were all staring at the tower and Yuan Shan said: "In simple words, that tower is a perfect place to practice because of its abundance of pure Qi coming from heaven and earth to that location. The pure Qi of heaven and earth is flowing in what forms an endless stream of energy to that location. This energy is the same as those which flow in the veins of the earth. The inside of the tower is perfect for cultivation because the Qi is much denser and flows freely into the tower."
"Managing to build four towers in which there is such a perfect stream of pure Qi is really masterful work." said Lin Feng who could already feel some of pure Qi coming from the ground all around the outside of tower.
"Besides, if we don't count the palace where the Imperial Clan lives, the academy is the place where there is the most pure Qi. Even the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue only has two locations in which to build these towers. It is also very difficult to find places where there is pure Qi which circulates into the flow. Even the biggest sects usually don't even have any. Actually, this is one of the reasons why the Imperial Clan is so strong, because they possess an incredible quantity of pure Qi.
Lin Feng nodded. Pure Qi was a thing cultivators longed for day and night. Even in the Yun Hai Sect, there wasn't even a single location which contained the flow of pure Qi.
"It seems like the Celestial Academy really has a scary amount of resources." thought Lin Feng. Even though the academy wasn't famous because it was very secretive in how it recruited its new students, it seemed like it was more powerful than Lin Feng had ever imagined.
The academy required a letter of recommendation which was a difficult thing to obtain. Besides, it trained students for three specific functions: commanders, government officials and assassins. In all of these cases, these kinds of functions were extraordinary and were absolutely detached from the daily life of ordinary people.
Lin Feng and the others went inside the tower. Inside, there were some rooms and some of them were closed as they were already occupied by other people.
Lin Feng could feel the pure Qi of the earth penetrating into his feet and invading his entire body. It was quite an intense experience which he almost found scary. He was not cultivating and the Qi was already attempting to penetrate into his body.
"Let's go upstairs. Hope we can find some space to practice. Maybe we will get stuck on the last floor." said Yuan Shan. Unfortunately, the best place to practice in the tower was the ground floor. The closer to the ground, the better the quality of Qi would be. As you moved higher and higher it had slightly less Earth Qi circulating.
Obviously, the pure Qi of the earth was coming from the ground so it was also the place where it was the most intense. Lin Feng nodded and they all walked towards the higher floors.
The higher they were getting, the rarer pure Qi became. The tower was also getting narrower as they went to higher floors in the tower.
Lin Feng looked at a room on the tenth floor. They were extremely small and could probably accommodate only two people at once. If a person wanted to move inside these rooms then it was not convenient as there really was not enough space.
There was a young man in black robes was sitting outside the room on the tenth floor and his eyes were closed.
"What is he doing?" asked Lin Feng surprised. That young man in black robes was practicing outside of the room even though there was a spare one free. How could he enter in a state of meditation in such an open place?
Yuan Shan looked at Lin Feng, stopped walking and said: "You need a purity stone to enter the room. Many people don't have one and even if they do, they don't want to take it out. They prefer using other people's stones."
When Lin Feng heard Yuan Shan, he made a strange face. Use other people's stones?
"They wait for people to come and use their purity stones and then they consume the pure Qi from other peoples stones from outside the room."
At that moment, the young man in black robes suddenly opened his eyes and coldly looked at Yuan Shan.
"Since you know how things work, then no need to talk bullshit. If you want to use the room, use it, if you don't feel like it, then don't use it. Get the hell out if you are going to waste my time!" coldly said the young man in black robes. He was being extremely rude.
Lin Feng and the others were stupefied. Jing Yun then opened her mouth: "Yuan Shan, doesn't the academy care about such things?"
The young man in black robes looked at Jing Yun as if she was an absolute idiot. The academy, care about such things? How ridiculous.
"Jing Yun, did the Yun Hai Sect care when people fought?" said Lin Feng. Jing Yun slightly nodded. Academies and sects were about getting stronger. The weak were the prey of the strong. Who would care about such things?
"Get the hell out of here! You're disturbing me while I'm trying to meditate." said the young boy in black robes who was getting impatient. Some of the senior students didn't understand the rules of the academy which stipulated older students should guide the newer students.
"Lin Feng, let's leave. If he dares to stay here and wait for other people to come practice then he must have broken through to at least the third Ling Qi layer. Let's continue onwards." said Yuan Shan to Lin Feng.
Meng Qing didn't follow him because Yuan Shan thought they were weak. Since he was wrong, she didn't feel like following him.
Lin Feng was motionless. He was standing at the same place.
"Third Ling Qi layer? Perfect! I was looking for someone of the third Ling Qi layer." Thought Lin Feng
"Since there's a room here, why not use it? Why should we continue onwards?" said Lin Feng. Everybody was surprised, especially the young man in black robes who had already started meditating. Everybody looked interested in what Lin Feng planned to do all of a sudden.
"New students overestimate their own abilities. They think that they are extremely strong because they are students that were accepted into the academy." said the young man while looking more and more impatient. Practicing on the highest floors of the tower wasn't a cheap thing to do. They needed to bring at least three purity stones with them. If they cultivated there for a month, they needed to bring at least a hundred purity stones with them.
"Lin Feng, don't attack him." said Yuan Shan. They were going to stay there for three months so they would need two or three hundred purity stones. That was a huge number and they didn't have that many. The best they could do was find a room with a smaller cultivation requirement.
"No problem." said Lin Feng. Since that guy wanted take advantage of others, Lin Feng wanted to see if he really had the strength for that.
Lin Feng walked towards the entrance of the room. Next to the entrance, there was a hole in the wall.
"Is it where you have to insert the purity stone?" asked Lin Feng to Yuan Shan.
Yuan Shan nodded his head and replied: "Indeed. It's the same for every room. Inserting a purity stone in that hole then enables you to fully enjoy the functionalities of the room. The veins of the earth fills the entire room with pure Qi making it a perfect place for cultivation."
"What an intriguing method." thought Lin Feng.
He then nodded and said to Yuan Shan: "If I practice here for three months, how many stones do I need?"
"That should be three purity stones of lower quality each day."
Three purity stones of lower quality.
Lin Feng smiled wryly. As expected, cultivation required wealth. Purity stones were precious items to cultivators. Only cultivators who had reached the Ling Qi layer could use purity stones to their maximum effect. It was almost impossible to obtain a great number of purity stones.
Lin Feng took something out of one of his pockets. Suddenly, an extremely dense and strong pure Qi emerged in the atmosphere. Yuan Shan was astonished.
Purity stone of medium quality. Lin Feng surprisingly had purity stones of medium quality.
"Are three purity stones of medium quality enough?" asked Lin Feng.
"Of course! One purity stone of medium quality is the equivalent of a hundred purity stones of lower quality. Besides, they also produce a much stronger and purer Qi." said Yuan Shan while nodding.
The young man in black robes had a look filled with greed across his face.
That new guy had purity stones of medium quality. He would just easily take them and then use the room himself!

Lin Feng didn't pay attention to the expression of the young man in black robes. He immediately inserted his three purity stones of medium quality.
At that moment, a thick and intensely powerful pure Qi started flowing into the room. It was extremely bright and a magnificent sight. It looked like there was a miniature sun that had awoken in the room. It was similar for everybody else in the other rooms.
The young man in black robes had a strange expression on his face, almost evil. He immediately moved towards Lin Feng's cultivation room.
There was only Lin Feng in the room so he wasn't scared.
That room was appropriate for only one person at a time. If there was more than one person in the room, they would disturb each other during cultivation.
Yuan Shan moved towards the young man in black robes and blocked the way to Lin Feng's room. If the young man in black robes tried to steal Lin Feng's room, Yuan Shan would have no choice but to attack him. He was intensely staring at the young man in black robes.
Three purity stones of medium quality, that was too valuable of a treasure!
Rumbling noises spread through the air: "Throommm Boom Boom"
The stone door opened.
The young man in black robes was surprised and said to Yuan Shan: "Get the hell out of my way."
Suddenly, Yuan Shan was suffocating. As expected, the young man in black robes was at the third Ling Qi layer and was extremely strong, even in comparison with other cultivators of the same level. His pressure was extremely powerful.
Yuan Shan knew that he wouldn't be able to compete with him if he was to fight. It was taking everything that he had to stay standing.
"Get Back!" said a voice. At that moment, the temperature outside of Lin Feng's room suddenly dropped. There was an icy cold pressure which filled the air.
Yuan Shan was freezing from the Qi which penetrated the air around him.
"BOOOOM!!"
Suddenly, the young man in black robes took a few steps backwards and Lin Feng had appeared next to Yuan Shan.
"Lin Feng, how powerful!"
Yuan Shan's pupils shrunk from shock. He wouldn't have thought that Lin Feng would be strong enough to make the young man in black robes retreat backwards. No wonder Lin Feng didn't care about the young man sitting there when he entered the room.
The young man in black robes was stupefied as well. He looked at his own hand and saw that it had turned snow white. Frost was covering it and he could barely move it. His hand had been almost frozen solid from that initial encounter.
The ice on his hand suddenly cracked and the pieces of ice fell onto the floor. He was fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't look very powerful but he had surprisingly also broken through to the third Ling Qi layer.
"Now, get the hell out of here." said Lin Feng. Lin Feng wasn't aggressive to other people unless they were aggressive to him. Picking his fights carefully would allow him to live a long life and avoid meaninglessly insulting someone, however one needed strength in this world to be respected and could not back down from a fight.
The young man in black robes was furious. Even though Lin Feng had also broken through to the third Ling Qi layer. How could he possibly disrespect him in such a blatant way?
Suddenly, huge flames appeared behind the young man and he released his spirit. What astonished everyone is that the flames were filled with a black colour inside.
"My spirit is a Black Flame Fire Spirit." said the young man in black robes coldly. At that moment, his eyes looked like they were on fire and burning brightly however his gaze was completely cold and bloodthirsty.
"Black Flame Fire Spirit." Yuan Shan was stupefied. He had never heard of such a fire spirit before.
The Black Flame Fire spirit was a fire spirit but it was clearly a rare fire spirit. The rarer a spirit was the greater its power would be. Surprisingly, the young man possessed an extremely rare spirit which even Yuan Shan did not know. His spirit coupled with his strength of the third Ling Qi layer, he could be considered as an extremely strong cultivator within the tower.
Lin Feng was coldly looking at him. Layers of ice appeared on Lin Feng's body. The air around him was freezing.
"Black Flame Fire spirit, how powerful! Wow it really looks hot!" said Lin Feng and then immediately started walking forwards. Suddenly, an incredible amount of ice started emerging from Lin Feng's body. Everything around him was freezing. Even the air was freezing in place and the atmosphere had become chillingly cold.
Yuan Shan who wasn't far from Lin Feng was shivering from how cold it had become. His ears were particularly were stinging from the coldness in the air.
"That's… a normal ice spirit?" thought Yuan Shan. He then immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible. That's not a normal ice spirit. Ice spirits are not that… cold."
While the young man in black robes sensed the coldness emanating out of Lin Feng's body, he was also surprised. It was even too cold for his black flame fire spirit which started fluttering as it was slowly being extinguished by the cold as it grew closer.
Usually, fire spirits had the advantage over ice spirits. But Lin Feng's ice spirit was obviously terrifyingly powerful compared to normal ice spirits.
Lin Feng thought that his ice spirit was particularly strong because it had been transmitted directly from Meng Qing's Qi into him.
"Eight Strikes of Desolation." Lin Feng raised one hand and thrust it towards the young man as he carried out his attack. It was still freezing all around him as his hand swiftly moved through the frozen air.
"Fire Fangs!" shouted the young man in black robes. His spirit moved at the same time as his hands. The young man's attack moved straight towards Lin Feng's cold Qi. Suddenly, sword Qi started to fill the atmosphere. It was extremely powerful and seemed like it could annihilate the entirety of creation.
Lin Feng's cold Qi seemed to be sufficient to freeze anyone into a block of ice who moved close to him.
The sword Qi was so sharp it felt like it would cut anything it encountered into pieces.
The cold Qi and the sword Qi invaded the atmosphere together as a single entity. At that moment, the young man in black robes could feel that he had been marked for death. His entire soul was shaking in fear.
"How is this possible? He has an ice spirit, how could he release such an insanely strong sword Qi and I can even sense sword force combined with his Qi!!!"
The young man was shaking from head to toe with complete terror. His knees had already gone weak and he was about to collapse from fear. Lin Feng took another step forwards.
"Get lost!" shouted Lin Feng. At that moment, sword Qi crashed into the young man's body.
A trail of blood flew through the air. The young man in black robes groaned and then collapsed onto the floor. He was looking at Lin Feng with murderous eyes.
"You dared to injure me?"
"I don't have time to waste talking with you, get out of here!" Lin Feng took another step forward. The young man in black robes was terrified. Suddenly, his body emitted a dazzling light and he vanished without leaving a single trace.
"You'll pay for what you did." said a voice as it retreated. Lin Feng laughed. How could that guy talk such nonsense?
Yuan Shan was staring at Lin Feng but remained silent. He was smiling wryly.
"What a monstrous power!"
Lin Feng had an ice spirit but used the skill Eight Strikes of Desolation and released sword Qi. How terrifying! He could even use sword force!
Even those who had a sword spirit couldn't use sword force to such an incredible level when they had the strength of the Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng was only of the third Ling Qi layer and could control his sword force. Yuan Shan was stunned. Could it be that Lin Feng had several spirits? A sword spirit and an ice spirit must have been used at the same time. Otherwise, how could he have used sword force at the same time as his ice spirit?
Yuan Shan had only guessed right about one thing: Lin Feng did possess several spirits.
Jing Yun wasn't too surprised. On the way to the Imperial City, she had already witnessed Lin Feng's strength a few times already.
Liu Fei wasn't too surprised either. Lin Feng had shown her a many times already that he wasn't an ordinary person. His power and his natural abilities were way too terrifying!
Lin Feng was about to recall his spirit into his body when suddenly one of the practice rooms opened by itself. An intensely cold air came from the room as the Qi flooded to the outside.
"Damn it, do you not understand the rules! Do you really want to die so badly!" said a voice coming from the room. A silhouette appeared and that person was staring at Lin Feng with incredible killing intent.
Lin Feng frowned. A strangely savage smile appeared on his face. He released a piercingly cold Qi again as well as sword Qi and force. It was oppressing the opponent's body completely.
The facial expression of the opponent drastically changed. His heart was pounding and he was truly scared of the combined energy which was oppressing his body.
"Let me practice in peace, damn it! Get lost!"

"Let me practice in peace, damn it! Get lost!." said Lin Feng extremely coldly. At that moment, the atmosphere started to drop in temperature once again.
The opponent didn't have the same arrogant expression he had when he arrived, he looked scared. Lin Feng was so strong!
"Damn, what the hell should I do now?" said the opponent as he was insulting himself for having come across someone as strong as Lin Feng.
At that moment, many other people in other cultivation rooms had also lost their concentration and their cultivation had been forcefully interrupted. They could feel Lin Feng's piercingly cold Qi in the atmosphere. It had invaded the entire tower and was incredibly oppressing. Of course, they were not going to go and see what was going on. They didn't want to invite trouble from someone who could produce such a terrifying Qi.
"Will you get the hell out of here or not?" said Lin Feng extremely aggressively with eyes revealing murderous intentions. The enemy was shaking from head to toe.
He glanced at Lin Feng evilly and then went to look for another room within the tower. His current room would have to be left with Lin Feng.
"The strong can use aggressiveness and strength to scare the weak away. That is the reality of the cultivation world." thought Lin Feng while recalling his spirit back into his body. The young man in black clothes had wanted to steal Lin Feng's room until Lin Feng had shown his real power. He had thought that Lin Feng was weak.
The second person had also wanted to seize Lin Feng's room for disturbing his practice but considering the strength which Lin Feng displayed, the second person had been terrified and had immediately left. He didn't dare to act against someone so strong. That would have been acting recklessly.
The path of cultivation was full of unkind people for whom the word compassion meant absolutely nothing. Someone weak and friendly would constantly get bullied. Someone strong and aggressive would be worshipped. The strong were respected and held in high esteem by everybody.
"Yuan Shan, you can use that room. You should also prepare some of your own purity stones. If the three stones I put it are not sufficient to practice for three months, then please use your own." said Lin Feng to Yuan Shan. Yuan Shan nodded. He didn't even try to prevent Lin Feng from leaving the cultivation room to him. He was convinced that relying on his strength, Lin Feng would face no difficulty in finding another room within the tower.
"Duan Feng and Jing Yun are a bit too weak. If the pure Qi is too dense and thick, it will be of no use for them. Liu Fei, go to that room." said Lin Feng pointing at another room.
Duan Feng and Jing Yun didn't say anything but Liu Fei said: "If I use that one, what about you?"
"No need to worry about me. I will find another one better suited for myself."
"Alright."
"See you in three months." said Liu Fei and then immediately entered in the cultivation room.
Lin Feng then made Duan Feng and Jing Yun follow him so he could help them find a cultivation room. The eleventh and the twelfth floor were full so they immediately went up to the thirteenth floor. He then found two rooms which were free for them to practice.
From the eleventh floor, all the rooms required less purity stones. They only required one purity stone of lower quality a day. One of Lin Feng's medium quality purity stones was enough to practice for three months.
It made Lin Feng sigh with some regret. Cultivation costs were too high, especially when one wanted to cultivate faster. If he hadn't gone to the ancient temple then he would not have had any purity stones at all. Now thanks to the ancient temple he didn't only have low quality stones but he had medium quality purity stones.
The higher a person went within the tower, the less people there were and thus more and more empty rooms. Those who were willing to train in these rooms were not strong. They usually hadn't even reached the third Ling Qi layer. They were also the students who did not have many purity stones to cultivate.
On the contrary, strong cultivators usually had a great deal of purity stones. That kind of cultivator wanted to train on the lowest floors of the tower and if they were strong enough then they would even train on the ground floor, directly next to the veins of the earth where the pure Qi was extremely thick and dense.
This was a vicious circle, those who were strong rapidly became stronger while those who were weaker progressed much slower.
Lin Feng was the last one left and he needed a room too. He didn't want to stay at the top of the tower so he immediately went back down the flight of stairs. He passed by the tenth floor, ninth…. and arrived on the sixth floor. He suddenly stopped.
There were eight cultivation rooms on the sixth floor. If a room was occupied, the hole in which the users inserted purity stones would be slightly flashing.
Lin Feng walked around and stopped in a corner between two occupied rooms. He then sat down and started meditating.
A pleasant and refreshing pure Qi enveloped his body.
The sixth floor wasn't that far from the ground. Even if Lin Feng wasn't in a room, the pure Qi which was outside of an occupied room on the sixth floor was still denser than the pure Qi in a room on the tenth floor. On the tenth floor, you even had to pay three purity stones of lower quality a day to use the room. Not being in a room but sitting outside the occupied rooms on the sixth floor was thus more advantageous to his cultivation.
If students could choose a floor as they wished, they would all go to the lowest floors but it was clear to everyone that those who trained on the first floors were extremely strong. They were the only ones who had the chance to choose the rooms on the first floors. Strength always guaranteed access to the best things in the world.
But Lin Feng at this moment, was cultivating outside of a room on the sixth floor. He immediately entered in a state of meditation. He didn't think for a second that this was not a normal thing to do.
Not long after, some people passed by and saw Lin Feng practicing outside of a cultivation room. They thought that it was really strange thing to do on the lower levels of the tower. They were all very surprised by his actions.
"What' that…? Surprisingly, there's a guy meditating outside of an occupied room on the lower floors. Isn't he scared to constantly be disturbed in his cultivation?" wondered one of the people who saw Lin Feng.
Cultivation was about achieving peace and absolute serenity in one's heart. It was possible to efficiently inhale the natural Qi of heaven and earth only when that state of mind was reached.
Jealous people would not hesitate to try and disturb him.
But Lin Feng was sitting outside of an occupied room where many people could pass by. How could that not attract other people's attention? But the strangest thing was that, an insanely thick and dense pure Qi was rapidly flowing around him and penetrating into his body. Surprisingly there was nobody disturbing him.
"That guy… even if he doesn't have purity stones for his own room, he shouldn't practice there like that… what if someone disturbed him at the most crucial moment of his practice? That would be really horrible for him."
"That guy is so ignorant. If a malicious person attacked him by surprise, the consequences would be disastrous on his future cultivation."
Many people were thinking the same thing when they passed by Lin Feng and saw him sat out in the open. Actually, it was forbidden to disturb other people once they were in a room and had already started practicing. The Celestial Academy didn't accept such behaviour because they wanted to provide their students with the best cultivation environment.
But Lin Feng wasn't inside of a cultivation room at all. Instead, he had decided to study outside of a room on the sixth floor. Doing so was extremely dangerous.
However, Lin Feng was sitting next to a cultivation room. Suddenly, the pure Qi in the room next to Lin Feng was becoming weaker and weaker. Some people noticed this and were watching on with dazed expressions.
That probably meant that that person's time had elapsed. Somebody was probably going to come out and see Lin Feng sat there.
At the same time, Lin Feng opened his eyes. The pure Qi surrounding him had progressively stopped being absorbed into his body. He looked at the door of room next to him and stood up.
The crowd was surprised. They had just understood why Lin Feng had been sitting outside of the occupied room. He was not planning to stay outside of a room for a longer period while cultivating. He was just waiting for a room to be free.
But was Lin Feng going to get it?
At that moment, many people started walking towards that room with determined looks on their faces. They understandably all wanted to have access to a room on the sixth floor of the tower.

On the sixth floor, the pure Qi within the cultivation rooms was already very thick and rich.
Some people had seen Lin Feng cultivating outside of the room on the sixth floor. Initially, some of these people were actually only passing by and were heading towards higher floors but because they had found the scene fascinating, they had stopped on the sixth floor and forgotten about their previous plans. Besides, some of them were also attracted by the room which was being opened even though they didn't have the required strength to normally reserve such a room.
If they managed to get that cultivation room, they would definitely be able to boost the speed of their cultivation.
The light emitted by the pure Qi finally dulled completely inside the room. The stone door made a rumbling noise as it started to open itself. Everybody started taking steps towards the door and was fixedly staring at it as it opened.
Finally, the door opened itself and everybody stared at the silhouette coming from the room. It was a young man with a sword on his back. When he saw the crowd, a strange and enigmatic smile appeared on his face.
"You all want this room?" said the young man with the long sword. He had an incredibly evil look on his face. Nobody replied in the crowd but the expressions on their faces showed that they really wanted it.
"Well if you want it then I will give it to you." said the young man with an evil smile on his face. He moved away from the entrance and stood by the side, to allow them access to the room.
At that moment, there was nobody in the room and the door was wide open. The crowd was looking at the room as if they were a bunch of starving people looking at a mountain of food.
However instead of rushing over to the room, no one was moving at all. They were all looking at each other and didn't move towards the room.
Nobody was moving because they knew that the first to go towards the room would be attacked by everybody else. Even if it was their brother, they would attack him. Their greed was truly intense.
Nobody was willing to be the first one to move towards the room.
Of course, there were always exceptions! …and Lin Feng fearlessly started moving towards the room.
Lin Feng walked towards the room looking natural and at ease. While standing before the door, he turned around and looked at the crowd.
"I was the first one waiting here. This room is mine. You should go and find another one."
The people in the crowd were looking at him with a cold smile on their faces. The first one? What the hell does that mean to them? That means absolutely nothing to these people. In the world of cultivation, the only way to persuade people was strength. Being fair and just was not an argument these people would listen to.
Besides, he was telling them to find another room. Under the tenth floor, it was almost impossible to find empty room. What did he want them to do? Go to the top of the tower?
"You cannot have that room. Get lost." said one of them while coldly staring at Lin Feng.
"Hehe. If you want to have that room, you should first insert some purity stones." said another person with an evil smile on their face. They thought that the moment when Lin Feng would put his purity stones in the hole, that would be the best moment to attack him.
Lin Feng glanced at the crowd. Nobody was attacking him at all.
A piercingly cold Qi emerged from Lin Feng's body and his ice spirit appeared behind him.
His ice spirit didn't stop spreading in the atmosphere. Everything was turning white with a layer of frost.
That ice was way too cold and way too strong!
But it didn't scare the crowd away. Apart from a few weak students, most of them were extremely strong.
"Whoever wants this room, you are free to come and try to take it from me." said Lin Feng with a cold tone. The atmosphere suddenly became even colder!
Some sword Qi had also emerged from his body and invaded the atmosphere together with the ice Qi, emitting whistling sounds as the Qi whirled in the air.
His ice Qi was just as sharp as his sword Qi. It was almost piercing through people's skin.
Lin Feng's long hair was swaying from the wind created by his Qi being released into the atmosphere. He looked like an experienced cultivator but he also had a look of confidence on his face.
"Sword force!" the crowd was stupefied and terrified by the extremely strong and power piercingly-cold sword force which was hidden within the Qi! No wonder this young man can be so aggressive.
Even though the sword force which emerged from his body was only diffused with the strength of the third Ling Qi layer, it was extremely intense and sharp. It could even be strong enough to defeat some cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer.
Besides, his sword force coupled with his ice spirit made him very difficult to defeat even for a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer.
But in the crowd, there were quite a few people who were cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer and they were fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
All those who were of the third Ling Qi layer were leaving the crowd one after another. They had been discouraged by the combined energy which Lin Feng had been releasing.
"I tell you to attack me but you don't, I tell you to leave but you don't leave either. What the hell! How indecisive and hesitant can you people be! You guys definitely don't have the courage and the determination required when walking on the path of cultivation." said Lin Feng coldly.
He took a few steps forward and the sword Qi as well as the ice Qi emerging from his body were growing stronger and stronger.
"Eight Strikes of Desolation!" said Lin Feng while attacking with both of his hands. A mixture sword Qi and ice emerged and spread through the atmosphere. Lin Feng surprisingly was the one who had taken the initiative to attack.
The crowd moved at the same time and intercepted Lin Feng's eight strikes of desolation attacks… but at the same time Lin Feng started running forwards and a magnificent glow appeared on his sword.
Suddenly a bright light pierced through the air leaving behind only a magnificent glow.
A few people in the crowd didn't have sufficient strength to block the attack and were thrown backwards as blood was splashing all around them.
All these cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer had attacked at the same time and it had become a very chaotic scene.
"Sword of Nirvana!"
A sword Qi which created whirlwinds in the air appeared around Lin Feng's long sword. Ice Qi, sword Qi, sword force and his sword of nirvana started to spread together through the air as if they were in a complete fusion. The power moved at the speed of light with overbearing dominance.
However, the enemies' attacks were everywhere. There were too many people and their attacks were sometimes cancelling out other people's attacks even though their initial goal was to attack Lin Feng together. It had become complete chaos.
Rumbling noises unceasingly spread throughout the atmosphere and progressively became lower and lower until silence invaded the air again. They were all surprised. There were so many people and they had all attacked Lin Feng at the same time but had been unable to defeat him. Without any structure to their attacks, they had been too chaotic.
"I will give you a second chance. Is there anybody else who still wants to try for this cultivation room?" said Lin Feng while coldly glancing at the crowd.
The entire crowd was just fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Nobody dared move. It had been made completely clear that nobody wanted a one-on-one battle against Lin Feng.
"Since you don't dare to fight me any longer then don't try to steal from me again or next time you will all die." said Lin Feng who still emitted a strong cold Qi into the air. Nobody in the crowd would dare to doubt Lin Feng's words. If they tried to steal his room, he would really kill them.
Lin Feng turned around and didn't look at the crowd again. He took out three purity stones of medium quality and inserted them in the hole in the wall.
At that moment, a brilliant and radiant pure Qi appeared. There was an incredible quantity of pure Qi in the room. The entire crowd looked on with envious stares.
These people looked like they wanted to attack Lin Feng again out of pure greed, however when they recalled the previous scene they quickly calmed down.
They were all very strong cultivators. They had all broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer and Lin Feng of the third Ling Qi layer had surprisingly managed to scare them to death to the extent that none of them dared attack him again.
If that news spread, they would all lose face. Nobody would ever believe that they lost because Lin Feng of was too strong, they would rather assume that those few students of the fourth Ling Qi layer were just too weak.
Lin Feng was about to enter in the cultivation room when a cold and detached voice said something: "Wait, wait!"
Lin Feng slowly turned around and looked at the person who was talking. It was the young man with the long sword who had initially left the room.
"You seem to be forgetting somebody." said the young man with a strange and evil smile on his face which made Lin Feng have a strange smile too as if he was disgusted.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly instead of making me waste my cultivation time!" said Lin Feng aggressively.
The young man with the long sword made an evil smile and said: "I initially intended to tell you that I would give you the room only if you gave me three purity stones of medium quality but now I'll ask you for six instead. Otherwise, you'll have to give me back my room!"
Lin Feng's pupils shrank. Give him back the room?
He was demanding six purity stones of medium quality? How ridiculous.
On top of that, when Lin Feng was putting the three purity stones into the hole, that guy hadn't said a single word. He had only been waiting for the moment when Lin Feng was finished so he could attack him and steal his room.
This guy had calculated everything. No wonder he had been standing there the whole time. How shameless.
The crowd was also exasperated. That guy was really shameless. They were thinking about how horrible it would have been if they had been Lin Feng.
"What? Is there a problem." said the young man when he saw that Lin Feng wasn't replying. The young man had an evil smile on his face.
Lin Feng looked at him for a second and then said: "Now, I will advise you to run away and go as far as possible from my sight."

"Now, I will advise you to run away and go as far as possible from my sight."
A strong and intense cold Qi had accompanied Lin Feng's words. The young man's smile vanished. His facial expression became as sharp as his sword.
"I will give you one last chance. Give me twelve purity stones of medium quality." said the young man with the long sword in a cold tone. An incredible amount of sword Qi emerged from his body and started moving towards Lin Feng.
"A fight between Sword masters." Exclaimed people in the crowd. They noticed that the sword Qi released by the young man and by Lin Feng were the same. They probably both had a sword spirit, otherwise their sword Qi wouldn't be that powerful. Lin Feng had also released sword force into the atmosphere.
"Do you think that such a small amount of sword force is enough to beat me? Especially when used by someone like you." said the young man with an evil look on his face.
When the young man stopped talking, he released a gigantic amount of sword force which created whirlwinds in the air as it consumed the atmosphere. Whistling sounds spread throughout the entire atmosphere. The power of his sword Qi and sword force had enveloped everyone on the sixth floor of the tower.
The sword force was everywhere in the atmosphere. It looked like it would destroy anything in its path.
The young man had a higher cultivation level than Lin Feng. He had already broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. Just like Lin Feng, he could use forces in an extremely large scale. No wonder that he had been so arrogant and aggressive. He was confident that he would be able to take over the room from anyone within the crowd once they put their purity stones inside.
And even if Lin Feng didn't agree to hand the room over, the young man with the sword just had attack Lin Feng and make him leave.
"It's a good thing that none of us got the room after that battle." said the people in the crowd happy that Lin Feng had scared them away. Otherwise, they would have had to fight against the young man who had just release such incredible amounts of sword force. He was at the fourth Ling Qi layer and knew how to use such huge amounts of sword force. They weren't strong enough to fight against him.
It wasn't different for Lin Feng even though he had showed some skill previously. He was undoubtedly going to lose that fight. What could he possibly do against such an overbearing power?
"You are correct! Do you think that such a small amount of sword force is enough to beat me?" Lin Feng used the young man's own sentence against him. He took a step forwards and his deadly sword started moving through the air as he thrust it forward. Everybody was stupefied.
In such a situation, Lin Feng didn't even consider the possibility of giving the young man his purity stones and did not even plan to hand the room over, instead he was being even more aggressive!
The young man was stupefied as well. He hadn't managed to scare Lin Feng away with his display. Instead, he wanted a fight.
"You're following the path to your own doom. I will make it so that you are never able to pick up a sword again with your meagre skills." said the young man while smiling arrogantly.
A whistling sound spread through the atmosphere and a magnificent and radiant golden light filled the sixth floor. It looked like the rays of the morning sun. Lin Feng's deadly sword and the young man's sword collided emitting an extremely loud metallic noise.
"Golden Sword!" His sword turned gold and releases another light which was as beautiful as the morning sun.
"Golden Rain Sword!" shouted the young man. Suddenly, the dazzling light around his sword became even more dazzling and refracted through the atmosphere. There wasn't even a single corner not illuminated by the light from his sword.
"What a beautiful sword skill! I would have no chance to defeat such a masterful display." said some of the cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer in the crowd. The young man with the long sword could definitely afford to be arrogant with his level of skill.
Lin Feng was going to die. The area was too small and it was impossible to escape the light of his sword. He had nowhere to go if he wanted to dodge the attack, there was nowhere left to escape.
"I will teach you what it means to be a real sword master." said the young man with extreme arrogance and a cold smile on his face.
The young man's golden rain sword skill made rays of light fall from the atmosphere as they were raindrops. Lin Feng who was in the middle of the attack, didn't move back and looked calm as ever.
Lin Feng's sword force had already vanished without leaving trace.
"Is he giving up?" said some of the people in the crowd when they saw that Lin Feng's sword force had disappeared. They were stupefied. The young man was extremely strong, he had managed to make Lin Feng give up and stop using his sword force as if he knew the situation was hopeless.
Not only was the crowd stupefied but the young man too. Lin Feng had voluntarily stopped releasing sword force, why? The young man's arrogant smile grew even wider when he saw the force dissappear.
His arrogant smile didn't last for much longer as suddenly, he looked stunned.
An oppressive sword energy suddenly crashed onto his body and prevented him from moving.
"What's this?" the young man's pupils shrank.
The Qi was becoming more and more oppressive. The young man had the feeling that he was suffocating under the pressure. This was the result of all the sword energy in complete fusion. This required combining his sword force and sword Qi into a single power.
The young man looked at Lin Feng and saw that he looked as calm as before. The young man felt his heart sink when he realised what had happened.
"That's the sword energy…" The young man with the sword was a sword master and recognized the skill.
Lin Feng could already use a sword energy attack. That meant that he could already control almost all of the sword energy to perfection. What a genius!
The sword energy attack required an incredible amount of sword force and sword Qi. Who could resist to such an attack?
Lin Feng's attack didn't even look special but suddenly, a hole appeared in the young man's sword and suddenly it disintegrated itself.
The whole crowd was shivering at such an incredible display.
How was that possible?
Lin Feng's attack had barely been noticed by anyone. It looked so random and so normal but had been sufficient to destroy the magnificent and extremely powerful Golden rain sword!
"Retreat!" The young man's expression suddenly drastically changed. He had no time to carry another powerful attack because at that moment, Lin Feng's sword energy was already on him. He wouldn't be able to block it.
A hurricane-like vortex made of sword energy emerged from Lin Feng's body and flew through the air towards the young man. His body started shaking violently and then he heavily collapsed.
At the same time, the tip of Lin Feng's sword arrived on the young man's chest.
Everybody was astonished and shivering. They were speechless. Nothing of what they expected had happened. Lin Feng had needed a single strike to defeat such a powerful opponent. At that moment, the young man's life was in Lin Feng's hands.
"This is all the skill that you have and you dare to say that you will teach me how to use a sword?" said Lin Feng coldly. The young man was speechless.
Indeed, the young man had broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer and could use forces but Lin Feng had only broken through to the third Ling Qi layer and was already able to exercise perfect control over sword force to the extent that he was able to absorb and make it fuse with other Qi and force to make a sword energy attack. After having displaying his abilities in front of everyone, being arrogant would make him gain even more prestige within the academy.
"Your sword is not sharp. You lack too many things. You are too arrogant. While trying to do beautiful and magnificent attacks, you stray from the true path of the sword. You must focus your sword to be sharp and precise. As far as swords are concerned, you definitely an amateur." said Lin Feng in a detached tone. As far as Lin Feng was concerned, sword skills were about having more refined skills, more power, more sharpness, more speed and was not about how beautiful they looked.
"What do you intend to do with me?" said the young man as he completely ignored what Lin Feng had just said to him. He was just worried that Lin Feng would kill him.
When Lin Feng saw him, he shook his head looking saddened and said: "A moment ago, when you were aggressive and threatening me, I thought that you were a real sword master and that you were seeking enlightenment on the path of cultivation but you have disappointed me. You do not even take my advice on improving your sword skills. You are just a shameless guy who wants to stand above others using his sword. I think it would be best if you never held a sword again…"
When Lin Feng finished talking, his long sword glowed and he then immediately cut off the young man's sword hand. The young man gave a horrible shriek as he looked at the place where his hand used to be.
"How bloodthirsty and ruthless." Said people within the crowd. Fortunately, they had not made Lin Feng angry and attacked him a second time. He was terrifying!
The young man's eyes were filled with wrath and hatred. He was staring at Lin Feng, but Lin Feng just replied coldly: "No need to look at me with such eyes. You said it yourself a moment ago. You said that you would make it so I could never hold a sword again. I simply returned what you intended back onto you. If there is one person that you should blame, it is definitely yourself."
Immediately after, he turned around and entered in the cultivation room without even glancing back at the young man and the rest of the crowd.
The entire crowd had a cold sweat running down their backs. That's right, if they had exchanged places with that young man, Lin Feng could have possibly removed one of their limbs. Lin Feng didn't like being cruel but he didn't like being provoked either.

Lin Feng entered in the cultivation room and suddenly, a rumbling noise emerged. It was the noise of the stone door closing itself.
A thick and pure Qi invaded the entire room. Lin Feng was feeling extremely comfortable with the dense Qi surrounding him.
When cultivating, being exposed to pure the pure Qi of heaven and earth was extremely beneficial. The feeling was like sudden rain after a long drought. It helped cultivators consolidate the very foundations of their cultivation and strengthen their foundations as they advance.
Lin Feng released his celestial spirit and entered into meditation.
His celestial spirit would definitely help him receive a breakthrough at a much faster rate. He would be able to control every cell within his body in a much more precise way and would probably be able to break through to the next Ling Qi layer at an increased speed.
Suddenly, pure Qi started entering in Lin Feng's body as if Lin Feng was a bottomless pit swallowing all of the energy available.
Lin Feng's strength was at the third Ling Qi layer so he had absolutely no problem to inhale all the pure Qi which filled the cultivation room. It seemed like the amount of Qi he could absorb was almost endless.
The pure Qi that Lin Feng had already absorbed was circulating within his body and becoming even purer.
The Qi once purified within his body had started penetrating into Lin Feng's flesh, muscles and blood making them purify.
He could feel that his body was becoming stronger and stronger. Because of this transformation within his body he knew that he would be able to practice at much greater speeds.
Besides, the pure Qi in his muscles had also turned into a pure Qi which would increase his agility techniques in the future.
Even though Lin Feng wanted to become strong, he knew that rushing to advance would cause greater harm than good. On the path of cultivation a person required breakthroughs which one could only find with enlightenment and battles. Cultivating was only a small step on the path and life experiences are where the advancements came.
What Lin Feng didn't know that while he was cultivating some evil looking people were moving into the tower from the outside.
They moved directly towards the flight of stairs and then started climbing the floors. They finally came to a halt on the tenth floor.
"That way." said a young man in black. If Lin Feng had been there, he would have recognized the young man in black as he was the person whom he just defeated on the tenth floor.
The young man in black had threatened Lin Feng when he left the tower but Lin Feng hadn't taken him seriously. Many people would make baseless threats from the anger of being humiliated.
In the end it was actually Liu Fei who was practicing in that room.
"Here." said the young man in black while pointing at the room. The one who was accompanying the young man was about twenty years old. He looked extremely cold and evil.
"Cui Ting, open the door!" said the evil young man. Another person moved forwards. Despite the rules of the Celestial Academy, he didn't hesitate and started running towards the door at full speed and thrust his fist directly towards the door. He then collided heavily with the stone door.
The door remained closed but it was strongly shaking from the impact.
Liu Fei was in a deep state of mediation behind the door. She wouldn't have thought that she would get disturbed during this period, especially by people directly attacking her door. The noises immediately woke her from her meditation. There was a small trail of blood on the corner of her mouth because of the shock she received while in meditation.
"Get the hell out here!" said an extremely loud voice from outside. Liu Fei was furious. She wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"How impudent." Liu Fei stood up. She wanted to rush outside and crush them. One of the worst things to do in the world of cultivators was to disturb someone while they were meditating. Besides, they had woke her up in such a violent way that she had been injured in the process. Being woken up during meditation was such a shock that a cultivator could get injured if it was not done correctly. Disturbing a meditating cultivator was such an offense that the academy didn't forbid fights between students but forbade them to disturb others while they were already meditating in cultivation rooms.
But the opponents had clearly violated the rules of the academy.
"Shit, I can't do that. I can't attack them." Liu Fei who had stood up to go outside and crush them suddenly stopped. Maybe the person hadn't come for the room but had come to fight against Lin Feng.
"It must be him." Liu Fei remembered the young man in black. When leaving, he had threatened Lin Feng. He hadn't lied, he had come back.
"If I went out now, that would probably cause trouble for Lin Feng." Liu Fei thought. Besides, she didn't know who would win if they fought. In this world, only strength mattered, nothing else.
When she thought about the current situation, she sat down again and tried to meditate but obviously, it was very hard for her to continue her cultivation.
"BOOM." rumbling noises spread in the cultivation room. Liu Fei's eardrums were hurting from the constant loud bangs.
"YOU WHO'S INSIDE, COME OUT IMMEDIATELY!" shouted a loud voice from outside. Liu Fei was angry but ignored it. She kept sitting. At worst, he would keep shouting until he was too tired or until someone intervened.
The door of the cultivation room would never crack open. It was impossible for the people outside to manage to do such a thing. They were far from being strong enough.
When the enemies saw that nobody was reacting inside, they were speechless.
The young man in black moved towards the door and furiously shouted: "Were you not being very aggressive and arrogant before? Are you too scared to come outside now? Coward! Weakling!"
"Coward, weakling?" When Liu Fei heard what the young man had called Lin Feng, she was surprised and found him ridiculous. That guy had been easily defeated by Lin Feng, so he had brought people to help him… and he dared call other people cowards and weaklings? Only weak people could do such things. How ridiculous.
What would Lin Feng do if he was there?
The door was unceasingly rumbling. Liu Fei didn't react but she was very upset.
In such a small and narrow room, anybody would go crazy if they were harassed this way by other people.
After a while, the rumbling noises stopped.
The young man in black calmed down again. He wouldn't have thought that nothing would work against Lin Feng, especially the insults. He felt powerless and had no strategy left to try.
"Looks like he knows what is best for him and cowers inside the room." said the young man in black coldly.
The evil looking man then asked: "How many purity stones has he inserted?"
The young man in black replied: "Three purity stones of medium quality which is enough to practice for three months."
"Alright, I'll come back in a hundred days. What about you? Are you staying or are you coming with me?"
The young man in black didn't reply and looked hesitant.
"He could run away if you leave… but you're also probably scared that he will come out to humiliate you again…" said the evil young man as if he had guessed what the young man in black was actually terrified of facing Lin Feng alone.
The young man in black was surprised. This is exactly what he was worried about.
"Cui Ting is already at the peak of the fourth Ling Qi layer. Nobody in the third Ling Qi layer could possibly defeat him, even if they are an unrivalled genius. Coming with him was more than enough to defeat that person. Since you insisted for me to come along too, I decided to follow. However, now I am going to the first floor to practice for three months. You can ask Cui Ting if he wants to stay and wait with you." said the evil looking young man calmly.
The young man in black, didn't dare call into question what the evil young man had said. The evil looking man was also a member of his family after all. They had the same father but not the same mother and the young man in black was merely the son of a concubine. The evil looking man had already done him a great favor by coming. He had given him a great deal of face.
The young man in black looked at Cui Ting. The expression in his eyes indicated that he was begging him to stay with him.
"If Hei Mo wants me to stay, then I'll stay." said Cui Ting indifferently.
"If that is the case, just stay here for a little while then." said Hei Mo. He then turned around and left towards the first floor.
When the young man in black saw Hei Mo leave, a sad expression appeared on his face. He then turned around and looked at the stone door. He took a step forward and punched it again. It created an extremely loud rumbling noise which filled the room. Liu Fei was extremely upset as she was still inside the cultivation room. Would they never stop bothering her?
At that moment, Liu Fei's face turned deathly pale. If the young man in black kept harassing everyday for a hundred days, she would go crazy.
Besides, Lin Feng had spent three purity stones of medium quality in this room. If she was harassed everyday for a hundred days, that would be the same as being kept in captivity and tortured for a hundred days. This was a complete nightmare. She had never thought that such a thing could happen.
At that moment, the pure Qi on the sixth floor was strange. Some curious people had gone there wondering what was happening. A silhouette was emerging from a room. It was a young man, he looked calm and serene… but that calm and serene facial expression made the entire crowd shiver.
The young man's look was as sharp as a sword and he looked extremely domineering!

The young man who came out was Lin Feng.
"It goes so much faster when cultivating within a room on the sixth floor!" thought Lin Feng. A hundred days before, Meng Qing's cold Qi in the room had been such a shock for him but had helped him reach the peak of the third Ling Qi shortly after when cultivating he had broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. His current cultivation was close to reaching the fifth Ling Qi layer.
Of course, Lin Feng understood that sitting in a cultivation room for a hundred days wasn't all a cultivator had to do to advance. There were many other things a cultivator needed to learn and practice in order to become stronger. Outside of training and practice, there was control of emotions, state of mind, battle experience and life experiences, all of these were necessary to break through to a higher Qi layer. The opposite was true too though, if a cultivator only practiced outside and fought but never cultivated then he also wouldn't be able to progress. There had to be a balance.
Lin Feng raised his head, glanced at the entire crowd outside of the room and left. He was wondering how Liu Fei's training had been going since he left her.
When the crowd saw that Lin Feng was leaving, they suddenly felt relieved. However, they all looked to their right then to their left, carefully watching everybody else getting ready to fight them for the room… but that already had nothing to do with Lin Feng any longer.
While Lin Feng was walking to go to the tenth floor, the young man in black was still there waiting. He could feel that the pure Qi coming from the room was getting weaker and weaker. The young man in black had an evil smile and was getting ready to attack the one he thought was in the room. He punched the door once again and made it tremble.
Besides, the young man in black wasn't worried at all because Lin Feng probably hadn't become stronger at all. He had been punching at the door of the cultivation room every single day for a hundred days. It was impossible to practice in such conditions.
"Finally, you're about to come out." said the young man in black while waiting for Lin Feng to come out.
The door of a cultivation room opened itself automatically when the pure Qi of a room was completely consumed, otherwise people would be stuck inside forever.
The door made a loud rumbling sound and opened itself. Cui Ting and the young man in black only saw a beautiful girl come out of the room.
"It's you." said the young man in black as he looked completely stupefied. He was blankly staring at Liu Fei. He had been waiting for a hundred days and suddenly, the person who came out was Lin Feng's friend… the beautiful young girl.
Liu Fei's face was thin and pale. She looked so pitiful and was completely exhausted… but her facial expression also revealed fury. She was staring at the young man in black and said: "How impudent."
"Impudent?"
The young man in black looked at her with an evil expression. He would have never thought that the person that he had been waiting for three months was the wrong one… No wonder the person inside hadn't reacted to his insults. If it had been Lin Feng, he probably would have come out.
"Since it's you and not your friend, I will take you with me. You will have to suffer in his place." said the young man in black with a perverted look. He was fixedly staring at Liu Fei's body and found her extremely alluring. He also thought that her angry expression made her even more attractive. He felt quite excited while looking at her.
"Hehe, if he gave you the room, it means that you must be very intimate. If I have a taste of you, he will definitely go insane." said the young man in black with the same evil expression on his face.
Cui Ting glanced at him. He really despised the young man in black. He was definitely the son of a concubine, incapable of controlling himself when facing a beautiful woman. What a humiliation for Hei Mo to share the same blood as this degenerate.
But Cui Ting said nothing. After all, Hei Mo and he still shared the same blood. He couldn't attack him even if he wanted to.
When Liu Fei heard what the young man in black said, she looked disgusted.
"How impudent… disgusting."
"You already said that once but because you like those words so much, I will show you what it's like to be impudent. That cultivation room is quite big, isn't it? It will be perfect to accommodate the both of us. When your friend comes back he will see us both in an embrace, loving each other, it will be a wonderful moment." said the young man in black with a huge smile on his face. Cui Ting was stunned.
At that moment, the young man in black felt an extreme chill run down his spine. A freezing cold Qi surrounded his body and applied heavy pressure.
He turned his head and saw Lin Feng who was releasing the strong Qi.
The young man in black had been looking forward to seeing Lin Feng but at that moment when he was standing before him, the young man in black remained speechless.
Lin Feng was slowly walking towards Liu Fei. When he passed the young man in black, it seemed like he didn't intend to take notice of him at all.
However, Lin Feng simply walked past him and with his back facing the young man in black, he said: "Asshole."
The young man in black could feel his hatred boiling inside his heart. His heart was filled with wrath and hatred. Lin Feng was humiliating him too much, not even looking at him and insulting him like that. He wanted to kill Lin Feng but he didn't dare attack him… he knew that he wasn't strong enough. He was just hoping that Cui Ting would be able to do it for him.
"Bastard. I will make you pay for your hundred days worth of crimes." said Liu Fei to Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn't know what she had gone through. Her eyes were filled with hatred and suffering.
Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei with a wry smile on his face. He hadn't never thought that the young man in black would be so shameless.
Lin Feng stretched out his hand and gently caressed Liu Fei's face, he wanted to let her know that everything would be alright now he was here.
When Liu Fei felt Lin Feng's hand on her face, she felt her legs go weak and she had slightly lost her balance. Lin Feng was being so tender and affectionate towards her.
The sadness and anger she was feeling suddenly were replaced by tender warmth.
Liu Fei's mother had died when she was still young. Her father had been fighting in every corner of the country and didn't have time to take care of her. At that moment, she thought that Lin Feng was being incredibly gentle and caring towards her. She felt the warmth she had been longing for, her whole life.
"I'll handle this myself." said Lin Feng to Liu Fei who was feeling nervous at the current situation. She quickly started to rearrange her messy hair when she realised what she must have looked like.
Lin Feng smiled and immediately turned around.
The warm smile on his face suddenly vanished and was replaced with a piercingly cold glare.
"This guy is strong." thought Cui Ting while looking at Lin Feng. He then moved closer to the young man in black. He wanted to prevent him from fighting against Lin Feng whose face was filled with killing intent.
"I don't really enjoy dirtying my sword with the blood of people like you, but since you have insisted, you will be the first person I kill at the Celestial Academy." At that moment, Lin Feng slowly unsheathed his soft sword. It was diffusing a sharp silver glow.
When the young man in black heard Lin Feng, he was terrified and started moving backwards. He then hid behind Cui Ting.
"What a pathetic little boy. You're truly a piece of shit!" said Liu Fei to the young man in black when she saw that he was hiding behind Cui Ting.
How had the situation become like this? He had been harassing Liu Fei, thinking that it was Lin Feng for three months… and had then he tried to humiliate Liu Fei to make Lin Feng angry… but now that Lin Feng had arrived, he was scared to death.
When he heard Liu Fei's words, he felt extremely humiliated but didn't reply. He hated his own actions as well. Why was he so scared when in front of Lin Feng?
"You cannot kill him." said Cui Ting who was standing in front of the young man with black.
"He will die." said Lin Feng taking a step forward. He released an incredible amount of sword force which created whirlwinds in the air, accompanied by whistling sounds as it pierced the atmosphere. The sword force was also filled with an extreme cold.
"Sword force." Cui Ting's pupils shrank. Not only was that guy using sword force but the young man in black had been wrong. He had said that Lin Feng was of the third Ling Qi layer but it seemed like he was at least the fourth Ling Qi layer.
"What a piece of trash!" thought Cui Ting about the young man in black. He was still very confident in his abilities as people who could defeat him were not numerous… but he knew that it didn't mean he was invincible.
Cui Ting didn't feel like fighting against a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer who could use sword force. He was sure that he had no chance of coming out alive if he was to fight against Lin Feng.
The difference in power between a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer who could use sword force and one who couldn't was too huge.
"Get lost." Lin Feng who was dragging the tip of his soft sword against the solid tower floor which diffused a sharp metallic noise. He looked extremely murderous at this moment.
Cui Ting could feel that the sword force was growing even more intense. He was persuaded that he wouldn't be able to fight against Lin Feng. Lin Feng had released such an incredible amount of sword force already. He was terrified and wondering how a cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer could already control so much force to perfection.
"I am not as strong as you and I cannot protect him. But you still cannot kill him." said Cui Ting remaining motionless. He was nervously staring at Lin Feng.
The young man in black was stupefied. Cui Ting was unable to protect him? He wasn't as strong as him?
The young man in black was furious.
"Today, nobody can save him." said Lin Feng while a freezing Qi emerged from his body. He stepped forward and thrust his sword through the air.
Cui Ting, when he felt the power of the attack, he couldn't help but sigh.
Cui Ting immediately moved aside. He knew that he would never be able to resist the power of that attack so the only thing he could do was dodge.
Even though Hei Mo wouldn't agree, Cui Ting also knew that Hei Mo wouldn't want both of them die together, especially if he knew what the situation was so dire. He probably wouldn't blame him for dodging such a powerful attack.
Cui Ting moved aside and the young man in black was at the mercy of Lin Feng's sword. The young man in black had the feeling that his death was growing closer.

When the young man in black felt Lin Feng's cold Qi moving towards him, he couldn't help but shiver. Cold sweat was flowing down his back.
"This is the Celestial Academy, students can fight but they cannot kill!" said the young man in black. He felt like he was about to faint. He was scared to death.
"I know." said Lin Feng coldly. The young man in black felt some relief on hearing this. It gave him hope.
"But I also know that it is forbidden to disturb other people while they are in a cultivation room… and what have you been doing for the last three months?" said Lin Feng which made the young man in black fall back into his panicked state.
"I admit that I violated the rules but the consequences are not important when compared with killing a student. Killing a student is completely different."
"Are you trying to scare me?" said Lin Feng. The young man in black was growing more terrified with each passing moment. His forehead was covered with sweat.
"Besides, the consequences are not important?" said Lin Feng while glancing at the poor and exhausted Liu Fei. He then added: "Well, that's your opinion. As I see it, the consequences of you having harassed her for three months are much more serious than taking your pathetic life."
"You cannot kill him." repeated Cui Ting which attracted Lin Feng's attention. Lin Feng slightly turned around and looked at him.
"You cannot kill him, otherwise, you'll regret it." Said Cui Ting.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to disappoint you. I never regret anything that I do." Lin Feng's hand continued to move and Cui Ting quickly shouted: "Wait, wait!"
"Do you have anything else to add?" said Lin Feng.
"He is Hei Mo's little brother, if you kill him, Hei Mo will never let you off."
"HEI MO!" said some people who had come over to see what was happening. They were stupefied. He was surprisingly Hei Mo's brother.
Yuan Shan was in the crowd as well and was stupefied like everybody else. He had also heard about Hei Mo.
"Lin Feng, Hei Mo is one of the ten best students of the Celestial Academy! He almost never practices here and when he does, it's on the ground floor!" warned Yuan Shan from the middle of the crowd. Indeed, Hei Mo wasn't someone one wanted to fight.
A light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The young man in black looked like he was relieved.
"Indeed, I'm Hei Mo's little brother. If you kill me, he will definitely kill you." Said the young man in black proudly.
"Moron." said Lin Feng when he heard the young man's threat. He raised his sword and then carefully slit the young man's throat from ear to ear. At that moment, everyone was completely stunned and shaking in fear.
Nobody had thought that Lin Feng, after hearing that he was related to Hei Mo, would actually dare to kill his little brother without the slightest hesitation.
The young man in black hadn't thought that his death would come so quickly. At the moment when Lin Feng's sword penetrated his throat, he was still hoping that Lin Feng would retreat on hearing his brothers name.
His last thought was that he hated himself for acting so foolishly. He hated himself for having provoked Lin Feng. He didn't hate Lin Feng to such an extent and Lin Feng didn't hate him, there was no great enmity between them until he had caused it. He had thought that dying for what had happened was too grave a punishment and he truly felt that Lin Feng wouldn't do it. He had been stupid until the end.
"What a cruel and heartless person." sighed Cui Ting. He hadn't thought that Lin Feng would kill him after hearing about Hei Mo.
Lin Feng took out a rag and wiped the blade of his sword. Then, he put it back in its sheath and looked at Cui Ting.
"If he hadn't been Hei Mo's brother, he would have never dared to be that audacious and violate the rules of the academy, am I right?" said Lin Feng coldly pointing at the young man's corpse lying on the floor.
Cui Ting was surprised and then nodded. Without Hei Mo's reputation the young man in black would never have behaved in such a way.
"Therefore, the one who caused this is actually Hei Mo… so it was actually Hei Mo who broke the rules of the academy. Because of him, my friend was constantly harassed day and night for a hundred days… but Hei Mo will not bear the responsibility for that, am I right?" said Lin Feng. Cui Ting suddenly came to a realisation. He now understood why Lin Feng had actually killed the young man in black.
It was not that Lin Feng hadn't thought about Hei Mo when killing his little brother, it was actually the exact opposite. Lin Feng just didn't think of Hei Mo as someone above the rules, he only thought that because of him, Liu Fei had been harassed for a hundred days without rest. That's why he killed the young man in black. It was a warning. He wanted to tell everyone in the academy that anyone who assaulted him or his friends would pay with their life!
"Let's go." said Lin Feng to Liu Fei. Liu Fei, Yuan Shan and Jing Yun all started leaving with Lin Feng. Cui Ting and the young man's dead body were just left behind as they walked away.
"What's your name?" asked Cui Ting.
"Lin Feng." Replied Lin Feng as he walked away.
"Lin Feng…" whispered Cui Ting, he would make sure to remember that name. The rest of the crowd also took note of his name. Who could forget the name of someone who had dared to provoke Hei Mo?
After Lin Feng and the others left. The tenth floor was still filled with people. There were more and more people gathering at the location. There was a corpse on the tenth floor. Surprisingly, there was someone who had dared to kill someone in the cultivation tower. They didn't know who could be so audacious. At that moment, an evil looking young man was walking towards the tenth floor.
The evil looking young man arrived on the tenth floor and looked at the corpse on the ground. His facial expression didn't change. He still looked incredibly calm as he looked at the scene. The crowd who was surrounding that evil looking young man backed away from him and made sure to give him enough space. They were looking at him as if he was a deity walking amongst them. It was Hei Mo who had climbed the tower looking for his little brother.
"Who killed him?" asked Hei Mo with an indifferent tone. He even looked calm which scared the crowd to death.
"Lin Feng." replied Cui Ting and then added: "He's much too strong for me to fight against."
Hei Mo remained silent and looked at the corpse. He then said: "Make him come to my clan… and double check his name. Make sure you got the name correct." When Hei Mo finished talking, he turned around and slowly walked towards the flight of stairs. He then left the tower without another word.
When Lin Feng and the others arrived in the palace where they lived, He let out a deep sigh and got ready to go back to his living quarters.
"Don't get too impatient to go and find the other one." said a quiet voice next to him.
Lin Feng was surprised. What was said sounded incredibly strange. Lin Feng had a strange smile on his face as he looked at Liu Fei with a blank expression.
"Are you angry?" asked Lin Feng while smiling and gazing deeply into her eyes.
"Why would I be angry?" replied Liu Fei coldly while avoiding Lin Feng's eyes.
Lin Feng had a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "Since you are not angry, why can I feel that there is bitterness in your voice?"
"Maybe because you have dirty ears and can't hear properly." replied Liu Fei. What was that guy's problem staring at her like that?
"Is that so?" said Lin Feng while scratching his head. He then smiled and said: "We just came back from training, obviously we would go back to our respective living quarters… and you seem to think that it is because I was impatient to see Meng Qing? Could it be that you want me to come to your room?"
"Stop dreaming!" said Liu Fei while stamping her feet. That guy really had mental problems! She then immediately left and went straight to her room.
Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei and smiled. Even though she was often in a bad mood, she was really adorable and cute when she hid her feelings like that.
Lin Feng didn't rush back to his room within his living quarters and rather knocked at Meng Qing's door.
"Come in." said Meng Qing coldly. Lin Feng immediately entered. He saw Meng Qing who was sitting on the bed. She said: "Oh, you came back."
Meng Qing hadn't covered her face with her fine veil. Her entire face was visible to Lin Feng which made him sigh with exasperation. How could the creator of all things, create such an unrivalled beauty? That was too cruel.
"In the previous world, even the richest man in the world would have given up his entire fortune for this beauty." thought Lin Feng. While in his presence, Meng Qing wasn't as cold as before. If he could make her smile once every day then he would have a wonderful life.
"What happened on that day… has it happened again?" asked Lin Feng calmly while walking towards Meng Qing's bed.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng, slightly shook her hand and said softly: "Have I not told you about this? It happens every six months."

Once every six months! Poor Meng Qing, having to go through such hellish torture every six months. Why did she have to endure such horror?
"If it happens again in the future you must tell me! I can help you. I don't want you to suffer like this, now that I am here." said Lin Feng to Meng Qing. His snake spirit could swallow all the cold Qi. Besides, his snake would grow stronger the more Qi it consumed.
His snake spirit was so mysterious… eating the Qi of others was not something which normally occurred.
"You haven't told me yet what really happened on that day." said Meng Qing while staring at Lin Feng. She had suffered from exhaustion and had fallen sound asleep on Lin Feng's chest. It was such an embarrassing moment that she had forgotten what had happened before that.
"Well, you first tell me where that cold Qi comes from?" said Lin Feng.
"I was born with it." replied Meng Qing which surprised Lin Feng. She was born with it?
Lin Feng had already heard that some people were sometimes born with diseases or natural abilities but Meng Qing's one was horrible.
"Now, you tell me." Said Meng Qing.
Lin Feng smiled. He then released his snake spirit appeared behind his back. The little snake had already become a huge snake. It curled up on Lin Feng's shoulders, its eyes made it look like a real snake rather than a spirit. Its two eyes were staring deeply at Meng Qing.
"Huh?" Meng Qing was stupefied when she saw the snake. She looked incredibly anxious.
"It's my spirit, I still don't know what kind of snake it is. It swallowed all of the cold Qi that you released last time and gave me the power of that Qi." said Lin Feng.
Meng Qing looked stunned and she was blankly staring at Lin Feng's snake spirit.
But very quickly, she looked as cold and indifferent as always. Meng Qing then slightly nodded and said: "No wonder, it's an extremely strong spirit."
Lin Feng slightly nodded while looking deep in thought and said: "It should be a snake spirit but it is not clear to me yet what kind of snake it is."
"You'll know at some point." replied Meng Qing.
"I hope so." replied Lin Feng while nodding and said: "I am going to head back, if you need anything in the future then come and get me right away."
Meng Qing nodded. Lin Feng stood up and then put his hand on Meng Qing's head. He caressed her hair for a few seconds which made her body slightly tremble.
Lin Feng turned around and left. Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng's back and frowned.
"That's… a snake spirit?" whispered Meng Qing.
She had the sensation that it was a beast spirit but not necessarily a snake spirit… she knew there was something special but couldn't describe what it was. There was a spirit which strangely looked like Lin Feng's spirit but it had nine heads… and it wasn't a beast spirit but a dragon spirit!
It was early in the morning and there was not a single cloud over what seemed to be a boundless area.
In the Celestial Academy, there were a lot of people gossiping about recent events.
It seemed like most of the people were mentioning the same words very often in their conversations: cultivation tower and Hei Mo.
At that moment, two people were walking on the biggest road of the Celestial Academy and were talking amongst themselves.
"I heard that his name is Lin Feng. At the registration day, he humiliated two students of the academy: Zuo Qiu and Bai Ze. His goal was to make the wealthy and noble cultivators lose face." said one of them.
The news of what had happened at the cultivation tower was already widely spread in the academy because Lin Feng had broken the rules and killed one of the students.
The news was spreading at the speed of light, not only because Lin Feng had broken the rules but also because it has to do with one of the best students of the academy, Hei Mo!
Any rumor relating to the ten best students of the academy spread quickly. Even though Hei Mo wasn't at the top in the ranking, he was still extremely powerful.
"Who told you about what happened at the registration day? He must be quite proud and arrogant if he humiliated the wealthy and noble students… but this time he has made a big mistake, I mean Cui Ting had already warned him that he was Hei Mo's little brother. He surprisingly still dared to kill him. That's a humiliation for Hei Mo. Lin Feng will definitely regret what he did. He could never think of defeating Hei Mo."
"You're right. One of the ten best students in the academy… Lin Feng has run out of luck." said the other person in the same tone as if they were proud of their analysis of the situation.
At the same time in a distant location, two silhouettes were drawing a crowd of people's attention. Suddenly, many people gathered and started following the silhouettes.
These people were about a hundred meters away from the two people discussing. When the two people who were discussing, saw one of the silhouettes in the crowd, they couldn't help but be stupefied.
"Hei Mo!" Hei Mo was surprisingly in the crowd.
"There are so many people, something must be going on." said the two people who were looking at them.
Hei Mo wasn't walking fast but he looked determined. Not so long after, they arrived near the palace where the first category students were living.
At that moment, a silhouette was slowly coming out of the palace.
"Oh no… Lin Feng… that's the guy from the cultivation tower." said Yuan Shan when he saw the crowd coming towards them. Cui Ting was walking next to an evil looking young man. Yuan Shan obviously remembered him from the events at the tower.
Lin Feng didn't stop walking. Immediately after, the two sides were facing each other. Lin Feng first saw Cui Ting and then slowly turned his head towards the evil looking young man. He then said: "Hei Mo I presume."
Hei Mo coldly looked at Lin Feng and then glanced at Wen Ao Xue, ignoring Lin Feng.
"I want his life." said Hei Mo indifferently looking incredibly calm. But he wasn't talking to Lin Feng as Lin Feng's life was protected by Wen Ao Xue.
Wen Ao Xue just smiled with his incredibly beautiful face which made him look like a beautiful girl. He then calmly shook his head and said: "He's my friend."
"This is a problem now. In the cultivation tower, he killed my little brother after hearing my name. He made me lose face. You shouldn't get involved in this matter." said Hei Mo who, strangely, wasn't discussing that matter with Lin Feng but with Wen Ao Xue.
Lin Feng had a strange look in his eyes as he was staring at Wen Ao Xue. Wen Ao Xue, who was more beautiful than some girls, was probably an extremely talented individual.
"Well, I heard that your little brother broke the rules of the academy first and then because he was too weak, went and asked other people to help him. The result is that he died. The only thing to blame is his own weakness."
"He can only blame his own weakness but Lin Feng is still new here, he only recently joined the academy. After such a short time he has made many people lose face. He also humiliated me. He must die, don't you agree?" said Hei Mo which stupefied everybody.
Hei Mo wanted to kill Lin Feng, not because Lin Feng had killed his little brother, but because Lin Feng had humiliated him when he killed his brother after hearing Hei Mo's name. In other words, even though Lin Feng had heard Hei Mo's name and his reputation, he had still dared to kill his little brother. Hei Mo only wanted to kill him to save face and nothing more.
For these kinds of people, face was the most important thing in their life, it was even more important than Lin Feng's life.
"You also know that he's new here… so would you, Hei Mo, dare to threaten a new student? Wouldn't you be ashamed and lose face?"
"He has committed crimes which he must be punished for… and the only price to pay is his life." said Hei Mo who ignored Wen Ao Xue's words. He then said coldly and indifferently: "You can protect him now but I don't think that you are going to stay with him forever. If you are not with him at some point, I will easily kill him. Who could stop me?" When he finished talking, he stopped looking at Wen Ao Xue and looked at Lin Feng.
"You are indeed very smart and you must be very happy about how things have played out… you're a smart little boy but have you ever thought that your actions have lead to your own death?" said Hei Mo coldly and then added: "Or do you really think that you can hide behind Wen Ao Xue your entire life?"
"Are you done talking?" said Lin Feng coldly to Hei Mo when he saw that the latter wouldn't stop talking. Lin Feng's face was expressionless as if one of the ten best students of the academy was unable to make him feel scared or anxious.
When Hei Mo heard what Lin Feng said, He smiled coldly. His smile was as sharp as a blade. He then said: "I have finished talking, now what?"

Now what?
Lin Feng nodded and said coldly: "Now, if you're done talking, I also have a few things to tell you. Your little brother was a piece of trash. He did not have other people in his eyes. He attempted to steal my cultivation room so I had to make him leave, but because he was your little brother, he thought that he was invincible. He then broke the rule of the academy and harassed my friend every single day for three months with your help. He humiliated her and hindered her training. Was I wrong to kill him?" said Lin Feng while looking at Hei Mo.
"You killed him… you were indeed in the right, but…" said Hei Mo who wanted to keep talking but was interrupted by Lin Feng: "You already said that you have finished talking, so please, SHUT UP!"
"Huh?" the crowd was stupefied. That guy was really aggressive and suddenly dared to tell Hei Mo to shut up. He only thought that he could behave like this because Wen Ao Xue was next to him!
Hei Mo was stupefied but immediately said: "Alright, continue."
"You also said it yourself, I was right to kill him. Your little brother broke the rules of the academy, it was obviously because you had allowed him to do so. So because you allowed your little brother to attempt to humiliate me, you have indirectly caused me to lose face. When he wanted to kill me, you were happy to provide your support. So first you have made me lose face and then you're getting angry because you lost face when things did not go as planned. Could it be that you are so stupid that you think I would willingly lose face to you because you are strong?" said Lin Feng with a strict tone making the whole crowd stupefied yet again.
That's right. These types of people could only see things from their perspective and couldn't understand other people's point of view.
"Even if what you say is true, then what?" said Hei Mo with a detached tone.
"No then what, I've met many people who thought they were above the rest of the world. I have always shown them how foolish and ridiculous they are." said Lin Feng coldly. He then continued: "You must think that I am only saying this because Wen Ao Xue is here. However, whether Wen Ao Xue was here or not, you do not have the required power to kill me."
"Don't try and refute what I am saying. You are free to try and kill me at anytime and you will see what happens when you make an attempt on my life. Just like you said, when someone commits a crime there must be punishment, and sometimes the price is your life." said Lin Feng who sounded incredibly threatening.
Some people in the crowd frowned. Not only was Lin Feng saying that whether Wen Ao Xue was there or not, Hei Mo couldn't kill him but he was also saying that Hei Mo might even die for attempting it.
But Yuan Shan had no doubts concerning what Lin Feng had just said. He knew about the mysterious girl protecting Lin Feng. He had seen her power first hand.
Hei Mo was stupefied and said coldly: "You have a very high opinion about yourself."
"I have never had a high opinion about myself and I have also never been arrogant or thought that I was above anyone else. I'm not like you who dares to talk about others lives as if they were already within my hands. Isn't that itself extremely arrogant? Do you think that you stand high above everyone else in the world? I would like to ask you a question, what Qi layer have you broken through to?"
Arrogant? High above the rest of the world?
Hei Mo smiled coldly and said: "I could hold you between my two fingers and easily kill you. I have broken through to the Sixth Ling Qi layer…"
"And you dare be that arrogant. You are ridiculous. You must be joking." interrupted Lin Feng while laughing loudly. He then said: "You have only broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer and you dare to speak about that as if you were one of the best cultivators in the world. Even saying that you could hold me between your fingers and kill me. You must be joking! Having broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer is nothing extraordinary. How ridiculous."
"The world is huge, there are millions and millions of geniuses… and you dare talk about yourself as if you are special and others are beneath you. I want to tell you something: you are a little mouse who can only see an inch."
"What powerful words!"
"What sharp arguments!"
Said some of the people within the crowd while looking at Hei Mo who was being verbally harassed by Lin Feng. Hei Mo had indeed only broken through to the sixth Ling Qi layer which wasn't considered as an extremely strong cultivator in the outside world but in the academy, nobody would provoke him. Almost nobody could defeat him. Even some students of the seventh Qi layer wouldn't want to fight against him.
But, saying that the sixth Ling Qi layer was already amazingly high on the path of cultivation was obviously an exaggeration.
His heart was as ugly as his personality.
Lin Feng stopped for a few seconds and continued: "Of course, you probably think that you are amazing because you are amongst the ten best students of the academy but you are a tiny insignificant person in the world of cultivation. So now I want to ask, in three months time I want to challenge you to a life and death battle, do you dare to accept?" said Lin Feng.
The entire crowd was astonished.
Lin Feng actually dared challenge one of the ten best students of the academy, Hei Mo. He even dared to challenge him to a life and death battle.
Lin Feng had just joined the academy, he didn't know what he was doing.
"He definitely doesn't know how powerful Hei Mo is."
"That little boy is bringing about his own destruction. He has gone insane."
The crowd was making various comments about Lin Feng. Nobody believed that Lin Feng could win. They all thought that he was acting recklessly and had lost his sense of reason.
Even Lin Feng's friends were astonished and didn't believe what he had just said. They knew that Lin Feng was strong but he would definitely never be able to defeat Hei Mo. That was insanity.
Wen Ao Xue was looking at Lin Feng. It was obvious from his face that he didn't think Lin Feng could ever win the battle.
Of course, Lin Feng was humiliating Hei Mo by challenging him.
A student who had just joined the academy had humiliated his brother, humiliated him a few times and was then challenging him to a life and death battle. He had completely lost all face.
Hei Mo was sure that everything that was happening would eventually spread through the academy and he knew that the other ranked students would soon hear about it.
At that moment, Hei Mo's evil face looked even more evil and sinister.
He had burning flames in his eyes. He looked hideously terrifying.
"Do you think that you have completely lost all face?" asked Lin Feng while smiling. He then said: "You are losing face again, but what about me? Especially since you have brought so many people with you. Have you never thought that I would lose face too?"
"So, you don't need to look at me that way. If you want to regain your reputation, I will see you in three months. Show everybody that you, Hei Mo, can afford being arrogant because you truly are an amazing cultivator."
Hei Mo looked furious, he looked at Lin Feng and said: "In three months, you will understand how pitiful and pathetic you really are."
When he finished talking, Hei Mo turned around and left.
The entire crowd was astonished. Hei Mo had accepted the challenge.
Three months later, he would make Lin Feng regret that challenge forever.
The crowd first look at Hei Mo's back in the distance and then looked at Lin Feng again. They were terribly excited and couldn't wait to see that battle.
How could Lin Feng have challenged him to such a battle? What strength did he rely on to dare and challenge him to a life and death battle?
In three months time, Hei Mo would be much stronger and would regain his lost face.
Three months would pass very quickly. It was not a very long time in the world of cultivation.
"Let's go." said Lin Feng looking at his friends. They then started walking towards the exit of the academy.
Wen Ao Xue looked at Lin Feng and said: "Hei Mo is at the peak of the sixth Ling Qi layer. Even some students of the seventh Ling Qi layer don't dare to challenge him to a battle. Almost nobody can defeat him in the academy… and what level are you? the fourth or the fifth Ling Qi layer… you could never defeat him. Besides, Hei Mo is at the peak of the sixth Ling Qi layer and will soon breakthrough. It will be extremely hard for you to defeat as he is now let alone when he advances."
Lin Feng smiled. He obviously knew that it wouldn't be easy. He then said in a detached tone: "I needed to quickly become stronger than anyone else."
Wen Ao Xue nodded. He didn't really understand what Lin Feng meant. What did that have to do with Hei Mo?
Lin Feng saw Wen Ao Xue's facial expression and said: "Strength often comes when you are in danger. You have to risk your life to quickly become stronger.
When he heard Lin Feng, Wen Ao Xue was stunned. Risk one's life to become stronger? Lin Feng was an extremely scary individual.

Everybody in the academy quickly learned that Lin Feng had challenged Hei Mo to a life and death battle.
The military students were not the only ones who had heard the news but people who were studying political strategies as well as the assassin students had also heard about it.
People were starting to pay attention to Lin Feng. Who exactly was he? He had appeared from nowhere and had been accepted in the academy with all the privileges but without the disadvantages. The vice-principal personally went to invite him, why?
As people were trying to understand who Lin Feng really was, they were stupefied to see that the pieces of information they found about him were contradictory. It seemed like Lin Feng had a high status in society but then again it seemed like he was of a low social class… and it was like that for all the information which could be found. There were many contradictions when it came to him as if he had been artificially created and as if someone was trying to make everybody confused to what his real identity was.
If it was really the result of someone's external actions, that would be truly terrifying. That would be like delegating all the power to Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng knew nothing about these things that were happening.
Yuan Shan and Wen Ao Xue were not at the academy.
At that moment, there was a huge wall was in front of them. That huge wall was surrounding a small town. That was a small town within the Imperial City.
The wall in front of their eyes was so wide that they had the impression that it was endless.
"Let's go inside." said Wen Ao Xue to the others. They started walking towards the big gate of the small city.
"Please let us be on our way." said Wen Ao Xue while handing a purity stone to the entrance guards. Surprisingly, it was a purity stone of medium quality.
Besides, Lin Feng noticed that it wasn't only Wen Ao Xue who had to pay a tax but everyone who wanted to enter.
Very quickly, a sea of faces appeared in front Lin Feng and the others. The colourful market was vast and bustling.
"What's this?" Lin Feng's pupils shrank. The scene reminded Lin Feng of an antique market.
"This is the busiest part of the Imperial City. Whatever you need or whatever you want to do, you can come here and you'll find it. Everything is possible here." explained Wen Ao Xue to Lin Feng.
Liu Fei, who was standing next to Lin Feng, seemed excited and said: "I've already heard about that place but I've never come here before. It seems even more lively than I had imagined. No wonder that the Imperial City is so wealthy, I now understand why."
Lin Feng nodded and Wen Ao Xue was smiling.
"Lin Feng, you can find many beautiful women here with whom you can have lots of fun." said Wen Ao Xue with a smile on his face. Lin Feng was stunned and Liu Fei looked furious. Liu Fei's look made Lin Feng shiver. He tried to smile but it looked incredibly awkward. Why had Wen Ao Xue said such a thing?
"Besides, you can come to this district very easily as long as you have enough purity stones. You can buy weapons and even people, for example you can get pure virgins here as well as slaves. You can also find some really valuable martial skills and agility techniques." said Wen Ao Xue.
Lin Feng was stupefied. Weapons, women, slaves, skills and techniques… Nobody could resist to the temptation of obtaining such things. No wonder that this place was so full of people.
So as long as one had enough purity stones, one could do get almost anything they wanted here. There was nothing that was not for sale here.
"We should come to the Market District all the time." thought Lin Feng. Amongst the things that Wen Ao Xue had listed, Lin Feng was interested in many of them.
For example, slaves!!
"Of course, a true cultivator wouldn't go the first place I spoke about, where you can go to enjoy women… Only wealthy yet degenerated and depraved people go to such places. Genuine cultivators go to other districts, one is the Market District and the other one is a place where the military students of our academy always go." said Wen Ao Xue and then stopped keeping Lin Feng in suspense.
"What district?" asked Lin Feng who was obviously very curious. What is the place where the military students of the academy always go?
"A place full of people which is often a horrible place where one's mind cannot be at peace, but such a place is a place to train and gain experience: it's a battle arena."
"You're talking about Prisoner Arena!" suddenly said Liu Fei.
"Indeed, it is precisely the Prisoner Arena. It is such a crazy place that even some military students of our academy don't dare to go there." said Wen Ao Xue and then added: "Lin Feng, that place would be perfect for you. If you want to quickly become stronger then this is the place to go."
"Prisoner Arena…" whispered Lin Feng. He then asked: "What kind of place is The Prisoner Arena?"
"The Prisoner Arena? Well, you have to go and see for yourself." said Wen Ao Xue while laughing. They immediately started walking. Lin Feng was extremely curious at what this battle arena would be like.
The marketplace was like a city within the city. It was extremely vast and there was no end in sight. They were walking fast but even after half an hour had passed, they still hadn't reached the Prisoner Arena.
But at that moment Lin Feng heard a multitude of voices. Suddenly, in front of him, there was a huge gathering of people. He could only see their backs but couldn't see what they were looking at.
Lin Feng and his friends started to move closer to look at what was happening. The sounds of the voices were getting louder and louder. That place was huge and shaped like a ring. It was gigantic. In the middle of that gigantic ring shaped stadium, there were multiple different craters. All of them had flights of stairs to go down or come back up.
"Lin Feng, this is the Prisoner Arena. As you can see there are hundreds of thousands of people within the arena. It's like this every day, all day." said Wen Ao Xue pointing at the sea of people.
"Hundreds of thousands of people!" said Lin Feng amazed. That was a huge amount! Besides, it was like that every single day! It was almost oppressive and actually hard to imagine!
They then moved down the stairs and looked at the crowd in the distance.
The crater was so deep that it looked like a gorge and there were many viewing platforms.
In the middle of the middle of the canyon, there was a huge silver cage full of silhouettes.
"Prisoners!" Lin Feng progressively understood why that place was called the Prisoner Arena… It reminded him of the previous world in ancient Rome where aristocrats used to watch slaves and wild beasts fight in the coliseum.
But the scene before Lin Feng's eyes at that moment was much more impressive. It made him shiver from head to toe as if his soul was shaking with excitement.
"In that cage, there is a battle every day, either a cultivator versus a ferocious beast or a cultivator versus another cultivator… and the only way to be freed is to kill the opponent during your battle." said Wen Ao Xue to Lin Feng. That was a terrifying premise. No wonder some people had chosen to keep their distance from this place.
Every battle resulted in the death of either a cultivator or a ferocious beast.
"Every year, some students of our academy die here. The number of corpses is always increasing." said Wen Ao Xue while looking at the gigantic cage. He then slowly said: "There are only the strongest and the most courageous cultivators who would dare to go in there… They are true fighters… because in that cage, the conditions are the same as on a real battlefield."

In the middle of that cage, the winners live on and the losers die.
It was indeed like on a battlefield.
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, cultivators were respected and admired. Cultivators took cultivation very seriously as it was a way of life. That is why they didn't hesitate to risk their lives to improve their cultivation abilities. The path of cultivation was full of personal challenges and determination was the key to success.
"What are the rules of the Prisoner Arena?" asked Lin Feng.
"The one in charge of the cage declares who will fight against whom. Of course, he always matches people with other cultivators or ferocious beasts of a similar level, otherwise the battles would be meaningless slaughter." explained Wen Ao Xue.
Lin Feng slightly nodded. If one wasn't assigned to fight against someone of the same level, many people wouldn't dare to enter the cage at the risk of fighting someone much stronger."
"By the way, if you lose a battle in the cage then death is inevitable but if you win, you can get a massive amount of purity stones. That is why many of our fellow disciples come here to fight and then go back to the cultivation tower at the academy, use their purity stones and come back here again etc. That enables them to boost their cultivation speed to the extreme… of course it is also extremely dangerous."
"Challenging death over and over again is, indeed, often the best way to become stronger. In dangerous situation, death and fortune coexist." said Wen Ao Xue sounding solemn.
Lin Feng was stupefied. Wen Ao Xue sounded like he often visited this place. It was hard to imagine that this boy would go to such a place when looking at his beautiful girl-like face.
They were still walking and at the same time Lin Feng could clearly see the inside of the cage from where he was.
The inside of the cage was incredibly huge and the cage which covered it looked like it had fallen down straight from the heavens and trapped the people inside.
Inside the cage was divided into two: one side was for cultivator versus cultivator battles while the other side was dedicated to fights between cultivators and ferocious beasts.
The two sides were separated by viewing platforms. People were free to choose what kind of battle they wished to watch.
At that moment, a group of silhouettes in front of Lin Feng turned around and looked at them.
As if Wen Ao Xue had expected it for a long time, he took out six purity stones of medium quality out of his pocket and handed them over to the man who moved aside and let them pass.
"The price for the ten first rows is quite expensive but they are also the best place to clearly watch the battles." said Wen Ao Xue. Lin Feng was stunned: "One purity stone of medium quality per person?! That's horribly expensive! Way too expensive!"
One purity stone of medium quality was enough to practice one month in the cultivation tower of the Celestial Academy, from the fourth to the tenth floor. That wasn't a low price.
"No, it's not expensive at all. It's even cheap. Think for a while, what kinds of people will come here and sit on the best rows on the viewing platforms?" said Wen Ao Xue while shaking his head.
"Those who wanted to enter in the cage to fight and the wealthy who already had a lot of purity stones to begin with." said Lin Feng.
"You're right. Besides, if they win a battle within the cage then they will win at least ten purity stones of medium quality. If they lose, they will not need any purity stones anymore as they will be dead." said Wen Ao Xue. He then pointed at the third row of the viewing platform and said: "Let's sit there."
"Alright." said Lin Feng while nodding. There weren't so many people sitting in the first ten rows. After all, those who wanted to enter the cage as well as those who had enough purity stones to waste were hard to find.
When Lin Feng sat down, a battle had just finished.
Inside of the cage, one of the slaves inserted his hand into the chest of his opponent and ripped out his heart. The scene was sanguinary and bestial. Blood was dripping everywhere as the slave held the heart high in the air.
But the crowd was used to watching such spectacles. They suddenly started shouting in excitement when they saw the scene unfolding.
Liu Fei and Jing Yun frowned, they felt nauseous. Lin Feng looked calm but on the inside he also felt slightly grieved while watching the scene. In that world, there was no space for the weak. The weak were worthless and could be disposed of. This was something Lin Feng was still trying to adapt to.
"If you are not entirely confident in your own abilities then it is useless to enter the cage." thought Lin Feng while shaking his head.
"Lin Feng, considering your opponent would be of the same level as you, would you prefer fighting against a ferocious beast or a cultivator?" asked Wen Ao Xue who was extremely curious.
"Ferocious beast." replied Lin Feng without hesitation.
Wen Ao Xue was surprised by Lin Feng's answer but smiled and immediately replied: "You're right. Many people think that, if the opponent is of the same level, a ferocious beast would be stronger than a cultivator but it is not the same in the cage. A cultivation slave doesn't know when he'll die. Cultivations slaves are even more cruel and sanguinary than the ferocious beasts. They are even more terrifying than the monsters of nightmares."
"Sometimes, you may think that you are stronger than your opponent but in the cage, it's different, you think that you're stronger but you might not necessarily be the last one standing in the end."
To stay alive, some people were ready to do anything.
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "You're right but my choice to fight against a ferocious beast has nothing to do with that."
"What? Really?" asked Wen Ao Xue very surprised.
"Really." replied Lin Feng and then added: "Cultivation slaves might be slaves… but after all, they are still people who deserve the basic human rights and to me they are still innocent people who have not provoked me."
Wen Ao Xue was surprised by Lin Feng's reply and had a strange expression on his face.
"You think that the cultivation slaves are extremely cruel and heartless but if they kill those who enter the cage, it is only because their lives are really threatened… and the worst is those who enter the cage and fight these cultivation slaves to the death do it for only a few purity stones… As far as I am concerned, I couldn't kill anyone if I didn't hate them for something they have done to me or my friends. Otherwise, I would have a very guilty conscience." Lin Feng didn't think that he was a good person or that he could save the world alone but there were certain moral values and principles which were engraved into his heart and he would live by them. On the path of cultivation, Lin Feng thought virtue was just as important as determination.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, it was the first time that Wen Ao Xue had felt that there was something wrong with this place. Even though these people were cultivation slaves…. they were still people….
They were people but in this world, few people felt compassion like Lin Feng. After being born into this environment it has shaped many people to be just as brutal and bloodthirsty as the world around them.
The great majority of people only had the goal to become stronger, no matter what the cost. For that purpose, they unscrupulously killed other people. Killing people was a normal thing for them.
"You may be right… In the future, I will only battle against ferocious beasts." said Wen Ao Xue while smiling. At that moment, a voice came from behind them.
"Military Students, since when did you start disliking the state of the world and adopt a compassionate tone? How ridiculous." Wen Ao Xue and Lin Feng turned around and saw a group of people wearing magnificent clothes. They looked extremely arrogant.
"Political students!" Lin Feng frowned. Amongst them, Lin Feng recognized a fellow student… He had already slapped him once… Bai Ze!

Report chapter
At the Celestial Academy, people who studied military tactics and those who studied governmental affairs were usually not on good terms. There had always been tensions between the two categories of students.
Not only military students liked to come to The Prisoner Arena, political students also liked to come and watch the fights… but they generally preferred spending their time within the Market District to get valuable items which were for sale.
A lot of people like to come to The Prisoner Arena because it provided insights into battle, however it normally required courage.
When the military student joined the fights in The Prisoner Area, they could improve their abilities as fighters and gain insight onto the path of enlightenment. They had to be brave as it was a great challenge to their courage. However, those who studied political affairs didn't require these skills, they were not hot blooded and often liked to work in the shadows.
For those studying political affairs, the military students who engaged in battles in the Prisoner Arena were simply stupid brutes. Risking their life for a few purity stones was a stupid thing to do. They were probably all from poor and insignificant families.
The political students enjoyed coming to the Prisoner Arena to watch battles especially when military students were involved. The political students became really excited each time they saw a military student get devoured by a ferocious beast or get killed by a cultivation slave.
"You are Lin Feng, right? The reason why you came here is because you want to become stronger now that you have challenged Hei Mo, correct?" said a young man in yellow clothes sitting next to Bai Ze and then added: "You cannot get killed by a ferocious beast before your fight against Hei Mo! We are all too impatient and excited to see you make a fool of yourself!"
Lin Feng glanced at Bai Ze. These people obviously knew who Lin Feng was because of Bai Ze. However, Lin Feng didn't know any of them.
Therefore, Lin Feng glanced at the young man in yellow clothes and then turned around and looked at the cage. With such people, the best reaction was to ignore them and continue as if they didn't exist.
Wealthy and noble cultivators were arrogant and thought they were set high above others. When they said something, people would always listen to them or at least they wouldn't ignore them.
The fact that Lin Feng ignored him made the young man in yellow clothes furious. He was stupefied. The smile that he had on his face slowly turned into an evil expression. He then said coldly and loud enough so that everybody could hear him: "Are you deaf? Can you not hear what I'm telling you?" …But as before, Lin Feng ignored him.
"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" Lin Feng just continued to ignore him, the young man in yellow clothes was flying into a rage from shame as it had now attracted people's attention. Cold Qi was being released from his body.
"How noisy!" said Wen Ao Xue while scratching his head. He then turned around and shouted at the young man: "Do you realize that you're just like a noisy barking dog?"
The young man in yellow was stunned. His heart was violently pounding in his chest. Usually, he was the one who insulted other people by calling them a dog, not the other way around!
"Or do you bark like this because you are actually the son of a dog?"" added Wen Ao Xue sounding extremely firm.
"He dared to challenge Hei Mo, do you think that you are stronger than Hei Mo? What do you intend to do?" asked the young man in yellow clothes with an evil expression in his eyes. He was intensely staring at Wen Ao Xue with murderous intentions and said: "A dog? Do you know who you are provoking now?"
Wen Ao Xue remained silent and turned around without looking at the young man. He then comfortably sat down on his chair and said in a cold tone: "Don't think that because your family name is Yu, you can act arrogantly to whomever you wish. Even if your family is Yu, you are still a dog… and trying to make a show of your strength here would just be pathetic and ridiculous."
Wen Ao Xue was calm when saying these words. The young man in yellow clothes was stupefied. How did Wen Ao Xue know his family name was Yu? Besides, he knew that his name was Yu and still didn't hesitate to humiliate him in public!
When Liu Fei heard that his family name was Yu, she turned around and looked at him. Then, she immediately looked at Wen Ao Xue again.
The Yu Clan was extremely powerful within the Imperial City and was worshiped by many people. Even though Wen Ao Xue knew his name, he still didn't care! It seemed like Wen Ao Xue was not easy to deal with!
"Yu!" thought Lin Feng. Lin Feng had already heard that family name and not only once!
In the Xue Yue Country the strongest clans and sects were the Imperial Clan, then the Yue Clan, the Yu Clan, the Wan Shou Sect, the Hao Yue Sect, the Yun Hai Sect, the Ice and Snow Mountain Village and the Luo Xia Sect.
These eight groups of people were influential across the entire country and were known to be extremely strong. Since the Yun Hai Sect had been destroyed there were only seven left… amongst which four powers of influence were in the Imperial City.
Impressively, the young man in yellow clothes was probably a member of the Yu Clan.
But at that moment, the sound of roaring ferocious beasts woke Lin Feng up from his thoughts. Then, an old man entered in the cage.
"Ferocious beast, Lizard!" The crowd was very excited. The lizard had extremely strong defence but was also as agile as a tiger. It was extremely strong.
"I don't know who will dare to enter the cage now but in any case, it will be another spectacular battle!" thought the crowd. The crowd was wondering how many people that lizard had already killed before that battle. It was probably a huge amount!
"Those who own this place constantly have to fill it with slaves and ferocious beasts, are they not losing money when they get killed? Besides, they also have to give purity stones to the winners!" asked Lin Feng who was perplexed at the idea of The Prisoner Arena. Surprisingly, the owners of The Prisoner Arena always had slaves and beasts to put inside, if some of them died every day, was their project economically viable?
"When these slaves and ferocious beasts arrive, they are not necessarily very strong. Even if they get killed, it is not such a big deal. They rely on the experience that the slaves and beasts gain with each battle. Ferocious beasts become stronger and long for more blood with each battle. The slaves also become strong and stronger as they fight to the death. Because they grow stronger with experience they become more expensive… then, the owners take them out and sell them for a high price. This is precisely their goal. We come here to become stronger and increase our cultivation abilities… well the owners do the same, we use them to become stronger but they also use us to make their beasts and slaves become stronger."
Lin Feng was surprised. He was far from even considering something like that. These ferocious beasts and slaves, if they won a great deal of deadly battles then they could become extremely powerful which was beneficial to their owners. Besides, they also became more valuable as they became stronger.
"As far as purity stones are concerned, we already have to pay an entrance tax everytime we want to come inside to fight or watch. Even though it's not expensive, think about the number of people who come here every day. Besides, those who sit in the first rows of the viewing platforms have to pay more. Imagine the amount of money they make every day from admission to the viewing platforms." explained Wen Ao Xue to Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. Lin Feng had just drawn conclusions too quickly. He had neglected the fact that everybody had to pay something when they came into the arena.
At that moment, the old man announced: "Lizard, Beast of the Fourth Ling level. Twenty-eight victories!"
Everybody sighed in amazement when they heard the old man. That lizard was terrifying! It had already killed so many people!
"That means twenty purity stones of medium quality for someone at or above the fourth Ling Qi layer and a hundred purity stones of medium quality for someone under the fourth Ling Qi layer." continued the old man.
"Twenty purity stones of medium quality… That's so many!" thought Lin Feng. Twenty purity stones of medium quality was the equivalent of two thousand purity stones of lower quality. That was enough to practice on the fourth floor of the cultivation tower for two years. Two years in the cultivation tower, what a terrifying power one could gain from two years inside the tower!
"But putting one's life at stake to become rich is also terrifying!" thought Lin Feng. Lin Feng had realized that the Yun Hai Sect was actually quite poor. The owner of The Prisoner Arena owned so many purity stones that it was frightening!
Twenty purity stones of medium quality were enough to buy a strong slave, a very good martial skill or an agility technique.
When Lin Feng realized that, he stood up without hesitation and said indifferently: "I will participate in the next battle!"

"I will participate in the next battle!" Lin Feng's voice wasn't loud but it was loud enough for everybody to hear him.
Everybody was surprised when looking at Lin Feng. He surprisingly wanted to fight against a fourth Ling Level lizard! He was so young!
Those who dared to enter in the cage all considered themselves as very strong cultivators. They were not stupidly playing with their life… but that lizard had already killed twenty eight people, it meant that it was very powerful and strengthened in battle!
A cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer who wanted to fight the lizard was taking a huge risk. It would be very difficult to emerge victorious for an average cultivator of the fifth Ling Qi layer.
Someone under the fourth Ling Qi layer would never be able to win against it. That is why the reward for them if they won was a hundred purity stones of medium quality.
Bai Ze smiled when he saw that Lin Feng was standing up. It looked like another military student was going to die in the Prisoner Arena.
"What a pity! He's going to die before his battle against Hei Mo… It's terribly disappointing." said the young man in yellow clothes while laughing. Lin Feng was challenging a lizard, he was definitely going to die.
"Born as a beggar, he will also die as a beggar… For a few purity stones, he dares to risk his life. Not only will he lose his life but he will also lose the few purity stones that he has."
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the young man in yellow clothes in a playful way.
"The Prisoner Arena can lend a stage to two cultivators who wish to battle to the death. Could it be that you want to have a try against me?" said Lin Feng in a loud voice which echoed throughout the arena. The young man was speaking so loud that a great number of people could hear him, so Lin Feng spoke so loud that everyone in the viewing platform could hear him.
The young man was stupefied and was speechless.
"Are you fighting or not? You keep talking bullshit yet do not have the spine to take action. A piece of trash with a big mouth can also be a coward, what a surprise." said Lin Feng fiercely. The young man in yellow clothes was furious. The sensation that everybody was looking at him with mocking glares made him even more furious. He was evilly staring at Lin Feng.
"Poor guy, he's so pitiful!" said Wen Ao Xue while laughing loudly.
It was useless to keep talking to him as he had no backbone, so Lin Feng ignored him again and walked towards the border of the cage, moving close to the old man.
The old man opened the door of the cage and let Lin Feng enter. Lin Feng went in and suddenly felt oppressed. It was as if the Qi of all the people and creatures in the cage that was oppressing him. The sensation was very uncomfortable.
When the Lizard saw Lin Feng come in, it roared loudly. Ling Level ferocious beasts were very smart. They knew who their enemies were. It knew that if it didn't kill Lin Feng, it would have to die.
The expression within its eyes looked ice cold. It was slowly and cautiously crawling towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at the lizard move towards him. Lin Feng looked indifferent and calm. He didn't look agitated at all.
But suddenly, the gigantic body of the lizard jumped up into the air and flew towards Lin Feng at full speed! It was a thousand times faster than a moment before when it was crawling.
"Eight strikes of desolation!"
Lin Feng used both of his hands to unleash his strikes. Lin Feng had mastered this skill to perfection! with one strike, he could kill a normal cultivator of the fourth Ling Qi layer.
Surprisingly, the lizard didn't avoid Lin Feng's attack. It opened its claws and blocked Lin Feng's attack. It managed to weaken the power of Lin Feng's attack. Of course, eight strikes of desolation was an extremely powerful attack and it was impossible for that lizard to completely disintegrate its power. A few strikes still managed to pass through and crash into its body which made it fly backwards. It roared extremely loudly as if it had been angered. However, what surprised Lin Feng is that it wasn't injured at all.
"As expected, it has a very strong defence. No wonder it has managed to kill twenty eight cultivators already." thought Lin Feng.
It emitted a loud bestial roar. Its eyes grew colder and colder. It was an incredibly horrifying sight to behold. Suddenly, it dashed towards Lin Feng again!
Lin Feng didn't use his eight strikes of desolation. Instead, he released an extremely strong sword Qi which created whirlwinds in the air. It seemed like the body of the lizard was being oppressed by the power of the Qi.
"RAAAWWWWWRRRRR…." the sharp sword Qi made the lizard roar extremely loudly. Its sharp claws were moving towards Lin Feng with deadly precision.
If Lin Feng came into contact with these claws then he would be cut into pieces.
At that moment, Lin Feng jumped straight towards the lizard. He had moved into the range of the lizard's strikes. He also slightly raised his hand into the air.
"What is he doing?!"
"He's using his hand to block the claws of the lizard?"
"He's crazy! He's going to die."
People in the crowd were making various comments. Most of them were stupefied. Many people got lacerated into pieces by the claws of the lizard after the first attack. Its claws were even sharper than most swords.
Lin Feng's hands finally reached the lizard's claws and suddenly, a radiant white light filled the entire cage.
The crowd was astonished. Lin Feng didn't seem to have been injured but the lizard was screaming and howling in agony.
"How's that possible? How could his hand be sharper than the lizard's claws?" the crowd was astonished. They all looked puzzled.
Lin Feng continued moving nearer and nearer to the lizard. Surprisingly, he wanted a close combat battle against the lizard! They were both moving as fast as lightning.
"CRRRAAAACK!" suddenly a trail of brown blood splashed into the air. There was a huge wound on the lizard's body.
"What a terrifying attack… and he did that with only his hand… he concentrated sword Qi into his hand and it became even sharper than a sword!" said a cultivator in the crowd. The crowd was astonished. That young man was really a monstrous genius. What many cultivators of the fourth Ling Qi layer had tried in vain before, Lin Feng had done it so easily with his bare hands!
When they saw that, Bai Ze and the young man in yellow clothes were both astonished and furious. They hadn't thought that Lin Feng was so strong.
"Obviously, he hid his strength on the entrance day." Bai Ze felt ridiculous and laughable. He realized how strong Lin Feng was. On that day, he had called him a beggar each time he opened his mouth. At that moment, he realized that Lin Feng was a much stronger cultivator than him. He would never be able to defeat Lin Feng no matter how many resources his family provided him.
Lin Feng didn't know what all these people were thinking at that moment though. He just wanted to achieve his victory over the lizard. At that moment, he could concentrate all sword energy into his hand. It wasn't as terrifying as his sword attacks but it was still extremely strong.
Each time Lin Feng's hand touched the lizard, blood was sent splashing around the arena.
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR…….!!!" after a short time, the lizard had already lost a great deal of blood. It gave a horrible shriek.
"I'll stop playing with you now." thought Lin Feng. He went even closer to the lizard. Immediately, a gigantic sword Qi emerged from his hand and with a single strike he beheaded the lizard and put it out of its misery. The entire crowd was astonished.
"Wow….." sighed the crowd in amazement and thought: "How strong! He just used his hand as a sword!"
"You win. Here are twenty purity stones of medium quality." said the old man entering the cage while handing Lin Feng the purity stones. Lin Feng impolitely took the stones and left the cage without sparing a glance at the old man.
Lin Feng glanced to the side where the cultivation slaves were fighting. This time, another cultivation slave had been killed.
The two sides were separated by an iron gate. If it was opened, the slaves and the beasts would be together in a single area.
When Lin Feng came out from inside of the cage, he felt much better as inside it was a very oppressing atmosphere.
Lin Feng moved back towards his seat, glanced at the young man in yellow clothes with a mocking look and then sat down.
On both sides of the cage, two old men were bringing in a new ferocious beast and a new slave. The slave's hair was so messy that his facial features were almost invisible. He had handcuffs on his hands and chains at his feet which made a loud metallic noise after each step he took.
Suddenly, the slave raised his head and his face became visible. There was a word on his face: Jun!

The word covered his entire face which made it difficult to see his real facial features.
His entire appearance made him look extremely savage and hideous.
Besides, his two dark eyes made him look even more cruel. His expression was enough to make anyone shiver.
"How cold." said the crowd. They were all shivering.
Cultivation slaves were fighting everyday all day. They were extremely strong and battle hardened warriors. Therefore, each time a cultivation slave came from The Prisoner Arena, there would always be fights between those who wanted to buy the slave.
Lin Feng frowned. What a cruel method!
He didn't know where these slaves came from but marking their face was going too far. It completely violated their human rights and made them nothing more but animals. They would never be able to live in the real world, they were doomed to living in that hell forever.
"That slave is of the third Ling Qi layer. He has already won sixteen battles. If somebody wins against him, he can receive twenty purity stones if he's above the third Ling Qi layer, a hundred if he's of the third Ling Qi layer or lower." said the old man leading him into the cage. The whole crowd was stupefied. He had won twelve battles less than the lizard but had won against all his challengers. He was incredibly terrifying of an opponent.
"Bai Ze, third Ling Qi layer, He is the same level as you." said the young man in yellow clothes. Bai Ze was surprised. He immediately nodded and said: "I'm going."
"Alright." said the young man in yellow clothes while smiling. Bai Ze walked towards the edge of the cage near the old man who was inside. Bai Ze nodded to him.
The old man looked at Bai Ze and frowned, he then said: "This slave is extremely strong, are you sure that you want to go into the cage?"
"I'm sure." said Bai Ze while nodding without hesitation. The old man thus let Bai Ze enter the cage.
"Hmph!" groaned Wen Ao Xue from on the bleachers to show his discontent.
Lin Feng was also surprised. Surprisingly, they had warned Bai Ze that it was a dangerous battle. When he wanted to fight against the lizard, the old man hadn't said anything even though the lizard was extremely strong.
"Lin Feng, that slave is out of luck." said Wen Ao Xue. Lin Feng looked at him in a strange way and asked: "That's weird because I know how strong Bai Ze is and he doesn't have exceptional strength, nothing special. I even get the feeling that he could lose this battle before it even begins."
"Bai Ze could never lose. Do you know who is in charge of the Prisoner Arena?" asked Wen Ao Xue. Lin Feng was surprised and looking at Wen Ao Xue with big eyes.
"The Bai Clan is in charge of The Prisoner Arena. Everything here is controlled by his clan." said Wen Ao Xue indifferently. Lin Feng was stunned. No wonder that the old man was warning Bai Ze, because it was his clan that run the arena.
"What if Bai Ze loses?"
"They only look at the process. Not at the result." said Wen Ao Xue mysteriously who seemed to understand what was going on in the background.
At that moment, Bai Ze was facing the slave within the fighting stage of the cage. A strong and sharp Qi emerged within the atmosphere.
Bai Ze shivered when he saw the bestial expression in the slave's eyes.
"Die!" shouted the cultivation slave. He then immediately threw himself at Bai Ze. Everybody who entered the cage wanted to kill him, if he did not kill the people who entered the cage then they would try to kill him.
The chains that he was wearing suddenly emitted a whistling sound in the air. The slave was jumping towards Bai Ze looking like a deadly spear.
"Hurricane Spirit…" whispered Lin Feng when saw that a hurricane spirit had appeared behind Bai Ze's body.
Bai Ze was extremely arrogant and thought that he was a true genius… but Lin Feng had required only one finger to defeat him. He hadn't even had the time to release his spirit. He had been humiliated to the extreme.
But Bai Ze was only eighteen. In any other place, he would be considered as a genius. In the Yun Hai Sect, it would have been no exception. However, in the Imperial City, there were many young cultivators who were much stronger than him. Genius was a very relative word in that context.
The slave didn't even look at Bai Ze. His chains were still lacerating the atmosphere and diffusing whistling sounds as they cut the very air itself.
"How ferocious!" thought Bai Ze who started shaking and retreating a few steps backwards. At that moment, a vine illusion had started twining around Bai Ze's body. The slave was still flying towards Bai Ze like a spear rushing through the air.
There was absolutely no superfluous movement made by the slave, he was going directly for the kill. Bai Ze was in a fatal position.
Bai Ze's pupils shrank. He struggled to move his hands and suddenly a strong Qi flowed from his body which looked like a hurricane and moved towards the slave's chains at full speed.
Suddenly, Bai Ze was almost suffocating because the slave had put even more strength into his vine illusion which was twining around Bai Ze's body. The slave, with the aid of his vine spirit had managed to control his flight through the air and his trajectory looked like a perfect arch within the air. He was moving straight towards Bai Ze.
"How strong!" the crowd was amazed at the sight. The slave was extremely strong. Every single move he made was perfect. He was fast, agile and experienced in battle.
Lin Feng frowned. He remembered that he had already seen that kind of spirit. Han Man's friend, Po Jun, had a vine spirit too.
"Po Jun and Jun the slave!" Lin Feng looked surprised. He was staring at that slave as if he had understood something terrifying. Was it a coincidence? How could they have the same name and use the same spirit?!
"BOOM!" while Bai Ze was doing his best to avoid the attack, the slave finally reached him and sent him flying backwards however he was not injured.
The slave was stupefied. He had carried out a very strong attack but hadn't managed to kill his opponent. How could he have not died from that attack?
"Stop!" at that moment, a loud voice emerged in the atmosphere. The slave was surprised, stopped moving and stared at the old man.
"This battle ends here." said the old man indifferently. The crowd was stupefied. End of the battle?
Only death could make a battle end, those were the rules! How could it just end during this fight?
"It looks like the old man and the current challenger have a relationship!" thought the crowd, especially when they remembered that the old man had warned Bai Ze. That was the only possibility.
"We're not done yet, how could the battle end here?" asked the slave with a husky voice. He was fixedly staring at the old man.
The old man's expression suddenly became evil. A slave dared refute his words?
"Since you want to die, I will help you achieve your aim." said the old man with an evil smile on his face. "Release the beast."
When the old man finished talking, on the other side of the arena, a middle-aged man appeared. The crowd was surprised by the fact of what he was riding as a beast-like monster. It had four legs and chains around its neck.
"Jun, this is the fiercest of beasts and while you are in its presence you would do best to act docile. Today, you will fight against it, if you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die." said the old man evilly. Jun was fixedly staring at him. Surprisingly, he wanted him to fight against it, that old man was an animal!
When the beast heard these words, it raised its head and bestially looked at the old man.
When looking at the situation, Lin Feng, who was sat on the viewing platform started to release an extremely strong and cold Qi.

That strong freezing Qi seemed like it was coming from the depth of the earth itself.
Wen Ao Xue, who was sitting next to Lin Feng was extremely surprised. A strange expression appeared on his face and he looked at Lin Feng.
"How cold!" said Wen Ao Xue while looking at Lin Feng with his beautiful woman like eyes. Why was Lin Feng body releasing so much cold Qi?
Not only Wen Ao Xue was surprised but the others as well, Liu Fei, Jing Yun, Duan Feng and Yuan Shan were all staring at Lin Feng. They could all feel the cold Qi that he was releasing on their skin. The moment the Qi had reached them they were freezing cold.
Only Jing Yun glanced at Lin Feng for a second and then looked at the monster again.
She looked at the legs of the beast. Its legs were tied with chains but it seemed like its forelegs were actually hands, human hands. Similarly to cultivation slaves, it had a mark on its face. "Han" was written across its face.
Jing Yun got the feeling of deja-vu. She started to look closely at the beast and saw that it looked almost human.
"Han Man!" Said Jing Yun, she couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't believe what she was seeing. That beast couldn't be Han Man!
But in view of the cold Qi coming from Lin Feng's body, Jing Yun thought that she must have been right with her assumption. That couldn't possibly be anybody else.
An expression full of hatred and wrath suddenly appeared on Jing Yun's face. That band of animals was suddenly treating Han Man that way.
"Huh?" said Wen Ao Xue when he heard Jing Yun. He was surprised to see Jing Yun's facial expression.
"You and Lin Feng know that person?" asked Wen Ao Xue to Jing Yun.
Jing Yun looked sure of herself and nodded: "Yes, we do. He is our good friend."
When the others heard Jing Yun, they were stupefied. No wonder Lin Feng had become so furious to the extent that some cold Qi was released from his body.
So that man that was made into a beast was actually Lin Feng's friend!
"Haha. Not only do they complain about the state of the world and show compassion for trash, but they also make friends with slaves. They are true to their names as beggars! Friends with slaves… Haha!" The political students were making fun of Lin Feng and the others. They had heard what Jing Yun had said.
"Hahaha, their friend is treated as a beast and there is even a person riding him. Haha!" said the young man in yellow clothes.
Lin Feng slowly turned around and looked at him. Suddenly, the young man in yellow clothes turned deathly pale. He looked terrified.
"He looks so cold, so heartless!" Thought the young man in yellow.
Lin Feng's eyes were expressionless and lifeless.
"Filthy beggar!" said the young man in yellow clothes while gnashing his teeth. He had been momentarily scared of Lin Feng because of the expression in his eyes, how was that possible!
"BOOOM!"
Lin Feng crushed his seat into tiny pieces with a punch. The seats on the viewing platform were all made from solid stone. Lin Feng had crushed it with a single strike. He then started walking towards the young man in yellow.
"BOOOM!"
Lin Feng crushed another seat. The heart of the young man in yellow clothes started pounding.
At that moment, Lin Feng arrived in front of him. Lin Feng grabbed the young man's throat. His movement had been as fast as lightning, so that the young man hadn't even had the time to dodge. Lin Feng then lifted the young man's body into the air with one hand. The young man in yellow clothes could hardly breathe from the power of Lin Feng's grip.
"BOOOM!"
Without hesitation, Lin Feng smashed the young man's body into the stone chair that he was sitting on. The noise from his body colliding with the stone was terrifying. Then, Lin Feng pressed the young man's head onto the ground and then trampled over his face. The young man was suffocating from the pressure of Lin Feng's foot on his face.
This had happened in the blink of an eye, everybody was astonished. All these political students were watching the scene speechless. They were astonished by Lin Feng's actions. When they felt Lin Feng's cold Qi, they didn't dare to attack him.
"If you say one more word, I will crush you under my foot like a bug." said Lin Feng in a low voice fixedly staring at the young man in yellow clothes under his foot. His voice was extremely cold.
At that moment, the young man in yellow clothes was bleeding so much that he was half conscious and didn't really realize what was going on. His head was spinning and he was just staring blankly into the distance.
"A supposed beggar has trampled all over your face. Now everybody will make fun of you just like you made fun of the slaves. The difference is that the slaves are worth much more than you." said Lin Feng coldly. He then removed his foot and ignored the young man in yellow clothes. He started walking towards the cage. With every step he took closer to the cage the cold Qi emerging from his body was getting colder and colder.
Everybody was staring at Lin Feng wondering what he was doing and why such a freezing cold Qi was being released from his body. Those near Lin Feng were particularly stupefied. That young man was incredibly terrifying! What was wrong with him?
Those in the cage could feel that the atmosphere was getting colder and colder. The old man was astonished when he felt the cold Qi being released by Lin Feng who was slowly walking towards the cage.
Bai Ze was also stunned, especially since he had also seen the scene a moment before with the young man in yellow. Lin Feng was definitely crazy and it wasn't a good idea to provoke insane people! Bai Ze's heart was pounding at full speed in his chest.
When Po Jun saw Lin Feng and how ferocious he looked, his heart also started pounding.
Lin Feng… It was Lin Feng… He had thought he would never see people he knew again.
As far as Han Man was concerned, when he saw Lin Feng, he blinked a few times as if he was seeing things. The bestial expression in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with a sorrowful expression. He had been forced to live like a ferocious beast, he was forced into life and death battle constantly and could've died at any time. He had never thought he would see Lin Feng again. Han Man hated Duan Tian Lang, that animal! …and he hated everybody at The Prisoner Arena.
When all the events happened in the Yun Hai Sect, Han Man and Po Jun had survived. But if Han Man had known that he would become a slave and be forced to live the way he had, he would have preferred to die back on that day.
Many survivors had been taken as prisoners and then sold as slaves. That's how Han Man had been sold to the Prisoner Arena.
During his time in The Prisoner Arena, Han Man had become lifeless. He was humiliated from morning to evening and beaten like a dog. He had even been forced to act as a ferocious wild beast. In the Prisoner Camp, he didn't stop killing his friends from the morning till the night. He had been taught that if he didn't kill, he would die, if he killed, he wouldn't die. He had become much stronger and had a savage ferocity.
Han Man had resisted and because he had tried to resist, he had been forced to live as a beast.
At that moment, when he saw Lin Feng, Han Man's expression gradually changed. His eyes and face gradually turned red, tears slowly started flowing down from his eyes.
"Lin Feng, my brother!" Said Han Man as he hung his head in shame. He was ashamed to be in this situation where he was rode like a beast… and Lin Feng was, once again, rushing into a powerful foe to save him.
Han Man knew what kind of person Lin Feng was. He had gone to the Precipice of the Abyss to save him, he had gone into the Life and Death Arena to save him and once again he was moving into danger to save him. No matter whom he was facing, Lin Feng would never let his friends down, even if the opponent was incredibly strong. There is no one that he would not challenge for the sake of his friends. His life was worth nothing if he abandoned his friends.
…and at that moment, Lin Feng was risking his life again for his friends.
"Brother, you have suffered hardships." Lin Feng's dark and cold expression suddenly changed and was replaced with a warm smile. Han Man raised his head again when he heard Lin Feng. Tears were unceasingly flowing down his cheeks.
There are some friends who will come to save you no matter how dark the situation becomes!

Brother? The old man was surprised when he heard the conversation between them. An evil expression appeared on his face. Lin Feng surprisingly knew that slave and was a good friend of his. The old man looked at Lin Feng who was slowly moving towards them. He then walked towards Lin Feng to prevent him from walking further and said: "It doesn't matter if you were friends before. Now, he is marked. He is doomed to be a slave for the rest of his life."
"If I put a mark on your face, will you become a slave too?" said Lin Feng extremely coldly.
The old man smiled and said: "You want to die, right?"
"If I die, it will mean that someone killed me after your death." said Lin Feng coldly. Suddenly, the Qi emerging from his body grew even colder and started moving towards the old man."
"You are overestimating yourself." said the old man while smiling. Suddenly, his body pierced through the air looking like a hurricane and moved towards Lin Feng.
"Sword Unsheathing!" Lin Feng used his sword unsheathing skill. He had mastered it to perfection. He was extremely quick and agile since a single strike needed to be enough to kill an opponent.
But the old man ignored Lin Feng's attack and managed to avoid it while moving closer to him, he then thrust our his fist and punch Lin Feng in the chest.
"ARGH!" Blood sprayed from Lin Feng's mouth ad he was propelled backwards.
"Seventh Qi layer!" the crowd was stupefied. The old man was incredibly strong. He had broken through to the seventh Qi layer and compared to Lin Feng the difference was too big. Lin Feng wouldn't be able to withstand another attack.
But Lin Feng raised his head again. He started moving towards the old man again. He looked as cold and determined as ever.
The entire atmosphere around the cage was filled with a freezing cold Qi.
"You're very talented. You could have had a brilliant future but because you're courting death, I have no other option but to help you find it." said the old man when he saw that Lin Feng continued to approach. He then laughed coldly and said: "You have only broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer, you could never touch me, not even once… and killing me? Only in your dreams!"
"No need to kill him. Put a mark on him. Make him a slave. Wouldn't it be much better that way?" said Bai Ze. The old man was surprised by those words but then smiled and said: "Young master, you are extremely clever. Of course, that would be a much better solution! He's much stronger than that Han beast… It would probably be a great spectacle to see him fighting as a slave."
"Let's do it." said Bai Ze while evilly staring at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had acted recklessly, there was no choice.
Lin Feng didn't even give him a glance though. He kept walking. Each and every step he took was filled with determination and coldness.
"AAARRRGHHHHH!" Han Man roared just like an animal. His body was shaking but the middle-aged man was holding him down with chains. Han Man couldn't move freely.
The old man hit Lin Feng again. Blood splashed once again from his mouth. Lin Feng's body was projected away and struck against the wall of the cage so hard that it made the cage vibrate.
Just like the old man had said, Lin Feng was strong but had only broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer. He could never compete with someone of the seventh Ling Qi layer.
When Liu Fei and the others saw Lin Feng's body get blown away. They all stood up and walked towards the cage.
"Wait, wait!" said Wen Ao Xue preventing them from moving further.
"Get out of the way." said Liu Fei. Wen Ao Xue only had a wry smile on his face.
"Lin Feng cannot win this fight. If you go there, you will only die with him."
"Get out of the way!" said Liu Fei coldly ignoring what he had just said.
"I'm going." said Wen Ao Xue while shaking his head. His body suddenly transformed into an illusion and flew towards the cage. When he arrived at the edge of the cage, he didn't enter it. He had the feeling that Lin Feng wouldn't be so easy to kill.
Wen Ao Xue was terribly touched by Lin Feng's actions. That guy would risk his life for his friends…
Po Jun was touched as well. The mark on his face was moving along with his facial muscles. Such a person should be respected by everyone.
Lin Feng's eyes became pitch black. He was slowly walking forwards. In his heart, there was no emotion at all, only darkness.
"DIE!" shouted Lin Feng furiously. His deadly sword fluttered in the air. A grayish black fog rose around his sword and started rushing into the atmosphere.
"Is it the best you can do?" said the old man while laughing. He joined his hands together and release a hurricane like wind.
A deadly Qi unceasingly flowed out from his body. Lin Feng's sword was shaking with intensity.
At that moment, Lin Feng threw his sword through the air towards the old man. It pierced through atmosphere at full speed and lacerated everything which came into contact with it.
"What's the point?" said the old man fearlessly. When Lin Feng's sword arrived in front of the old man, it abruptly stopped.
"Goodbye!" yelled the old man causing Lin Feng's long sword fly away into the distance. At that moment, Lin Feng had landed in front of the old man and thrust his hand forward with the sharpness and precision of a sword.
"Die!" said the old man with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. He disintegrated Lin Feng's sword Qi and punched Lin Feng again. Thick dark blood gushed out from Lin Feng's mouth.
Lin Feng however had caught the old man's hand using both his hands. He surprisingly hadn't been pushed back. Everybody was stupefied.
"What is he doing?"
Lin Feng was probably going to die because of this. That action was a big mistake.
It seemed like there was a large wound on Lin Feng's chest where the old man unceasingly punched. There was a huge blood stain. The scene was terrifying.
But Lin Feng didn't release the old man's hand. He was firmly and tightly holding it between his two hands.
Everybody was staring at Lin Feng. How fierce! These were probably his last moments and he still didn't release the old man's hand. Had he renounced his will to live?
Some of Lin Feng's blood even splashed on Han Man. His heart was pounding and he was breathing heavily.
Dust rose under Han Man's body. Suddenly, the ground started shaking. The expression in his eyes was progressively changing. His red eyes slowly turned yellowish-brown and looked like that of a bloodthirsty wild beast. They were filled with intense wrath.
"Roooaarrrr!" a bestial roar came from Han Man's mouth. It seemed like the ground was going to cave in. The ground was shaking so much that it seemed like it could cave it at any time. More and more yellow dust was rising into the air. A thick layer of sand was covering Han Man's body.
The middle-aged man who was on Han Man's back wondered what was happening. His heart started beating faster and faster.
"What's going on?" When the middle-aged man saw all the dust flying around him, he was astonished.
Suddenly, the chains on Han Man's body broke into a thousand tiny pieces.
When the old man and Lin Feng, who were fighting, saw that, they were stupefied too.
"Huh?" the old man was surprised. He didn't understand what was happening. His pupils shrank.
"Celestial Spirit!" Suddenly, a dazzling light as bright as the sun burst from Lin Feng's expressionless and pitch-black eyes.
Since Lin Feng's Celestial Spirit had awoken, he had not taken advantage of the abilities that his spirit provided him. This was the first time.
The old man slightly closed his eyes. He wanted to move back but Lin Feng was still tightly holding his hand.
Suddenly, the old man jumped up in the air, taking Lin Feng along with him.
"Die!" said Lin Feng in a low voice. He could see everything clearly thanks to his celestial spirit. Every movement of the old man was very clear in Lin Feng's mind.
At the same time, Lin Feng's body turned into a shadow. A dazzling light appeared and suddenly, a long trail of blood sprayed into the air.
"That shadow!" the crowd was stupefied by what they had seen. Lin Feng had become almost invisible with his shadow!
"Just because you're extremely strong, it doesn't mean that I can't kill you!" said a cold yet calm voice. The old man was holding his throat as blood was gushing through his fingers. He was falling slowly to the ground!

The old man's body collapsed. He was lying dead on the ground with a shocked expression still on his face. At that moment, the entire atmosphere became calm again.
Lin Feng, who had only broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer, had killed the old man who had broken through to the seventh Ling Qi layer? In that world, one Ling Qi layer was already a huge difference in battle. A cultivator who could defeat people with higher Qi layers than his own was a real genius.
The whole crowd had the impression that they were in a dream. It had looked like it was the end for Lin Feng but the final result was strangely the exact opposite of what everyone was thinking. The crowd was stunned.
Lin Feng had been determined until the end and shocked the entire crowd.
"Quick, ruthless, agile, skilful and determined…" The crowd admired Lin Feng as a cultivator. His strategy had been amazing. He had planned everything that happened from the beginning. At the start of the fight he was not even using a fraction of his true speed. He wanted to hide how fast he really was… and then at the end, he had carried out an extremely quick and lethal attack.
Lin Feng coughed loudly. Blood revealed itself with each cough. There was also a large amount of blood flowing out from the wound on his chest.
He took out a jar of pills from his pocket. Lin Feng took two pills out and quickly swallowed them. Suddenly, he started feeling more and more relaxed.
"This guy is insane." said Wen Ao Xue while looking at Lin Feng. He had a smile on his face. Lin Feng was hard to understand. What he had done seemed like a miracle. He had surprisingly managed to kill the old man.
"Seventh Qi layer…" thought Wen Ao Xue. "Besides, where did that other sword come from?"
Lin Feng had gotten rid of his long sword during the battle and nobody had noticed that he still had another sword. He had used that sword to slit the old man's throat.
"Lin Feng, brother!" said Han Man. At that moment, one of his pupils was a deep red and the other one was brown. It was extremely strange to see. One eyes looked like it had been bathed in blood and the other looked like the depth of the earth.
"Don't worry. I don't die so easily." said Lin Feng whose cold expression turned into a warm and friendly smile when looking at Han Man.
Han Man roared again while looking at the sky. The ground started shaking. Yellow sand started flying around Han Man's body. Suddenly, his entire body transformed into a sand storm.
"What's going on?" asked some people in the crowd. That was so strange! A moment ago, the crowd hadn't really paid attention to him because they were too fascinated by the fight between Lin Feng and the old man but they had noticed that something abnormal was happening to him. They were all speechless.
The sand flying around Han Man's body was getting thicker and thicker. As the sand grew denser the light grew more dazzling and bright. At that moment, there was so much sand flying around Han Man that it had created a huge dome of sand.
Han Man was surrounded by a gigantic sand sphere.
Lin Feng frowned. He didn't understand what was happening to Han Man.
"CRACK!"
A large crack appeared in the gigantic sphere surrounding Han Man's body. It was as large as a lotus flower. Han Man's body could be seen once again.
Everybody's eyes shrank. They were all stupefied and looked incredibly perplexed.
Han Man's hair was very long and its colour was pitch black but at this moment, his hair had turned yellow like sand. The sight of him made people in the crowd start to shiver.
Han Man looked incredibly majestic at that moment, like an ancient god. The only thing which hadn't changed was the slave mark he had on his face.
Han Man opened his eyes. It seemed like there was a storm growing inside his eyes.
"Wow."
From head to foot, Han Man was filled with explosive force and power.
Han Man turned around and looked at the middle aged man with a vicious gaze. The middle aged man was scared by Han Man's strange bestial look.
"Die!" shouted Han Man. He started walking slowly but his steps were extremely heavy on the ground. He stopped in place and threw a punch towards the middle aged man. Yellow sand was glowing all around his fist.
The middle aged man was surprised by the attack. He didn't have time to dodge the attack so he raised his fist and a strong power emerged.
"BOOOOOOM!!"
When their two fists collided, a huge cloud of sand rose up in the air but suddenly, a huge quantity of sand moved towards the middle aged man at full speed and buried his body in a solid tomb of sand.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
Han Man sounded furious. He punched the sand in which the middle aged man was buried with such power that it cracked open. The body of the middle aged man was crushed and his body had exploded at the point of impact. However there was no blood to be seen, only sand surrounded the body.
"What!" The whole crowd was gasping with astonishment. They were staring at Han Man. His attack was incredibly violent. Not only had he trapped the middle aged man and buried him alive but he then also stuck with such power that part of his body exploded.
The crowd didn't have the slightest impression that Han Man was any weaker than Lin Feng.
"His blood vessels have awoken." whispered Wen Ao Xue blankly staring at Han Man through the cage.
That's right. Han Man's blood vessels had awoken. Only when the blood circulation had reached a perfect rhythm, the blood vessels could awaken and grant the blood a special power.
If someone's blood vessels awoke, their offspring would also be granted the same power. When blood vessels awoke, it provided cultivators with an amazing strength which was previously hidden. However usually the cultivators who had awoken their blood vessels would have a blood spirit. What Han Man had achieved was a miracle to the extent that Wen Ao Xue had never even heard that it was possible.
However, there was no possible doubt, Han Man's vessels had awoken, there was no other possible explanation for the strange transformation that had happened to his body.
Lin Feng was also dumbstruck. How strong! At that moment, Han Man had the strength of the fifth Ling Qi layer which meant he was even stronger than Lin Feng who was only at the fourth Ling Qi layer.
At that moment, many people moved towards the cage. Lin Feng was surprised.
"Lin Feng, brother, that little brat should make his grave here." said Han Man while glancing at Bai Ze. He wanted to make Lin Feng a slave a moment before. Bai Ze had nowhere to run.
Han Man started walking towards Bai Ze and raised his fist into the air.
Lin Feng slowly turned around and looked at Bai Ze. At that moment, Bai Ze's face turned deathly pale and he started retreating backwards.
"You said that you wanted to make me a slave, right?" said Lin Feng while walking towards Bai Ze.
When Bai Ze heard Lin Feng, he started shaking with terror and shook his head.
"Come save me, come save me!" shouted Bai Ze. How could it end like this? This place belonged to his clan. If he wanted something, then he could get it… but at that moment, the situation was critical for him and he had no way to escape.
At that moment, many people were moving towards the cage in an attempt to help Bai Ze. They were all stopping close to Wen Ao Xue who was blocking the entrance of the cage.
Wen Ao Xue was just leaning against the entrance of cage. He had a cynical smile on his face. When Bai Ze saw that he wasn't moving, he shouted: "Wen Ao Xue! You dare!"
Wen Ao Xue was provoking the young master of the Bai Clan.

"What are you guys doing?" shouted Bai Ze furiously when he saw that people had stopped at the entrance of the cage.
Wen Ao Xue glanced at Bai Ze. Wen Ao Xue found it pathetic that Bai Ze was in such a situation because of his own stupidity. Bai Ze thought that he was a genius who had all the power in the world and because of that he had put himself in that dangerous situation.
"If I'm here, nobody will enter the cage." said Wen Ao Xue in a cold tone while sounding very confident.
Lin Feng was surprised. He hadn't thought that Wen Ao Xue would act so cruel. It seemed like that young man who was as beautiful as a woman, was actually not easy to predict.
Bai Ze was staring at Lin Feng and saw that he wasn't hurrying to kill him. Lin Feng raised his sword and slowly started walking towards Bai Ze.
"What are you going to do to me?" said Bai Ze who could barely breathe as fear was starting to consume his consciousness. His voice was very low.
"Don't worry. I will not kill you." said Lin Feng indifferently. Bai Ze was surprised. Immediately after, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Feng's mouth who said: "Your clan likes to put markings on people's faces and make them become slaves for the rest of their lives. I will also put a marking on your face. We will see if you ever dare to insult and humiliate slaves again."
Put a marking on his face? Like a slave?
"Haven't you heard what I said? Come in and help me!" shouted Bai Ze furiously as he was getting more and more impatient.
Some people moved to enter the cage then suddenly, Wen Ao Xue jumped over in front of them and said: "Three more steps and I will unsheathe my sword. If I am forced to unsheathe my sword, there will be blood." said Wen Ao Xue calmly. Everybody stopped moving towards the cage. Nobody dared to take another step forward.
"Evil must be annihilated." a gigantic amount of sword Qi was released from Lin Feng's body. Bai Ze was incredibly frightened. He was not going to be saved by anyone as they were all outside, afraid to move another step.
"If you let me off, I can offer you a fortune of purity stones. I can even offer you some high class martial skills and agility techniques."
"Offer?" Lin Feng laughed. Wealthy people were really used to getting their own way with their money and influence. They thought that everyone was beneath them and could be bought with a few purity stones.
"If I let you off, you will give me some purity stones, high class martial skills and agility techniques?" said Lin Feng coldly before adding: "Do you think that I'm stupid?"
After what had happened today, the Bai Clan would never forget Lin Feng. They would never let him off so easily.
If Lin Feng didn't act then he would never be able to avenge Han Man and his other friends from the Yun Hai Sect who had been transformed into fighting slaves and whose faces had been violated with a marking in the Prisoner Arena.
Lin Feng and the Bai Clan were enemies. He had to kill them or they would kill him. There would be no peace between them as long as he lived. Lin Feng thought this way because he was now the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect.
Bai Ze made a hideous and evil expression when he heard Lin Feng's words.
"If you dare to touch me, the Bai Clan will never let you off and they will hunt you until you are dead."
"As expected, you're a moron." said Lin Feng who couldn't bear listening to Bai Ze talk. At that moment, Bai Ze let out a horrible shriek. A marking had appeared on Bai Ze's face.
Bai Ze covered his face with his hand and blood was unceasingly flowing through his fingers. Lin Feng looked incredibly cold and ruthless. He was completely emotionless. He didn't feel the slightest bit of compassion or pity after seeing Bai Ze in such a pitiful state.
With people like him, This was the most efficient means to solve the problem. Only violence would be understood.
Lin Feng used his sword to carve a slave marking into Bai Ze's face but it was quickly covered by blood. With another slash of his sword he removed one of Bai Ze's Fingers.
Bai Ze was shaking with fear and pain then suddenly, he collapsed.
"What a cruel yet determined young man!" thought many people in the crowd. They remained silent and were fixedly staring at the people in the cage of the Prisoner Arena.
On that day, the crowd had seen a magnificent show. They had seen spectacular fights and something they never expected.
Lin Feng looked as calm and emotionless as before. He was still holding his sword in his hand. He turned around and said in a low voice: "Let's go."
Han Man and Po Jun walked along with Lin Feng. Wen Ao Xue started walking back as well. At that moment, all of those who had come near the cage to help Bai Ze quickly rushed forwards to help him.
"Those who dare to provoke me, die." said Wen Ao Xue in an extremely cold voice. Lin Feng was walking behind him and blood was still dripping from his sword.
Lin Feng's sword had frightened everyone.
Han Man was walking behind them. Each of his steps made the ground vibrate. Everybody already understood how strong he was.
These people knew that if they didn't block them from leaving, they would not lose their life meaninglessly.
A short moment later, the crowd could only see the backs of Lin Feng and his friends.
When they had seen Lin Feng go down into the cage, they didn't know what he intended to do. They also hadn't thought that he would kill the old man who was at the seventh Ling Qi layer.
"Piece of trash! You're just a piece of trash!" A furious voice spread through the atmosphere of the Prisoner Arena after Lin Feng and his friends had left. It was the young man in yellow clothes who was furious. On that day, he had been humiliated by Lin Feng. How could this happen? His family name was Yu!
They had never been humiliated. Who within their right mind would dare to humiliate the Yu Clan?
When the Bai Clan members saw the young man in yellow clothes stand up, they were surprised.
"If someone dares talk about what happened today, I will kill him!!!" said the young man in yellow clothes to those sitting next to him.
They were surprised but they obediently listened and nodded with agreement. Inside of their hearts, they were insulting him though. He had provoked Lin Feng, he had made Bai Ze pay the price for it… and on top of that, he was asking them not to tell this to anyone. He was just scared that he would lose face and make the entire Yu Clan lose face.
"Lin Feng, if you don't die, I'll never regain my prestige." A moment ago, he hadn't dared talk in the presence of Lin Feng because he had been scared that Lin Feng would also punish him. Lin Feng was too frightening. He had seen how Lin Feng had carved a marking onto Bai Ze. How horrible!
Lin Feng had been truly ruthless when he was at the Prisoner Arena!
Lin Feng was in his room lying on the bed. Suddenly, he had the feeling that a hand was almost touching his forehead.
Lin Feng shook his head, stretched and slowly opened his eyes.
A beautiful silhouette was standing in front of him.
At that moment, Meng Qing was looking emotionless. She looked at Lin Feng and said calmly: "You woke up."
Lin Feng's body was sore and felt rigid from head to toe after fighting with the old man, but his vital organs were still functioning properly.
"You stayed here all the time to look after me?" asked Lin Feng to Meng Qing.
Meng Qing shook her head and said: "No, only once in a while."
"Really?" asked Lin Feng not convinced.
"Of course, why?" replied Meng Qing. Lin Feng was surprised and then laughed.
The door suddenly opened with a loud rumble. Liu Fei entered the room. Meng Qing stood up and said: "He woke up, you can go and talk to him."
When she finished talking, Meng Qing immediately left. Liu Fei had a strange expression and looked perplexed.
Meng Qing hadn't left Lin Feng alone for even one second when he was sleeping, why did she hastily leave when he woke up?
"Alright." said Liu Fei while nodding even though she didn't really understand. She walked towards Lin Feng's bed and angrily looked at him which surprised Lin Feng.
He had just woken up, why would Liu Fei already be angry with him? What did he do?
"Why do you act so recklessly, do you never think about the consequences?" asked Liu Fei.
She was obviously angry because of what had happened at the Prisoner Arena.
Lin Feng smiled wryly and thought "consequences?"
When he saw that his friends of the Yun Hai Sect, had become slaves and had been marked like animals after the destruction of the sect, how could he not act?
"For a beautiful and delicate face like yours, I will also act recklessly and ignore the consequences." said Lin Feng jokingly while laughing.
When Lin Feng had finished talking, Liu Fei's heart started racing in her chest and her face completely turned red!! It was both beautiful and delicate!!

Outside of the academy, a certain number of people were walking towards its main gate.
Their leader was wearing blue clothes and magnificent mask. He was a middle aged man and a cold Qi emerged from his body. Amongst the people who were following him there were some Bai Clan members who had witnessed all the events at the Prisoner Arena.
Amongst the people of the Bai Clan was one certain young man. He was wearing a splendid golden mask. His hand was wrapped in bandages. The expression in his eyes looked like a demon coming straight from the underworld. His eyes under his golden mask looked unimaginably evil.
At that moment, two silhouettes jumped in front of them and blocked them the way. They then shouted: "Except for the students and the staff members of the Celestial Academy, nobody can enter the territory the Celestial Academy!"
The middle aged man in blue clothes took a few steps forward, his hair was fluttering in the wind.
"Get lost." said the man in blue clothes. He then made a single movement and the two people who were obstructing the way were blown away in the blink of an eye. People who saw the scene were gasping with astonishment.
"Xuan Qi layer!" surprisingly, a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer had come to the academy.
The group of people entered the academy. The two guards stood up and started walking.
That middle aged man of the Xuan Qi layer was surely here with ill intentions.
The man in blue clothes and the large group of Bai Clan members who were following him arrived in front of one of the palaces. This was the palace where the military students lived.
"Stop!"
Suddenly a large group of people moved in front of the group of people.
The middle aged man in blue clothes frowned and said: "Get the hell out of my way."
"Who the hell do you think you are? Do you not know the rules of the academy?" coldly said one of the men blocking the way.
The man in blue clothes glanced and at him and said: "Please bring out someone who knows how to speak."
"What do you want? Why did you come to my academy?" coldly said a man in black robes at that moment. He was slowly walking towards the man in blue clothes.
"I want you to hand over some people to us." said the man in blue clothes indifferently.
"Hand over some people?" said the man in black robes with a cold smile on his face and then added: "Not only did you break the rules of my academy, but you also dare come and ask me to hand over some of my students?"
The man in blue clothes smiled coldly. He raised his hand and at that moment, the palm of his hand started emitting a radiant light.
When the man in black robes saw the light within the middle aged man's palm, his expression drastically changed.
"You say that outsiders cannot come into the territory of the Celestial Academy but then I would like to ask you something, how can you allow your members to visit my Prisoner Arena and then allow them to kill some of my staff members while kidnapping two of my slaves? Can you explain this to me?" said the man in blue clothes. His voice sounded extremely strict and it was clear how powerful he was from his tone. Force was constantly emerging from his body.
"If you don't hand over those who caused the trouble as well as my two slaves, I will get very angry."
The man in black robes looked terribly annoyed when he heard what the man had said. He was a teacher at the academy which was an extremely high status, but he knew that he couldn't keep the man in blue clothes under control. Those who were with him would also be hard to defeat.
"Who caused the trouble?" asked the man wearing the black robes.
"Some of your military students, Lin Feng, Wen Ao Xue…"
"Wen Ao Xue?!" the man in black robes was stupefied. The man in blue clothes added: "The one mainly responsible for the whole thing is Lin Feng though. You don't need to hand over Wen Ao Xue… but Lin Feng and my two slaves, you must hand them over to me this instant." said the man in blue clothes in an extremely powerful voice while showing lenience towards Wen Ao Xue.
The middle aged man in blue clothes had a very high status and he knew that he couldn't insist on punishing Wen Ao Xue. The academy would never hand him over.
"Go inside, tell Lin Feng and the two slaves to come out here." said the man in black robes to two other people who were standing at his side.
The man in blue clothes seemed satisfied. The one who was standing behind him wearing a golden mask had an incredibly evil light flash through his eyes.
Lin Feng was meditating in his room and suddenly, the door emitted a loud noise which made him open his eyes.
"Lin Feng, come out." shouted a voice. Lin Feng was surprised. That person was so rude. The academy had rules, nobody was able to enter in the living quarters of a student without his permission.
But at that moment, somebody opened his door and told him to come out. Not only was that a violation of the rules but it was also a humiliation.
Lin Feng stood up and stretched. He felt better but he hadn't entirely recovered from his injuries.
Lin Feng looked at the guy who had called him. He was also a student of the academy.
"So, you are Lin Feng?" said the one who had come inside with an indifferent tone.
"What's wrong?" asked Lin Feng while frowning.
"What a moron. He thinks that he can act recklessly because he is Wen Ao Xue's friend. He first provoked Hei Mo and then went to the Prisoner Arena and caused trouble." Thought the students.
The first time when Lin Feng had provoked Hei Mo, Wen Ao Xue was with him… he had then caused trouble at the Prisoner Arena with Wen Ao Xue, so they thought that Lin Feng acted this way only because he thought that Wen Ao Xue could indefinitely protect him. They thought that he was like a dog using his master's power to cause trouble.
"Now, bring the two slaves you kidnapped from the Prisoner Arena. Some people have come to see you." said the student. When he finished talking, he turned around and started leaving.
"Wait, wait!" said Lin Feng. The student immediately stopped and asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng coldly said: "Didn't you forget something?"
The student replied: "Forgot what?" He then shrugged and said: "No, I haven't forgot anything."
"You did." said Lin Feng firmly.
The student seemed angry and said: "Are you playing around with me?"
"I don't have time to joke. You rushed into my room and behaved in a rude way, you could at least make an apology." said Lin Feng while smiling coldly.
"Apologize?" said the student who smiled as if he found the situation funny. He then ignored Lin Feng, turned around and started leaving.
At that moment, a freezing-cold Qi crashed into his body and oppressed him. He was surprised and stopped moving.
He turned around and saw Lin Feng who was slowly walking towards him. Lin Feng's body was releasing a piercingly cold Qi.
"What are you doing?"Said the student with a shocked expression.
"You're only this strong and act with such disrespect. I don't like that impolite behaviour." said Lin Feng while continuing to walk forward. The Qi released from his body was getting more and more intense.
The student was stupefied and was getting more frightened. He couldn't compete with Lin Feng in terms of strength.
"I came in the name of the teacher. Just come with me." said the student.
"Of course I will come with you but you violated the rules of the academy and acted rude to me while inside my home. If that's how you planned to convince me to come with you then you have failed. Do you think disrespecting me will make me obediently come with you? Wouldn't all the others laugh at me for allowing you to act as you please in my home?" when saying these words, an even colder Qi was released from Lin Feng's body. Everything around him had started freezing.
The student was frightened. He only saw Lin Feng raise his fist and saw a ball of frost appearing around it. He then punched towards the student.
"OHH!" shouted the student. He immediately raised his fist and punched towards Lin Feng. The Qi of his attack emitted a rumbling noise in the air as it crashed through the atmosphere. When his fist and Lin Feng's fist collided, the student suddenly felt an acute pain within his hand.
"Get out now." said Lin Feng while kicking him with incredible force. At that moment, the student was sent tumbling outside and his body was covered by a layer of ice.
"Piece of trash of the third Ling Qi layer… acting so arrogant when in my living quarters." shouted Lin Feng. He then said: "wait for me patiently outside. If you enter my living quarters again then I'll cripple your cultivation."

The student remained motionless. At that moment, he felt extremely ashamed especially the people who were passing outside Lin Feng's living quarters at the time had seen him being humiliated.
He had thought that he could behave rudely because the teacher had sent him but in the end he was humiliated and forced to wait outside.
Lin Feng already knew that the student had come because of the issue at the Prisoner Arena.
Lin Feng knew that sooner or later, the people from the Prisoner Arena would come to look for him.
Lin Feng went back into his room and put on his chang pao and then he moved towards the door.
The noise of a door being opened spread to Lin Feng's ears.
"Wait, wait." said a cold and indifferent voice. It was Meng Qing who had opened the door.
"What's wrong?" said Lin Feng while turning around. Meng Qing had already put on her fine veil which was covering her face. She was slowly walking towards him.
"I should always be with you when you go outside." said Meng Qing which made Lin Feng smile wryly but he had a warmth fill his heart.
"Alright." said Lin Feng while nodding. She was worried about his safety but she would never say it.
They both left the living quarters and closed the door behind them.
The student looked at Lin Feng and Meng Qing and said: "what about the two slaves?"
"Bring us outside." said Lin Feng with such a strict tone that the student didn't dare say anything back.
On the way, everybody was pointing at the student while laughing which made him feel more and more ashamed.
At that moment, there was a multitude of people who had gathered outside of the palace. The middle aged man in blue clothes was standing before a group of people while looking majestic.
"He came! Lin Feng came!"
At that moment, the crowd saw Lin Feng slowly come out from inside the palace.
Next to Lin Feng was a gorgeous young girl. Even though she looked graceful, delicate and innocent, a strange Qi was emerging from her beautiful body.
However, two people were missing. The two slaves weren't there at all.
The teacher in black robes looked at the student he had sent to look for Lin Feng and asked him: "What's going on?"
The student scratched his head and didn't dare to reply.
"Piece of trash. Not capable of doing a simple thing." said the teacher in black robes. He then looked at Lin Feng and asked: "Did you cause trouble at the Prisoner Arena and then kidnap two slaves and bring them into the academy?"
"I did cause trouble at the Prisoner Arena but I didn't kidnap two slaves, I only brought back my two friends." said Lin Feng while looking at the teacher in black robes. Only because he had said the word "slave", Lin Feng felt disgusted.
"Slaves are slaves! And they are your friends?! .. How am I supposed to allow slaves to enter into the academy?" said the teacher in black clothes coldly not caring about Lin Feng's face.
"Well then, teacher, I would like to ask you about what makes a person a slave? What does it mean to be a slave?"
"A slave is someone who had been marked as someone's property. Because they are marked they are forever a slave." replied the teacher.
"Well then, teacher, I have another question for you. There is a slave in front of you now, how come you have let him into the academy?" said Lin Feng coldly.
"Huh?" The crowd was surprised. Lin Feng was really audacious to talk that way to the teacher.
The teacher in black robes was perplexed and asked Lin Feng: "Where do you see a slave?!"
"Hm." Lin Feng smiled and pointed at the golden masked person standing behind the man in blue clothes. He then said: "Make him take off his mask and you will find a slave."
The golden masked young man was Bai Ze. How could Lin Feng not recognize him?
"I see that this is how the Celestial Academy works, people are not respected and students are not taught discipline." said the man in blue clothes.
The teacher in black robes suddenly had an ice cold expression on his face. How could Lin Feng make him lose face?
"I told you to bring out the two slaves, did you not hear me?" said the teacher in black robes while fixedly staring at Lin Feng. A strong Qi was emerging from his body. He looked extremely strict.
Lin Feng was surprised and then smiled: "Having such teachers is a disgrace for the Celestial Academy. These people come and cause trouble yet the only people you blame are your own students. You make all the members of the academy, lose face. If you dare to try and punish me, it will affect the reputation of our academy… and it will mean that you are nothing more than the Bai Clans little dog." said Lin Feng coldly.
"PSSSSHHHHH…." a strong Qi emerged from the teacher in black robes. The entire atmosphere was filled with a deadly Qi. How could Lin Feng dare to humiliate him in front of so many people? Did he want to die?
"Do you want to die?!" furiously shouted the teacher.
"Die? I don't want to die this young." replied Lin Feng coldly. He immediately took out a card from his pocket. Everybody was surprised.
"I don't have to respect the rules of the Celestial Academy because on the registration day when I came here, I already met a teacher who was a real bastard, but when I met the vice-principal, he was nice enough to invite me to enjoy all the benefits of the academy without any obligations. He also said that I could bring anyone to the academy. On that day, I wouldn't have thought that I would meet such a crappy teacher so soon. It is rare to find someone who would act like the little lap dog for outsiders. You are a great humiliation for the Celestial Academy and all of its members." said Lin Feng coldly.
The whole crowd was stupefied. The vice-principal himself had invited Lin Feng to join the academy without having any obligations. No wonder he brought people in without any restrictions.
The teacher in black robes was astonished. That card was really a privilege card delivered by the vice-principal himself.
"He just humiliated me, how can I regain my face now? Nobody will ever respect me again." thought the teacher in black robes. The expression in his eyes was incredibly sharp.
"It is the first time that I have heard that someone can obtain a privilege card without being a student at the academy." said teacher.
He then shouted: "How audacious, Lin Feng. You dared steal that card from the vice-principal! Today, I will deliver your punishment on behalf of the vice-principal."
"Steal??" Lin Feng was astonished. He even saw that the crowd was nodding showing that they believed him. Lin Feng was speechless.
"Are you a moron? Do you know how strong the vice-principal is, how could I even steal that card from him?" Lin Feng was sneering at the teacher. The teacher seemed determined to harass Lin Feng in anyway possible.
"You're good at manipulating people but it will not work with me. If you think that you get away that easily then keep dreaming." said the teacher strictly.
Strong force and Qi was emerging from his body and he rushed straight towards Lin Feng. He had moved rapidly because he couldn't let Lin Feng continue to speak. It was unbearable for him and every sentence was making him lose face.
Lin Feng was in grave danger. He had made the teacher furious from disrespecting him.
At that moment, Lin Feng looked indifferent. Behind him, a graceful silhouette immediately moved in front of him.

When the crowd saw Meng Qing, they were all stunned.
The teacher in black robes laughed. More Qi was released from his body. A resplendent bright and dazzling light flashed around his body.
"Stop." shouted a voice in the distance. Everybody stopped moving. That voice deeply penetrated into people's hearts to the extent that it made their souls shake.
The teacher in black robes had also stopped moving. He turned around and saw a silhouette come towards them.
"Vice-principal." the vice-principal had personally come, how surprising!
"Vice-Principal Long." said the teacher in black robes respectfully, he was no longer acting rudely.
"Get back." shouted the vice-principal towards the teacher. The teacher in black robes looked incredibly embarrassed and the whole crowd was stunned.
In view of the vice-principal's behaviour towards the teacher, Lin Feng must have really been personally invited by the the vice-principal.
"Yes, vice-principal." said the teacher in black robes while stepping backwards. He looked extremely embarrassed at his situation.
Vice-principal Long turned around and looked at Lin Feng. He warmly smiled and said: "I will solve this problem myself. You can go back now."
"Go back?!" The crowd was dumbstruck! Against all expectations, the vice-principal really did care about Lin Feng. Lin Feng had caused a problem and the vice-principal went to solve them himself. Everybody was convinced, at that moment, that the man in blue clothes wouldn't dare to touch Lin Feng.
The man in blue clothes frowned. His heart was pounding. He was wondering what Lin Feng's background really was for the vice-principal to attach so much importance to him. The vice-principal was humiliating everybody to protect Lin Feng. Even though the man in blue clothes didn't have a status as high as that of the vice-principal, had the vice-principal not thought of all the people who were accompanying him?
Nobody understood why the vice-principal was acting this way towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was also unsure of why he was receiving such treatment. He didn't understand why the vice-principal was always so kind to him. He didn't know anyone who belonged to the Imperial Clan or any other prestigious clans. He was lost. Although in the future he would eventually come to understand why the vice-principal was helping him.
"Vice-principal, I want to say something but I don't know if I should." said Lin Feng while shaking his head.
"Tell me." said the vice-principal.
"In the academy, there are some great people but there are also horrible people who drag the rest of us down with them. Those people don't deserve to be teachers." said Lin Feng indifferently. His words were sharp and poignant. He was looking at the teacher in black robes while talking.
"Vice-principal, I will assume the responsibility for what I have done at the Prisoner Arena. I don't need anyone to help me." said Lin Feng and continued: "If anyone dares to offend me again in the future then I will not hesitate to take actions myself."
"That guy… How aggressive! But now it's understandable why he dares talk to the teacher that way."
"What a big mouth."
The crowd was making various comments about Lin Feng's behaviour. Even the vice-principal was surprised. Lin Feng was acting very strangely.
Lin Feng didn't know what all these people thought. He turned around and said to the man in blue clothes: "You want me, right?"
"Indeed." said the man in blue clothes while nodding.
"Since you want me and I am standing right here, what are you waiting for?" said Lin Feng in an indifferent tone. The crowd was wondering what Lin Feng meant.
The man in blue clothes saw that Lin Feng was extremely confident. He had an evil smile on his face. Lin Feng could have left just like the vice-principal had told him but he didn't and instead chose to confront the people who came. The man in blue clothes would not have had the power to do anything if Lin Feng had listened to the vice-principal and left. By staying here and challenging them, he definitely wanted to die.
"Take him." said the man in blue clothes. At that moment, two people rushed out of the group and started moving towards Lin Feng while releasing a heavy Qi.
When he saw these two people approaching him, Lin Feng didn't move. He still looked calm and serene.
Then, Meng Qing who was standing in front of Lin Feng suddenly released an extremely cold Qi which moved straight towards these two people. They had the feeling that their spinal cord had frozen in place.
Meng Qing raised her hand and released a terrifying cold force. Their hands immediately froze solid. Very quickly, the ice started to spread all over their body and all of a sudden, they were completely frozen in ice and absolutely unable to move.
"How strong." said the crowd stupefied. No wonder that that girl had dared obstruct the way to Lin Feng. She was extremely powerful.
"Xuan Qi layer."
The pupils of Vice-Principal Long and the man in blue clothes shrank. Lin Feng had never talked about his friends, and an extremely beautiful girl who didn't look very strong was actually this amazing.
What she had done a moment before was only possible for someone of the Xuan Qi layer.
The teacher in the black robes was dumbstruck. What if he had been successful in attacking Lin Feng a moment before?
No wonder Lin Feng was so aggressive. Someone of the Xuan Qi layer was there to protect him at all times. How scary!
The crowd was trying to understand the situation. The vice-principal probably liked Lin Feng for two reasons, because he was strong and because he had a high status. It was not a secret that Lin Feng was extremely talented and powerful, otherwise how could he have such beautiful female friends?
"From the day I spent at The Prisoner Arena, I swore to myself that if I ever saw a member of the Bai Clan again then they would die." said Lin Feng with an extremely cold tone.
The Bai Clan members were astonished. Meng Qing, however had understood what Lin Feng meant. Her beautiful silhouette suddenly transformed into a white lotus flower and she threw herself towards the crowd.
The sky above as well as the ground below all seemed to completely freeze. All the members of the Bai Clan felt extreme cold. They were all covered with layers of ice.
Meng Qing slightly moved her hand and suddenly, every member of the Bai Clan was pierced to the bone with the terrifying coldness.
If these people had been at the Qi layer stage, that would have explained why they were so affected by Meng Qing's attack but even some people of the Ling Qi layer were feeling the cold pierce into them. How was that possible?
At that moment, the man in blue clothes couldn't stand it anymore and felt like he had to get involved. A hurricane-like attack emerged from his body and moved straight towards Meng Qing.
Meng Qing, looking calm and just raised her hand which released ice that moved straight towards the blue clothed man's attack.
"BOOOOOM!."
An extreme coldness spread throughout the atmosphere. Suddenly, two huge blocks of ice which looked like huge diamonds shot from Meng Qing's hand.
At that moment, Lin Feng grabbed onto his sword and in an instant, he arrived in front of all the Bai Clan members who were frozen in place.
"Deadly sword."
Lin Feng's' deadly sword started to flash through the atmosphere over and over again.
Blood sprayed everywhere and the atmosphere had become incredibly bloody. He had already killed a large number of people with his sword.
Just as Lin Feng had said, if he ever saw any Bai Clan members then they would have to die.
Everybody was stupefied by Lin Feng's strength. These people had come to capture Lin Feng and in the end, nothing was happening the way they had expected. Lin Feng was calm and unperturbed… as he was killing all the members of the Bai Clan.
With each stroke of his sword more blood was filling the atmosphere and another member of the Bai Clan would fall dead onto the floor.
Blood was endlessly flowing from Lin Feng's sword. This is what happened when Lin Feng was angered.

At that moment, the man in blue clothes and Meng Qing were in a direct confrontation. The crowd was astonished to see that Meng Qing was much stronger than him.
Even though Meng Qing's style looked very simple, each time her graceful and agile body moved, she would unleash an extremely powerful attack. Her Qi was so cold that it could directly freeze the man in blue. Even though he had a hurricane spirit and was extremely quick, he couldn't avoid Meng Qing's attacks and was forced to fight with her directly.
"What a strong girl. Who is she? Why is she with Lin Feng?" The crowd was amazed. That beautiful girl was remarkably strong.
The man in blue clothes didn't look so majestic anymore. He had a hideous and evil expression on his face. He was furious.
"Hurricane Blade!" shouted the man in blue clothes. His entire body transformed into a hurricane that was actually like a sharp blade lacerating the air as it rushed towards Meng Qing. An incredibly strong and thick Qi was emerging from the hurricane.
"What a powerful martial skill." thought the crowd. They were not near him but could still feel the Qi within his hurricane attack.
The large blade-like hurricane was rushing towards Lin Feng and Meng Qing at full speed.
"Hmph." groaned Meng Qing, this was the first time she had made any noise. Her expression was ice-cold. Her body started to release an incredibly cold Qi.
"Heart of ice, freezing both heaven and earth. Ice reigns over the world." Said Meng Qing while slowly walking towards the man in blue. Her body looked lithe and graceful. A layer of ice appeared around her body and a sharp cold invaded the entire atmosphere. Everything started to instantly freeze around Meng Qing.
The hurricane blade attack froze completely in mid air. The body of the man in blue clothes was progressively freezing inside the hurricane. He was frozen into a huge block of ice.
Every single thing within the atmosphere was frozen solid when suddenly, the block of ice started emitting small cracking noises.
"Krrrrrr…."
"Psshhh…" Suddenly, the man in blue clothes who was trapped inside the huge block of ice transformed into a hurricane then smashed through the ice and flew into the distance at full speed.
He was looking back at Meng Qing with a hideously evil expression in his eyes. His face was covered completely with frost.
Meng Qing's attack had been much too powerful. He would have died if he had stayed inside that block of ice for much longer.
The man in blue clothes would have never thought that such a beautiful young girl could also be so terrifyingly powerful. How frightening!
But Meng Qing ignored him and immediately moved her hand again. This time, she carried out an attack on the Bai Clan members. The atmosphere around them started to grow colder and colder.
Only Lin Feng didn't feel cold at all while stood amongst the group of Bai Clan members.
"Deadly sword." Lin Feng took another step and a black fog emerged from his sword. Lin Feng once again started killing the members of the Bai Clan. At that moment, red blood and white frost started to mix together in the atmosphere.
The middle aged man in blue clothes was enraged when he saw Lin Feng killing the members of the Bai Clan so mercilessly but because of Meng Qing's strength, he didn't dare to move closer to them.
She was a really terrifying existence.
Lin Feng's sword didn't stop glowing in the middle of that bloodbath as he continued to cut down Bai Clan members one after the other. Very quickly, all the members of the Bai Clan were lying dead on the ground. Only one person was remaining within the group.
He was wearing a golden mask and he was shaking from head to toe. This person was obviously Bai Ze.
Under his golden mask, his eyes didn't express anything like hatred or cruelty anymore, the only thing that was remaining inside his eyes was pure fear.
All of the strong cultivators that joined him from the Bai Clan were now lying dead at his feet in a pool of their own blood and the man in blue clothes could do nothing but watch them get slaughtered one by one before his eyes.
Lin Feng raised his long sword. Blood was dripping endlessly from the tip of his sword as he slowly walked towards Bai Ze.
At that moment, Bai Ze fell down onto his knees. His legs were shaking too much from fear. He hated Lin Feng from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he was about to die.
"Last time, I didn't kill you, haven't I already shown you enough mercy?" said Lin Feng indifferently.
Lin Feng's bloody sword was moving closer and closer to Bai Ze who was shaking his head as if he was trying to wake himself from this nightmare. He was hastily crawling backwards while looking at Lin Feng.
"Last time, you said that you would make me a slave. You have not stopped attempting to take my life and continued to provoke me to no end. Now that you are in front of me, why don't you try to kill me, like always?" continued Lin Feng.
"There are some paths on which you shouldn't walk. You have chosen the path to the afterlife, so I will help you achieve your aim." His sword glowed once again and Bai Ze's blood sprayed into the air.
Bai Ze fell heavily onto the ground. He was no longer in the world of the living.
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the middle aged man in blue clothes who was still in the distance. He then said coldly: "If you do not have the courage to come over here then get lost. There is no need to stay here and lose face."
"You will regret everything that you have done today!" said the man in blue clothes with an evil glare.
"No need to keep saying idle threats. You came here today to kill me, so I killed all of the people that came to take my life. Next time, you will come back with even more people to try to kill me and then what? Even more people will be laying dead on the floor beneath my feet." said Lin Feng with an indifferent tone.
He then continued: "If you wanted to keep your face then you should have left earlier. You only made things worse by staying here. You have humiliated yourself. Everybody saw that you are incredibly foolish. Remember each of my words as I say them to you now, I will kill every single member of the Bai Clan that stands before me without mercy. The Bai Clan has no future, I will annihilate the entire Bai Clan."
Lin Feng's words stupefied the crowd. He was completely ruthless. He was planning to kill every Bai Clan member until the total annihilation of the clan.
Nobody had doubts when it came to what Lin Feng had just said. He had just proved it to everyone with his actions. There was a mass of bodies lying beneath his feet in a pool of blood which belonged to members of the Bai Clan.
Offending Lin Feng resulted in death, what a pity for those who offended him!
"I will remember your words." said the middle aged man in blue clothes while looking evil. He slowly turned around and started walking away.
He suddenly transformed into a hurricane, turned around and threw himself towards Lin Feng at full speed. He was extremely quick!
Lin Feng was surprised. He could already feel the man's Qi on his body.
Lin Feng tried to dodge but he could not avoid being wounded. Blood was flowing down Lin Feng's face.
"I will definitely kill you at some point!" said the man in blue clothes and then turned around and started leaving. The crowd didn't realize what was happening.
"You want to die!!!" shouted a cold and furious voice. It seemed like time had stopped. It was Meng Qing. An extremely cold Qi emerged from her body and she immediately disappeared from everybody's view.
At that moment, the man in blue clothes who was leaving suddenly stopped. He looked terrified. An extremely cold Qi had suddenly appeared next to him. He then moved again at full speed in an attempt to escape. The only thing left in his mind was to run away.
"Heart of Ice." White ice shot from Meng Qing's body and moved straight towards the man in blue clothes. He suddenly had the feeling his internal organs were starting to freeze.
"Cough!"
Blood started to flow from his mouth but it was frozen solid… His internal organs had taken a large amount of damage. He couldn't defeat her, so all he could do was escape. He just wanted to escape with his life. This girl was much too powerful.

Meng Qing jumped back through the air and landed next to Lin Feng. She looked like nothing had just happened.
The entire crowd was gasping in astonishment. They couldn't believe what they had just seen with their own eyes. They couldn't believe that such a beautiful and innocent looking girl could be so strong and had injured the evil looking man in blue clothes.
The middle aged man in blue clothes was ridiculous. He had come to capture Lin Feng and he had ended up being scared to death by Meng Qing yet still attempted to show off until the end.
"Are you alright?" asked Meng Qing to Lin Feng with an indifferent tone. Lin Feng smiled wryly. He wished she could sound more tender and affectionate but it seemed like that was impossible for her. Even if she showed him that she was worried about him, her tone was always indifferent.
"I'm alright. Just a small scratch." said Lin Feng while shaking his head and smiling at Meng Qing.
The middle aged man in blue clothes had almost killed Lin Feng. Fortunately, Lin Feng had reacted quickly enough to avoid the strike being fatal.
"I'm quite strong now but I'm still much weaker than a cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer. There is a colossal gap between us." thought Lin Feng. He wished he could rapidly become stronger as he knew how weak he currently compared to others.
Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng's wound but said nothing. She just went behind him once again.
"Let's go back." said Lin Feng and then looked at the vice-principal and said: "Vice-principal, we're off."
"Alright." said the vice-principal while smiling warmly. Deep in his heart, he was also amazed by Meng Qing's strength.
That divine-looking girl was strong, extremely strong.
Besides, the vice-principal had the impression that Meng Qing hadn't used all of her strength and was still hiding her true power.
Lin Feng glanced at the crowd and said coldly: "Remember everything that happened here today. If you provoke me, don't blame me for being impolite." when he finished talking, Lin Feng started walking back to the palace.
The crowd was stupefied. They suddenly thought of Hei Mo. They thought that Hei Mo had been unable to touch Lin Feng because Wen Ao Xue had protected him when he came to the military students palace.
The crowd was stupefied because they thought that Lin Feng had only acted the way he did because Wen Ao Xue was there. Hei Mo also underestimated Lin Feng's actual strength. At that moment though, the crowd would never doubt about Lin Feng's true strength again. He had just mercilessly cut down multiple people of the Ling Qi layer, only requiring a single strike. Lin Feng also had another friend, Meng Qing, who was at the Xuan Qi layer, even Hei Mo would need to be careful when provoking her.
When the crowd thought of Lin Feng's challenge to Hei Mo, they couldn't help but be excited. They were really looking forward to watching the battle. Lin Feng had just shown some of his strength, the crowd couldn't wait to see more.
Even though Meng Qing was definitely the one who had gained the most notoriety, nobody was going to forget Lin Feng's name either. He was definitely incredibly powerful.
Hei Mo's strength, Lin Feng's potential, Hei Mo's background, Meng Qing's incredible strength… How would the confrontation between them end?
Lin Feng obviously wasn't considering what the crowd was thinking. At that moment, Lin Feng wanted to go to the cultivation tower when a sound made him stop.
"Zither!" it was a beautiful melody. Lin Feng could hear someone playing the zither and it was very pleasant to his ears.
"Is it him?" thought Lin Feng who remembered the teacher on the day when he sat the exam to become a military apprentice. The friendly teacher had played the zither for their exam. Lin Feng liked him a lot. The teacher had allowed him to sit the exam twice and admitted that he was wrong to fail him.
The melody that was being played at that moment reminded Lin Feng of the melody the teacher had played, that's why he was the first person he had thought of.
"What's wrong?" asked Meng Qing when she saw that Lin Feng had suddenly stopped walking.
"Listen to the melody of the zither." whispered Lin Feng.
Meng Qing frowned and made a strange face before asking: "Listen to what?"
"The zither." replied Lin Feng.
"Zither?" asked Meng Qing. She then shook her head and said: "I can't hear it."
"Huh?" Lin Feng was dumbstruck. He was unable to be the victim of a hallucination so he could not be wrong. It had to be a zither playing.
Besides, Meng Qing was much stronger than Lin Feng, how could she not hear it?
There was only one explanation, that melody was directed at Lin Feng and he was the only one to hear it.
"Meng Qing, you can go back. I'm going out for a short while." said Lin Feng who had just realized he might be the only one who can hear the melody. However, Meng Qing immediately shook her head and said without the slightest hesitation: "I'm coming with you."
Lin Feng was stupefied when he heard her. He then slightly nodded and said: "Alright, let's go together."
While walking, Lin Feng listened to the uninterrupted melody.
After a short while, the melody started becoming clearer and clearer.
At that moment, they arrived in a magnificent courtyard. There was an ancient pavilion such as the ones they built in ancient China. The grass was green and there were small ponds and streams inside.
Suddenly, magnificent scenery had appeared in front of them.
There was a forest of peach trees in blossom. The flowers and leaves were fluttering in the wind and a sweet fragrance invaded Lin Feng and Meng Qing's nose.
"What a wonderful place. I would have never thought that there was such a place within the academy." said Lin Feng while gasping in amazement. The palaces were imposing and magnificent but were totally different from this scenery.
The other buildings made you want to become strong and practice to become stronger but this place just made you want to sit down, smell the peach flowers in blossom and relax.
"How beautiful." said Meng Qing gasping in amazement as well. She had a peculiar expression on her face.
While walking amongst the peach trees, an ancient pavilion appeared in front of Meng Qing and Lin Feng. There were some tables and chairs made of stone inside.
There was someone sitting inside and he was playing the zither, both hands floating over the strings of the instrument as fluently as a flowing river. Even though Lin Feng and Meng Qing had arrived in front of him, he remained concentrated and kept playing, as if the ten thousand things of creation had nothing to do with him.
That was precisely the teacher who had been in charge of the exam for the military applicants.
Meng Qing suddenly shook her head which surprised Lin Feng.
Lin Feng immediately understood what Meng Qing meant. Even though they had arrived in front of him, she still couldn't hear the music at all. Lin Feng was probably right about the fact that he was the only one who could hear it.
"What a terrific ability…" thought Lin Feng. He had been able to hear the music from very far away and besides he was the only one who could hear it.
"Cultivation, practice, mental state, Qi layers… where water flows, a canal is formed." said the teacher in a deep and mystical way to Lin Feng and Meng Qing. Lin Feng was surprised.
"Compassion and kind heartedness for those in need as well as cold-bloodedness to kill those who are evil, those are the two highest achievements of a cultivator. It enables a cultivator to practice faster and more efficiently. Besides, those who show mercy and are kind hearted will not necessarily kill someone. Everything depends on your state of mind, that's all."
"The deadly Qi within your body is already thick but your state of mind is the wrong one. Even if you already rapidly improve your strength like this, because you tend forget your original intentions, it prevents you from understanding your true potential." These few words as well as the unceasing melody of the zither all penetrated into Lin Feng's eardrums. Lin Feng felt extremely relaxed and serene.
If Lin Feng's state of mind wasn't the correct mindset then he would never be able to mature.
Lin Feng understood what the teacher meant and enlightenment flashed through his eyes.
"You need to meditate more." said the teacher which made Lin Feng's heart jump as if he just understood something.

"Meditation!" whispered Lin Feng.
What the teacher meant is that Lin Feng seemed mature because he had high natural abilities but it was also possible for him to fully unlock these natural abilities.
Kind-hearted people have high natural abilities.
"That's right, what I do doesn't always correspond with my true state of mind." thought Lin Feng. After everything that had happened to him, the pressure from society and all these stupid people who constantly provoked him, it was hard for Lin Feng to find the time to meditate so he could contemplate spiritual problems.
Lin Feng didn't know how to react in certain situations. For example, when Duan Tian Lang destroyed the Yun Hai Sect, he had captured Han Man and Po Jun then sold them to the Bai Clan who then made them into slaves. How could Lin Feng not kill all the members of the Bai Clan? He hated them from the bottom of his heart and hated how they had done that to millions of others. He knew that it was wrong but he couldn't help it. He had to kill them… because those people would repeat their actions on others if they continued to live.
Nobody could escape from the seven human emotions.
The strongest cultivators always acted on their ideals with firm convictions.
"Teacher, may I ask you to teach me how to play the zither?" asked Lin Feng very politely.
"Meditate!" said the teacher indifferently and then continued: "Your thoughts and behavior are not in perfect harmony. You need to meditate more often. You need to forget about the chaos that reigns in our world. You need to wash off the dust you have accumulated in your heart over the years. Don't let the chaos of the world to take control of your pure heart and prevent you from becoming stronger."
"Meditate, cleanse my heart…" repeated Lin Feng in a low voice. As before, the music of the zither penetrated deeply into Lin Feng's heart. Lin Feng sat down in the middle of the peach trees and started meditating. He slowly closed his eyes.
The teacher, as before, wasn't raising his head and continued playing the zither.
When Meng Qing saw that Lin Feng was meditating, she moved behind him and continued to enjoy the view. She looked at the peach trees in blossom with pure admiration. She had never seen peach trees in blossom in her life because there weren't any within the Black Wind Mountain.
The music was extremely peaceful and auspicious. It enabled people to forget everything and let the music invade deep into their hearts.
In Lin Feng's mind, different images appeared, the moment when he first arrived in the Continent of the Nine Clouds until the moment when he was disowned by the Lin Clan and when he had to leave Yangzhou City. When he had returned to the Yun Hai Sect, Duan Tian Lang annihilated the Yun Hai Sect. Then, he recalled the moment when he had left for Duan Ren City. All of these images were still very clear in his mind.
But in Lin Feng's mind, there was no hate and no pain. It was as if he was another person who was observing all these things from the outside. He was calmly looking at all these moments in his mind. His heart was filled by the beautiful melody of the zither and was very peaceful.
The music was probably suited for meditation. Even his spirit didn't represent as a hindrance to him benefitting from the positive effects of the music because it wasn't harmful to him. It was helping him to wash away all of the negativity and hatred that had gathered in his heart.
Lin Feng was feeling so relaxed that he progressively fell asleep.
The leaves of the peach trees were still fluttering in the wind. After some time, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw the teacher who was still calmly playing the zither.
Meng Qing was still looking as pure and innocent as ever, she was still standing there motionless. She almost looked like a statue which had been there since the beginning of time.
Lin Feng slowly got up. At that moment, he looked surprised and had a strange expression on his face.
"Fifth…. Ling Qi layer?" Lin Feng checked his cultivation level. That's right, he had suddenly broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer.
"Meditation, the result is amazing." thought Lin Feng. He had a big smile on his face. Breaking through to the different Ling Qi layers wasn't easy… but Lin Feng had broken through to the fourth Ling Qi layer a short time before and was on the precipice of breaking through to the fifth, but was unable to. Surprisingly he had broken through to the next Ling Qi layer during meditation.
"Thank you, teacher." Lin Feng had been able to break through to the fifth Ling Qi layer thanks to the help from the teacher so he was feeling very grateful.
The teacher finally stopped playing. He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng with a soft and tender expression.
"No need to thank me. You broke through to the fifth Ling Qi layer relying on your own power. The pure Qi in your body was already enough. You had already reached the peak of the fourth Ling Qi layer which is why you managed to break through to the fifth Ling Qi layer so quickly. I just helped you clean the negativity which was holding you back." said the teacher while smiling. His tone really showed how much he appreciated Lin Feng, he treated Lin Feng like his own son. Even though the teacher's strength and power was probably immense, he had never been arrogant like the other teachers Lin Feng had encountered in the past.
"If you hadn't played the music then I wouldn't have come here. If you hadn't played the music to help me then I wouldn't have broken through to the next Ling Qi layer. Teacher, thank you so much." said Lin Feng honestly and wholeheartedly while smiling.
The teacher slightly nodded then smiled and said: "Alright, I am happy that I could help."
Lin Feng had a warm smile on his face and said: "Teacher, last time, you said that you would teach me how to play the zither, can you teach me now?"
The teacher looked at Lin Feng and said: "Are you not afraid of wasting your cultivation time? Shouldn't you be improving your cultivation level right now?"
"Improving my state of mind is part of cultivation training." said Lin Feng while smiling. The teacher was pleasantly surprised and was nodding his head with a smile.
"Since you want to learn how to play the zither, I will teach you." replied the teacher. "Whenever you have time, feel free to come here and I will teach you. Today, I just want you to listen. You must listen to others first before you can learn how to play for yourself."
"Alright." said Lin Feng. Listening to the zither helped him improve his cultivation and it was pleasant to listen to, there was no reason to refuse.
The teacher once again started playing the zither. Lin Feng and Meng Qing sat down next to each other under a peach tree and listened to him play.
In Lin Feng's room, a few people had gathered. Lin Feng, Liu Fei, Han Man and Po Jun.
Lin Feng looked at Han Man and Po Jun and said: "Are you guys sure?"
"Yes, Lin Feng, big brother, I am sure." said Han Man while nodding his head. He was wearing a golden mask to cover the slave mark on his face.
These slave marks that were carved into their faces would most likely be there forever… but if they managed to reach a higher cultivation level then they would possibly be able to remove them. This is why Han Man and Po Jun were eager to become stronger as quickly as possible. Who could live with the shame of having such a mark on their face forever?
"Lin Feng, big brother, I'm sure too." said Po Jun. They were both older than Lin Feng but they still called him "big brother" as a sign of respect. Lin Feng wasn't going to contradict them either. They were both two years older than him, it wasn't that large of a gap. It would be very different if they were much older than him.
"Alright, I will not try to prevent you from doing It." said Lin Feng while looking solemn and nodding. He then looked at Liu Fei and said: "Fei Fei, sorry for bothering you, could you write the letter and give it to them please?"
Liu Fei nodded, took out a pen and immediately started writing.
"Han Man, Po Jun, what weapons do you use?" asked Lin Feng.
"I don't need weapons. The earth is my weapon." said Han Man while shaking his head.
Po Jun didn't reply for a few seconds and then said: "I use a spear."
"Alright." said Lin Fen while nodding. Lin Feng stretched his hand, a light flashed and suddenly a pitch-black spear appeared in Lin Feng's hand.
"Huh?" Po Jun and Han Man were stunned. Had the spear really just appeared from out of nowhere?
"No need to be surprised, I have a precious stone which enables me to carry a great deal of items with me at all times." said Lin Feng. Po Jun was extremely moved. Not only had Lin Feng saved his life but he was also so kind and generous towards him.
"Po Jun, that spear is for you." said Lin Feng while handing over the spear to Po Jun. As he grabbed the spear, suddenly the Qi from the spear rushed into his flesh and blood.
It was as if that pitch-black spear was alive!
"This is a spiritual weapon. Be kind to that spear and take care of it during battle." said Lin Feng.
Han Man and Po Jun wanted to go and protect Duan Ren City.
"Spiritual weapon?!" Po Jun's eyes shrank. He had already heard of spiritual weapons before.
Spiritual weapons contained an extremely sharp energy and a pure Qi. They were extremely precious. Cultivators of the Ling Qi layer would rarely get the chance to use spiritual weapons but surprisingly, Lin Feng was giving one to Po Jun.
Po Jun felt like his hand was incredibly heavy.
At that moment, Liu Fei came back to them and gave a letter to Han Man: "When you arrive in Duan Ren City, give that letter to my father and he will understand."
"Alright." said Han Man while nodding. He then said: "Lin Feng, big brother, we're off."
"Be careful." said Lin Feng while nodding. Han Man turned around and started walking. He was determined but their training wasn't going to be easy.
Po Jun bowed in front of Lin Feng and followed Han Man.
Lin Feng couldn't accompany them outside, it would have drawn too much attention. He just looked at their backs as they left and hoped they would take good care of themselves.

Liu Fei was standing behind Lin Feng, she looked at the two silhouettes and said softly: "Don't worry, they are strong. If there is a problem at the border, they'll know how to handle it."
Lin Feng didn't comment at all. The border was a dangerous place, how could she guarantee that it wasn't dangerous?
But Po Jun had said that with the slave marks on their faces, they would have to constantly wear masks while inside the Imperial City, so the best solution was to go and protect the border.
Po Jun's decision was that of a hot-blooded cultivator and required a great deal of courage, these were the traits required when studying as a military student within the academy.
"You have almost completely recovered from your injuries but you still need to rest more." said Liu Fei when she saw that Lin Feng wasn't replying.
Lin Feng laughed and said: "So you really do care about me?"
Liu Fei's expression changed and she said: "Who else would? You perverted bastard."
While talking, Liu Fei immediately walked towards the door. Lin Feng smiled wryly. It seemed like Liu Fei would always consider him to be a pervert.
Lin Feng shook his head and started to leave. Behind him, he could hear that someone was following him. It was Meng Qing. She was silently following behind him.
Lin Feng stopped, turned around, smiled wryly and said: "Meng Qing, you don't need to come with me this time."
Meng Qing shook her head and didn't reply. She just moved closer to him. Lin Feng's wry smile grew several times larger but he didn't say anything. After all, Meng Qing was just worried that something could happen to Lin Feng.
Besides, it wasn't a bad thing if Meng Qing was with him when he was outside. He had a lot of enemies.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen this time. I will be careful." said Lin Feng again but Meng Qing remained indifferent no matter what he said.
"Meng Qing, people won't recognize me this time but if you are with me, they will instantly recognise us." said Lin Feng while taking out a silver mask and covering his face.
Meng Qing finally reacted and immediately said: "Alright, you go alone but be careful."
"I will." said Lin Feng while slightly revealing his face for a few seconds to smile to her. He then turned around and left.
Lin Feng arrived in front of a place which looked like a small city inside the Imperial City. He paid the tax and entered. Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the Prisoner Arena.
Just like last time, the Prisoner Arena was filled with a large number of people. Lin Feng looked at that sea of people from the top of the arena.
Lin Feng started walking down the stairs, he was slowly able to see the arena more and more clearly.
Inside the cage, there were more slaves and ferocious beasts. That was a scary place filled with the smell of death.
At that moment, someone moved in front of Lin Feng and obstructed his way.
Lin Feng's looked at the person in front of him from under his mask. Lin Feng gave him a purity stone of medium quality and the other person immediately let him pass without any problems. He was approaching the lower rows of seats.
Lin Feng sat down on one of the first rows and calmly looked at the arena.
At that moment, a snake beast was fighting against a cultivator. The head of the snake was flat and wide. It looked really ugly. Black smog was coming from its mouth.
That snake was very vigorous. It was still small compared to its matured state. It was a second level Ling ferocious beast. It still needed time to reach maturity.
Ferocious beasts and practitioners were quite similar when it came to cultivation. Fighting enabled both to become stronger with increased life and death experiences. Just like humans, all ferocious beasts were not equal. Some humans had high natural talent and abilities while other didn't. Ferocious beasts were the same in that aspect. There were some of them which could become terrifying when attaining maturity while some others had a very limited strength.
That species of beast was already incredibly strong when reaching the Ling level. It was even said that when reaching the peak of the Ling level, they could sometimes defeat some other ferocious beasts of the early Xuan level. They were usually extremely strong. But the snake which was battling at that moment was only a second level Ling beast. It was far from reaching maturity.
What surprised Lin Feng is that he surprisingly recognized the cultivator who was fighting against the snake. He knew him incredibly well.
It was Lin Hong, Lin Ba Dao's son, Lin Qian's brother. He used to study at the Ice and Snow Mountain Village before but had come to join the Holy Courtyard.
At that moment, Lin Hong had already broken through to the second Ling Qi layer. Lin Feng didn't have the impression that Lin Hong was particularly strong. The Lin Clan used to hate Lin Feng and called him a piece of trash. They thought that he was exceptionally weak. But at that moment, he had already broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer. There was probably no junior member of the Lin Clan who could defeat him. Amongst the elders of the clan, there also wasn't many who could defeat Lin Feng. The fact that Lin Hong had already reached the second Ling Qi layer was actually quite normal and was nothing exceptional for someone of his talents.
Lin Feng glanced at the crowd. Then, a group of people drew his attention. They were also sitting on the viewing platform. They were watching Lin Hong and muttering between themselves.
"Look at that snake, even though it is very strong, Lin Hong can easily defeat it. Lin Hong's ice attacks could easily freeze the entire snake. He will obviously win this battle."
"Hehe, of course. It's great that Miss Qian allowed Lin Hong to fight against that snake."
Lin Feng could hear everything that these people were saying. He smiled coldly. It seemed like Lin Qian has also gained strength from when they last met. She was sitting with Chu Zhan Peng who had also become a student at the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. With his strength, it would be easy for him to take care of Lin Qian. Being close to him, Lin Qian's status in society could only climb higher and higher.
"Ice and Fire Universal Spirit… I wonder what your cultivation level is these days…" thought Lin Feng. He then stopped looking at Lin Qian. She meant nothing to him anyway.
He turned around and continued to watch the battle. At that moment, Lin Hong's Qi was oppressing the body of the snake and he was close to winning the battle.
At the same time, Lin Qian, who wasn't sitting that far away from Lin Feng, frowned when she looked at him. She looked at Lin Feng's silver mask. The person who was wearing that silver mask was sitting in the viewing platform and calmly watching the battle. A light flashed through Lin Qian's eyes.
"Huh?" thought Lin Qian while intensely staring at that silver mask. Back in Yangzhou City, she had already seen that mask… and at this moment, she saw the same mask again.
"Could it be a coincidence?" thought Lin Qian.
She could never forget the piece of trash who had been expelled of the Lin Clan, wore the same mask.
It couldn't be him though because the Yun Hai Sect had been completely destroyed. The survivors had mostly become slaves. It was impossible for Lin Feng to calmly sit there in the Prisoner Arena and comfortably watch battles. Besides, he was sitting in the front rows…
Lin Qian hadn't learned about the fact that Lin Feng had survived. She just knew that an entire army of Chi Xie armored cavalry had gone there and destroyed everything. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if someone had managed to escape? That sort of rumor would never spread anyway, it would be too ridiculous to believe!
At that moment, Lin Hong finally defeated the snake, he took his eight purity stones of medium quality and walked towards the exit of the cage.
The one in charge of that side of the cage brought the dead body of the snake out and replaced it with a new ferocious beast.
When the crowd saw the new ferocious beast, they were all stupefied.
That ferocious beast was entirely red and was covered with flames.
An extremely sharp Qi emanated from its body.
That ferocious beast looked incredibly hideous. When it opened its mouth, a wide forest of teeth sharp as razors appeared. That beast looked so majestic that it almost looked like the king of beasts.
What astonished the crowd is that it had two fiery red wings on its back.
"What a terrifying ferocious beast." thought Lin Feng when he saw it. It looked majestic and an extremely strong Qi was released from its body. Looking at it was almost enough to scare people away. Even when the one in charge of the cage had brought the beast inside, he had been very careful as if he was scared that the ferocious beast could attack him at any moment.
"It's a Daemonic Fire Lion. What the…." many people recognized the Daemonic Fire Lion. It was an extremely terrifying species of ferocious beast. There were some rumors about them which were widely known. If it reached the Xuan level, it was said to acquire special powers and become almost invincible.
The man who brought the beast into the cage started talking loudly: "This is a Daemonic Fire Lion. It is a Fifth level Ling beast. The person who defeats it will win twenty purity stones of medium quality. If you are able to tame this beast without killing it then you can even take it away with you."

When the one in charge of the cage finished talking, the crowd burst with excitement.
The one who could tame it could take it away with him! That was incredibly tempting for all the cultivators in the arena! Owning such a beast would provide a cultivator with terrifying battle ability.
But the problem was with taming the beast, being unsuccessful would likely result in death.
Most of the people in the crowd would never want to fight against such a powerful ferocious beast. Besides, even cultivators at the fifth Ling Qi layer probably wouldn't be advised to fight against it. It would be extremely hard for them to stay alive, let alone tame the beast.
Then, the one in charge of the cage started talking again: "Of course, to enter the cage you should be at least at the fifth Ling Qi layer to fight against it. If you have broken through to inferior Ling Qi layers, you can also fight against it, but it would not be recommended. If you can't tame it, then just kill it. We will also give you a hundred purity stones of medium quality."
Many people were tempted to give it a try.
The group of people with whom Lin Qian had come with were all students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. At that moment, everybody was staring at Lin Qian.
"Mu Fan, don't you want to capture that daemonic fire lion?" said one student to another called Mu Fan. He was captivated by the lion in the cage.
He had broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer, the same level as that ferocious beast.
"Mu Fan, bro, if you want to give it a try, I can talk to the guy running things, then even if you lose it won't be a big deal, just don't get injured." said another student.
Mu Fan was growing more and more tempted.
If any of them had to go into the cage then Mu Fan was probably the best choice.
If he won and managed to tame the beast while fighting it, he could take the beast away as his own, but he probably would have to give up on the twenty purity stones of medium quality. They probably would not give the purity stones and also let you leave with the beast, it would be too great of a prize. Even if he lost, it wasn't a problem either as long as he didn't get injured. Who could refuse such a tempting offer?
Suddenly, Mu Fan looked relaxed and said: "Alright, I will give it a try."
Mu Fan looked delighted. From what he had understood, the other student was actually proposing to give the lion to him as a present. That was exactly what it was in Mu Fan's head.
"Mu Fan, brother, you're very brave." said the other student.
Mu Fan then jumped through the air and landed in front of the cage. His eyes were filled with greed when looking at the beast.
"What a nice agility technique, Mu Fan, bro! Show them how powerful we students at the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are!" shouted another of Mu Fan's fellow students so that everybody could hear.
"Oh, so they're students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, no wonder they are so strong."
"The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are so amazing. They will probably become the most important people within the country over time."
Various comments spread throughout the crowd. The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had a proud and arrogant expression on their face when they overheard all of the comments.
Since the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had been created, some other cultivation academies and institutes had already started suffering from its power. The students of the Holy Courtyard were always trying to make their institute gain in prestige and reputation. They wanted it to become the first cultivation institute in the country. In the future, the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would probably become much more influential than the Celestial Academy and would also become much stronger than all the sects of the country.
The students from the Holy Courtyard felt extremely proud.
Lin Qian's beautiful face expressed a lofty arrogance. It was very clear to her that in the future, she would go back home wearing luxurious clothes and show to everyone how prestigious she had become after she left Yangzhou City.
Mu Fan was walking towards the door of the cage and was about to get in when suddenly, a silhouette appeared in front of him.
The students of the Holy Courtyard suddenly all had angry looks on their faces, especially the young boy who had been trying to convince Mu Fan to go and fight against the lion. He looked particularly angry.
That person only needed to take one more step to enter the cage. When Mu Fan saw the scene, he could help but shout: "STOP!"
The silhouette in front of him stopped. He was wearing a silver mask which gave everyone the sensation of coldness.
That person was of course, Lin Feng.
"What's wrong?" said Lin Feng aggressively. His voice sounded strange when he was wearing the silver mask.
"Oh, I see. Your Highness, haven't you seen that I was the first one to come?" said Mu Fan sarcastically. He was convinced that there had been nobody in front of him when he had moved towards the cage. Lin Feng had come from behind him and passed by to the cage.
"Did you say to the person running things that you wanted to enter into the cage?" asked Lin Feng coldly.
Mu Fan had an ugly expression on his face. He had, not actually announced to anyone other than his fellow students that he wanted to battle against the lion.
When Lin Feng saw that Mu Fan wasn't replying at all, he continued: "Since you didn't announce that you would be the person to fight against the lion, the rule is: the first one to go inside the cage is the one who gets to battle."
A light flashed through Mu Fan's eyes and he said: "My fellow students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue really want me to fight against that lion. Give me that battle otherwise I'll lose face in front of them."
When saying that, Mu Fan made sure to clearly and loudly state the words "Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue". He had said these words loudly and slowly to make sure that Lin Feng would hear him and understand his meaning.
Lin Feng smiled. The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue?
"I'm sorry, I've never heard of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue and besides, I don't know you so I have no reason to care about your face." said Lin Feng. At that moment, many people were stupefied. How strange! He had never heard of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue!
All the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue stood up and furiously looked at Lin Feng. That guy was crazy!
"Don't do something that you will regret." said Mu Fan while evilly staring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng laughed and said: "Oh really, I really don't know what you mean?"
Then, Lin Feng turned around and was about to enter the cage.
"Wait, wait!" Said someone while quickly interrupting Lin Feng's movement. Lin Feng stopped, turned around and saw it was another student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. It was precisely the one who had convinced Mu Fan to go fight against the lion.
"What do you want now?" said Lin Feng while smiling coldly.
All those people were students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, they were Mu Fan's fellow students. Lin Qian was also sitting amongst them.
"Let my brother Mu Fan fight this lion." said the young man coldly and indifferently yet sounding strict.
He was wearing a set of magnificent and expensive clothes. It was clear to see that he was a noble from a powerful family at a single glance.
"Since when do you decide who can fight or cannot in the cage of the Prisoner Arena?" asked Lin Feng coldly.
"I didn't decide about that. You can ask the one in charge of the arena who arrived first." said the young man indifferently. He sounded quite confident. Everybody turned around and looked at the man who had brought the lion into the cage.
The man pointed at Mu Fan and said indifferently: "He was the first one to arrive at the cage. He will fight this beast."
When he heard these words, a huge smile appeared on the face of the young man who had just helped Mu Fan.
When Lin Feng saw the arrogant expression on Mu Fan's face as well as on the faces of the other students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, he said: "You're the one who decides here, good. I will not return to this place to be scammed into paying for this. I also advise to everybody else never return to this place again, stupidly spending purity stones to watch pathetic losers fighting rigged fights."
When the young man heard Lin Feng, he frowned and said: "What do you mean?"
"Was I not clear enough for you? I will explain again then." said Lin Feng while smiling underneath his mask: "I have heard a few times about the scandals which take place here. Surprisingly, there were some people who were seen losing fights in the cage but were saved. Can you believe it? I didn't believe the rumours but now I see that this kind of scandal must actually be a common occurrence. The Prisoner Arena is unable to properly apply their own rules. This place is a joke."

When the crowd heard Lin Feng, they all started whispering amongst themselves. Many people had also heard about the scandals which occurred here and some had even witnessed these things with their own eyes.
At that moment, the faces of the young man and the man in charge of the cage drastically changed. They looked extremely cold.
When the man in charge of the cage saw that Lin Feng had returned to the viewing platform and didn't try to come into the cage, he turned to Mu Fan and said: "Alright, since the problem is solved and you were the first to arrive at the cage, you may enter. Show everyone how majestic and heroic the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are. Show to everyone how easy it is for people like you to tame the Daemonic Fire Lion."
Everyone was surprised. The man didn't care at all about what Lin Feng had just said.
Lin Feng had been the first to arrive at the cage, so why was the man now saying that Mu Fan had been the first one to arrive? Lin Feng was disgusted. Besides, the man was also publicly advertising how great the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was. Lin Feng thought that such obvious methods were pathetic.
But of course, Lin Feng's words had made everyone furious. He had humiliated them all, and not everyone could just ignore him.
"I don't want to hear anything else from your filthy mouth." said the young man on the viewing platform coldly.
Lin Feng looked at him through his mask, laughed and said: "That's the way noble cultivators do it, by cheating. If you want to give him the Daemonic Fire Lion as a present, you just decide to change the rules of the Prisoner Arena and use your influence to rig the fights… Isn't it nice to be able to use such a grand arena to give presents to your friends?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Directly giving him the Daemonic Fire Lion as a present will not help the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue gain prestige, so the whole purpose of this fake show has failed." said Lin Feng coldly and indifferently. His words were getting sharper.
Most people in the crowd agreed with Lin Feng. Even though Lin Feng was being very aggressive, nobody could refute what he was saying. He had been able to force the man to give Mu Fan the right to enter the cage before Lin Feng only because the young man on the viewing platform had a high status. That was unfair. This was definitely premeditated.
The young, noble cultivator was furious. At that moment, Mu Fan looked at Lin Feng and said: "Since you're angry about it, then why don't we fight and the winner can go inside."
"For what reason would I battle against you?" said Lin Feng while glancing at Mu Fan. He then indifferently said: "You never said that you wanted to battle against the lion in the first place and I arrived before you, but you still wanted to go in first by using unfair arrangements." said Lin Feng.
Mu Fan would definitely win the battle against the Daemonic Fire Lion, but that wouldn't be a real victory because it wouldn't help the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue gain a better reputation. It would actually be the opposite. It would be a humiliation for the Holy Courtyard. Mu Fan didn't want that.
Mu Fan smiled and said: "I understand now. You just have a big mouth and like to talk big, but in practice, you aren't able to do much."
"Exactly! Apart from a big mouth, you don't have much else to show! You don't even dare show your true colours."
"Hehe, how could that liar compete with Mu Fan anyway? Mu Fan is considered as a genius at the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. Defeating the Daemonic Fire Lion is a piece of cake for him."
Each and every single student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was bragging about how great their institute was as if they were all extremely strong, as if they were all the best cultivators in the world just because they cultivated in that institute.
Lin Feng then said: "The Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue seems be filled with the mightiest cultivators in the entire world. It seems like I was pretty ignorant!"
"Yes, he acted recklessly. He surprisingly dared to provoke Mu Fan." More and more people firmly believed that Lin Feng was scared to fight against Mu Fan.
But at that moment, Lin Feng smiled and said: "But I am really curious to see how strong a genius of the mighty Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue really is."
All the students of the Holy Courtyard were pleasantly surprised. Lin Feng surprisingly accepted the fight, which meant that he was going to die and they would regain their face.
Everybody looked at Lin Feng, who slowly turned around and said: "You and me go inside the cage. If you win then you get to live, but if you lose then I will kill you. How does that sound?" When Lin Feng finished talking, the entire atmosphere in the Prisoner Arena became completely silent. Everybody, especially the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, was astonished.
If you win then you get to live, but if you lose then I will kill you…
Lin Feng knew how to talk big!
Many people had their mouth wide open and simply stared blankly at Lin Feng. How cruel! How heartless! Not only had he accepted the battle, but he was proposing a battle to death. He was probably sure that he was going to win, otherwise he wouldn't stupidly gamble with his life at stake.
Mu Fan was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. How could that guy be so arrogant as to propose a battle to the death?
When Lin Feng saw that nobody was talking, he smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I only know how to talk big and overestimate myself. After all, he's a genius of the mighty Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. He proposed the battle to save himself from losing face. I've just been showing off so far, but the students of the majestic and great Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue should be able to easily defeat me. After all, he has the power to defeat a daemonic fire lion extremely easily. There is no reason for him to refuse."
Lin Feng sounded extremely aggressive and was clearly making fun of him. The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue were gnashing their teeth and fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
Immediately after, they looked at Mu Fan. The prestige of the entire Holy Courtyard was in his hands at that moment.
When he felt that everybody was staring at him, Mu Fan felt oppressed. He felt like his heart was weighed down by a thousand ton weight. After everything that happened, he had no way out of this situation. Defeating Lin Feng was the only possibility, as he had to show everyone that he was strong and protect the reputation of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue.
If he didn't fight, he would never be able to look people in the eye again. People would also start to have a mediocre opinion about the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue as well.
Mu Fan had no choice.
Besides, he could see Lin Feng's eyes through the mask. His eyes always looked calm throughout their whole exchange. Seeing such emotionless eyes staring at him was terrifying.
Lin Feng had challenged him to a battle to the death, could it be that he was sure of his power to win?
Mu Fan wasn't weak. He was quite strong and confident in his own power. But at that moment, Lin Feng's confidence had shaken his belief in his own power. He felt like the pressure was too high.
A light flashed through Mu Fan's eyes and he said, while gnashing his teeth: "I accept your challenge to a battle to the death."
"Now, let's get into the cage." said Mu Fan coldly while walking inside.
"Wait, wait." said Lin Feng at that moment. Mu Fan stopped, turned his head and said: "What's wrong?"
"You and the man in charge of the cage already have an arrangement, as I already stated. I don't want to fight with both of you in the cage at the same time."
"What do you mean? Do you think that I am going to interfere and hurt you?" asked the man in charge of the cage to Lin Feng.
"The same thing happened a few days ago here. I heard the story on my way here. If it has happened once, then it can happen again. I heard it is also a very normal thing here."
The man in charge of the cage was speechless. He looked at Lin Feng and asked: "Well, what do you want?"
"I want someone else to referee our battle to the death. Of course, it cannot be a student of the Holy Courtyard and it also cannot be someone who works here in the Prisoner Arena."
"Pfff, where are we supposed to find someone like that to referee the battle? You are being ridiculous. Are you fighting or not?" said Mu Fan impatiently.
But at that moment, someone in the crowd spoke: "I will referee your battle to the death."
At that moment, everybody looked at that person. He surprisingly wasn't sitting in the first rows of the viewing platform. He was actually a young man who sat at the back of the viewing platform.
He looked incredibly friendly and courteous. He had a warm smile on his face, which gave the impression that he was incredibly friendly and easy to get along with. But he also gave other people the impression that they were inferior in comparison with him.
The noble, young man shrank back when he saw that young man. He was gasping with astonishment.
It was him! He surprisingly was there!

The smiling young man moved down towards the arena and slightly nodded at Lin Feng. He then said: "I'll referee the life and death battle, but I don't know if anyone has any objections to me being the referee?"
Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised. The young man had a very kind and friendly look to his face. He had a warm smile on his face, and he gave off a gentle impression. He was perfect to referee. Nobody would believe he held ill intentions when seeing the young man.
Even though Lin Feng didn't know him, he thought he seemed like a perfect referee.
Lin Feng's gut feeling made him think that there must be something wrong. It was too perfect to possibly be true.
"I agree with that." said the young, noble and wealthy cultivator. He looked surprised.
Mu Fan was astonished when he heard his friend. Mu Fan didn't know the young man who had just appeared. However, the young man who had proposed to be the referee had to have a high status; otherwise, his friend would have never accepted. Besides, he couldn't contradict the young noble cultivator even if he wanted to.
"What about you?" asked the young man towards Lin Feng. He smiled and added: "Don't worry, I will make sure that the rules are applied and that you both can have a fair battle. I will also make sure that nobody comes provoke you after the battle."
What nice words!
Lin Feng looked pensive. He was trying to guess who that young man could be, but he had no idea. Lin Feng was sure that the young man had a very high status and wasn't an ordinary person.
"Alright, since it's that way, you can referee our battle." said Lin Feng while nodding. Even though Lin Feng had the impression that it was too perfect to be true and that there was something happening behind the scenes, he still agreed. If he had a high status, then he wouldn't propose to referee and then violate the rules; he would lose face… And that would be unnecessary.
"Thank you." said the young man while smiling and nodding his head in a very polite way.
Lin Feng turned around, looked at Mu Fan and said: "Shall we."
Mu Fan stared at Lin Feng's eyes but couldn't see anything inside except coldness and calmness. There wasn't the slightest bit of anxiousness.
The man in charge of the cage left.
Mu Fan and Lin Feng were facing each other in the cage. Lin Feng still looked calm and fearless.
Mu Fan raised his head and asked ironically: "I am Mu Fan, student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, would you like to tell me your name?"
"Duo Ming." said Lin Feng without thinking.
At that moment, Lin Qian and Lin Hong were astonished!
"Duo Ming!"
Why did that name sound so familiar! His name was surprisingly Duo Ming.
Back in Yangzhou City, Lin Feng had also worn that mask when he introduced himself as Duo Ming.
"Lin Feng?" whispered Lin Hong. It was such a coincidence that Lin Hong couldn't believe they were different people.
"It can't be Lin Feng." said Lin Qian while shaking her head. "If it were Lin Feng, how could he remain that calm while next to us? He even calmly glanced at us a few times. Besides, Lin Feng was not weak but in Yangzhou City, he had only recently broken through to the first Ling Qi layer… It is impossible that he broke through to the fifth Ling Qi layer within half a year."
There was a four layer difference between the first and the fifth Ling Qi layer and it was a huge difference. The great majority of people required much more time to achieve something like that. If somebody was able to break through to two Ling Qi layers in less than a year, they were definitely a great genius. But even the greatest cultivation genius in the world could never break through four Ling Qi layers in six months."
Lin Hong nodded when he heard Lin Qian. Lin Feng would have never been willing to fight against the Fifth level Daemonic Fire Lion. Therefore, it was impossible for that person to be Lin Feng.
What was happening at that moment was just a coincidence, nothing more.
Inside the cage, Mu Fan laughed and said: "Duo Ming? We'll see if your arrogance is founded."
When he finished talking, Mu Fan released a cold force which crashed into Lin Feng's body and oppressed him. He had the feeling his body was being weighed down by a mountain of weight.
"Force?" Lin Feng was surprised. He hadn't thought that his opponent would be able to control forces. No wonder that the noble young man was willing to give him the Daemonic Fire Lion as a gift. Mu Fan was a talented genius and would probably be able to tame the Daemonic Fire Lion with only a little work.
When Mu Fan saw that Lin Feng was surprised, he felt proud of the power he had obtained. It seemed like Duo Ming had overestimated himself after all. If he was already feeling oppressed by such a small amount of force, it would be easy to win against him.
"You just have a very big mouth! You're oppressed by just a little bit of force. Your strength doesn't even enable you to resist my power. Don't worry, I can release much more force than this. You could never compete with me. I now know that I was wrong to think you could be my opponent. You were just rushing to your own death." said Mu Fan.
When he finished gloating, he took a step forward and released even more force which immediately surrounded Lin Feng's body, causing him to feel extremely heavy.
"Force, so what?" said Lin Feng while smiling. His body made a slight movement, and suddenly, the force around his body weakened a great deal.
Lin Feng took a step forward, transformed into a shadow and then he moved directly into the opposing force.
With each movement Lin Feng made, whirlwinds were created around him and the atmosphere was emitting noises which sounded like tearing paper.
It seemed like Lin Feng wasn't affected by the force and was tearing through it.
"Huh?" Mu Fan frowned and groaned. He took another step forward and released an incredible amount of his force, which emanated extremely high-pitched whistling sound. His force was getting sharper and sharper as it moved towards Lin Feng.
But at that moment, Lin Feng raised his hand and ignored the force released by Mu Fan. Something, which looked like a poisonous Qi, emerged from Lin Feng's hand and surprised everyone.
Lin Feng controlled force on a much higher level than Mu Fan. The force he released was different from that of Mu Fan. Because Lin Feng had a great deal of understanding when it came to forces, he knew how to make force almost invisible or change it to a thicker and heavier force. That is why Mu Fan's force didn't affect Lin Feng in the slightest.
When the crowd saw the small amount of force that Lin Feng was using, which wasn't sharp at all, they were all surprised and had the impression that he was in an incredibly dangerous situation.
"I can control forces and my attacks are extremely powerful. Besides, I have already broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer. I am not scared of you at all." said Mu Fan while laughing. He stamped his foot onto the ground, which made a cloud of dust rise into the air.
An even larger quantity of force emerged from his body and was moving towards Lin Feng's shadow at full speed. Suddenly, a bright white light illuminated the area between them. Everybody's eyes were wide open watching this scene.
"That guy is very strong. He can move quickly, he can control forces and I can even feel some pure Qi." said some people in the crowd while gasping in astonishment.
It seemed like Mu Fan was incredibly dangerous. He definitely deserved to be a member of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. He was extremely strong. The situation was getting dangerous for Lin Feng.
"Hehe, that guy, Duo Ming, will regret that he acted so aggressively against brother Mu Fan. He will not be able to withstand a single attack that our brother Mu Fan will launch. Mu Fan will definitely be able to kill Duo Ming with little effort." said the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. They all agreed on that and were all convinced that Lin Feng was just going to die.
Lin Feng's calm expression never left his face. It seemed like everything that was happening had no effect on him, as if the battle wasn't affecting his mood at all.
Lin Feng and Mu Fan were moving closer and closer to each other. The forces were getting more and more intense within the atmosphere. Dust was sent flying all around. The two silhouettes were becoming hidden within the cloud of dust.
There was still energy in Lin Feng's palm, which emitted a dazzling light.
"Psss…" Suddenly, a small noise spread through the air, and a small dark light flashed through the air which made Mu Fan's body freeze in terror.
"Energy attack…"
How terrifying! In his mind, Mu Fan could only see the hideous silver mask transforming into an omen of death!

Energy attacks were an extremely powerful tool for cultivators.
Not only did it enable a cultivator to absorb all the energy around them, it also enabled them to control it and use it as their own.
The energy attack was incredibly faint and did not look dangerous at all, but in fact, it was terrifyingly powerful.
Mu Fan's force was absorbed by Lin Feng's energy attack. All the energy in the atmosphere was combining and adding to Lin Feng's power. How could he compete with him?
At that moment, Mu Fan understood that Lin Feng could use an energy attack, which is why he hadn't been affected by his attacks. A cultivator of the fifth Ling Qi layer who could carry out energy attacks was beyond strong… How frightening!
Mu Fan had only thought about retreating and escaping once he saw the energy attack!
A cloud of dust appeared around Mu Fan and he started retreating backwards at full speed.
"Too late." said Lin Feng in a terrifyingly cold tone. Lin Feng moved like a shadow and his hand was rushing towards Mu Fan's body.
"BOOOOOM!!"
A gigantic cloud of dust appeared all around the cage. Lin Feng's energy attack had struck Mu Fan's body in the blink of an eye, tearing apart Mu Fan's body and leading to his immediate death.
"Huh?" The crowd was wondering what was happening inside of the cage. They couldn't see anything through the cloud of dust that was surrounding the cage.
The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue were nervously looking at the cloud of dust and trying to see what was happening inside.
"Hmph, that guy, Duo Ming, dared be that aggressive and arrogant. He must already be dead by now. It's a shame that we cannot see his end through the dust." said one of the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, which confirmed everyone's thoughts about the battle. Nobody was worried about Mu Fan losing against some nobody with no background.
That's right. How could a person, whom nobody knew, compete with a genius of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue who could control forces and had broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer? However, they did not know that the person was Lin Feng, and he could easily overshadow Mu Fan. They would never put the likes of commoners in their eyes.
"Brother Mu Fan, congratulations on your victory." said the young noble student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. He was convinced that Mu Fan had won the battle. If he lost, all of the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue would lose face. How was it possible for Mu Fan to lose to a nobody?
"Don't get excited too early." said a cold and indifferent voice coming from the cage. Everybody was astonished, and they could feel their hearts pounding in their chests.
"Someone who has no determination to risk their life on the path of cultivation. Someone who relies on status and puts themselves high above other cultivators… can never be strong." said the voice coming from the cloud of dust, which was slowly fading until only Lin Feng could be seen standing in the cage.
Lin Feng slowly turned around. Mu Fan's body was lying on the ground in a terrible state. There was no doubt when looking at this scene that Mu Fan was dead and almost split in two.
"Boom." It was if a bomb had detonated in people's brains. Their hearts were racing at full speed. The result of the battle was completely different from what they had expected. Lin Feng had won the battle.
They had never heard of this person before and he was wearing a silver mask to hide his face… yet he had required only his bare hands to mercilessly kill a genius of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue with a single strike.
Lin Feng's eyes were still calm and his emotions were still steady; he had known the result of the battle since the beginning.
"Mu Fan lost?" Each and every single student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had their eyes wide open in shock. They couldn't believe the results of the battle, especially that Lin Feng had required only a single bare handed strike to kill Mu Fan.
"Hehe, a genius of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue only amount to this much, I see." said Lin Feng indifferently.
Everybody from the Holy Courtyard felt anger in their hearts. They had been humiliated time and time again by his words. Lin Feng had just humiliated the students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue to the extreme and thus indirectly humiliated the entire Holy Courtyard.
If the geniuses of the Holy Courtyard of Xue were not even strong, how could it even have a chance to become recognized as the strongest institute?
The students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue had such evil expressions in their eyes that it wouldn't be surprising if they ignited and flames burst forth.
"You were lucky to win, that's all… So you shouldn't be arrogant like that." said the noble and wealthy young man, which stupefied Lin Feng.
How was it possible to be so unbelievably shameless?
"Alright, shall we test my luck again? You can be the next to come down and fight me." said Lin Feng while raising his head to look at the young man. The young man was shocked.
When Lin Feng saw that the young man wasn't replying, he continued: "I guess as a student of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue, you are too weak to fight against me. Go and flap your filthy mouth somewhere else."
The young noble student furiously glared at Lin Feng.
"Each and every single one of you keeps bragging about how strong and powerful you are, but when you are in a real battle, you cannot withstand a single attack. You often advertise how great the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is, but you are relying on such weaklings who fight rigged battles. You are all remarkably shameless." said Lin Feng ignoring the young man's expression and then continued: "But I understand that you guys need to gain some prestige. You need to make other people believe that the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is influential and powerful… but it is clear from what happened that the Holy Courtyard only knows how to put on a show."
Lin Qian was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. This guy's words were sharp… His words had killed all hope of the publicity strategies having any success for the Holy Courtyard.
Everybody was wondering why this young man hated the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue so much that he would directly interfere with their publicity efforts.
The friendly young man was staring at Lin Feng and paying attention to every single movement and detail of his body.
"He's only broken through to the fifth Ling Qi layer and he can already carry out energy attacks… That's not an easy accomplishment." thought the friendly young man who had been the referee. He still had a warm smile on his face, and he said: "Winner!"
At that moment, a silhouette was quietly leaving the cage.
Lin Feng wasn't talking anymore. He turned around, looked at the cage and started to leave. Lin Feng said to the man in charge of the cage "Can I come in now"?
The noble young man still did not reply to Lin Feng.
It seemed like everybody actually gave a great deal of face to the warm and friendly young man. He then said: "Since he won the fight, what are you all looking at him for?" Everybody was surprised, especially the students of the Holy Courtyard, who then nodded in a docile way.
"Alright then, twenty purity stones for killing it or you can tame it." said the man in charge of the cage to Lin Feng.
It seemed like everybody was particularly scared of the friendly young man, especially those students of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue. Who could talk that calmly and make the students of the Holy Courtyard obey so easily?
Lin Feng was looking at that daemonic fire lion and smiled. That beast was really a terrifying monster.
It was extremely strong, quick and agile. These two wings could lacerate the atmosphere.
How could the noble young man refuse to offer it to Mu Fan? Besides, if Mu Fan had accepted, he would have had a debt towards the noble young man.
Lin Feng happily handed over twenty purity stones, and the man in charge of the cage immediately let go of the daemonic fire lion. He looked at Lin Feng with an envious expression.
"ROAR." roared the daemonic fire lion. Its body started shaking and it moved towards Lin Feng. It opened its gigantic mouth and unleashed flames from its mouth. The entire atmosphere was fire red and filled with a scorching heat.
Lin Feng was surprised. He jumped up into the air, brandished his long sword and moved it towards the beast.
