Chapter 583: Chapter 488: Breakthrough_2
After devouring more than four hundred Level Four Ninth Layer Meteors, Lin Feng’s Star once again advanced a grade, reaching the Eighth Rank of Xuan Grade.
Lin Feng sighed with emotion, the Fourth Layer Ninth Rank Meteors were indeed excellent, with soul power being hundreds of times more powerful than that of a Level Four First Layer Meteor. Just over seven hundred meteors allowed his Demon Dragon Star to advance two levels.
The next two hundred or so meteors were even simpler for Lin Feng to devour, almost within a quarter of an hour, they were all consumed by him.
However, those two hundred or so meteors were not enough to enable his Star to ascend a grade again.
"Time to enhance cultivation and bolster physical strength!"
Lin Feng wasn’t disappointed and got ready to devour Spirit Stones. Only by raising his cultivation to the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Master and improving his physical strength to match the level of a Fourth Layer Heavenly Martial Master could he stand a chance against Zheng Renjie. This was also his confidence.
Furthermore, if Zheng Renjie’s power wasn’t extraordinary enough, Lin Feng would certainly slay his foe in the battle.
It had been more than half a month since the last time he advanced two levels in cultivation, and Lin Feng’s cultivation had now become much more condensed. He was completely ready for another breakthrough.
"Explode!"
Taking out a pile of Spirit Stones, Lin Feng uttered a soft shout and immediately began the absorption process.
The entire room was immediately filled with dense Spiritual Energy to the extreme, and Lin Feng’s figure was completely submerged.
It was a long time before the room returned to calm, and all the Spiritual Energy had completely vanished.
The next morning, Lin Feng walked out of the attic full of vigor.
At this moment, not far from the attic, on the plaza, a few silhouettes were standing.
Lin Feng turned and saw that it was Tian Chen, Hua Suifu, as well as his eighth senior brother Feng Shaoyu and his ninth senior brother Yun Fei,
Apart from them, there was also a young man in white, with an upright figure and handsome features, looking suave and debonair in his white clothing.
Lin Feng walked over briskly, and soon came to the group.
"Eleventh junior brother, we are here to cheer you on in today’s battle!"
Tian Chen said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, his eyes wide and staring intently at Lin Feng.
"Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer?"
Tian Chen was dumbfounded as if he had seen a ghost, stammering, "Eleven... Eleventh junior brother, weren’t you... Didn’t you just break through to the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Master? How did you break through to the Second Layer so quickly?"
Tian Chen couldn’t wrap his head around it. In such a short amount of time, Lin Feng’s cultivation speed was just too exaggerated!
Even for a monstrous genius like him, he couldn’t help being shaken inside as this completely defied common sense!
Hua Suifu was also momentarily taken aback, showing a look of disbelief.
Yun Fei and Feng Shaoyu, who didn’t know that Lin Feng’s cultivation was at the True Spirit Realm when he first came to Sky-reaching Peak, weren’t as surprised.
"Eleventh junior brother, we are here to support you. Go and fight Zheng Renjie without any reservations. Even if you lose, we will ensure your safety!" Ninth senior brother Yun Fei said with a laugh.
"Indeed!" Feng Shaoyu was not much of a talker, just giving a slight nod.
"Thank you, senior brothers!" Lin Feng thanked everyone, then his gaze turned to the elegant young man in white.
With a smile, Yun Fei introduced him, "Eleventh junior brother, this is our fifth senior brother Jun Wuxi, of the True Xuan Realm, and also a genius ranked within the top hundred of the Thousand Pride List in the East Continent!"
Lin Feng suddenly realized, so this was his fifth senior brother Jun Wuxi. He immediately clasped his fist towards the other party and said, "Greetings to the fifth senior brother!"
"Fifth junior brother, no need for formalities!"
Jun Wuxi smiled lightly, then his eyes suddenly sharpened, saying, "I have only one thing to say to you: those who dare to insult Sky-reaching Peak shall be killed without mercy!"
Lin Feng nodded solemnly upon hearing this. It seems this fifth senior brother was also a ruthless man!
Lin Feng took a deep breath; this battle would be his first battle since joining the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and also his chance to make a name for himself as a disciple of Sky-reaching Peak.
"Senior brothers, let’s go!" said Lin Feng.
After that, they all soared into the sky, heading towards Luotian Peak with an imposing momentum.
Tian Chen and Hua Suifu also recovered from their shock and quickly followed.
...
At the Luotian Peak plaza, a large number of disciples had gathered, many Outer Disciples from other peaks had also rushed over to Luotian Peak, because today was the day of the battle between Lin Feng, the newly admitted disciple of Sky-reaching Peak, and Zheng Renjie.
Every disciple of Sky-reaching Peak was a monstrous talent, each with a significant reputation within the Heavenly Spirit Sect. People were curious whether the new disciple of Sky-reaching Peak was as extraordinary as the others!
"Why hasn’t Lin Feng arrived yet?"
"Maybe he won’t come after all. They say he’s just a Heavenly Martial Master at the First Layer. Even if he’s extraordinarily talented, he’s no match for Zheng Renjie. It’s very likely he won’t show up!"
"He wouldn’t chicken out, would he? It was Lin Feng who actively challenged Zheng Renjie to fight to the death!"
People chatted idly while waiting for Lin Feng’s arrival.
At that moment, the sound of breaking wind rose, and several figures flew rapidly from the direction of Sky-reaching Peak.
"Lin Feng is here!" The crowd was invigorated.
Swoosh!
Lin Feng flew at the forefront and soon arrived above the plaza of Luotian Peak.
His eyes scanned all around, but Lin Feng did not see Zheng Renjie, and he immediately burst out shouting.
"Zheng Renjie, come out and face your death!"
Lin Feng’s words became a roaring wave of sound that spread throughout the entirety of Luotian Peak.
"Lin Feng is so arrogant!"
"This guy seems pretty confident!"
"So Lin Feng actually has the cultivation of a Heavenly Martial Master at the Second Layer!"
The crowd was shocked; Lin Feng’s imposing manner was menacing, suggesting he had confidence in certain victory!
After Lin Feng’s outburst, there was silence on Luotian Peak for a short while, then the sounds of slicing wind were heard again.
"Lin Feng, you’re seeking death!"
Zheng Renjie flew over from afar, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived above the plaza, facing Lin Feng in the air.
"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect you’d really dare to come. But since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!"
Zheng Renjie’s face was full of murderous intent. Today, he must kill Lin Feng, as the Elders of Luotian Peak had already ordered it.
Luotian Peak, unlike the Eight Peaks and Sky-reaching Peak, not only had numerous disciples but also plenty of Elders. Just now, an Elder from Luotian Peak had given him an order—to kill Lin Feng.
Why the Elder wanted him to kill Lin Feng, Zheng Renjie was clear: there had been enmities between Sky-reaching Peak and Luotian Peak. Tian Chen had killed three on Luotian Peak last time, and with Lin Feng’s brash arrival at Luotian Peak this time, those Elders naturally did not want Lin Feng to leave unscathed.
However, due to the strength of Sky-reaching Peak Master Huangfu Qing, the Elders couldn’t take direct action, hence they ordered him to do it.
"If you want to keep me here, let’s see if you have the skills!" Lin Feng’s eyes were icily determined, his body pulsing with Vigorous Origin, as the aura of a Heavenly Martial Master at the Second Layer fully erupted.
"Heavenly Martial Master at the Second Layer? Still nothing to be concerned about!" Zheng Renjie was disdainful, yet he wasn’t careless. The aura of a Martial Master Fourth Layer also burst forth, his robust Vigorous Origin encircling his body.
Everyone distanced themselves, giving the two of them enough space.
Tian Chen, Jun Wuxi, and a few other Sky-reaching Peak individuals stepped back as well; today, Lin Feng was the protagonist.
Hum!
An ancient, gray-white longsword appeared in Lin Feng’s hand, then Vigorous Origin poured into the longsword. The blade immediately shone brilliantly, releasing dazzling, five-colored light and emitting terrifying Sword Power in all directions.
"King’s Divine Weapon!"
Zheng Renjie was startled, frowning involuntarily; he did not expect Lin Feng to possess a King’s Divine Weapon.
A King’s Divine Weapon could at least double the strength of Heavenly Martial Artists, but remembering he was two cultivation levels higher than Lin Feng, Zheng Renjie relaxed slightly.
"Zheng Renjie, you said the weak must submit to the strong. Today, we’ll see who’s the weak and who’s the strong!" As soon as Lin Feng’s words fell, he took the initiative and struck first, his sword piercing the sky toward Zheng Renjie.
Instantly, an incredibly sharp, five-colored Sword Qi pierced through the air, carrying a fierce killing intent sweeping across, creating a storm in its wake.
"What?" Zheng Renjie noticed Lin Feng’s attack, raising his eyebrows in surprise. As the saying goes, the strength of a master is known with one move. Lin Feng’s sword strike had power comparable to a full-force blow from a Martial Master Fourth Layer at their peak.
"Break!"
But Zheng Renjie was not afraid. Being a Swordsman himself, he countered with a sword strike of his own. The sword light flashed, and terrifying Sword Qi slashed in reverse.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang out as the two Sword Qis collided, warping the space around them, with the burst of Sword Qi turning into a sky full of fine cuts, shooting into the void.
The onlookers were secretly alarmed; Lin Feng’s strength was truly formidable, as just that one sword strike was more than ten times stronger than an ordinary Martial Artist at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Master.
