Chapter 577: Chapter 486: Absolutely Unforgivable?
"Those with Twin Star talents can no longer be simply measured by level.
Those who possess Twin Stars, even if both stars are of Human Level, have talents not to be underestimated, and their cultivation speed is not much slower than those with Earth Level, High Rank stars.
Both of Lin Feng’s stars are of the Earth Level, one Sixth Rank and the other Seventh Rank. Such a Star talent is comparable to the Heavenly Level stars; hence, the Sky-reaching Peak Master is very pleased.
The Sky-reaching Peak Master has very high requirements for his disciples, seeking quality over quantity. Those with ordinary talents, the mediocrities, are not needed by Sky-reaching Peak; thus, there are only a few disciples in the entire peak.
Although Sky-reaching Peak has only a few disciples, its overall strength is completely incomparable to the other Eight Peaks; however, each disciple is a favored child of heaven, a dragon or phoenix among men, each capable of matching thousands of disciples from other peaks alone.
"Very good! Lin Feng, are you willing to accept me as your master?"
The Sky-reaching Peak Master asked with a faint smile and a serious voice. Although Lin Feng was willing to come to Sky-reaching Peak, and it would be unlikely for him to refuse, he still asked formally.
"I am willing!" Lin Feng nodded firmly.
"Mm, good!" The Sky-reaching Peak Master nodded slightly.
Then, Lin Feng performed the formal rites to become a disciple.
"Lin Feng, from today onwards you are my direct disciple, the eleventh disciple of Sky-reaching Peak. From now on, you must share in the fortunes and misfortunes of Sky-reaching Peak. Do you understand?" the Sky-reaching Peak Master said gravely.
"I understand!" Lin Feng nodded.
"Congratulations to the eleventh junior brother for joining Sky-reaching Peak!"
"Congratulations to the eleventh junior brother!"
Tian Chen, Hua Suifu, and the other two youths came forward to offer their congratulations.
From this moment, Lin Feng truly became a part of Sky-reaching Peak.
"Let me introduce you!" Tian Chen said to the eleventh junior brother.
Tian Chen pointed to two young men, one dressed in black and the other in moon-white, introducing them to Lin Feng: "These two are your eighth senior brother Feng Shaoyu and ninth senior brother Yun Fei."
"Nice to meet you, eighth senior brother, ninth senior brother!"
Lin Feng bowed to the two youths, with eighth senior brother Feng Shaoyu having a stern face and a tall figure, while ninth senior brother Yun Fei was slightly plump with a round face.
"Eleventh junior brother is too polite, we are now fellow sect brothers, take care of each other!"
Feng Shaoyu and Yun Fei were without pretense, reciprocating the gesture to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng closely observed them both; these two individuals had extremely powerful cultivations. Ninth senior brother Yun Fei was a Heavenly Martial Master Third Layer, whereas eighth senior brother Feng Shaoyu was a Heavenly Martial Master Fourth Layer.
"Lin Feng, having accepted you into my tutelage, I now present you with a welcoming gift!" the Sky-reaching Peak Master said with a slight smile, flipping his hand to produce an ancient-looking longsword.
"Seeing that you are a swordsman, this King’s Divine Weapon is gifted to you!" said the Sky-reaching Peak Master.
"King’s Divine Weapon?" Lin Feng was surprised, knowing that the King’s Divine Weapon was a Level Six weapon, and he had not expected this benefit. He quickly thanked the Sky-reaching Peak Master before taking the longsword.
This longsword was grey and white in appearance, simple and unadorned, but as soon as Lin Feng injected a strand of Vigorous Origin, an incredible sharpness burst forth from the sword.
"Great sword!" Lin Feng was overjoyed.
"Mm, this treasure sword, named ’Heavenly Punishment’, is a Middle Grade Level Six weapon, enough for you to use until you reach the Martial King Realm!" the Sky-reaching Peak Master said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Feng stowed away the Heavenly Punishment Sword, thanking the Sky-reaching Peak Master again.
The Sky-reaching Peak Master waved his hand, saying, "Your diligent cultivation and strength enhancement are the best gratitude for your master. If you ever need any cultivation techniques or martial skills, feel free to come to me!"
Lin Feng nodded vigorously, inwardly feeling the benefits of having a powerful master!
"Alright, you all can go back now!" A moment later, the Sky-reaching Peak Master glanced at the several disciples and waved his hand.
"Disciple takes his leave!"
"Disciple takes his leave!"
The five disciples, including Lin Feng, bowed one by one, then respectfully exited the grand hall.
"Eleventh junior brother, you must work hard in your cultivation. In a little over half a year, the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition of our Heavenly Spirit Sect will take place; you cannot tarnish the name of Sky-reaching Peak!"
Ninth senior brother Yun Fei said with a smile, then turned to Tian Chen, "And you, my tenth junior brother, strive for a breakthrough in cultivation!"
"Hehe, don’t worry, ninth senior brother! My breakthrough in cultivation is on the horizon!" Tian Chen laughed proudly.
"Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition?" Lin Feng looked puzzled at ninth senior brother Yun Fei.
Seeing Lin Feng’s confusion, Yun Fei explained, "The Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition is a contest among all Outer Disciples under the Earth Martial Master level from all Nine Peaks!"
Lin Feng suddenly understood; the so-called Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition was simply the Outer Sect competition.
In the Heavenly Spirit Sect, all disciples below the level of Earth Martial Master, regardless of their peak, were Outer Disciples. Only Earth Martial Masters could become Inner Sect Disciples, and those at the Martial King Realm were known as Saints.
Saints held a very high status, surpassing Outer Elders and even some Inner Sect Elders in prestige.
"The Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition is held once every three years, determining the resource allocation for the Nine Great Peaks for the next three years. In the past competitions, my Sky-reaching Peak always had someone reach the top three; this year, it all depends on seventh sister [Hua Suifu]!"
Yun Fei shook his head as he looked at Hua Suifu.
Currently, among the Outer Disciples of Sky-reaching Peak with cultivation levels below Earth Martial Master, there were only the five of them. Other than Hua Suifu with a Heavenly Martial Master Seventh Layer, the highest cultivation level among the four was Heavenly Martial Master Fourth Layer. Even if they had extraordinary combat abilities, it would still be impossible to defeat other peaks’ top Heavenly Martial Master Ninth Layer experts.
Thus, for this year’s Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition, if Sky-reaching Peak wanted to enter the top ten or even the top three, it all depended on Hua Suifu.
