Snow Moon Kingdom, with numerous sects and countless family forces, but truly powerful ones are few.
The Royal Family is undoubtedly the strongest among all forces in Snow Moon Kingdom, with influence spanning the entire vast nation, unmatched and undefeatable. No one dares to oppose them.
Below the Royal Family, within the Imperial City, there are several very powerful forces, such as the Yue Family of the Imperial City, the Yu Family, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Outside the Imperial City, there are also some very strong sects, such as their Cloud Sea Sect, the Hao Yue Sect where Dapeng Gongzi resides, as well as the Luoxia Sect and the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa.
The Eight Young Masters dominate Snow Moon, representing the youth of Snow Moon Kingdom. They are the eight individuals with the best talent and the strongest strength, hailing from these forces. However, Cloud Sea Sect has none.
Although a single person with the strength of a Young Master level is not enough to affect the foundation of a sect, what about the future? Ten years from now? Twenty years from now?
Nan Gongling was well aware that this was a sign of the sect's decline and decay. The sect's fortune was failing, with no successors, and talents were withering away. If this continued, the sect would inevitably head toward destruction—this was the general trend.
In recent years, Cloud Sea Sect had undoubtedly been moving in the direction of decline, gradually being left behind by those other forces. As the Sect Leader, how could Nan Gongling not be anxious?
The appearance of Lin Feng and Han Man gave him hope, a glimpse of the sect's fortune.
With Lin Feng's strength and talent, given time, he would surely become a figure on the level of the Eight Young Masters. Only then could Cloud Sea Sect catch its breath.
The current Cloud Sea Sect appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging—it was very dangerous.
"I hope they can grow into the hope of Cloud Sea Sect." Nan Gongling looked at Han Man on the Life and Death Platform, sighing inwardly. That person in the Imperial City had already begun to establish the Snow Moon Holy Academy—this was not a good sign at all.
At this moment, Han Man stamped his foot again. On the Life and Death Platform, it was as if rolling yellow sand was roaring, causing Wang Han's body to tense up. The pressure bearing down on him was vast and heavy, making him unable to bear it.
"I am not your match. Congratulations on entering the Inner Sect."
Wang Han suddenly relaxed his entire body, closing his eyes slightly, his tone filled with melancholy. To surrender without a fight was a disgrace to a martial artist, but to fight would only be to humiliate himself.
"Haha, brother, don't take it to heart. I just had the advantage of my Martial Soul." Han Man's aura abruptly vanished, and his whole demeanor returned to its simple and honest appearance, making people feel close.
"Thank you." Wang Han nodded to Han Man, then turned and walked down the Life and Death Platform. Although Han Man had saved his face, defeat was still defeat. The victor is king, the loser a bandit; he had no face to stay here any longer.
Han Man came to Lin Feng's side and said happily with a smile, "How was that? Didn't embarrass you, did I?"
"Not bad." Lin Feng nodded with a smile. Having grasped momentum, the advantage in battles of the same level was too great. Unless one encountered someone with extremely strong talent, one could already stand undefeated.
The subsequent battles had nothing to do with Lin Feng, but he still stayed to watch all of them, absorbing everything he could learn.
"My target is the Butcher. That guy is too strong—defeated a Core Disciple with one move and entered the Core ranks."
Han Man's eyes lit up after watching this round of the competition. It wasn't just him; others felt the same, especially during the Butcher's battle. It was too domineering. None of those who could become Core Disciples were pushovers, but they still couldn't withstand the Butcher's tyranny. With just one punch, he knocked them unconscious.
"Lin Feng, what about you? Who is your target?" Han Man suddenly asked.
"Me?" Lin Feng was startled, then shook his head with a smile. "I haven't decided yet."
Lin Feng truly hadn't decided. Most of the Outer Disciples of Cloud Sea Sect were at the Qi Martial Realm. To enter the Inner Sect, one needed strength at the Spirit Martial Realm.
The First Layer of Spirit Martial Realm was the foundation for Inner Disciples, while the Third Layer of Spirit Martial Realm was considered strong among Inner Disciples. Once someone broke through to the Fourth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, they would want to challenge Core Disciples and enter the Core ranks.
Of course, challenges often ended in failure. The weakest Core Disciples were at the Fourth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, and they were already at that level when they entered the Core ranks a year ago. They had also replaced previous Core Disciples by defeating them. It could be imagined that as time passed, the strength of Core Disciples would only grow stronger. Challenging a Core Disciple was no easy feat.
But even so, every year during the sect competition, many still challenged. This opportunity came only once a year.
There were too many Inner Disciples stuck between the First and Fourth Layers of Spirit Martial Realm. Only by entering the Core ranks could one stand out, have a broader space, and receive focused training from the sect.
However, having been reborn with three heaven-defying Martial Souls, how could Lin Feng's sights be set only on the level of Inner Disciples or Core Disciples? Moreover, even if he reached the Core Disciple level, what then? An Inner Sect Elder like Mo Xie was enough to crush him and make it hard for him to breathe.
The first round of the sect competition came to an end. The crowd dispersed while discussing, still not fully satisfied, and grew more and more expectant for the second round three days later.
The ranking battles of Inner Disciples and Core Disciples—true clashes of the strong. All the sect's talented disciples would go all out in the ranking battles to obtain good rankings. The excitement of the battles was beyond doubt.
Lin Feng and the others did not disperse with the crowd. Instead, they headed toward the training grounds of the Inner Sect disciples of Cloud Sea Sect. Now that they had entered the Inner Sect, they needed to collect their Inner Disciple tokens and uniforms—symbols of their status.
"Lin Feng."
Just then, a voice came from behind Lin Feng as he was walking, causing him to stop. He turned around and saw a graceful figure walking toward him.
"Is there something?" Lin Feng looked at the approaching Liu Fei, somewhat surprised.
"Can I talk to you alone?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Liu Fei's eyes as she glanced at Han Man and the others.
Talk alone?
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. What could Liu Fei possibly need to talk to him about alone?
Although the arrow Liu Fei had shot at Mo Xie's Martial Soul that day had completely erased Lin Feng's prejudice against her, it wasn't enough for them to be close enough for a "talk alone," was it?
"Haha, of course, no problem. Lin Feng, we still have some things to do, so we'll be going first."
Before Lin Feng could speak, Han Man spoke up first, acting very magnanimous. He pulled Po Jun and Jing Yun along and left, leaving Lin Feng stunned. When had this guy become so "smart"?
Something to do? Wasn't it just collecting Inner Disciple tokens and uniforms?
By now, Liu Fei had already walked up to Lin Feng, her face a bit embarrassed, and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. He was also curious about what Liu Fei wanted from him.
"Lin Feng, do you remember the first time we met?"
"I remember. That time, I almost got shot dead by you." Lin Feng muttered. That woman's domineering nature had left a deep impression on him.
"If you hadn't been peeping at me, why would I have shot at you?" Liu Fei glared at Lin Feng, very displeased.
"Where exactly was I peeping at you?" Lin Feng was equally displeased, his eyes scanning up and down Liu Fei's body. Entering the One-Line Sky was purely a coincidence, but this woman insisted on accusing him of peeping.
"You..." Seeing Lin Feng's gaze, Liu Fei almost vomited blood from anger. This bastard... such a lecherous look.
Seeing Liu Fei's reaction, Lin Feng felt a surge of satisfaction. Since you want to falsely accuse me of peeping, then I'll just look openly. But to be honest, this woman's face and figure could be considered top-notch. There must be plenty of people who want to peep at her...
"Fine, I admit it. I misunderstood you. I apologize to you."
Liu Fei gritted her teeth. If it weren't for her father, she wouldn't have come to find this guy and humble herself.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was completely baffled by Liu Fei's act. His eyes kept sizing her up, trying to discern some clue from her eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Being stared at by Lin Feng, Liu Fei felt extremely uncomfortable, and a faint blush even appeared on her face, leaving Lin Feng stunned again. Could it be...
"You're not..." Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei with a strange expression, hesitating, causing Liu Fei's beautiful eyes to stare at him without blinking.
"You're not... interested in me, are you?" Lin Feng finally blurted out. He couldn't be blamed for thinking wildly. Liu Fei's behavior was just too unusual, coupled with his performance today. The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Remembering that in his previous life he had never been in a relationship, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
Liu Fei was stunned for a full several seconds. Finally, a roar she could no longer hold back burst from her mouth: "Bastard..."
