Chapter 1729: The Meaning of Enfeoffment as King
"Enfeoffment as king?" Lin Feng heard this new term and was quite curious. In the world of martial arts, there were monstrous talents who could be called king bodies, but what did so-called enfeoffment as king mean?
"Lin Feng, you don't know about enfeoffment as king?" Great Pest asked Lin Feng.
"I only know that king bodies exist," Lin Feng replied.
"That makes sense. In Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, no one might dare to claim the title of king. But in Holy City Central Continent, it's different. In the Central Continent, countless monstrous talents emerge, clashing with each other. There are absolute powerhouses who can look down on all heroes, dominate an era, crush the monstrous talents that emerge, and ignore geniuses of several generations. They possess invincible strength and have the qualifications to be undefeated. These people, whether they are king bodies or not, all dare to claim the title of king, and few can contend with them."
Great Pest explained to Lin Feng.
"Then once someone claims the title of king, wouldn't they face all kinds of challenges? The various monstrous geniuses probably wouldn't let it go easily, right?" Lin Feng said.
"Of course. Those who dare to claim the title of king are all terrifyingly powerful individuals who fear no challenge. Of course, there are also those with supreme talent who are posthumously granted the title of king by others, receiving unparalleled glory. Generally speaking, anyone who is enfeoffed as king, as long as they don't die, will become famous throughout Qingxiao Land."
Great Pest spoke with longing. At this moment, he had put away his playful and mischievous demeanor, his face full of yearning. Enfeoffment as king meant supreme glory.
"I see." Lin Feng understood the meaning of enfeoffment as king. It seemed that this ancient tribe had clashed with someone who had been enfeoffed as king. From what Tantai had implied, if he had the strength, he would even want to kill that person. The hatred must be deep.
"Alright, just drink it down directly." The old man finished brewing the medicine and brought the entire pot in front of Tantai. Tantai didn't stand on ceremony and directly gulped it down in one go. After drinking, he smacked his lips, opened his big mouth wide, and let out a hissing sound. The medicine was clearly not very pleasant to taste.
"Get lost and digest it with the Medicine Scripture," the old man said to Tantai in a low voice. Tantai nodded, then walked to the side, closed his eyes, and began to use the power of the Medicine Scripture to digest the medicinal effects. Although the old man's cultivation wasn't high and he hadn't yet reached the Martial Emperor Realm, he was extremely skilled at preparing medicine. Tantai didn't doubt his brewing skills at all.
Just then, Lin Feng felt a chill descend, causing his body to tremble slightly. He looked at Tantai in surprise. At this moment, a terrifying layer of frost and ice energy was spreading from Tantai's body, like the cold snow of ten thousand years, making people feel waves of chill.
"The medicinal effects, combined with Tantai's own power, are taking effect very quickly," Lin Feng thought to himself. The ancestor of the tribe who created the Medicine Scripture must have been a legendary figure. Even the concept that the human body is composed of countless particles was something ordinary people wouldn't dare to imagine.
"Senior, the ancestor of this tribe created the Medicine Scripture, which can unlock infinite potential. There should also be extraordinary techniques to complement it, which would surely make it even more powerful," Lin Feng said, looking at the old man with a sense of realization.
"Of course. The successive chieftains of the tribe have created many techniques and divine abilities that complement the Medicine Scripture. They even study the power of demonic beasts. Our tribe has discovered that the power of demonic beasts is the most suitable for cultivation using this method of unlocking potential. For example, Tantai Mingzhi. The technique he cultivates is the Lion King Technique, cultivating the power of the Lion King. It turns every particle in his body into a particle of Lion King power. When thousands of particles awaken, he possesses the power of thousands of Lion Kings, capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a roar. If one day he awakens billions of Lion King powers, a single roar would probably shake heaven and earth and tremble the universe."
The old man didn't hide anything from Lin Feng and spoke frankly. "There are also those who cultivate the power of dragons, giant elephants, or rocs. All of these were created by the successive chieftains of our tribe. The people of our tribe advocate breaking all laws with a single force."
"I see." Lin Feng nodded slightly. Cultivating techniques and divine abilities that complement the power of demonic beasts was indeed suitable for the people of this tribe. No wonder Tantai had a certain beastly aura about him. It turned out he was cultivating the Lion King technique.
"Great Pest has a Barbaric Dragon Constitution and is skilled in dragon power, which is also suitable for our tribe's medicinal principles. That's why I helped him out. Unfortunately, he's already older, and his bones, muscles, and blood have already formed. Using medicine to unlock potential won't have much effect. He'll have to rely on his own power," the old man said slowly.
Great Pest grinned and said, "It's already good enough. It helped me break through to the Martial Emperor Realm so quickly. Otherwise, it would have taken me some more time."
"By the way, Lin Feng, your cultivation hasn't reached the Martial Emperor Realm yet. Why don't you let Senior help you too?"
"Unlocking potential..." Lin Feng murmured, then smiled and shook his head. "No need. Medicine won't be of much use to me."
Lin Feng had endured multiple tribulations. Now, cultivating the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art, at each realm, he attracted the descent of Heavenly Demon Tribulation, which struck his body and unlocked his physical potential. This was actually quite similar to the tribe's medicinal principles. The power of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation descended, activating every cell in his body, and the tribulation force penetrated his internal organs.
"You, this guy..." Great Pest shook his head speechlessly. The old man looked at Lin Feng with a smile. This kid wasn't simple either. He had calmly refused such a good opportunity.
"Refreshing!" At this moment, Tantai opened his huge eyes and roared. He felt completely comfortable all over, as if his injuries had vanished without a trace.
Lin Feng watched as Tantai's body surged with vigorous energy, and the Lion King's aura pulsed endlessly. He couldn't help but marvel at Tantai's terrifying recovery ability. Perhaps it was also related to the Medicine Scripture he cultivated.
"Let's go. We'll go back to Holy City Central Continent. This time, I'm going to smash that bastard to death!" Tantai said boldly, making the old man roll his eyes. "You reckless brat, can't you calm down for a moment?"
"Old man, mind your own business. Don't you want me to get stronger?" Tantai glared at the old man. "Don't worry, I know my limits. I value this life of mine quite a bit."
"Lin Feng, let's go together. Holy City Central Continent is much more fun than this primitive tribe. Come on, let's go explore together," Tantai said to Lin Feng with a grin.
"Yeah, Lin Feng, let's go." Great Pest also looked expectant.
Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile. He had never seen such hospitality. They were urging him to leave before he had even settled in. But he didn't mind. He had traveled such a long way precisely to head to Holy City Central Continent. Now, he had two companions.
However, these two companions seemed to be troublemakers. Following them probably wouldn't be peaceful.
"Let's go." Lin Feng smiled.
"Refreshing!" Tantai patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. Then, Lin Feng took his leave from the old man, and the three figures flickered away together.
Outside, in the void, on the ancient sail, the three of them stood. Feeling the terrifying wind whipping against him, Tantai shouted, "Lin Feng, this thing is fast enough. It can save us a lot of time. It seems we can reach the border of Holy City Central Continent in half a day."
"This is the first time I've seen such a fast means of travel. Lin Feng, how did you get it?" Great Pest asked curiously. Lin Feng hadn't even reached the Martial Emperor Realm, yet he had such a treasure. It was strange. After all, having a treasure invited trouble. If your cultivation wasn't strong enough, some people with ill intentions would dare to kill you and take your treasure.
"I was heading from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital to Holy City Central Continent, and the journey was long. So, I sought help from a senior, and he gave me this ancient sail," Lin Feng explained simply.
"That makes sense. If you traveled at your Venerable Martial Realm speed from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital to Holy City Central Continent, who knows how long it would take," Tantai nodded. "By the way, Lin Feng, that beauty from the Snow Clan was really fair and delicate, and very proud. Want to snatch one for yourself?"
Lin Feng was speechless. No wonder Great Pest called him Tantai the Fool. This guy had just left the tribe and had already forgotten his conversation with the old man.
"Forget about Lin Feng. His wife is even more beautiful than that Snow Clan woman. If you want to do it yourself, go ahead," Great Pest glared at Tantai.
"Hehe, I was just saying. But that guy who injured me, I have to get revenge," Tantai said unhappily. When had he ever suffered such a loss? He had to get it back.
"Dream on," Great Pest said mercilessly. "Those people from the Snow Clan are no ordinary people. We'd better enter the academy first."
"That's true. Revenge can wait. Let's enter the academy first and see if there are any good ancient scriptures or classics we can study and cultivate from," Tantai nodded. "Lin Feng, your cultivation hasn't reached the Martial Emperor Realm yet. It might be difficult to enter the academy. The assessments at those academies are very strict. You have to fight your way in. Even Great Pest probably only has a fifty percent chance."
"Then why didn't you enter the academy last time? Did you fail the assessment?" Lin Feng asked.
"Bullshit! Last time, I just took one more look at that fair-skinned woman, and that arrogant bastard started fighting with me. I didn't even get a chance to take the assessment," Tantai cursed in frustration.
Lin Feng understood after hearing Tantai's words. No wonder this guy was so upset.
"You opened your mouth and asked her to be your woman. It would be strange if she didn't fight you," Great Pest added, making Lin Feng sweat. Tantai, on the other hand, grinned foolishly. "I hadn't seen such a fair-skinned woman before. Would marrying me really be such a bad deal?"
"Forget it," Lin Feng shook his head. "To enter the academy, what kind of assessment do I need to pass?"
"Fight. As long as you can fight your way in, you pass the assessment. Different age groups have different checkpoints, and the cultivation levels of the opponents you face are different," Tantai replied. Lin Feng nodded. The assessment was straightforward and violent enough. If you could fight your way in, you could enter the academy. If you couldn't, you went back. It didn't matter your status or background. Only strength spoke.
