# Chapter 1752: Senior and Junior Brothers
"Lin Feng killed Ximu?" Yuwen Hou looked at the person before him, a sharp glint suddenly flashing through his eyes. Ximu, the fifth fierce general of the Star Gate, ranked eighteenth on the Hidden King List: Human List, was killed by Lin Feng?
"Yes. Lin Feng and Ximu signed a life-and-death contract, and Ximu was slain by Lin Feng on the Hidden King List battle platform." That person looked at Yuwen and nodded heavily. Lin Feng executing Ximu shocked him as well. A powerhouse ranked eighteenth on the Human List had been killed by a newcomer who had just entered the academy.
"Did you see his true strength?" Yuwen Hou asked. Lin Feng's cultivation appeared to be at the Sovereign Lord realm, not even having become an Emperor. He must have been practicing some concealment technique to hide his cultivation.
"No," that person shook his head.
"He killed Ximu, yet still didn't reveal his true combat strength?" Yuwen Hou questioned.
"Ximu excelled in close combat. However, during this battle, Ximu had already descended before Lin Feng, yet was instantly killed—even more pathetic than Shan Meng. His laws were neither disrupted nor stripped away; they remained condensed and formed, delivering a thunderous strike to Ximu."
Yuwen Hou's expression flickered, then he spoke: "I understand. Notify the people of Star Gate not to go after him for now. Star Gate can't afford to lose more face. Wait until Shangjun returns."
Shan Meng and Ximu had been humiliated and killed by Lin Feng one after another. If Star Gate sent even stronger people to deal with Lin Feng and won, that would be fine. But if they lost again, Star Gate would lose all face.
Moreover, dealing with a newcomer, he couldn't possibly send Star Gate's first fierce general, the number one on the Hidden King List: Human List, to handle it. Besides, that guy had a notoriously bad temper and might not even give him, the sect master, face.
In Yuwen Jing's residence, Yuwen Jing had also received news of Lin Feng killing Ximu. Looking at the young man reporting before her, Yuwen Jing's expression was displeased. She and Lin Feng had clashed during the assessment. After entering the academy, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him further, only wanting him to come and apologize. She was more focused on training herself, continuously growing stronger in the academy. Thus, as soon as she arrived, she had defeated the person ranked thirtieth on the Human List, causing quite a stir in War King Academy.
However, Lin Feng had not come to apologize. Instead, he had humiliated Shan Meng and killed Ximu. Those who had gone to make Lin Feng apologize—now Lin Feng had killed Ximu, effectively stepping into the eighteenth position on the Human List, twelve places ahead of her. As a new student of the same batch, she found it hard to accept being behind someone else, especially Lin Feng. So, Yuwen Jing walked out of her courtyard. It was time to continue charging up the Hidden King List: Human List.
In the following days, a wave of ranking changes swept through the Hidden King List: Human List of War King Academy. Stirring all this, besides Lin Feng's battle, was Yuwen Jing's consecutive challenges.
During these days, on the first day, Yuwen Jing challenged the person ranked twenty-fifth on the Hidden King List: Human List. On the second day, she challenged the person ranked twentieth. On the third day, she challenged the person ranked fifteenth.
Three battles, all victories. Yuwen Jing's ranking on the Human List advanced steadily, forcefully stepping into the fifteenth position. This made many people sigh. This Princess Yuwen was indeed terrifying. No wonder she had such extraordinary fame among the younger generation in Holy City Central Continent. This was definitely not just because of her status and beauty. In the martial world, only martial strength was recognized. If her talent were poor and her strength weak, even with a prominent status and more captivating beauty, she would likely remain unknown.
At the same time, every time Yuwen Jing's ranking advanced, some people's rankings had to shift, triggering a wave of challenges from those who had fallen behind.
As for Lin Feng, because Yuwen Jing had forcefully entered the fifteenth position on the Hidden King List: Human List, he dropped one place, now ranked nineteenth.
As for Lin Feng himself, he was currently in the tenth layer space of the War King Hall.
Lin Feng had already obtained the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art, so he no longer needed to study cultivation techniques. Instead, he immersed himself in various divine ability powers. Unlike cultivation techniques, the divine ability techniques in the War King Hall were not inscribed on jade slips. Instead, they were all printed on ancient texts, giving them an antique feel.
This struck Lin Feng as rather strange. Divine ability powers, if inscribed on jade slips and combined with the effects of the abilities, would be easier to comprehend. But the War King Hall seemed different. Perhaps it was to prevent people from using divine consciousness to copy all the divine abilities from the jade slips and take them out. As for these ancient texts, if you wanted to use divine consciousness to copy them page by page, it wouldn't be so easy. Of course, if someone was determined, they could still manage to take them out.
"The divine ability techniques in this War King Hall are indeed profound and extensive. Even outside the academy, even in the Four Great Ancient Saint Clans, one would absolutely never be able to see so many different techniques and divine abilities," Lin Feng sighed inwardly. These divine ability techniques included those suitable for various law powers, and even some extremely rare laws could find suitable divine ability attack powers with formidable might. Take this tenth layer's divine ability techniques, for example—they were extremely applicable to the entire Martial Emperor realm. Even a Low-rank Emperor would find it difficult to unleash their full power.
War King Academy, with its countless years of historical heritage, was too terrifying. Just this one War King Hall alone could be considered a supreme treasure. After all, there were still places above the tenth layer.
The academy's magnanimity also made Lin Feng sigh. As long as your strength was sufficient, they would completely open everything to you without any restrictions. No wonder people from all over Qing Xiao Continent, even prodigies from the ancient saint clans, were willing to come to the various academies to cultivate.
"Undying Battle Intent, Death's Arrival, Thunder Emperor's Slaughter, Earth's Chaos Heaven Fist—Disaster Four Absolute Kill. Only those who control these four powers can cultivate it. The four merge to achieve a domineering divine ability." Lin Feng was currently studying a divine ability technique that required the fusion of four powers to use: Undying, Death, Lightning, and Earth. Cultivating four attacks from four laws, finally merging them into one, achieving Disaster Four Absolute Kill, possessing formidable power.
"Just right for me." Lin Feng revealed a slight smile. He only lacked the Undying Intent to achieve law. As for Death, Lightning, and Earth, he had already cultivated them into laws. Lin Feng had deduced that simply fusing laws was difficult and lacked structure, and the power unleashed was not as strong as imagined. Therefore, Lin Feng thought that the fusion of laws might require divine ability techniques to match them, allowing the laws to completely integrate into the divine ability attacks. This way, even unintentionally, it would be a powerful fusion law divine ability.
In fact, Lin Feng had already experienced this kind of power. Ximu had very well integrated laws into his attacks, even making it impossible to purely sense the effect of the laws. This doubled the power. The more perfect the fusion, the stronger the attack unleashed. This was something that Cang Xiao and others had been unable to achieve before.
As for Yuwen Jing, she also did this very well. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter—four seasons, four law powers, four different divine ability attacks. Although not fused, they were still infinitely powerful.
Although Lin Feng didn't have much liking for Yuwen Jing, her strength was indeed quite formidable. Her battle against the person ranked thirtieth on the Hidden King List: Human List had been very easy. The advantage of multi-system law power was obvious. Compared to the multi-system essence advantage during the Sovereign Martial realm, the law advantage was strengthened. Because laws were the evolution of essences, their power was greater. Multiple systems, combined with different divine ability powers, unleashed even more terrifying might.
This was like when Lin Feng fought others—speed, defense, attack—all-round.
"In this War King Academy, geniuses gather. The gaps in bloodlines and cultivation techniques between people continuously narrow. The role of martial souls is also not as obvious as before. Now, battles more directly depend on the number of laws, the strength of laws, and the strength of law divine ability attacks. The strength of laws is related to cultivation level and cannot be controlled. As for the number of laws, I have an advantage over anyone. What I need to improve now is law divine ability attacks, completely integrating laws into powerful divine abilities. If I can fuse multiple laws into one divine ability power, that would be even stronger."
Lin Feng thought silently. The people in this academy had no weak bloodlines. Even if some were slightly inferior, they had undergone various refinements and transformations, just like Tantai. The cultivation techniques they practiced were definitely not weak, almost all at the Emperor Scripture level or even Ancient Saint Scripture level. The gap still revolved around laws. Martial Emperors were achieved through laws.
Of course, there was also one thing—physique, which was closely related to martial souls. Langxie manifested in the use of realm power; Dugu Bubai manifested in powerful attacks. As for his physique, the Forbidden Body, it did not directly manifest in combat power. But since he began cultivating, he had encountered no bottlenecks, except for that one hurdle in becoming an Emperor, which was different.
It was precisely because of his special physique that he was gifted with powerful comprehension. Thus, he had cultivated so broadly, learning too many methods, and had also taken some detours.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng began to calm his mind. He walked to a desk nearby and started studying the Disaster Four Absolute Kill. Closing his eyes, he sank into a dream.
The passage of time seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Three months later, a new round of academy assessments was conducted. War King Academy was no exception. In the Martial Emperor realm, more than ten people entered War King Academy. In the Low-rank Emperor level, there were four people, and two of them were actually senior and junior brothers.
Even more shocking was that, soon after these two senior and junior brothers entered War King Academy on the second day, they caused a slight tremor in War King Academy, once again stirring up a bloody storm on the Hidden King List: Human List.
One stepped into the twelfth position on the Hidden King List: Human List, the other the thirteenth. They both challenged the same person—the one who originally occupied the twelfth position. That person was from the Ji Gate's Star Gate.
This made the people of War King Academy wonder what was going on with the academy lately. The previous batch of newcomers was like this, and now these two senior and junior brothers were even more monstrous.
Even more unfortunate was the Ji Gate. The fifth fierce general of Star Gate had been killed by Lin Feng a few months ago, and now the fourth fierce general had been defeated by two people in succession. It was said the process was strikingly similar. This year, the Ji Gate responsible for the assessment had again made things difficult for newcomers, leading to such similar results!
