# Chapter 1837: First Disciple
"Who dares to be insolent?" The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince swept his gaze across the void but saw no figure, streaks of cold light flashing through his demonic pupils.
"Whoosh!" A voice came like the wind, footsteps descending from the sky dome above. Moments later, a figure appeared before the Tenth Prince.
Seeing this person appear, Ye Chen and Ye Xue's eyes suddenly burst forth with sharp brilliance!
"Uncle Lin Feng!" Ye Chen called out in his heart. At this moment, a smile spread across his face—a bright, radiant smile that still seemed somewhat innocent, as if he had returned to the childhood days of many years ago. Back then he was still young; perhaps he couldn't remember many things that happened, but the impression Uncle Lin Feng left on him was indelible, influencing this period of his life. Therefore, the moment Lin Feng appeared, he instantly recognized him—this was the Uncle Lin Feng of old, unchanged in the slightest.
"Lin Feng!" Ye Xue also saw Lin Feng. He had appeared at this critical moment, just like last time.
When Master Xu saw Lin Feng, a divine light suddenly burst forth from his sorrowful eyes. Seeing Lin Feng, it was as if he had glimpsed hope.
"Who might you be, sir?" The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince swept his gaze over Lin Feng. Peak of Sovereign Martial Realm—the same as himself.
"Didn't you just say that if I appeared before you, you'd make me pay with my life?" Lin Feng said calmly, causing a terrifying, demonic light to suddenly flash in the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's eyes. Lin Feng.
The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's body even trembled slightly. His gaze fixed firmly on the figure before him. The Lin Feng of old had too great a reputation. Now, appearing suddenly, his residual might still lingered.
"No, he's only at the peak of Sovereign Martial Realm, same as me. Why should I fear him!" A gleam of light suddenly released from the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's eyes. Then his demonic pupils turned icy cold as he rumbled, "Even if you truly are Lin Feng, I will still kill you."
With that, the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince stepped forward. Instantly, a terrifying sense of power pressed down upon Lin Feng. Within his palm, the power of law faintly permeated—the realm of an Invincible Sovereign Lord.
"Die!" A terrifying explosive fist slammed into Lin Feng's body. The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's eyes carried a hint of twisted laughter. But soon, that smile vanished, because he discovered that his fist seemed to have struck an immovable stone wall—nowhere to exert force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's fists trembled violently, continuously hammering Lin Feng. Suddenly, a sharp fist light shot straight toward Lin Feng's head. However, Lin Feng's eyes abruptly released a deathly cold gleam, causing the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince to scream miserably. His body explosively retreated, trembling uncontrollably. That single glance had seemingly plunged him into an abyss of death.
Lin Feng didn't even bother to look at the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince again. His gaze swept over the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress people who were threatening the townsfolk. He took a slight step forward and said indifferently, "I'll give you ten breaths to run."
"Whoosh!" A figure instantly shot through the air, roaring, "Go! We can't afford to provoke Lin Feng!"
In an instant, figures crazily broke through the air, no longer caring about the townspeople. They fled at lightning speed, as if afraid of having too few legs. In the past, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress had the Heavenly Dragon Emperor plus nine great princes, and Lin Feng had wiped them all out cleanly. This Tenth Prince was even more vulnerable—Lin Feng let him attack to no avail. They wouldn't wait around to die.
Lin Feng watched those fleeing figures. He could easily slaughter them, but he didn't strike. The small town should remain peaceful. If he massacred these people, Lin Feng couldn't guarantee that other remnants they knew wouldn't come seeking revenge on the town. He didn't care about that, of course, but he didn't want to disrupt the town's tranquility. Letting them escape, they had no reason to return.
The Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince struggled to rise, looking at Lin Feng, and asked, "What realm are you really in?"
"Die!" Lin Feng glanced over. The Eye of Death pierced through the other's pupils. In an instant, the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince's body fell from the void toward the ground below, causing every townsperson's heart to tremble with fear. Someone as powerful as the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince couldn't withstand even a single glance from Lin Feng—and he had boasted about killing Lin Feng?
To someone like the Heavenly Dragon Tenth Prince, in Lin Feng's eyes, he was nothing more than a clown jumping around. Whether or not he was the true Tenth Prince, Lin Feng had zero interest. As for his cultivation realm—was there any need to tell him?
"Uncle Lin Feng!" At this moment, Ye Chen called out from behind. Lin Feng turned around, smiling at the young man before him, and laughed, "The little one from before has grown up so much now."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Ye Chen scratched his head. The smile in his eyes was bright and simple. He laughed and said, "Uncle Lin Feng, I heard you left the Small World and went to the Great World. Is that true?"
"En." Lin Feng nodded.
"Then this time you've come back—will you leave again?" At this moment, Ye Chen was like a child. Before Lin Feng, he still felt like that little kid. This feeling had long since disappeared when he was with Master Xu.
"Of course." Lin Feng still smiled, causing Ye Chen to hesitate, as if wanting to say something but unable to speak. In the end, however, Ye Chen spoke out: "Uncle Lin Feng, I want to follow you to the Great World."
"Xiao Chen, the outside world is even more cruel than the Small World. There are countless powerful people, even more than I can count who are stronger than me. There are many dangers. Also, if you leave, can you bear to part with your family in the town?" Lin Feng stepped forward, rubbed Xiao Chen's head, and smiled.
"I'm not afraid of danger." Ye Chen's expression showed firm resolve. Then he looked down at the townspeople below, revealing an innocent smile, and said, "Master Xu, Grandpa Wang, Grandma Gao, and all you uncles and aunties—you all support Xiao Chen going out to make his way, right?"
"Xiao Chen, go. You are the strongest man our town has ever produced. How can you stay cooped up in this small town? Go out, live a magnificent life, and not waste this existence. Don't end up like your Master Xu, only able to teach children here." Master Xu's voice rumbled as he shouted loudly at Xiao Chen.
"Child, go out." The elders also spoke one after another. "See the outside world. Come back to visit us when you have time."
"En." Xiao Chen nodded heavily. Looking at those familiar faces, his eyes moistened slightly. He said, "When I become strong, I will definitely come back to see you all. I'll extend your lifespans and let everyone live long without dying."
Lin Feng watched calmly, sighing inwardly. In today's martial world, it was rare to find someone like Xiao Chen—already at the Sovereign Lord level, yet still possessing an innocent, childlike heart. Perhaps that was why his talent was quite remarkable.
"I'll take good care of Xiao Chen." Ye Xue said to the townspeople. By now, the three of them had come down to the ground, standing before those simple, honest faces.
"Little aunt, I should be the one taking care of you." Ye Chen laughed.
"Both of you, stop fussing." Master Xu's gaze fell on Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, Xiao Chen knows everything about you like the back of his hand. He's told your stories to everyone in town. We all know that in the entire Eight Wastelands now, there probably aren't many people more powerful than you. Since you're going to the Great World, we entrust these two children to your care."
With that, Master Xu knelt directly to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Feng's expression froze. Then, one by one, the townspeople all knelt before Lin Feng.
"Master Xu, how can Lin Feng accept such a great courtesy?" Lin Feng stepped forward to help Master Xu up, but Master Xu said, "Lin Feng, just for saving our town twice, you deserve this kneeling. Besides, this kneeling is also for the two children."
"I will do my best to take care of Xiao Chen." A surge of power lifted everyone's bodies. Lin Feng looked at the simple, honest faces of these town residents, feeling a burning sensation in his heart. He hadn't felt this in a long time. This power was the power of familial affection. Seeing the hot tears at the corners of Xiao Chen's eyes, Lin Feng spoke: "Xiao Chen, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Chen was stunned, seeming at a loss. But Master Xu's heart trembled, and then a wild joy burst forth from his eyes. He shouted at Ye Chen, "Xiao Chen, why haven't you performed the disciple's ceremony yet?"
Xiao Chen seemed to realize something as well. A clean smile appeared on his face. He knelt on both knees and said to Lin Feng, "Uncle Lin Feng... no, disciple greets Master."
"Little one, get up quickly." Lin Feng smiled as he helped Xiao Chen up, rubbing his head. If not for Xiao Chen's innocent, childlike heart, Lin Feng wouldn't have had this thought.
"From now on, you are my first disciple." Lin Feng smiled slightly. Xiao Chen just grinned foolishly, his eyes very clear and pure.
"Alright. Stay in the town for a while. When I return next time, I'll come to take you away." Lin Feng said to Ye Chen, letting him have one last gathering with his family in the town.
"Good." Ye Chen nodded. Then Lin Feng instructed, "Don't think about cultivation these days. Just spend time with everyone."
Having said this, Lin Feng turned around and stepped forward. In an instant, his figure vanished without a trace. Ye Chen watched the departing figure, his fists clenched tightly, a resolute look in his eyes. He silently swore in his heart: "Uncle Lin Feng, you will always be my Uncle Lin Feng. I will never let you down!"
