Chapter 2410: Wolf Smoke and Shi Xuan
The battles of the Heavenly Martial Saint Ceremony were intense, even brutal to describe. When the final outcome emerged, Ji Liao had seized the seventh seat, his strength considered quite formidable.
Lin Feng watched the battles of these young men from the perspective of an outsider, as if seeing a reflection of his former self.
"Lin Feng, how do you find it?" Mu Chen asked Lin Feng with a smile.
"They are all full of vitality. The people from the Heavenly Martial Imperial Dynasty and the Jianan Imperial Dynasty aren't necessarily more talented; rather, their techniques are more numerous and powerful. In terms of law comprehension, Ji Liao is actually passable," Lin Feng replied calmly.
"Brother Lin Feng, are your laws powerful?" Ling'er looked up at Lin Feng, causing his eyes to flicker as he smiled and said, "So-so."
"Is that so? Then Brother Lin Feng, you'll have to teach me when you get the chance. You're Father's disciple, so that makes you my senior brother," Ling'er blinked, sneaking a glance at Mu Chen.
"You little rascal. Your Brother Lin Feng is now far more formidable than your father. If he's willing to teach you, it will certainly be better than what I can do. As for laws, your Brother Lin Feng had already achieved profound mastery of the Dao at the Martial Emperor Realm, let alone laws," Mu Chen laughed heartily.
"Alright, Ling'er will learn whatever she wants, and I will definitely teach her," Lin Feng said with a smile. She was Mu Chen's daughter, just like his own. Although she addressed him as Brother Lin Feng, to Lin Feng, Ling'er was like a junior, and he would naturally do his best to take care of her.
"It's a deal then," Ling'er said cheerfully.
"Naturally."
"Lin Feng, the second round of battles is about to begin. However, in this round, the participants from our Heavenly Terrace are of average strength. It will be difficult for them to even break through. I told him that if he cannot hold on, he should concede," Yu Huang spoke up at this moment. At the same time, Ji Liao arrived here, his gaze falling on Lin Feng as he said, "Senior, thank you."
Earlier, Lin Feng had told him to fight with all his might, and he had done exactly that. But he had inadvertently received a fatal blow, only for a defensive force to suddenly appear on his body, blocking the strike and saving his life.
"No need. Train hard; your potential is good," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior," Ji Liao could naturally sense Lin Feng's formidable strength.
"Go on, Ji Liao. Later, you can carefully observe your senior brother's battle," Yu Huang said to Ji Liao, then turned his gaze downward. There, another young man was preparing to fight. This young man was at the High-rank Emperor Realm, and his battle would be in the next round. At this High-rank Emperor level, it should be similar to the Imperial List Dao Questioning Battlefield from Lin Feng's past, competing for rankings on the Imperial List.
"His aura is stable, and his realm is good," Lin Feng said, glancing at the young man.
"Lin Feng, this man is a disciple taken in by Ruoxie before he left. His name is Wolf Smoke. He has already comprehended the power of the Dao, specifically the Dao of Speed and Slowness, and has achieved minor success. His strength is quite formidable. Moreover, he has also comprehended the Dao of Gravity. In this round, he has a chance to contend for a spot in the top five," Yu Huang explained to Lin Feng.
"Two Daos, and both at minor success. Truly commendable. He is a promising talent," Lin Feng nodded.
"However, there is no hope for first place. Originally, Wolf Smoke was the second disciple of this generation, but the most talented senior disciple defected to the Heavenly Martial Imperial Dynasty. Back then, Hou Qinglin and the others had all taught him, but he turned out to be a scoundrel. Now, it is said that he has directly become a disciple of a Saint, enjoying a moment of glory," Yu Huang said coldly, looking into the distance.
"Oh?" Lin Feng's expression tightened. Wolf Smoke had already mastered dual Daos, and both were at minor success, yet he was still inferior to that person. Clearly, the defector's talent was indeed formidable. Moreover, the various senior brothers had personally taught him. For someone like that to betray them...
"His name is Shi Xuan. The Dao he controls is also dual, and it is a very powerful dual Dao: the Dao of Light and Darkness. It can completely counter the Dao of Speed and Slowness, with terrifying power. Back then, Hou Qinglin and the others felt they were not suitable to be his teacher. Only Sword Blind was somewhat suitable, but Sword Blind focused on his own personal cultivation and only guided him a little without formally accepting him as a disciple. Thus, Shi Xuan was showered with all kinds of favor."
As Yu Huang spoke, Lin Feng had already located the young man. In the Heavenly Martial Imperial Dynasty camp, one person stood out conspicuously. Beside him were even several Emperor-level figures, like stars surrounding the moon. However, his eyes held no pride or arrogance, only sharpness—a very powerful sharpness. This man was extremely ambitious.
"No wonder Master is angry. If it were anyone else, it might be bearable, but this man once enjoyed the favor of all the senior brothers. Later, when the senior brothers went out to explore and train on their own, he betrayed them and joined the Heavenly Martial Imperial Dynasty," Lin Feng thought to himself, a cold light flashing deep in his eyes. Calling him an ungrateful wolf would not be an exaggeration.
However, an ambitious man would naturally want to use the Heavenly Martial Imperial Dynasty to climb higher.
"This Shi Xuan is very good at disguising himself. He used to seem honest and obedient, but now he has bared his fangs without any concealment," Yu Huang said calmly. Just then, Shi Xuan's gaze swept over, looking at Yu Huang with a calm expression, then shifting to Lin Feng. In his pupils, there seemed to be a beam of light, extremely sharp.
"Hmph!" Lin Feng let out a cold snort. Instantly, Shi Xuan's eyes stung with pain. In that moment, he felt as if he had been devoured by a wild beast. He let out a muffled groan and closed his eyes.
"Whoosh!" When Shi Xuan opened his eyes again, his heart stirred slightly. He dared not look at Lin Feng again, thinking to himself, "This man is incredibly strong, far more powerful than Yu Huang. He probably has the strength of Hou Qinglin in the past. I wonder who he is. However, he only gave me a warning without actually harming me. Clearly, he is a proud man who doesn't want to bother with a junior like me. The people of Heavenly Terrace are all so arrogant."
"Wolf Smoke," Lin Feng called out at this moment. Wolf Smoke looked up toward the top.
"Come here," Lin Feng said again. Wolf Smoke glanced at Yu Huang and Mu Chen. Seeing them nod, he flashed over to Lin Feng's side.
"Senior, you are?" Wolf Smoke asked politely, seeing Lin Feng sitting between the two masters of Heavenly Terrace, clearly of extraordinary status.
"Show me your Dao. Attack me," Lin Feng said without answering, pulling Ling'er to the side.
Wolf Smoke's eyes flickered, then he nodded slightly. Suddenly, he shot a finger toward Lin Feng, the attack seeming to accelerate.
"Slow," Lin Feng said, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. In an instant, Wolf Smoke felt his speed become as slow as a snail's, unable to move. His finger was still far from Lin Feng.
"So strong!" Wolf Smoke's heart trembled. Then he saw Lin Feng's finger shoot toward him. That finger seemed to pierce through the sky, rushing into his mind, impossible to erase.
"Thud, thud..." Wolf Smoke stumbled backward, nearly falling, his forehead covered in cold sweat. When he looked at Lin Feng again, the man was still sitting there, completely unmoved.
"Speed and Slowness... so powerful. Infinitely stronger than mine," Wolf Smoke thought in shock. That finger—he couldn't tell if it was real or illusory.
"Senior, please guide me, Wolf Smoke," Wolf Smoke bowed to Lin Feng, knowing that the man before him was an extraordinary figure.
"Comprehend it carefully," Lin Feng said calmly. Instantly, Wolf Smoke felt a wave of dizziness, as if he were about to fall asleep and enter a dream.
Suddenly, a willow branch shot toward him. The branch seemed slow, yet it was extremely fast. His body kept retreating, but it was useless. The willow branch directly pierced through his head.
"Whoosh..." Wolf Smoke's breathing became rapid. Just now, he felt as if he were about to die.
"I'm still alive," Wolf Smoke's mind trembled. "Where is this?"
The willow branch shot toward him again, but this time, it was fast within slowness. That artistic conception was too powerful.
Wolf Smoke comprehended for a long time, as if he were in a dream. A single dream, lasting a long time.
When Wolf Smoke emerged, the second round of battles among High-rank Emperors had already ended. Wolf Smoke looked at Lin Feng and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Senior, for the guidance."
"This is your uncle," Yu Huang said to Wolf Smoke.
"Uncle?" Wolf Smoke's expression tightened. Among the personal disciples of Heavenly Terrace, he wondered which one this was.
"With such strength, could it be..." Wolf Smoke stared at Lin Feng and bowed again. "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
"Haha, you clever boy," Yu Huang laughed.
"With this level of strength, I can't think of any other uncle," Wolf Smoke said with a smile.
"Alright, go up and fight," Lin Feng waved his hand again, and a beam of light fell on Wolf Smoke. "Fight with all your might. If you can defeat Shi Xuan, your uncle will have a reward for you."
"Wolf Smoke will fight to the death."
"Good. If you have the chance to kill him, don't hesitate," Lin Feng said to Wolf Smoke, causing his expression to stiffen. Even Mu Chen and Yu Huang looked at Lin Feng. "Impossible, Lin Feng. Shi Xuan's status is extraordinary."
"It doesn't matter. If you can kill him, do it," Lin Feng replied calmly, as if it were nothing. The people around him shuddered violently. Wolf Smoke's heart was even more shaken. Uncle Lin Feng was indeed as legendary as they said—arrogant and domineering. His strength was probably terrifyingly powerful.
