"Was Lin Feng too strong? He actually defeated Situ Ley in one move," one shocked voice echoed.
Every student looked at Lin Feng with a gaze full of extreme astonishment.
Situ Ley's undefeated myth was shattered just like that by Lin Feng.
And Lin Feng only used one move.
This gave everyone a sense of disbelief.
"This is impossible," Situ Ley roared, unable to believe it was true.
"Bang." Lin Feng was straightforward, stepping forward and trampling Situ Ley under his foot.
"What sort of nobodies dare jump around in front of me? Scram far away in the future."
As his words fell, Lin Feng kicked Situ Ley flying.
All of his pride was instantly shattered to pieces.
Puh.
Situ Ley couldn't bear such humiliation and spat out three mouthfuls of blood, fainting on the spot.
The crowd parted, watching Lin Feng leave.
Jialan Academy was also a place where the strong were revered.
Respect for strength, it was like this in every corner of the world.
Time passed day after day, and Lin Feng practiced diligently every day.
When not cultivating, he would go to the Teaching Hall to listen to the lectures of the elders from the Changhe Branch.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had been in the Inner Academy for nearly half a year.
Lin Feng came once again to the Scripture Storage Pavilion.
This time, he came to return the scroll of the "Fiery Sun Sword Skill" to the Pavilion.
Disciples borrowing martial arts from the Scripture Storage Pavilion could keep them for up to half a year; after which, the secrets had to be returned.
"Come again, come again, I recognize you, I recognize you," a sharp voice came just as he entered the Pavilion, it was the strange bird raised by Elder Tianxuan.
"Where is the elder?" Lin Feng asked.
"Fatty, someone is looking for you, fatty, someone is looking for you..." the strange bird called out loudly.
"Damn bird, tonight I'll definitely kill you and stew you for dinner," Elder Tianxuan's voice sounded angrily from within the Pavilion.
"Ah, don't, it's scaring me to death," the strange bird screeched, covering its eyes with its wings.
Lin Feng clicked his tongue in wonder, this strange bird had truly become a spirit.
"So it's you, boy," Elder Tianxuan walked out, appearing very pleased to see Lin Feng.
"Senior, I've come to return the secret manual," Lin Feng took out the scroll recording the Fiery Sun Sword Skill and handed it to Elder Tianxuan.
Elder Tianxuan took the scroll and squinted at Lin Feng, saying, "You took this incomplete sword technique for half a year before returning it, how did your cultivation go?"
"The disciple has had some insights," Lin Feng said.
"Come out, let me test your swordsmanship to see if you've veered off course," Elder Tianxuan said.
"Thank you for your guidance, elder," Lin Feng and Elder Tianxuan moved to the front yard of the Scripture Storage Pavilion.
The strange bird followed, calling loudly, "A fight, great, let's watch the fun."
"Shut up, damn bird," Elder Tianxuan glared fiercely at the strange bird.
"I'll shut up, I'll shut up," the strange bird shouted, showing no intention of keeping silent; Elder Tianxuan casually tossed a shoe sole, hitting the bird's head.
"Ah, it stinks," the bird acted like it was about to faint from the stench.
Elder Tianxuan ignored the strange bird, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Boy, come at me with all your strength."
"Watch out, elder."
Lin Feng gave a warning and then gripped his treasure sword.
Swish.
Lin Feng unleashed his strongest sword strike.
Sun Rising.
Divine Sword unsheathed.
Lin Feng was enveloped by the Sun God Light.
Human Sword Unity, speed reaching the utmost limit, he thrust a sword toward Elder Tianxuan.
"What?" Elder Tianxuan was greatly surprised, with his vast experience, he immediately saw the terrifying aspect of the sword technique Lin Feng practiced.
This was what moved him.
The Fiery Sun Sword Skill was an incomplete sword technique, although it could be cultivated, due to its incompleteness, many who forcibly practiced it ended up unable to suppress the Sword Qi within, dying from an explosion of Sword Qi.
But now, Lin Feng not only completely executed the Fiery Sun Sword Skill, but this move contained a sharp, sky-piercing Sword Intent that made Elder Tianxuan feel it.
"What an amazing sword," Elder Tianxuan was quite astonished inwardly.
Lin Feng's sword strike approached for the kill.
At this moment, Elder Tianxuan moved.
He extended his right hand and flicked it lightly.
Clang.
Elder Tianxuan flicked on Lin Feng's longsword, directly causing Lin Feng to retreat repeatedly.
Lin Feng was shocked internally, Elder Tianxuan's strength was terrifying; with a mere flick of his finger, he sent Lin Feng flying, and clearly, Elder Tianxuan's attack seemed just a casual strike.
"Thank you, senior, for your mercy," Lin Feng sheathed his sword and saluted.
Elder Tianxuan said, "This sword of yours is quite impressive, that sword technique once again flourishing in your hands is something to celebrate, future cultivation must be diligent, do not slack off."
"The junior remembers your teachings, elder, and will not dare to slack in cultivation," Lin Feng said earnestly.
Heaven gave Lin Feng a chance to start anew, and Lin Feng understood the preciousness of this opportunity and dared not slack even a bit.
Cultivation was like rowing upstream; not advancing meant retreating.
"Good, you may leave," Elder Tianxuan nodded.
"Junior takes his leave."
For the next half month, Lin Feng intensely practiced the Fiery Sun Sword Skill, striving to cultivate this sword technique to the level of Divine Transformation.
That afternoon, suddenly, the sound of bells echoed throughout Jialan Academy.
Dong...
The bells rang continuously, reverberating in the skies above Jialan Academy.
"The sound of nine bells indicates something major has happened," the entire Jialan Academy was thrown into shock.
"What exactly happened?" Lin Feng was also very puzzled.
"I'll go find out," Zhang Qichu went out to inquire and returned an hour later with astounding news.
Within True Martial Country, demons were causing chaos, burning, killing, and looting ruthlessly.
Now the royal family of the True Martial Country called upon all major cities, mercenary groups, and the ten great academies within the True Martial Country to join forces to exterminate the demons wreaking havoc.
"Since the founding of the True Martial Country, no demons have ever appeared within its borders. Now, with demons causing chaos, something major must be happening," Zhang Qichu said with some concern.
Demons were divided into the Demon Clan and the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan was cunning, while the Demon Clan was brutal.
In the past, a war once swept across the Heavenly Martial Continent, known as the Middle Ages Chaos, where the demon alliance devastated the continent, leaving devastation everywhere.
But after the chaos of the Middle Ages was quelled, the demon forces retreated extensively, and rarely emerged to cause trouble. Even if demon forces appeared occasionally, they were quickly subdued.
The True Martial Country had been established for three thousand years, never once seeing the emergence of demons. Now that demons disturbed the True Martial Country, many places were reportedly in grim condition.
Some cities were even occupied by demons, with countless casualties among the cultivators within True Martial Country, as well as ordinary civilians.
