The first round of the sect's grand competition required the presence of both inner and core disciples, as they could be challenged at any time.
Li Lin was no exception.
When Li Lin saw Lin Feng stepping onto the platform of life and death, his heart was pounding. This guy dared to challenge him, obviously reaching the realm of Spiritual Martial Arts.
But now, Li Lin relaxed because, besides him, Lin Feng also called out the name of Yu Hao.
Yu Hao's strength was much stronger than his, possessing a powerful sword martial soul. For Lin Feng to challenge him was undoubtedly seeking a dead end.
Stepping onto the platform of life and death, Li Lin felt a bit nervous, under the gaze of the crowd, he felt a bit hollow inside.
"Why did you let him come up?" Yu Hao glanced at Li Lin, his eyes somewhat disdainful, looking down on Li Lin.
"You, both of you, come at me." Lin Feng did not answer Yu Hao's question, saying calmly, causing Yu Hao's gaze to shrink slightly.
Arrogant, so arrogant.
In the thousand-year history of Yunhai Sect, no one has ever challenged two high-level disciples in the sect's grand competition.
Lin Feng, as an outer disciple, challenged two inner disciples, one of whom was a powerful sword martial soul owner, breaking the record of Yunhai Sect.
"An outer disciple, so arrogant. If he becomes powerful in the future, wouldn't he disregard the sect?"
Above the valley, Mo Ye said coldly, immediately eliciting agreement. Mo Ye was not only strong and high-ranking, but also backed by Mo Canglan, who wouldn't give him some face?
However, Nangong Ling just looked at Mo Ye faintly, expressionless, revealing nothing of what he was thinking.
As for the old man in the small house, he smiled and shook his head, "This guy, knows no modesty."
"Come at me together, who do you think you are, just a waste."
Yu Hao's face was extremely ugly. Who was he, a powerful sword martial soul owner, an inner disciple.
Lin Feng was a waste in his eyes, someone he could easily trample on. But it was this waste who called out his name on the platform of life and death, challenging his dignity.
And not only did Lin Feng want to challenge his dignity, but he also wanted to trample on it, actually challenging two people at once. What did he, Yu Hao, take him for?
"Yes, who do you think you are, daring to challenge us. Brother Yu Hao is a powerful sword martial soul owner, strong enough to defeat you with just one move. Let's see how arrogant you can be."
Li Lin flattered him loudly, hoping Yu Hao would deal with Lin Feng without him having to intervene, that would be best.
Yu Hao was quite pleased to hear Li Lin's flattery, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "Hehe, Li Lin, you're right. An outer disciple like him doesn't have the qualifications to make me take action. You help me deal with him."
"Of course, he's just an outer disciple, unworthy of challenging Brother Yu Hao. But to show Brother Yu Hao's authority, I think Brother Yu Hao should let this kind of scum know your power."
Hearing Yu Hao's words, Li Lin was shocked. He didn't have absolute confidence in dealing with Lin Feng.
"This shameless guy has brought shame to Yunhai Sect." Seeing Li Lin's performance, everyone was speechless, it was really embarrassing. This guy was still so self-righteous and pompous.
"Ridiculous." Lin Feng mocked, "Li Lin, when I was choosing martial arts at Xingchen Pavilion, you were intimidated by Shen Chen's reputation and laughed at by others. You were scared and took it out on me, calling me useless, threatening to cripple me. Now, I, this 'useless' person, challenge you. Why are you so cowardly?"
"And you, Yu Hao, a sword martial soul owner, a true genius. For no reason, you attacked me and said you could kill me at any time, just because I'm an outer disciple. Now, I'm standing in front of you. Where is your sword?"
Lin Feng said coldly, and everyone understood. These two inner disciples were so arrogant, bullying Lin Feng as an outer disciple. Now that Lin Feng had become stronger, he came for revenge.
Yu Hao's eyes narrowed, saying to Li Lin, "I'll give you three breaths. If you don't make a move, I'll disable you first."
Li Lin's heart trembled, secretly gritting his teeth, hating Yu Hao.
Yu Hao bullied Lin Feng before, but now Lin Feng had come back to challenge his dignity. This scene was similar to when he bullied Lin Feng.
"Alright, I'll disable him for you." Li Lin said, gritting his teeth, and rushed towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head secretly, such a weirdo, really didn't know how he could enter the inner sect.
"Get lost."
Lin Feng waved his hand casually, using the Eight Desolations Palm. Four palm prints directly broke the air and landed on Li Lin.
"Boom."
Li Lin was one of the weakest among the inner disciples, at the bottom in terms of strength. Just a casual strike sent him flying, falling off the platform of life and death.
Lin Feng didn't even bother to look at Li Lin more, saying to Yu Hao, "You want to kill me, why are you still standing there?"
"Just four palm prints, and you're so arrogant." Yu Hao recognized that Lin Feng was using the Eight Desolations Palm. In Yunhai Sect, many people practiced this martial art, and most could form four or five palm prints. What was really difficult was what came next.
Lin Feng, however, only had four palm prints, even if he didn't exert his full strength, he could use five palm prints, still not enough to contend with him.
"Although I said I would kill you, today is the sect's grand competition. Even on the platform of life and death, we cannot kill. Then I will disable your cultivation, break your hands and feet, and make you wish you were dead."
Yu Hao said cruelly, hating Lin Feng to the extreme.
With that, Yu Hao put his hand on his back, light shining, the sword as clear as autumn water, shining brightly, an invisible killing intent pervading the space.
This was not enough, behind Yu Hao, his martial soul was released, an extremely sharp virtual sword, pointing at the sky, as if to pierce the heavens and earth.
"A sword martial soul owner is indeed not weak, Lin Feng is in danger."
The people close to the platform of life and death felt this strong sword intent, feeling somewhat suppressed, making them very uncomfortable.
"Since you like swords so much, let me show you what a swordsman is."
Lin Feng said lightly, pulling out the sword bound behind him. Instantly, an invisible sword intent bloomed, heading towards the sword intent emanating from Yu Hao.
"What, he's also a sword cultivator, a sword martial soul owner?"
Feeling the sword intent emanating from Lin Feng, everyone was surprised. Even Yu Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, but when he saw that Lin Feng's sword martial soul had not appeared yet,he curled his lips with a faint smile.
"Without even a sword martial soul, how can you talk about cultivating the sword?"
Yu Hao took a step forward, and the space whistled, his sword intent becoming increasingly tyrannical. Even on his sword martial soul behind him, there were faint flashes of sharp sword intent.
The sword intent released by Yu Hao expanded tyrannically, pressing towards Lin Feng.
"Do you have to possess a sword martial soul to cultivate the sword? And, does being a sword martial soul owner guarantee that you can be called a swordsman?" Lin Feng questioned, his face incredibly calm. Stepping forward as well, he said, "You, don't understand the sword at all."
At this moment, the invisible sword intent seemed to be inexplicably drawn, all rushing towards Yu Hao, including the sword intent emanating from Yu Hao himself.
The aura that Lin Feng released at this moment had already surpassed the scope of sword intent.
"Power... this is sword power."
Among the crowd were those who were knowledgeable, especially the inner and core disciples, who felt the power of the sword directed by Lin Feng, all of them shocked.
This was sword power, so powerful, able to control and draw the sword intent for Lin Feng's use, countless sword intents being his aid, pressuring Yu Hao.
"My god, he's just an outer disciple, just entered the realm of Spiritual Martial Arts, and he's already mastering sword power. Such terrifying talent."
Some people knew how difficult it was to control power, especially for someone like Lin Feng, who effortlessly controlled the power of the sword, something that even those at the peak of the Spiritual Martial Arts realm might not be able to do. And Lin Feng, an outer disciple, actually comprehended sword power.
Of course, there were also outer disciples who didn't understand, asking what sword power was.
"So he's the one who rang the eight-sided bell. I see now, such comprehension at such a young age, much stronger than me back then. This person is truly the pillar of our Yunhai Sect, a genius who must be nurtured well."
Nangong Ling instantly understood why Beilao valued Lin Feng so much, even to the point of wanting to kill Mo Ye on the spot. This kid's talent was terrifying!
