Journey to Knight Sacred Mountain

Lin Feng glanced at Paimon in surprise.

As time passed, the little fellow had actually completed her growth on her own.

No wonder she had displayed such an uncanny movement technique just now.

"Lin Feng, I'll take you to your room first," Li Xin said.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you."

Seeing how polite Lin Feng was, Li Xin waved her hand. "No need to be so formal. We might be spending more than a year together from now on."

"There's no need to stand on ceremony."

Walking ahead, Li Xin turned back and smiled at Lin Feng. "If you weren't so much stronger than me, I'd definitely make you call me big sister, just like Hao Chen does."

Lin Feng was still somewhat unaccustomed to Li Xin's easy familiarity.

After all, at the Assassin Temple and Devil Expulsion Pass, most people were constantly tense. Unless they were especially close, there were few people as lively and optimistic as Li Xin.

Led by Li Xin, the three of them soon arrived at the dormitory building.

"What do you think of this room? It's close to Hao Chen's room too. You two can talk more whenever you have time and build up your relationship," Li Xin teased as she looked at them.

Lin Feng gave the facilities inside a quick look. All the necessary furniture was there.

"This one will do."

"Alright."

"Oh, right. Did you bring your daily necessities and such?"

"Yes, I have everything."

"Alright, get some proper rest today. Tomorrow, if I have time, I'll show you around Haoyue Branch Hall," Li Xin said.

After Li Xin and Long Haochen left, only Lin Feng and Paimon remained in the room.

However, after Lin Feng had laid out the bedding, Paimon was already sprawled on the bed, fast asleep.

That made sense. Since leaving the Assassin Temple, she had not returned to her magical beast Pet Space. She had flown alongside him all day, so she must have been exhausted.

Lin Feng looked at the Forget-Me-Not ring on his hand.

I wonder what Cai'er is doing right now...

Forget it. He should focus on cultivating. He could not let his spiritual power end up lower than Cai'er's at the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition.

When Lin Feng had left, Cai'er's spiritual power had already reached 1,400 points.

The gap between their spiritual power was not that great.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on Lin Feng's door.

Lin Feng also withdrew from the world of Musou Isshin.

He stepped forward and opened the door.

The One-Armed Old Man was already standing outside.

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised to see the One-Armed Old Man come personally to fetch him.

"Senior, if there's something you need, you could have informed me beforehand. There was no need for you to come in person."

The old man stroked his pale beard and smiled. "I forgot to tell you the time and place yesterday. Come, I'll take you to the teleportation array."

"A teleportation array?"

Seeing Lin Feng's surprise, the old man kept him in suspense. "Come. You'll understand when we get there."

Under the old man's guidance, Lin Feng arrived at a great hall.

The hall was rather simply decorated, as though the space had been temporarily cleared out.

A teleportation formation stood in the center of the hall, with several spirit-gathering formations arranged around it.

Several of the gemstones within looked extraordinarily valuable.

"Senior, where are we going next?"

Lin Feng was a little surprised. He had thought he would need to stay at Haoyue Branch Hall for some time.

"To Knight Sacred Mountain," the old man replied.

Hearing his answer, Lin Feng said in astonishment, "Senior, doesn't each person only get one chance to enter Knight Sacred Mountain?"

The old man smiled. "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Given your talent, this much investment is nothing."

Looking at the teleportation array that had been specially built for him, Lin Feng had to admit that the One-Armed Old Man had spared no expense.

He had never expected the old man to take him to cultivate at Knight Sacred Mountain.

The Light Element within Knight Sacred Mountain was several times denser than outside. If he cultivated there, he would certainly break through to the Fifth Stage before the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition.

Looking at the teleportation array before him, it had most likely been specially constructed to make his future travels more convenient.

"Thank you for your consideration, Senior," Lin Feng said gratefully.

"It was nothing. Come, I'll also see how well you've mastered your knight skills," the old man said with a smile.

However, just as the two passed through the teleportation array and prepared to leave—

Nalan Shu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Senior, wait..."

The two turned toward the source of the voice and saw Nalan Shu walking in.

Nalan Shu smiled. "Senior, you rarely leave seclusion. Could I trouble you to nurture two of my disciples as well?"

The One-Armed Old Man considered this, then looked at Nalan Shu. "You mean the two little ones, Long Haochen and Li Xin?"

"Yes, Senior." Nalan Shu spoke directly. "They are the two most promising Great Knights of our Haoyue Branch Hall. I hope you can bring them along."

The One-Armed Old Man pondered. "Those two are good prospects, especially Long Haochen. He's already a Fourth Stage Great Knight at such a young age, and his future achievements will surely be remarkable. It's just..."

Seeing the One-Armed Old Man hesitate, Lin Feng spoke up at the right moment. "Senior, why not bring them along? If it's just me alone, it would be rather boring inside. Besides, with Long Haochen's talent, his future achievements may not be any lower than mine."

The old man probably still did not know that Long Haochen's Innate Inner Spiritual Power was 97 points.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the One-Armed Old Man smiled. "You little fellow, don't tell me you think entering Knight Sacred Mountain is really that easy?"

"Fine. I'll make an exception today. Go bring both of them here."

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of those two little ones, Senior." Nalan Shu was overjoyed.

Not long afterward, Nalan Shu brought Long Haochen and Li Xin before Lin Feng.

On their way over, the two had learned from Nalan Shu that they would be studying under the One-Armed Old Man for more than a year. Both of them were somewhat surprised.

They were even more excited when they learned that they would be entering Knight Sacred Mountain to cultivate.

Sure enough, the moment Li Xin saw Lin Feng, she rushed straight at him and threw her arms around him.

"Lin Feng, thank you so much! If I can cultivate at Knight Sacred Mountain from now on, my spiritual power might break through 2,000 points before the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition." Li Xin excitedly expressed her joy.

Lin Feng patted the light armor on Li Xin's arm and said helplessly,

"Li Xin, could you not wear armor the next time you hug me...?"

Only then did Li Xin realize that she had gotten a little too excited.

"Sorry, I got carried away. I'd just finished my morning training and forgot to take it off," Li Xin said awkwardly as she released Lin Feng.

Seeing the three of them chatting and laughing, the old man could not help but smile. "Come, it's time for us to set off."

I went out to eat, got caught in a downpour, brought an umbrella but forgot my keys, and ended up sitting at the stairwell entrance, writing this chapter through tears. (Please vote with recommendation tickets.)
