A cultivator at the first level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm was killed in a single sword strike!

Everyone stared blankly at the scene.

The Great Xuan Dynasty had already gained some renown near the Limitless Sacred Land. In terms of strength, it still fell far short of those ancient imperial dynasties, but as an emerging force, it had several Dao Condensation Realm ancestors overseeing it. Its foundation could be considered quite solid!

How could the princes raised by such a dynasty be weak?

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Xuan Wenzheng's strongest strike had been remarkably formidable. Ordinary cultivators at the second level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm would not dare receive it head-on.

Yet before the sword light Lin Feng had cleaved out, his weapon shattered, and no matter what martial arts he used, it was useless. He was sent flying like a sandbag!

No one had even sensed any trace of Lin Feng making a move...

It was as if he had merely waved his hand lightly!

As though swatting away a fly!

Then he instantly killed a cultivator at the first level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!

Sharp intakes of breath rose and fell throughout the arena. Ninety-nine percent of the voices that had questioned Lin Feng vanished!

At this moment, who would still question Lin Feng's strength?

No one!

At the eighth stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm, he had instantly killed someone at the first level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Such strength was truly formidable.

Even the three prodigies in the distance, including Chen Yunjing, showed surprise in their eyes.

"Interesting. An instant kill?" Chen Yunjing glanced at Lin Feng twice.

Xu Jun said indifferently, "He has some strength, but that Xuan Wenzheng was trash too. Even if a hundred of such goods came before us, we'd still kill them all in an instant!"

Wei Changfeng nodded. That was indeed true!

This was the confidence belonging to prodigies!

Though they had come to take the disciple assessment, their ultimate goal was to become core disciples! Thus, among the vast outer sect, there was no one they thought highly of.

Below the arena, Xuan Wenzheng looked utterly bedraggled! He felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart. Barely managing to prop himself up, he gazed at Lin Feng twice with terror in his eyes.

How could someone at the eighth stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm erupt with such terrifying combat power?

It was simply appalling!

Xuan Wenzheng's face was pale. He knew he had provoked someone he could not afford to provoke. Now that his injuries were too severe, he no longer had the qualifications to challenge anyone else. In the end, he had brought this upon himself. If he had not looked down on Lin Feng, he would still have had the qualifications to secure one of the top ten spots.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

In the sky above, Elder Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lin Feng instantly killing Xuan Wenzheng had not exceeded his expectations.

After all, how could someone who had passed all ten trials possess ordinary strength?

It was only that at the instant he had attacked, Elder Zhu had sensed a trace of... faint, elusive Sword Intent, like a meteor flashing past and vanishing!

Could this person have comprehended Sword Intent?

After that,

No one dared challenge Lin Feng.

Simply being able to kill a first-level Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator in one move meant that, aside from the three prodigies including Chen Yunjing, no one in the arena could accomplish it.

Who would still have the nerve to provoke him?

And more and more people gathered within the venue, including quite a few outer sect disciples.

Half an hour quickly passed, and Elder Zhu's voice rang through heaven and earth.

"The time has come. The top ten have been decided. Next, you will determine the internal rankings among the top ten."

As soon as Elder Zhu finished speaking, spiritual light flashed in Xu Jun's hand, and fierce Sword Qi surged forth. It was an extraordinary spirit sword!

"Elder, I don't think we need so many tedious formalities. Just begin a melee. Whoever remains standing to the end will be first!" His words brimmed with intense confidence.

Chen Yunjing snorted. "Going one by one truly wastes time. After all, among these top ten, many are far too weak. They are not qualified to fight us."

Elder Zhu said blandly, "How can the Sacred Land's rules be changed because of you?"

The three said nothing more, but their auras rose steadily. They had long been prepared for a fierce battle.

Next, Elder Zhu began drawing lots and assigning groups.

Very soon, Xu Jun and Wei Changfeng both received their opponents.

Their opponents were both registered disciples at the first level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

Upon seeing the opponents assigned to them, obvious disdain flashed across both Xu Jun and Wei Changfeng's faces.

Their opponents looked equally unhappy!

Their luck with the draw was terrible. They had not expected to run into these prodigies right away! They would probably be eliminated immediately!

On the other side—Wei Changfeng's opponent made him freeze.

Because it was Lin Feng! The fellow who had just instantly killed a first-level Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator and taken first place in the Spirit Formation trial, stealing all the limelight!

Soon, the ten of them stood at daggers drawn.

And standing opposite Wei Changfeng was none other than Lin Feng.

"A prodigy with a Venerable's backing?"

Lin Feng's expression remained calm as he swept his gaze over Wei Changfeng. He was at the second level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm and seemed to possess a ninth-grade magic treasure, carrying a faintly dangerous aura.

He wondered whether Wei Changfeng could take one of his sword strikes.

The surrounding spectators watched this scene with boundless anticipation.

There was no suspense regarding Xu Jun's and Chen Yunjing's opponents. They would certainly be killed in an instant, perhaps without even getting a chance to strike.

But Wei Changfeng's opponent was Lin Feng. The latter had just stolen all the limelight by killing Xuan Wenzheng with one sword strike. He was no simple person, yet compared with a true prodigy like Wei Changfeng, he surely could not measure up.

Some people were instead wondering how many moves Lin Feng could endure in Wei Changfeng's hands.

On the other side.

Chen Yunjing and Xu Jun had already made their moves.

Both used swords. Their sword arts were fierce and irresistible, and their opponents were simply unable to withstand a single blow, directly crushed!

Instant kills!

These were true prodigies. Whether it was the martial arts they had learned or the spirit swords they possessed, ordinary people could not compare.

"Come."

At this moment, on Lin Feng's arena, Wei Changfeng spoke calmly. "I'll give you one chance to go all out."

Lin Feng sneered.

Wei Changfeng certainly put on airs. He believed his status was noble, and that taking the initiative against a registered disciple would disgrace him.

Yet once Lin Feng drew his sword, he would have no chance to make a move.

"Since that is the case, I'll grant you your wish."

Lin Feng spoke calmly.

Then the long sword rang out, its humming echoing between heaven and earth. Lin Feng had no intention of wasting words with Wei Changfeng. He intended to kill him instantly.

Therefore, he would use the third move of the Yellow Springs Heaven-Severing Sword Art, the Heaven-Severing Sword Shadow!

At the same time, the sword momentum imbued with three layers of Sword Intent slowly rose.

In merely the blink of an eye, Wei Changfeng's expression changed slightly, because he sensed that something was wrong with Lin Feng's aura!

"Wait, that feeling coming from him is..." Wei Changfeng's pupils constricted!

At the same time, Elder Zhu and the elder from the Cultivation Arts Pavilion exchanged a glance in the sky above.

Elder Zhu slowly said, "It is Sword Intent! This boy has comprehended Sword Intent! Truly extraordinary—he is only a registered disciple..."

The moment his voice fell, Lin Feng on the arena had already attacked fiercely, terrifying sword shadows raging through the venue.

In that instant, there were at least more than three hundred sword shadows, each capable of easily slaying a spirit beast at the first level of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!

Wei Changfeng let out a long howl, Origin Power surging wildly throughout his body as his expression changed drastically! This fellow had comprehended Sword Intent! And what grade of martial art was he using? Such a terrifying aura—it was at least an eighth-grade martial art, perhaps even a ninth-grade one!
