A First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator, killed in one sword strike!
Everyone stared blankly at the scene.
The Great Xuan Dynasty had already gained a measure of fame near the Limitless Sacred Land. In terms of strength, it still fell far short of those ancient imperial dynasties, but as an emerging power, the Great Xuan Dynasty had several Dao Condensation Realm patriarchs overseeing it. Its foundations could be called quite formidable!
How could princes raised by such a dynasty possibly be weak?
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Xuan Wenzheng's strongest strike had been quite formidable. Even ordinary Second Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivators would not have dared to receive it head-on.
Yet before the sword light Lin Feng had unleashed, his weapon shattered. No matter what martial arts he used, it was useless—he was sent flying like a sandbag!
The crowd had not even sensed any trace of Lin Feng making a move...
It was as if he had merely swung his sword lightly!
Like swatting at flies!
And then he had instantly killed a First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator!
Gasps 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 directly killed a First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator. Such strength was truly formidable.
Even the three geniuses 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 blandly, "He has some strength, but that Xuan Wenzheng was trash too. Before people like us, even if a hundred of that sort came, we would still kill them all in an instant!"
Wei Changfeng nodded. That was indeed true!
This was the confidence that belonged to geniuses!
Though they had come for the disciple examination, their ultimate goal was to become core disciples! Thus, within this vast outer sect, there was no one they thought highly of.
Below the arena, Xuan Wenzheng looked utterly wretched! He felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart. He barely managed to prop himself up, fear in his eyes as he looked deeply at Lin Feng.
How could someone at the Eighth Stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm erupt with such terrifying combat power?
It was simply horrifying!
Xuan Wenzheng's face was pale. He knew he had provoked someone he could not afford to provoke. With his injuries so severe, he no longer had the qualifications to challenge anyone else. In the end, he had only brought this upon himself. Had he not looked down on Lin Feng, he would still have had a chance to seize one of the top ten spots.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
High above, Elder Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lin Feng instantly killing Xuan Wenzheng had not exceeded his expectations.
After all, how could someone who had passed all ten trials be ordinary?
It was only that at the instant Lin Feng struck, Elder Zhu had sensed a trace of... faint, elusive Sword Intent, like a meteor flashing by in an instant!
Could this person have comprehended Sword Intent?
After that,
no one dared to challenge Lin Feng.
Being able to instantly kill a First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator in one move—other than the three geniuses, Chen Yunjing and the others, no one in the arena could do that.
Who would still have the courage to provoke him?
Meanwhile, more and more people gathered in the arena, including quite a few Outer Disciples.
Half an hour quickly passed, and Elder Zhu's voice resounded through heaven and earth.
"The time is up. The top ten have been decided. Next, you will compete internally to determine the rankings among the top ten."
The moment Elder Zhu finished speaking, spiritual light flashed in Xu Jun's hand. Sharp Sword Qi surged forth, revealing an extraordinary Spirit Sword!
"Elder, I don't think there is any need for so many tedious formalities. Just begin a free-for-all. Whoever remains standing in the end will be first!" His words overflowed with intense confidence.
Chen Yunjing snorted. "Going through them one by one is indeed a waste of time. After all, many among these top ten are far too weak and are not qualified to fight us."
Elder Zhu said calmly, "How can the Sacred Land's rules be changed because of you?"
The three said nothing more, but their auras rose step by step. They had long been prepared for a great battle.
Then Elder Zhu began drawing lots to form the matchups.
Very soon, Xu Jun and Wei Changfeng each had their own opponent.
Their opponents were both Registered Disciples at the First Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
Upon seeing their assigned opponents, obvious disdain flashed across Xu Jun and Wei Changfeng's faces.
Their opponents' expressions were equally unpleasant!
Their luck with the draw was terrible. They had not expected to run into these geniuses right away! They would likely be eliminated immediately!
But on the other side—Wei Changfeng's opponent made him freeze.
It was Lin Feng! The fellow who had just instantly killed a First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator and taken first place in the Spirit Formation trials, stealing all the limelight!
Very soon, the ten people faced one another, sharp as drawn blades.
And standing opposite Wei Changfeng was none other than Lin Feng.
"A genius with a Venerable Realm backer?"
Lin Feng's expression remained calm as he swept his gaze over Wei Changfeng. Second Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm. He seemed to possess a ninth-rank artifact, carrying a faintly dangerous aura.
He wondered whether Wei Changfeng could take one sword strike from him.
The watching crowd looked on with endless anticipation.
There was no doubt about Xu Jun and Chen Yunjing's opponents. They would certainly be instantly killed, without even having a chance to make a move.
But Wei Changfeng's opponent was Lin Feng. The latter had just stolen all the limelight, killing Xuan Wenzheng with one sword strike. He was no simple person, yet compared with someone like Wei Changfeng, who could truly be called a genius, he surely could not measure up.
Some people were instead wondering how many moves Lin Feng could endure against Wei Changfeng.
On the other side,
Chen Yunjing and Xu Jun had already begun fighting.
Both wielded swords. Their sword arts were fierce and invincible, capable of piercing anything. Their opponents were simply unable to withstand a single blow and were directly crushed!
Instant kills!
These were true geniuses. Whether in the martial arts they cultivated or the Spirit Swords they possessed, ordinary people could not compare with them.
"Come."
At that 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 truly put on lofty airs. He believed his status was noble, and that taking the initiative to strike at a Registered Disciple would disgrace him.
Yet once Lin Feng drew his sword, Wei Changfeng would no longer have a chance to act.
"Since that is the case, I will grant you your wish."
Lin Feng spoke calmly.
Then his long sword rang out in contention, its humming reverberating between heaven and earth. Lin Feng had no intention of wasting words with Wei Changfeng. He intended to instantly kill him.
Therefore, he was going to use the third move of the Yellow Springs Heaven-Severing Sword Art: Heaven-Severing Sword Shadow!
At the same time, the sword momentum of Three-Layer 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 around him is..." Wei Changfeng's pupils contracted!
At the same time, high above, Elder Zhu exchanged a glance with the elder from the Cultivation Arts Pavilion.
Elder Zhu slowly said, "It is Sword Intent! This brat has comprehended Sword Intent! Truly extraordinary—he is only a Registered Disciple..."
The instant his voice fell, Lin Feng had already struck fiercely from the arena. Terrifying sword shadows swept wildly through the field.
In that instant, there were at least more than three hundred sword shadows. Every one of them could easily slay a First Stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm spirit beast!
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 rank of martial art was he using? Such terrifying momentum—it was at least an eighth-rank martial art, perhaps even a ninth-rank one!
