Lin Feng's heart surged with excitement.
He knew all too well what a golden trait signified!
He had encountered tens of thousands of Registered Disciples before, yet fewer than three had possessed green traits...
Among Registered Disciples, green traits were already rare. Those with blue traits would likely be considered outstanding even among Outer Disciples!
As for red and purple above blue... who knew just how formidable they were? This golden trait was likely scarce even across the entire Limitless Sacred Land!
The man strode slowly toward the outer sect, his bearing proud and aloof. Many Outer Disciples passed by, all wearing respectful expressions as they addressed him several times as Senior Brother Xiao.
Lin Feng's heart jolted. Senior Brother Xiao? Was that Xiao Chen, the number one Outer Disciple? It was said that Xiao Chen had been merely a Registered Disciple a month ago, but then he had risen like a strange army, advancing fiercely. He had been admitted directly into the outer sect and, within just a few days, become the number one Outer Disciple, basking in immense glory!
No wonder he had advanced so quickly. So he possessed a golden trait like Heaven-Defying Comprehension!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Heaven-Defying Comprehension was excellent, but it would be his next.
With a thought from Lin Feng.
The golden trait [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] was directly infused into his body.
At that instant, heaven and earth became clear!
In Lin Feng's perception, his understanding of all things between heaven and earth increased countless times over.
His dantian, every cell in his body, even his pores, all seemed to accelerate his cultivation speed.
His long-settled realm also began to loosen.
Lin Feng had remained at Blood Tempering Third Layer for a long time, unable to break through.
But today, he had plundered so many traits.
And he even possessed a golden trait, [Heaven-Defying Comprehension]!
His realm... broke through to Blood Tempering Realm Fourth Layer within ten seconds!
One had to know that among a million Registered Disciples, every minor realm could suppress tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!
In a fantasy world, ranks were clearly divided, and those ranks referred to cultivation realms.
But Lin Feng knew this was far from enough.
"Cultivation arts! Martial arts!"
Lin Feng's eyes turned sharp. If he wanted to improve rapidly next, he naturally had to start from these two areas!
In the blink of an eye.
Lin Feng arrived at the Cultivation Arts Pavilion of the Limitless Sacred Land.
The elder guarding the entrance wore an indifferent expression and demanded that Lin Feng show his disciple identity token.
"A Registered Disciple?"
After examining the identity token, the gatekeeping elder said coldly, "Remember this: Registered Disciples may only go to the third underground level! The other floors are not places Registered Disciples should enter. If you trespass, you will die without a burial place!"
Lin Feng nodded.
This was the sorrow of Registered Disciples. They did not even count as official disciples of the Limitless Sacred Land, and faced immense restrictions even when it came to cultivation arts and martial arts!
After saying that, the gatekeeping elder let Lin Feng pass.
Upon reaching the third underground level, Lin Feng found it crowded and noisy. Yet as he walked among the crowd, he remained utterly unmoved by the outside world.
He came to a bookshelf and casually took out a martial arts manual.
"Second-rank martial art: Ten Shadow Fist! Peak second-rank! Once cultivated to the pinnacle, one's fists become afterimages that can reach ten in number, their power even comparable to many third-rank martial arts!"
If this had been in the past.
Lin Feng would have turned around and left.
Martial arts were divided into ranks one through nine. Blood-Shifting Realm cultivators practiced first-rank martial arts, and even reaching major accomplishment required at least a month. As for second-rank martial arts, three months was the bare minimum, and even then, one might not be able to comprehend them fully!
The higher the rank of a martial art, the greater the demand it placed on a cultivator's comprehension!
But Lin Feng now possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension!
He skimmed through it briefly, committing all the key points and cultivation steps of Ten Shadow Fist to memory.
Three seconds later, Lin Feng closed the book.
A barely perceptible smile flickered across his lips.
In merely three seconds, he had already mastered a second-rank martial art without the slightest difficulty! It was like a doctoral student watching an elementary school student solve problems...
The place was spacious, and Lin Feng casually threw a punch.
Boom!
A fierce wind suddenly rose, and ten fist shadows appeared in an unending stream, their power unmatched!
Delight appeared on Lin Feng's face. This fist technique had directly reached perfection?
It had only taken three seconds!
With this newly learned second-rank martial art, Lin Feng was confident that he could now rank among the top ten thousand Registered Disciples!
No, this was not even the limit!
Lin Feng continued searching through the bookshelves, wanting to find higher-ranked martial arts.
As Lin Feng searched for martial arts, many strange gazes fell upon him. Everyone present was a Registered Disciple. One person revealed a stunned expression and blurted out, "That kid just looked at Ten Shadow Fist and directly reached perfection? Th-this, his comprehension is too heaven-defying!"
"How is that possible! I bet he had practiced Ten Shadow Fist before! And for a long time too, which is why he achieved major accomplishment!" Clearly, someone did not believe such a heaven-defying person could exist.
However—
Lin Feng then continued flipping through numerous martial arts manuals. Without exception, they were all second-rank, and even third-rank martial arts. He only needed one glance, never more than three seconds, before demonstrating them on the spot.
Every single one had reached the realm of perfection!
Everyone around him was dumbfounded.
No one believed Lin Feng had practiced those martial arts beforehand anymore.
After all, who the hell could cultivate so many at once?!
The only explanation was that he learned and practiced them on the spot!
Yet that explanation was even harder for them to accept, even more impossible to believe!
Many Registered Disciples memorized Lin Feng's face. In the upcoming disciple assessment, this man was bound to shine brilliantly!
Lin Feng's expression remained calm. Ignoring the countless astonished and shocked looks around him, he turned and left.
The third underground level no longer held any meaning. Everything there was child's play; he needed to go to higher floors!
Lin Feng arrived outside the Cultivation Arts Pavilion. Looking at the impassive gatekeeping elder, he respectfully said, "Elder, this disciple wishes to go to higher floors to practice martial arts. May I ask whether Elder will permit it?"
The gatekeeping elder had been lost in thought, but upon hearing this, he immediately frowned.
"You are merely a Registered Disciple, yet you aim too high. You are only at Blood Tempering Third Layer, and you still want to go to higher floors?"
The gatekeeping elder's tone was grim, feeling that Lin Feng did not know his own limits.
After guarding the entrance for so long, this was the first time he had encountered a disciple as ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth as Lin Feng.
At this realm, even third-rank martial arts were difficult to fully grasp, let alone higher-ranked ones!
Lin Feng, however, respectfully said, "Elder, it is not that this disciple is aiming too high, but rather..."
"This disciple has already fully mastered all the third-rank martial arts on the third underground level!"
"Hm?"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeping elder erupted!
Terrifying, surging energy pressed down from beside him. Countless Registered Disciples nearby turned pale with fright and hurriedly retreated!
The gatekeeping elder's strength was unfathomable. Was someone actually courting death by angering him?
"A mere Registered Disciple dares to speak such wild words?"
How could third-rank martial arts be something Blood-Shifting Realm cultivators could fully comprehend whenever they wished?
Anyone capable of doing so possessed an extremely high attainment in martial arts!
Lin Feng did not argue. He knew that at this moment, the strongest rebuttal was not empty words!
He immediately began displaying every third-rank martial art he had learned.
Phenomena Fist, Eight Directions Art, White Jade Finger...
Every third-rank martial art on the third underground level was displayed by Lin Feng.
Without exception, all had reached the realm of perfection.
Done in one smooth, uninterrupted flow!
After finishing his display, Lin Feng did not utter a word, while the gatekeeping elder's massive body...
Had already shot up violently from the grandmaster chair!
