News of Lin Feng challenging Xiao Yifeng quickly spread throughout the entire inner sect.

At once, nearly half the inner sect disciples began discussing the matter heatedly.

There was no other reason—it was because the two protagonists of this battle both possessed immense fame and prestige!

Xiao Yifeng was an established prodigy who had become famous a year ago. His movement technique and concealment arts were exceptionally formidable, and anyone who fought him had suffered greatly.

Then there was Xiao Yifeng's killing move: the Shadow Spider!

Once this little thing launched an attack, the victim would suffer injuries and need to recuperate at best; at worst, their cultivation realm would directly fall!

Someone had once overestimated himself and challenged Xiao Yifeng, only to be possessed by the Shadow Spider and have his realm forcibly drop by three layers!

Three layers! Who knew how long it would take to cultivate them back?

"Lin Feng has been making quite a splash lately. I heard he killed a demonic sect disciple at the Sixth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm while only in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!"

"Not only that, but it seems Elder Song also favored him and gave him a ninth-tier spirit herb. What incredible luck!"

"His reputation may be impressive, but challenging Xiao Yifeng? Isn't that simply being tired of living? He's courting death!"

"Who doesn't know how formidable Xiao Yifeng is? With his Seventh Layer Palace of Destiny Realm cultivation, all those unusual traits, and that Shadow Spider, even someone at the Ninth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm might not come to a good end if they provoked him!"

"Lin Feng has only been in the inner sect for a short time, yet he wants to challenge him? He's simply seeking death!"

Although Lin Feng's reputation had been extraordinarily resounding lately,

Xiao Yifeng's reputation was clearly even greater. After all, they had risen to fame at different times, and Xiao Yifeng had been famous for much longer!

Many had witnessed his ferocious might and feared him deeply!

Meanwhile, in a corner of the inner sect, three prodigies sat facing one another, listening to the many inner sect disciples discussing Lin Feng and Xiao Yifeng.

If Lin Feng had been there, he would certainly have recognized the three—they were Xu Jun and the other two from the previous registered disciple examination.

After hearing this, Xu Jun and the others were all stunned.

Chen Yunjing stammered, "I-I, what did I just hear? Who wants to challenge Xiao Yifeng?"

Even the three of them had heard of Xiao Yifeng's fierce reputation. This man was exceedingly formidable, and many did not dare provoke him. After all, he carried poisonous creatures on him; if one got tangled up with them, they would be in for terrible luck.

"Lin Feng. It's that guy Lin Feng." Wei Changfeng's body shuddered.

Lin Feng—how could they possibly be unfamiliar with him? Not long ago, during the disciple examination, the three of them had fought him.

How much time had even passed?

Yet they were still struggling in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, with no idea whether they would reach the Palace of Destiny Realm in the year of the monkey or the month of the horse.

And Lin Feng? He was actually going to challenge Xiao Yifeng!

Xu Jun drew a deep breath. "Xiao Yifeng's fierce reputation is no joke. Lin Feng actually wants to challenge such a terrifying fellow? When did his strength become this outrageous? That's the Seventh Layer Palace of Destiny Realm!!"

The other two were likewise speechless with shock.

Challenging someone at the Seventh Layer Palace of Destiny Realm was something they did not even dare imagine. It was practically a suicidal act—perhaps a single glance from the other party would turn them into dry bones.

While Lin Feng's challenge left the three utterly baffled, it also stirred intense interest in them, and they immediately headed for the Martial Dao Arena.

To challenge the Prodigy Ranking, one had to fight at the Martial Dao Arena, an arena specially constructed by the Limitless Sacred Land.

Once inside, even if Venerable Realm experts fought a great battle within, it would not affect the surroundings.

No one wanted to miss a battle between Prodigy Ranking disciples. After all, they could learn much from it.

At that moment, the area around the Martial Dao Arena was already packed to the brim.

There were ninety-nine Martial Dao Arenas in total, yet everyone's gaze was fixed upon the first arena.

Because Lin Feng was there!

Lin Feng had arrived long ago, when Song Yiling went to deliver the challenge. His expression remained calm; no matter how the surrounding crowd grew or how the discussions intensified, he was not affected in the slightest.

He needed a thrilling, unrestrained battle to vent the abundant heaven and earth essence within his body.

At the same time, he wanted to see just what kind of strength the so-called ninetieth-ranked Prodigy Ranking disciple possessed.

The countless discussions around him all entered Lin Feng's ears.

Most of them were embellishing and exaggerating the terror of this prodigy named Xiao Yifeng.

They spoke of his vicious methods, his cruel attacks, and so on.

The more Lin Feng listened, the more he looked forward to it. If the other party was truly so strong, could he withstand a single strike of Lin Feng's sword?

Amid the crowd, Lin Feng spotted some familiar faces—Xu Jun and the other two. Yet his face remained expressionless, and he could not even be bothered to look at them.

Not long ago, those three had been supremely arrogant, acting as though they did not even regard him as worthy of notice. Now, they had to come watch him fight—to look up at him!

Just then, an uproar rose from the crowd.

"Xiao Yifeng! He's here!"

"Hiss, what's going on? It feels like Xiao Yifeng has grown even stronger. How terrifying!"

"Xiao Yifeng's battle intent is terrifying. He seems a little angry!"

"That's normal. Everyone on the Prodigy Ranking is a prodigy. Being challenged means others think you're a soft persimmon! Which prodigy wouldn't get angry?"

"I hope Lin Feng can withstand a few more of Xiao Yifeng's moves, so we can get a good look at Xiao Yifeng's strength!"

Quite a few people whispered among themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yifeng was already standing atop the Martial Dao Arena. He and Lin Feng locked eyes, and the aura between them was utterly terrifying.

Yet just then, another cry of surprise rang out.

"Mu Lingxue is here! Ninety-fifth on the Prodigy Ranking!"

"Ling Yuchen! Ninety-first on the Prodigy Ranking!"

"Two Prodigy Ranking prodigies! There are only a hundred people on the Prodigy Ranking in total, each one a reserve candidate for the future Venerable Realm. Yet three of them have appeared today all at once!"

Many were utterly shocked.

A young woman in a pale blue dress walked out from the crowd. Her eyes were lively, and a smile played upon her face. The hearts of many disciples pounded at the sight of her. What a youthful and radiant woman—just becoming acquainted with her would be an honor for a lifetime.

The other man wore a moon-white robe, his ink-black hair tied back. He looked like a refined young gentleman. There were no shortage of female disciples in the inner sect, and when they saw him, their cheeks flushed faintly as they thought how wonderful it would be if they could become his Dao companion.

One was Mu Lingxue, while the other was Ling Yuchen. Both were prodigies on the inner sect's Prodigy Ranking!

A hint of a smile appeared on Mu Lingxue's face as she looked at Ling Yuchen. "Senior Brother Ling, what brings you here today?"

Ling Yuchen wore a faint expression. "I have remained at ninety-first on the Prodigy Ranking for too long. I happened to make a breakthrough recently and wanted to challenge Xiao Yifeng, but unfortunately, someone beat me to it."

Ling Yuchen's gaze sharpened. "But it doesn't matter. Lin Feng will most likely be no match for Xiao Yifeng. When that happens, I will issue a challenge on the spot. Surely, with everyone watching, he will not dare refuse!"

Mu Lingxue was inwardly startled. Ling Yuchen was so confident; it seemed his strength had improved tremendously, or he would not have dared challenge Xiao Yifeng.

At that moment, another beautiful and delicate woman approached. It was Song Yiling. She stood beside Mu Lingxue, looking every bit like her close friend.
