"Yiling." Mu Lingxue smiled at Song Yiling.
The elders of their two families were close, and the younger generation got along well too. Mu Lingxue had come today because she was deeply curious about Lin Feng.
Ever since Song Yiling had been saved by Lin Feng that day, she had spoken of him before Mu Lingxue every day, saying that his strength was outstanding and that his comprehension of the sword path ranked among the finest in the Limitless Sacred Land.
Mu Lingxue had always greatly admired prodigies. Now that someone like Lin Feng had appeared, naturally she had wanted to come take a look.
Only...
Lin Feng was challenging Xiao Yifeng!
He was biting off such a hard bone right from the start? Wasn't that a little too confident?
Mu Lingxue knew how formidable Xiao Yifeng was. Although she ranked ninety-fifth on the Prodigy Ranking, only five places below Xiao Yifeng, those five places were like a chasm between heaven and earth, impossible to cross!
This Lin Feng... wasn't even in the top hundred, yet he dared challenge Xiao Yifeng?
Song Yiling nodded lightly. "Lingxue, that is Lin Feng."
Mu Lingxue's beautiful eyes flickered. "He doesn't look particularly special. Is he really as strong as you said, Yiling?"
Song Yiling nodded firmly. She had seen Lin Feng's strength with her own eyes. It was terrifying beyond measure!
"Still, while Lin Feng is strong, Xiao Yifeng is no weakling either," Song Yiling said after some thought. Lin Feng's strength lay in his combat ability against opponents at the same realm, but Xiao Yifeng had now advanced to the eighth level of the Palace of Destiny Realm. With such a vast gap in cultivation, could Lin Feng truly win?
The crowd gathered around them grew larger and larger. A considerable number of Inner Disciples had arrived. This was a grand occasion: a duel between Prodigy Ranking disciples, with two other Prodigy Ranking geniuses present besides Xiao Yifeng. It could truly be called a gathering of prodigies!
On the arena, a terrifying killing intent flashed from Xiao Yifeng's eyes. "It seems my, Xiao Yifeng's, name still isn't loud enough. People actually still dare to challenge me. Even someone from the Sea of Reincarnation Realm dares to bully his way over my head."
His tone was cold to the extreme, brimming with killing intent!
Lin Feng merely said lightly, "Come."
Xiao Yifeng's gaze turned even colder at those words. The calmer Lin Feng spoke, the more clearly it showed the depth of his contempt. This man was truly confident!
Swift Shadow Divine Fist!
Xiao Yifeng's body suddenly moved, turning into an afterimage that vanished from where he stood in an instant. Terrifying energy erupted across the arena. Though the surrounding disciples would not be harmed, they could clearly feel that imposing momentum!
Swift Shadow Divine Fist!
An Inner Disciple immediately cried out in alarm, "That is a Venerable-grade Divine Ability! Xiao Yifeng's martial talent is exceptionally outstanding. Rumor has it that he has already cultivated the Swift Shadow Divine Fist to the major success stage, not far from perfection!"
The hearts of many disciples trembled. Even getting started with a Venerable-grade Divine Ability was extremely difficult, let alone reaching minor success. If one cultivated it to perfection, that would be even more outrageous!
Xiao Yifeng had used a major-success Venerable-grade Divine Ability right away. It was clear that although he looked down on Lin Feng, he had not underestimated him in the slightest. The moment he attacked, he went all out!
Countless fist shadows appeared over the arena. A closer look showed there were at least a thousand of them, every fist carrying power of ultimate destruction!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air itself seemed about to be blasted apart by Xiao Yifeng's fists!
Yet Lin Feng simply drew his sword. Terrifying sword light continuously burst from his blade, imbued with Eight-Layer Sword Intent. Its power was equally extraordinary as it crashed toward Xiao Yifeng!
Moments later, Lin Feng directly neutralized the Swift Shadow Divine Fist!
A trace of surprise appeared in Xiao Yifeng's eyes. His body shifted slightly backward before he halted in place and carefully sized Lin Feng up. "You have some skill!"
That had been a Venerable-grade Divine Ability, yet Lin Feng had blocked it so directly. Xiao Yifeng had to admit that Lin Feng was indeed rather strong. After all, he was only at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, not even the Palace of Destiny Realm!
The many Inner Disciples around them cried out in shock. Lin Feng could even withstand a major-success Venerable-grade Divine Ability—his strength was truly unfathomable!
However, Ling Yuchen, also a Prodigy Ranking disciple, remained indifferent. "You're already praising a Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciple? You're underestimating Xiao Yifeng far too much. He did not reach ninetieth place on the Prodigy Ranking by relying on just one Venerable-grade Divine Ability."
Mu Lingxue nodded slightly as well, clearly agreeing with Ling Yuchen.
For a genius capable of entering the Prodigy Ranking, one major-success Venerable-grade Divine Ability was obviously not enough—not nearly enough!
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng stood still, yet his figure flickered between illusion and reality, as though he were about to slip into the void!
Many disciples grew suspicious and confused, unable to see what move Xiao Yifeng would use next!
An Inner Disciple boldly asked Ling Yuchen with respect, "Senior Brother Ling, may I ask what technique Senior Brother Xiao is using?"
Everyone turned their eyes toward Ling Yuchen, wanting to hear his explanation.
Ling Yuchen's gaze deepened. He no longer wore his previous indifferent expression. Xiao Yifeng's move clearly made him quite wary as well!
"Flashstrike Voidbreaker!" Ling Yuchen said slowly. "A Mighty-grade Divine Ability!"
A Mighty-grade Divine Ability!
The moment those words came out, everyone changed color in an uproar.
Mighty-grade...
Xiao Yifeng's martial talent was actually so heaven-defying that he could even learn a Mighty-grade Divine Ability?!
Wasn't that simply invincible?!
"Though it is a Mighty-grade Divine Ability, Xiao Yifeng has only just begun cultivating it—not even reaching minor success. Even so, its killing power is sufficiently formidable. Lin Feng may not be able to withstand it!" Ling Yuchen said.
Everyone knew how sharp Ling Yuchen's eye was. Since even he said so, many believed Lin Feng was likely facing more danger than safety.
Yet Xiao Yifeng's figure on the arena grew increasingly illusory, and that aura of imminent shattering made Ling Yuchen suddenly furrow his brows.
The next moment.
Ling Yuchen cried out, "Wait! Flashstrike Voidbreaker... Xiao Yifeng has already cultivated it to minor success?!"
His expression instantly turned somewhat grave. It was a Mighty-grade Divine Ability, yet Xiao Yifeng had cultivated it to minor success while only at the Palace of Destiny Realm!
The Inner Disciples who heard this were thrown into even greater uproar.
They shook their heads one after another.
Lin Feng would probably be knocked out in a single blow.
On the arena, Lin Feng's expression remained calm. He watched Xiao Yifeng's continuously flickering figure with interest as the other man kept searching for an opportunity to strike.
"A Mighty-grade Divine Ability?"
Lin Feng murmured, "But it seems his proficiency is insufficient. This power probably isn't much to look at either."
Lin Feng spoke softly, but everyone heard him. The disciples all wore strange expressions, wondering whether Lin Feng had gone mad.
Even at the entry stage, a Mighty-grade Divine Ability was powerful enough!
Just then!
Xiao Yifeng's body completely vanished, followed by an utterly terrifying surge of energy!
"A mere Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator forcing me to use a Mighty-grade Divine Ability—you'll have something to boast about in the future!" Xiao Yifeng's cold voice echoed beside Lin Feng's ear.
