Ling Yuchen had come today because his strength had improved greatly. His cultivation had risen, and his Martial Dao True Intent had advanced another step. He had grown much stronger in every respect.
It gave Ling Yuchen the confidence to fight Xiao Yifeng, perhaps even seize Xiao Yifeng's position at ninetieth place.
Yet what he had not expected was that Lin Feng had gotten there first and already challenged Xiao Yifeng.
Ling Yuchen's thoughts at the time had been very simple. He had thought Lin Feng would not last long and would be instantly killed by Xiao Yifeng.
Then he would take the stage and wage an earth-shaking battle against Xiao Yifeng.
What he had not expected was...
Lin Feng's strength was this formidable. In the end, Xiao Yifeng had even brought out his trump card.
Lin Feng had not even dodged. He had forcibly allowed the Shadow Spider to bite him!
And then he had used that momentum to break through into the Palace of Destiny Realm!
This string of changes had utterly surpassed Ling Yuchen's imagination.
He looked at Mu Lingxue and Song Yiling beside him. Both women wore equally shocked expressions.
"An unparalleled prodigy—he has Sequence Aptitude!" Mu Lingxue drew in a deep breath.
He absolutely had Sequence Aptitude!
Even among the core disciples, it would be difficult to find anyone with combat power as terrifying as Lin Feng's!
At the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, he had defeated someone at the Eighth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm. If that was not monstrous talent, then what was? He unquestionably had Sequence Aptitude!
Song Yiling nodded with a trembling voice. "That's right. With his strength, he can indeed contend for one of the ten sequences of the Limitless Sacred Land. He might even go a step further—perhaps he could become the Limitless Sacred Son."
The two women were utterly shaken, especially Song Yiling. She had not held much hope for Lin Feng's victory in the first place, and had even considered whether to persuade him to challenge someone else.
Yet the truth was that she had underestimated Lin Feng far too much.
Just then, Lin Feng's drifting figure arrived before Song Yiling.
Mu Lingxue's delicate body trembled beside her as she felt immense pressure.
Lin Feng had defeated Xiao Yifeng while at the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Now that he was at the First Layer Palace of Destiny Realm, would he not be even more formidable?!
"Now that I've defeated Xiao Yifeng, is there some kind of proof of victory?" Lin Feng asked.
The reason for asking was simple: Lin Feng wanted to claim his reward.
He clearly remembered what the Internal Affairs Hall elder had once said. The hundredth place on the Prodigy Ranking could receive one million Medium-Grade Origin Stones, and every ten places advanced would add another million Medium-Grade Origin Stones.
That meant the hundredth place received one million Medium-Grade Origin Stones, while ninetieth place should receive two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones.
One had to know that the exchange rate between Medium-Grade Origin Stones and Low-Grade Origin Stones was one hundred to one!
Two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones meant... two hundred million Low-Grade Origin Stones!
Lin Feng's gaze flickered. He wondered how many layers such a vast quantity of Origin Stones could raise his cultivation by.
If he were still in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, he could naturally advance by many layers. But Lin Feng was already in the Palace of Destiny Realm.
Lin Feng could clearly sense that after entering the Palace of Destiny Realm, the terrifying amount of Origin Energy his body required was beyond description—dozens of times that of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!
Song Yiling snapped back to her senses. "The Martial Dao Arena has its own record. Go to the Internal Affairs Hall elder; he will know."
"I see. Thank you." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then vanished like a gust of wind.
Countless people in the arena were still steeped in shock, every one of them looking at Lin Feng with immense fear.
And once Lin Feng left, a storm of discussion erupted.
"Too strong!!"
"Sequence Aptitude—he absolutely has Sequence Aptitude! His ability to fight above his realm is too powerful! That was Xiao Yifeng, not some stray cat or dog. He was an unparalleled prodigy ranked ninetieth on the Inner Sect Prodigy Ranking!"
"Yeah, he's so strong!"
"I wonder if he has a Dao companion? If not, I'm making my move..."
The inner sect disciples chattered noisily.
Meanwhile, in a corner, Xu Jun, Chen Yunjing, and Wei Changfeng still stood there with blank expressions.
This...
He already had Sequence Aptitude?
Thinking back on everything that had happened before, Lin Feng had not seemed all that strong. Defeating them, who were in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, had at most made him seem like an inner sect disciple with slightly better talent.
Yet after merely a short while apart, Lin Feng was already able to crush the ninetieth-ranked disciple on the Prodigy Ranking!
Such terrifying progress in strength made their faces pale with horror.
News of Lin Feng defeating Xiao Yifeng quickly spread throughout the entire inner sect.
To most inner sect disciples, disciples on the Prodigy Ranking were lofty, unreachable, invincible existences.
Among tens of thousands of inner sect disciples, those who could rank in the top hundred—was there even any need to question their strength?
They were certainly immensely powerful!
Besides...
What had shocked everyone most about Lin Feng was his ability to fight above his realm.
It could be said that once the news spread through the inner sect, quite a few disciples on the Prodigy Ranking frowned and became interested in everything about Lin Feng.
This unparalleled genius would surely challenge his way upward step by step in the future. When that time came, those ranked in the top ninety of the Prodigy Ranking...
Could all possibly be challenged!
At this moment, countless Prodigy Ranking disciples desperately wished to grow stronger quickly. Otherwise, if Lin Feng challenged them someday, they would be in for misery.
Even some core disciples had taken notice of Lin Feng, because his ability to fight above his realm was simply too impressive.
Yet Lin Feng, the central figure in the whirlpool, knew nothing of this.
By then, he had already arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
The Internal Affairs Hall elder looked relaxed. Seeing Lin Feng arrive, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you successfully challenge another cultivation cave?"
"No."
"Then are you here to accept a mission?" The Internal Affairs Hall elder had grown somewhat familiar with Lin Feng. He counted as a minor prodigy of the inner sect, with quite a high chance of becoming a Venerable Realm expert in the future.
"Neither." Lin Feng said, "Elder, I just defeated the ninetieth-ranked disciple on the Prodigy Ranking. I heard other disciples say you could verify it here, so I came to claim my reward. If I remember correctly, the reward should be two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones!"
As Lin Feng's words fell—
The Internal Affairs Hall elder's expression could no longer remain calm for even a moment.
His eyes narrowed abruptly. "You defeated the ninetieth place? Xiao Yifeng?"
Lin Feng nodded.
The Internal Affairs Hall elder sucked in a cold breath and immediately sent out his vast divine sense to communicate with the Martial Dao Arena!
Very quickly, the Internal Affairs Hall elder learned everything that had happened in the Martial Dao Arena.
Xiao Yifeng had gone all out and even used the Shadow Spider, his trump card, yet he had still been defeated by Lin Feng.
It had simply been like withered wood and rotten weeds before him—a forceful, crushing domination!!
"You brat...?"
The Internal Affairs Hall elder stared intently at Lin Feng, his gaze blazing. This boy truly had Sequence Aptitude.
One had to know that every one of the ten sequences was an unparalleled prodigy. Fighting above their realm was as easy and effortless as eating and drinking to them; there was no difficulty whatsoever.
It could be said that even among the core disciples, few could compare to Lin Feng.
In the future, Lin Feng had a chance of occupying one of the ten sequence positions!
"Here, this is your reward."
The Internal Affairs Hall elder directly handed two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones to Lin Feng!
Lin Feng nodded slightly and thanked the Internal Affairs Hall elder, preparing to return and cultivate.
However, just as he was about to leave, the Internal Affairs Hall elder called out to Lin Feng.
