Ling Yuchen had come today because his strength had improved greatly. His cultivation realm had risen, and his Martial Dao True Intent had advanced further as well. He had grown much stronger in every aspect.
It gave Ling Yuchen the confidence to fight Xiao Yifeng, perhaps even seize Xiao Yifeng's position at ninetieth.
Yet, to his surprise, Lin Feng had already challenged Xiao Yifeng before him.
Ling Yuchen's thoughts at the time had been simple. He believed Lin Feng would not last long and would be instantly defeated by Xiao Yifeng.
Then he would step onto the stage and fight Xiao Yifeng in a battle that would shake the ages.
But unexpectedly...
Lin Feng's strength was so formidable that Xiao Yifeng had ultimately even brought out his trump card.
Lin Feng had not even dodged, letting the Shadow Spider bite him head-on!
Then he had even used the momentum to break through into the Palace of Destiny Realm!
This chain of developments had surpassed Ling Yuchen's imagination.
He looked at Mu Lingxue and Song Yiling beside him. The two women wore equally stunned 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 fought the Eighth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm and won. If that was not monstrous talent, then what was? He absolutely possessed Sequence Aptitude!
Song Yiling nodded, her voice trembling. "That's right. With his strength, he can indeed compete for one of the Limitless Sacred Land's Ten Sequences. 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 originally held no hope for Lin Feng's victory and had even considered whether she should persuade him to challenge someone else.
Yet the truth was that she had underestimated Lin Feng far too much.
Just then, Lin Feng's light, drifting figure arrived before Song Yiling.
Mu Lingxue's delicate body trembled as she felt immense pressure.
Lin Feng had been able to defeat Xiao Yifeng 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 powerful?!
"Now that I've defeated Xiao Yifeng, is there some kind of proof of victory?" Lin Feng asked.
The reason he asked was simple: Lin Feng wanted to claim his reward.
He clearly remembered the Internal Affairs Hall elder saying that the hundredth place on the Prodigy Ranking could receive one million Medium-Grade Origin Stones, and every advance of ten places would add another million Medium-Grade Origin Stones.
That meant the hundredth-ranked disciple received one million Medium-Grade Origin Stones, while the ninetieth-ranked disciple should receive two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones.
One had to know that the exchange ratio 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 eyes flickered. How many layers could such a vast amount of Origin Stones raise his cultivation by?
If he were still in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, he could naturally advance by many layers. But Lin Feng had already entered the Palace of Destiny Realm.
Lin Feng could clearly feel 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 came back to her senses. "The Martial Dao Arena has its own record. Go to the Internal Affairs Hall elder, and he'll know."
"I see. Thank you." Lin Feng nodded slightly, then vanished like a gust of wind.
Countless people in the arena were still immersed in shock, each of them looking at Lin Feng with immense fear.
After Lin Feng left, an uproar of terrifying discussion erupted.
"Too strong!!"
"Sequence Aptitude—he absolutely has Sequence Aptitude! His ability to fight across realms is far too powerful. That was Xiao Yifeng, not some stray cat or dog! He's an unparalleled prodigy ranked ninetieth on the Inner Sect Prodigy Ranking!"
"Yeah, so strong!"
"I wonder if he has a Dao companion? If not, I'm making my move..."
The Inner Disciples chattered noisily among themselves.
In a corner, Xu Jun, Chen Yunjing, and Wei Changfeng still stood there with dazed expressions.
This...
He already had Sequence Aptitude?
Thinking back on everything before this, Lin Feng had not seemed that strong. When he defeated them while they were in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, he had seemed like no more than an Inner Disciple with slightly better talent.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng could already crush the ninetieth-ranked disciple on the Prodigy Ranking!
Such terrifying progress in strength made people turn pale with fright.
News of Lin Feng defeating Xiao Yifeng soon spread throughout the entire Inner Sect.
To most Inner Disciples, disciples on the Prodigy Ranking were lofty, unreachable, invincible beings.
Among tens of thousands of Inner Disciples, could the strength of someone ranked in the top hundred possibly be questioned?
They were certainly extremely powerful existences!
Moreover...
What shocked people most about Lin Feng was his ability to fight across realms.
Once the news spread through the Inner Sect, many disciples on the Prodigy Ranking frowned, their interest piqued by everything about Lin Feng.
This peerless genius would certainly challenge his way upward step by step in the future. When that happened, those ranked in the top ninety of the Prodigy Ranking...
Could all potentially be challenged!
At this moment, countless disciples on the Prodigy Ranking desperately wanted to grow stronger as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if Lin Feng challenged them someday, they would be in deep trouble.
Even some Core Disciples had taken notice of Lin Feng, because his ability to fight across realms was simply too extraordinary.
Yet Lin Feng, the protagonist at the center of the storm, knew nothing of this.
At this moment, he had already arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.
The Internal Affairs Hall elder looked leisurely. Seeing Lin Feng arrive, he asked, "What is it? Did you successfully challenge another cultivation cave?"
"No."
"Then are you here to accept a mission?" The Internal Affairs Hall elder had become somewhat familiar with Lin Feng. He was a minor prodigy of the Inner Sect, with a rather high chance of reaching the Venerable Realm in the future.
"Neither." Lin Feng said, "Elder, I just defeated the ninetieth-ranked disciple on the Prodigy Ranking. I heard from the other disciples that you can verify it here, so I came to claim my reward. If I remember correctly, it should be two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones!"
As Lin Feng's words fell—
The Internal Affairs Hall elder's expression instantly lost its composure.
His gaze sharpened at once. "You defeated the ninetieth-ranked disciple? Xiao Yifeng?"
Lin Feng nodded.
The Internal Affairs Hall elder sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately sent out his vast divine sense to connect with the Martial Dao Arena!
Very quickly, the Internal Affairs Hall elder learned everything that had happened on the Martial Dao Arena.
Xiao Yifeng had gone all out, even using the Shadow Spider, his trump card, yet he had still been defeated by Lin Feng.
It could only be described as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood—a forceful, overwhelming suppression!!
"You brat...?"
The Internal Affairs Hall elder stared intently at Lin Feng. This boy truly possessed Sequence Aptitude.
One had to know that every one of the Ten Sequences was an unparalleled prodigy. Fighting across realms was as easy and effortless to them as eating and drinking; there was no difficulty at all.
It could be said that even among the Core Disciples, few could compare with Lin Feng.
In the future, Lin Feng had a chance to occupy one of the Ten Sequence positions!
"Here, this is your reward."
The Internal Affairs Hall elder directly gave Lin Feng two million Medium-Grade Origin Stones!
Lin Feng nodded slightly, thanked the Internal Affairs Hall elder, and prepared to return to cultivate.
Yet just as he was about to leave, the Internal Affairs Hall elder called out to Lin Feng.
