“Isn’t this Lin Feng too powerful? He actually defeated Situ Lei in a single move.” Cries of shock echoed out.

All the students here had gazes of extreme terror and awe as they stared at Lin Feng.

The invincible legend of Situ Lei was broken by Lin Feng just like that.

Also, Lin Feng only used a single move!

This caused everyone at the scene to feel a sense of disbelief.

“This is impossible!” Situ Lei howled; he had no way to believe this was real.

“Bang!” Lin Feng acted very straight-forwardly. He walked over and stomped down on Situ Lei, trampling him under his feet.

“Any random trash also dares to run up to me and bug me. In the future, scram further away when you see me.” As the sound of his voice faded, Lin Feng blasted Situ Lei away with a single kick.

All his vaunted pride was shattered instantly.

Pu!

Situ Lei found it difficult to endure such humiliation. He coughed out another three mouthfuls of blood and fainted.

The crowd dispersed, making way for him and staring at Lin Feng’s back as he left.

The Jialan Academy was a place where the one with strength ruled supreme.

Everyone was in awe of powerful experts. It was the same in any corner of the world.

….

Time passed day by day.

When Lin Feng wasn’t cultivating, he would head to the lecture hall of the Long River Branch Court to listen to the elders’ lessons.

In the blink of an eye, it had been almost half a year since Lin Feng had joined the inner court.

Lin Feng went to the Skills Pavilion once again.

This time, he came here to return the ‘Blazing Sun Sword Art’ to the Skills Pavilion.

After a disciple borrows a martial skill manual from the Skills Pavilion, they could at most keep it for half a year. After that, they had to return the manual.

“You are here again, you are here again! I know you, I know you!” As he walked into the Skills Pavilion, a sharp cry rang out. It was none other than that strange bird reared by Elder Tianxuan.

“Where is the elder?” Lin Feng asked.

“Fatty, someone is looking for you. Fatty, someone is looking for you…” the strange bird called out loudly.

“Damn bird, tonight, this daddy is definitely going to slaughter you and stew you with vegetables for my dinner.” Elder Tianxuan’s enraged voice rang out from within the Skills Pavilion.

“Ah, don’t do that. I’m so frightened that I can die, I’m so frightened that I can die!” The strange bird flopped onto the ground as it cried out, using both its wings to cover its eyes.

Lin Feng silently marveled at this. This strange bird must have cultivated and completely transformed into a demon.

“Oh, so it’s you, brat.” Elder Tianxuan walked out. He was clearly very happy after he saw Lin Feng.

“Senior I came back to return the manual.” Lin Feng took out the scroll that recorded the fragmented Blazing Sun Sword Art and passed it back to Elder Tianxuan.

Elder Tianxuan received the scroll. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Feng as he spoke, “You took this fragmented sword art away for half a year and only returned it now. How’s your cultivation of it?”

“Disciple has gained some insights,” said Lin Feng.

“Oh? Come on then, let me test your swordplay. I want to see if your training of this art is on the correct path or not,” Elder Tianxuan spoke.

“Many thanks for your guidance in advance.” Lin Feng and Elder Tianxuan then went to the front courtyard of the Skills Pavilion.

The strange bird also ran out with them. It called out loudly, “Fighting, fighting! Come and watch the show!”

“Damn bird, shut your mouth.” Elder Tianxuan ruthlessly glared at the strange bird.

“I’ll shut up, I’ll shut up!” The strange bird cried, but it clearly had no intention to shut up. Elder Tianxuan threw one of his shoes at it, and it smashed into the bird’s head.

“Ah, so stinky!” The strange bird had an expression on its face like it was about to faint from the smell.

Elder Tianxuan couldn’t be bothered with the bird any longer. He turned to Lin Feng. “Brat, attack me with your full strength.”

“Senior, please be careful then.” Lin Feng reminded him. After that, he grabbed his sword.

Swish~

Lin Feng unleashed his strongest strike.

Blazing Sun Rises Up The Sky.

Divine Sword Unsheathed.

Lin Feng was enveloped by the divine light of the blazing sun.

He was one with the sword and his speed was quick to the extreme. His sword stabbed toward Elder Tianxuan.

“What?” Elder Tianxuan was badly shocked. His knowledge was broad, so he could instantly tell how terrifying this sword art was.

This was the reason why he was so shocked.

The Blazing Sun Sword Art was fragmented. Although one could cultivate it, because it was fragmented, many people who forcibly cultivated it would eventually end up not being able to control the sword qi in their bodies and die due to the sword qi explosion.

“What a powerful sword strike.” Elder Tianxuan was startled badly.

Lin Feng’s sword pierced through the air and was about to reach him.

At this moment, Elder Tianxuan moved.

He stretched out his right hand and flicked his finger out lightly.

Keng!

Elder Tianxuan’s flick landed onto Lin Feng’s sword, and the impact directly caused Lin Feng to retreat several steps backward.

Shock surfaced in Lin Feng’s heart. Elder Tianxuan’s strength was so terrifying. With just a finger flick, the elder blasted him back effortlessly. Also, it was clear that Elder Tianxuan had merely unleashed a casual strike.

“Many thanks for showing mercy, senior.” Lin Feng retracted his sword and clasped his fists.

Elder Tianxuan continued speaking, “This sword strike of yours isn’t considered that polished yet. However, in your hands, this sword art has once again displayed its glory; it’s worthy of a celebration. When you cultivate in the future, you must make sure to work hard. Do not slack off, you hear me?”

“Junior will remember your teachings! I will absolutely not dare to slack off,” said Lin Feng seriously.

The heavens had given Lin Feng a chance to start afresh, and he knew how valuable this opportunity was. He wouldn’t dare to relax or slack off.

Cultivation was like a boat going against the water currents. If one didn’t row to advance, they would only be pushed back.

“Alright, you can go.” Elder Tianxuan nodded.

“Junior bids you farewell, elder.”

From now to half a month later, Lin Feng constantly trained the Blazing Sun Sword Art, wanting to perfect his mastery of it.

Today afternoon, the sound of a bell suddenly rang throughout the Jialan Academy.

BOOM…

The bell chimes continued ringing, echoing through the air.

“Nine bell chimes sounding out successively. Something major must have happened.” Everyone in the Jialan Academy was startled.

“What had happened exactly?” Lin Feng also felt extremely puzzled.

“Let me go check it out.” Zhang Qichu went to inquire, and an hour later, he returned with a shocking piece of news.

In the True Martial Country, demons and devils were running rampant, plundering and killing—truly cruel to the extreme.

Right now, the True Martial Country was summoning experts and armies from all the big cities in the country, including the top ten academies. They wanted everyone to band together and annihilate these demons that were wreaking havoc.

“Ever since the True Martial Country was built, there has never been a case where demons or devils appeared within its borders. Now that the demons and devils are wreaking havoc nearby, something major must have happened,” said Zhang Qichu with a worried expression.

Demons and devils could be categorized into demon races and devil races.

The demon races were cunning while the devil races were cruel.

In the past, that great war that spanned across the Skymartial Continent was known as the Medieval Chaos. The demons and devils had formed armies and attacked the Skymartial Continent, causing large amounts of lives to be exterminated.

But after the Medieval Chaos had been quelled, the demon and devil powers had had their territories reduced. From then on, it was very rare for them to send their experts out to create chaos. Even if there really were demon or devil powers appearing on the Skymartial Continent, these powers would be swiftly eradicated.

And it had been 3,000 years since the True Martial Country was established, and there had never been a case of devil or demon powers appearing here. Now that they came en-masse and created chaos everywhere, many places in this region had an extremely pessimistic situation.

Some cities were even directly occupied by the demons and devils. As a result, countless cultivators and ordinary folks of the True Martial Country were either injured or dead from this sudden invasion.
