Although he could see the stars in the sky, he couldn't see all of them. Du Feng's swordsmanship was like the stars in the sky, twinkling non-stop, as if it was telling a story that no one knew about.
This time, Du Feng used a series of consecutive moves. He knew that he couldn't kill all 34 swordsmen in one move on the third floor of the sword pagoda, so he tried his best to use consecutive moves. There were only stars in the hall, but no sound of business could be heard.
After the starlight was extinguished, all 34 swordsmen fell to the ground. He didn't stop and continued to move. He suddenly turned around and stabbed with his sword. The two swordsmen leaders who had just come out had their temples pierced like candied haws.
Du Feng put away the Riding Dragon Sword and clapped his hands. He thought that he should be faster than the last time. He wondered what his ranking would be on the list. When he went downstairs and walked to the exit, he heard the old pagoda guardian shouting.
"Not bad, kid. Work hard and break the record for him."
After hearing the old pagoda guardian's words, Du Feng went out to take a look at the list and understood. This time, his ranking had risen to third place. The first place was Uncle Wei, and the second place was Jin Buhuan. Who was this Jin Buhuan? He was the current Vice Sect Leader.
It seemed like he was a very powerful person when he was in the Heaven Celestial Stage. His talent was second only to Uncle Wei.
After all, Du Feng had just broken through to the early stage of Level 3 of the Heaven Celestial Stage, and he hadn't been practicing the Star Chasing Sword Art for long. There was still a lot of room for improvement. The other people's results were achieved when they were at the peak of Level 5 of the Heaven Celestial Stage, and they had practiced the sword art for several years or even more than a decade.
Previously, Du Feng had only surpassed Hong Xiuzhen's ranking and pushed her name out of the list, which made it a little awkward. Now, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and a few other Elders had all been surpassed by Du Feng. Everyone had been surpassed by a newcomer, so no one laughed at each other.
"Look, Senior Brother Du … No, Hall Master Du's ranking has risen again."
"Yes, he has left the Second Elder far behind."
"Let me see him. Clan Chief Du will soon become Elder Du. I think the position of Qin Ming Hall's Elder will be in danger."
Everyone started to discuss again. This time, most of them pointed the spearhead at the Second Elder. This was because he had always been the one with the best swordsmanship among the four elders. However, in such a short period of time, Du Feng had already surpassed him.
As long as Du Feng's Cultivation rose to the sixth level of the Heaven Celestial Stage and went to the fourth level of the Sword Pagoda, he would be qualified to completely replace him. At that time, even if the Second Elder was unwilling to abdicate his position, the higher-ups of the sect would force him to do so.
After all, for the Yu Xian School to develop, they needed to nurture more talents. In order to nurture more talents, they needed better teachers.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … there's going to be a good show."
"That's right, that's right."
The more they talked, the more excited they became. It was as if they could already see that Du Feng would soon replace the Second Elder.
In fact, Du Feng could not replace the Second Elder for the time being. After all, he had only surpassed the Second Elder on the third level of the Sword Pagoda. He had not gone to the fourth level yet because his Cultivation was not high enough. What everyone saw was a kind of potential, or rather, a possibility.
The news spread to the Qin Ming Hall very quickly. Everyone had a different reaction. Some people expressed their loyalty to their teachers, saying that they would follow their teachers no matter what. Such words were not pleasing at all, because it meant that the Second Elder could really be replaced.
Some people were silent and started to think about what to do next. Should they build a good relationship with Clan Chief Du in advance? What if he became their teacher in the future? They heard that Clan Chief Du's swordsmanship was very powerful. Following him would be a good way out.
As for the Second Elder himself, he was even more depressed. He simply decided to go into seclusion. He also said that he would not come out until he broke through to the Golden Celestial Stage.
Things were getting lively now. With the second elder going into seclusion like this, Qin Ming Hall was like a group of dragons without a leader, becoming a pot of porridge. The disciples had all kinds of thoughts. Some were even considering whether they should go to the Array Sealing Hall to get in touch with Clan Chief Du.
After the Second Elder went into seclusion, Shan Tianfan also started to go into seclusion. He also said that he would not come out until he broke through to the Sky Celestial Stage.
After Shan Tianfan went into seclusion, Zheng Kenan also went into seclusion. He also said that he would not come out until he broke through to the Sky Celestial Stage. Now, seclusion became popular in the Qin Ming Hall.
Du Feng did not care much about those rumors, because he had one more thing to worry about, and that was whether Old Master Jia would come to the Yu Xian Sect. He did not know how long he could hide Su Susu's matter. It was a pity that his Cultivation was still too low to deal with a master like Old Master Jia.
Although the male ghost cultivator in the Blossom City had many ways to deal with him, his current Cultivation was too low. Xiao Hei's level had not been raised either. They all had great potential, but there was not much time left. In the remaining days, Du Feng cherished every minute and second and worked hard to improve his strength.
He knew that he could not beat Old Master Jia, because the gap between the Sky Celestial Stage and the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was too big. Even if he self-destructed, he could not hurt the body of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
Unless Old Master Jia was stupid and took the initiative to release his War Beasts for Du Tulong to eat, then there might be a little hope of winning.
"Now you think of me. Hurry up and get me more War Beasts to eat. I guarantee that your Cultivation will improve rapidly."
Du Tulong was right. Du Feng could not improve his Cultivation so quickly according to the normal way. Unless he found a large number of War Beasts for Du Tulong to eat, this was the only way he could improve his Cultivation quickly.
But this was easier said than done. Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to release their War Beasts? Moreover, not every warrior in the Heaven Realm had a War Beast. Because the Heaven Realm corresponded to more than one Mortal World, many warriors from the Mortal World did not have War Beasts at all.
He could only take it one step at a time. Du Feng went to the back mountain every night to kill Demon Beasts to refine the Red Gourd. This time, he learned to not kill in the same area. Instead, he killed in a different place after a while, so that a certain kind of Demon Beast would not become extinct.
This kind of life passed for more than half a month. He had collected too many Demon Beast corpses in his Storage Ring. After thinking about it, he went down the mountain to dig out the Bone Banner.
Such a large pile of Demon Beast corpses should be absorbed by the Bone Banner, which should have some effect.
