Soon, Lin Feng completed the registration procedure.
He joined Fierce Yan Sect and became an outer disciple candidate.
Unlike participating in the Genius Selections, joining Fierce Yan Sect and becoming the lowest ranked outer court disciple could be registered at any time.
The procedure was not complicated. He only needed a recommendation from a disciple of Fierce Yan Sect.
In less than thirty seconds, he completed the registration.
…
"I'm sorry you had to see that," Sima Xi said helplessly.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Senior, you seem to have a grudge with Guardian Han?"
"It's not a grudge. It's just that he's petty and holds grudges." Sima Xi nodded slowly. "Ten years ago, I forged a six-star spirit treasure. When Guardian Han and Guardian Jing heard about it, they wanted to buy it. According to the sect's rules, whoever offered the highest price would get it. In the end … I sold it to Guardian Jing."
"You offended him just like that?" Lin Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
To hold a grudge over such a small matter, this Protector Han was truly too narrow-minded.
If he had offended him just now, wouldn't it mean …
Sima Xi shrugged and said helplessly, "In terms of refining weapons, I'm second to none in Fierce Yan Sect. However, in terms of strength, I'm at the bottom among the ten great guardians."
Lin Feng nodded. He understood.
In the Dou Ling World, the strong were respected.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this kind of person." Sima Xi looked at Lin Feng and said apologetically, "Lin Feng, you'll have to bear with it for a while. After a few months, I'll mention it to the sect leader. I'll definitely arrange for you to be promoted and enter the inner sect within a year."
"Won't that be a topic for ridicule?" Lin Feng smiled faintly. "There's no need to trouble senior."
"How can that be!" Sima Xi said. "According to Fierce Yan Sect's rules, no matter how strong a disciple is, he can only be promoted by one level every year."
"So?" Lin Feng said faintly.
Sima Xi said anxiously, "So even if you can be promoted every year, Lin Feng, you'll have to spend six years to enter the inner sect!" As his voice fell, before Lin Feng could say anything, Sima You had already repeatedly shook his head, "This absolutely cannot be done. You were recruited by me, so I must take responsibility. I must not waste your precious cultivation time."
"Junior appreciates Senior's kindness." Lin Feng said, "There's nothing wrong with being an Outer Sect Disciple. The responsibilities are light, and you don't have to bear any burden. Most importantly … as long as I advance another level and become an ordinary outer court disciple, I will also be able to participate in the ranking competition. "
The ranking competition was held every July.
Five years was considered one age group, and they would compete separately.
As long as one was an ordinary outer sect disciple or above, one could participate.
He already knew this from Cheng Qianqian.
Rewards would be given according to the ranking. The top 20 would be qualified to enter the Yanling Royal Residence.
It could be said that it was the most lively event in Liyan School.
"This …" Sima Xi was also stunned, and then he shook his head and said, "This is not the same. Inner Court disciples can enjoy many benefits, such as a cultivation environment, various secret manuals, distribution of resources, and so on. This is something that Outer Court disciples can't compare to. Moreover, only Inner Court disciples can be accepted as disciples by Guardians, Elders, and even the Sect Leader. Moreover, the Sect has a special event every month, and many Outer Court disciples can't participate at all. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior," Lin Feng declined politely.
It could be seen that Sima Xi was sincerely looking out for him.
However, he didn't lack anything at the moment. Joining Liyan School was firstly to have a quiet cultivation environment, so that he could cultivate without worries. Secondly, it was to have an additional backer, which could save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. Thirdly, it was for the identity token of the Yanling Royal Residence.
Therefore, there wasn't much difference between joining the Inner Court or Outer Court.
If there was a difference, it would be the way others looked at him, or the way they treated him.
However … was this important?
"Sigh!" Sima Xi let out a long sigh, but it was useless to persuade him. He could only agree helplessly, "Alright then. Lin Feng, when you change your mind, come find me again."
"Alright." Lin Feng smiled slightly.
…
"This is so infuriating!" Han Lu's face was ferocious, and his veins were bulging.
He sat down, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Damn it!" Han Lu exerted force with his right hand, and the cup was instantly shattered into pieces. The Liyan School disciples below had never seen such a scene, and all of them kept quiet out of fear. The pieces flew past their cheeks and cut open wounds, but they let the blood flow, and didn't dare to make a sound.
At this moment —
"Master, why are you so angry?" An indifferent voice sounded. It was rhythmic, and there was a hint of femininity in it.
It was a man who was as thin as firewood, with a pair of Yin and Yang eyes that shone brightly, and a gloomy smile on his face, which made people shudder.
"Oh, it's Ruyu?" Han Lu glanced, and his breathing calmed down a little.
"Greetings, Master." Bian Ruyu's cheeks moved slightly, and she said casually, "I wonder if this disciple can share Master's worries?"
Han Lu stared at Bian Ruyu, and his cold eyes shone brightly. He nodded and said, "Among all the disciples, you are the most treacherous and cunning. Keep a close eye on a disciple for me. He just joined the Outer Court today as a candidate disciple, and his name is Lin Feng. "
"A candidate disciple for the Outer Court?" Bian Ruyu was startled.
Looking up at Han Lu, and seeing the murderous look in his eyes, Bian Ruyu immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master. What should I do?"
"Should I …" Bian Ruyu looked up, her eyes cold, and made a gesture of slitting her neck.
"No hurry." Han Lu said coldly, "Send someone to keep a close eye on him, and report to me immediately if there are any unusual movements." Thinking of Lin Feng's appearance just now, Han Lu's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of coldness. He said coldly, "When it's time to act, I will inform you."
Bian Ruyu's eyes burned, and she cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Master."

Inside the Liyan School.
Sima Xian brought Lin Feng and wandered around.
Every time they arrived at a place, he explained in detail, showing the hospitality of a good host, without any airs.
Lin Feng nodded from time to time, or asked some small questions, and Sima Xi patiently answered.
They got along quite well.
"There, Xia 'er's residence is in front." Sima Xi pointed to the front.
Lin Feng looked over and saw a small stream with green grass. There was a stone house by the water, and the scenery was beautiful.
"The spirit energy here is really dense, far better than the residence of the Outer Court disciples." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled, and he could sense the aura very clearly. The spirit energy here was only slightly inferior to the wind valley of the Caifei Sect. And this was not the place with the densest spirit energy in the Liyan School.
"Regretting it?" Sima Xi smiled and said, "It's not too late to change your mind."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and shook his head.
The density of spirit energy was not what he needed the most now.
As long as there were enough star stones to absorb, it was the same for him no matter how thin the spirit energy was.
…
Chi! Chi!
The sword light was heavy, and it carried a sharp aura.
Not far from the stone house, Ji Xia was waving his two swords, practicing as if there was no one around.
"Ever since Xia 'er lost to you last time, he learned from the painful experience and cultivated hard for half a year." Sima Xi looked at Lin Feng thoughtfully, as if to say, "Be careful." Lin Feng smiled. "To tell you the truth, Junior came to Fierce Yan School this time for another purpose, which was to have a real fight with Brother Ji."
Last time, he had an unfair advantage!
He really wanted to have a good fight with Ji Xia when he was at his peak.
He wanted to see who was stronger.
"Good." Sima Xi patted Lin Feng's shoulder approvingly, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. "But don't underestimate Xia 'er. In this half a year, not only did he recover, but he also broke through again and again. Now, he already has the strength to fight for the top five among his peers in the Liyan School! "
Lin Feng replied with a soft "hmm", his eyes sparkling.
Just by looking at the way Ji Xia wielded his two swords, one could tell that he was different.
Especially that pair of eyes that emitted an indigo blue luster. They were filled with an oppressive aura, and they were like the eyes of an asura.
But …
It was only the strength to fight for the top five.
It was not even the top three!
"Liyan School is indeed full of experts."
"Ji Xia was once defeated by 'Golden Cicada', and Golden Cicada could not even take one hit from Ji Xiu."
"And this is only the same age as me. If they were older, they would definitely be stronger!"
Lin Feng's eyes were burning, and his heart was beating wildly.
After leaving Green Smoke City, he realized how big the Dou Ling World was. It was far beyond his imagination.
Liyan School alone had hundreds of millions of martial artists.
Only now did he truly understand what Duoduo said. Compared to the Dou Ling World, the Tianwu Continent was as insignificant as a grain of sand.
But the more it was like this, the more challenging it was!
Soon —
"Hua!" Ji Xia stopped.
With his strength, he could clearly sense his surroundings even when he was practicing.
"Master!" Ji Xia smiled. When he saw Lin Feng, he could not help but be stunned. He said in a daze, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin Feng, are you really not joining Liyan School?"
"No, I have joined Liyan School," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Really? That's great! " Ji Xia laughed heartily, but he saw his master's strange expression. Suddenly, he thought of something and said in surprise, "Oh right, Brother Lin, since you participated in the 'Genius Selection', why are you here? It shouldn't be over so soon, right?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "No, I just became an outer sect disciple candidate."
"What?!" Ji Xia widened his eyes, completely stunned, "Impossible!"
He looked at Sima Xi, and saw his master's helpless expression. Ji Xia frowned, "Master, what's going on?"
"It's a long story," Sima Xi sighed, "You guys take your time. Xia 'er, help Lin Feng arrange things later. I still have a mission for the selection, so I'll leave these chores to you. Remember, no matter what Lin Feng wants, try your best to satisfy him. "
"Yes, Master," Ji Xia said seriously.
Sima Xi looked at Lin Feng, his eyes burning, "You really … won't regret it?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Alright then." Sima Xi sighed helplessly, "I won't force you. I'll take my leave first. If there's anything, Lin Feng, come and find me directly."
"Yes, Senior," Lin Feng nodded and said.
Looking at Sima Xi's back, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He did not know about the rest of Liyan School, but Senior Sima treated him sincerely, like family.
This feeling was very comfortable.
