"Master." Zhu Ling cupped his hands.
At this moment, Zhu Ling's expression was serious. He did not look cynical at all.
"What do you think?" Ji Jin asked calmly.
"This little junior brother is quite good." Zhu Ling nodded slightly. His eyes shone brightly. "His aptitude, talent, and temperament are all complete. He's tolerant and low-key, but there's a hint of pride in his bones. He's tenacious and indomitable. It's extremely rare and precious."
Ji Jin looked at Zhu Ling and smiled. "He seems to be very similar to you."
Zhu Ling said casually, "Master, you flatter me."
"I've been paying attention to him for three months." Ji Jin's eyes shone slightly as he smiled faintly. "This little fellow's performance is indeed very good. Regardless of his aptitude and talent, his personality alone makes him extremely suitable to be the successor of the sect master." Ji Jin glanced at Zhu Ling and said seriously, "And you, you're just a little lacking."
Zhu Ling smiled and said, "Master, you've always known that I'm not interested in the position of the successor of the sect master."
"I know." Ji Jin sighed softly. "That's why I've been looking for another candidate all these years. As for Lin Feng …"
"He's very suitable in all aspects." Ji Jin's eyes shone slightly.
※ ※ ※
The annual celebration was in full swing.
Li Yan Sect was filled with laughter and liveliness.
Lin Feng and the others walked together happily and harmoniously, no distinction between them. They were all newcomers who had entered Fierce Yan School in the same year, so they were fated to meet each other. Bai Yi, in particular, had met each other in the Tian Wu Sorcerer Tribe's clan before meeting in Fierce Yan School. It was indeed a coincidence.
"It's about time." Bai Yi looked at Lin Feng and smiled. "Let's go back and rest."
"Okay." Shui Linglong replied. "There's still two hours. Let's recharge and prepare for the advancement battle in the afternoon."
"I won't be able to pass anyway." Young Master Hua spread his hands and said casually, "Lin Feng should be the one who doesn't need to prepare the least. It's a piece of cake for him to challenge an ordinary outer sect disciple. Even if he challenges an ordinary inner sect disciple, I think Lin Feng will definitely win."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and did not say anything.
If he were to be humble, it would seem too hypocritical.
However …
There were many things that he had already planned.
…
All sorts of annual celebrations were held, and the atmosphere was lively.
However, to the crowd, they had already tasted the freshness and felt the festive atmosphere.
Lin Feng was the same.
"The promotion battle."
"I will do my best!"
Lin Feng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the Sea Spear Rock. His expression was extremely focused. He regulated his breathing and stabilized his body with cultivation. To him, this afternoon's battle was absolutely not to be lost! As for his opponent in the afternoon, he already had a plan in mind.
It was time for a battle!
…
Time flew.
The annual celebrations ended one after another. Soon —
Noon passed.
After the martial artists rested for a while, they all began to prepare for battle. For most of the martial artists, the event in the afternoon was the real key to Fierce Goose School's annual celebration.
The promotion battle!
Regardless of whether it was an outer disciple or an inner disciple, if they wanted to be promoted, they would only have the opportunity to do so during the annual celebration. Of course, there were also all kinds of activities that could only be encountered by chance. For example, if one's contribution to the sect reached an astonishing value, they would also be qualified to be promoted. However, that was only a small group of people.
For ordinary Fierce Goose School disciples, they had to participate in the promotion battle!
The rules of the promotion battle were very simple. As long as one defeated a disciple whose status was one level higher than oneself, one would be promoted.
For example, Lin Feng was an outer disciple candidate. If he wanted to be promoted to an ordinary outer disciple, he would have to defeat an ordinary outer disciple.
For example, Shui Linglong was an ordinary inner disciple. If she wanted to be promoted to an elementary inner disciple, she would have to defeat an elementary inner disciple.
Of course, the opponents were decided by drawing lots.
It was not randomly chosen.
Unless …
The chosen martial artist's status was higher than three levels!
…
Under the leadership of the respective sect masters, each district carried out the promotion battle in an orderly manner.
There were ten thousand battles going on at the same time. It was extremely fast. In fact, most battles would end in the blink of an eye. From the weakest to the strongest, starting from the end of the serial number, the outer disciples were tested. As for the inner disciples, they were tested under the leadership of the Ten Great Guardians.
This time, Lin Feng was much lonelier.
Because Shui Linglong, Bai Yi, and the others were all inner disciples.
However, it did not matter.
As he waited and cultivated, time passed very quickly.
"Good condition."
"I can definitely unleash my combat strength perfectly!"
Lin Feng smiled faintly and slowly opened his eyes.
He sensed two familiar auras entering the room.
Ji Xia and Qianqian.
"How is it?" Lin Feng smiled and asked.
"This is the third year. I finally passed." Ji Xia was in a very good mood.
"Lin Da Ge, Qianqian passed too!" Qin Qianqian smiled happily. Her eyes were like crescent moons. Her smile was very beautiful.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. This was not unexpected.
Especially Qianqian. The little girl improved very quickly. She was like a different person compared to half a year ago.
"Let's go. It's my turn," Lin Feng said.
…
In the central area of District 9.
It was already very lively on normal days. Today, it was even more crowded.
The further the promotion battle went, the more people there would be. The strength of the promotion martial artists would also be stronger. Especially those mysterious experts from the Hundred Territories. Many of them would appear. All the martial artists from District 9 gathered together. They all wanted to see the strength of those experts with their own eyes.
"Here you are, Lin Feng." Bai Yi smiled.
"Wow, Senior Brother Ji is here too." Young Master Hua was shocked. When he saw Qin Qianqian beside Lin Feng, his eyes lit up. "Senior Sister Qianqian?"
Everyone was surprised. They had heard that Lin Feng and Qin Qianqian, one of the top ten beauties of Fierce Yan Sect, were very intimate. Now, they finally saw it with their own eyes. Everyone's eyes flashed with envy. Only Shui Linglong looked a little unnatural.
Ji Xia and Qin Qianqian were not arrogant people. Soon, they got along well with everyone.
"Hey, I finally entered the top 100." Meng Huo's eyes were bright as he stared at the arena not far away.
"It's your turn soon, Lin Feng." Bai Yi smiled and said, "How's your condition?"
"Not bad." Lin Feng smiled.
After cultivating on the Pyrite Rock for an afternoon, he was now —
Perfect condition!
…
"Number 12, Lin Feng." A loud voice sounded.
It seemed to be a thousand miles away, but also seemed to be beside his ear. Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Just by the control of the voice, he knew that it was an expert.
The Ninth District Sect Master, He Fan.
An independent expert who didn't listen to anyone.
"Come on, Lin Feng!"
"Don't lose."
"Hey, let's watch your performance!"
Everyone cheered for Lin Feng. Qin Qianqian blushed and gently shook Lin Feng's hand. Instantly, there were wolf cries around. In the Ninth District Outer Sect, Lin Feng's reputation was quite loud. Whether it was the number 12 expert of the Hundred Territories or the strongest newcomer, his name was like thunder to everyone's ears.
In the past month, Lin Feng was in the limelight. No one could surpass him.
"Don't worry." Lin Feng smiled indifferently.
A sparkling light flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, he whistled.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng landed on an empty giant battle stage. At this time, most of the surrounding area was empty.
The promotion battle had already come to an end.
"Lin Feng, do you want to draw lots or …" He Fan's eyes flickered as he sized up Lin Feng with interest.
"Challenge." Lin Feng answered without hesitation.
Looking straight at He Fan, Lin Feng's expression was calm, without any fluctuation.
He already had a plan in his heart.
There were exclamations around, and the ordinary outer sect disciples immediately let out a long sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lin Feng would draw lots, although the probability was extremely low. But now that Lin Feng had chosen to challenge, it couldn't be better.
A challenge that surpassed the rank of three!
To other martial artists, this was absolutely an unbelievable thing.
But Lin Feng, the surrounding warriors didn't feel anything wrong.
Because he had enough strength.
"To actually make Lin Feng point out a challenge, I wonder which unlucky person it is?"
"I guess it should be someone who offended Lin Feng. Heh, now he wants him to go on stage and make a fool of himself. This challenge isn't a joke, if he loses, he will drop three ranks."
"Wow, the price is so high?"
The crowd whispered to each other, guessing who Lin Feng wanted to challenge.
The scene was extremely lively, because of Lin Feng's appearance and the rare challenge of three ranks higher, the atmosphere of the promotion battle was raised to the climax.
"Is that so?" He Fan smiled indifferently, "Who do you want to challenge?"
He Fan's words undoubtedly asked the question in everyone's heart, and in an instant, the surrounding people all quieted down.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng's eyes shone, "Han Lu's disciple, Inner Sect disciple, Bian Ruyu."
There was complete silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one thought that Lin Feng's opponent would actually be Bian Ruyu.
Hua! In an instant, it was as if a thunderclap had exploded. Everyone was discussing animatedly, and the sound of gasping could be heard continuously.
"Bian Ruyu?" Ji Xia's mouth twitched slightly.
"Who is that?" Qin Qianqian was surprised, but he didn't recognize her.
"Protector Han's 13th disciple, Star Sea State level 9, extremely powerful," Bai Yi said seriously.
Everyone's expression became solemn.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Feng's opponent would be so unexpected.
"Sigh, Brother Lin, Brother Lin is too impulsive this time." Ji Xia sighed lightly. He was very clear about the hatred between Lin Feng and Han Lu. It was no secret that Bian Ruyu sent someone to assassinate Lin Feng. However, in his opinion, Lin Feng was indeed too impulsive to challenge Bian Ruyu like this.
"Lin Da Ge's strength isn't as strong as that Ruyu?" Qin Qianqian asked curiously.
"Bian Ruyu has been famous for a long time," Ji Xia said seriously, "She's cunning and sly, and her strength … is much stronger than Lei Ba."
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a trace of worry in their eyes.
"I believe in Brother Lin, Brother Brother Lin." Bai Yi nodded and said.
"I believe in him too," Shui Linglong said slowly.
"Yes, Lin Da Ge will never do something he's not confident in," Qin Qianqian pursed her lips and said firmly.
Looking at Lin Feng on the stage, Ji Xia's eyes flickered with a strange light. Looking at the broad back of Lin Feng, standing straight as a ramrod, as if full of confidence, Ji Xia's heart was inexplicably affected.
Since he's challenging, he must win, Lin Feng! Ji Xia thought to himself.
