The whole place was silent.
The big square where all the disciples of the Fierce Yan School were gathered was silent.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
Including Han Lu, Sima Ji, and the other guardians, Master Bai, Lei Ba, Ji Xia, and the other inner disciples, and all the newcomers of the ninth district, they were all stunned. Even Lin Feng himself suspected that he had heard wrongly. He never would have thought that he would suddenly become the third in line to inherit the position of Sect Leader.
It was completely unexpected!
However, Ji Jin's eyes shone brightly like the stars in the night.
His expression and his firm tone told everyone that he was not joking.
That pair of crystal-clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. She instantly found Lin Feng in the vast crowd and attacked him with a cold light.
Instantly —
Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone turned their heads around.
Everyone's eyes were gathered on Lin Feng, including Ji Xia, Qin Qianqian, and Bai Yi. Their eyes were filled with envy and surprise. Lin Feng was like the son of God who was chosen, shining brightly.
He was the lucky one.
"Come up?" Ji Jin smiled.
He did not mention any names, but everyone knew that Ji Jin was talking to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes shone. He nodded and jumped up.
No matter how things developed, he had no way out.
This man in white, whom he had never met, gave him a warm feeling, as if he was an amiable relative. Moreover, with his identity and status, he had announced that he was his disciple in front of everyone. No matter what, at least now he could not go against his wishes.
Because he was the Sect Master.
Thud! Lin Feng landed on the big stage in an instant.
In an instant, a clamor arose from below. Everyone was whispering and discussing incessantly.
However, Lin Feng seemed to turn a deaf ear. His expression did not change at all. He was not excited about being chosen. It was as if …
As if nothing had happened.
He was too calm.
"Greetings, Sect Master." Lin Feng cupped his hands.
Ji Jin nodded and smiled. "Are you surprised?"
"A little." Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"Actually, I've known since the first day you arrived." Ji Jin's eyes flickered and his voice pierced Lin Feng's ears like needles. "I've been observing you for three whole months, including what happened to you in Green Smoke City. I've investigated everything."
Ji Jin's words gave Lin Feng a fright. He hadn't expected that in these three months …
There was actually a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions." Ji Jin chuckled. "I'm just trying to get to know you better. You don't mind, right?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly. What was the use of saying that he minded?
However, Ji Jin truly didn't have any ill intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much to him.
But …
This matter was indeed a little too sudden.
"Alright." Ji Jin patted Lin Feng's shoulder lightly. "Go back. When the annual celebration is over, come find me at Li Yan Treasure Hall tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Sect Master." Lin Feng bowed his head slightly.
Although he didn't know the reason, now wasn't the time to talk.
No matter what, he would talk about it tomorrow.
…
"Alright." Ji Jin clapped his hands.
As Lin Feng left, a faint smile bloomed on Ji Jin's face. He said loudly, "The news has been announced. I won't obstruct the event from now on."
"First Elder, you can start first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Jin left in a graceful manner, fully displaying his scholarly bearing.
Lin Feng's sparkling eyes glanced at the crowd. His eyes shone slightly, but he could feel Ji Jin's smile.
It seemed to be saying …
I'll wait for you.
"That's great, Lin Da Ge!!" Qin Qianqian was so happy that her face was flushed red. She held Lin Feng's hand tightly.
"Congratulations, Brother Lin." Ji Xia smiled, but his smile seemed a little unnatural.
It was as if the Lin Feng in front of him had suddenly changed identities, causing him to be at a loss. At this moment, a pair of arms patted his shoulders. Ji Xia was surprised. Lin Feng smiled indifferently. "I'm still me. There's no difference."
Ji Xia smiled and nodded.
Indeed, from the moment he met Lin Feng, he knew that he was not a person who cared about fame and fortune.
Instead, he was a pure martial artist who pursued power!
"Wow, the third successor to the Sect Leader!" Meng Huo's eyes widened.
"You must be envious." Young Master Hua waved his feather fan and smiled. "Lin Feng is the real deal. That's why he's chosen."
Bai Yi nodded. "The Sect Leader is extremely strict when it comes to accepting disciples. After several investigations, he confirmed that Brother Lin really has the qualifications and potential. That's why he made this decision in public." After pausing for a moment, Bai Yi looked around and said seriously, "Moreover, you all don't seem to have noticed a detail."
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim softly. Even Lin Feng was curious.
Detail?
Bai Yi's voice sounded, "The Sect Leader announced it in public, and Lin Feng directly skipped the candidate disciple and became an official disciple."
As soon as he said that, everyone gasped.
…
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is going on!"
Han Lu was so angry that his nose was spewing fire, and he fell into a hysterical state.
Ji Jin's appearance and announcement that he had accepted Lin Feng as his disciple was undoubtedly a slap to his face in public, causing his mouth to be filled with blood.
The others didn't know, but Han Lu understood.
Ji Jin's actions had sent a signal —
Lin Feng was his man!
And most importantly …
"He's actually an official disciple."
"He's the third successor to the Sect Leader position!"
Han Lu felt his head go blank, as if blood was rushing to his head, and he flew into a rage.
Ji Jin didn't play by the rules at all. He directly skipped the candidate disciple stage, which had never happened before.
Regardless of whether it was the eldest disciple, Ji Rushan, or the second disciple, Zhu Ling, they were all nurtured step by step from the candidate disciple stage and stood out. Only then did they officially become the successor to the Sect Leader position. However, Lin Feng … had only been in the sect for three months, and he had already made a great leap. It was completely illogical!
"No, I have to think of a way!" Han Lu's expression was ferocious.
He couldn't take this lying down. If he allowed Lin Feng to take the position so openly, he, Han Lu —
How could he save his face!
…
The Sect Leader accepting a disciple was too shocking.
It directly caused the feeling of the disciple recruitment event to plummet.
Originally, it was the most exciting event, but because of Lin Feng's sudden rise, all the light was overshadowed. However, there was a natural fragrance, and all the talented cultivators were selected. This year's Genius Selection Competition was even more eye-catching.
Shui Linglong was selected by the Third Elder and became Lei Ba's senior and junior sister.
As for Bai Yi, he was selected by the Fifth Elder. He was considered lucky.
Among the rookies, the duo's strength and potential were obvious to all.
Young Master Hua and Meng Huo's luck weren't as good. After the Seven Elders finished selecting, it was the Ten Protectors' turn, but they still didn't have a chance. However, they were chosen by Sect Leader Bai in the end. They were considered lucky. At least compared to the Elders and Protectors, they had a higher chance of becoming an official disciple among the Sect Leader's disciples.
"Young Master Hua, Meng Huo, what do you plan to do?" Bai Yi asked.
Lin Feng's gaze was also light, and he was quite concerned. Both of them had good personalities, and he had long treated them as friends.
"That's it." Young Master Hua looked indifferent.
"Yes, the Sect Leader's disciple isn't bad either." Meng Huo chuckled.
"Indeed." Bai Yi nodded.
Since the two of them had decided, there was no need to force them.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and he agreed with their decision. It was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Although they could still choose to take the test and join the other Elders and Protectors as candidates, it wasn't easy to stand out and become an official disciple.
This was obvious just by looking at how many candidates there were under Han Lu.
It was extremely difficult to become an official disciple under the Elders and Protectors!
In comparison, it wasn't bad to have a Sect Leader who sincerely guided them in their cultivation.
No matter what, the Master led the way, but the cultivation depended on the person.
"Let's go. The celebration is over. Let's party?" Lin Feng said.
"That's great!" Qin Qianqian jumped up happily. She was undoubtedly the happiest.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, nodding in agreement.
All the activities of the celebration were over. What was left was to party to their heart's content, to go crazy, and spend this happy day!
At this moment, they put down all their burdens and responsibilities.
They were excited to their heart's content!
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
…
…
The annual celebration had come to an end.
All the disciples returned to reality and immersed themselves in the rhythm of their normal lives.
Especially the top 20 powerhouses of each age group in last year's ranking competition, or the disciples who had received a token from the sect, all of them were rubbing their hands and waiting for the right moment to strike. To them, the celebration was just a celebration. The Yanling Imperial Residence was their real goal.
Only those under 100 years old could enter.
The Yanling Imperial Residence had the beautiful title of 'Sacred Land' in the Yanling Imperial Residence.
Because it supported the entire Yanling Imperial Residence and nurtured countless elites and talents. All the martial artists under 100 years old in the Yanling Imperial Residence yearned for it.
Perhaps it was very dangerous, but compared to the benefits —
It was completely negligible!
…
"Three months."
"I have three months to prepare."
"When I enter the Yanling Imperial Residence, my strength will definitely be a level higher than now!"
Lin Feng's eyes were bright, and his expression was calm.
Right now, every day and every hour was extremely precious to him.
He had to seize every moment to cultivate and become stronger!
Constantly become stronger!
The stronger he was, the more points he would obtain when he entered the Yanling Imperial Residence. Entering the Great Flame Continent required 10 million points, and he needed to accumulate enough strength. Just like the 'rules' of the Dou Ling World, the stronger he was, the more points he would obtain!
The goal was right in front of him.
It was very clear to him, and it was within his reach.
"But before that, there's something I need to do first."
Lin Feng thought for a moment. He sped through the Fierce Yan Sect like a bright meteor, and his speed was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, he passed through the light wall between the inner and outer sect, and went straight to the center of the Fierce Yan Sect.
That was the most mysterious and most desirable place in the Fierce Yan Sect —
Fierce Yan Treasure Hall.
