Chapter 750: Test
The old man brought the cultivators to a gigantic snowy area. In front of them were simple huts, they weren’t as beautiful as palaces Lin Feng had seen.
In the middle of those huts was a single hut which seemed larger than the rest. It seemed like there were people practicing cultivation inside, as if those cultivators were studying something.
In front of all those relatively young cultivators, there was a praying mat on which a cultivator was sitting. That middle-aged man was muttering some incantations and the young cultivators were listening.
The old man brought the eight cultivators not far from that hut and said, “Sit down and have a rest.”
The cultivators sat down. The old man was monstrously strong and had a high social status, but it seemed that in this place, there was somebody with an even higher social status than his own.
After a short moment, the one on the praying mat opened his eyes and looked at the eight cultivators, his eyes were twinkling. It seemed like an ice-cold energy was emerging from his eyes and it cold enough to freeze them to death.
Lin Feng immediately moved in front of Tang You You to block that ice-cold energy. Tang You You was still injured and couldn’t use pure Qi. She couldn’t protect herself from external dangers so he had to protect her.
The ice-cold Qi reached them and then the seven cultivators were surrounded by a white snow layer. They were half frozen.
A terrifying fire appeared and crackled in the atmosphere. Those who had snow on their bodies saw it disappear, others used different methods to make the ice melt.
They were able to see again once the snow melted. They saw the man was walking towards them.
“Hunter, you understand me right?” said the old man while looking at the one who had just come out. The middle-aged man slightly nodded, glanced at the eight cultivators and said, “Apart from Xue Er, let’s look at those seven people.”
“Let’s start with you.” said the middle-aged man while pointing at Bai Li Xi who immediately stood up, bowed in front of the middle-aged man, and said, “Mister, tell me what I have to do.”
“Use your full strength to attack me.” said the middle-aged man, surprising Bai Li Xi. But he immediately nodded, with just his strength, he couldn’t do anything to the middle-aged man anyways. It was just a test to see how strong he really was. Then they would understand his weaknesses.
That was a great opportunity, they all had to seize it.
Bai Li Xi moved forwards and said, “I don’t want to offend you, mister.”
“Use your full strength or you will regret it.” said the middle-aged man. Bai Li Xi remained silent and nodded. The middle-aged man had broken through to the Tian Qi layer and could make them suffer without moving a single finger. He looked extremely strong.
“Alright.” said Bai Li Xi while taking out the sword he had from his back. It was a snowy-white sword which looked ice-cold. Bai Li Xi knew how to use sword and snow intents, and he had broken through to the ninth Xuan Qi layer. He was extremely strong.
He moved and suddenly his sword released some terrifying energy, even more snowflakes invaded the atmosphere. Ice was creeping up his sword.
“Double intent, snow and sword!” said Bai Li Xi while moving forwards. His sword was like snow, it was twinkling and looked extremely sharp, yet soft and agile like snow. The lights diffused by the sword seemed like they were going to make everyone freeze.
“Level two sword intent and level three snow intent, not bad.” said the middle-aged man. The infinity of snow then condensed and shot out with Bai Li Xi’s sword, making it freeze. When the sword fell on the middle-aged man, it was already halfway frozen in mid-air. It couldn’t go any further.
“How strong…” thought the others. As expected, cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer couldn’t rival with cultivators of the Tian Qi layer, including in terms of intent.
“Xue Li Jian is the same type of cultivator as him, he also possesses snow and sword intent. He would be a better teacher for him than myself.” said the middle-aged man to the old man. The old man nodded and remained silent. Xue Li Jian was a cultivator of the third Tian Qi layer, that was enough. He would be a good teacher for Bai Li Xi.
As expected, that small test had the purpose of choosing some appropriate teachers for them. It seemed very important to have an appropriate teacher.
“Go back.” said the middle-aged man to Bai Li Xi. Then, he asked Han Qiu Yu to come.
Han Qiu Yu was ready as they jumped forwards.
“Same, use your full strength.”
“Alright.” said Han Qiu Yu while nodding. His spirit appeared from his back, it was an ancient book. Lin Feng was stupefied, a book spirit… It was like his celestial book spirit… However, it wasn’t as beautiful as Lin Feng’s celestial book spirit…
Lin Feng hadn’t used his celestial book spirit for a long time, maybe a new page would appear after breaking through to the Tian Qi layer.
“Book!” said Han Qiu Yu. His book moved and arrived in front of him, in suspension in the air.
“My book has a sword!” said Han Qiu Yu in a low voice. A sword appeared in the air.
“My book has a soul!” A light then penetrated into the sword, it seemed like it had its own soul and was emitting buzzing sounds.
“My book has intent!” said Han Qiu Yu and then some monstrously powerful intent penetrated into his sword and emitted whistling sounds.
“My book has a skill!” said Han Qiu Yu, he looked exhausted. His sword started swallowing some sharp lights which seemed like they could lacerate the entire atmosphere. That sword started spinning rapidly, it looked like a skill.
“My book contains the ten thousand things of creation! Upon promulgation, this rule shall be strictly enforced!” said Han Qiu Yu solemnly. His sword then turned into a beam of light and moved away from the book. In a flash, it disappeared and lacerated the sky. It was astonis.h.i.+ng.
“Huh?” The middle-aged man was stupefied and pleasantly surprised. He raised his hand and in a flash some snow froze the sword. However, the sword broke the snow and continued moving towards him.
“Condense!” shouted the middle-aged man loudly. Some snow and ice started rolling in the atmosphere, but the sword continued moving towards him and pierced through the rolling ice and snow. The middle-aged man raised his head and only then did the sword stop while emitting buzzing sounds. Then it disappeared.
“How strong!” said the middle-aged man pleasantly surprised. He then continued, “Zuan Chun will be interested in that boy, he also likes researching incredible magic powers.
“Zuan Chun…!” The old man was stupefied. Zuan Chun was a cultivator of the sixth Tian Qi layer, he had white hair and was extremely strange. He was way more powerful than Xue Li Jian and surprisingly, the middle-aged man wanted him to become Han Qiu Yu’s teacher. He must have considered him to possess extremely high potential.
But Han Qiu Yu was really extremely strong.
Then, it was Bi Luo and Huang Quan’s turn. He chose a cultivator of the second Tian Qi layer and another one of the third Tian Qi layer for them. They were far from being as strong as the teacher chosen for Han Qiu Yu.
After that, it was Huang Fu Long’s turn.
Huang Fu Long came out and looked terribly excited, he was excited about fighting against a cultivator of the Tian Qi layer.
“You know the rule now.”
“You have to be careful, I’m afraid to hurt you. I have never used my snow dragon fist against someone before.” said Huang Fu Long. That guy… He was crazy!
Lin Feng was speechless, he knew that Huang Fu Long was insane. He had been bragging about the fact that Tian Chi Xue was his wife for a while, Lin Feng had never considered him as a sane human being.
“If you manage to hurt me, it means that I am less strong than you.” said the middle-aged man, he didn’t mind the remark. He knew what it was like to be young and hot-blooded.
“Alright.” said Huang Fu Long while breathing in deeply. In a flash, a terrifying amount of snow rose from the ground, then ma.s.sive amounts of snowflakes moved in the sky. All that snow moved into his mouth and he swallowed it all. It seemed like the Earth and sky had changed, a gigantic snow dragon was rising.
“What a terrifying power.” thought the others surprised. They were all excited to see what Huang Fu Long would be able to do. He had been bragging all the time, he had even fought in front of them, but he had remained relaxed the whole time. He had only used a small part of his strength. Could it be that he really possessed terrifying magical powers?
Everybody was impatient to see what he was able to do.
Chapter 751: Battling Against a Cultivator of the Tian Qi layer
Huang Fu Long opened his mouth as snowflakes started dancing in the air. A vortex appeared and penetrated into his body. A short moment after, Huang Fu Long’s body turned into a dragon.
“Huang Fu Long… A dragon illusion!” The other’s pupils shrank, how strong! It seemed like they had underestimated that insane young man. Even though he wasn’t mentally sane, he was still very strong, natural, free and unrestrained. Plus, he really wanted to get married with Tian Chi Xue.
The dragon illusion on his body entirely covered his real body with snow. Gradually, the dragon Qi moved away from his body, the Qi was ice-cold.
That dragon was a brutal and violent snow dragon.
“Snow Dragon Fist!”
“Roaaaarrrr!” Huang Fu Long jumped forwards and a terrifying, brutal force emerged. There was the snow dragon emerging from his fist chanting the song of the dragons.
The snow dragon bared its fangs and showed claws while throwing itself at the middle-aged man. Its violent and brutal Qi seemed like it was going to crush him.
“Stop!” shouted the hunter while raising his hand. Suddenly the atmosphere was filled with snowflakes which bombarded the violent snow dragon.
“Roaaaarrrr!” The snow dragon broke through the snow and continued moving towards the hunter.
“Alright!” The hunter lowered his head and released a terrifying snow energy which surrounded Huang Fu Long’s body and froze him. Then the snow dragon weakened a little.
“Destroy!” said the hunter. The snow dragon faded, melted and disappeared without leaving a trace.
“Not bad. I was almost send flying backwards.” said the middle-aged man while nodding. His eyes were twinkling, he looked pensive. He was thinking of a teacher for Huang Fu Long. That guy’s Qi was extremely brutal and violent, where did it come from?
“Mister, can I practice cultivation with my future wife?” asked Huang Fu Long while scratching his head. He looked terribly stupid and didn’t possess that brutal and violent energy from before.
“Your future wife?” The middle-aged man was confused.
“Cough cough!” Tian Chi Xue coughed and her face became rigid, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d…
“Indeed, it’s Tian Chi Xue, she is my future wife. I want to practice cultivation with her.” said Huang Fu Long while giggling and smiling. Tian Chi Xue’s blood was boiling, she was staring at him coldly. She hated him deeply.
“Haha, alright, if you want to you can practice with little Xue.” said the middle-aged man while smiling in a radiant way. He found Huang Fu Long amusing. Since when was Tian Chi Xue going to become his future wife? How come they, people of Tian Chi, didn’t know?
Huang Fu Long was terribly amusing. He was a merry and joyful guy. Whether he would be able to marry Tian Chi Xue or not was his own problem.
“Thank you Mister.” said Huang Fu Long sounding extremely excited. He then turned around and looked at Tian Chi Xue, she felt like she was going to faint.
The hunter looked back at Lin Feng and Tang You You who was leaning against him and said, “It seems like she cannot sit the exam.”
“Indeed, let her practice with me.” said Lin Feng.
“No problem, come here.” said the middle-aged man while nodding. Lin Feng seemed ice-cold, he seemed so much colder than the others. He seemed like he was a stranger to everyone else.
He was wondering how strong Lin Feng was now.
Lin Feng stood up and slowly walked towards the middle-aged man. His steps were light but seemed heavy which made the middle-aged man frown. Lin Feng’s temperament wasn’t like that of the others. He looked glum, hurt, and evil, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
“Just like the others, use your strongest attack to attack me.” said the hunter.
“Alright.” said Lin Feng while nodding. A metallic sword sound spread in the air as a blood Qi invaded the atmosphere. It was ice-cold and seemed like it wanted to slaughter anything in its way. It was his bloodthirsty sword twinkling and diffusing a red light in the atmosphere. It seemed like the Qi of weeping deceased people were in that sword. How many people had died by that sword?
This time, Lin Feng wanted to get one of the best teachers possible. Therefore, he decided to use this sword.
The Qi became oppressive in the air, his bloodthirsty sword was emitting whistling sounds, the Qi was becoming colder and colder. Lin Feng wasn’t considering this exam as a real exam, instead, he considered that battle as a battle to death. He wanted to kill his opponent.
That was the only way for him to really take things seriously and deploy his full strength. It had to come from the depths of his heart and soul.
The hunter frowned, he was realizing that he didn’t look like a hunter in front of Lin Feng, Lin Feng looked like a real hunter. He was firmly holding his sword and seemed like he was hunting some prey. His face was filled with murder. The hunter already had a good impression of Lin Feng at that moment. Unlike the others, Lin Feng was using his heart. He wasn’t taking this as an exam, instead, he was facing an enemy.
Those ice-cold pupils were making the hunter feel a bit uneasy though.
A terrifying sword Qi started spreading in the air and revolving at incredible speeds. The crowd looked anxious and were breathing heavily, some terrifying sword intent started rising up in the air.
“Level one, two…. Five sword intent.” The crowd was stupefied. Lin Feng’s sword intent was level five. What a terrifying sword.
A black fire then ignited on his sword, that fire was pitch-black, like death.
Lin Feng’s entire body turned into a sword, he was in fusion with his sword. His sword was Lin Feng, Lin Feng was a sword.
“Die!” finally, Lin Feng shouted. He released all of his sword Qi and used his nine days wind Qi agility technique. He immediately disappeared from his initial position and his sword, which was red like blood, moved towards the middle-aged man with incredible speeds.
The middle-aged man frowned, how fast! Lin Feng was using wind intent too!
“Snow!” shouted the middle-aged man furiously. Some rolling sounds spread in the air, snow condensed and blocked the way. However, that red sword continued moving as it pierced through the snow. The black fire melted the snow instantly, the sword hadn’t been influenced at all.
The middle-aged man jumped back, it was the first time during the tests. Lin Feng’s sword was too fast.
“Stop!” A terrifying pure Qi appeared in the air, it was pure snow Qi. It was extremely cold as a layer of ice appeared around the red sword.
“Crrrrr….” Lin Feng’s sword was obliquely moving forwards, fire kept burning. The snow melted again, Lin Feng inclined his body sideways and moved like the wind. The red light diffused by the sword was dazzling.
Lin Feng wasn’t sitting an exam, he was fighting for real.
“Fire intent…” whispered the middle-aged man, he looked more and more surprised… The old man in the distance was smiling. He had already antic.i.p.ated that move. The hunter was just there for a test, he understood geniuses. He had seen many geniuses in Tian Chi and had taught many of them too. He was the most qualified to choose the most appropriate teachers for those geniuses…
Even though he wasn’t very strong, he looked ferocious. He had always protected Tian Chi and worked for the empire. He had seen a myriad of geniuses and all those he had seen today satisfied him.
“Interesting.” The middle-aged man raised his hand and released some snow intent. A terrifying snow Qi moved towards the sword and Lin Feng. The bloodthirsty sword was covered by ice, as well as Lin Feng’s hand.
“Go back!” A heavy physical strength moved towards Lin Feng’s bloodthirsty sword and the middle-aged man smiled.
“Break!” Lin Feng made the strength of the Heruka rotate in his body and the ice broke.
“Die!” shouted Lin Feng furiously. He looked extremely violent as his face was filled with murderous intentions. His bloodthirsty sword diffused dazzling red lights again, he really seemed like he wanted to kill the middle-aged man.
“Huh?” The middle-aged man was stunned. He fused together with the snow and moved back. Lin Feng’s sword was now descending from the sky.
“Rising Wind!” Lin Feng moved like an illusion and released some terrifying killer Qi.
The middle-aged man’s eyes were twinkling with sharp lights. Ice and frost appeared from his hand and abruptly condensed, then the sword crashed onto his hand.
“Let go off it!” shouted the middle-aged furiously as some snow immediately froze Lin Feng’s hand and sword. It seemed like Lin Feng was going to drop his sword.
However, he didn’t let go of his sword. His sword started rotating as he released some terrifying fire intent which made a layer of snow and ice melt.
“Die!” shouted Lin Feng furiously. A terrifying red light emerged from the sword and arrived in front of the hunter’s body.
The hunter’s pupils shrank as he backed away, he definitely wanted to dodge that attack.
“Go!” the middle-aged man released his full strength, forcing Lin Feng’s body violently backwards. The middle-aged man’s hand danced with the snowflakes in the air. A black hair was in his hand.
The middle-aged man looked at the black hair in his hand, raised his head, and looked back at Lin Feng who was still holding his sword. Lin Feng was a sword cultivator, if Line Feng was there his sword was there.
A magnificent smile appeared on his face when he faced that young man. Lin Feng was a real cultivator, he wanted to become a monstrously strong cultivator, a cultivation G.o.d.
