Chapter 1 - Youth Lin Feng

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

At the back mountain of the Jialan Academy, an athletic figure swiftly moved about within the forest.

“From today onward, the fire poison in Yuexi’s body will be cleansed completely. She won’t have to suffer the agony of the fire poison devouring her body ever again!” When he thought of this, Lin Feng’s speed increased by 30%.

Not too long later, he arrived at the mountain peak.

“Elder brother Feng, you’ve come!” A sweet voice drifted out.

Lin Feng and Su Yuexi were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Their feelings for each other were extremely deep, and they were both considered geniuses who came from Greencloud Town, both joining the Jialan Academy in the same year for cultivation.

A year ago, Su Yuexi suffered from fire deviation when she was cultivating, resulting in the fire poison attacking her heart. This almost caused her to die. Although she managed to retain her life, she had to endure the pain and agony of the fire poison devouring her body every day.

The Skymartial Continent was the home for all cultivators, and each cultivator had their own martial soul. Lin Feng’s martial soul was considered an extremely rare type—a devouring martial soul.

This type of devouring martial soul allowed Lin Feng’s absorption speed—when it came to the energy of the heavens and earth—to far surpass the absorption speed of others. At the same time, the devouring martial soul also granted Lin Feng a type of ‘devouring ability’.

After Su Yuexi’s body had a problem, she beseeched Lin Feng to aid her in absorbing the fire poison out from her body.

Hence, on every full moon, Lin Feng would come here to help Su Yuexi expel the fire poison in her body.

Throughout this year, because he had been constantly absorbing the fire poison from Su Yuexi’s body, Lin Feng’s body was also ravaged by it. His cultivation base had also fallen from the sixth level of Martial Student Realm to the third level.

But for the sake of the woman he loved, Lin Feng felt no regrets.

…

“Yuexi, take a seat and rest well. Today, I will absorb the remaining fire poison in your body. When the deed is done, your body will begin to recover completely.” Lin Feng gazed at Su Yuexi tenderly.

“Many thanks, elder brother Feng for helping me.” A sweet and beautiful smile appeared on Su Yuexi’s exquisite face.

Lin Feng placed his palm on Su Yuexi’s stomach.

Within Su Yuexi’s body, a cluster of black flames appeared.

These black flames were none other than the fire poison that manifested when Su Yuexi suffered fire deviation during her cultivation. At this moment, the fire poison rapidly flowed toward Su Yuexi’s dantian.

And Lin Feng immediately relied on his devouring martial soul to start absorbing those black poisonous flames.

The fire poison was drawn from Su Yuexi’s body and entered his own, burning him. Lin Feng’s meridians were long since damaged due to his constant treatment of Su Yuexi.

However, Lin Feng kept on enduring the pain and torment. An hour later, the fire poison in Su Yuexi’s body was finally absorbed by Lin Feng completely.

“Many thanks.” Su Yueqi nodded lightly, but now her gaze had a trace of coldness when she stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng then spoke, “Why are you so polite toward me? Yuexi, it’s getting late, let us return to the academy first.”

“I still have something I need to do, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the academy with you,” replied Su Yuexi indifferently.

“It’s already so late, what do you need to do?” Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel puzzled as he asked.

“Haha, she naturally wants to be together with me.” At this very moment, a peal of brazen laughter suddenly rang out from the forest on this mountain.

After that, a young master clad in white walked over.

This white-robed young master was about seventeen to eighteen years of age; he was handsome and graceful. His name is ‘Bai Yifei’, a genius in the outer court.

“Bai Yifei, what are you doing here?” The moment he saw Bai Yifei, Lin Feng began to frown.

“Naturally, I was summoned here by Yuexi. Can’t you tell that the person Yuexi loves is me?” Bai Yifei had a face filled with satisfaction as he stared at Lin Feng.

“Impossible. Yuexi, what’s going on? Bai Yifei is lying, right?” Lin Feng opened his eyes wide and stared at Su Yuexi.

He has been giving his all for this relationship all this while for such a long period of time. In fact, he didn’t even care that his cultivation base was affected, he didn’t even care about the pain and torment as long as he could help her.

Could it be all the sacrifices he made were for him to exchange for this ending?

Lin Feng didn’t believe it but the truth before his eyes didn’t allow him to lie to himself.

“You are cheating on me?”

Su Yuexi calmly shot a glance at Lin Feng. “Cheating? Lin Feng, have you gone stupid? I have never treated you as my other half before, what do you mean by I’m cheating on you? The person I like is a genius like Elder Brother Yifei. As for you, now that your meridians are damaged by the fire poison you absorbed from my body, you basically have no more hope for cultivation. Next, I will definitely be able to pass the test for the inner court and you will become a trash. You best stop living in your fantasy, how would I ever fall for a toad like you?”

Upon hearing the ruthless words of Su Yuexi, Lin Feng instantly felt a blockage in his chest. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat but he forcefully swallowed the blood back in.

He mustn’t let this adulterous couple see him in such a state!

“Can you face me without guilt?” Lin Feng asked in sorrow.

“Brat, you deserve it. No one forced you to be her lap dog!” Bai Yifei cast a disdainful look at Lin Feng. After that, he glanced over to Su Yuexi and smiled. “Yuexi, let’s go.”

“Su Yuexi, you’ve harmed me so grievously. You are not allowed to leave!” Lin Feng grabbed out toward Su Yuexi.

“Brat, are you courting death!” A cold smile appeared on Bai Yifei’s face. He turned and shot out a palm strike at Lin Feng.

This Bai Yifei had a cultivation base at the sixth level of the Martial Student Realm, while Lin Feng currently was only at the third level. The disparity in strength was simply too great.

Lin Feng couldn’t contend against this palm strike.

With a loud boom, Bai Yifei’s palm slammed directly on Lin Feng’s dantian.

Lin Feng was sent flying through the air.

He slammed into the ground. His body was convulsing from the impact.

“My dantian. Bai Yifei, you actually crippled my dantian!” Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with terror. However, an instant later, the terror turned to hatred as he stared at Bai Yifei and Su Yuexi.

Su Yuexi furrowed her brows and spoke, “Lin Feng’s dantian is crippled. Things are troublesome now. Although his cultivation base had fallen and he had become trash, he is still a student of the Jialan Academy. If the academy knows about this, things would be extremely troublesome for us.”

Bai Yifei laughed malevolently. “In that case, let’s go all out and finish off this brat to settle all future troubles.”

Su Yuexi calmly nodded her head, not minding it at all. “Kill him then. In any case, such trash would only be wasting resources if they are alive in this world.”

Lin Feng gave a miserable laugh, he felt as though ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart. He was filled with endless pain and despair.

Bai Yifei walked over to Lin Feng and grabbed him up with a single hand. He coldly laughed. “Brat, who the hell do you think you are? You even dare to have designs on a woman this young master fancies? Truly courting death.”
