Lin Feng spoke, “For a man to live in this world, he should settle debts of gratitude and revenge as soon as possible. Since I already had a grudge with Bai Yifei, he wouldn’t have spared me for sure. Since that is the case, why is there a need for me to show mercy? I might as well kill him quickly to resolve this thorn in my heart. As for Song Canghai and the others of the Bai Clan, they can come at me if they want to do so. At that time, it is still unknown who would be the one kneeling on the ground.”

Upon seeing Lin Feng who was filled with confidence, Jiang Yanghe was extremely shocked in his heart.

(“A dragon leaving a shallow pool, this child would surely be extraordinary in the future.”)

The inner court of the Jialan Academy, this place was surrounded by a continuous chain of mountain peaks. It was located deep within a mountain range.

The Long River Branch Court was within a forest on a verdant mountain with enchanting scenery. Some of the palaces and buildings were constructed on the peak. They were towering and majestic, exuding an extraordinary aura like the palaces of immortals.

The next day, Lin Feng arrived at the Long River Branch Court.

“You must be junior brother Lin Feng, right?”

At the foot of the mountain, a beautiful female student displayed a sweet smile upon seeing Lin Feng.

This female student was about fifteen to sixteen years of age, similar to Lin Feng. However, her beauty was already beginning to blossom. She had an air of elegance.

“I’m Lin Feng. I wonder how I should address senior apprentice sister?” Lin Feng clasped his fists.

“Hehe, my name is Gongyang Xiaoxian. You can address me as elder sister Xian`er. That young girl smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples.

Lin Feng stared at Gongyang Xiaoxian who was one-head shorter than him. He truly couldn’t bring himself to call out the words ‘elder sister Xian`er’. He then continued, “I think you seem to be even younger than me. We are peers of the same age, so I will call you Xiaoxian instead.”

Gongyang Xiaoxian pouted, she stretched her hand out and pinched Lin Feng’s cheek. “Are you looking for a beating? How dare you be so rude to your senior apprentice sister?”

Lin Feng had a helpless and bitter smile on his face. “Alright then, elder sis Xian`er. Quickly let go of me, there are a lot of people watching.”

Gongyang Xiaoxian glanced at the surroundings and couldn’t help but put her tongue out. After releasing Lin Feng, she spoke, “Follow me, I’ll bring you to the old man.”

“Old man? Who is that?” Lin Feng asked in a tone of puzzlement.

“You will know later.” Gongyang Xiaoxian laughed.

This Gongyang Xiaoxian brimmed with vitality and youth. After chatting with her for a while, Lin Feng felt that even his mood was influenced by her and he also became more cheerful.

Gongyang Xiaoxian brought Lin Feng to the outside of a palace located in the mountain waist.

“Old man, I brought Lin Feng here.”

“Lass, how can you be so rude and speak to grandpa like this?” A voice rang out from within the palace, sounding like it didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Gongyang Xiaoxian stuck her tongue out again and laughed. “I’ve already brought over the person you want. I’ve something on, so I’ll go off first.”

After speaking, she simply left, vanishing like a puff of smoke.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. Now, he sensed that the lass Gongyang Xiaoxian might even be younger than him. Her personality was too lively and bubbly.

“Lin Feng, you may enter.”

The same voice rang out from within the palace again.

Lin Feng then walked in.

The palace was extremely spacious. The moment he entered, he saw an old man seated cross-legged in the center. This old man was none other than the vice headmasters of the Long River Branch Court, Gongyang Ming.

“Vice headmaster, sir.” Lin Feng bowed.

“There’s no need to be so courteous. You can act more casually. Come, take a seat beside me.” Gongyang Ming laughed and appeared extremely amicable.

Lin Feng then sat down beside Gongyang Ming.

“I already know about the matter between you and Bai Yifei. Also, I’ve warned the people of the Bai Clan not to play any tricks and be more honest. They agreed on the surface, but they might try something in the dark. However, you don’t need to worry. I believe that the elders of the Bai Clan wouldn’t dare to personally act against you,” said Gongyang Ming.

“Many thanks, sir.” Lin Feng spoke with gratitude. As long as those old fellows of the Bai Clan didn’t act, Lin Feng knew that the threat he would face would be greatly reduced.

“Haha. You are a student this old man has high expectations of. This is a bottle of Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills. There’s a total of 10 pills within and they are concocted from 1000 years old spiritual herbs. After consuming them, they would prove to be of great benefit to your cultivation. Take it.”

Gongyang Ming passed a pill bottle to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was shocked. He heard of the Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills before. These pills were extremely rare and had a high price tag but no supply. The price of a single pill had elevated to 50,200 taels of silver and they definitely weren’t something a descendant of a small clan like Lin Feng could afford to buy.

Right now, Gongyang Ming actually gave him 10 pills.

Lin Feng accepted the pills. He then spoke solemnly, “This disciple will definitely cultivate assiduously. I will not let the hopes of vice headmaster down.”

“The martial path is filled with immense difficulties. I believe that you will surely have extraordinary achievements in the future and would bring glory to our Long River Branch Court. I’ll arrange your lodging for you. You can head over to the Skills Pavilion to choose a martial skill. In the pavilion, there’s a total of 12 types of low-grade mystic-tier martial skill and one mid-grade mystic-tier martial skill. I suggest that you choose one of the 12 types of low-grade mystic-tier martial skills and solidify your foundation first for now.

“Yes. This disciple will remember it,” Lin Feng spoke.

“Qichu, come in!” Gongyang Ming called.

A disciple with a skinny figure walked in.

“Qichu, this is your junior apprentice brother Lin Feng. In the future, he will stay together with you. You must take good care of him.”

“Yes, sir.”

Lin Feng then bid farewell to Gongyang Ming and departed together with Zhang Qichu. Zhang Qichu might be skinny, but he has exquisite-looking features.

Zhang Qichu then spoke, “Junior brother, I’ve long since heard of your name. During the competition, you slew Bai Yifei. That’s truly an impressive feat that’s to the satisfaction of everyone. However, there’s a senior of the Bai Clan who is an elder in the Purple Light Branch Court. His status is high and he wields immense authority. The Bai Clan has great influence in the academy. You have to be very careful.”

“Senior brother, don’t worry. I’ll be more cautious.” Lin Feng nodded.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they traveled. After some time, they finally arrived at their lodging area.

“Junior brother, I’m staying just beside you. You can look for me if you have any questions. During these few days, I’ll bring you around to get you familiarized with the environment of our Long River Branch Court.”

“Right. Many thanks, senior apprentice brother.”

“We are all brothers, there’s no need to be polite. Junior brother, this is your first time here. You should rest for a day first. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Zhang Qichu then departed.

“Ten Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills. I wonder if they are enough to allow me to break through?”

Lin Feng was filled with anticipation.

He then swallowed the pills and circulated the ‘Immemorial Dragon Elephant Art’ to refine the medicinal potency of the Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills.

Over twenty hours passed.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura radiated from Lin Feng. However, it was retracted a moment later.

“Seventh level of the Martial Student Realm. I’ve finally broken through…”

Lin Feng punched out like a thunderbolt. And when he exhaled, the breath of qi he had breathed out resembled a sword.

Clearly, these signs were indicators that someone’s strength had reached the 10,000 jin mark.

…..

The Skills Pavilion was a very important place in the academy. Zhang Qichu brought Lin Feng over there the next morning.

“Now, I cannot enter the Skills Pavilion. Only you can enter. I will wait for you outside.” Zhang Qichu spoke.

“Sure.” Lin Feng nodded his head.

He then entered the Skills Pavilion.

“Someone has come, someone has come!”

When Lin Feng stepped in, a shrill voice instantly called out.

He glanced in the direction of the voice and a moment later, Lin Feng suffered a huge shock. The voice originated from a giant bird that was about three meters tall. This bird was actually capable of speech.

“Ah, a demon!” Lin Feng called out.
