Chapter 74

Very soon, the group led by Blue Wolf left.

Lin Feng followed Lei Gang to the center of the S District Academy base. Looking around, the vast area of thousands of square meters was filled with the metallic feel of elemental technology, like a mechanical ocean, equipped with all kinds of testing equipment and ultra-alloy training rooms.

"Attack me," Lei Gang said.

Huh?

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback.

"With all your strength," Lei Gang stared at Lin Feng, like a battle knife drawn from its sheath.

In an instant, the fighting spirit in the base center surged.

"Alright!" Lin Feng did not hesitate, knowing very well that Brother Lei, the inspector, was probably testing his strength. *Clang!* The Azure Wolf War Saber was drawn, and Lin Feng gripped the hilt, faintly feeling the moisture in his palm, not out of fear or nervousness, but a kind of... excitement.

This was a rare and precious challenge and guidance.

"Qi Spirit!" Lin Feng activated the Boundless Qi Sea at will.

Unlike when he faced Huang Shang, this time he directly used the second level of the Boundless Qi Sea. Facing the nine-star adventurer before him, Lin Feng had no need to hide his strength. He knew very well that even if he unleashed all his power, he couldn't hurt Brother Lei in the slightest.

"Seven Spin Slash, second move." Lin Feng's steps were decisive and resolute.

"Swimming Fish Spin!"

The peak of the third realm burst forth, surpassing the blow that severely injured Huang Shang.

After all, this was a completely unrestrained attack, with no fear of accidentally killing the opponent, because... it was absolutely impossible.

"Blood Battle Decision." A blood shadow rose behind Lei Gang.

A red light flashed in his hand, and a saber appeared, its blade coagulated with blood, the entire saber a vivid red, like a flame burning. The power of the Blood Battle Decision endowed the saber with a blood-red aura, and the name "Blood Saber Lei Gang" came from this.

*Boom!* The sabers collided violently.

A strong vibration came from the saber, making Lin Feng's tiger's mouth tingle, almost losing his grip.

"Powerful." Lin Feng was inwardly alarmed; the strongest blow that defeated Huang Shang couldn't even break through Brother Lei's simplest defense.

Again!

Lin Feng was like a young calf unafraid of tigers.

Lei Gang's expression was calm, the blood saber held horizontally, and he did not stop Lin Feng.

...

Two sabers, three sabers, four sabers...

Lin Feng's Qi Spirit was nearing depletion, and at this moment, the red figure's aura suddenly changed.

*Boom!* A blood-red, violent aura rushed towards him, the saber seemed to return from hell, filled with the grandeur of battlefields and thousands of troops, advancing fearlessly.

The profound saber intent made Lin Feng's heart tremble.

*Chi!*

This saber intent pierced his heart.

*Peng!* The ultra-alloy floor cracked into fragments, and Lin Feng stood still, his eyes burning. This saber deeply imprinted itself in his heart, like an indelible mark, guiding him to see a new realm of saber techniques.

The blurry door in the distance was now glowing.

Saber technique, fourth realm!

"Saber as Heart."

"Saber in hand, heart in saber."

Lei Gang's voice was domineering and imposing.

Lin Feng murmured, "Saber as Heart, heart... in saber."

He didn't move just now because Lin Feng knew that Brother Lei's final saber had no hostility, but was a demonstration of the saber technique realm for him.

"Did you gain anything?" Lei Gang stood tall, putting away the blood saber.

"Quite a bit." Lin Feng bowed slightly, "Thank you, Brother Lei, for your guidance."

"Ha ha!" Lei Gang laughed heartily, his tiger eyes burning as he looked at Lin Feng, "I gained a lot too. I thought getting a first-class genius was already a stroke of luck, but I never expected, really never expected, to get a second one!" Staring at Lin Feng, Lei Gang's eyes were fiery: "Tell me the truth, Lin Feng! Have you awakened the Earth Spirit?"

"Um." Lin Feng nodded, not hiding it.

Lying to a strong person like Brother Lei would be very foolish.

"Ha ha!" Lei Gang laughed heartily, "Actually, I already knew in the Battle Arena. Blue Wolf is not an ancient martial artist, how could he know the secret of Qi Spirit? Dragon Slayer Island is really stupid, giving us a top genius for free!"

"Wang Lang, the Dragon Slayer, would be furious if he knew, ha ha!"

"An ancient martial artist awakening the Earth Spirit early is a hundred times rarer and a hundred times more useful than a gene warrior!"

A hundred times rarer?

A hundred times more useful?

Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly; this was too exaggerated.

"Actually, you might already know, the Battle Academy is actually founded by our Elemental Merchant Alliance." Lei Gang looked at Lin Feng, his eyes bright, "Now I formally invite you, Lin Feng, do you wish to join the Elemental Merchant Alliance?"

Elemental Merchant Alliance!

From Guo Li, Lin Feng had indeed learned a bit.

Its strength was not the strongest, nor was its power the greatest, but it was the wealthiest force in the Ancient China, one of the world's three major financial groups, with Elemental Malls spread throughout the large and small cities of the Ancient China. He even had a 90% discount VIP card for the Elemental Mall.

The Elemental Merchant Alliance was one of the top forces in the Ancient China.

"Will there be any restrictions after joining?" Lin Feng asked.

Lei Gang laughed heartily, "As the saying goes, with power comes responsibility. The Elemental Merchant Alliance will systematically cultivate every genius. Among all forces, we invest the most effort and resources, and we are the most willing to spend money. The only thing you need to do is one thing—loyalty."

"Loyalty to the Elemental Merchant Alliance."

"Loyalty to the country!"

"That's it."

Lin Feng looked at Lei Gang.

From his eyes, he could see a burning passion, a resolute and unyielding warrior.

"I agree." Lin Feng nodded.

"Oh?" Lei Gang was surprised, "You didn't even ask about the benefits?"

"No need." Lin Feng smiled, "Because I feel... I am very suitable for the Elemental Merchant Alliance."

Lei Gang was slightly taken aback.

Suddenly, Lei Gang patted Lin Feng's shoulder approvingly, "Very good, I like your attitude. Rest assured, when it comes to benefits, if the Elemental Merchant Alliance is second, who dares to be first? Your potential is as great as the financial power of the Elemental Merchant Alliance, and we will never treat you poorly!"

"Of course, whether you become a dragon or a worm depends on you."

Lin Feng smiled.

What a domineering statement, but this was the confidence of the Elemental Merchant Alliance.

Rich enough to rival a nation!

"I will arrange for you to enter the Floating Elemental Island for further studies. April is too late, and... I need to prepare your information." Lei Gang pondered, "On May 1st, I will come back to the academy to take you to Qinhuang City to meet the supervisor."

Lin Feng nodded.

Being cautious was necessary.

After all, he was about to become a true member of the Elemental Merchant Alliance. As Guo Li said, in the Battle Academy, only S District students had the chance to...

Be formally invited to join the Elemental Merchant Alliance.

"Brother Lei, I wonder... can I participate in the Sunset City Under-18 New Star Tournament?" Lin Feng looked at Lei Gang.

"Do you want to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?" Lei Gang smiled.

Lin Feng nodded slightly.

He didn't know before, but now he knew that the New Star Tournament champion could enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum for a day and a night. Missing it would be a pity.

That was an ancient relic!

He very much wanted to enter and explore its secrets.

"No need." Lei Gang shook his head and said calmly, "The New Star Tournament doesn't start until June 1st, by which time you will already be on the Floating Elemental Island. If all goes well, you will be designated as a 'first-class genius' and will naturally be able to enter the ancient relic."

"Of course, not the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but one unique to the Elemental Merchant Alliance..."

"The ancient relic."
