Chapter 15

In the midst of the mountain forest, there was a serene silence.

Lin Feng was practicing his sword techniques, focusing on the Fiery Sun Sword Method.

The Fiery Sun Sword Method emphasized ferocity; once unleashed, the attacks were relentless.

After a month of intense practice, Lin Feng finally made some progress with the Fiery Sun Sword Method.

During this period, every morning Lin Feng would attend lectures given by the inner court elders in the "Lecture Hall" along with the new students, and in the afternoon, he would have free time to practice.

The inner court elders were all at the Martial Master level, with profound skills and extensive knowledge. After a period of study, Lin Feng felt he had benefited greatly.

Before he knew it, Lin Feng had been in the inner court for a month.

One morning, Lin Feng and Zhang Qichu went to the "Spirit Medicine Hall" to collect spirit medicines.

Inner court disciples could receive medicinal pills as a subsidy at the beginning of each month to aid their cultivation.

In front of the Spirit Medicine Hall, there was a bustling crowd, with disciples from the four major academies—Purple Light, Long River, Starlight, and Falling Moon—all coming to collect their spirit pills.

"Junior Brother, the inner court disciples are also divided into different ranks. The top ten disciples are highly esteemed and can receive thirty Great Dragon Subduing Pills. The top hundred disciples can receive fifteen Great Dragon Subduing Pills. Disciples ranked below the top hundred can only receive ordinary Qi-supplementing pills. Even a hundred Qi-supplementing pills are not as effective as one Great Dragon Subduing Pill. Therefore, the competition among inner court disciples is extremely fierce. There is a minor competition every six months, and each competition will re-rank the inner court disciples. At that time, everyone will show their true abilities and strive for a good ranking. The higher the ranking, the more benefits one can receive in the inner court," Zhang Qichu said.

Lin Feng nodded. After a month in the inner court, he had already understood the environment. It was filled with geniuses, and the competition was far more intense than in the outer court.

Before long, Lin Feng and Zhang Qichu also collected their spirit medicines.

The two returned to the Long River Branch Academy.

But at that moment, a group of more than ten people surrounded them.

The people were wearing the uniforms of the Purple Light Academy.

"Bad, it's Bai Xuanyang. He is a direct descendant of the Bai family. I'll hold these people off, you run quickly," Zhang Qichu's face changed slightly.

"Run? Can you run away?" The young man leading the group sneered, and his people surrounded Lin Feng and Zhang Qichu tightly.

"Bai Xuanyang, this is the Spirit Medicine Hall, where private duels are forbidden. Why are you surrounding us?" Zhang Qichu said, though he was terrified, he still spoke up.

"Zhang Qichu, you've got some guts, daring to question me? I don't have time to deal with you, trash. Get out of my sight," Bai Xuanyang cursed coldly.

Being humiliated like this, Zhang Qichu's face turned very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Xuanyang, I know you're targeting Junior Brother Lin, but as long as I'm here, you won't touch him."

"What are you? Daring to meddle in my affairs? Do you believe I'll break your dog legs?" Bai Xuanyang's face turned cold.

"Look, it's Bai Xuanyang and his group from the Purple Light Branch Academy."

"The one surrounded seems to be Zhang Qichu from the Long River Branch Academy. Who is the other person?"

"The other guy is called Lin Feng. During the inner court assessment, he fought a life-and-death battle with Bai Yifei and killed him with one punch."

"Is he the bold Lin Feng? This will be interesting. Offending someone from the Bai family never ends well. Bai Xuanyang is at the tenth level of the Martial Artist realm, very powerful. Lin Feng is in trouble today."

Many students around them were discussing, and their gazes towards Lin Feng were filled with pity.

"Whoosh."

At this moment, Bai Xuanyang moved, walking towards Lin Feng.

Despite his fear, Zhang Qichu still stood in front of Lin Feng.

This deeply moved Lin Feng.

However, Lin Feng did not want to involve Zhang Qichu.

Zhang Qichu was at the eighth level of the Martial Artist realm, very strong, but compared to Bai Xuanyang, the gap was still too large.

"Senior Brother, I'll handle this."

Lin Feng stepped forward, looking coldly at Bai Xuanyang, "Whatever you have to say, say it to me. Don't make it hard for others."

"Good, very good, you still have some backbone. My cousin Bai Yifei died at your hands. Daring to kill someone from the Bai family, you deserve to die a thousand deaths. Since the inner court strictly prohibits disciples from killing each other, I won't kill you today. I'll just break your limbs to teach you a lesson."

Bai Xuanyang's face was twisted with a sinister smile.

Boom!

A terrifying aura emanated from his body, enveloping Lin Feng.

Lin Feng immediately felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it almost impossible to move.

This was the terrifying power of a tenth-level Martial Artist, with an aura as heavy as a mountain.

"Kneel down!"

Bai Xuanyang coldly shouted, forcing Lin Feng to kneel before him, clearly intending to humiliate him.

The terrifying aura pressed down, making Lin Feng's legs tremble.

"What are you? Do you dare to make me kneel?"

Lin Feng's face was flushed with anger, struggling to resist the terrifying aura.

"The gap is too large..." Many people shook their heads helplessly, feeling a sense of sorrow for Lin Feng. Offending someone from the Bai family had already sealed his fate.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Lin Feng had resisted his aura and even dared to speak insolently to him, Bai Xuanyang's face turned extremely dark.

For the proud Bai Xuanyang, Lin Feng's ability to resist his aura and not kneel was like a slap in the face.

Speaking insolently to him was an even greater offense.

Whoosh.

Bai Xuanyang moved, his voice icy, "I want to see how hard your bones are."

He kicked towards Lin Feng's calf, intending to make him kneel.

"Bai Xuanyang, what a great show of power." At this moment, a cold snort sounded.

Thud, thud, thud, thud...

Bai Xuanyang was actually forced to retreat four steps.

A woman with a cold expression, stunning beauty, and a tall, graceful figure walked over.

"It's Xiao Yafei..." Many people exclaimed, and many students looked at the woman with awe.

"Senior Sister." Seeing Xiao Yafei, Zhang Qichu's face lit up with surprise.

Xiao Yafei, the senior sister of the Long River Branch Academy! After joining the Long River Branch Academy, Lin Feng had also heard of Xiao Yafei's name. Among the hundred thousand students of Jialan Academy, Xiao Yafei ranked third and was the only student from the Long River Branch Academy to rank in the top ten.

"Bai Xuanyang, who gave you the nerve to attack a disciple of the Long River Branch Academy in the inner court?" Xiao Yafei's voice was cold.

Seeing Xiao Yafei, Bai Xuanyang's face turned even darker. Xiao Yafei came from the Xiao family of Jialan City.

The Xiao family was a force on par with the Bai family, and Xiao Yafei's strength was far greater than Bai Xuanyang's.

Bai Xuanyang naturally wouldn't provoke Xiao Yafei.

"Boy, consider yourself lucky. I'll spare your life today, but next time, you won't be so lucky." Bai Xuanyang's face was twisted with a sinister smile. He waved his hand, and the Purple Light Academy students were about to leave.

A cold voice suddenly rang out, "Three months from now, a life-and-death battle on the inner court arena."

"What? The inner court arena? Is this Lin Feng crazy?"

Many people were shocked.

Lin Feng was only at the sixth level of the Martial Artist realm.

Bai Xuanyang was at the tenth level.

Even in three years, Lin Feng might not catch up to Bai Xuanyang.

To many, Lin Feng challenging Bai Xuanyang was a suicidal act.

Bai Xuanyang was also taken aback, then a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Ha, good. I'll let you live for three more months. In three months, I'll crush you like an ant on the arena..."
