Chapter 74

Lin Feng followed Sun Tiantu's teachings for half a year. During this time, Lin Feng's talent in spirit arrays became evident, greatly shocking Sun Tiantu. In just half a year, Lin Feng grew from a complete novice, who had never been exposed to any spirit array knowledge, to a "mid-level初级 spirit array master" who had mastered twelve array diagrams. In just half a year, Lin Feng had accomplished what many people would take ten years to achieve. Of course, besides Lin Feng's powerful talent and insight, his own diligence and the guidance of a teacher were also crucial factors.

The classification of spirit array masters is divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow.

Each rank is further divided into three levels: "初级, 中级, 高级."

If further subdivided, there are three sub-levels: "low, mid, high."

Currently, Lin Feng is at the first stage, which is the Yellow rank, and he is a mid-level初级 spirit array master.

This level is already quite astonishing for a sixteen-year-old boy.

After teaching Lin Feng for half a year, Sun Tiantu received a letter and had to leave urgently.

"Lin Feng, after I leave, remember not to slack off. You must continue to study hard and practice one hundred times a day to review and learn new things," Sun Tiantu warned.

"Master, I understand. I will not slack off at all," Lin Feng said respectfully.

"Good." Sun Tiantu trusted Lin Feng's character. He nodded, gave Lin Feng one last lesson, and then left Jialan Academy. For the next two months, Lin Feng spent his time either cultivating or studying spirit arrays. He practiced drawing one hundred array diagrams every day to hone his control over spirit arrays. This was a great exercise for his mental strength. Each time he finished drawing, Lin Feng felt deeply exhausted, but the hard work paid off immensely.

After two months, Lin Feng finally broke through again, reaching the high-level初级 Yellow rank spirit array master level.

In less than a year, Lin Feng had completed three stages of advancement, which was an unbelievable feat. If this news were to spread, it would certainly cause a great stir.

Because even the revered "Earth Master Gu Tianhe" in Dongjun神州, who is worshipped like a deity, took three full years to advance from a low-level初级 Yellow rank spirit array master to a high-level初级 Yellow rank spirit array master.

At night, after drawing one hundred array diagrams, Lin Feng, exhausted, lay down to rest.

"Lin Feng, come out..."

At that moment, a familiar voice reached Lin Feng's ears.

It was a voice transmission technique.

"It's Master..." Lin Feng's face lit up with joy. He quickly got up and went outside.

An elderly man in white, standing tall, was waiting for Lin Feng under a large tree nearby. Seeing Lin Feng arrive, he quickly moved away, and Lin Feng followed. They arrived at the back mountain of the academy.

"Master, you're back!" Lin Feng's face showed his delight. He was grateful to Sun Tiantu, who had led him into the world of spirit array masters and taught him diligently. Everything he had achieved as a spirit array master was thanks to Sun Tiantu. This kindness was always on his mind, and he regarded Sun Tiantu as his most respected teacher.

"Feng'er, I can only stay for a short time and will have to leave soon. I have returned this time because there is an important task for you," Sun Tiantu said.

"Disciple will do anything, no matter how difficult," Lin Feng said.

"It's not that serious. It's a letter. You need to deliver this letter to Long Tianyu, the city lord of Longri City, which is three thousand miles away."

Sun Tiantu took out a letter and handed it to Lin Feng, saying solemnly, "You must deliver it within three days. You need to leave immediately."

"Yes, disciple will do it," Lin Feng said, putting the letter away.

"Good. I can't stay long. I must go. Feng'er, the journey is long, so be careful," Sun Tiantu said before leaving.

Lin Feng raised his eyes and said, "Thank you, Master. I will remember."

Whoosh.

In the next moment, Sun Tiantu shot up, turning into a streak of light and disappearing.

Lin Feng returned to his residence and told Zhang Qichu that he would be away for a while. Then he set off for Longri City.

Longri City is one of the ten major cities in Zhenwu Kingdom.

Long Tianyu, the city lord of Longri City, is a member of the royal family and is said to be the current emperor's uncle, holding a high and powerful position.

Lin Feng did not know the content of the letter and would not open his master's letter without permission. He bought a batch of warhorses and rode out of the city at night, heading for Longri City. The warhorses were a cross between汗血宝马 and a beast, capable of traveling 1,500 miles a day and running continuously for three days without stopping. They were not only fast but also had incredible endurance, so delivering the letter to Longri City within three days was not a difficult task.

For two consecutive days, Lin Feng, except for eating and drinking, mostly galloped non-stop. On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Feng arrived at the notorious Ghost Fear Pass, a narrow valley with steep terrain and extreme danger. This place was often plagued by bandits, but they had been mostly cleared out in recent years. Lin Feng rode his warhorse through Ghost Fear Pass at high speed.

Suddenly, Lin Feng sensed a dangerous aura.

He looked up and saw a massive rock, hundreds of meters high, rapidly falling down. Lin Feng's face changed slightly, and he quickly jumped away, avoiding the falling rock. However, his warhorse was not so lucky and was crushed into a pulp.

"Kid, you're quite agile."

A cold laugh echoed, and over a dozen cultivators jumped out from the mountain gorge, blocking Lin Feng's path. Another dozen people descended from the cliff above, trapping Lin Feng in the valley.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked.

"We are bandits from Ghost Fear Pass," the leader of the cultivators said coldly.

"You are not," Lin Feng shook his head. "Bandits are exposed to the elements, so how could they all be so fair-skinned? I think you are more like experts raised by a powerful family."

The leader's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, and he said with a cold laugh, "You have sharp eyes, kid."

Lin Feng sighed, "I should have guessed it was a trap from the beginning."

He took out the letter.

"You..." The leader's face changed slightly.

He asked in a deep voice, "How did you figure it out?"

"I have been studying with my master for over half a year. My master is a very strict person who always calls me by my name, not affectionately as 'Feng'er.' The fake master imitated him very well, and I almost couldn't find any flaws, but my instinct told me he was fake. So, I went along with the plan," Lin Feng said calmly.

The cultivators' faces changed, and none of them expected Lin Feng to be so cunning. If left to grow, he would surely become a formidable presence.

The leader laughed coldly and said, "How foolish. If you suspected it, you shouldn't have come. Now that you're here, you have only one path: death."

He waved his hand, and over thirty cultivators surrounded Lin Feng, their eyes filled with killing intent.
