First disciple

"Let me take a look at this martial technique," a sudden voice sounded to the left of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw a young man with a sinister aura facing another person indifferently, his tone commanding.

The other person Lin Feng had seen before, named Shen Chen, was an outer disciple like him but much more famous.

"I've set my sights on this martial technique," Shen Chen said coldly, staring at the young man next to him. Bullying of outer disciples by inner disciples was not uncommon, but Shen Chen was not one to be trifled with.

"How dare you, an outer disciple, refuse me," the young man shouted angrily, releasing a domineering aura.

"Hmph, Li Lin, don't think I don't know you. One of the weakest among the inner disciples, only daring to show off in front of the outer disciples. This time, during the sect's major competition, I, Shen Chen, will deal with you and make you roll back down from the inner door." Shen Chen showed no signs of backing down, speaking coldly.

"Shen Chen, this kid is Shen Chen. Heh, this is interesting." The crowd on the second floor of the Star Pavilion looked over. Shen Chen was right. Li Lin was too weak among the inner disciples, feeling useless and inferior, so he often showed off in front of the outer disciples. He didn't expect to run into a tough opponent this time.

Shen Chen, the number one outer disciple, with the Flame Martial Soul, was extremely domineering with the Gang Fire Sword Art. No one in the outer disciples could match him. It was a foregone conclusion that he would enter the inner sect in this sect competition.

Sure enough, Li Lin's face slightly stiffened when he heard Shen Chen's name. He had heard that Shen Chen was very powerful, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky as to provoke him.

"Misunderstanding, I'm not interested in that martial technique anymore." Li Lin's face changed quickly, then walked away.

Laughter broke out, with people saying that Li Lin was truly spineless, scared like this by an outer disciple, losing face for the inner disciples.

"What are you laughing at? Do you believe I can cripple you?" Li Lin felt ashamed and angry, feeling like everyone was laughing at him, including Lin Feng, so he shouted at Lin Feng angrily.

Shen Chen was not someone he could afford to provoke, could he still provoke this outer disciple?

Lin Feng, who had just intended to leave, was stunned. Did he just smile?

He had not shown any expression from start to finish, just shaking his head inwardly. Did Li Lin dare not to provoke others and use him as a punching bag?

"Truly a bully." A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. If he couldn't provoke Shen Chen, could he provoke him?

But Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with such people. He had already selected the techniques and martial skills he needed and had no reason to stay any longer.

With a step, Lin Feng prepared to leave.

"Stop, you waste of an outer disciple, how dare you ignore me." Li Lin's face darkened, stepping forward to intercept Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sneered inwardly. It seemed this guy was determined to save face and treated him like a soft persimmon.

"Waste of an outer disciple? Didn't you just lose face in front of an outer disciple?" Lin Feng said mockingly. This guy was shameless.

Caught at his sore spot, Li Lin's face became even colder, his gaze like a poisonous snake, staring at Lin Feng.

"Are you looking for death?"

"You're right." Lin Feng smirked. "Li Lin, right? I'll remember you. See you at the sect competition, at the Wind and Cloud Gorge, at the Life and Death Platform."

With these words, everyone showed a smirk. Lin Feng actually challenged Li Lin, and it was a life and death challenge.

"Interesting," everyone murmured. Li Lin's face seemed a bit stiff, his gaze flickering. Lin Feng dared to challenge him to a duel. Was he really strong?

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you." Li Lin had no retreat now. Shen Chen was one thing, but if he was scared off by this outer disciple Lin Feng, he would have no place in the Cloud Sea Sect anymore, having no face to stay.

Turning around, Li Lin left directly.

Lin Feng sneered inwardly, not taking the other party seriously. If he couldn't even defeat the weakest inner disciple, what talk of martial arts?

"Heh heh, what's your name? Being able to enter this level means you've already reached the Spiritual Martial Realm. Why haven't I seen you before?" Shen Chen, as the number one outer disciple, recognized the stronger ones among the outer disciples. He also knew that several had entered the Spiritual Martial Realm, preparing to show their prowess in the upcoming sect competition and enter the inner sect.

But Lin Feng, Shen Chen had never seen.

"Lin Feng, an unknown. It's normal you haven't seen me before," Lin Feng replied with a faint smile.

"Lin Feng the waste?" Shen Chen was taken aback. He hadn't seen the person, but he had heard the name a few times.

"Heh heh, it seems rumors can't be completely believed. How can there be a waste at the Spiritual Martial Realm?" Shen Chen shook his head with a smile. However, he changed the subject, saying, "However, although we are both outer disciples, there is a gap between us. Take you and me, for example, there is a gap of tens of millions of miles, no comparison. Moreover, I will soon be an inner disciple."

Lin Feng was slightly surprised, understanding that Shen Chen was referring to his previous statement to Li Lin, 'Didn't you just lose face in front of an outer disciple?' In Shen Chen's eyes, Lin Feng's words seemed to be comparing himself to Shen Chen. In Shen Chen's view, Lin Feng was obviously not worthy of comparison, just like he said, there was a gap of tens of millions of miles, no comparison.

"It seems you're very confident," Lin Feng said without anger, smiling.

"At least among the outer disciples, I am second to none, and no one dares to claim to be first," Shen Chen replied.

"Okay, it is said that outer disciples are only allowed to stay on the second floor of the Star Pavilion for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. You're so good, dare you exceed this time?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Are you joking? Do you dare to stay longer?" Shen Chen sneered, full of disdain.

"You can just watch here," Lin Feng continued, a hint of a meaningful smile on his lips, ignoring Shen Chen. Lin Feng continued to flip through the martial skills. Although he didn't practice, it seemed good to understand them.

"Is this guy crazy? He actually dares to say he'll stay longer." The inner disciples on the second floor of the Star Pavilion looked at Lin Feng with interest. They wanted to see how long this guy could last.

"Hmph." Shen Chen snorted coldly, not bothering to select martial skills anymore. He would enter the inner sect sooner or later, so there was no hurry. He looked at Lin Feng, prepared to see him

 make a fool of himself.

But Shen Chen seemed disappointed. After a short while, Lin Feng still had no reaction, as if he had no concept of time at all.

"Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to die?" Shen Chen couldn't maintain his calm anymore. He was running out of time. If he didn't leave now, he would be breaking the rules of the Cloud Sea Sect, and the consequences would be severe.

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you? The number one outer disciple, a genius!" Lin Feng's tone was indifferent, but the sarcasm in his words was evident to anyone.

Shen Chen's gaze turned cold. "You're looking for death. I won't accompany you. I want to see how you explain yourself when you go down."

After saying this coldly, Shen Chen turned and left, walking down from the Star Pavilion.

"The number one outer disciple? Just a rat." Lin Feng sneered, causing Shen Chen to pause slightly, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.
