In the Snow Moon Kingdom, numerous sects are established, and there are countless family forces. However, among them, only a few are truly powerful.
The Royal Family is undoubtedly the most powerful among all the forces in the Snow Moon Kingdom. Their influence spreads throughout the vast country, unmatched by any other force. No one dares to oppose them.
Below the royal family, within the imperial city, there are several very powerful forces, such as the Yue family of the imperial city, the Yu family, and the Wanniu Gate.
Outside the Imperial City, there are some powerful sects. For instance, there is the Yunhai Sect, where Lord Baiyun resides. There is also the Haoyue Sect where Lord Daopeng is from. Besides, there is the Luoxia Sect and the Xueyin Villa.
The Eight Young Lords, ruling over the realms of Snow and Moon, are the representatives of the youth of Snow and Moon Kingdom. They are the eight individuals with the best talents and the greatest strength. They all come from these powerful forces. However, the Yunhai Sect has none of them.
Although a person of a prince-level strength is not yet powerful enough to affect the foundation of the sect, what about in the future? What about after ten years, or twenty years?
Nan Gong Ling was well aware that this was a sign of the decline and downfall of the sect. The sect's fortune was bad, there was no successor, and the talent pool was depleted. If this continued, the sect would inevitably fall into ruin. This was an inevitable trend.
In recent years, the Yunhai Sect has undoubtedly been heading towards decline. It has gradually been pulled apart by other forces. As the sect leader, Nan Gong Ling couldn't help but feel anxious.
The appearance of Lin Feng and Han Man gave him hope and a sense of destiny for the sect.
Given Lin Feng's strength and talent, if given enough time, he will surely become a figure at the level of the Eight Major Generals. Only then will Yunhai Sect have the chance to catch its breath.
The current Yunhai Sect may seem peaceful on the surface, but in reality it is fraught with hidden dangers and turmoil.
"Hopefully they can grow into the hope of the Yunhai Sect." Nan Gong Ling looked at Han Man on the Death and Life Platform and sighed in his heart. The one in the Imperial City has already begun to establish the Xue Yue Holy Order. This is definitely not a good omen.
At this moment, Han Man took another step forward. On the battlefield of life and death, it seemed as if there were surging yellow sands roaring in the distance, making Wang Han's body tense. The overwhelming pressure pressing on him was vast and heavy, making him feel utterly exhausted.
"I'm no match for you. Congratulations, you've entered the Inner Gate."
Wang Han suddenly felt his body relax completely. His eyes closed slightly. His tone was filled with melancholy. Defeat without a fight was a disgrace for a warrior, but fighting was merely self-inflicted humiliation.
"Ha ha, Brother, don't take it to heart either. I merely took advantage of your Spirit Soul." Han Man's aura vanished abruptly. He returned to his simple and honest appearance, making people feel close to him.
"Thank you." Wang Han nodded at Han Man and turned to leave the Death and Life Platform. Although Han Man had given him a face-saving gesture, he had lost the battle and was now the loser. He had no face to remain here any longer.
Han Man came up to Lin Feng and said with a smile, "How was it? Did you manage to avoid embarrassment?"
"Quite right." Lin Feng nodded and smiled. Once the situation was well-managed, when it came to a battle at the same level, the advantage was so overwhelming that one could stand invincible unless they encountered those with extremely strong natural talents. Otherwise, they would already be in an unassailable position.
The subsequent battles had nothing to do with Lin Feng, but he still stayed here to watch all of them and absorbed everything he could learn.
"My objective is to become a Butcher. This guy is extremely powerful. With just one move, he defeated one of the core disciples and entered the core circle."
Han Man's eyes shone brightly after watching this round of the competition. Not only him, but everyone else felt the same way. Especially in the battle against the Butcher, it was too domineering. Only one person who could become a core disciple was a good fighter, but he still couldn't withstand the Butcher's dominance. With just one punch, he knocked him out cold.
"Lin Feng, how about you? Who is your target?" Han Man suddenly asked.
"Me?" Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment and shook his head with a smile: "Not yet."
Lin Feng had indeed not thought it through. The non-internal-door disciples of Yunhai Sect are mostly in the "Spiritual Martial" realm. To cross over to the internal-door disciples, they need to have the "Spiritual and Martial" realm strength.
The first level of the "Spiritual Might Realm" is the foundation of the Inner Sect. The third level of the "Spiritual Might Realm" is for the Inner Sect's strongholds. Once someone reaches the fourth level of the "Spiritual Might Realm", they will want to challenge the core disciples and join the core ranks.
Of course, challenges are often met with failure. The weakest among the core disciples are all at the level of Lingwu Stage Four. And this was the case even when they entered the core ranks a year ago. They were replaced by defeating the core disciples. It's obvious that as time goes by, the strength of the core disciples will become increasingly powerful. It's extremely difficult to challenge the core disciples.
But even if it's difficult, every year during the grand competition of the sect, there are still many people who take up the challenge. Such an opportunity comes only once a year.
There are too many Inner Gate disciples stuck between the first and fourth grades of the Inner Sect. Only by entering the core can one stand out and enjoy a broader space, and receive key cultivation attention from the sect.
However, if he were to live another life and possess the three extraordinary spirit souls that are beyond the ordinary, Lin Feng's gaze would not be confined to the Inner Sect disciples or the core disciples only. Moreover, even if he reached the status of a core disciple, what then? A mere Inner Sect elder, Mo Xie, could already make him feel utterly powerless.
The first round of the Grand Competition of the Sect came to an end. The crowd dispersed, still discussing the event and expressing their eagerness. They were looking forward to the second round which would take place three days later.
The ranking battle among the inner disciples and the core disciples is a true showdown of strong forces. All the talented disciples in the sect will exert their utmost efforts in this battle to secure a good ranking. The excitement of the battle is beyond doubt.
Lin Feng and others did not leave with the rest of the group. Instead, they headed towards the place where the Inner Gate disciples of Yunhai Sect were practicing. Now that they had entered the Inner Gate, they needed to collect the tokens and clothing for Inner Gate disciples, which were symbols of their identities.
"Lin Feng."
Just then, a voice came from behind Lin Feng who was walking. It made Lin Feng stop his steps and turn around. Then he saw a beautiful figure walking towards him.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei who was approaching and felt somewhat surprised.
"May I have a word with you alone?"
Liu Fei's eyes flashed a trace of unnaturalness and she glanced at Han Man and others.
Talk about it separately?
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. "Liu Fei, is there something you need to talk to me about alone?"
Although the arrow that Liu Fei shot at Mo Ye's spirit blade on that day had completely wiped out Lin Feng's prejudice against her, it was still not intimate enough to warrant something like 'having a private chat', right?
"Ha ha, of course there's no problem, Lin Feng. We still have something to attend to. Let's go ahead."
Before Lin Feng could utter a word, Han Man spoke first, looking rather bold and confident. He pulled Bojun and Jingyun away together, leaving Lin Feng stunned and bewildered. When did this guy become so 'clever'?
Is there something wrong? It's just about getting the internal door token and the costume.
At this moment, Liu Fei had already walked up to Lin Feng and looked rather embarrassed. She said, "Let's chat as we walk."
Lin Feng gave a slight nod. He was also curious about what Liufei wanted from him.
"Lin Feng, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"Remember? That time I almost got shot dead by you." Lin Feng muttered. The woman's domineering manner left a deep impression on him.
"If you don't pry into my privacy, how could I shoot you?" Liu Fei glared at Lin Feng with a frown. She was very displeased.
"Where did you spy me?" Lin Feng was equally annoyed. His eyes swept up and down over Liu Fei's body. His entry into the One-Lane Tunnel was purely by chance, but this woman insisted that he was spying.
"Hey... " Liu Fei saw Lin Feng's gaze and almost choked to death with rage. This guy... What an evil look in his eyes!
Seeing Liu Fei's appearance, Lin Feng felt a sudden sense of relief. Since you want to slander me for peeping, then I'll do it openly. But to be honest, this woman, in terms of her appearance and figure, can be considered a top-notch beauty. There must be quite a few people who want to peep at her...
"OK, I admit it. I misunderstood you. I apologize to you."
Liu Fei gritted her teeth. If it weren't for her father, she wouldn't have bothered to come to see this guy and humbly seek his help.
"Er..." Lin Feng was completely at a loss as to which opera Liufei was singing. He kept looking at Liufei, hoping to glean some clues from her eyes.
"Look at what?" Lin Feng kept staring at her. Liu Fei felt extremely uncomfortable and her face turned slightly red. This made Lin Feng even more astonished. Could it be...?
"You won't... " Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei with strange eyes, hesitating to speak but unable to stop himself. His beautiful eyes remained fixed on him without blinking.
"Are you... attracted to me?" Lin Feng finally managed to force out a sentence. It's really not his fault if he's having such thoughts. Liufei is such an abnormal woman. And considering his own performance today, Lin Feng felt more and more convinced that it was possible. Recalling that he himself never had a romantic relationship in his previous life, Lin Feng couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.
Liu Fei was stunned for several seconds. Finally, a furious shout that she couldn't hold back any longer burst from her lips: "Bastard..."
