Chapter 080：Blooming Strength

Mo Ye's eyes flickered slightly. She gave Lin Feng a cold look. This guy is really clueless. Does he think that with his talent, he can force Nan Gong Ling to do as he pleases? 

"It's truly ridiculous." Mo Xie's eyes betrayed a mocking expression. 

"Master, Lord Tianlang and others are all here. Should we allow the Grand Competition of the Sect to proceed as planned or not? We mustn't let it be delayed." 

Mozhanglean, who had been sitting there quietly and closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and the cold light vanished. He remained silent, but that didn't mean he was unaware of what had happened. That day, Elder Bei almost took Moxia's life. For this, he had already been furious. He had served the sect for many years. Just because of an outsider's disciple, he wanted to take his son's life?

Mozhanglean's eyes opened, and the cold light vanished. He remained silent, but that didn't mean he was unaware of what had happened. That day, Elder Bei almost took Moxia's life. For this, he had already been furious. He had served the sect for many 

Moreover, could it be that this still wouldn't be enough to counterbalance the mistakes made by Mo Ye? Would it be necessary to have Mo Ye kneel down and apologize in front of everyone, in order to make this novice disciple who has just entered the Inner Gate admit his fault? 

Upon hearing Mo Canglan's words, Nan Gong Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Without Mo Canglan, he might have punished Mo Ye. However, Mo Canglan entered Yunhai Sect earlier than him and was a senior member of the sect. Because of the matter involving Lin Feng, punishing Mo Ye could soothe Lin Feng's mind, but it would undoubtedly make those senior members of the sect feel disappointed and resentful towards the sect. 

Nan Gong Ling is in a dilemma. 

As the head of a clan, he has to consider too many things. 

"Lin Feng, let's first hold the clan competition. We can discuss this matter later. How about that?" 

When Lin Feng heard what Nan Gong Ling said, he immediately understood in his heart. It seems that his status is still not sufficient. The Inner Gate Elders and the Law Enforcement Grand Elder, compared to him, a talented junior with outstanding potential, are indeed of much greater importance. But, could the humiliation that Mo Ye gave him be dismissed? 

He is weak, so he should just swallow his anger and endure the bullying? 

This time, Mo Ye doesn't have to pay a price. Even in the future, Mo Ye won't care and plot to harm him again, because Mo Ye knows that Nan Gong Ling won't dare to touch him. 

Shaking his head, Lin Feng's gaze was resolute. Although his strength was still weak, yet the weak ones too have flesh and blood, and dignity. 

Moe Xie had nearly killed him several times. Now, he merely wants to get a little interest back. If Nan Gong Ling refuses even this demand, then I, Lin Feng, will still be looked down upon by others and regarded by Moe Xie as someone who can be bullied at will. What's the point of staying at Yunhai Sect? 

"Master, I know that Mo Ye holds a high status and Elder Mo Canglan is even more exalted. But because of this, she can bully me at will. Even though I am in Yunhai Sect, I still can't hold my head high. So what's the point of me staying here?" 

Lin Feng's voice was extremely resolute. Today, he must bring down Mo Ye's guilt. 

In the canyon, the space seemed exceptionally quiet. Lin Feng happened to encounter Mo Xie, the Inner Gate Elder. Between them, Nan Gong Ling could only choose one. 

"Very bold." 

Many people couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts. Lin Feng's words were so forceful. He had to make the Patriarch choose between him and Mo Ye. That was quite a bold move. 

"Laughable." 

A cold voice suddenly rang out. The speaker was an Inner Gate disciple. He was one of the Inner Gate disciples standing on the Deathbed Platform. Moreover, his position among the Inner Gate disciples was the twentieth, which meant that his ranking among them was the twentieth. 

"This is sheer nonsense, Lin Feng. Elder Mo Yexi is of such high status and possesses such formidable power. What do you think you are? Just an outsider's disciple. If Elder Mo Yexi were to frame you, how could you still stand there spouting foul language and making wild claims? I feel ashamed to be a fellow member of the Yunhai Sect with you." 

This person spoke coldly and directly, insisting that Lin Feng was talking nonsense. 

When Mo Ye heard these words, a hint of smile appeared in her eyes. She gave a satisfied glance to this disciple. 

"Leibo, this brat with such a foul breath, why should you engage with him in a confrontation? The Lord is so wise and just, he will surely make a fair judgment." 

"Brother Elder, I naturally know that the Patriarch is wise and just. But seeing this young fellow who has a bit of talent of his own being so shameless, I was indeed quite angry. If I were to encounter him in the Inner Sect's Grand Competition, I would surely kill him." 

Leibo and Mo Ye sang in unison, pinning the label of "wise and virtuous" on Nan Gong Ling's head. It seemed as if Nan Gong Ling had convicted Mo Ye of being "stupid and foolish" by following Lin Feng's advice. 

"Older Mo Yexi is in charge of the law enforcement within the sect. She has quite a few dogs as pets. That's why she is so imposing and domineering towards the disciples of the sect." 

Lin Feng's voice carried a strong sense of sarcasm. If Lei Bo wanted to rescue Mo Ye, then he would have to pay the price for it. Lei Bo wanted to help Mo Ye out of the predicament, but Lin Feng was saying that he would have to pay the price for it. 

"Such a foul mouth." 

Mo Ye shouted angrily and gave a glance at Lei Bo. Lei Bo immediately understood her meaning. 

"Lord, I myself am honest and upright. But this fellow insults me as a dog or an animal. Lei Bo is willing to challenge him. It's a life-and-death battle. I hope Lord will help us out." 

Leibo was in a rage and asked for a battle against Nan Gong Ling. 

Nan Gong Ling frowned. Lei Bo was ranked first among the Inner Gate disciples. His strength had reached the level of the third stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. He was extremely powerful and far beyond the reach of those at the second stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. Lin Feng was good at swordsmanship, but the gap in his cultivation level was obvious. If he agreed to this battle, Lin Feng would be in danger. 

Just as Nan Gong Ling was about to refuse, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up. 

"Lord, I, Lin Feng, have always been straightforward and honest. Everyone knows that Mo Ye slandered me. But this person says that I am vulgar and obscene, spouting nonsense. If it's not Mo Ye's lackey, then who is it? Please allow me to fight this battle, a life-and-death battle." 

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at Nan Gong Ling. His gaze was calm and confident, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation. This caused a slight fluctuation in Nan Gong Ling's heart. 

Could it be that Lin Feng still conceals his true strength? 

Thinking of this, Nan Gong Ling couldn't help but feel a glimmer of anticipation in his heart. His lips twitched slightly and he said, "Let's fight." 

"Master Xie." Lei Bo saw that Nan Gong Ling was extremely excited and responded with great enthusiasm. His figure trembled slightly as he shot up into the air and gracefully landed on the central Death and Life Platform. He stood facing Lin Feng. 

"In this battle, it's a life-and-death struggle. The Lord of the Sect himself promised this, and it's witnessed by all. Lin Feng, you are doomed to die without a doubt." 

Leibo emphasized with a slight hiss, as if fearing that Nan Gong Ling might back out. 

This time Lin Feng was so aggressive that Mo Ye was embarrassed. It was Lei Bo who stepped forward to rescue Mo Ye. If he could defeat Lin Feng, Mo Ye Elder would surely cultivate him with special care in the future. 

"You are quite confident indeed." 

"Of course, you, a junior newcomer who has just entered the Inner Gate, even if you have decent natural talent, you are still too weak in front of me, who is already at the third stage of the Spirit-Reality Realm. I don't even need to release my Spirit-Realm Spirit to easily eliminate you." 

As he spoke, the aura on Lei Bo's body burst forth. This aura was very arrogant and domineering. On Lei Bo's body, the white light flickered erratically, making crackling sounds, as if it were the sound of lightning. 

The cultivation level of the third tier of the Spirit-Defence Realm is too far removed from that of the first tier. It cannot be made up for merely by one's innate talent. Even if Lin Feng mastered the Sword Form, he still couldn't do it. 

"I can tell you that my Spirit Ability is Thunderbolt. It's a mighty and powerful one, capable of inflicting extremely severe damage. However, you are not yet qualified for me to release my Thunderbolt Spirit Ability." 

Leibo raised his right hand. The white lightning flashed in his palm, dazzling and astonishing. 

The Lightning Spirit Soul has an extremely powerful attack and an extremely swift attack speed. It is an extremely powerful Spirit Soul. Precisely because of this Spirit Soul, Lei Bo, who just entered the third layer of the Spirit Realm, engraved his name on the twenty-first stone pillar not long after he stepped into the Spirit Realm. He was just one name away from entering the top twenty. 

"Eightfold Universe Palm" 

Lin Feng had no intention of engaging in idle chatter with Lei Bo. He simply raised his hand and delivered a powerful palm strike, sending out six fierce palm impressions. 

"Humph." 

Leibo let out a cold chuckle, his palms trembled slightly. At the same time, six strands of lightning flashed and burst forth, crashing down upon the six palm impressions. In an instant, the palm impressions vanished. 

"Power." 

Lin Feng took a step forward, and an intangible sword energy burst forth in the space. There was no sword itself, but there was sword qi, sword intention and sword momentum. 

With a casual wave of both hands, six palm prints were suddenly blasted out, vanishing without a trace. 

However, Lin Feng was well aware that such a casual attack could not possibly shake the opponent. He took another step forward, the space around him roared, the swordsmen's aura was fierce, and in the vast expanse of the universe, only the might of the sword existed. 

What's even more terrifying is that this sudden increase in the power of the sword attack was not a gradual rise but an abrupt explosion. Compared to when Lin Feng killed five Inner Gate strongmen just now, this attack power is much stronger by many times. 

An intangible pressure descended upon Lei Bo. Lei Bo felt as if his entire body was being subjected to a tearing pain, as if the slightest carelessness would cause him to be torn to pieces by this powerful sword attack. 

"Level of Lingwu, Second Tier." 

Leibo's heart skipped a beat and he roared, "You are not of the rank of the first level of the Spirit-Animal Realm, but of the second level." 

The crowd all changed their expressions. Lin Feng, indeed, still concealed his true strength. How abnormal! Not long ago, no one had heard of Lin Feng's name. But in just a short period of time, Lin Feng rose rapidly and became the focus of attention. 

Nowadays, after mastering the sword technique, he has reached the level of the Second Rank of the Spirit-Defending Realm. His strength is now sufficient to contend with the Third Rank of the Spirit-Defending Realm. It's no wonder that he shows no fear at all when facing Lei Bo in battle. 

" This fellow is not just endowed with extraordinary talent in martial arts alone." 

Nan Gong Ling was already somewhat numb. He still remembered when he first met Lin Feng. At that time, Lin Feng was still a junior in the Air Martial Realm, with very weak power. He even dared to bully Lin Qian from the Hua Yue Sect, who was already a first-level Spirit Martial Realm cultivator. But in just this short period of time. 

Lin Feng, having transcended the Lingwu Realm, comprehended the essence of the sword technique, killed the top eighty-one disciples of the Inner Sect, challenged the strong ones of the Lingwu Realm at the third level, and seemed to even hold a commanding position. 

"Your chattering is way too much." 

Lin Feng took another step forward. The intangible sword qi penetrated Lei Bo's clothes and pierced his skin. The terrifying majesty of the sword descended upon him, causing Lei Bo's complexion to change drastically. For the first time, he witnessed the terrifying might of the sword attack. 

"Damn it." 

With a low cry, the cracking and popping sounds kept coming one after another. Lightning and thunder enveloped Lei Bo's body, and at that moment, there were countless bolts of lightning swirling around him, like a row of fierce lightning serpents, flaunting their might and dazzlingly bright. 

"Eightfold Universe Palm" 

A terrifying gust of palm wind swept out, countless palm prints spread over the entire battlefield. This time, Lin Feng gave it his all. The Eightfold Palm Technique, covering the sky and the earth. 

"Thunder waves." 

Leibo roared loudly, and with a mighty force, his fists, glowing with the light of thunder and lightning, simultaneously struck out. The thunder and lightning merged into a ball of light, piercing the eyes of the crowd. An incomparably powerful destructive force blossomed in space. Anyone who came close to Leibo's palm prints would be instantly obliterated. 

"Blade-drawing Technique." 

The palm print had not yet faded away, and the swordlight shot up into the sky, carrying with it the overwhelming swordsmanship that shattered everything. 

The Sword Drawing Technique demands speed, an extreme level of speed. The faster it is, the more terrifying the explosive power becomes. 

Lin Feng drew his sword with one stroke, and the thick sword qi slashed out across the sky, tearing through space and severing everything in its path. 

"Thunder God is furious." 

Leibo roared loudly, and his entire body was bathed in the endless brilliance of thunder and lightning. His arms and hands were also completely penetrated by the lightning and thunder, as if carrying the wrath of the thunder god, blasting out and resisting the powerful sword qi. 

"Boom click." 

The clash of lightning and sword energy produced a dazzling white light that was extremely scorching. The eyes of the crowd flickered as if they couldn't stay open. 

Leibo felt the pain spreading through his body. His face turned ashen. He never expected that Lin Feng, so tough and powerful as he was. 

What is power? It is the ability to grow stronger with each passing moment. This is power. 

With this strike of the sword, the surrounding sword-wielding forces not only did not weaken but became even more powerful. However, this force seemed to be intent on crushing Lei Bo.
