Chen Feng calmly stepped onto the duel platform.
The disciple across from him sneered arrogantly.
“You should just surrender now and leave the stage,” he mocked.
“And from today onward, never show your face around Chen Ling again.”
The disciple looked at Chen Feng with contempt.
“Chen Ling is a cultivation genius, while you are only an average cultivator.
The two of you don’t belong in the same world.”
Chen Feng smiled faintly.
“So disciples of the Heavenly God Sect only know how to talk?” he said calmly.
“Can none of you actually fight?”
The disciple’s expression instantly darkened with rage.
“You’re courting death!”
He immediately rushed forward and attacked Chen Feng with full force.
However, Chen Feng merely moved slightly to the side and effortlessly dodged the attack.
Before the disciple could react—
Bang!
Chen Feng’s kick landed directly on his stomach.
The disciple was blasted backward and crashed onto the ground on his knees.
His body trembled violently.
A normal Qi Refinement cultivator simply could not withstand the strength of a Body Cultivator.
The surrounding disciples were stunned.
“So fast…”
“How did he defeat him with one move?”
The instructor quickly arrived and took away the injured disciple.
Chen Feng calmly collected the bottle of Qi Refinement Pills before walking toward Chen Ling.
“Let’s go back,” he said casually.
Chen Ling nodded while staring at him in shock.
As the two walked back toward Azure Cloud Peak, a young man stood silently in the shadows nearby.
His eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.
His name was Wu Fan.
He coldly stared at Chen Feng and Chen Ling as they left together.
On the way back, Chen Ling suddenly lowered her head.
“Don’t think too much about what happened today,” she said softly.
“I only called you my fiancé to make that boy leave me alone.
I didn’t expect someone would challenge you because of it.”
Tears slowly appeared in her eyes.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble…”
Chen Feng gently wiped away her tears and patted her head.
“You are my friend,” he said with a warm smile.
“Your problems are my problems.
You don’t need to worry about such small things.”
Chen Ling smiled after hearing his words.
But as she looked at Chen Feng’s back while walking beside him, a strange emotion appeared in her eyes.
There was affection…
And an almost obsessive madness hidden deep within her gaze.
Soon, the two returned to Azure Cloud Peak and reported everything to their master.
That evening, Bai Ruyu invited them to dine together with the other disciples of the peak.
Bai Ruyu calmly introduced everyone.
“You already know Meilin, my first disciple.”
Meilin smiled and nodded toward them.
“This is my second disciple, Han Li.”
Han Li politely greeted them.
“And this,” Bai Ruyu continued, “is my third disciple, Bai Jingyun.
She is my younger sister’s daughter and recently joined the sect.”
Bai Jingyun gently greeted the two newcomers.
Chen Ling quickly sat beside Bai Jingyun, and the two girls soon began chatting happily.
After dinner, everyone returned to their own residences.
Inside his hut, Chen Feng sat quietly while thinking deeply.
“That disciple today was not very strong,” he muttered.
“But there are many powerful opponents within this world.
I need to become stronger quickly.”
He looked toward the Ancient Demon and Heavenly God Body Cultivation Technique.
“My body cultivation talent is heaven-defying,” he whispered.
“But if I focus only on Body Cultivation, my Qi cultivation realm will fall too far behind.”
Chen Feng frowned slightly.
“And within the sect, cultivation talent determines the resources you receive.
I need to increase my Qi cultivation as well.”
That night, Chen Feng began cultivating the Void Cultivation Technique once again.
After an entire night of cultivation, he finally broke through into the First Layer of Qi Refinement.
The next morning, Chen Feng once again started cultivating the Ancient Demon and Heavenly God Body Cultivation Technique.
Pain instantly spread throughout his entire body.
Three hours later—
Boom!
Chen Feng successfully broke through into the Sixth Layer of the Bronze Body Realm.
But the energy inside his body still continued surging violently.
Boom!
Seventh Layer.
Boom!
Eighth Layer.
Boom!
Ninth Layer.
Only then did the terrifying energy finally stop.
Chen Feng collapsed onto the ground completely exhausted, his body covered in sweat.
His breathing was rough, but his eyes shone brightly.
“I knew my Body Cultivation talent was monstrous…” he muttered.
“This talent is too dangerous.”
His expression became serious.
“I cannot expose my Body Cultivation strength to anyone.”
“Not even Master…”
“And not even Chen Ling.”
Chen Feng slowly stood up.
“But my Qi cultivation is still too weak.
I need to find a way to increase it quickly.”
He walked outside and called toward Chen Ling’s hut.
But before he could speak further—
A terrifying beam of light suddenly erupted into the sky nearby.
The entire Azure Cloud Peak trembled.
The light was so powerful that Chen Feng’s vision instantly blurred.
A frightening pressure descended upon the mountain…
To Be Continued…
