Ling Feng raised his sword-like eyebrows and glanced at Ning Guichen, who looked troubled in front of him, pursing his lips without saying much.
Ning Guichen sighed softly, returned to the front podium, and looked dejected.
With Ling Feng’s Iron lting Gold ability, joining the Flowing Fire Hall was naturally the best choice; however, in front of Qing Xuanzi, he dared not issue the qualification token to Ling Feng.
But Lin Mu, already full of devious ideas, upon seeing Ning Guichen’s submissive appearance, imdiately knew what had happened.
Most likely, it was Qing Xuanzi, that old tortoise, forcing Ning Guichen not to let Ling Feng pass.
"Damn it!"
Lin Mu snorted, gently shoved Ning Guichen, and said angrily, "Brother Ning, don’t bother with that old tortoise. He’s from the Blazing Sun Temple; he can’t oversee matters in our Five Spirit Hall."
"Heh..."
Ning Guichen smiled wryly; how could Lin Mu, a direct disciple, understand the hardships of ordinary disciples like him?
Moreover, Lin Mu’s sister is the Hall Master of the Earth Spirit Hall!
With the backing of his mysterious Master and his sister, he could be so brazen in the East Spirit Immortal Pond, even calling Qing Xuanzi an old tortoise, Qing Xuanzi dared not have issues with him.
However, the situation for ordinary disciples was vastly different; just one sentence from an Elder, even if they weren’t from the Flowing Fire Hall, could imdiately decide his life and death.
Soon, the Flowing Fire Hall’s test concluded, and Ling Feng undeniably took first place. Qing Xuanzi knew that regardless, Ling Feng’s performance would earn him the qualification token, and found it pointless to cause more trouble.
However, failing this sche, he conceived another sinister plan.
Even if he obtained the qualification token, so what?
There was still the Demon Sky Snow Ridge between Iron Ice City and East Spirit Immortal Pond, where much could be plotted.
Every year, nurous geniuses died in Demon Sky Snow Ridge!
Qing Xuanzi’s eyes flashed with cold light; he was deeply interested in the fla from Ling Feng that could quickly refine the Golden Crow Stone Mother!
However, this matter needed to be done discreetly!
Qing Xuanzi narrowed his eyes, scanning the crowd, and finally, his gaze fell upon Mu Renjie from the Mu Family, who had escorted Mu Feiyang.
The Mu Family wanted to attach themselves to the great pillar of the Blazing Sun Temple; they had to show so determination.
He noticed earlier so friction between Ling Feng and Mu Renjie; just offering so small benefits would sufficiently make Mu Renjie obediently serve him!
"Hmm-hmm!"
Qing Xuanzi let out a cold laugh, gently tapping the armrest with his fingertip, looking incredibly pleased.
Finally, after all the Five Spirit Hall assessnts concluded, Ning Guichen compiled the scores and handed them over to Qing Xuanzi for review.
He opened the roster and saw the first na on the list, achieving first in comprehensive scores, first in all hall tests; unbelievably, they were all Ling Feng!
With such achievent, if unable to advance, the crowd would probably rise to accuse him of corruption!
Qing Xuanzi glanced at Ning Guichen and slowly said, "Nephew Ning, you’ve done well. Now, pretend the previous events never happened."
After saying this, Qing Xuanzi, in front of Ning Guichen, checked Ling Feng’s na and casually said, "Ling Feng indeed has so talent; if you wish to issue the qualification token to him, I have no objection."
"Really?"
Ning Guichen blurted out but quickly realized his lapse, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, "Disciple understands."
Qing Xuanzi smiled dimly, picked out so outstanding nas, then handed the roster back to Ning Guichen, officially stating, "Alright, I’m a bit tired; the following matters are left to you."
"Yes, Master Qing Xuan."
Ning Guichen took the list, watched Qing Xuanzi leave, and visibly exhaled a breath of relief.
"The final rankings are out!"
Ning Guichen, smiling, walked to the front podium, loudly announcing, "First place, recomnded by Moxue Mountain Villa, is Ling Feng, scoring first in all five hall assessnts!"
Ling Feng, a Chaos Body, adept in Five Elents and the Three Strange Attributes - Ice, Wind, Thunder; such assessnts were like a gift for him. If not scoring all first, it would not do justice to his Chaos Body.
As Ning Guichen continued announcing the list, Mo Sanqing was also listed, his performance being slightly above mid-level, earning him a qualification token.
"Haha, congratulations Brother Ling!"
After the qualification assessnts concluded, Lin Mu imdiately approached Ling Feng, slapped the qualification token in his hand, laughing heartily, "Brother Ling, you haven’t seen Qing Xuanzi’s face, haha, almost turning livid!"
Ling Feng pursed his lips with a smile; this was rely the initial strike; one day, surely, he would trample Qing Xuanzi beneath his feet, avenging the archery incident at Immortal Pavilion!
At this mont, Ning Guichen also approached, bowed to Ling Feng, and apologized, "Junior Brother Ling, please don’t mind the assessnt."
"No problem."
Ling Feng smiled faintly; grievances have leaders and debts have owners; Qing Xuanzi’s encounter wouldn’t be blad on others by Ling Feng.
Ning Guichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yet, I truly didn’t expect Junior Brother Ling’s Primordial True Fire to be so extraordinary. I’ve never seen such powerful Primordial True Fire, capable of refining Golden Crow Stone Mother within ten breaths."
"I just happened to cultivate so Fire Elent Divine Skills, it’s nothing remarkable."
Ling Feng humbly smiled, while Lin Mu laughingly said, "Alright, alright, now that you and Miss Tuoba have gotten the qualification tokens, we’ve hit that old tortoise hard, let’s go celebrate first, tackle Demon Sky Snow Ridge tomorrow morning. Brother Ning, join us."
Ling Feng nodded; as night fell, most would choose to depart early the next day.
"I’ll pass." Ning Guichen hurriedly gestured, "Junior Brother Lin, I need to compile the scores from this session, present it to the hall Elders."
"No hurry, trust ! Join to celebrate with Brother Ling!"
Lin Mu pulled Ning Guichen, who couldn’t resist, hence tagged along.
Imdiately, Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan followed Lin Mu, swaggering into Immortal Pavilion, no longer Qing Xuanzi’s charity, but legitimately moving in with the qualification token. No one dared to say more.
In the crowd, Mo Sanqing glanced at Ling Feng’s back, sighed lightly, wondering if it was foolish to consider Ling Feng a rival?
He and Ling Feng were on entirely different levels!
Just then, he suddenly saw Qin Wuyang, who had left with Qing Xuanzi, returned, spoke with Mu Renjie, and then Mu Renjie and Mu Feiyang both left with Qin Wuyang.
Vaguely, he seed to hear Qin Wuyang ntion a na, possibly Ling Feng?
"Strange, wasn’t Mu Feiyang predetermined by the Elder of Jingfeng Hall, how co he’s mingling with the Blazing Sun Temple people? And what connection does it have with Ling Feng?"
Mo Sanqing furrowed his brows, chose not to dwell further, turning to join Mo Qingfeng, the elder and youngster leaving together for Moxue Mountain Villa.
