Thus, the three of them were simply unwilling to accept this reality!
But the fact is right here, whether they accept it or not, nothing can change this.
"I—do—not—accept!"
At this mont, suddenly, a deep roar broke out, filled with unwillingness and anger.
It was the Witch King speaking!
Only to see the Witch King’s face turn black and purple, his pupils flashing with a fierce light, and his aura surging continuously like a massive tidal wave, rising to the sky.
His gaze was fixed firmly on Lin Feng, like an ancient fierce beast wanting to swallow Lin Feng whole.
This was already the Witch King trying his best to suppress his aura, otherwise, with his Martial Emperor Realm Ninth Layer cultivation realm, his might would be earth-shattering.
However, the Witch King’s fury had already boiled over, and he couldn’t suppress his aura.
"Witch King, what grievance do you have?" The High Priest asked calmly, not at all angry at the Witch King’s actions, as if he had long anticipated this situation.
"High Priest!"
Upon hearing this, the Witch King imdiately clasped his fists towards the High Priest and asked loudly, "Even though my assessnt performance wasn’t as good as Wu Chen’s, I passed all of them, shouldn’t I also have the qualification to beco a Junior Officer?"
"Indeed!" The High Priest nodded, passing the assessnt does qualify one to beco a Junior Officer.
However, he would only select the one with the best performance, and if others are dissatisfied, they can only challenge.
"So I am not convinced, I want a battle with Wu Chen, a life and death duel to take his place!" The Witch King declared loudly, his voice filled with determination.
Anyone who dares to obstruct him from acquiring the Junior Officer position must die, must perish!
This battle would either end with him dead or Wu Chen dead!
This battle, he must either succeed or die in glory!
Of course, he had absolute confidence in his strength, he did not believe Wu Chen could be his match in a battle of the sa realm.
The High Priest nodded and then looked at Lin Feng, saying, "Wu Chen, the Witch King has challenged you, if you want to solidify your position as Junior Officer, you can only accept the challenge!"
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, displayed a contemplative expression, knowing that this battle would be a battle of the sa realm, with the Witch King’s cultivation suppressed to the sa level as his.
Concerning this battle, he wasn’t afraid, but neither did he have absolute confidence to win.
Because the Witch King was too strong; firstly, the opponent not only had a special physique but also had twin battle souls.
More importantly, even if the opponent’s cultivation was suppressed to the sa realm as his, the opponent, after all, was a Martial Artist of the Martial Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, and his martial arts or weapons were likely of Venerate level.
Of course, this wasn’t Lin Feng’s greatest concern.
His greatest apprehension was Wu Tianyu and Wu Changyuan and others who had been to the Heavenly Vault World, because once he used his battle soul without restraint, his identity would be exposed.
However, for the position of Junior Officer, he couldn’t back down.
After contemplating for a while, Lin Feng replied solemnly to the High Priest, "High Priest, I can battle him, but I have one request."
"Oh? What request?" The High Priest asked with a slight expression of surprise.
"This battle, it must not be held publicly, but only observed by the High Priest and a few clan high-levels!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
This was the only solution he could think of at present, because as long as Wu Tianyu, Wu Changyuan, and others couldn’t see him fight, the risk of exposure would be greatly reduced.
Granted, after Wu Tianyu and others returned to the Witch Clan, they might have told the High Priest and other Witch Clan high-levels all about Lin Feng.
However, as long as it wasn’t witnessed with their own eyes, it would be difficult to recognize him.
After all, everything about him had changed, his body altered, dark power transford, his star evolved into a battle soul, and his aura and might were incomparably different from before.
As long as he was careful, preventing Wu Tianyu and others who had been to the Heavenly Vault World from sensing his Power of War Soul, others could not identify his identity.
"Not publicly held? Why is that?" The High Priest asked, astonished, and others also showed expressions of confusion, not understanding why Lin Feng had this request.
The duel between the two, publicly or not, seed to have no impact on the outco!
"This battle, the outco is uncertain, and I might perish, not wanting all tribe mbers to witness this scene!" Lin Feng said blandly, searching for this kind of excuse, though it wasn’t an excuse.
The crowd, upon hearing this, were shocked; Wu Chen actually didn’t have the confidence to defeat the Witch King?
However, after a mont of reflection, they were relieved; the Witch King had twin battle souls, special physique, unparalleled combat power, it was reasonable for Wu Chen to lack confidence.
The Witch King sneered upon hearing this; since he began practicing martial arts, he had never been defeated among the sa rank throughout dozens of stars.
Even the previous Junior Officer Wu Ling could barely beat him by half a move after a thousand exchanges, but wanting to utterly defeat him was impossible!
"Alright!" The High Priest contemplated for a mont, then nodded, this request was simple, and he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
However, regardless of where the duel takes place, no one will fall in this battle.
Because both Wu Chen and Wu Ren Wang are extraordinary geniuses, the High Priest would not sit idly by and let either perish, or it would be a huge loss for the Witch Clan.
"Wu Ren Wang, bring forth the wager first!" At this mont, Lin Feng turned to Wu Ren Wang and said loudly.
Ten thousand pieces of low-grade spirit crystals are a massive fortune, and he naturally would not give them up.
"Humph! Hope you have the life to spend it!" Wu Ren Wang sneered, then waved his arm, sending a small pile of spirit crystals flying toward Lin Feng.
With so many people present, he certainly wouldn’t renege on his debt!
Lin Feng coldly collected the ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals without saying much.
"I will take you both into the starry sky!"
The voice of the High Priest rang out, and suddenly, an invisible great force instantly pulled Lin Feng and Wu Ren Wang to his side.
The next mont, the High Priest, along with Lin Feng and Wu Ren Wang, vanished without a trace.
Then, the four Priests who had been silently watching from the stands, as well as the other core elders, moved swiftly and shot through the sky, disappearing instantly.
All the high-ranking mbers followed the High Priest and headed to the starry sky beyond Tianming Star.
The people in the plaza, watching the disappearance of the clan’s high-ranking mbers, sighed inwardly.
They also wished to witness this peak battle, but their strength was too low, lacking the ability to keep up with the High Priest.
Even ordinary elders like Wu Yuan couldn’t keep up; even if they managed to catch up, the battle would probably be over by the ti they arrived.
The crowd sighed helplessly, but no one left because they all wanted to know the outco.
Soon enough, the High Priest and the core elders will return, and then everyone will know the result.
"Wu Chen is dood!"
This thought arose in many people’s minds; indeed, in the previous three-round assessnt, Wu Chen exhibited astonishing talent and insight, but surpassing Wu Ren Wang in combat power is simply impossible!
Who is Wu Ren Wang?
A peerless genius of the Witch Clan, his combat power is considered demonic; he has never been defeated among those of the sa rank, considering himself the king among n, hence the na—Wu Ren Wang.
Wu Ren Wang’s combat power is top-tier, not only on Tianming Star but also among the surrounding dozen stars.
In the last Junior Officer selection, the equally peerless genius Wu Ling could only narrowly surpass Wu Ren Wang by half a move due to possessing a supre treasure.
Even relying on that supre treasure, Wu Ling fought bitterly through a thousand moves and could only narrowly surpass Wu Ren Wang by half a move, still unable to defeat Wu Ren Wang.
This illustrates how terrifying Wu Ren Wang’s combat power is!
Hence, when Wu Chen faces Wu Ren Wang, defeat is almost certain.
Wu Tianyu, Wu Yuan, and Wu Qiong all wore cold smiles on their faces.
Wu Chen, who had just erged, has yet to shine with his deserved brilliance, only to beco a stepping-stone for Wu Ren Wang!
Wu Tianyu had originally wanted to challenge Wu Chen after the selection ends, but now it seems unnecessary!
Lin Feng, enveloped at the side of the High Priest, traversed through the depths of dark space, feeling terrifying air currents swiftly passing by him.
Fast!
Extrely fast!
The speed of the High Priest was unbelievably fast, as if transcending spatial limits, executing a space jump.
Each flicker could cross an endless distance
Swish!
In just five breaths of ti, the High Priest stopped.
Lin Feng turned his head to survey the surroundings, finding himself in a cold, dark starry sky, with faint starlight shimring from several distant stars.
Tianming Star was already sowhere unknown!
"Here will do!" the High Priest said softly.
Lin Feng and Wu Ren Wang nodded, looking at each other, their fighting spirit fierce.
Swish swish swish swish!!
Just then, shadows flickered, and the four Priests and several core elders arrived at the place.
All the core elders were high-rank Martials Venerates, although their cultivation was strong, they couldn’t match the speed of the High Priest, they arrived under the cover of the qi of the four Priests.
