Chapter 1614: Strength of Fifty Dragons
"This kid is acting recklessly!"
The expressions of the four Hall Masters all changed at once. When they saw Ling Feng walk straight toward the stone slab, none of them dared relax in the slightest, afraid he would be crushed into a bloody paste beneath it.
Yet in the very next moment, all four suddenly felt the weight in their hands lighten.
Ling Feng had actually lifted the bluestone slab by sheer force, relying on his strength alone.
"What... what?"
Lei Wensheng stared at Ling Feng, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Was this kid even human?
"I remember now!"
Zuo Feiqing's eyelid twitched as realization struck him.
"Back in the Hall of War, Supreme Elder Xu once said that this boy had mastered the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art and cultivated Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength. Looking at him now, his Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength has already surpassed twenty dragon strength. No, it's even greater than that! I truly cannot imagine how he managed it!"
Ling Feng frowned and said, "Hall Masters, please open one of your dimensional treasures quickly."
Even for him, this bluestone slab was nowhere near impossible to lift, but holding it up like this was still extremely taxing.
The four Hall Masters exchanged glances.
In the end, they decided to let Saint Lady Bi Luo carry the slab with her. Although Saint Lady Hui Yue held the highest status, her injuries were still severe. Saint Lady Bi Luo, on the other hand, excelled most in defense. Even if the Blood Shadow Alliance returned for another attempt, wresting the bluestone slab from her hands would be no easy feat.
In the next moment, Saint Lady Bi Luo waved her slender hand and opened her dimensional spirit ring.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, poured force into both arms, and violently hurled the bluestone slab into Saint Lady Bi Luo's dimensional spirit ring.
"Hah..."
Only after setting it down did Ling Feng finally let out a long breath.
His whole body was drenched in sweat.
This thing was absurdly heavy.
"Well done, kid!"
Lei Wensheng strode over in large steps and circled Ling Feng once before heavily patting him on the shoulder several times.
"You little monster, I like you more and more!"
Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose and gave an embarrassed smile.
"I was only lucky enough to stumble upon a few opportunities."
Even Zuo Feiqing looked at Ling Feng with surprise before asking in a deep voice, "Ling Feng, just how far has your Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength reached?"
Ling Feng replied lightly, "I was fortunate enough to break through to Strength of Fifty Dragons not long ago. Otherwise, I truly would not have been able to lift that stone slab."
"Strength of Fifty Dragons..."
Zuo Feiqing's mouth twitched.
The four Hall Masters looked at one another, and every one of them was shaken to the core.
After a long silence, Lei Wensheng suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha! This time, the geniuses of Wulei Sacred Land and Yunluo Sacred Land are in trouble! Dongling Immortal Pool already has those few freaks, and now we've got an even freakier monster!"
Zuo Feiqing looked at Ling Feng and nodded slightly.
"With Ling Feng's ability, he will certainly claim a place in the Sunset Heaven Selection. He may even contend for the top five."
He could not help feeling deeply moved.
Ling Feng had entered Dongling Immortal Pool less than a year ago, risen from the outer sect disciples, and now become one of the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes.
That alone was astonishing enough.
Yet his strength had continued soaring at an unbelievable pace.
Thank heavens such a talent belonged to Dongling Immortal Pool.
Saint Lady Bi Luo also looked at Ling Feng in a new light and said with a faint smile, "Lin Mu has finally made a reliable friend."
As for Saint Lady Hui Yue, she gazed at Ling Feng with complicated eyes.
When she first met him, she had dismissed him as worthless.
Yet this "worthless" disciple had now saved her life three times, including this latest time.
"Hehe!"
Lei Wensheng hooked an arm around Ling Feng's shoulders and grinned broadly.
"Little Brother Ling, now that everything here is settled, you rescued so many inner sect disciples and even saved several elders along the way. The sect will never shortchange you for a contribution like that. On top of that, your performance in the Hall of War was exceptional. I heard you replaced one of the original Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes and claimed a seat for yourself. Kid, you are the greatest monster of a disciple I've seen in all my years!"
"Ugh... Big Brother Lei flatters me."
Lei Wensheng immediately waved a hand.
"Nonsense. I, Lei Wensheng, never flatter anyone. I call it exactly as I see it."
His eyes lit up as he pulled Ling Feng closer.
"How about this, brother. Once we return to the sect, don't stay in the outer sect any longer. Come to my Profound Thunder Hall. I'll make you a deputy Hall Master on the spot. What do you say?"
"Surname Lei, have you no shame at all?"
The moment Zuo Feiqing heard that, he frowned.
"Little Brother Ling, do not listen to this man. Dongling Immortal Pool has never had such a thing as a deputy Hall Master. If you wish to enter the inner sect, you must follow the proper process step by step. Of course, if you are willing to join my Tempest Wind Hall, I would welcome you wholeheartedly and accept you immediately as my direct disciple!"
"Surname Zuo, you really have to fight me for him?"
Lei Wensheng's eyes widened instantly.
Zuo Feiqing refused to back down.
The two had been rivals for decades, and neither had ever accepted defeat against the other.
"Enough, both of you."
Saint Lady Bi Luo shook her head, utterly speechless.
"Have you both forgotten what the Sect Master Supreme once said? Whoever claimed first merit in the Hall of War could ask for one promise from him. Naturally, Ling Feng will become the Sect Master Supreme's direct disciple. What exactly are you two fighting over?"
Only then did Lei Wensheng and Zuo Feiqing stop arguing.
Even so, Lei Wensheng still refused to give up.
"Little Brother Ling, honestly, there's nothing special about the Sect Leader's side. How can it compare to our Profound Thunder Hall? If you join us, I'm number one and you're number two. Whatever happens, we brothers can settle it between ourselves!"
Ling Feng could only laugh helplessly.
"Big Brother Lei, after I return, I'll give it serious thought."
"Good! No rush, but Little Brother Ling, make sure you think it through carefully!"
Lei Wensheng rubbed his hands together excitedly.
The Sunset Heaven Selection was approaching fast.
With Ling Feng's ability, he would undoubtedly shine brilliantly there.
If he became a disciple of Profound Thunder Hall, it would bring enormous glory to their hall.
After all, aside from Lei Wensheng himself, Profound Thunder Hall had very few elders and even fewer disciples. In overall strength, it ranked dead last among the eight halls.
It could not be helped.
Among the Three Great Sacred Lands stood Wulei Sacred Land, a place devoted entirely to thunder cultivation.
Most geniuses who cultivated thunder attribute martial arts naturally flocked there, leaving Profound Thunder Hall deserted, which was only to be expected.
In truth, Ling Feng had no intention of becoming the Sect Master's disciple, nor had he considered joining any of the eight halls.
Ever since entering Dongling Immortal Pool, he had already counted as half a disciple of Elder Gui.
Once he advanced into the inner sect, Elder Gui would surely come looking for him on his own.
Whether he would truly take Elder Gui as master was another matter, but he still wanted to hear what advice the old man had to offer.
Deep down, Ling Feng kept feeling that Elder Gui's warning about Dongling Immortal Pool facing a great calamity was no empty talk.
What happened at Dongxianchuan this time might only be the beginning.
