C385 A battle that cannot be avoided
Following the continuous amplification of these specks of light, Tang Feng's figure also slowly appeared in everyone's line of sight. It was likely that no one did not recognize this direct disciple, who seldom appeared in the academy but possessed a great reputation.
No one knew where Tang Feng had gone to, but most people guessed that Tang Feng had probably gone into closed door cultivation, just that after everyone had broken through and come out yet Tang Feng still did not appear, only at this time did everyone feel that something was amiss.
The only people who knew the whereabouts of Tang Feng were perhaps only the Three Brothers Of Ye Family s as well. Unfortunately, the three of them kept their mouths shut, as though they were unwilling to divulge any information no matter what.
As time passed, everyone could only give up.
But what truly astonished everyone was that even though Tang Feng was only at the Prying Stage level in everyone's memories, they understood that his fighting strength was enough to match up to a strong practitioner in the Spirit Realm. There was no reason for him not to pay attention to this matter.
Moreover, Tang Feng was a direct disciple.
"This time, I'm afraid there's going to be something interesting."
When Tang Feng's figure completely appeared in everyone's line of sight, the originally extremely quiet crowd became restless as well. However, a few intelligent people quietly swept their eyes across Wu Hao and the rest of the group from the corner of their eyes. As expected, the three of them had stunned expressions on their faces, as they had not expected Tang Feng to appear here at this time.
It had to be known that Ling Xuan had said before, that this time, there were only three spots to compete for Holy Mountain Academy. If nothing went wrong, Wu Hao and the other two would represent their Spirit Mountain Academy and fight for glory. After all, regardless of identity or strength, the three of them were all outstanding students, and Wu Hao's strength neared his Rotatory Tribulation Stage.
They clearly understood that the three of them possessed the strength to fight those who had a higher cultivation level. This was also why the moment the three of them appeared, the other students who had originally wanted to fight alongside Ling Xuan immediately gave up.
One must know that a week ago, the three students had accepted their first challenge from a group of students. However, their battle results made everyone feel ashamed, as no one under the same level could withstand twenty rounds from Wu Hao and the other two.
And that was even when they were holding back. If they truly stood up on their fates, they were all worried if they could endure for ten rounds.
This kind of combat strength, was comparable to an expert's Mystic Rotatory Tribulation Stage.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was not strange that the three of them would be representing Spirit Mountain Academy in the battle this time around. After all, it was likely that none of the students would be able to say that they could win against the three of them.
But if Tang Feng appeared, things would become interesting.
It had to be known that among Ling Xuan's five direct disciples, Han Yun had long ago spread word that he was killed by Tang Feng. No one knew the reason why, but looking at the attitude of Ling Xuan and the others, it was clear that the academy did not blame Tang Feng in the slightest.
Let's not talk about the whole thing first, but from the fact that Tang Feng was able to kill Han Yun, it was enough to tell Tang Feng's strength and methods, which was enough to make the direct disciple feel fearful.
And now that Tang Feng had returned, it was obvious from his previous words that Tang Feng also wanted to participate in this so-called battle with Holy Mountain Academy.
"Secret realm?"
As Tang Feng got closer, he gradually released the aura on his body. The spreading of this aura caused many people to be shocked. That was because they actually felt a stifling rhythm in their chests under this aura. The pressure from this hidden aura caused traces of stagnation to appear in their blood.
One had to know that only those with strength at the level of Mystic Stage Level would be able to cause such oppression!
And one month ago, Tang Feng was only at the Prying Stage!
When Tang Feng was at the Prying Stage back then, he was already able to fight with strong practitioners from the Rotatory Pulse Stage. Now that his strength had risen to the secret realm, it was unknown just how much his combat power would rise again.
However, everyone was clear that the three selected this time around would not be as simple as everyone had imagined.
Tang Feng's appearance also caused traces of fluctuations to be emitted out from the depths of his eyes. This time, Tang Feng left the Ling Xuan Academy with the heavy responsibility of doing so, so they naturally knew what his goal was. However, when they looked around, they were a little disappointed, because the mysterious old man whom they had imagined was not beside Tang Feng.
The only one who looked to be a twelve to thirteen year old child was following Tang Feng.
No one knew who this strange child was, but it was obvious that everyone's attention was not on this.
"Master, Elder Ling Dao!"
Steadying his body, Tang Feng also bowed extremely respectfully towards Ling Xuan and Ling Dao. However, Xiao Ling, who was beside him, curled his lips and immediately turned his body, ignoring the so called Spirit Mountain Academy Helmsman!
Towards Xiao Ling's attitude, Tang Feng felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice. After all, it was unrealistic for the majestic Spirit King to be so respectful to Ling Xuan. Even the mysterious old man from back then had not reached this step.
If he was forced to do this, once he infuriated her, the entire Spirit Mountain Academy would probably become a mess. After all, Tang Feng did not think that Ling Xuan or Ling Dao could be a match for Xiao Ling.
However, when Tang Feng was not clear about it, his considerations were unnecessary, because no one cared about it. Everyone just thought that Tang Feng had brought a child here, and since the brat did not know the rules, he would naturally not let everyone think it was anything special.
"Only three spots."
Nodding to Tang Feng, Ling Xuan did not nag any further, and spoke in a low voice.
As these words fell, it caused everyone's breathing to become heavy. They clearly understood that in order to obtain this slot, Ling Xuan had to win against any one of them!
Everyone's gaze fell on Tang Feng, no one knew who Tang Feng would choose to fight.
However, under normal circumstances, choosing either Yin Yuner or Jiang Ying would have a slightly higher chance of victory. It has to be said that Wu Hao was the earliest and first to step into the Mystic Stage Level. No one knew how strong he actually was, but what was certain was that among the disciples of Spirit Mountain Academy, no one had ever won a single and a half moves from him.
It had to be said that Tang Feng's speed of improvement had shocked everyone present. Back then, the three of them had speculated that Tang Feng might have stepped into the Secret Realm after absorbing enough Soul Volume, and it seemed like their guesses were correct.
It was just that he did not know how much Tang Feng's fighting strength had increased.
Thinking to this point, hot blood also surged through Wu Hao's body. It was already very difficult to find anyone within the same level of students that could make his blood boil.
But for some reason, Tang Feng's appearance gave him the urge to fight. This feeling had not appeared for a very long time.
It had to be said that although he knew that Tang Feng had chosen to lose because of him, he still hoped that the current Tang Feng would choose to lose because he wanted to see how far his youngest junior brother had grown.
"If it really doesn't work, then you'll have one versus three."
Just as everyone was waiting for Tang Feng to pick his opponent, Xiao Ling said impatiently. In his eyes, Wu Hao and the other two were just like ants, if he was willing, he could directly strangle them to death in an instant.
He was not the least bit interested in a battle of this level.
However, this somewhat impatient sentence instantly set off a monstrous wave within the crowd. Even the complexion of the normally good-natured Jiang Ying slightly changed.
Even though these words were spoken by a child, it was still too presumptuous.
He really didn't know how much confidence he had in Tang Feng or how much disdain he had for the three of them.
Fighting three by himself, forget about Tang Feng who had just stepped into the secret realm, even someone at the Rotatory Tribulation Stage level wouldn't dare to praise this kind of entrance.
One had to know that they were not only strong practitioners from the secret realms, they were also Ling Xuan's direct disciples.
"Little friend, you seem a little special."
He had long told Xiao Ling to not speak, but he did not expect that he would still not be able to control himself. Before Tang Feng could stop him, Ling Xuan's words had already caused a bitter look on Tang Feng's face.
After all, although Xiao Ling had hidden his aura extremely well, the way he spoke and the imposing manner that only experts had, allowed these experienced experts to see what was so special about him.
Just as expected, the faces of the experts in the sky all changed, their gazes landing on Xiao Ling.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ling did not have any fear towards these somewhat alert gazes, even if there were many people here, but if they were to fight, he did not have the slightest fear.
"Master, please do not be angry over this matter. I will explain later."
Seeing that, Tang Feng immediately pulled Xiao Ling behind him and said slowly. He did not wish for Xiao Ling to have a mysterious conflict with the Spirit Mountain Academy, if that were to happen, the matter would become troublesome.
Tang Feng's strange actions also surprised Ling Xuan and the others, but they still nodded their heads in the end. They still had 100% trust in Tang Feng.
However, when their gazes landed on Xiao Ling, the hearts of Ling Xuan and the others slightly sunk, because when they looked at Xiao Ling, they could clearly feel that Xiao Ling did not seem to have any fear at all!
This situation was too strange.
"Let me test just how powerful you are now."
Just at this time, Yin Yuner's voice suddenly came out, and the appearance of this voice, once again attracted everyone's attention.
Really?!
Turning his head, Tang Feng also let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately shrugged, and did not expect that he would still have to walk this far in the end …
