Although Chu Feng felt puzzled in his heart.
He would not just sit and wait for death when facing this yellow-faced elder’s attack.
Whoosh.
Just as Chu Feng was about to make his move, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him.
It was Duan Liufeng, Elder Duan. He raised his hand and struck out a palm, meeting the yellow-faced elder’s incoming palm head-on.
Boom.
When the two palms collided, Duan Liufeng did not retreat even half a step.
But the yellow-faced elder not only staggered back several steps, he also hurriedly grabbed the wrist of the hand he had just used with his other hand. His face twisted in clear pain.
This was because Duan Liufeng’s cultivation far surpassed that of the yellow-faced elder.
“Fifth-rank Supreme?”
“Duan Liufeng, your cultivation has actually improved?”
People looked at Duan Liufeng with eyes full of surprise.
Yet this surprise seemed somewhat strange and hard to understand.
For martial cultivators, an increase in cultivation was the most normal thing in the world.
But for these people to be so shocked made it feel abnormal.
This made Chu Feng realise that there must be something unusual going on here.
“Elder Qian, even if the disciple I brought back said something inappropriate, it is not your place to teach him a lesson. Besides, I think what he said was not wrong at all.”
Duan Liufeng said to the yellow-faced old man.
“Humph.”
The yellow-faced old man let out a light snort. He was extremely displeased, but since his skill was inferior, he could only swallow his anger.
However, looking at the way this fellow stared at Duan Liufeng, it was clear he harboured deep resentment. He probably would not let the matter rest.
“Chu Feng, go and line up for the test.”
“Remember what I told you earlier.”
Duan Liufeng said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not delay. He immediately joined the queue of those waiting for the test.
“Hua Xu, you go too.”
The yellow-faced old man said to the demonic race youth he had brought along.
The demonic race youth named Hua Xu understood perfectly. He followed right behind Chu Feng and joined the queue as well.
“You actually dared to speak up and offend the elder who brought me in.”
“Just wait. I will make you lose all face in a moment.”
A secret voice transmission reached Chu Feng’s ears. The speaker was none other than Hua Xu standing behind him.
Chu Feng did not even bother to respond. He had seen far too many people like this.
There was nothing worth saying to such a person. He just needed to find an opportunity to teach him a harsh lesson. Once he beat them badly enough, they would not dare to act arrogantly again.
If they still dared to act up after that, he would keep teaching them until they no longer had the courage.
Watching the test results of those ahead, Chu Feng already knew that this test was not simple.
At least from what he had seen, only about twenty percent of the people passed. The remaining eighty percent were all eliminated miserably.
Finally, it was Chu Feng’s turn.
In truth, while other disciples were taking the test, apart from the elders who had brought them into the Lying Dragon Martial Sect, most of the elders paid no attention. They were busy chatting among themselves.
But when it came to Chu Feng’s turn, quite a few elders turned their gazes toward him.
The reason they paid such attention was most likely related to Elder Duan Liufeng.
Chu Feng always felt that these people harboured great hostility toward Elder Duan.
But right now, Chu Feng had no time to figure out too much. What he needed to do was pass the test and stay here.
Chu Feng stepped onto the first stone platform. The word “Will” was written on it.
This meant it was a test of willpower.
Chu Feng’s willpower far exceeded that of ordinary people. He was full of confidence in this willpower test.
Buzz.
Yet the moment he stepped on it, Chu Feng’s confidence wavered.
He could feel a power surging out from the stone platform and entering his body.
This was precisely the test of willpower.
Under normal circumstances, with his level of willpower, Chu Feng could easily withstand this degree of test.
But at this moment, Chu Feng felt it was somewhat difficult to endure.
Most importantly, the stone platform beneath his feet had not yet released any light.
The three stone platforms tested willpower, potential, and bloodline respectively.
If even one failed, the person would be eliminated.
Chu Feng had to make every single platform release light.
“Is the influence of the Lying Dragon Soul Armour really this great?”
Only now did Chu Feng finally understand why that mysterious existence told him not to let anyone know he had come from the Lying Dragon Selection Formation. Instead, it went to great lengths to make Duan Liufeng his guiding elder.
With Chu Feng’s current cultivation and abilities, if he told anyone the truth, no one would believe him anyway.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth and persevered. He finally endured the first round of the trial.
However, when the second round came, Chu Feng could no longer hold on.
Fortunately, the stone platform beneath him had already lit up with white radiance. Although he could not push further, Chu Feng had at least passed the first platform’s test.
Next, Chu Feng stepped onto the second platform and then the third.
Although both the second and third platforms also released white radiance, only Chu Feng himself knew how narrowly he had passed each one.
But for him, this was enough. As long as he could stay, that was all that mattered.
Although Chu Feng also cared about the results of this test, he knew exactly how capable he was. There was no need to rush.
One day, the name of Chu Feng would resound throughout the entire Lying Dragon Martial Sect.
After all, the one he needed to save was Zi Ling, who was already quite famous within the Lying Dragon Martial Sect.
“Elder Duan, you have not brought back a disciple in three thousand years.”
“Now that you finally brought one back, I thought it would be someone extraordinary. I never expected it to be just a disciple of this level.”
Seeing Chu Feng’s performance, although the yellow-faced elder did not speak again, the other elders began to mock and ridicule once more.
It was clear that Elder Duan had offended quite a number of people here.
Buzz.
But before people could mock Duan Liufeng any further, all eyes turned toward the stone platform.
If most of the elders had already paid attention when Chu Feng stepped onto the platforms earlier.
Then at this moment, the stone platform attracted the attention of every elder and disciple present.
Even Chu Feng was no exception.
Before this, most people who passed the test only caused the platforms to bloom with white radiance. Only a very few individuals had caused certain platforms to bloom with grey radiance.
But now, the platform was blooming with faint blue radiance.
Most importantly, the person standing on that platform right now was none other than the disciple brought back by the yellow-faced elder.
The demonic race youth named Hua Xu.
And just as Chu Feng looked toward Hua Xu, Hua Xu was also looking at Chu Feng.
His face was filled with smug triumph.
