Chapter 6 Pushing Forward Overwhelmingly
Silence!
In the midst of the mountains and forests!
So silent that you could hear a pin drop!
Those Inner Sect Disciples, one by one, felt as though something was squeezing their throats, rendering them speechless.
In the hearts of each of them was only deep shock.
The scene unfolding before their eyes indeed shocked their very souls.
A newcomer, relying solely on his aura, obliterated over a dozen War Spirits in an instant.
This was simply like a fantastical tale, too marvelous to believe.
Yet now, it had truly happened right before their eyes.
"This guy, who exactly is he? To be terrifying to this extent..."
One after another, the Inner Academy Disciples looked towards Lin Feng in utter astonishment.
"These must be just ordinary War Spirits, too weak," Lin Feng murmured, walking deeper into the forest.
Roar!
A roar that shook the heavens erupted, and a War Spirit clad in silvery-white War Armor charged out from the woods.
"An Intermediate War Spirit," many exclaimed.
Ordinary War Spirits, due to their speed and their ability to absorb a Cultivator's power, are challenging foes even for cultivators at the Tenth Level of the Martial King Realm.
Of course, this does not include the average Inner Academy Disciples, but for a genius like Lin Feng, crushing ordinary War Spirits was simple.
But for an Intermediate War Spirit, their combat power increased by a tier; even several dozen ordinary War Spirits ganging up on one might not guarantee a victory over it.
"Junior Brother, be careful, that's an Intermediate War Spirit, with a strength over ten times or even more than that of the ordinary ones."
An Inner Academy Disciple shouted a warning.
Seeing the attacking Intermediate War Spirit, every disciple's face paled a bit.
They knew all too well how formidable the Intermediate War Spirits were. These disciples hastily moved towards the outskirts, ready to flee from the Great Tao Peak at the first sign of trouble.
"Bring it on!" Lin Feng bellowed, throwing a punch at the lunging Intermediate War Spirit.
Bang...
An intense collision resonated, and the ground seemed to tremble fiercely.
Thump thump thump!
After exchanging blows with the Intermediate War Spirit, both Lin Feng and the War Spirit each staggered three steps back.
Although Lin Feng had neither activated his Five Martial Souls to increase his combat power nor used any secret technique, the fact that this Intermediate War Spirit could match Lin Feng blow for blow was already terrifying.
"So strong, he actually withstood the Intermediate War Spirit's attack," the Inner Sect Disciples exclaimed in surprise.
They had originally thought Lin Feng was undoubtedly doomed to lose.
But to their amazement, Lin Feng had fought the Intermediate War Spirit to a standstill.
"To fight an Intermediate War Spirit to a draw is already terrifying. If he cultivates among the Inner Sect for a while, he should be able to defeat one. As for now, defeating an Intermediate War Spirit might still be quite difficult."
An Inner Sect Disciple remarked, and although that was the case, it still left them immensely shocked, especially considering that Lin Feng had just joined the Inner Sect.
The other disciples nodded in agreement, deeply feeling the truth in the disciple's words.
"Roar..."
The Intermediate War Spirit roared again and pounced towards Lin Feng, its body emanating streams of silver light.
"Heavens, no way! This Intermediate War Spirit is surging with silver light. Could it be that this one has comprehended the War Spirit Fist?" someone questioned.
"It must have comprehended the War Spirit Fist. Usually, only High-level War Spirits can grasp the War Spirit Fist, but some Intermediate War Spirits are capable too. An Intermediate War Spirit that has comprehended the War Spirit Fist is far more powerful than an ordinary one. Now that it has unleashed the War Spirit Fist, trouble's brewing; that youngster is likely to be defeated."
"Being defeated is the least of worries. An Intermediate War Spirit that has comprehended the War Spirit Fist, if it fully exerts its power, might even kill that kid."
...
One by one, the Inner Sect Disciples, with pale faces, watched the Intermediate War Spirit that had comprehended the War Spirit Fist, feeling a sense of trepidation from afar at just the presence of the War Spirit.
The strength of the Intermediate War Spirit that comprehended the War Spirit Fist was simply too overpowering.
"Eh, these War Spirits can actually utilize fist skills?"
Lin Feng was slightly astonished.
This was something he had not expected.
However, Lin Feng quickly revealed an indifferent expression, his palm enwreathed with the power of thunder. The Domineering Heaven Thunder Technique began to operate, and the power of thunder was enhanced.
Boom!
Lin Feng struck, punching towards the Intermediate War Spirit in front of him.
"About to collide, isn't that kid going to be directly killed?" the Inner Sect Disciples exclaimed.
Bang...
The next moment, a dull collision sound was heard.
The Intermediate War Spirit that had mastered the War Spirit Fist was blown apart by a punch from Lin Feng.
"Too weak." Lin Feng shook his head and walked deeper, the Intermediate War Spirits posed no threat to him, and Lin Feng set his sights on the more formidable High-level War Spirits.
"This, this, this..." A group of Inner Sect Disciples had completely lost their ability to speak coherently; they didn't even know what to say.
In every person's heart, there was only deep shock and disbelief.
An Intermediate War Spirit that had mastered the War Spirit Fist was actually killed in one punch.
Just how terrifying was this guy's cultivation?
...
At the foot of the Great Tao Peak.
Min Zixing frowned slightly, saying, "It's been such a long time since they went in, how come those two kids haven't come out yet? Haven't they been surrounded by the War Spirits? Or been heavily injured by the War Spirits?"
Sun Chao nodded and said, "If they haven't come out after such a long time, something must have happened. These new disciples really don't know how high the sky is; do they think they can just barge into the Great Tao Peak?"
"Let's go, rescue them and earn some Spirit Stones while we're at it," Min Zixing said.
The surrounding five or six Inner Sect Disciples all revealed smiles.
It was an unwritten rule that if a disciple encountered trouble within the Great Tao Peak, a fellow disciple who came to their rescue would be compensated.
Spirit Stones, elixirs, Magic Artifacts, even secret techniques could be used as compensation.
However, these Inner Sect Disciples preferred Spirit Stones the most because Spirit Stones were cultivation resources that could enhance one's cultivation.
Several disciples flew into the Great Tao Peak but did not see Lin Feng and Tian Zhongdao.
An Inner Sect Disciple named Zhang Chong muttered, "Where did those two kids go? Haven't they been dragged deep inside by those War Spirits? If that's the case, they are most certainly dead, and we're powerless to save them."
"There's Zhou Kai and his group, let's go ask them," pointed out Min Zixing toward where Zhou Kai and the others were.
Zhou Kai and his group were the same group of Inner Sect Disciples from before.
"Senior Zhou, have you seen two new disciples?" asked Min Zixing politely. Zhou Kai was stronger than him, so he held Zhou Kai in high regard.
Zhou Kai's mouth twitched violently, and he said, "Seen them."
"That's great, we came to rescue them, and we can earn some Spirit Stones," Sun Chao said excitedly.
Zhou Kai and his group looked at Sun Chao and the others with odd expressions.
Feeling uneasy under Zhou Kai's gaze, Sun Chao asked, "Senior Brother, did I say something wrong?"
"Just take a look inside, and you'll understand," Zhou Kai pointed toward the depths.
Min Zixing, Sun Chao, and others looked over, their faces drastically changing as they saw Lin Feng walking towards the depths of the mountains.
Min Zixing shouted, "That guy's headed to the Intermediate War Spirit zone; is he trying to get himself killed?"
At that moment, more than a dozen Intermediate War Spirits rushed out from the woods, attacking Lin Feng.
Seeing this, the faces of Min Zixing and the others changed instantly.
Sun Chao's face turned pale as he said, "It's over, more than a dozen Intermediate War Spirits! That kid's doomed for sure, even we're powerless to save him."
But just as Sun Chao's words fell, they saw the dozen Intermediate War Spirits already pouncing towards Lin Feng.
Facing the onslaught of more than a dozen Intermediate War Spirits, Lin Feng swung his fist, blasting one of the Intermediate War Spirits away.
Bang bang bang...
One by one, the Intermediate War Spirits' bodies exploded in mid-air.
With a thump, upon witnessing this scene, Sun Chao was so scared that he fell on his backside to the ground.
