Peerless Martial God - C56 The First Person in the Outer Court
C56 The First Person in the Outer Court
Lin Feng’s gaze turned, only to see a young man with evil intent speaking coldly to another, whose tone filled with command.
The other person that Lin Feng had met before was called Shen Chen. Like him, he was an outer sect disciple. However, his reputation was much more resounding than Lin Feng’s.
“I already chose this martial skill.” Shen Chen coldly stared at the young man beside him. It wasn’t uncommon for inner disciples to bully an outer disciple, but he, Shen Chen, was no pushover.
“Presumptuous! You’re an outer court disciple, yet you dare to refuse me.” The young man let out an angry roar as he released his aura, appearing extremely tyrannical.
“Humph, Li Lin, don’t think that I don’t know you. One of the weakest inner court disciples who only dares to show off in front of the outer disciples. This time in the sect competition, I, Shen Chen, will fight you and send you down from the inner court.” Shen Chen did not retreat at all as he coldly said.
“Shen Chen, this brat is Shen Chen. Hur Hur, we’ll have something to watch from here.” The people on the second floor of the Star Pavilion all looked over. Shen Chen was right. This Li Lin was too weak and useless among the inner disciples. So he often played with prestige in front of the outer disciples. But he did not expect to encounter a tough guy this time.
Shen Chen was the number one outer disciple. No one in the outer sect could match his Raging Flames Martial Soul and his tyrannical Supreme Fire Sword Art. It was a definite matter that he would step into the inner sect this time.
Sure enough, when Li Lin heard the two words ‘Shen Chen’, his face stiffened. He had heard of Shen Chen’s strength before, and it was very impressive. He never thought that he would be so unlucky as to bully him.
“It’s a misunderstanding. I won’t be looking at that martial skill.” Li Lin’s attitude changed extremely fast, and he immediately walked away.
Laughter sounded out. The crowd secretly thought that this Li Lin was really useless. An outer court disciple actually scared him to such an extent, making him lose face for the inner disciples.
“What are you laughing about? Do you believe that I will cripple you?”
Li Lin felt a peculiar sense of shame and anger. Feeling that everyone was laughing at him, including Lin Feng, he shouted furiously at Lin Feng.
He could not afford to offend Shen Chen, but could he not afford to offend this outer disciple?
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Feng was stunned. Was he smiling?
From start to finish, he didn’t show any expression. He only secretly shook his head in his heart. This Li Lin didn’t dare to find anyone else and treated him as a punching bag?
“He is really someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong.” A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. He couldn’t afford to offend Shen Chen, but could he really afford to offend him?
However, Lin Feng was too lazy to bother with this kind of person. Since he had already chosen the art and martial skills he needed, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
Raising his feet, Lin Feng prepared to leave.
“Stop, you outer court disciple dare to ignore me.” Li Lin’s face was gloomy as he took a step forward, blocking in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng sneered in his heart. It seemed that this guy was determined to use him to gain back some face, and was treating him like a soft persimmon.
“Outer sect trash? It seems that you’ve lost face to an outer sect disciple just now.”
Lin Feng teasingly said. This guy really had no sense of shame.
With Lin Feng poking at his sore spot, Li Lin’s expression instantly turned even more sinister. His gaze was like a poisonous snake as he stared fixedly at Lin Feng.
“You are courting death.”
“You’re right.” Lin Feng sneered, “Li Lin, right? I’ll remember you. During the sect competition, we will meet on the Platform of Life and Death at the Wind and Cloud Gorge.”
When Lin Feng said this, everyone instantly revealed a teasing expression. Lin Feng actually dared to challenge Li Lin, and it was a life and death battle.
“Interesting.” Everyone secretly exclaimed, while Li Lin’s expression was clearly a bit stiff. His eyes flickered with uncertainty. Lin Feng actually dared to challenge him for a duel. Could it be that he was very strong?
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Li Lin had no way back. It didn’t matter for him to be scared by Shen Chen. If he was scared by Lin Feng, the outer sect disciple, then he would not have the face to stay in the Cloud Sea Sect any longer.
Li Lin turned around and left directly.
Lin Feng sneered in his heart and did not put Li Lin in his eyes at all. If he could not even defeat the weakest of the inner disciples right now, how could he talk about martial tao?
“Hehe, what is your name? To be able to enter this level means that you have already entered the Spiritual Martial Stage. How come I have never seen you before?” As the number one outer sect disciple, Shen Chen recognized the strongest people in the outer sect disciples. He knew that a few of them had entered the Spiritual Martial Soul and were preparing to enter the inner sect in this sect competition.
But Shen Chen had never seen Lin Feng before.
“Lin Feng, it is normal that you have never met a nobody.” Lin Feng replied with a faint smile.
“Trash Lin Feng?” Shen Chen was stunned. He had never seen this person before, but he had heard of this name a few times.
“Hehe, it seems like the rumors are not to be trusted. How can there be trash in the Spiritual Martial Soul?” Shen Chen smiled and shook his head, changing the topic, “However, although we are both outer sect disciples, there is still a gap between us. For example, the difference between you and me is thousands of miles, and there is no way to compare. Moreover, I will soon be an inner disciple.”
Lin Feng was slightly stunned for a moment. He understood that Shen Chen was referring to the words he said to Li Lin just now, “You seem to have lost face to an outer sect disciple.”
From Shen Chen’s point of view, Lin Feng’s words were like comparing himself to him. In Shen Chen’s eyes, Lin Feng was not even worthy of being compared to him. As he said, the difference was tens of thousands of miles and there was no way to compare.
“It seems you are very confident.” Lin Feng was not angered at all as he smilingly replied.
“At least among the outer sect disciples, I am second, and no one dares to claim to be first.” Shen Chen replied.
“Fine, I heard that Outer Sect disciples are only allowed to stay on the second floor of the Star Pavilion for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You’re so powerful, so do you dare to stay longer?” Lin Feng asked with a smile.
You don’t need to use words to provoke me. On the second level of the Star Pavilion, any outer disciple is only allowed to stay for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Even I am no exception. Of course, others are even more ineligible” Shen Chen said disdainfully. How could the rules of the Cloud Sea Sect be changed by the outer sect disciples?
“Is that so?” Lin Feng’s eyes revealed an interesting smile, “I’ve also been here for a while, but I still want to stay for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You’re so powerful and you’re the number one outer sect disciple, so you should have no problem.”
“Are you joking? You dare to stay for another incense stick of time?” Shen Chen sneered, his voice full of disdain.
“Can’t you just watch from here?” There is a meaningful smile in the corner of his mouth. He ignored Shen Chen and continued flipping through his martial skills. Although he did not train in them, it would not be bad for him to get a better understanding of them.
“Could this fellow be crazy? He actually dared to say he would stay here for another incense stick of time.” The inner disciples on the second floor of the Star Pavilion all had interesting expressions on their faces. They all started to pay attention to Lin Feng as they wanted to see how long he would dare to last.
“Humph.” Shen Chen coldly snorted. Lin Feng had arrived before him hence he was not anxious. He wanted to see how long Lin Feng could keep up with his lies.
The time it took for half an incense stick to burn passed quickly. Shen Chen put down the martial skill in his hands and frowned slightly. He did not have much time left.
Looking at Lin Feng, he was still lazily leaning on the martial arts bookshelf with an indifferent face, as if he did not notice the passage of time.
“I want to see how long you can keep pretending.” Shen Chen did not have the mood to choose any martial skills. Since he would enter the inner sect sooner or later, he was not in a hurry to choose any martial skill. He looked at Lin Feng and was ready to see him make a fool of himself.
However, Shen Chen seemed to be disappointed. After a short period of time, Lin Feng still did not have the slightest reaction, as if he did not have any concept of time.
“Why aren’t you leaving? Are you trying to court death?” Shen Chen was no longer able to maintain his calm. It was almost time for him to leave. If he did not leave now, he would break the rules of the Cloud Sea Sect, and the consequences would be dire.
“I’m not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for? The number one outer court disciple, genius!” Lin Feng’s tone was indifferent, but anyone could hear the sarcasm in his voice.
Shen Chen’s eyes turned cold as he said, “You’re courting death. I won’t be accompanying you anymore. I want to see how you’ll explain yourself when you get down.”
After speaking coldly, Shen Chen turned and walked out of the Star Pavilion.
“The number one disciple in the outer court? He’s nothing more than a scoundrel.” Lin Feng sneered, causing Shen Chen’s footsteps to pause and killing intent in his eyes flickered.
