“This?” The spectators stared dumbfoundedly at this scene.

No one had expected that Lin Feng would be so domineering, sending Xuanyuan Yu flying with a single kick.

Could it be that this fellow wasn’t worried about Xuanyuan Zhan who was in the Jialan Academy?

“Brat, you…” Xuanyuan Yu’s expression became incomparably gloomy. He was being trampled upon and felt unprecedented humiliation.

Through his years, Xuanyuan Yu had never felt this way before.

“Take out the banknotes worth 15 million taels of silver and give it to me. Then I can give some face to the Xuanyuan Clan and spare you today,” Lin Feng coldly spoke.

Right now, Xuanyuan Yu wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Feng into pieces.

However, he knew that he wasn’t Lin Feng’s opponent. In addition, this brat seemed to have no worries at all. Xuanyuan Yu couldn’t tell Lin Feng’s origins.

Xuanyuan Yu was very clear that outside of the Jialan City, there were many major powers too.

Jialan City was merely one of the main cities of the True Martial Country and their ranking wasn’t at the front. The powers in Jialan City couldn’t even be considered powers from the perspective of the entire True Martial Country. At most, they could only be considered one in their own territory.

Hence, Xuanyuan Yu wanted to temporarily submit. After that, he would do an investigation of Lin Feng’s identity before making a decision on how to handle him. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold. Xuanyuan Yu found an excuse to console himself. He endured the flames of anger in his heart and stated, “Okay, I will give you the money.”

Lin Feng retracted his right leg that was trampling on Xuanyuan Yu and let him crawl to a standing position. Xuanyuan Yu had a face filled with humiliation as he took out 15 million taels of silver.

This money was given to him by an elder in his clan before he came out, and the purpose of it was to purchase a large bulk of medicinal herbs. Now, in order to save himself, he had no choice but to hand the money over to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng kept the banknotes and coldly stared at Xuanyuan Yu. “You can scram now.”

Xuanyuan Yu felt hatred in his heart. However, he knew he wasn’t a match for Lin Feng and could only conceal his resentment. He hurriedly fled in the opposite direction and soon vanished from the sights of everyone.

The people in the surroundings also gradually dispersed. However, many people were still discussing this matter. That battle earlier was truly fascinating. Who could have thought that the young master of a major clan would actually suffer a disadvantage?

He walked toward the young cultivator selling the black spirit root and took out 5 million taels of silver, passing it to him.

After that, Lin Feng collected the black spirit root.

“Sir, how should I address you as?” This young cultivator felt a little bewildered. He didn’t expect someone would actually spend 5 million taels of silver to buy the black spirit root. However, he soon regained his calmness.

“Lin Feng, Jialan Academy.”

That young cultivator nodded. He then turned and walked away.

“Little brother, you were fooled. At most, the black spirit root only cost slightly over 300,000 taels. It’s a far cry from the 5 million you paid.”

“That’s right, little brother. That fellow is clearly out to cheat your money.”

Many people started to comment.

Lin Feng smiled and bid farewell to the crowd.

How could he not know that the black spirit root wasn’t worth 5 million taels of silver?

However, Lin Feng’s personality was innately kind. He decided to lend a helping hand to the young man seeing that he was in trouble. It could be considered as him accumulating some virtue as well.

The days after that returned to normal. Lin Feng would cultivate assiduously every day, hoping to break through to the Martial Master Realm as quickly as possible.

But clearly, it wasn’t an easy task to do so.

“There are still two more months until the inter-competition. I hope that I will be able to break through before then,” Lin Feng silently mumbled to himself.

The inter-competition naturally referred to the competition between the four branch courts.

This competition was only held once every three years, and through it, the genius students would be ranked by the academy.

Those who ranked nearer to the front would be able to win glory and great rewards!
