45 Invitation of the Summit, Part Two (1/2)
_Inside the garden..._
Zhao Feng soon recovered after he watched the two of them walk out. He wanted to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and explore the outside world. A small city like Sun Feather City wouldn’t be able to chain him.
Zhao Feng only focused on cultivating from then on, training finger skills and movement skills, then inner strength skills and on to body strengthening techniques. He didn’t know that the younger generation’s geniuses had received an invitation to attend the genius summit. The invitation came from the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, so all the youths were ready to show off their skills.
****************************
_Later that night..._
Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, Zhao Qin, Zhao Ling all received their invites. Not everyone was able to receive invitations. Apparently, those that could be selected had to be at least at the fourth rank.
Zhao Feng didn’t know anything about this. Zhao Yufei was pacing around in her house, wondering if she should tell him the news.
******************************
_The third day after the invitations were sent out..._
Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His body suddenly gave off an unrestrained aura.
_Hu~_
The force swept past everything in view, rattling the windows and blowing the chairs away. The youth’s eyes snapped open and two arcs of lightning seemed to flash through them.
“My Inner Strength has reached the sixth rank.” Excitement and happiness flashed in his eyes, but instantly he circulated Withering Wood Technique and suppressed it to the fifth rank.
The reason why his Inner Strength reached the sixth rank so quickly was because of the cave. Even Metal Wall Technique was now only half a step away from the fifth level.
Once Metal Wall Technique reached the fifth rank, the cultivator not only had a body of steel, they could also shatter weapons with just their body. It also meant that those weaker than Zhao Feng would harm themselves from the recoil. At this moment, his Metal Wall Technique was infinitely close to the fifth level and his cultivation was almost at the sixth.
“My cultivation level and Metal Wall Technique will break through in the next two days or so.” Zhao Feng was full of expectation.
The sixth rank of the Martial Path and the fifth level of Metal Wall Technique. Zhao Feng had confidence that he could beat any disciple within the Zhao sect if he fought any of them.
*******************************
_On the same day, inside an old but glorious garden within the Zhao sect..._
“Sixth rank of the Martial Path…faster than I expected.” Zhao Linlong was clothed in his usual gold robe as he stood up and a powerful aura surged around him.
_Hu!_
He released a dominating aura and everything within a few meters radius was ripped into shreds.
“Not bad, you’re only eighteen years old and you’ve reached the sixth rank. This breaks Sun Feather’s City’s record!” The head of the sect, Zhao Tiancang, looked approvingly at him.
“If I didn’t have a thousand year blood plant and didn’t have stepfather performing the Inner Strength Vein Opener technique, I wouldn’t have been able to reach the sixth rank so quickly,” Zhao Linlong acknowledged humbly.
Although he had reached the sixth rank, he still was small and tiny compared to his stepfather. The difference between the sixth and seventh rank was massive, just like the third and fourth ranks. Only one in ten cultivators progressed to the fourth rank. And out of the sixth ranked cultivators, there was only one in a hundred of them that progressed to the seventh rank.
“Next, you need to concentrate on martial arts. The Genius Summit is close, you’d better earn some face for the Zhao sect,” Zhao Tiancang said, smiling.
“Don’t worry, stepfather, no one can stop me apart from Xin Wuheng. And according to the rumors, Xin Wuheng is only at the peak fifth rank. I have at least sixty percent a chance of beating him,” Zhao Linlong said confidently.
**************
Time passed quickly.
The days until the Genius Summit crept closer and closer. Sun Feather City became busier and busier as the summit approached.
Some came just to see the most beautiful girl’s figure.
At this time, the information that Zhao Linlong had reached the sixth rank spread like wildfire throughout Sun Feather City. This obviously shocked countless youngsters and caused waves in the three major powers.
Sixth rank of the Martial Path!
For those youngsters, this was an incredible feat. There was no one comparable with Zhao Linlong in Sun Feather City. However, no one knew that Zhao Linlong was not the only one who had reached the sixth rank.
******************
_In a garden of the Zhao sect..._
A youth started to walk on air, his after-images blurred throughout the area.
_Teng!_
Zhao Feng’s body landed on the ground as lightly as a leaf. If one looked closely, they would realize that Zhao Feng’s figure was even straighter now. His body was much bigger than that of an average adult, even though he was only fourteen years old.
His cultivation and Metal Wall Technique had both broken through seven days ago. At that time, he was completely confident that no one would be his opponent in Sun Feather City.
He had been trying to gain insights from Star Finger and Lightly Micro Step the past few days. Lightly Micro Step had reached the peak level.
Now, Zhao Feng concentrated on Star Finger. His Star Finger had finally been trained to the third grade.
