Chapter 162: Chapter 51: The 27th on the Mountain River List

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, circulating the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to regulate his breathing.

Despite winning the battle against Yuwen Chenxing, the energy he had expended was immense.

Even with Lin Feng’s substantial reserves, he felt a deep fatigue.

After recovering his breath for a while, Lin Feng felt almost fully rejuvenated. He opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed through them.

The battle with Yuwen Chenxing had been extremely tough, but in the end, he had emerged victorious.

Moreover, dueling with a warrior of Yuwen Chenxing’s caliber greatly enhanced Lin Feng’s combat experience and also had an enormous effect on the advancement of his cultivation.

...

The next day, Lin Feng assembled his team, continuing toward the depths of the Ancient Forest. There were twenty people in his team, all elite among the newcomers. The average teams of older students would keep their distance upon seeing Lin Feng’s team, not daring to provoke them. Now that Lin Feng’s team had incorporated members like Long Shiyou, they were even more formidable. Having already defeated four teams of older students, ordinary teams naturally steered clear.

As Lin Feng and his group delved deeper, they finally reached the heart of the Ancient Forest.

In the distance, the mountains undulated.

On a mountain peak, an older student peered down at Lin Feng and his companions. When this student saw Lin Feng’s group approaching, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and he swept down to the mountainside.

There, ten older students were resting.

“Captain, those guys are coming…” The student spoke to a tall and handsome young man.

This handsome young man was the most fearsome figure in the assessment of the newcomers, Huangfuyu, who ranked twenty-seventh on the Mountain River List.

“Haha, they finally arrived? I can barely wait to see what kind of person is the one who defeated Yuwen Chenxing,” some of the older students started laughing.

They all appeared at ease.

Obviously, they didn’t take Lin Feng and his teammates seriously.

Or rather, they were exceedingly confident in themselves.

Because everyone in this team was a strong contender from the Mountain River List.

And the captain, being a powerful figure at twenty-seventh on the list, although they numbered only eleven, was enough to sweep through any team. These people had confidence in themselves.

“Let’s go meet them.”

Huangfuyu stood up and swept down toward the base of the mountain.

…

“Captain, once we cross over this mountain, we should be at the endpoint of the assessment,” a newcomer said.

Lin Feng nodded, “Everyone, be careful.”

“Yes,” they all nodded.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Just then, sounds of breaking through the air came from within the forest.

Long Shiyou said, “Someone is coming.”

No sooner had Long Shiyou’s words fallen than eleven figures leaped out from within the forest.

It was Huangfuyu and his group.

“It’s Huangfuyu.”

“Oh my god, why is it him?”

“Huangfuyu! A figure ranked twenty-seventh on the Mountain River List; rumor has it he’s already half-stepped into the Martial General Realm.”

“We’re doomed; I’m afraid we’re about to be completely wiped out.”

Clearly, many recognized the fearsome figure of “Huangfuyu,” and at this moment, their faces paled.

Yuwen Chenxing, with his rank of forty-ninth on the Mountain River List, had already been so powerful and difficult to deal with—how much more daunting would Huangfuyu be at his level of existence?

Even Yuwen Chenxing would likely not last ten moves in Huangfuyu’s hands.

“Is that Yang Lei? A strong contender at sixty-seventh on the Mountain River List?”

“Is that Guo Fei? Ranked ninety-fifth on the Mountain River List?”

“Oh my god, they’re all strong contenders from the Mountain River List…”

It quickly became apparent to everyone that the team of older students in front of them was not only composed of Huangfuyu from the Mountain River List. All the others were also strong contenders on the list.

This realization made many of the newcomers’ faces turn white.

Clearly, everyone felt an extremely heavy pressure.

Lin Feng said, “What’s there to fear? We’ve already come this far. If we die, we aim for the heavens; if we don’t, we live for ages. With one last fight, even if we lose, what of it? That too would be a defeat with honor.”

“That’s right, one last fight.”

The rest of the newcomers were also inspired by Lin Feng’s words.

“It’s actually Huangfuyu leading the team himself, with ten members who are all strong contenders from the Mountain River List. This team is just too terrifying. How could Lin Feng and the others possibly defeat this team?”

This battle naturally attracted a lot of attention.

It drew many veterans and newcomers alike.

These veterans and newcomers had a tacit understanding, as at this moment they didn’t engage in battle with each other but instead hid in the surrounding forests, anxiously watching the situation not far away, many feeling their hearts about to leap out of their chests.

“So you are Lin Feng, huh? Leading your team to this point is truly beyond my expectations. Initially, I thought Yuwen Chenxing’s four teams could handle all the newcomers without us having to make a move, but they failed. It seems we’ll have to stretch our muscles today after all,” Huangfuyu said with a smile.

“Haha, Captain, there’s no need for you to take action against these guys. We alone are more than enough,” Yang Lei said, laughing heartily.

Indeed, even if Huangfuyu didn’t take part, their side still boasted ten strong contenders from the Mountain River List.

Dealing with Lin Feng’s twenty people didn’t seem like a difficult task. In their view, among Lin Feng’s team, only Lin Feng and Long Shiyou posed a significant challenge; the rest were easy to handle.

Huangfuyu said, “After being stuck in this wretched place for a few days, I need to move around a bit or I’m going to stiffen up completely. I’ll take on Lin Feng; the rest of you, are yours. Let’s make this quick and clean.”

“Don’t worry Captain, we assure you we’ll deal with these guys quickly!”

The veterans said, chuckling.

“Brother Long, you take on Yang Lei; the rest of you, pair up and try to hold off these guys,” Lin Feng instructed.

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison and set upon the veterans.

“Boom…” The great battle erupted.

Newcomers and veterans clashed fiercely.

Long Shiyou charged towards Yang Lei.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng began his duel with the most powerful among them, Huangfuyu.

“The fight has begun!”

In the forests around, all the spectators, whether veterans or newcomers, held their breaths at this moment.

This was the peak battle between the newcomers and the veterans.

Although both the newcomers and veterans felt that Lin Feng’s team was bound to be annihilated facing Huangfuyu’s team,

even if they were wiped out, this duel was expected to be incredibly spectacular.

“Come at me, Lin Feng. Show me all the moves you’ve got without holding anything back,” Huangfuyu said, the corner of his mouth curving into a faint smile.

Lin Feng could feel the sense of superiority emanating from Huangfuyu.

“Qiongqi Treasure Skill,” Lin Feng shouted, unleashing the secret technique.

Roar. The beast’s roar shook the heavens.

The Ancient Fierce Beast Qiongqi emerged, and Lin Feng, together with Qiongqi, charged towards Huangfuyu.

“Not bad, not bad at all, quite a formidable secret technique you have there, but it’s still quite far from being enough to take me on,” Huangfuyu said with a faint smile, facing Lin Feng’s attack with a single palm thrust.

Boom.

Their forces collided violently, and the fierce energy spread outwards, instantly destroying everything within dozens of meters around them.

The Ancient Qiongqi that Lin Feng had conjured was dispersed by Huangfuyu’s single palm strike, and the powerful force brutally shook Lin Feng’s body.

Lin Feng was sent flying as if struck by a mountain peak.

Huangfuyu, number twenty-seven on the Mountain River List, was simply too terrifying; he defeated Lin Feng with a single move.

Boom.

Lin Feng’s body smashed through five or six large trees before finally coming to a difficult stop.
