Chapter 1368: Petty Man Drunk on Success

"

Ahem...

"

Feng Ling felt guilty and stammered without daring to speak. When Li Fei saw the clearly guilty look on Feng Ling's face, she could not help but shake her head with a smile.

"Xiao Ling, this is on you. As a senior sister, how could you deliberately make things difficult for your junior brother? Alright, from now on, you are not allowed to target him anymore. Make peace with each other."

As she spoke, she grabbed Feng Ling's hand and Ling Feng's hand and forced the two of them to shake hands.

"

Tch!

"

Feng Ling flung Ling Feng's hand away. Her face was full of disdain, but she clearly listened to Li Fei. She no longer showed hostility toward Ling Feng.

Ling Feng shrugged indifferently. This Feng Ling was a bit unruly, but she did not seem to have any malicious intent.

Besides, this was not a bad opportunity. Perhaps through Feng Ling, he could find out who was actually pulling the strings behind her.

The feeling of being manipulated by others, like a puppet on strings, made him deeply uncomfortable.

"That is more like it. The Earth Emperor Pool is about to open. We need to stand united and strive for a higher grade cultivation ground so that we can make the most of our Earth Emperor Token."

Li Fei spoke like a big sister lecturing juniors who were throwing tantrums. What was hard to understand was that Feng Ling, despite her fiery temperament, actually accepted this quite obediently.

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. He had heard about Feng Ling's opportunities in the Dongling Immortal Pool and knew that her strength was not weak. Having her join them was not a bad thing.

"Our goal this time is to secure a mystic-tier cultivation ground first, and then make a push for an earth-tier cultivation ground."

Li Fei laid out the plan and continued, "With the spiritual energy of a mystic-tier cultivation ground, one day of cultivation is equivalent to twenty days outside. An earth-tier cultivation ground is equivalent to forty days. If we can take an earth tier spot, then after ten days, we will definitely see a huge breakthrough."

"

Mhmm

."

Feng Ling and Yan Guying both nodded. Yan Guying was especially excited. His original goal had only been the outermost yellow-tier. Now he not only had a chance to enter a mystic-tier cultivation ground, but could even try for an earth-tier one. This was far beyond what he had expected.

Only Ling Feng curled his lips slightly and said calmly, "With Senior Sister Li and the three of us working together, do we really not have the qualification to compete for a sky-tier cultivation ground?"

What he meant was that among them, three people already had strength worthy of the Creation Star Ranking. By all logic, competing for a sky-tier cultivation ground should not have been that difficult.

"

Tch,

an arrogant jerk is still an arrogant jerk!"

Feng Ling looked at Ling Feng with open disdain. "Do you think a sky-tier cultivation ground is some ordinary place? That is a place only the top thirty on the Creation Star Ranking can even try to contend for. Unless your luck is heaven defying and not a single one of the top thirty shows up, you might barely have a chance to try your luck."

She continued, "Besides, there is only one sky-tier cultivation ground. This time, it has already been reserved by Senior Brother Chu Tiange, who is ranked twenty ninth on the Creation Star Ranking. He had to negotiate many times to get the seniors ahead of him to refrain from competing with him. So this time, we have no chance at all."

"No one made any reservation with me. When it comes to fighting over cultivation grounds, is it not decided by whose fist is stronger?"

Ling Feng replied lightly.

"You..." Feng Ling was left speechless. She frowned and said, "There is no way to talk sense with an arrogant jerk like you!"

Li Fei gave a bitter smile. "Junior Brother Ling, although you were able to defeat Wang Ruquan, you must understand one thing. There are very clear tiers within the Creation Star Ranking. The top seventy are one level. The top fifty are another. As for the top thirty, they are basically monsters. And the top ten..."

Li Fei took a deep breath before continuing, "The top ten can already rival inner sect elders. You need to remember this. It is better to provoke an inner sect elder than to provoke someone in the top ten. Within the Dongling Immortal Pool, they are revered as Young Emperors and hold authority over life and death within the sect. In other words, even if they are elders, if they are found to have violated sect rules, the Ten Young Emperors have the power to execute first and report later!"

"

Hiss...

"

Ling Feng could not help drawing in a sharp breath. As disciples, they could even execute elders first and explain afterward. That was an astonishing level of authority!

Young Emperor experts?

Instead of feeling fear, Ling Feng felt a powerful surge of battle intent rise within him.

Coming to the Dongling Immortal Pool was absolutely the right choice!

Only by competing on the same stage with such geniuses could he experience the thrill of constant breakthroughs and continual surpassing of limits.

"Such a thoroughly arrogant jerk!"

Seeing Ling Feng's expression, Feng Ling shook her head with a cold laugh. It seemed that everything Li Fei had said just went in one ear and out the other!

"It seems Junior Brother Ling also harbors the ambition to contend for the title of Young Emperor," Li Fei said with a faint smile. "That is a good thing. But for now, you are still far from it. Let us first secure an earth-tier cultivation ground."

Ling Feng curled his lips. There was no point in arguing further. He would take things one step at a time.

"There is one more thing. In the Earth Emperor Pool, teams that fight over cultivation grounds usually consist of three to six people. We only have four. If we run into a six person team, we will need to be a bit more cautious."

Li Fei offered another reminder. Everyone nodded in agreement. With no further questions, they headed together toward the entrance of the Earth Emperor Pool.

At the same time, the other teams also began to move, eager to seize the initiative and snatch higher grade cultivation grounds.

Whoosh!

Several figures swept past together and brushed by Ling Feng's group.

Among them was Princess Qian Ling. Back then, she had been identified as possessing the Thunder Spirit Sacred Body. After entering the Dongling Immortal Pool, she had been promoted to a direct disciple. She now enjoyed great prestige, and a senior brother from the Profound Thunder Hall was personally clearing the way for her as they rushed to seize a cultivation ground.

When Princess Qian Ling saw Ling Feng, a trace of surprise clearly appeared in her eyes. She had not expected Ling Feng to accumulate such a large amount of contribution points so quickly and gain entry into the Earth Emperor Pool.

"Greetings, Ling Feng."

After a moment of thought, Princess Qian Ling stepped forward and cupped her fists in greeting, showing a faint smile.

"

Mhmm

."

Ling Feng gave a brief nod and said nothing more. Princess Qian Ling did not press the matter and soon left with the blue-robed man beside her.

Next, Lu Tianyi, who had provoked Ling Feng during the qualification assessment, swaggered over. Although his results in the assessment had not been particularly outstanding, he had been lucky enough to catch the eye of an elder and become a direct disciple.

"Well, well, is this not Ling Feng, the great genius? Haha, what a coincidence!"

Lu Tianyi glanced at Ling Feng in a mocking manner. When Ling Feng had been assigned to the outer sect, Lu Tianyi had felt smug for a long time. Later, when he himself was selected as a direct disciple, he felt that he had finally risen to the same level as Ling Feng.

Before long, Ling Feng would be left far behind.

Ling Feng could not even be bothered to look at him. He was nothing more than a petty man drunk on a little success, not worth any attention.

"

Hmph!

"

Lu Tianyi snorted and let his gaze linger on Feng Ling and Li Fei, feeling a faint jealousy in his heart.

Why is Ling Feng always surrounded by beautiful women no matter where he goes?

"Ling Feng, I was wondering how you managed to exchange for an Earth Emperor Token so quickly. It looks like you are relying on the support of these two senior sisters. Hehe, your skill at climbing your way up through women is something I truly cannot match!"

As soon as Lu Tianyi said this, Li Fei's brows immediately furrowed. Feng Ling, whose temper was fiery by nature, slapped him across the face without hesitation. The blow sent Lu Tianyi's world spinning.
