Chapter 1370: This Spot Is Mine

On the other side, Zhuo Yang led Lu Tianyi, Princess Qian Ling, and the expert at her side. Their target was clearly the earth-tier cultivation ground as well.

Apart from them, four or five other six-man teams had also set their sights on the earth-tier cultivation grounds. For a moment, the struggle over the earth-tier grounds became the fiercest of all.

Yan Guying drew in a sharp breath. "The competition for the earth-tier grounds is this brutal?"

He had entered the Earth Emperor Pool once before, but back then he had only dared to cultivate at the outermost yellow-tier grounds. There had been almost no competition at all.

"Go for the third earth-tier cultivation ground!"

A sharp glint flashed through Li Fei's eyes when she saw a comparatively weaker team rushing toward the third earth-tier ground. With the four of them working together, they should have a decent chance of taking it.

Feng Ling did not hesitate for a second and immediately followed, trusting Li Fei's judgment without the slightest doubt.

Yan Guying drew his sword and gritted his teeth as he chased after them. His strength was the weakest among the four, and he would not be much help in a real fight. Still, the other side would not dare to kill anyone, so he could only steel himself and go all in.

The three of them charged forward and tangled with the six opponents.

Li Fei and Feng Ling were both experts on the Creation Star Ranking, so they could somewhat hold their ground under the pressure. Yan Guying, however, lagged far behind. He could only harass from the edges and contribute little more than a distraction.

Among the six opponents, two were also on the Creation Star Ranking. The remaining four were all powerful inner sect disciples. With three against six, it did not take long before Li Fei's group was firmly pushed into a disadvantage.

At the same time, the battles over the other three earth-tier cultivation grounds were just as intense. Seeing this, many disciples could only retreat in frustration and turn their attention to the mystic-tier grounds instead.

If they were any later, they might not even be able to secure a mystic-tier cultivation ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a time, teams across the area fought fiercely over the cultivation grounds. Bound by the rules, no one dared to unleash truly lethal moves. In most cases, once the losing side withdrew, it was taken as conceding the spot, and both sides would drop the matter without lingering grudges.

Still, within this limited one-hour window, everyone did their utmost to seize the highest-grade cultivation ground they could. This single hour would determine the harvest of the next ten days.

"

Ah!

"

A scream rang out as Yan Guying slipped up and was caught by a peak Human Emperor who seized the opening and sent him flying with a palm strike.

The three person formation was torn apart, leaving a huge gap.

Li Fei and Feng Ling could no longer hold on and were forced out of the third earth-tier cultivation ground one after the other.

Panting heavily, Feng Ling turned back with a vicious glare and swept her gaze across the area. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn it. Where is that arrogant jerk? He agreed to form a four-man team with us, so where did that bastard run off to?"

Li Fei was just as puzzled. Ling Feng's combat strength was even greater than hers. If he had been there, they might not have lost the cultivation ground just now.

Yan Guying was even more confused. Ling Feng had still been right behind them when they charged in. In the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace.

Suddenly, Yan Guying spotted him.

At that moment, Ling Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back in front of an earth-tier cultivation ground.

This ground had already been taken by Zhuo Yang and Lu Tianyi. Not only that, two more inner sect disciples from Void Heaven Hall stood beside Zhuo Yang. Both were peak Human Emperors. Even though they were not on the Creation Star Ranking, their strength was not to be underestimated.

"

Hehe,

Ling Feng, you really won't give up!"

Lu Tianyi wore a ferocious grin as he crooked a finger at Ling Feng. "Brat surnamed Ling, if you have the guts, then come and take this cultivation ground from us!

Hahaha!

"

He glared arrogantly at Ling Feng, relying on the presence of several senior brothers from Void Heaven Hall and clearly holding Ling Feng in utter contempt.

Ling Feng did not even spare him a glance. His eyes were fixed on Zhuo Yang, the strongest among them. Standing calmly with his hands behind his back, he said lightly, "Senior brothers, please move aside. This spot is mine."

The audacity!

Many of the teams fighting over the earth-tier grounds nearby were stunned when they saw a mere Spiritual Sea Realm disciple like Ling Feng openly provoking Zhuo Yang.

Is this guy half asleep?

Not far away, Princess Qian Ling had already secured an earth-tier cultivation ground with the help of experts from Profound Thunder Hall. When she turned her head and saw Ling Feng challenging Lu Tianyi's group, she could not help but shake her head.

"Ling Feng is indeed talented, but he is far too sharp-edged and does not know when to rein himself in. With his strength, how could he possibly compete with Zhuo Yang? This time, he is bound to learn a lesson he will never forget."

The blue-robed man beside her said calmly, "Junior sister, are you close to this outer sect disciple?"

"Not really," Princess Qian Ling replied with a faint shake of her head. "I just know of him."

In truth, the reason Princess Qian Ling paid special attention to Ling Feng was mainly because, during the qualification assessment, Tuoba Yan by Ling Feng's side had stolen all the limelight that should have belonged to her.

In the end, Tuoba Yan became the direct disciple of Saint Lady Hui Yue, while Ling Feng, this dazzling genius, fell to the outer sect instead. Such a contrast in fate was hard to forget.

Hearing Ling Feng's brazen words, Zhuo Yang frowned slightly and looked at him before speaking in a measured tone. "Junior brother, if you are still upset about what happened earlier, Junior Brother Lu has already apologized. I hope you can let it go. As for this earth-tier cultivation ground, I advise you to give it up."

"What happened earlier? Since when do people bother to argue with dogs?"

Ling Feng shrugged and said calmly, "I simply think this cultivation ground has good feng shui, so I want it. That is all."

"So you are determined to stir up trouble. Very well!"

Zhuo Yang shook his head and said in a low voice, "Then do not blame me for bullying the younger."

Ling Feng did not reply. A crack opened between his brows, revealing a blood-red eye.

The Frost Crow's Ghost Eye!

In an instant, a thread of mental force shot out from the Ghost Eye.

Zhuo Yang's mind went blank for a brief moment. In that heartbeat of distraction, Ling Feng moved like lightning. He rushed forward, grabbed Zhuo Yang by the collar, struck him in the chest to seal several acupoints, and then flung him brutally to the ground.

"Brat, you are asking for death!"

The remaining two peak Human Emperors roared in fury and lunged at Ling Feng with savage expressions.

"

Hehe!

"

Ling Feng gave a cold laugh. Even experts on the Creation Star Ranking like Wang Ruquan had fallen to him. How could a few ordinary peak Human Emperors be worth fearing?

His mental force surged again. The two peak Human Emperors were thrown off by the interference and froze for an instant. In that brief lapse, Ling Feng kicked both of them out of the cultivation ground.

With a flash of movement, Ling Feng appeared in front of Lu Tianyi like a ghost.

"You... you..."

Lu Tianyi was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body. His whole body shuddered. The next moment, he heard the rush of wind by his ear as Ling Feng's fist smashed straight into his face, sending him flying.

Spurt!

Blood streamed from Lu Tianyi's nose. He hurriedly raised a hand to cover it and stared at Ling Feng in disbelief. "Ling Feng you bastard! What kind of demonic trick did you use?"

By now, Zhuo Yang had regained his senses. He frowned and tried to circulate his elemental force, only to discover that several of his acupoints had been sealed. At most, he could barely muster less than ten percent of his strength.
