Chapter 956: Two Months Later

Ling Feng had faced off against the will of heaven and earth atop Tiansheng Peak. That battle alone had made him famous overnight. Now

that

was what it meant to defy the heavens!

From that day on, his name echoed across the entire sect world and stirred every corner. Of course, this was exactly the kind of outcome Ling Feng had hoped for.

After all, the more well-known he became, the higher the Divine Ling Sect could rise in the future.

Right now, everything in the Divine Ling Sect was falling into place. They had access to top-tier martial arts, excellent cultivation resources, and thanks to Ling Feng sealing a spirit ore vein on Jiuxian Mountain, it would not be long before the sect could make its name across the entire sect world.

Ling Feng especially valued the first batch of young disciples, like Luo Jianying and Jiang Wanqing. Only once this group of disciples matured and grew strong could the Divine Ling Sect truly stand among the powerful sects.

...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

It had been exactly one year since Ling Feng arrived at Tianwei Academy.

Now, he has made a decision. To leave!

"What? You're ending your studies early?"

In the vice director's office, Tong Chengtai nearly jumped from his seat when he heard Ling Feng's words.

"Yes." Ling Feng stood across from him and bowed deeply. "Thank you for looking after me all this time, Vice Director, but there's no longer any reason for me to stay."

Tong Chengtai narrowed his eyes and gave Ling Feng a good look.

Indeed, this kid had even beaten the Royal Sword Team. There really wasn't much point in him staying here any longer.

Two months ago, Ling Feng and Jiang Xiaofan had already been promoted to sky-tier students, which was an exceptional rank. But everyone knew that with their strength, even sky-tier status didn't do them justice.

In fact, Gu Tengfeng, Li Yunting, and a few others had already graduated early and were sent to major military regions for new challenges.

"

Haha,

you little brat!"

Tong Chengtai chuckled and shook his head. "Graduating from Tianwei Academy in just one year. That's got to be a record."

He slowly stood from his seat. "Alright. If you're set on this, I'll approve your early graduation."

"Thank you, Vice Director." Ling Feng nodded. "But there's one more thing I hope you can help me with."

Tong Chengtai rolled his eyes at him and laughed. "I knew it. You didn't just come here for nothing. If it wasn't something important, would you really come bother this old man?"

"

Hehe

..."

Ling Feng scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I'll put it this way, the Ninth Prince was transferred to the southern military region, right? I've decided to head there too. I was hoping you could write me a recommendation letter."

"The southern military region?" Tong Chengtai frowned slightly. "But I heard you were on great terms with the Northwestern Army. That commander Han Li even wrote to the director asking for you, didn't he?"

Ling Feng let out a bitter laugh. "The commander was being too generous. But I've made up my mind. There are things I need to take care of in Nanjiang."

In these past two months, Ling Feng's strength had grown by leaps and bounds.

The Despicable Donkey's cultivation had improved a lot too. Ever since little Qiongqi awakened his eye ability, his strength had also advanced quickly. It was about time they went and settled the score with the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor.

Only by facing powerful enemies could Ling Feng feel true pressure, which would push him to grow even faster.

Otherwise, his cultivation would start to slow down.

And that was something he absolutely wanted to avoid.

He had to get stronger!

Stronger, and stronger still!

This wasn't just his goal. It was something he had to do.

"Alright." Tong Chengtai nodded. "Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to stop you. Just be careful. Things aren't peaceful in the southern military region right now."

"

Haha,

if there was no fighting, I wouldn't even want to go!"

Ling Feng grinned and cupped his fists respectfully. "Thanks again for helping with the letter."

Tong Chengtai gave a short nod and said, "Come pick it up tomorrow. I had hoped you'd stick around for a few more years. If you did, Tianwei Academy could've kept winning the Four Major Academies' Sword Team Tournament."

Ling Feng smiled lightly. "Even if I'm gone, with you here, Tianwei Academy will still be just as strong."

"Alright, alright, stop buttering me up!"

Tong Chengtai rolled his eyes again, then shooed Ling Feng out of the office.

...

After leaving, Ling Feng headed straight for the medicinal herb garden.

Over this period, Yan Cangtian had also taken the Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill. His cultivation was improving every day.

Given his strength, he could absorb the pill's effects much faster than Jiang Xiaofan and the others. In just two months, he had advanced by another level, reaching the third level of the Creation Realm.

Normally, after reaching the Creation Realm, even Human Emperors might spend years, sometimes over a decade, to make progress. But Yan Cangtian had only just broken through and already climbed two levels. His speed would make anyone jealous.

Still, only Yan Cangtian himself knew that all of this was thanks to having such a good student.

"Teacher!"

Outside the courtyard, Ling Feng bowed to Yan Cangtian.

"You told Old Tong?"

A voice came from inside the house, and a gust of wind blew the door open.

Ling Feng stepped in. Yan Cangtian was seated cross-legged in meditation. Ling Feng nodded, "Yes. I'll be heading to Nanjiang in the next few days."

"

Sigh

..."

Yan Cangtian looked at him for a long moment, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes. But he understood. A young eagle could not grow into a true king of the skies if it never left the safety of its nest.

"You've grown quickly. There's nothing more I can really teach you."

He gave a bitter smile. Ling Feng's talent was simply too high. Although they were teacher and student in name, the two of them often learned from each other when it came to alchemy.

Even in the sword dao, Ling Feng had many unique insights. More than once, they had taken Yan Cangtian by surprise.

"You've already taught me so much, Master. I'll treasure it always!"

Yan Cangtian slowly rose, walked to Ling Feng, and looked him in the eyes.

"When you reach Nanjiang, remember that it's not like the academy. The military isn't filled with students."

"I'll keep your words close to heart." Ling Feng looked at him with deep gratitude. A slight shimmer of tears flickered in his eyes.

Even though his teacher's words sounded nagging, Ling Feng knew it all came from care and concern.

After a year together, the bond between them had already grown as deep as family.
