Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 509 - 147: This Master Must Be Acknowledged

Chapter 509: Chapter 147: This Master Must Be Acknowledged

The two were neighbors and classmates. After entering Inner Ring City, they cultivated together. Though not childhood sweethearts, they were at least familiar with each other.

It was hard to meet in the Star Realm.

They easily started chatting.

The two talked into the night.

The next day, Ling Feng walked into the veteran students’ training area for the first time.

Since the new students began cultivating at the Academy, aside from Qin Qianyu, no other newcomer had entered this area.

Ling Feng’s arrival caused a minor stir.

"You’ve developed a Spiritual Root."

Li Xiaoshuang questioned.

During this time, he and Zhao Zihao were busy cultivating, afraid they wouldn’t become martial students for the continent exam. Hence, he was oblivious to Ling Feng’s actions in the Great Radiation Zone and even more so to Ling Feng’s Dantian Sea of Qi being one hundred percent Perfect.

"No."

Ling Feng always held respect for Li Xiaoshuang.

If it weren’t for him bringing Zhao Zihao and others to play mahjong with him and getting him a female robot, he wouldn’t have gathered so much Coasting Along Value after entering the Academy, nor improved his strength so quickly.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoshuang sighed with relief.

If a new student performs excellently, they can practice with veteran students prematurely, and not all veteran students are Realm Travelers.

Of course, veteran students who fail to become Realm Travelers soon will be expelled from the Academy.

"Ling Feng, Qin Qianyu has mentioned you to me more than once."

A figure with a sense of oppression stepped out from the crowd and continued, "Combat Power exceeds 30,000.0, tearing apart the Demon God in the Great Radiation Zone, aiding Hidden Kill in slaying the Black Spider Octopus King. Among new students, you’re impressive."

Li Xiaoshuang’s eyes widened.

Ling Feng had such achievements.

"You are last year’s national exam champion, Wen Duoduo."

Ling Feng remarked in surprise.

He vaguely remembered Liu Chuan showing him a video of how Qin Qianyu defeated Wen Duoduo in one strike.

During last year’s national exam, Wen Duoduo was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster who successfully opened his Dantian Sea of Qi.

He was still cultivating at the Academy.

The powerful aura around him seemed no weaker than Li Xiaoshuang’s.

Ling Feng suddenly realized that perhaps when Qin Qianyu defeated Wen Duoduo with one strike, it was shortly after Wen Duoduo had just participated in the national exam.

Now, he was no longer the same, having become a powerful Realm Traveler.

"That’s me."

Wen Duoduo nodded.

"Ling Feng!"

Qin Qianyu’s voice came, standing on a small hill.

"Hey."

Ling Feng quickly ran over, with Wen Duoduo following behind, but just as they reached the bottom of the hill, they were suddenly stopped by a bald man.

"Someone who hasn’t developed a Spiritual Root has no right to step foot on Spirit Mountain."

The bald man sneered coldly.

Ling Feng looked at Qin Qianyu in confusion.

"Members of the Qin Family can step onto Spirit Mountain even without developing a Spiritual Root."

Qin Qianyu stated.

A Sword Qi aura surrounded him, its presence pressing against the bald man.

The bald man’s expression stiffened, involuntarily looking in another direction.

Seemingly receiving a signal.

He quickly punched towards Ling Feng.

Though Ling Feng hadn’t awakened his Spiritual Root, his strength couldn’t be ignored. The bald man’s sudden move was unexpected, and in desperation, he quickly released the Qi Sea Gang Shield, forming a substantial Protective Gang Qi.

"Boom!"

The bald man’s punch landed on the Protective Gang Qi.

Ling Feng took a step back, but the Gang Qi didn’t dissipate.

The bald man staggered back three steps, a red mark appeared on his fist, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Ling Feng.

"Swish!"

At this moment, Qin Qianyu slashed down with his sword.

Composed of Spiritual Power, the Sword Aura streaked across hundreds of meters, targeting the bald man’s vital points. He crossed his hands to resist, releasing Spirit Root Power.

"Boom!"

He flew out over Ling Feng’s head.

His clothes shattered, and he tumbled naked in front of everyone.

"Hahaha!"

Wen Duoduo couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Qin Qianyu glided down from the mountain top, standing beside Ling Feng, looking towards the three figures in the west.

The three had their eyes on Ling Feng, but didn’t come to clash with Qin Qianyu. Instead, they turned and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The crowd murmured.

"Who are they?"

Ling Feng was filled with confusion.

He realized that among the veteran students, it wasn’t only Li Xiaoshuang and a few from the Four Great Families who dared to challenge Qin Qianyu; some powerful veteran students also dared to contend with him.

Some even disregarded Qin Qianyu.

"Follow me."

Qin Qianyu led Ling Feng up Spirit Mountain.

Spirit Mountain was just this small hill before them. Ling Feng found it odd that such a small hill could be named Spirit Mountain, these veteran students were indeed peculiar.

But once atop, he discovered that the air here was filled with Spiritual Power.

Since his encounter with the Black Wind Demon Lotus, Ling Feng had some understanding of this aura.

Though Spiritual Qi is within the Five Elements.

It’s usually hard to detect.

To absorb and refine this power, one must first peel away layers and filter out this force from the Five Elements.

But on Spirit Mountain, Spiritual Qi seemed to descend from the sky, readily accessible.

"Below this hill lies a Spirit Gathering Array capable of gathering Spiritual Qi not only from the Academy but from hundreds of miles around it. Training on Spirit Mountain yields twice the result with half the effort, equivalent to drinking an extra cup of Spiritual Spring Water every day."

Qin Qianyu explained.

"The bald head holds grudges, having been embarrassed just now; he might retaliate against Brother Ling Feng."

Wen Duoduo warned.

Ling Feng realized that Wen Duoduo and Qin Qianyu were on the same side.

"You helped Yuan Gang kill the Demon God Giant Axe, you could even handle the Black Spider Octopus King, the bald head likely won’t trouble you easily."
