88: Chapter 88: A Huge Surprise for You

Each move and stance was extremely elegant, with Sword Qi crisscrossing the air.

Lin Feng couldn't help but lick his lips in envy.

Now that he had successfully advanced to the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm, he finally had the qualifications to access higher-level sword techniques.

"Lin Feng, why are you here?"

Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Senior Sister Li Mei and Senior Sister Su Qingya stopped their cultivation almost simultaneously.

They leaped down from the Martial Arts Arena and walked up to him with smiles.

By now, Lin Feng had conquered both women with his absolute strength and had won their favor.

"Greetings, Senior Sisters!" Lin Feng smiled and cupped his hands, answering casually, "I am here to ask Hall Master Su Tongtian to take me as his disciple!"

Only Outer Sect Disciples who had stepped into the Core Condensation Realm could officially ask Hall Master Su Tongtian to become his disciple and enter the Inner Courtyard.

There was nothing to hide about this.

"Ah? What did you just say? You... you want to ask the Hall Master to take you as his disciple?"

Senior Sister Li Mei was stunned upon hearing this and asked with an expression of disbelief, "Could it be that you have successfully advanced to the Core Condensation Realm?"

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded with a smile.

As he spoke, his aura expanded.

"Wow! You really advanced? This... how is this possible?"

Senior Sister Li Mei opened her mouth in shock, unable to close it for a long time.

Senior Sister Su Qingya also paused, her beautiful eyes wide, staring at Lin Feng as if she had seen a ghost.

After all, this fact was simply too shocking.

By any calculation, Lin Feng had only been at Jidao Martial Arts Hall for less than a month.

As far as they both knew, no Outer Sect Disciple in Jidao Martial Arts Hall had ever achieved this!

Advancing to the Core Condensation Realm in just over a month!

Even those peerless Prodigies with Top-tier Root Bones took at least two or three months from Entry Level to advance to the Core Condensation Realm.

And that was considered extremely fast.

To advance in just over a month—that was only possible for the Saints and Saintesses of legendary Sects and Holy Lands.

"What? Lin Feng has advanced to the Core Condensation Realm?"

Senior Brother Niu Ben, Third Senior Brother Lu Fan, Bai Lu, and Junior Brother Huang Hao, who were practicing on the Martial Arts Arena, also stopped their cultivation abruptly, their eyes wide as they looked over in disbelief!

Especially Senior Brother Niu Ben; in those wide, bull-like eyes, besides shock, there was thick jealousy and hatred.

"Damn it, damn it all! This Lin Feng is just trash from the Slums outside the city. How does he have the right to advance to the Core Condensation Realm in just over a month?"

Senior Brother Niu Ben clenched his fists so tightly that his fingertips sank into his flesh, drawing blood without him even realizing it.

He had to remember, he was a peerless Prodigy with a Superior Root!

Moreover, he had the support of the powerful Niu Family and lacked almost no cultivation resources.

Yet even so, his cultivation was still stuck at the Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm, unable to break through.

Now, with Lin Feng suddenly emerging as such an anomaly, didn't that just make him look incompetent?

For a moment, Senior Brother Niu Ben's face turned livid, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was almost driven to lose his composure!

"Senior Brother!" Third Senior Brother Lu Fan, who was nearby, caught sight of this and hurriedly stepped forward, quietly tugging on Senior Brother Niu Ben's sleeve to signal him not to act rashly.

Third Senior Brother Lu Fan was supported by the Niu Family.

If anything happened to Senior Brother Niu Ben, he would no longer be able to stay at Jidao Martial Arts Hall!

Hearing Third Senior Brother Lu Fan's words, Senior Brother Niu Ben suddenly snapped out of it, realizing that now was not the time to act!

If he truly lost his composure and rushed out to attack Lin Feng, Hall Master Su Tongtian would definitely tear him to shreds.

"Rest assured, I am fine!" Senior Brother Niu Ben took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and said slowly.

Although he said that, the killing intent in his gaze toward Lin Feng grew even stronger.

Recovering from the shock, Bai Lu and Junior Brother Huang Hao immediately leaped down from the Martial Arts Arena and walked toward Lin Feng.

They loudly congratulated him, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, on successfully advancing to the Core Condensation Realm!"

"Junior Brother Lin, congratulations!"

"Many thanks, Senior Sister Bai Lu, Senior Brother Huang Hao!" Lin Feng smiled and cupped his hands.

"Junior Brother Lin, congratulations on successfully stepping into the Core Condensation Realm. This is a gift from your Senior Sister, take it!"

Just then, Senior Sister Li Mei took out five bottles of coagulation pill from her Storage Pouch and handed them over!

Each bottle contained ten pills.

Each pill was worth one hundred taels of silver!

That added up to five thousand taels.

"Ah! Second Senior Sister, this is too much, I cannot accept it!"

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly refused.

"Take it, or I will get angry!"

Senior Sister Li Mei feigned displeasure and shoved the Medicinal Pill directly into Lin Feng's hand!

"Second Senior Sister, I really don't need it. Have you forgotten that after I advance to the Core Condensation Realm, all Medicinal Pill are covered by the Pill Pavilion?"

Lin Feng shook his head again and returned the Medicinal Pill.

If it were before, he would have been eager for as many coagulation pill as possible.

But now, he truly didn't need them.

Why wouldn't free things be good?

"Hee hee, I did forget that point. Alright then, I won't give you Medicinal Pill. When there are suitable precious herbs in the future, I will give them to you instead!"

Senior Sister Li Mei giggled and put the Medicinal Pill away.

Seeing this, Senior Sister Su Qingya, Bai Lu, and Junior Brother Huang Hao also quietly put away the Medicinal Pill they had taken out.

"Ahem... what are you all gathered here for? Don't you need to Cultivate?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind!

"Master!"

Seeing Hall Master Su Tongtian striding over, everyone hurriedly bowed respectfully!

"Eh? Lin Feng, why are you here? Is there something the matter?"

Seeing Lin Feng being surrounded by Senior Sister Li Mei and the others like stars around the moon, Hall Master Su Tongtian asked curiously.

Before Lin Feng could speak, Senior Sister Su Qingya, who was beside him, said loudly, "Dad, Lin Feng has advanced to the Core Condensation Realm!"

"Wh...what? Lin Feng successfully advanced?"

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Su Tongtian was first stunned, and then ecstatic!

As he spoke, he strode over, arrived in front of Lin Feng in an instant, and grabbed his arm.

"Quick, let me see!"

A wisp of faint spiritual energy quietly entered Lin Feng's body!

Upon probing, Hall Master Su Tongtian's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This... how is this possible?"

He discovered that the Inner Core within Lin Feng's Dantian was clearly different from that of an ordinary person.

"What is it, Dad?"

Senior Sister Su Qingya asked, puzzled.

"Uh... nothing, you all continue to Cultivate. Little Feng, come with me!"

Hall Master Su Tongtian took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, grabbed Lin Feng's hand, and walked toward the direction of the main hall.

Only Senior Sister Li Mei and the others were left there, completely confused.

"Damn it, damn it all. It seems that from now on, Hall Master Su Tongtian will only have eyes for Lin Feng!"

Seeing this scene, Senior Brother Niu Ben gritted his teeth in hatred!

He secretly vowed to himself that whenever he had the chance, he would definitely find a way to kill Lin Feng.

Anyone who could not be used by him was an enemy.

They deserved to die!

Entering the main hall, Hall Master Su Tongtian immediately waved his hand, and with a bang, closed the doors!

"Quick, Feng'er, tell me, before you advanced to the Core Condensation Realm, how many strands of blood Qi did you condense in your Dantian?"

Hall Master Su Tongtian asked with burning eyes.

After his previous probe, he discovered that the Inner Core in Lin Feng's Dantian far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

For ordinary people, when they first advanced to the Core Condensation Realm, their Inner Core was about the size of a soybean.

But Lin Feng's was actually the size of a fava bean, fully several times larger than others.

"One hundred and eight strands!"

Lin Feng answered truthfully!

"Wh...what? One hundred and eight strands? You... you aren't joking, are you?"

Hall Master Su Tongtian was deeply shaken upon hearing this, staring at Lin Feng as if looking at a monster.

"I am not. It is indeed one hundred and eight strands."

Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Haha, good, very good, excellent! I truly did not misjudge you!"

Hall Master Su Tongtian could finally no longer suppress the joy in his heart and threw his head back in wild laughter.

The laughter shook the heavens, booming throughout the sky above the entire Jidao Martial Arts Hall!

It caused Senior Brother Niu Ben and the others to look toward the direction of the main hall in surprise once again.

After a long while, Hall Master Su Tongtian finally stopped laughing, grabbed Lin Feng's hand, and said loudly, "Come, I will take you to a place!"

"Where are we going?"

Lin Feng asked!

"Haha, didn't I say that once you advanced to the Core Condensation Realm, I would give you a huge surprise? You will know when we get there!"

As he spoke, Hall Master Su Tongtian, without another word, pulled Lin Feng and rushed toward the back courtyard.
