You guys are planning to wait for Sun Mo to arrive, right? It’s a pity that he has managed to save Zhou Xingtong and should be attending a meal gathering under Zhou Xingtong’s fervent invitation.”
Lu Feng laughed.
“But since I wish to take you guys in as my disciple, I’ll reply to this question.”
“My actual identity is a dark great teacher, so I naturally can’t reveal myself in public. However, I’ve participated in great teacher examinations a total of six times after putting on a disguise, clinching first place four times. For the other two times, I was also ranked in the top three.”
This was Lu Feng’s proud battle achievements.
“They couldn’t all be 1-star examinations, right?”
The sickly guy retorted.
“They were all 3-stars ones.”
Lu Feng sighed. “The reason I didn’t participate in the 4-stars examination is because all of my personal disciples are inept.”
This was the helplessness of one on the dark side. Students with good aptitude would definitely have good prospects. There wasn’t a need for them to get involved in the dark world.
And Lu Feng didn’t care for those with mediocre aptitude.
“But if you guys become my disciples, I can guarantee that I’ll be able to get first place in the 4-stars examination at least three times!”
Li Ziqi assessed the four of them and his gaze returned to Li Ziqi. “I didn’t expect that your performance would make me see you in a different light!”
“You know me?” Li Ziqi frowned.
“Haha, do you want to know what’s my relationship with Sun Mo?”
Lu Feng left them hanging.
“After I came out from seclusion this time around, the first thing I did was to go and observe Sun Mo. He left a deep impression on me. By the way, I specialize in the study of spirit runes, the study of spiritual control, as well as puppetry! I wonder if it’s all fated that I share a lot of common traits with your teacher’s specialties.”
This was big news!
Li Ziqi and the other three wore solemn expressions. Turned out that their teacher had been targeted long ago.
“Since you know our teacher, then would you kill us if we were to reject you?”
Tantai Yutang asked, feigning naivety.
“I’m a great teacher, not a killer.”
Lu Feng looked at the sickly guy with an amused expression. “But I’ll cripple Sun Mo. Alright, enough with the casual talk. You guys can escape now. I’ll count to ten then start catching people.”
10!
9!
…
To Lu Feng’s surprise, other than the sickly guy who passed over the wall and escaped, the other three chose to fight.
Rumble!
The wall next to Lu Feng collapsed and six tornado-shaped wind elements surrounded him, shooting out wind blades in an attempt to suppress him.
If they hit, Lu Feng would definitely be a shattered corpse.
“Interesting!”
Lu Feng drew his sword and swung it casually. Several tens of sword shadows appeared and then those wind blades were shattered.
“You know ventriloquism? You can even use One Heart Two Uses and perform silent summoning?”
Lu Feng was very surprised.
This Li Ziqi kept on giving him surprises.
These wind elements were all battle pets summoned through spiritual control. When used, it’d take a few seconds even if the spirit controller’s summoning speed had reached an extremity.
However, the fact that they appeared all at once meant that Li Ziqi had summoned them in advance. Moreover, she hadn’t chanted any incantation. There was only one explanation for this.
Jiang Leng and Helian Beifang got close to Lu Feng from both sides.
The little sunny egg’s expression was solemn. She quickly took out the Flame Explosion Spirit Rune and tore it up.
Pa pa pa!
Fire sparks exploded and then 12 fist-sized flame bullets shot toward Lu Feng.
Lu Feng swung his sword.
Swoosh!
A beam of sword light hit those fireballs amidst flickering lights and blurring shadows.
Bang bang bang!
The fireballs exploded and sparks flew everywhere, obstructing the view.
“Yo, to think that I’ve fallen for that trick!”
Lu Feng mocked.
Li Ziqi hadn’t thought of being able to kill Lu Feng with this wave of attack. Her guess was that the flame bullets would definitely be stopped, so these flame explosions were used to obstruct his vision.
As expected, lightning bolts smashed out next.
Jiang Leng, Helian Beifang, and Li Ziqi concurrently used their Lightning Sea Spirit Runes.
Zap! Zap!
Silver lightning smashed out, engulfing Lu Feng like a tsunami.
“Excellent!”
Lu Feng praised.
In terms of absolute battle prowess, Li Ziqi and the other two wouldn’t be able to win against him even if their battle prowess were to increase by ten folds. They knew this as well and thus made use of battle tactics.
When used properly, spirit runes that had powerful attacking prowess could decide the flow of the battle.
“Are these spirit runes drawn by Sun Mo? They are very strong!”
Lu Feng laughed. “It’s a pity that they are useless against me. Bring out other new tricks!”
He didn’t attack but went on the defense, planning to check out these kids’ potential.
Li Ziqi was still throwing out spirit runes, but only two more wind elements took form.
That’s right. She knew ventriloquism and could also use One Heart Two Uses. However, this would expend a lot of mental energy.
The little sunny egg knew her shortcomings and in order to make up for them, she put in effort in other areas.
She worked hard on drawing spirit runes, creating spirit runes with stronger prowess.
Moreover, there must be a wide variety of them. This would give her a lot of options in her battle tactics.
Next was the spiritual control technique.
It was definitely better to be able to summon as many battle pets as possible within the shortest time frame. Therefore, she started to study ventriloquism long ago.
After a year, she managed to achieve a small level of success in it.
The little sunny egg could use both her mouth and ventriloquism for summoning incantations concurrently, summoning two wind elements at once.
Jiang Leng charged forth like a leopard.
“Tsk, courageous!”
Lu Feng praised once again.
He was now surrounded by wind blades as well as flame bullets, yet this young man with the word ‘trash’ on his forehead still dared to attack?
(Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be injured by mistake? Or do you have great confidence that you’ll be able to avoid these attacks?)
Jiang Leng’s dagger slashed out horizontally!
Hibernation!
Swoosh!
This attack was as fast as lightning, causing the heart of Huang Meibo, who was watching the battle from the side, to skip a beat. It was because she couldn’t guarantee that she’d be able to block this attack completely.
At the same time, Helian Beifang, who was on the outer edge, also made his move.
Four Oceans Dragon Capture!
Roar!
A huge dragon’s enraged and deafening roar suddenly rang out. At the same time, the barbaric young man’s left hand took on a claw form, scratching out.
Boom!
Spirit qi gushed out overwhelmingly from his left hand, condensing into a huge dragon claw.
Pa!
The dragon claw scratched Lu Feng’s right hand and tugged at it ferociously.
Lu Feng’s movement that was planning on blocking Jiang Leng’s dagger immediately changed.
“Excellent!”
Lu Feng’s brows raised and he bent and flicked out a finger on his left hand.
Pa!
The dagger was flicked away.
Jiang Leng performed the Wind King Divine Steps and moved behind Lu Feng, attacking his back. As he was too fast, he left an afterimage behind him.
Pa!
Lu Feng kicked behind him with terrifying accuracy. Jiang Leng was hit in the shoulder and immediately flew out like a fallen leaf.
That scene looked as if Jiang Leng went up to get kicked.
Swoosh!
Lu Feng turned the sword with a backhanded move, cutting off that dragon claw.
“Why does this cultivation art look a little familiar?”
Lu Feng felt perplexed.
“Retreat!”
Li Ziqi saw that they couldn’t win and immediately turned to run off.
The White Tiger Guard she had caught in the ruins appeared by her side, and she immediately got on it.
At this time, she had reinforced herself with the Dragon Ball Spirit Rune and entered a berserk state, increasing her agility.
Bang! Bang!
Two signal bombs rose toward the sky with trailing orange-red flames behind them. Then, with a bang, they blossomed into a brilliant beautiful flower.
This was a signal for help.
Jiang Leng landed, rolled to stop the momentum, then leaped and jumped across the wall, planning to escape by using the houses nearby.
Helian Beifang had the same plan. It was because the more complicated the terrain, the more troublesome it was to give chase.
Eight wind elements surrounded and attacked Lu Feng. It would be fine if they could stop him for even a second.
“Don’t get close to the one on the left. It has poison on it!”
Lu Feng reminded Huang Meibo, then kicked out toward a stone on the ground.
Pa!
The stone shot out, pierced through the wall and left behind a hole.
Through the hole, he could see Tantai Yutang’s escaping figure.
“Does that sickly guy like to release poison that much?”
Lu Feng teased. “It’s a pity that I’m impenetrable by poison!”
Huang Meibo’s scalp turned numb from seeing this. The sickly guy whom she thought had fled actually turned out to be releasing poison in the dark?
This was really sinister!
And these waves of concurrent attacks… Thankfully, her teacher was strong enough. If it was anyone else in his shoes, it’d be over for them.
“Who should I catch? I didn’t expect that even a sickly guy would be so amazing!”
Lu Feng sighed, suddenly feeling envious of Sun Mo’s good luck.
(Don’t you have too many good disciples?)
Other than one of the wind elements having poison on it, that sickly guy had also released poison from the upwind direction, letting poisonous smoke that was almost unnoticeable drift over.
When this guy escaped, there was a suitable amount of fear and panic in his expression. He was like a shocked mouse, looking like he couldn’t pick an escape path. However, he then hid behind a wall and secretly moved to the upwind.
The reason he did this was to cause Lu Feng to let down his guard.
“Maybe I should choose the princess.”
Lu Feng pounced toward Li Ziqi.
The ‘trash’ word on Jiang Leng’s forehead brought one discomfort when looking at it. Moreover, he was a guy of few words. It would definitely be very boring to take him in as his disciple.
As for Helian Beifang, he was tall, powerful, and brave. But it was a pity that he was a barbarian.
Li Ziqi, who was riding on the White Tiger Guard, escaped at great speed. However, when Lu Feng moved, he was like a gust of wind, catching up to her.
“Leave me be! You guys escape first!”
Li Ziqi stared at the alley’s opening. As long as she could get out, she’d be in the streets. With so many passersby, Lu Feng would definitely not dare to act recklessly.
It was a pity that she had underestimated Lu Feng.
Dark secret arts, Shifting Shadows!
Swoosh!
It was as if Lu Feng had teleported. He crossed a distance of over ten meters instantly, appearing in front of Li Ziqi just as she was about to charge out of the alley’s exit.
Hu!
His left palm came hacking down.
Bang!
The White Tiger Guard was shattered.
“Ah!”
Li Ziqi let out an agonizing cry, falling to the ground and rolling in a battered state.
Lu Feng reached out to grab Li Ziqi’s collar, but a large spread of lightning shot out from her.
Kacha!
The distance was too close.
Lu Feng couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by it.
Bang!
When Li Ziqi landed on the ground again, she thought of rolling to reduce the momentum, but her motor skill was too bad, so she ended up falling clumsily.
Buzz!
A semi-translucent hungry wolf darted out of Lu Feng’s body, intercepting this wave of lightning.
“Amazing!”
Lu Feng was surprised.
Li Ziqi had clearly guessed that she might be stopped, so she had prepared the Lightning Rune beforehand. After her path was blocked and her ride was crushed, she then pretended to be very shocked to deceive him. However, the truth was that she was releasing the rune that she had prepared long ago.
Unfortunately, Lu Feng was quite capable and had a defensive spirit rune that could activate by itself. Otherwise, he’d really have to suffer.
This time around, Li Ziqi had nowhere else to escape to.
“Just give up.”
Lu Feng heard footsteps coming from behind him. Someone had clearly heard the commotion over here and came rushing over. As a result, Lu Feng stopped dragging things out and went straight to the little sunny egg’s side, grabbed her collar, and then started to retreat.
“Meibo, let’s go!”
