Venerable Martial Emperor

On the way back, an outer domain disciple suddenly rushed in front of Xu Feng and blocked his path. "Sir, are you Xu Feng?"    

Xu Feng raised his brows. Before he could say anything, Wang Bin waved his hand. With a swoosh, seven or eight Martial Arts Ninth Layer outer domain disciples who were passing by surrounded him and stared coldly at the person who blocked his path.    

The person who blocked his path immediately revealed a frightened expression. Sweat dripped down from his forehead. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "I... I am just helping Senior Brother Dung Ming convey a message!"    

"Dung Ming?"    

Xu Feng raised his brows. It had been more than seven days since the end of the outer court trial. He didn't expect that this Dung Ming would finally be unable to hold himself back and send someone over.    

"What did he say?"    

However, at this moment, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, and his expression remained indifferent.    

"Senior disciple Dung Ming said that if he doesn't see you within ten days, he will come to the outer domain to find you!" The man who blocked the way said hastily, afraid that if he spoke any slower, he would be beaten to death by the Strong Wind Sect's staff.    

The corner of Xu Feng's mouth curled up, then he waved his hand and walked forward.    

Only then did Wang Bin dismiss the crowd and chase after Xu Feng. With an anxious expression, he said, "Mr. Feng, I have investigated Dung Ming these days. This kid is incredible. His father was Mao Jingtao, a Second Grade Pill Alchemist, and he had consumed a lot of Medicine Pill. His strength is formidable, and he is ranked seventy-ninth on the Hundred Battle Ranking! "    

Xu Feng smiled. Dung Ming's ranking wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. No wonder Yue Changsheng was so afraid of him that day.    

However, so what? Xu Feng knew very well that his current cultivation base was at the peak of early Martial Essence Stage. He wouldn't be afraid even if he faced Dung Ming now.    

Besides, he had also obtained a worn-out metal piece. As long as he could learn the martial art of this metal piece... Hehe, it would be even easier to deal with Dung Ming now.    

"No worries, I will look for him in three days!" Xu Feng said as he thought of this.    

Wang Bin was surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Three days later? Mr. Feng, the day of the Inner Academy's challenge will be three days later. On this day, the Inner Academy disciples do not fear killing. It is very normal for people to die. If you go..."    

"That's even better!" A trace of killing intent flashed across Xu Feng's eyes.    

He and the father and son of the Dong Clan were sworn enemies. It would be best if he could kill Dung Ming. As for his father, Second Grade Pill Alchemist, Mao Jingtao, Xu Feng didn't fear him at all.    

One should know that he was also a Second Grade Pill Alchemist now!    

When Wang Bin heard this, he stopped talking. His status had always been dependent on Xu Feng. Now that Xu Feng was going to take the risk, although he was worried, he could only support him.    

After returning to his residence, Xu Feng sent Wang Bin away. He called for the guards at the door to prevent anyone from entering. After that, he immediately took out a piece of metal and stuck it on his forehead.    

Buzz!    

A buzzing sound was heard, and a huge amount of information immediately emerged from the piece of metal and entered his mind.    

Even though Xu Feng had a profound cultivation base and a powerful sea of consciousness, he could still feel a sharp pain coming from his sea of consciousness.    

However, he gritted his teeth and held on, not daring to relax at all.    

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the huge amount of information had finally entered his mind.    

After that, Xu Feng took the metal piece away.    

At this moment, he closed his eyes and thought of something. The information that had just entered his sea of consciousness had completely appeared in his mind.    

"Shinra Seal!"    

Xu Feng couldn't help but recite the name of this martial art.    

As he continued to recall, a joyful expression appeared on his face. "The Shinra Seal is a Mid Yellow Level martial art. Its power is boundless. Once it is imprinted, it will appear in a different world. It can be used to determine life and death. Be careful when using it!"    

"It's actually a Mid Yellow Level martial art!" The excitement in Xu Feng's heart was overflowing with words. At this moment, he already possessed two types of Yellow Level martial arts.    

The first was naturally the Bloody Dragon Rising to the Heaven. The power of the Bloody Dragon Rising to the Heaven was boundless. When it was unleashed to the extreme, its power was comparable to a Profound Level martial art, and it was at least a High-Ranked Yellow Level martial art. However, the limitation of using the Bloody Dragon Rising to the Heaven was extremely huge. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a life and death situation... It was really difficult to use it, and it wouldn't be very useful.    

The second type was the Shinra Seal, and the grade of the Shinra Seal was actually a Mid Yellow Level. For an Early Martial Essence Stage warrior, a martial art of this grade was absolutely the limit of what they could master. Furthermore, a Yellow Level martial art was incomparably precious, and few people would be able to master it.    

After learning the Shinra Seal, it would be incomparably easy for him to face Dung Ming in the future!    

When he thought of this, Xu Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully recalled the cultivation method of the Shinra Seal.    

Just as he thought about it, a figure appeared in his mind. The human figure raised his hand and formed a seal. With a slap, a huge black seal that emitted a dense murderous aura flew out from his palm. When it landed on the ground, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Its power was boundless and it was extremely shocking.    

In the next two days, Xu Feng was constantly visualizing the image of the figure casting the Shinra Seal in his mind.    

On the second night, he suddenly opened his eyes. The Yuan energy seed in his body was spinning crazily, and waves of incomparably pure Yuan energy were flowing out. It was emitted from the elemental energy seed and split into several lines that flowed through a dozen or so specific meridians.    

After that, Xu Feng slowly raised his palm and formed a strange seal. On his palm, a jet black light flickered. At a glance, it was breathtaking. A terrifying and ghastly killing intent slowly spread out.    

Suddenly, his eyes turned cold as he pushed his hands forward. Instantly, a jet black light burst out from his palm. A black seal that was as black as ink, as if it could even devour light, emerged from his palm. It flew through the air like a bolt of lightning and struck a huge rock weighing a thousand kilograms in the corner of the courtyard.    

There was no loud explosion, but a muffled sound was heard. It was as if a red-hot piece of metal had been poured into cold water. The huge boulder only trembled slightly, but it didn't break into pieces.    

However, if one walked over and took a closer look, they would find that on the huge rock, there was a black hole at least three feet deep. The shape of the black hole was the shape of the Shinra Seal!    

"So strong!"    

Xu Feng couldn't help but cry out, "This Shinra Seal Seal has exerted the power of Yuan energy to the limit. And it has also been condensed to the extreme. What?! It was just an object that blocked the seal in front of him. It is so much more powerful than ordinary martial arts!"    

Xu Feng was delighted. This Shinra Seal was indeed a Mid Yellow Level martial art. Compared to the Surging Waves Seven Layered Palm, it was indeed much more powerful.    

But soon, he realized that nearly half of his Yuan energy had been absorbed by this Shinra Seal!    

Generally speaking, the stronger a martial art was, the more Yuan energy it would transfer. Of course, a martial art like the Bloody Dragon, which could transfer blood and Qi, was a completely different story.    

After that, Xu Feng immediately sat down on the ground and took out a golden jade Qi Recovering Pill to consume.    

Instantly, the Yuan energy in the surrounding air surged towards Xu Feng like a tidal wave. In just an hour, Xu Feng felt that the Yuan energy in his body had already recovered to its original state!    

At this moment, the corner of Xu Feng's mouth curled into a smile. "The quality of the herbs cultivated from the green liquid is much higher than ordinary herbs. The effect of the Medicine Pill that was refined was also much better. Under normal circumstances, this Golden Jade Qi Recovering Pill... It should take two hours to fully replenish my Yuan energy, but now it only needs half an hour. This is truly surprising!"    

When his Yuan energy was fully restored, Xu Feng went to rest.    

Tomorrow was the day he made a wish to fight with Dung Ming. He had to adjust his condition to the best possible so as to avoid any unexpected mishaps.    

What he did not know was that at this moment, Taoist Master Qingshan and Jiang Haojing were sitting opposite each other and drinking in an isolated building within the Inner Academy.    

"Haojing, I heard that you have taken a fancy to an outer court disciple. You want to take him as your disciple, but you did not succeed?" Taoist Master Qingshan asked with a smile on his face.    

Jiang Haojing was startled. Immediately, he shook his head helplessly and said, "There is such a thing. I discovered that the disciple has extraordinary talent in alchemy. Hence, I wanted to take him in as my disciple and nurture a Second Grade Pill Alchemist for our academy!"    

Taoist Master Qingshan immediately laughed and said, "You actually only wish to nurture a Second Grade Pill Alchemist? Do you know that his martial arts talent is also extraordinary?"    

" Oh? Is there such a thing?" Jiang Haojing's expression immediately became solemn.    

"Of course. That kid entered the Black Tower twice and got that broken metal piece twice!" Taoist Master Qingshan's expression also became serious.    

"I'm afraid this can't prove anything. After all, the broken metal piece has already appeared several times." Jiang Haojing said.    

"You are wrong. If the first time was an accident, it would be fine. But the second time he took the piece of metal, he was clearly waiting for the broken piece to appear. This means that he has solved the secret of the broken piece of metal."    

Taoist Master Qingshan's finger gently tapped on the table and said slowly, "You also know that the broken metal piece was processed by a special method. Unless you are a martial arts genius, you will not be able to get anything from it!"    

"You think... he is such a genius?" Jiang Haojing quickly asked.    

"It's not that I think so, but he is. Besides, I think... This kid has a bit of fate with the Black Tower, or else... He won't be able to get the broken metal pieces even after receiving the rewards twice! " Taoist Master Qingshan raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Haojing, his expression becoming more and more serious.    

"Then what you mean is..." Jiang Haojing quickly asked.    

"There are still two months left. The inner court is going to hold a great battle between the strongest disciples. This time, find the Dean to fight the strongest disciple. Placing it in the Black Tower, of course, this great battle... We must let him participate..." Taoist Master Qingshan said.    

"But he is only an Early Martial Essence Stage now. Two months later..." Jiang Haojing looked worried.    

"Hehe..." Taoist Master Qingshan smiled and said slowly, "Do you know that he has only been in the academy for a little more than a month? From Martial Arts Seventh Layer to Martial Essence Stage? Two months is more than enough for him. Perhaps, he will become a dark horse in this battle between the strongest disciples!"
