Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Sword Tower Entrance!

Speaking of which, Du Shaoling’s proposal was fairly just.

He did not list the top students of the Heavenly Position Academy, Sea Blue Academy, and Wenyuan Academy among the bait, firstly because he did not want to provoke Jun Moxie and the others at the same time—in case they argued endlessly, they might waste even more time.

Secondly, the four of them were far stronger than the ordinary students present, with the most powerful combat capabilities and the greatest destructive power against demons.

Ling Feng touched his nose; although he didn’t think he was weaker than Du Shaoling and the others, in such circumstances, there was no need to reveal too much strength.

Chen Boguang took a deep breath, adjusted his True Qi, and activated his Protective Gang Qi, then ”plop” he jumped into the lake.

Within this lake water, there faintly lurked an energy of resentful spirits; the Yiijian Sect disciples who met their tragic deaths here, their endless Resentful Energy accumulating in the water.

If one carelessly failed to isolate this Resentful Energy with True Qi, they would likely lose their sanity and degenerate into a crazy murderer, knowing only slaughter.

After about the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Chen Boguang finally burst from the water, followed by a huge tentacle, incredibly thick.

”Holy shit, save me, ah...” Chen Boguang was running for his life, clearly much quicker—a sign he was probably using some Treasure that gave acceleration.

Du Shaoling and the other leaders, such as Jun Moxie, didn’t break their promise. They all deployed powerful Sword Skill or directly summoned Secret Treasures, ferociously attacking that giant tentacle.

The rest of the peak students also used their Divine Skills. The giant tentacle, hurt and enraged, soon a mountain-sized octopus-like Monster burst out of the lake—sure enough, it was a Fourth-rank Peak Demon.

Inside the lake waters, a Fourth-rank Peak Demon Beast was absolutely a fatal threat.

Finally, Chen Boguang managed to escape much to his relief, sitting collapsed to the side, watching the Octopus Monster with lingering fear in his heart while harboring enormous resentment towards Du Shaoling.

As soon as the Octopus Monster showed its face, and before it could unleash its violent Demon Essence, the thirty-something students from the Four Great Universities who had been waiting immediately struck with powerful swordsmanship.

They were all geniuses among geniuses, each with a certain ability to fight beyond their ranks.

In no time at all, the Octopus Monster was instantly killed, directly blown into pieces by countless attacks.

The first baiting mission was successful, greatly boosting the morale of the youths present.

Next, each of the students from the Four Great Universities, excluding Du Shaoling, Jun Moxie, Li Yunlong, and Chu Bingyun, took turns being the bait to lure and kill the demons in the lake.

They were all geniuses from various universities, protected by numerous Treasures. Unfortunately, even so, two of them were unlucky and died.

The path of cultivation was filled with corpses of countless failures; if a genius died, no matter how gifted they were, they were ultimately just a corpse.

Finally, it was Ling Feng’s turn.

Ling Feng smiled faintly; with his Heavenly Resistance ability like Unlimited Vision, he simply needed to avoid those monsters, without any worry about their existence.

So he was the one among everyone present who was the most fearless.

He jumped into the lake, used his True Qi to form a Protective Gang Shield, and isolated himself from the lake waters.

This Resentful Water was extremely toxic, not a single drop could touch him!

He dived deeper, and it seemed as though the earlier twenty or thirty people had already attracted the larger creatures in the shallower areas. After about seven and a half minutes had passed, Ling Feng hadn’t encountered any particularly challenging foes, and those Third-rank Late Stage or even Fourth-rank Early Stage demons, Ling Feng easily dispatched with a single strike of his sword.

He went deeper and deeper, and before long, Ling Feng had reached down over three thousand meters deep, where water pressure was enormously intense. Fortunately, Ling Feng’s sensory perception was incredibly sharp, allowing him to easily detect the movements of aquatic life and pinpoint its location.

Soon, Ling Feng detected three very powerful breaths. He took a deep breath and his expression became extremely serious.

Ling Feng clenched his fists and thought to himself: Earlier, the weaker monsters were all drawn out, leaving only these few, with extremely high Spiritual Wisdom who would not easily be attracted to leave the lake bottom.

Relying on Unlimited Vision, Ling Feng concealed all his breaths and carefully avoided the direction of these Great Demons, continuing to dive deeper in search for traces of the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower.

...

Half an hour later.

”Could that kid have died inside?” Some students began to speculate.

”Very likely!”

A disciple from True Dragon Academy nodded vigorously.

True Dragon Academy and Heavenly Position Academy did not get along, so they naturally wished that these students from Heavenly Position Academy would all perish.

”Could it be that Ling Feng encountered a Fifth-rank Demon Beast?” Ye Nanfeng, resting his chin in his hand, muttered to himself.

”Hmph! I’ll go take a look!”

Lee Bufan huffed, unable to contain his impatience.

It’s cold at the top, and while one might have many friends, a true opponent is hard to find!

Ling Feng, he was the lifelong rival in his heart!

”Boom!”

Just then, a loud explosion sounded, and a figure in white burst through the surface of the lake, effortlessly landing on the ground with grace.

If not Ling Feng, who else could the young man in white be?

Ling Feng took a breath and quickly walked towards the crowd. Ye Nanfeng’s heart leapt with joy, and he laughed heartily, ”I knew this guy wouldn’t be some short-lived ghost!”

”Huh? How come no monsters followed him this time?” Someone immediately voiced their suspicion.

”I think this guy just hid in the shallow waters the whole time, hardly putting in any effort. He’s a disgrace!”

Everyone had something to say, and Jun Moxie’s face turned slightly sour. After all, Ling Feng was a disciple of Heavenly Position Academy, and if Ling Feng had really skulked around in the shallow area for half a day, it would be a loss of face for the entire Heavenly Position Academy!

Ling Feng snorted coldly, not bothering to engage with those pointless remarks.

Instead, it was Chu Bingyun from Wenyuan Academy, who approached Ling Feng with a warm voice, ”Junior Brother, have you been injured during your dive? I can treat you.”

Chu Bingyun obviously had no good intentions; she simply wanted to get close to Ling Feng, hoping to learn some good news.

Ling Feng pursed his lips and waved his hand, ”I’m fine, I didn’t encounter any powerful monsters. Besides, it seems I was quite lucky, as I found the entrance to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower.”

In truth, had he not been unaware of any prohibitions around the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower, he might have already entered on his own.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed. After all the trouble they went through to get here, wasn’t it just to enter the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower?

”Good, good, good, Ling Feng, you’ve really helped us out this time!” A glint of amusement flashed in Jun Moxie’s eyes.

”Then lead the way,” Du Shaoling said, his eyes intently fixed on Ling Feng, as if trying to see right through him.

”Hehe...” Ling Feng chuckled softly, ”My dear Senior Brother, why should I lead the way for you?”

”Damn, has this guy lost his mind? Does he know who he’s talking to?”

In an instant, all the genius students stared at Ling Feng in astonishment. Even Jun Moxie couldn’t quite believe his ears.

Who is Du Shaoling?

A powerful figure who had opened up fifty-two meridians!

Even he was not willing to clash with Du Shaoling lightly, and yet Ling Feng dared to disregard this prodigy from the True Dragon Academy?
