11. Two Breakthroughs At Once!

At the 3rd Peak, the disciples paid more attention to him when he arrived. Lin Feng came here often, so he was familiar with a few. Other disciples also came to greet him. Everyone noticed how Lin Feng didn't try to hook up female disciples and instead just climbed the peak. Those unaware of his recent change were quite shocked.

At the base, the older inner disciples talked amongst themselves while looking at Lin Feng's figure up on the mountain. They were waiting for him to make progress in his cultivation. With the Great Lin family's resources, it was possible for Lin Feng to catch up with the other young masters. If that happened, the power structure of the disciples would change.

In the clan, all young masters/misses, except Lin Feng and four others, had their own factions. The moment there was a new inner disciple, he or she would be invited to join one of the 12 existing factions. Joining a faction was a lot beneficial as the young miss or master backing it would provide the disciples with free resources for loyalty.

One could choose not to join a faction, but improving would be difficult unless the said disciple was very talented in cultivation. He/she would also have to be careful not to offend anyone or the faction behind that person would act.

If Lin Feng created a faction of his own after he improved his cultivation, then a new power would struggle for the resources in the Inner Clan. At present, Young Master Fang Jianyu, the disciple ranked 1st, had the biggest faction. As he was already a mid-stage Foundation Realm cultivator at 27, his might could be compared to that of Inner Elders.

Against other clans, Fang Jianyu was the face of the Storm Feather Clan's younger generation. In the Alliance Competition last year, he placed 6th among other clan geniuses. That was an impressive feat and even the Core Elders were pleased by it.

It would be difficult for any young master in the clan, including Lin Feng, to surpass such a prodigy. Even if he made a faction, it wouldn't be any better than the existing ones - they all thought.

When Lin Feng started his cultivation journey, his speed was the fastest among all. Thus, some were still interested to know what was going to happen now that this young master was back on track.

At the top of the Third Peak, bathing in the dense Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, Lin Feng sat in a lotus position. Climbing up, he had noticed young master Fang Chen, who greeted him with an indifferent nod before flying away. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm had the ability of flight.

''Ah, I miss my flying sword now…'' Lin Feng sighed as he took out the pill case from his low-tier superior-grade spatial ring.

He then put all the irrelevant thoughts to the back of his mind and popped the pill inside his mouth. Only using the breathing technique of the Reverend Essence Chaos Scripture, Lin Feng started gathering the surrounding Qi.

Immediately, the pill's energies started affecting his cultivation base. He could feel his dantian steadily enlarging. His body was like a vortex as it crazily sucked the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Within a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng broke through to the fourth layer. However, it wasn't stopping.

The potency of his Instant Breakthrough Pill was way higher than normal ones. More than half of the Yang energy still remained. At this moment, Lin Feng finally entered the Sublime State and fully started using his cultivation technique.

The effect was amplified, and Qi concentrated around him. He could feel it against his skin. They entered through his acupoints, travelled through his strengthened meridians, and accumulated in his dantian, which was getting bigger due to the pressure.

5th Layer of Qi Gathering! Lin Feng broke through again. He could feel power surging through his whole body. However, to his shock, it was still not over.

He cultivated more for another hour and his cultivation base increased more, only stopping when he reached the peak of the 5th layer. Lin Feng opened his eyes and stood up.

''Great! It seems I underestimated the Reverend Essence Chaos Scripture. When it is complemented with an effective pill, I can reach greater heights. Now my overall strength has quadrupled!'' He felt like fighting someone after breaking through.

He could feel that, within another two days, he could reach the 6th layer of Qi gathering. Then he would finally have the sufficient capacity to check Bai Xue's legs. Lin Feng had his own technique to check someone's internal organs. He had invented it for killing, but it ended up being a medical method instead.

''I should focus on training for this entire week. I will have fully adapted to this body by then. Some rest is good as well…'' Lin Feng muttered.

In his past life, he had cultivated tirelessly and didn't pay attention to anything. That was not the way to live a life. He had missed out on everything mortals did while pursuing immortality. In his new life, Lin Feng would not be like that. Well… not until he reached 'that' realm.

Cultivators always joked when someone reached the Nascent Soul Realm. They all agreed that the name should be changed to Turtle Speed Realm or True Closed Doors Realm instead. It was no wonder most cultivators just gave up after reaching that stage. It would take hundreds of years to make any substantial progress.

Every cultivator, no matter how talented, held deep respect for those who passed that damned stage and reached the hellish realm known as Spirit Ascension. However, in Lin Feng's case… he just breezed past everything.

He stayed at the Spirit Ascension Realm for merely 2 years before advancing to the Soul Returning Realm. Thus, all those old monsters hated his guts. But they could only smile and bitterly flaunt him.

Lin Feng chuckled remembering those days and descended the Third Peak. When he reached the base, he saw a group of disciples coming forward to stop him.

''Wait, Young Master Feng.''

Lin Feng stopped and asked, ''What?''

A brown-robed cultivator stepped forward, cupped his fists, and bowed. Straightening himself, he said, ''I'd like to have a friendly match with you.''

Hearing him, Lin Feng probed his cultivation base. With the amount of Qi this cultivator passively attracted, Lin Feng could see that he was at the 7th layer of Qi Gathering.

The disciples suddenly let out surprised yelps when they sensed Lin Feng's cultivation base. How… how did he reach the 5th layer? Wasn't he a 3rd layer cultivator just a few hours ago?

''Sure, I guess. Actually, you all should come together,'' Lin Feng replied and got into a fighting position.

''Huh?''

''Did he really say that?''

The surrounding disciples looked shocked. The strongest among them was a 9th layer Qi Gathering cultivator. He could probably defeat this young master in one move. They all glanced at each other and saw confusion on their faces. Looking at Lin Feng's stance, the five of them knew he was being serious.

'Well, if he wants to get beaten up, then I'm in.'

'He doesn't put us in the eyes at all. Aiyaya, why do these young masters always have to be so arrogant?'

'Hmph, I've always wanted to kick this Lin Feng's face. He got all the girls while I'm still a virgin!'

With such thoughts in their minds, they circled Lin Feng, reminding themselves that they couldn't seriously hurt him. However, they would still get some satisfaction today.

''Then, young master, we're ready whenever you are,'' One of them said.

''Be careful.'' As they were respectful, Lin Feng generously warned and kicked the ground.

Whoosh!

All of them reacted and used their techniques to land a hit on Lin Feng's body. However, they became shocked a moment later when he effortlessly dodged them.

Flow Like Silk. This technique required extreme focus and subtlety of movements. In his new body, Lin Feng could only display 70% of its full capacity. Still, that was enough to stun the disciples, and that's when he hit.

Just a normal punch filled with his thick Qi.

Bam! Completely not expecting this, the disciple flew backward and landed on the ground. The others moved at this moment.

''Hah!''

''Three Circle Kick!''

''Soft and Hard Punch!''

It seemed they all had a tendency to shout the names of their martial arts when they attacked. It was because when practicing; they were taught to shout them out loud for better focus and memory. Thus, almost all disciples did this, as it was already a habit.

''What the fuck!''

''Damn it!''

Well, these weren't martial art names. They were cursing because here Lin Feng pulled a little trick on them. Using his Flow Like Silk technique, he moved one step ahead of them, predicting their movements. Thus, no matter how they tried, they couldn't touch him and it frustrated them to no extent. Lin Feng just casually punched the disciples, who got distracted, taking them out with ease.

However, the cultivator of the 9th layer was different. He immediately found a method to cope with it - that is brute force. Lin Feng changed his tactics when only two disciples were remaining.

At this moment, a palm attack came from his left and a dangerous punch from his right. Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and suddenly rotated his body, jumping high up.

He used a low-tier superior-grade martial art, Soaring Strike!
