Rule

Lin Feng's killing of Ke Cheng might have been attributed to Ke Cheng's carelessness and underestimation, as he was still in a struggle with Zuning when dealing with Lin Feng.

However, witnessing Ke Cheng's death firsthand, Zuning naturally couldn't afford to be careless anymore. He went all out, releasing his Hawk Eye martial soul. Yet, Lin Feng, with his cultivation at the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, still cleanly defeated Zuning, pressing him to the point of having no room to fight back, until finally killing him outright, without any tricks.

"This person is formidable, even Zuning was killed. How come I haven't seen him before?"

At this moment, on the open space of the third floor of the cultivation tower, many people had gathered there, whispering among themselves. They had also witnessed how Lin Feng had effortlessly killed Zuning with a single sword.

"Hehe, you don't even recognize him. Recently, the most famous person in our Heavenly One Academy is him."

"The most famous person?" The person who spoke earlier slightly narrowed his eyes, saying, "Could it be Lin Feng who fought against the Black Demon?"

"Lin Feng!"

Yu Jiao's gaze trembled. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, skilled in swordsmanship, confident and arrogant, thinking of those descriptions of Lin Feng, a tremor ran through Yu Jiao's heart.

"At the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, he killed both Zuning and Ke Cheng, whom I've never met before. This person must be Lin Feng without a doubt."

A hint of retreat emerged in her mind. Yu Jiao, like Ke Cheng and Zuning, was also at the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. If it came to a fight, she might not even be as good as the two of them. Lin Feng had killed both Zuning and Ke Cheng. If he wanted to kill her, he could do so as well.

With a sword in hand, Lin Feng played the tune of confrontation, causing a shiver in Yu Jiao's heart, her eyes flickering incessantly.

"We have no grievances, and I can give you the cultivation room. Why bother with me, a weak woman?"

A smile appeared in Yu Jiao's eyes, with a hint of allure. Lin Feng sneered inwardly. This woman could still show such a smile at this moment; her cunning was terrifying.

"We indeed had no grievances before. However, just now, if my strength were a little weaker, it would be me lying on the ground now. You say, why should I not bother with you, a weak woman?" Lin Feng said coldly, stepping forward.

"What do you want then?" Yu Jiao asked.

"To cripple your cultivation," Lin Feng said indifferently. This woman, if left alive, would cause trouble for others.

"Cripple my cultivation!"

Yu Jiao's gaze trembled. She had worked hard to cultivate to the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. How could she be crippled?

"Is there no other solution?" Yu Jiao asked again.

"No," Lin Feng's voice was calm but carried an unmistakable tone of finality.

Yu Jiao's face stiffened, gritting her teeth. "You...!"

With that, Yu Jiao's body trembled. In an instant, she leaped over the crowd and came to the outside of another cultivation room, directly pounding the stone door of the cultivation room fiercely. Each punch was like thunder, echoing in the space.

The crowd all stepped aside, clearing the middle ground. Lin Feng stepped forward, and suddenly, there were booming sounds from the four cultivation rooms in front of him. Four figures emerged from the rooms. There were already two vacant rooms on the third floor, as Ke Cheng and Zuning had been killed. Now, with these four coming out, all eight cultivation rooms on the third floor were empty.

However, at this moment, no one dared to snatch them. The first three floors were forbidden grounds for many people. Only those with a certain level of strength could enter.

"Yu Jiao, what do you mean by this?" One person saw Yu Jiao standing outside the room and couldn't help but frown, asking.

"Someone wants to kill me," Yu Jiao said to them.

"Kill you?" The four people who came out showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Someone actually dared to lay hands on her, and with thorns no less.

"Someone wants to kill you, what does it have to do with us?" One of them flashed a sardonic look and said with a smile.

"Gong Lun, you really have no conscience." Yu Jiao smiled at the person who spoke, throwing a flirtatious glance and saying, "If I die, who will play with you guys?"

"Play?" There was a hint of a smirk in Gong Lun's eyes. His gaze swept over Yu Jiao, saying, "If you haven't died, haven't I played with you before?"

Yu Jiao threw Gong Lun a flirtatious look, smiling, "If you really want that, help me with something."

"Oh?" A wicked smile flashed in Gong Lun's eyes. "Don't expect me to do the impossible for you."

"Of course not. As long as you help me kill him, I will sleep with you tonight and make sure you're satisfied."

Yu Jiao giggled, her eyes like silk, igniting a hint of wicked fire in the hearts of the onlookers. This woman, indeed a seductress.

"The same goes for you. Whoever kills him in the end, I will accompany that person." Yu Jiao looked at the other three, pointing at Lin Feng.

The three men's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. This condition was indeed tempting.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ke Cheng and Zuning should have died at his hands. You ask us to kill him. Isn't that harming us? Besides, the cultivation tower doesn't allow killing." One person looked at Yu Jiao with a smile that was not a smile.

"They did indeed die at his hands. This person is at the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm and is proficient in swordsmanship. Relying on his strength, he dared to bully me and tried to take over my cultivation room. How could I agree to that? So I had Ke Cheng and Zuning deal with him. But those two idiots ended up fighting each other. Ke Cheng was directly killed by a sword, and Zuning, on his own, also died under his sword."

"At the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, proficient in swordsmanship?" Gong Lun was a little skeptical since he hadn't seen Lin Feng make a move just now.

"If his strength were a little stronger, he would be on the second floor already. You can ask about this." Yu Jiao knew what Gong Lun meant. Gong Lun's gaze turned and fell on the crowd.

At this moment, Lin Feng glanced at the crowd, his tone indifferent. "Have you finished talking nonsense?"

"Hmm?" Gong Lun frowned, staring at Lin Feng.

"If you're done with the nonsense, get out of the way." A chill emanated from Lin Feng, a strong killing intent bursting out. Gong Lun's gaze narrowed, but soon a smile appeared on his face. Indeed, at the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, with his swordsmanship, he was enough to deal with an ordinary person

 at the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm. However, Ke Cheng and Zuning were truly useless to be killed like that.

"Don't you think you're too arrogant?" Gong Lun sneered. "To be honest, although the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm is not weak, it's nothing in our eyes. As for Ke Cheng and Zuning, if you think that killing them gives you the right to show off here, then let me tell you, you are incredibly foolish. Zuning, doesn't even have the qualifications to be with us."

"Are you done?" Lin Feng seemed to have not heard Gong Lun's words at all, saying indifferently, making Gong Lun's eyes freeze, a glint of coldness flashing in them. This guy was so disrespectful to him.

"I'm done. Now get lost."

As Lin Feng stepped forward, the chill intensified.

"Ignorant fool. Not only did you snatch the cultivation room, but you also dared to kill here. By killing you, I'm also cleaning up the Heavenly One Academy's mess." Gong Lun stared at Lin Feng, his expression cold.

"Ignorant? Just because you carved the word 'forbidden' outside your cultivation room, you don't use it, and no one else can? Is that your rule? Also, they wanted to kill me but ended up being killed by me. Is that also ignorance? Let me ask you, who set your rules?" Lin Feng said coldly.

"Strength," Gong Lun sneered. "Only those with strength have the right to set rules. Those with strength carve the word 'forbidden' outside their cultivation rooms, and you, of course, are not allowed in. As for those two useless people, being killed by you, they deserved it. But now, if I kill you, you also deserve it. That's the rule."

"I understand."

Lin Feng smiled lightly, stepped forward, and, like a phantom, his sword thrust out.

This sword was plain and unremarkable, without any fierce sword intent accompanying it. But in an instant, it arrived in front of Gong Lun.

Gong Lun sneered, waiting for Lin Feng's sword to arrive. Abruptly, an extremely strong sense of destruction descended upon him, making his heart tremble. He dodged and avoided the sword, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his chest. Lowering his head, Gong Lun's smile had long vanished from his face, replaced only by distortion and pain.

In his chest, a long sword was stuck there.

He, Gong Lun, was killed in one strike.

"The rules you want, I'll give them to you." Lin Feng's indifferent voice trembled in the ears of the crowd, making their hearts pound wildly. This, is the rule.
