69. Acquired Third Level

Lin Fei left the Task Hall, still thinking about Ling Yao.

Ling Yao was one of the top talents in the Nine Profound Sect, and her reputation precedes it.

She had befriended many inner disciples, so if she needed help, she could simply invite those disciples privately and many of them would be willing to assist her.

But why did Ling Yao publicly release a mission at the Task Hall, and why did she require a martial artist who acquired four levels at least to qualify?

How dangerous was the competition for the "Princess Position"?

Lin Fei looked up and said, "System."

Immediately, the system panel appeared before his eyes.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Acquired Third Level

Three Vitality Technique: Third Level (60% progress)

Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (11% progress)

Triple Wave Technique: Mastery (65% progress)

Leaping Technique: Mastery (21% progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)

Saber-drawing Technique: Mastery (51% progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)

In just over two months, Lin Fei's martial arts made significant progress. He had achieved the third level of the Three Vitality Technique and was even close to the fourth level.

He has opened up the Lung Channel and Heart Channel and was currently working on opening the Pericardium Channel. He was now a genuinely acquired third level martial artist.

The cultivation speed was astonishing. However, he seemed to be having some trouble opening the Pericardium Channel, and his progress had slowed down a bit.

He could only increase his daily cultivation progress by 3%. It was estimated that it would take some time to completely open the third channel and advance to the acquired fourth level.

As for the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, Lin Fei's practice of basic boxing increased his boxing skills, enabling him to achieve 11% progress in the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist.

However, he cannot raise it to the acquired level, as the inner power involved in boxing was very complex.

As for the Saber-drawing Technique, Triple Wave Technique, and Leaping Technique, Lin Fei made rapid progress and achieved mastery in all of them.

Especially the Saber-drawing Technique. Lin Fei wore the saber every day, nurturing the saber technique every day.

The saber had been nurtured for more than two months.

Once the saber was unsheathed, even Lin Fei didn't know what the power would be.

And there was inner power.

It was not displayed on the system panel.

But in reality, Lin Fei's inner power had made tremendous progress.

The three-in-one inner power allowed Lin Fei to have a continuous flow of inner power every day, gathering together.

The strength of Lin Fei's inner power was majestic.

Lin Fei felt that many acquired martial artists at the fifth, sixth, or even seventh level might not be as strong as him.

In just over two months, Lin Fei's comprehensive strength had at least increased tenfold!

With such strength by his side, Lin Fei remembered the help Ling Yao gave him in the beginning.

So, he had made up his mind.

In the beginning, Lin Fei owed Ling Yao a favor.

If Ling Yao needed help, he didn't mind lending a hand.

With this in mind, Lin Fei no longer hesitated and walked straight toward Ling Yao's courtyard.

...

In Ling Yao's courtyard.

Three female inner disciples sat around Ling Yao.

"Junior Sister Ling, have you contacted Senior Brother Chu and the others recently?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Chu used to be very fond of Junior Sister."

"Now that Junior Sister is competing for the position of Princess, it's time for Senior Brother Chu to show himself."

"With Senior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Ling will have a better chance of winning the position of Princess."

The Senior Brother Chu, the three female disciples kept mentioning, was a remarkable figure among the inner disciples of the Nine Profound Sect.

Young as he was, had already reached the seventh level of acquired.

His talent was even more amazing than Ling Yao's.

He was definitely an innate seedling!

Before, Ling Yao didn't dislike Senior Brother Chu.

If he could get innate, it would be a great help to her.

It was just that...

Ling Yao shook her head and said in a cold tone, "I've already contacted Senior Brother Chu, and he said he has important matters to attend to and has already left the mountain."

"What? Senior Brother Chu just broke through to the seventh level of acquired, how can there be any urgent matters? Moreover, no matter how important the matter is, can it be more important than Sister Ling competing for the position of the princess?"

"Hmph, it seems that Senior Brother Chu is also unreliable."

"Sister Ling, you can contact other senior brothers. Without Brother Chu, we still have hope."

"Yes, there are so many inner disciples in the Nine Profound Sect, it doesn't matter if we are missing one."

Ling Yao still said coldly, "I have already contacted Senior Brothers Zhao Yuanzheng, Luo Gang, Liu Fashi, and Zhang Yijian.

They are either in seclusion or have left the mountain, and none have come. And, I have already posted the task for several days. No one came here.

It seems that we can only rely on ourselves."

Although Ling Yao's tone remained unchanged, her heart had already grown cold.

She had thought that after so many years in the Nine Profound Sect, and having helped many fellow disciples, she would have received help in return when she needed it.

But now?

When she was in trouble and needed help, only a few close sisters were willing to help her.

"Sister Ling, when do we leave?"

"Yes, let's not wait any longer. If any inner disciple of Nine Profound Sect who meets the requirements is willing to help Sister Ling, they would have come already."

The other three female martial artists no longer wanted to wait.

"Okay, then we will leave tomorrow! Ling Yao thanks the three sisters for their help."

Ling Yao had already made up her mind.

However, she knew very well that the probability of success in competing for the position of the princess with these people was extremely low.

But she had no choice. She had to go!

"Senior Sister Ling."

At this moment, a male voice came from outside the courtyard.

"...Lin Fei?"

Ling Yao saw the figure outside the courtyard.

It was actually Lin Fei!

Ling Yao stood up, opened the courtyard door, and let Lin Fei enter.

Lin Fei saw three female disciples and knew they were all inner disciples.

So he clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the three senior sisters!"

Ling Yao introduced, "This is Junior Brother Lin Fei, who just entered the inner sect a few months ago."

The three female disciples looked at Ling Yao when they heard Lin Fei had only been an inner disciple for a few months.

They showed disappointment and lost interest in learning more about Lin Fei.

After all, those who had just become inner disciples for a few months were mostly just Body Refining martial artists.

What could they do?

Lin Fei didn't care and directly asked Ling Yao.

"I saw the task you posted on the task hall, Senior Sister. If Senior Sister encounters any trouble, I'm willing to lend a hand!"

Lin Fei didn't beat around the bush and directly explained his intention.

Ling Yao still hadn't spoken.

One of the female disciples laughed out loud, "Junior Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be braver than Senior Brother Chu and Liu.

At this time, there aren't many people willing to help Senior Sister Ling.

However, for Senior Sister Ling's matter, without having acquired strength above the fourth level, going there won't be of much help."

Lin Fei didn't speak but instead looked toward Ling Yao.

Ling Yao also sighed softly and said, "Not bad, Lin Fei. I'm glad you can come now. I understand your goodwill, but with your current strength, you cannot help me with my matter."

Ling Yao knew Lin Fei's background.

He had just entered the inner sect a few months ago.

How could he have the strength to help her now?

Lin Fei didn't say anything but went straight to the stone table of the three female disciples.

He reached out his hand and lightly pressed it on the stone table.
