Conquer the game world

Chapter 89 Yan Feng
After two bursts of red light, Qiu Jian was sent flying backwards. His body was covered in countless gruesome wounds from Ye Feng's sword energy, and blood stained the challenge platform. Qiu Jian was dead.

"Ye Feng wins the contest." The hollow voice echoed in the challenge room. At this moment, the bodies of Ye Feng and Qiu Jian on the challenge platform began to blur, and the next moment the two appeared below the platform.

"Impossible! How could this be?" Qiu Jian shouted frantically. "My sword energy is the strongest power I comprehended after entering the Spirit Form Realm. You, a newly initiated disciple, couldn't possibly possess such power! Impossible! No—"

Qiu Jian's frantic shouts abruptly stopped. He turned to look at Ye Feng again, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You... could it be that you've already broken through to the Spirit Form Realm?"

Needless to say, Ye Feng had already broken through to the Spirit Form Realm, so dealing with Qiu Jian was naturally a piece of cake.

"He won! He actually won! Ye Feng is too monstrous!" The crowd below all wore expressions of disbelief, while the faces of the older disciples were even more gloomy. As senior brothers who had been in the Yanluo Sect for several years, these people understood better than the new disciples what Qiu Jian's sword aura meant. It meant that Qiu Jian's ranking would definitely rise rapidly next time. And under such circumstances, Qiu Jian still lost to this new disciple in front of him. This was truly an unacceptable result.

Realizing this, the senior disciples felt a chill run down their spines and felt an unprecedented pressure. Yet, faced with this pressure, they had no intention of resisting, because they understood that they had been surpassed by a disciple who had only just begun his studies.

Other newly initiated disciples didn't think so much. To them, Ye Feng's victory meant that he brought honor to the new disciples. In fact, they were all aware of how the older disciples bullied the new disciples. Ye Feng's victory was like a way for them to vent their anger. Now, they all looked at Ye Feng with admiration. Some of the new female disciples even took the initiative to talk to Ye Feng and wanted to get to know him.

"A loss is a loss." Ye Feng said to Qiu Jian without any politeness, while glancing at Zhou Tianyu standing next to Qiu Jian. With just that one simple glance, Zhou Tianyu was so frightened that he couldn't breathe. Presumably, Zhou Tianyu would not dare to cause trouble for Ye Feng again in the future.

"Wait a minute, what about the ten Xuan Yuan Pills?" Ye Feng called out to Qiu Jian, who was pulling Zhou Tianyu away. These were the bets they had agreed on, and since he had won, he had to get them.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Qiu Jian's face darkened. He had boasted to Zhou Tianyu that he could never lose to Ye Feng and that the ten Xuan Yuan Pills Zhou Tianyu had prepared would be completely useless. Now he had made such a big joke.

However, the Xuan Yuan Pills that Yan Luo Sect had given him had already been used up in his cultivation, so he couldn't take them out at all. Thinking this, Qiu Jian could only turn pale and stare at Zhou Tianyu with a gloomy expression.

Although Zhou Tianyu was very unhappy, he was now clearly tied to Qiu Jian. If they didn't give in, neither of them would be able to escape. Thinking of Ye Feng's attack, Zhou Tianyu felt a chill run down his spine. At the same time, looking at Qiu Jian's gloomy face, Zhou Tianyu felt caught in the middle and was secretly groaning.

With no other option, Zhou Tianyu took out the ten Xuan Yuan Pills he had prepared beforehand and handed them to Ye Feng, then fled with Qiu Jian as if they were running away.

"Junior Brother Ye Feng, congratulations! I knew you would win." Lin Dong chimed in, though he hadn't believed Ye Feng could win at first. But he wouldn't say it out loud; all he could say was congratulations. As a seasoned veteran, Lin Dong was adept at adding to Ye Feng's success.

Having spent several years in the Yanluo Sect, Lin Dong had a very sharp eye. He could sense the strength of Qiu Jian's blade energy, but Ye Feng's sword energy lacked that same powerful aura. Unexpectedly, Ye Feng defeated Qiu Jian instead, which secretly alarmed Lin Dong.

Lin Dong thought to himself, "This must be what experts often refer to as 'concealed aura.' Having been around here for so long, Lin Dong had heard of this concept before, but he had never seen anyone like Ye Feng whose aura was almost imperceptible. This left Lin Dong both surprised and uncertain."

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Ye Feng defeated Qiu Jian is undeniable, which at least demonstrates Ye Feng's strength. This alone is enough to make Lin Dong want to get to know him better. Moreover, in Lin Dong's opinion, Ye Feng's performance might even give him the potential to break into the top 100 of the rankings.

What does it mean for a new disciple to break into the top 100 of the rankings on their first visit? Lin Dong had never heard of such a thing before. Even a warlike person like Qiu Jian only ranked outside the top 250 when he first broke into the rankings.

However, it doesn't mean that Ye Feng's defeat of Qiu Jian, ranked 105th, necessarily gives him the strength to break into the top 100. The rankings are determined monthly through assessments conducted within the Yanluo Sect's killing formation. These assessments require continuous high-intensity combat, and the assessment ends once someone is killed.

Ye Feng has now killed Qiu Jian with a single strike, but not everyone is optimistic about his chances. After all, in the killing formation, your enemies are constantly coming, not just one-on-one as they are now. Everyone thinks Ye Feng must have used his full strength to unleash such a powerful sword strike. In the killing formation, it's not just about killing enemies; preserving strength for a prolonged battle is also key to climbing the rankings. However, when it comes to endurance, our Ye Feng would probably just chuckle and say, "When it comes to endurance, I have plenty of red and blue potions. Who can compare to me?"

Ye Feng's feat of instantly killing Qiu Jian with a single sword strike quickly spread throughout the Yanluo Sect, making Ye Feng an idol among the new disciples. Originally, Ye Feng's score in the assessment was already higher than Qiu Jian's, and some disciples were indignant that Ye Feng was ranked second. Now, even more voices of indignation were raised in support of Ye Feng.

"That Yan Sen is just relying on his talent. What's so great about talent? I think he's no match for Ye Feng at all. He's far inferior to Ye Feng." Such discussions were rampant among the new disciples. Compared to Yan Sen's unattainable six-star talent, Ye Feng's three-star talent was more similar to the new disciples' aptitude, and even inferior to many of his fellow disciples.

This made Ye Feng increasingly popular among his fellow disciples. After all, everyone wanted to see a commoner hero like themselves rise to the top, rather than the unapproachable Yan Sen suppressing disciples like them who had less talent.

Inside a pavilion-style mansion of the Yanluo Sect, the living environment was far superior to where Ye Feng lived, and the enormous size of the mansion highlighted the extraordinary nature of its owner.

Yan Sen was in the courtyard at this moment, but his expression was completely devoid of his usual arrogance, replaced by a respectful demeanor.

"Brother, that Ye Feng actually defeated Qiu Jian, who is ranked 105th, with a single sword strike." Yan Sen said fiercely. When he first joined the sect, he boasted that he would surpass Ye Feng. He never expected that in such a short time, he would feel that the gap between him and Ye Feng was widening.

The elder brother Yan Sen mentioned was the person in front of him. Upon closer inspection, this person had a handsome face and a dashing appearance, possessing the demeanor of a master swordsman. This person was none other than Yan Feng, the number one disciple of the Yanluo Sect. Yan Feng and Yan Sen both came from the Yan family. Yan Feng was the eldest son in his family. Although he and Yan Sen were only half-brothers, he could still be considered Yan Sen's elder brother.

Yan Sen can be considered the most talented member of the Yan family in this generation. However, unfortunately, he was suppressed by his older brother from a young age. Although Yan Feng's talent was not as good as Yan Sen's, Yan Sen was far inferior in terms of fighting skills. Having witnessed Yan Feng's terrifying strength, the feeling of being suppressed without any thought of resistance always made Yan Sen tremble with fear. Therefore, Yan Sen never dared to act rashly in front of Yan Feng and was always respectful.

"Hmph, just a newly initiated disciple, what's there to worry about?" Yan Feng said disdainfully. Although the strength shown by the newly initiated disciple was somewhat surprising, it was nothing special and not worth Yan Feng's attention. In Yan Feng's eyes, only the strong and those stronger than himself could attract his attention. He didn't even consider a mere Ye Feng a threat.

"I heard this guy is only a three-star talent, I don't know why he's so strong." Yan Sen gritted his teeth and said, feeling frustrated. Ye Feng made him feel defeated.

"Why do you belittle yourself? I think this person has only gained some good fortune and his strength has increased dramatically. He certainly won't improve much in the future," Yan Feng scolded. "On the contrary, you obtained the Spirit Soul Pill in this assessment. Seize the time to refine it. With your high talent, your future achievements will definitely surpass those of Ye Feng."

"These days you should focus on refining the Spirit Soul Pill, don't waste your energy on these trivial matters," Yan Feng continued.

"Yes, brother." Yan Sen replied, but his mind was full of thoughts about Ye Feng. It seemed that Yan Feng would not help him. If Ye Feng's matter was not resolved, it would definitely leave a shadow in his heart, which would probably affect his mentality in cultivation, and his cultivation would probably not make any progress.

But how can I get rid of Ye Feng? The families within the Yanluo Sect definitely can't interfere, and my older brother won't help. In terms of fighting strength, I can't beat Ye Feng. What should I do?

After dealing with the first trouble he encountered after arriving at Yanluo Sect, Ye Feng's life didn't change much. Every day, Ye Feng would go to the library to read books, mainly books on elixirs.

"Junior Brother Ye, you've arrived so early today! You're truly diligent. It seems you're destined for greatness in alchemy." The old gatekeeper greeted Ye Feng warmly upon his arrival. Ye Feng had been coming every day lately and had become quite familiar with the old gatekeeper.

"Uncle-Master, please don't tease me. I'm far from being good enough." Ye Feng knew his own limitations. He could make a few pills using game-aided skills, but he had never considered refining pills in this world, nor did he care about such things now.
