Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 68 Meeting

Inside the secret chamber, Lin Feng, who had been in seclusion for an unknown period of time, was filled with joy. This was because the Five Elements Technique, which had been rebuilt, was now comparable in power to the high-level Earth-rank lightning-attribute technique, "Thunderous Might Technique."

"Phew, high risk really does bring high reward. On the surface, it's just a small upgrade, but in reality, it's a world of difference."

Lin Feng thought to himself with delight, "To give an example, if two cultivators of the same level were to fight, excluding factors such as combat experience, just considering the recovery power and ferocity of their techniques, this high-level Earth Rank cultivator would be several times stronger than the mid-level one."

Most importantly, although the conflict between the Five Elements Techniques was not perfectly resolved this time, if Lin Feng does not change his cultivation method in the future, or uses one high-level technique to control the other four low-level techniques, although it will not be as powerful as the Five Elements Balance Technique, it will still be enough to rival the geniuses of the imperial clans.

After all, there is no practical point in practicing high-level techniques when you are at a low level. Just spending time trying to understand these extremely profound techniques takes a long time. It is better to improve your own battle qi cultivation level.

For imperial clan prodigies with the bloodline of Dou Di, advancing to the Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng realms is remarkably easy. Therefore, it's not an exaggeration for Lin Feng to say he's no less capable than imperial clan prodigies.

"Moreover, switching cultivation methods has this kind of benefit!"

After sensing his own aura, Lin Feng realized that he had unknowingly reached the peak of the two-star Dou Wang realm.

"What a pity. If he hadn't just recently advanced to the two-star Dou Wang level, he might have been able to advance to the three-star Dou Wang level with this opportunity."

Lin Feng felt a slight pang of regret. If he could advance to a three-star Dou Wang, then by advancing another three stars, he could quickly reach the nine-star Dou Wang realm with the power of pills. At that time, Dou Huang would be just a step away.

After a brief moment of reflection, Lin Feng composed himself and began to assess his combat strength again. If Lin Feng had a system panel, his stats would look something like this.

Host: Lin Feng

Cultivation Techniques: Five Elements Technique (High-level Earth Rank), Grinding Mill Soul Forging Technique (High-level Yellow Rank)

Combat Techniques: Five Elements Sealing Technique, Vajra Finger, Lightning Step, Mystic-Rank Flight Combat Technique

Battle Qi Realm: Peak of Two-Star Battle King

Physical strength: Comparable to a fourth-tier high-level magical beast

Equipment: One-quarter of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Fragment.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Feng stroked his chin and carefully considered the matter. Although his body, which had been continuously cultivating for some time, was comparable to a high-level fourth-tier magical beast, for a Dou Wang (Battle King) level, every move he made involved the vast energy of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, for a Dou Wang who can transform their Dou Qi into wings, unless they possess the same level of physical strength, it's difficult to gain an advantage. After all, every Dou Wang who reaches this level is a highly experienced fighter, and relying solely on physical strength is no longer sufficient to create a significant advantage.

At this moment, a perverted old loli flashed through Lin Feng's mind—well, that was an exception. Therefore, relying solely on his physical body, Lin Feng could at most rival a three-star Dou Wang.

However, for people in the Northwest Continent, those at the high Earth Rank level mostly use Profound Rank techniques, and even the few who do use only low Earth Rank techniques. Therefore, with the advantage of his technique, Lin Feng could at least fight against opponents two or even three stars higher, which is equivalent to a five or six-star Dou Wang.

Furthermore, with the Five Elements Sealing Technique as a powerful weapon, not only can it be used to catch opponents off guard, but it can also be used to fight against opponents two or three stars higher in a direct confrontation without fear. As for other methods, they are only on par with ordinary Dou Wang powerhouses.

Furthermore, Lin Feng's powerful soul force, although he currently lacks effective soul attack methods, compensates for his relatively weak combat strength with his powerful perception, even allowing him to anticipate his opponent's attack targets.

It can be said that as long as it is not a Dou Huang who takes action, Lin Feng is fearless in this Northwest region.

However, when Lin Feng thought of Xiao Yan's combat power at the same level, he felt somewhat ashamed and once again felt exhausted by the unsolvable Buddha's Fury Lotus. Remembering the guy in the original story who, influenced by Hai Bodong, liked to play in the peak tournament and always managed to climb the ranks, Lin Feng's momentum involuntarily weakened slightly.

"Fine, if my combat strength is inferior to yours at the same level, then I'll leave you far behind in terms of realm."

Lin Feng then thought, "Moreover, the real opponents are those roaming monsters who prey on souls all day long."

Given Lin Feng's soul power, if he were targeted, he would have no chance of escape. True powerhouses are all cunning old foxes; when they make a move, they will go all out, like a lion hunting a rabbit.

Therefore, Lin Feng didn't need to consider Xiao Yan as an opponent. Although he wouldn't financially support Xiao Yan, having someone openly attract attention was beneficial for Lin Feng to quietly accumulate strength, so he never deliberately targeted Xiao Yan.

Although, under the protection of the young lady of the ancient clan, Lin Feng currently has no way to target her.

After thinking everything through, Lin Feng stood up.

"I wonder how long this seclusion has lasted. It's time to open the inner courtyard. I wonder if Old Man Huo has come out of seclusion yet."

He glanced in the direction of the administration building. "Moreover, we'll need Vice Dean Hu Qian's help with this."

"We must respond forcefully to this provocation from the Black Corner Region forces. While we cannot afford to start a war of annihilation, we must scare these shameless flies away and ensure that no one dares to provoke the academy for a long time to come."

"That's right, I happen to have some free time this time, so I'll lend my hand in this operation."

"It seems we'll indeed be adding a few more corpses to the Tree of Death!"

"kill!"

When Lin Feng arrived at the administration building, he heard a murderous voice coming from the conference room. The murderous intent in the last voice in particular sent chills down Lin Feng's spine.

"Elder Lin Feng has arrived? Please come in."

Perhaps the footsteps were a bit too loud, because Hu Qian, who was in the conference room, sensed the commotion and invited them over.

As Lin Feng slowly pushed open the conference room door, a dozen or so powerful figures, all at least at the Dou Wang level, came into view. Apart from Vice Dean Hu Qian, a middle-aged man exuding murderous aura caught Lin Feng's attention.

"Haha, it seems Elder Lin Feng's talent is not only astonishing in alchemy, but also in combat!"

When Hu Qian, the vice dean at the head of the table, saw Lin Feng enter, he stood up and pulled Lin Feng to sit down in a seat. Some elders who had just emerged from seclusion seemed a little surprised, not understanding why the vice dean would be so polite to a young man.

"Could it be that he's a genius from a powerful clan in the Central Plains?"

"Elders, please allow me to introduce you. This is Elder Lin Feng. He is the youngest Dou Wang in the academy's history, and also a fifth-grade alchemy master!"

Hu Qian's words shocked not only the elders who had just emerged from seclusion, but also those who knew him well, such as Elder Hu, who remained incredulous. Such a prodigy was rare even in the Central Continent, a place teeming with geniuses.

"Lin Feng greets all the seniors. If any of you seniors need any pills refined in the future, please feel free to ask me."

Faced with numerous veteran Dou Wangs who could rival him, and even several Dou Huangs who could easily defeat him, Lin Feng became much more polite. Although, he himself wasn't known for his arrogant temperament.

"Haha, Elder Lin Feng is indeed a prodigy! Not only is his talent astonishing, but he is also extremely adept at dealing with people!"

"Yes, yes, it is my great fortune to be able to have a marriage with Elder Lin Feng."

"If Elder Lin Feng ever needs anything in the future, please just ask, and I will definitely do my best to help."

"."

The elders were extremely polite to such a young alchemy master, not even considering his future achievement of the sixth rank or the legendary seventh rank. His mere presence was enough to make these white-haired elders, who had only recently become Dou Wangs, lower their guard.

Upon returning to the top seat, Hu Qian stroked his beard and smiled slightly, showing no other thoughts.

"Elder Lin Feng, let me introduce you. This is Wu Tianlang, the commander of the enforcement team!"
