The atmosphere in the Scholar Hall was usually so tranquil, filled with the aroma of ancient papers, newly dried ink, and the echo of students' footsteps walking orderly. However, that morning, the atmosphere felt far more tense. News about the heavy punishment imposed by Master Ye Jinshi on Lin Feng spread as fast as fire blown by strong wind in the dry season. That news crossed hall boundaries, creeping to the ears of several students in the Battle Hall who all this time looked with disdain at every movement in the Scholar Hall.The arrogant Lao Wei only smiled with satisfaction upon hearing that news, while Dan Wuji's group laughed heartily, feeling that the "trash disciple" finally got his deserved retribution. However, for one person, this news was a hard blow that made his heart almost stop beating.Zhang Hao ran hastily along the rocky footpath toward the Scholar Hall complex. Sweat soaked his temples and flooded his robe, his face filled with real anxiety and suppressed anger.

The evening wind blew strongly around the waterfall, bringing a refreshing cold air. On the tray, their food bowls were both already empty, but Lin Feng and Cen Linxi were still sitting on the flat stone, engaged in a more serious conversation."You ask how I could reach Heaven Soul this fast?" Cen Linxi stared at the water ripples carefully. "The answer is simple, Feng. The fastest way to increase soul power is by torturing the soul itself."Lin Feng was stunned. He looked at his hands which now had a texture as hard as stone due to body purification. "Torturing the soul? Do you mean the same as body purification?"Lin Feng couldn't imagine what kind of pain would arise from soul torture. That was clearly far more dangerous than body torture because if the soul was injured too severely, it could drive someone mad.However, thinking about it, Cen Linxi also tortured her soul using an artifact, namely the Torment Ring. Was there really no other way?"Correct," Cen Linxi nodded slowly.

The stench of black sweat expelled by Lin Feng's body as a result of the Stone Body purification process was still pungent. Cen Linxi, while covering her nose with her small handkerchief but still smiling, pointed toward the clear waterfall stream in front of them."You should bathe in the river first," said Cen Linxi while chuckling softly. "The smell of your body purification is truly extraordinary. I will prepare our eating place while you clean yourself."Lin Feng just realized how dirty the robe he wore was after successfully breaking through to Stone Body. He nodded with a shame that he rarely showed. "Sorry, Senior. I really wasn't aware. Wait a moment, I won't be long."Lin Feng obeyed and immediately jumped to the calmer part of the river. The cold mountain water touched his skin which now felt denser and sturdier. After bathing and changing clothes with a new robe he brought in his storage ring, he returned to the original place to eat together with Cen Linxi.The aroma of C

Three days had passed since Lin Feng moved to Master Ye Jinshi's residence on the top floor of the Scholar Hall. During that time, Lin Feng kept hoping Qiao Mulan would appear again in his dream realm to give guidance or at least answers to the chaos that was happening, but the mysterious woman's figure seemed to have vanished into the mist.Though disappointed, Lin Feng did not let his time go to waste. Under Ye Jinshi's strict supervision, he managed to solidify his energy foundation. On the third night, the Qi flow inside his body suddenly overflowed, breaking through meridian barriers, and bringing him up to the realm of level three Marrow Refinement.That morning, in the open courtyard behind the hall, Ye Jinshi stood watching him."You are too obsessed with high-level rune power, Feng," said Ye Jinshi while stroking his white beard. "I notice every time you train, you always try to force yourself beyond your soul's limits. Remember the previous incident? You almost destroyed you

Dawn had just broken, inserting reddish hues among the pine treetops surrounding the inner courtyard of the Cloud Sword Sect. However, that morning tranquility was disturbed by the hurried footsteps of a group of disciples led by Zhang Hao and several elders. In the middle of the damp forest footpath, they crossed paths with Ye Jinshi who was carefully carrying Lin Feng's body."Elder Ye!" Zhang Hao shouted with panting breath, his face deathly pale from anxiety. "How is Lin Feng? What happened?!"Ye Jinshi stopped his steps, his old face looking very exhausted but his eyes radiating cold resoluteness. "He was kidnapped by an intruder," he answered briefly. "The intruder died from swallowing a poison pill moments after I incapacitated him to keep the secret."An elder stepped forward with a furrowed brow. "Dead? Who were they?""Who knows, the corpse is in the forest over there," Ye Jinshi pointed toward the forest darkness with his chin. "You all handle the remains and investigate hi

Crat!Fresh blood splashed into the air, wetting the cold grass in the middle of the night. Lin Feng let out a suppressed scream, his teeth gritting to endure the pain that seemed to sting to the bone. His left shoulder was torn, but his eyes remained sharp locking onto his opponent's movements."Tch, just slightly off," hissed the intruder from behind his black veil.Lin Feng did not let his opponent catch his breath. Though his shoulder was drenched in blood, his right hand still firmly held his sword. Just now, in the crucial seconds, he had managed to move his sword blade to deflect the assassin's deadly attack direction."Don't celebrate yet!" Lin Feng shouted.While his opponent was still stunned because his attack was broken by a low-level disciple, Lin Feng used his trembling left hand to draw characters in the air with lightning speed.Whoosh!A reddish flame burst from the tip of Lin Feng's brush, shooting toward the intruder's face. However, the man in black turned out to h
