A week went by in a flash.
Lin Feng has spent the time locked up in his dorm room.
Though he skipped the graduation ceremony, he was practicing the new move Xian had taught him.
There were countless wounds on his body and sweat pooled on his forehead.
“I'm surprised that you are able to come this far. Most humans would have died.” Xian said with an air of satisfaction.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth. How could this salamander forget that he, Lin Feng, had also almost died.
“I haven't gotten it to perfection.” Lin Feng said, getting into a fighting stance again.
Xian could only watch the young man.
From the few days he had spent with him, he already understood that this man wasn't driven by a thirst for power.
But he still didn't know what drove him to push his body so hard.
“Peasant, why do you work so hard? Do you plan to stand at the pinnacle of power by my side?” Xian asked with a smirk
“Revenge.” Lin Feng uttered, while still practicing his Primordial move.
This caught Xian off guard, but he didn't say anything
When Lin Feng was done, he walked into the bathroom and took his bath.
He hadn't had one in almost a week, because of the time it took to practice a single step from the moves.
“Once I'm done with my plans, I can get into Heaven's Sky Court and leave this damned sect.”
“Would you go straight to meet your challenger?” Xian asked him, leaping onto his shoulders.
Lin Feng shook his head, “I'd have to go collect my Prime Jade Token. Every graduate student needs that to apply at the Heaven's Sky Court.”
Xian nodded, “Why do you want to even go to such a place? I can teach you everything you need right here! As the Great Xian Xian!”
“Xiao Chen is a Core Disciple of the Heaven's Sky Court. The year he came back to deliver resources to his lover, Yun Feng was the year they connived to frame me.” Lin Feng explained.
“Would you allow revenge to determine your life's path?” Xian was curious. He had seen a lot of cultivators in his long years, and the lot who had lived for revenge never ended well.
Lin Feng smiled, “I only want to clear my name, and once that happens. I'd create my own sect. A sect that deals in fairness and honesty, one that empowers the weak, and creates people filled with strength.”
Xian merely nodded. “If you were alone, you'd have failed. But now that I am with you, you have a greater chance of success.”
“You praise yourself too much.” Lin Feng rolled his eyes, stepping out of his room.
On reaching the hall, he had expected everyone to be back from the ceremony but the place was still empty.
“Is it still going on? It wouldn't hurt to check anyways.” Lin Feng muttered and found his way to the large event hall.
The moment he entered, the echoing of the announcer's voice resounded in the hall.
“Lin Feng. Please come to the stage in honour of being the best graduating student in the academy.”
In Lin Feng's summon space, Xian could barely contain his laughter.
“This has to be the best timing I have seen.” He erupted in laughter.
Lin Feng furrowed his brow, especially when the camera was pointed at him.
No one clapped and they all merely looked at him.
“At least I get what I came for.” Lin Feng mumbled.
He walked to the stage, holding his head high, whole Xian laid on top of his head, tanning his stomach with the hot sun.
The educator held the graduation scroll wrapped with a red ribbon.
“Congratulations on being a student of ThunderGale Academy. We hope to see you achieve more esteemed feats.” The educator said, but didn't even spare a glance at Lin Feng.
Something was wrong and Lin Feng frowned.
“I'm meant to get a Prime Jade Token also, like the other graduating students.” He said, looking at the educator.
“Unfortunately Lin Feng, due to your previous actions and reputation as a rapist and a murderer. The academy forbids you from representing them in the Heavens Sky Court Institution.”
A murderer?
That one was new.
Lin Feng narrowed his gaze, “I was in self defense and his death was his own fault.” He uttered, his voice heard by everyone.
However, it was only met with boos and shaming from the crowd.
“These disgusting humans.” Lin Feng clenched his fist.
He didn't care. If they didn't give him the Jade Token, he would find another way to get it.
“Unfortunately Lin Feng, that wasn't the story we heard.” The educator said, but Lin Feng was already walking away.
He didn't care what they heard, and now he had no reason to stay in this toxic city.
A loud roar echoed in the hall, and a lion made of flames leapt forward, blocking Lin Feng's path.
They stood in the middle of the hall.
Williams jumped down from his summon, an evil smile was plastered to his face.
“To think you'd do even more wicked things by killing a cultivator. You reduced our nation's fighting chance against the Preliminary Sect War.” William called out, earning cheers from the crowd.
“It is only right that you must be dealt with and let me remind you that you already accepted my duel last week.” William repeated.
Lin Feng smiled. This William was truly cunning.
He gained the crowd's approval by using a sense of justice and removed their guilt by making it look like Lin Feng agreed to it.
“Even if I escaped here, you would have found other ways to kill me." Lin Feng uttered.
Williams snickered, “I'm not a murderer like you.”
“Flamelion, Rain of Ashes!”

His body no longer convulsed and his screams had faded into silence, but the power that now coursed through him was undeniable.Leona knelt beside him, her hand hovering over his chest. She could feel the energy radiating from him, cold and ancient and intense. The darkness had settled, but it had not disappeared. It was part of him now, woven into the very fabric of his being.She hesitated to touch him, unsure if her presence would disrupt whatever process was still unfolding within him."Is he alright?" Leona asked, her voice low and controlled.Shin stepped closer, his lightning-flecked fur crackling softly. "He is more than alright. He has absorbed the souls of the fallen. Their power is now part of him."Xian's scales bristled. "That sounds like something a demon would do."Shin gla

His eyes were fixed on Mo Juan, cold and calculating, his fists clenched at his sides. Beside him, the shadows coiled and writhed, responding to his will like loyal servants.Mo Juan straightened slowly, wiping the blood from his face with the back of his hand. His eyes burned with a mixture of fury and disbelief, his body trembling with barely contained rage at the sheer monstrosity of the man before him.He had not expected to find Lin Feng at Dao Body realm. And he definitely had not expected to face a Shadow Lord who could match his power."Those two assholes played me. They didn't tell me he has g

Lin Feng focused his attention on the Purple Hearts Sect, his eyes scanning the battlefield for any sign of Yun Feng or Xiao Chen. He tore through their ranks with brutal efficiency, his movements powered by the strength of his newly transformed body. Each strike from his bare hands sent disciples flying, their weapons shattering against his skin like glass."Heart shattering crimson formation!" Disciples of the purple heart sect screamed, forming a strange formation around him, but he was less bothered, confident in the strength his body contained. Plus he hadn't played all his card yet.Dark energy exploded from his body, swallowing the Purple Hearts disciples in a wave of shadow. They screamed as the darkness consumed them, their bodies writhing in agony as the shadow energy tore through their meridians.Their cultivation bases shattered, their power drained and their bodies broken.His first target was the formation of senior disciples that had been gathered to counter him.

Lin Feng stood at the gates of the Shadow Covenant settlement, his gaze fixed on the distant figures of the enemy camps. The mist swirled around him, thick and grey, but his eyes pierced through it with unnatural clarity. Beside him stood Shin, Xian and Leona, their bodies tense and their energy radiating with anticipation.After Shin had decided that it was best they fought with their individual strength to test their limits, Leona had offered to come along. According to her, she could not think of a better opportunity to test out her Crystal art cultivation technique.The Shadow Covenant disciples watched in disbelief. They had gathered at the walls, their faces a mixture of shock and concern as they watched their Shadow Lord prepare to walk into what they believed was certain death."They are insane," one disciple murmured. "Just four of them against the combined forces of three major sects? They will not last an hour."Another shook his head. "They will be dead before they even

Lin Feng met up with Su Yan, with Leona, Shin and Xian by his side. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the cat, wondering when Lin Feng had suddenly acquired such a creature, but before she could ask any questions about the cat, Lin Feng cleared his throat, grabbing her attention."Shadow Lord," she bowed her head in respect, and so did the others beside her. Lin Feng frowned, watching her, wondering if he would ever get used to this."I heard a little of what is going on from Leona, but I thought I should meet you and hear the full situation of things from you."Su Yan nodded, leading him to settle down in a quiet place. "I do not know if Leona told you this, but we have confirmed the powerhouse helping the Purple Hearts Clan, the Holy Land Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect to be the Xiao family."Lin Feng's eyes darkened on hearing this, recalling Xiao Chen from back at the academy. Of course it has to be him. With Yun Feng involved it's impossible for Xiao Chen not to get in
