Chapter 1678 - 1660: Lingxiu Academy Admissions
"Very well, I congratulate Taoist Friend Lin on this good news." Hearing Lin Feng speak so confidently, Wuchen Ancestor also felt a surge of confidence in his own heart. However, he couldn’t quite grasp Lin Feng’s ace. After all, that’s the Immortal Realm; he couldn’t fathom how those cultivators from the Secular World could possibly resist.
"Alright, I’ll leave the suppression to you. As always, don’t allow anyone to travel to the Secular World, or I won’t be merciful. That’s it, I’m leaving." Lin Feng nodded and, with a simple remark, disappeared completely with a swift movement.
"What kind of being is Lin Feng, truly?"
As he watched Lin Feng vanish, Wuchen Ancestor murmured to himself, now unable to discern Lin Feng’s realm. Lin Feng came and went without a trace, and there wasn’t a single hint of a cultivator’s aura on him. Yet, Lin Feng’s strength was incredibly overwhelming, to the point where he had no doubt Lin Feng could instantly defeat him. It was just too strange!
Forget it, take it one step at a time.
In the end, Wuchen Ancestor could only shake his head helplessly before turning to leave and arrange corresponding matters. In such critical moments, he couldn’t allow anyone to go to the Secular World. If any space fluctuation alerted the Immortal Realm, they would also be implicated. Wuchen Ancestor was very aware and particularly clear about this.
In the blink of an eye, as Lin Feng returned to the New World, he was immediately stopped at the entrance by the various Family Heads.
"Mr. Lin, now that all the Small Worlds have been integrated, we had a discussion and decided that all cultivators should enter cultivation. We wonder what your opinion is. Moreover, we have an idea; we want Mr. Lin to rename this New World. Please, Mr. Lin, bestow a name upon it."
At this moment, Xia Yuntian took the initiative to step forward, bowing to Lin Feng as he spoke. These were matters they had discussed beforehand. When it came to major decisions, Lin Feng had to take charge, and an integrated New World needed a name from Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, what should we do next?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, there hasn’t been a light presence in the Human Immortal Realm for many days."
"This period has been developing so well, taking out so many powerful beings from the Human Immortal Realm. What do we do next?"
...
The many Family Heads also spoke up at this time. The struggle against the Immortal Realm visitors had lasted a full year, and now the immortals hadn’t appeared for a long time. They truly wanted to know what Lin Feng would arrange next.
"My integration of the Small Worlds was originally intended to accelerate everyone’s cultivation as much as possible. Therefore, over the coming period, all of you should have a single goal: to cultivate at the fastest speed possible, using whatever means you can to grow as swiftly as possible. This applies to everyone. As for the name of the newly integrated world, let’s call it the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm. Anyway, this world exists to resist the Immortal Realm."
Knowing what everyone was thinking, Lin Feng nodded in acknowledgement and immediately explained to them. As for the name of the New World, it was casually given by Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng didn’t intend for this New World to remain permanently integrated. Future plans would be discussed in due course.
After hearing Lin Feng’s arrangement, everyone nodded in agreement, bowed deeply to Lin Feng, and then departed, eager to improve their strength as quickly as possible. This was somewhat challenging for them but not impossible, given that the spiritual energy within the Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm was so abundant. Coupled with their respective cultivation techniques and secret techniques, short-term breakthroughs were still possible.
Once everyone left, Lin Feng smiled and headed towards the Lingxiu Academy. He had already arranged for the Lingxiu Academy people to gather at the academy, and Ding Wan’er, along with the other women, were also there. Having finished dealing with important matters, he needed to think about the path ahead for the children.
When Lin Feng suddenly appeared above Lingxiu Academy, he was stunned by the scene below. There were numerous people, half of them elderlies and the other half under ten years old, surrounding Ding Wan’er and Xia Lalan.
"Dean Ding, please accept our family’s child. He is a genius, and we want him to enter Lingxiu Academy for cultivation. If you don’t believe us, you can examine his qualifications and talents," an old man in a blue robe implored Ding Wan’er, eager to have her take the child.
Lin Feng was someone significant. If one’s grandson could cultivate within Lingxiu Academy, surely he would become a super super genius like the other children. The future achievements of this child could be unimaginable. Hence, upon hearing about Lingxiu Academy, people rushed over with their grandchildren, pleading with Ding Wan’er to accept them.
"Dean Ding, it’s the same on my end. My grandson has already reached the innate realm, and he’s only seven years old. I beg you to accept him."
"Dean Ding, my granddaughter is also a super genius. Please take a look."
...
At this time, other elders spoke one after another. They desperately wanted their grandchildren to join Lingxiu Academy. Enrolling their children in Lingxiu Academy would mean creating a future super powerhouse for their family. They understood this very well and firmly believed that the children, under Lin Feng’s guidance, would undoubtedly become strong beyond the Human Immortal Realm level, potentially even achieving Earth Immortal Realm status. The allure was simply too great, and no one could resist it.
"Everyone, I can’t make this decision. Everything must wait until my husband returns. I truly apologize, it’s not that I’m refusing them, but rather that I don’t have the authority." Ding Wan’er spoke very hesitantly at this time. She knew what these people were thinking, but she genuinely can’t make decisions. Lin Feng only recruited people in batches, and without communication with him, she dared not accept anyone arbitrarily.
"Dear elders, Lingxiu Academy is different from other places. We follow Mr. Lin. Until Mr. Lin returns and agrees to accept them, we won’t take anyone in." Xia Lalan supplemented. She had no solutions at the moment, having been besieged by these people for a day already, unsure of what to do.
"Does Mr. Lin have to say yes for it to be possible?"
"We sincerely want our children to come here for cultivation."
"I’m wondering, if the children aren’t qualified, will our family’s geniuses be okay?"
"Where is Mr. Lin, we’ll go find him."
...
Still very concerned about the future hopes of their families, many cultivators continued to press Ding Wan’er and Xia Lalan. They were too focused on this, willing to do anything as long as Lin Feng would accept these children...
"Everyone, I’m back."
Upon understanding the situation, Lin Feng smiled faintly, said a simple phrase, and appeared in the air above the crowd. He then landed on the ground amidst their gaze. As soon as the numerous elders saw Lin Feng, they suddenly surrounded him.
"Regarding Lingxiu Academy, I want to clarify that recruitment isn’t impossible. But you must all consider carefully. Learning within Lingxiu Academy carries the possibility of death, and the risk is high. If your child dies in Lingxiu Academy, I bear no responsibility."
Lin Feng understood what these people wanted to say, so before they could speak, he addressed them. He intended for this statement to deter them; though the danger did exist, he hadn’t let any student die yet. He merely wanted these people to reconsider, given that the children brought were all family geniuses, expecting them to have reservations.
Yet Lin Feng didn’t anticipate his words would have no desired effect. Instead, they made these elders even more eager.
"Mr. Lin, no problem. As long as my grandson can be admitted, even if he dies, our Zhao Family won’t say a word."
"It’s the same for the Sun Family. We just hope Mr. Lin can grant my grandson an opportunity. If he can’t endure it, our Yang Family won’t complain!"
"Mr. Lin, since we’ve come, we hope you’ll accept our children regardless of the outcome!"
...
Numerous elders expressed themselves one by one, truly unconcerned about the danger of life and death Lin Feng mentioned. They believed that if their children survived under Lin Feng’s guidance, they would become unimaginable entities; otherwise, staying with them would only reach the Human Immortal Realm. They clearly understood this difference, and cultivation inherently defied heaven. If one feared death, why bother cultivating!
Seeing everyone’s determined stance, Lin Feng was at a loss. Eventually, after reconsidering, Lin Feng spoke to the crowd: "In that case, I’ll be straightforward. Lingxiu Academy is now open for recruitment, but limited to three days only. The assessment must be conducted by myself personally. If you aren’t selected, please understand."
Lin Feng knew what everyone was thinking, so he got straight to the point. Three days was merely a figure; he just wanted to give them an opportunity. Whether they could become disciples of Lingxiu Academy depended entirely on him.
"No problem!"
"No problem!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s statement, numerous elders expressed their agreement, spontaneously organizing themselves into queues. Very orderly, they lined up for Lin Feng’s assessment. Some even used phones to contact other geniuses within the family, given the rarity of such an opportunity; as long as they passed Lin Feng’s gatekeeper challenge, nothing else mattered.
With the first child, seemingly six or seven years old, stepping before Lin Feng, the assessment commenced...
In no time, the sky had darkened. According to Lin Feng’s principle of preference for quality over quantity, only a dozen children were selected after a day, while the others were eliminated. Those selected were undeniably children with true potential and talent, and Lin Feng was delighted to have accepted them.
In the evening, these children were gathered at Ding Wan’er’s invitation, forming a separate class, starting training under Xia Jianping’s guidance...
