Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 775: Are You Hurt?

"Master, Lin Feng has arrived. This is Leng Hao from the Leng Family, who I mentioned to you last time." Man Long walked up to Old Monster, hurriedly making introductions, and after finishing, he stood beside the Old Monster, no longer saying anything.

"Lin Feng, you’ve finally come, heh, take a seat." Upon hearing Man Long’s words, the Old Monster finally opened his eyes and immediately spotted Lin Feng, sizing him up a few times, his heart filling with even greater surprise. He knew he possessed a special method to clearly discern any cultivator’s cultivation level, but in front of him, he really couldn’t see through Lin Feng. However, he soon made some things clear to himself. If Lin Feng were truly that simple, how could he have possibly killed two S-grade experts?

With this realization, the Old Monster felt at ease. Although Lin Feng was so young, the impression he gave to the Old Monster was that of someone unfathomably deep. He smiled, asking Lin Feng to sit and speak, while also glancing at Leng Hao standing beside him. Just as his disciple said, Leng Hao had already reached AAA-grade. To hit AAA-grade at eighteen was indeed a miracle, but compared to Lin Feng, he still didn’t have the qualifications to sit down and join the conversation.

"Thank you, Senior." Lin Feng replied with thanks and calmly sat down at the stone table. He greatly admired the Old Monster; ever since he learned from the Leng Family who the Old Monster was, Lin Feng felt a special fondness for him in his heart. The Old Monster was truly an extraordinary figure, having guarded the Capital City for nearly a hundred years, maintaining the peace of the Cultivation World of Capital City, protecting the leaders from threats by other forces, and even scaring off various foreign powers on numerous occasions. If it weren’t for the Old Monster’s presence in the Capital City, who knows what kind of chaos might have brewed there in the past century.

For this reason, Lin Feng held deep respect for the Old Monster, and it was a respect that came sincerely from his heart.

As for Leng Hao, he wasn’t surprised at all that the Old Monster didn’t invite him to take a seat. Even Man Long hadn’t taken a seat, so who was he to do so? Therefore, he just stood behind Lin Feng, looking at the Old Monster with a sense of awe. Finally, he had the chance to see the legendary figure who had protected the Capital City for nearly a century. As a cultivator, to have the opportunity to see such a peerless expert was his greatest honor.

However, when Man Long saw this scene unfolding, his eyes suddenly lit up. Aside from his master, he had never seen anyone else sit at this stone table because no one was qualified to sit as equals with his master. Even some S-grade experts, upon seeing the master, would all stand with utter respect. But today... today his master had actually offered Lin Feng a seat. How... how could this be? Didn’t this mean that the master recognized Lin Feng’s strength? This was... truly unbelievable!

Man Long’s thoughts were not unfounded; the fact was exactly as he perceived. In front of the Old Monster, all cultivators felt utterly inferior and had no right to sit as equals with him. Even a S-grade Mid-stage pinnacle expert like Nangong He, when in front of the Old Monster, could only stand. Therefore, Man Long was astonished at the sight of the Old Monster offering Lin Feng a seat.

In Man Long’s eyes, although Lin Feng was formidable, he definitely didn’t have the right to sit at this table. What on earth was happening today? Why was his master suddenly so favorably disposed towards Lin Feng? What... what was going on here? Now Man Long’s eyes were filled with incredulity, his gaze fixed on Lin Feng, unable to comprehend why Lin Feng had earned such courtesy from the master.

I have long heard of the Senior’s renowned name; meeting you today, I wonder if there is anything you wish to see me for?" Lin Feng looked at the still smiling Old Monster across from him and asked calmly. This invitation to come had him puzzled; he still hadn’t understood why the Old Monster had summoned him.

"Nothing much, just wanted to see you. A lot has happened in the Cultivation World recently, two people died. One was Li Li and the other Liu Hong. If I’m not mistaken, they both met their end at your hand, right?" The Old Monster continued to smile as he looked at Lin Feng, his regard for Lin Feng rising even more. To remain so untroubled in his presence, Lin Feng was probably the only one. From this point of view, the Old Monster liked Lin Feng even more.

"Yes, I killed them. Actually, I didn’t want to, but they were after my life, so naturally I did not show mercy. Is there something wrong, Senior?" Lin Feng responded immediately after being asked by the Old Monster, though he was also puzzled inside. Why was the Old Monster inquiring about these incidents? Li Li must have been Uncle Li from the Li Family; was the Old Monster intending to seek revenge for the two dead men?

But then Lin Feng thought again, and it didn’t seem right. If the Old Monster was seeking retribution, he wouldn’t be sitting there smiling at him. Then... then what on earth was this all about? Why had the Old Monster brought him over here?

What! Liu Hong was killed by my brother-in-law!

Lin Feng spoke with ease, but upon hearing this, Leng Hao was inwardly startled. He knew what level of expert Liu Hong was, an S-grade Mid-stage expert who was also proficient in medicine. How... how could he have been slain by his brother-in-law? This meant... just how formidable could his brother-in-law be? It was no wonder he had gained such recognition from someone like the Old Monster, who had even granted him a seat for conversation!

The sudden disappearance of Liu Hong had been unclear to him, but now hearing that Lin Feng had killed Liu Hong, it was not a small shock to Leng Hao. He had known his brother-in-law was a supreme expert, but he never imagined he would be so strong. In the Cultivation World, there weren’t many who could kill Liu Hong, and that was definitely limited to a few people, including the Old Monster. This was... really inconceivable. What level of expert had his brother-in-law become, to be so formidable...

It really is like this!

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s acknowledgment, Man Long was equally astonished. Although he had speculated that Liu Hong’s death was related to Lin Feng, actually hearing it from Lin Feng made his heart indescribeably shocked. Lin Feng was simply too young, his youthfulness excessive. For someone as young as Lin Feng to have killed the renowned Living Bodhisattva, Liu Hong, who had been famous for decades, was an inconceivable strength, defying the heavens. Man Long asked himself in his heart and admitted that he was incapable of such a feat.

Thus, when Man Long looked at Lin Feng now, his eyes glittered wildly with sharpness. He really wanted to exchange blows with Lin Feng, to truly understand the extent of Lin Feng’s prowess...

"You’ve misunderstood. I have no thoughts about their deaths; I’m just curious about what level of a master you are now. I won’t hide from you that I have a Secret Technique that allows me to discern a cultivator’s level. But with you, I simply can’t see through it. Can you tell me?" Upon hearing Lin Feng speak, Old Monster quickly shook his head to indicate that Lin Feng should not misunderstand his intentions. He was merely trying to gauge Lin Feng’s ability and then asked his question, very curious about Lin Feng’s elusive strength.

"To be honest with you, elder, I’m also not sure at what level I stand because the path I walk is different from that of ordinary cultivators. I believe you’ve noticed as well," Lin Feng said upon hearing Old Monster’s words, immediately understanding that Old Monster truly bore no malice. With this realization, Lin Feng relaxed and candidly shared the truth with Old Monster: He really did not know how to classify his own level.

"Yes, I’ve noticed. I truly didn’t expect that there exists such an alternative method of cultivation within the Cultivation World. Now I’m really curious about the kind of person who could create such a cultivation method. Could you tell me who your mentor is?"

Old Monster nodded to Lin Feng’s words, acknowledging the truth in them. Normally, cultivator’s inner qi divisions are clear and their cultivation levels can be discerned at a glance. However, Lin Feng’s inner qi seemed to be a mass of Chaos to his eyes. If it wasn’t for an unconventional method of cultivation, such a situation would not have arisen. From this perspective, Lin Feng had indeed told no lies.

However, Old Monster was even more curious about who could have created such an extraordinary cultivation method that allowed Lin Feng, at such a young age, to possess the strength to kill a Middle Stage S-level expert. It was utterly astounding. So, who exactly was Lin Feng’s master? Lin Feng’s heaven-defying strength could not have been achieved without a famous teacher.

"Actually, I also don’t know who my master is; he has never mentioned it," Lin Feng answered Old Monster seriously. For an individual like Old Monster, who stood at the pinnacle among regular cultivators, Lin Feng did not wish to hide anything, especially since he truly did not know who his master was.

"Yes, I can understand that," Old Monster remarked, seeing Lin Feng’s sincere response. Indeed, true senior experts don’t reveal their names, just like his own experience. His master had also never disclosed his name, and after twenty years of cultivating with his master, he took over the responsibility of overseeing Capital City from his master’s hands. Almost a hundred years had flown by since then. Thus, when he heard Lin Feng speak, Old Monster felt it was very normal.

"By the way, elder, have you been injured? And was it very recently?" Lin Feng asked Old Monster with concern. In fact, he had noticed Old Monster was injured the moment he entered the room and wondered who could have hurt such an almost invincible existence like Old Monster. Now, unable to curb his curiosity any longer, he asked the question.

"What, master, you’ve been injured? How is that possible!" Man Long, standing to the side, heard Lin Feng mention his master’s injury and immediately turned around to check on Old Monster. In Man Long’s view, how could his master possibly be injured? There was simply no one in Huaxia capable of being his master’s adversary. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for his master to be hurt, unless... could it be his master was injured due to backlash while trying to break through his bottleneck? Otherwise, how could his master possibly be hurt?

Thinking this, Man Long promptly asked with concern. To him, if his master had been injured, it had to be related to a cultivation issue, since no one in the world could have injured his master with martial prowess.

Old Monster injured? How could that be possible?

Leng Hao was equally full of surprise, disbelieving Lin Feng’s words. Old Monster was an invincible being; how could he possibly be injured? It was simply unfathomable. Yet, Leng Hao also knew something else, that his brother-in-law had always meant what he said. If his brother-in-law said so, it meant Old Monster must be injured. How... how could this have happened? How could such a peerless expert like Old Monster be injured?
