Chapter 2415: Saint’s Arrival
Edited by RED
Lin Feng had convinced the golden ape, a high-level bestial Saint, to help him. He didn’t feel he was in danger. Since he could solve the issue easily, he continued watching the battles.
After that, the Celestial Martial Dynasty sent forth a fighter. Lin Feng was startled, he knew that fighter.
Back then, during the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List, there was a giant: Shi Yun Feng! He was now a member of the Celestial Martial Dynasty.
Shi Yun Feng was a Saint Emperor now. He was very strong, having reached the very top of the Sheng Di Layer. If the Holy City hadn’t changed so much in the previous years, a Saint Emperor would have been considered a terrifying cultivator. The Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List hadn’t taken place too long ago, and Shi Yun Feng had already become really strong.
Back then, Lin Feng remembered everybody used to say that those who did well at the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List were going to become great cultivators… and it was true. All those people were very talented and continued rising.
“Shi Yun Feng, back then, during the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List, you weren’t as strong as me, and now you will still be weaker than me,” a voice proclaimed. A Buddhist monk walked forwards. It was Dou Zhan Seng, now a strong cultivator of the Canaan Buddhist Clan. He was also a Saint Emperor at the top of the Sheng Di Layer. Back in the days, at the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List, he had ranked better than Shi Yun Feng.
“Lin Feng, it’s a pity that you’re not fighting today, I wonder how strong you are, and Chu Chun Qiu…” said Dou Zhan Seng, looking at the members of Tiantai. Those people were now so strong.
“Watching an old friend fight is a great opportunity, too,” Lin Feng smiled.
At that moment, someone shouted, “Lin Feng, old buddy! You came back, and you didn’t tell me!”
A strong cultivator arrived as a strong wind started blowing. He was topless. Lin Feng grinned, “Tantai, couldn’t you put on some clothes?”
“Hehe, I like being topless!” said Tantai. He looked straightforward and good-natured as usual. He landed on the battle stage. “Now that Lin Feng is not participating, I’ll finish first!”
“We’ll see if you’re strong enough!” said Dou Zhan Seng.
“Ancestor, how strong is the cultivator of Champion University?” Lin Feng asked Ancestor Shi Tian.
“Those guys are extraordinarily talented. They’re as strong as me. Some of them are even stronger than me. Champion University has some incredible geniuses; you killed Ji Chang, and now nobody can compete with those people,” Ancestor Shi Tian sighed. Some incredible people came from Champion University; some of them had died or joined the Celestial Martial Dynasty when the Holy City had become chaotic.
“Alright,” said Lin Feng nodding, “I owe Champion University, but some things must be changed in Champion University, too. Ancestor Zhu Tian, you’re very strong, why don’t you fight personally for the university?”
Ancestor Zhu Tian’s face stiffened, and he blushed. He hadn’t thought Lin Feng would come back. Since Lin Feng had come back, he had remained silent, saying absolutely nothing. But Lin Feng had heard him before arriving…
Some people were incredibly important in Lin Feng’s life: his wives, his teachers, his fellow disciples. In the past, Ancestor Zhu Tian was relatively respectful, but now, he had humiliated Lin Feng’s teachers, and was very impolite. Lin Feng couldn’t accept that. He didn’t want to do anything against Champion University, he owed them, but he had to do something about Ancestor Zhu Tian.
“Lin Feng, you’re a student of Champion University, why don’t you fight for it?” said Ancestor Zhu Tian. He felt embarrassed, but he was an elder. Lin Feng wasn’t being polite to him.
“Me?” Lin Feng smiled. Ancestor Zhu Tian looked at Lin Feng and suddenly, he had the impression everything around him had become darkness and death.
“You said me?” said a voice in his head.
Ancestor Zhu Tian shouted quickly, “No, let me off!”
Everything became normal again. Lin Feng was just looking at him and smiling indifferently. Ancestor Zhu Tian was covered with cold sweat, his face as white as a sheet of paper. He looked like he had almost died. Everybody was staring at him.
“What’s wrong, Ancestor?” asked Lin Feng. However, he sounded a bit cold.
Ancestor Zhu Tian lowered his head, he didn’t dare look at Lin Feng. How could Lin Feng be so strong?
A Saint. Lin Feng had to be a Saint. Ancestor Zhu Tian’s heart was pounding violently. A moment before, the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty had talked to him as equals, he had hoped that he was talking that way because he was a disciple of the Fortune Shrine.
But now his hopes were ruined. Lin Feng was a Saint. He was as strong as the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty. How could he go onto the battle stage?
“Ancestor, you shouldn’t bully people who are weaker than you,” said Lin Feng indifferently. He didn’t look at him anymore. The other Ancestors also noticed it, but they all remained silent. Lin Feng was back. Saints talked to him as equals, and Ancestor Zhu Tian had infuriated him. The other Ancestors decided to let nature take its course. After all, Lin Feng and Champion University’s relations were deep. They didn’t want that to change. They didn’t want Lin Feng to hold a grudge against Champion University, either.

The battles started. At that level, things were completely different. There was no group battle, only one on ones. It would have been too destructive otherwise.
“Shi Yun Feng understands stone Dao. His defense and attacks are terrifying. When he becomes a Saint, it will probably become earth original strength…” murmured Lin Feng, watching Shi Yun Feng fight. When becoming a Saint, a cultivator’s strengths all had to turn into original strength. Stone Dao became earth original strength. And to understand earth original strength, a cultivator had to understand several sorts of Dao intent of the same type, such as stone, mud, heavy, sand etc.
Dou Zhan Seng was also very strong. He was a Buddhist monk, and his attacks were terrifying. He was like Kong Ming, his defense and attacks were terrifying, too. He’s stronger than Shi Yun Feng, thought Lin Feng.
He could see everything. Finally, it was Tantai’s turn. Tantai’s tribe controlled one type of strength: explosion strength. Their strength became more and more explosive with time. It was a special kind of strength. Tantai also understood soundwave Dao now, and he had an advanced understanding of it.
Time passed, and the battles continued. The sun gradually set. The evening sun illuminated the battle stage, the atmosphere was different.
Tantai won against Shi Yun Feng, but he lost against Dou Zhan Seng. Dou Zhan Seng really reminded Lin Feng of Kong Ming.
Finally, the battles ended: Dou Zhan Seng finished first, Tantai finished second, Shi Yun Feng finished third.
“Brilliant,” said the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty standing up and applauding. He said, “Alright, the battles are over. The top three cultivators can join the Celestial Martial Dynasty and become my disciples if they wish.”
When the Saint said that, many people were astonished. For the different leagues, most of the time there were members of the Celestial Martial Dynasty, the Canaan Dynasty, and Tiantai in the top three. Those people weren’t really going to leave their groups, especially since Lin Feng had come, so Tiantai was now at the same level as the Celestial Martial Dynasty.
“Nobody is willing to become my disciple?” said the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty looking at Lang Yan and Tantai. “You two, you better become my disciples.”
“Eh?” The crowd was astonished, the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty was provoking Tiantai even though Lin Feng was there.
Lin Feng didn’t find it strange, he found it very normal.
“Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty, you think you’re good enough to be my teacher?” said Tantai icily. The Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty was humiliating Tiantai.
“Good enough?” the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty smiled. “You’re ignorant like a frog in a well. Don’t you know that Saints are also divided into different levels: Half-Saints, low-level Saints, high-level Saints, peerless Saints. Before we came, there wasn’t a single Saint in the Holy City. Becoming a Saint is extremely difficult. And me, I’m a low-level Saint, and you’re saying I’m not good enough to become your teacher?”
The crowd was astonished, he was a low-level Saint which meant he was a level two Saint!
“I’ll give you an opportunity now. If you refuse, you’ll fall with Tiantai if anything happens,” said the Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty indifferently. Everybody’s heart started pounding. Was Tiantai going to be destroyed?
“Nonsense,” said Lang Yan coldly.
“Nonsense?” The Saint of the Celestial Martial Dynasty smiled icily. Some Saint’s strength filled the air, and the atmosphere became oppressive. Everybody had the impression they were suffocating. Then, they saw a group of people in the sky. They were flying so high, they looked like gods.
“Saints, they’re all Saints!” The crowd was trembling in fear!
