CHAPTER 994: CHAPTER 995: WELCOME GIFT! (FIRST UPDATE)

The shouts and cheers echoed like a tidal wave throughout the entire Hundred Battle Arena.

The name of Ling Feng would surely resonate across the whole Tianmang Fortress and throughout the Southern Border!

Lee Qing and Wang Meng floated down to the arena stage, along with the Think Tank, Sun Boce, and Su Dongling, known as the Empire’s First Poison Master, who also descended from the VIP seats towards Ling Feng, who was still standing on the stage.

The whole venue fell silent. Clearly, even these King-level Experts were deeply shocked by Ling Feng’s brilliance.

"Greetings to the Think Tank! Greetings to General Wang and General Lee!"

All the soldiers bowed low. Although they were all elite talents of the Tianmang Fortress, and first-rate geniuses, necessary etiquette still could not be avoided in front of these old generals.

Only Ling Feng continued to stand proudly, just nodding slightly towards Sun Boce and the others.

In terms of status, he was also a general, and there was no need for him to show such formal respect when meeting them.

Lee Qing and Wang Meng took a deep breath. They knew Ling Feng was one of King Jing’s men, and even if they highly praised Ling Feng, they held back their words.

Before the Grand Commander fully expressed his opinion, they naturally dared not speak carelessly.

If they chose the wrong side or made the wrong impression, they would end up caught in a difficult situation.

Sun Boce cupped his hands in salute towards Ling Feng, smiling faintly, "General Ling, truly extraordinary! According to the rules of the fortress, the Grand Commander will meet you personally to award you the prize for this challenge competition."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. For this Hundred Consecutive Kills Challenge, he had pretty much secured numerous good items with just a Supreme Black Diamond Card. As for what Yuan Tiangang would give him as a reward, he didn’t really mind.

However, he was curious to know what kind of expression Yuan Tiangang would have upon learning that he had earned the title of "King of Hundred Battles."

"Then allow me to thank the Grand Commander in advance."

Ling Feng took a deep breath, the battle over, a wave of fatigue swept over him, leaving him with almost no strength left.

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Feng’s body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.

However, Su Dongling swiftly moved forward and supported Ling Feng, laughing heartily, "Kid, you’re indeed something?"

Ling Feng looked at Su Dongling, slightly stunned. He seemed to have never met this person before, yet the way he looked at him showed a sense of familiarity.

"Senior, you are?"

Su Dongling stroked his long beard and laughed richly, "Why, I personally passed ’Ten Thousand Poison Scripture’ to you, and now you don’t recognize me?"

"’Ten Thousand Poison Scripture’?"

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, suddenly recalling, although he had never met this senior, Su Qingxuan had once handed over ’Ten Thousand Poison Scripture’ to him.

"You are Master Su’s father, the Empire’s First Poison Master, Master Su?" Ling Feng blurted out.

"Haha, at least you have some conscience!" Su Dongling nodded, laughing heartily, "Not to waste my lifetime’s effort imparted to you."

Wang Meng and Lee Qing exchanged glances, not expecting this connection between Su Dongling and Ling Feng.

No wonder, no wonder Su Dongling held Ling Feng in such high regard.

"This junior has not thanked you in person yet. ’Ten Thousand Poison Scripture’ is unfathomably profound, and this junior has benefited greatly!" Ling Feng hurriedly bowed deeply to Su Dongling.

"No need for thanks. If it weren’t for Yan Cangtian taking you as his apprentice first, I wouldn’t have let such a good disciple pass by!"

Su Dongling smiled, his gaze somewhat ambiguous as he looked at Ling Feng, jokingly saying, "But now, it’s almost the same."

In his eyes, Ling Feng was already a half son-in-law, not yet married in.

Ling Feng was slightly stunned but laughed, saying, "Senior overestimates me."

"For your attitude, let me present you a face gift!"

Su Dongling laughed, casually taking out the Refining Sky Divine Stone and handing it to Ling Feng, "This is a strange stone from beyond the heavens, the Refining Sky Divine Stone, and now it’s yours."

Seeing Su Dongling taking out the Refining Sky Divine Stone, Wang Meng’s corner of the mouth twitched fiercely.

Damn you, Su Dongling, you’ve been planning to give this to Ling Feng all along, clearly setting me up!

"Refining Sky Divine Stone?"

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched. As an Alchemist, Ling Feng naturally had heard some rumors about the Refining Sky Divine Stone.

So-called strange stones from beyond the heavens were merely star fragments that had fallen from the sky, containing energies and rules not belonging to this world. If these energies could be refined into Elixirs, it would be a great fortune.

Or using them for forging had the potential to create an unparalleled Divine Weapon.

"Senior, this is too precious; I can’t accept it." Ling Feng hurriedly waved it off.

"Since you call me senior, then accept it." Su Dongling casually placed the Refining Sky Divine Stone in Ling Feng’s hands, making Wang Meng’s heart bleed.

He’d gone through countless hardships to obtain the Refining Sky Divine Stone, and now it wasn’t even warm in his hands before it had become another’s treasure.

"Damn it!"

Wang Meng’s eyes turned cold, his gaze instantly locking onto his closed-door disciple, Jian Wuchen. It was all this brat’s fault, so useless that he couldn’t even withstand a single move from Ling Feng!

In the crowd, Jian Wuchen was earnestly feeling happy for Ling Feng, discussing with a few companions the experience of fighting him, when suddenly, a chill ran down his spine, and he shivered uncontrollably.

He had no idea that he had already been secretly cursed by his Master, simply a disaster without cause!

Since Ling Feng couldn’t refuse, he accepted the Refining Sky Divine Stone, silently remembering Su Dongling’s favor.

In the crowd, a mysterious girl in green kept her beautiful eyes locked on Ling Feng, then giggled, "Ling Feng, truly an interesting guy!"

The next moment, the girl squeezed out of the crowd and disappeared in an instant.

Due to fatigue, Ling Feng didn’t stay any longer and soon left with Jiang Xiaofan and the others, returning to his camp.

Soon after, he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

...

Inside the Commander Tent.

Yuan Tiangang was with the various army generals, setting up tactical strategies and had momentarily forgotten about Ling Feng’s challenge match.

After all, in his view, although Ling Feng had some talent, winning maybe ten or so matches at best seemed quite good.

So, he hadn’t taken it to heart.

However, the news brought back by Sun Boce and the others shocked him beyond belief.

"You’re saying that Ling Feng on the Hundred Battle Arena, defeated his opponents in single moves, winning ninety-nine consecutive matches, and in a weakened state, also defeated Linghu Yudao?"

Yuan Tiangang could hardly believe his ears as he knew very well the strength of Linghu Yudao. In some aspects, Linghu Yudao was effectively his half-disciple, having learned some of the Martial Techniques from the Martial Arts Pavilion of Tianmang Fortress.

Yet such a formidable Linghu Yudao was defeated by Ling Feng, who had already fought ninety-nine consecutive battles!

Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath; even he, who usually remained calm in the face of anything, was thoroughly stunned at this moment.
