CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 11: DAO HEART SHATTERED

Let the experiences of the strong echo in the deserted cave.

Clearly, it was hard enough to encounter a group of special little fairies born for training the spear technique. Yet when he went to solve the challenge, using the opportunity to improve his spear skills, Ling Feng assigned these tasks to the female streamers.

Had the female streamers not had enough combat power, he would spend money to upgrade their equipment, standing behind and giving random instructions. After finally clearing the stage, he had the chance for face-to-face communication with the Master of Gun Technique, Marquis Zhuge, but Ling Feng declined and took the streamers to another game plane, leaving the game-dropped Marquis Zhuge dumbfounded.

"Does he think that, with his current strength, he can act recklessly and ignore everyone? I really hope the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance would forcefully send him to the front line to let him experience how strong the alien race really is. Best if they tear him to pieces!"

Yan Fei was hopping mad with rage.

Because he needed to monitor Ling Feng’s activities in real-time to prevent any life-threatening situations, Yan Fei witnessed Ling Feng’s reckless actions, causing immense distress for him.

Eventually, when Ling Feng came out of the game plane, he felt great, supported by a group of streamers, and was so indulgent in spending money that he was in high spirits, enjoying a hearty meal at home.

Meanwhile, Yan Fei looked at the lush resource supplements just delivered without any appetite. He was in turmoil, feeling tortured.

He wanted to confront Ling Feng.

But since the Dharma Hall needed to be set up to wait for Ling Feng to enter for cultivation, all he could do was wait patiently in the hotel.

What made him despair was knowing that setting it up was futile because Ling Feng would not come in.

And not setting it up was impossible either.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t pass the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance’s inspection.

He knew that the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance would not let a Martial Dao student with a demon talent be wasted, and going by Ling Feng’s attitude toward cultivation, it would be a squander of talent.

So if Ling Feng ended up buried, Yan Fei was to bear the primary responsibility.

In other words, watching Ling Feng indulge in games every day, Yan Fei had to endure the torture now and leave no explanation for the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance in the future.

So, Yan Fei started reporting the situation to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, hoping they would assign new personnel to guide Ling Feng.

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had a well-developed intelligent system and, in response to Yan Fei’s situation, first searched South City for suitable replacements for him.

The system recommended Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan immediately received an alert and was asked by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance about his physical condition and whether he could replace Yan Fei to devote himself fully to guiding Ling Feng in cultivation and teaching him the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique to enhance his physical fitness.

Wang Dashan replied: "Badly injured, time running out, incapable."

Yan Fei immediately received feedback from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance: "Temporarily unable to find a suitable replacement for teaching Ling Feng, we provide several teaching guidance points here."

1. Understand the specific reasons for Ling Feng’s non-cooperation, observe and communicate more, seek feedback from multiple sources.

2. Adjust the teaching plan, enhancing the interest in cultivation and learning, personalize teaching with clear goals and planning.

3. Establish a positive teacher-student relationship, express care and support, provide positive incentives and praise, and collaboratively craft study and cultivation tasks with Ling Feng.

..."

"Damn it, this is too outrageous! I’m a master of Body Tempering Technique, and it’s not your place to instruct me on how to teach Ling Feng?"

"I’m done with this!"

Upon seeing those contents, Yan Fei was provoked.

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had not found him a replacement and even guided him on leading Ling Feng in cultivation, indirectly reminding him that the teaching guidance is a long-term responsibility and not to be impatient...

It turned out that Ling Feng’s refusal to cooperate in cultivation was his fault.

Yan Fei had never suffered such grievances before.

Enraged, he smashed everything in the hotel room to pieces.

...

The next day, the second phase assessment took place in the Star Realm’s intermediate assessment plane.

Only those who scored over a hundred points in the first phase could participate in the second phase assessment.

This time, people would encounter Catfish Demons with combat power over 15.0 in the intermediate assessment plane.

Yesterday’s assessment was a knockout competition.

The elimination rate for Outer Ring City candidates was as high as sixty percent; Zhang Qingqing didn’t advance, while Lai Zhijun barely passed with a one-point margin.

In the past, he trained diligently every day, tirelessly, only to prove himself and surpass Ling Feng one day.

Until yesterday’s assessment ended, seeing Ling Feng’s leading score of 1674, his heart was utterly shattered.

Though passing the assessment, he found no joy. During the waiting stage for the assessment, he leaned on his long spear in the corner, his eyes vacant, as if lost in thought.

"Ling Feng."

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene.

Ling Feng’s consciousness entered the Star Realm, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone’s attention.

The crowd stirred, people couldn’t help but move toward Ling Feng.

One of the little fangirls couldn’t help but ask, "Ling Feng, you’re an Outer Ring City Martial Dao student, yet you surpassed all Inner Ring City Martial Dao students, leading the way overwhelmingly in yesterday’s assessment. I want to interview you. Do you have any cultivation secrets?"

"Uh, I don’t actually cultivate much. I think playing games and square dancing is way more relaxing than cultivating," Ling Feng hesitated and replied earnestly.

"Haha, you’re really funny. From what we know, your combat power has exceeded 40.0. As a rare Dharma Martial Artist among senior year Martial Dao students, your skills must be closely linked to your talent and hard work. We look forward to you performing another miracle in the second phase assessment," the little fangirl said seriously.

"Boo hoo hoo!"

Everyone thought Ling Feng was joking, but Lai Zhijun, in the corner, couldn’t help but cry with his face covered. Only he knew Ling Feng wasn’t lying; this guy really indulged in games every day, dancing with grannies in the square.

Because of this, he held hope, always believing that hard work could make up for his lack and that one day he could surpass Ling Feng, becoming the shining star of the West Warehouse District.

Now compared to Ling Feng, he’s nothing.

This morning, as he left the community, he had already heard some gossip, saying that he howled on the rooftop every day, disturbing others’ sleep, yet couldn’t even keep up with a square-dancing guy, which was truly pathetic.

People who were dispirited included not only Lai Zhijun but also Teng Qingshan and Kang Ning.

Of course, some, spurred by Ling Feng’s actions, sparked stronger fighting spirit and confidence, like Chen Duling, Ye Chen, and some geniuses from Li Ren High School.

They had abundant cultivation resources.

After yesterday’s assessment, their families immediately hired a psychological therapist. Under the nurturing of motivational talk, not only did Ye Chen regain his fighting spirit, but with two bottles of nutrient liquid and one bottle of potion last night, his combat power finally surpassed 40.0, reaching 41.3.

The strong combat power brought him confidence and assurance.

In the second phase assessment, he was determined to surpass Ling Feng and make a name for himself.

Soon, everyone entered the second phase intermediate assessment plane.

Before the assessment, everyone had already gained an understanding of everything here. The Catfish Demons they encountered had combat power above 15.0, and the environment was more harsh.

In the underground river, one careless moment, and they could be swept away by the raging currents and sent into the Catfish Demon King’s den.

Moreover, this time’s assessment criteria were not about who killed more Catfish Demons, but who could breakthrough in such an environment first.

The shorter the time one used, the higher the points received.

This perfectly suited the execution of the Twin Saber Dragon Roar technique, which is born to break through encirclements, so Ye Chen was full of confidence.

"Caw!"

The roaring cries of Catfish Demons came.

As soon as everyone appeared, they found Catfish Demons everywhere.

Despairing and unmotivated, Lai Zhijun was quickly torn to pieces by the Catfish Demons, disappearing from the intermediate assessment plane.
