Chapter 537

No problem, then let's go to the hall's exterior for the assessment. Coincidentally, I still have something to do afterward; if we finish the assessment early, I can go read the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes earlier.

Facing the former's contempt, Lin Feng merely gave a faint smile, then turned and walked slowly toward the outside of the hall.

Hmph, mere bluster!

Seeing the former's calm and composed expression, Wu Xin's face instantly stiffened.

Then he flicked his sleeve and immediately sneered, 'Old man, I actually want to see how you, a peak Battle Sect, can withstand ten moves from this Battle Venerable powerhouse of mine!'

Having said that, he likewise walked toward the outside of the door.

Outside the hall lay a spacious expanse of volcanic stone ground, its area extremely vast.

At a glance, the far end of the vista held some lush woodlands, circular in shape, encircling the hall.

Lin Feng stood outside the hall with a calm expression, yet the surging battle qi within his body began to circulate rapidly inside.

Although he felt utter contempt for Wu Xin in his words, that did not mean he would underestimate the enemy.

As for that Battle Venerable powerhouse, he still gave it sufficient attention.

And just as Lin Feng and Wu Xin walked out of the hall's door, Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er, leading a crowd of Blazing Flame Valley elders and disciples, filed out one after another.

At the same time, those Blazing Flame Valley disciples in the distance, upon seeing the commotion at the hall's entrance,

Like a crimson wave, they surged forward to encircle.

In a short time, the hall's entrance was filled with dense red silhouettes.

After all, the spectacle put on by Lin Feng and his companions made it obvious what was happening here, even without explicit explanation.

As for the surroundings that quickly became lively, Lin Feng paid them no heed.

His gaze was fixed solely on the white-haired, red-robed Wu Xin opposite him.

At this moment, Wu Xin had his hands clasped behind his back.

On his aged face appeared a confident smile.

After all, the strength gap between a Battle Venerable and a Battle Sect is as vast as heaven and earth.

Although Lin Feng, as a high-level alchemist, might have some trump cards up his sleeve,

but he likewise possessed high-level combat techniques of the Blazing Flame Valley.

Therefore, for this battle, he never even considered the possibility of losing.

At this moment, Tang Zhen suddenly spoke again: 'Little friend Lin Feng, have you truly decided to withstand ten moves under Elder Wu Xin in order to gain the chance to read the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes?'

Whoa!

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, some of the Blazing Flame Valley disciples on the open ground who did not understand the situation immediately erupted in an uproar.

Countless incredulous gazes all turned uniformly toward Lin Feng.

Although they had seen Lin Feng's alchemy skills that day and knew his alchemy was extraordinarily formidable,

but the idea of lasting ten moves against the Grand Elder seemed utterly reckless.

After all, their Grand Elder is a two-star Battle Venerable–level powerhouse.

Moreover, the Blazing Flame Valley possesses numerous high-level combat techniques.

And as the Grand Elder of the Blazing Flame Valley, he undoubtedly holds many of them.

Lin Feng challenging the Grand Elder with Battle Sect strength—isn't that just asking for suffering?

After listening to the former finish speaking, Lin Feng then looked toward Wu Tongdao and said, 'More talk is just wasting time; let's begin.'

'Kid, you'd better be careful; this old man disdains sneaking a sneak attack on a junior!'

Wu Xin, upon hearing that, lightly stepped forward a step.

An extraordinarily mighty crimson battle qi surged violently forth from within his body.

The crimson battle qi, like burning clouds, completely shrouded the half‑sky.

At this moment, Wu Xin's white hair fluttered, his red robe rustled loudly, and his aura was terrifyingly formidable.

Bang!

Then Wu Xin fiercely swung a punch, and a spatial disturbance shot at extreme speed toward where Lin Feng stood.

However, what shocked the Blazing Flame Valley disciples present was that terrifying spatial disturbance.

Yet, under the gaze of everyone, it directly swept up 'Lin Feng' and then turned into nothingness.

Afterimage?

Immediately afterward, several of the stronger disciples reacted, exclaiming in astonishment.

'Not bad speed, old man; let's see how you dodge this time!'

Seeing Lin Feng easily dodge his attack, Wu Xin narrowed his eyes and coldly snorted.

Having said that, flames suddenly began to coil around his palms.

And amidst the coiling flames, his palms gradually grew somewhat larger.

From afar, they looked like a pair of fans.

'Pure Yang Continuous Hand!'

With a sudden cold shout, the fiery red giant hand strangely elongated by half.

A twist of the wrist, and it came straight slapping toward Lin Feng.

'Thousand Gang Body, manifest!'

Sensing the lightning‑fast incoming attack, Lin Feng's eyes flashed sideways and he immediately shouted.

As his words fell, his body's surface suddenly burst forth with golden light.

Then Lin Feng clenched his right fist, and a blinding golden radiance suddenly appeared upon his knuckles.

'Body‑forging combat technique?!'

Seeing the sudden change in his physique, all the Blazing Flame Valley folk were startled.

This kind of Body-Tempering Combat Technique, though its power is formidable.

But it consumes resources to an extreme degree, and the process is exceedingly painful.

Generally speaking, very few people practice it.

Yet it was unexpected that Lin Feng, a delicate‑skinned alchemist, would actually cultivate this combat technique.

"Ten Thousand Spear Shattering Body Fist!"

As the shout fell, Lin Feng forcefully stamped the ground with his foot.

Accompanied by a torrent of volcanic stone debris, his figure burst forward.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, golden and crimson light curtains collided violently in the sky.

A thunderous roar like a bolt of lightning echoed for a long time in the surrounding heavens and earth, refusing to subside.

Meanwhile, the low‑altitude crimson‑gold light curtains remained locked in a stalemate.

Clusters of Battle Qi spilled from the collision point, blowing outward at extreme speed in all directions.

As for some lower‑level disciples of Fenyán Valley nearby, they could not endure this gale at all and were forced to retreat several hundred meters backward.

"That guy, after cultivating the Body-Tempering Combat Technique, has a physique so robust that he could even hold his own against a Grand Elder of Two‑Star Dou Zun level while the Grand Elder performed Pure Yang Soft Hand."

Looking at the two distant light curtains, Tang Huo'er was stunned, his voice filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that Pure Yang Soft Hand is one of the high‑level combat techniques of Fenyán Valley.

When refined to a masterful stage, it can arbitrarily extend one's arms, granting a remarkable effect in combat against opponents.

"Lin Feng must have done more than just cultivate the Body-Tempering Combat Technique; he surely also employed other heavenly materials and earthly treasures to temper his body, for the technique alone could not have brought him to this level."

As for Tang Zhen standing nearby, after watching for a while, he immediately spoke.

"Bang!"

At that moment, a sudden explosion rang out from the sky.

Immediately thereafter, Lin Feng's body was hurled backward.

After landing on the ground, he slid backward dozens of meters in succession before finally managing to steady himself.

"It seems my physique, though strong, still falls short when facing a Dou Zun‑level powerhouse."

Looking at Wu Xin, who had retreated a few steps away without a trace of embarrassment, Lin Feng thought to himself.
