The King of the Gods
Chapter 58: The Commandment of Confinement
Spatial Star Finger!
Happiness surged in Zhao Fengs heart. At this moment, if there were others present, they would be shocked: Could this young man reach the seventh rank at such a young age?
Everyone knew that only Martial Masters could unleash their Inner Strength into the air. (Attacking through the air) This was the level most cultivators dreamed of.
But, Zhao Feng was not a Martial Master, his cultivation had reached the sixth rank not long ago. This was all because the Star Finger reached the fourth level.
At the fourth level, one could condense their Inner Strength and shoot it into the air. Clearly, this skill was much harder to train so others, even Elder Zhao who was guarding the martial arts library, had only reached the third level back then.
Elder Zhao suspected that this skill might be a half-step Sacred martial art. Even geniuses had to be at least at the seventh rank to train this skill to the fourth level. Therefore, it was unheard of for cultivators of the sixth rank to attack through the air.
It's destructive!
A green light flashed through the air and hit the window two meters away.
Holy hooch!
A shrill voice rang out as the window broke. Since the Star Finger had just reached the fourth level, the damage it caused was not high, only roughly half of the melee combat power. But even so, that finger could still kill a normal Martial Artist instantly.
Over the next two days, Zhao Feng consolidated his Star Finger. In his mind, he was still trying to gain insight into the One who had the feeling of Heaven.
Pu's! Pu's! Dispose…
Zhao Feng somehow managed to stab the finger in succession. The damage given by them was sixty to seventy percent of close combat attacks, but once the distance surpassed two meters, its strength would be significantly reduced.
If Zhao Feng killed, he could kill almost all cultivators below the seventh rank with just one finger. Zhao Feng was sure that he would not be so confused by fighting the Qiu family elder anymore.
Hu~
Zhao Feng walked out of the room and smelled the refreshing air.
"Sister Feng has been meditating secluded for a long time, so there must be some kind of breakthrough right?" Zhao Yufei said with a smile as he walked over.
“I have some insights after the Summit.” Zhao Feng replied.
The main reason he did not leave his room was because he was in recovery because he was badly injured that day. Hearing this, Zhao Yufei immediately became excited. Being neighbors, the two often met so a bit of debate was inevitable.
Zhao Feng was still suppressing his cultivation to the fifth rank, but he often released the aura of One with Heaven when arguing with Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei improved greatly and he had even learned a peak rank martial art.
Spiritual Wind Slices!
A purple light appeared on his jade-like fingers as he condensed his Inner Strength into his palm. Every slice he made with it could pierce through the stone.
“Spiritual Wind Slices? When did Zhao Yufei have such a skill?” Zhao Feng exclaimed.
The Spiritual Depth of Wind Slice was almost on par with his Star Finger. The advantage of the Spiritual Wind Slice was fast and sharp, whereas the Star Finger was striving hard for pure power.
“Haha, I have become one of the four great geniuses, so this is the reward that the high level gave me.” Zhao Yufei said happily.
Whahuh?
It seemed like some important things happened while he was recovering.
"Did Brother Feng not receive any gifts?" This time it was Zhao Yufei's turn to feel strange.
"No!" Zhao Feng shook his head.
Logically, he should have gotten a better reward than Zhao Yufei since his rank was even higher.
"You should ask one of the elders." Zhao Yufei.
While arguing with Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng came across another shocking news. The one who tied first with him at the peak, "Xin Wuheng", had disappeared into thin air.
“It has been ten days since the end of the Summit. Why did he disappear without a trace? ” Zhao Feng felt that this was not as simple as it seemed.
Can Xin Wuheng be killed…?
Zhao Feng shook his head. He was not close to Xin Wuheng or anything.
After sparring, the two split up.
“Since Zhao Yufei got the reward, I should also get it ..” Zhao Feng thought confidently.
After all, he had tied her up first. But now with Xun Wuheng gone, he was the first!
Soon, he arrived at the Martial Arts Library where he saw Elder Zhao.
“You came to me to get a gift, right?” Fatigue was on his face.
“Ya, that's right.” Zhao Feng did not hide his intentions.
The elder looked at him with admiration and concern: "You did better than I expected at the top ..."
“You flatter me! If I don't get help from Elder Zhao, then I won't have such an achievement today.” Zhao Feng humbly said.
"Not arrogant at all, you are indeed a formable genius... Just a few days ago, I asked the head of the family to allow you to enter the third floor of the Martial Arts Library."
The third floor of the Martial Arts Library! Zhao Feng's heart accelerated.
In the Zhao sect, the third floor was just a legend. It's never been opened before.
The second floor already contained a peak ranked martial art. What will the third floor hold?
The arrogance Zhao Linlong showed definitely had support for it. Eight or nine out of ten are connected to the third floor.
“Although there are no Holy martial arts on the third floor, there are still some partially Holy martial arts for geniuses to gain insights. Those whose cultivation was not high enough would not gain anything from entering, therefore, the third floor was closed. Only Zhao Linlong could enter, even though his cultivation was below the seventh rank. ” Elder Zhao explained.
Understanding was shown on Zhao Fengs face. Zhao Linlong had been the first in the family debate contest and as the adopted son of the sect head, he was able to enter the third floor.
“Thank you elder for giving me this opportunity.” Zhao Feng was full of gratitude.
"Unfortunately, the sect head completely rejected this." Elder Zhao sighed while shaking his head.
Been denied?
Cold and injustice crept into Zhao Fengs heart. Zhao Linlong was only the first in the Zhao sect, but he had become the first in the entire Sun Feather City.
Could it be because he was only a branch disciple, while Zhao Linlong was the head of the sect's stepson?
"Why does the sect head disagree?" Zhao Feng took a deep breath, he wanted to hear the reason for the sect leader.
"Have you met Qiu Mengyu after the summit?" Elder Zhao asked deeply.
"That's right." Zhao Feng replied, understanding.
The Qiu family and the Zhao family were enemies and the fact that he had accepted Qiu Mengyu's invitation easily aroused suspicion.
"Two bodies were found and upon examination, we found that they died of a skill similar to the Star Finger." Elder Zhao's eyes looked at him.
Star Finger?
Zhao Feng pretended to be surprised: "Does the sect think that I killed them?"
"I can't believe it, how could you kill those two with just a fifth rank?" The elder shook his head.
Indeed indeed.
Both of them had both reached the peak of the sixth rank and they were the older generation, so they had access to high-level martial arts.
If someone was logical and unreturned, they would know that the killer was not Zhao Feng.
Clearly, this is according to logic ...
Elder Zhao probably would not have dreamed that the assassin was right in front of him.
“Someone reported that you personally went to where Qiu Mengyu and Zhao Tianjian and colleagues were. died near the sect territory. Many people with high positions suspect you are cooperating with the Qiu family to kill both of them. ” His voice became serious.
First, it was true that Zhao Feng had met Qiu Mengyu. Secondly, Zhao Tianjian had enmity with Zhao Feng and he died right on the night Zhao Feng returned.
This is reason enough to raise suspicion. Overall, he was just a branch disciple. No matter if there was evidence or not, the sect leader would use this as an excuse not to let him on the third floor.
"Who's the reporter?" Zhao Feng's eyes twitched as he thought.
That night there were only Zhao Linlong, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Han etc with him. The one closest to the sect head was undoubtedly Zhao Linlong.
"High level has commanded that before the truth is revealed, you must not leave the grounds of the Zhao sect." The elder sighed helplessly.
What's up!?
Zhao Fengs eyes turned sharp: "Is this a confinement order?"
