"I am Shen Xiaohong, may I ask your esteemed name, brother?"

Shen Xiaohong did not possess the arrogance of ordinary people in the God Realm. He treated Lin Feng with considerable politeness, even respect. After all, he had broken through to the Divine Tribulation Realm at a young age, making him a remarkable figure in the entire God Realm.

Moreover, Shen Xiaohong was an orphan taken in by the Order Keepers. He always had a clear understanding of his identity and never used his status to bully others, nor did he look down on other martial artists because of his strong cultivation.

"Young Master, you may call me Lin Feng. I am not originally from the Xuan Yan Dynasty, but Her Highness the Eldest Princess is a very good friend of mine. Hearing that my friend has a request, I will certainly do my best to help."

Lin Feng drew the Primordial Immortal Sword and spoke the truth.

Shen Xiaohong nodded secretly.

This person is sincere and honest; he did not lie.

The Xuan Yan Dynasty was under his surveillance everywhere, so news of Lin Feng's arrival had naturally reached his ears long ago. However, he deliberately didn't mention it, wanting to see how Lin Feng would explain his relationship with the Xuan Yan Dynasty.

Looking back now, it seems quite honest, which is good.

These days, his interactions with the people of the Xuan Yan Dynasty had actually made Shen Xiaohong somewhat dissatisfied. The court officials were all scheming and opportunistic, and having been bullied by others since childhood, he was naturally disgusted by it. It was rare to meet someone who was relatively sincere and without guile or scheming, which Shen Xiaohong found quite rare.

"Why is this kid telling the truth?"

Mo Yuandao and the others sighed one after another, "It's over. Now that Young Master Shen Xiaohong knows that Lin Feng is the helper we found, he will definitely be displeased."

"Palace Master Mo, you are mistaken."

Xia Shiying sat beside him and said indifferently, "Young Master Shen Xiaohong is the most upright and honest person. If you lie now, it will only arouse his dissatisfaction."

"What my younger sister says is right; I think so too."

A fleeting figure suddenly appeared before the assembled court officials. Mo Yuandao and the others were startled and were about to kneel and pay their respects when Emperor Xuan Yan waved his hand and frowned, saying, "No need."

Emperor Xuan Yan was dressed in a golden dragon robe, exuding an extraordinary aura and an imposing presence. His face was exceptionally handsome, and his posture was as straight as a sharp sword. He did not resemble an emperor who had long resided in the imperial court, but rather a chivalrous knight-errant roaming the world. Every gesture he made was full of vigor and spirit.

According to the system introduction, Emperor Xuan Yan was the best among the many sons of the late emperor. He had only been on the throne for two years when he launched a large-scale purge of the court. His iron-fisted methods drew criticism from many learned people in the common people. However, even those who were dissatisfied with him had to admit that after Emperor Xuan Yan came to power, the Xuan Yan Dynasty's position in the Star Boundary was more stable than before.

"I just came to see what my little sister's friend is capable of, I have no other intentions, so there's no need to go to such lengths."

At this moment, many military generals around the training ground began to speculate about the upcoming contest.

"Lin Feng possesses a profound aura and is indeed a genius, but compared to Young Master Shen Xiaohong, he might still be a little lacking..."

"The reason why Young Master Shenxiao Hong has not yet broken through is because of the ruins that will appear in the world in a few months. Therefore, his cultivation is more powerful than we can see. Lin Feng's chances of winning are not high."

"What are you talking about chances of winning? This challenge is just asking Lin Feng to withstand three moves from the Divine Young Master, right? I think he has a very good chance!"

"That's right, you old fogies, stop spouting such unlucky words! You're offending His Majesty's ears!"

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Shen Xiaohong frowned and said to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, don't pay attention to other people's nonsense. This is a pure battle between the two of us. I hope you will set aside any self-interest in this battle and fight me fair and square."

"Furthermore, I would like to request that, Brother Lin, after you have taken three of my moves, our battle should continue until a victor is determined."

Shen Xiaohong was not one of those short-sighted military generals. He could tell at a glance that Lin Feng had a solid foundation and profound cultivation, and was definitely not someone to be underestimated.

"Go for it, young master!"

Feng Yushang stood by with a smile, cheering Lin Feng on.

Clang!

As the first sword cry resounded, the two figures vanished from their original positions with terrifying speed, leaving behind afterimages in mid-air.

"So fast!"

"I can't see anything at all!"

"clang!"

Before anyone could react, the chilling blade energy and sharp sword intent suddenly collided in mid-air, producing a metallic clang.

"It's sword intent!"

Shen Xiaohong was shocked.

"That sword...could it be one of the Five Immortal Swords...?"

He looked around but didn't continue.

Unexpectedly, I've met like-minded people here!

Shen Xiaohong's eyes burned with fervor, brimming with fighting spirit!

"Flying Goose Saber Technique!"

"Canhong!"

Zzzzz!

"Sword formation, activate!"

Since obtaining Feng Sha's Unending Divine Technique, Lin Feng's speed of recovering spiritual power has increased dramatically, almost to the point of being inexhaustible. As a result, he can now use the Primordial Sword Formation, which consumes a great deal of spiritual power, with ease, without the strain it used to take.

Swords flashed and shadows danced, crisscrossing the battlefield!

"Such pure spiritual energy! My ninth-level Divine Tribulation Realm spiritual energy has no effect on suppressing you whatsoever!"

Shen Xiaohong laughed heartily, "Alright, continue, the second move!"

"Flying Goose Saber Technique!"

"Ling Hong!"

A large golden bird composed of sword energy descended from the sky, tearing the surrounding sword energy and buildings to shreds, turning them into ashes.

But this fierce and imposing bird was utterly destroyed by the violent sword energy when it fell into Lin Feng's Primordial Sword Formation! Not even a trace was left!

Lin Feng activated the Unending Divine Technique, frantically devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.

"Lin Feng's cultivation technique consumes an extreme amount of spiritual energy, did you notice? He also has a support-type cultivation technique, which should be used to replenish spiritual energy. He has actually absorbed all the spiritual energy in the world!"

Mo Yuandao analyzed.

"Such a terrifying absorption speed! I wonder if Lin Feng's body can withstand it!"

“With exceptional talent and a meridian width far exceeding that of ordinary people, it’s natural that you can do it.” Emperor Xuan Yan nodded and said to Xia Shiying, “Little sister, where did you make your friends? Why haven’t I heard you mention them before?”

Xia Shiying snorted coldly.

"It's nothing but a tragic fate."

"A tragic fate?"

Xuan Yanhuang became interested, but Xia Shiying refused to say anything more, so he had no choice but to ask no further questions.

All he needs to know is that, so far, Lin Feng is beneficial to the Xuan Yan Dynasty.

As for knowing more... it might not be a good thing.

In the center of the training ground, Shen Xiaohong took a deep breath and raised the golden Flying Goose Blade in his hand once more.

"Flying Goose Saber Technique!"

"A stunning sight!"

Zzzzz!

There were no overly fancy sword techniques, only sword energy pushed to its limit by him!

There was a faint sense of sword intent about it!

Lin Feng was unafraid and originally intended to condense the Primordial Sword Formation again, but he suddenly thought of an interesting technique and wanted to take this opportunity to test its power.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he actually put away the Primordial Immortal Sword.
