The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 313: Teammate and Rivals!

"Bufan!"

After praising Ling Feng, Gu Tengfeng turned his attention to Li Bufan, who was standing coldly to the side. He said calmly, "Bufan, as a newcomer, your individual abilities are indeed very strong. There is no doubt about that."

The other team members nodded in agreement.

From the fact that Li Bufan was able to hold his own against four opponents for such a long time, it was clear that his personal abilities were not inferior to Ling Feng's.

Of course, Ling Feng had not yet unleashed his ultimate trump card, the Lingtian Sword Force, which he had mastered in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.

If Ling Feng were to fully utilize his sword force and sword will, defeating Yang Zhan and the others would have been effortless.

Naturally, a trump card was called such because of its element of surprise.

Such a skill should be reserved for the most powerful opponent, to turn the tide in one decisive move.

"However, you rely too much on your individual abilities. Starting tomorrow, I have decided to give you some team coordination training. Are you willing to accept this?" Gu Tengfeng asked calmly.

Li Bufan took a deep breath. Although he admired personal heroism, he was no fool.

On the sword fighting platform, Yang Zhan's words and Ling Feng's coordination with the team made him realize that to shine on the platform and match Ling Feng's brilliance, learning to cooperate was the first step.

"I accept. Bring it on!"

Li Bufan never shied away from any challenge. Coordination training? How hard can it be?

"Mhmm, very good. I believe with your talent, you will excel in the coordination training."

Gu Tengfeng smiled mysteriously. "Alright, it's getting late. Everyone can go back and rest. We will regroup here tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

The team members dispersed, each heading home.

...

"Ling Feng!"

As Ling Feng made it halfway down the path, he suddenly heard a voice from behind. Without looking back, he knew it was Li Bufan.

Since both were yellow-tier students, they naturally shared the same route.

"What's up?"

Ling Feng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Bufan with a hint of teasing in his eyes, as if he had anticipated that Li Bufan would call out to him.

"What exactly did you experience in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder?"

Li Bufan slowly approached until he was ten steps away from Ling Feng before stopping. He then said, "I can tell you that I passed the trial of the ninth level and received the Wind and Thunder Transformation. What about you?"

"The ninth level?" Ling Feng replied indifferently, "What a coincidence, I also passed the ninth level. However, I didn't get the Wind and Thunder Transformation, but something else."

Ling Feng shrugged. The Reincarnated Sword Will was indeed a powerful skill, but...

If mishandled, it could also be fatal.

"You managed to surpass normal limits and stayed in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder for over three days. In that regard, I can't compare to you."

Li Bufan's eyes burned with battle spirit as he stared at Ling Feng. He slowly said, "However, you will only surpass me this once!"

"Is that so?" Ling Feng smiled faintly at Li Bufan. "I also hope you won't fall too far behind, otherwise, without a rival, wouldn't it be lonely? You and I are both teammates and rivals!"

"Teammates and rivals! Hahaha, interesting!"

Li Bufan laughed heartily towards the sky. "Ling Feng, I hope you don't fall too far behind me!"

With that, Li Bufan activated his movement art, instantly unleashing the power of wind and thunder to move as fast as a thunderbolt.

"Hmph, Boundless Sword Steps!"

Ling Feng, unwilling to be outdone, also activated his movement art and immediately matched Li Bufan's speed.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two figures raced against each other.

In the end, they returned to the yellow-tier student area almost simultaneously, each heading back to their respective residences.

"Teammates, but also rivals, huh?"

Li Bufan stood with his hands behind his back, watching Ling Feng's departing figure. A slight smile played on his lips. "Teammates..."

"The path of the sword is lonely. Having a few teammates might not be so bad."

...

"Big Brother!"

When Ling Feng entered the East Court of Tianshu, his roommates stood in a neat line, saluting him with a fist-and-palm gesture and loudly declaring, "Welcome back, Big Brother! The king returns!"

In the courtyard, besides Jiang Xiaofan and Ouyang Jing, there was also Wang Yishan, Liu Yunfei, and the other students who had a good relationship with Ling Feng.

Among them were also several female students, including Qin Wanwan and Zhou Yun.

In fact, if the courtyard were not so small, almost all the yellow-tier students of the East Court would have been there. They were barely able to contain their excitement to welcome their hero and pride of the East Court and yellow-tier students back home.

"What a grand spectacle!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "Thank you, everyone. But calling it the king's return is a bit much. Whose flashy idea was this? Ouyang, was it you?"

"No way, Big Brother, this wasn't my idea." Ouyang Jing quickly waved his hands.

"Not you?" Ling Feng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Feng Mo. In the East Court, Feng Mo and Ouyang Jing were known for their cunning and playful nature.

"Hehe, Brother Feng, it wasn't me either." Feng Mo also waved his hands.

"Not you guys?" Ling Feng was taken aback and began scanning the crowd.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the back of the crowd with a hint of reproach, lightly humming, "So, in your eyes, my idea to welcome you back was just flashy?"

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This voice belonged to none other than the beautiful mentor, Su Qingxuan.

Su Qingxuan gracefully stepped out from the crowd, looking at Ling Feng with a mixture of mock anger and amusement.

Ling Feng started to sweat slightly on his forehead and quickly said, "Mentor Su, I didn't mean it that way."

Su Qingxuan chuckled softly. "Chief Ling, you've really made a big splash this time!"

"It’s just that my classmates were kind enough to give me face," Ling Feng replied modestly.

"Anyway, our East Court has gained much prestige because of you this time. As a mentor, I'm very happy for you. I think Instructor Leng will be even more delighted when he hears the news."

Su Qingxuan had been a mentor for several years and never expected to have a student like Ling Feng, who had caused such a sensation in the academy.

Ling Feng pursed his lips. Knowing Leng Jianfeng's thick-skinned nature, that guy would probably brag all over the place, attracting all kinds of attention and rivalry.

Thinking of Leng Jianfeng, Ling Feng found it amusing and wondered if that guy's beard had grown back yet.

"Chief, you were truly amazing this time!" Wang Yishan said heartily.

"Yeah, you’re the most incredible yellow-tier student I’ve ever seen, no, ever heard of!"

Liu Yunfei added, full of admiration, recalling how he once thought Ling Feng was not his match.

Back then, he was so naive and foolish!

"There are always higher mountains and more talented people in the world. There are so many geniuses out there."

Ling Feng said humbly, waving his hand. At the very least, he couldn't match Yan Jinghong, who had reached the Spiritual Element Realm at such a young age and even dared to venture alone into the demon race's forbidden area to steal their sacred relic, the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl.

That was something Ling Feng knew he couldn't do.

Being arrogant and thinking oneself invincible after a brief success would limit one's future achievements, no matter how talented they were.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Su Qingxuan nodded silently. Despite his young age, he possesses such a mature mindset.

As long as Ling Feng doesn't fall, he will undoubtedly become a significant figure in the empire!
