Chapter 302: Cycle of Reincarnation!
Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder.
Ling Feng naturally had no idea about the situation outside, and he had even lost track of time.
He didn't know how long he had been in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder; it just felt like a considerable amount of time.
"The ninth level!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath, aligning his spirit and qi to its peak state, and then proceeded to step into the luminous barrier of the ninth level.
What kind of trial will the ninth level of hellish difficulty present?
Ling Feng was deeply curious!
As the flickering lights and shadows danced before him, when Ling Feng passed through the luminous barrier and entered the ninth level, a sly voice immediately reached his ears.
It was the voice of the Spirit of Wind and Thunder!
"You brat, you’re quite impressive to be able to pass through eight levels in a row!"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder wore a smirk as it looked at Ling Feng, winking and grinning.
"Is it you?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched. "Could it be that the ninth level is a competition with you?"
Ling Feng felt an urge to cough up blood. The Spirit of Wind and Thunder was a terrifying existence that required the joint effort of the directors of the four major academies to subdue and was far stronger than the likes of the Thunderous Sword King or the Wuji Sword King.
I'm fighting it?
Ling Feng took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Senior, may I ask what the trial of the ninth level is about?"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder withdrew its lecherous facade and said solemnly, "The power of the ninth level is somewhat different. Your talent and strength have already been recognized by the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder. The ninth level, rather than being a trial, is more of an opportunity for you to test your luck."
"Oh?" Ling Feng finally relaxed and then asked, "Is it related to the attribute of sword will?"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder did not directly respond to Ling Feng but continued on its own, saying, "If you can pass this trial, the opportunity you gain will benefit you for a lifetime. It will provide an unparalleled boost for you to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. However, in the trial of the ninth level, once you lose yourself, the consequence will be that your soul will be forever imprisoned in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder until the day your spirit dissipates.
"So, I give you the chance to choose for yourself. Are you willing to venture into the ninth level?"
The expression of the Spirit of Wind and Thunder was very serious, and Ling Feng could sense that it seemed to really want him to pass the ninth level.
"I've already made it to the ninth level, so I have no reason to retreat." Ling Feng clenched his fists. "The path of martial arts is about seizing one's own life from the heavens for themselves. If one hesitates and fears, what's the point of practicing martial arts?"
"Very well!" The Spirit of Wind and Thunder took out a scale-like object. "The ninth level is a test of your spirit. This Dream Dragon Scale can remind you of the most important thing in your heart when you lose yourself, but this effect can only be used once. I hope you won't need it."
Ling Feng accepted the Dream Dragon Scale and thanked the spirit. "Thank you, Senior."
"No need." The Spirit of Wind and Thunder smirked. "I'm curious to see if you can truly gain the real inheritance of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder!"
"I will definitely obtain it!" Ling Feng's eyes flashed with unwavering determination.
Su Lin was the woman Ling Feng wasted half a year on, even at the cost of losing his sight, to cure her Three Yin Death Pulse. Yet when Ling Feng was being beaten, she didn't even spare him a glance!
This time, Ling Feng witnessed everything from the perspective of a bystander, and the hatred in his heart undoubtedly deepened a bit.
This kind of woman...!
Ling Feng clenched his fists while watching the scene before him, but could only stand by and was unable to change anything.
The cries of killing, the wails, and the grins!
This night was chaotic and bloody.
In the end, Ling Feng died, killed under the cudgels of Chen Huang and his companions.
"I'm dead?"
Ling Feng walked to the corpse of his other self, slightly stunned. "I... died like this?"
What's going on?
Did my Eye of the Emperor not activate?
Then, where am I?
Who am I?
The surrounding scenes gradually became illusory, entering a new cycle again.
In his second life, Ling Feng was not killed but saved by a passing expert. Later, he continued to travel with his grandfather practicing medicine, eventually got married and had children in his thirties. He enjoyed his later years in peace.
In his third life, Ling Feng did not die from being beaten to death but rather crawled out of the mud. He avoided cultivating, escaped to a small village, and lived a mediocre life. In the end, he died of depression.
In his fourth life, Ling Feng turned into a bandit. After some opportunities, he cultivated to the Pulse Formation Realm, exterminated Su Lin's family, and became a notorious villain. He was eventually killed by disciples of a sect, and his corpse was left in the wilderness.
In his fifth life, Ling Feng was caught by evil people, had his legs broken, became a tool for making money, begged for a living, and eventually froze to death in winter.
In the sixth life, Ling Feng activated the Eye of the Emperor but couldn't wake up. He turned into a slaughter-crazed monster, experiencing more than ten years of slaughter, and was eventually besieged by hundreds of martial arts experts before dying in the wilderness.
Seventh life...
Eighth life...
...
In his ninety-ninth life, Ling Feng joined the Wenxian Sect, grew step by step, and eventually cultivated to the Spiritual Sea Realm. He was able to look down on the world, and even stepped out of the Dongling Region to enter a broader martial arts world.
In his hundredth life, Ling Feng's life began at Tianwei Academy. He entered the Hunting Competition, ranked in the top ten, entered the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, met the Spirit of Wind and Thunder, and participated in the ninth level trial.
In this life, Ling Feng couldn't even distinguish himself from the Ling Feng of the reincarnation world and almost lost himself. Fortunately, the Dream Dragon Scale in his hand reminded him in time. Ling Feng didn't lose himself, and his soul was not forever imprisoned in this cycle.
