Chapter 312: Becoming Famous from One Battle

"What?"

Tong Chengtai's eyes suddenly lit up, and a vibrant vitality burst forth. In an instant, his hair was no longer disheveled, his beard became smooth, and he seemed rejuvenated as if he had been reborn!

In that moment, Tong Chengtai felt like he had ascended from hell to heaven!

Ling Feng is not dead, which means I won't have to die either!

Hahaha...

"Ahem!" Tong Chengtai's expression changed, becoming serious. "Forget what you just heard."

Lin Xian'er's mouth twitched, and she quickly nodded. "Yes, Teacher!"

"Good." Tong Chengtai's old face was somewhat embarrassed, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Alright, Xian'er, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. I have other matters to attend to."

"Uh... yes, Teacher!"

Although Lin Xian'er didn't understand why Tong Chengtai seemed like a different person after learning that Ling Feng was alive, it at least meant her teacher wouldn't target Ling Feng anymore. This was a good thing.

Maybe in the future, she could even have her teacher accept Ling Feng as a disciple. Then she and Ling Feng would have the same mentor, and Ling Feng would have to call her 'senior sister'.

Hehe!

Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but smile. She bowed to Tong Chengtai and then left the vice-director's office.

"Thank god, thank god!"

Tong Chengtai tore the casualty list on his desk into tiny pieces and threw them into the air like falling snowflakes.

"My life is saved!"

After a long while, Tong Chengtai finally calmed down and murmured to himself, saying, "That kid stayed in the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder for more than three days and still came back alive. Could it be..."

Tong Chengtai's pupils suddenly contracted, and two words flashed through his mind: hellish difficulty!

The hellish difficulty of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder might not be widely known, but anyone who had studied the history of the Yijian Sect would know that the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder had an additional hidden difficulty level.

If Ling Feng had entered the hellish difficulty and returned alive, then his monstrous talent was likely beyond Tong Chengtai's expectations.

"No wonder that old madman, Yan Cangtian, holds him in such high regard!"

Tong Chengtai felt a deep sense of fear and made up his mind. "It seems I must take extra care of that kid. In the future, he is sure to become a half-step emperor, and might even break through to the emperor level!"

...

"What? The East Court's sword team defeated the North Court's second team?"

"And Gu Tengfeng didn't even participate?"

Xue Xiaolin also smiled warmly, glancing at Gu Tengfeng with eyes full of affection.

She finally understood that their seemingly rough captain had an exceptional eye for talent.

It was obvious to everyone that there was a subtle affection between Xue Xiaolin and Gu Tengfeng, though neither had ever expressed it openly. Hence, the sword team members always considered her their big sister.

Even Yu Sixian, the notorious flirt, didn't dare make advances towards Xue Xiaolin.

"Captain, our East Court has finally regained some pride!"

Yu Sixian excitedly hugged the burly man, almost planting a kiss on him in his enthusiasm.

Though he hadn't participated in the match, the victory's glory belonged to the entire team.

Gu Tengfeng pushed Yu Sixian away and looked at Ling Feng while smiling faintly.

The hero of this match was undoubtedly Ling Feng.

After Li Bufan's defeat, which had significantly lowered the team's morale, Ling Feng's entry brought unparalleled confidence to everyone.

His performance was nothing short of remarkable.

He didn't seem like a newcomer but rather a seasoned warrior.

His team strategy was on par with, if not better than, those of Gong Cheng and Gu Tengfeng.

He had a general's talent!

The term 'general's talent' came to Gu Tengfeng's mind, and it meant a true strategist who planned meticulously and won from afar.

"Alright, it was just a practice match, after all. You all still have much to learn!"

Gu Tengfeng's expression turned serious as he said, "Ling Feng, you did well today. Keep it up!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Ling Feng nodded. Although he hadn't used all his strength in today's match, the victory hadn't come easily.

Yang Zhan, after all, was a master of fifty-two meridian gates, and with his team's coordination, they had posed a significant challenge.

If the second team was this formidable, the first team's level must be even more terrifying.

And among the five courts, the Central Court's sword team was known to be the strongest; their true strength remained unknown.

Half a year!

Ling Feng clenched his fists, knowing he had only half a year to grow and prepare.
