Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

"What’s your name?"

The handsome young man stepped forward and asked.

Zhang Lingfeng was about to answer when Qin Tiancang gestured for him to remain silent and stepped forward saying, "He’s one of my disciples, just entered the Intermediate Star Domain, hasn’t seen much of the world yet, don’t hold it against him."

Although the other party only had a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation level, being able to live in the Intermediate Star Domain and work for the Alliance indicated he had some backing. Qin Tiancang, despite being a Great Cultivator at the Integration Stage, did not wish to clash with such people unless necessary.

"Hmph!"

The handsome young man glared at Zhang Lingfeng before turning and leaving. He could tell Qin Tiancang was extraordinary, to have a Divinity Transformation Stage expert as a disciple indicated he himself was definitely a Great Cultivator at the Integration Stage.

It’s wise to stop when things are favorable, and not act recklessly.

"This is the Intermediate Star Domain, speak less, observe more."

Qin Tiancang advised.

Zhang Lingfeng and Nie Lin nodded silently.

Moments later, Zhang Lingfeng and the others followed Qin Tiancang to meet Tu Hongxuan and Zhou You.

Though the two failed in their tribulation, they were indeed true Loose Immortal experts, their strength was not weaker than Qin Tiancang, and served as his leaders.

Previously in the Black Water Star Realm, Zhang Lingfeng had seen them both, but due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao Laws and Symbolic Power, he had not truly felt their power.

Now in the Intermediate Star Domain Alliance Camp, meeting them again.

Zhang Lingfeng immediately felt a power that could devour the heavens and stars; both Tu Hongxuan and Zhou You gave him a sense of being formidable entities, emerging from the Space-Time Long River, their power long integrated with the laws.

Seemingly beyond the boundary of comprehension.

As if, wherever they went, the laws would follow their lead, like they had comprehended the local laws, possessing unimaginable oppressive power.

Perhaps only the Heavenly Dao Laws could suppress their law powers.

Inwardly, Zhang Lingfeng was profoundly shaken.

After entering the Intermediate Star Domain, he realized how terrifying the rugged Qin Tiancang was, what level of experts the hot-tempered Zhou You and refined Tu Hongxuan belonged to.

This was the existence that even with the comprehension of Black Water Star Realm Law and mastery of 2.90 Life Mass from Black Water Star Domain Life Force, he couldn’t contend against.

Reflecting back, if not for the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws, had Zhang Lingfeng been able to feel the opponent’s strength and terror as he does now, he might have compromised under such pressure.

Offering a portion of Black Water Star Realm’s laws and life force to the Alliance, seeking its protection.

Only now, Zhang Lingfeng realized how terrifying the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws was, even beings as powerful as Tu Hongxuan and Zhou You were docile as kittens before it.

In the Black Water Star Realm, he could act with impunity.

"Little guy, how do you feel coming up here?"

Zhou You intentionally put on a stern face and asked.

"The sky beyond the sky, there are always people beyond people, here the laws and life are too powerful, Black Water Star Realm compared to this is insignificant."

Zhang Lingfeng replied flatteringly.

"Hahaha!"

Zhou You couldn’t hold back.

Earlier in Black Water Star Realm, the way Zhang Lingfeng spoke forcefully and acted arrogantly—they remembered vividly, indeed once one enters Intermediate Star Domain, any basic life can perceive their own insignificance.

"We brought you up, not to hold you accountable, but to help secure a spot for assessment, and see you practice in the Ancient Moon Sect."

Tu Hongxuan said soothingly.

"To be honest, years ago, both of us entered the Ancient Moon Sect, but didn’t last long and were expelled due to our insufficient talent. If you can enter the Ancient Moon Sect, while obtaining Alliance rewards, you could also fulfill our past regrets, and once you’re strong in future, might assist in our cultivation, even gift us a fortune."

Zhou You said seriously.

In this world, there’s no gratuitous support, but only through mutual aid can one go further.

Tu Hongxuan and Zhou You’s actions not only showed appreciation for Zhang Lingfeng’s ability but also aimed to build a future good relationship.

If Zhang Lingfeng fails the validation and can’t enter the Ancient Moon Sect, it wouldn’t cause them any loss, only time would be wasted.

In Zhang Lingfeng’s mind, Yang Nan’s words surfaced, he bowed and asked, "As you expected, after you left, Elder Yang sought me, however, I learned from him that even if I pass the Alliance validation assessment and get a spot for Ancient Moon Sect’s exam, the spot comes from Yang Country Star Realm. Elder Yang said the Alliance has no extra spots for me, all have been claimed."

"That old fool is always troublesome."

Tu Hongxuan cursed under his breath.

"You don’t need to bother with him; as long as you successfully pass the validation, the Alliance will find a way regarding the spot, as for how the Alliance secures it, that’s for the Alliance to handle, not your concern."

Zhou You advised.

"Understood."

Zhang Lingfeng understood instantly.

"Let’s go, your validation assessment by the Alliance is ready."

"To fully prove your potential to practice in the Ancient Moon Sect, each ability verification will be through real combat."

Tu Hongxuan and Zhou You said one after another.

"What?"

Zhang Lingfeng was somewhat surprised.

"Each assessment verification in the Intermediate Star Domain is conducted through actual combat. Although technology of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance is advanced, it cannot simulate Intermediate Star Domain’s law power fluctuations, etc.
