Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Want to assess your strength through simulation? It won’t work in the Intermediate Star Domain.

We all know that previously in the Black Water Star Realm, whether in the Star Realm or the Demon Realm System, you always achieved remarkable results in each examination.

Maybe real combat is your weakness."

Table Yu said meaningfully.

"I can accept any form of examination."

Zhang Lingfeng had a nonchalant expression.

"That’s good."

Both Tu Hongxuan and Table Yu were also afraid of Zhang Lingfeng having issues.

"Are the people all arranged?"

A moment later, Tu Hongxuan led everyone into a castle. In the center of the castle was a vast starry sky, with many asteroids and numerous starships flying.

Zhang Lingfeng was astonished.

It seemed like a Star Domain was placed in the center of the castle.

Yet everything inside seemed to truly exist.

"Spatial Array."

Qin Tiancang reminded.

After his explanation, Zhang Lingfeng learned that the so-called Star Domain projection was completely nonexistent, but rather a window formed through a Spatial Array, allowing everyone to see the Star Domain as small, as if it encased the entire realm in front of them.

And once passing through the space window, entering the Star Domain in front of them, the power felt is real.

Zhang Lingfeng was truly amazed, thinking that if the Intermediate Star Domain Alliance has such methods, doesn’t it mean they can set up similar space windows in the Black Water Star Realm?

Through the space window, taking one step from a distant Star Domain into the Black Water Star Realm.

Zhang Lingfeng realized that even though his strength had improved significantly, he understood very little about many things.

"All set."

"Please."

An Integration Stage female cultivator waved her hand casually, and a few figures appeared beside everyone as the Space Law Power fluctuated.

A total of six people.

Among them, one had an overwhelming aura like the midday sun, seemingly the most terrifying presence in the Star Domain—none other than Shen Junsong, one of the leaders of the Shen Family, an authentic Tribulation Crossing Immortal.

Due to the balance of Heavenly Dao Laws, he couldn’t stop Zhang Lingfeng from breaking the Shen Family’s Law, but as a member of the Alliance, Shen Junsong found it quite easy to use some means against Zhang Lingfeng in the Intermediate Star Domain.

But unexpectedly, he would be so blatant.

The personnel to assess Zhang Lingfeng’s strength were actually arranged by him personally.

"How could this be?"

Tu Hongxuan’s expression turned ugly.

He naturally understood the relationship between Zhang Lingfeng and the Shen Family, so he had already negotiated with higher-ups to ensure this examination verification would be fair and unbiased without the Shen Family’s involvement, yet the Shen Family still managed to intervene.

And Shen Junsong even brought Shen Qiao’an.

Shen Qiao’an’s penetration of Iron Gall Star Realm’s Law Power had already exceeded fifty percent, and he had successfully undergone Divinity Transformation for many years, securing a spot in the Ancient Moon Sect’s examination.

If Shen Qiao’an were to test Zhang Lingfeng’s strength, Zhang Lingfeng wouldn’t stand a chance.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng carried stronger Law and Life Force, he couldn’t be Shen Qiao’an’s opponent because this is the Intermediate Star Domain. Moreover, Shen Qiao’an mastered more Magical Techniques and Divine Techniques, especially Law Symbols, than Zhang Lingfeng.

As someone who had long been exposed to the Secret Techniques of the Third Major Cultivation System, Shen Qiao’an wouldn’t suffer in this matter.

"How can the examination let the Shen Family intervene?"

Qin Tiancang questioned.

"Relax, I know the rules. Qiao’an and I are just here to watch the fun; the people verifying Zhang Lingfeng’s strength are them."

Shen Junsong said with his hands behind his back.

He glanced at Zhang Lingfeng, who felt like two scorching suns were hovering before him, and the terrifying energy fluctuations seemed to melt him instantly.

Even with the strength of a Great Cultivator in the Integration Stage, before Shen Junsong, he was like an ant, unable to stir any wind waves.

"Are you the one who broke my uncle’s Law?"

Finally seeing Zhang Lingfeng in person, Shen Qiao’an felt incredulous. Although Zhang Lingfeng had successfully undergone Divinity Transformation, his Primordial Spirit Power was clearly inferior to his own. Moreover, he had embedded his power into the Intermediate Star Domain. If he had to deal with Zhang Lingfeng, he was confident he could kill Zhang Lingfeng within three moves.

Such a low-level life form that broke the Law established by their Shen Family was truly beyond belief.

"Do you want to reinstall the Law in the Black Water Star Realm for your uncle?"

Zhang Lingfeng questioned.

This is the Intermediate Star Domain Alliance Camp; even with Shen Junsong’s overwhelming power, he wouldn’t dare kill him, especially with Table Yu and Tu Hongxuan providing deterrence.

If so, why fear a Shen Qiao’an?

Indeed, a Divinity Transformation expert with power embedded into the Intermediate Star Domain has extraordinary strength, far beyond what Zhang Lingfeng could provoke. But if it really came to a fight, Zhang Lingfeng might not be unable to gain the upper hand if he fought with all his might.

Even if he died in the Intermediate Star Domain.

He could resurrect on the Ancient Blue Star and grow rapidly.

"At death’s door and still daring to be stubborn..."

Shen Qiao’an didn’t expect Zhang Lingfeng to dare to provoke him face to face.

"Hahahaha, Shen Junsong, you’re so spineless. A dignified Tribulation Crossing Immortal coming here to bully a junior from the Basic Star Realm. What, is your Shen Family truly worried that Zhang Lingfeng might replace Shen Qiao’an, become an Ancient Moon Sect cultivator, and threaten your Shen Family’s future status with the help of the Ancient Moon Sect?"

A burst of laughter rang out.

It came from the Star Domain within the space window at the center of the castle.

Zhang Lingfeng showed signs of joy.

Saw a light point rapidly enlarging.

Yang Nan, also a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, flew out from the space window and appeared in front of everyone.

"Junior greets Senior Yang."

Zhang Lingfeng quickly saluted.

Qin Tiancang also hurriedly bowed in salute.

"You little brat, I’ll remember your matter for now."

Yang Nan patted Qin Tiancang’s shoulder, and Qin Tiancang stumbled, the stars under his control having meteors falling, but he could only grit his teeth and endure.

"How do you feel about just arriving in the Intermediate Star Domain?"

Yang Nan stepped forward to help Zhang Lingfeng up, showing concern.

"Everything’s fine, except for a few individuals."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

All seemed to be within the same alliance system, but it was apparent that the ground of confidence the alliance provided him was far less than a mere sentence from Yang Nan.

"Hahahaha, no worries, I’m here."

Yang Nan, with his large belly, pointed at the four young men and women standing with Shen Qiao’an and said, "I remember you little guys were the ones eliminated last time. How come you’re arranged to verify Zhang Lingfeng?"

"If Zhang Lingfeng can’t best them, what qualification does he have to get the examination spot?"

Shen Junsong replied.

"The examination results come from Zhang Lingfeng’s comprehensive strength. These four you arranged each have extremely outstanding abilities that the others don’t. In terms of Laws, Life Force, Primordial Spirit Power, or even Soul Power, Zhang Lingfeng will be at a disadvantage."

Yang Nan snorted coldly.

These four might have individual strength that isn’t much, but each specializes in a different power. When they take turns to check Zhang Lingfeng, he can’t withstand them all.

Should he suffer significant damage in any part, the results of the subsequent tests would be predictable.

"This has been approved by the Alliance. If you’re afraid he’ll get hurt, you can have him return to the Black Water Star Realm now, never to come back."

Shen Junsong sneered.

Before them arose a red-headed mandate, an order from the Intermediate Alliance’s steward personnel, deeming this examination’s personnel arrangement reasonable.

The original intent was to verify Zhang Lingfeng’s strength.

Yang Nan glared fiercely at Tu Hongxuan and Table Yu. If they hadn’t sought credit and let him handle it, perhaps Shen Junsong wouldn’t have gotten his way so easily.

"Let me introduce them to you."

"This one specializes in Soul Power, having undergone a second transformation and can refine Great Divine Techniques, disrupting the balance of Great Divine Power."

"This one specializes in Law Power, injected into the Intermediate Star Domain, and masters various Law Symbol Powers."

"This person used Life Law and Divine Techniques to cultivate life with lineage, whose Life Force is akin to Black Water Star Domain Life that helped you break the Shen Family’s Law."

"This person’s Primordial Spirit Power and Divine Techniques combine to refine skills with the Primordial Spirit, even allowing it to leave the body and kill at a distance with Laws."

Yang Nan said gravely, introducing them one by one to Zhang Lingfeng, hoping to draw attention and not take things lightly.

"Ah?"

"What?"

"Oh my!"

"Holy crap!!"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t help but exclaim repeatedly, realizing that Shen Junsong indeed came prepared, intending to ensure he wouldn’t pass the examination!

(Today is my son’s one-year-old celebration, only one update at home, I’ll make it up tomorrow, sorry!)
