Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

When Ling Fei's foot landed on the second step, Light Patterns immediately flickered into existence, and another Metal Beast Puppet appeared before him.

This Beast Puppet's aura was clearly much stronger, possessing the force of ten thousand jin.

Yet, Ling Fei still sent it flying with a single punch.

Then came the third, the fourth, and the fifth!

By the time Ling Fei stepped onto the ninth step, the Metal Beast Puppet that appeared attacked with a punch carrying the Power of nineteen thousand jin.

BANG!

Ling Fei struck, throwing a punch as the Blood Qi surged within him, completely crushing the Beast Puppet.

"This Ling Fei actually has the power of nineteen thousand jin in the Body Tempering Realm!" Seeing this, the people on the mountaintop finally began to show their surprise.

Reaching this level of explosive Power in the Body Tempering Realm was considered a passing grade, even in the Southern Wilderness.

If he could advance even further, he would be considered quite good.

Thus, the crowd began to pay a little more attention to Ling Fei.

Having reached this level, Ling Fei could continue with the rest of the assessment even if he failed this part.

This result was already enough to gain entry into the major Sects of the Southern Wilderness.

However, this level of achievement wouldn't garner much attention; he would only be able to become one of the Outer Disciples.

Ling Fei strode forward and stepped onto the tenth step.

The Beast Puppet this time had a powerful aura, possessing the immense force of twenty thousand jin.

But Ling Fei circulated his Blood Qi, condensed his True Dragon Momentum, and struck with overwhelming force.

BOOM!

With a single punch, the Beast Puppet was sent flying. It crashed to the ground and vanished.

'In the past, I definitely wouldn't have had this Power,' Ling Fei thought, his mind as clear as a mirror. 'But now, not only have I comprehended True Dragon Momentum, I've also mastered True Dragon Intent. Even if I suppress my Realm, my comprehension remains. The Power I can now unleash with a single punch is incomparable to what I had at Ninth Layer Body Tempering Perfection.'

For this exact reason, when two people of different Realms sparred, there was no true fairness even if the stronger one suppressed their Cultivation.

The stronger expert's breadth of vision and Mental Realm had already far surpassed the weaker one's.

It was for this reason that Shangguan Wan'Er, despite knowing how talented Ling Fei was, had never sought to spar with him.

Even if she suppressed her True Qi, it would have been unfair.

After Ling Fei struck this time, the elders of the Four Major Sects and their accompanying youths on the mountaintop looked at him with a new level of seriousness.

The looks of contempt on their faces had vanished.

Ling Fei showed no signs of strain, clearly indicating he still had strength in reserve and could keep going.

BANG, BANG!

Ling Fei attacked relentlessly, defeating Metal Beast Puppets with Attack Power ranging from twenty-two thousand jin to twenty-six thousand jin…

One Beast Puppet after another was beaten back, yet Ling Fei didn't feel the slightest bit of strain.

"He's already at twenty-six thousand jin?" On the mountaintop, a young man from the Southern Wilderness couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

"This kid has that kind of Power in the Body Tempering Realm?" Liu Chen frowned. He himself had only managed to reach twenty-seven thousand jin in his time.

And that was only thanks to an eruption of his Liu Clan's Bloodline Power!

On the mountain steps, Ling Fei continued to climb.

He had now reached the sixteenth step.

This Beast Puppet's aura was immense. The moment it appeared, it exuded an oppressive feeling.

The Beast Puppet attacked, the wind from its palm strike so fierce it felt like it was scraping one's skin.

This Beast Puppet's Attack Power was an immense twenty-eight thousand jin.

Ling Fei struck, successfully blocking its attack. After just two blows, the Beast Puppet was sent flying.

After taking a deep breath, Ling Fei advanced again.

Twenty-eight thousand, twenty-nine thousand, thirty thousand, thirty-two thousand!

"Th-this… Ling Fei's explosive Power has reached thirty-two thousand jin?" At this, an uproar finally erupted on the mountaintop.

Liu Chen stared ahead, his face a mask of utter shock.

The Physical Power Ling Fei was now displaying had clearly surpassed his own past record of twenty-seven thousand jin!

"He reached thirty-two thousand jin? Which of the Empire's geniuses reached that level this time?" the Steward from the Beiming Sword Sect asked the person beside him.

He too wore an expression of astonishment.

Although explosive Physical Power wasn't everything, possessing a physique far beyond the ordinary was a major advantage.

In the Martial Arts World, there was no shortage of powerful Body Refining experts who could dominate entire regions!

"The strongest this time was the Eighth Prince, Li Heng, but he only managed to crush a Beast Puppet with the immense force of thirty-one thousand jin!" a young man nearby replied.

Li Heng had been the one with the strongest Physical Power among all the candidates in this assessment.

This was all related to his status as a scion of the Royal Family and his cultivation of the True Dragon Body Refining Technique.

"This Ling Fei is actually so strong?" By now, none of the Stewards from the various Sects dared to underestimate Ling Fei any longer.

The youths from the Southern Wilderness all wore solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the young man on the steps.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei continued to press forward.

This time, it was a Beast Puppet with the immense Attack Power of thirty-three thousand jin.

BANG!

The moment the Beast Puppet attacked, Ling Fei struck it down.

"He actually has the same explosive Power as Li Yufeng did back in the day?"

"Look, he's moving forward again!"

"It's down! The Beast Puppet with an Attack Power of thirty-four thousand jin was sent flying!"

"Ling Fei's explosive Power has surpassed Li Yufeng's!" Cries of astonishment rang out.

The crowd could no longer remain calm.

Even the youths from the Four Major Sects stared with wide eyes, a trace of respect appearing in their gazes as they watched Ling Fei.

After all, Li Yufeng was a considerably famous figure, not just in the Lingyun Sect, but across all Four Great Sects of the South Wilderness!

'Will this Ling Fei reach Li Yufeng's level in the future?'

BANG!

As the crowd watched in astonishment, the Beast Puppet with an immense Attack Power of thirty-four thousand jin was struck down by Ling Fei.

Thirty-six thousand jin!

Thirty-seven thousand jin!

With every step Ling Fei took, the eyes of those on the mountaintop grew wider.

"Thirty-seven thousand jin! Heavens, back in the day, even Li Qinghou only defeated a Beast Puppet with an immense force of thirty-six thousand jin!"

At this, the entire scene erupted in an uproar.

Not just the elders of the Three Great Academies, but even the people from the Four Great Sects of the South Wilderness couldn't help but gasp.

Li Qinghou…

He was a renowned figure even in the Southern Wilderness!

For Ling Fei to have broken his record now meant his potential was limitless.

If Ling Fei's talent in Martial Arts could also match Li Qinghou's, he was certain to make a name for himself in the Southern Wilderness.

At this thought, the way everyone looked at Ling Fei changed completely.

"This kid actually possesses such Divine Power?" At this point, it wasn't just the youths who were shocked; even several of the Stewards from the Four Major Sects had stood up.

The Stewards from the Beiming Sword Sect, the Lingyun Sect, the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple, and even the female Steward from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers all stared at Ling Fei with fiery eagerness.

"With such Divine Power, if he cultivates my Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple's Great Sun Vajra Technique, he is guaranteed to achieve Great Success!" The monk from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple's eyes gleamed. His gaze shifted as he seemed to ponder how to entice—er, trick—no, *guide* this young genius into the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple.

"If he cultivates my Beiming Sword Sect's Beiming Body Refining Technique, he could also achieve great things," the Beiming Sword Sect's Steward murmured.

"My Lingyun Sect's Celestial Spirit Body Refining Technique can help him achieve greatness in Body Refining, our other Divine Techniques are second to none, and our Elixirs are an even greater advantage," the Lingyun Sect's Steward also muttered.

At this moment, all of them were thinking about how to bring this young man into their own Sect.

'What if we lose out to the other Sects?'

However, they quickly refocused their attention on Ling Fei, who was displayed on the light screen.

Because after taking a deep breath, Ling Fei had just taken another step.

"Can he still keep going?" The crowd was filled with anticipation.

Ling Fei continued forward.

The aura of the Beast Puppet that attacked this time was truly powerful.

BANG!

As the massive beast's palm struck, even the Void itself began to tremble.

This was a tremor caused by pure Power.
