Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Ultimate Martial Master
Speaking of which, Nan Shan stepped forward, his body exuding a formidable aura. This man was at least at the Martial Master Ninth Layer Peak.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What choice I make is my business, what does it have to do with you?"
"Hmph, it naturally has nothing to do with us, but kid, you would rather choose a Marquis from a small country as your mentor than join our Star Palace. What, do you really think you are someone important? Let me tell you the truth, although a Ninth Grade Star is not bad, don’t take yourself too seriously. Look at me, although I am also a Ninth Grade Star, I am even a mutated Ninth Grade Star. Do you see me being arrogant at all?" Nan Shan said indifferently.
His attitude was like that of an elder scolding his offspring, with an innate arrogance.
Lin Feng really found it quite speechless. He didn’t expect to encounter such characters just coming out to enjoy the scenery.
"Are you done talking? If so, I’ll be leaving."
Lin Feng waved his hand, utterly unwilling to waste precious time here.
"Eh? Did I say you could leave?"
However, Nan Shan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "You just hit one of our Star Palace students, and now you think you can just walk away like this?"
Lin Feng frowned at him, already getting impatient, "So, what do you want to do?"
Nan Shan’s mouth curved up slightly: "Simple, kneel down and apologize to us, and I’ll let bygones be bygones, letting you off this one time!"
Kneel down and apologize?
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What if I say no?"
"No?"
Nan Shan was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "It seems you have quite some confidence in yourself, young man. Don’t blame me for not warning you. I am a mutated Ninth Grade Star. Do you still dare to say no to me?"
Lin Feng said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Mutated Ninth Grade Star, is that very impressive?"
Hearing this, Nan Shan felt a leap in his heart. Seeing Lin Feng’s demeanor, it seemed as though he had full confidence, and Nan Shan immediately became suspicious and asked, "What kind of Star is this kid?"
"He seems to be a War Giant Elephant. Yes, that’s right, that’s what it is," Vulture recalled and promptly said.
"A War Giant Elephant?"
Nan Shan immediately showed disdain, for although the War Giant Elephant was also a Beast Star, it was far inferior to his type of mutated Beast Star.
"I thought it was some impressive Star, nothing more than this. Kid, today you either kneel down and kowtow to us, or don’t even think about going anywhere!!"
Nan Shan stepped forward, his body radiating a fierce aura as he stared at Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Lin Feng simply looked at him calmly, "I’ll give you one last chance. Either leave now, or get beaten down by me."
"Beaten down by you?"
Nan Shan paused, then burst into laughter, "Kid, you don’t think that just because you can defeat Vulture, you can defeat me? Let me tell you the truth, I am Martial Master Ninth Layer Peak."
"If you’re so confident, then fine. Let’s see what strength you, a Martial Master Seventh Layer, have to beat me down!!"
As he spoke, he burst forth in a flash, and within the Imperial City, private duels were naturally forbidden, but he was a disciple of the Star Palace, and moreover, he came from the Star Palace of the Great Thousand Domain, with a transcendent status. Not to mention a private duel, even if he were to execute Lin Feng on the spot, no one would dare to trouble him.
"This idiot, actually daring to challenge Nan Shan, now he’s definitely doomed. What a pity for a Ninth Grade Star, it’d be much better if it were mine."
Vulture watched everything, feeling regret in his heart.
In his view, Lin Feng, although formidable, was far inferior to Nan Shan.
However, the next moment, he froze, standing still like a statue.
Speaking of which, Nan Shan’s punch came at Lin Feng as fast as lightning. Without using any Combat Skills, it was purely a test of strength; yet the power of this punch had already surpassed 1,900 jin, and could easily kill a martial master of the Ninth Layer.
Nevertheless, facing the opponent’s punch wrapped in immense power, Lin Feng fearlessly chose to confront it head-on.
"Courting death!"
Nan Shan saw the other party not dodging and even daring to fight head-on, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes. Confidence is good, but overconfidence is arrogance, a digging of one’s own grave!
However, the next moment, his expression changed. His punch and Lin Feng’s collided, instantly sending a visible wave of air spreading all around, and contrary to his expectations, Lin Feng did not collapse upon contact. He merely shook slightly and didn’t even take a half step back!
How is this possible!!
Both Nan Shan and Vulture had this thought flash through their minds. Logically speaking, even if Lin Feng was a Ninth Grade Star, his current cultivation was only at the Martial Master Seventh Layer, and even though the War Giant Elephant was a strength-amplifying Star, it would only grant him a strength of at most 1,900 jin.
But now, Lin Feng was able to withstand Nan Shan’s punch without any harm, which meant he must have possessed ultimate strength.
1,999! It seemed only 99 higher, but this 99 was the gap. Many martial masters at the Peak of the Ninth Layer had sweated endlessly just to increase their strength by one jin.
Some people might spend their entire lives able to increase their strength to 1,930, 1,950, or even 1,980, but could never reach 1,999.
Because this represented an ultimate realm, a pinnacle. Reaching it meant your strength among martial masters was sublime; failing to reach it meant you were not the strongest.
Nan Shan himself was not just a Martial Master at the Ninth Layer Peak but also a Mutant-type strength Ninth Grade Star. Even so, it took him two and a half years to elevate his own strength to the ultimate level, a process accompanied by much blood and sweat.
But this guy in front of him, younger by a year or two, merely a Martial Master Seventh Layer, actually possessed strength comparable to his.
What did this mean?
It meant that the other party’s Star was even more powerful than his mutated Ninth Grade.
At this moment, Nan Shan became bewildered. Was the War Giant Elephant Star really that powerful?
He could never imagine that the youth standing before him was a Dragon-type Star.
"Mutated Stars are indeed quite strong. I’ve learned something today."
Lin Feng glanced at Nan Shan and then at the Star Palace before turning away and leaving coolly, leaving Nan Shan with a green complexion.
"Nan, Brother Nan Shan, are you okay?"
Vulture asked cautiously, still unable to recover from his shock. It was a joke; that guy was merely a Martial Master Seventh Layer and yet managed to tie in strength with Nan Shan, who was already at the pinnacle of power.
Those like Nan Shan who have reached 1,999 jin in strength, all can be called Ultimate Martial Masters; this is an honorary title for their honor.
