Chapter 283: Competition

“That’s right. It’s held for Sage Lin Feng.”

As soon as Sage Kang finished speaking, the expressions of the other Sages became a little solemn. Even the Invincible Fist Sage was no exception.

“Sage Kang, what is it?”

Lin Feng also knew that this day would come sooner or later. The Nine Sages had named him the tenth Sage because they wanted to show their goodwill first. Since they had already shown their goodwill, there were naturally some things that needed to be clarified.

“Sage Lin Feng, we’d like to confirm if you’ve only undergone two life transitions at the moment.” Sage Kang asked in a low voice.

This question might also be the question of all the Sages. Even though they had already investigated it very clearly, they still needed Lin Feng’s confirmation.

“That’s right. I’ve indeed only undergone two life transitions.”

Lin Feng glanced at the Sages. He knew that he could not hide this matter even if he wanted to, so he might as well not hide it. He had the combat power of a Sage, and was also a Sage now. He was not afraid of these Nine Sages at all.

“Hiss.”

Everyone gasped. Even though they had their guesses, they were still very shocked to hear Lin Feng admit it himself.

He had the combat power of a Sage, with only two life transitions. If Sages like themselves, who had undergone four life transitions, obtained the ancient civilization’s legacy, how strong would they be?

At the thought of this, even Sage Kang could not help but feel a little overwhelmed.

“Sage Lin Feng, what ancient civilization’s legacy did you obtain?” Batai even asked eagerly.

Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He only glanced at Sage Batai. Of course he knew Sage Batai. Almost everyone knew about the deeds and images of the Nine Sages.

Sage Batai was the founder of the consortium faction. He was from a large clan to begin with. This consortium clan controlled almost 10% of the world’s wealth, and its influence was immense.

Some people even vaguely pointed out that it was a malignant tumor!

However, Sage Batai was a banner. No one dared to openly oppose the Batai family.

Seeing Lin Feng’s displeased expression, Sage Kang coughed lightly and said, “Sage Batai, please watch your words.”

A strange look flashed across Batai’s face, but he still said with a solemn expression, “Sage Kang, our human world is in such danger in the present. There is a way to increase our strength now. Why not use it? I think Sage Lin Feng will definitely be understanding, for the greater good of humanity.”

Lin Feng’s impression of Sage Batai became even worse. In the past, he had vaguely heard that the Batai family was very avaricious. The few corporations they controlled had all become trusts, monopolizing and controlling many industries.

Looking Sage Batai’s impatient demeanor now, the rumors contained some truth to them.

“Sage Batai, I did obtain some legacy, but the legacy is useless after four life transitions.”

“Sage Lin Feng, tell us the legacy you obtained. We’ll study it together. Perhaps it can also inspire us, and give us a chance to undergo five life transitions…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Invincible Fist Sage snorted coldly and said, “Sage Batai, please remember the purpose of our Supreme Commanders’ Department! Sage Lin Feng is the tenth Sage and our companion. What do you mean by this? Are you coercing Sage Lin Feng? I’ll be the first to say no!”

The Invincible Fist Sage had a fiery temper and spoke directly. His tone clearly showed great discontent with Sage Batai.

“Invincible Fist Sage, I’m also doing this in consideration for all of humanity.”

“Hmph, I think you’re doing this in consideration of yourself.

The Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Batai began arguing. The atmosphere between the Sages also tensed slightly.

Lin Feng took in everything. It seemed like the Nine Sages were not as harmonious as they appeared on the surface. There were actually some disputes among them. It was just that outsiders were not aware.

“Sage Batai, Invincible Fist Sage, both of you give it a rest.”

Sage Kang had spoken, so the two Sages stopped the discourse.

“Sage Lin Feng, you are already a Sage now. You are one of us, and also part of humanity. We will not coerce any Sage. You had your own opportunities. Every Sage here had their own opportunities, but have we all contributed them? No. Even I myself am not devoid of selfish motives.

“But there’s one thing. We all belong to humanity!”

Sage Kang’s gaze was a little sharp, especially towards Sage Batai.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment. He also understood. Sage Kang and the Invincible Fist Sage both supported him, and the academic faction moved as one. The other two Sages of the academic faction would definitely support the Invincible Fist Sage.

This way, Lin Feng was not alone and helpless. Moreover, he agreed with Sage Kang’s philosophy very much. Everyone had their own privacy and opportunities. If the Sages forced anyone who had obtained some kind of legacy to hand it over, humanity would probably be in chaos now.

“Sage Kang, don’t worry. I’m a member of humanity, and I always will be! At the appropriate time, after I’ve studied it thoroughly and it can improve martial arts, I’ll publicize it.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Sage Lin Feng. All right, this matter ends here.”

Although Sage Batai was a little unwilling, seeing that even Sage Kang had said so, he could not ask further. Otherwise, the Invincible Fist Sage, Sage Kang, and Sage Yuanyi would definitely be displeased with him.

“Sage Lin Feng, apart from having you meet the nine of us to familiarize ourselves with each other, there’s another important agenda for holding this Conference of Sages. Have you thought about which faction you want to join?”

This was the true purpose of this Conference of Sages.

“Join which faction?”

Lin Feng glanced at the Nine Sages. Needless to say, these Nine Sages all had their own factions, forming the five major factions.

Using the five major factions, the Nine Sages held the highest authority over humanity. This way, they would also have a huge advantage when facing those dire beasts. At the very least, they could mobilize manpower very quickly.

Without the support of the five major factions, it was impossible to maintain so many frontline bases.

“Lin Feng came from the Myriad Academy. He’ll naturally join the academic faction!”

The Invincible Fist Sage said, and looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Lin Feng was already a Sage now. Dongfang Sheng was also a genius, a super genius who had the greatest chance of becoming a Sage. In the future, there might even be three Sages from the Myriad Academy alone.

At that time, how illustrious would the Myriad Academy be?

Even Sages had their own selfish motives. The Myriad Academy was the foundation of the Invincible Fist Sage. For the sake of the Myriad Academy, the Invincible Fist Sage naturally hoped that Lin Feng would join the academic faction.

“Heh, invincible, that’s not necessarily the case! Who said that you have to join whichever faction you came from? Our military faction welcomes Sage Lin Feng to join us.” Sage Zhou Tianqi from the military faction said.

“Our consortium faction also welcomes Sage Lin Feng. As long as Sage Lin Feng is willing to join our consortium faction, I can make the decision to immediately hand over at least a third of the consortium faction’s businesses to Sage Lin Feng.”

Sage Batai also joined the competition for Lin Feng. Although he had targeted Lin Feng a little just now, if he could rope Lin Feng into the consortium faction, no one would mind the unpleasantness just now.

“Looks like I have no choice but to speak. Sage Lin Feng, would you like to join the government faction?”

Even Sage Kang could not help but join the competition for Lin Feng.
