"Hmph, who else wants to challenge me? Knives and swords have no eyes!"

Ling Feng's gaze swept across the Inner Sea geniuses in the crowd. Those so-called youth elites shrank to the side, no longer with their previous aggressive demeanor.

Murong Zining stared at the deceased Jian Chen, her phoenix eyes filled with killing intent. The person she wanted to win over was actually killed? And right in front of her!

Just then, Jian Chen's father arrived.

"Who killed my son!"

It turned out that with Jian Chen's death, his Lifebound Soul Lamp also extinguished.

Jian Chen's father sensed his son's location and immediately rushed over.

Jian Chen's father, Jian Xibai, was powerful and emitted a terrifying aura that made everyone tremble with fear.

Many people secretly rejoiced, thinking that the arrogant Ling Feng would not escape death this time.

"I just casually killed a waste. If you want to avenge him, I can also reunite you father and son."

Ling Feng smiled arrogantly, completely unafraid.

"You're courting death, boy!"

Jian Xibai's killing intent intensified, ready to strike, but the Great Elder beside Queen Huanxin, Elder Tianyi, intervened.

"Jian Xibai, stand down immediately!"

With just one sentence, Elder Tianyi forced Jian Xibai to retreat.

Given Elder Tianyi's strength and status, even Jian Xibai could only leave obediently.

"Thank you."

Ling Feng shrugged and bowed to Elder Tianyi in gratitude.

Even though he believed he could handle Jian Xibai without Elder Tianyi, it would certainly have been troublesome.

"Hahaha, young friend, you are truly surprising! Queen Huanxin thinks highly of you too! I suspect that if you take first place in the test the day after tomorrow, the Queen might let you use the Time Hourglass three times."

The Great Elder looked at Ling Feng with an unmistakable enthusiasm, even more so than when facing Murong Zining.

Moreover, when he spoke the last sentence, there was another meaning in the Great Elder's eyes.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was initially taken aback but soon understood. It seemed that Queen Huanxin knew about him passing the Soul-locking Bridge in just one breath. Adding to that, he had revealed his Supreme Black Diamond Card, which made her treat him so courteously, even sending the Great Elder to win him over.

"The Great Elder overpraises. It is truly an honor to be recognized by Queen Huanxin," Ling Feng replied, neither humble nor arrogant, bowing to the Great Elder.

"Hehe..."

The Great Elder laughed aloud, "Young friend, excessive humility can also be a form of pride. Just the fact that you could cross the Soul-locking Bridge in one breath is enough for the Queen to regard you highly. You should know, even for me, crossing the Soul-locking Bridge takes at least more than five breaths. Your Divine Power is likely not much inferior to mine!"

"It was just luck, pure luck!"

Ling Feng smiled lightly, his expression calm, as if he had done something not worth mentioning.

"Alright, I need to return to report to Queen Huanxin. I look forward to seeing you at the Heavenly Illusion Palace in two days."

"Of course, of course!"

Ling Feng nodded, watching the Great Elder leave, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed that he left quite a good impression on Queen Huanxin.

Hearing the conversation between the elder and the youth, those Inner Sea geniuses couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"What, it turns out the one who passed the Soul-locking Bridge in one breath was this guy!"

"No way, so Jian Chen was impersonating?"

"This... this... no wonder this kid is so defiant!"

The most incredulous was Murong Zining herself. Her delicate body trembled, and she looked at Ling Feng in disbelief, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

It turned out the one who passed the Soul-locking Bridge in one breath was not Jian Chen, but this obscure young man!

Murong Zining was dumbfounded but took a closer look, realizing Ling Feng was also dressed in white and was a young swordsman, far younger than Jian Chen!

Suddenly, Murong Zining felt as if struck by Thunder Urgency, realizing the grave mistake she had made!

When she saw Jian Chen, she assumed he was the young swordsman who crossed the Soul-locking Bridge in one breath, completely overlooking the low-cultivated Ling Feng.

But in fact, Ling Feng was the exceptionally talented young swordsman!

Murong Zining almost couldn't resist the urge to slap herself twice for ignoring such a genius as Ling Feng and instead tried to befriend a worthless fool!

No, not only ignored, but she seemed to have somewhat offended Ling Feng!
