    Chapter 377

    The Feng Lineage had a total of around three hundred and seventy members, just under four hundred.

    Among them were roughly one hundred Qi Induction Realm disciples.

    The Foundation Establishment Realm had the largest population, numbering around one hundred and fifty.

    There were also nearly one hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators.

    However, when it came to the Nascent Soul Realm, the numbers dropped sharply to only six.

    Above that...

    There was only a single Unity Realm cultivator.


    ---

    Compared to the Foundation Establishment competition, the battles between the Golden Core cultivators were on an entirely different level.

    With a casual wave of the hand...

    Spiritual power swept across the arena.

    All kinds of techniques blanketed nearly the entire hundred-meter-wide platform.

    The spectators were forced to retreat farther and farther away until they could only watch from the outskirts.

    Some newly admitted disciples with weaker cultivation were even blown off their feet by the residual shockwaves, tumbling down the hillside.


    ---

    Mysterious Wind Concealment Technique!

    A gray tornado roared across the arena, completely obscuring the opponent's vision.

    Naturally...

    The audience couldn't see anything either.

    Yet everyone still stared with wide-open eyes, afraid of missing even a single moment of the battle.


    ---

    Within the gray storm...

    A faint blue figure drifted left and right.

    With a flick of the wrist...

    A circular platform-like artifact appeared above the cultivator's head and began spinning rapidly.

    The howling winds were completely unable to approach it.


    ---

    Hissssss—

    Hidden within the tornado...

    Countless gray sword-shaped artifacts split into thousands of streaks of light.

    Wave after wave, they crashed against the barrier created by the circular platform.


    ---

    Four-Directional Barrier-Breaking Formation!

    The blue-robed cultivator waved a hand.

    Six artifacts shot outward, embedding themselves around the arena.

    After forming a hand seal...

    Blue beams connected the six artifacts, forming a perfect hexagon.

    Hummm—

    The gray tornado was instantly pushed outside the formation.

    The concealed gray figure was forced into view.

    A trace of surprise flashed across the opponent's face.

    They immediately recalled the gray sword artifact before summoning a lead-colored sphere about the size of a fist and smashing it forward.


    ---

    ...


    ---

    Standing beside Su Hao...

    Feng Cheng clenched both fists.

    The veins on his neck bulged.

    His face turned bright red with excitement.

    His mouth opened and closed repeatedly as though shouting,

    "Amazing!"

    "Beat him!"

    "Golden Core cultivators are actually this powerful!"

    "I want to become a Golden Core cultivator too!"

    "No..."

    "I want to become even stronger than a Golden Core cultivator!"


    ---

    Yet...

    Not a single sound came out.

    Normally, he would have been jumping around while yelling excitedly.

    But earlier...

    Senior Brother Feng Wei had simply glanced at him and said,

    "Stop making so much noise."

    So Feng Cheng obediently remained silent.

    Unable to contain his excitement...

    He came up with a brilliant solution.

    He would shout...

    Without making any sound.


    ---

    Su Hao truly couldn't understand it.

    When they first met a year ago...

    Huang Gui—now Feng Cheng—had seemed like such a refined young man.

    How had he become...this?


    ---

    Even Su Hao himself was astonished by the battle between the Golden Core cultivators.

    He had never imagined they could unleash such destructive power.

    And...

    This was with both sides deliberately holding back.


    ---

    "When I was at the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peak, I encountered plenty of Golden Core cultivators."

    "I never thought they were particularly powerful."

    "But now that I'm watching from the sidelines..."

    "I finally understand just how terrifying Golden Core cultivators truly are."


    ---

    In truth...

    Su Hao had indeed encountered many Golden Core cultivators before.

    But every encounter had followed the same pattern.

    He would activate the Opposing Space Barrier...

    Teleport behind his opponent...

    And stab them with his greatsword.

    Most attacks launched by Golden Core cultivators were simply redirected behind him by the barrier.

    They never even touched him.


    ---

    The only exception was when Yashan called for help.

    Even then...

    Su Hao merely stunned the enemy with Level Three – Lightning, then finished them off with a single strike.

    Strictly speaking...

    He had never fought a Golden Core cultivator head-on.

    There had never been an opportunity to exchange techniques properly.


    ---

    Before long...

    Feng Ling's master...

    Feng Hua...

    Stepped onto the arena.

    He won three consecutive matches.

    Eventually...

    He was trapped inside his opponent's illusion maze.

    A tiny flaw appeared in his defense.

    His opponent seized the opportunity and defeated him.


    ---

    His title of Wind Flying Star truly lived up to its reputation.

    Among all the Nascent Soul cultivators Su Hao had encountered...

    Feng Hua was undoubtedly the fastest.

    Even slower techniques and magical artifacts couldn't catch him.


    ---

    Besides his astonishing speed...

    He wielded a chain-type magical artifact.

    The chain could hide within other artifacts or techniques...

    Waiting until the perfect moment before striking unexpectedly.

    It was extraordinarily insidious.


    ---

    Su Hao glanced toward the gentle, smiling man nearby.

    Appearances really are deceptive...

    Who would've thought such a refined gentleman fought in such a devious way?


    ---

    He silently made a mental note.

    It's easy to dodge an open spear...

    But impossible to guard against a hidden arrow.

    Tonight...

    I'll redesign the Absolute Defense Formation.

    It needs an automatic sensing and activation mechanism.

    Otherwise...

    One day I might really fall victim to someone as courteous-looking as Senior Ancestor Feng Hua.


    ---

    After waiting for quite a while...

    Feng Ling finally turned toward Feng Yan.

    "Martial Uncle..."

    "It's almost over."

    "Why haven't you gone up yet?"


    ---

    Feng Yan snorted.

    "Hmph!"

    "I'm not going."

    "I can't win anyway."

    "So why should I let them earn another victory?"


    ---

    For a moment...

    Feng Ling was speechless.

    "...That actually makes sense."


    ---

    The Golden Core competition soon came to an end.

    The final victor was a beautiful female cultivator dressed in green.

    Feng Cai'er.


    ---

    She cultivated an exceptionally difficult technique—

    Wind Erosion Technique.

    After witnessing it...

    None of the remaining contestants dared challenge her.


    ---

    Feng Cai'er had truly embodied the saying...

    "Everything under Heaven is eroded by the wind."


    ---

    ...


    ---

    Once the Golden Core tournament ended...

    The atmosphere throughout the sect became even livelier.

    The entire Yunzhong Valley felt like one enormous family.


    ---

    But none of that concerned Su Hao.

    His only objective remained unchanged.

    Obtain the Senior Brother Token.

    Earn the accompanying five hundred merit points.

    Observe the combat styles of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.

    That was enough.


    ---

    Once he had learned everything the sect could teach him...

    No matter what unexpected situations arose in the future...

    He would be prepared.


    ---

    As Su Hao walked back toward Luanshi Peak...

    A Golden Core cultivator descended from the sky and landed before him with a gentle smile.

    "Junior Brother Feng Yizhi."

    "Please wait a moment."


    ---

    Su Hao recognized him immediately.

    Feng Wanliu.

    He had fought impressively during today's tournament.

    Despite his refined appearance...

    His combat style was overwhelmingly fierce and aggressive.

    Among all the competitors...

    He was one of the few Su Hao had intentionally remembered.


    ---

    Large gatherings like this truly had their advantages.

    In only three days...

    Everyone in the sect had at least become familiar with one another's faces.


    ---

    Still...

    Hearing the title Feng Yizhi once again made Su Hao sigh inwardly.

    That nickname had become even more famous than Feng Wei.


    ---

    He corrected him politely.

    "Martial Uncle Feng Wanliu."

    "What can I do for you?"

    "Oh, and my Daoist name is Feng Wei."


    ---

    Feng Wanliu laughed.

    "That's fine."

    "My Daoist name isn't Feng Wanliu either."

    "It's simply become a habit."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "So everyone enjoys using nicknames?"

    "If I'd extended two fingers yesterday..."

    "Would everyone be calling me Feng Erzhi instead?"


    ---

    Feng Wanliu chuckled.

    "Feng Yizhi sounds much more imposing than Feng Erzhi."

    "Junior Brother..."

    "Elder Feng wishes to see you."

    "Please come with me."


    ---

    Within the sect...

    Many disciples simply addressed Nascent Soul cultivators as Elders.

    It sounded more respectful than calling them Grandmaster or Martial Uncle.


    ---

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Only me?"


    ---

    Feng Wanliu shook his head.

    "Of course not."

    "Elder Feng wishes to meet the three representatives of the Feng Lineage who will compete for the Senior Brother Token."

    "Junior Brother Feng Changge."

    "Junior Sister Feng Cai'er."

    "And you."


    ---

    "I understand."

    "Then I'll trouble Martial Uncle Wanliu to lead the way."


    ---

    Feng Wanliu smiled.

    He extended a hand.

    "Give me your hand."


    ---

    Su Hao stretched out his wrist.

    Feng Wanliu grabbed it...

    Then carried him into the sky.


    ---

    Su Hao remained expressionless.

    ...


    ---

    Inside, however, he couldn't help complaining.

    I can fly too...

    But transforming into the diamond armor of the Lifebearer right now would be rather inappropriate.

    It might even frighten Martial Uncle Feng Wanliu.

    After all...

    One moment he was carrying a short-haired junior disciple...

    The next moment, that disciple suddenly transformed into a towering figure clad in majestic diamond armor and started carrying him instead.

    That would look incredibly bizarre.

    It would be like a little girl suddenly carrying her older sister to school.


    ---

    Once they were airborne...

    Feng Wanliu casually created a wind barrier around the two of them.

    Sheltered from the rushing wind...

    They sped toward another part of the sect.


    ---

    His flying speed was astonishing.

    Before long...

    They arrived at an isolated stone peak.

    Passing through an opening in the mountainside...

    They entered a spacious cave.


    ---

    Inside...

    Feng Cai'er and Feng Changge were already waiting.

    The moment Su Hao entered...

    Both immediately fixed their gazes upon this suddenly famous Feng Yizhi.

    Curiosity filled their eyes.


    ---

    More than anything else...

    They wanted to know...

    How Su Hao had managed to unleash such terrifying power from nothing more than an ordinary Wind Bullet while still in the Qi Induction Realm.

    So it's somewhat easy to guess but the "Er" in "Erzhi" is 二, which means "two". "Erzhi" is just "Two fingers".
