He had thought that he was amazingly strong; that Lin Feng was the same as an insect before him. But at that moment, Lin Feng was dominating the entire situation and talking to him as if he didn’t even matter anymore.
Besides, if Du Bi didn’t leave, it would mean that even though he had lost his last arm, he still wanted to fight.
He turned around, stepped on an extremely weak blade made from pure Qi and left. His silhouette vanished into the sky, which made many people look disappointed. On the vast public square, various comments were spreading through the crowd.
After that battle, the news would spread very quickly, and everybody would quickly know that Lin Feng had cut off Du Bi’s arm.
People were even trying to figure out what the new ranking list could look like. Everybody agreed on the fact that Qiong Bi Luo was the top ranked in the academy.
Lin Feng was a bit weaker than Qiong Bi Luo, so the crowd thought that he would be ranked second.
Wen Ao Xue’s ranking, as before, wouldn’t change; he was still the third best in the academy.
The crowd had been completely dumbstruck by Lin Feng’s performance, but they still considered Qiong Bi Luo as stronger than Lin Feng because he had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer. His cultivation level was higher than that of Lin Feng. Besides, his Blue Void spirit was monstrously powerful. Nobody was able to escape his Blue Void Underworld. If he wanted to kill Du Bi, he could have done it very easily. Because of all of this, people estimated that it would be extremely difficult for Lin Feng to defeat Qiong Bi Luo, who was monstrously strong.
But the crowd also admittedly thought that even though Qiong Bi Luo was the best in the academy at the moment, that would probably change in the future. After all, Lin Feng was younger than him by a few years. Lin Feng had huge potential. When Qiong Bi Luo was at the same age as Lin Feng, he wasn’t nearly as strong as Lin Feng.
Qiong Bi Luo was monstrously powerful and best in the academy.
Lin Feng had extremely high natural abilities and had the greatest future potential.
However, potential couldn’t be used to determine a cultivator’s strength. For example, after Qiong Bi Luo had broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, he had immediately challenged Du Bi and easily defeated him. He had thus become the best in the academy. It seemed like Qiong Bi Luo had become an entirely different person after breaking through. Even though Lin Feng had high potential, would he follow the same path as Qiong Bi Luo in the future? Nobody could predict the future.
“If Qiong Bi Luo could fight against Lin Feng, that would be the best,” thought the people of the academy. They were thinking that in the past, when Lin Feng had come out right after Qiong Bi Luo had left, it was a pity. If the two of them had fought, wouldn’t it have been an inspiring battle?
Qiong Bi Luo knew nothing of the comments, which were spreading in the crowd. After defeating Du Bi and becoming the top ranked disciple in the academy, he had confined himself for a few days to strengthen and consolidate the power gained from breaking into the Xuan Qi layer. At that moment, he had just come out and was walking through the public square. He heard peoples’ comments and whispers and learned that Lin Feng had also defeated Du Bi and that he, on top of that, had cut off Du Bi’s last arm, making him unable to wield a blade.
At that moment, everybody was comparing Qiong Bi Luo with Lin Feng.
Qiong Bi Luo was walking unnoticed through the crowd, which showed the power difference between him and them. He then took off his bamboo hat, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
“Lin Feng is amusing. He is just a weak cultivator of the Ling Qi layer. Could he really overturn the heavens!” said Qiong Bi Luo mockingly. He then smiled coldly and said: “Du Bi is really worthless, he cannot even compete with a cultivator at the Ling Qi layer. If I had known that, I would have crippled his cultivation to help avoid him making a fool of himself again.”
When people around him heard his words, they turned around and looked at him. They couldn’t help but be astonished.
Qiong Bi Luo. Surprisingly, it was Qiong Bi Luo!
Some people were gasping with astonishment. Immediately, more and more people started turning around and looking at him. Qiong Bi Luo was really there!
