Instead he decided to leave the gorge and was once again standing at the top of the cliff looking down upon the gorge.
Looking down into the gorge he could see it was a boundless canyon as far as the eye could see. There were thousands of people inside training. It was a place filled with endless battles and cultivation. That was the Yun Hai sect’s culture which bred the strongest cultivators. Here you would be beaten to within an inch of life and forced to climb back to the sect with your broken body. Only the strong will thrive here and the weak will be the fertilizer for the strong to grow.
Lin Feng walked around the canyon outside the Stormy Gorge and to his surprise came across some of his friends. He was happy to see Han Man and Jing Yun again so quickly.
“Lin Feng” shouted Jing Yun. She couldn’t hold in her excitement meeting Lin Feng again.
“Jing Yun, how is it possible that you are even more beautiful than the last time I saw you” said Lin Feng complimenting her while smiling sheepishly.
In comparison with a few days before, Jing Yun really had become even more beautiful and pure. Lin Feng knew it was because of the beauty pills, but he never would have thought it would have such a great effect.
Jing Yun blushed when she heard Lin Feng and couldn’t help but look away. She said in a soft voice: “Why are you bringing that up?”
“Haha, Lin Feng you have to be less bold, Jing Yun is still very shy.” said Han Man straightforward as always. “Lin Feng, we were initially getting prepared to come and look for you and never thought we would bump into you so soon”.
“Come look for me? why? what’s going on?” asked Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng, did you reach the eighth Qi layer when you ate your share of Profound Pills?” Han Man was looking forward to seeing Lin Feng as he had killed a Hell Wolf when he was still at the seventh Qi layer, he was surely going to be even more shockingly powerful after having reached the eighth Qi Layer.
“Yes, I had a breakthrough recently. How about you guys?” said Lin Feng while smiling.
“If an ignorant fool like me could reach the eighth Qi Layer so quickly, obviously a monstrous talent like you would have.” said Han Man while grinning: “Jing Yun hasn’t reached it yet as she needs some more time before she can advance to the next level. Qing Yi hasn’t come out yet either but he should be at the bottleneck for advancement.”
Lin Feng nodded. Even though Han Man had a carefree behavior, he cultivated a little bit more efficiently than Jing Yun and Qing Yi so it was normal for him to be the first one to reach the eighth Qi layer.
“Han Man, you still haven’t told me why you were looking for me.”
Han Man scratched his head and felt slightly embarrassed which left Lin Feng speechless.
“Lin Feng, I have also reached the eighth Qi layer. I want to go to the Stormy Gorge and test my strength but I may get massacred by cruel Cultivators. I wanted to ask you to accompany me and only if we encounter a strong and merciless disciple will you need to get involved. I am a guy who can endure a beating or two.”
Han Man was grinning while asking Lin Feng for his help. Lin Feng directly understood what Han Man meant and would only need to get involved if a life was on the line. He of course wouldn’t refuse the request of such a good friend.
“When do you want to go?
“Tomorrow we can head out. I want to prepare some masks first.” Han Man saw that Lin Feng didn’t hesitate at all when he gave his answer. He felt even more admiration for Lin Feng as he was a true friend. Not only was this guy abnormally strong but he also had no arrogance at all. He didn’t argue about anything and always kept things fair between them. He was the one who had killed almost all the ferocious beasts back in the Black Wind Mountain, yet he had insisted to share the items equally with everyone involved.
“No problem. Just give me a shout when you’re ready to go” said Lin Feng straightforwardly.
