For many people, it was a sure thing that Xuan Yuan was going to become Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu's imperial cultivation disciple, but actually, he was applying in hopes of becoming the first imperial cultivation disciple of the Tian Qi layer. Xuan Yuan, by considering himself as an imperial cultivation disciple, was acting very confidently. Calling Mu Chen a fellow disciple was disrespectful.
Mu Chen didn't appreciate it and contradicted him immediately.
Xuan Yuan smiled coldly inside. Mu Chen looked at Hou Qing Lin and said, "Brother, since they can't take the heart, you can take it. It would, indeed, be a great gift for the teachers, especially after all the efforts they're making to organize the recruitment process. Even if they don't like it, they'll be happy because it comes from you."
"Alright." said Hou Qing Lin nodding. He jumped to the heart.
That heart contained an incredible strength. Mu Chen followed Hou Qing Lin. They weren't ordinary cultivators, they were Emperor Yu and Emperor's Shi own disciples. They had a very high social status and were very gifted. Even the leaders of the biggest sects and clans respected them.
Even without talking about their social status, they were very strong indeed. If they wanted to take the heart, nobody could compete with them here.
They released Qi which slowly moved towards the heart. Hou Qing Lin looked calm as if the heart's energies didn't affect him.
"We found that heart first, do you think you can simply take it?" said Xuan Yuan to Hou Qing Lin. The others had the same thought, but weren't actually going say anything. Nobody talked, but Xuan Yuan.
Hou Qing Lin glanced at Xuan Yuan indifferently and said, "I never said you couldn't take it. Come and take it from me if you have balls to back up that mouth of yours."
Hou Qing Lin sounded very calm. Xuan Yuan pulled a long face. Usually, people never talked to him that way, he was the one who talked to others like that.
Did he have the balls?
Hou Qing Lin sounded calm, detached and indifferent. If Xuan Yuan dared attack, what would Hou Qing Lin do? Nobody wanted to imagine the scene.
In terms of strength, Xuan Yuan was infinitely weaker than Hou Qing Lin. In terms of social status, Hou Qing Lin was a real and genuine imperial disciple, Xuan Yuan just had imperial blood.
Everybody remained quiet, the atmosphere became very calm. Xuan Yuan always relied on his social status and strength to humiliate others, but now he couldn't do much.
"Awesome!" thought Lin Feng, standing on the ruins. He had a huge smile. Hou Qing Lin was truly amazing. He had helped him in the past and now he was humiliating someone he didn't like, how perfect was that?
In the dragon palace, Xuan Yuan had humiliated Lin Feng. Now, his karma was playing him, Hou Qing Lin had arrived.
"What is awesome? It would be awesome if you were Hou Qing Lin. Xuan Yuan despises you and even humiliated you. I hope someday you can act like Qing Lin." said Qing Lin indifferently making Lin Feng come back to his senses.
His heart was filled with ardor and hope. Qiong Qi was right though, Lin Feng had to become stronger and someday he'd be able to shame arrogant people the same way Hou Qing Lin just did.
"I told you last time, that guy is a real genius. Xuan Yuan has imperial blood, but nothing more." said Qiong Qi. He looked over at Lin Feng and continued, "Little boy, when will you become strong and act like them? Too bad that you're not that strong yet. Telling you these things is useless it seems."
"Eh…" Lin Feng smiled wryly. Indeed, what a pity!
Lin Feng raised his head, his blood was filled with ardor, hope, determination.
"Someday, you will see. I will be stronger than them. I will despise people who have despised me, who have humiliated me. I will become incredibly strong." whispered Lin Feng. His blood was flowing with incredible strength now, especially since he had swallowed the dragon blood. Nobody knew what had just happened to him and nobody could know how he felt.
The dragon blood had become his own power.
Qiong Qi smiled and said, "I hope I won't have to wait too long to witness that change."
At that moment, Hou Qing Lin jumped to the heart and grabbed it. A strength appeared and enveloped the heart.
"Boom!" the heart shone brightly, dragon roars invaded the atmosphere.
In a flash, lights with reincarnation energy appeared and enveloped the heart.
"Reincarnation strength." the crowd was amazed. Hou Qing Lin didn't need to use his sword, he could easily use reincarnation energies to take the heart.
"Bzzz!" The atmosphere was filled with reincarnation energies right now.
He jumped up and opened his hand, there were reincarnation energies radiating from his palm and the heart was sitting there. It looked like an ordinary crystal. It was difficult to imagine that just before, so many strong cultivators had tried to take the heart and died trying. There was a huge difference between them and Hou Qing Lin.
"How strong!" thought Lin Feng gasping with amazement. It was the second time that he saw Hou Qing Lin, and just like the first time, it was amazing.
"I told you he's a genius. To him, a dragon heart is nothing exceptional. He will definitely become an emperor, maybe even a great emperor. After you become an imperial cultivation disciple, you'll be Mu Chen and Hou Qing Lin's fellow disciple. Be friends with them and learn from them." said Qiong Qi.
Lin Feng nodded. Mu Chen and Hou Qing Lin seemed very strong, but also reasonable. Lin Feng would probably become their fellow disciple soon.
At that moment, Hou Qing Lin lowered his head and looked at Xuan Yuan, "You're weak, you might be talented, but nobody really cares about you."
