"Too late for you, but not for him. As long as he is willing, the Snow Moon Holy Academy will focus on cultivating him."
Duan Tianlang looked at Nan Gong Ling and said, Lin Feng's talent he had seen with his own eyes. Even among the outstanding disciples of the Bright Moon Sect, Cloud Sea Sect, and other sects, Lin Feng was considered exceptional. Even if he entered the Snow Moon Holy Academy, he would still be considered outstanding, worthy of significant attention.
Of course, there was also Wen Renyan. Although he was defeated by Lin Feng, his talent and strength were undeniable. All his abilities were nearly perfect, with almost no weaknesses. If it weren't for Lin Feng's overwhelming and astonishing performance today, Wen Renyan would undoubtedly be the most dazzling figure in the Cloud Sea Sect.
"Indeed, Lin Feng's talent is unparalleled. Even if his sect is destroyed, he will be fine. Even Duan Tianlang holds him in high regard."
"Lin Feng, his future is boundless."
Many people sighed in their hearts. Outstanding talent is different; wherever he goes, he will be valued.
Moreover, just like Lin Feng had questioned the sect leader, he had never been respected in the Cloud Sea Sect, only humiliated and plotted against. He had no reason to be buried with the Cloud Sea Sect.
"You two, as long as you nod, the doors of the Snow Moon Holy Academy will be open to you, and we will provide treatment far better than the Cloud Sea Sect."
Duan Tianlang looked at Lin Feng and Wen Renyan, starting to recruit them.
"Snow Moon Holy Academy again."
Lin Feng thought to himself. Liu Fei had already tried to recruit him several times to join the Snow Moon Holy Academy, but he had not agreed. He didn't expect that in such a short time, someone else would try to recruit him again, but the situation was now completely different. The significance of the two recruitments was vastly different.
Wen Renyan's eyes flickered, glancing at the old woman beside him, and coldly looked at Duan Tianlang.
"Hmph, I, Wen Renyan, have been taught by my master and received the sect's favor. How can I be a traitor?"
The old woman's face showed a hint of relief. She had put aside her dignity to save Wen Renyan from Lin Feng's sword, and it was not in vain.
"Wen Renyan has indeed received much favor from the sect. It is reasonable for him to stay, but it is a pity for such a genius."
"Although Wen Renyan was defeated by Lin Feng, he is still a man of integrity."
Many people thought, seeing Wen Renyan angrily staring at Duan Tianlang.
"Our Cloud Sea Sect, with a thousand years of foundation, is now about to be destroyed. Truly tragic, I, Wen Renyan..."
At this, Wen Renyan's martial soul was released, the blue bamboo beast martial soul reappeared.
His body trembled, and Wen Renyan moved with incredible speed, charging toward Duan Tianlang. At the same time, a voice echoed.
"I, Wen Renyan, will definitely revive the sect in the future."
As he spoke, Wen Renyan's body had already reached Duan Tianlang's side, his gaze extremely cold.
"..."
The crowd's eyes were all fixed on this scene, stunned. Then, angry glares fell on Wen Renyan.
"Truly shameless."
"How disgraceful, a genius cultivated by the sect turns out to be like this, utterly shameless."
Many people couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Haha..." Duan Tianlang was also stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. "A wise man adapts to the times. Wen Renyan, rest assured, your future achievements will far surpass what they are today."
"Scoundrel."
The old woman was so angry that her whole body trembled, a cold aura emanating from her. She moved, charging at Wen Renyan.
But at that moment, the old man beside Duan Tianlang suddenly moved. The giant sword on his back suddenly emitted a brilliant light, slashing toward the old woman.
The rumbling sound made the life and death platform tremble. The old woman retreated to her original position, her attempt unsuccessful.
"Master, rest assured, I will surpass you in the future and will not tarnish your reputation."
Wen Renyan looked at the old woman, speaking confidently, making her almost spit blood. She had spent years cultivating him, only to teach such a monster.
"Don't worry, you will have your chance."
Duan Tianlang glanced at the old woman, then said to Lin Feng, "What about you? Even Wen Renyan has betrayed the sect. The Cloud Sea Sect has never shown you any favor. Do you need to consider it?"
Lin Feng looked at Duan Tianlang, his eyes still calm, as if nothing could stir his heart.
Everyone's eyes were on Lin Feng, waiting for his answer.
"Lin Feng, he is right. The Cloud Sea Sect has never shown you any favor. Go, I won't blame you, and the people of the Cloud Sea Sect won't stop you."
Nan Gong Ling said from the viewing stand. Wen Renyan's betrayal was unforgivable, as he had been raised and protected by the sect and was a disciple of the old woman. But Lin Feng was different; he owed nothing to the Cloud Sea Sect. Although Nan Gong Ling did not want Lin Feng to betray, he had no reason to stop him.
Even if Lin Feng agreed to Duan Tianlang, Nan Gong Ling would at most feel sad, but he would not blame Lin Feng.
"You have seen it with your own eyes, I and he are like water and fire. Now, you take him in and try to recruit me. Do you think I will agree?" Lin Feng's cold voice made Wen Renyan's eyes narrow. If asked who he hated the most now, it was undoubtedly Lin Feng.
"The world has no eternal enemies. Besides, even if you truly hate him, I will let you both join the Snow Moon Holy Academy, giving you a fair environment. Whoever performs better will be favored. In a few years, I will not interfere in your grudges. Whether you kill him or he kills you will be decided by your strength."
"No!" Lin Feng shook his head. "It's either him or me, either me or him."
Lin Feng's tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt, making Duan Tianlang frown.
"Then what do you want?"
"Kill him, and I will agree to you, now."
Lin Feng's tone was extremely cold, making Wen Renyan's expression icy. Bastard...
"Is there no other choice?" Duan Tianlang asked.
"No, this is my bottom line." Lin Feng said.
Duan Tianlang pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering. After a while, he said, "I agree, but you must first agree to join us and come to my side. I will immediately fulfill your condition."
"Boom!" Wen Renyan's body turned cold, trembling. As long as Lin Feng nodded, Duan Tianlang would kill him?
It was a waste. He betrayed the sect, was despised by others, and ended up like this. How laughable.
The crowd was also shocked. Indeed, Duan Tianlang's regard for Lin Feng far exceeded that for Wen Renyan. He was willing to kill Wen Renyan to recruit Lin Feng.
It seemed Wen Renyan was destined to die.
"No, you kill him first." But Lin Feng shook his head, still insisting.
"What if I kill him and you back out?" Duan Tianlang also shook his head. "Then wouldn't I, Duan Tianlang, become a tool in your hands, used by you?"
Hearing Duan Tianlang's words, Lin Feng suddenly smiled. "You are very smart, too ruthless and meticulous. I have never liked such people."
"So, you are refusing me?"
"Yes."
Lin Feng nodded lightly, making everyone's eyes freeze again.
Lin Feng had no intention of joining the Snow Moon Holy Academy. He was just playing with the other side, trying to use Duan Tianlang to kill the traitor, Wen Renyan.
A strange feeling arose in the hearts of the crowd, very confused.
"Wen Renyan, have you seen it? You are just a waste, a waste that can be discarded at will. Even if you don't die, you are destined to live in my shadow."
Lin Feng's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking deep into Wen Renyan's heart, shattering his pride.
Indeed, as long as Lin Feng nodded, he would be discarded, how tragic.
"Enough." Duan Tianlang's face turned slightly cold, staring at Lin Feng. "I admire your courage, but can you give me a reason for refusing me?"
In Duan Tianlang's view, the Cloud Sea Sect had never favored Lin Feng, and he was willing to kill Wen Renyan for Lin Feng. Lin Feng had no reason to refuse him.
"Although the Cloud Sea Sect has not shown me much favor, at least in the Cloud Sea Sect, Elder Bei has shown me favor and recognized my talent. He gave me a drop of water, and I will repay him with a vast ocean. Besides, in the Cloud Sea Sect, I have friends and brothers. How can I become their enemy to save my life?"
Lin Feng's voice was still calm, light and easy: "I, Lin Feng, do not seek grandeur, but at least I adhere to my principles and have my own bottom line."
His voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly.
"Elder Bei gave me a drop of water, and I will repay him with a vast ocean."
"How can I become an enemy of my friends and brothers to save my life?"
Simple and plain words, but they struck the hearts of the crowd like the sound of a bell, the shock lasting long.
These words seemed so simple, but who could truly live up to them besides Lin Feng?
The old eyes of Elder Bei, which had not shown any emotion for years, now had a hint of redness. This was the person he valued.
Elder Bei felt that there were only two things he was most proud of in his life: one was taking Liu Canglan as a disciple, and the other was meeting Lin Feng.
This simple sentence from the young man deeply touched his heart.
"Elder Bei, you didn't see wrong. It was I, Nan Gong Ling, who was blind, only now realizing the talent in the sect."
Nan Gong Ling's eyes showed a hint of self-mockery.
The old woman also looked at Elder Bei, saying lightly, "Your judgment is much better than mine. Remember our agreement."
"Rest assured." Elder Bei nodded heavily, leaving others puzzled, not understanding what the second mention of their agreement meant.
At this moment, only Duan Tianlang's face was very ugly.
