Chapter 97 Core Disciple Assessment
"They actually sent a Spirit God Warrior directly, they really think highly of me." Ye Feng thought to himself, but his fighting spirit was not affected in the slightest by the strength of his opponent.

"A strike of divine wrath."

Ye Feng unceremoniously used his strongest moves. He knew that he had no chance of winning against a Spirit God Warrior in a one-on-one fight. He could only engage in a few rounds of combat with the opponent and take the opportunity to let Bei Linhan break free of her restraints and summon the Ghost Fang to help in the battle. Only in this way could he have a chance of winning.

This sword energy attack is Ye Feng's strongest move so far. As Ye Feng unleashed this sword energy, the ear-piercing sound of the sword energy cutting through the air, accompanied by a fierce hurricane whipped up by the sword energy, attacked the middle-aged man.

"Hmph." The middle-aged man stood still, his expression relaxed and at ease, showing no intention of dodging or even drawing his sword.

The middle-aged man simply raised his hand, and a transparent barrier appeared in front of him. Ye Feng's sword energy slammed heavily onto the barrier.

Ye Feng felt that the once incomparably sharp sword energy was now like striking the ocean, unable to exert its former power at all. Only then did Ye Feng truly understand the strength of a martial artist at the Spirit God Realm.

The middle-aged man's barrier enveloped Ye Feng, who had originally intended to manipulate his sword energy to explode. However, he was surprised to find that the connection between him and the sword energy had been severed.

"Was it absorbed, or what?" Ye Feng saw his sword energy and the barrier created by the middle-aged man vanish into thin air, as if his strongest attack had never happened.

The two sides had only exchanged one move when Ye Feng felt unprecedented pressure. He had used his strongest power, but it had been neutralized so easily by his opponent. How could he possibly fight back?

Ye Feng was unaware that the middle-aged man was also secretly alarmed. This barrier defense was the middle-aged man's signature technique. When he used this defense, he could easily neutralize attacks from even a martial artist at the initial Spirit God realm.

Then he neutralized Ye Feng's sword energy, but it wasn't as easy as he appeared on the surface. The sword energy was extremely destructive, and he had to expend a lot of soul power to finally suppress it.

"This kid's strength is indeed extraordinary; no wonder the family values ​​him so much," the middle-aged man thought to himself.

"Hmph, I don't believe you're completely unaffected. Let's see how many of my sword strikes you can withstand." Failing with his first strike, Ye Feng prepared to swing his sword again. With Bei Linhan still in his opponent's hands, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't give up so easily.

"Ye Feng, wait a minute, he's not a bad guy, he's here to protect me." Ye Feng acted too quickly just now, and Bei Linhan didn't have time to stop him. Now, Bei Linhan below quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Ye Feng then carefully sensed Bei Linhan's condition and confirmed that Bei Linhan was not restrained. It seemed that the middle-aged man had not done anything to Bei Linhan, but why was he protecting her? Ye Feng wondered to himself.

"What exactly happened?" Ye Feng asked as he landed beside Bei Linhan, while still remaining wary of the middle-aged man in front of him. He activated the Righteous Holy Shield, ready to defend himself at any time. This man was too powerful; Ye Feng wouldn't stand a chance against him in a head-on fight. If the man were to launch a sneak attack, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to react.

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Feng politely and said, "You must be Ye Feng. Your strength is indeed impressive. I am here on behalf of the Lin family to protect Miss Bei Linhan's safety."

The middle-aged man deliberately pointed out the Lin family, which was obviously a gesture of goodwill. The Lin family was the family of Lin Dong, who lived with Ye Feng, and had once invited Ye Feng to join the Lin family. Ye Feng naturally knew this, and after hearing this, Ye Feng roughly understood the truth of the matter.

To be fair, Ye Feng's relationship with Lin Dong was quite good. He didn't believe the Lin family would send someone to harm Bei Lin Han, but sending someone to protect her was more plausible. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could easily find out that Bei Lin Han's relationship with him was unusual.

"What exactly happened here, senior? Has someone come to cause trouble?" Ye Feng asked.

“There were some guys who came to the door, seemingly intending to harm Miss Bellinghan, but I have already sent them away,” the middle-aged man said.

Belinhan beside Ye Feng also gave an affirmative answer. It seems that this is how things are. Because of the middle-aged man's timely appearance, Belinhan did not have to use Ghost Fang.

"Does Senior know who those who launched the sneak attack were?" Ye Feng asked. He needed to know who dared to attack Bei Linhan. In fact, Ye Feng already had the answer in his heart.

"They seem to be from the Yan family, but I advise you not to make enemies with them for now. The Yan family is powerful, and it would be unwise to provoke them before you become strong enough," the middle-aged man advised, seeing through Ye Feng's thoughts.

"As expected of the Yan family. Yan Feng, how dare you do this! I'll remember you." Ye Feng thought to himself. Only a powerful family like the Yan family could justify this. Why didn't the middle-aged man stop these scoundrels who came to ambush them? Clearly, he didn't want the Lin family to completely break with the Yan family, as that would not benefit the Lin family at all. "I understand, senior. I still have to thank you for your help." Although the middle-aged man in front of him was unwilling to completely break with the Yan family, he had still helped him, so Ye Feng naturally had to thank him politely.

"It was nothing more than a small favor," the middle-aged man said casually.

"Elder, what happened?" Lin Dong rushed over at this moment. Lin Dong was indeed meticulous. After failing to win over Ye Feng, he quickly investigated and found out that Ye Feng and Bei Linhan had an unusual relationship. Lin Dong decisively reported it to the family, and the family agreed to send an elder to protect him. It can be seen that the Lin family attaches great importance to Ye Feng.

"Senior Brother Lin Dong, I must thank you and the Lin family this time." Ye Feng thanked Lin Dong as he approached, and at the same time, he made a mental note of this guy who lived with him.

"Brother Ye Feng, you're too kind. It's nothing, don't take it to heart." Lin Dong said generously and nonchalantly, but he was secretly overjoyed. If he could win over Ye Feng, it would be a great achievement for his family.

“However, after this incident, I don’t think Belle Han is suitable to stay here. How about she stays at my Lin family’s place? I’m sure no one would dare to cause trouble here,” Lin Dong continued.

"Well, then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Lin Dong." Ye Feng thought it made sense. After this incident, no one could guarantee that the Yan family wouldn't launch another sneak attack. He needed to continue cultivating within the Yanluo Sect and couldn't possibly take care of Bei Linhan at all times.

So Lin Dong arranged for the family elders to take Bei Linhan to the Lin family. With the Lin family's protection, Ye Feng felt relieved. Before leaving, the elder gave Ye Feng a sound transmission stone. These sound transmission stones are sold in pairs, and only two stones can transmit sound to each other. Ye Feng held one stone, and Bei Linhan held the other, so that Ye Feng could know Bei Linhan's situation immediately.

Not long after Ye Feng left, he returned to Yanluo Sect with Lin Dong. The gatekeeper was still there. Lin Dong had made a record when he left, and this time he naturally had to erase the record.

The gatekeeper looked at Ye Feng, wanting to say something, but thinking of how terrifying Ye Feng looked when he left, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything.

"Anyway, his affairs are handled by the elders, I'm not going to get involved," the gatekeeper disciple thought to himself.

Upon returning to his residence, Ye Feng saw Elder Zuo already waiting in front of his house from afar. Ye Feng was not surprised, assuming that the gatekeeper had seen him return and immediately notified the elder.

Upon seeing the elder's appearance, Lin Dong wisely left. He had already achieved his goal of currying favor with Ye Feng, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Ye Feng, are you prepared for this attempt to force your way into the Yanluo Sect?" Elder Zuo said calmly.

"Disciple is prepared. You tell me how to punish the elder." Ye Feng had already considered the consequences before he broke out, but at that time he didn't care about so much. Now that he had done it, Ye Feng had no regrets.

"In that case, all your resources within the sect will be deducted for the next three months. You have no objections, do you?" Elder Zuo said.

"This disciple has no objection," Ye Feng replied. More than that, Ye Feng was surprised by the lenient punishment. He had heard that in the past, when disciples did such things, the Yanluo Sect's punishment was extremely severe, as this was a blatant disrespect for the sect's authority and something that had to be dealt with severely.

"It seems my reputation as a genius is still somewhat useful," Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Then let that matter rest. I came to see you early today for another reason." Elder Zuo Song smiled and looked at Ye Feng. "You ranked ninth on the leaderboard in this assessment, and your application for core disciple status has been approved. Next, you just need to pass the assessment to officially become a core disciple."

"It's here," Ye Feng thought to himself. He knew that as long as he reached the top 100 on the leaderboard, he would qualify to participate in the core disciple assessment. There had been no news for the past few days, and Ye Feng thought something had gone wrong. Now, the notification for the core disciple assessment has finally arrived.

If Ye Feng wants to obtain the Spirit Restoration Purple Pill, he must first become a core disciple. Otherwise, Ye Feng will have no chance of getting it. Even if he becomes a core disciple and only gets the pill's formula, Ye Feng can still refine it himself by buying materials. However, if he doesn't become a core disciple and doesn't know anything, then no amount of money will help him.

"These are the assessment criteria and some reward rules for you. Take a look." Zuo Song didn't say much, leaving behind a jade slip containing the assessment details before drifting away.
