Chapter 1366: Chapter 895: The Gathering of Geniuses

Wu Tianyu’s gaze swept through the crowd on the square and quickly spotted Lin Feng at the edge.

He then lifted his steps and walked toward Lin Feng.

"Wu Chen, long time no see!" Upon reaching Lin Feng, Wu Tianyu gave a slight smile.

"Martial Emperor Realm Third Layer!" Lin Feng glanced at his opponent and his eyes immediately narrowed. His opponent’s cultivation had advanced so quickly!

"That’s right, now we are at the same realm. I hope this Junior Officer selection gives us a chance to battle!" Wu Tianyu nodded, his eyes showing a fierce battle desire.

Wu Chen invincible at the same rank in Black Brilliance City?

Wu Tianyu did not concur. In this Junior Officer selection, if he could battle Wu Chen, he would undoubtedly defeat Wu Chen honorably before everyone.

If there was no chance to battle, he would challenge Wu Chen after the selection ended.

"You will regret it then!" Lin Feng said expressionlessly. He was in no hurry to kill his rival; once he became the Junior Officer of the Witch Clan, he could crush his opponent at will.

"Regret?"

Wu Tianyu chuckled lightly, sneering: "Although I don’t know what chance you encountered to suddenly rise in a short time, you’re merely relying on strong Demon Techniques, which are not worth mentioning in my eyes!"

Wu Tianyu did not regard Wu Chen as a worthy adversary, as Wu Chen’s strength mainly came from the powerful Demon Techniques he cultivated.

As time progressed, the advantage of such techniques would gradually wane.

"You are likewise in my eyes!"

Lin Feng smirked disdainfully, saying indifferently: "You claim to be a genius, yet with the advantage of your realm, you couldn’t defeat even a native of Heavenly Vault World. I feel ashamed for you!"

"You’re courting death!" Wu Tianyu’s face fell upon hearing this statement, and his eyes shot forth killing intent.

Though the Heavenly Vault World incident earned Wu Tianyu clan accolades, it was also a massive humiliation for him.

Nearly a thousand geniuses were scattered by a native, and he barely escaped himself.

This incident had become a trauma for him, and now being mentioned by Wu Chen, he was immediately infuriated.

Wu Tianyu’s voice shook the entire Holy Witch Square, drawing many heads to look over.

The crowd showed interest as Wu Tianyu and Wu Chen had a conflict; both were top-tier talents on the Junior Officer candidate list. An early duel would be delightful indeed!

"What? Failure is failure, is it not allowed to be mentioned? " Lin Feng said mockingly, entirely fearless of his opponent.

Whoosh!

Wu Tianyu took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the killing intent in his heart. He did not take action, as now was clearly not the time.

"Wu Chen, we will have a battle, whether in this selection or not long after!" Wu Tianyu looked directly at Lin Feng, saying coldly.

He prepared to challenge Wu Chen once this selection was over.

Obviously, he never believed Wu Chen could succeed in the selection to become the honored Junior Officer of the clan.

Because even he himself had no assurance; there were simply too many talented clan members, and those stronger than him were not few.

"I’ll be waiting for you!" Lin Feng’s voice was indifferent, a glint of cold flashing across his eyes.

The prospect of a duel with his rival was excellent news; he would annihilate his opponent completely.

As the two spoke solemnly, the duel was almost agreed upon.

Afterward, Wu Tianyu said no more, turned around, and left.

As time passed slowly, more and more people gathered at the Holy Witch Square as numerous Witch Clan talents arrived.

A few super talents also gradually arrived at the Holy Witch Square, each arrival sparking a wave of discourse.

About an hour later, the sunrise was already high in the sky, and the crowd suddenly became uproarious.

"Wu Ma and Wu Youlan have arrived!"

"What a splendid couple, truly well-matched!"

"Wu Ma and Wu Youlan have been away from Tianming Holy City for two years and have just returned!"

"Both have significantly advanced their cultivation!"

Amidst the uproar, everyone’s heads turned toward the distance, seeing a man and a woman arriving together.

The man was clad in a purple robe with silver lining, tall in stature, with a stern countenance, exuding extraordinary bearing.

The woman was also an exceptional beauty, wearing a light pink long dress, graceful in figure, with a fair and delicate face seemingly as soft as blown cotton. Her eyes sparkled, lips smiled radiantly, giving a warm breeze sensation.

Lin Feng also scrutinized the pair because they were ranked second and third as super talents on the Junior Officer candidate list.

Both were at the Martial Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, their aura thick and deep, unfathomable.

Everyone, including Lin Feng, aspiring for the Junior Officer position, felt a slight heaviness upon seeing them.

These two were undeniably formidable opponents.

Lin Feng knew quite a bit about them, as they were indeed famous.

Wu Ma, with a Primordial Spirit Body, ranked 752nd on the Ancient Strange Body List, naturally attuned with all kinds of spiritual energy, could extract the purest energy for personal use, extremely powerful.

His Battle Soul was also notable, being a hand, known as Heavenly Hand, also listed as a Super Star on the Ancient Star List, ranked over 3,600th.

The woman, Wu Youlan, had talent comparable to Wu Ma, with a special physique ranked 778th on the Ancient Strange Body List, the Glazed Treasure Body.

This woman’s Battle Soul was a Golden Ring, named Heavenly Seeking Ring, which also appeared on the Ancient Star List, ranked over 2,000th, significantly higher than Wu Ma’s Heavenly Hand Battle Soul.

As Lin Feng meticulously searched through this pair’s information, his heart felt slightly heavy. Truly peerless talents, they were among the most gifted he had ever seen.

However, even if these two were formidable, he had faith, or perhaps confidence in his own Battle Soul.

"Brother Wu Ma, Sister Youlan!"

"Brother Wu Ma and Sister Youlan, where did you both go this time for training?"

"Congratulations on your cultivation progress!"

"..."

Before Wu Ma and Wu Youlan even reached the Holy Witch Square, many eagerly approached them, greeting both of them.

The pair nodded in response to each, then proceeded amidst the crowd’s escort to the square.

Wu Ma and Wu Youlan became the center of attention for all.

Yet, the two were only superficially replying to everyone’s comments, their gazes scanning the area as if searching for someone.

Time moved slowly, about another hour passed, and figures appeared in the sky.

There were more than a hundred figures, mostly middle-aged or elders, each with an imposing presence, extraordinarily strong.

Especially the two elders at the center, emitting brilliant holy light, extremely dazzling, their eyes overbearing the world, akin to heavenly gods, making direct gaze intimidating.

The group walked through the void, seemingly moving slowly, but within moments, they appeared above the square.

"Greetings to the High Priest, the Four Priests, and all core Elders!"

"Greetings to the High Priest, the Four Priests, and all core Elders!"

"Greetings to the High Priest, the Four Priests, and all core Elders!"

In an instant, the sound of salutations echoed throughout as the crowd in the square, be they young Witch Clan disciples or ordinary Elders, all clasped their hands in salute to those in the sky.

Lin Feng also slightly clenched his fists, saluting like the others.

Meanwhile, he also discreetly observed these individuals, the central two elders unmistakably the High Priest and Four Priests, powerful Martial Saints.

One elder was thin, his hair and beard slightly grayed, appearing like a hundred-year-old man.

According to Wu Chen’s memory, this man was the Witch Clan’s Four Priests.

The other elder, square-faced, imposing, tall, appeared much younger than the Four Priests, seemingly not yet in his sixties, more like a middle-aged man.

This was the lineage of Tianming Star’s Witch Clan, the one with the highest status and strongest power below the Clan Leader, the High Priest.

The High Priest, Four Priests, and the surrounding core Elders wore distinctive clothing, entirely different from ordinary Witch Clan members.

They all wore black wool caps, black and white mixed plain brocade, with large Witch Clan trident emblems on the chest.
