There was no conflict between himself and Guardian Liu, so Ye Feng had no reason to actively provoke Guardian Liu.

Seeing Ye Feng stop his actions, Wang Cong looked smug: "Idiot, if you dare to kill me, you won’t survive either, you know? Do you really think you’re that awesome? You think you’re the dean of the Daoist School?"

Ye Feng looked disdainful, his eyes filled with contempt, and he shouted loudly: "You just said you wanted to cripple my cultivation. If that’s the case, then I’ll cripple yours!" As soon as the words fell, Wang Cong’s face turned ugly.

Guardian Liu did not speak further, evidently approving of Ye Feng’s actions, as it’s understood that within the Daoist School, disciples can engage in private battles to foster healthy competition, as long as it doesn’t lead to fatalities.

As for crippling someone’s cultivation, although not permitted, it isn’t enforced as strictly as stopping a fatal issue.

Because in the Spirit Martial Continent, there are many ways to recover, even if one’s cultivation is crippled, they can train again.

"Ye Feng, if you dare to cripple my cultivation, my master will never let you off!" Wang Cong shouted loudly in despair.

"Bang!" Before Wang Cong’s words had barely fallen, Ye Feng stomped heavily on Wang Cong’s stomach.

"Wow!" Wang Cong spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly his Qi Sea shattered completely, his whole being deflated like a punctured balloon, his cultivation rapidly receding, and within moments, Wang Cong’s cultivation had regressed to the Divine Realm.

Then from the Divine Realm regressed to the Legendary, then Legendary regressed to Innate, finally stopping at Inner Strength, and didn’t regress further. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"My! My cultivation!" Wang Cong shouted desperately and loudly, spitting out another mouthful of blood and fainting directly.

One must know, Wang Cong at this moment had no Qi Sea, no True Essence, and to train anew to True God Great Perfection would take decades, and for him to break through to the Dao Realm, time would be delayed by decades.

Everyone knows, the younger one breaks through to the Entering Dao Realm, the more hope there is to break through to the Asking Realm above Entering Dao.

It’s best before reaching a hundred years old, but now for Wang Cong to break through to the Entering Dao Realm before a hundred years old is impossible.

"Someone come and take Wang Cong for treatment..." At this moment, Guardian Liu’s voice resonated once again.

In no time, several disciples in the True God Realm arrived here and carried Wang Cong away.

Within just half a day, the news that Ye Feng had crippled Wang Cong’s cultivation in the Punishment Hall spread out.

Instantly, Ye Feng’s reputation soared in the outer court of the Daoist School, everyone was discussing Ye Feng, as Ye Feng defeated Wang Cong, Ye Feng’s ranking directly rose to Wang Cong’s position, becoming the 31st ranked disciple in the outer court.

In the evening, disciples in the Punishment Hall respectfully looked at Ye Feng, greeting Ye Feng.

Previously, Wang Cong was the leader of the Punishment Hall, but now, Ye Feng defeated Wang Cong, and Ye Feng became the leader of the Punishment Hall.

Zhang Meng somehow found a lot of Spiritual Wine and drank and chatted with Ye Feng, admiration showing in Zhang Meng’s eyes: "Ye Feng, you are really amazing, you’ve been here at the Daoist School for only one day and became the 31st ranked disciple. I think with your current strength, there’s no problem at all becoming the 11th ranked disciple.

Once you reach the Heavenly Illusion True God Realm, then you can challenge the disciples ranked in the top ten!"

"Oh?" Ye Feng looked at Zhang Meng curiously: "You think my current strength is unable to enter the top ten?"

Zhang Meng said helplessly: "Ye Feng, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, it’s because all the disciples ranked in the top ten of the outer court are incredibly strong, each one is in the Infinite True God Realm and is a genius of the Dao Sect, with superior combat strength.

This means their combat power is comparable to a martial artist at the initial stage of Entering Dao Realm; although you are a Daoist Lord, your cultivation is still slightly lacking, but once you reach the Heavenly Illusion True God Realm, you can certainly suppress the top ten, even the top three!"

"Hmm!" Ye Feng nodded, not caring much, because with his current strength, Ye Feng could easily defeat strong individuals at the initial stage of the Entering Dao Realm. If he tapped into the power of his Destruction Dao Body, he could even easily defeat mid-stage Entering Dao experts.

If he unleashed the power of the Destruction Dao Body and then used the Heaven Slaying Sword and Heavenly Mirror, his strength could further increase!

Even Ye Feng himself didn’t know where his limits lay at this moment, yet Ye Feng wouldn’t lightly attempt it.

Because if Ye Feng unleashed his ultimate combat power, his Destruction Dao Body, along with the Heaven Slaying Sword and Heavenly Mirror, would be exposed.

If exposed, Ye Feng would attract many troubles, and even though Ye Feng was not afraid, he didn’t wish to expose them prematurely.

At this moment, Zhang Meng said: "Ye Feng, if you enter the top ten of the outer court, I hope you can let me train in your Spirit Gathering Array! If you are willing, I, Zhang Meng, would gladly become your follower; whatever you do, I will help without any hesitation!" Expectation shone in Zhang Meng’s eyes.

Ye Feng asked puzzledly: "What Spirit Gathering Array?" At this time Zhang Meng remembered Ye Feng was in the Daoist School for the first day.

Zhang Meng explained: "Ye Feng, the rankings of disciples in the outer court, inner court, is not just simple fame, there are rewards, the higher the ranking of disciples, the different the cultivation resources they receive each month, and near the Life and Death Platform on our Daoist School square, aren’t there ten Spirit Gathering Arrays? Those ten Spirit Gathering Arrays, the tenth ranked is the lowest, the first ranked is the highest.

Only the disciples in the top ten of the outer court can train in the Spirit Gathering Array, the tenth ranked Spirit Gathering Array has spiritual energy twice that of ordinary places in the Daoist School, and the first ranked Spirit Gathering Array has a spiritual energy concentration eleven times that of common areas! If by then, you can train in the Spirit Gathering Array, I hope you let me join in, a Spirit Gathering Array can hold dozens of people!"

"Sure..." Ye Feng nodded lightly; actually, Ye Feng wasn’t very interested in the Spirit Gathering Array.

Because Ye Feng currently possesses Daoist Crystals, he can use them to train, absorbing Daoist Crystals is much faster than absorbing spiritual energy, seeing Ye Feng seemed disinterested, Zhang Meng continued saying: "Ye Feng, if you can become one of the top ten disciples of the outer court, there’s another advantage, you can select treasures from the Daoist School treasury!"
