Chapter 24, 3 years later...
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Alicia appeared beside him.
"Theoretically speaking, the Thirteen Heroes can be anyone, including demons."
"The girl's demeanor just now does indeed resemble that of 'Qian Jie,' one of the Thirteen Heroes."
"Their fighting styles are also a perfect match."
"It's a pity... you're rivals, otherwise, with you in tow, we'd have four heroes in total," Alicia said with a hint of regret.
Lin Feng was originally Alicia's chosen one, and naturally inherited Alicia's "true self". In addition, Lin Feng was also the inheritor of "Aponia Discipline", one of the Thirteen Heroes.
With Cai'er inheriting "Moment," and if we include Leng Xiao, that makes exactly four.
Lin Feng was indeed having a bit of a headache at this moment. Given his and Leng Xiao's status, it was almost impossible to win Leng Xiao over at this stage.
After all, the human and demon races have been at war for many years, and it has long been a matter of life and death.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Let's put the Thousand Tribulations Inheritance aside for now and prepare for the Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament three and a half years from now. By then, geniuses from all 127 human towns will gather in the Holy City, and we should be able to find quite a few suitable inheritors."
"Well, that's the only way." Alicia nodded.
……
After returning to his residence, Lin Feng immediately chose to go into seclusion to cultivate and consolidate his fifth-tier strength.
Three days later, the alarm sounded for the demons to attack the city.
After a brief moment of thought, Lin Feng stepped onto the city wall once again.
The battle three days ago made Lin Feng realize that he still needed to engage in real combat to improve.
As soon as he arrived at the city wall, Lin Feng spotted a familiar figure in the demon army.
Isn't that Leng Xiao, who previously threatened to take revenge on me?
As expected, as the battle began, Leng Xiao went straight to Lin Feng...
After a fierce hand-to-hand combat, Leng Xiao lost to Lin Feng and then ordered Huang Shuo to withdraw his troops.
For the next year, whenever the demons launched a war, Lin Feng could always find Leng Xiao in the crowd.
The two inevitably had a contest, but unfortunately, the first time they met, Leng Xiao had the best chance of winning.
Not to mention that Lin Feng's strength has increased day by day since his breakthrough.
Without the suppression of liquid spiritual power, Leng Xiao was no match for Lin Feng. Therefore, Lin Feng maintained a perfect record throughout the year, and even went from being evenly matched at the beginning to being the one giving guidance in the current battle.
However, when Lin Feng stepped onto the city wall once again, Leng Xiao, who had fought against him for a year, had also disappeared from the battlefield.
This time, the demon general leading the army is no longer Huang Shuo, but a fifth-tier peak intelligent demon commander.
In the following battles, Lin Feng did not see Leng Xiao again. Although the frequency of the demons' sieges increased significantly, they were all low-level demons.
"This guy just leaves whenever he wants, even though we've been fighting for a year."
Lin Feng couldn't help but complain when Leng Xiao left without saying goodbye.
……
……
Time flies, and two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye. The new Demon Hunter Team selection competition has finally begun.
In the past two and a half years, Lin Feng has gradually transformed from a battlefield intern into a star player on the battlefield.
He repeatedly distinguished himself in battle and was well-known among his soldiers.
During this period, Lin Feng also became friends with Du Zi'e, and the two were known as the twin stars of the younger generation.
Inside the Zhennanguan Pastor's Temple.
Six pastors stood in a row. All six were pretty, the youngest being 14 years old and the oldest no more than 25.
They were all in the prime of their lives.
In front of the six people was the Deputy Hall Master of Ruoshui.
"Lord, it's almost time to depart. Are we waiting for anyone else?"
One of the older priests looked at Ruoshui and asked.
"Yes, we still have to wait for one more person."
"Lord of Weak Water Palace, weren't there only six of us who passed the Demon Hunter Team selection test at Zhennan Pass this time?" the older priest asked with some surprise.
Seeing this, Ruoshui chuckled and said, "You'll see when you get there."
Seeing the smile on Ruoshui's lips, the slightly older priest couldn't help but wonder who this person was that could make Lord Ruoshui care so much.
Soon a slightly deep but powerful voice rang out.
"Aunt Ruoshui, can I not wear this outfit? It's so inconvenient..."
At the entrance, Lin Feng looked at the long robe that dragged on the ground with some disdain.
Since Lin Feng became a member of the city defense army three years ago, he has never worn the priest's temple robes again, but instead wears military uniform.
Lin Feng felt really awkward wearing that long robe that let in drafts everywhere.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the six people were immediately displeased. After all, the priest's robe represented the face of the priest's temple, and they should cherish it. How could he be so disgusted by it!
But just as the six people's gazes fell on Lin Feng.
The six people's gazes seemed to be locked on Lin Feng, unable to move an inch.
"What a handsome young man..." one of the women couldn't help but say what she was thinking.
Lin Feng at this moment had long lost the naivety of a child he had five years ago.
Standing at 1.78 meters tall, with sharp, piercing eyes and a chiseled face, he wore a pristine white priest's robe, giving him an air of holiness and nobility.
In addition, Lin Feng has spent many years learning alongside Aponia, and has also acquired some of her compassion and divinity towards the world.
It looked exceptionally gritty.
Because of his years of battlefield experience, he exudes an aura of perseverance.
Lin Feng, who was complaining that his clothes didn't fit, also noticed the six people staring intently at him.
He subconsciously said, "Sorry, it took me a while to change my clothes."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Are you also participating in the Demon Hunter selection competition?" The older female priest asked, slightly infatuated. "I didn't see you during the previous assessments."
"My abilities are quite outstanding, so I don't need to take the assessment."
"Strength? In what aspect?" the woman, who was around twenty-five years old, asked bluntly.
Faced with this sudden question, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then asked with some surprise, "What other strength do you have?"
The woman realized she had been somewhat out of line, but then seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Feng with some surprise, asking, "You've broken through to the fifth rank?"
There are some rules for the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament. For example, once you break through to the fifth rank, you don't need to participate in the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament and you can advance directly.
Moreover, there are already few new professional priests in the Temple, and even those at the peak of the fourth rank are extremely rare, let alone the fifth rank.
Just then, one of the girls, who looked to be around sixteen years old, seemed to recognize Lin Feng. She covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed incredulously, "You're General Xiao Feng!"
Upon hearing the woman's words, the other five people widened their eyes in surprise. They knew that General Xiao Feng, who was rumored to be able to hold his own in the guard army, had already broken through to the early stage of the sixth rank!
Most people thought that General Xiaofeng and General Xiaodu were about the same age and had passed the age for the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, but no one expected that General Xiaofeng was so young!
