"What's going on?" Why didn't those from the disciplinary team move at all?
"Have they gone stupid?"
"Wrong! It isn't that they don't want to move. They cannot move!"
...
The disciplinary members of the clan that had always acted as they did, sweeping through everything in the clan, were now all standing dumbfoundedly like an immobile stone man. This bizarre scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone, inciting discussion.
"Why do the clan's disciplinary team seem as though they have been cursed?"
"Could this be something this brat has done?"
...
Everyone stared in a bewildered manner, surveying Feng Lin, wanting to see through his secrets.
"What are you all doing?!" The Head Butler roared in rage upon seeing this strange scene.
However, the members of the clan's disciplinary team simply couldn't move. They had become something like stones that had no reactions.
Upon closer observation, he discovered that the expressions of the disciplinary clan members had frozen, but their eyeballs were revolving in their eye sockets in panic as though they were about to be frightened to death.
"What tricks have you pulled?" The Head Butler's gaze turned sinister as he turned around and questioned Feng Lin.
Feng Lin coldly laughed, disdained to say anything more.
These disciplinary clan members might seem extremely ferocious to ordinary people in the clan. But at most, they were simply stronger cultivation apprentices.
Given Feng Lin's current strength, if his opponent wasn't an elite cultivator, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to act against Feng Lin.
A powerful wave of mental energy instantly radiated forth from him. It was sufficient to cause them all to have a nervous breakdown. They simply didn't even have the opportunity to act.
"This is mental suppression!" The Head Butler had also awakened the Mental Gene. He exclaimed in shock after sensing this similar energy.
"Awakened!" He roared, his hands forming the 'lion finger gesture', as waves of mental energy gushed forth from the Head Butler. His voice was so loud that even the deaf could hear it. His mental energy instantly shook the hearts of everyone, as he exuded an imposing aura.
But a moment later, the expression of the Head Butler's face drastically changed. He felt as though his mental energy had rammed into a steel wall, resulting in an impact that caused a great rush of energy to instantly surge backward into his mind.
ARGH!
The mental energy he had sent out was now attacking himself. He felt as though there was a blade embedded in his mind.
The Head Butler instantly clutched his head and started to roll around the ground, screaming in agony.
He could no longer maintain his strict demeanor and cold countenance. His expression was contorted by pain and agony, growing increasingly hideous.
Didn't you like to radiate your might to scare people? How's the feeling now?
Feng Lin coldly laughed in his heart. He didn't feel joy doing this. It felt pretty tasteless and dull.
Once, the Head Butler caused him to feel great pressure. If he was able to avenge his previous humiliation, he in the past would feel extremely happy.
But now, it felt insignificant because the Head Butler was truly way too weak. Although the Head Butler was an interstellar cultivator, his vitality stats didn't exceed 10 and his combat prowess was among the bottom feeders.
The Head Butler wasn't even able to resist Feng Lin's mental energy. He was simply too weak.
Defeating such an opponent, was there anything worth being happy about?
...
"Interstellar cultivator?" The Feng Clan's leader suddenly stood up from his seat. He felt anger due to the miserable situation of the Head Butler but was also shocked due to Feng Lin's strength.
The Head Butler was ultimately the one who managed the internal affairs of the clan. Now that he was treated like that by someone, where did all the clan's laws go to?
Since this Feng Lin was able to cause the Head Butler and the disciplinary team to suffer from the moment he showed his face, he definitely could be considered an absolute expert even among interstellar cultivators.
Now that the Feng Clan suddenly gained an interstellar cultivator that didn't follow the rules, the clan leader didn't feel happy or sad, joy or frustration.
"Spiritual-type gene?" The demonically handsome young man beside the clan leader just sat and observed this scene. He silently mumbled to himself; the previously lazy expression on his face was replaced with interest as he watched.
"Isn't that Feng Lin?" Feng Lang's mouth was opened wide as astonishment appeared on his face.
In the clan, he was the one who understood Feng Lin the most.
Initially, when he had seen the Head Butler making things difficult for Feng Lin, he had been preparing to step in to smooth things out for Feng Lin.
Who would have thought that Feng Lin's actions were so ruthless and decisive, settling the Head Butler and the disciplinary team's members in an instant?
Was this still the Feng Lin from before that could be easily bullied by the Head Butler?
The disparity between then and now was simply too great!
Feng Lang even felt that he no longer recognized Feng Lin.
Even Feng Lang felt this way, there was no need to mention about Feng Lin's parents.
They were extremely clear about Feng Lin's strength in the past. How could their son, who was mediocre at best, suddenly become a supreme genius? This sudden joy caused them to feel so happy that they were dizzy. However, the joy soon faded away and turned into panic. They felt that this was an illusion.
Feng Li and Feng Jinpeng who were geniuses in the clan felt vigilance in their hearts as they contemplated Feng Lin.
They were all interstellar cultivators, but Feng Lin's bizarre methods caused them to feel extremely wary.
"Who is this Feng Lin? Where did he come from?"
"He is so powerful, causing the Head Butler to suffer so badly in just an instant."
"But without the support of the clan, how did he become an interstellar cultivator?"
...
Feng Lin's sudden rise caused a bomb of commotion among the crowd, as everyone was discussing fervently. Many more in the crowd felt that this was almost inconceivable.
At this moment, the Head Butler was still screaming in pain.
The clan leader's expression sank."Hurry up and take him away. What a disgrace."
Another disciplinary team went over speedily and brought the Head Butler away.
Feng Lin also casually retracted his mental energy. Those disciplinary team members, who were frozen, gradually slumped and fell onto the ground, completely devoid of strength. Puddles of urine could be seen beneath their feet. They were so frightened that they lost control completely.
Before this, their mental states were completely suppressed by Feng Lin. It was simply too terrifying when they couldn't even control whether to die or not.
When the new group of disciplinary members came over and saw their team members suffering, they only dared to rage silently but didn't dare to make a single sound of protest. They glared at Feng Lin silently and hurriedly brought their members away.
"Feng Lin, you said that it's because you were assiduously cultivating in seclusion that you missed the ancestor worshipping ceremony?" The clan leader stood on the platform and stared down at Feng Lin; his mouth pursed up in displeasure as he asked.
The eyes of all the clansmen turned over, wanting to see how the clan leader would handle this young upstart.
"That's right." Feng Lin faced the clan leader and replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"In that case, have you already become an interstellar cultivator? What is your vitality stats?" The clan leader asked again, feeling extremely bewildered.
It was due to him couldn't sense the vigorous life force of an interstellar cultivator radiating from Feng Lin. If it wasn't for Feng Lin displaying his brilliance earlier, he might even feel that Feng Lin was just a non-cultivator.
He didn't know that Feng Lin had awakened the Stone Monkey Gene, and his entire body was like a boulder, one with the universe. If Feng Lin didn't intentionally reveal his aura, no one would be able to discover anything.
To the clan leader's question, Feng Lin released his restraints and revealed a hint of aura, allowing the clan leader to sense it.
As for his vitality stats... hehehe!
It seemed like if he didn't reveal his cultivation, he wouldn't be able to gain respect.
But how would Feng Lin be so silly to reveal his true strength?
The clan leader could also tell what was going on. After sensing that aura, he didn't press on with his questions any further. He knew that even if he continued to press on, Feng Lin wouldn't answer him.
"Since this is the case, you can join the clan's ranking competition. As for you missing the ancestors worshipping ceremony, we will pursue this incident after the ranking competition."
The other clansmen almost fell over from shock. They didn't expect their clan leader, who had always been very strict about the clan's laws, would actually treat Feng Lin so leniently.
Feng Lin nodded as this was not unexpected at all.
Interstellar cultivators were considered the greatest wealth of a clan. Each of them was extremely important.
Now that Feng Lin had displayed his potential, as long as the clan leader wasn't a fool, he would definitely give him a heavy recognition.
How could someone that could become the clan leader be a fool? It was impossible.
Feng Lin once again reported his name to the elder-in-charge.
And as Feng Lin joined in, the ranking competition officially began.
Since the number of participants was too much, the vast main hall was separated into a thousand dueling platforms, and the battles started at the same time!
Feng Lin's first opponent was a young man around fifteen to sixteen years of age. His face was filled with arrogance and his talent wasn't bad; his vitality stats had reached a total of 3. 2.
This young man stared at Feng Lin with jealousy. He stared right at him and called out his full name, "Feng Lin, don't assume you are impressive because of your earlier actions. Before me, Feng..."
"Get the hell down." With regards to this opponent who hadn't even fully matured Feng Lin couldn't be bothered to waste time talking to him.
His mental energy instantly rushed forth, hypnotizing the will of this little brat. The little brat then walked down the dueling platform in a dumbstruck manner.
The A. I. that was monitoring everything instantly had a result. It announced in a loud voice that reverberated throughout the Feng Clan.
"Feng Lin, victory. Time taken: 10 seconds!"
