"Father, are you okay? That person is too arrogant, he just attacked without warning. This is Chang City, is it a place where a martial artist like him can act recklessly?
I'm going to inform Lord Liu, let him send the Qi Condensation cultivators and innate martial artists to directly arrest this unruly martial artist and throw him into jail!"
It was only then that Xiahou Zheng's eldest son seemed to come back to his senses and immediately spoke fiercely.
"Slap".
Suddenly, Xiahou Zheng slapped his eldest son's face. Immediately, there were five clear finger marks left on his son's face.
"Father, you..."
"Unfilial son shut up!"
Xiahou Zheng's eyes instantly turned red, he roared angrily, "He is 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei, his saber is bound to slay immortals! Even the top-level Qi Condensation cultivators have been slain by his single saber stroke.
Does your so-called Lord Liu dare to provoke Lin Fei? There is no one in the entire Chang City that Lin Fei does not dare to kill!
Only Lin Fei is a real martial artist. And I... I have not deserved to draw my saber..."
Xiahou Zheng's expression was full of despair. As for his son, he was completely dumbfounded. Covering his mouth, he didn't dare to speak. Top-level Qi Condensation cultivators all slain by a single saber stroke of Lin Fei?
He didn't know what the concept of a martial artist like Lin Fei was. However, he knew what it meant to be a top-level Qi Condensation cultivator. That was an immortal master who even the emperor had to respect!
Yet to Lin Fei, even such top-level Qi Condensation cultivators could be slain. Could a martial artist be this powerful? For a moment, the entire Mad Wind Martial Arts Hall fell quiet.
Lin Fei had already left the Mad Wind Martial Arts Hall. Heavenly Saber Art had integrated the "Mad Wind Saber Technique". This was an acquired martial art. It was a pity that it only increased the practice progress of Heavenly Saber Art by 5%.
According to Lin Fei's previous experience, the perfection saber techniques of the body refining level could increase the practice progress by 1%. Acquired level saber techniques could roughly increase the practice progress by 5%.
Of course, this was not absolute. Some saber techniques were especially powerful. Once they reached the perfection state and were integrated into Heavenly Saber Art, it was certain that they could increase the practice progress even more.
"There are three great saber masters in Chang City. Besides 'Mad Wind Saber' Xiahou Zheng, there are also 'Astonishing Goose Saber' Shen He and 'Soul Chasing Saber' Tie Lin. The next one, go find 'Astonishing Goose Saber' Shen He."
Lin Fei directly arrived at the Astonishing Goose Gate. This was a sect established by Shen He.
"Nine Profound Sect's Lin Fei especially came to learn saber techniques from 'Astonishing Goose Saber' Master Shen He!"
Lin Fei directly strode into the Astonishing Goose Gate.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Swish."
"Astonishing Goose Saber" Shen He, was disheveled. His hair was cut off by a strand of saber energy.
Lin Fei turned around and walked out.
"Shen He, your saber technique is stronger than Xiahou Zheng's. At least, you can draw your saber."
Having said that, Lin Fei didn't care what Shen He would do, he directly went to the Soul Chasing Gang, where "Soul Chasing Saber" Tie Lin was. This was a gang.
"Nine Profound Sect's Lin Fei especially came to learn saber techniques from 'Soul Chasing Saber' Master Tie Lin!"
Another quarter of an hour later. Lin Fei walked out of the Soul Chasing Gang. Tie Lin was also disheveled, a picture of desolation.
In one day, Lin Fei challenged the three great saber masters of Chang City and all of them were defeated with one move. Especially Mad Wind Saber Xiahou Zheng didn't even have the courage to draw his saber.
For a time, "Immortal Slayer Saber" Lin Fei, in Chang City, stirred up another frenzy.
However, Lin Fei was very disappointed. Among the three great saber masters, he only integrated three perfection-stage acquired saber techniques. It only increased his practice progress by a total of 15%. There was still a long way to go before Heavenly Saber Art could birth the saber intent.
"Looking for martial artists with perfect saber techniques is too inefficient. Especially now in Chang City, there are only three saber masters, and I've sought them all out.
Those Body Refining martial artists, or martial artists who have only perfected the Body Refining stage saber techniques, can also increase my saber technique foundation.
I need to find a way to get them to come to me. But how can I attract these Body Refining martial artists and acquired martial artists to come to me?"
A light flashed in Lin Fei's mind. He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom. In the porcelain bottle, there was a pill. Heavenly Meridian Pill!
Lin Fei helped Ling Yao become the champion of the Royal Competition. He received a Heavenly Meridian Pill.
However, Lin Fei later consumed the blood of the Treasure Snake. Relying on its blood, Lin Fei directly reached the twelfth level of the acquired stage. Therefore, he didn't use this Heavenly Meridian Pill. He always carried it with him. Unexpectedly, it came into use now.
A Heavenly Meridian Pill, for Acquired martial artists and Body Refining martial artists, had an unimaginable attraction. After all, it could directly open up a meridian.
So, Lin Fei directly announced through the South King Mansion that anyone who had perfected saber techniques could challenge him. Just discussing saber techniques. No need for True Qi or inner power. If they can defeat him, they could get a Heavenly Meridian Pill!
Suddenly, countless acquired martial artists, especially saber practitioners, flocked to the South King Mansion.
However, even if they didn't use True Qi or inner power, just comparing saber techniques, Lin Fei was still one of the top saber practitioners.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Lin Fei spent ten days at the South King Mansion and he defeated countless martial artists.
But although the Heavenly Saber Art integrated many martial arts, they were basically saber techniques at the Body Refining level. There were very few acquired-level perfection saber techniques. Therefore, in ten days, the cultivation progress of Heavenly Saber Art only increased by 20%.
Adding the 15% cultivation progress gained from defeating the three great saber masters, there was a total of 35% cultivation progress.
Previously, Heavenly Saber Art only had 1% cultivation progress. Up to now, it was only 36%. There was still a long way to go.
"Basically all the saber practitioners in Chang City have come to the South King Mansion. Continuing to wait has no meaning. When Liu Yibai obtained the 'Number One Sword Under Heaven', he did it by traveling all over the world and defeating everyone.
Now if I want to collect countless perfection saber techniques, and allow Heavenly Saber Art to birth saber intent. I'm afraid I also have to travel the world and meet saber practitioners from all over!"
Lin Fei had already made up his mind. Even, he gradually spread some news that he wanted to follow the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect, travel all over the world, meet all the saber practitioners in the world, and seize the title of "Number One Saber Under Heaven"!
Whoever could defeat him, whether it was by martial arts or purely by saber techniques, he could give them a Heavenly Meridian Pill!
This news, with the constant spread by travelers and martial artists, spread all over the world in just a few days. It quickly caused a stir in the entire martial world.
After all, this was "Immortal Slayer Saber" Lin Fei! Now he was openly vying for the title of "Number One Saber Under Heaven". As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Even the martial artist who was indifferent to fame and fortune, at this moment, couldn't sit still.
Number One Saber Under Heaven! The entire Great Chang hadn't had a Number One Saber Under Heaven for a long time. Instead, the Hidden Sword Sect's "Number One Sword Under Heaven" was well-known and revered.
South King Mansion.
Ling Yao looked at Lin Fei with a complex expression.
"Lin Fei, have you really decided?"
"Senior Sister Ling, I've made up my mind. The title of 'Number One Saber Under Heaven' must be mine! Only in this way can I attract the top saber practitioners in the world," Lin Fei said calmly.
"The title of 'Number One Saber Under Heaven' plus a Heavenly Meridian Pill. I believe it's enough to attract all the saber practitioners in the world."
Ling Yao knew that Lin Fei's grand display, known to everyone, was actually for the perfection of saber intent. Lin Fei was single-mindedly focused on the path of martial arts. But no matter how strong he was, he was still only innate. Was it worth it?
"Senior Sister Ling, what were you fighting for when you were contending for the position of a princess?" Lin Fei suddenly asked.
"To control my own destiny!" Ling Yao immediately replied. That was what she thought back then.
"But even if you inherit the title of the South Princess, can you really control your own destiny?"
Ling Yao fell silent. Only after becoming the princess did she realize how complex and difficult it was to seize power.
Lin Fei looked at Ling Yao, his gaze deep and calm. He spoke slowly, word by word, "Senior Sister Ling, if you want power, what's so difficult about it? Don't even mention the title of South Princess, even if you want to become the Empress of Great Chang, it's not a big deal. If I become a Martial Saint, everything will be easy! I follow the path of martial arts for longevity.
Senior Sister wishes for power. But even if you gain power and control your destiny, it's just a few decades. What does it amount to?"
Lin Fei spoke word by word, staring at Ling Yao.
"Senior Sister Ling, I hope you can figure out what you want during this time. Next time I return to Chang City, it will be time to help you achieve your wishes. Martial arts, power... you can choose either!
If you choose martial arts, I will do my best to help you become innate! If you choose power, even if you want to become an empress, I will help you!"
Lin Fei's voice echoed in Ling Yao's ears. By the time Ling Yao came to her senses, Lin Fei had already left the South King Mansion, disappearing without a trace.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts: This is a proverb. It means that even someone who writes exceptionally well would not dare to boast that their writing is the best in the world, while someone with great martial arts skills often boasts that their skills are unparalleled. It often refers to the tendency of martial artists to always claim superiority in their abilities. You know, martial artists are always competitive.
-------------------------
Actually, I've always wanted to write a romantic scene between Ling Yao and Lin Fei, but I realized that I'm not really good at it, so you might find it a bit awkward.
