Chapter 2398: Difficult to Break Out
Editor: RED
Original strength fused together with Celestial Dao, it was almost invisible and intangible. Lin Feng sensed how terrifying the energy was.
He felt heavy.
Whistling sounds spread in the air. The wolf moved towards him, he had managed to break free from Lin Feng’s slow strength. If Lin Feng hadn’t controlled slow strength, he wouldn’t have been able to compete with the wolf.
A strong wind was blowing. Some wind blades moved towards Lin Feng, the wind turned into a hurricane.
Lin Feng released a terrifying sword energy which sliced through the atmosphere around him.
“Break!” shouted Lin Feng furiously. His God’s Sword struck out at everything around, fissures appeared. However, a heavier strength oppressed him as an ape ran towards him. Each time the ape took a step, Lin Feng felt even more under pressure. If he had been an ordinary cultivator, he would have exploded!
A gigantic hand which blotted out the sky appeared above Lin Feng and descended, containing an awesome heavy strength. Lin Feng had the impression he was carrying the world on his shoulders. If that hand reached him, he’d be crushed into mush.
“Slow!” Lin Feng released slow strength. He fused it together with the Celestial Dao of the outside world, and his energies became even more powerful. Everything around him became slower.
“Back!” Lin Feng moved back. He turned into a beam of light. He retreated to where he was just before. The wolf’s attack had almost reached him.
“Those beasts are so strong. Besides, only three of them attacked. The others didn’t even try anything. Only the wolf tried to kill me, the others didn’t try anything, they must think I’m too weak to even pass the exam, so they just watched from the side!”
If they had attacked Lin Feng together, things would have been different, even more dangerous. Lin Feng looked at them, he was amazed. Only three beasts had attacked him and he felt so much pressure. How terrifying would it have been if the others had attacked him, too?
“Mu Feng, what do you think?” asked Ju Shen Yan to Lin Feng.
“They’re strong. Those beasts are very strong. Passing this exam will be very difficult!” whispered Lin Feng.
“They didn’t say we had to take the exam one at a time. We might be able to join hands,” said Ju Shen Yan.
Lin Feng was surprised, join hands?
It was a good solution. The only problem was… if the three of them joined hands, they would have an opportunity to get through, but probably not all of them.
“Xiao Yin, what do you think?” asked Ju Shen Yan to Xiao Yin.
“We can join hands. But only one of us will get through. Who, though?” said Xiao Yin. She looked nervous.
If one of them managed to get through, it would mean they passed the exam. They were three, who would be willing to let anyone else get through?
“Mu Feng is stronger than me. I can let him go, especially since he controls fast strength, he has more chances to succeed,” said Ju Shen Yan. “I don’t stand any chance alone, anyway. If I can help one or two people, why not? Xiao Yin, if you think you can, no problem. I can let you pass too.”
Xiao Yin was surprised. Ju Shen Yan was truly generous, he was willing to let them pass?
“Alright, since you are willing to help, one of us can try once, and we do our best to help each other. We’ll see who’s lucky,” said Xiao Yin.
Ju Shen Yan didn’t mind. “Alright!”
“One person, one try. That way, Ju Shen Yan can try too. One person, one round, the two others help. If anyone succeeds, we help them to the end,” said Lin Feng. Ju Shen Yan was willing to help them and sacrifice himself. Lin Feng wasn’t selfish, and Ju Shen Yan was strong too. If he could help him break through, he would be happy to do so!.
“Good. I’ll try first then,” said Xiao Yin, slowly walking forwards.
She’s determined, no wonder she made it so far in life, especially as a woman!, thought Lin Feng. He admired Xiao Yin, she was very determined.
Lin Feng and Ju Shen Yan stayed at her side.
“You think it’ll be easier if you join hands?” said the wolf, his eyes glittering. He looked at them coldly, then he said to the beasts behind him, “Dear friends, if you don’t do anything this time, those humans will get away, that’d be humiliating. How could we let a few tiny little insects get away?”
The beasts looked at Lin Feng and the others. Three people joining hands, so what?
“I’ll use fast strength on you,” Lin Feng told Xiao Yin telepathically. Suddenly, she became much faster.
“Mu Feng is really strong. He understands both fast and slow strength. Later, when he becomes a high-level Saint, if he makes the two energies fuse together, he’ll directly become a peerless Saint. And when fast and slow strength perfectly fuse together, you can also influence time.” She had heard that when slow and fast strength reached perfection, it became time.
During these seven years, Lin Feng had done more than her.
“Seal!” said Xiao Yin suddenly. Suddenly, the atmosphere was sealed by ice energies around her.
“Let’s go!” shouted Xiao Yin extremely loudly. She was prepared and moved as fast as lightning. Lin Feng and Ju Shen Yan followed her closely.
“Kacha!” The ice broke loudly. Xiao Yin opened her mouth and released terrifying soundwave energies. She was also a genius. She understood more than one original energy, too!
“Fast!” Lin Feng and the two others accelerated.
“Stop!” shouted someone. Water surrounded them.
“Water Constriction!” Xiao Yin was stupefied, she felt as if she were underwater, she couldn’t move as quickly anymore. She flashed forwards and released fire energies. Suddenly, she was bathing in flames.
“What a strong baby girl. Surprisingly, she understands water, fire, and soundwave strength, three original types of strength, and she made them all fuse together with Celestial Dao to become a low-level Saint,” said the beast in white clothes. He was surprised. Xiao Yin was really extraordinary.
A gigantic hand moved towards Xiao Yin.
“Seal!” Xiao Yin wanted to seal the atmosphere, but it was useless. No matter what she did, she couldn’t escape.
“I’m coming!” said Lin Feng, flashing towards her. A terrifying destructive strength pressed forwards with indomitable will. The gigantic hand exploded. Xiao Yin benefited from the opportunity and moved forwards.
“You can’t get out!” shouted a beast. Qi surrounded Xiao Yin, and the beast in white clothes released a howling hurricane which moved towards Xiao Yin and pushed her back violently.
“We failed, back!” Lin Feng and Ju Shen Yan moved backwards.
“How strong. I didn’t have a single chance. We’ve just become low-level Saints, those beasts have been low-level Saints for many years. We don’t stand a single chance. They’re just playing with us. They can even kill us if they want,” said Xiao Yin. She felt dispirited. It was so difficult.
“Yes, apart from that wolf, the others are merciful,” said Lin Feng. He had noticed that. The other beasts were terrifyingly strong, but they didn’t try to kill them, and they were much stronger.
After that, Lin Feng and Ju Shen Yan also tried but they all failed. Lin Feng had managed to go much farther than Ju Shen Yan and Xiao Yin, but he had failed too in the end.
Of course, Lin Feng didn’t use his full strength, it wasn’t the right time. He wanted the beasts to evaluate his strength first based on what he was doing, he wanted them to get used to it, and then he’d use his full strength.

Time passed, two years went by. They continued trying for two years, and none of them managed to break through. During those two years, someone else arrived: Liao Feng, the archer. The four of them joined hands over and over again, but they failed each time.
