Chapter 740: Chapter 741 Night Banquet! (2nd Update)

Finally, after Principal Mu Yun Sang’s lengthy speech, all eleven sword teams of the Five Academies took the stage one by one. Without a doubt, the loudest cheers were naturally for the Central Courtyard Sword Team led by Li Yunting.

Li Yunting’s strength needed no further explanation, especially with the addition of Muu Liufeng, a peerless genius!

Muu Liufeng’s achievement of a hundred consecutive victories on the Hundred Battle Heaven List was not just an empty title. Even though he was unfortunately defeated in the battle against the Tianyang Empire envoy team last time, it was not due to a lack of combat power but because he fell into the opponent’s trap.

After that battle, Muu Liufeng underwent secret special training, even giving up the opportunity to enter the God Demon Battlefield.

His strength had improved significantly compared to a month ago.

Of course, Ling Feng was also a hot contender in this year’s Five Academy Sword Team competition, as his impressive feat of defeating the eleventh prince of the Tianyang Empire at the Imperial City Training Ground was truly astonishing.

However, the competition between sword teams often couldn’t rely on just one person, especially when strong teams clashed with each other.

The Central Courtyard Sword Team was undoubtedly a truly strong team.

But regardless, the status of the East Courtyard Sword Team had improved significantly compared to previous years. After all, in the past, the East Courtyard Sword Team was only at the level of the second teams of the other four academies. Although Goo Tengfeng’s strength was not inferior to the captains of the South, North, and West Courtyard Sword Teams, the strength of the other team members was somewhat lacking.

This time, besides Ling Feng, the super genius, there was also Lee Bufan, known as the "Little Sword God," whose outstanding strength was displayed when competing against the geniuses of the Tianyang Empire.

Of course, the final result would still depend on the performance of the swordmen in the arena.

Soon, all eleven teams ascended the stage of the Great Sword Fighting Arena. Although the competition hadn’t officially started, the atmosphere among the teams was already tense.

"Hmph, Goo Tengfeng, pray you don’t encounter our West Courtyard Sword Team too early!"

The captain of the West Courtyard Sword Team, Xuanyuan Ao, cracked his knuckles, producing a popping sound like fried beans. He gave a cold snort, staring at Ling Feng and Goo Tengfeng. He and Goo Tengfeng had always been rivals, and previously, due to an incident with a member of the West Courtyard Sword Team (Lio Shengjie), he had some conflict with Ling Feng.

This time, he intended to use the competition to stomp Goo Tengfeng and his team into the ground and avenge his past grievances.

Unfortunately, while the idea was beautiful, reality might be rather cruel.

"It should be you praying not to encounter our East Courtyard Sword Team too early!"

Goo Tengfeng sneered coldly. In the past, he might have considered the West Courtyard Sword Team as a strong competitor, but now...

The two teams were already not on the same level!

All the teams were eager to test their strength, but secretly competing with each other. However, Yuu Yunlan gently made a cheering gesture toward Ling Feng and softly said, "Young Master Ling, do your best!"

Ling Feng paused for a moment, then nodded, "Mm, see you in the finals!"

As soon as Ling Feng said this, there were immediate sneers.

"Hmph, this kid is really arrogant. Who does he think he is to be sure he can make it to the finals? It’s a joke!"

"Exactly. Even if his individual strength is pretty good, he’s a bit too arrogant! Hmph, rookies are just innocent; they don’t understand that the strength of a sword team can’t rely on one person alone!"

"..."

Ling Feng completely ignored these sour mocking comments.

In his eyes, there was only the first place!

...

Finally, when the opening ceremony was over, Ling Feng led his brothers away quickly, heading to his own Weiyuan General Mansion.

The banquet at the Weiyuan General Mansion should be almost prepared by now.

Although time was tight, it was believed that Elder Deng and those old guys from the Alchemy Master Guild should all come.

Moreover, with the "Human Emperor Yan Cangtian" attending, anyone in the Imperial City who tried to mess with him would have to consider their own standing!

When Ling Feng and his group arrived at the General Mansion, the entire mansion was already decorated with lanterns and streamers. Although the message was only sent by Su Hongxiu to the several tributes of the General Mansion this morning, they had all witnessed Ling Feng’s skills and dared not slack off in the slightest.

In just half a day, the entire banquet had been prepared in an orderly manner.

As for the invitations, they had basically all been sent to the major families of the Empire. After all, they were all Divine Origin Realm experts, and having previously served in the court, they had a certain amount of prestige.

"Brother Feen, your General Mansion is really impressive!"

Ye Nanfeng, who had come to Ling Feng’s mansion for the first time, couldn’t help but give Ling Feng a thumbs-up and laugh heartily, "After tomorrow, the entire Imperial City will know the name of your General Ling!"

"Haha, a banquet means good food!" Jiang Xiaofan patted his belly, his face full of smiles.

"Hehehe..." Wang Yishan, a frequent freeloader, also tagged along.

As the captain, Goo Tengfeng was relatively mature and steady, naturally understanding Ling Feng’s intentions. He nodded and said calmly, "Ling Feng, our Goo family still has some standing in the Imperial City. I’ll have my family prepare some gifts and send them over later!"

"Thanks, captain!" Ling Feng cupped his fist in a gesture of respect to Goo Tengfeng. The gifts weren’t the important part; it was the attitude of the Goo family that mattered!

As Ling Feng knew, the Goo family was also a military family. Although not as prominent as Old General Deng, it was still a significant aristocratic family in the Imperial City.

"Hehe, I’ll also go and have our family’s Old Master join in the fun!" Ye Nanfeng grinned and happily went home.

Then, Xue Xiaolin, Yuu Sixian, and Lin Mochen also each returned to their homes. Although their families might not be as prominent as Goo Tengfeng’s, their goodwill was appreciated.

Lee Bufan, though he didn’t say anything, nodded to Ling Feng and returned to the Grand Commandant Mansion.

The Grand Commandant was one of the Three Grand Ministers, and if Lee Taixu himself paid a visit, it would be akin to bringing half of the Imperial City’s nobility!

"Brother Lio, it’s a pity that our Jiaangdu Lio Family is too far from the Imperial City. Otherwise, we would certainly bring a generous gift too!"

Lio Yunfei smiled apologetically at Ling Feng. Although their Lio Family wasn’t as prestigious as the Mo Family’s Royal Family, it was still a princely family.

"Brother Lio, your sentiment is appreciated!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly. Reflecting on it, he realized that most of his acquaintances at the Heavenly Position Academy were indeed of significant backgrounds!

Lin Xian’er and Qin Wanwan, thinking they had nothing to do, insisted on helping Su Hongxiu in the kitchen, which gave Ling Feng and the others a fright.

If these two ladies improvised a little, others might think the Weiyuan General Mansion’s dinner was intentionally poisoning people!

After much persuasion, Ling Feng finally managed to excuse himself by promising to teach them a set of the "Flying Immortal Swordsmanship," which left the two young ladies content and away from the kitchen.

Since he was teaching anyway, Ling Feng decided to include Ouyang Jing, Lio Yunfei, and others. Being classmates, why not give them a chance at enlightenment.

How much they could comprehend depended on their own fate.
