Chapter 283: Three Days and Three Nights! Incredible!
Edited by RED
The Elder of Punishnts put a finger on the chessboard. Stars appeared and moved like water. They instantly pierced through Lin Feng’s thread of Qi, but Lin Feng didn’t mind. That was what chess was about, tricks and countering every move.
Lin Feng smiled lightly. He raised his left hand and lights flashed above the chessboard again. A space and ti cage appeared around the Elder of Punishnts’ stars. Absorbing strength erged and the stars slowly vanished. Lin Feng had countered the Elder of Punishnts’ move.
The Elder of Punishnts looked stupefied, before smiling in satisfaction. If Lin Feng had lost after one move, he wouldn’t have been qualified to sit there, right?
“Young friend, try again!” exclaid the Elder of Punishnts. He threw out his left hand, sharp lights moved straight towards Lin Feng’s head, but they didn’t reach his head, they collided with the chessboard. The space and ti cage’s Qi beca much weaker, about to break.
“Elder, you like to bully kids! Hehe!” Lin Feng chided. He used his left hand and the cage above the chessboard disappeared, but the space and ti energy beca even more dazzling and took control over the whole chessboard. The Elder of Punishnts instantly lost a piece.
The Elder of Punishnts was quite puzzled. He had underestimated Lin Feng!
“Haha, good, young man, I underestimated you. I won’t be polite anymore. I’m not letting you win!” said the Elder of Punishnts. He hadn’t felt so excited in a long ti. He lowered his hand again and made another move.
The two continued playing, using various tricks. They were extrely focused, no matter what was happening outside, they didn’t care, totally ignoring the screams echoing about.
———————
Ti passed slowly...
“What’s going on? The Elder of Punishnts and Lin Feng are not coming out?”
The two disciples who were guarding the building looked intrigued. The Court of Punishnt was still closed.
“Hasn’t Lin Feng been inside for more than three hours already?” asked a disciple. He was astonished.
The disciple on the right suddenly looked grave, and nodded, “Indeed, more than three hours already. Maybe the Elder of Punishnts released pure Qi to protect him?”
“Right, the three top disciples relied on their own strength inside, and only managed to stay around two hours.”
——
“Elder of Punishnts, it’s my turn.” said Lin Feng, laughing freely. He released brightness strength, six pieces dazzled with different colors and different sorts of Qi.
“You watch!” said the Elder of Punishnts. He was having fun. He released strength and destroyed five of Lin Feng’s pieces. One piece remained.
The Elder of Punishnts looked stupefied, raising his left hand and putting one of his pieces right in front of Lin Feng’s piece to prevent him from moving forwards.
Lin Feng frowned, but quickly moved again.
At that mont, more than ten hours had already passed. Neither of them realized it.
—
The disciples outside were astonished. They could imagine that the Elder of Punishnts had used pure Qi to protect Lin Feng after three hours, but over ten hours had passed, how could the Elder of Punishnts protect Lin Feng for over ten hours? Why would he?
Even if the Elder of Punishnts was extrely strong, he couldn’t waste his own pure Qi to help Lin Feng stay in there, they weren’t even friends, or teacher and disciple, either... therefore, the disciples understood that Lin Feng was probably relying solely on his own strength.
“How scary. The three top disciples struggled to stay in there for two hours, Lin Feng has been in there for over ten hours and he’s still not coming out.”
“Maybe the Elder of Punishnts got furious for so reason and killed him?”
“Nah, unlikely. The Elder of Punishnts invited him, how could he get angry at him?”
“He’s a beast. Everybody must be talking about this in Sword Mountain right now,” the disciples sighed at the sa ti. They were right, everybody in Sword Mountain knew that Lin Feng had been in the Court of Punishnt for over ten hours already and was still in there!
——
The leader, the vice-leaders, the managing elder, the Mountain Protecting Elder, and the Cabinet Protecting Elder all gathered outside of the Court of Punishnt.
When the two disciples who were guarding the place saw the incredibly strong cultivators, they hid in the crowd. They didn’t dare say anything.
The managing elder looked confused. He regretted that he had behaved that way the previous day.
“Managing Elder, are you sure that the one the Elder of Punishnts invited in was Lin Feng?” asked a middle-aged man in white clothes next to the managing elder. An illusory blue sword was floating above his head. His hair was hanging to his shoulders, and he was surrounded by sword Qi.
“Indeed, Cabinet Protecting Elder, it was Lin Feng.”
“I see.” said the Cabinet Protecting Elder. He remained silent when he heard the managing elder. The man in blue next to him didn’t say anything. Everybody understood that the Cabinet Protecting Elder was even more interested in Lin Feng.
“Let’s see how long Lin Feng can stay in there,” said one of the vice-leaders. Everybody stared at the Court of Punishnt.
It was as if those in the torture rooms had sensed the terrifying Qi which ca from outside, so the screams stopped. Lin Feng and the Elder of Punishnts continued playing chess.
“Young friend, the Qi outside... you...?”
“Master, I am quite fine. I can sense the Qi outside, but I’m still here,” said Lin Feng, interrupting the Elder of Punishnts and smiling indifferently.
The Elder of Punishnts laughed, he admired people like Lin Feng. No matter who the winner would be, he appreciated Lin Feng as a person!
“Young friend, my turn!” shouted the Elder of Punishnts. Golden lights appeared all around the chessboard as if it was going to break. If the chessboard broke, Lin Feng’s strategy would be ruined.
“Master, you’re not very kind, hehe!” said Lin Feng, laughing cheerfully. He raised his hands, put them on the Celestial Evolution Chessboard and released brightness strength to block the Elder of Punishnts’ move.
The Elder of Punishnts remained silent, looking thoughtful. Lin Feng had already put twenty pieces on the chessboard and they were in a line, one more piece and he’d win.

The first one who managed to put another piece would win.
But at the sa ti, they both looked thoughtful, and ti continued flowing by...
——————
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
Three days and three nights had passed. Nobody was moving. The elders, vice leaders, and leaders outside were astonished. They had never seen anyone who was able to stay in the Court of Punishnt for three days and nights... apart from the Elder of Punishnts, of course!
But Lin Feng did it. Lin Feng was only the second person after the Elder of Punishnts who had managed to do that.
“Master, after having channeled all these energies, the chessboard is now not weaker than a dium-level godly imperial weapon. Haha! Thank you very much, Master!” said Lin Feng suddenly, laughing as he stood up and put the chessboard away.
The Elder of Punishnts’ expression changed to soone dumbstruck. He looked embarrassed as he sighed, “Stinky young man, you wanted to play with you to help you improve your chessboard?”
“Hehe, not only. I initially wanted to ask you to teach so things, but you controlled your strength to have the sa strength as and help , I feel infinitely grateful,” Lin Feng said jokingly. He was teasing the Elder of Punishnts!
“Anyway, you stayed in here for three days and three nights, you’re a beast, extrely talented. If Sword Mountain rejects soone like you, I will be the first one to get angry. Hmph!” the Elder of Punishnts grunted. He abruptly looked very serious; Sword Mountain had to do all it could to raise Lin Feng. It would be extrely beneficial for Sword Mountain! Favoring Lu Li would be a terrible mistake!
“Alright, let’s go out. It’ll be fun to see the expressions of those outside. Hahaha!” the Elder of Punishnts laughed. He rolled up his sleeves and opened the gate of the Court of Punishnt, going out first.
Lin Feng followed him.
Everybody was staring at Lin Feng, the beast who had spent three days and three nights inside the Court of Punishnt.
