Chapter 17: The Cliff of Bells and Drums

  In Hanman's room, Lin Feng and Jingyun furrowed their brows tightly, their eyes narrowed into a line.

  "The injury is very severe." Lin Feng examined Han Mian's injuries, and although a martial artist's recovery ability was extremely strong, Han Mian's injuries were too severe. His chest bone was fractured in several places, his internal organs were damaged, and it was almost impossible for him to recover on his own.

  "It's nothing, I've been tough since I was a kid, I won't die." Han Man was quite optimistic, grinning from ear to ear.

  "What about your cultivation?" Lin Feng glared at Han Man, who shifted his gaze away, not daring to look into Lin Feng's eyes. No way, even if he wouldn't die, would he become a useless person, inferior to an ordinary human?

  "Lin Feng, let's go to Hei Feng Ridge, hunt down some demonic beasts and exchange their cores for some spiritual medicine with the sect." Jing Yun looked at Lin Feng. Although Han Man was an outer disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, there were countless outer disciples in the sect who didn't enter the inner sect. They would never receive attention from the sect. The sect only provided a platform, with cultivation techniques and martial skills, and a place to gain experience, allowing them to grow. Only when they entered the inner sect could they be considered true Cloud Sea Sect members. Therefore, they didn't expect the sect to help Han Man for free.

  "It's no use, Han Man's injuries are too severe. Even if ordinary medicine can cure him, it will still leave behind aftereffects." Lin Feng shook his head.

  "What shall we do?"

  Lin Feng suddenly stood up and walked out.

  "I'm going to the Tiankeng Cliff, wait for me when I come back." A calm voice came, and Lin Feng walked out of the room. Jing Yun's body trembled slightly, clutching her clothes tightly in her hand.

  Han Man's face revealed a silly smile, but the corners of his eyes seemed to be moist, Tianyan Cliff, only Lin Feng dared to think about it, and even dared to do it.

  Tianying Cliff, one of the most mysterious and sacred places in Yunhai Zong, his reputation is even more resounding than the Life and Death Platform of Fengyun Gorge.

  Although there are very few people who have been to the Life and Death Platform of Yunfeng Gorge, they do appear from time to time. However, as for Tianyan Cliff, extremely few people dare to set foot on it. Even if someone dares to go, they must be those true martial arts fanatics or geniuses who pursue the way of martial arts. In Yunhai Sect, many disciples have only heard of the name of Tianyan Cliff and do not know what it actually is.

  However, everyone has heard the rumors that as long as they pass the trial of Tianying Cliff, they will truly be valued by the sect and obtain the treasure they desire, but if they fail the trial, the consequences will be extremely severe.

  On the top of Yunhai Zong's Absolute Peak, there is a stone cave palace. This is the passage to Tianyan Cliff.

  At this time, Lin Feng had arrived at the entrance of the passage under the Absolute Peak.

  "Yunhai Zong's outer sect disciple Lin Feng wants to head to the Heavenly Rift Cliff." Standing at the entrance of the passageway, Lin Feng shouted into it.

  The sound traveled through the passage and into the mountain wall, echoing without ceasing. After a moment, an echo came back.

  "Come in."

  "Yes." Lin Feng responded with a single word and immediately entered the passage.

  The passageway was slightly dim, with stone walls carved with patterns on both sides. Lin Xiang walked towards a bright light in the distance and soon arrived at a stone cave.

  There is a stone bed, a desk and a candle holder in the cave. It's an extremely simple room. At this moment, an old man in black robe is sitting on the stone bed with his eyes closed, motionless.

  "Do you want to go to Tianyan Cliff?" The old man in black robes still had his eyes closed, his voice calm.

  "Yes." Lin Feng replied.

  "What's it for?"

  "My friend is injured, with multiple rib fractures and internal injuries. I need a medicinal pill that can cure his wounds without any side effects." Lin Feng said calmly.

  The old man in black robes opened his eyes, and his profound gaze seemed to have the power of penetration, as if he wanted to see through Lin Feng.

  "Dan medicine is available, but with your current cultivation at the 8th level of Wu Jing, it's difficult to pass the Tiankong Cliff trial. Release your martial soul and let me take a look."

  Lin Feng nodded slightly, and a small snake's shadow appeared, but he did not release his dark martial soul.

  "Hmm?" The old man in black robes furrowed his brow, his knowledge was not to be underestimated, but he had never known of a martial soul like this one, which resembled a snake flying through the air, and was too small, without even half a hint of the ferocity of a beast martial soul.

  "Go in from that passageway." The old man in black robes pointed with his hand, and there were many passageways in his room, leading to different places of trial.

  "Thanks, senior." Lin Feng nodded and then walked into the passageway pointed out by the black-robed old man.

  Seeing Lin Feng enter the passage, the black-robed old man slightly shook his head. With a cultivation base of eight layers in the Qi Wu realm and an extremely weak martial soul, it was almost impossible for him to pass the test at Tianyan Cliff. The path he had pointed out to Lin Feng led to a place called Zhong Drum Absolute Wall, which might be considered the weakest in terms of lethality among the tests, but Lin Feng could quit at any time. However, its difficulty was the greatest.

  The old man in black robes didn't want Lin Feng to get too seriously injured because of the trial, so he chose to let him enter and then retreat.

  The bell drum is absolutely quiet on the wall. The sound of the bell drum there has not been heard for a hundred years, which also means that no one has passed the test through that passage for a hundred years.

  Lin Feng entered the passage, the dark and gloomy passage had countless stairs leading upwards. After climbing nearly a thousand steps, Lin Feng arrived at a stone gate. As he approached, the stone gate opened from both sides.

  "How strange." Lin Feng muttered to himself, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

  Fresh air rushed to the nose, Lin Feng stepped out of the stone gate, and this place was actually a cliff, with misty air lingering in the air, carrying a hint of coolness.

  On this desolate land, there are eight-sided vertical drums and gongs, some of which resemble the war drums that Lin Feng beat when he charged onto the ancient battlefield in his previous life. These eight-sided drums and gongs surround a large empty space in the middle.

  "Rumble!" The stone wall closed automatically. Lin Feng turned around and saw a line of clear large characters carved on the stone wall.

  "Does it only need to make one side of the eight-sided drum sound to pass the test?" Lin Feng finished reading the line and understood, then came to the middle empty space of the eight-sided drum.

  I don't know what's so mysterious about this eight-sided drum, but it seems that as long as one side of the drum is struck, it counts as passing.

  "Drink." Lin Feng's foot moved and a casual fist struck one of the bell drums.

  "Hmm......" A dull sound rang out, a wave of nothingness was released from the bell drum and fell on Lin Feng's body, causing Lin Feng to take a slight step back.

  "Hmm?" Lin Feng's eyebrows rose, and his footsteps accelerated again, the force on his fist increasing to 5,000 catties.

  "Buzz, buzz!" A strong buzzing sound was emitted, and the waves spreading from the bell took on a substantial form, with great power rebounding back.

  "Boom!" A extremely violent wave crashed onto Lin Feng's body, sending his body flying directly upwards.

  "Cough, cough." Falling to the ground, Lin Feng coughed twice, with a thread of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his heart was shocked.

  Is this... Ninefold Ripple?

  Lin Feng's pupils shot out a sharp light, the power that had just landed on him was actually the power of the Ninefold Waves, and this power far exceeded his drumming power. This eight-sided drum could bounce back attacks, and when it bounced back, it could also increase its power exponentially.

  It's strange, how can this bell drum have a rebound force?

  Lin Feng sat there, not hurrying to get up. A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. Twice, it was just a buzzing sound, and there was no response from the bell drum. The stronger the power he used, the stronger the attack he would suffer. This seemed to be a dead end.

  "No, since it's a test, there must be a way to pass it. It's just that I haven't found it yet. Moreover, the black-robed old man knows my cultivation is weak and my martial soul isn't strong either. He should have chosen the simplest test. If I can't even pass this simple test, how can I talk about pursuing the martial path?"

  Lin Feng's eyes were firm as he stood up from the ground. At this moment, he completely misunderstood the intention of the black-robed old man. This was not the simplest test, but the most difficult one. The old man in black hoped that Lin Feng would know his limits and retreat, but instead, it triggered his unyielding will to pursue martial arts.

  "Hei An Wu Hun." Lin Feng's mind stirred, and the Dark Soul was released. Instantly, his eyes became profound, and under the effect of the Dark Soul, all his abilities were enhanced, including his comprehension.

  The long sword hummed, thunder exploded, and the sword struck on another side of the bell drum.

  "Hmm..."

  "Boom!"

  The sound of the sword's hum and the explosive thunder mixed together, rebounding back, Lin Feng's long sword shook, a layer of sword aura appeared in front of him, blocking the sharp edge that bounced back.

  "Hah!" His clothes ripped apart, and a streak of fresh blood seeped out from Lin Feng's body. Just as he had anticipated, the rebounding sword energy was twice as powerful as the one he had released, and even with his full defense, he still got injured.

  "Let's just consider it a practice of swordsmanship." Lin Feng didn't retreat and swung his sword again, striking another side of the bell drum.
