Chapter 915: The Older The Monster, The More Unpre

"But speaking of which, my potential is high, so why are you so excited?"

Yi Feng looked at the old man in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously, "I've searched across many realms just to find someone like you, whose fate I cannot discern, to inherit my legacy. Only someone with no upper limit like you is worthy of inheriting my teachings."

Yi Feng was stunned.

So, after all this, the old man wanted to take him as a disciple!

"Of course, truly inheriting my legacy isn't that simple. To be truly qualified, you'll need to pass other trials," the old man said excitedly. "But now, it just so happens that you're about to undergo the Death Inheritance. This Death Inheritance will serve as my test for you."

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, I haven't even agreed yet, and you're already getting ahead of yourself?"

Yi Feng rolled his eyes.

"Hehe, whether you agree or not is a matter for later. Whether you're qualified is the issue at hand. Only if you're qualified can we discuss whether you'll agree or not. But if you are qualified, I'm willing to pass on my legacy to you, and naturally, you won't refuse," the old man said confidently, stroking his beard with a smile.

Yi Feng scoffed and rolled his eyes again.

This old man was really full of himself.

"Of course, it's still too early to talk about this. The prerequisite is that you pass the Death Inheritance. As long as you pass, I will definitely take you as my disciple," the old man said with anticipation. "Of course, don't feel too much pressure. Although the Death Inheritance is perilous, your fate is something even I can't see through, so I have high hopes for you. I believe you will surely succeed in inheriting it."

Yi Feng's face visibly darkened.

This old man.

His heart was truly black.

He hadn't even undergone the Death Inheritance yet, and the old man was already jinxing him.

How could there be such a cunning and deceitful person in the world?

Yi Feng stood up to leave.

Someone who cursed him with safety from the start was definitely not someone he should associate with.

"Hey, wait!"

Seeing Yi Feng about to leave, the old man quickly stopped him, shouting, "Although I have high hopes for you, the Death Inheritance is still very dangerous for you. There's still a significant mortality rate."

Hearing this.

Yi Feng's dark expression softened slightly.

That sounded more like something a decent person would say.

But the old man's next words nearly made Yi Feng explode.

"So, although the Death Inheritance is my test for you, I'm eager to find a disciple and can help you take a shortcut."

With that.

The old man took out a talisman and slapped it on the table.

"This is a Reincarnation Talisman I spent 9,999 years traveling across many realms and gathering countless materials to create. It's a gift for my future disciple. Its power is immense—it can save you from death once."

"In other words, with this, you effectively have two lives."

"Although you're not my disciple yet, I'm willing to give it to you in advance."

"Take it, and your chances of surviving the Death Inheritance will greatly increase, even making success highly likely."

Yi Feng's fists clenched tightly.

Cutting off someone's path to death was like killing their parents.

He never expected this old man to be so malicious, not only jinxing him from the start but also giving him life-saving equipment.

And such an overpowered piece of equipment at that.

What a damned old beast!

His heart deserved to be punished.

"Old man, keep that talisman for your future disciple. I don't need it."

Yi Feng said sternly, not even glancing at the talisman, and turned to leave.

"Heh, this kid, I didn't expect him to refuse my Reincarnation Talisman. It makes me admire him even more! Not bad, quite the character, and full of courage. If you can come out of the inheritance without the talisman, I will definitely pass on all my skills to you."

The old man watched Yi Feng's resolute departure, stroking his beard with a look of admiration.

Hearing this, Yi Feng stumbled, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it.

Such a malicious person was truly a first in his life.

After returning, Yi Feng was in a bad mood for the entire day.

Being jinxed before the inheritance even started was really unlucky and inauspicious.

Yi Feng sat in the pavilion, sipping tea to calm his inner rage.

Meanwhile, Feng Qianyue was beside him, pouring tea and water.

At that moment, a young man in luxurious robes hurried in.

"Lingbei, why are you here?"

Feng Qianyue asked in surprise. The newcomer was her younger brother, Feng Lingbei.

Feng Lingbei had a grim expression and didn't speak at first, instead glancing at Yi Feng.

He didn't seem to have a good impression of Yi Feng.

"I asked you, why are you here?"

Feng Qianyue frowned and asked again.

"Sister, go beg Master to take back what was said earlier," Feng Lingbei said.

"Take it back?"

Feng Qianyue's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. "Since the decision has already been made, how can it be taken back?"

"But, but you'll lose your status as the next island master," Feng Lingbei said anxiously.

"I know."

Feng Qianyue glanced at Yi Feng, seemingly not wanting him to know about the bet she had made with Bai Ji regarding the Death Inheritance. She directly issued a dismissal, "I don't want to talk about this now. If you have nothing else, you can leave."

But Feng Lingbei didn't comply. Knowing that it was impossible to get Feng Qianyue to back down and ask their master to retract the bet, he turned his gaze to Yi Feng.

"You should leave. There's no way you'll pass the inheritance," Feng Lingbei said coldly.

"Oh?"

Yi Feng tilted his head.

"My sister is the next island master heir. Since you're close to her, if you pass the Death Inheritance, my sister will have you as her backing, and her competitor Bai Ji will naturally lose the right to compete for the next island master position. So, Bai Ji will definitely interfere before the inheritance begins."

"Even without interference, your chances of successfully inheriting are already low. With Bai Ji's interference, your mortality rate will be 100%."

"In other words, if you don't leave, entering the inheritance will mean certain death. There's no chance of survival."

"What's your surname?"

Yi Feng asked.

Yi Feng's question suddenly left Feng Lingbei dumbfounded.

I'm telling you such a serious matter, and instead of responding, you're asking this out of nowhere?

He said with a grim expression, "I'm my sister's younger brother, so of course, my surname is Feng."

"Ah, so it's Brother Feng."

Yi Feng stood up and warmly shook Feng Lingbei's hands. "Please, have a seat."

Without waiting for Feng Lingbei to react, Yi Feng enthusiastically pulled him to a seat and personally poured him a cup of tea.

This warm gesture left Feng Lingbei utterly confused.

Although he hadn't been too harsh with Yi Feng out of respect for his sister, he knew his tone earlier hadn't been friendly either.

Meanwhile, Feng Qianyue was also feeling uneasy.

She had been worried that her brother's disrespectful words would anger Yi Feng, but instead, Yi Feng not only didn't get angry but even warmly greeted Feng Lingbei.

Is this how the temperaments of powerful figures are? So unpredictable.

As the saying goes, the older the monster, the more unpredictable its mood.
