After cleaning up the mess in the courtyard, Lu Feng sat cross-legged on the bluestone slab and meditated for a while.
After his breathing stabilized, he solemnly took out the golden, shimmering chrysanthemum from the system space.
The petals felt warm to the touch, and trembled slightly as if they were alive.
Lu Feng took a deep breath and plucked the spiral-shaped petals one by one, putting them into his mouth.
The petals melt in his mouth, transforming into a sweet and refreshing stream that slides down your throat.
At first, there was no particular feeling, but after a few breaths, a gentle yet powerful energy slowly rose from the dantian.
This energy is not violent, but it is as long and continuous as the tide.
Lu Feng quickly activated the “Primordial Chaos Technique” to guide the medicinal power.
A faint golden halo gradually emanated from his body, and it seemed as if golden light was flowing beneath his skin.
The most obvious change occurred in the bones—a series of crisp crackling sounds emanated from within the body, as the power of the immortal herbs reshaped the muscles and bones.
At the same time, fine gray impurities were expelled from the pores all over the body, emitting a faint fishy smell.
This process lasted for a full day and night.
Throughout the process, Lu Feng maintained a clear mind and guided the medicinal power to cleanse the eight extraordinary meridians.
When dawn broke again, he suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light in them, and his entire demeanor was completely different!
Lu Feng clenched his fist lightly, and the air was squeezed out in a sonic boom!
Feeling the surging soul power within his body—it had already reached level twenty-seven!
The spiritual power of the “Primordial Chaos Technique” is also more profound and pure, blending seamlessly with the soul power to form a perfect cycle within the body.
Lu Feng stood up, stretched his limbs slightly, and his joints made a crisp cracking sound.
A sense of power far exceeding anything he had ever felt filled his entire body, as if he could split mountains and shatter rocks with a single punch.
“Now, even if I encounter a low-level Soul Master, I have the strength to fight.”
Lu Feng muttered to himself, but there was no trace of arrogance in his eyes.
His sudden surge in strength actually made him more clear-headed.
‘My understanding of martial Souls is still very superficial.
I have to figure out basic concepts like the best ratio of Soul Rings and the combination of Soul Skills on my own.’
The cries of vendors drifted in from outside the window, and Lu Feng suddenly remembered the hot topic of conversation in the streets recently:
“I heard that the Tian Dou Royal Academy will be recruiting students next month…”
Once the thought arises, it grows wildly like weeds.
Lu Feng opened his storage space, where nearly a thousand gold soul coins were piled up like a mountain in the corner.
This wealth was enough to support him for several years of study at any Academy.
“Working behind closed doors is never the right way.”
He recalled the trident of the sea god at Jialing Pass, which blotted out the sky.
“To change one’s fate, one must systematically learn the way of the Soul Master.”
Before leaving, Lu Feng made a special trip to the west of the city to visit Mr.
and Mrs.
Chen.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door, one finds an old man hunched over mending fishing nets, and an old woman cooking porridge in front of the stove.
Upon seeing Lu Feng, the old man’s cloudy eyes immediately lit up:
“Xiao Feng’s here?
Come sit down!
Grandma will serve you a bowl of fish porridge!”
Lu Feng placed the heavy money bag on the polished wooden table:
“Uncle Chen, I’m planning to study at the Soul Master Academy.
Please keep this money, both of you.”
The old man opened the money bag and gasped in surprise; inside were a hundred gold soul coins!
He hurriedly refused, saying, “How can you do this!
It’s not easy for you to save money selling grilled fish…”
“If it weren’t for the two elders rescuing me, I would have frozen to death on the snowfield long ago.”
Lu Feng stuffed the money bag into the old man’s trembling hands.
“You two must accept this money.”
The old woman wiped her eyes with her apron: “Good child…be careful when you’re out and about.”
…
As Lu Feng walked back to his rented courtyard on the bluestone path after leaving Old Man Chen’s house, his thoughts were still immersed in planning for the future.
Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter came from the street corner ahead, accompanied by undisguised fluctuations of soul power.
He looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted—
A group of people dressed in Ice Sword Sect attire were seen escorting a child in brocade robes as they walked towards them.
Surrounded by a crowd of admirers, with a sharp and arrogant look in his eyes, who else could it be but Lu Jing?
The old man beside him with a sinister face and a powerful aura was none other than Lu Kang, an elder of the Ice Sword Sect and a level 43 Soul Master!
The other six were also disciples of sects at the Soul Grand Master level.
‘What a small world!’
Lu Feng sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, continuing to walk past them without stopping.
“Oh!
Who do we have here?”
Lu Jing’s exaggerated voice rang out, tinged with feigned surprise, as he took a step forward, blocking Lu Feng’s path.
He sized Lu Feng up and down, his eyes flashing with jealousy and resentment, but a twisted smile appeared on his face:
“Isn’t this my good brother, Lu Feng?
Tsk tsk, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack!
“I, your younger brother, am just visiting the city, and somehow I run into a stray dog like you?”
Lu Feng stopped and looked at him calmly.
In his mind, however, flashed back to the scene of Lu Jing repeatedly sending people to beat and humiliate him after he was expelled from the sect in his previous life.
A chilling killing intent surged within him, but he forcefully suppressed it, speaking only calmly:
“My good brother, you, the true young master of the Lu family, why aren’t you enjoying your life in the sect?
What are you doing here looking for a ‘good-for-nothing’ like me who’s been kicked out?”
Seeing Lu Feng so calm, Lu Jing’s fake smile vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised ferocity.
He stopped pretending and pointed at Lu Feng’s nose, cursing:
“A piece of trash is a piece of trash!
Stop pretending to be something you’re not!”
“Lu Feng, you think you’re safe just because you left the Ice Sword Sect?
I just don’t like you!”
Lu Jing suddenly stepped on a puddle of wet mud by the roadside, splashing dirt everywhere.
He pointed to the tips of his jeweled boots and said fiercely:
“Right now, kneel down before me!
Lick the mud off my shoes!
Otherwise…”
Lu Jing gave Lu Kang and the disciples behind him a cold glance.
“Today I’ll break both your legs and throw you into a pile of beggars, so you can truly become a piece of trash!”
He gave a timely snort, and the Soul Ancestor’s pressure emanated faintly, locking onto Lu Feng like a cold, venomous snake.
The other six Soul Grand Masters also spread out in a fan shape, subtly surrounding Lu Feng, their faces showing a playful, cat-and-mouse expression.
Upon seeing this, the local civilians were already too frightened to approach and kept their distance.
For a moment, the street became unusually quiet, filled with an atmosphere of impending conflict.
A cold glint flashed in Lu Feng’s eyes, and he was about to teach this arrogant “younger brother” a lesson when a chilling system notification sounded in his mind first:
[bite!]
[Congratulations, host, for activating the Shocking Mission: Defeat and shock the Ice Sword Sect team led by Lu Jing and Lu Kang with overwhelming force!]
[Quest Reward: Soul Ascension Pill x1]
[Failure Penalty: Soul Power Level reduced by 2 levels!]
“Accept the mission!”
Lu Feng roared in response in his mind almost instantly.
With old and new grudges intertwined, he no longer hesitated!
“Will you lick my shoes?”
Lu Feng suddenly took a step forward, his speed so fast that only a blur remained.
“You dare to challenge me?!”
Before he could finish speaking, his right hand had already swung out before Lu Jing could even react in his astonished gaze!
