Lu Feng’s eyes turned cold, and the Flame God Halberd transformed into a fiery wheel.
First, the halberd’s tail struck the left henchman’s throat, then he swung it around, sending the right henchman flying, and finally the halberd’s tip pierced Barek’s abdomen—
His movements were fluid and graceful, as if he had anticipated the three men’s attack.
“UGHH!”
Barek knelt down and vomited blood, and his two henchmen also collapsed to the ground.
Just then, Hughes extinguished the flames on his body, and upon seeing this, his eyes widened in fury:
“I want you dead!”
Ignoring his injuries, he pounced again, his wolf claws plunging straight for his heart.
Lu Feng suddenly changed his move; instead of thrusting straight at the Flame God Halberd, he cleverly guided and deflected it.
Hughes was unable to stop in time and was thrown forward.
Lu Feng dodged to the side, and the halberd shaft slammed heavily into his back.
“puff–”
Hughes coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, struggling twice before becoming still again.
The entire market was deathly silent.
The vegetable vendor didn’t even notice her spoon fall to the ground, and Old Man Wang’s mouth was agape, and he forgot to close it.
Everyone stared in shock at the red-haired youth standing with his halberd and the four unconscious people at his feet.
Lu Feng sheathed the Flame God Halberd and surveyed the silent market.
Wherever the eye could see, people lowered their heads and made way.
Lu Feng walked up to Hughes, the tip of the Flame God Halberd pointed at his throat, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:
“Hand over all the money you have, or you won’t be able to pay for the damage!”
Hughes looked up abruptly, a flash of anger in his eyes.
But when he met Lu Feng’s cold gaze and the halberd radiating intense soul power, he finally slumped down in defeat.
“I’ll pay for it…”
He gritted his teeth, his hands trembling as he pulled a bulging money pouch from his pocket, and then winked at Barek.
Barek’s face turned pale.
He hurriedly took off his own money pouch and presented it along with the money pouches of his two henchmen, stammering:
“Young master…this…this is all our possessions…”
Lu Feng used the tip of his halberd to lightly pry open the four money pouches and gather them all into his hand.
Lu Feng weighed it in his hand; it was heavy, containing a considerable amount of silver and bronze soul coins, and even three gold soul coins.
He looked coldly at Hughes and Barek:
“Remember this lesson.
If you mess with me again, or cause trouble for these vendors…”
Lu Feng flicked his wrist, and the tip of the Flame God Halberd flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
“Next time, it won’t just be bones that are broken.”
Hughes’ face turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Lu Feng’s gaze, and said repeatedly:
“I won’t dare!
I’ll never dare again!
Thank you for showing mercy, young master!”
Barek and his followers kowtowed repeatedly, swearing never to do it again.
“Get lost.”
Lu Feng put away the Flame God Halberd and said calmly.
Hughes and his companions felt as if they had been granted a pardon.
They scrambled to their feet in a disheveled state, pushed through the crowd without looking back, and fled in a staggering manner.
The tense atmosphere in the market only eased when their figures disappeared around the street corner.
The vendors breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe as they looked at Lu Feng.
Old Wang walked forward shakily, his calloused hands tightly gripping Lu Feng’s arm, his eyes reddening:
“Xiao Feng…
if it weren’t for you today, we old bones would probably have been torn apart by those thugs!”
Lu Feng gently patted the old man’s trembling hand, his gaze sweeping over the other two vendors whose stalls had been vandalized—
An old woman selling pottery was squatting on the ground picking up shards, while an old man selling bamboo crafts stared blankly at the handicrafts scattered all over the ground.
He silently divided the coins in his purse into four portions, keeping one portion for himself and carefully wrapping the other three portions in cloth.
“Uncle Wang, this is what you deserve.”
Lu Feng stuffed one portion of the money into the old man’s hand, and then handed the other two portions to the other two vendors.
“Compensation for damaged stalls.”
The three elderly people held the heavy money bags, tears streaming down their wrinkled faces.
The old woman selling pottery choked up as she said:
“This…how can this be…those thugs always take and smash things for free, they’ve never seen anyone lose money…”
“You mustn’t, my little benefactor!”
The old man who was making bamboo weaving was about to kneel down when Lu Feng steadily supported his arm.
“There’s no need for that, everyone.”
He tucked the money he had left behind into his pocket, then turned and left, leaving three elderly people holding the money bag in a daze.
Lu Feng turned into a deserted alley.
As he leaned against the cold wall, a clear notification sounded in his mind:
[Ding!
Congratulations, host, the shocking mission has been successfully completed!]
[265 points of valid shock value collected on-site.]
[Quest reward: 2 Mystic Water Pills, already issued.]
[Current total shock value: 390 points.]
Lu Feng opened his palm and saw two dark blue pills lying there quietly.
The pill emitted a refreshing and invigorating aroma, slightly dispelling the lingering heat from using the Fiery Slash.
Simply by holding them, one can feel that the flow of soul power within the body seems to become smoother.
“Mystic Water Pill…”
He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
According to the system description, this pill can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the soul, making it an excellent item for stabilizing one’s foundation.
Lu Feng did not take the medicine immediately, but instead looked at the system interface.
390 Shock Points, enough for three regular lottery draws.
“System, conduct three regular lottery draws.”
[Ding!
300 Shock Points consumed, starting a regular lottery draw…]
The illusory image of the roulette wheel spun rapidly in my mind.
[Congratulations, host!
You have received: 10 Gold Soul Coins!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: a set of exquisite clothing!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 1 bottle of the healing elixir, Tai Xuan Pill!]
A flash of light appeared, revealing ten gleaming gold coins, a neatly folded crimson outfit, and a small white jade bottle on the ground.
Lu Feng picked up the jade bottle, uncorked it, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, invigorating the senses.
Inside the bottle were a dozen or so milky-white pills, each about the size of a longan.
“Tai Xuan Pill…
a holy medicine for healing injuries, this is wonderful.
I won’t have to worry about getting injured again next time.”
Lu Feng put on the red outfit and put away the coins and jade bottle.
This windfall and supplies solved many of his current predicaments.
Once he was ready, he adjusted his breathing to restore himself to peak condition, then picked up a Mystic Water Pill and put it in his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a cool yet powerful torrent that surged through the body in an instant!
Unlike the violent power of the Soul Condensing Pill, this power is more enduring and profound.
Wherever it passes, the meridians seem to be washed by a clear spring, and impurities are slowly flushed out of the body, bringing a sense of clarity and comfort.
At the same time, a cool sensation flowed into his dantian, merging with his originally fiery soul power.
This process lasted for about an hour.
After the medicine was fully absorbed, Lu Feng opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He could clearly feel that his soul power had become more condensed and pure, and its total amount had also increased significantly!
“My soul power has reached level fourteen!”
Lu Feng was overjoyed.
“Moreover, the circulation of soul power seems to be smoother and more free, and the cultivation speed has indeed improved.”
He felt the more balanced and stable state of water and fire within his body after they merged, and he was even more eager to see the effects of the second Mystic Water Pill.
Without pausing for long, Lu Feng picked up the second Mystic Water Pill and swallowed it again.
However, this time the feeling was quite different.
The medicine was still cooling, and although it brought some nourishing effects after flowing into the meridians, the increase in soul power was far less than the first time.
He only pushed his soul power to the peak of level fourteen, still just one step away from level fifteen.
The improvement in cultivation speed was also negligible, almost imperceptible.
(TL: wonder where in the timeline he is..
he is 6.5 according to earlier chapters, so does this mean hes gonna be like Oscars age or something?
Cause xiao wu being the dumbass she is basically fell in love with tang san almost instantly after meeting, even if it was not officially love it was definitely interest so mc would have to be there before that even happens and that event was the first say of school… so it’s a tough job to do…)
