A short while later, Su Yun finally finished her massive feast, pushing her final empty plate away with a contented sigh.
Chen Feng tossed a few of his glowing silver nuggets onto the table to settle the extravagant bill, earning a deeply respectful bow from the waiter, and the two of them stepped out of the restaurant into the bustling streets of Yunyang Town.
As they walked, Chen Feng glanced sideways at his young disciple, and a look of genuine surprise crossed his face.
The skeletal, hollow-cheeked beggar girl from earlier had vanished entirely. Thanks to the staggering amount of high-grade spiritual nourishment she had just consumed, a healthy, rosy glow had bloomed across her smooth, porcelain skin.
Her frame had filled out just enough to give her a youthful, delicate charm, and her large, expressive eyes shone with newfound vitality. With her sheer veil gently swaying in the breeze, she now looked like a refined young lady from a prestigious scholarly family rather than a street urchin.
"Good grief" Chen Feng muttered to himself, highly impressed.
With the sun beginning to dip below the horizon, Chen Feng knew they couldn’t wander the streets forever, especially with the Beggar Sect potentially sniffing around.
He led Su Yun to a reputable, quiet local inn near the edge of the commercial district.
Stepping up to the counter, Chen Feng smoothly dropped a silver nugget onto the polished wood, speaking in a low, authoritative voice. "Two clean rooms on the upper floor, please."
The innkeeper’s eyes lit up at the sight of genuine silver, and he quickly handed over two sets of wooden room keys. "Right away, esteemed guest! Yours are right next to each other for convenience."
Minutes later, they settled onto the second floor. Chen Feng escorted Su Yun to her door, making sure she was settled in safely.
"Master, I think I should sleep in your room... on the floor."
Su yun said this earnestly.
Chen Feng froze for a moment.
"There’s no need for that. Go sleep in your own room. You’ve probably been sleeping on the streets for a long time. Now that you have a proper place to stay, you should get used to sleeping on a bed."
He had spent far too long sleeping on the streets himself. If there was finally a comfortable bed waiting for him, he certainly wasn’t going to give it up.
And there was no way he would let Su yun sleep on the floor after everything she had been through.
"But, Master," Suyoon said, "a disciple should always stay close to their master and serve them. If you need anything during the night, I can get up and bring it to you."
Chen Feng shook his head.
"Go to your room and rest. I want some privacy."
Su yun looked at her master one more time before nodding.
"Alright, Master. If you need anything, just call for me. I’ll come immediately."
Chen Feng nodded.
"Just get some proper rest."
He gently ushered her toward her room before turning back.
Finally, he opened the wooden door to his own room.
The room had the simple but elegant style of an old Chinese residence. A wooden bed stood against the wall, covered with a thick quilt and neatly arranged pillows.
A small wooden table sat beside it, with a ceramic oil lamp resting on top. A simple wardrobe and a few wooden shelves occupied the other side of the room, while a folding screen decorated with traditional patterns separated the sleeping area from the entrance.
The warm glow of the oil lamp filled the room with a peaceful atmosphere.
Chen Feng looked at the bed.
After spending so long sleeping on the streets, this sight almost brought tears to his eyes.
"Finally... a proper bed."
But he didn’t have time to rest.
His entire life had changed in a single day.
Now, he needed to focus on everything he had gained and make sure he fully understood what was in his hands before making any further plans.
Chen Feng sat quietly at the desk, using the warm glow of the oil lamp to inspect everything he had gained so far.
With a thought, he opened his system interface.
A translucent panel appeared before him, displaying his current status and assets.
[Personal Status]
Martial Realm: Second-Rate Martial Artist
Condition: Stabilized
Martial Talent: None
Cultivation Talent: None
Investment Points: 700
Chen Feng’s gaze lingered on the last line.
Seven hundred Investment Points.
This was his most valuable resource. If used properly, they could greatly accelerate his mastery of martial techniques.
He then moved his attention to the next section.
[Martial Techniques & Skills]
Heavenly Eagle Transformation Technique
Grade: High
Mastery: 4%
Effect: Enhances eyesight, agility, reflexes, and control over the body. Allows the user to move naturally with the wind and perceive fast movements with greater clarity.
Heavenly Cleaver Knife Technique

Mastery: 0%
Effect: A precise knife technique focused on wrist control, accuracy, and explosive cutting power.
Chen Feng nodded slowly.
He had obtained quite a few techniques in a single day.
Unfortunately, having techniques and mastering them were two completely different things.
His gaze then shifted toward his wealth.
[Financial Assets]
Copper Coins: 190
Silver Nuggets: 29
Then his gaze fell on the last power.
[Secret-Seeking Eyes — Low Grade]
Description: A special eye technique that allows the user to see basic information about people, animals, objects, and other targets.
Chen Feng already knew that the Heavenly Eagle Transformation Technique contained three moves:
Heavenly Eagle Sight.
Eagle Step.
Skyfall Strike.
Of the three, he had already used Heavenly Eagle Sight.
Once activated, his vision became similar to that of an eagle, allowing him to see things with extraordinary clarity.
However, there was one problem.
He couldn’t deactivate it.
His eyes remained permanently changed, retaining that sharp, eagle-like appearance.
"As for Eagle Step and Skyfall Strike..."
Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"Those are probably the two offensive abilities I need to focus on."
He had to master them properly.
Then his attention shifted to the last ability.
Secret-Seeking Eyes.
"How do I activate this?"
The moment the thought crossed his mind, something strange happened.
His black-brown eyes suddenly changed.
A faint blue color spread across his irises, followed by a strange blue glow.
Chen Feng blinked.
"My eyes..."
A slight itch appeared in his eyes, making him instinctively rub them.
He then looked toward the mirror.
The moment he looked at his reflection, a strange panel suddenly appeared in his vision.
[Ordinary Bronze Mirror]
Description: A common mirror made from polished bronze. Its surface can reflect the appearance of objects placed before it.
Chen Feng froze.
"So that’s how it works?"
He looked around the room.
As his gaze landed on different objects, descriptions automatically appeared in his vision.
[Wooden Table]
Description: A simple wooden table made from ordinary timber. Suitable for placing objects and writing.
His eyes shifted toward the chair.
[Wooden Chair]
Description:A commonly used currency in the surrounding region. Suitable for ordinary daily transactions.
"This ability can actually identify things?"
Suddenly, the itching in Chen Feng’s eyes became much stronger.
A faint burning sensation followed.
He quickly closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened them again.
The blue glow was gone.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.
"So there really is a time limit."
He thought for a moment.
"Perhaps I can only use it for ten or twenty seconds at a time. Any longer than that, and my eyes can’t handle it."
He rubbed his eyes thoughtfully.
"But will its duration increase as my strength improves?"
Suddenly, a thought crossed Chan Feng’s mind.
"If these eyes can show me the description of anything, then can they show me the description of that thing as well?"
