CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 31: ZHANG LINGFENG, COME WITH ME

When they learned that Ling Feng had cultivated the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique to the point of transformation and refined his transformed power to minor success without relying on potions to achieve a physical fitness of 25.23, even his mentor, Lin Qiying, couldn’t sit still.

Wang Dashan was eagerly asking everyone if Ling Feng could represent South City and compete with the martial arts students of Jiangbei Province.

Spear skills transformed, body tempering power transformed, two transformed powers, as long as either takes one more step forward and undergoes another transformation, Ling Feng could become either a Master of Gun Technique or a Body Tempering Master. If both transform simultaneously, it would be the dual perfection of spear skills and body tempering power.

Such a person, even if his combat power is inferior to some Bone Realm strong practitioners, his status and position are of the utmost importance.

"I don’t believe it!"

Until a voice broke Wang Dashan’s wild thoughts.

Lin Chengfeng said with a grim face: "Teacher, you’ve often said that cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall back. Anyone’s cultivation cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if Ling Feng has extraordinary talent, it’s impossible to surpass my junior sister so much in such a short time, even... to be on par with me!"

Lin Chengfeng clenched his fists.

As a direct disciple of Lin Qiying, with a physical fitness of 26.0, his combat power had long exceeded 80.0 and combined with his physical fitness, reached 125.2.

He initially wanted to teach Ling Feng a lesson for Qiu Kui but was stopped by Lin Qiying.

During this period, he had been diligently cultivating, attempting to awaken his flesh power. Although unsuccessful, he believes his current strength is enough to crush Ling Feng.

Even if Ling Feng’s combat power reaches 118.9 and his physical fitness is almost the same as his own, Ling Feng could not be his opponent.

Regardless of how others speak of Ling Feng’s prowess, he doesn’t care; he just wants to personally meet Ling Feng.

"What do you want?"

Lin Qiying asked.

"I want to fight Ling Feng. I’ll bring him here in front of all of you and let you see if his combat power is inflated. I don’t believe he can become this strong in such a short time, especially without much cultivation unless he took potions. A guy who relies on potions may have such a strong combat power in the short term, but he can’t control it. As soon as we fight, it’ll be exposed!"

Lin Chengfeng stated decisively.

"Alright."

Lin Qiying nodded. He also felt unconvinced, not believing Ling Feng could be so heaven-defying. Throughout this period, he wholeheartedly taught Qiu Kui and had Lin Chengfeng accompany her in training daily, yet Qiu Kui’s combat power only increased by a few points.

How could Ling Feng possibly rise so much all of a sudden?

"Master Zhuge, Principal Wang, what do you think?"

Lin Qiying looked at the two.

"Alright then!"

Marquis Zhuge also had doubts in his heart.

"As far as I know, your combat power has already exceeded 125.0."

Wang Dashan looked solemn, aware of Lin Chengfeng’s physical fitness reaching 26.0, which both he and Marquis Zhuge had heard earlier. This time, when Spi Jiang entered South City, Lin Chengfeng had even cooperated with Martial Hall personnel to search for him, but unexpectedly, Spi Jiang was killed by someone else first.

"I won’t hide it from Principal Wang; my combat power is 125.2, my Lone Wolf Saber Technique is at the Perfection Realm. With my strength, regardless of whether Ling Feng’s strength is inflated or not, I can detect it. If I hadn’t encountered Spi Jiang this time, the credit for killing him would definitely be attributed to me."

Lin Chengfeng boasted.

"Alright, since everyone has doubts, please take a trip, persuade him nicely and bring him over."

Wang Dashan nodded.

He knew Ling Feng had a stubborn personality; a strong-arm approach wouldn’t work; a soft approach was needed.

"Alright, Master and Master Zhuge, Principal Wang, wait for a moment. I will go and come back."

Lin Chengfeng clasped his fists.

Persuade nicely?

He didn’t listen to that.

In his view, if Ling Feng is unwilling to come over, that’s perfect; he could teach Ling Feng a hard lesson first and then bring him over to see what everyone says.

A mere high school martial arts student couldn’t possibly overturn anything in front of him.

"Senior brother, Ling Feng went to the Jiulong River for fishing."

Qiu Kui reminded.

"Alright, I know."

Lin Chengfeng stepped onto his flying skateboard and left.

Gone fishing?

Perfect, let Ling Feng drink some water.

...

By the Jiulong River.

Watching Yan Fei fall off the railing, roll down the slope of the riverbank into the Jiulong River, Ling Feng picked up the fishing rod, shouldered his fishing gear, and ran straight home without saying a word.

No matter what, Yan Fei is a respectable Body Tempering Master. In case he loses his temper, even if his combat power multiplies, he’s not a match for the old man’s strength.

But to enhance his power.

Gain more combat power.

Ling Feng shouted while running, "Even if it kills me, I won’t do it, no way!"

"Pft!"

Yan Fei emerged from the water, lying on the shore, listening to Ling Feng’s ghostly screams all the way, he couldn’t help but curse, "You brat, how dare you mess with me, just wait, believe it or not, I’ll chop you into pieces."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Fei felt a chill all over his body.

A shadow loomed over him.

Looking up, he saw the shadow with a ghostly face, looking down at him from above.

"Brother, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously!"

Only then did Yan Fei remember that Ling Feng had shadow protection personnel, particularly with this big change in combat power, the protection level must have increased significantly.

Although the shadow’s strength was not as great as his, he felt the shadow could fight him to the death.

The shadow said nothing, its figure merged with the light, and coupled with the hidden breath technique, it seemed to become invisible, quickly disappearing from Yan Fei’s sight, and chased after Ling Feng.

"Dare to mess with Lin Bei’s, there’s no justice anymore."

Yan Fei looked depressed. As Ling Feng looked at him eagerly, Yan Fei imagined Ling Feng becoming a body tempering master under his guidance, achieving success and fame, and also pictured himself introducing Ling Feng to Marquis Zhuge.

But that series of refusals left him utterly defenseless.

[You refuse to enter Yan Fei’s school to cultivate the body tempering technique, practicing the Coast Along path to the end, gaining 320 Coasting Along Value points.]

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng, carrying fishing gear and holding a fishing rod and net stick, ran along the riverbank and headed back to the Future City District, also seeing a line of text in front of him.

"Here it comes."

"Why is it only 320?"

"Could it be that Teacher Yan’s title as a master has some flaws?"

"No, no matter what, Teacher Yan is a renowned figure. Could the decrease in Coasting Along Value be because I intentionally teased Teacher Yan? And on that day, Master Zhuge personally came from home to the riverbank to find me."

Ling Feng realized the issue.

"I was too hasty. If I had been patient and slowly lured him, making Teacher Yan sincerely respectful like a marriage proposal, the Coasting Along Value I’d gain would have been as much as Teacher Zhuge’s, or possibly even higher."

Ling Feng sighed.

He couldn’t help but look at the panel information.

Name: Ling Feng

Profession: Dharma Martial Artist

Coasting Along Value: 342

Tidal Breathing Method: Great Success (42/100)

Thirteen Stances Perfection Spear Technique: Skilled (2/300)

Jade Sand Body Tempering Technique: Minor Success (155/300)

Physical Fitness: 25.23

Combat Power: 118.9

Skills: All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability, arms can increase by two hundred kilograms at any level, faster than others, all-weather body tempering ability, Heart Like Still Water.

"Now, my physical qualities can match my skills. Even if there’s a slight difference, once the Flesh Phase successfully starts, my physical fitness will advance to another level."

"The Flesh Phase is an awakening of power from within the flesh, evolving the blood and flesh. The power released and the improvement in physical qualities will far exceed the Skin Phase. Once the Flesh Phase is successfully awakened, the physical qualities could absolutely reach around 35.0 or even 40.0."

"So, the urgent matter is to continue to improve the level of spear technique skills."

Ling Feng thought to himself.

Thus, he added all 342 Coasting Along Value points to the spear technique skills.

Coasting Along Value: None

Thirteen Stances Perfection Spear Technique: Mastery (44/300)

Combat Power: 130.7

As physical qualities improve, the power of skills can be smoothly performed, and each level leap brings a significant change in combat power. Ling Feng even feels that his 25.23 physical fitness no longer matches the Perfection level of mastered skill power.

He must work hard to improve his physical fitness and find a way to activate the Flesh Phase as soon as possible, allowing this power to explode in a truly meaningful manner again.

"Ling Feng."

Suddenly, a very unpleasant voice came.

Lin Chengfeng, following the Jiulong River bank, stepping on a flying skateboard, finally found Ling Feng and blocked his path, full of anger.

He commanded in an indisputable tone, "I am Qiu Kui’s senior brother, and I now demand that you come with me!"
