That night, at midnight.
The supermarket's rolling shutter clattered shut, and Chen Feng waved goodbye to Aunt Zhang.
"I'm off, Aunt Zhang."
"Alright, Xiaofeng. Be careful on the way."
After parting ways, Chen Feng carried a large cardboard box and headed toward the old residential complex.
He had bought quite a lot today: two large bags of bread, a case of milk, two bags of frozen beef, and a box of Energy Bars.
He had casually found an empty cardboard box in the supermarket and packed everything into it.
Tap, tap!
Soon, footsteps echoed.
The streetlamp poles along the road were mottled and yellowed, their faint yellow light barely illuminating the street.
After walking for several minutes, Chen Feng no longer sensed any malice.
That confirmed that Tian Heng Society had temporarily stopped following him.
I wonder if Lin Hao can really find anything in three days.
The thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind as he recalled Lin Hao's promise.
There was not much he could do. He could only keep waiting.
Only after everything became clear would he know what to do.
Tap, tap!
His footsteps continued to sound.
Feeling a little hungry as he walked, he casually took two Energy Bars from the box, tore open their wrappers, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Crunch!
Crunch!
Crisp sounds rang out, but as he walked, Chen Feng noticed something was off.
"They didn't set up their stall tonight?"
Confusion flickered in his eyes. The familiar scent of barbecue was nowhere to be found.
Chen Feng casually glanced over. The roadside was empty, and the barbecue cart that was usually parked there had not appeared tonight.
"Damn it, we came all this way for nothing."
"What's up with that old bastard Lao Zhao? Why isn't he setting up tonight?"
"Forget it, forget it. Let's go somewhere else and keep the second round going."
Three or five drunken men cursed and grumbled. Chen Wei glanced at them.
"What the hell are you looking at, kid?!"
A middle-aged man shouted, seemingly emboldened by the alcohol.
Chen Feng's steps paused slightly as he looked at him coldly.
Their eyes met. The tall, sturdy young man stood with his back to the streetlamp, a massive shadow enveloping the area around him.
The air froze, and pressure rose.
In a daze, the other man felt as though a striped tiger had suddenly appeared before him.
"I..."
His eyes widened, and the drunk quickly began stammering, no longer daring to speak.
His companions also fell into a momentary lapse. No one dared to shout anymore.
"Interesting."
A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Feng's eyes as the Scarlet Tiger Flying Heaven Diagram in his mind remained condensed and lingering.
It had been an instinctive idea—to visualize that diagram while meeting the man's gaze.
He had not expected it to actually have some effect.
With that thought, he ignored the drunk whose face was pale with fright and continued walking. Before long, he returned home.
Click!
The door opened.
He put the items into the refrigerator one by one, then went to the bathroom and took a shower.
Not long after, Chen Feng dragged his tired body to bed and lay down.
"Limit Breaking Light Orb."
He entered the Dream World again and stood at the entrance of the apartment, where mist drifted about.
Chen Feng quickly expanded his Perception and searched for his target.
He desperately needed Limit Breaking Light Orbs right now.
The Flame Tiger Stance needed to break through Tiger Form.
Judo had yet to break through Mastery.
He also wanted to raise Exploding Fist to Proficient as soon as possible.
All of those required Limit Breaking Light Orbs to improve.
"Found it."
His gaze shifted as Chen Feng looked toward a newly unlocked area across from him.
It was a Basketball Court enclosed by an iron fence, near a park enveloped in mist, about twenty meters away.
Three pale red light orbs floated quietly above the court, as though beckoning to him enticingly.
"Very good."
Light flashed in his eyes, and Chen Feng immediately stepped forward.
Strength quietly gathered within his body, while the anticipated tap-tap of footsteps sounded continuously.
Without needing to look, Chen Feng knew that Faceless Ones came out one after another from the swirling mist to his left and right, surrounding him.
Whoosh!
This time, he did not passively meet their attack as before.
He swept his gaze over the six Faceless Ones around him—four men and two women.
Chen Feng bared his white teeth in a grin.
"Just right."
Whoosh!
With a stomp of his foot, he rushed out at high speed.
His entire body seemed to transform into a truck. He bent his arm and drove an Elbow Strike straight into the chest of the female Faceless One blocking his way.
Crack! Bones fractured.
Without even raising his head, Chen Feng's expression remained indifferent. His left arm swung back, his fist Clenching as it smashed down in a Whip Fist.
Bang!
He blocked a vicious claw strike, sending the attacker staggering backward.
Tap, tap, tap!
Immediately afterward, the remaining four Faceless Ones rushed at him. One of them even carried a metal baseball bat.
A cold glint appeared in Chen Feng's eyes. His left foot braced against the ground as he spun and kicked.
Whoosh!
The muscles in his thick right leg tensed, and his foot struck two people like an iron plate.
Bang! Bang!
The two figures flew backward in an Instant.
Feeling a whistling sound tearing through the air behind him, a chill rose in his heart.
Chen Feng recalled the Flame Tiger Stance he had practiced today. His body sank as he immediately dropped into a horse stance and turned sideways, taking the stance of a crouching tiger.
Whoosh!
The metal baseball bat swept past his shoulder, but his center of gravity remained steady.
Looking at the Faceless One's pale, featureless face, his will as cold and calm as ice, only one thought flashed through his mind.
"Exploding Fist!"
Buzz!
Muscles stacked layer upon layer, their lines deep and pronounced like waves.
In an Instant, Chen Feng's right arm seemed to thicken by several degrees before it rapidly turned into a fierce, explosive strike.
Boom!!
The sound shook the air. A figure flew backward and knocked another person over at the same time.
Chen Feng's gaze was cold. He turned and reached backward, his five fingers taut and curled like hooks. With the force of tiger claws, he tore through another Faceless One's clothes and grabbed its shoulder and waist.
"Up!"
His cold shout echoed as veins bulged along Chen Feng's arms.
In an Instant, the last Faceless One was lifted high overhead by both of his arms, reaching the highest point.
His spine tightened, and strength surged through his waist and back.
The next second.
Chen Feng swung both arms and slammed the Faceless One into the ground.
Bang!!!
The heavy muffled sound shook the ground.
All the Faceless Ones fell to the ground. Chen Feng stood where he was and let out a light breath.
"Amateur Fifth Rank."
A glint flashed in his eyes. These six Faceless Ones were almost all at that level.
Even he could not help feeling some pressure.
"This is only six of them. If their numbers keep increasing in the future, and their strength rises with them, they'll be hard to deal with."
The thought flashed through his mind. Although he felt that such growth could not continue forever and would eventually have a limit.
Chen Feng still felt a trace of urgency.
Tap, tap!
Then danger came through his Perception, and he quickly stepped back and dodged.
Six black streaks brushed past him, while the screeches of insect ants became increasingly unpleasant.
"It seems these insect ants have changed a little too?"
He raised his brows and carefully sensed the changes in the insect ants within the large pool of Black Water on the ground.
They seemed to have grown just a tiny bit larger?
Could these insect ants also have different strength levels?
The thought arose, but Chen Feng could not find an answer.
In the end, he looked at the six Gray Light Orbs, quickly suppressed all distracting thoughts, strode over, and absorbed them.
And this time, his Perception Talent finally underwent a tremendous transformation.
You have obtained six Talent Light Orbs: Perception! Perception +6! Talent: Perception lv2 (1/100)
