Name: Lin Feng Cultivation Art: Vajra Art Cultivation: Outer Refinement Realm—Bone Forging (41/200)+ Divine Ability 1: Ingestion Divine Ability 2: Avert Calamity Techniques: Tiger Roar Fist (2/20)+ Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing (20/20)+ Gale Leg Technique (20/20)+ Iron Shirt (1/40)+ Upgrade Points: 0
After another round of adding points.
Lin Feng added the remaining 40 points to his cultivation column, then put the final point into Iron Shirt.
Based on the experience he had summarized, using points to break through a realm was the most worthwhile method.
The strength gained from a breakthrough advanced by leaps and bounds.
Adding points without breaking through, on the other hand, was like slowly laying a foundation. It was not nearly as obvious.
Just like now: he had raised his cultivation to 41 points, placing him at the early Bone Forging Realm. Another 10 points would let him break through into the middle stage of Bone Forging.
The strength within his body had increased.
But it was probably only a third of what that previous breakthrough had given him.
It was far inferior to the effect of that single point just now.
And after adding one point to Iron Shirt, his Iron Shirt had now reached the entry level!
Not only had his skin become incomparably tough, but his bones had grown even harder as well!
"If I took Xu Qiang's strike again now, it probably wouldn't be so difficult! But judging by what he showed, he should be at least at the Late Bone Forging stage!
He clearly hadn't used his full strength in that move this afternoon.
If he did use his full strength...
It would still be difficult if I ran into him!"
Lin Feng analyzed.
"But as long as I'm given a little more time and advance to the middle Bone Forging stage, or even the late stage...
Crushing Xu Qiang to death would definitely be easy!"
Kaiyang County's Inner City and Outer City were not actually divided by an additional city wall.
Yet everyone knew that the area centered on the county office and extending five li outward in every direction belonged to the Inner City!
That was because every county's County Magistrate possessed a treasure used to fight Monsters.
Not only could this treasure sense the aura of Monsters, it was also a sharp weapon for killing them.
And when it was not deliberately activated, its range was roughly five li.
There had been incidents in the Inner City throughout Kaiyang County's history, but they had basically all been calamities that destroyed the city.
Small disturbances were rarely seen.
Once something happened in the Inner City, it basically meant that the entire county would be slaughtered clean by Monsters!
Since Kaiyang County had been built, it had been destroyed and rebuilt several times.
The Xu Family lived in the area closest to the Inner City.
Xu San looked at his son, whose face had swollen into a pig's head and whose two arms and one good leg had all suffered comminuted fractures.
His heart ached terribly!
He had spent a great deal of silver hiring physicians in the city, and only after a long time had they managed to set all the bones back in place.
But returning to the same agility as before...
Was impossible!
And the treatment process just now had been agonizing beyond measure.
Xu Xiong had hurt so badly that he directly lost control of both his bowels and bladder! His face was deathly pale.
The sight made Xu San's heart ache unbearably.
How could he possibly leave such a grudge unavenged?
"Second Brother, how did that brat suddenly enter the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp?"
Xu San asked his younger brother, Xu Qiang.
"This matter should be connected to the Zhao Family! Otherwise, no matter how strong that brat is, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter the Demon Purging Division!"
Xu Qiang said with a helpless look.
The Zhao Family was not something a small lineage like theirs could compare to.
"Even if it is connected to the Zhao Family, are we just supposed to let this matter go? Xiong'er carries the blood of our Xu Family!
As his second uncle, can you just watch him get beaten like this?"
Xu San suppressed his voice as he questioned his younger brother.
After all, the Xu Family was still being supported by this younger brother of his.
Though he himself was also at the early Bone Forging stage.
In terms of social standing, Xu Qiang was a Captain of constables.
In terms of strength, he was at the late Bone Forging Realm.
Before his younger brother, Xu San still fell a notch short!
"Big Brother, I know! But now isn't the time. That brat is now a trainee of the Demon Purging Division. If this isn't handled properly and we're discovered...
Forget Xiong'er—our entire Xu Family, you and I included, will have to be buried with him!"
Xu Qiang also cherished Xu Xiong as if he were his own son.
But he had retained his rationality.
"I think these past ten-odd years of good living have made you weak and afraid of death!
Back then, the two of us brothers even took down the Zhang Family!
And now you're afraid of some brat in the Skin Tempering Realm?"
Xu San was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Qiang's conduct and grumbled at him harshly.
"I think you've gone mad! If the Chief Constable hadn't supported us from behind back then, could we have taken down the Zhang Family?
This is the Demon Purging Division!!!
It is an existence even the Chief Constable dares not offend, one the County Magistrate must give three parts respect to!"
Xu Qiang said coldly, deeply helpless toward his elder brother.
His gaze was gloomy, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to bare its fangs at any time.
"I'll handle this matter. When the time comes, we'll have the Green Snake Gang test the waters first!
But we must wait. We need to find an opportunity to wipe out their entire household!"
Hearing his younger brother's explanation, Xu San calmed down as well.
His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, Lin Feng got up early and went straight to the Slaughterhouse +2.
Lin Feng had not originally told Old Wu San about joining the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp yesterday.
But after Xu Xiong's disturbance, they had already heard the rumors.
When Lin Feng arrived and Old Wu San confirmed it, everyone at the Slaughterhouse was stunned.
They had never expected Lin Feng to be a martial arts genius!
No wonder he made slaughtering pigs look so good!
And had such great strength!
But why Lin Feng still came to the Slaughterhouse was something Old Wu San could not understand.
He had thought Lin Feng would quit this job!
"Uncle Wu, no matter how small mosquito flesh is, it is still meat! No one would complain about having too much money.
Besides, plenty of people in the Demon Purging Division have side jobs too.
There's no need to make such a fuss.
It's only half an hour!"
Lin Feng explained with a smile.
Old Wu San and the others were merely honest commoners to begin with. Once Lin Feng explained it, they believed him.
The other party had now joined the Demon Purging Division and was a grand master. Could he possibly have any intention of deceiving little people like them?
Seeing that Lin Feng had not forgotten his original intentions and remained so respectful toward him, without becoming arrogant and overbearing because his status had changed.
Old Wu San's eyes filled with praise.
But though Lin Feng was still the same as before, Old Wu San could no longer act as he had before.
Whenever he faced Lin Feng, he unconsciously became a little restrained.
He even directly replaced the pig offal with better marbled pork.
Lin Feng did not take it for free. He paid silver for it.
With his current wealth, eating some pork was no problem.
After returning home and changing clothes, he entered the Inner City and headed for the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp.
When Lin Feng arrived at the camp, he finally understood that the two gatekeepers were older, low-ranking trainees.
They had been in the Reserve Camp for more than ten years, always stuck in the Tendon Strengthening Realm.
They were considered the bottom rung of the Reserve Camp.
In terms of potential, they could not compare to new trainees.
In terms of strength, they could not compare to veteran trainees in the Blood Exchange and Marrow Cleansing realms.
Thus, they could only do the hardest and least respectable work.
"Haha, Brother Lin is here!"
The guard who had taken Lin Feng's silver yesterday seemed like a completely different person upon seeing him and proactively greeted him.
"Brother Chen! Brother Zhang!"
Lin Feng cupped his fists toward the two men.
Chen Fei took out five taels of silver from his robe and wanted to return it to Lin Feng.
"Brother Lin, we offended you yesterday! This silver..."
"Brother Chen, you're being too serious. This is only proper. I said I'd treat you two elder brothers to drinks. If you return it...
Then you'd be looking down on me, Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng stopped Chen Fei, then cupped his fists to both men again before walking into the camp.
"This kid truly came from the bottom. He isn't like those young masters from wealthy families!
I just hope he doesn't end up in our team!"
After Lin Feng had gone far away, Chen Fei sighed.
Before long, Lin Feng arrived at the training ground. Today, their batches of new trainees would be assigned under several Banner Chiefs.
Following which Banner Chief could make an enormous difference!
