Name: Lin Feng

Cultivation Technique: Vajra Art

Cultivation Realm: Outer Refinement Realm - Bone Forging (41/200)+

Divine Ability 1: Consume

Divine Ability 2: Avert Calamity

Tiger Roar Fist (2/20)+

Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing (20/20)+

Gale Leg Technique (20/20)+

Iron Shirt (1/40)+

Improvement Points: 0

After another round of adding points.

Lin Feng added the remaining 40 points to his cultivation realm and the last remaining point to the Iron Shirt.

Based on his experience, adding points to break through realms was the most cost-effective way.

The strength gained from breaking through a realm was a leap forward.

Adding points without breaking through was like slowly laying a foundation; it wasn't as obvious.

Like now, he had increased his cultivation realm to 41 points, placing him in the early stage of Bone Forging. With another 10 points, he could break through to the middle stage of Bone Forging.

The strength within his body had increased.

But it was estimated to be only about one-third of the increase from his previous breakthrough.

It was far from the effectiveness of that one point.

And after adding one point to the Iron Shirt, he had now achieved Iron Shirt mastery!

Not only had his skin become incredibly tough, but his bones had also become much harder!

"Now, if I take another hit from Xu Qiang, it shouldn't be as difficult! But judging by his performance, he should be at least in the late stage of Bone Forging!

He wasn't using his full strength in that move this afternoon.

If he had used his full strength...

Facing him is still difficult!"

Lin Feng analyzed.

"But as long as I'm given some more time, and advance to the middle stage, or even the late stage of Bone Forging.

Crushing Xu Qiang will definitely be easy!"

In Kaiyang County, the inner city and outer city weren't separated by an actual wall.

But everyone knew that the area within a five-mile radius, centered around the county yamen, belonged to the inner city!

This was because the County Magistrate of every county possessed a treasure that could counter Monsters.

This treasure could not only sense the aura of Monsters but was also a sharp weapon for killing them.

And when it wasn't intentionally activated, its range was about five miles.

In the history of Kaiyang County, incidents in the inner city had occurred, but they were usually catastrophic disasters.

Minor skirmishes were rare.

Once the inner city was in trouble, it basically meant that the entire county would be slaughtered by Monsters!

Since its construction, Kaiyang County had been destroyed and rebuilt several times.

The Xu Family lived in a place closest to the inner city.

Xu San looked at his son, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and whose two arms and one good leg were all shattered.

His heart ached terribly!

He had spent a lot of silver and hired doctors from the city to treat him for a long time to mend all the bones.

But for him to be as nimble as before.

It was impossible!

Moreover, the treatment process had been incredibly painful.

Xu Xiong had lost control of his bowels and bladder from the pain, his face was extremely pale.

Seeing this made Xu San's heart ache even more.

How could he not seek revenge for such a grievance?

"Second brother, how did that kid suddenly get into the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp?"

Xu San said to his younger brother, Xu Qiang.

"This matter must be related to the Zhao family! Otherwise, no matter how strong that kid is, it would be impossible for him to get into the Demon Purging Division!"

Xu Qiang said with a helpless expression.

The Zhao family was not something their small family could compare to.

"Even if it's related to the Zhao family, are we just going to let it go? Xiong'er is of our Xu family bloodline! As his second uncle, can you just watch him get beaten like that?"

Xu San suppressed his voice and questioned his brother. After all, his younger brother was still the one supporting the Xu family! Although he himself was also at the early stage of Bone Forging. But in terms of social status, Xu Qiang was the captain of constables. In terms of strength, he was at the late stage of Bone Forging. He was still a step behind his younger brother!

"Big brother, I know! But now is not the time. That kid is currently a trainee of the Demon Purging Division. If this is not handled properly and we get discovered, let alone Xiong'er, even the entire Xu family, you and I will be buried with him!"

Xu Qiang also doted on Xu Xiong like his own son. But he still retained his reason.

"I think you've gotten too used to a good life these past ten years! You've become cowardly and afraid of death! Back then, the two of us brothers even took down the Zhang family! Now you're afraid of some kid in the Skin Refining stage?"

Xu San was very dissatisfied with Xu Qiang's performance and complained in a displeased tone.

"I think you're crazy! If it weren't for the support of the Chief Constable back then, how could we have dealt with the Zhang family? Now it's the Demon Purging Division!!! That's an organization even the Chief Constable dares not offend! Even the County Magistrate has to give them some face!"

Xu Qiang said coldly! He was quite helpless towards his elder brother. His eyes were sinister, like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, ready to bare its fangs at any moment.

"I will handle this matter. I'll let the Green Snake Gang test the waters first! But we have to wait, wait for an opportunity to eliminate their entire family!"

Hearing his brother's explanation, Xu San also calmed down. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The next day, Lin Feng got up early and went straight to the slaughterhouse +2. Yesterday, Lin Feng hadn't told Old Wu San about joining the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp. But after Xu Xiong's commotion, they had already heard rumors. When Lin Feng arrived, Wu Laosan confirmed it, and everyone at the slaughterhouse was shocked. They never expected Lin Feng to be a martial arts genius! No wonder he was so good at slaughtering pigs! And so strong! But why did Lin Feng still come to the slaughterhouse? This was something Wu Laosan couldn't understand. He had thought Lin Feng would have resigned from this job!

"Uncle Wu, even the smallest piece of meat is still meat. No one would complain about having too much money. Besides, many people in the Demon Purging Division have side jobs. There's no need to be so surprised. It's only half an hour."

Lin Feng explained with a smile. Wu Laosan and the others were just honest commoners. With Lin Feng's explanation, they believed him. He was now a distinguished member of the Demon Purging Division, why would he lie to insignificant people like them? Seeing that Lin Feng's original intentions remained unchanged and he still respected them, not becoming arrogant because of his changed status, Wu Laosan's eyes were full of admiration. But since Lin Feng was still the same as before, he couldn't act the same way as before. Facing Lin Feng, he unconsciously became a little reserved.

He even replaced the offal with better pork shoulder.

Lin Feng didn't take it for free; he paid the silver.

With his current wealth, eating some pork was no problem for him.

After returning home and changing his clothes, he entered the inner city to go to the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp.

Lin Feng arrived at the camp and now understood that the two guards were low-level trainees who were older.

They had been in the reserve camp for more than ten years, stuck in the Tendon Strengthening Realm.

They were considered the lowest tier in the reserve camp.

In terms of potential, they couldn't compare to the new trainees.

In terms of strength, they couldn't compare to the Blood Replacement and Marrow Cleansing veteran trainees.

So, they could only do the hardest and most thankless jobs.

"Haha, Brother Lin is here!"

The guard who had accepted Lin Feng's silver yesterday seemed like a different person upon seeing Lin Feng and greeted him proactively.

"Brother Chen! Brother Zhang!"

Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting towards the two men.

Chen Fei took out five taels of silver from his embrace and wanted to return it to Lin Feng.

"Brother Lin, we offended you yesterday! This silver..."

"Brother Chen, you're too kind. I said it was for you two to have a drink. If I take it back, it means you don't respect me, Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng stopped Chen Fei. Then, he cupped his hands towards them again and walked into the camp.

"This kid, he truly comes from the bottom tier, unlike those rich young masters!

I hope he's not assigned to our team!"

After Lin Feng walked away, Chen Fei sighed with emotion.

A moment later, Lin Feng arrived at the training grounds. Today, these batches of new trainees would be assigned to which General's command.

Following a different General made a huge difference!
