Ding Yun

Without question, this man had to be Ding Yun, General Ding!

When Ding Yun drew near,

Lin Feng and the other two hurriedly clasped their hands in salute.

"General Ding!"

Ding Yun set down his wine flask and shot the three of them a sidelong glance.

He waved a hand dismissively!

"You're the leftover newcomers, right!

There aren't so many rules under me.

Cultivate martial arts yourselves; if there's work, go do it.

If there are Monsters, go fight.

Life and death are unpredictable. Who knows how long you three little brats will live? Just don't bother me when there's nothing to do!

Come with me. I'll take you to your camp."

After saying that, Ding Yun walked away.

He truly did not care about a single thing.

The three of them sighed again. As expected, the rumors were all true.

Still, compared to You Lin and Mu Yu, Lin Feng found this easier to accept.

He could cultivate on his own anyway. It was just that under Ding Yun, he would likely have to find ways to obtain resources himself.

Other generals could allocate resources to nurture the trainees under their command.

But Ding Yun could not even be bothered to look at them.

The three followed Ding Yun into a large residence.

Quite a few weapons and stone locks were laid out in the courtyard.

"You can use any of these weapons as you please!

There's food in the dining hall.

You there—at noon, bring me a meal from the dining hall!"

Ding Yun pointed at Lin Feng.

"Yes, General Ding! I am Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng clasped his hands and said.

Ding Yun gave Lin Feng a deep look, visibly pausing for an instant.

Then he walked into the room on his own.

Before long, earth-shaking snores came from inside.

The three exchanged looks and shook their heads.

Then each began cultivating martial arts!

For trainees, the most important things were always martial arts cultivation and fighting Monsters.

Lin Feng looked over the weapons on the rack. Every one of them was a fine weapon, rare and precious.

The sabers were the same Hundred-Forged Blades issued to him!

Sharp, resilient, and heavy!

Lin Feng did not waste any time. He tempered his strength and practiced drawing his saber and slashing.

He did his best to deepen his understanding of the Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing saber art.

This saber art was somewhat unusual. It resembled his two divine abilities, appearing out of nowhere.

It was as though he had been born with it.

Vaguely, he felt that once he comprehended it, he should be able to improve again.

His current realm was far from the end.

At the very least, he had yet to master Control Blade with Qi!

"General Bai, Lin Feng's cultivation seems fairly decent. Why didn't you take him under your command?"

Inside a residence, Zhao Chengzhe asked Bai Sheng in confusion.

"That man is only a commoner in the end, not a member of either of your two families. The resources behind him are limited.

His innate physique is also nowhere near as good as yours or Qingqing's!

Taking him in would only waste resources and a slot!

After all, the number of people I can take in is not unlimited!"

Bai Sheng said indifferently.

In truth, it was not as if he could not take Lin Feng in. But if he did, he would lose one share of empty payroll.

Lin Feng had no status and no background. With his innate physique and talent, wanting to reach the Blood Change Realm within five years and become a squad leader—

Difficult!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengzhe could only nod helplessly.

Their two families and Bai Sheng merely shared a mutually beneficial relationship!

In fact, Bai Sheng held the leading position in that relationship.

He was a genuine general of the Demon Purging Division.

He was not someone local tyrants like the Zhao Family and Yu Family of Kaiyang County could compare to!

Even if Zhao Chengzhe had a rather good impression of Lin Feng, he could not influence Bai Sheng's choice!

In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.

Lin Feng went to the dining hall with You Lin and Mu Yu.

"Are these not the three geniuses who joined General Ding's command?"

"Hahaha! Three geniuses, here for a meal?"

The moment they entered, laughter and jeers greeted them.

You Lin was furious!

Mu Yu looked deeply embarrassed.

Lin Feng remained expressionless. Born into poverty, he had suffered who knew how many cold stares over the years.

The fragrant dishes in the dining hall were what truly caught his attention.

Ignoring the other trainees' mockery,

Lin Feng served himself a meal.

Seeing Lin Feng go get food, You Lin and Mu Yu could only follow him with stiff upper lips.

At that moment, Chen Fei walked over.

"Brother Lin, I heard you three joined General Ding's command. After getting your food in this dining hall, go outside to eat.

Those on our team don't eat in the dining hall!"

After the three got their food, they followed Chen Fei outside.

They began eating in a room.

Chen Fei was an older trainee. His aptitude was not good enough, and the resources behind him were poor. Though he was already in his thirties, he was still only in the Tendon Strengthening Realm.

Since they were all under General Ding's command,

he told them about some matters that required attention.

Lin Feng and the others truly experienced firsthand what their status in the Demon Purging Division was.

When resources were distributed, they were at the very back of the line.

Even the monthly medicinal bath consisted of leftover dregs.

They did not even dare sit in the dining hall to eat.

All because of their aptitude, their backgrounds, and General Ding's inaction!

But the dining hall's food was indeed good!

There were huge pork knuckles, mutton, and even richly nourishing venison!

After one meal, Lin Feng, who was in the Bone Forging Realm, directly gained one improvement point!

After advancing to the Bone Forging Realm, ordinary food could only fill his stomach. It could not provide much essence to convert into improvement points.

Judging by this, breakfast was relatively light, while lunch and dinner were better.

He could gain two improvement points a day.

Added to that was medicinal cuisine once every three days. Over a month, he could gain seventy or eighty improvement points.

That would let him cultivate smoothly in the Bone Forging Realm!

With the income from the Slaughterhouse as well, he would presumably need at most two or three months to raise the Bone Forging Realm to completion and break through into the Tendon Strengthening Realm.

If he had to spend silver on food himself, who knew how much silver he would have to spend.

Thinking of that, his mood improved!

It was just that if he advanced too quickly, it might cause trouble once those generals noticed.

His innate physique was clearly not that good, yet his cultivation speed rivaled that of a monster.

Even now, he did not know how to solve this problem.

He could only visit the Demon Purging Division's treasury to see whether there were treasures or cultivation techniques that could conceal his aura.

Not long after, Lin Feng and the others returned to the courtyard.

Carrying a food box, he came outside Ding Yun's door.

Listening to the earth-shaking snores inside, Lin Feng hesitated over whether he should go in and wake General Ding for his meal.

Strangely enough, Lin Feng had only lingered outside the door for a moment

when the snores inside stopped.

"Bring the food in!"

General Ding was awake!

"Yes, General Ding!"

Lin Feng froze for a moment, then pushed open the door and placed the food box on the table.

Ding Yun lifted the lid of the food box.

At the sight of the food, his appetite was thoroughly whetted!

He directly grabbed the meat with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth, wolfing it down.

As he ate meat, he also drank wine.

Before long, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen clouds, he had devoured every scrap of food.

Ding Yun let out a full belch, sucked his fingers clean of sauce, incidentally cleaned his hands, then rubbed his belly in satisfaction.

"Alright, take the food box out!"

After giving the order, General Ding went whoosh and lay back down on the bed.

His snores began again.

Lin Feng picked up the food box, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

He shook his head helplessly.

This man was truly carefree! He ate, then slept; slept, then ate.

He did not concern himself with anything else!

There was not even a trace of powerful blood energy emanating from him. He did not look like a martial artist at all.

Lin Feng could not help suspecting that he was someone who had gotten the position through connections, with no martial arts cultivation whatsoever!

"Brother Lin, someone outside is looking for you!"

The moment Lin Feng left the main hall and entered the courtyard, he heard You Lin's voice.
