Heart Blade Unity

"Strange, strange!"

"His bone structure isn't top-tier, yet his advancement is so rapid! And he's cultivating the Vajra Art!"

"But his comprehension is truly remarkable. At sixteen years old, he's already gained a preliminary grasp of Blade Intent!"

After a bit of probing, Ding Yun didn't feel bored.

He continued to watch Lin Feng with great interest.

Then, he lightly patted Lin Feng, and the numb sensation on Lin Feng's body finally disappeared.

This made Lin Feng marvel inwardly.

He had suspected the other party was just a connection before, but this move made him realize the other party wasn't just a connection; they were clearly a master!

The kind who didn't show off!

Since the other party was a master, he decided to drop the matter of being groped without consequence.

After all, it was just a pat on his backside, and between men, it wasn't a big deal.

Fortunately, his vital areas were safe, and the other party hadn't done anything excessive.

This put his mind at ease.

At this moment, however, a word from Ding Yun made Lin Feng's relieved heart tense up again.

"Good heavens, how long has it been? He's already reached the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm!"

"General Ding, I... I accidentally consumed..."

Lin Feng was about to explain.

"Wait! No need to explain. Everyone has their secrets!

This is a Qi Concealment Technique, and its effect is much better than those in the treasure vault.

Take it!"

General Ding stopped Lin Feng's explanation, then turned around and pulled a manual from under the bed!

"This..."

Lin Feng looked at the dusty manual, feeling it was too staged!

And why was the other party giving it to him?

"You don't want it? If you don't want it, I'll take it back!"

"I want it, I want it! Thank you, General!"

Lin Feng quickly took the manual before it could be retracted.

If this General had any ill intentions towards him, there would be no need for such a method.

He could have dealt with him directly!

All he could do was to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Then, no matter what Demons or Monsters appeared, he would slay them with a single blade!

"Hmm, after you study this Skill, practice it diligently. The deeper you cultivate, the more hidden your aura will become.

Ordinary people will have no way of seeing through your martial cultivation!"

Ding Yun instructed.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Feng cupped his fists and bowed sincerely again! The "ordinary people" in the other party's eyes were probably great masters to him!

This manual was definitely enough! More than enough!

"Sir, may I ask what you meant by Blade Intent earlier?"

At this moment, Lin Feng seized the opportunity to ask.

"Blade Intent is a realm that blade cultivators can encounter by chance or seek through decades of arduous training. Or, like you just did, achieve through sudden enlightenment.

However, the comprehension of Blade Intent also has layers!

You should only have a preliminary grasp of it now!

Blade Intent is something that can only be comprehended by oneself. It's difficult to describe the specific realm in words!

So, there are basically no books that record related knowledge; it's passed down through word of mouth.

But after a preliminary grasp, it's already a huge boost to combat power!"

"As long as you unleash Blade Intent, you can influence your enemies, and it can also increase the attack power of the blade in your hand, as well as the attack speed and angle.

That wooden dummy earlier was incredibly tough, not something your broken butcher knife could shake.

But in your hands, you eventually cleaved it with ease!

This is the power of Blade Intent!"

Ding Yun explained a string of knowledge, giving Lin Feng a preliminary understanding of Blade Intent.

To deepen his understanding, he could only rely on his own comprehension!

"Alright, you can come ask me anything in the future, but only if you train hard and reach the Prefectural City, and then the Prefecture!

Don't ask me why!

Get out, get out, and remember to bring me food later!"

With that, Ding Yun scrambled onto the bed, turned over, and his snoring started up again.

So carefree! Falling asleep just like that!

Lin Feng was starting to get used to the General's eccentric behavior.

He closed the door and walked out.

Then, he went to his own room and began to study the Qi Concealment Technique.

The Demon Purging Division provided dormitories for its trainees, but most of them were from Kaiyang County.

Except for those without connections or those on duty, most trainees went home to sleep.

Lin Feng practiced the Qi Concealment Technique a few times, and then successfully recorded the skill!

Improvement Points: 8

At this moment, Lin Feng opened his status panel and saw that the "Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing" skill now had the "Heart Blade Unity" realm!

Just as he had guessed before, his blade technique had leveled up! The Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing technique seemed to be like his innate blade technique.

Without a manual to record, it appeared directly on his panel.

The advantage was infinite potential, the disadvantage was that he had to comprehend it himself!

"Whatever, I've already achieved initial comprehension of Blade Intent, which is very strong!

Things will work out as they should. However, I still need to practice this blade technique every day!"

Next, he looked at the Qi Concealment Technique section.

"Good heavens, reaching Grand Perfection requires 100 points. This is a skill as profound as a blade technique!

General Ding, he really gives out treasures!"

Now Lin Feng finally understood why Ding Yun seemed like someone who hadn't practiced martial arts before; it was because the Qi Concealment Technique was too effective!

Then, Lin Feng added one point to the Qi Concealment Technique.

In an instant, a flood of knowledge was compressed and fed into Lin Feng's mind.

It felt as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

With a thought, Lin Feng felt his aura change, becoming that of an early-stage Bone Forging realm cultivator.

Since Yu Qingqing had already discovered his early-stage Bone Forging cultivation, hiding it as Skin Refining Perfection would be too obvious.

Moreover, showing a little talent appropriately could also deter others!

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

Lin Feng bought another pot of Great Drunken Immortal Brew.

However, his silver was running low, leaving him with only fifty to sixty taels.

This money had to be saved for family expenses.

The family was eating well every day, and he had also bought various things for his mother and younger sister, which cost quite a bit.

Because his realm had improved, Lin Feng drank the entire pot of Great Drunken Immortal Brew this time.

He ultimately gained 9 Improvement Points.

Combined with +2 from the slaughterhouse and +2 from the Demon Purging Division, his Improvement Points now totaled 20!

Looking at the 20 Improvement Points, Lin Feng followed his plan and spent ten points on the Iron Shirt!

Improvement Points: 10

With a hum, after adding points, Lin Feng's physical body felt as if it had been crushed and then regrown.

It became even tougher!

Especially his bones; not only were they powerful, but their defense had also increased severalfold!

"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat someone in the late Bone Forging Realm!

Should I find an opportunity to take care of Xu Qiang directly?"

Lin Feng pondered.

Then he shook his head again. Xu Qiang was not an ordinary constable like Yan Song.

There were only six captains of constables in the county yamen. If one died, they would definitely not let it go and would investigate thoroughly!

The risk was too great.

"I need to get stronger, preferably to the point where I can confidently kill him with ease before making a move!"

Lin Feng looked at his panel; he had ten improvement points left.

He was contemplating whether to save them to improve his cultivation level or add them to the Iron Shirt to further enhance his defense.

At this moment, a loud noise echoed!

Lin Feng's expression changed!

He quickly went into the courtyard. The dark night sky suddenly lit up. A signal flare was fired from the direction of the Demon Purging Division in the Inner City!

Immediately after, the county yamen also fired one!

The entire county town was thrown into chaos.

"Xiao Feng, what's wrong?"

His mother and little sister, Lin Yu, rushed out.

"Monsters have arrived, and there are quite a few of them!"

Lin Feng said grimly to his family.

"Yu, protect mother and little sister. I need to rejoin my unit!

Stay in the city, and absolutely do not go out!"

With that, Lin Feng grabbed his saber and rushed out.

He then put all ten improvement points into the Iron Shirt.
