Awakening

Xiao Family.

It had been two days since Lin Feng had been brought back to recuperate. During those two days, Xiao Zhan and the clan elders had constantly examined him, terrified that something might go wrong.

They had even invited Grandmaster Gu Ni to help, yet they still could not wake Lin Feng.

"There is something unusual about him. His cultivation technique is very peculiar, especially around his chest, where a strange energy is repairing his body."

"Perhaps once he has recovered enough on his own, he should wake up."

The Mittel Auction House was quite courteous toward Lin Feng. To them, the potential Lin Feng had displayed was worth investing in. Even if they could not become friends, they could not become enemies either. This was one of the reasons the Mite'er Family had been able to establish itself within the empire.

Thus, offering timely aid during this period was their best investment in Lin Feng.

After all, at his age, the talent he had displayed was already beyond comparison with ordinary people. What was more, this time, he had used the strength of a Dou Zhe to kill a peak Da Dou Shi.

That alone made him worth investing in.

Therefore, during this time, the Mittel Auction House had grown quite close to the Xiao Family and had even sent over many medicinal pills for treating injuries.

Xiao Zhan understood the Mittel Auction House's intentions, but he did not expose them. Everyone knew what was going on. After all, having another friend meant having another path.

Aside from cultivating under Yao Lao's guidance these past few days, Xiao Yan would come check on Lin Feng whenever he had time. After hearing from his teacher that Lin Feng was in no serious danger and would naturally awaken once his body recovered, he was no longer too worried. Besides, he knew Feng Ge had his own fortunate encounters, so there was no need for him to worry excessively.

What puzzled him most was who exactly had attacked Feng Ge this time.

"Judging by the state of that battlefield, I wonder how Feng Ge managed to defeat him."

"Hehe, kid, stop thinking about it. Your Feng Ge has profound fortunes. Just focus on cultivating for now and don't overthink the rest."

Yao Lao's voice sounded by Xiao Yan's ear. Thinking of the humiliation of the past, Xiao Yan clenched his teeth as countless emotions surged through his heart. "Three years. In three years, I will definitely show you that I, Xiao Yan, am not trash."

Another three days passed. On this day, Dou Qi surged within the small courtyard where Lin Feng was recuperating, and golden light burst forth.

It was as if an intense heartbeat reverberated between heaven and earth. Dou Qi from all around crazily poured into Lin Feng's body. Xiao Yan, who was cultivating on the Back Mountain, sensed it as well. Yao Lao's illusory figure appeared beside him and looked toward Lin Feng's courtyard. "Your Feng Ge should be waking up soon. This time, he will likely advance even further."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed. Leaving Yao Lao behind, he ran down the mountain. "Teacher, I'm going to check on Feng Ge first."

Everyone in the clan sensed it. Xiao Zhan and the elders were especially excited. "It's Feng'er."

Xun Er and Ling Lao also looked toward Lin Feng's courtyard. Golden flames flickered in Xun Er's eyes as Ling Lao said, "Miss, Lin Feng has turned misfortune into fortune this time. He will likely break through."

"The commotion from Feng Ge's breakthrough is truly extraordinary."

At the Mittel Auction House, Grandmaster Gu Ni sensed it and looked in the direction of the Xiao Family. Beside him stood an exceedingly seductive woman dressed in red. As she moved, her pair of beautiful legs appeared and disappeared beneath her garments.

Ya Fei parted her red lips. "What is it, Grandmaster?"

"He is waking up."

Ya Fei was not particularly surprised, but Grandmaster Gu Ni sighed with emotion instead. "With such a commotion, he is about to break through."

"This fellow truly keeps becoming more and more surprising."

"Ya Fei, take some people and send some gifts to the Xiao Family. From now on, the Xiao Family will certainly rise in Wu Tan City."

Xiao Family, Lin Feng's small courtyard.

Dou Qi was dense, and golden light shone brightly. Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan, Xun Er, and the others who had rushed over all stood outside the door, not daring to enter.

"This aura is actually so terrifying. What cultivation technique is your Feng Ge practicing?"

Yao Lao's voice sounded. Even he was somewhat surprised. A mere Dou Zhe causing such a disturbance while breaking through truly made him curious.

"Hiss, could this be a Super Heaven Rank cultivation technique?"

Xiao Yan was shaken upon hearing this. "Teacher, are there even cultivation techniques above the Heaven Rank?"

Yao Lao said, "Yes, but they are exceedingly rare. The cultivation technique I obtained back then was also quite extraordinary, but it was still nowhere near as formidable as Lin Feng's."

Xun Er stood beside Xiao Yan. Thinking he was worried about Lin Feng, she said, "Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry. Feng Ge will be fine."

Xiao Zhan and the others had their hearts in their throats. Suddenly, the golden light receded, and the violent Dou Qi between heaven and earth returned to calm.

A figure pushed open the door and stepped out. Seeing everyone, he grinned. Bathed in sunlight, he looked exceptionally handsome. "I've made everyone worry."

The hearts of Xiao Zhan and the others finally settled. They hurried forward. "Feng'er, are you all right?"

Lin Feng shook his head. This time, disaster had turned into fortune. At the brink of death, the Undying Scripture had activated, and together with the Meteor Tear, it had kept him alive. He had also broken through in one go to Dou Zhe Five Star, while the Eight Inner Gates could now be opened to the second gate.

Seeing that Lin Feng was truly unharmed and had even broken through in strength, Xiao Zhan and the elders were delighted.

But soon, Xiao Zhan's expression darkened. He asked in a low voice, "Feng'er, tell me. Who exactly was the person who attacked you that day?"

Xiao Yan and Xun Er looked over as well. They were equally curious.

Lin Feng recalled what that person had said that day, and killing intent immediately rose in his heart.

Heh, the people of the Misty Cloud Sect really were as hypocritical and suicidal as they had been in the original story.

Even if Xiao Yan did not go this time, Lin Feng himself would go and kill Ge Ye.

Merely because of the talent and profound Dou Techniques he had displayed, they had brought a fatal disaster upon him. "Ge Ye? Misty Cloud Sect, sooner or later, I will come for you."

"Feng Ge, just tell us already. Who dared to attack you?"

Lin Feng did not hide it. "It was Ge Ye's men."

Everyone was stunned. "The Misty Cloud Sect!"

Lin Feng said, "The talent and Dou Techniques I displayed that day made him jealous, so he sent people after me."

The moment Xiao Zhan heard this, his fury surged to the heavens. "Ge Ye! The Misty Cloud Sect claims to be some righteous and prestigious sect, yet they would commit such despicable acts!"

Anger and guilt welled up in Xiao Yan's heart as well. If Feng Ge had not stepped in for him, he would not have brought this deadly disaster upon himself.

"Ge Ye? The Misty Cloud Sect? I will sooner or later make them repay Feng Ge's debt, along with the humiliation of that day!"

Lin Feng said, "Uncle Xiao, you don't need to worry about this. I will settle this debt sooner or later."

Xiao Zhan looked at Lin Feng and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Good. My Feng'er and Yan'er will one day become mighty figures on this continent. Leave the matters of you young people to yourselves. I believe that this little Misty Cloud Sect and the Jia Ma Empire will not be able to stop you."
