Chen Feng's expression was calm, and he respectfully said, "Yes."
It wasn't strange at all that Yun Xi had managed to find out information about him.
Yun Xi was already shocked by the information she had uncovered.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, her heart filled with a mixture of complexity and admiration.
"To be able to cultivate to the entry-level of martial arts so quickly right after awakening, and to have such a breakthrough in your archery skills."
"It's truly rare!"
"It's just a pity that you're a bit old. Given that you killed enemies last night, I'll give you two choices now."
Chen Feng was a little surprised upon hearing this. "May I ask what the choices are?"
He was also somewhat confused.
Yun Xi nodded. "We Demon Patrol Envoys also bear the mission of searching for talented martial artists across various regions for the Demon Patrol Division."
"Although you've awakened your talent, you've missed the best age for martial arts training. At your age, if you still want to develop further in martial arts, or even become a Demon Patrol Envoy, it will likely be quite difficult."
"I have a friend in Black Stone City whom I can ask to arrange for you to enter the Patrol Division, which will guarantee you a worry-free life at the very least."
"Another option is that the Demon Patrol Division has academies in various locations that train prospective Demon Patrol Envoys. I can give you an opportunity to enter Black Mountain Academy."
"However, I can't guarantee the final outcome."
After speaking, Yun Xi looked at Chen Feng, who had fallen into deep thought.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind.
With her eyesight, she could easily tell that Chen Feng's cultivation level was at the First-grade Martial Artist realm.
For his age, this was a bit weak.
However, considering he was from a village, she didn't have excessively high expectations.
The most important thing was that she found Chen Feng's archery skills to be truly remarkable.
They were likely not inferior to those in the academies, and he possessed great potential.
She didn't want to give up on Chen Feng easily.
Chen Feng listened to the two choices and, without any hesitation, directly said, "Fairy, I am willing to go to the academy."
Yun Xi asked, "You won't regret it? If you can't graduate from the academy, your treatment afterward might not even be as good as entering the Patrol Division."
"After all, 'poor scholars, wealthy warriors.' If you can't keep up in the academy, the resources you can obtain will be very limited, or you might end up becoming a rogue martial artist, which would make it difficult to support your cultivation."
Yun Xi said with a frown.
Her eyes showed contemplation.
She had investigated many aspects of Chen Feng's situation today and was somewhat surprised to learn that Chen Feng was born and raised in the village.
And when she saw the way Chen Feng practiced archery, she was even more astonished.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, she decided to let Chen Feng make his own choice.
In the current era, the situation was unstable.
A spot in the Patrol Division was enough to attract many people.
She hadn't expected Chen Feng to make such a decisive and swift choice.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Since childhood, I have yearned for the Demon Patrol Division. Since I have the opportunity to try, why shouldn't I?"
In truth, he had his own plans.
With his "Overdrive Panel," his future was limitless.
Naturally, he had to choose the path of cultivation with a more promising future.
Yun Xi nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Alright, then that's the choice."
"Every Demon Patrol Envoy has a long-term mission to find talent for the Demon Patrol Division. This is my recommendation token. Take this token and head to Black Mountain Academy in the center of Black Stone City."
"Go directly to the registration desk, and you will become a student of Black Stone Academy. However, your future cultivation will depend entirely on yourself."
Yun Xi said as she spoke.
Then, with a wave of her hand, a token, black all over with dark red engravings, about half the size of her palm, landed in his hand.
On the token, there was a dark red character 'Chen', and on the back, there was another dark red engraving resembling a phoenix spreading its wings.
Just a glance at it sent a jolt of shock through him.
Seeing Chen Feng put away the token, Yun Xi smiled and said, "I hope we meet again."
Chen Feng nodded. "I will work hard."
Yun Xi nodded and didn't say anything further. She turned and left directly.
With one step, she was already tens of meters away.
In a short moment, she disappeared from Chen Feng's sight.
Only Chen Feng stood in his original spot, staring in the direction Yun Xi had left, his eyes filled with complexity.
The recommendation token was still in his hand, still warm to the touch.
He could easily imagine the immense value of a place within the Demon Patrol Division's cultivation academy.
He hadn't expected the Demon Patrol Envoy before him to just give it to him directly.
As for the red-clothed woman's name, Yun Xi hadn't said it, and Chen Feng hadn't asked.
He figured that in her eyes, he was just a nobody.
Chen Feng's expression was calm, showing no concern. With the "Overwork Panel" in hand, he believed that as long as he continued to cultivate, his future would surely hold a place for him.
"To the county town! To study!" Chen Feng made up his mind.
Everything that had happened in Black Mountain Village was beyond his expectations.
Chen Feng's eyes held a determined look; he had to go to a place with more open information.
Even though opportunities were clearly arising in Black Mountain, he didn't even know what kind of information it was.
With his current cultivation, he didn't even have the qualifications to be involved.
"I must cultivate quickly and improve my cultivation and strength."
Once his cultivation was sufficient, he would make another trip to Black Mountain to see what was in Green Wolf Valley and the depths of Black Mountain.
As for the existence of Green Wolf Valley, he did want to inform the red-clothed woman. In his opinion, Green Wolf Valley might be a gathering place for Demon Cult followers.
Seeing her disappearing back, he sighed inwardly and didn't say anything more.
After all, his thoughts were most likely wrong.
Unless she asked herself, or something else changed.
After Yun Xi left, Chen Feng noticed that some of his neighbors were looking at him with confusion, and also with a hint of awe.
"Isn't that the person who reportedly wiped out the Huang family yesterday? Why would they come looking for Chen Feng?"
"Yeah, I heard that person is a Demon Patrol Envoy. What did Chen Feng do to have a Demon Patrol Envoy seek him out?"
"I don't know, I just feel like this kid Chen Feng seems to have changed a bit. His archery skills are quite impressive!"
Various hushed discussions could be heard.
At this moment, Liu Yuan, standing nearby, said with envy, "Brother Chen, you've made contact with important people without anyone knowing!"
Chen Feng smiled, "I just helped out a little before."
Liu Yuan said enviously, "Brother Chen, I knew you'd amount to something. When you're successful in the future, pull me along!"
Chen Feng smiled, "If there's a chance, I certainly will."
"By the way, when are you planning to go to the county town?"
Chen Feng asked directly.
Liu Yuan replied, "I plan to go back this afternoon."
"I only took two days off from my master for this trip back; tomorrow I'll be back to forging iron."
Chen Feng heard this and said, "Is that so? We're also planning to go to the county town."
Liu Yuan was still a bit confused, "Brother Chen, what are you going to the county town for?"
Chen Feng nodded, "To see if there's any better development."
"Otherwise, relying on hunting all the time feels a bit too dangerous."
Liu Yuan almost said that it wouldn't be easy to get by in the county town either.
However, thinking about the recent chaos in Black Stone City and the Huang family being wiped out last night, He suppressed what he was about to say and then nodded, "That's true. Given the current situation, going to the county town is safer."
"After all, the county town is always guarded by Martial Artists of the fifth grade or higher."
Chen Feng felt a mix of emotions. He didn't know if his trip to the county town this time would go smoothly.
