"Not good!" Chen Feng cried out.
At that very moment, as a new talent awakened—
His body underwent a transformation.
His stomach and digestive system transformed as well.
In that instant, nearly all the nutrients were digested, converted into energy, and sent into his body to be absorbed.
His flesh and blood were growing stronger, but at the same time, he felt incomparably hungry.
It was as though every cell in his body were crying out in hunger.
Chen Feng's face darkened. Under Lin Xue's stunned gaze, he wolfed down several more bowls of rice in succession.
After barely suppressing some of the hunger—
He cleaned the remaining rabbit, steamed it, and devoured it as well. Only then did he finally suppress the hunger gnawing at his stomach.
"Hubby!"
Lin Xue looked worried as she stood beside him.
Chen Feng smiled. "It's fine. Training Martial Arts might have used up a little too much energy."
Lin Xue said, "Hubby, should I cook you some more rice?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, delight quickly appeared on Lin Xue's face.
So her husband was practicing Martial Arts. In this world, there were many legends about martial artists—stories of people eating an entire ox in one meal were far from rare.
She did not doubt him in the slightest.
Chen Feng said, "No need. I've had enough."
Then, while Lin Xue cleared the table—
Chen Feng sat beside the table beneath the kerosene lamp and took out the Iron Fist Technique he had obtained from Wang Hu, reading through its contents.
Chen Feng still carried some unease about this Great Gan World.
Especially concerning the existence of demons and monsters. The original owner's memories still contained that terrifying scene he had witnessed.
Adding to that the drop of diluted blood from the Evil God he had touched and absorbed in the mountains this time, Chen Feng's heart grew even heavier.
Yet after opening the Iron Fist Technique, the basic information recorded on its first page happened to give Chen Feng a deeper understanding.
So that's how it is, Chen Feng thought.
According to the Iron Fist Technique, the Great Gan Martial Realm was primarily divided into nine grades.
First-grade was the lowest, while ninth-grade was the highest.
Once one cultivated a Martial Arts technique to the limit-breaking level and underwent a physical transformation, one became a First-grade Martial Artist.
A martial artist's transformations were further divided into skin, flesh, tendons, bones, organs, and other levels.
As long as one became a martial artist, even a lowest-grade First-grade Martial Artist would undergo a transformation of the skin membrane. One person could directly handle several others, with both defense and strength surpassing ordinary people.
In such a remote village, they would absolutely count as a formidable local expert.
Chen Feng's eyes flickered thoughtfully. No wonder that when he had dealt with Wang Hu before, although his arrows could hit Wang Hu, they had only caused superficial wounds.
Even piercing through him had become more difficult. It seemed Wang Hu's skin membrane had already transformed once.
"I wonder how many martial artists there are in the Huang Family. And what realm is their strongest expert in?" Chen Feng's face turned grave.
Wang Hu was clearly one of the Huang Family's men, and now he was dead.
Though it could be said that he had died in the jaws of a Black Mountain beast—
There was no telling whether the Huang Family would believe it.
Thinking of this left Chen Feng feeling stifled.
He had no mood to rest either.
Under the moonlight, he began practicing the Iron Fist Technique, every movement precise and methodical.
The Iron Fist Technique was an external technique, and it mentioned the need for certain secret medicines.
Those accompanying medicines were clearly the true core, but those pages had been torn out.
All that remained were the moves. It would have been useless even if others obtained it, but Chen Feng had the panel, so he had nothing to worry about.
After he completed the entire set of moves once, information on the Iron Fist Technique appeared on the panel.
Technique: Iron Fist Technique (Beginner progress 1%)
After practicing it several more times, the progress reached 3%.
Seeing that the sky had already darkened—
And that he had gone through rather a lot today, leaving him truly exhausted—
He stopped practicing for now. Once he woke tomorrow, he would start grinding the Iron Fist Technique's proficiency again.
He had a feeling that it should only take a few more days for him to grind the Iron Fist Technique to its next major realm.
If Wang Hu could have heard Chen Feng say that, he would probably have been angered into vomiting blood.
He had spent several decades cultivating the Iron Fist Technique, only barely reaching the limit-breaking level.
Chen Feng's cultivation speed was so fast, yet he still felt as if it were somewhat slow.
After extinguishing the lamp—
Chen Feng looked at Lin Xue, whose face carried a trace of bashfulness, and smiled. "Wife, it's late."
"It's time to rest."
Lin Xue lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "Mm, I'll listen to you, Hubby."
"Tonight, we'll do it twice."
"Mm, I'll listen to you, Hubby."
The night passed.
The next day, Chen Feng woke up.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated.
But when he thought of the information he had seen yesterday, he still felt somewhat regretful.
You completed an enjoyable night life. Your Yin Yang Arts skill increased by 10. Skill: Yin Yang Arts (Beginner progress 20%)
Though he wanted to gain more proficiency, regrettably, this seemed to have a daily limit as well. At present, it was probably around ten points per night.
Chen Feng considered this. In the future, he could study this aspect a little more as well.
Chen Feng did not choose to enter the mountains today.
He planned to practice the Iron Fist Technique more and sort out his current strength.
He felt that he should have no problem facing a First-grade Martial Artist now.
But as for a Second-grade Martial Artist, he had no idea what the outcome would be.
With Lin Xue beside him as well, he did not wish to invite any trouble.
But what he did not know was—
At this moment, within the Huang Family—
Huang Haisheng's face was incomparably ugly. Looking at Steward Liu Hao before him, he said frostily, "What did you say?"
"Wang Hu and the others died in the jaws of beasts?"
Huang Haisheng's expression was extremely unsightly. What a joke—Wang Hu was a hunter who made his living by hunting, and a First-grade Martial Artist at that. How could he possibly have died in the jaws of beasts?
Steward Liu Hao's expression was not much better either. "Yes, Master. While tracking them, this subordinate discovered the other two bodies in the outer area."
"Wang Hu's corpse, however, was close to the inner area."
"Outside Green Wolf Valley!"
As Liu Hao's words fell—
Old Master Huang, who had been furious moments ago, also showed a trace of ugliness on his face.
"They died outside Green Wolf Valley?"
Huang Haisheng's eyes flickered uncertainly. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said coldly, "That boy Chen Feng was confirmed to have been invaded by demonic aura before, correct?"
Liu Hao lowered his head at the side. "Yes, Master. This subordinate personally saw Chen Feng being invaded by demonic aura before leaving."
Huang Haisheng sneered. "Now that's interesting."
"Even a First-grade Martial Artist would die if demonic aura invaded their body. How did he survive?"
Steward Liu Hao stood meekly at the side. Then, as if recalling something, his expression grew grave. "Master, do you think Chen Feng might possibly be a talented one?"
Huang Haisheng laughed upon hearing this. "Talented ones are one in ten thousand. Only those whose ancestors produced top-tier experts have a chance of producing a talented one."
"Black Mountain Village is nothing more than an ordinary village. It is impossible for a talented one to appear there."
He continued coldly, "Information about Green Wolf Valley cannot be leaked. Otherwise, if it draws the Demon Patrol Division here, that will be troublesome."
"First investigate what exactly happened. Then, in the next few days, make a move and deal with Chen Feng. As for the Yin Shengzi by his side, although the forced effect will be somewhat weaker, it is still better than letting her go to waste."
