That night, Lin Feng received his first "newcomer gift pack" as an Iron Token Demon Slayer.
A brand-new set of fitted black clothes, three Qi Replenishing Pills for cultivation, and two secret manuals carrying a faint scent of ink.
One was the Demon Suppression Division's foundational cultivation method—the Blazing Sun Art.
The other was its matching saber technique—the Seven Fiends Saber Technique.
The Blazing Sun Art drew upon the essence of the blazing sun. The true qi cultivated through it was supremely hard and supremely yang, naturally suppressing demons, monsters, ghosts, and evil spirits.
Its difficulty and profundity were far beyond common goods like the Qi Guiding Art.
This cultivation method was enough to support a martial artist from the Body Tempering Realm all the way to the completion of the Meridian Opening Realm!
Meanwhile, the Seven Fiends Saber Technique was an exceedingly widespread killing saber art within the Demon Suppression Division.
It contained seven forms. Each was more domineering than the last, each sharper than the last. Wherever the saber went, Killing Intent followed, and even ghosts and gods fled before it.
For the current Lin Feng, this was no different from sweet rain after a long drought.
"Finally."
After returning to his room and shutting the doors and windows, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
He glanced at his system panel.
[Host: Lin Feng] [Realm: Ninth Level of Body Tempering Realm] [Cultivation Method: Qi Guiding Art (Perfect)] [Martial Skill: Basic Constable Saber Technique (Perfect)] [Movement Technique: Flowing Wind Steps (Perfect)] [Critical Strike Multiplier: 15x] [Crit Points: 4990]
Destroying the Black Tiger Gang and the Moon Worship Cult's stronghold had allowed him to accumulate an ocean of Crit Points.
Now, it was time to turn those savings into real strength!
"System!"
Lin Feng silently muttered in his heart, "Use Crit Points to learn the Seven Fiends Saber Technique first!"
[Ding! 500 Crit Points consumed. Seven Fiends Saber Technique critical strike successful!]
The moment the words fell, a vast and bloody aura of slaughter surged into Lin Feng's sea of consciousness!
It was as though an unmatched saber master, battle-hardened and emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was demonstrating those seven peerlessly tyrannical saber forms within his mind.
Every move and every form brimmed with the ultimate beauty born purely for slaughter. Every technique, method of exerting force, and method of wielding Killing Intent was instantly comprehended by Lin Feng and engraved into his bones!
Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Beginner!
"What a domineering saber technique. Just reaching the Beginner stage costs 500 Crit Points. As expected, it's nothing like the Basic Constable Saber Technique!"
A sharp gleam burst from Lin Feng's eyes.
If he faced Zhao Tie and Li Rui joining forces again, there would be no need to use Flowing Wind Steps for a sneak attack.
With only the fifteenfold critical strike of the Beginner Seven Fiends Saber Technique, he could defeat them with ease!
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Feng turned his gaze toward the Blazing Sun Art.
Cultivation was the foundation of everything. Without a strong foundation, even martial skills practiced to a miraculous level could not display their proper power.
Thus, he decided to spend all his remaining Crit Points on the Blazing Sun Art.
[Ding! 4490 Crit Points consumed. Blazing Sun Art critical strike successful!]
Rumble!
This commotion was more terrifying than any before it!
Centered on Lin Feng's room, a visible vortex of spiritual energy formed, glowing with faint golden light. The spiritual energy above all of Qingyang County seemed to have answered some summons, crazily pouring back toward him!
In another guest room at the County Office, Chu Mengxi, who had been meditating and regulating her breath, abruptly opened her eyes.
"This... this is...?"
Feeling that immense and exceptionally pure fluctuation of spiritual energy, disbelief covered her face.
"What an overbearing absorption speed for spiritual energy! Someone is breaking through! And it's... a breakthrough across a major realm! Could it be Lin Feng?!"
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
With a flash, she appeared in the courtyard and gazed from afar toward Lin Feng's room, the shock in her beautiful eyes beyond measure.
At that moment, Lin Feng, standing at the heart of the storm, was undergoing a transformation that remade him from the marrow outward.
Between the Body Tempering Realm and the Meridian Opening Realm lay a colossal barrier known as the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.
Ordinary martial artists needed to spend years grinding away like water wearing through stone, chipping at it bit by bit, before they might luckily break through.
But for Lin Feng, with the system's support, that barrier was as fragile as a sheet of thin paper!
"Break... for me!"
At the stir of Lin Feng's will, that enormous torrent of spiritual energy transformed into a giant hammer capable of splitting heaven and earth, smashing viciously into the invisible barrier!
Crack!
A crisp sound seemed to ring out from the depths of his soul!
The Bridge of Heaven and Earth was blasted open!
Endless spiritual energy instantly found an outlet. It began racing through his body along a mysterious route, eventually flowing into his dantian and condensing into the first wisp of true qi!
This wisp of true qi was faintly golden, filled with a violent aura of supreme hardness and supreme yang!
First Level of Meridian Opening Realm, achieved!
Yet this was merely the beginning!
Lin Feng's cultivation shot madly upward as though he had climbed aboard a rocket!
Second Level of Meridian Opening Realm!
Third Level of Meridian Opening Realm!
Immense true qi opened one broad meridian after another within his body. Like surging rivers and roaring seas, every circulation brought boundless power!
His body, too, became increasingly formidable under the tempering of the Blazing Sun Art. A faint treasure-like radiance even surfaced across his skin!
Fourth Level of Meridian Opening Realm!
Fifth Level of Meridian Opening Realm!
Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm!
When the last sliver of Crit Points was exhausted, the true qi within Lin Feng had become so vast that it defied imagination. The twelve primary meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians had almost all been opened!
Only one final step remained before the crucial Ren and Du Meridians were opened as well!
"Hoo..."
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. Two golden rays shot from them, punching two fist-sized holes straight through the wall opposite him!
Feeling the unprecedented, surging, boundless strength within his body, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.
"So this is... the strength of the Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm?"
He had the feeling that the current him could effortlessly beat a hundred versions of himself from before the breakthrough to death!
And all of this had taken less than an hour since he received the cultivation method!
Just then, Chu Mengxi's urgent and astonished voice sounded from outside the courtyard.
"Lin Feng, did you break through?"
In the end, she could not hold herself back and hurried over.
That enormous spiritual energy fluctuation from earlier had already far exceeded the limits of her understanding. She had even thought that Lin Feng had gone wrong in his cultivation and was about to suffer qi deviation.
Lin Feng restrained his aura and opened the door.
Seeing that Lin Feng was safe and sound, Chu Mengxi first let out a breath of relief. Then, when her gaze fell upon his body, her phoenix eyes instantly widened into perfect circles!
"S-Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm?!"
She cried out in shock, her voice trembling.
How was this possible?!
An hour ago, he had clearly been in the Body Tempering Realm!
An hour later, he had actually... actually soared directly to the Sixth Level of Meridian Opening Realm?!
This was no longer talent.
This was a monster!
A freak among freaks!
