Ling Yue’er Going After Lin Feng?

Lin Feng was very annoyed at the moment.

This annoyance stemmed from a sense of loneliness at the peak, an emptiness akin to seeking defeat.

To put it more plainly, he had cleared all the low-level monsters in the server by himself. His experience bar was practically growing moss, yet he had nowhere to level up.

He glanced at his status panel, and the sense of boredom that belonged to the strong grew even stronger.

[Host: Lin Feng]
[Realm: Half-step Dan Yuan]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Yang Limitless Art (Beginner)]
[Martial Skill: Abyssal Path Three Slashes (Beginner)]
[Movement Technique: Treading Snow Without Trace (Beginner)]
[Crit Multiplier: 135x]
[Crit Points: 102350]

"Sigh..."

Lin Feng let out a long sigh. This was the seventeenth sigh this month.

Ever since he treated the Li Family's assassins like a buffet, killing one who came, and a pair who came in twos.

The entire underworld of Nan Yan Commandery seemed to have entered a society governed by law overnight. Not even a hooligan snatching children's candied hawthorn on the street could be seen.

These past few days, the "head takeout" he had painstakingly captured were all found by Huang Fugui in forgotten corners. Some insignificant petty thieves or minor demons provided barely enough crit points to tickle his teeth.

Even so, with the accumulation of small amounts, his crit multiplier had steadily increased to 135x, and his crit points had finally broken the 100,000 mark.

"Master, you should be content."

Huang Fugui squatted on Lin Feng's shoulder, fanning him with his tail, and said in a tone of "the well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving."

"With your strength, you are the sky of Nan Yan Commandery. If you stomp your foot, the entire commandery city will tremble. I think you can completely lie flat now, take that young lady from the City Lord's Mansion, and live a shameless life every day. Isn't that wonderful?"

Lin Feng ignored its nonsense.

"It's enough for me to break through to the Dan Yuan Realm."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Huang Fugui's eyes lit up. "Master, if you break through, Nan Yan Commandery will be yours to roam freely!"

"You don't understand."

Lin Feng shook his head, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"The path of martial arts, breaking through from the True Qi Realm to the Dan Yuan Realm, is a leap in the level of life, from the inside out. At that time, the qi vortex within the martial artist will resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensing into a Dan Yuan golden core within the dantian."

"This process, although not as exaggerated as described in storybooks, where divine lightning descends from the heavens. The resonance with heaven and earth is real. Once the breakthrough begins, all the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius will converge towards me, forming a massive spiritual energy vortex. At that time, all experts above the Dan Yuan Realm in the entire Nan Yan Commandery will sense my presence immediately."

Huang Fugui listened, stunned, and nodded as if he understood but didn't.

"Master, you mean... the commotion will be too big and scare the children?"

Lin Feng glanced at it coldly, "It will alert the enemy."

He stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and the Li Family's residence, his gaze deep.

"That big fish hiding in the dark hasn't shown its true tail yet. If I break through now, it would be like lighting a torch in the pitch-black night, telling everyone: 'I'm here, come and see me!'"

"When the mastermind sees my strength surge, they will inevitably burrow even deeper. By then, it will be difficult to find them."

A hunter-like cold smile curled up on Lin Feng's lips.

Anyway, increasing martial arts with crit points was an instantaneous matter.

Rather than increasing the risk of exposure, it was better to save it for the most crucial moment.

To give the prey an unforgettable surprise when they were most complacent and least expected.

Huang Fugui listened, completely convinced. His master's scheming was even deeper than the tunnels it had dug in Black Wind City.

Just then, Zhao Tie and Li Rui rushed in again, flustered.

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin! That little chili... no, Miss Ling, she... she's causing trouble again!"

Lin Feng frowned. "Is she sending flowers again?"

This month, what annoyed him wasn't just the lack of crit points, but also this Ling Yue'er.

She was going all out to pursue him.

Sending flowers, sending money, sending luxury cars...

She spared no effort.

"No, no, no!"

Zhao Tie shook his head like a rattle drum. "She's not sending flowers this time, she's sending a challenge!"

"A challenge?"

"That's right!"

Li Rui said quickly, "Miss Ling has made great progress in her cultivation after seven days of seclusion, successfully breaking through to the third level of the True Qi Realm! As soon as she came out of seclusion today, she announced to the entire city that... that your rejection of her was the greatest insult to her martial heart! She wants to fight for her dignity!"

"She has formally challenged you to a Demon Suppression Division martial arts bout! The time is three days from now! The location is the central martial arts arena of the commandery city!"

"And..."

Zhao Tie's expression became extremely strange, "She also let it be known that if she loses this fight, she will give up on you completely and never pester you again. But if she wins... you... you have to marry her!"

Lin Feng: "..."

This news, like a heavy bomb, instantly detonated the entire Nan Yan Commandery.

The previous second, everyone was still enthusiastically discussing the love story of the "overbearing King Yama and the beautiful young lady."

The next second, the style changed drastically, directly transforming from a romance drama into a passionate martial arts drama!

"My heavens! Did I hear that right? The City Lord's daughter wants to challenge King Yama Lin?"

"This plot is too exciting! This is a rhythm of love turning to hate, of lovers becoming enemies!"

"I'm opening the betting! I bet Lord Lin can beat the City Lord's daughter until she cries and goes home to her mommy within one move! The odds are one to eleven, no higher!"

For a time, the entire commandery city was in an uproar, everyone eagerly anticipating the most dramatic and most watched "battle of the century" in Nan Yan Commandery's history.

"Brother Lin, what do you think about this matter..." Zhao Tie asked cautiously.

Everyone thought Lin Feng would definitely ignore such an unreasonable challenge, just like he rejected Ling Yue'er last time.

However, after listening, Lin Feng calmly asked, "Did she really say that if she loses, she'll stop bothering me?"

"Absolutely true! The whole city heard it!"

"Alright."

Lin Feng nodded, a look of relief on his face, as if a huge trouble had been resolved.

"I accept."
