Since Black Dragon Mountains's clearing operation, the internal atmosphere of this luxurious team composed of Nan Yan Commandery Demon Suppression Division's top combat forces has undergone an extremely subtle and extremely strange change.
At the beginning, everyone was resistant, humiliated, and unable to accept the tragic fact that they had become "delivery workers."
Dignified Bronze Token Demon Slayer, is he not a respected being wherever he goes?
Now, he has to work as a thug for a kid who is younger than himself, responsible for catching monsters, and then watching the opponent kill him with one blow like a Harvest crop, and swallow up all the "experience" and "drops".
Who can balance this matter?
Especially the proud and arrogant Wei Tiancheng. In the first few days, he seemed to have a dark face the whole time, was ineffective at work, and was slow to catch monsters, with a passive and slow work attitude of "Laozi just won't cooperate, what can you do to me?"
However, three days later, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
That was at Myriad Serpent Valley.
There are thousands of venomous snakes entrenched in the valley, many of which are Second Order monster snakes that are comparable to the Meridian Opening Realm. The snake king is even a Third Order Peak monster that is about to break through Fourth Order--
Jade-Eyed Golden-Pupiled Python.
According to Lin Feng's "script", the five people were responsible for luring the snake king out and capturing him alive.
But at the most critical moment of the battle, Wei Tiancheng "accidentally" slipped with the sole of his foot, failing to block the Snake King's retreat in time, causing the giant python to go crazy and pounce on Wu Yong, the only "auxiliary" in the team.
Seeing that Wu Yong was about to die in Shekou, everyone thought that Lin Feng would come to the rescue.
But Lin Feng doesn't have it.
He just held the knife and stood in the distance, looking at all this indifferently with a look like watching a show, and even nodded with interest, as if to say.
"Good performance, don't do it next time."
In the end, it was Meng Kuo and Chu Mengxi who managed to suppress the furious snake king again with only minor injuries.
Afterwards, Lin Feng said nothing, but slowly wiped his "Killing Blade" by the bonfire that night in front of everyone.
While wiping, he said to Meng Kuo in a casual tone:
"Old Meng, tell me, is this knife a little dull because it has been too long since it has been used to cut down a twenty-three-year-old pretty boy who can also wield a sword? I feel like it has been a little hungry and thirsty recently."
That calm tone and those nonchalant eyes made everyone present feel a chill coming from the depths of their souls.
Especially Wei Tiancheng, he was so frightened that he trembled on the spot and almost dropped the barbecue in his hand into the fire.
Twenty-three years old, sword-playing, pretty boy.
You can just show me your ID card!
He cursed in his heart, but from that day on, he became completely honest.
Not only has he become honest, he has even become extremely positive.
Every time he catches monsters, he is the first one, even more powerful than Meng Kuo.
When tying up the prisoners, he tied them stronger than anyone else, for fear that they would escape halfway and affect Mr. Lin's "dining experience."
As time went by, Chu Mengxi and others gradually changed from the initial resistance to a...
Numb acceptance.
Later, they even found a bit of weird fun in this boring cycle of "catching monsters and delivering food".
For example, they began to study how to capture prey alive in the most efficient, gorgeous and ornamental way, and present it in front of Lin Feng in the most perfect posture.
Meng Kuo, the former "Thunder Fist", has now completely transformed into a "trap master".
He no longer pursues the pleasure of killing his enemies to pieces with one punch, but instead indulges in studying various traps.
How to trap the enemy with the least amount of effort is his greatest pleasure now.
Wu Yong, this former "think tank" has now become the "general director" of the team.
What he likes to do most every day is to design various exquisite "capture plans" based on different terrains and enemies.
Then he directed everyone, just like rehearsing a stage play, to execute the plan perfectly.
Liu Qing, the former "Shadow assassin", is now the "ultimate control".
She no longer pursues a one-hit kill, but instead spends all her energy on studying how to accurately hit the enemy's acupuncture points and nerves.
Let the opponent lose the ability to move instantly without being injured.
Even Chu Mengxi, the former "iceberg goddess", now has a somewhat strange style of painting.
She no longer uses those powerful killing moves, but has developed a new set of "auxiliary swordsmanship" focusing on "freezing" and "binding".
The best skill now is to freeze the enemy into a crystal clear popsicle with a unique shape and send it to Lin Feng.
As for Wei Tiancheng, he has completely given up treatment.
After experiencing that "death reminder", he has now become the most loyal "licking dog" in the team.
"Master Lin! Do you think my binding technique is professional? It's called 'tortoise shell binding'. I'm sure he won't even be able to move his little finger!"
"Master Lin! Are you thirsty? Are you tired? Do you want me to give you a shoulder squeeze?"
"Mr. Lin! That sword strike you just made was truly shocking! The angle, strength, and timing were all perfectly grasped! I would like to call you the 'Number One in the Way of the Sword'!"
The constant kneeling and licking made Huang Fugui, who was hiding in the dark and following quietly, feel in danger.
So, this elite team was supposed to participate in "Hidden Dragon Martial Tournament".
Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the style of painting has completely gone astray.
It has become a logistics support team that integrates "hunting, bundling, and escorting" and specializes in providing "Crit Points buffet" for Lin Feng.
And their "snake-skin moves" along the way, and the "results" they achieved are also brilliant.

[Crit Points:1065422]
In just one month, Lin Feng's Crit Points soared to more than 1 million, and Crit Multiplier also soared crazily to 250 times as if on a rocket.
As for Chu Mengxi and others, although their cultivation base has not improved much, their overall strength has made a leap in their "learning" day after day.
"I understand! I finally understand!"
That night, after another crowd watched Lin Feng kill a Peak Fourth Order Great Demon with a single blow, Wu Yong suddenly slapped his thigh, and a burst of fanatical light burst out in his eyes, as if he had suddenly realized some truth about heaven and earth.
"Old Wu, what do you understand?"
Meng Kuo gnawed on the leg of the monster beast and asked with a blank look on his face.
"Master Lin's profound meaning!"
Wu Yong said excitedly, "Do you think Master Lin asked us to arrest him just for his own convenience? Superficial! Too superficial!"
"Isn't this... isn't this?"
Chu Mengxi and Liu Qing also joined in.
"Of course not!"
Wu Yong glanced at the crowd and talked.
"This is a kind of practice! An extremely advanced way of practice!"
"Think about it, killing someone is easy. But to capture an enemy alive who is equal to or even stronger than yourself without harming your life is more than ten times more difficult?!"
"This test is not only our strength, but also our control, judgment, and teamwork ability! Master Lin, this is a way to force us to break through our own limits and understand the higher realm of martial arts!"
These words were like a revelation, causing everyone present to fall into deep thought for an instant.
It seems...
Does it really make sense?
Meng Kuo thought about it and realized that recently, in order to study traps, he has indeed become more sophisticated in controlling power.
Liu Qing also nodded. Her understanding of human acupuncture points is now more than one level deeper than before.
Even Chu Mengxi feels that his "auxiliary swordsmanship" seems to have touched a hint of the true meaning of martial arts of "conquering strength with softness".
Wei Tiancheng suddenly realized that Mr. Lin's previous death threat was not to humiliate me, but to wake me up!
It tells me not to be obsessed with false fame, but to be down-to-earth and hone my skills!
Looking at this group of teammates who had completely fallen into the state of "self-defeating", Lin Feng just calmly glanced at his attribute panel which had skyrocketed again.
"No, you are thinking too much."
"I'm just plain lazy."
