Cousin Comes to Threaten!

There were no further events overnight. When the morning sun of the second day shone into the small courtyard, Lu Feng got up early to cultivate.

Today was a hard-won rest day, and he wanted to use this time to improve the Proficiency of his Cloud-Dispelling Palm.

After a simple breakfast, he began cultivating in the courtyard.

[You used Cloud-Dispelling Palm once, Proficiency +1]

[You used Cloud-Dispelling Palm once, Proficiency +1]

Time passed quickly, and it was now the third quarter of the sì hour. Just as the Proficiency of Cloud-Dispelling Palm was about to reach four hundred points, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking was so loud that it immediately sounded suspicious.

Lu Feng stopped cultivating, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as he spoke, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Lu Feng, open the door quickly. Don't think you're safe just by hiding at home."

This voice belonged to none other than his cousin, Lu Qiming.

Hearing this, Lu Feng frowned slightly. His cousin's sudden visit was undoubtedly about his Constable position again.

So, Lu Feng slowly opened the door. When he looked up, he saw that not only was his cousin Lu Qiming standing outside, but behind him were two burly men in martial arts school uniforms.

According to the Original Owner's memories, Lu Qiming was a disciple of the Tianshan Martial Arts School in the county town. The two men behind him should be disciples of that school.

Seeing Lu Feng emerge, Lu Qiming sneered, "Lu Feng, you finally came out. I thought you were going to hide at home like a turtle!"

Lu Feng looked at him without any emotional fluctuation on his face. He was now a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, while Lu Qiming was only a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist. Even with the two men behind him, he was not afraid at all.

"Cousin, did you come to find me just to say these pointless things?"

Lu Qiming's eyes turned cold upon hearing this, and he said sternly, "Lu Feng, I came to you naturally about the last matter. My father said that as long as you give me your Constable position, my family can offer one hundred taels of silver. This is the final bottom line. If you don't agree, don't blame us for disregarding our blood ties."

Hearing this, Lu Feng simply smiled faintly. "Heh, I didn't expect Uncle to be willing to spend one hundred taels to buy my Constable position. You guys are really generous! However, my answer is still the same as last time: no discussion!"

As soon as he said this, a cold glint flashed in Lu Qiming's eyes. "Lu Feng, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

"Oh?! Then what do you want, Cousin?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qiming immediately gave a signal to the two men beside him. The two burly men, without a word, reached out to grab him.

But before their hands could touch him, two palm strikes landed on the burly men.

"Bang bang!~"

The two burly men were instantly sent flying three to four meters, and the sound of bones breaking rang out twice.

After falling to the ground, the burly men immediately spat out blood, and cries of pain came from their mouths.

Because this scene happened too quickly and too suddenly, Lu Qiming was stunned for two breaths before reacting, then he roared in anger.

"Lu Feng, you dare to hit someone from my Tianshan Martial Arts School, you're courting death!"

As he spoke, Lu Qiming threw a punch at Lu Feng's face, but the next moment, a palm strike firmly collided with his fist.

With a bang, fist and palm clashed, and Lu Qiming was forced to take several steps back.

Then, Lu Qiming looked at him with a surprised expression, "Lu Feng, you... you've been hiding your strength!"

Looking at Lu Feng, a hint of surprise also appeared on his face, "Oh?! Cousin, haven't you been hiding your strength too?"

Although his palm strike just now wasn't his full power, it had reached the attack level of a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist.

But Lu Qiming was not injured in a head-on collision, which meant that the other party's strength had also reached the Sixth-Rank Martial Artist level.

Couldn't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed the name!

However, Lu Feng understood after a moment's thought. The reason Lu Qiming wanted his Constable position was naturally to compete for the Captain position.

The requirement to register for the Captain selection was to be a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist, so it was normal for the other party to have this strength.

Hearing this, Lu Qiming stared intently at Lu Feng, and for a moment, neither of them made a move, just confronting each other.

From the previous exchange, Lu Qiming knew that it was impossible to defeat him head-on.

Continuing to waste time here was meaningless. After a moment, Lu Qiming snorted coldly, "Lu Feng, we'll see!"

With that, the other party left with the people from the Tianshan Martial Arts School.

Watching the three leave, a cold glint flashed in Lu Feng's eyes.

His strength had now been exposed, so he had to be more careful from now on.

After a brief thought, Lu Feng closed the main door and returned to the courtyard to continue practicing the Cloud-Dispelling Palm.

An hour later, the Proficiency of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm had reached 499 points.

As he unleashed another Cloud Sea Waves, a surging power flowed into his body.

[You used Cloud-Dispelling Palm once, Proficiency +1]

[Your Cloud-Dispelling Palm Proficiency has reached 500, the skill Proficiency level has been promoted from Greater Completion to Perfect]

[Your Martial Realm has successfully advanced to Seventh-Rank Martial Artist]

This time, the power surging within him was fiercer than any previous surge. Lu Feng felt as if his body was being scorched by flames.

All the blood in his body boiled at this moment.

Simultaneously, all the moves of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm martial skill integrated into his mind.

This martial skill had a total of twelve palm techniques. The last palm was the most difficult to master; without a certain level of martial talent, it was hard to comprehend.

This final palm was named Gloomy Clouds, and its power was more than double that of the previous eleven palms.

After sensing the changes in his body, an intense hunger followed.

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't hesitate. He walked straight into the kitchen, took out a large basin of cooked beef, and began to eat.

Soon, half of the beef in the basin was gone, and the hunger in his body had significantly subsided.

"Hoo! This breakthrough seems different from before. I feel like my body's strength has increased a lot," Lu Feng said while eating beef.

According to the Martial Realm classification, a Seventh-Rank Martial Artist had reached the late stage of martial arts. Those who could cultivate to this realm were generally considered third-rate experts.

The Great Chieftains of the Caobang Gang and the Blood Eagle Gang were such experts.

Although Lu Feng could clearly feel his strength had improved, he wasn't sure by how much, nor how much damage his full-power attack could inflict.

To know these figures, he would need to get tested at a martial arts hall or the yamen.

Lu Feng pondered for a moment and decided to go to the yamen tomorrow to get tested and, at the same time, register for the Captain selection.

Afterward, with a mere thought, the Proficiency Panel appeared before him.

[Name: Lu Feng]

[Age: 19/50]

[Realm: Seventh-Rank Martial Artist]

[Cultivation Method: None]

[Martial Skill: Cloud-Dispelling Palm (High-Grade, Lower-Tier, Perfected 0/1000)]

Seeing the changes on the panel, Lu Feng showed a hint of confusion.

"Huh?! Why can I still cultivate my Cloud-Dispelling Palm even after reaching Perfected?"

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
