The One-armed Elder asked in a grave voice.

He had used only one percent of his strength to temper Lin Feng's body.

If he had applied even a little more force, Lin Feng would have died without a burial place.

After all, the gap between their realms was enormous.

But just moments ago,

his True Qi had struggled to temper Lin Feng's body.

It was as if Lin Feng had suddenly grown many times stronger!

There had been no change in the aura of Lin Feng's realm.

The only possible explanation was that his Iron Shirt had improved...

But how long had it been?

Not even two hours!

Iron Shirt had actually improved again?!

Lin Feng said, "This junior can clearly feel that my body has grown stronger again."

Hearing Lin Feng confirm it, the One-armed Elder's breath caught. He darted over like a phantom.

Then he examined the inside of Lin Feng's body with his right hand.

The One-armed Elder's expression shifted!

He could feel that every meridian and acupoint in Lin Feng's body had become as hard as Mysterious Iron!

"Your meridians have grown stronger!"

the One-armed Elder murmured, his heart surging like a stormy sea.

Lin Feng hadn't been boasting. He really had deduced the third level of Iron Shirt out of thin air!

What kind of terrifying Martial Arts Comprehension was that?!

Without any advanced Iron Shirt manuals to guide him, he had relied on his own cultivation

to comprehend the third level?!

At that moment, Lin Feng felt that the One-armed Elder was looking at him very strangely.

Unable to help himself, he asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"

He had no idea how long it took ordinary people to cultivate Iron Shirt.

He figured that with his proficiency system, he was probably just a little faster than most.

The One-armed Elder steadied himself, then stared at Lin Feng. "Your Body Technique Talent is astonishing! You deduced the third level of Iron Shirt out of thin air!"

"But unfortunately..."

A look of regret appeared on his face.

In that moment, the One-armed Elder thought of many things.

No one in the entire Wancheng Demon Suppression Division could match Lin Feng's Martial Arts Comprehension.

But Lin Feng wasn't without flaws.

His realm was too low!

At Lin Feng's age, those Heavenly Prides in the Demon Suppression Division had already reached the Houtian Realm.

But Lin Feng was still only at the Body Tempering Fourth Level—a considerable gap.

"Why has Wancheng always been at the bottom among the Demon Suppression Division branches in Nanyang County City?"

"Isn't it because they're all mediocre, with no prospects and only average aptitude?! Their cultivation talent is poor, and their ability to comprehend martial arts and divine techniques is poor too..."

The One-armed Elder thought to himself, giving Lin Feng several long, appraising looks.

There were basically only two ways for veterans of the Demon Suppression Division to earn a promotion.

One was to slay an exceptionally powerful demon. The other was to send talented members of the Demon Suppression Division up the ranks.

At that moment, Lin Feng was exactly the kind of promising talent the One-armed Elder had in mind.

"Have you considered giving up Archery and focusing all your efforts on cultivating body techniques?" the One-armed Elder asked.

Lin Feng was taken aback, then shook his head.

His potential in Archery seemed extremely high.

How could he give it up now?

"Very well. I won't force you."

The One-armed Elder waved his hand, and a Brocade Box appeared out of thin air.

"There are a hundred Body Tempering Pills in here. Take them and cultivate well!"

"Your Martial Arts Talent is astonishing, but your realm is too low!"

"The Demon Suppression Division assessment is coming up soon. Your realm won't look very impressive."

Lin Feng looked at the box.

His breath caught.

A hundred Body Tempering Pills?!

Each Body Tempering Pill cost 2,000 Merit Points to exchange for!

The old man was just giving them to him?

That was incredibly generous!

Lin Feng accepted the box and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior!"

He said nothing more.

The Elder's generosity was an enormous help to Lin Feng.

Once he had grown strong enough, he would never forget this kindness.

The One-armed Elder waved a hand.

Looking at the box in his hands, Lin Feng immediately sat cross-legged, ready to take the Body Tempering Pills and cultivate.

Iron Shirt had already reached lv5. The proficiency required to level it up further was simply too high.

He couldn't focus only on raising Iron Shirt's level right now.

Improving his own cultivation was important too.

What was the point of leaving so many Body Tempering Pills unused—saving them for the New Year?

Seeing Lin Feng start cultivating without a moment's delay, the One-armed Elder nodded to himself.

This young man had exceptional Martial Arts Talent and was very diligent, too.

It was just his cultivation talent that seemed lacking!

At his age, he had only reached the Body Tempering Fourth Level. That was rather low!

"This young man is a little too specialized. Compared to the other Heavenly Prides in the Demon Suppression Division, he's far too weak!"

the One-armed Elder thought.

Then the One-armed Elder slowly left the Training Ground.

At the same time, he looked toward the entrance of the Training Ground and paused in thought.

He raised both hands, and terrifying True Qi surged out like a tidal sea.

It formed a True Qi Gate, turning the Training Ground where Lin Feng was cultivating into a sealed chamber.

This wasn't to lock Lin Feng in. It was to let him cultivate in peace without anyone disturbing him!

Then the One-armed Elder returned to his place.

Lin Feng's comprehension was impressive, but unfortunately, his realm was too low.

In a fight against the other Heavenly Prides of the Demon Suppression Division, he would be no match for them.

But that didn't stop the One-armed Elder from giving him resources to help him grow quickly.

Perhaps he couldn't compare with the top Heavenly Prides of the Demon Suppression Division.

But becoming a Xiantian Realm expert one day wasn't too difficult!

There was no harm in building a bond early.

Time slowly passed.

A full seven days went by.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and emerged from his cultivation.

He had swallowed all the Body Tempering Pills.

His realm had risen from the Body Tempering Fourth Level to the Body Tempering Seventh Level.

The higher he advanced, the more Body Tempering Pills he needed.

Lin Feng estimated that advancing from the Body Tempering Seventh Level to the Eighth Level of Body Tempering would take at least three hundred Body Tempering Pills!

And after that, he would need even more.

Of course, Lin Feng remained calm about it.

The only reason he had cultivated with all his might was to make a stunning debut at the Demon Suppression Division assessment.

Hu Biao had told him before how generous the rewards at the assessment were.

For those rewards, Lin Feng needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible!

"Now that I've reached the Body Tempering Seventh Level, with the third level of Iron Shirt and my powerful Archery..."

Lin Feng thought, Any Body Tempering Realm Ninth Level Martial Artist would be crushed by my strength.

Even low-tier Houtian Martial Artists won't be a match for me!

In just seven days, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

Lu Gang!

His eyes turned cold.

Lu Gang was a Squad Leader and had reached the Houtian Realm.

Lin Feng guessed that he was probably a low-tier Houtian Martial Artist.

So... with his current strength, he had absolutely no reason to fear him anymore.

Remembering the things Lu Gang had said before, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel that there was something suspicious about his father's death.

Back then, his strength had been too meager, so he could only stay silent.

Now that he had the strength, he would get to the bottom of it.

Lin Feng stood up and went to the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion. He bowed respectfully to the One-armed Elder and said, "I will never forget your kindness, Senior."

The One-armed Elder waved a hand. "No need to say more. The Demon Suppression Division assessment is in two days. Make your preparations."

"If you can make a stunning debut and place in the top ten, the rewards you receive will be worth more than a hundred Body Tempering Pills!"
