A Thousand Body Tempering Pills, Lavished on Lin Feng; the Commandery Demon Suppression Division!

After the One-armed Elder finished speaking,

his robe stirred around him despite the lack of wind!

The bearing of a seasoned master emerged.

Lin Feng's heart tightened.

Though his strength had grown tremendously, the One-armed Elder still seemed unfathomably deep to him!

Lin Feng nodded. "Senior, I'll give it everything I've got. Please forgive me if I offend you."

The One-armed Elder smiled but said nothing.

Would a powerhouse of his caliber fear the full-force strike of a Body Tempering Martial Artist?

Of course not. The two of them were practically on entirely different levels of existence.

Once he had spoken, Lin Feng immediately activated Iron Shirt with all his might.

In that moment, Lin Feng's body became like steel. A determined light gleamed in his eyes, and he stood as imposing as a mountain, as though no one could ever knock him down.

Then Lin Feng thrust out his right palm—

BOOM!!

In an instant, he unleashed Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm at Great Success!

An immensely powerful surge of palm force erupted, its might boundless as it blasted forward!

The force was so formidable that, to any onlooker, it seemed almost impossible for a Martial Artist in the Body Tempering Realm to produce.

Across from him, the One-armed Elder, Elder Han, had been wearing a calm, untroubled expression.

But when Lin Feng struck with that palm,

his expression shifted!

BOOM!!

The Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm came crashing in.

The One-armed Elder neither dodged nor moved, standing perfectly still.

Invisible True Qi surrounded him, blocking every bit of power from Lin Feng's palm.

Even his hair did not stir in the slightest when the strike hit.

The gap between their realms was simply too vast.

No matter what Lin Feng did, he could not hurt the One-armed Elder.

But the One-armed Elder's expression was anything but ordinary.

He carefully savored the palm strike he had just felt, and shock gradually appeared on his face!

That kind of power couldn't have come from someone who had only just begun learning Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm.

It had to be at Minor Success at the very least!

The One-armed Elder drew a deep breath. "You've reached Minor Success in Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm?!"

"Come, hit me with another palm. Give it everything you've got!"

Before Lin Feng could answer, the One-armed Elder spoke again.

Lin Feng nodded.

He focused completely and struck with Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm once more.

The air itself exploded.

The palm stopped three inches from the One-armed Elder, only to be scattered by his True Qi.

But now the shock on the One-armed Elder's face was even greater.

"This isn't Minor Success!"

The words burst from him.

Having felt that terrifying power twice, the One-armed Elder had already sensed Lin Feng's level of skill.

It was clearly Great Success!

The One-armed Elder had cultivated this Third-grade Martial Art himself, so he knew its power well.

His eyes gleamed as he looked at Lin Feng, as if he were a Prodigy.

He couldn't help recalling how the Three Captains had struggled to cultivate this palm technique.

Back then, all three Captains had groaned in frustration, convinced the technique was incredibly difficult to master.

Even the fastest among them had needed three hundred days to reach Great Success. Lin Feng had taken just two?

The One-armed Elder remained silent for a long while, his mind turning over countless thoughts.

A genius like this was no fish to be contained in a pond.

A little pond like Wancheng City could never hold Lin Feng.

There's hope! If this continues, Lin Feng's talent will eventually earn him a place in the Commandery Demon Suppression Division!

The One-armed Elder thought to himself, Then, as the one who recommended him, I'll reap plenty of benefits too. I might even be able to return to the commandery!

The commandery meant Nanyang Commandery's main city.

It was more than ten times larger than Wancheng City, and teemed with powerful experts!

There were more opportunities there, and the path to advancement was easier. It was far better than staying in Wancheng City.

The One-armed Elder himself had once served in the Commandery Demon Suppression Division.

He had originally had both arms, but lost one in a battle against demons, diminishing his combat strength.

The powerful figures in the commandery had then transferred him to Wancheng City.

Now, Lin Feng's talent had stirred a powerful hope in the One-armed Elder's heart.

This young man was his chance to return to the commandery!

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The One-armed Elder laughed heartily and walked up to Lin Feng. His eyes shone as if he were admiring a priceless treasure.

"Your realm is still a little low. You've only reached the Eighth Level of Body Tempering!"

"If you were in the Houtian Realm, Bone Corroding Seven Kill Palm would unleash even more terrifying power in your hands!"

As he spoke, the One-armed Elder swept out his hand.

A great many Body Tempering Pills appeared at once.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed.

There were so many Body Tempering Pills. A quick count suggested there had to be over a thousand!

Even the One-armed Elder felt a little pang at handing over so many at once.

Yet his expression remained calm as he smiled and said, "Take them!"

"Senior, this—"

Lin Feng's gaze flickered. He hadn't expected the One-armed Elder to be so generous this time.

Was he really giving him such an astonishing amount of cultivation resources?

Heavens, if he swallowed and refined all these Body Tempering Pills,

he would be close to the Ninth Level of Body Tempering.

Lin Feng was astounded. He had never imagined the One-armed Elder would suddenly give him such a generous gift.

He had come to see the One-armed Elder for two reasons: first, to test his strength; second, to show what he could do.

If he kept his talent hidden, how could those powerful figures ever notice him?

If he wanted to advance, he naturally had to show his potential.

But Lin Feng had never expected the One-armed Elder to give him so many Body Tempering Pills all at once.

He hardly dared accept them. After all, taking someone's gifts put you in their debt!

"Don't worry. Take them," the One-armed Elder said with a smile. "The stronger you become, the more useful you'll be to our Demon Suppression Division."

Lin Feng replied solemnly, "May I ask what I'll need to do in return? Please, Senior, just say the word."

Lin Feng did want all those Body Tempering Pills.

But first, he wanted to understand why the One-armed Elder was doing this.

Surely he wasn't handing out resources as charity just because he thought Lin Feng was talented?

The One-armed Elder was pleased. Lin Feng certainly knew how to handle himself.

He spoke slowly. "I do have some selfish motives of my own."

"With your talent, there's a good chance you'll enter the Commandery Demon Suppression Division and be trained as a Seed Demon Suppression Guard!"

"And if I'm the one who recommends you, I'll have a chance to return to the Commandery Demon Suppression Division!"

"So, take them."

The One-armed Elder explained his intentions.

Lin Feng finally relaxed.

So that was it!

Lin Feng accepted all the thousand-plus Body Tempering Pills and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior!"

"Once I've grown stronger, I'll do everything I can to help you return to the commandery."

Lin Feng's solemn promise made the One-armed Elder even happier!

The more he looked at Lin Feng, the more he liked him.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just focus on your cultivation," the One-armed Elder said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded.

The One-armed Elder then left the Training Ground, leaving Lin Feng to cultivate in peace!

Lin Feng didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately entered a state of cultivation.

In this chaotic world, beset by danger on all sides, he had to seize every opportunity to increase his strength!

He continued cultivating like this, and time slipped by before he knew it.

One day, Captain Chen came to the Scripture Pavilion specifically to find Lin Feng.
