Inner Gang Realm

The top floor of the Wanbao Auction House, a specially made one-way glass private room.

Soft lighting illuminated the interior, isolating the noise from the auction hall below.

Xu Feng leaned back on the spacious leather sofa, gently swirling a wine glass in his hand. Deep red wine left trails along the glass.

His gaze seemed to be on the auction stage below, where a fierce bidding war was underway, but in reality, his mind was immersed in the attribute panel only he could see.

[Name: Xu Feng]
[Breakthrough Points: 140,000]
[Qi Realm: Inner Gang Realm Early Stage (0/300,000)]
[Body Realm: Jiao Body Realm Early Stage (0/300,000)]
[Strength Evaluation: Low S-class (Normal State)]

The data was clear, reflecting his gains and breakthroughs over the past few days.

Before Huang Dongshu arrived, he had been active in S City and several surrounding cities under the alias "Wind Hidden One," specifically targeting B-class and C-class underground cities where expedition teams were preparing to enter after quests were posted.

These rampant "kill stealing" actions had brought him a massive amount of Breakthrough Points.

Finally, after continuously clearing out dozens of underground cities, the accumulated Breakthrough Points had pushed his "Qi Realm" from the late Blood Sea Realm to a brand new stage—

Inner Gang Realm!

The so-called "Inner Gang" was a qualitative change that occurred after Qi and Blood cultivation reached an extremely high level.

Qi and Blood no longer merely strengthened the physical body and provided explosive energy; they could also form a unique, domain-like Qi energy field outside the body.

This Qi energy field possessed many mysterious properties, one of the most prominent being its powerful "adsorption" and "traction" force, capable of interfering with or even controlling the flow of energy and matter within a certain range.

Xu Feng named it "Inner Gang."

Earlier, on the sea, the reason Huang Dongshu felt an uncontrollable pull towards the giant claw's palm was precisely this "Inner Gang" Qi field's traction effect!

With the breakthrough to the Inner Gang Realm, combined with his already formidable physique at the early Jiao Body Realm.

Xu Feng's normal state Strength Evaluation had firmly entered the threshold of Low S-class!

If he were to activate the "Blood Dragon State," his combat power would be enough to rival Mid S-class.

And if he were to use that incredibly draining, yet world-shattering "Phase Two: Heaven and Earth Manifestation"...

He estimated that he might already possess the capital to confront High S-class powerhouses head-on!

This was also why killing Huang Dongshu, a Mid S-class Hunter, hadn't felt like a significant pressure to him; it was like crushing a slightly larger ant.

"Even..."

Xu Feng put down his wine glass, slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up, and with a slight thought.

Hummm—

An invisible, yet sight-distorting strange fluctuation spread out from his palm.

The glass water cup on the table, the decorative celadon vase, and even the invisible wisps of magic power in the air began to move slowly!

They seemed to be gently nudged by an unseen hand, trembling slightly, or slowly shifting towards his palm!

This was not telekinesis, nor was it magic power manipulation, but pure "Inner Gang" Qi energy derived from Qi and Blood, possessing special rule-based attributes.

It exerted an influence on the surrounding environment, creating a "field"!

The "adsorption" and "traction" properties of this Qi energy were extremely peculiar. It didn't seem to simply apply physical force but influenced the "state of existence" or "tendency of motion" of energy and matter on a deeper level.

Of course, "attracting everything" was an exaggeration.

The effectiveness of this traction depended on the target's mass, energy intensity, its own resistance, and Xu Feng's own Qi and Blood reserves and control over the Inner Gang.

Attracting a mountain was obviously unrealistic, but interfering with an opponent of similar level's energy circulation, deflecting long-range attacks, or restricting their movement like he did with Huang Dongshu was more than enough.

"In that case, doesn't that mean..."

Xu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bold and wondrous idea flashed in his mind like a spark.

He thought of the conflict between Mai Xiao Wen's internal Qi and Blood and magic power, and of his newly acquired ability's characteristics...

"Maybe... I can try?"

The night was gentle, in the master bedroom of the villa.

Mai Xiao Wen, wearing a comfortable silk robe, nestled against Xu Feng's broad and warm chest, her face filled with unbelievable surprise as she whispered, "Feng... I... my magic power seems to have... all disappeared? No, it's... transformed! It's become the Qi and Blood power you mentioned!"

Xu Feng had one arm around her slender waist, while the other hand was pressed against the smooth Xinshu acupoint on her back.

His eyes were slightly closed, his mind highly concentrated, controlling his pure and potent Qi and Blood. Through his palm, it transformed into gentle yet tenacious "Inner Gang" Qi energy, carefully probing into Mai Xiao Wen's limbs, bones, and meridians.

His movements were extremely meticulous.

The Inner Gang Qi energy not only flowed where his palm touched Mai Xiao Wen's body but also quietly permeated outwards, forming an invisible force field about two meters in diameter around them.

This force field was not for attack or defense but was finely controlled by Xu Feng, producing a gentle, inward "adsorption" effect.

The targets were the free-floating magic power in the air and the magic power originally within Mai Xiao Wen!

Under the continuous pull of the Inner Gang force field, the light-attributed magic power within Mai Xiao Wen's body, which had originally existed stably, began to be "adsorbed" out strand by strand, wisp by wisp. It slowly flowed along the path of her meridians towards Xu Feng's palm, which was pressed against her back.

This process was slow and gentle, causing Mai Xiao Wen no harm or pain. Instead, she felt an extremely comfortable sensation of her body being unblocked.

At the same time, the magic power in the surrounding air attempting to replenish itself was also "isolated" or "guided away" to some extent by this Inner Gang force field, temporarily unable to surge into Mai Xiao Wen's body.

When Xu Feng sensed that the last wisp of magic power within Mai Xiao Wen had been "adsorbed" completely, leaving her meridians and dan tian empty.

He immediately guided a wisp of his own pure Qi and Blood, like a guiding spark, into Mai Xiao Wen's dan tian. Following the route for condensing Qi and Blood from the Fist Scripture, he began to slowly circulate it.

Mai Xiao Wen's physical condition, due to being a Hunter, had already been strengthened to the point where she could accommodate high-level D-class magic power. Her foundation was quite good.

At this moment, her meridians were empty, and with Xu Feng, the founder of Qi and Blood martial arts, personally guiding her and providing pure Qi and Blood as a "seed," coupled with the Fist Scripture being a cultivation method suitable for humans to cultivate Qi and Blood...

A miracle happened!
