Panicked Inside

"Pfft..."

Qin Feng nearly spat out a mouthful of 82-Year-Old Blood, growing more convinced that this was no proper system.

These were his beloved friends and family, his own flesh-and-blood brother!

The system tempted him with its voice: "The Supreme Bone can be broken and then reborn, regrown anew."

Broken and reborn?!

Regrown?!

Qin Feng couldn't deny his heart stirred in that moment, but he quickly shook his head and rejected it.

If he really dug out Second Brother's Supreme Bone, Father and Mother would skin him alive, and the image he'd built up over the years would be shattered in an instant.

Harming the enemy by a thousand, losing eight hundred of your own.

"No, I need some quiet!"

Qin Feng shook his head, pushing thoughts of the Supreme Bone aside, and returned to his own small courtyard to begin cultivating.

He'd thought that after knocking out Second Brother's Primordial Ancestral Qi, he could relax for a while—who knew the kid would unreasonably sprout an extra Supreme Bone?

He had to cultivate without a moment's rest, lest he be dragged down and lose his life.

In the small courtyard.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged to cultivate, instantly entering a meditative state.

Unlike the comprehension of the First Heaven, the Second Heaven was clearly far more complex, but its effects were also very pronounced. Besides speeding up cultivation, it also enhanced recovery beyond before.

At the same time, the Heavenly Treasure Gourd hanging around Qin Feng's neck flickered with a soft glow.

It not only helped him focus his mind and prevent qi deviation, but also stabilized his Foundation Establishment Realm first-layer cultivation, while accelerating his breakthrough to the second layer.

With this Heavenly Treasure Gourd, his cultivation speed was at least doubled.

"Such a fast entry into meditation!"

The Tenth Ancestor stood nearby, a look of surprise on his face, his opinion of Qin Feng growing ever higher.

He hadn't grown arrogant from the potential boosted by a hundred-year gestation, nor complacent from comprehending a transcendent cultivation method that put him ahead from the start—he still trained with such diligence and hard work.

This child's future was promising!

Spring passed and autumn came again; five years went by.

Qin Feng was now eight years old. After comprehending the Second Heaven, his cultivation soared like a cheat, breaking through to Foundation Establishment Realm ninth layer in just five short years, only a step away from the Transcendent Realm.

Unlike Foundation Establishment, which opened the dantian and made the body light as a swallow, the Transcendent Realm allowed one to release spiritual energy externally, killing from a thousand meters away.

At this moment—

Qin Feng sat cross-legged in a bath barrel.

Inside was a medicinal bath specially prepared for him by the Qin family, helping him better temper his Physical Body and consolidate his foundation—a perk of being born into a major clan.

"Ugh..."

Qin Feng winced in pain, trying to shoot out his Spiritual Energy.

With a Snap!!

A dull sound came from within his body, and as his frame shuddered, a terrifying stream of air burst forth, scattering everything in the room in disarray.

"He actually broke through?!"

The Tenth Ancestor stood at the side, stunned, staring blankly at Qin Feng in the barrel.

An eight-year-old at the Transcendent Realm—once again breaking the Ancient Wasteland record!

But the Tenth Ancestor only froze for a moment before recovering, not because he had a heart tempered by a thousand years of cultivation, but because Qin Feng's younger brother, Qin Hao, was even more monstrous.

The record Qin Feng set at three for the fastest breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was broken by Qin Hao at just two years old.

Now only five, Qin Hao had already reached Foundation Establishment Realm fifth layer, and breaking Qin Feng's record for the fastest breakthrough to Transcendent before age eight would be a breeze.

"Neither of these brothers is normal!"

The Tenth Ancestor's confidence took a heavy blow.

He felt that compared to these two brothers, he might as well have lived his life as a dog.

"Roar!!"

Qin Feng stood up with a loud shout, releasing his Spiritual Energy to shatter the bath barrel.

Though only eight years old, he was already as tall as a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid, and at such a young age, he boasted eight perfect Abdominal Muscles, his whole body radiating a wild, explosive power.

The first thing he did after breaking through was go beat up his Second Brother.

Although his father is my father, his mother is my mother, and his ancestors are my ancestors, that doesn't stop me from beating him up!

Over these five years, he often used sparring as an excuse to pin Second Brother to the ground and grind him down repeatedly, raking in Villain Points hand over fist. He now has over 240,000 Villain Points.

But this kid really doesn't play fair—fighting him is getting harder and harder.

He's only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he can make me, at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment Realm, feel strained. It also made me realize how terrifying a hundred percent skill compatibility is—he's truly invincible at the same level.

I asked the system about this, wondering if there was a way to achieve perfect compatibility.

The system's answer was simple: just buy a hundred percent compatibility card and use it. The price isn't steep either—only one million Villain Points.

To get that done sooner—beat your little brother while he's still young!

"This kid..."

Ten Ancestor rubbed his forehead in exasperation, knowing another bout of chaos was about to unfold.

But he had no intention of stopping it. The younger brother hadn't lost confidence in defeat; instead, he trained even harder. The elder brother, even when winning, constantly pushed himself to improve.

Such a virtuous cycle was something they were happy to see.

"Eldest Young Master!"

The Qin Family disciples saw Qin Feng and greeted him with smiles.

But when they sensed the unstable fluctuations of energy around Zhou, shockwaves erupted in their hearts.

No way!!

He really broke through to Transcendent Realm!!

In their understanding, even geniuses only reached Transcendent Realm at fifteen or sixteen at the earliest. In the Ancient Wasteland, that was when they could first make a name for themselves, and the impressive ones would already have some reputation.

But now Qin Feng had achieved it at eight years old. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes...

...who would believe it was true?

"Monstrous!"

The Qin Family disciples swallowed hard, terrified by Qin Feng's talent.

Qin Feng paid no attention to their shock. He just wanted to find Second Brother and give him a beating.

Finally, relying on five years of experience, he successfully located Second Brother at the main gate of the Qin estate. A little bean of a kid was sprawled asleep on the Crooked Neck Tree by the entrance.

"Right here!"

Qin Feng circled the Crooked Neck Tree in confusion. In his memory, Second Brother often napped on this tree.

If it were any other kid, he'd think it was just playfulness. But faced with his unreasonable Second Brother, he always felt there was some incredible hidden opportunity here.

The more inconspicuous something seemed to others, the more likely it was the key to the protagonist's comeback.

"Am I overthinking it!?"

Qin Feng stared for a long time but couldn't see any mystery. His gaze involuntarily drifted to Second Brother, who was still sleeping.

To others, it might look like a peaceful, idyllic scene. But to him, it felt like Second Brother was baiting him into digging out the Supreme Bone.

"Originally, my dream was to be a spoiled rich kid, living a life of wine, women, and luxury. But because of this little pest, I have to train hard just to survive."

The more Qin Feng thought about it, the angrier he got. His hand rose high.

With a snap!!

Qin Feng's hand smacked hard onto Qin Hao's little bottom, jolting the kid awake. But instead of getting angry, Qin Hao happily called out "Elder Brother."

No matter how many times his brother spanked him, he still loved playing with him.

As for this—

Qin Feng was panicking inside.

Everyone knows: the warmer the childhood scenes, the more gruesome the death later. Aside from the female lead, whoever interacts with the protagonist leaves faster.

When the halo activates and the King of Hell smiles—"Here, little bro..."
