Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the grandfather clock in the living room struck eleven; it was already eleven in the morning.

Next, just as in the original story, Hogg sold the "Fierce Lion" stone carving to a guy named Philip for 600 gold coins.

Lin Feng also followed the original plot, expressing to Hogg his desire to become a master stone sculptor, and Hogg's reaction was not much different from the original.

The sun set in the west, and the crimson glow of the clouds covered nearly half the sky, even dyeing the entire earth red.

Lin Feng then received orders from Hogg to go and clean the ancestral hall.

Having been a country boy, Lin Feng was long accustomed to doing chores, so cleaning the already tidy ancestral hall was a piece of cake. Before long, he had finished cleaning it.

"In the original book, this is where Lin Feng goes to the backyard to find the Coiling Dragon Ring, which is extremely important to him." Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement. The Coiling Dragon Ring was a Sovereign Artifact, and it would play a huge role in Lin Feng's future path to becoming a powerhouse. It could be said that half the credit for Lin Feng becoming the unique controller of this universe in the original book belonged to the Coiling Dragon Ring. If not for the ring, Lin Feng would have died countless times.

"Now that I have replaced Lin Feng, does that mean this Coiling Dragon Ring belongs to me?" At this thought, Lin Feng's heart burned even hotter. Men all love the hot-blooded life of fighting and killing, and Lin Feng was no exception. Thinking of the legends Lin Feng created in the original book, being worshipped and looked up to by countless people, and knowing that these honors would now belong to him, even with his inner resilience, Lin Feng felt it hard to contain himself.

Following the method from the original book, Lin Feng finally found the pitch-black Coiling Dragon Ring. When he saw it, he finally understood why the Lin Feng in the original book had mistaken the dragon patterns on it for earthworms the first time he saw them. On the pitch-black ring, the dragon patterns outlined by a few lines, while vivid, did not fit Lin Feng's aesthetic. No matter how he looked at it, the dragon didn't look like a dragon; instead, it looked a bit like a snake with feet. Could it be that this world also had the idiom "drawing a snake and adding feet"?

Although this wasn't an Eastern dragon, Lin Feng knew it was a Western one. Therefore, he didn't change the original plot and still named this pitch-black, street-stall-looking Sovereign Artifact the Coiling Dragon Ring.

"Should I drip my blood to claim ownership now?" Lin Feng hesitated again. He knew there was an old man named Doehring Cowart inside the ring, and this old man would become his teacher. Regarding the original book, Lin Feng had many regrets, one of which was being unable to resurrect Doehring Cowart.

Lin Feng looked at the ring in his hand and whispered to himself, "Since I have become the protagonist of the Coiling Dragon world, I will make up for the regrets of the original story."

Lin Feng had secretly decided that in this life, no matter what, he would never let Doehring Cowart—his future Grandpa Doehring—end up with his soul scattered for his sake.

Glancing at the sunset outside the door, Lin Feng remembered that it would soon be time for the evening training. Thinking that he would soon see the famous Velociraptor from Coiling Dragon, Lin Feng resisted the urge to immediately drip his blood on the Coiling Dragon Ring.

Running to the front yard, Lin Feng dashed out of the Baruch Clan mansion gate and headed straight for the open space on the east side of Wushan Town. Although Lin Feng didn't know exactly where the training ground was, he remembered it was on the east side of town.

In just a moment, Lin Feng arrived at the open space on the east side of Wushan Town.

By this time, the three groups had already assembled. Hillman was speaking, and upon hearing Lin Feng's footsteps, Hillman's cold, sharp gaze shot over.

Looking at the extremely sturdy middle-aged man before him, Lin Feng knew this was Hillman, who had taken great care of the Lin Feng in the original book. Lin Feng had a very good impression of this man. He ran to Hillman's side, stood still, and raised his head. "I'm sorry, Uncle Hillman, I'm late."

"Today's training task, double the penalty. Join your group," Hillman said indifferently.

"Yes!" Lin Feng responded loudly. He then began to look forward to the imminent appearance of the Velociraptor.

Sure enough, not long after, a booming sound arrived, and the earth trembled with a very rhythmic cadence.

The other children, feeling the earth tremble, panicked, not knowing what was happening. Only Lin Feng stood there unhurriedly, looking confident with an expectant expression on his face.

What Lin Feng didn't expect was that his calm demeanor had been noticed by Hillman, who was standing quite close to him.

"Calm in the face of trouble, diligent in training; perhaps he really does have the potential to reach a seventh or even eighth-rank warrior in the future."

After giving Lin Feng an appreciative look, Hillman led everyone toward the direction the sound was coming from.

Although he had already sketched it out in his mind while reading the original Coiling Dragon, when Lin Feng actually stood before the Velociraptor, which was two stories high and over twenty meters long, he couldn't help but be shocked. With a build like that, even an elephant wouldn't be able to withstand a single stomp!

Next, Lin Feng witnessed the battle between the Velociraptor and the humans, seeing the splendor and power of magic for the first time. He felt it was much better than the anime like Ultraman he used to watch.

The visual, tactile, and all-around sensory experience was incomparable to a screen. When the eighth-rank dual-element mage unleashed the Fire Snake Dance, Lin Feng truly felt the temperature of the surrounding air rise by several degrees out of thin air.

The Velociraptor came and went quickly. Aside from causing some damage to the small town, it did not slaughter the residents. However, after seeing the mage's spectacular performance, Lin Feng's desire to learn magic became even more urgent.

Although Lin Feng held the attitude of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," accepting the mockery of fate and acknowledging his new identity as Lin Feng Baruch, he still couldn't stop worrying about his parents and his little sister. He didn't know if his parents would be able to handle the blow of his mysterious disappearance. And his dearest little sister—she was only fourteen; would his mysterious disappearance have any psychological impact on her? Lin Feng didn't know any of this. But he hoped there was a time dilation between Earth and this world; otherwise, by the time he followed the original plot to become a controller and had the ability to go home, his family would have long since passed away, and that would be...

Shaking his head, Lin Feng stopped thinking about these useless things. All he could do now was use the advantage of being familiar with Lin Feng's growth path to avoid detours, reach the level of a controller as quickly as possible, and then, go home!
