As the palm wind descended, the thug who had rushed forward first let out a miserable scream and was sent flying.
Seeing his subordinate taken down so easily, the burly man was startled and realized he had run into someone formidable.
He immediately shouted, "Get him! Hack him to pieces!"
At his command, the others charged forward with cries.
Chen Feng snorted coldly and spread his arms, drawing a twin-fish diagram in the air. Then, with White Crane Spreads Wings, he swept the thugs on either side off their feet.
He spun around, followed with Grasp Sparrow's Tail, and unleashed a surge of inner force through his palm, sending the man charging at him flying more than ten feet away.
Just then, a sharp katana seized the opening and stabbed straight toward his vital point.
Chen Feng raised his left hand and flicked a finger. With a bang, he knocked the weapon aside, then shifted into Single Whip Push Palm and struck the man fiercely in the chest.
The middle-aged samurai suffered a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood before smashing through the sturdy table and collapsing onto the ground.
Chen Feng then unleashed Move, Parry, and Hammer Punch. A powerful straight punch exploded forth with a burst of air, its formidable inner force striking like a massive hammer and crushing the thugs before him.
In only a few breaths, those fierce-looking grown men had all been knocked down, each one sprawled on the ground and howling in pain.
Chen Feng stretched lazily and glanced at them. "A bunch of amateurs, yet you're trying to act like gangsters."
With that, he ignored them.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and the others' expressions shifted when they saw this.
Naruto's eyes widened. "That was amazing! He took down so many bad guys so easily!"
Sakura, with her pink hair, nodded as well. "His taijutsu really is impressive."
A hint of fighting spirit flashed through Sasuke's cold eyes. He felt that Chen Feng would make a worthy opponent.
Kakashi, however, considered more. With his experience, he could tell that Chen Feng's methods differed from the styles of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
What force does this man belong to...?
At that moment, Chen Feng returned to his stall.
Although the table had been smashed, it did not affect his determination to slack off. He lay back in his chair, narrowed his eyes, and basked in the sun.
At the same time, a panel appeared in his mind, displaying his personal status information:
Host: Chen Feng Reputation: 124 (Unknown) Skills: Pure Yang Limitless Skill (First Glimpse of the Path), Tai Chi Fist (Slightly Accomplished) Feng Hou Qi Men (???) Passive Skill: Billionaire Pauper
Looking at the updated information on the panel, Chen Feng grumbled inwardly, They really were just cannon fodder. So many people only gave me two reputation points.
At this rate, when will I ever unlock Qimen Dunjia...?
As a transmigrator, a golden finger was naturally essential. Not long after arriving in this world, he had awakened the Dao Sect Rise System. Its main mission was to make the Dao School flourish in this world.
Those supreme techniques had been part of the grand gift package he received when the system activated.
Reputation was an extremely important resource. Only after it accumulated to a certain level could he unseal or upgrade those powerful techniques.
This passive skill was rather interesting. Billionaire Pauper meant that the host was granted savings totaling one hundred million taels.
However, those one hundred million taels were not paid out all at once, but in installments of one hundred thousand taels per day.
The catch was that he had to spend all one hundred thousand taels before the remaining wealth would appear the next day. It truly lived up to the name "Billionaire Pauper."
Moreover, each daily refresh of money also increased his reputation to some extent. The gains were not much, but even a mosquito leg was still meat.
That was why Chen Feng spent so much money every day helping the poor.
First, it ensured the daily refresh of his money. Second, helping people also raised his reputation.
His current reputation of over one hundred had basically all been earned this way.
However, the Land of Waves had too small a population and was cut off from the outside world. If he relied solely on this method to accumulate enough reputation, he had no idea how many years it would take.
At that thought, he sighed inwardly. But he quickly cast those troubles aside. He would just let nature take its course. Rather than overthinking things, he might as well enjoy his current leisure time.
"Enjoy life while you can—take more naps and eat more meals!"
He muttered to himself, then closed his eyes, intending to catch up on some sleep.
Just then, he felt the light before him dim slightly, as though the sunlight in front of him had been blocked.
Opening his eyes, he saw several men and women of different ages and appearances standing before him. They were Kakashi's group.
Chen Feng's heart stirred, but he did not reveal much emotion. Squinting at the middle-aged man, he said, "Mr. Tazuna, how have you been? What have you been busy with lately?"
Tazuna replied with a smile, "I've been building the bridge, so I went to the Land of Fire and invited a few shinobi from Konoha Village to help."
As he spoke, he introduced Chen Feng to Kakashi and the others. "This is Taoist Chen Feng. He's a good man. Every day, he spends quite a bit of money helping the poor people here."
"Chen Feng? What a strange name."
Sakura said this with a slight frown.
Naruto, on the other hand, introduced himself enthusiastically. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to become Naruto!"
Kakashi glanced at the young man before him and said, "Your taijutsu is quite good, little brother. Where do you come from?"
Chen Feng naturally knew that the other man was probing his background. Smiling, he said, "The Dao School."
"The Dao School?"
Kakashi's eyes flickered. The name was unfamiliar to him; he did not seem to have heard of it before.
Chen Feng explained, "The Dao School has lived in seclusion for a long time, so not many people know of it."
Hearing this, Kakashi nodded. Although the Five Great Shinobi Villages now dominated the world, there were still some forces that had grown weary of war and chosen to live hidden from the world. This previously unheard-of Dao School might be one of them.
Just then, Naruto noticed the banner beside him and asked in surprise, "Hey, Brother Chen Feng, can you tell fortunes too?"
Chen Feng nodded. "I know a little."
Naruto immediately became interested. "Then hurry and tell me whether I can become Naruto in the future!"
Chen Feng smiled. "All right."
As he spoke, he examined Naruto's features and pretended to calculate on his fingers. Then a trace of sorrow appeared on his face. "Poor child... Your parents both died when you were just born..."
