Crimson Gold Glaze, as Powerful as a Heavy Sniper Rifle

When Lin Feng returned home, a group of children crowded around him.

They missed him, for one thing.

For another, every time he came back from going out, he brought them something tasty.

The moment Lin Feng stepped inside, the children were already drooling.

This time, Lin Feng took out date-paste cakes. Mother Lin and his wife, Zhou Chunlan, did not come over to put them away.

They no longer restricted how much the children could eat each day.

If the children wanted to eat, they could eat their fill in one go.

Because Lin Feng was always bringing pastries home.

Pastries were no longer such a rare treat.

Zhou Chunlan brushed the dust off Lin Feng's clothes. "Husband, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll make you something first."

Lin Feng said, "I had breakfast already. No need to make anything separately for me. I'll eat with everyone at noon."

Mother Lin asked, "Xiaofeng, did you find a buyer for the furs?"

He had only mentioned it casually, but he had not expected his mother to take it seriously.

Lin Feng replied offhandedly, "I found one. The County Town is much better than the market town. It's not as chaotic, and furs fetch a better price too."

Mother Lin said, "That's good, that's good. It would be wonderful if we could live in the County Town.

These past two days, the village has been full of rumors about the Great Hero of Qinghe.

It's not just our Xiaohe Village. The other villages are talking about it too.

Some people even say the Great Hero of Qinghe wiped out the Iron Rod Gang's headquarters. Who knows whether it's true or not."

Sitting in his chair, Lin Feng casually scooped up little Sanbao as he passed by and began cuddling the child.

"It's definitely fake. I heard the Iron Rod Gang has the City Guards backing them.

If the Iron Rod Gang had really been wiped out, the City Guards would definitely be searching everywhere for the culprit."

The Iron Rod Gang being destroyed was merely the villagers' beautiful wish.

Though gangs like the Iron Rod Gang, which oppressed the common folk, could never be wiped out completely,

the common people still hoped they would be destroyed. At the very least, they deserved to reap what they had sown.

If people like them died peacefully of old age, where would justice be?

That afternoon, Lin Feng took Zhou Haitao into the mountains to hunt and brought down a huge wild deer.

That was enough for the family to eat well for several more days.

The night passed without incident.

By the next morning,

Lin Feng had accumulated eight Breakthrough Points.

He could finally bring Crimson Gold Glaze to the entry level.

Lin Feng was somewhat impatient.

He was about to gain entry into the peerless martial art Crimson Gold Glaze. He did not know how powerful it would be, nor did he know how much it would increase his Life attribute.

Lin Feng wolfed down breakfast in a few bites, then carried a dip net to catch shrimp.

Whenever he made a breakthrough, he wanted to eat shrimp.

Eating shrimp was the most cost-effective option.

If he ate venison at home, one whole deer would not be enough for him alone.

If he went into the mountains to hunt, the journey was far longer than catching shrimp.

Besides, roasting large prey was more troublesome and took longer than roasting shrimp.

With his impatience added to the mix, coming to the little creek to catch shrimp was the best choice.

After two days of recovery, many large shrimp had appeared in the little creek again. There were not as many as before, but there were still enough for Lin Feng to eat.

Most importantly, aside from Lin Feng's family, no one else in Xiaohe Village ate such things at all.

That worked out nicely for Lin Feng.

After catching the shrimp, Lin Feng roasted five or six hundred of them.

Then he directly summoned his status panel and tapped Crimson Gold Glaze.

A vast number of memories of cultivating Crimson Gold Glaze flooded into his mind.

In those memories, he practiced hidden weapons every day according to the methods taught in the manual, yet he could never grasp the knack.

He could only train day and night without rest.

He trained like that for over twenty years.

He threw away every pebble by the stream.

At the final moment, he took out the Iron Beads he had bought more than twenty years ago.

Feeling that a breakthrough was hopeless, he held an Iron Bead in his hand for a long time, unwilling to throw it.

Then, he suddenly felt that this Iron Bead seemed different.

The Iron Bead seemed to have absorbed his spirit and will, becoming part of his body.

As long as he threw it, it would strike wherever he pointed, unstoppable and invincible.

Lin Feng flicked his wrist and threw the Iron Bead.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The Iron Bead flew over a hundred meters, pierced through three or four large trees, and finally embedded itself in another tree.

Lin Feng dug a pebble out of the soil and held it in his hand. Before long, the pebble too seemed to possess his spirit and will.

When Lin Feng threw it, it likewise pierced through a large tree and struck the target with perfect accuracy.

Lin Feng threw back his head and howled. After more than twenty years, he had finally gained entry.

Over twenty years of cultivation memories had flooded into his mind all at once. Lin Feng spent quite some time digesting them, yet his head still felt somewhat dizzy.

Soon, the familiar hunger came crashing in.

Lin Feng feasted heartily, sweeping all the roasted shrimp into his stomach, then checked the system panel.

Name: Lin Feng.

Life: 35.

Martial Skills:

...

Crimson Gold Glaze (Peerless Art) (Entry Level).

Breakthrough Points: 0

This breakthrough had not only brought the peerless martial art Crimson Gold Glaze to the entry level, but had also raised his Life from twenty-seven to thirty-five, an increase of eight Life attributes.

Lin Feng prepared to test the power of Crimson Gold Glaze.

He picked up a pebble the size of a quail egg and held it in his hand for roughly five seconds.

Sure enough, that sensation appeared—the pebble was part of his own body.

He set his sights on a massive tree a hundred meters away, one that would take a person's arms to encircle, and aimed at a leaf on it.

With a flick of his wrist, the pebble shot out with a whoosh, spinning through the air.

Bang! The pebble punched through that leaf—and through the massive tree behind it as well.

Its power rivaled a bullet fired from a heavy sniper rifle.

Its speed was likewise astonishing, absolutely reaching supersonic velocity.

No matter how skilled someone was at locating enemies by sound, they would never be able to dodge it.

Lin Feng reckoned that he himself could not evade that strike.

Not only was it fast, it also seemed to have a locking effect.

That leaf had been swaying constantly just now, yet it had still been pierced with pinpoint accuracy.

After firing the pebble, Lin Feng felt his arm go slightly numb. It took five seconds before it recovered.

He had to gather force for five seconds before launching a hidden weapon, and after launching it, he needed another five seconds to recover.

If he wanted to fire continuously, there would be a ten-second cooldown.

This was practically a sniper rifle. It was not suitable for rapid fire at all, only for a single killing blow.

Even so, it was already absurdly powerful.

Lin Feng caught a whole fish basket of river shrimp and headed home in high spirits.

His brother-in-law Zhou Haitao had stayed at their home for two days and had become enamored with river shrimp too, especially roasted river shrimp.

He would bring the shrimp back and let the boy roast them himself.

On the way home, Lin Feng considered the matter of his talent.

After adding points this time, he was certain that he was just an ordinary person with no talent for martial arts.

Simply gaining entry into Crimson Gold Glaze had taken over twenty years.

Without the system's help, he could at most have trained it to the first level in his entire lifetime.

That Demonic Path overlord named Jin Liusha was far more talented than him. The man had at least cultivated it to major accomplishment.

Fortunately, he had the system. Otherwise, surviving in this world would truly not have been easy.

In the blink of an eye, another two peaceful days passed.

On the morning of the third day, before Lin Feng's family had even finished breakfast, crying came from the eastern end of the village.

The crying was so helpless that it made people lose their appetite just hearing it.

Lin Feng's whole family put down their chopsticks and went out to investigate.

They saw four or five people gathered together, viciously kicking Old Woman Wang at the eastern end of the village.

More than a dozen others stood around watching the spectacle.
