Li Lin had already come up with this plan when he learned that Huang Wei had also found a genius who had awakened a divine ability.

Having his nephew Qian Wei attack Lin Feng and defeat him-preferably cripple him-would undermine Huang Wei's prestige and give Li Lin a better chance of securing the vice principal position.
Everything had been seamless, but now it had all fallen apart.
Qian Wei had lost, and Li Lin had lost his bargaining chip in the contest for vice principal.
Li Lin seethed inwardly, but he sensed Huang Wei's presence nearby. Even if he made a move himself, he would have no chance.
In the end, Li Lin could only snort coldly and leave.
With the fight over, Lin Feng left too.
Back home, Lin Feng opened the two cultivation manuals and began studying.
Two hours later, Lin Feng put down the manual in his hands and rubbed his aching head.
Lin Feng felt a little irritated. Would I have to read cultivation manuals from cover to cover before I could learn them from now on?
If that really was the case, the thought of how many words advanced cultivation manuals contained made his head hurt even more.
Lin Feng still had over twenty thousand Energy Points, so he began upgrading his cultivation arts straight away.
Azure Jade Body Tempering Art: (0/9), experience required to upgrade: 800 Ten Wave-Breaking Forms: (0/7), experience required to upgrade: 500
The Azure Jade Body Tempering Art was more powerful than the Ten Wave-Breaking Forms, so Lin Feng chose to upgrade the Azure Jade Body Tempering Art.
Lin Feng did not care much about the imposing flair of martial techniques and moves. He preferred relying on overwhelming strength to simply blast his enemies apart.
That was why Lin Feng could not be bothered to learn flashy Qi cultivation arts.
Muscles alone were a man's romance.
As the Azure Jade Body Tempering Art continued to level up, Lin Feng's strength grew greater and greater.
Before long, however, Lin Feng had to stop cultivating because he had run out of primal energy again.
Being interrupted left Lin Feng deeply annoyed. The Azure Jade Body Tempering Formula had only reached level five before exhausting all his Energy Points.
Reaching level six would require another 5,000 Energy Points, and maxing it out would take even more.
His Energy Points were stretching less and less far, making Lin Feng frown.
Lin Feng felt he needed to find more ways to gain Energy Points.
For now, things were still manageable; the expenditure of Energy Points was not too great.
Thinking of the enormous quantities of Energy Points that later upgrades would require, Lin Feng felt a slight bitterness in his mouth.
If he kept killing until all the exotic beasts were gone, he could hardly go around slaughtering innocents.
Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered the Essence-Augmenting Pill in his spatial ring.
Originally, Lin Feng had planned to sell the Essence-Augmenting Pill when he ran out of money.
But now, Lin Feng intended to conduct an experiment.
He took out the Essence-Augmenting Pill and tossed it into his mouth. The pill slid straight down his throat and into his body.
Boom! An immensely powerful surge of energy erupted inside Lin Feng.
But the very next moment, all that energy vanished instantly.
Lin Feng froze. That was it?
This so-called Essence-Augmenting Pill Huang Wei gave me couldn't be fake medicine, could it?
Lin Feng felt a little suspicious.
"Congratulations! You have obtained 10,000 Energy Points."
The sudden notification sound brought Lin Feng back to his senses. I've found a new way just like that?
"Hahahaha! I really am a genius." Lin Feng was ecstatic.
With this new avenue available, Lin Feng felt he ought to pay more attention to pills in the future.
His excitement did not last long before Lin Feng thought of another problem.
Pills were too expensive. Far too expensive.
Even the most ordinary pill started at a minimum of 100,000 credits.
And the Essence-Augmenting Point Lin Feng had just taken could not be bought even for ten million credits.
Poverty brought Lin Feng back to his senses. There was no helping it-he had to find a way to leave the city and earn some money.
With Lin Feng's current strength, he could indeed earn a fortune by doing a little business and employing a few tricks.
But earning money through tricks went against Lin Feng's values, and he found doing business far too troublesome.
A man had to earn money with his own two hands.
As for those who came knocking on his door seeking death, Lin Feng maintained that he could only reluctantly accept.
