Wang Baole: I've Grown Stronger, and I Can Eat More Too

silence.

The three people, Cao Youqian, who were gathered around the table, fell silent instantly, all casting questioning glances at Chu Feng.

Master, you've changed. You weren't like this before.

Just then, Elder Bing's voice came from inside the room. "Alright, I'll be right out."

The expressions on Cao Youqian and his two companions changed from confusion to astonishment as they turned their gaze to the doorway of the side room.

How come even Elder Bing, this proud and aloof beauty, has changed?

These subtle movements of the group did not escape Chu Feng's notice. He asked, "Why are you all so quiet?"

Cao Youqian grinned and gave Chu Feng a thumbs up. "Master is indeed amazing."

Snap!

Chu Feng, feeling quite annoyed, tapped Cao Youqian on the forehead with his chopsticks.

"You're going further and further down the path of being a riddle solver."

"Hey-hey."

Cao Youqian chuckled and gave Chu Feng a knowing look that any man would understand.

Chu Feng didn't offer any explanation, as it would only make things more complicated; silence was the best response.

Creak.

As the door opened, Elder Bing appeared before everyone. She was no different from usual; even though she was now very hungry, she still maintained that aloof demeanor.

The Elder Bing appeared, everyone became instantly reserved.

In addition, her quiet and reserved nature immediately cooled the atmosphere at the dinner table.

However, Chu Feng was good at livening up the atmosphere, and he was the first to raise his glass.

"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Little Fatty becoming Dao Foundation cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their glasses in unison.

"Dry!"

After downing a glass of wine, Chu Feng was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

Although Cao Youqian and his two companions were somewhat unaccustomed to the presence of Elder Bing, they quickly showed expressions of enjoyment after just one bite of the delicious food.

Elder Bing was the only one who didn't touch her chopsticks; she was somewhat unaccustomed to eating with so many people.

The last time I ate with a large group of people was decades ago.

"Master, I have a question for you."

Cao Youqian looked excited.

"Ask away."

Chu Feng took a sip of wine as he spoke.

"Do all you elders like the youngest child?" Cao Youqian said, his face still showing a hint of frustration.

Chu Feng put down his wine glass. "Why do you ask that? Haven't I been good enough to you? Or do you want to spar with Little Chen again?"

"The food you cooked today was absolutely delicious, even better than when you comforted me before."

After Cao Youqian finished speaking, he picked up a large piece of monster pork knuckle and demonstrated how to eat it one bite at a time.

This series of actions caught Chu Feng somewhat off guard.

Wang Baole looked at Cao Youqian with admiration. "Senior brother is indeed senior brother. Even his flattery is so clever. I've forgotten how to do it."

Qin Qin was already used to it; if her second senior brother didn't act up every day, she would feel that something was wrong with him.

Seeing that no one's attention was on her, Elder Bing gracefully picked up a piece of meat and took a bite.

Um?

This beast meat is clearly only from the True Fate Realm beast, so why does it taste so delicious? Chief Chu's cooking skills are even better than those of the famous chefs in Dao-Seeking City.

Chief Chu is truly a man of few words!

The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.

Chu Feng didn't say anything more. An hour later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Even Elder Bing showed a rare expression of enjoyment. She glanced at the people around her out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that no one had noticed her, she quickly returned to normal.

"Little Fatty, how does it feel to break through to the Dao Foundation Realm?"

Chu Feng asked.

On the Profound Heaven Continent, only those who reach the Dao Foundation Realm can be considered to have begun their cultivation journey.

The Body Tempering Realm focuses more on tempering the body and stimulating its potential, thereby absorbing more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, some cultivators can awaken their Acquired Physique, or even their Innate Physique, at the Body Tempering Realm.

If one cannot awaken their Dao Foundation Realm, it means their innate talent is lacking.

The Dao-Seeking Academy generally does not accept disciples like this, unless they possess a special skill.

Chu Feng knew that Wang Baole had a hidden bloodline, but the cultivation techniques he had practiced before were unable to activate it.

Right now, we just want to confirm whether this kid awakened a hidden bloodline during his breakthrough.

Wang Baole tilted his head in thought, then said with a very serious expression, "Master, I feel stronger, and I can eat even more."

Elder Bing: "..."

She had assumed that Chu Feng must have some extraordinary talent to have made an exception and accepted a disciple at the Body Tempering Realm, but then this kid said something like that.

Cao Youqian and Qin Qin were also speechless, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time:

Judging from his junior brother's performance, he wasn't exactly a useless piece of trash, so why could he say such a ridiculous thing with such a straight face?

Chu Feng didn't speak, but instead narrowed his eyes and activated the Eye of World Destruction. He stared intently and saw that the seemingly ordinary Little Fatty in front of him actually harbored a ferocious beast within him.

It was a ferocious beast he had never seen before.

"You're still trying to hide your abilities from me, kid. I can already tell you've awakened your bloodline."

???

Wang Baole was completely bewildered. How could Master know something I didn't even know myself?

No, Master said I awakened my bloodline, so I must have awakened it; I was just too dull to know.

Thinking of this, the doubt on his face vanished instantly, and he asked excitedly, "Master, could you please explain this to me in detail?"

This kid really has no idea what kind of bloodline he's awakened.

Chu Feng subconsciously rubbed his forehead; this disciple was becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

Seeing this, Elder Bing spoke up for the Heaven Piercer: "Could it be that even Chief Chu has not seen the bloodline physique that Junior Nephew Wang has awakened?"

Chu Feng nodded slightly. "Not bad, it seems we need to test this kid."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his storage bag and tossed it to Cao Youqian.

"Daqian, take my token and go to the treasury to retrieve the Bloodline Stone."

"Good."

Cao Youqian picked up the token, stood up, and was about to turn and leave when he stopped in his tracks.

"Master, where is the storeroom of our Miscellaneous Dao Institute?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Feng.

Chu Feng said in a serious tone, "The storeroom is on the hill next to the library, the one with the most weeds."

"Please wait a moment, Master. I will be right back."

As Cao Youqian spoke, he scratched his head, thinking to himself: Master, I really didn't mean it. I've been in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute for several years, and I really didn't know that our Miscellaneous Dao Institute had a storeroom.

A moment later.

Cao Youqian descended from the sky, holding in his hand a crystal-clear stone the size of a large bowl.

"Master, the Bloodline Stone has been retrieved."

Chu Feng turned his gaze to Wang Baole: "Little Fatty, just prick your fingertip and then put your hand on it."

"Promise."

Wang Baole stood up excitedly. Following Chu Feng's instructions, he bit his index finger and placed his hand on the Bloodline Stone.

Everyone, including Chu Feng, turned their gaze to the Bloodline Stone.

As Wang Baole's blood merged into the Bloodline Stone, the originally crystal-clear Bloodline Stone suddenly emitted a bright light.

These rays of light converged and formed a ferocious beast that emerged from the Bloodline Stone...
