Chapter 4

" Hmm? " In the living room, Ji Ruhua put down the book in her hands, her deep eyes gazing toward the cultivation room, slightly surprised.

" Two hours and twenty-five minutes. " Ji Ruhua murmured, her poetic and picturesque face showing a satisfied smile, "Thirty-five minutes earlier than expected. In my Ji family, if one can cultivate the Nine Dragon True Scripture to the first level within two hours, they are considered a genius in ten thousand; if within one and a half hours, they are considered a prodigy. "

" Feng'er's talent, even compared to the heroes of the Ji family's past generations, is not inferior. "

Ji Ruhua's beautiful eyes sparkled with a mother's affection: "Effort is never in vain, child. I believe you have already discovered the secret of your body, which is one of the roots of your brain domain's regression. However, its existence is not a hardship but a weapon in your hand. With it, you will walk faster and farther on the path of ancient martial artists. "

" Without enduring the bone-chilling cold, how can one enjoy the fragrance of plum blossoms? " Ji Ruhua picked up the book and smiled faintly.

Cultivation Room.

With the naked eye, nothing could be seen, but if one used their heart to sense, they could clearly see that Lin Feng was like a waking dragon, greedily absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. Dense energy from all directions gathered and rapidly flowed into Lin Feng's body.

Absorption of heaven and earth energy!

This is the cultivation method of ancient martial artists.

Using the heart as the source, they communicate with heaven and earth, strengthening themselves. The higher the level of the heart technique, the more difficult it is to comprehend, but the better the cultivation effect.

" What is this? " Lin Feng, who had successfully comprehended the first level of the Nine Dragon True Scripture, was now curious and puzzled. As boundless heaven and earth energy flowed into his dantian, Lin Feng clearly noticed the peculiarity within his dantian. Using internal vision, he could see a strange 'small sphere' at the center of the dantian.

Compared to the dantian, this small sphere was less than one ten-thousandth of its size, but it was very special.

It seemed to have a life of its own, rotating autonomously, and...

It emitted a distinctly different energy aura.

Very strong!

" Stronger than the energy of heaven and earth. " Lin Feng felt a chill, his mind as clear as a mirror. The small sphere seemed to be absorbing energy as it rotated, and as it rotated, energy seeped out from within the sphere, slowly flowing into his bones, skin, meridians...

Its function was very similar to the dantian!

It served as a 'pivot,' just like the dantian, absorbing energy from the outside world and distributing it throughout the body. Wasn't this small sphere doing the same? The only difference was that the 'energy' of the two was different.

Wait!

Lin Feng's heart stirred.

Over the past year, his physical index had increased, from a basic level to a good level for a primary gene warrior. Could this be... because of its existence?

The possibility was very high!

" Perhaps my brain domain's regression is also related to it. " Lin Feng had a hunch.

Although he thought so, Lin Feng knew he had no way to deal with the small sphere. It was completely independent, as if parasitizing within his body.

However, it wasn't all bad.

" At least, thanks to it, my physical index has improved by a level. " Lin Feng said lightly.

Originally, his physical index was among the best for his age, but now... he was at the 'top' level.

...

...

Since opening the door to the world of ancient martial artists, Lin Feng had not left the cultivation room even once.

" Feng, you may not know if you have talent, but you already possess two of the most precious qualities. One is persistence, and the other is being more hardworking than anyone else. " His brother Lin Zhan's words were deeply etched in Lin Feng's heart, and he had been doing just that, even during the lowest point of his life.

November 1st, two months before graduation.

" Whoosh~ " The door of the cultivation room opened, and Lin Feng walked out.

The courses at the Jiaoyang District Primary Gene Academy were relatively flexible, not requiring students to attend, but the 1st of every month was the day for distributing gene fluid. Including the bottle stored in October, Lin Feng could now receive two bottles of gene fluid.

" Whoosh! " Lin Feng threw a punch, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Very fast!

Although it was just a casual punch, there was a noticeable improvement in speed, power, and sensation. Looking at his right fist, Lin Feng couldn't hide his surprise: "I've gotten stronger. I didn't expect my physical index, which should have reached a bottleneck, to still improve. "

An unexpected surprise.

Lin Feng was very clear about his body. On the day his brain domain width almost reached 10%, his physical index should have been strengthened to the limit. Even if the regression of his brain domain width did not cause his physical index to regress, there was no reason for it to increase. The only explanation was—

It.

" It's the small sphere in my dantian. " Lin Feng said lightly.

Over the past month, while continuously cultivating the first level of the Nine Dragon True Scripture, he had also been observing and exploring the small sphere.

As he had guessed, the strange energy seeping out from the small sphere as it rotated indeed played the same role as the energy of heaven and earth—strengthening. It strengthened his body and cells. Over the past month...

The small sphere had grown significantly.

" About three to four times its original size. " Lin Feng mused. Although it still felt very small, like a grain of sand in the dantian, it had indeed grown. As the small sphere grew larger, not only did its rotation speed increase, but the amount of energy it absorbed and seeped out also increased.

However, to him, the existence of the small sphere was still a mystery, and... he was still wary.

Because his brain domain had already regressed once.

...

Jiaoyang District Primary Gene Academy.

" Isn't that the tenth-rank genius? "

" Shh, be quiet, it wouldn't be good if he heard. "

" What a pity. I heard he used to be the rising star of our Jiaoyang District, but an accident damaged his genes, and he lost his wings. "

...

Walking on the gravel path of the academy, Lin Feng looked at the new and fantastic teaching buildings, the floating magnetic castles, and the capsule houses, his eyes filled with nostalgia. He completely ignored the idle chatter and various gazes around him. After the past year, he had overcome his inner demons.

" Only two months left. "

" In two months, I will leave here... "

He felt a deep sigh.

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the many twelve- and thirteen-year-old boys running and chasing each other, full of vitality. In them, he saw his past self, following in his brother's footsteps, growing from a naive boy. Soon, he would leave the academy, enter the wilderness, and fight elemental beasts in the ruins, becoming a true man.

" Feng! " A surprised and loud voice came from behind, interrupting Lin Feng's thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw his good friend Ali, rushing over like a howling wind.

" Slow down. " Lin Feng smiled.

" Ha ha! " Yang Li laughed heartily, stopping and putting an arm around Lin Feng's shoulder, "Finally, I see you, Feng. "

Lin Feng smiled, "Feeling good? "

" How can I? " Yang Li instantly put on a bitter face, "Don't even mention it. My old man is so stingy. I had to beg him for hours before he would give me a little bottle of gene fluid. Feng, tell me, is there such a stingy father in this world? I'm starting to doubt if I'm even his biological son... "

Listening to Yang Li's complaints, Lin Feng was touched.

Father...

What a luxurious word. Since he could remember, he had never seen his father, didn't know his name, or where he was, or if he was even alive. He had asked his mother and brother, but never received an answer.

" Clap! " Yang Li, who was talking animatedly, suddenly covered his mouth when he saw Lin Feng's expression.

As Lin Feng's best friend, he knew some of Lin Feng's secrets.

" Ha, ha, ha. " Yang Li laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Feng, what are your plans after graduation? "

Plans?

Yang Li's question brought Lin Feng back to reality.

Over the past month, he had thought a lot about his future. With the Nine Dragon True Scripture, he no longer needed to enter the Jiaoyang Martial Hall but could choose one of the martial gates in Sunset City. After all, whether in scale, development, or challenges, martial gates were more suitable for him than martial halls.

But, it wasn't easy to enter a martial gate.

" I haven't decided yet. My goal is to join a martial gate, but the city guard is also a good option. " Lin Feng replied.

Each had its advantages. Joining a martial gate offered a better future, while joining the city guard provided more safety and security. But whether joining a martial gate or the city guard, there was a prerequisite: breaking through the critical point and becoming an ancient martial artist.

" Ambitious! " Yang Li's eyes lit up, "When the time comes, we can form an adventurer team and explore the wilderness together! "

" Are you trying to get yourself killed? " Lin Feng laughed.

" If I lose my head, it's just a big scar. What's there to be afraid of! "
