Chapter 67

Area A, Dormitory 102100.

"Whoosh~" The blade flashed, sweat dripped down, and a smile curved at the corner of Lin Feng's lips.

He had succeeded!

After comprehending the Seven Spiral Blade Technique from his near defeat, he had secluded himself for three days and nights, finally transforming the vague spark into his own strength. The first move 'Dragon Entanglement' and the second move 'Flying Fish Spin' of the Seven Spiral Blade Technique were perfectly understood!

"Let's take a shower and eat something first." Lin Feng put away his combat blade and walked out of the high-alloy training room.

After three days and nights of continuous practice, he felt only a slight hunger, but not much else. With the expansion of his brain domain and the enhancement of his strength, his body's endurance naturally improved. Sitting at the dining table, eating the nutritious meal provided by the academy, Lin Feng's expression was calm.

He naturally knew what he had missed.

The school selection tournament.

"I need to apologize to Tutor Yue." This was Lin Feng's only thought.

Once the comprehension of the blade technique is interrupted, it might be a long time before the feeling comes again, so cultivation is often done in seclusion, completed in one go. Of course, Lin Feng knew what was more important, such as picking up his sister or the safety of his family, which was more important than comprehension.

As for the school selection tournament, it was much less important.

Area T, Tutor Dormitory.

"Yue, are you really leaving?" Li Tong had a reluctant look on his face.

"Alright, stop being fake, laugh if you want to." Yue Meng lazily lay on the sofa, her chest high, and her figure fiery and slender in her home clothes.

"How can I!" Li Tong said with a righteous expression, full of regret, "I really don't want you to go." As he spoke, his eyebrows raised, and his tone changed, "By the way, Yue, are you going back to the Merchant Alliance for a report, or do you have other tasks?"

Yue Meng's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said lightly, "I just... want to be myself."

Li Tong tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"Alright." Yue Meng looked at Li Tong, "Are we that close? What's the matter?"

Li Tong chuckled, "It's like this, Yue, you've fought with Xun Zhan, right? Did you notice any characteristics about him, or..."

"No." Yue Meng answered directly, leaving Li Tong stunned.

"I know what you want to ask." Yue Meng said, "If I knew Xun Zhan's identity, I wouldn't hide it from you, but..." A glint of light flashed in her eyes, "In the Battle Academy, I couldn't find anyone like him... an ancient martial artist." She paused slightly at the last three words, seeming a bit hesitant.

"Is that so." Li Tong's face instantly turned bitter, and he sighed helplessly.

If he couldn't find Xun Zhan, he would be in big trouble when Lei comes back in a few days.

At this moment—

"Ding Dong~" The pleasant doorbell rang, Yue Meng's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Li Tong, "No other business, go back, and open the door for me."

Li Tong got up dejectedly, "I'll leave first, then."

...

Whoosh~ The light door opened.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned and greeted, "Tutor Li."

"Are you here to see Tutor Yue? Go in." Li Tong smiled kindly, forcing a smile. Lin Feng nodded and entered. Li Tong was still immersed in his depression and didn't pay much attention to Lin Feng, shaking his head and sighing as he left.

Entering the room, Lin Feng soon saw Yue Meng.

"Sit down, no need to be formal." Yue Meng smiled faintly.

Her attitude towards Lin Feng was completely different from that towards Li Tong.

"I'm sorry, Tutor Yue." Lin Feng apologized, "Yesterday, I was at a critical point in my cultivation, so..."

"No need to explain, it's fine." Yue Meng nodded, "I understand. Actually, participating in the selection tournament was mainly to give you more experience. With your strength, making it to the top ten and qualifying for the competition is no problem, but among the top ten... your strength is not outstanding. Even if you participate in the Sunset City Under-18 New Star Tournament, it would be hard to get a good ranking."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "But Lin Feng, your progress is very fast. I believe that in the next half year, or at the latest next year, you should be able to enter Area S."

"Hmm?" Yue Meng suddenly paused, slightly stunned.

Looking at Lin Feng, she felt an indescribable familiarity, as if...

Xun Zhan?

"Your physique is very similar." Yue Meng's eyes were sharp, "Shoulder width, arm length, leg length, almost identical to Xun Zhan!" Her expression changed slightly, and she suddenly smiled. She had been troubled by Xun Zhan these past few days, how could Lin Feng possibly be Xun Zhan?

One is an ancient martial artist, the other is a gene warrior.

Moreover, Xun Zhan's strength is far greater than Lin Feng's.

It's just a coincidence.

"Did you hear that Tutor Yue is leaving?" Lin Feng asked. This was what Tao Jing told him, and he was also surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes." Yue Meng nodded with a smile, "This defeat made me realize a lot."

Defeat?

Lin Feng was slightly stunned.

Maybe Tutor Yue was unhappy in some aspect.

"Then I wish Tutor Yue a smooth journey." Lin Feng didn't pretend, smiling slightly and bowing, "No matter what, you are someone I respect. If there's an opportunity, Lin Feng will do his best to repay you." A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water.

Lin Feng never forgot.

"Alright, I'll remember that." Yue Meng smiled slightly, joking.

※※※

Leaving Yue Meng's place, Lin Feng returned to the dormitory.

Soaking in the gene liquid, with the enhancement of his physique and the expansion of his brain domain, the consumption of the gene liquid increased, and the absorption speed became faster, naturally leading to a rapid expansion of the brain domain. Combined with the absorption of heaven and earth energy, Lin Feng had reached a 'bottleneck' in just two months.

The absorption speed slowed down, and he was approaching 20% brain domain expansion.

A terrifying cultivation speed!

In just two months, Lin Feng had increased his brain domain expansion by nearly 10%, which would make anyone gape in astonishment. This kind of cultivation speed was unheard of. Monster? Even the term 'monster' is not enough to describe Lin Feng. Perhaps 'demon' would be more appropriate.

"Before breaking through, earn more battle points."

"Once I break through to become an ancient martial general, my combat strength will be comparable to a初级战武尊 (初级战武尊 translates to '初级' meaning '初级' and '战武尊' meaning '初级战武尊'). At that time... I will have nothing to fear."

Lin Feng thought to himself.

Exposure?

At that time, even if exposed, so what.

The strength of a初级战武尊 (初级战武尊) is enough for self-preservation.

...

Xun Zhan returned.

The battle arena was boiling.

This time, not only the fourth-level battle stars but even the fifth-level battle stars from Area S challenged Xun Zhan. However, the students were not trying to defeat Xun Zhan but to exchange techniques, or to witness the legend. With Xun Zhan's strength, he was already the unchallenged king of the battle arena.

The strongest in Area S were two sixth-level battle stars.

Could they match Tutor Yue?

For Lin Feng, earning battle points was not something he opposed. At least... it was much faster than earning money in the wilderness.

Time passed day by day.

In no time, it was the eve of the final of the school selection tournament, and Lin Feng...

Finally broke through.

...

"Boom!" Breaking through the last major acupoint, the Governor Vessel was unblocked, and the brain domain vibrated intensely.

A spiritual light appeared, and the opening of the central nervous system was not just one main meridian but the complete connection of the Conception and Governor Vessels. Main meridians and branch meridians, energy converged and condensed. Inside the body, the second lock was opened, and the hidden potential was fully released.

For ancient martial artists, the opening of the Conception and Governor Vessels marked a new realm.

It was difficult!

In the previous era, only a few ancient martial artists could open the Conception and Governor Vessels.

Even now, breaking through the spirit is quite difficult, especially as it gets harder the further one goes. The enhancement of the body is not just in strength and speed but a comprehensive improvement, including bones, meridians, cells, etc. Therefore, the later stages of breaking through the spirit become increasingly difficult.

Top-notch ancient martial artists need several days to break through the critical point.

And to open the second main meridian of the Conception and Governor Vessels, and expand the brain domain to 20%, it takes at least several months, and this is for top-notch ancient martial artists. For those with average talent, it takes years or even a lifetime, and there are countless high-level ancient martial artists in the Battle Academy who are stuck at this stage.

But Lin Feng only took sixteen hours.

Because of 'it'.

"Whoosh~" "Whoosh~" The spiritual energy surged, and Lin Feng's mind was clear. The opening of the Conception and Governor Vessels brought a change like rebirth. Vast spiritual energy came from all directions, enveloping him, as if he were in a sea of spiritual energy.

Cells continuously split, strengthened, split again, and strengthened again...

Blood flowed rapidly, bones absorbed the spiritual energy, becoming increasingly tough, and the meridians' endurance increased, making him feel like he had undergone an evolutionary transformation. The most astonishing was the Earth Spirit, which also absorbed the spiritual energy crazily, expanding from just one-thousandth of the size of the dantian.

One-thousandth, two-thousandth...

...

The sky was completely bright.

The surrounding spiritual energy had dissipated, and the Earth Spirit slowly rotated, now one-eighth the size of the dantian, capable of holding 60% more spiritual energy than before. But for Lin Feng, this was not the most fundamental change. The true improvement was the complete transformation of his body.

High-level ancient martial artist!

His current abilities in all aspects had reached this level, and once he used spiritual energy...

He would be invincible below the level of a初级战武尊 (初级战武尊).

And with a 20% brain domain expansion, he had entered a new cultivation starting point.

"Almost done." Lin Feng stood up, glancing at his crystal watch, which read 9:00 AM.

"Let's tidy up, it's time for me to... leave."

Lin Feng smiled calmly.

He was not used to a peaceful and comfortable life.

He yearned for challenges and progress. The battle arena could no longer improve his strength beyond earning battle points. He needed to continue exploring, following in his brother's footsteps. And... with his current strength, he was fully capable of entering the true ruins to train and experience the vastness of the world.

Ali was still lying in the hospital waiting for him.

"Wait for me, Ali."

"This time, I will definitely earn enough money to have the god of wealth heal you."

Lin Feng was full of confidence.

Then, he entered the bedroom to pack his things.

"Hmm, I remember the final of the school selection tournament is today, in the morning. What time is it?"

"Forgot..."
