Chapter 10: Peak of the Second Rank

This cultivation continued until nightfall. Only after the darkness enveloped Xu Feng entirely did he stop forming the hand seals. As he stopped, the originally flickering purple lightning mark disappeared, and the lightning that had been wrapping around his body vanished simultaneously.

Upon waking, Xu Feng could clearly feel the power in his body. This feeling of boundless energy was something even his former self had never experienced. This made Xu Feng, somewhat foolishly, punch the stone beneath him.

With Xu Feng's punch, the pain in his fist and the faint mark that appeared on the stone left him stunned. He had actually left a mark on this green stone. This was something Xu Feng could never have imagined; even if he had used all his strength in his previous life, he could not have achieved such an effect.

Xu Feng examined the strength of the green stone and, comparing it with the memories in his mind, he was taken aback as he said, "Peak of the Second Rank?!"

"Could my luck have returned? To reach this level in just a few hours?" Xu Feng was still in disbelief, but upon seeing the faint mark on the green stone, he finally accepted this fact.

"Ha ha..." Xu Feng laughed arrogantly, the long-suppressed emotions bursting forth, his laughter echoing far into the silent night.

He had actually become a Xuan practitioner. In just a few hours, he had become a peak Second Rank Xuan practitioner. As a Xuan practitioner, it meant that in the future, he would no longer be someone anyone could bully.

After reaching the peak of the Second Rank, Xu Feng quickly calmed down. Clearly, this level of strength was still far from enough. Li Wei and Li Hexuan's strength was undoubtedly much greater than his. However, with this start, it gave Xu Feng some comfort.

"Cough! I still need to hurry and cultivate. Otherwise, I'll eventually be taken down by Li Wei." The image of Li Wei's sinister eyes was still vivid in his mind. Xu Feng had no doubt that if Li Wei got the chance, he would finish him off.

After spending the night by the river, Xu Feng returned to the Xiao family estate the next morning.

"Brat! You finally deigned to come back. I thought you had run away in the middle of the night." As Xu Feng stepped through the gate, an angry shout rang in his ears, making him turn his head. He saw a man with a sharp face and a monkey-like appearance looking at him with disdain.

Xu Feng recognized this man. When he first entered the Xiao family, they were in the same batch. However, because this man knew how to flatter the steward and was also cunning, he was the one who had fared the best among their batch of servants.

"Brat, what are you looking at? Aren't you going to clean the latrine for me?" The thin monkey looked at Xu Feng with a sinister and disdainful expression.

Xu Feng pointed to his nose and looked at the thin monkey seriously, "Are you talking to me?"

Seeing Xu Feng, who should have been submissive, speak in such a manner, the thin monkey's anger intensified. He shouted sharply at Xu Feng, "Are you deaf? In this estate, if you don't clean the latrine, who will?"

"From now on, I think it's best if you take care of the latrine. As a new servant of the Xiao family, I believe you will show a spirit of not fearing hardship, fatigue, or dirt, right?" Xu Feng smiled at the thin monkey.

"The hell I will..." The thin monkey was about to say he wasn't that stupid, but seeing that many servants were watching, some of whom he had bullied, he swallowed his words. After all, if these words reached the ears of the master or the steward, it wouldn't be a good thing.

"Of course, I will serve the Xiao family without fear of hardship, fatigue, or dirt. However, no matter what, you have to clean the latrine for me." The thin monkey's expression turned more sinister. The Xu Feng in front of him seemed to have changed completely. In the past, if he said one thing, the other wouldn't dare to say two, but now he dared to contradict him.

"Miss Xiao is learning tattooing today, and I have to teach her. I don't have time to clean the latrine." Xu Feng made up an excuse on the spot.

Upon hearing Xu Feng's words, several servants almost fainted. A big man like you knows tattooing? Damn, you're more likely to know bone-setting! Besides, who doesn't know Miss Xiao's character? She would learn tattooing? That's as likely as you, Xu Feng, flying to the moon.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" The thin monkey's voice was sharp, his face turning a livid shade of anger. This kid was actually daring to defy his orders now. If he didn't teach him a lesson, no one would take him seriously in the future.

"Ah! So you're not an idiot?" Xu Feng looked at the thin monkey in surprise, "Sorry. I didn't know before, I must have misunderstood you as an idiot."
