Chapter 4

"Brother, don't overdo it."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lin Feng patted Lin Qian's shoulder and then walked step by step onto the stage. The entire martial arts club was very quiet. They felt that Lin Feng, who had walked onto the stage, no longer seemed to have the usual sickly appearance.

Du Qiang also vaguely sensed something was off, but he was very confident in his own strength. He was a third-rank martial artist, and his physical condition was almost on par with a professional martial artist. Therefore, dealing with a weak and frail Lin Feng should be easy, right?

"Very good, Lin Feng, watch carefully, Mountain Trampling by Wild Ox!"

This was the first move of the Wild Ox Technique. Du Qiang indeed had some talent, as he could already use the moves of the Wild Ox Technique in such a short time, and he looked very proficient and at ease.

However, in Lin Feng's eyes, Du Qiang's Mountain Trampling by Wild Ox only had the form but not the spirit; it was just a superficial imitation.

Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly, feeling the restlessness inside his body. This restlessness grew stronger and stronger, and finally, it erupted like a volcano, exploding within him.

"Boom."

Lin Feng opened his eyes, but at this moment, his eyes seemed like those of a fierce beast, filled with a savage look. He naturally punched out, also using Mountain Trampling by Wild Ox.

At this moment, Lin Feng seemed to truly transform into a wild ox. When he used Mountain Trampling by Wild Ox, Du Qiang felt as if a fierce wild ox was trampling him fiercely.

"Bang."

Du Qiang's expression became extremely shocked, his face twisted. It felt as if he had been hit by a train, his entire body was battered from the outside in. His arm instantly broke with a crisp sound, and he was directly knocked flying off the stage, landing heavily and fainting.

One punch, and Du Qiang was defeated!

At this moment, the martial arts club was incredibly quiet. They seemed to find it hard to believe that the person standing on the stage was the usually sickly and frail Lin Feng.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Lin Feng, how are you?"

Lin Qian and Qu Chen, the two goddesses, hurriedly ran up to the stage to check on Lin Feng. Lin Qian was one thing, but even a fool could see that Qu Chen had a special fondness for Lin Feng.

This made many members of the martial arts club feel disheartened, and of course, many were jealous. Looking at the vice president Du Qiang, who was lying on the ground unconscious, did Lin Feng look like he was in trouble?

The one in trouble was Du Qiang!

"Quick, quick, take Senior Du Qiang to the hospital."

Someone had already reacted and was hurriedly taking Du Qiang to the school medical office. This martial arts club activity was clearly unable to continue, as someone was injured, and no one knew what might happen next.

"Whoosh."

The professional martial artist Lei Sheng, who had always seemed cold, suddenly looked up and stared straight at Lin Feng, saying, "You have grasped the true essence of the Wild Ox?"

"True essence of the Wild Ox? I'm not sure, but I felt like I transformed into a wild ox for a moment..."

Lin Feng wasn't sure if he had truly grasped the true essence, but at that moment, he indeed felt like he had transformed into a wild ox, his mind filled with madness and savagery. He still felt a bit uncomfortable now.

"Yes, that is the true essence of the Wild Ox. I didn't expect you to grasp it, no wonder you could deliver that punch."

Lei Sheng shook his head and then directly handed a business card to Lin Feng, saying, "This is my card. You have a talent for martial arts. If you're interested, you can find me at the Fengyuan Club."

Lin Feng put away the business card, and Lei Sheng left the martial arts club. Lin Feng was also supported by his sister back to their rented apartment.

After his sister left, Lin Feng quickly checked his attribute panel. Indeed, there was a new change in the skills section.

"Skills: Basic Fist Technique (Proficient, continuous practice can improve to Mastery), Wild Ox Technique (Mastery, grasped the true essence of the Wild Ox)"

Recalling that feeling, especially when he used the Wild Ox Technique in the rented apartment, he clearly felt a sense of savagery, as if he had transformed into a wild ox. This was the true essence of the Wild Ox, but he couldn't control it freely, and it felt like he was losing control.

"Could this be a side effect of gene fusion?"

Lin Feng had a guess. He could grasp the true essence of the Wild Ox so quickly, probably because of his fusion with the wild ox gene. After all, for others, grasping the true essence of the Wild Ox was very difficult, but since he had fused with the wild ox gene, in a sense, he was a real "wild ox." If he was a wild ox, grasping the true essence of the Wild Ox should be easy, right?

The true essence of martial techniques is very important, as it can unleash several times one's own strength in battle, making it extremely terrifying. However, Lin Feng also needed to control the side effects of the gene fusion, absolutely not letting the savage emotions of the wild ox gene influence him, or he might really become an uncontrollable monster.

Gene fusion might have many benefits, but it also had side effects, which required strong willpower to subdue the will of other genes.

However, Lin Feng also thought of a method. He began to focus on practicing the Wild Ox Technique, adapting to the various savage emotions of the Wild Ox Technique, gradually subduing the residual savage emotions within him.

...

The next day was the weekend. Lin Feng and Lin Qian usually didn't have many classes on weekends, and they would generally go home.

Early in the morning, Lin Qian came to Lin Feng's rented apartment to find him. Lin Feng's victory over Du Qiang on the stage yesterday was too surprising, especially for Lin Qian, who knew about Lin Feng's strange illness and was very worried.

"Brother, are you really okay?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I have defeated Du Qiang?"

Lin Feng smiled. With the gene fusion device and the fusion of the wild ox gene, he felt like he had endless energy every day, and his mood had become much lighter.

"I forgot to ask, what exactly happened when you defeated Du Qiang yesterday?"

Lin Qian was very curious but hadn't asked due to her concern for Lin Feng's health.

Lin Feng pondered. He would eventually have to tell his family, but he couldn't mention the gene fusion device. So, he vaguely said, "I've been practicing martial arts recently and have many doubts. I need to go home and have a thorough check-up."

"Right, right, get a detailed check-up as soon as possible. Your health mustn't have any problems."

Lin Qian was also anxious and left the school with Lin Feng. Outside the school, a luxurious black car was waiting, a private car specially dispatched by Lin Feng's parents to pick up Lin Feng and Lin Qian on weekends.

Getting into the car, it slowly started. Lin Feng looked out the window, and his heart gradually calmed down. He was still a bit nervous, unsure if his strange illness could be cured by the gene fusion.

Soon, the car slowly entered a luxurious villa area and stopped in front of a villa. Lin Feng and Lin Qian got out and walked directly into the villa.

"Dad, Mom."

Walking into the villa, they saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking very refined. This was Lin Feng and Lin Qian's father, Lin Xiong.

Lin Xiong had started from scratch and built the vast Lin Group, one of the largest groups in Zhonghai, making him a business tycoon.

Lin Feng's mother, Luo Xiuting, was also a famous fashion designer who founded a fashion group, which later merged with the Lin Group, but she still served as the chief fashion consultant.

In such a family, money was not a problem, and that was why Lin Feng, despite his strange illness, was still alive and well.

Every weekend, Lin Xiong and Luo Xiuting would put aside their busy work to spend time with their son, Lin Feng, because they knew that Lin Feng's days might be numbered.

"Mom, Dad, quickly call Doctor Liu to give Brother a check-up."

Lin Qian said anxiously as soon as she got home.

"What's wrong with Lin Feng?"

Lin Xiong and Luo Xiuting immediately became tense. They knew about their son's strange illness and the possibility of unexpected incidents, so they even had a professional medical room built at home with a dedicated doctor to check on their son at any time.

Lin Qian briefly explained the situation, and Lin Xiong and Luo Xiuting exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief and worry.

"Feng, when did you start practicing martial arts? Is there something wrong with your body? I'll call Doctor Liu to the medical room for a check-up."

The whole family became worried.

"Dad, Mom, I should be fine. I feel good. By the way, is Big Brother not back?"

"Your big brother is busy with work. He has to manage the large company."

Lin Xiong casually explained. The Lin family had three sons and one daughter. The eldest, Lin Yong, was being groomed by Lin Xiong as the company's successor and was always helping Lin Xiong in the company.

The second son, Lin Hai, had entered the military and was already a lieutenant colonel, deeply favored by a general, and had firmly established himself in the military, a source of pride for Lin Xiong and Luo Xiuting.

The third son was Lin Feng, and the fourth was Lin Qian.

In the Lin family, the eldest and second son were the pride of the family. Lin Qian, though young, also had a certain talent in martial arts and had the potential to become a professional martial artist. With the support of the Lin family, her achievements would not be small.

Only Lin Feng, who had been sick since childhood, despite the family's love, could not do anything about his illness. Now, Lin Xiong and Luo Xiuting only hoped that Lin Feng could live a happy life for the remaining years.

Doctor Liu arrived quickly after receiving the call. He did a simple check on Lin Feng but was uncertain, so he said, "Let's take Young Master Feng to the medical room for a comprehensive and detailed check-up."

Thus, the whole family took Lin Feng to the medical room. The equipment in this medical room was almost the most advanced, costing hundreds of millions to build. Only a family as wealthy as the Lin family could afford to build a dedicated medical room for Lin Feng's treatment.

Lin Feng was also very nervous. Although he had fused with the wild ox gene and felt unprecedented energy, he had no confidence in curing his strange illness from childhood.

As the check-ups progressed, Doctor Liu's expression became increasingly serious, and the Lin family became increasingly tense.
