It was time for the daily absorption of the spirit medicine again.
To be honest, Feng Hao did not want this treatment that others yearned for. If it weren't for this, how would he have fallen to the level of being considered a mediocre talent by everyone?
"Enough!"
The family's only alchemist, the Fourth Elder, Feng Shun, evenly sprinkled dozens of spirit medicines into the wooden tub, said a word to Feng Hao without any emotion, and then walked out on his own.
"Phew..."
Feng Hao let out a light breath, came to the wooden tub, and looked at the warm water that had been dyed a light green by the spirit medicines. He slowly took off his clothes and got into the tub.
Gradually, Feng Hao felt the cool medicinal properties seep into his body through his skin. Originally, these medicinal properties should have been absorbed by his muscles to enhance their resilience, achieving the effect of refining his body and improving his rank. However, when these medicinal properties seeped in, they did not stay at all, directly rushing into his abdomen and then disappearing without a trace.
"How can this be? Why is this happening?"
Feng Hao, who was only a third-level martial apprentice, could not introspect. He could only feel that there was a bottomless pit in his body, constantly devouring these medicinal properties, not leaving him a single bit.
Before long, all the medicinal properties in the wooden tub were completely devoured. Looking at the clear warm water, Feng Hao felt like crying but couldn't.
"Perhaps, I really am a mediocre talent?"
He gave a self-deprecating smile, got up, put on his clothes, and walked out.
At night, the bright moon hung high, and the cold moonlight poured down from the sky.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Feng Hao was hitting the wooden post, his face determined, sweat streaming down his cheeks, and his clothes already drenched. His arms were already somewhat red and swollen, but he kept persisting.
This wooden post was a movable one, in the shape of a cross, with four thick wooden bars. The force you applied to the left bar would be countered by the right bar with the same force. Therefore, hitting the wooden post not only trained one's physique but also the control of force.
When Feng Hao first started hitting the wooden post, he suffered a lot. Each time, he would end up with bruises and swelling, and the force would keep stacking up, just like for anyone else.
"Ah..."
Feng Chen, standing by the window, sighed, his eyes flashing with a complex expression, and finally closed the window.
In the early morning, Feng Hao was heading to the training ground.
"Hao'er!"
Feng Chen called out to Feng Hao, who was about to get up, "Change your clothes, and go to the Wan family with me later."
"Go to the Wan family?"
Feng Hao's eyebrows furrowed, but he responded, "Okay."
Although he didn't know why, he had a vague feeling that it might be related to the icy woman he saw yesterday.
They went out together, along with four elders, each bringing their own direct descendants. The four children all sneered at Feng Hao, which made Feng Chen's brows furrow even more, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, the Wan family was extremely lively. Almost all the major and minor forces in Yulan City had received the invitation, saying that Wan Xin had been chosen by a mentor from the Fengyue Martial Academy and was even directly taken as a disciple, to be sent to the Fengyue Martial Academy for further studies.
This was a great piece of good fortune, and the major families who received the invitation all had envious eyes.
Speaking of the Fengyue Martial Academy, it was a prestigious institution, the largest martial academy in the Xilan Kingdom, located in the capital. All the major and minor forces in the kingdom were eager to send their children there for studies.
Therefore, when they heard that a mentor from the Fengyue Martial Academy had come to recruit disciples, everyone knew that the Wan family was about to produce someone extraordinary.
In fact, this was just a coincidence. The mentor from the Fengyue Academy happened to pass through Yulan City and met Wan Xin, who was out. He discovered that this little girl possessed an attribute, and it was the same ice attribute as his, so he decided to take her as a disciple.
After giving the invitation, the Feng family's group entered the Wan family's hall.
Scanning the scene, Feng Hao saw the icy woman sitting above, with Wan Shuo sitting beside her, smiling and talking about something. Wan Xin stood obediently behind the woman.
On both sides, the heads and elders of the other two families were seated, with their direct descendants standing behind them. The intention of bringing their direct descendants was clear: they wanted to try their luck. If they could be chosen, it would be a great fortune.
When the Feng family's group entered, the scene became somewhat awkward because there were no seats left in the hall. Instantly, Feng Chen and the others' faces darkened.
Wan Shuo, as the head of the Wan family, saw this but did not show any reaction. This situation was noticed by the heads of the other two families and the minor forces in Yulan City, who all looked at Feng Chen with a somewhat mocking gaze.
If the next head of the Feng family was really a mediocre talent, the Feng family's status would definitely fall from its position among the four major families.
"Brother Hao!"
A clear voice rang out, and a figure in a pure white dress ran down from above, ignoring the people around her, and directly held onto Feng Hao's arm.
The little girl had no ulterior motives; she only knew that she liked Feng Hao as her brother, and that was all.
However, her action drew many surprised gazes, as no one knew about the relationship between Feng Hao and Wan Xin, not even Feng Chen.
What was this all about?
Everyone looked at Wan Shuo.
"Xin'er, come here!"
Wan Shuo, with a dark face, stood up and sternly scolded.
"Okay."
Wan Xin pouted, her bright big eyes showing a hint of委屈 (grievance). She looked at Feng Hao with reluctance and, under his comforting gaze, slowly walked up.
"Head of the Feng family, Feng Chen!"
Glancing at Feng Hao, Wan Shuo's lips twitched, and he called out to Feng Chen.
"Please discipline your son and stop him from harassing my daughter. If you can't, I will find another way to deal with this!"
His voice was deep, but his words were so aggressive that the faces of the Feng family's group changed dramatically.
This was a public humiliation of the Feng family, leaving them no face. Instantly, the gazes of everyone in the hall towards the Feng family's group became strange.
"It's not like that!"
"Xin'er!"
Wan Xin wanted to explain but was stopped by Wan Shuo. She could only look at Feng Hao anxiously, her eyes already misty with tears.
"A mediocre talent, do you deserve my daughter?"
Wan Shuo directly pointed at Feng Hao in front of everyone.
"You!"
Feng Chen's body trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The Feng family's face was almost completely lost. The direct descendants of the other elders who came with them all looked at Feng Hao with resentment.
