Chapter 5: The Derivative Decision

In the sky, the stars twinkled, and the silver moon hung high, making the entire Yulan City seem particularly quiet.

The constantly flickering stars were like Feng Hao's mood, extremely restless.

That incident had already been two days ago, and tomorrow was the day for the Feng family to re-elect the head of the family. It seemed that nothing could change this.

After completing his cultivation, Feng Hao did not return to his room but walked out of the Feng residence, slowly heading towards the outskirts of the city.

Unconsciously, he found himself under the redwood tree on the small hill.

Sitting atop the tree, he gazed at the stars in the sky and listened to the faint roars of beasts from the Magic Beast Mountains, gradually calming down.

"Strength, without strength, there is nothing, not even dignity."

The young man's brows furrowed slightly, and his fists clenched unconsciously. "I will never let such humiliation happen again!"

Over these few days, whenever Feng Hao closed his eyes, the scene from the Wan family hall would replay in his mind.

His heart felt as if a knife was cutting it, making his body tremble.

"I will change all of this!"

Feng Hao's gaze became resolute, as if he had made a firm decision.

Reaching out with his left hand, he pulled out an extremely ancient ring hanging around his neck. After some thought, he decisively broke the thread and held the ring in his hand.

"Come out!"

He spoke to the ring in his hand.

"Hehe."

Suddenly, a hoarse and strange laugh came from the ring, followed by a faint glow that formed a transparent and tall old man.

Feng Hao watched this calmly, as if he had expected it.

"Hehe, have you thought it through?"

The old man looked at Feng Hao with a smile, his lips curling into a strange grin.

"Yes!"

The young man nodded seriously.

"Once you choose, there's no turning back. Turning back means death!"

The old man's smile faded, and his eyes fixed on Feng Hao.

"Even if it means death, I will wash away this humiliation!"

Gritting his teeth, the young man's gaze did not waver.

"Very well!"

After a moment, the old man smiled in satisfaction and said slowly, "I've told you before, those with the 'Void Martial' constitution must cultivate the 'Derivative Decision.' Otherwise, you will never become a martial artist in your lifetime!"

When Feng Hao was very young, he was hit by this ring that fell from the sky. The old man who called himself Furen appeared before him and asked him to cultivate a secret manual called the 'Derivative Decision.'

The 'Derivative Decision' can only be cultivated by those with the 'Void Martial' constitution, and Furen himself cultivated the 'Derivative Decision.'

It wasn't a big deal at first, but once you start cultivating the 'Derivative Decision,' you must activate the 'Void Martial' constitution. Once activated, it cannot be stopped, as this constitution will continuously consume your 'Martial Power.' If you do not advance, you will regress, and in severe cases, it could lead to disability or death.

The mention of death scared the young Feng Hao. Who isn't afraid of death, especially a child? He immediately threw the ring away, but every time, the ring would return to him. Eventually, he had no choice but to hang it around his neck with a rope. Over the years, he had almost forgotten about the ring's existence until this incident occurred.

During this time, Furen never forced Feng Hao to cultivate, only saying that if he was willing, he should call him.

This time, being forced into a corner, Feng Hao realized that there were things in this world more painful than death.

And this was the basis for his challenge to Yun Ying!

"What do I need to do?"

Feng Hao took a deep breath and asked.

"Can't wait?"

Furen looked at him with a teasing expression. "Boy, you're too rash. In three years, how can you possibly compete with her? If nothing goes wrong, she will definitely reach the Martial Spirit realm in three years, which means you must advance your 'Void Martial' to the fourth level!"

"Fourth level?"

The young man's gaze remained icy.

"Ha!"

Seeing that Feng Hao was unmoved, Furen couldn't help but sneer. "Boy, let me tell you, cultivating the 'Void Martial' is not as fast as cultivating a martial artist. On the contrary, it is fraught with danger. If you had a choice, no one would want to cultivate this broken thing!"

As he spoke, his lips twitched violently.

"Do I have a choice?"

Feng Hao looked at him with a bad temper.

"Hehe, also, but you don't need to be so pessimistic. Miracles still need to be created by you. If you can find enough 'Martial Crystals,' your progress will skyrocket, and three years will definitely be enough."

"'Martial Crystals'? The legendary 'Martial Crystals'?"

Feng Hao was so shocked he couldn't speak.

'Martial Crystals' are born in some strange places in the world. The emergence of each 'Martial Crystal' causes a bloodbath, and even Great Martial Masters will die in large numbers. A place like Yulan City would never see such precious items.

And Furen said that enough 'Martial Crystals' were needed. How many was that?

Feng Hao could only look at him speechlessly.

"Tsk tsk, I'm not done yet. 'Martial Crystals' can only extend your life. What you need to find is 'Anomaly Crystals,' which are the good stuff."

Furen looked down on him, speaking to himself, almost making Feng Hao faint.

'Martial Crystals' can only extend life?

What could he say?

For martial artists, 'Martial Crystals' are like a second life, derived from the 'Martial Essence' of the world. After a martial artist refines them, they can rapidly increase the 'Martial Essence' in their body. During breakthroughs, they are essential, greatly increasing the success rate of advancing to the next level.

As for 'Anomaly Crystals,' this was the first time Feng Hao had heard of them.

"What? Afraid?"

To be honest, Feng Hao was indeed intimidated, but thinking of his vow, his gaze became resolute again.

"I will cultivate the 'Derivative Decision'!"

The young man's voice was firm and resounding.

Death is indeed terrifying, but dignity is even more important!

"No problem, but you must first enhance your constitution. Otherwise, when you activate the 'Void Martial,' you will burst and die. What's the point of cultivation then?"

Furen agreed readily, glancing at Feng Hao, his brows furrowing slightly.

"However, your body-strengthening technique is not even at the Yellow level. By the time you reach the tenth level of Martial Disciple, three years will be almost over. Try this."

Saying this, he threw a yellow scroll to Feng Hao.

"Xuan-level technique?"

Opening the scroll, Feng Hao was completely stunned by the four words on it.

Xuan-level technique, Tiger Movement Chapter!
