The next morning, Luo Feng got up, washed up, and found that Lucia had already prepared breakfast for him. It was simple, but it was made by her own hands.
Since Luo Feng had known her, the two dinners and this breakfast had all been prepared by Lucia, not by a hired chef. This small detail made Luo Feng feel very warm.
After all, Lucia was the president of the chamber of commerce, and she must be very busy, yet she still took such care, just like a real older sister being considerate of her younger brother.
After breakfast, Lucia took Luo Feng to the Energy Tower, which was actually a protruding section on the top of the tower.
It was indeed not as large as the Energy Tower in the training camp, but the person using it was only Luo Feng, and there was no one-hour limit per day like in the training camp. He could stay inside for as long as he wanted.
When Luo Feng practiced the Taigu Nitian Decision, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his martial qi was growing at an unusually fast rate.
In fact, since he had learned this cultivation method from the old madman, his cultivation speed had been quite astonishing. However, today, it was even faster than usual. This was not just due to the exclusive use of Lucia's family Energy Tower, but more importantly, the energy stored in his body from the spirit medicine washing yesterday had also begun to integrate into his martial qi. At this point, Luo Feng finally realized the power of the spirit medicine washing.
Damn, no wonder those guys from wealthy families are so strong. No matter how hard ordinary people work, they can hardly catch up. Their auxiliary cultivation conditions are just too superior!
Although Lucia said he could use the Energy Tower freely, human martial artists should cultivate martial qi for about one and a half to two hours a day, depending on their individual martial qi constitution. Exceeding this time would have no effect and might even burden the body. Some people with special constitutions or different races might have different situations.
Luo Feng had a full-attribute constitution, and the Taigu Nitian Decision was a miraculous cultivation method, but at the Essence Qi stage, cultivating for three hours a day was already the limit. After spending three hours in the Energy Tower in the morning, he continued to practice in the training ground.
Lucia's family training ground was also very large, with all kinds of advanced equipment. Luo Feng found it very novel and tried everything, and the day passed quickly.
In the evening, after having dinner with the beautiful president, before returning to the training camp, Lucia took out a card: "Luo Feng, this is a joint gold card that can be used in all major banks in the federation. There's some money in it, take it for your expenses."
Although Lucia said there was just some money, given her generosity and extravagance, it was probably not a small amount.
Luo Feng did not take it: "Sister Lucia, thank you, but you've already helped me a lot. I will earn the money I need for living and tuition myself, and occasionally fighting monsters will also be beneficial for my practical experience."
"Alright, as you wish." Lucia did not insist, put the card back, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. Luo Feng had principles, and people with principles also valued agreements with others, even if they were just verbal agreements.
After bidding farewell to Lucia, Luo Feng was sent back to the training camp by Demy. When he entered the dormitory, Aaron was also there. His roommate's absence for a day and a night made him very curious, so he asked: "Luo Feng, where were you last night?"
Luo Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "At President Lucia's house."
Although Lucia had asked him to call her sister, Luo Feng felt it was inappropriate to let others know about their relationship, so he still called her president.
Aaron was greatly surprised: "What, you stayed at President Lucia's place?"
Luo Feng nodded: "Yes, she warmly invited me to stay, and it was already very late, so I slept at her house for the night."
Aaron was puzzled: "Why is she so nice to you?"
Luo Feng rubbed his nose: "Well... I don't know either."
From Luo Feng's tone, Aaron could tell there was definitely something going on, but Luo Feng was unwilling to tell him. It likely involved some personal privacy, so he did not press the issue.
Aaron frowned. It was already strange that Lucia had invited Luo Feng to her house during the last holiday, and now she had called his roommate over again and even let him stay overnight. This was highly unusual.
What kind of charm does this guy have that even the president of the Gale Chamber of Commerce, Lucia, has a special relationship with him...
After returning to the training camp, the effects of the spirit medicine washing continued to work, and Luo Feng's martial qi grew at an extremely fast rate.
A week later, in the evening, in a corner of the training camp's training ground, two figures were moving around.
One of them was Luo Feng, his face filled with unhidden joy. During his cultivation in the Energy Tower, he had discovered that his martial qi had a feeling of wanting to expand outward, breaking through its constraints. For a martial artist cultivating martial qi, this was definitely a very encouraging sign, as it indicated that his martial qi was about to advance to the next level.
If there are no accidents, in another ten to eight days, I should be able to advance to the second stage of martial qi!
Calculating the time, it was almost not even a month.
The higher the level of martial qi, the longer it took to advance under the same cultivation conditions. It took Luo Feng about a month to advance from the eighth stage of Essence Qi to the ninth stage, and from the ninth stage to the first stage of martial qi. Now that he had reached the first stage of martial qi, advancing to the second stage might take one and a half months or even longer. However, the time had actually shortened, which was undoubtedly related to the spirit medicine washing.
Today's cultivation speed was much slower than the first day back at the training camp, probably because the effects of the medicine were about to wear off. However, Luo Feng was already very satisfied because this spirit medicine washing had given his martial qi a significant boost.
The other figure was Aaron. Compared to Luo Feng's excitement, Aaron was very depressed because he had wanted to play a prank on his roommate, especially during cultivation, to give him a good shock. However, no matter how hard he tried, Luo Feng's cultivation was not affected and had even become more efficient.
This week, he had followed Luo Feng everywhere and knew clearly how astonishing his roommate's improvement was. Even he was a bit scared.
All of this started after Luo Feng returned from the president's house.
Could it be that Lucia gave him a spirit medicine washing?
This was the only explanation Aaron could think of. After receiving a spirit medicine washing, one's cultivation speed would indeed increase for a while, but it would gradually slow down as the effects wore off, which matched Luo Feng's situation.
However, Aaron could not understand why Lucia would give Luo Feng a spirit medicine washing, and the materials used must have been quite precious, otherwise, a regular spirit medicine washing would not have had such an effect.
Could it be that the woman who devoted herself to running the Gale Chamber of Commerce, rejected many suitors, and never had a boyfriend, suddenly felt the urge to keep a little puppy?
No, that's not like Lucia. Besides, if she wanted to keep a puppy, there were plenty of handsome young men to choose from. Why would she pick Luo Feng, who, although not ugly, was far from handsome, at most just somewhat pleasant to look at... No, not at all, he was downright annoying!
This can't go on. The debt of taking my first kiss is still unpaid, and I'm so depressed that I'm almost having hormonal imbalances, while he's living a carefree life, always in a good mood!
Hmph, at this point, I'll do whatever it takes.
Let's just get straight to the point. I'll have a match with Luo Feng and then crush him in a very decisive way, leaving him with a heavy blow to his confidence and a permanent shadow. The thought of me will make him tremble with fear, and it will be very satisfying, hehehe...
However, this would expose my strength a bit, and this method is too crude, not showing my skills as the little devil Scarlett...
To hell with it, Luo Feng is a freak, and I can't treat him like everyone else. I'll do it!
With this thought, Aaron said: "Luo Feng, we've known each other for a long time, but we've never sparred. How about a match now?"
In the training camp, it was common for classmates to occasionally spar to improve their practical experience, so Luo Feng immediately agreed: "Sure!"
"I'm very weak, so don't be too harsh on me!" Although he said this, Aaron was almost laughing out loud.
Luo Feng, Luo Feng, I'll flatter you a bit now, and then see how you feel when you are embarrassingly defeated by someone weaker than you!
Luo Feng, unaware of his thoughts, comforted him: "Aaron, don't have too much mental burden. It will hold you back and prevent you from performing at your best. For a martial artist, winning and losing in a match is very normal. Sometimes, losing can help us realize our shortcomings!"
Aaron was speechless, thinking that this guy's words and reasoning were really like the old man's.
Of course, he ignored it and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Kid, get over here!"
Two people appeared not far from the training ground and quickly approached. It was none other than Pierce, whom they had encountered on the first day of the training camp, and his companions.
Seeing Luo Feng, Pierce was a bit surprised, but he immediately snorted: "You're lucky today, I'm not here for you!"
From Pierce's tone, it was clear that he was looking for trouble, and if it wasn't for Luo Feng, it had to be for Aaron.
When did Aaron have a conflict with Pierce? But given this annoying guy's personality, anyone could unintentionally offend him.
