Chapter 29

Neither side could attack from a distance with shockwaves, so they could only engage in close combat. Luo Feng once again launched the Arc Slash.

Pierce was greatly alarmed, for he realized that Luo Feng's Arc Slash was incredibly powerful. However, he had no choice but to meet it with his own Arc Slash.

Arc Slash against Arc Slash. Gavin had already set a precedent, and although Pierce's use of this white-rank combat skill was better than Gavin's, the outcome was not unexpected.

"Crack!"

The air blade on Pierce's arm shattered and was deflected to one side, while Luo Feng's Arc Slash came down fiercely.

It's over!

Fear flashed in Pierce's eyes, for he knew he was defeated. Moreover, due to his retreat to the Essence Qi stage, his Aura defense had been significantly weakened, and he might be injured in this battle.

However, Luo Feng's Arc Slash ultimately stopped in front of him. Pierce's body had already sensed the sharp aura, but Luo Feng did not continue the strike. Instead, he coldly said, "Get lost. If you dare to bother Allen again, I won't be so lenient!"

Although Pierce was detestable, he was not as despicable as Gavin, who had bullied him from childhood and wanted to dominate Qiqi. Besides, this guy was from Victoria City. In the capital, being able to enter the training camp at the Fourth Level of Aura was definitely due to connections, meaning he had some background. Since there was no deep-seated grudge, if Luo Feng really injured him, it might cause some trouble. Therefore, Luo Feng let him off.

Pierce's face turned red. He had confidently challenged Luo Feng and boasted, but now he was defeated by an opponent who was much weaker than him a month ago. This was a huge embarrassment.

However, the outcome was already decided. With so many people watching, he could not cheat and had to slink away.

Luo Feng also left the arena and came to his roommate, smiling, "Hehe, Allen, don't misunderstand. I'm not helping you. At the beginning, that annoying guy provoked me for no reason, and I've always wanted to beat him up. This was just a good opportunity."

Of course, that was not what Luo Feng really thought.

From what he knew, Allen, like himself, was only at the First Level of Aura. However, he could not fight opponents of higher levels like Luo Feng. If he had to fight Pierce one-on-one, he would likely be humiliated. Allen was already introverted and reclusive, and if he were humiliated, it would leave a shadow in his heart. Luo Feng had also been bullied by many people, especially Gavin, in Tianwei City before his illness was cured. He was particularly indignant about such bullying, and since Allen was his roommate, he volunteered to take on the challenge.

Actually, Luo Feng was not sure he could win against Pierce. After all, it was his first time trying to fight a higher-level opponent. However, he believed that even if he lost, it would not be too humiliating, and the outcome would be much better than Allen's.

To take care of Allen's feelings, he found an excuse, saying he had already been annoyed with Pierce, so Allen would not feel weak and in need of protection.

Allen was not stupid. Although Luo Feng tried to hide it, he could not fool him. He pouted, "Who asked you to stand up for me? You're just meddling!"

If it were me, that Pierce's training camp would have ended early, and he would have had to stay in Victoria's hospital for at least a month!

Luo Feng just thought he was being stubborn. He patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, Allen, I know you're very capable. If he comes again, I'll let you handle it, okay?"

Even if Pierce had a thick skin, after this confrontation, he would not have the nerve to bother Allen again.

Allen's body stiffened when Luo Feng put his arm around his shoulder, but after a few twists, he did not violently shake off Luo Feng's hand.

Hmph, although it was a bit meddlesome, since he did help me out of good intentions, the matter of taking away my first kiss... well, no, the punishment won't be so severe in the future!

In the following days, Pierce indeed did not dare to come and cause trouble. This guy was quite sensible. Luo Feng's improvement was too astonishing, and he had caught up with him so quickly. As time went on, the gap between them would widen, and provoking him would only bring more trouble. So, the bully Pierce was smart enough to back off, even though the battle had brought him humiliation.

Soon, the fourth holiday of the training camp arrived. After class, Luo Feng left the camp and headed straight for Victoria City.

This time, Demy did not come to pick him up, as Luo Feng had requested from Lucia the previous week.

First, Demy was Lucia's assistant and very busy. Moreover, riding a Pegasus at the training camp entrance drew too much attention, which Luo Feng was not used to, so he decided to enter the city on his own.

After visiting Lucia's home twice, Luo Feng was no longer unfamiliar with the location. He easily found it. This was a wealthy area, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, but after showing the invitation from Lucia, he was allowed to pass without any hindrance.

The beautiful president was waiting at home on time. Whenever Luo Feng arrived, she would set aside all her business affairs. Lucia also wanted to see the effects of the medicinal liquid on Luo Feng as soon as possible.

This time, she found new surprises in Luo Feng.

After entering, Luo Feng excitedly said, "Sister Lucia, the Spirit Medicine Washing really works wonders. I thought it would take a long time to reach the Second Level, but I already have the signs of Aura expansion!"

About to reach the Second Level of Aura?

Lucia's beautiful eyes showed undeniable surprise. It took only about a month to reach the Second Level from the First Level, and he already had the signs of upgrading. What a terrifying speed!

Luo Feng added, "Oh, right, didn't you say it would take nearly a month to digest the effects? But I feel like I've already completely digested it."

This time, Lucia was speechless. The effects of this batch of medicinal herbs were quite powerful, and the digestion time should have been longer. However, Luo Feng absorbed twice the expected amount of medicinal liquid during his first Spirit Medicine Washing and integrated it into his Aura in just ten days. This was simply incredible.

Moreover, the Spirit Medicine Washing was not omnipotent. Although the effects of the first batch of medicinal liquid were excellent, they were not this significant. This was all because Luo Feng's absorption ability was truly extraordinary. He absorbed the medicinal liquid very thoroughly and digested it quickly, with minimal loss.

No wonder his Aura improved so quickly!

I really... found a treasure!

Since Luo Feng was so capable and had absorbed the effects early, Lucia naturally did not hesitate. That night, they continued the Spirit Medicine Washing, and Luo Feng experienced the stimulating and somewhat awkward process of applying the medicine again, but he was more accustomed to it this time.

He stayed at Lucia's house that night and went to the Energy Tower to practice Aura the next morning. However, the afternoon plan changed.

After lunch, Lucia said to him, "Luo Feng, your Aura cultivation speed is unquestionable, even faster than mine when I was young. However, just improving strength is not enough. The Aura level is an important standard for measuring a warrior's strength, but it is not the only standard. Your combat experience is still lacking. At this stage, its importance is not obvious, but when you become stronger, it will become a weakness. There are many examples of warriors with lower Aura levels defeating those with higher levels through rich experience. Therefore, while cultivating Aura, you should also start accumulating combat experience."

Luo Feng agreed, "Sister Lucia, you're right. Okay, I'll find more people to spar with when I return!"

In the training camp, if they were not very close friends, other students usually did not accept sparring requests from strangers. Allen was only at the First Level of Aura, and Luo Feng did not want to fight with his roommate because Allen might be sensitive about losing. However, Luo Feng thought of a suitable opponent—Bart.

When they first entered the camp, the dwarf had briefly fought Pierce on his behalf and was quite skilled, making him a good opponent.

However, Lucia said, "No need to return to the training camp. You have an opponent today."

"Who?" Luo Feng asked, then blurted out, "Sister Lucia, did you hire a professional sparring partner?"

In the training of new recruits by wealthy families, professional sparring partners were one of the auxiliary conditions. They were stronger than the trainees, had higher insight, and could point out the shortcomings of beginners during battles, making it more effective than sparring among students.

Since Lucia could provide the Spirit Medicine Washing, hiring a professional sparring partner was not a problem.

However, the beautiful president smiled and said, "You'll see."

Seeing her mysterious expression, Luo Feng became curious about the identity of the professional sparring partner but did not ask further, knowing he would find out soon.

After resting for a while after lunch, Luo Feng got up and went to the training room. He had been practicing for a short while when the door to the training room was pushed open.

Lucia came in, but the businesswoman had removed her business attire, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and changed into a black martial arts outfit. Her figure was already excellent, and the outfit accentuated her perfect proportions. Her full, firm breasts were prominent, her slender waist was like a water snake, and her high, round buttocks were tightly wrapped in tight pants. Her long, muscular legs were round and solid, and her entire body, from top to bottom, formed an alluring S-shape.

Although she had not continued her cultivation for many years, Lucia's figure remained in perfect condition, without a trace of excess fat.

At this moment, she had less of the businesswoman's sharpness and more of a martial artist's vigor, exuding a different kind of charm. Luo Feng could not help but stare.
