Chapter 62

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the first successful amplification, it became much easier. When Luo Feng had almost depleted his martial qi in the testing ground, his success rate in amplifying the qi bullet had already reached nearly 100%, with very few failures. It was no longer as slow as at the beginning; the amplification process was almost instantaneous, with almost no impact on the speed of releasing martial skills.

The ability of the Spirit Gathering Core made Luo Feng feel very fresh. In the following days, he spent more time in the testing ground. The amplification of the qi bullet was just the most basic amplification and didn't have much effect. He was just using the simplest qi bullet amplification to familiarize himself with how the Spirit Gathering Core interacted with martial qi. Each type of martial qi had a different amplification method, and the higher the level of the martial skill, the more difficult it was, requiring further exploration.

Each amplification also required the Spirit Gathering Core to consume energy, but it wasn't martial qi; it was the core's own energy essence. If the consumption exceeded a certain limit, the amplification effect would weaken. However, the consumption of the Spirit Gathering Core would also be restored with qi cultivation.

After a few days, he gradually learned how to amplify more martial skills, such as the Qi Shockwave. With the weekend approaching, Luo Feng was looking forward to this return to the city.

If Sister Lucia sees my new ability, she will definitely be very happy, hehe!

After class, Luo Feng didn't go to the testing ground again because Lucia's family practice ground also had a testing wall.

With a pleasant mood, Luo Feng arrived at Sainte College, as usual, to pick up Qiqi first.

However, upon entering the college gate, Luo Feng sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

Some people were staring at him with a deep-seated grudge.

"Did you see that? That's Luo Feng!"

"Scarlett openly declared her love for him in public, didn't she? How can this Luo Feng be so ordinary?"

"I also think he's ordinary, but he has good fortune. Not only did Scarlett show him special favor, but I heard that Luo Feng is also the boyfriend of Qiqi, the first-year magic student's beauty."

"What? This is too lucky. What's so good about him? Why do Scarlett and the magic student's beauty like him? I think my conditions are much better than his."

"..."

Luo Feng, who vaguely heard the conversation, finally understood why they were acting that way.

Luo Feng entered and left Sainte College every Sunday to pick up Qiqi, and some people had already recognized him. The incident at Tracy's birthday party last week also made Luo Feng's name known in Sainte College.

The people of Sainte College felt they were a level above Starlight College and had a sense of superiority. Now, the goddess in the hearts of the young men of the Holy City was showing affection for a nobody from Starlight College, which naturally made them feel unbalanced.

It's Scarlett again, truly a headache!

The words of the little witch made Luo Feng feel good in front of Jerry, but it also left a mess.

Just verbal contempt was fine, but bigger trouble was coming soon.

Luo Feng arrived at the girls' dormitory, and Qiqi was already waiting at the gate, with Tracy by her side.

Since Scarlett showed favor to Luo Feng and helped her pay for the birthday party and even gave her a famous wine, Qiqi's snobbish roommate's attitude toward him had completely changed.

Before, when she saw Luo Feng, she didn't show much on the surface, but she was quite disdainful in her heart. Now, she was all smiles and warmly greeted him: "Oh, Luo Feng, you're here. How was your week?"

"Hehe, it was okay. How about you, Tracy?" Although the words of some people at Sainte College on the way made Luo Feng a bit depressed, compared to the joy of mastering the amplification ability of the Spirit Gathering Core, it wasn't much, and his mood wasn't significantly affected.

"I'm the same." Tracy was beaming, reflecting her mood from the previous week.

Although it was thanks to Luo Feng that Scarlett appeared at her birthday party, it still made Tracy feel very honored and became a topic of conversation. In fact, this week, many local boys from Victoria City found her to ask about Scarlett, including some young masters from noble families who usually didn't even know her. This made Tracy's presence almost explode.

However, in front of Qiqi, she didn't want to talk too much about Scarlett.

Behind the two girls, many other girls were gathered, pointing and whispering, all discussing the entanglements between Luo Feng and Scarlett. Girls are the most gossipy, and they all wanted to see what the person the little witch liked was like.

Luo Feng was even more awkward and was just about to take Qiqi and quickly leave when a boy in a blue shirt walked over, came straight to the two of them, and fixed his gaze on Luo Feng: "You're Luo Feng?"

His tone wasn't very good, and his eyes were filled with intense hostility. It seemed he wasn't there to make friends, but Luo Feng still nodded: "I am Luo Feng, you..."

"Go to hell!"

Before he could finish speaking, the boy in the blue shirt attacked, activating his martial qi and releasing a powerful force.

Luo Feng didn't expect him to attack without a word and quickly pushed Qiqi away, then activated his martial qi and blocked with both arms.

"Bang!"

Luo Feng was sent flying by the impact. After all, it was a sudden attack, and the martial qi of the boy in the blue shirt had reached the sixth level of Gang Qi, making the people of Sainte College generally more excellent than those of Starlight College.

Tracy shouted, "Martin, what are you doing?"

This boy named Martin was a first-year martial arts student who had come to ask about Scarlett. At the time, Tracy felt he was acting strange.

In fact, Martin was deeply infatuated with Scarlett. Although he knew he wasn't her type, he couldn't tolerate the goddess showing affection for someone like Luo Feng. Ignoring Tracy, he said with a face full of anger, "Luo Feng, who do you think you are to covet Scarlett?"

Luo Feng didn't want to conflict with him and stopped Qiqi, who was about to use magic, saying to Martin, "You're mistaken. I have no relationship with Scarlett."

"Hmph, who cares about that? I want to show her that you're just a pitiful weakling, not worthy of her!" With that, Martin bent his legs and launched himself at Luo Feng, his Gang Qi condensing outside his body, making him look huge. Combined with the speed of his leap, his momentum was like an armored car, ready to crash through any obstacle in front of him.

Intermediate Blue Rank Martial Skill — Overrun.

If hit by such an attack, even a heavy boulder would likely shatter, and a person would have broken bones.

But Luo Feng showed no fear. Martin's Gang Qi level was similar to Gorin's, but his martial qi had no attributes, making him actually weaker than Gorin. Moreover, Luo Feng was now much stronger than when he fought Gorin. If he fought seriously, Luo Feng believed he could win without a problem.

However, he didn't intend to use a killing move, as that would be overkill. Using tactics and various techniques would take too long, and Luo Feng didn't want the Sainte College teachers to intervene. Even if he wasn't the one causing trouble, he might still be taken to the disciplinary office for questioning, which would delay his return.

Sister Lucia should be waiting for me to have dinner as usual; I can't keep her waiting too long.

Let's end this quickly and make him back off!

I've just advanced to the fifth level of Gang Qi and haven't learned any intermediate Blue Rank martial skills, so I'm one level lower than Martin in terms of martial skill.

However, I can try the amplification of the Spirit Gathering Core!
