Chapter 11

As the pill entered his throat, it instantly melted into a liquid that flowed down to his chest and abdomen. The powerful medicinal energy contained within suddenly burst forth in Wei Changfeng's body, sending waves of heat rapidly spreading to his internal organs and limbs!

The Tiger Strength Pill is a second-grade pill, capable of stimulating a warrior's potential and significantly increasing their strength in a short period. A single low-grade pill is enough to increase one's strength by a hundred pounds.

However, Wei Changfeng had taken two pills, both of which were mid-grade Tiger Strength Pills. The intensity of the medicinal energy was unimaginable!

Medicine is three parts toxic, and his method was undoubtedly very dangerous. If the medicinal energy exceeded his body's maximum capacity, he would either die on the spot or suffer severe internal injuries.

But Wei Changfeng had no choice. His opponents were not ordinary people and had a significant numerical advantage. If he didn't fight with all his might at this moment, he would lose his legs!

"Ha!"

Stimulated by the pill, Wei Changfeng's originally frail body suddenly grew taller. The muscles on his legs and arms bulged, and the veins under his skin swelled like wriggling earthworms.

His eyes widened in anger, and his usually handsome face turned red, revealing a fierce expression!

The man in plain clothes who was approaching Wei Changfeng from the front was intimidated by his murderous gaze and instinctively slowed his steps.

Seizing this opportunity, Wei Changfeng suddenly turned around and faced the two enemies behind him. He leaped toward the man on the right, his legs propelling him forward.

His arms rose simultaneously, his hands forming claws, one aiming for the opponent's throat and the other for his chest. He used the Tiger Claw technique from the True Extreme Five Forms!

The man never expected Wei Changfeng to attack proactively, and the attack was so swift and fierce that he was caught off guard. He was a warrior with the cultivation of the third level of Body Tempering, and his combat experience was considerable. Instinctively, he tilted his head back to avoid the throat-locking tiger claw.

However, he could avoid the upper attack but not the lower one. Wei Changfeng's left claw missed the throat, but his right hand immediately clenched into a fist and struck the man's chest with great force.

Black Tiger Heart Plucking!

Peng!

Crack!

With a dull thud, the crisp sound of bone breaking clearly reached everyone's ears.

The man was struck as if by lightning, and Wei Changfeng's punch sent him flying, landing heavily on the ground several steps away, spewing blood uncontrollably!

The power of a single punch was so formidable!

"Little brat, you're asking for death!"

The man on the left was shocked, never expecting to lose a companion in just one exchange. However, he was naturally fierce and, in this moment, became even more aggressive, drawing his dagger to stab at Wei Changfeng.

But before he could act, Wei Changfeng twisted his waist and turned his body, his right leg sweeping out like lightning, striking the man's left knee from the side!

Crack!

This man suffered even more than his companion. His entire left leg was broken by Wei Changfeng, the broken bone piercing through the muscle and protruding from his body, with fresh blood splattering on the muddy ground, a sight that was particularly shocking!

"Ah~"

He lost his balance and fell to the ground, clutching his broken leg and howling in pain.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Changfeng had severely injured two opponents, leaving them unable to continue fighting.

Originally, he would have been unable to do this. His long-untrained frail body could hardly maintain the strength of the first level of Body Tempering, let alone defeat opponents who were several times stronger.

But with the power of two mid-grade Tiger Strength Pills, using the techniques of the True Extreme Five Forms, and a bit of luck, Wei Changfeng managed to reverse the extremely unfavorable situation.

He turned around to face his last opponent.

The man in plain clothes never expected things to turn out this way. His hesitation and delay earlier had made it impossible for him to support his companions now.

He had thought he was dealing with a minor character, but instead, he encountered a young tiger!

This feeling of being outmaneuvered in a minor situation made the middle-aged man extremely embarrassed and angry. He no longer underestimated Wei Changfeng and was at a loss for how to proceed.

Wei Changfeng clenched his fists and, standing four or five steps away from his opponent, sneered, "What? Scared?"

The man in plain clothes was enraged, waving his dagger and shouting, "Boy, don't get cocky! The Luo River Gang is not to be trifled with. You've injured my brothers today, and you'll pay for it, with interest!"

Under the pressure of Wei Changfeng's consecutive injuries to two men, he revealed his true identity, exposing his inner weakness and fear.

The Luo River Gang was a gang that ran boats and traded on the Luo River outside Jingyun City and had some influence in the city. However, compared to the five major families of Jingyun, they had little reason to be arrogant.

So he had not dared to reveal his background earlier, but now he had to show his true colors to protect himself.

"Luo River Gang? Ha!"

Wei Changfeng said disdainfully, "Do you know what this is?"

He reached into his chest and pulled out his Alchemist's badge, showing it to the man.

"An Alchemist!"

The man in plain clothes was well-informed and immediately recognized what Wei Changfeng was holding. His face changed, and the hand holding the dagger fell limply.

An Alchemist was not an ordinary person anywhere. Even the leader of the Luo River Gang would not dare to harm an Alchemist lightly, as it would bring the wrath of the five major families, a disaster that would destroy them!

The man had no idea that Wei Changfeng was an Alchemist beforehand. If he had known, he would never have taken this job. He was filled with regret and his face turned pale.

Wei Changfeng said slowly, "I know you're just doing a job. If you tell me who the mastermind is, I'll let you leave and won't cause trouble for the Luo River Gang."

The man's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said, "Wang Guan, it's your family's Wang Guan. He paid us fifty taels of silver to break your legs..."

It turned out not to be Liang Tian, but Wang Guan!

This lackey clearly could not bear the humiliation of being beaten by Wei Changfeng yesterday and had come to take revenge today.

Wei Changfeng understood and sternly ordered, "Get out!"

The man in plain clothes was overjoyed and quickly ran over to help his injured companion, who was still writhing on the ground. They left the dark alley in a sorry state.

As Wei Changfeng watched their backs disappear at the alley entrance, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood!

The power of the two Tiger Strength Pills was too strong, and his body was too weak to fully withstand the burst of energy. Although he had broken through and defeated the two opponents, his internal condition was very poor.

The chaotic medicinal energy was out of control, wreaking havoc in his internal organs. Wei Changfeng could only stand steadily by relying on his strong willpower, without showing any weakness.

He was already weak on the inside, and if the man in plain clothes had not been intimidated, he would have been unable to escape and would have been at the mercy of his opponents!

Fortunately, the man was not a powerful expert, and Wei Changfeng managed to bluff his way through.

He collapsed on the ground, struggling to take out the silver needles he had bought at the pharmacy earlier. He gritted his teeth and inserted the needles into the Zizhong, Shanzhong, and Jiutailu acupoints on his chest to release the excess medicinal energy.

When he inserted the needles, they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hands, and by the time he finished, he was drenched in sweat. However, as the medicinal energy dissipated, the burning sensation in his internal organs quickly subsided.

If Wei Changfeng had not been proficient in medicine and had not bought the needles that day, he would have died there in a short time!

By the time it was completely dark, Wei Changfeng had finally recovered enough to stand up, though he was still very weak. He picked up his bag and slowly walked home.

His home was not far from the alley, and he saw the small courtyard ahead, with the door open and lights on in the room. He could even smell the aroma of food.

This scene put Wei Changfeng at ease, and his steps became lighter.

"Mother, I'm back!"

When he entered the courtyard, he found the door to the side room open, and there were two guests in the simple hall: a middle-aged man and a young man in blue.

"Changfeng, you're finally back. There are guests looking for you!"

Muyun Wan came out, her face showing a hint of reproach. "You've been gone all day. These two distinguished guests have come three times, and we thought you had disappeared!"

As she spoke, she helped Wei Changfeng with his bag.

The middle-aged man stood up and smiled, "We were a bit presumptuous, no blame on Changfeng!"

Wei Changfeng was surprised and hurriedly bowed, "Uncle Quan, why are you here?"

The middle-aged man was none other than Ye Quan, the manager of the Ye Family Alchemy Shop!

Ye Quan smiled and said, "I came to congratulate you on becoming an Alchemist. Congratulations, young brother!"

Wei Changfeng smiled, "Uncle Quan, you're joking..."

It was not surprising that Ye Quan knew about his Alchemist certification, as the Jingyun Alchemy Academy was basically under the control of the Ye Family, and the chief Alchemist responsible for the examination, Ye Jian, was also a member of the Ye Family.

So, while a first-stage Alchemist was considered significant to others, it was nothing special to the Ye Family. Wei Changfeng could not think of any reason why Ye Quan would visit him three times.

He had some respect and gratitude for this Ye Family manager. If it weren't for the five hundred taels of silver he had sent yesterday, Wei Changfeng would not have had the money to apply for the Alchemist certification today.

Ye Quan did not explain directly but introduced the young man standing beside him, "This is my nephew, Ye Chaohai, who works with me at the Alchemy Shop."

Ye Chaohai bowed, "Young brother, it's an honor to meet you!"

Although he was polite, his eyes revealed a challenging and不服气 (unconvinced) look, clearly not fully convinced of Wei Changfeng's abilities.

Wei Changfeng returned the bow without showing any emotion.
