Chapter 10

Yuan Feng was able to break through to the third level of the Condensation Essence Realm and refine the third move of the Vajra Fist. All of this brought great joy to Yuan Qingyun, but at this moment, when he saw Yuan Feng display a wind-like movement technique, he was no longer simply surprised; he was completely shocked.

Clearly, the movement technique Yuan Feng displayed was undoubtedly a profound martial skill. Movement techniques were rare commodities wherever they were, and he truly couldn't fathom where his son had learned such an incredible movement technique. Now he finally understood why Yuan Feng, at the third level of the Condensation Essence Realm, could beat Fang Li, who was at the fourth level. With such a movement technique, the one-level difference in Essence Energy was nothing.

In the world of martial arts, there is no invincible technique, and speed is the ultimate counter. This is a truth that holds true everywhere.

"Feng'er, what exactly happened to you? Tell your father quickly."

At this moment, Yuan Qingyun was truly a bit unsettled. Yuan Feng had brought him so many surprises today. The breakthrough in cultivation was one thing, but now he had even shown him such a miraculous movement technique. To be honest, after so many years of cultivation, he had almost never seen such a graceful and agile movement technique. If it were just about speed, he, at the eighth level of the Condensation Essence Realm, might not be much faster than Yuan Feng.

"Father, nothing special happened to me. I just fell off a cliff that day and realized many things, which led to my breakthrough. As for this movement technique, Father should know that there is an incomplete skill called the Dragon Glide Step in our family's martial arts library, right?"

Yuan Feng had already thought of what to say. No matter what, a sudden breakthrough should have a reason, and attributing everything to that fall was completely plausible.

"Dragon Glide Step?"

Without dwelling on other matters, when he heard the Dragon Glide Step, Yuan Qingyun was immediately captivated. "Feng'er, are you saying that the movement technique you just displayed is the Dragon Glide Step?"

"Yes, it is the Dragon Glide Step." Yuan Feng nodded. "That day, when my Essence Energy broke through, I went to the martial arts library to select a skill. I originally only chose the Vajra Fist, but the incomplete Dragon Glide Step caught my interest. Later, I practiced according to the incomplete incantations and accidentally refined the first level of the Dragon Glide Step. I guess this was destined to be."

He couldn't tell anyone about the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit. Refining the first level of the Dragon Glide Step, he could only attribute it to fate. As for whether others believed it or not, he couldn't care less.

"Is this really true?"

After hearing Yuan Feng's explanation, Yuan Qingyun clearly didn't believe it much. Could an incomplete skill be refined by accident? He really didn't know. After so many years of cultivation, he had never heard of anyone refining an incomplete skill.

However, apart from the explanation Yuan Feng gave, he couldn't think of any other possibilities. Now, thinking about it, the movement technique Yuan Feng just displayed was indeed very similar to the incomplete Dragon Glide Step. It must be the Dragon Glide Step. That incomplete Dragon Glide Step was something he had obtained by chance during his travels. Unfortunately, the step was too incomplete, and despite his research, he gained nothing from it.

"Could it be that heaven is compensating my son for the hardships he has endured over the years in this way?" After much thought, Yuan Qingyun could only temporarily believe Yuan Feng's words.

"Heaven has finally shown mercy; my son is about to turn things around!"

Putting aside other thoughts, Yuan Qingyun's gaze suddenly became intense. "Regardless of his strength, with such a movement technique, my son has the ability to protect himself. It seems that he can also participate in the autumn hunt in a few days to hone his skills."

His eyes became somewhat distant, and at this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. In the past, because Yuan Feng had been unable to break through for a long time, he hadn't had many expectations. But now, with just this astonishing movement technique, Yuan Feng had the capital to compete for the position of future family head. Perhaps, he really should invest more effort in his son.

"Feng'er, tell me about your recent cultivation. From now on, if you have any questions, just ask me."

Today was different from the past, and Yuan Qingyun's attitude had undergone a 180-degree change. Yuan Feng found this quite normal.

In the following time, Yuan Qingyun put aside all his affairs, and for the first time in many years, father and son sat together to discuss cultivation. Although Yuan Feng had the assistance of the Heaven Devouring Martial Spirit, he had been cultivating for a short time, and he still needed to learn many experiential things from Yuan Qingyun. And since Yuan Feng was willing to learn, Yuan Qingyun was more than happy to teach.

It wasn't until dusk that Yuan Qingyun reluctantly left. As for Yuan Feng's breakthrough, he followed the latter's advice and didn't publicize it widely. After all, the rumors outside were already rampant, so let those people guess for themselves.

After Yuan Qingyun left, Yuan Feng couldn't help but smile to himself.

"Hehe, just breaking through to the third level of the Condensation Essence Realm made my cheap father so happy. It seems I was right not to tell him the truth."

"But to be honest, the Dragon Glide Step is indeed miraculous. I only refined the first level, and my speed is already astonishing. It seems this Dragon Glide Step is probably not an ordinary Yellow-grade skill!" Narrowing his eyes, he knew that a typical Yellow-grade skill shouldn't have such power. Perhaps, the Dragon Glide Step was indeed a high-level skill beyond the Yellow grade!

"Who cares what level it is, as long as it's useful, it's good." Chuckling, he glanced at the sky outside. "When it gets dark, I'll try to break through to the fifth level of the Condensation Essence Realm. If I reach the fifth level, with my mastery of the Vajra Fist, the Wind-Assisting Sword Technique, and the Dragon Glide Step, I should be able to protect myself in a small place like Fengtian County."

He knew very well that although he now had three martial skills, his Essence Energy foundation was still a bit low. The Essence Energy at the fourth level of the Condensation Essence Realm wouldn't support many punches or sword strikes.

Techniques and skills were certainly important, but the Essence Energy foundation was even more crucial. After all, brute force can overcome ten techniques. No matter how profound the fist or sword techniques he comprehended, without Essence Energy support, he couldn't unleash their full power. Therefore, these days, he had been focusing on breaking through his Essence Energy and hadn't continued to practice the next moves of the Vajra Fist and the Wind-Assisting Sword Technique.

"Hehe, I've been in this world for some time, but I haven't experienced its customs and culture yet. Since I have some time, I might as well go for a walk."

Looking at the sky outside, he suddenly wanted to go out. Cultivation was important, but if he kept himself cooped up in the house, he might become foolish before achieving any great skills.

With that thought, he didn't hesitate, changed into simple clothes, and headed out.

The night had not yet fallen, and Fengtian County was still bustling. Yuan Feng left the Yuan family residence and headed straight for the market district.

The market district was the most bustling center of Fengtian County, with taverns and teahouses lined up. The entire market district was jointly controlled by the three major families of Fengtian County, with each family controlling a region and operating their own businesses. The former Yuan Feng, who was idle, was a regular visitor to the market district and was very familiar with it.

The region controlled by the Yuan family was on the west side of the market district. However, this time, Yuan Feng didn't choose the region controlled by the Yuan family. Instead, he naturally headed for the region controlled by the Yun family.

Although the former Yuan Feng was no longer around, the fusion of the two Yuan Fengs retained some of the former's habits. Back then, the third young master of the Yuan family often frequented the Yun family's market district, and the reason was simple: there were more opportunities to see the second young miss of the Yun family, Yun Mengchen.

"Chenxi Tower, hehe, such a familiar yet strange place!"

Stopping his steps, he looked up to see a three-story luxurious tavern. Chenxi Tower was the largest tavern in the market district controlled by the Yun family. It was said that the old patriarch of the Yun family built it to celebrate the tenth birthday of the second young miss, Yun Mengchen, but it unexpectedly became more and more popular and, within a few years, became the recognized top tavern in Fengtian County.

"Second young miss Yun Mengchen, I wonder if I can have the honor of seeing her this time!" His gaze suddenly became somewhat absent-minded, and a beautiful figure naturally appeared in his mind. Thinking of that stunning figure, even he was still somewhat enchanted.

Shaking his head and smiling, he didn't think more and stepped directly into the tavern.

"Ah, Third Young Master, it really is you! Third Young Master hasn't been here for over half a month, I've missed you so much!"

As soon as he entered, a familiar voice came, and before the voice faded, a plump figure was already in front of him. Seeing the plump figure, Yuan Feng's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, it's been a few days, but Manager Qian looks even more prosperous."

He naturally recognized the plump figure. The manager of Chenxi Tower, who represented the Yun family in running the tavern, was a businessman. Although he wasn't a direct member of the Yun family, his status in the Yun family was not low, for reasons unknown to outsiders.

"Ha, Third Young Master, you're so kind. I'm just a servant with a bit of extra fat."

The plump manager smiled warmly, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After dealing with Yuan Feng for so many years, he naturally sensed the unusualness of today's Yuan Feng.

"Third Young Master, please come upstairs. Your favorite private room is available!"

"Thank you." Yuan Feng lightly bowed and headed upstairs.

"Tsk tsk, what a Third Young Master of the Yuan family. A person changes in three days, and it seems the previous rumors were not baseless!"

After Yuan Feng went upstairs, the plump manager couldn't help but squint his eyes. Although they had only exchanged a few words, he could clearly sense the change in Yuan Feng's aura. Moreover, the former Yuan Feng's steps were light and casual, no different from an ordinary person, but now, every move and gesture of Yuan Feng exuded a sense of stability. In short, today's Yuan Feng was like a completely different person compared to half a month ago.

"Could this kid have been pretending all along? If that's the case, he must have been very cunning!" Ten days were clearly not enough to turn a waste into a genius, so the only explanation was that the former Yuan Feng had been hiding his true abilities. Of course, it was also possible that the fall off the cliff had given Yuan Feng some kind of encounter, but he was more inclined to believe the former.

"Hehe, we'll see what's really going on."

Chuckling, he raised his hand, and a waiter hurried over. He whispered a few words to the waiter, who nodded and ran off, while he leisurely returned to his counter as if nothing had happened.
