Chapter 3: Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique

By the Wei River, a figure sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless.

Chu Feng had been cultivating the Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique for a full hour. During this hour, the spirit veins in his body had been shattered and reformed countless times.

Each shattering and reformation brought immense pain, enough to make an ordinary person faint. Sweat had drenched his long robe.

However, Chu Feng never stopped the process. He could feel that each time the spirit veins were shattered and reformed, they became thicker, and his strength grew.

"Break!"

Chu Feng roared, and a vortex of energy surged through his body. The blocked spirit veins were instantly penetrated by the flowing energy, and countless spirit energies began to flow freely within.

In an instant, a surge of spirit energy began to circulate through Chu Feng's body, filling him with boundless strength.

The emergence of this spirit energy made Chu Feng's strength several times stronger than before.

"Finally, I have opened one spirit vein. Now I have the capital to cultivate the martial path!"

Chu Feng stood up, a look of joy on his face.

However, opening one spirit vein was just the beginning. A spirit master with only one spirit vein would have very limited achievements throughout their life.

Cultivating to the fifth or sixth level of the Bone Tempering Realm was already the limit. Higher realms like the Body Forging Realm or the Divine Sea Realm were absolutely impossible.

To reach the pinnacle of the martial path, one's talent was indispensable.

But now that Chu Feng had the Bone-Breaking Rebirth Technique, he no longer needed to worry about his talent.

"It's been a day. It's time to go back."

Chu Feng stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

He had to return to the Lin Manor. Now that Chu Jianbai had obtained this body, he had the reason to accomplish everything Chu Feng wanted to accomplish.

That was to become the master of the Lin Manor.

Linwu City.

A city built by the Wei River, named after the Lin Manor, which clearly showed the significant status of the Lin Manor in Linwu City.

After opening one spirit vein, Chu Feng felt his body become much lighter. It had taken him two hours to reach the Wei River, but this time it only took him half an hour to return to Linwu City.

His speed had increased several times.

"Hey, isn't that the great steward of the Lin Manor?"

"Isn't he always hiding in the Lin Manor? Why is he out today?"

In Linwu City, many martial artists recognized Chu Feng and discussed him with surprise. Their gazes towards Chu Feng were full of disdain and ridicule.

Chu Feng's existence was undoubtedly a great joke in Linwu City. The great steward of the outer manor of the Lin Manor was actually a half-spirit vein waste.

Many martial artists in Linwu City took pleasure in bullying Chu Feng.

After all, the Lin Manor was a high and mighty existence to them. Many of them had suffered grievances from the Lin Manor, and now they could bully the great steward of the outer manor to vent their frustrations, which naturally made them happy.

Although Chu Feng was nominally the great steward of the outer manor of the Lin Manor, in reality, no one from the outer manor had ever helped him. Instead, they all looked at him with a mocking gaze, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

This was why Chu Feng had never dared to leave the Jiang Manor before.

Just as Chu Feng was about to reach the gate of the Lin Manor, a figure stepped out from the crowd, blocking his path.

"Look, it's Cao Dahai."

"This guy was taught a lesson by a few disciples of the outer manor of the Lin Manor a few days ago. It looks like the great steward Chu is going to suffer today."

When they said "great steward Chu," there was a clear tone of ridicule in their voices.

"Move aside."

Chu Feng looked up and saw the muscular man blocking his path, and he calmly said.

If it were the old Chu Feng, he would have never dared to speak up and would have taken the bullying and found another way around.

But this time, Chu Feng was no longer the old Chu Feng. His body now housed the soul of Chu Jianbai, the first person to master sword intent.

This time, he would not back down.

"Oh?"

Chu Feng's response clearly surprised Cao Dahai.

When had Chu Feng ever dared to speak so boldly?

Cao Dahai sized up Chu Feng and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"I can move aside, but you have to kneel down and kowtow a few times. If I'm satisfied, I'll let you pass."

As Cao Dahai spoke, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

In front of the Lin Manor, Cao Dahai was like a dog, bullied by the Lin Manor. But now he could bully the great steward of the outer manor, which was why people enjoyed bullying him. The feeling was indeed very satisfying.

"Great steward Chu, you should kneel down. Otherwise, you won't even be able to return to the Lin Manor. Hahaha."

A mocking voice rang out from the crowd, followed by numerous laughs.

Watching the great steward Chu being bullied was a form of entertainment for these martial artists in Linwu City.

"Get lost!"

Chu Feng's eyes flashed with anger, and he moved forward directly.

"What, you want to fight?"

Seeing Chu Feng's actions, Cao Dahai laughed loudly.

"Fine, since you refuse to kneel, I'll beat you until you do!"

With that, Cao Dahai punched towards Chu Feng's chest.

Cao Dahai was a second-level Bone Tempering Realm martial artist. Dealing with a half-spirit vein waste was more than enough, which was why he dared to bully Chu Feng.

This punch contained a bit of spirit energy, though not at full strength, it was enough to put Chu Feng in bed for half a month. It was extremely malicious.

"Looking for a beating."

Chu Feng's lips curled into a cold smile as he spoke.

Facing the punch, Chu Feng's body suddenly dodged, moving so fast that Cao Dahai didn't even react. Then, Chu Feng slapped Cao Dahai's face.

"Slap."

A crisp sound echoed, stunning all the martial artists present.

The scene they had imagined, where Chu Feng was easily beaten by Cao Dahai, did not happen. Instead, Chu Feng slapped Cao Dahai's face.

This slap, though not containing much spirit energy, was enough to make Cao Dahai's face swell for a few days.

"How dare you hit back?"

Cao Dahai was both ashamed and angry.

Chu Feng was a well-known waste in Linwu City. As a second-level Bone Tempering Realm martial artist, being slapped by Chu Feng was a disgrace he couldn't afford to spread in Linwu City.

"Crushing Fist!"

A surge of spirit energy gathered on Cao Dahai's fist, and he struck towards Chu Feng.

Martial techniques were powers that only martial artists with spirit energy could use. The power of a martial technique was far greater than ten punches from an ordinary martial artist. Cao Dahai, driven by anger, wanted to make Chu Feng pay today.

However, this time, Chu Feng was prepared. He moved again, dodging Cao Dahai's punch, and then kicked Cao Dahai's knee.

A crisp sound echoed again.

Cao Dahai's knee was shattered, and he fell to the ground on his knees.

"Is this... Could it be that Chu Feng has opened his spirit vein?"

This scene was something no martial artist present could have imagined. Chu Feng, who had always been known as a waste, had actually defeated Cao Dahai today.

Even some disciples of the Lin Manor rubbed their eyes, wondering when Chu Feng had become so powerful.

By the time they reacted, Chu Feng had already returned to the Lin Manor.
