Chapter 19

Zhang Fenglang brought a group of people with a fierce momentum, but they returned in disappointment, which was something that no one had expected before.

Defeating Wu Dao Fifth Heaven's strength with Wu Dao Fourth Heaven's strength, Lin Fei's victory was like a bomb, stunning everyone for a short time, and it would soon spread among the outer disciples, causing shock. Even more shocking was that Lin Fei's junior brother had cultivated the Ninefold Mystic Qi.

The power of the *Ninefold Heart Sutra* also exceeded everyone's imagination. A worthless heart sutra could actually have such a miraculous transformation, making many people feel excited, almost to the point of rushing over.

Unfortunately, a worthless heart sutra is still a worthless heart sutra.

None of the outer disciples dared to cultivate it. In the Xuantian Continent, failing to become a Xuan practitioner meant one was destined to never become a powerful figure, and would only live a life in a small place.

As a result, the determination of the outer disciples was extinguished.

Even if one could not become a Xuan practitioner, what good was it to be the strongest among the outer disciples? The gap between a Xuan practitioner and a non-Xuan practitioner was clearly visible.

……

Lin Fei cultivated the worthless heart sutra.

Among them, the one who was least worried was Gao Ren.

The *Ninefold Heart Sutra* is a worthless heart sutra of the Divine Martial Sect, a fact known to all. Unless someone was not paying attention, they would not mistake this worthless heart sutra for a genuine mystic art.

"Xiao Lin, why are you doing this?"

Gao Ren had a worried look on his face, not knowing what to say, feeling a bit helpless.

Lin Fei knew what Gao Ren was thinking and smiled understandingly, "Senior Brother Gao, you don't need to worry so much. Who says that cultivating a worthless heart sutra means one can't become a Xuan practitioner in the future? There are so many miracles in this world. Who knows when a miracle might happen to you? It's better than being bullied all the time!"

Gao Ren did not argue, because Lin Fei had a point.

Always being bullied, why not take advantage of the limited time to do something beneficial?

For example, beating them up?

"Whatever you cultivate, you will always be my junior brother." Gao Ren instantly understood, looking determined as he patted Lin Fei's shoulder, showing great camaraderie.

"Senior Brother Gao, take this low-grade yellow mystic art and cultivate it. You lack a powerful mystic art, and since I have already cultivated it successfully, a yellow mystic art will be very useful for you."

"How can I accept this? You won it yourself. If not, why would they attack you? I didn't help at all. I can't accept a gift without doing anything in return." Gao Ren was slightly stunned, feeling a bit scared.

Lin Fei was not a petty person. Gao Ren's divine strength was astonishing, and he would eventually become a Xuan practitioner. Investing a little would not be a mistake, and he believed in his own judgment.

"Senior Brother, what kind of relationship do we have? Do we need to be so formal? If not for your help, I wouldn't have this chance to stand here. Anyway, a yellow mystic art is not very useful to me. If you really feel bad about it, when you cultivate it successfully, help me sell the yellow mystic art. That should be fine, right?"

In fact, a yellow mystic art is very important for a beginner martial artist.

After some persuasion, Gao Ren was no match for Lin Fei. Even after placing the yellow mystic art *Shattered Jade Hand* in his heart, Gao Ren still felt like he was dreaming.

Gao Ren was well aware of the value of a yellow mystic art. His gaze toward Lin Fei changed, and a seed was planted in his heart, further strengthening their relationship.

……

"A yellow mystic art is not very useful to me, but in the future, it could be a good return to have a helper!"

As he said, a low-grade yellow mystic art was not something Lin Fei really cared about.

With the upgrade system, his future was destined to be smooth, and his strength would improve rapidly. In less than a month, he was about to reach Wu Dao Fifth Heaven, where mystic qi could be formed into a beam to injure from a distance.

Such an achievement made him a prodigy among the outer disciples, unmatched by anyone.

Returning to the small courtyard, Lin Fei knew that today's events would soon spread. With his strength improved and not suspected, he felt a weight lifted off his chest, and his whole body relaxed.

So far, what Lin Fei was most worried about was that his changes would be noticed by others.

In the Xuantian Continent, the weak were preyed upon by the strong. If someone discovered that he had an upgrade system, he would undoubtedly become a nightmare in their eyes, and they would try to eliminate him at the earliest opportunity.

The problem he had been worried about for a long time was easily solved, completely beyond his imagination. To be honest, the simple method was too easy, giving him a sense of a sudden breakthrough.

……

"Zhang Fenglang's strength is very strong, but unfortunately, I can attack him at close range. If he could use mystic qi to injure from a distance, it would definitely be more challenging to deal with."

Defeating Zhang Fenglang did not make Lin Fei overly proud.

On the Xuantian Continent, Wu Dao Fifth Heaven is just a dividing line among low-level martial artists. If he were to be overly proud, he would be foolish.

"Eight Directions Six Directions Fist, as a third-rate mystic art, when used with Ninefold Mystic Qi, is no less than a first-rate mystic art at its peak. Could it be that the *Ninefold Heart Sutra* can enhance the power of mystic arts?"

Lin Fei couldn't help but think about the pros and cons.

"Finding the missing fragments of the *Ninefold Heart Sutra*, could it be that this heart sutra is a special mystic art?"

The power of the Eight Directions Six Directions Fist and the Shattered Jade Hand exceeded imagination. Anyone who wasn't stupid could see the potential.

Even though Lin Fei was good at thinking, the secrets of the *Ninefold Heart Sutra* were not something he could figure out in a short time.

"Zhang Fenglang won't make a move again in the short term. With the *Ninefold Heart Sutra* matter, I should have ample time to focus on cultivation. I'll first improve my strength to Wu Dao Fifth Heaven. When I can use mystic qi to injure from a distance, what will it matter when facing a Wu Dao Fifth Heaven practitioner?"

……

That evening.

Lin Fei's residence welcomed a stranger.

The visitor was dressed in the attire of an outer disciple, wearing a green robe, looking transparent and sharp. He spoke very warmly, as if they were already familiar.

"My name is Wen Tian. I congratulate Junior Brother Lin Fei on defeating Zhang Fenglang!"

Lin Fei was slightly stunned. He didn't know this person, but he replied, "It was just luck. Next time, I might be the one to lose."

Wen Tian laughed, "Whether it was luck or not, Junior Brother Lin Fei defeating Zhang Fenglang, a Wu Dao Fifth Heaven practitioner, is truly a cause for celebration. Today, Senior Brother has a good news for you. I believe Junior Brother will be very happy. Even if Zhang Fenglang comes again, he won't dare to act rashly!"

"Senior Brother Wen, please speak!"

Wen Tian nodded, secretly admiring Lin Fei's manners, and said loudly, "On behalf of Senior Brother Chen Xiaosheng, I invite you to join our organization. From now on, no one will dare to bully you. With your talent, you are sure to become the strongest among the outer disciples."
