"Hiss hiss hiss!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the strange patterns that appeared on the surface of the body erupted with a blinding golden light!
"What's going on?"
Qin Feng's eyes twitched violently, feeling as if his body was about to explode, causing immense pain.
Without any hesitation, Qin Feng directly sat cross-legged and immediately began cultivating using the "Nine Yang Divine Dragon Art."
This breakthrough had benefited Qin Feng greatly, raising his cultivation to the eighth layer of Body Tempering, significantly increasing his strength.
"I wonder how Mo Wu is doing?"
Qin Feng suppressed his aura, left the room, and headed towards the Qin family's main hall.
"Young Master is back!"
The Qin family members, upon seeing Qin Feng, immediately welcomed him.
"Brother Qin Feng!"
Seeing Qin Feng, Qin Xue'er excitedly ran over.
"Sister Xue'er!"
"Young Master!"
Su Wan and Su Yurou also hurried over, their faces full of joy.
Seeing the expressions of the three women, Qin Feng couldn't help but frown, "Your complexions... why are they a little pale?"
Su Wan and Su Yurou's pretty faces stiffened slightly, their expressions a bit awkward.
"Brother Qin Feng..."
"Be quiet!" Su Wan's face turned red, and she glared fiercely at her sister.
Su Yurou stuck out her tongue and obediently lowered her head.
"Heh, it's nothing! I was just worried you were too tired. It looks like you've recovered well," Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Thanks to the Body Tempering Pills you gave us, otherwise, we wouldn't have recovered so quickly," Su Wan took a deep breath and sighed.
"That's right! Brother Qin Feng, you've given us pills again. We really don't know how to repay you."
Su Yurou's pretty face flushed, her beautiful large eyes flickering, revealing shyness and gratitude.
"Silly girls, what repayment are you talking about? We're family, so we should help each other," Qin Feng gently stroked Su Yurou's hair and smiled indulgently.
"Brother Qin Feng, I heard you're leaving tomorrow, is that right?" Su Wan asked, looking up.
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded with a smile.
"Sigh! We'll miss you so much!" Su Yurou grabbed Qin Feng's arm, her expression downcast.
Qin Feng turned his gaze to Su Wan, his eyes gentle.
"Brother Qin Feng, I've grown up. I don't want to be a child who is bullied anymore. In the future, I will definitely cultivate hard and become stronger!" Qin Xue'er said solemnly, her tone very firm.
"I understand your feelings," Qin Feng nodded, feeling very gratified.
"Qin Feng, while you're away, I'll take good care of our parents, as well as your sisters."
"You all do the same. Remember what I've told you, and don't forget it," Qin Feng cautioned.
Qin Feng had been away from Cangjing for five or six days. Although he hadn't mentioned a specific return date, he had to say goodbye to them.
"Don't worry!"
"Young Master, please rest assured. With us here, we will definitely not let any mishap occur in the Qin family!"
Everyone assured him in unison, their expressions solemn.
The safety of the Qin family was Qin Feng's greatest concern, so he naturally had to give special instructions.
After giving his instructions, Qin Feng quickly returned to his room to continue cultivating and consolidate his ninth layer of Body Tempering realm.
...
Two days later, Qin Feng left the family and headed for the Martial Arts Pavilion in the prefecture city.
The Martial Vein test was organized by the prefecture government, and a large number of martial artists flocked to it every year.
Therefore, many people had gathered around the Martial Arts Pavilion.
"Huh? Qin Feng is actually here?"
"Hmph! What kind of person is he to be qualified to come to the Martial Arts Pavilion?"
"I heard his cultivation is crippled. I wonder if that's true?"
"Who knows? Perhaps it's just a rumor?"
Qin Feng's appearance attracted the attention of many people.
They pointed and whispered, their faces filled with disdain.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Young Master's martial veins are not broken!" Su Wan's pretty face sank, and she coldly rebuked.
"That's right! Young Master's martial veins are fine. How dare you slander him?"
"If you dare to slander Young Master again, I'll rip your foul mouths!"
Su Wan and Su Yurou angrily rebuked, their expressions indignant.
"Tsk tsk~ Just a good-for-nothing!"
"His martial veins have been crippled for so long, he's beyond saving. Why is he pretending?"
"Poor guy! He deserves to be kicked out of the family!"
The onlookers burst into laughter, all of them mocking him.
"Shut up!" Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he roared, causing the entire scene to suddenly fall silent!
"Hmph! Just a cripple, what's he acting all high and mighty for?"
"A disciple of a declining family dares to be so arrogant!"
"Qin Feng, don't be too presumptuous. If you anger us, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"If you don't want to get beaten, disappear from my sight immediately!"
Several young martial artists sneered, their arrogance undisguised.
"Hmph! With mere eighth-layer Body Tempering cultivation, you dare to bluster here? You're courting death!"
Qin Feng coldly swept his gaze over those young martial artists, his eyes extremely icy.
"Hmm?" Feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from Qin Feng, those martial artists trembled inexplicably in their hearts and subconsciously retreated.
"You few, kneel down and apologize!"
Qin Feng's gaze was extremely cold, and he said menacingly.
"Scoundrel! Who do you think you are? How dare you lay hands on us?"
"I advise you to scram immediately, or you'll regret it!"
"A piece of trash from a declining family dares to attack us, courting death!"
The several martial artists were furious, appearing ready to teach Qin Feng a lesson.
However, Qin Feng sneered dismissively and stepped forward directly.
"Courting death!"
Following a cold shout, Qin Feng moved like lightning, shooting out in an instant.
*Slap, slap, slap!*
"Ah... no..."
After a brief silence, several crisp slaps rang out.
In the blink of an eye, several eighth-layer Body Tempering youths were sent flying backward, smashing through the wooden wall of the hall.
Qin Feng's attack was ruthless, displaying extraordinary combat power that shocked everyone!
"This... how is this possible?"
"Qin Feng... is actually so strong!"
Seeing this scene, Su Wan and Su Yurou's pretty faces were stunned, completely shocked.
They never imagined that Qin Feng's strength would become so terrifying!
He had defeated several eighth-layer Body Tempering experts with just one punch!
Qin Yun and Liu Piaoyan exchanged glances, also shocked and awestruck.
"Such powerful combat prowess!"
"As expected of the peerless genius of the Tian Luo Empire!"
"Our Qin family has finally produced a genius. His future achievements will surely surpass mine!"
Qin Yun's eyes were filled with tears, his heart immensely excited.
"These scoundrels!" Su Wan gritted her teeth and cursed, her eyes turning red.
Qin Xue'er clenched her small fists, wishing she could tear them into eight pieces.
"Hmph! Just a bunch of good-for-nothings, daring to be rude to Young Master, they're simply asking for a beating!"
Qin Yue sneered coldly, inwardly pleased.
"This is outrageous!"
"How did Qin Feng's strength become so strong?"
"I don't believe it!"
"Look, Qin Feng is wearing a blue robe. He must be a disciple of some sect!"
Exclamations arose from the crowd, everyone guessing Qin Feng's identity.
"Hmph! No matter what his identity is, he dared to hurt Zhao Yong and Zhuo Jian. He must pay the price!"
"Let's go! Today, we'll get justice for our brother Zhao Yong!"
The crowd's anger soared, and they all moved towards Qin Feng, preparing to attack him.
"Everyone!"
"Qin Feng has just joined the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. If there's any offense, please forgive us!"
Just then, a young man in black suddenly stepped in front of Qin Feng.
"Senior Brother Zhao Yong!"
"Zhao Yong?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately reined in their anger, their expressions turning to reverence and apprehension.
"Zhao Yong!" Qin Feng frowned and shouted sternly.
"Junior Brother Qin Feng, Zhao Yong is the number one guard under my father's command. If you've offended him, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble!"
"Zhao Yong, what do you mean?"
Qin Yang's face darkened slightly, and he questioned in a deep voice.
Zhao Yong sighed and shook his head, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. Junior Brother Qin Feng and I are just friends. He means no harm, he's just reminding you not to cause trouble."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, a cold smile in his heart.
Zhao Yong was clearly trying to protect him, yet he spoke so grandly. Truly hypocritical.
Hearing this, the crowd's expressions softened slightly, and they also felt a sense of relief.
"Zhao Yong, you say it lightly. Are we just going to let ourselves be beaten for nothing?"
"Even if Qin Feng doesn't pursue it, we can't swallow this insult!"
"You're overthinking it! Since Qin Feng made the first move, why should you be so aggressive?"
Zhao Yong frowned, appearing quite conflicted.
Qin Yang gave a cold smile, "Senior Brother Zhao Yong! We had no prior enmity with Qin Feng. We just had some private matters to discuss, and he suddenly intervened and broke the rules. I think..."
"Shut up! Qin Feng is a disciple of my Qin family. You don't need to worry about this matter."
Qin Yang chuckled dismissively, looking profoundly wise.
"You..."
"Enough!" Zhao Yong's face suddenly turned grim, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
"Qin Yang! Be magnanimous, and you'll have friends to see in the future. This time, Qin Feng is in the right. If you insist on arguing, I don't mind letting you experience my methods!"
"You..."
Qin Yang's face stiffened. He immediately abandoned the idea.
He knew very well what kind of person Zhao Yong was.
Although his cultivation was only at the fifth layer of Body Tempering, his combat power was no weaker than that of an ordinary sixth-layer martial artist. He was simply no match for him.
"Junior Brother Qin Feng, I apologize! Junior Brother Zhao has a straightforward temper. Please don't take it to heart!"
Seeing Qin Yang's embarrassment, Qin Yang quickly explained and apologized to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng sneered coldly and did not respond.
"Everyone! Today's matter was just a misunderstanding. Let's not mention it again."
Qin Yun waved his hand to smooth things over, speaking indifferently.
"Brother Qin Feng, let's go!"
"Alright."
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then led the two sisters into the main hall.
