Sensing the change in Duan Liang's favorability, Lin Feng saw an opportunity. If he put in a little more effort, it wouldn't be a problem for Duan Liang to reach fifty points of favorability.
At that point, he could cast the Soul Lock on Duan Liang, and then they would truly be brothers.
Lin Feng felt a surge of delight.
"This is too difficult. This passage seems simple, but comprehending it is like reading a heavenly script. I truly wonder, how did you, kid, learn this supreme secret technique?"
"Could it be that you, kid, have even higher talent than this old Taoist?"
After comprehending for a moment, Duan Liang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Daoist Master, this secret technique isn't difficult at all. How about this, since you can't comprehend it, I'll teach you hand-in-hand."
For the sake of favorability, Lin Feng was willing to go all out.
"You're that kind-hearted?"
Duan Liang stared at Lin Feng in astonishment, thinking, was this still the same brat who always tricked him?
"Daoist Master, you are my elder brother, we are like brothers. You've helped me, so it's normal for me to help you."
"Don't think of me as inhuman. I know how to repay kindness."
As Lin Feng spoke, he began to analyze the intricacies of the Flying Pig Swiftness for Duan Liang, hand-in-hand.
Frankly, it was quite normal for Duan Liang to be unable to comprehend the secrets of the Flying Pig Swiftness, as it was a technique passed down by the Kunlun Ancestor.
If it were so easily comprehended by anyone, it wouldn't be called a supreme Kunlun martial art.
The reason Lin Feng could comprehend it so effortlessly was due to the assistance of the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, which had transformed the Flying Pig Swiftness into his unique skill.
With Lin Feng's help, Duan Liang suddenly saw the light.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful! You, kid, have been a great help to this old Taoist!"
Duan Liang patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, and his favorability towards Lin Feng rose to 30 points.
"Daoist Master, we've finished analyzing the first part. I'll now pass on the remaining secret techniques to you."
"Since I have time now, I must ensure you learn it quickly so you can have a better chance of winning against strong enemies in the future."
"You've lived a long life, and it's not easy. I can't let you have regrets in your remaining years."
Lin Feng said warmly.
Duan Liang gazed at Lin Feng, hardly believing these words could come from him.
"Good kid, hurry up then. This old Taoist is already impatient."
The more Duan Liang looked at Lin Feng, the more pleasing he found him.
He had originally planned to kill Lin Feng, that bastard, as soon as he obtained the secret techniques.
Now, seeing that Lin Feng still had some humanity, he decided to keep Lin Feng around a little longer.
Lin Feng wasted no time, promptly wrote down the remaining secret techniques for Duan Liang, and even thoughtfully translated them word-for-word.
As Duan Liang comprehended more, he became increasingly excited, and his favorability towards Lin Feng smoothly soared to fifty points.
But Lin Feng knew very well that this favorability was temporary.
Once he did something that displeased Duan Liang, or if Duan Liang simply felt annoyed one day, his favorability would drop.
It was the same with Xu Lin; their favorability was not fixed and could fluctuate at any moment.
So, to be safe, Lin Feng didn't hesitate and decisively cast the Soul Lock on Duan Liang.
Duan Liang had no idea Lin Feng possessed such a malicious means. He suddenly shivered as if he had caught a chill.
Then Duan Liang felt something was wrong with his body, as if an invisible energy had invaded him, and his protective true qi began to circulate on its own.
"Kid, what did you do to this old Taoist? Why did I suddenly shiver?"
Duan Liang looked at Lin Feng warily. His senses had always been very keen.
"Daoist Master, don't be so nervous. I just feel that our relationship is very good now, like brothers. So, to make our relationship even better, I've cast an ancestral secret technique on you."
Lin Feng didn't hide anything and said with a smile.
"What? You cast an ancestral secret technique on me? What secret technique?"
Duan Liang was completely unnerved because he could clearly feel his body was stiff, as if he had been cursed.
"It's not a terrifying spell, it's just something called Soul Lock."
"With the so-called Soul Lock, once I cast it on you, our lives will be bound together. If I die, you won't survive either."
"In other words, we are now brothers who will live and die together!"
Lin Feng stated earnestly.
Duan Liang was so enraged that he suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Brat, you dare to trick me again? Such a powerful secret technique doesn't exist in this world, and even if it did, it's not something you could master."
"I think you're tired of living. I don't want to kill you now, but you're looking for death yourself, aren't you?"
Duan Liang was furious and grabbed Lin Feng by the throat.
"Daoist Master, what are you doing?"
Xu Lin was startled. She didn't understand how the two who were just chatting and laughing suddenly turned hostile.
"Little girl, this is none of your business. It's this kid who deliberately made this old Taoist angry."
Duan Liang glared at Lin Feng, continuously tightening his grip.
"Daoist Master, if you want to kill me, then kill me. You won't survive if I die anyway. You can try if you don't believe me."
Lin Feng knew Duan Liang wouldn't believe him, so he intended to prove it.
"Try it then. Do you think this old Taoist is easily fooled?"
Duan Liang increased the force in his hands, and Lin Feng's face immediately turned red.
"Daoist Master, please stop! Stop messing around!"
Xu Lin saw that they weren't joking and became anxious.
"It's fine. Let him kill me. If he doesn't, he can't help it."
Lin Feng remained unfazed. He even reached out and clasped Duan Liang's hand that was on his throat, even helping to increase the pressure.
Immediately, a strong sense of suffocation washed over him, and Lin Feng's pupils began to dilate.
Duan Liang, on the other hand, was completely stunned by Lin Feng's bizarre actions.
He couldn't understand what Lin Feng was trying to do. Was he seeking death?
But soon, Duan Liang couldn't remain calm because he also suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation.
It was as if his lifeline had been grasped, and he could die at any moment.
Realizing that something was wrong, Duan Liang quickly released Lin Feng.
The moment they were released, both Duan Liang and Lin Feng gasped for breath.
"You damn immortal's father! You little scoundrel, did you really cast a curse on this old Taoist?"
Duan Liang stared at Lin Feng in terror, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
