“Don’t!”
Yang Yang shouted when she saw the shadow of the blade.
He knew who it was, of course. It was the student that he had been driving demonic beasts to earlier, Lin Feng.
However, he did not expect Lin Feng to have stayed. He had been hiding in the vicinity, ready to launch a critical attack at any moment.
However, Lin Feng was only at the Body-Strengthening Realm. Even if he launched a sneak attack, how effective would it be against a demonic beast at the Qi Gathering Realm?
Bang!
The saber fell and slashed the head of the unprepared red tiger demon. There was a deep wound on the red tiger demon’s head.
However, just as the red tiger demon was about to turn around and return fire, its body instantly froze.
Immediately after, several consecutive slashes were delivered. The red tiger demon’s head rolled to the side.
Lin Feng had beheaded him with a few slashes.
After killing the red tiger demon, Lin Feng panted heavily.
After all, he was only in the Body-Strengthening Realm. Even if he was strong enough, it was still impossible for him to face a level eight monster that was equivalent to a human in the Qi Gathering Realm.
This time, he was able to kill the level eight red tiger demon because the beast was injured and tired after fighting with Yang Yang for so long. He had also launched a sneak attack and secretly used the Thunder of Fire. This was why he managed to kill the level eight red tiger demon. It did not manage to fight back and fell after a few slashes.
After that, Lin Feng turned and glanced at the dumbfounded Yang Yang.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!” Yang Yang replied subconsciously.
Lin Feng nodded. After many slashes, he managed to slice off one of the tiger’s fangs.
“I’ll take one, the rest is yours!”
“Oh…”
Yang Yang replied, still in a daze.
After that, Lin Feng disappeared.
“Happy Sun, calling Happy Sun. Please reply if you copy!”
The captain’s anxious voice came from Yang Yang’s walkie-talkie.
Happy sun was Yang Yang’s codename.
Before Yang Yang could reply, a figure quickly rushed out of the raging fire and came to his side.
It was the captain of this small team.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he took in Yang Yang’s miserable state. He was still alive.
Then, the captain glared at Yang Yang and quickly went forward to treat his injuries. After that, he helped him up.
“Why did you draw out a level eight monster?”
“Luckily, you managed to kill it. Otherwise, I, as your captain, would be too ashamed to go back and see your family!”
When he heard this, Yang Yang ignored his injuries and shook his head.
“I didn’t kill him. It was that student just now!”
“Huh? How is that possible?”
The captain was stunned.
Yang Yang quickly recounted the battle.
Then, the captain left Yang Yang behind and ran to examine the red tiger demon’s corpse.
While Yang Yang was still talking, the captain stood up again.
“You’re right. This student has potential. If he can break through to the Qi Gathering Realm… No, even if he doesn’t break through to the Qi Gathering Realm, he’s still considered a good prospect!”
Meanwhile, Lin Feng rushed back to the city before the sky turned dark.
In Zhongzhou City, there was a curfew after nightfall. After all, in this world, besides the demonic beasts in the wild, there were also other strange monsters that lurked at night.
Strange monsters were even more dangerous beings than demonic beasts.
Naturally, after returning to the city, Lin Feng immediately made a trip to the trading company and exchanged all his gains today for contribution points.
He was not in a hurry to buy treasures for qi condensation. He wanted to gather a total of 500 points and then buy one drop for each of the five elements.
Since he had a five-element spirit root, he wanted to be able to successfully condense the five-element spiritual qi, even if it was low-grade.
Just as he returned to his residential area, Lin Feng spotted someone familiar. It was the terrifying teacher, Su Qingqing.
“Hello, Mentor Su!”
Just as Lin Feng opened his mouth, Su Qingqing quickly replied.
“Call me senior in the future. I’m not that old!”
As the sound of her voice faded, Su Qingqing rolled her eyes. She then took out a small jade bottle and stuffed it into Lin Feng’s hands.
“Quickly break through to the Qi Gathering Realm. Look for me at school after you break through!”
Su Qingqing had been waiting for Lin Feng. However, after stuffing the bottle into his hands, she disappeared like a gust of wind.
Lin Feng was stunned for a second. Then, he opened the small jade bottle.
Immediately after, Lin Feng’s eyes widened.
“Gosh!”
Inside the jade bottle was a drop of spiritual liquid. it was a metal-attributed spiritual liquid, and he could sense that it was extremely pure. It was far from the spiritual liquid condensed by the Core Formation Realm cultivator that he had seen in the trading company.
Lin Feng quickly closed the bottle and hid it on his person. Only then did he run back home.
Wasn’t this spiritual liquid the reason he had worked so hard today?
Moreover, he was almost killed by a level eight monster.
Yet, although he did not pay for it, a drop of spiritual liquid had made its way to him.
At this moment, he could not care less about why Su Qingqing gave him such a treasure.
He quickly returned home and prepared to break through in seclusion. He no longer cared about whether his five element spiritual root was complete. He first condensed his gold attribute spiritual power. He could still condense spiritual power for the other attributes later.
The sky gradually darkened, and night fell. The ordinary people began to enforce the curfew, and the night patrollers began to patrol the night.
While Lin Feng was preparing to break through, the team leader who was guarding the entrance of the Great Black Mountain had already reported the news of Lin Feng killing a Qi Gathering Realm expert to his superior through internal channels.
Of course, they did not know much about Lin Feng. When Lin Feng entered the compound, he only registered his purpose of entry and the name of his school. He had not needed to provide information outside of that.
Meanwhile, the news of Lin Feng exchanging his spoils for contribution points in the trading company had also spread.
Soon, the news made its way to the group chat of the school students.
Lin Feng’s public confession to the school belle, Qin Yiren, had not been forgotten, so news about him naturally attracted attention.
Moreover, this piece of information was very interesting.
This was because Lin Feng had exchanged his spoils for 120 contribution points in one go.
Among his spoils were a level nine monster worth a hundred points, and a level eight red tiger demon’s sharp teeth that were worth fifty points as a pair. Since he only brought back one, he only got twenty points.
However, when the news reached the group chat, everyone reacted strongly.
“What? One hundred and twenty contribution points?”
“Lin Feng? Him alone?”
“Even the top geniuses like Qin Yiren, Zhao Delong, and Dong Qingfang only had a few dozen contribution points, and they had to kill demonic beasts under the supervision of their seniors! Lin Feng, is merely at the Body-Strengthening Realm and has a trashy D-grade five elemental spiritual root. How did he kill so many demonic beasts?”
“There’s definitely something fishy about this! It’s impossible for him to have such strength!”
“I heard that the spoils he brought back contained the sharp teeth of a level eight red tiger demon. That’s the most impossible detail!”
“A level eight is equivalent to the Qi Gathering Realm. How could he have killed it?”
The discussion in the group chat grew more and more intense. There were all sorts of things being said, but the majority of the messages were filled with suspicion and disbelief. There were even people who felt that Lin Feng had cheated.
One had to know that the Great Zhou dynasty’s contribution point system had been established many years ago and had already addressed many loopholes. One of them included the strong helping the weak to farm contribution points.
There were even people who prompted Lin Feng to defend himself.
Right now, though, Lin Feng did not have time to care about this. He was still immersed in his cultivation.
On the other hand, Zhao Delong, the second-ranked genius of the school, had appeared in the group chat. Zhao Delong analyzed the source of Lin Feng’s contribution points.
“According to Lin Feng’s situation, there’s only one possibility. This guy’s confession did not work, so in order to attract the attention of campus belle Qin Yiren, he hired someone to help him severely injure the demonic beast. Then, he just took advantage of it!”
“He came back to exchange his spoils for contribution points and only brought back one fang of the level eight red tiger demon. This is proof. It’s very likely that the person who helped him took the other one!”
Zhao Delong’s words immediately ignited the discussion again, and the group’s condemnation became more and more intense.
Soon, Zhao Delong spoke again.
“There’s no need to be angry. The student council is already on it. We’ll give Lin Feng one night to consider. If he doesn’t turn himself in to the school, we’ll take away all the contribution points he has earned and force him to reflect on himself!”
“Why don’t I bring up this matter to the school on behalf of the student council tomorrow morning?”
“As the president of the student council, I would like to remind Lin Feng not to make any mistakes. If we find out that he has cheated, he will receive far worse than a punishment from the school!”
