Chapter 18

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The events following Lin Feng’s killing of the red tiger demon had not been concluded yet. However, Lin Feng had once again disappeared from the public eye.

He locked himself at home and once again began his closed-door cultivation.

First, he conjured the system reward, the Cleansing Aquatic Lightning.

The familiar scene played out again.

However, this time, perhaps because his body was already strong enough, he did not faint again.

He clearly sensed that after the Cleansing Aquatic Lightning came into being, his entire body was being transformed by this weird aquatic lightning energy.

His body, which had already been perfectly strengthened five times, became stronger still, even though he had already broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm.

There seemed to be thunder rumbling throughout his body. His muscles were constantly being strengthened, and his bones were rumbling.

Not long after, a layer of dirt seeped out of his body.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning, but it was also as if he had been baptized by lightning. His entire body was glowing.

Not long after, Lin Feng sensed that this mysterious energy had finally coalesced into a brand on his kidney.

The Cleansing Aquatic Lightning was equally effective.

This time, although its effects were not as prominent as the Thunder of Fire on his heart, it still allowed him to complete three perfect body-strengthening exercises.

Eight golden rays emerged from his body, but they quickly disappeared.

After eight perfect body-strengthening sessions, his strength had skyrocketed again.

His physical strength had already far exceeded the explosive power he had displayed during the previous test.

This was the terrifying effect of perfect body strengthening.

According to Lin Feng’s estimations, his physical strength should have reached around 200000 kilograms after eight perfect body-strengthening exercises.

This was a terrifying number.

If he only relied on his strength, he could easily kill a being in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Of course, the Qi Gathering Realm was not solely based on strength, because the Qi Gathering Realm included condensed spiritual power. In the middle and late stages of the Qi Gathering Realm, one could even start to cast spells.

For example, if the red tiger demon wanted to kill its opponent, it had to either dodge the opponent’s spells with its movement technique or forcefully withstand the bombardment of spell attacks.

Only at close range could he display his terrifying strength.

Even though Lin Feng had already succeeded in qi condensation, his spiritual energy was simply too thin. It was not enough for him to cast any spells, even the most basic ones.

In fact, he had never even learned any spiritual spells.

Hence, what Lin Feng had to do next was to continue condensing his spiritual energy. He also had to successfully condense the remaining four attributes.

Lin Feng swallowed the spiritual liquid he had just obtained and continued cultivating.

Whether it was the spiritual liquid that Zheng Hongyuan had asked his son to deliver or the spiritual liquid that Su Qingqing had given him, he could not care less now. He could easily get better spiritual liquid, so why not?

Meanwhile, many of the students were also immersed in cultivation.

Lin Feng killing a level eight red tiger demon was a source of inspiration to everyone.

Lin Feng, a student with a D-grade five-elemental spiritual root, had already broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm.

There were many students in the third year who were stronger than him, but he was still in the Body-Strengthening Realm.

Everyone was just like Zhao Delong. They were all thinking of ways to train and become stronger. The group chat was quiet, and no one was discussing anything.

Only a few people were exceptions.

For example, Dong Qingfang, the class monitor of Class 4, had personally witnessed Lin Feng killing that red tiger demon today. She was also extremely shocked.

However, she still had things to arrange. Tomorrow was Class Four’s gathering, and she had to invite the seniors.

But when Dong Qingfang was making these arrangements, the image of Lin Feng emerging from the cage with his saber would flash through her mind.

She was even more determined to invite Lin Feng to join the gathering tomorrow.

Qin Yiren had already broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm. It was unrealistic for her to break through again in such a short period of time.

Therefore, her recent mission was to follow the night patrolman team, and she could only participate in the daytime operations. She could not join the night patrol.

Qin Yiren and the night patrol team had followed the clues of several wanted criminals to an old bungalow in the Fifth Southern District.

“These b*stards must have sneaked into the district!”

The team members quickly made a judgment. They followed the trail all the way here, but finally lost track of their targets near this old community.

It was obvious that the targets had already sneaked into the neighborhood.

“In order to avoid hurting the innocent, set up a perimeter around this area!”

Soon, the team members spread out and surrounded the old neighborhood.

Qin Yiren was also part of this operation. She was hiding outside the old neighborhood.

She looked around the neighborhood and frowned.

“Isn’t this where Lin Feng lives?”

She had not been following Lin Feng, but he had confessed his feelings to her twice. She knew a thing or two about him now.

Lin Feng’s family was not well-off. After his parents died in battle, Lin Feng became an orphan.

She knew that the only thing his parents left behind was this house in this old community.

At this moment, when she thought of Lin Feng, she could not help but recall his battle with the red tiger demon.

Even now, she still could not understand how Lin Feng’s strength could skyrocket so much and so quickly.

Even she was not confident that she could kill a level eight red tiger demon. Even though she already started learning spells and had a top-tier S-grade innate spiritual root, she was not confident enough. Moreover, she had already broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm…

But Lin Feng had only used three slashes!

Very quickly, the sky darkened.

Seeing that night was falling, the leader of the night patrol team had no choice but to let Qin Yiren leave first.

Once night fell, the situation would become even more delicate.

However, upon hearing the squad leader’s words, Qin Yiren, who had been standing guard outside the old residential area for the entire day, spoke worriedly.

“Captain, we’re just going to let them go? The wanted criminals are still in the community!”

“We have no choice. Let’s retreat first. They must have discovered us!”

The captain continued.

“Don’t worry, they won’t be able to escape!”

“Young lady, you can head back. We’ll patrol this area. Once there’s any movement, we’ll immediately come over!”

Qin Yiren could only nod in agreement.

Just as the night patrolmen left, three sneaky figures emerged.

“They left?”

“They’re probably keeping their distance. I’m afraid that these b*stards are simply patrolling the area outside the community!”

“Then, what do we do?”

“Don’t worry, the night is our only chance to escape!”

“Have you noticed the old house in the northeast corner?”

“Yes. There’s a student living there. He seems to be from the top school in the district. People came to deliver items to him earlier!”

“Hehe, I know what it is. It’s spiritual liquid, and it should be high-quality spiritual liquid!”

“What are you planning? Do you want to die? We were already targeted by the night patrolmen because we stole a single drop of spiritual liquid!”

“Toughen up. Now that we’ve been targeted, we should make the most of it!”

“That’s right. If we capture this student, we might be able to hold him hostage!”

The three figures muttered to each other for a while and soon reached an agreement. They quietly headed toward the old house in the northeast corner.
