After saying that, Luo Fei directly picked up a piece of tender roasted meat beside him and placed it into his mouth.

The fragrance of the meat assailed his nostrils, refreshing his mind.

“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Speed +1”

“Ding! Speed +1”

“…”

As Luo Fei swallowed it in one gulp, the sound of system notifications rang out in his ears.

“Not bad! Looks like that Lin family prodigy is really willing to part with his money!” While Luo Fei was delighted, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Brother, I feel like my entire body is filled with strength!” Luo Xue also raised her head at this moment and said with some disbelief.

“Of course! Your body has been weak since you were young. Now that you’ve eaten so much ferocious beast meat, it will naturally improve your physique and make you feel full of strength! Eat more!” Luo Fei smiled lightly and patted Luo Xue’s head.

He guessed that this should be the first time that eating would have such a huge effect on an ordinary person. If one kept eating this meal, wouldn’t they be able to become an advanced-level martial artist very quickly? If that happened, martial artists wouldn’t be so rare anymore.

‘For martial artists, this meal could also replenish stamina! As for me, I gained a huge improvement. This table alone should be able to give me about 200 points of strength!

‘That was 200 kg of strength.

‘At the same time, my speed would also increase by quite a bit.

‘It seems that in the future, I would have another way to quickly increase my strength.

‘There was no lack of ferocious beasts in this world. If I were to eat an unlimited amount of them, how big of an improvement would it be!

‘However, even thinking about it was impossible. After all, there are many benefits to the meat of ferocious beasts. The price had always been high. Even if I were to join a large faction in the future, it would be impossible to provide an unlimited amount of ferocious beast meat. I would still have to rely on myself.

‘It seems like I would have to kill more beasts in the future!’

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Luo Fei started to eat without hesitation.

In his eyes, all these foods were akin to materials that would sharpen his capabilities! Hence, the food on the table rapidly decreased. Compared to Luo Xue, Luo Fei ate even quicker and digested it very quickly too.

“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Strength +1”

“Ding! Speed +1”

Numerous notifications rang out in Luo Fei’s mind.

…

An hour later, Luo Fei brought his sister out of the private room. Lin Dong had been waiting outside for a long time.

“Thank you for Young Master Lin’s generous feast!” Luo Fei nodded his head in satisfaction and thanked him.

“No problem! It’s just a meal!”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Dong was extremely happy in his heart. The heartache and gloominess from before were all swept away, as he directly waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

“Oh right, Brother Luo, do you have any plans for the future? I have already arranged a place for you to stay tonight! It will be in this hotel itself!” Lin Dong politely handed over the room card in his hand.

Luo Fei was stunned before he smiled and took it, “Sorry to trouble you! You don’t need to address me so formally in the future! I am only a few years older than you!”

When he heard these words, Lin Dong was evidently stunned. Immediately, he got ecstatic and repeatedly said, “Alright, Brother Luo!”

“Next, I wish to visit the Ultimate Dojo. Let’s talk after I join them!” Luo Fei looked at the time, it was already past ten o’clock.

Although it was a little late, when he thought of the Yang family that had been bothering him, Luo Fei decided to join the Ultimate Dojo as soon as possible. After all, he could use the strength of the Dojo to protect Luo Xue and cause the Yang family to be wary of him. 

He guessed that the other party had already found out about him! News of what had happened in the Thunder Dojo must have spread long ago. It was likely that the Yang family was currently searching for him and Luo Xue on the streets.

Even though he already reached the strength of an intermediate-level martial artist, he did not forget that Lin Dong previously told him about the existence of a martial master within the Yang family. Therefore, to be safe, the earlier he joined the Dojo, the safer he would be.

After all, in this dangerous world, the more careful he was, the longer he would live. When it came to his family name, he had always been steadfast. He would not forget himself just because he had become a martial artist and made a name for himself as a prodigy.

However, when it was time for him to shine, he would not hesitate at all. For example, he was more than willing to kill Yang Jie earlier with one punch and take his sister on the road of escape. He did not regret it at all! Even when he was at the Thunder Dojo, facing the oppression of the manager, he willingly rose up and resisted.

After he joined the Ultimate Dojo, he would increase his strength and then seek to settle the Yang family matter. After all, he had killed the son of the Yang family. This kind of hatred could not be resolved easily. One must eliminate the root of the problem. Luo Fei was deeply aware of this principle.

It was likely that the Yang family was thinking the same way. When they found out about his shocking talent, the Yang family had already made their move. They wanted to kill Luo Fei before he joined a large faction.

Lin Dong nodded after hearing this. He was not the least bit surprised by Luo Fei’s thoughts. However, he thought of something and laughed, “Brother Luo, there is no need to go through so much trouble!”

“Huh?” Luo Fei looked at Lin Dong in confusion.

“Brother Luo, to be honest, there are already quite a number of well-informed people who have already found out about you being here. Therefore, they have been waiting downstairs for a long time.”

“Among them, there are base officials, various factions, various large clans, even the Thunder Dojo have sent their people over. Brother Luo, the Ultimate Dojo that you wish to join has also sent a martial master over.” Lin Dong looked at Luo Fei with envy when informing him about this.

He had never seen a situation where various large factions gathered together to fight for a prodigy. Luo Fei was truly a prodigy. But at the same time, he was still an ordinary person and did not have any factions behind him. Once he does join a faction, he would be much safer.

Unlike Lin Dong, even though he would eventually join a Dojo of his choice, he had the Lin family behind him. No matter how high his cultivation level was in the future, he would still leave the Dojo and return to the Lin family. Therefore, a prodigy with boundless potential who would not leave was naturally welcomed by everyone. When he thought of this, Lin Dong was hesitant to speak.

When Luo Fei saw this, he raised his eyebrows, “Young Master Lin, is there something that you wish to say?”

When he heard that so many factions had specially sent people to look for him, Luo Fei got a little surprised and excited. However, when he saw Lin Dong’s expression, he was puzzled.

“Brother Luo, there is no problem if you wish to join the Ultimate Dojo. However, there would be many families that want you to join them as well. They will definitely give you a more generous reward than any other Dojos. However, I suggest that you do not agree.” Lin Dong spoke with a serious expression.

When he saw Luo Fei looking at him with a puzzled expression, Lin Dong told him honestly.

“Brother Luo, I am not afraid to tell you that those large clans, including my Lin family, are extremely welcoming towards prodigies that appear among the commoners. The rewards they offer are usually much more generous than the Dojos. In fact, they will even betroth the women in their clans to you. For a prodigy like you, the conditions they offer are definitely even more attractive.

“However, there is one thing that is extremely important. Although the rewards they offer might be extremely attractive, they also have many restrictions. It can be said that in the future, you will have much less freedom and you can never betray them. Otherwise, what awaits you will be an endless hunt.

“I think that a prodigy like Brother Luo will not be threatened or restricted by anyone! Hence, the Ultimate Dojo would be the best choice. Although their rewards are not as great as those offered by the various large families, they would not restrict you too much.

“However, if Brother Luo still wishes to join the family, why don’t you consider our Lin family? We will definitely be able to satisfy Brother Luo’s needs!” After speaking, Lin Dong looked at Luo Fei with a sincere expression..
