CH 31

Within the cave.

Qin Feng wasn’t done strengthening himself, and he called for the system to use the raffle ticket.

Huala!

The gigantic prize wheel materialised yet again, spinning marvellously.

“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for winning the Indomitable Sword Heart!”

Indomitable Sword Heart: The final state of mind pursued by every swordsman, capable of eradicating all desires from one’s heart and allowing one to enter a god-like trance the moment they unsheathed their sword. Damage from sword techniques will increase tenfold.

As if touched by an unseen breeze, the clothes on Qin Feng’s body started fluttering, his aura changing instantly into an awe-striking strength that resembled the Saussureas that sat atop mountain peaks, proudly withstanding the howling winds.

“What's going on!?”

Zi Yuan hurriedly rubbed her eyes. She felt that any movement she made might disrupt Qin Feng’s state.

“Sword Intent, Sword Heart!”

Qin Feng realised that he truly had a profound affinity with the sword, as the two consecutive rewards were buffs specifically enhancing sword technique damage.

And combined with the recently acquired 100% compatibility rate card, he couldn’t dare to even imagine how powerful the Indomitable Sword Heart had become.

“I wish I could find someone to test out my sword!”

Qin Feng suppressed the bubbling excitement in his heart. He took out a bamboo strip from his spatial storage.

This treasure was none other than the one he had obtained from Lin San’s jade box. Although there wasn’t a single word inscribed on the strip, it still emanated a calming aura.

“This is the Saint’s Bamboo Strip?”

Zi Yuan took the bamboo strip from Qin Feng’s hand. Her expression was solemn as she checked it over and over again.

'She was right!'

'This was the Saint’s Bamboo Strip!'

It was rumoured to have been passed down from a saint from ancient times and that there was a total of three strips on this land. Those that were fated could experience an epiphany from these bamboo strips, while those that weren’t fated would not see a single letter on the strip.

“This thing is the Saint’s Bamboo Strip?”

Qin Feng had heard about this from the tenth ancestor before, and he knew the indescribable value it held.

It would cause a bloody storm to ravage this land every time it emerged in this world. Those that were able to learn something from this treasure were all undoubtedly peerless experts that were famed throughout the world.

Yet, even after staring at it for a long time, he couldn’t understand a single thing.

“This isn’t logical!”

Qin Feng couldn’t understand this.

His Savviness Halo hadn’t expired yet, and with his genius little brain with the hundredfold increase in his intelligence, how was it possible that he couldn’t learn anything from this thing?!

Zi Yuan responded, “You need both fate and intelligence to understand the Saint’s Bamboo Strip, much like how Buddha himself was predestined to embark on the path of Buddhism.”

“Trash!”

Qin Feng stared at the Saint’s Bamboo Strip with disdainful eyes. Anything that he wasn’t able to use was nothing more than trash in his eyes.

“Yaya……”

As if it could sense something, Whitey toddled over with its stubby little legs and plopped down on the Saint’s Bamboo Strip, revealing a contented expression.

“Using the Saint’s Bamboo Strip as a cooling mat, the little guy sure knows how to be creative!”

Qin Feng didn’t have any intention of stopping it, allowing Whitey to enjoy the bamboo strip as a cooling mat.

Zi Yuan was completely speechless as she watched from the side. The bamboo strip that people had risked their lives for was actually being used as a cooling mat for a rabbit.

Ding! Ding!

Sounds of combat could be heard from outside the cave, and they could faintly hear someone calling out Lin San’s name.

“What a coincidence!!”

Qin Feng was instantly reinvigorated. He had missed Lin San dearly.

Ever since he had parted ways with Lin San, he had been longing for him. His whole mind was filled with Lin San’s figure.

“Let’s go, let’s go out and see!”

Qin Feng placed Whitey and the Saint’s Bamboo Strip into a bamboo basket and carried it onto his back. He then took Zi Yuan’s hand and led out of the cave to check out what was going on.

Very quickly—

The two arrived at the place.

Lin San was currently surrounded by a group of Phenomenal realm experts, trying to force him into giving up the jade box he had obtained in the remnant.

“I’ve told you all countless times, the jade box was empty!”

After experiencing more than a dozen battles, Lin San was covered in wounds, barely hanging on with the help of the almighty protagonist halo, continuing to fight relentlessly.

“Do you honestly think we would believe in lies like that?” The opponent snorted as their attacks became fiercer.

“This Young Master Lin is lying through his teeth!”

Zi Yuan shook her head as she watched. It was ridiculous to see these people risking their lives over a treasure.

Qin Feng spoke sternly, “I feel like Lin San was telling the truth. The jade box is indeed empty.”

“You actually believe such a stupid lie?!”

Zi Yuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking that Qin Feng was far too naive.

Ping!!

Suddenly, the situation took a turn.

Two figures suddenly darted in from the side, entering the battle. One of them threw a powerful punch, while the other delivered a swift kick, sending Lin San flying into the distance, crashing into five trees before finally stopping.

“The Ximen family brothers, Da Lang and Er Lang!”

The surrounding Phenomenal cultivators, who had painstakingly sought after Lin San, were unwilling to give up, and just as they were on the brink of succeeding, two unexpected warriors just jumped out midway.

And both warriors stood at the Third layer of the Spiritual Martial realm, leaving the Phenomenal cultivators helpless, forced to watch their hard-earned “duck meat” that was about to enter their mouths fly away.

“Fuck!!”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but curse as Lin San had landed next to him.

“It’s Qin Feng!!”

The eyes of the Ximen family’s brothers shone. They were going to be rich.

They worked together to send Lin San flying and unintentionally uncovered the hiding Qin Feng at the side.

“Err, if I said that I don’t know him and that I’m just passing by, would you all believe it?” Qin Feng asked meekly.

“What do you think!?”

As if they had seen a drop-dead gorgeous woman, the two brother’s eyes shone brightly as they charged forward, effectively surrounding the both of them.

“Brother Lin, let’s work together!” Qin Feng spoke sincerely.

“I’m afraid of getting scammed!”

Lin San wiped the blood from his mouth as he stood. He still believed that the conniving bastard that was scheming against him was Qin Feng all along.

Qin Feng felt extremely wronged, shouting, “You’ve wronged me! Brother Lin, I have always treated you as a true brother from a different father and mother. What would I gain from betraying you!”

“I……”

Somehow, Lin San felt as though his words weren’t wrong. It wasn’t as if someone would reward Qin Feng for bullying him.

Whoosh!!

The two Ximen brothers kicked forward, instantly appearing before the two of them.

They had both heard about the track records of these two prodigies, and so, they had no intention of being careless, immediately using their strongest attack the moment they arrived.

“Fuck, that’s rude!!”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but curse as he leaped, his agile figure resembling that of a swan.

“If you want to fight, then let’s fight!”

A hint of madness appeared in the depths of Lin San’s eyes as a blinding light shone from the longsword in his hands.

In an instant—

A ferocious sword Qi washed over the entire forest, causing the fallen leaves and dust on the ground to swirl in the air. Ten mountain-crushing beams of sword Qi hurtled toward Er Lang, the samurai.

“This was the attack from that night!?”

Qin Feng’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. He could feel how devastating this attack was.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

The ferocious sword Qi engulfed the area, causing even the air around them to tear as it destroyed everything in its path with an unimaginable momentum.

“Not good!”

The Ximen family Er Lang’s expression changed dramatically as terrifying energy surrounded him.

Rumble!!

The two clashed with each other, the sword Qi blasting through the area.

“Pu!!”

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from Er Lang’s lips. He was instantly incapacitated.

“This is the successor of the Sky Sword God, the best swordsman in the next century?!”

The surrounding Phenomenal realm experts hurriedly shielded themselves from the ravaging winds caused by the sword Qi, their faces filled with horror at Lin San’s strength.

“Hah……”

Lin San glanced at Qin Feng complacently as he huffed, as if he was trying to express that his defeat to him at the Qin family’s residence was only because he was tactful enough to spare him from embarrassment.

As such—

In response to Lin San’s provocation, Qin Feng cheekily hid behind Lin San, provoking the Ximen family’s Da Lang at the top of his lungs, “Come, you little idiot! Fight with my Brother San if you dare! My Brother San told me that he could fight ten of you at once……”
