Chapter 295 - Zhang Qiji's Troubles

“See, Sage Yuanyi, hasn’t my judgment proven true?” Sage Kang pointed at the screen and said.

On the screen was the interface of the Martial Domain Network. Sage Kang was pointing at the League of Guardians’ Body Strengthening Technique in the League of Guardians’ online shop.

Daoist Yuanyi also stared intently at the Body Strengthening Technique. He said with a solemn expression, “Looks like Lin Feng has indeed grasped some kind of ancient civilization legacy. According to his theory, improving one’s physique can break the Astral Power limit. Why has no one ever done it before?”

“That depends on how one improves their physique. If they tempered it bit by bit, it would be impossible to break the Astral Power limit. The main point is that his Body Strengthening Technique should be able to improve one’s physique substantially, which is why it can break the Astral Power limit. Actually, didn’t we also have this theory before? It’s just that we’ve never been able to realize it. I didn’t expect Lin Feng to realize it.”

Sage Kang appeared very gratified.

“It’s a pity that Lin Feng’s Body Strengthening Technique is only circulated within the League of Guardians. If it can be spread, how many human martial artists can benefit? The overall strength of humanity can probably increase by a lot.”

Daoist Yuanyi shook his head, appearing somewhat disappointed.

However, Sage Kang laughed. “Yuanyi, you can’t expect everyone to be selfless. Among the Nine Sages, who can truly be selfless? Have you shared the kind of treasure you obtained from the ancient civilization with the other Sages?

“It’s enough that Lin Feng can offer these things! Although they can only be circulated within the League of Guardians, they can still strengthen humanity. Moreover, didn’t Lin Feng already express his goodwill? These energy weapons are enough to greatly increase the strength of humanity. This is the greatest goodwill from Lin Feng!

“As for the Body Strengthening Technique, Lin Feng has already pointed out the direction for us. Can’t we think of ways to improve the physique of some martial artists? In ten, twenty, or even fifty years, the Body Strengthening Technique might no longer be a secret.”

Sage Kang appeared very magnanimous, but he actually understood human nature. He had come step by step from the most chaotic era of humanity to his current state. He had seen only too many sinister people.

Naturally, he knew that things needed to be done gradually, one step at a time.

If everyone was “selfless”, they would probably no longer be interested in exploring ancient civilizations. No one would be willing to take risks anymore.

Human nature was inherently selfish, but sometimes, “selfishness” could actually promote the development of the entire human society.

“That’s right, Sage Kang. I’ve been a little stubborn. However, now that this Body Strengthening Technique and energy weapons are publicized, Sage Lin Feng’s League of Guardians will develop very rapidly. In fact, it will even surpass our five major factions in the future!”

Daoist Yuanyi had acute judgment. He knew that just energy weapons and Body Strengthening Techniques were enough to make most martial artists yearn for them. The development of the League of Guardians was unstoppable.

“Sage Lin Feng set the League of Guardians in the barren Outland and even personally swept through it, establishing a safe zone. Moreover, he did not poach from the five major factions, but recruited martial artists who were not recruited by the five major factions to avoid direct conflict with the five major factions. Yuanyi, that’s why I said that this is great wisdom!” Sage Kang seemed very satisfied with Lin Feng and kept praising him.

“Haha, Sage Kang, I think you’re the wise one! If you hadn’t gone against the majority and supported Lin Feng to become the tenth Sage, Lin Feng would probably keep these things to himself forever. That would be humanity’s greatest loss.”

Sage Yuanyi and Sage Kang both laughed.

…

In Delta City, Zhang Qiji was holding Bai Jing’s hand.

After more than a year of hard work, Zhang Qiji finally managed to succeed in pursuing Bai Jing. This former playboy also completely came to behave himself, and the two of them officially established their relationship.

However, the two of them had been troubled recently. Originally, the Bai family and the Zhang family were compatible in terms of social status. The Zhang family supported Zhang Qiji’s pursuit of Bai Jing, and Old Master Bai was also quite satisfied with Zhang Qiji.

Although he was rather profligate and a playboy in the past, he had turned over a new leaf. Zhang Qiji had completely restrained himself now. He had even dropped out of the Myriad Academy and started to focus on managing the Zhang family’s business.

However, something happened during this period that made the relationship between the Bai family and the Zhang family rather tense.

The Legate of Delta City was a young Legate who was only 35 years old. He was also a former student of the Myriad Academy, and was Zhang Qiji’s senior.

However, for some reason, this senior met Bai Jing. The Legate developed some feelings for Bai Jing. Later, when Zhang Qiji found out, the events even made a turn for the amusing.

Zhang Qiji went to look for the Legate. Fortunately, the Legate wasn’t someone petty. Once he learned that Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing were in love, he didn’t bother Bai Jing anymore.

They had thought that this matter would be over, but they did not expect the Bai family to find out.

Old Master Bai was not someone who would curry favor with the powerful, but there were many direct and collateral relatives in the entire Bai family. The Bai family was not just Old Master Bai’s family.

These people took turns to persuade Bai Jing. After all, a young Legate could almost be considered the highest local authority. He might even become a Meta-divine Realm martial artist in the future. How illustrious would that be?

In comparison, Zhang Qiji used to be a profligate son and a playboy. Although he had abstained from his past practices now, he had not even broken the genetic lock. How could the Zhang family compare to a Legate?

Bai Jing was very determined, however. She insisted on being with Zhang Qiji. In the end, those people from the Bai family actually caused a scene in the Zhang family, making everyone in the Zhang family unhappy. There were even people from the Zhang family who felt that Bai Jing wasn’t a good match and were persuading Zhang Qiji to give up.

The entire Bai and Zhang families were tense, but Old Master Bai and Zhang Qiji’s father were very firm. They insisted that the two of them determine the wedding date, and the wedding would be held in a month.

Although even the wedding date had been determined, this matter had not settled. There were undercurrents in the Zhang and Bai families. Be it Bai Jing or Zhang Qiji, neither of them would be welcomed by the two families in the future.

This was also a troublesome matter that wearied Bai Jing and Zhang Qiji greatly.

“Bai Jing, we’re getting married in a month, but there are more and more rumors now. I’ve let you down.”

Zhang Qiji loved Bai Jing very much. He couldn’t bear to let her endure those rumors, but even he himself couldn’t hold out much longer.

“Qiji, this isn’t your fault.”

Bai Jing clenched her fists tightly. Although she was very determined, these rumors did affect her and Zhang Qiji’s lives to a certain extent.

After all, the two of them were from large families. If this matter continued to escalate, it would not be beneficial to Bai Jing or Zhang Qiji in the future.

“Bai Jing, I’m going to invite someone to the wedding in a month. If that person can come, perhaps all our troubles will be resolved.”

“Qiji, who would you like to invite?”

Bai Jing’s eyes lit up. Who had such power? In her opinion, no one could put this matter to rest.

“Who else? A bro who’s on a roll and already at the top of the world just a year or two! Actually, you should also know that Lin Feng… should be addressed as Sage now!”

Zhang Qiji sighed. There was some excitement in his tone, but also a trace of lamentation.
