Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Cooperative Mission
Seeing that Lin Feng and Yang Min did not ask too many questions and were let through directly—after all, both were young and clearly disciples from a noble family—they didn’t dare to protest. As for the others, they weren’t treated quite as well.
The Zhang family, being a prominent clan locally, was well known. Upon reaching the mansion of the opposing party, they immediately announced their identities and soon, a middle-aged man hurried over, "Both of you are high disciples from Divine Wind Camp, correct? I am Zhang Aicai, the Family Head of the Zhang family."
Yang Min directly showed her Vermilion Bird Seal, and Zhang Aicai immediately became even more respectful.
"Please come in quickly, I have already prepared food and drink. Honestly, just before you, two others had arrived and they have already started their dinner."
Upon hearing this, Yang Min looked at Lin Feng, thoughtfully saying, "Who could have arrived even quicker than me?"
Upon entering the meeting hall, just as Lin Feng and Yang Min walked in, they bumped into two people who were on their way out.
"Oh my, isn’t this Yang Min? Didn’t expect you to be so fast?"
Yang Min turned to look and her expression immediately darkened: "Is it you, Liu Feng?"
Speaking softly to Lin Feng, she said, "This guy is a recommended disciple, basically someone who got in through the back door, exceptionally narcissistic. Of everyone in the Vermilion Bird Tent, he’s the one I despise the most, but unfortunately, he has remarkable talent, Eighth Grade Star."
Lin Feng upon hearing this, looked at the young man in white a few times; he was good-looking and his aura wasn’t weak. Although he got in through connections, he definitely wasn’t a complete waste.
As for recommended disciples, they are essentially the royal descendants. Yu Wen Tuo could have joined the Divine Wind Camp directly without any trial, but he preferred to show off and insisted on taking the regular examinations like everyone else.
Standing in front of them was a young man in white robes, with another individual by his side who looked a few years older and considerably taller, but their facial features were quite similar—likely brothers.
"Feng bro, who is this?" he asked.
"That’s Yang Min, my rival, the one I told you about before," Liu Feng replied.
"Oh? A rival? But it looks like he’s already set to lose," the man said with a light smile, his tone full of confidence.
"Really shameless. I thought Liu Feng was just an annoying narcissist, turns out it’s a family trait," Yang Min scoffed.
Liu Feng, unfazed, turned his attention to Lin Feng. "Yang Min, what, is this your partner? You really are obedient, huh? The instructor said not to team up with anyone beyond a Great Martial Master, and here you found a Martial Master Seventh Layer, really fitting the criteria. Or do you think this guy is very strong?"
Being a recommended disciple, he didn’t recognize Lin Feng.
"Feng bro, there’s always someone better out there, never underestimate others," his brother warned in what sounded like a humble manner, but his tone was full of arrogance and condescension.
"That’s true, brother Liu Li is right," said Liu Feng, casting a disdainful glance at Lin Feng before leaving with his brother.
"That narcissist."
Yang Min was so angry she trembled, seeing Lin Feng’s indifferent expression, she curiously asked, "Don’t you feel angry at all?"
Lin Feng dismissed it casually: "Dogs are barking there, do I really need to bark back?"
Yang Min was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing.
"True, but tomorrow depends on you. I believe in you."
Lin Feng glanced at her and nodded, "Don’t worry, aside from you, no one else will get the reward for this mission."
...
After finishing the meal prepared by the Zhang Family, Lin Feng returned to his guest room. He didn’t sleep but had the Zhang Family’s servants bring him a bucket of hot water, along with a pile of firewood. Lin Feng sat directly in the wooden tub, planning on forgoing rest for the night to focus on breaking through the Overlord Martial Profound Body.
To confront Hua Hu, he must increase his strength to two thousand catties, and the only way to achieve this was to break through the Overlord Martial Profound Body as much as possible.
"Third Layer, the third layer doubles the strength, it’s not possible in a short time, but if I can break through to the second layer, I can also possess a strength not less than that of a Great Martial Master First Layer."
Great Martial Master First Layer, strength between two thousand to two thousand five hundred catties. Hua Hu had just broken through recently, thus his strength isn’t high, around two thousand one hundred. Of course, even if he completely stabilized his cultivation, it could at most increase to around two thousand two hundred.
"The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long, I must cultivate diligently."
Lin Feng started to crazily absorb the medicinal power from a large number of medicinal herbs.
The next day, the morning light was faint.
"Lin Feng, are you awake? It’s time to head to the conference hall."
Yang Min’s voice rang from outside, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes; he had cultivated all night and could feel a surge of strength within his body.
"Although I haven’t broken through to the first layer, I feel it won’t be long before I can step into the first layer and break through this limit."
Lin Feng forcefully threw out a punch, immediately encapsulating a formidable force within the punch wind.
Lin Feng was very satisfied. After getting out of the tub, he wiped his body, changed his clothes, and after a quick wash, he went out.
"What’s taking so long, such a big man, why are you so slow?"
Yang Min, seeing that Lin Feng finally came out, directly dragged him all the way to the family conference hall.
Upon arriving at the conference hall, they found that there were already over a dozen people inside, half of which were disciples from the Divine Wind Camp’s Vermilion Bird Tent, and the other half were naturally the teammates they had invited.
"Yang Min?"
Aside from Liu Feng whom he met yesterday, the rest were seeing Yang Min for the first time. Their expressions changed instantly; Yang Min was indeed an Eighth Grade Star, a strong presence in their Vermilion Bird Tent.
However, when they saw Lin Feng following behind, each of them revealed a peculiar expression.
"Isn’t that Lin Feng?"
"Could it be, the teammate that Yang Min invited is him?"
A group of people’s expressions turned odd. Liu Feng didn’t know Lin Feng, but they did, and they certainly knew the details about Lin Feng.
"Haha, do all of you know Yang Min as well? Well, after all, you are all from the Vermilion Bird Tent, you’ve been training for a few days, and surely know very well about this genius of Eighth Grade Star."
Liu Feng spoke in a sarcastic tone inside the conference hall.
"But speaking of which, a genius is a genius, so confident. The teammate he found is merely a Martial Master Seventh Layer, I wonder if it’s arrogance, or if he genuinely couldn’t find a more decent teammate."
Upon hearing this, many people fell silent, unable to comment on Lin Feng’s strength, as among the six disciples from the Vermilion Bird Tent present, each had been robbed by Lin Feng before. Anyway, it was certain he was stronger than them.
However, this time, to ensure absolute certainty of success, the teammates they had invited were all Martial Master Ninth Layer or even at the Peak of Ninth Layer.
