Li Feng looked over to see a team of about a dozen warriors standing on the street, radiating powerful auras.
One of the warriors was speaking, "Our Wind Chasing Hunter Squad is powerful, and our leader has reached the middle stages of martial mastery, capable of slaying a third-grade beast. We are honestly recruiting team members. The requirement is to have strength at least in the late-stage of being a warrior. If you have talent in attributes, we consider even early-stage warriors. The compensation… "
Li Feng didn't care about what he said, but observed what was in front of them.
A huge beast corpse was laid on the ground.
It looked a bit like a pangolin, but with a much larger size, about five meters long. The fangs in its mouth were extremely sharp, shimmering with a cold light.
Even in death, it still carried a heavy pressure.
Standing in front of it, you could not help but feel suffocated.
Li Feng noticed that someone was carefully touching the body of the Ground Dragon Beast, so he squeezed over, and while no one was paying attention, he secretly placed his hand on the body, pretending to be curious.
【Target: Middle-level Third-grade Beast, Ground Dragon Beast!】
【Able to Harvest!】
【Would you like to Harvest?】
The information appeared before his eyes.
Without any hesitation, Li Feng thought internally: “Harvest!”
【Successful Harvest!】
【Obtained Middle-level Cultivation Constitution!】
【Would you like to Infuse?】
Just what I needed!
Seeing the prompting message, Li Feng instantly expressed the joy in his eyes.
He didn't infuse it immediately, but turned his hand to hide the attribute, then quietly retreated.
Although he could continue to harvest,
Li Feng was afraid that if he harvested the essence blood of this Ground Dragon Beast, it would cause the Wind Chasing Squad to notice something unusual. Therefore, he promptly stopped.
Anyway, he had got the most needed thing already and there was no need to take the risk for more.
These maneuvers were extremely rapid and the total time taken was not more than three seconds.
Also, Li Feng did it very sneakily, so no one noticed his abnormality.
After leaving the crowd,
he could still hear the member of the Wind Chasing Squad recruiting members.
But at this point, Li Feng had already started his journey home.
Back at home, he locked himself in his room.
Extracting the harvested attribute, Li Feng's face showed a trace of irrepressible joy.
"Middle-level cultivation constitution!"
It was a white spherical bead of the size of a glass ball, containing very profound rules.
After admiring it for a while, he murmured inwardly, “Infuse!”
As his words came out,
Booom!
A mysterious energy rushed into his body, raging throughout his bones and muscles.
Under this force, Li Feng could feel the bones in his body being broken and reassembled again and again.
The intense pain surged again.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this, so he clenched his teeth and endured in silence.
About ten seconds later.
The pain subsided.
Li Feng was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.
Having had the experience from last time, he now understood that this was the result of successful fusion.
"Let's see what effect the recently acquired mid-level cultivation talent has!"
Li Feng rested for a while, then stood up and performed the twenty-one styles of body-refining technique.
After a quarter of an hour.
He had performed a complete set of body refining techniques.
The next moment, a powerful warm current surged into his body from every part of the world, then slowly flowed through his limbs and bones, refining his body.
This warm current was at least ten times stronger than when he had been practicing with his thunder attribute talent.
"Terrifying!"
"Indeed, the mid-level cultivation constitution is powerful!"
"Just one practice session equals more than ten previous ones of mine!"
"If this continues, even without the aid of beast blood essence, I would be able to become a warrior within six months!"
"And with the support of the savage beast blood essence, I can even advance to warrior rank in three months!"
Feeling this rate of cultivation, Li Feng couldn't help but smile.
......
......in the training room.
Li Feng was pouring sweat.
His fists continuously landed on the machine, causing the strength testing machine to shake violently, flashing one number after another.
3289!
3321!
3275!
3306!
Bang!
Li Feng's final punch, channeling his thunder power, resonated loudly with the machine.
The number jumped again and then finally locked.
6643!
"The mid-level cultivation constitution is indeed incredible!"
"In just a short month, my strength has increased by more than 1100 jin, advancing my physical strength to the middle stages of a warrior. And when harnessing the thunder power, I can even match a late-stage warrior!"
"If backed up with the beast's blood, the progress could be even faster!"
"Even Chen Xiwei, who is recognized as a genius, couldn't achieve such a pace!"
"That is to say…"
Standing in place, Li Feng slowly calmed his breath. Meanwhile, looking at the numbers on the machine, his eyes shone brightly: "Now, I can rightly declare myself as a genius of the Lu Yang Base!"
The mid-level cultivation constitution!
Elementary thunder attribute talent!
If such news were to leak, many large forces in the Lu Yang Base would offer their olive branches to him!
In the academy, he would be promoted to the elite class and cultivated as a genius.
But...
"I can’t do that!"
Li Feng shook his head.
"I have not detected any talent before and am recognized as an ordinary person!"
"If I reveal my talents and constitution now, it might lead to unwelcome trials or even speculations!"
Having survived in the apocalypse for several years in a past life, he deeply understood that human nature cannot stand any trials.
Even if revealing his talents and constitution would mean that he would never lack cultivation resources again,
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
He can't take that risk!
"I can only rely on my harvesting technique to continually enhance my strength!"
"Only when I reach the realm of master or even grandmaster, can I face any trial without fear!"
"And when that time comes, I will truly be in control of my destiny, with many more choices open to me!"
With that in mind,
Li Feng suppressed his excited feelings.
After wiping off his sweat, he strode out of the training room, took out some meat that had been cooked earlier from the fridge, and started eating.
About five kilos of it were consumed like a gust of wind.
Cultivation consumes a huge amount of body energy, so one needs to eat a lot to replenish it.
And his current level of being an initiate doesn't require that much even now.
Li Feng heard that those warriors or even martial masters consume dozens of kilos of meat in one meal!
It's only when one reaches the realm of Grandmaster that they are able to directly absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and no longer need to rely on food to replenish their nutrients.
After eating,
he took a bath and changed his clothes, preparing to go out.
It's been two months since he last visited the academy.
After the great change, students no longer learn general knowledge after graduating from high school but advance to martial arts academies to learn martial arts.
At first, some scientists had suggested laying the foundations from a young age.
But it was later verified that primal energy is very mysterious.
It's only when one reaches fifteen, when the framework of the body has already been formed, that talents and constitution can be detected, and body refining techniques can be practiced.
Otherwise,
forcing it would only damage the foundation due to the immature age.
In severe cases, it could even result in qi and blood reversal and cause loss of life!
So the decision is made that martial arts courses are taught only after high school graduation.
And because cultivation is a very personal thing, the academy's administration is quite relaxed.
Normally, students practice at home. They only visit the academy when they encounter doubts in martial arts or when the academy organizes hunts.
This time Li Feng is going to the academy because his class is organizing a hunting trial today!
All are required to attend!
Chen Xiwei went out to buy meat, so Li Feng didn't mind, just left a note and locked the door, heading towards the school.
Half an hour later,
Li Feng had reached the front gate of Lu Yang's First Academy.
The Lu Yang base has several martial arts academies and dojos that teach martial arts to students.
Among them,
the First Academy is considered the strongest, with the most profound faculty.
Li Feng was excellent in his cultural courses during high school, so he was admitted to the First Academy.
However, it turned out he had no cultivation constitution or talent.
Actually, every year there are many people like him who after enrolling in martial arts academies.
If they do not detect any cultivation constitution and talent, they are usually sent to the Fifth Academy that is ranked last.
But because of Chen Xiwei's genius status and protection, after several considerations within the academy, Li Feng was allowed to stay.
However,
He became the laughing stock of the entire First Academy.
Each time he went to the academy, many would ridicule him, thinking he was a freeloader who had no right to stay in the First Academy.
And this was one of the reasons why the original owner hated Chen Xiwei so much.
In the original owner's perspective,
Chen Xiwei's behavior was not for his sake, but purely to make fun of him.
Thinking as such,
Li Feng dismissed his thoughts.
He shook his head, dissipating these thoughts.
Walking into the academy, he found his classroom.
Just as he stepped inside, he saw everyone gathered around a youth clad in elegant and proud attire, speaking to him with clear flattery.
"The genius Zhou Qi of our class deserves his reputation, advancing to the pinnacle of the middle stage of the warrior apprenticeship in such a short time, and possessing a strength of 6000 jin!"
"An increase of 600 jin in two months is terrifying!"
"It's said that the rewards for the class hunting trial this time are generous, not only having three bottles of first-grade beast blood but also a high-grade mortal martial art manual!"
"Unless something unexpected happens, Zhou Qi should be the winner of this competition!"
"Once he gets these rewards, he will easily advance to the late-stage of warrior apprenticeship!"
"Perhaps after returning, he could be listed in the elite class by the academy!"
"Envy!"
Everyone chimed in, their words full of envy.
The Elite Class!
That was the genius class of the First Academy, with only twenty-three students at the moment.
Each of them was a prodigy among the younger generation of the Lu Yang Base!
If one could enter the elite class, the future would be limitless!
Seeing their classmate Zhou Qi had a high chance to enter the elite class, who could not envy him? Who could resist flattering him?
At that moment,
Zhou Qi, who was being praised by everyone, wore an arrogant expression listening to the compliments.
However, at that time,
He noticed the newly arrived Li Feng, and his eyes lit up, "Li Feng, you freeloader, you actually dare to come?"
On hearing this,
Everyone in the class instinctively turned around, their gaze falling on Li Feng.
"Li Feng is here as well?"
"This failure with no cultivation constitution, what is he here for?"
"Well, this is going to be interesting! As far as I know, Zhou Qi has been infatuated with Chen Xiwei for a while and has been launching numerous advances, vowing to win her over. As for Li Feng, Chen Xiwei's fiancé, a good-for-nothing freeloader...hehe..."
"If he also participates in the hunting trial this time, Zhou Qi definitely won't let him off easily!"
"There's going to be a good show now!"
Their words were loaded with gloating pleasure.
Sure enough,
Zhou Qi elbowed his way through the crowd and approached Li Feng.
Contempt and scorn were evident in his eyes. "I can't believe you have the audacity to participate in the hunting trial."
"But that's perfect. I can use this opportunity to tell you something very seriously."
He leaned in and spoke lowly, "You are obsessively sticking to Chen Xiwei, right?"
"With this occasion, I will let you see firsthand how Chen Xiwei moans under me."
His voice was full of arrogance.
Upon hearing this, Li Feng's eyes hardened, and a chilly light flashed, "You're asking for death!"
"What?"
"Do you want to kill me?"
He laughed as if he had heard the world's biggest joke, then turned to the students behind him and said, "Look, this is blind fury from incompetence, the sorrow of the weak!"
Once he finished speaking, he turned back.
Zhou Qi pretended to straighten Li Feng's collar, and said whimsically, "I know you wish I were dead this instant, but... I suggest you start thinking about whether or not you can survive this trial first!"
With that, Zhou Qi turned around, laughing heartily.
......
......"He's trying to kill me!"
A chill ran down Li Feng's spine.
Having struggled for survival in the apocalypse for several years in his previous life, Li Feng was no stranger to death.
In that era, the only one you could trust was yourself.
Those who couldn't be ruthless didn't survive.
And the fact that Li Feng, as an ordinary person, managed to struggle for several years before succumbing to the zombie horde, was a testament to his caution and determination.
As for Zhou Qi, first the humiliation of Chen Xiwei,
and then the clear intent to kill him.
Additionally, Zhou Qi was a disciple with great potential. If not removed sooner, he would definitely become a major threat in the future.
Although Li Feng wasn't one to create trouble,
he knew the principle of cutting the weeds and pulling up the roots when trouble was imminent.
With that thought in mind, his eyes became filled with cold murderous intent when he looked at Zhou Qi.
"If you want to kill me, then I will kill you first!"
......
After waiting for a moment, two warrior-level teachers arrived.
After counting the number of people, ensuring that everyone in the class was present, and foregoing any unnecessary comments, they simply directed everyone to get on the bus.
The vehicle was also powered by primal energy.
After the great change, all electronic devices shut down, so people replaced their daily appliances and vehicles with those powered by primal energy or primordial stones.
The bus set off, headed outside the base.
Seeing the direction the bus was heading, some students were curious and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, where are we going?"
"The wilderness outside the base!"
What!
Upon hearing this, all the students in the bus were shocked.
The wilderness outside the base was very dangerous, filled with treacherous beasts.
Only warriors could go there with some power to protect themselves.
Even so, it was full of risks.
But they were just a group of warrior apprentices, and most of them were in the early stages of their warrior apprenticeship. Going to the wilderness was almost equal to sending them to their death!
"No need to worry too much!"
Seeing that the students seemed scared, the teacher smiled and said, "This time we are going to the north of the city. There was originally a third-grade beast, the Earth Dragon, dwelling there, but it was hunted down by the Pursuit Team a few days ago."
"Then, the base summoned over ten hunter squads to clean up the area, killing all the beasts above the second-level, creating a hunting area of about twenty miles."
"Now that area only has first-level beasts and serves as the hunting ground for the academy's trial."
