Feng Xing saw that her face froze again, and smiled. He knew that now for sure... she would definitely ask for his guidance later on, this was also one of his main reasons for deciding to give it his all and concoct a high essence containing pill.
Rou Xue's face was still blank with her eyes wide open... she trembled slightly. Only after a while did she come back to reality. She immediately wanted to confirm something and said : "Ar..around... 9..90%!? Did I hear it right, ahahaha..."
"Hmm, indeed I suppose you did. It truely is around 90%" Feng Xing seemed to be indifferent when mentioning something like that, which confused Rou Xue even more than before... was 90% nothing in his eyes!? But she didn't inquire any further as she knew that Feng Xing probably wouldn't answer seriously anyways...
...
"...So...eh, is the offer still... you know?" Rou Xue shamelessly said with a smile, Feng Xing simply smiled and asked : "Hmm, what offer? You mean me teaching you?"
Rou Xue nodded with a smile. This girl truely had no shame when it came to things like this Feng Xing thought. She had refused his offer so solidly earlier, and yet here she was asking Feng Xing to teach her now? But of course Feng Xing wouldn't refuse something like this, since he planned to guide her anyways. This was a good opportunity to accept anyways.
"Hmm, alright then. Hehe... you really have no shame don't you?" Feng Xing said with a smile, but right after Rou Xue answered with a straight answer immediately after hearing that.
"Of course I have shame... I'm only a bit thick-skinned... but I do feel shameful when I made that bet with you... but this doesn't matter anymore. Since you're going to guide me anyways, I can also call you Master along the way." Rou Xue smiled cheerfully at Feng Xing.
"Heh... that's true." Feng Xing didn't seem to be to surprised at her answer. Only thick-skinned people could probably say that, he himself was quite thick-skinned usually... atleast in his previous life. He didn't dislike thick-skinned people, since he himself also had some thick-skinned disciples himself. Rou Xue reminded him of some...
He smiled calmly and said : "Shall we return and just spend the rest of the day cultivating? Maybe you will breakthrough tonight."
"Hmm, alright why not. Since I don't really have anything else to do today. I'm just going to breakthrough for sure this time since I have this pill! You probably will also breakthrough... with your pill..." Rou Xue deep in her heart felt a bit bad, she was very confident about her pill concocting skills before this and she was pretty sure she was better than Feng Xing in this aspect... but unfortunately she didn't expect that Feng Xing was... this good.
BOOM!
Terrifying sound came out of nowhere while everyone in the Sect got supressed by a tyranic Energy... and aura that covered the whole Sect! Feng Xing and Rou Xue were immediately supressed and went on their knees! The aura was like one from the heavens! Supressing all living beings!
"What the hell!?" Rou Xue was the one who was surprised the most, what was this feeling!? Even Feng Xing couldn't hold his calm, but he realized something. This aura felt rather familiar... was it...
Seconds after the aura disappeared and everyone received a message from the Sect Master. In the message was stated that they were testing something new, hoping to get everyone calm again. But of course Feng Xing didn't believe that crap, he already realized something... but he wasn't to sure about that. Of course Rou Xue calmed down after receiving the message. She believed it fully and was surprised at how powerful the Sect was... Feng Xing played along with her and didn't mention it anymore. They continued to walk back.
While talking about various different kinds of stuff like pill concocting they went back to their room. After reaching their destination and saying goodbye to each other they both immediately went into their rooms to cultivate or do other things. Feng Xing decided to breakthrough to the 8th Rank of the Tempering Path today since he was actually quite close.
After concocting the new pill he decided to use the pill given to him by the Elders from the Moonfire Sect, so he could easily breakthrough and make some progress towards the 9th rank. The process would take probably one hour for him, he wouldn't let anything of the pill go to waste after all.
While cultivating he slowly wondered where Dio and Luo Ai went... but he couldn't really think of anything possible... After an hour Feng Xing finally broke through! It wasn't long anymore before he would reach the Martial Path realm! After reaching that realm he would possibly make a trip to the Blue Water Kingdom, but he didn't know for sure yet.
"Hmm? Someone is approaching my door..." Feng Xing immediately detected someone. This person was probably an Outer Sect Disciple, since he wasn't at the Martial Path realm yet. But he wasn't to far off it either... Normally only Martial Path cultivators would be Inner Sect Disciples and not Tempering Path cultivators. Someone like Xiao Ling usually would already be in the Inner Sect... yet the Sect didn't put her there. Was it because she was inexperienced? Or did they really not notice her talent? Or... did everyone start as an Outer Sect Disciple...
If this was the case everything was understandable, Feng Xing deeply thought about such matters in the past few days.
Knock! Knock!
A person knocked on the door. Feng Xing immediately stood up, walked towards it, and opened it. He was greeted with a punch immediately, which he caught with his reflexes. The power behind that punch was actually of the 8th Tempering Path.

Boom!
The person who threw the punch seemed to be surprised... It was Mong Gu, a Disciple who previously wanted to take care of Feng Xing with his lackeys, but unfortunately couldn't and had to step in himself.
"Fellow Brother, what's the meaning of this?" Feng Xing smiled without any emotion.
Mong Gu's face slightly changed and he pulled his hand back, then he said : "Heh... you actually could block a punch with 40% of my strength? Not to shabby... but unfortunately... this was only a warning. So if you know what's good for yourself... then you should know what to do..."
Mong Gu revealed a cold smile, of course Feng Xing knew what Mong Gu meant. But he paid it no heed at all, why did he every need to fear someone like Mong Gu. Currently Mong Gu was simply just a joke to him.
"And what if I don't?" Feng Xing then revealed a meaningful smile that gave Mong Gu a slight chill in his back. Mong Gu himself suddenly started sweating, but he didn't know why. Feng Xing's hidden air slowly but surely came out.
"What the..." Mong Gu seemed to be surprised and he didn't want to believe that he actually felt slight fear! He didn't want to believe it! He actually feared Feng Xing for a split second!? Even if it was a just a moment... it was humiliating! His face became colder and colder.
"Alright then... I'll let you in on a little secret of mine... Do you know why I'm usually the leader? It's because I have connections... that's why if I mention just a word... you will be kicked out of the Sect and killed..." Mong Gu started to threaten Feng Xing. Feng Xing still seemed indifferent even after hearing that.
"The only reason why I haven't removed you out of this Sect yet is because I received some info... about you being very close with Xiao Ling... that's why you first have to end your relationship with her completely... only then can u safely leave this Sect alive." Mong Gu smiled coldly. His status in the Sect was actually not very high, but it was still easy for him to remove a Outer Sect Disciple like Feng Xing easily. Especially if he asked his older brother who had an even higher status in the Sect to request it.
The Mong family's patriarch once saved the current Sect Master, that's why the Mong family's Disciples are usually treated very nicely. For example Mong Gu's brother who was immediately set into the Inner Sect because of his status in the family, while Mong Gu's status was lower than his brother and he was only put in the Outer Sect.
Feng Xing still seemed indifferent, which irritated Mong Gu a lot. Mong Gu expected Feng Xing to atleast sweat a little or be scared, but this wasn't the reaction he was looking for... Suddenly Feng Xing laughed out loud.
"Pfft... ahahahaha!" Mong Gu threatening him? Who did he think he was? The lord who rules over Feng Xing's life? No, of course not!
Mong Gu seemed to be shocked and surprised at the same time, he never experienced something like this before. Had Feng Xing gone crazy or something? Why the hell was he laughing.
"What's so funny!?" Mong Gu yelled at Feng Xing.
Feng Xing finally managed to stop laughing. He then smiled meaningful and moved towards Mong Gu with slow steps, of course Mong Gu wouldn't just stand there and do nothing. He instantly moved in to strike Feng Xing down. His rule was : The one who strikes first, strikes twice!+
Mong Gu was confident in his cultivation base and immediately used his full power to strike at Feng Xing! He threw a simple punch containing his Energy at Feng Xing, it wasn't even fully concentrated, showing his lack of Energy Control.
Feng Xing unexpectedly didn't decide to dodge, but also punched with full force against Mong Gu's fist, but his punch was fully of concentrated Energy! He wanted to compete with Mong Gu! Mong Gu slightly became delighted, was Feng Xing a fool? Didn't he know that Mong Gu was at a higher rank!?
"Hehe... a mere loser like you should just stay down!" Mong Gu yelled out before the fist collided with Feng Xing's fist! Energy also collided, making the impact even more terrifying.
Boom!
Energy exploded outwards! Feng Xing's door and part of his walls got wrecked immediately from the impact of the collision. Mong Gu's smiling face slowly changed... as he looked over towards his arm... it was no longer there...
"AAARGH!!!!!" Mong Gu yelled out in pain, as his arm was basically destroyed completely as blood flowed out. This was a severe blow to every cultivator, losing an arm basically meant losing half of one's true power. Only high rank Holy Path realm cultivators could do something about it... but the realms below that? No chance! Healing that basically was impossible now... the Mong family probably won't even spend a huge amount of wealth to heal it. Mong Gu wasn't that oustanding after all.
Mong Gu almost fainted, but he managed to gain a hold over himself. He stared hatefully at Feng Xing, but he secretly also had fear in his eyes. How was this possible!? Many thoughts were suddenly appearing in his head. But the only thing on his mind was truely revenge and hatred towards Feng Xing.
"You're... dead meat!" Mong Gu immediately ran away after saying that, he knew that he had to stop the bleeding or else it would be even more fatal. Cultivators still would have enough strength to atleast leave. Feng Xing only allowed it to happen and didn't give chase. He knew that he had broken the rules of not fighting openly in the Sect. Only official fights were allowed in the Sect, and obviously this one wasn't official at all... Ofcourse small fights were still allowed, but blowing one's arm off... sure wasn't one a small scale.
The one who was hurt was Mong Gu...... who had connections to the Sect Master. This didn't look good for Feng Xing, but Feng Xing only sighed slightly. But he had an idea of his own which he didn't know yet if would work or not.
"Sigh... I hope I am right... although I'm 70% sure... it still doesn't guarantee anything. Better not disappoint me..." Feng Xing was taking a risk, he trusted his own instincts and the aura he felt! But he currently couldn't do anything about the matter with Mong Gu, so he went back into his broken down room and cultivated to pass time. He seemed to be surprised since Rou Xue didn't hear anything... It was like nobody even saw their fight... Mong Gu probably did something to prevent people to come here while this was happening.
And Rou Xue was probably in deep cultivation... this explained why she didn't hear anything... since the sound of the fight was pretty loud.
Slowly time passed by...
1 day later.
Rou Xue came out of her room and immediately saw that Feng Xing's room was broken down. She realized something happened and had a confused face, but she still seemed to be happy. She walked into the room and saw Feng Xing simply staring at her, and she smiled. Her aura currently was vastly different... her current strength couldn't be compared... to yesterday.
Especially with her cultivation manual and bloodline. Feng Xing seemed to be satisfied, her bloodline truely was good. He had met some others in his previous life with the same bloodline and they were fierce and powerful.
"So... are you going to tell me what happened?" Rou Xue asked curiously. It was pretty weird for a door and half of a room to be completely wrecked and worn down. This wasn't a sigh that was usually seen... so she wondered what Feng Xing did now. Especially with Feng Xing's weird personality which she didn't understand.
"Hmm... that's not important... but I'm currently waiting for something.." Feng Xing said.
Rou Xue looked weirdly at him... waiting for what? But as soon as she wanted to say something. An Elder came, looking for Feng Xing. Feng Xing simply smiled.
"This room... you're Feng Xing right?" The Elder asked.
