48: Xiao Hao's growing strength

“This…”

Wang Feng had already seen their cultivation levels. The highest, Condensation Spirit Realm Fourth Layer, belonged to Yu Que, who had a villainous face.

“I need this…”

Wang Feng rubbed his hands together with a fawning look, his meaning abundantly clear.

“Fellow Daoist, here are fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones, plus this storage space. Their combined value is about a hundred Spirit Stones. Is that acceptable?”

Chen Baixiao’s mouth twitched as he watched Wang Feng’s fawning expression. He took out a storage space from his waist.

“Mm.”

Wang Feng took the thrown storage space and scanned it. They were indeed Spirit Stones.

Not too many, not too few. He didn’t know how he had prepared them in advance.

Wang Feng took out a few Spirit Stones and scattered them around Xiao Hao.

“Heaven and Earth without Kun, Refine…”

Wang Feng chanted a few incantations, and instantly, a red barrier slowly rose around Xiao Hao.

Just in case, Wang Feng set up another layer of barrier to be safe. What if the other side attacked?

The three people in the distance looked surprised. Setting up a formation casually meant he was definitely a Grandmaster of Formations, and his cultivation was undoubtedly higher than theirs.

“Thank you, Senior!”

The few of them changed their address, sat down, and watched Xiao Hao, who was surrounded by sword qi, break through.

They hoped to find a glimmer of opportunity for their own breakthroughs.

Oh, wow, all three of them have Sword Physiques. Are Sword Physiques not valuable anymore?

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Feng’s eyes. He hadn’t expected all three of them to have Sword Physiques. He just didn’t know what quality they were.

What Wang Feng didn’t know was that among the three, the two males were direct Disciples of the Sect Master, and one was the granddaughter of the Grand Elder.

They were also the strongest sword masters of the younger generation in the Dongyang Dynasty, and the only three Sword Physiques to appear simultaneously in the Dongyang Dynasty for thousands of years.

“Ah!!”

Xiao Hao roared again at this moment, and another layer of sword qi erupted from his body, even more intense than before.

However, after blowing against the barrier Wang Feng had set up, it subsided.

Moreover, the deepest sword wounds on Xiao Hao’s body healed rapidly.

His body also began to make gurgling sounds, and the outwardly released aura slowly converged and reintegrated into his whole body.

The three people not far away stared intently; they now understood.

This was actually a Sword Physique awakening and a realm breakthrough happening simultaneously.

What kind of Sword Physique was this? It gave them a feeling of extremely strong suppression right after awakening.

It was like a higher-level bloodline suppressing a lower-level bloodline.

“Master, I’ve done it! Hahaha!”

Xiao Hao leaped up, did a backflip, and couldn’t help but draw his longsword and strike at the void not far away.

Swoosh~!

With this sword strike, the entire scene fell silent.

Not because it was too strong, but because a loud fart would have made more noise than the aura of this sword strike.

They only saw a gust of sword wind blow in front of Xiao Hao, and then… there was no ‘then’.

“Little girl, come, come here.”

Wang Feng waved at the young girl with the sparkling big eyes, who had the lowest cultivation.

“What is it?”

The girl looked a bit dazed and silly. When Wang Feng called her, she seemed a little confused.

She couldn’t help but hide behind her Senior Brother Yu Que.

“Senior, we must return to the sect, so we will not bother Senior any further.”

The villain-faced Yu Que shielded the girl Lin Youyou behind him, while the male-second-lead-faced Chen Baixiao spoke gently.

“Oh, come on, I just want you to spar a bit, it’s nothing serious. Your cultivation is the lowest, but it’s still a bit higher than my Disciple’s.”

Only then did the three realize what was going on. Indeed, among the three of them, Junior Sister Lin Youyou had the lowest cultivation.

“Go on, a genius should act like a genius. What kind of genius can’t fight above his realm?”

“She’s only around Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer.”

Wang Feng kicked Xiao Hao’s butt, waking him up from his joy over his increased Strength.

“Oh, oh, oh, Master, okay, okay, okay.”

“Ah? Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer?”

Xiao Hao was startled after realizing; did his Master want him dead?

However, at this moment, Xiao Hao’s sense of inflated Strength was as arrogant and inflated as Wang Feng’s in his previous lives, so he still agreed.

“Here, wear this.”

Wang Feng took out a jade disc from his storage space and hung it around Xiao Hao’s neck, leaving Xiao Hao confused.

“Go on, you!”

Wang Feng pushed the still confused Xiao Hao forward, while he himself jumped onto a nearby large tree.

“Little girl, don’t hold back. As long as it’s not his head, feel free to chop him!”

“Don’t worry about attacking, I’m watching.”

Wang Feng on the big tree called out to the somewhat timid Lin Youyou, who was hiding behind Yu Que below.

“Junior Sister, since Senior requests it, you can also try out your recent improvements.”

The male-second-lead-faced Chen Baixiao gently said to his Junior Sister, who was hiding behind the villain-faced Yu Que.

Wang Feng couldn’t help but wonder if these three were in a love triangle?

“Mm…”

Lin Youyou drew the jade sword she held in her left hand. Wang Feng recognized it at a glance; it was actually a top-grade Profound Weapon sword.

“Be careful, young lady!”

Xiao Hao was about to rush over with a fierce look.

But he nearly slammed on the brakes because of Lin Youyou’s words, almost twisting his ankle.

“You… you haven’t put on your clothes yet!”

Lin Youyou’s face was a little flushed. Xiao Hao’s physique had become slightly stronger after entering the Gathering Realm.

Especially after taking that Lower Grade Bone Tempering Pill, his physique was even more noticeable.

“Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.”

Xiao Hao was also a bit embarrassed by what she said. He quickly took out clothes from the storage space his Master gave him and put them on.

“Come on, I am… uh… Master’s Disciple, Xiao Hao!”

Xiao Hao cupped his fist at Lin Youyou, and his opening words stunned all four of them.

“Do you not have a sect to mention?”

“Mm!”

Xiao Hao replied righteously. His Master seemed to be a rogue cultivator, or perhaps he refused to tell him his sect?

“Enough talk, hurry up.”

After speaking, Xiao Hao raised his sword and charged at Lin Youyou. He could no longer resist the urge to display his current Strength.

Lin Youyou also raised her sword, leaped over, and clashed with Xiao Hao.

Xiao Hao could barely block, and he was even sent flying by the Strength of that blow.

“I’m not fighting anymore! I’m not fighting anymore!”

After just one round, Xiao Hao said he wouldn’t fight anymore, which made Wang Feng’s face darken. Giving up after just one round?

“Little girl, beat him to death, don’t hold back!”

Wang Feng cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted.

While Xiao Hao’s Sword Physique had just awakened, he needed to be squeezed for more potential, to let that energy be released.

Lin Youyou on the other side hesitated a bit.

It wasn’t until Wang Feng shouted a few more times that she disregarded everything and charged forward with her sword.

“Master, you’re trying to harm your Disciple!”

Xiao Hao, helpless, could only fight while running, cursing Wang Feng fiercely, though he dared not use any vulgar language.

“Hit him! Hack him to within an inch of his life!”

“Oh, and don’t break his sword. We’ll need it later.”

Listening to Wang Feng’s words, Lin Youyou attacked even more swiftly and fiercely, and she deliberately avoided his sword.

Her Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer cultivation burst forth a bit, and a sword qi struck Xiao Hao, sending him tumbling.

A shallow, large bloodstain immediately appeared on Xiao Hao’s chest.

Lin Youyou felt embarrassed upon seeing this; it seemed she had used too much Strength.

“I’m angry!”
