113: Chapter 113 The Big Shots' Shock! First, go to the shop, then find your master.
Lin Feng spread his Wind Wings and flew toward the city.
Behind him, the ruins of the Old City District grew smaller and smaller.
The collapsed buildings, the broken streets, the ground stained red with the blood of Void Beasts...
They gradually faded into a blurry background.
The wind whistled in his ears.
Sunlight spilled through the clouds and fell on him, feeling warm and cozy.
He took a deep breath, feeling his entire body relax significantly.
The battle just now had been truly perilous.
Three Level 50 Gazi Clan Warriors, each stronger than the last.
Especially the last one, Kakarot III; in his Berserk form, all his attributes tripled, his speed was too fast to see, and his strength was too great to block.
And then there was that black crystal, an explosion that dealt five million damage...
If it hadn't been for the tower soul suddenly showing its power and turning him into light, he would be a pile of ash by now.
Lin Feng looked down at his hand.
On the back of his hand, the All-Element Affinity Mark was still glowing faintly.
He calculated silently in his heart.
“The tower soul devoured the sword of radiance and unlocked a new skill, ‘Law of Heaven and Earth’.”
“Body size increases by a hundred times, all attributes multiplied by ten, lasting for one hundred seconds.”
“If I were to use this, how terrifying would it be?”
He thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
A hundred-meter-tall giant could blow up a mountain with one punch.
If that old geezer Zhou Tiannan dares to be arrogant again, I can squash him into a meat patty with a single slap.
However... the cooldown time is twenty-four hours.
And during the cooldown, the tower soul cannot provide any bonuses.
In other words, after using this skill, he would have to go 'naked' for a day.
“I must use it carefully; unless it's absolutely necessary, I can't just activate it recklessly.”
Lin Feng noted this secretly.
He looked at his attribute panel again.

“Not bad.”
He nodded, fairly satisfied with his current state.
But soon, he frowned again.
“Gazi Race... Panzi Race...”
“That voice said the Panzi Race would come looking for us.”
“What does that mean? Do they have reinforcements?”
A sense of unease rose in his heart.
Although they had won this territory war, it was only temporary.
The threat in that voice was no empty bluff.
“I need to reach Rank 50 as soon as possible and check out the Void Corridor.”
“Also, I need to ask Master about the Ten Thousand Void Races.”
He picked up speed and flew toward the city.
...
On the outskirts of the Old City District.
The big shots had all dispersed as well.
Each was heavy-hearted, harboring their own ulterior motives.
Zhou Tiannan led the people of the Zhou Family and was the first to leave.
He flew very fast, his face so gloomy it looked like it was about to rain.
Behind him, several Zhou Family Elders didn't dare to speak.
Everyone knew he was in a very bad mood.
Bad enough that he wanted to kill someone.
Zhou Tiannan only stopped once they reached the sky above the Zhou Family Manor.
He hovered in mid-air, looking down at the three-hundred-acre manor below.
He remained silent for a long time.
Then, he spoke.
“This Lin Feng cannot be allowed to stay.”
His voice was very soft, but every word was like a poison-tipped blade.
Behind him, Grand Elder Zhou Tianbei frowned.
“Big brother, this kid is at the peak of his fame right now. He's an S-Rank Explorer, a Deacon, and he has people from Shadow protecting him...”
“If we move against him now, I'm afraid...”
Zhou Tiannan turned and glanced at him.
That gaze was as cold as ice.
“I said, he cannot be allowed to stay.”
“But not right now.”
He took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart.
“This boy is growing too fast.”
“A few months ago, he was just a piece of trash with an F-Rank Talent.”
“And now? At Rank 46, he can take on three Level 50 alien warriors alone.”
“In a few more months, what level will he reach?”
“Rank 50? Rank 60? Or even Rank 70?”
He paused, his voice turning even more somber.
“By then, forget Tianhao—even the entire Zhou Family won't be able to stop him.”
Zhou Tianbei fell silent.
He knew his Elder brother was telling the truth.
That Lin Feng was too much of a Prodigy.
A Prodigy so great it was frightening.
“Then... what should we do?” he asked.
Zhou Tiannan closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
Then, he opened them.
“Wait.”
“Wait for what?”
“Wait for the Panzi Race,” Zhou Tiannan said slowly. “That Gazi Race voice said the Panzi Race would come looking for trouble.”
“When that happens, Lin Feng will definitely take action again.”
“The Panzi Race won't be as stupid as the Gazi Race, sending three Level 50s to their deaths.”
“They will definitely send someone stronger.”
“If Lin Feng dies at the hands of the Panzi Race, that would be best.”
“If he doesn't die...”
He paused, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
“Then we will do it ourselves.”
“We'll unite with the Shen Family, the Su Family, and everyone else who can't stand him.”
“No matter how strong he is, he's just one person.”
“Can he really turn the world upside down?”
Zhou Tianbei nodded.
“Understood.”
Zhou Tiannan said no more.
He turned and flew toward the manor.
...
The Shen Family.
The Elder of the Shen Family, Shen Tiannan—Shen Yutang's father—called Shen Yutang to his study immediately after returning to the manor.
Shen Yutang pushed the door open and saw his father sitting behind the desk with a solemn expression.
His heart skipped a beat.
“Father, what's wrong?”
Shen Tiannan looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds.
“Stay away from that Lin Feng from now on.”
Shen Yutang was stunned.
“Why?”
“Why?” Shen Tiannan's voice rose. “You don't know why?”
“Do you know what he did today?”
Shen Yutang shook his head.
He hadn't gone to the Old City District today; he had only heard that something happened there, but he didn't know the specifics.
Shen Tiannan took a deep breath and recounted today's events from beginning to end.
From the eruption of the void fissure to the descent of the universe will, to Lin Feng fighting three alien warriors alone.
From Kakarot III's self-destruction to Lin Feng turning into light, and him feeding an SSS-Rank weapon to a mysterious small tower.
Every single detail was explained clearly.
After hearing this, Shen Yutang's face turned pale.
“He... he fought three of them alone?”
“Yes.”
“And won?”
“He won.”
“And he's still alive?”
“He's alive.”
Shen Yutang's mouth hung open, unable to speak for a long time.
He remembered how he had wanted to kill Lin Feng to steal his treasures in the Secret Realm.
Thinking about it now, he had truly been seeking death.
“Father, then... what should we do?”
Shen Tiannan was silent for a while.
“Observe for now.”
“The Zhou Family has a grudge against him, and Zhou Tiannan won't let it go.”
“Let it be a dog-eat-dog situation.”
“We will... sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.”
Shen Yutang nodded.
“Understood.”
...
The Su Family.
The patriarch of the Su Family, Old Master Su Wanshan, sat in the garden after returning to the manor, staring at the blooming flowers in a daze for a long time.
Beside him, Su Xiaonuan came skipping over.
“Grandpa! Grandpa! I heard something big happened in the Old City District! What's going on?”
Old Master Su Wanshan looked at her and smiled.
“It's nothing major, just a young man who had a fight.”
“A fight? Who?”
“Lin Feng.”
Su Xiaonuan's eyes lit up.
“Lin Feng? The Lin Feng who saved me in the Secret Realm?”
“Yes.”
“Did he win?”
“He won.”
Su Xiaonuan clapped her hands in delight.
“Wow! He's so amazing!”
Old Master Su Wanshan smiled as he watched his granddaughter's excitement.
Then, he withdrew his smile and said seriously.
“Xiaonuan, if you get the chance in the future, spend more time with Lin Feng.”
Su Xiaonuan was taken aback.
“Why?”
Old Master Su Wanshan stroked her head.
“Because... in the future, he will be a very extraordinary person.”
Su Xiaonuan nodded, only half-understanding.
“Oh...”
...
Lin Feng had no idea about any of this.
He was currently flying over the city, heading toward the market.
He passed street after street and soared over building after building.
Below was the bustling street scene of Donghai City.
The traffic was heavy, and people were coming and going.
The sun shone on the glass curtain walls, reflecting a piercing light.
Everything was as usual.
No one knew that just a moment ago, this city had almost become a battlefield.
Lin Feng landed outside the market and retracted his Wind Wings.
He walked through the familiar alleys and arrived at the entrance of the “Fusion Workshop”.
The shop door was open, and the laughter of Li Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoyu could be heard from inside.
He pushed the door and entered.
“Boss!”
Li Xiaoyu was the first to see him; she gave a sharp cry and rushed over.
“Boss, you're finally back!”
Li Xiaoyu also ran out from behind the counter, her eyes sparkling.
“Boss, boss! We missed you so much!”
Pan Jingjing stood behind the counter; although she didn't rush over, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
“Welcome back, Boss.”
Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
“You've all worked hard these past few days.”
“It wasn't hard at all!” Li Xiaoyu waved her hand. “Even while you were away, we sold a lot of equipment!”
“That's right, that's right!” Li Xiaoyu agreed. “The turnover is almost twenty million!”
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
“Twenty million?”
“Yes!” Pan Jingjing nodded and took out the ledger. “In the past few days, we sold over five hundred pieces of blue equipment and over a thousand pieces of green equipment, for a total turnover of over nineteen million points.”
“After deducting costs and taxes, the net profit is around thirteen million.”
Lin Feng gasped.
Thirteen million?
This money-making speed was even faster than his Fusion!
“Great job!”
He praised them sincerely.
The three girls grinned from ear to ear.
“By the way, Boss, did you bring any new stock this time?” Li Xiaoyu asked expectantly.
Lin Feng smiled.
“I did.”
He began taking things out of his wanxiang ring.
Clatter—
Piece after piece of blue and purple equipment filled the counter.
These were all fused from Materials obtained while grinding in the Orléans Instance and the Old City District.
【Void Wolf Leather Armor (Blue) × 30】
【Void Winged Serpent Bracers (Blue) × 25】
【Dracula's Fang Dagger (Purple) × 5】
【Night Cloak Replica (Purple) × 3】
...and so on.
Li Xiaoyu's eyes widened bit by bit.
Li Xiaoyu's mouth formed an 'O' shape.
Pan Jingjing's hand holding the ledger was trembling.
“Boss... this... how many pieces is this?”
Lin Feng thought for a moment.
“Over two hundred pieces of blue equipment and over fifty pieces of purple equipment.”
“Nearly three hundred pieces in total.”
The three girls gasped simultaneously.
Three hundred pieces!
How long would it take to sell all of this?!
“Boss, how exactly... did you do it?” Pan Jingjing's voice wavered.
Lin Feng smiled but didn't explain.
“This should be enough to sell for a while. You girls take your time selling them; contact me anytime if anything happens.”
“Boss, are you leaving again?” Li Xiaoyu asked anxiously.
“I'm not leaving, just going to take care of some business,” Lin Feng said. “Don't worry, I'll be in the city and can come back at any time.”
Only then did the three girls breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Feng chatted with them for a while longer and handled some matters.
Then, he turned and left the shop.
Standing at the entrance, he looked back once.
The three girls had already started organizing the equipment, happily busy.
“This is good.”
Lin Feng smiled and turned to walk away.
...
Walking out of the market, the sun was just right.
Lin Feng stood by the street and took a deep breath.
Next, it was time to go to his Master's place.
He had too many questions about the Gazi Race, the Panzi Race, and the Ten Thousand Void Races.
He spread his Wind Wings and flew toward the old alley where his Master lived.
He crossed several streets and passed over several buildings.
Soon, the familiar, dilapidated old alley appeared before his eyes.
Lin Feng landed and retracted his Wind Wings.
Standing at the mouth of the alley, he looked at the three-story building with cracked exterior walls.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward.
