36: Chapter 36 Ambiguous Imagery

Ye Chen fled desperately toward the Jidao Martial Arts Hall like a stray dog!

On the way, the more Ye Chen thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

What he had done tonight was extremely secretive; no one should have known.

How did that Man in Black know about it and set an ambush in that pitch-black bridge tunnel in advance?

“Wait, that's not right. This matter wasn't entirely unknown. I told Wang Feng about it today at the Martial Arts Arena. Could Wang Feng have leaked it, and then someone else from the martial arts hall found out and secretly targeted me?”

“And that Man in Black... although the bridge tunnel was very dark and I couldn't see his face clearly!”

“In the flashes of saber light, I could vaguely see a thin figure in black. He was very similar to the guy who stole my blood ganoderma that night...”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's heart shook violently. “Could the Man in Black who ambushed us tonight still be Lin Feng?”

Once this thought arose, it spread through his mind like a wildfire.

First, Lin Feng had a precedent for this.

Second, it was highly likely that Lin Feng had gotten the news from Wang Feng and schemed against him again.

As for whether it was Lin Feng, he only needed to wait quietly to find out!

Because once Lin Feng succeeded, he would eventually return to the martial arts hall!

With that thought, Ye Chen quickened his pace and rushed toward the Jidao Martial Arts Hall ahead!

He took out his martial arts hall Disciple Token and opened the main gate.

He entered the martial arts hall.

Ye Chen continued to run forward!

Just as he was about to reach the Outer Court Disciple housing area,

Ye Chen stopped!

Then, with a sway of his body, he hid in a corner of the courtyard wall!

There was a large tree ahead, which happened to cover him completely.

Hiding here, he could clearly see the situation of the entire housing area!

Additionally, if someone entered the housing area from outside,

this was the only way in.

Ye Chen grit his teeth and waited quietly.

Time passed silently, minute by minute!

In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed!

Just then, the sound of rustling footsteps approached from a distance.

“He’s here!” Ye Chen’s spirits rose, and he quickly focused his gaze!

At a glance, his pupils shrank violently, and he almost couldn't help but cry out, “It really is that bastard!”

Although the night was hazy and he could only see a blurry figure,

Ye Chen could vaguely identify that it was Lin Feng.

He was about 1.8 meters tall with a lean build.

Having returned to the martial arts hall, Lin Feng had naturally changed out of his black clothes and back into his martial arts hall Disciple Uniform.

Lin Feng’s steps were light as he quickly walked toward his room!

Soon, under Ye Chen's gaze, he opened the door and went straight inside, slamming it shut with a bang!

Watching Lin Feng's figure disappear into the room, Ye Chen's fists clenched, and his teeth chattered.

Even though his fingertips were deep in his flesh and blood was flowing from his palms, he was unaware of it.

At this moment, his eyes emitted bursts of crimson light in the night, like a wounded Vicious Beast.

The killing intent in his heart was like a raging fire, burning madly...

“Lin... Feng, it’s Lin Feng again!” Ye Chen's voice was hoarse as he spoke in a low tone.

Every word seemed to be dipped in poison as it burst from his throat.

“This bastard is truly going too far, targeting me and snatching my Opportunity time and time again!”

“I, Ye Chen, swear to the heavens that if I do not kill you in this life, I shall not be called a man!”

At this moment, Ye Chen wished he could rush into Lin Feng's room and tear him into ten thousand pieces.

But as soon as the thought arose, he forcibly suppressed it!

Because he knew he was not yet a match!

Now that Lin Feng had returned successfully, it meant that Drunkard Gu Feng’s fate was likely sealed!

Even Drunkard Gu Feng couldn't beat Lin Feng. If he rushed over blindly, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?

“A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even if it takes ten years!”

“Lin Feng, you wait for me. I will absolutely not let you off easily!”

“When the time comes, I want you to pay back a thousandfold for what you took!”

Ye Chen took several deep breaths, only then managing to suppress the overwhelming killing intent in his heart.

Subsequently, he quietly stood up and walked toward his residence.

...

Back at his residence!

Lin Feng immediately closed the doors and windows!

Then, with a thought, he took out that jade box from his Storage Pouch!

Inside the box, a green earth spirit grass lay quietly.

This earth spirit grass was identical to the one Hall Master Su Tongtian had given him before.

It was also about the thickness of a thumb, with nine green leaves.

On each leaf, there were strands of strange red patterns.

“Haha, great! With this earth spirit grass, I can save another month of bitter cultivation!”

Looking at the earth spirit grass before him, Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly in the dark night.

As the saying goes, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

Lin Feng didn't have the slightest psychological burden regarding snatching Ye Chen's Opportunity!

Because if he didn't snatch it, when Ye Chen rose in the future, the first person he would kill would be himself.

Rather than that, it was better to intercept Ye Chen's Opportunity in advance.

The only regret was that he hadn't killed that bastard Ye Chen tonight.

He had only finished off his Dao Protector, Drunkard Gu Feng.

“But it doesn't matter. Once my cultivation skyrockets, what the hell will Ye Chen even be to me then?”

“If he dares to be insolent, I'll just kill him!” Lin Feng muttered to himself.

After speaking, he quickly put Ye Chen out of his mind!

He casually plucked a leaf and stuffed it into his mouth!

After chewing it a few times, he swallowed it.

Soon, a strange warm current slid down his throat and merged into his limbs and bones.

The familiar feeling was here!

Lin Feng felt incredibly hot, and the Qi and blood in his body surged like a raging tide.

Lin Feng hurriedly struck a pose and began to practice the Jidao Fist.

After finishing one set of Jidao Fist!

“Jidao Fist +20”

Seeing the increased points on the martial dao panel, Lin Feng was ecstatic.

As expected, it was just as he had guessed.

As his Realm increased, the experience points he gained while refining and absorbing the earth spirit grass also rose!

It had suddenly jumped from the previous 10 experience points to 20 points.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and continued to practice the Jidao Fist!

Over and over again.

While practicing the fist technique, his understanding of the Jidao Fist became increasingly profound!

Just then, Lin Feng seemed to vaguely sense a blurry Concept.

It was unclear and difficult to explain!

Although he didn't know what was going on, every punch he threw became much sharper and more powerful.

What Lin Feng didn't know was that this was the legendary Fist Intent!

As the saying goes, practice a punch a hundred times, and its meaning will manifest itself!

Practicing the sword yields Sword Intent, and practicing the saber yields Saber Intent!

And practicing boxing can similarly result in a Heaven-Defying Fist Intent!

Once Fist Intent is developed, the power of the Jidao Fist will increase exponentially.

Of course, Lin Feng had only been Cultivating for a short time and didn't know much, so he was unaware of the existence of Fist Intent.

He only vaguely felt that the more he practiced, the smoother it became, and the more powerful the fist technique grew.

As the medicinal effect of one leaf vanished, Lin Feng plucked the second leaf!

The third leaf...

The fourth leaf...

One after another...

About four hours later!

The entire earth spirit grass had been completely refined and absorbed by him.

Lin Feng glanced at the martial dao panel and found that the progress of his Jidao Fist had been grinded to [2480/4000 (Proficient)].

It had jumped from 80 points during the day to 2480.

This also meant that this earth spirit grass had increased his Jidao Fist experience points by 2400 points!

It was enough to match a month of bitter cultivation.

At the same time, the strands of Qi and blood in Lin Feng's Dantian also increased by dozens!

Now, it had reached as many as eighty-two strands!

Each strand was as thin as a hair and bright red as blood.

Once the Qi and blood increased to one hundred strands, it would mean he had officially advanced to the Spirit Gathering Realm Late Stage.

At that time, he would naturally step into the Core Condensation Realm!

Others might encounter a Bottleneck and stagnate at this Realm!

For example, Eldest Senior Brother Li Qiang had been in the Spirit Gathering Realm Late Stage for more than two years but had been unable to advance.

But Lin Feng was different; as long as the experience points for Jidao Fist were full, he could naturally and smoothly advance.

There were no Bottlenecks or obstacles!

“Haha, in about nineteen days, I will be able to smoothly advance to the Core Condensation Realm!” Lin Feng was in a great mood and laughed aloud!

Amidst his laughter, he was about to look away from the martial dao panel!

But just then, his pupils shrank violently, and his gaze instantly froze!

A line of remarkable content appeared on the martial dao panel...
