Chapter 101: Chapter 90: Major Event

To provide food for the Nightmare, Lin Feng began going on adventures in Senhai daily, leaving early and returning late. With his exceptional archery skills, he started to make a name for himself in Senhai.

A legend about a Divine Archer circulated in Senhai, but not many believed it.

The entrance to the most low-level Otherworld, only allowing First Grade Martial Artists to enter, could possibly have a Divine Archer. Isn’t that a joke?

A week later, when Lin Feng returned to Jiangxin Middle School, he had already broken through to the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator, which astonished the four members of the Jianghu Martial Arts Club.

“Brother Feng, where have you been this past week? How did your cultivation speed increase so fast?”

On the rooftop, Yang Fan asked in amazement.

In less than ten days, Lin Feng had advanced from the Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator, a speed so exaggerated that it could only be described as a Demon Fiend.

Even a Martial Arts prodigy typically takes at least half a year to break through.

Although they knew that Lin Feng had reached the 21st form of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques, enhancing his Qi and Blood tenfold compared to them, it still did not negate Lin Feng’s exceptional Martial Arts talent.

“Is that so? I’ve been adventuring in Senhai these past days,” Lin Feng said.

“Senhai? You’ve been to Senhai?” Except for Gao Hai, the other three jumped in surprise.

After the initial shock, they realized that undoubtedly, entering the Otherworld to hunt Demon Beasts is the fastest way to enhance one’s power. However, as they’re still in the Body Cultivation Realm, even if they break through to become Martial Artists, they would probably wait until college before daring to enter.

The Boss truly is the Boss, incomparable to them.

“Brother Feng, if you didn’t have a hidden talent, you would probably have long since become a First Grade Martial Artist, right?” Gao Hai asked curiously, as with Lin Feng’s cultivation speed, it wasn’t impossible.

Breaking through to become a Martial Artist by age sixteen is recognized as a Martial Arts prodigy. Even Ye Qiu was still stuck at the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator, unable to break through.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, “You underestimate me. At least a Second Grade Martial Artist!”

Gao Hai’s eyes were full of shock, finding it hard to believe. There are a dozen sixteen-year-old First Grade Martial Artists in Jiang City every year, but a sixteen-year-old Second Grade Martial Artist can hardly be found anywhere in the world.

“Brother Feng, don’t scare me. I’m timid and can’t handle a scare,” Gao Hai joked.

“Why would I lie to you? Remember, Brother Feng will always be your Brother Feng. Our Martial Arts Club is not just any Martial Arts Club,” Lin Feng said without explanation.

“Kai, how have you been lately?” Lin Feng patted Yun Kai on the shoulder, surprised by Yun Kai’s transformation.

In just a week, Yun Kai had undergone a ground-breaking change.

Starting with his attire, Yun Kai used to wear long sleeves and pants to cover his fur, his clothes were obviously cheap.

But now, he’s wearing a black standard combat uniform for Martial Artists, which, from its material, must be worth at least ten thousand New Coins. Yun Kai’s previously thin frame had filled out with visible muscle contours, and there was a slight sweet smell emitting from him, indicating the Qi and Blood Pill was still being absorbed in his body.

Now, Yun Kai no longer resembled a beanpole. With his original height of 1.9 meters, coupled with a demonized appearance, he looked somewhat imposing. The once gloomy and self-conscious demeanor had now been entirely replaced by confidence and radiance.

“I’ve informed the family, and my treatment has increased a hundredfold, to the point of being overwhelmed by resources,” Yun Kai said with a smile.

These days, he had become the darling of the Yun Race, the pride of the family. After discovering his Ancestral Demonization, his treatment envied by all family members, his previous status as a despised bastard transformed into someone they sought to flatter and please.

Even the powerful Clan Leader and Elders treated him with respect, a treatment he had always dreamed of, but he found himself unhappy.

His parents apologized, his cute siblings no longer rejected him, and began to look up to him with admiration, hoping he would move back home, but Yun Kai refused without any hesitation.

On that night, after running out of the house in tears with a final glimmer of hope, he vowed never to return.

They liked Yun Kai with Ancestral Demonization, not Yun Kai with a uniquely half-beast appearance.

“Anything happen?”

Lin Feng frowned, sensing a hint of coldness behind Yun Kai’s sunny smile, and it was evident that something unpleasant had happened between Yun Kai and his family over the past week.

“What could happen? In the family, I’m their treasure. Everyone’s fawning over me, and I’m numb to it,” Yun Kai said with a smile, preferring to stay in the Jianghu Martial Arts Club over home.

Lin Feng and the other three were the first to extend friendship to him. Although Lin Feng also befriended him after knowing about his Ancestral Demonization, Lin Feng unconditionally informed him about awakening it, which was enough.

Moreover, Yun Kai couldn’t muster confidence in front of Lin Feng. His Ancestral Demonization talent seemed to be overshadowed by Lin Feng’s rapid cultivation speed!

“Brother Feng wasn’t around these days, I was bored to death,” Yun Kai complained, “How about I go with you to Senhai?”

“Can you go?”

Lin Feng asked with a smile. Being a genius with Ancestral Demonization, to the Yun Race, Yun Kai was their hope for revival, always guarded by bodyguards, there’s no way they’d let him enter Senhai.

Yun Kai quickly realized and shook his head with a wry smile.

“Alright, how did you do with the Martial Arts Club’s first mission?” Lin Feng inquired.

Seeing Lin Feng ask, Yang Fan quickly took out his notebook and explained to Lin Feng, “We’ve searched through 782 pharmacies in Jiang City and found 465 Purple-winged Spirit Insects. They were all purchased for under 80 New Coins each.”

Yang Fan continued, “These days, through Yun Nan’s connections, we bought 2,564 Purple-winged Spirit Insects from the Demon Spirit Master Association. Combined with the pharmacies’, that’s a total of 3,029, and we’ve hired someone to raise them. However, the market is catching on to our actions, and even though they don’t know our intentions, the price of the Purple-winged Spirit Insect has already soared to 800 New Coins each. The three million you left us is long gone, and we still owe Yun Nan 870,000.”

Lin Feng nodded, satisfied with collecting 3,029 Purple-winged Spirit Insects. If handled well, it could easily make three billion profit.

“Yu Nan, well done. Continue collecting the Purple-winged Spirit Insects, and notify me once the price breaks 10,000 New Coins,” Lin Feng nodded, encouraging Dong Yunan. It was clear that acquiring such a large number from the Demon Spirit Master Association was thanks to Dong Yunan’s connections.

“Brother Feng, as a member of the Martial Arts Club, it’s my duty,” Dong Yunan said, her smile causing her eyes to squint.

Initially joining the Jianghu Martial Arts Club due to her favorable impression and a little admiration for Lin Feng, but as the daughter of the vice president of the Demon Spirit Master Association and having refined an Eighth Grade Sea Demoness Spirit, Dong Yunan was confident and had a bit of pride facing Lin Feng and his friends.

But now, she had put away her little pride, becoming as humble as possible.

Once somewhat talkative, she now spoke far less.

She realized that besides Yang Fan and Gao Hai, her talent was crushed by Lin Feng and Yun Kai, without any means of resistance, even though she had refined an Eighth Grade Sea Demoness spirit.

“Here’s a million, to repay you, Yu Nan. When will your father be available? I’d like to meet him!” Lin Feng handed Dong Yunan a card and asked.

“Meet my dad? For what?”

Dong Yunan was surprised, unsure of why Lin Feng wanted to meet her father.

“Do you know how much these Purple-winged Spirit Insects are worth?” Lin Feng asked.

Gao Hai and the other three exchanged glances, shaking their heads. This was the question they were curious about, but since Lin Feng never mentioned it, they never asked.

“Thirty million?”

Yang Fan guessed, though he didn’t know Lin Feng’s purpose for collecting the insects, finding it absurd that the price had gone from 50 New Coins to 10,000 per insect.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “You’re missing a zero.”

“Three billion!”

Yang Fan exclaimed, even Yun Kai, who had remained calm, was startled. Given that the collection of these insects cost just over three million, the profit was nearly a hundredfold!

“Yes, three billion.”

“Brother Feng, are you planning a deal with my dad?” Dong Yunan asked.

Unquestionably, as mere high school seniors, collecting such quantities of Purple-winged Spirit Insects would be unrealistic. With the price now at 800 New Coins each, Lin Feng lacked the funds for large scale purchases.

They only collected in Jiang City, but across the Twelve Base Cities in the country, Purple-winged Spirit Insects could potentially bring a 30 billion New Coins profit.

A 30 billion profit, even for major corporations, their annual profit wouldn’t reach this.

“Not just me, it’s us, the Martial Arts Club. I want you all to understand this distinction; this money entails your merit, meaning each of you gets a share, with a minimum of five million each.”

Lin Feng shook his head, “I said, your contributions determine the treatments you earn from the Martial Arts Club, treatments that money can’t buy, and that’s the most precious.”

Dong Yunan nodded enthusiastically. Lin Feng’s words made her feel like part of something big, a grand project worth 30 billion New Coins, and she couldn’t help but feel excited.
