Liu Fang’s ssage in the group chat alleviated a certain icy mood.
Aunt Zhang and Xiuping both repeatedly thanked the big boss behind the supermarket, Mr. Zhang Guohui, feeling finally relieved that Li Hongxia and her daughter were saved.
Seeing this, Chen Feng’s gaze slightly relaxed.
He then rose and drew back the curtains.
The blue sky and white clouds ca into view, with the gentle breeze of autumn morning.
He glanced at the surrounding old neighborhood where more and more long sleeves and jackets began appearing on the clotheslines of exposed balconies, as the chill of autumn deepened.
But fortunately, not every place was so cold and indifferent.
"Sigh!"
Exhaling a breath, Chen Feng’s expression eased, barely suppressing most of his mixed thoughts.
Having only a little more than two hours of sleep during the night, he should have been extrely exhausted.
However, paradoxically, he felt unexpectedly well-rested at the mont.
After his breakthrough in the Fla Tiger Stance to Tiger Roar, he had entered the Bone Training Realm within the Martial Arts Circle.
His vitality was thriving, and his recovery rate far exceeded previous tis.
Besides that, it was his gains in the Dream World last night.
Although the ti was short and he hadn’t been able to enter the Sub Martial Arts Hall of the Extre Martial Arts Hall, his luck was fairly good; he found an Attribute Light Group and two Breakthrough Light Groups on the road.
The attribute enhancents increased his agility by 0.2, his constitution by 0.2, and his will by 0.1.
This elevated the upper limit of his body to a degree, relieving fatigue.
"After I’m done with Martial Arts training, I’ll visit the hospital," he thought.
With this thought, Chen Feng left the house.
He washed up, tidied up, and had breakfast.
Talking briefly to Chen Yun, who also appeared relieved, repeating several tis how fortunately they were safe.
"Mr. Zhang is really a good person. It looks like Xiao Yao and Sister Hongxia should be fine now."
"After I finish up, I’ll also take a trip to the hospital to see if I can help..."
With a sympathetic look, although Chen Yun had little contact with Li Hongxia and her daughter, she still wanted to lend a helping hand considering their situation.
Chen Feng tacitly agreed to this and finally left ho after finishing his al.
He made a journey, taking the bus.
Reaching the Martial Arts Hall earlier than usual.
"You’re pretty early today."
Lin Hao appeared in the changing room, dressed in a black loose short sleeve, greeting him as usual.
"Why aren’t you talking?"
Not receiving a response, he slightly raised his eyebrows, noticing Chen Feng’s unusual silence.
And perhaps it was an illusion, but he also felt that this guy’s temperant had gone slightly colder.
"It’s nothing."
Chen Feng gently shook his head, and conveniently put his clothes in the tal locker.
Thinking of the other’s mysterious and information-gathering capacity, he quickly asked: "Are you familiar with the Rainbow Group?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"How much do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao’s expression gradually turned serious.
"Did you offend the Rainbow Group?"
Chen Feng shook his head without speaking.
"Phew, that’s good."
Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "In one word, they’re untouchable."
"Zhao Jianlong has been an old Councilman of the United Council for ten years, with substantial funds and nurous connections; he has also recruited many strong individuals under him."
"Transford People, fighters, they have all of them, and it’s said that he has recently left Nanjiang, seemingly planning sothing big..."
Chen Feng’s gaze subtly flickered, then asked a na.
"What about Jia Peng?"
Lin Hao frowned.
After staring at Chen Feng for a few seconds, he finally sighed.
"Hope you really haven’t offended the Rainbow Group."
"Jia Peng is Zhao Jianlong’s youngest son, quite favored, a notorious bad boy in the second-generation circles of Nanjiang, always guarded by a 24-hour security team from the Rainbow Group..."
Squinting his eyes, Chen Feng got a detailed understanding.
Seeing his expression, Lin Hao had a déjà vu feeling.
"Listen to my advice, don’t ss up."
"Okay, I was just asking."
As their gazes t, Lin Hao felt a headache coming.
Fortunately, he didn’t ponder deeper but instead took advantage of the brief break to change the subject.
"Let’s not talk about this."
"The club is almost on the right track; do you want to take a look this afternoon?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng paused, suddenly recalling his promise to visit the club today.
After contemplating for a mont, with Chen Yun temporarily at the hospital,
"Alright."
He nodded, wanting to see for himself what this club, belonging to the both of them, looked like.
Then, the ti was close to 9 o’clock.
The two briefly discussed a few related topics and then each headed into the training room and Quiet Room.
Up to now, although Chen Feng was not yet an Official Disciple, thanks to Cao Tong’s tacit approval, he had a unique treatnt within the Core Class.
He could freely decide his training ti, and the Quiet Room had beco his exclusive place.
"Don’t rush to train."
Suddenly, Cao Tong appeared at the doorstep of the Quiet Room, calling him.
Chen Feng was a bit startled, then saw him smiling: "Co with , I have good news."
Without asking further, Chen Feng quickly followed Cao Tong down in the elevator to the basent floor.
Passing through the tal corridor, the familiar scent of herbs hit his face.
Neatly placed wooden cabinets, and the Third Elder, dressed in a gray robe and lying leisurely on a lounge chair like an idle ancient person, still resting with eyes closed.
"Third Elder."
Cao Tong respectfully called out, and he opened his eyes.
His cloudy gaze stayed on Chen Feng, seemingly noticing sothing, and slightly flickered.
"Although you are not yet an Official Disciple, you are indeed a person from our Yanwu Gym."
"If you encounter any trouble, you can co to ."
The Third Elder spoke casually, Cao Tong was stunned, but Chen Feng felt surprised.
It was noticed.
He could feel that his state was a bit off, ever since last night.
Not deliberately controlling it, he seed a bit unwelcoming to strangers.
"Alright, I won’t chat more."
"Take it."
The Third Elder didn’t say much, simply tossing over a white jade porcelain bottle.
It accurately landed in Chen Feng’s embrace, its slightly cold touch bringing him back to his senses.
"This is the secret dicine, Rock Tiger Pill, specially to assist in the training of the Giant Tiger Technique."
Cao Tong quickly explained in a quiet voice, Chen Feng looked surprised, sowhat puzzled.
They allow him to train in True Skill exceptionally and even gifted him secret dicine?
What for?
He didn’t believe in free favors.
"You have good talent, in a while, you will co to know so things."
"I rarely see a decent junior in my lineage, so I cherish the talent," the Third Elder said in a flat tone and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
Chen Feng sensed a hint of a mystery, though unexpected, he could feel that the Third Elder was telling the truth.
"Thank you, Third Elder."
"Hmm."
Without lifting his head, the Third Elder waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Chen Feng nodded and quickly left the basent level with Cao Tong.
"Brother Cao, do you know what the Third Elder was talking about?"
Chen Feng asked in the elevator, and Cao Tong shook his head.
"I don’t know either, but the Third Elder definitely won’t harm you."
His tone firm, Chen Feng nodded lightly, feeling fortunate to not probe further.
The two eventually exited the elevator, and soon a figure in white attire appeared opposite them, followed by a disgraced Wu Tian bowing his head.
They crossed paths, with Cao Tong adhering to the indoor rules, stopping in his tracks, and respectfully addressing.
"Senior Sister Wu."
"Hmm."
Nodding indifferently, Wu Shuang swiftly walked past with Wu Tian and entered the elevator.
A closer look revealed their destination was also the basent level.
Seeing this, Cao Tong shook his head but prudently chose not to say more.
Shortly after, Chen Feng parted ways with him and returned to the Quiet Room alone.
"Swallow directly and then follow the training scripture of Giant Tiger Technique to refine the dicine’s power."
Upon rembering Cao Tong’s reminder, Chen Feng quickly removed the brown wooden lid from the white jade porcelain bottle and poured out a round, brown elixir.
It had a faint fragrance, seemingly of honey.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth, threw it in, chewed, and swallowed.
The taste sowhat resembled over-the-counter Chinese dicinal pills but was far less bitter.
Imdiately, he stood straight with legs firm, like an old tree rooting into the ground.
Chen Feng recalled the scripture of the Giant Tiger Technique, sank his weight, and visualized the Red Tiger Flying Sky Map again.
Buzz!
Instantly, his spirit completely concentrated, sinking into his heart to guide the blood and qi inside his body, tempering his bones and flesh.
At the sa ti, following the intake of the elixir, a warm current swiftly spread throughout his body, rging into its parts.
Ti passed quietly, and an interface automatically appeared before Chen Feng, showing his progress feedback.
[Giant Tiger Technique: Entry-level (54%....55%...56%....)]
In addition, the foundation pile skills that combined thods and fighting forms, the Fla Tiger Stance, also progressed!
[Fla Tiger Stance: Tiger Roar (1%....2%...3%...)]
....
At the sa ti.
In a villa’s grand hall.
Delicate crystal chandeliers hung from above, with sunlight filtering through intricately carved windows.
Around the brown genuine leather sofa, several won clothed in bath towels with short hair slept exposed, with a young man wrapped in a bath towel sleeping amidst the soft fragrance, embraced from both sides, still in deep sleep.
"How long has Mr. Peng been asleep?"
In ca Zhou Wen, wearing gold-rimd glasses and dressed like a civilized elite.
The bodyguards behind him checked the ti and answered, "Not yet six hours, he was checked by the dical team last night, no serious issues besides so superficial head injuries."
"And these won?"
"Mr. Peng took a stimulant last night, and the guys couldn’t stop him."
Zhou Wen slightly frowned, about to say more when he noticed the young man on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel waking up.
"It’s early in the morning and already so noisy, can you keep it down?"
With a tone of impatience, Zhou Wen and the bodyguards wisely remained silent.
Then, the young man propped himself up and leaned against the leather sofa.
Footsteps sounded, and soon other bodyguards walked out from the villa’s corners, bringing a recovery potion to him.
Gulp!
Gulp!
He finished it in one go, in just over ten seconds.
The young man’s pale complexion gradually flushed, evidently recovering significantly.
"Alright, speak up."
Setting down the cup, Zhao Jiapeng looked up impatiently at Zhou Wen, "How was last night’s incident handled?"
"Mr. Peng, the Security Bureau has been dealt with, no issues there, but the family mbers of the two injured are sowhat reluctant to sign."
Zhao Jiapeng narrowed his eyes, "What, just a few cheap lives, you can’t handle it?"
"Mr. Peng, there’s so unrest in Nanjiang recently, many eyes are watching us."
Serious in tone, Zhou Wen pushed his glasses and explained, "Also, there are many people in the hospital, it’s not easy for our n."
Silence fell after he spoke.
"They really have the guts? They dare not want the dical fees?"
"The ones from Jinxiang Food and Yonglefu’s Zhang Guohui helped them, possibly that’s their confidence."
Hearing this, Zhao Jiapeng cursed, "Motherfucker, that old bastard Zhang Guohui dares to ddle in my business?"
"Don’t you know to warn him!!"
His cursing echoed, with no one responding.
Zhou Wen’s expression remained unchanged, though he sighed internally.
"Mr. Peng, although Zhang Guohui isn’t much of a significant figure, he’s quite close to Councilman Xu."
This simple sentence made Zhao Jiapeng take a couple of deep breaths.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Barely suppressing his irritation, Zhao Jiapeng said irritably, "My dad is about to return to Nanjiang, it won’t be good for you if he learns about this."
"Mr. Peng, rest assured, the family mbers of the injured are just ordinary people."
"External forces always run out, within two days, I will resolve this matter."
Zhou Wen’s tone was firm, which finally eased Zhao Jiapeng’s expression a bit.
Then, with impatience, he waved his hand, watching Zhou Wen leave.
He pinched the necks of the won beside him, ignoring their cries of pain, feeling only deep disgust and irritation.
"If I had known it’d be such a hassle, I should’ve just killed them all last night...."
