"Xiao Feng," a voice came, and in the courtyard appeared a middle-aged man, tall and powerful, bearing some resemblance to Lin Feng.
"Father," this man was Lin Hai, the head of the Lin family and Lin Feng's father. The fusion of souls allowed Lin Feng to possess the thoughts of both, so calling him father felt natural, and Lin Feng did not feel anything amiss.
"Xiao Feng, you... are well!" The lines on Lin Hai's face trembled. When Lin Feng was brought back to the Lin family, he was on the brink of death, hanging by a thread, in a coma. Lin Hai had lost hope and even started preparing for Lin Feng's funeral. But now, he saw a living son in front of him. How could he not be overjoyed?
"Yes, Father, I have fully recovered." Lin Feng saw the excitement in Lin Hai's eyes and smiled faintly, feeling very warm. After his grandfather passed away in his previous life, he had never experienced this kind of warmth, facing the vicissitudes of life alone.
"Good, good." Lin Hai patted Lin Feng's shoulder heavily. Looking at the dust of the stone pillar that had been reduced to powder, flashes of determination flickered in his eyes. His brothers were all waiting for him to die so they could seize the position of family head. They must be very disappointed now that Lin Feng had recovered so quickly.
At this moment, a cold chill suddenly emanated from Lin Hai's body, making Lin Feng feel like his body was freezing.
"Father is indeed a strong martial artist at the Spiritual Martial Realm. His aura alone can freeze weak martial practitioners." Lin Feng thought to himself. In the martial path, one first cultivates Qi, absorbing the qi of heaven and earth into the body, refining the body and hammering the martial soul until true qi is born, stepping into the Spiritual Martial Realm. At this stage, one can cultivate and master martial techniques, kill with one move, and become extremely powerful. Lin Hai was such a strongman at the Spiritual Martial Realm.
"Xiao Feng, who did this?" Lin Hai's face darkened. When Lin Feng was brought back, he was on the brink of death. Someone had tried to take Lin Feng's life, and in fact, they had succeeded in taking the life of that 'Lin Feng'.
"Father, let me handle this matter myself." Lin Feng did not tell Lin Hai that he had been injured by his third uncle's son, Lin Heng. In the family, his third uncle and eldest uncle were as thick as thieves, both coveting the position of family head. Moreover, in terms of strength and influence, they were not weaker than Lin Hai. Adding to that, Lin Heng was talented and was a outstanding disciple of the Yunhai Sect's outer sect, so he dared to act recklessly and injure Lin Feng.
This enmity, Lin Feng must repay it himself. The martial path does not tolerate any distractions; any kind of inner demon is an obstacle to a martial artist's growth.
Lin Hai looked at his son somewhat unexpectedly. Lin Feng, at this moment, had changed his past demeanor. His eyes were firm and resolute, showing no signs of decadence or weakness.
It seems that this time Xiao Feng has turned a misfortune into a blessing. Lin Hai felt gratified in his heart and nodded, saying, "Follow me to the family meeting tomorrow. I want to see how they plan to depose me as the family head."
...
The night was as lonely as water.
In the Lin family's purple bamboo forest, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, with a dark shadow behind him. This shadow almost completely merged with the darkness of the night, it was the Dark Martial Soul.
Lin Feng discovered in his cultivation that when using the Dark Martial Soul, his cultivation speed increased by more than five times. Therefore, despite his mental fatigue, he continued to use the martial soul. Since fate had given him a chance to be reborn, he naturally wanted to live a good life. In the Nine Heavens Continent, only the strong are respected and admired, able to command the wind and rain.
A faint milky white light shone in the dark night, enveloping Lin Feng's body. This was a phenomenon that occurred when the qi of heaven and earth became dense enough.
Talented individuals have extremely fast cultivation speeds, allowing the qi of heaven and earth to gather around them, forming an aura. At this moment, Lin Feng was obviously in such a state.
At this moment, Lin Feng breathed steadily, his face calm and peaceful. The qi of heaven and earth flowed in his body, merging with his blood and strengthening his muscles and bones.
After a while, a burst of light flickered, and Lin Feng's body suddenly turned into a bottomless pit, instantly devouring all the milky white qi of heaven and earth around him, leaving nothing behind.
Opening his eyes, a gleam of light flashed, as if a fleeting shadow, Lin Feng stood up, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He had broken through, advancing a realm overnight. At this moment, he had already reached the sixth level of the Qi Martial Realm.
However, Lin Feng was not satisfied. From his memories, he knew that reaching the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm was just the beginning of a martial artist's cultivation journey. True masters can fly in the air, roaming beyond the clouds. That was the realm of immortals in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng began to unleash his fists. The fist wind howled, and wherever it pointed, the green bamboo burst open instantly, with powerful spatial waves destroying the purple bamboo forest.
The Qi Martial Realm is divided into nine levels, with each level increasing strength by a thousand kilograms. At this moment, he was at the sixth level of the Qi Martial Realm, possessing six thousand kilograms of strength. If he were to use the sixth level of the Nine Waves he had cultivated, he would be able to unleash six thousand five hundred kilograms of powerful force. However, this was not enough for Lin Feng. If he could cultivate the Nine Waves to the seventh level, with each wave surpassing the last, then he should be able to possess seven thousand kilograms of strength, equivalent to the pure strength of a seventh level Qi Martial Realm martial artist.
Six thousand kilograms of strength were extremely powerful. The fragile purple bamboo kept bursting, and the entire space seemed like an ocean, with only the roaring fist wind and fist shadows.
At this moment, a curved green bamboo in the distance did not burst open in the fist wind, but rebounded and returned. This caught Lin Feng's eye, making his gaze freeze, and his fist speed slowed down.
"The Nine Waves is a martial technique created based on the waves of the sea. Each wave is stronger than the last, domineering and violent. However, just like the sea waves, apart from their domineering side, they should also have their gentle side. Only with a balance of strength and softness can one be invincible."
A flash of inspiration in his mind, Lin Feng's fist was no longer blindly violent, but gradually progressive, sometimes strong, sometimes soft.
"Ha!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, striking out with a punch.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The sound of explosions continued one after another, six bursts, seven bursts... eight bursts!
Where the fist wind passed
, all the purple bamboo turned into powder.
"The Eight Waves, so strong." Lin Feng took a deep breath when he saw the vacuum in front of him, stopped punching, and comprehended the essence of the Nine Waves. He had actually broken through two realms in a row, reaching the eighth level of the Waves. It should be noted that as martial techniques are cultivated further, it becomes increasingly difficult. A person at the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm can easily comprehend the Fifth Wave, but a martial artist at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm may not necessarily be able to use the Eighth Wave. However, Lin Feng had done it.
"Now I should have seven thousand five hundred kilograms of strength. As long as I understand the balance of strength and softness, it will be the time when the Nine Waves are perfected." Lin Feng was secretly delighted. As martial techniques become more difficult to cultivate, their power also increases exponentially. With his current strength of seven thousand five hundred kilograms, even facing a seventh level Qi Martial Realm warrior, he could fight.
The previous Lin Feng couldn't even defeat an ordinary fifth level Qi Martial Realm warrior and was looked down upon. Now, Lin Feng had only been in this world for one day and already possessed the combat power of a seventh level Qi Martial Realm warrior, crossing two realms directly.
