HCB Chapter 9 Future Plans
Chapter 9 Future Plans
The farce ended, and the Li family suffered a defeat.
The training ground was a mess, littered with the remains of strange beasts and bloodstains.
Several martial arts gym staff members began cleaning up the scene, their faces still showing signs of shock.
Lei Xiong called Ye Feng to his office on the second floor.
The office was small and simply furnished, with just a table and a few chairs.
Qiang Lei Xiong sat behind the table, his smile gone, replaced by a solemn expression.
"sit."
Ye Feng sat down opposite him.
Lei Xiong paused for a moment before speaking: "To be honest, the skill you showed today is something I've never seen before in my twenty years of teaching."
"Two purple attributes, late-stage Tier 1, capable of killing nine Tier 2 beasts in fifteen seconds. I've never even seen anything like it."
"At least I survived in the suicide squad," Ye Feng said.
"More than that." Lei Xiong shook his head. "If your talent were exposed, the Night's Watch would treat you like a treasure."
"The Vanguard Battalion is also a force under the Night's Watch!"
"However, the Li family will let you go."
Ye Feng remained silent. He knew this in his heart.
For a large family like the Li family, losing a man's manhood is not only the loss of an heir, but also a great disgrace.
They are unlikely to give up so easily.
"The Li family's influence is deeply rooted in Jiangcheng," Lei Xiong continued. "On the surface, they have businesses and connections, but secretly they keep a group of martial artists who do dirty work."
"You made Li Mo a eunuch today, and that old man Li Wanshan will definitely not let it go. You live alone in a low-rent apartment, it will be too easy for them to cause you trouble."
"What does the instructor mean?"
Lei Xiong tapped his fingers on the table.
"The best thing for you would be to join the Night's Watch. You're not only a descendant of martyrs but also a warrior with two purple-tier talents. No matter how powerful the Li family is, they can't get their hands on the Night's Watch."
"But the problem is you still have seven days until the trial!"
"The Li family will definitely make their move against you in the next few days!"
"I suggest you leave the city in the next few days!"
Ye Feng's brows twitched slightly.
"Leave the city?"
"Yes." Lei Xiong stood up, walked to the wall, and pointed to the map.
"Outside Jiangcheng lies a vast wilderness, teeming with strange beasts, but there is also a group of people who make a living by hunting these beasts—the wilderness hunters."
"They formed small teams to hunt strange beasts outside the city and bring back materials to sell. These people made a living in the wilderness year-round, were strong and experienced, and most importantly, their whereabouts were unpredictable."
He turned to look at Ye Feng: "No matter how powerful the Li family is, they can't reach into the wilderness."
"You can join a hunter squad and stay outside the city for a while. This will allow you to avoid the Li family's retaliation and continue to train."
"Once your trial day arrives and you join the Night's Watch Vanguard, you'll be safe."
Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
Evading pursuit was one aspect, but more importantly, there were strange beasts outside the city.
That's an endless amount of kill points.
To him, the beasts were kill points, and kill points were strength.
In the city, he could only practice with a few exotic beasts occasionally provided by the martial arts school, which was too inefficient.
But once he's in the wilderness, he can unleash his full potential.
"I agree," Ye Feng said.
Lei Xiong was greatly relieved, but still asked one more question: "Aren't you going to hesitate?"
"No need. The instructor is right, this is the best option."
Lei Xiong laughed: "You're quite straightforward, kid."
He picked up the communicator on the table, flipped through the contact list for a while, and found a number.
"This man is Zhao Tieshan. He's an old brother I met during a mission. He's a third-tier martial artist."
"You can rest assured and follow him through the trials."
"Thank you, instructor."
"No need to thank me." Lei Xiong waved his hand, his tone becoming serious.
"Ye Feng, I'm helping you because I believe in you. You're the most talented young person I've ever seen, bar none."
Instructor Lei's move can be considered an early investment. If Ye Feng truly becomes a great figure and an unparalleled powerhouse in the future, he will also benefit greatly.
Ye Feng stood up and said solemnly, "I will remember the instructor's kindness."
"Alright, alright, stop with the formalities." Lei Xiong patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Go back and prepare. Remember, in the wilderness, survival is the most important thing. Don't be reckless."
"clear."
Ye Feng left the martial arts school and returned to his low-rent apartment.
It was already getting dark. The streetlights in the low-rent housing area were dim and yellowish, and some of them were broken, making the stairwells pitch black.
He opened the door, and the room was exactly as he had left it that morning.
He sat on the edge of the bed and silently chanted in his mind, "System, open the panel."
Name: Ye Feng
[Occupation: Martial Artist, Psychic]
【Entry: Lingbo Weibu (Purple)】(Note: Can split into five illusory figures)
[Entry: Instant (Purple)] (Note: Bullet time effect increased by 400%, thrust distance: 0-8 meters)
[Cultivation Level: Early Stage 2 (Martial Artist), Early Stage 1 (Psychic Master)]
[Qi and Blood: 2388]
【Mental Power: 102】
[Techniques: Sword Drawing Technique (Red) (Proficiency 9%), Basic Footwork (White) (Proficiency 89%)]
[Cultivation Technique: Stellar Transformation (Orange) (First Two Chapters) (Mastery Level Perfected)]
[Kill Value: 0 points]
[Achievement Points: 3]
With 2388 Qi and Blood, he is still more than 600 points short of the 3000 Qi and Blood needed for the early to mid-stage of the second tier.
To break through to the Three Realms level, one needs 5,000 points of health.
Most importantly, the profession of psychic has appeared!
"What is a psychic?"
"No wonder my senses have been unusually sharp. Could it be related to this?"
"I'll ask Instructor Lei another day!"
The two purple entries also changed to different degrees as Ye Feng's strength increased to the second tier.
As for the epic-level red sword-drawing technique, the rate at which its proficiency increases is extremely slow.
Slaying ten second-tier alien beasts only increased the power by one percent.
However, my basic footwork improved by a full three percent.
There are 3 achievement points.
Ye Feng stared at that number for a few seconds.
"System, use achievement points to draw a prize."
[Ding! 1 achievement point consumed, drawing in progress]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Mechanical Frog x1]
A metal frog the size of a palm appeared in Ye Feng's hand.
It is entirely silver, exquisitely crafted, and has a small knob on the back.
[Mechanical Frog: Throwable, automatically activates upon landing. Once activated, it emits sound waves of a specific frequency, attracting strange beasts within a 100-meter radius to the sound source. Duration: 10 minutes. One-time use item.]
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
A monster-luring item? Good stuff.
If surrounded by strange beasts in the wilderness, you can use it to lure some of them away. Or, conversely, you can use it to gather the beasts together and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
"Keep smoking."
[Ding! 1 achievement point consumed, drawing...]
[Congratulations, host, you have gained: 100 Kill Points]
One hundred kill points. Not bad, better than the last one I drew.
"One more time."
[Ding! 1 achievement point consumed, drawing...]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Beanbag Sofa (Portable) x1]
Ye Feng was taken aback.
What appeared in my hand was a small ball about the size of a fist, which felt soft to the touch, like some kind of memory material.
[Portable Beanbag Sofa: When not in use, it can be compressed into a ball shape, weighing only 200 grams. When unfolded, it becomes a comfortable single sofa, usable on any terrain. It has a built-in temperature control system that automatically adjusts to the most comfortable temperature. It also has a certain camouflage function, blending in with its surroundings.]
Ye Feng looked at the ball in his hand, and his lips twitched.
Is this a sofa?
In the perilous wilderness, he pulled out a sofa and sat down to rest.
But it really is very cool!
Wilderness hunters often have to spend the night in the wild, so having a comfortable place to rest is a good thing.
Moreover, this thing can be disguised so it won't be too conspicuous.
He put away the mechanical frog and the beanbag chair, and then added 100 kill points to his health.
[Kill Value -100, Health +100! Current Health: 2488!]
We're one step closer to the 3000-point mark in the mid-stage of the second phase.
Ye Feng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
We're leaving the city tomorrow.
wilderness.
He had read countless materials about the wilderness in books and online.
Boundless strange beasts, a perilous environment, and hunters who make a living in the wilderness.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous at all. But more than that, I felt a sense of anticipation.
In the city, he could only accumulate kill points little by little, like squeezing toothpaste.
But once he was in the wilderness, he could do whatever he wanted.
Ye Feng closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
