Chapter 4: Burst Out Skill! (First update, seeking recommendation!)
I hope everyone can support Xiaoding, Xiaoding is grateful.
The next day, Ye Fan went to the slaughterhouse as usual. At the pace of yesterday, he would be able to level up this afternoon. Thinking about it, his footsteps quickened involuntarily.
Arrived at the slaughterhouse, it was still that smooth and practiced movement, and the only difference from yesterday was that today's speed was noticeably faster than yesterday.
Lin Feng killed one after another, suddenly, after killing a chicken, a different voice from usual came into his mind.
"Ding, killed a chicken, gained some experience, obtained a Double Skill Book, please check the backpack space yourself, host."
Lin Feng was overjoyed in his heart, never expecting that he would actually burst out a skill book.
"Check backpack space."
With a "ding", Lin Feng's eyes suddenly appeared in front of a virtual backpack space screen, with many small empty spaces inside. At the bottom was written "Backpack Space Capacity: 1/50". In the first empty space of the backpack was placed a blue skill book, and Lin Feng's hand involuntarily clicked on that skill book.
Then a flash of light, some data appeared on the screen, and at the same time, a voice also appeared in his mind.
"Double Skill, Active Skill, Level 1, Host uses it to increase strength by 0.5 times for 5 minutes, cooldown time is 1 minute."
"Ding, has the host decided to learn Double Skill?"
Lin Feng saw these data, and in his mind, only two words emerged: powerful, against the sky.
In his heart, he hastily muttered, "Yes."
"Ding, host has learned Double Skill."
The blue light flashed on the screen, and Lin Feng suddenly felt that there was an extra thing in his mind called "Double Skill", which seemed to be usable as long as he thought about it. Although he wanted to try it out now, it wasn't the right time, as that fat pig Cui was calling him again.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he continued to repeat that somewhat tedious work.
As expected, nearly a hundred chickens were killed again this morning. When he looked at the character attributes to see how much experience was gained, the character attributes had changed slightly.
"Person: Lin Feng."
Age: sixteen weeks old.
"Cultivation: Xuanqi Disciple 5th Level."
"Skill: Double Skill, Level 1."
"Experience Points: 123/160."
"Introduction: A miscellaneous disciple of Qinglan Sect, currently living in a dilapidated small room. Mainly works at the slaughterhouse. Cultivation is mediocre, a small fry in the Jianghu world. Many people in Qinglan Sect can kill you instantly, but your strength is barely passable in the Miscellaneous Disciple Institute. You can barely become a small tyrant. Hope the host will continue to work hard!"
It seems that this skill's attribute was just added recently, Lin Feng thought to himself.
Just out of the slaughterhouse, trouble came again.
A lean-faced youth, with a hint of arrogance, stood tall in front of Lin Feng, looking down on him disdainfully and said coldly, "So you're Lin Feng? The one who defeated Zhang Qiang? I've heard that you have the strength of a sixth-level apprentice. Hmph, but I don't believe it. I am also at the sixth-level apprentice stage, and now, I will prove to them that they are just talking nonsense. Lin Feng, come on, accept my challenge!"
Lin Feng glanced at him faintly and spat out two words, "Boring!" Then, without even looking back, he turned around and left.
"He..." The young man pointed at Lin Feng, and as soon as he uttered a word, he found that Lin Feng completely ignored him and turned to leave. This made the proud young man's face turn red with rage, and in an instant, he rushed forward with lightning speed and slapped Lin Feng on the back with his right hand.
Just as he was about to hit Lin Feng, a sudden change occurred, and Lin Feng seemed to have grown eyes on his back, turning around and slapping the young man's hand with one palm.
"Slap"
A loud slap rang out, and the young man retreated seven or eight steps in a row, his right hand hanging down, his left hand tightly holding his right hand, with a thread of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at Lin Feng's eyes were filled with incredulous color, "You're not a fifth-level apprentice..."
Lin Feng slowly withdrew his palm, coldly staring at the young man, and said lightly, "I hate it when others sneak up on me from behind. This time is a lesson for you, don't do it again!" Then, without another word, he turned around and left.
People like this, he feels extremely annoyed, obviously not strong enough, but always put on a look of "I am the best in the world", it's disgusting to watch. There is a saying that goes well, no strength don't pretend to be a master, pretending to be a master will get struck by lightning, isn't this exactly what this kind of person does?
At the same time, Lin Feng also secretly felt a hint of luck. If he hadn't just burst out with a skill book, he might have been beaten up today. Thinking about this, Lin Feng had an urgent desire to improve his cultivation.
Suddenly, he thought, "Right, aren't there many wild beasts on the mountain behind? Those wild beasts may be just some meat for many people, but for me, they're all experience! Besides, those wild beasts are surely more formidable than chickens, and gaining experience should be more than killing chickens."
"Right, after the upgrade this afternoon, I'll quit with Cui Feizhu, and tomorrow I can go to the back mountain to kill monsters directly." Lin Feng made up his mind, and suddenly felt much better. He walked briskly towards his own room.
After finishing work in the afternoon, Lin Feng was promoted again and reached Apprentice 6th level. He directly resigned from Cui Feizhu, who was initially unwilling to let him go. "Haven't you seen how high Lin Feng's efficiency has been these past few days? If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to do it. They even tried to raise his salary to keep him."
But Lin Feng had already made up his mind not to do it, how could he possibly agree? So, under duress, he also had no choice but to agree to Lin Feng's resignation, although he was in charge, but he didn't have the power to force others to stay.
Lin Feng walked out of the slaughterhouse, suddenly feeling like a fish jumping in the vast ocean, a bird flying high in the sky. He let out a light breath, and his mood was instantly relieved several hundred times.
But this pleasant mood was suddenly broken by a voice.
"Lin Feng, you've finally come out! We've been waiting for you for so long!"
Lin Feng looked up to see the guy he had beaten up that morning, and he even brought someone with him. Lin Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he felt very annoyed in his heart. Not only was his mood ruined, but also this person wouldn't let go, to be honest, he really disliked people like this.
"Get out, I don't want to see you again."
Wei Lang immediately pointed at Lin Feng, his face red with rage, and said to the person beside him, "Fei Ge, look at this Lin Feng, he's still so arrogant in front of you, it's as if he doesn't take you seriously. You'd better teach him a lesson later."
Pang Fei gave Wei Lang a cold glance and said calmly, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Wei Lang was so frightened that he immediately shrunk his head, others may not know what kind of person Pang Fei is, but he knew very clearly, he hated it when people pointed fingers at him in front of him, just now in the heat of the moment, he actually forgot about this.
It's okay, Pang Fei didn't mind and instead looked at Lin Feng with a hint of admiration and fervor in his eyes. With an air of arrogance, he said, "Lin Feng, was it you who defeated Wei Lang this morning? It seems your strength is not bad. Are you interested in joining me? Oh, by the way, I have the strength of an eighth-level apprentice. As long as you follow me, you will be second only to me and above everyone else. All my subordinates will listen to your orders."
He dares to say so, naturally he has his confidence. He thinks that among the outer courtyard disciples, except for a few who are below the 9th level, no one can surpass him. Although Lin Feng defeated Wei Lang, he thinks Lin Feng's strength is at most that of a 7th-level disciple. Such a person, he naturally wants to recruit as his subordinate.
Among the miscellaneous disciples, it's not a single iron bucket. Wherever there are people, there will be benefits, and with benefits come disputes, which is inevitable. Pang Fei thought that all his competitors had one or two seventh-level apprentices under their command, but he didn't have any, so naturally, he was anxious. Now, hearing Wei Lang say that such a person existed, he hurried over personally to recruit Lin Feng, believing that with his own strength, he could subdue him.
"Not interested."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, originally he thought Wei Lang was bringing people over to settle accounts, but unexpectedly the other party actually wanted to subdue him. As for those things about miscellaneous disciples, he had also vaguely heard of them before. However, he didn't have the mood to waste time playing these games. Even if he were to play along, he would absolutely not submit to others, so he responded lightly and walked his own path.
Pang Fei saw that Lin Feng completely ignored his proposal, and his face immediately turned gloomy. It seemed that the policy of gentle persuasion would not work, and he could only use force to coerce him. He coldly shouted, "Hmph, since you won't agree, I'll beat you until you're interested."
"With a 'hiss' sound, he suddenly jumped out like a leopard, raised his fist and directly hit Lin Feng."
Lin Feng coldly looked at the furious Pang Fei, thinking to himself: "With your attitude, who can you possibly subdue? Even if you were given a free gift from heaven, those who submit to you would definitely not be doing so willingly. It's inevitable that they will betray you in the future. What's the use of subduing someone like this?"
Looking at the fist in front of him, Lin Feng coldly shouted "Double Skill" and blasted towards Pang Fei's fist. His cultivation had just advanced to Apprentice 6th level this afternoon, and one punch could exert a force of 350 catties. After using Double Skill, his one punch could exert a force of 525 catties.
A dull thud was heard, Lin Feng didn't move a single hair, while Pang Fei retreated five or six steps back before stopping his backward momentum.
Pang Fei felt the force that had just been transmitted from Lin Feng's hand, and looked at him in shock with a somewhat uncertain expression, asking, "Are you a ninth-level apprentice?"
"Hmm."
Lin Feng coldly snorted and didn't respond, directly saying, "Do you still want to subdue me as your junior now?" His current strength had already surpassed that of a true 9th level apprentice. To know that the greatest strength of a 9th level apprentice was only around 500 jin, while he possessed 525 jin of strength, so acknowledging it wasn't a problem.
Seeing Lin Feng indirectly acknowledge, Pang Fei couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. He had thought he could take on a seventh-level junior apprentice, but unexpectedly the other party actually possessed ninth-level apprentice strength that was rarely seen throughout the entire Miscellaneous Academy. Not daring to offend him, he hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying "Sorry, Lin Feng, this matter is my fault, I really didn't think you would have ninth-level apprentice strength."
As he spoke, he took out several dozen taels of silver from his clothes and handed them to Lin Feng, saying, "This is a little apology from me, I hope you can accept it."
Lin Feng didn't even look at him, directly turned around and left with a very elegant demeanor. A voice came from far away, "I don't care about this kind of thing. Since you're so sincere, I'll let it go this time. Also, I'd like to advise you that before taking action, it's best to figure out what the other person is capable of, otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
Pang Fei looked at Lin Feng's back with admiration, "No wonder he is a ninth-level apprentice, this breadth of mind really makes me feel inferior."
Fei Ge, is Lin Feng's cultivation really that of a 9th-level apprentice?
Pang Fei looked at him calmly and said, "How could a ninth-level apprentice possibly be stronger than me? One punch and I was knocked back?"
At the apprentice level, only an apprentice of the 9th rank can knock out an apprentice of the 8th rank with one punch. This is common knowledge in the Xuanqi Continent. Unfortunately, people here will never know that there's something called a system in this world that can break these conventions and make the impossible possible.
Wei Lang asked again in confusion, "But why did he pretend to be very weak and stay working in this dirty slaughterhouse?"
Pang Fei sneered, "Hmph, these people all have different temperaments, who knows what they're thinking? And this time, you actually didn't even understand the opponent's strength before spouting nonsense, just wait and see how I'll deal with you when we get back."
Pang Fei waved his hand and the two of them left together.
The next day, shocking news spread throughout the servants' quarters.
That's why Lin Feng was actually a 9th level cultivator, and had been hiding his true strength all along. The proof was Pang Fei, who had been defeated by Lin Feng.
When the news came out, the entire servant's court was shocked and couldn't believe that the news was true. So many people went to the slaughterhouse the next day to find Lin Feng, some to see his skills, some to challenge him, and even those who wanted to ask Lin Feng to take them as apprentices. But Cui's words instantly shattered their thoughts: "He has already resigned and is no longer here."
Everyone rushed to Lin Feng's residence, only to find that he had already left and his house was empty. No one knew where Lin Feng had gone.
