"I wonder what level Huo Feng has reached in his training. A month has passed, and even if he were to enter seclusion for three months, it would be hard for him to make significant progress. I don't understand why Lord Mo brought him in."
"Chief Liu, I wanted to be prepared for any situation. It's unavoidable; after all, we are struggling to compete with the Sugarless faction, and we have no means to counter the conspiracy of the other three halls against the Martial Hall. So if we fail, we can only hope that Huo Feng can awaken that girl's memory. We just need to ensure his safety and support whatever he wants to do."
In a secret chamber, two people were conversing: Nangong Wuqing and Chief Liu.
In the abandoned backyard of the Southern Mansion, Huo Feng was in the messy center of the courtyard. "The power of this ‘Star Blade’ is truly immense; it can unleash thousands of silver-white Starlight Blades at once, piercing through everything in its path. I wonder how many I can produce after reaching the Earth Vein Realm. Just now, a movement technique called ‘Meteoric Steps’ flashed through my mind; let me try that."
Following the instructions, Huo Feng circulated his Stellar Energy throughout his body until it gathered at his feet. A layer of silver light emanated from his feet, and he felt his body become much lighter. With a thought, Huo Feng instantly flashed to the corner of the wall.
"According to the inheritance method, my current realm should allow me to teleport a hundred meters with one step, but I can only manage three steps here because this place is too cramped. Moreover, with ‘Meteoric Steps’ at the Earth Vein Realm, one step could cover a hundred miles; at the Vein Realm, one step could span a thousand miles. Unfortunately, there are no further enhancements beyond the Vein Realm, but that's still quite impressive."
"I should go out and spar with Nangong Yu. I also want to test another ability of ‘Meteoric Steps’."
Feeling frustrated about his training over the past month, Huo Feng was finally ready to relax and felt unusually lighthearted as he used ‘Meteoric Steps’ towards the door.
Suddenly, Huo Feng collided with something soft and fragrant. He heard a gasp and realized he had bumped into Nangong Yu.
Quickly apologizing, Huo Feng said, "Are you okay? I'm sorry! I just came out after being in seclusion for so long and got too excited without paying attention to my surroundings."
Initially frowning with anger, Nangong Yu's expression changed instantly as she stared at Huo Feng. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she asked slowly, "Are you... a monster?"
Taken aback, Huo Feng thought, Did I really bump into her that hard? How did that make me a monster? He waved his hand in front of Nangong Yu's face and asked, "Are you alright? I really didn't mean to."
Gradually regaining her composure but still filled with curiosity, Nangong Yu asked, "How have you trained? In just one month, you've caught up to me; you're already at the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm. And your Origin Force seems even more robust than mine."
"Is it really that fast? I thought it was slow," replied Huo Feng, scratching his head.
"You pervert, are you still slow? Do you know how long it took me to go from Networking Stage Five to Eight? A full three months, and I was carried through it. You reached it in just one month; that's really disheartening," Nangong Yu said, feeling quite defeated.
"Ah! So that's how it is, hehe," Huo Feng chuckled awkwardly. He had been unable to cultivate before and didn't understand what the progress of cultivation was like or what counted as an achievement; he was completely new to it.
"I've just finished my seclusion, and I want to see how I'm doing now. Can you practice with me?" Huo Feng smiled at Nangong Yu.
"Is that how you do things? Getting your hands itchy and trying it out on girls? Do you even know what it means to cherish a lady?" Nangong Yu scolded.
Huo Feng's face turned red, and he said shyly, "No, it's just that you're the only one I know here. I wouldn't dare approach Nangong Mansion Master or Uncle Liu."
"Alright then, seeing you so pitiful, I'll help you out."
"So does that mean you agree to spar with me?" Huo Feng perked up immediately.
"Dream on! But I can find someone skilled for you to practice with. He's about my age and also at the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm. Come with me," Nangong Yu said as she headed toward the hall.
Seeing that someone would spar with him, Huo Feng followed excitedly.
Huo Feng followed Nangong Yu into the hall and saw that besides Nangong Wuqing and Chief Liu, there was another young man present. This young man had fiery red hair and a sharply defined face, standing slightly taller than Huo Feng. He noticed Huo Feng and approached Nangong Yu, saying, "Yuer, you're here too."
Then he turned to Huo Feng and asked, "Who is this?"
"My name is Huo Feng," Huo Feng replied.
"Kid, what kind of talent do you have to reach the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm at this age?" Nangong Wuqing looked at Huo Feng in surprise, while Chief Liu also wore an incredulous expression.
Huo Feng awkwardly scratched his nose and didn't say anything. After all, they weren't very familiar yet, so he couldn't reveal too much about himself.
"Brother Xuanran, this is Huo Feng who just came out of seclusion and is itching to practice. Why don't you play with him?" Nangong Yu said with a mischievous smile.
The one called Xuanran rubbed his hands together and said, "Great! I've recently been practicing a Combat Technique as well. I actually came to find you for a spar. This works out perfectly; I feel a bit restrained when fighting you. Hahaha!"
Huo Feng shot a glance at Nangong Yu, realizing that Nangong Yu had passed the burden onto him. However, Huo Feng was also itching for a fight; after making such significant progress during his seclusion, he indeed needed some practice.
"I couldn't agree more, Brother Xuanran. Let's head to the Training Arena," Huo Feng replied with a smile.
"Wait, don't rush into sparring just yet; there will be plenty of time for that later. Besides, I have a great opportunity for you all to showcase your skills," Nangong Wuqing interrupted them.
"Dad, what's going on? I want to see who is stronger!" Nangong Yu urged.
At that moment, Chief Liu stepped forward and said, "You all know about the Xuanyuan Family's Lanxuan Auction House, right? Their young master has been captured by the Shadow Demon Organization from Black Yan Mountain, and they are currently trying to rescue him. They have also issued a bounty: whoever rescues the Xuanyuan young master will receive one million Symbol Coins and an Earth Level Combat Technique. Do you have the courage to give it a try?"
As Huo Feng pondered this, Xuanran patted Huo Feng on the shoulder and said, "What's there to be afraid of? A man should dare to take risks. Right, Brother Huo Feng?"
Huo Feng felt helpless; Xuanran's appearance seemed completely at odds with his personality. However, Huo Feng appreciated Xuanran's boldness. If it weren't for his past experiences leading to a cautious nature, he might have been just like him.
Then Huo Feng cheerfully said, "This suits me just fine."
"Count me in too!" Nangong Yu chimed in.
"Good! Young people should have ambition; it really brings back memories. Chief Liu, give them the map and information. Since you've all made up your minds, prepare yourselves and get ready to set off," Nangong Wuqing said with a smile.
Chief Liu walked up to Nangong Yu and handed her the map and documents before passing a mask to Huo Feng and saying, "Make sure to wear this from now on; warriors shouldn't reveal their identities."
"Got it! Thank you," Huo Feng replied as he took the mask.
"Is there anything you need to prepare?" Xuanran asked eagerly.
"I don't have anything," Huo Feng answered.
"I don't need to prepare anything either," Nangong Yu said.
"Then I'll set off now; I can't wait any longer," Xuanran said excitedly.
"Alright."
"No problem."
Once the three reached a consensus, Huo Feng put on his mask, and they set off directly.
"Lord Mo, are you sure it's safe to let them go like this? The Shadow Demon Lord in the Shadow Cave is at the first level of the Earth Vein Realm," Chief Liu asked with concern after they left.
"Young people need to experience challenges. Only when they are on the brink of life and death can their potential be unleashed, and their combat awareness will also improve. You should follow closely behind them and keep an eye on them. Don't intervene unless absolutely necessary," Nangong Wuqing replied.
"Understood."
With that, Chief Liu vanished from Nangong Wuqing's sight.
"The Shadow Demon resides in a cave on Black Yan Mountain, which is known as the Shadow Cave. Black Yan Mountain is a mystical mountain range located south of Holy City, where the magical beasts use illusions. Moreover, the Shadow Demon Lord is at the first level of the Earth Vein Realm, and he has two subordinates at Network Realm Level Nine. It seems like it won't be easy to deal with," Nangong Yu said, frowning as he looked over the information after leaving the south gate of Holy City.
Huo Feng also found it somewhat troublesome but showed no signs of fear. He then said, "The key issue is those magical beasts that can use illusions. We can handle people well enough, but we don't understand the habits and thinking of magical beasts."
"There's no point in thinking about it now; we can only learn by fighting against them. Let's hurry to Black Yan Mountain first," Xuanran urged, feeling increasingly excited about the unknown and his fighting spirit rising.
After a long journey, that night, Huo Feng and his companions finally arrived at Black Yan Mountain.
"How about we take a break here and wait until dawn to go in? It will be safer," Nangong Yu suggested.
"That would waste too much time." Huo Feng quickly moved towards Black Yan Mountain.
Seeing Xuanran enter directly, Huo Feng and the others had no choice but to follow closely behind.
"Strange, why is there not a single beast's aura?" Huo Feng wondered.
"Everyone, stay alert," Xuanran said as they entered.
At that moment, Huo Feng felt a sudden brightness in front of him, and his mind became hazy. He suddenly found himself at home in Nottingham City, where countless shadows were rampaging through the Huo Family, and Huo Lianqing was desperately fighting back, suffering multiple injuries.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind Huo Lianqing and pierced through his back. Huo Lianqing spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his dim eyes towards Huo Feng, shouting, "Feng'er, run!"
Tears streamed down Huo Feng's cheeks as he rushed towards Huo Lianqing, shouting loudly, "Father."
