The Eighth Layer of Body Refining Realm defeating the First Layer of Qi Refining Realm, shouldn't it be the other way around? Such a strong contrast baffled many students, stirring huge waves in their hearts.
Is this the same person who Mo Ling'er called useless?
"The Eighth Layer of Body Refining Realm actually defeated Yang Tian from the First Layer of Qi Refining Realm with one punch? This is simply impossible, Feng Wuchen must be cheating!" Huangfu Qing would rather believe that Feng Wuchen was cheating than believe he had that kind of ability.
"Feng Wuchen did not cheat, he did it all with his own skill, of course, it's also Yang Tian's fault for underestimating his opponent," Instructor Li said.
"Is the talent of a Second Grade Martial Soul really that terrifying?"
"It's like a monster! Those in the Body Refining Realm can't even condense True Qi, could it be that his speed is very fast?"
"With such terrifying strength and talent, aren't we unmatched in our academy? The strongest in our academy only has a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul, isn't Feng Wuchen's talent even more frightening?"
The students were both shocked and envious, and for a moment, many gazes turned toward Feng Wuchen with admiration.
The Tianyan Empire is but a small nation and can't compare to large nations or great powers. It is extremely rare for the empire to have a genius with a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul.
Exactly because of this, Mo Ling'er, being a woman and awakening a Sixth Grade Martial Soul, received a lot of attention in the academy, and the elders focused on cultivating her.
In the academy, although there are many students, and any one of them would stand out in their own family, they are ordinary in the academy, because the majority of students have talents between Fifth and Sixth Grade. There are no more than ten geniuses with a Seventh-Grade Martial Soul in the entire academy.
A Martial Soul above Seventh Grade is considered a true genius!
Of course, among the powerful sects of the Tianyan Empire, there are also many talented disciples.
Although Mo Ling'er possesses high talent and is considered Unmatched City's top genius, that is only in relation to Unmatched City. If she were judged across the entire empire, she would only be considered average.
If judged across the entire Mainland, Mo Ling'er wouldn't rank at all.
"Quickly take him to see the Great Elder." After looking at Yang Yun's leg, Instructor Li hurriedly said, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Feng Wuchen.
"Feng Wuchen might appear easy to bully, but in reality, he is extremely ruthless. Those who offend him never end well, he is a dangerous individual," Instructor Li silently thought to himself, then followed along.
The students dispersed, but Mo Ling'er still stood there in a daze, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation surging within. She felt as if Feng Wuchen was constantly insulting her.
"Was I the one who was blind, or have you been deceiving me all along!" Mo Ling'er's face turned deathly pale, extremely distressed, not knowing whether to feel regret or to blame herself.
Remembering how she had publicly insulted Feng Wuchen in Unmatched City, trampling his dignity, Mo Ling'er felt like a clown, as if she was slapping her own face, a scorching sensation.
"It's truly laughable." Mo Ling'er's face was haggard, a mix of emotions flooding her heart.
Could she improve by two layers in three days? Increase by four layers in a month?
Mo Ling'er knew she couldn't do it, not even with the aid of Spiritual Liquid and elixirs!
At the gates of Tianyan Academy, Instructor Li used the Red-blood Bird to carry Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao back to Unmatched City.
The trip to Tianyan Academy, just like that, ended simply.
"Brother Feng, she will surely regret it. You don't have to be sad about this, it's not worth it," Ling Xiaoxiao, gazing at Feng Wuchen with beautiful eyes, said with a light laugh.
"I know. I just hope that the Mo family won't oppose my Feng family. In consideration of past affections, I won't act against the Mo family, but if they don't know what's good for them, then they can't blame me," Feng Wuchen replied indifferently. It wasn't that Feng Wuchen was compassionate, but that he valued loyalty.
Even though Mo Ling'er betrayed him and trampled his dignity, they were childhood sweethearts after all, and he could simply cut ties with her. There was no need to annihilate the Mo family.
"Mo Ling'er, thank you for not cherishing what we had and for your arrogance. You've given me a great opportunity, thank you for completing me," Ling Xiaoxiao silently thought as she looked in the direction of the academy.
After returning to Unmatched City and walking its streets, Feng Wuchen found that people's gazes toward him had changed. Gone was the previous contempt and disdain, replaced by respect and admiration, with passersby offering their praise.
This showed how important strength is!
With enough power, authority, status, wealth, and beauty are all within reach, and if you break someone's leg, they might still smile at you!
After Feng Wuchen collected some Seven-colored Elixir from his family's shop, he hurried back to his room to cultivate.
At the peak of the Eighth Layer of Body Refining Realm, Feng Wuchen could step into the Ninth Level at any moment.
Although the Feng family wasn't afraid of the Yang family, it was necessary to be prepared for any eventuality. Therefore, improving his own strength was the most important thing.
...
At Tianyan Academy, Zhenyuntian was treating Yang Tian's injuries. His leg injury was extremely severe, but fortunately, they got to him in time, and with Zhenyuntian's treatment, Yang Tian's leg was saved.
However, it would take at least several months, or even half a year, to recover, and how long it would take to fully heal was unknown.
"Feng Wuchen didn't hold back with his punches, but I didn't expect the kid to be so strong. Even the First Layer of Qi Refining Realm couldn't stand against him!" Zhenyuntian touched his snow-white beard and said with a light smile.
```
Xing Tianfeng couldn't deny it and nodded, saying, "Defeating a Qi Refining Realm First Layer while being at the Body Refining Realm Eightfold, this Feng Wuchen is truly extraordinary."
"Principal, the terms you offered Feng Wuchen just now, were they real?" Elder Su looked at Xing Tianfeng and asked.
Xing Tianfeng nodded slightly and said, "Feng Wuchen is indeed a rare talent. He's just a sixteen-year-old kid, but I can't see through him. The boy is extremely mysterious."
After a brief pause, Xing Tianfeng continued, "The conditions I offered are not without basis. Feng Wuchen's miraculous technique is even more remarkable. It doesn't require any True Qi or True Yuan power, and he can easily drive out poison. What if he can remove fire poison as well? Do you realize what that means?"
"Remove fire poison?" Upon hearing this, the faces of the three elders changed dramatically, showing utter shock.
The three elders clearly guessed something and knew what it implied.
Xing Tianfeng said with a smile, "Ever since I saw Feng Wuchen remove the cold poison for Elder Su, I've been wondering if he could also remove fire poison. If Feng Wuchen can even clear fire poison, then won't all the alchemists and artifact refiners on the Mainland seek him out? Not to mention those powerful alchemists and artifact refiners."
"Why didn't I ask him?" Elder Su said with a look of regret.
As a Fourth Rank Alchemist, Zhenyuntian knew exactly what this implied.
"If Feng Wuchen really can clear fire poison as well, then this kid is too terrifying. No wonder the Principal agreed to his requests without hesitation," Zhenyuntian said with furrowed brows, imagining those powerful alchemists and artifact refiners on the Mainland begging Feng Wuchen to remove their poison.
The more Zhenyuntian thought about it, the more shaken he became, daring not to imagine further.
Xing Tianfeng smiled and said, "Feng Wuchen himself knows what his abilities represent, which is why he doesn't intend to join our academy. He probably wants to go out and make a name for himself on the Mainland. This kid's ambition is not small; who would have thought that our Empire would produce such a fearsome talent."
"With such a miraculous technique, it's no wonder he doesn't need the terms offered by the Principal," Liu Changfeng said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
With such a miraculous technique at Feng Wuchen's disposal, what could he not obtain? The key was whether something could catch Feng Wuchen's interest.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Feng Wuchen had successfully advanced to the Ninth Level of the Body Refining Realm, with only one level away from the Qi Refining Realm.
With the breakthrough in his cultivation, Feng Wuchen felt his body's strength grow even stronger, once again astounded by the terror of the Supreme Dragon God Decision.
"With my current strength, even if I face Yang Tian head-on, I have the confidence to defeat him!" Feng Wuchen coldly smirked to himself, clenching his fist and feeling that robust power.
"I'm not far from reaching the Qi Refining Realm First Layer. Once I break through to the Qi Refining Realm, I can start cultivating martial techniques, which will make me even more powerful in combat," Feng Wuchen thought with joy, full of anticipation.
If others knew that Feng Wuchen had made another breakthrough, they would probably cry from shock.
While others struggled desperately to improve their cultivation and had difficulty even with the aid of Spiritual Liquid, Feng Wuchen kept making breakthroughs every few days as if it was nothing, completely indifferent to whether others could handle it.
Stretching lazily and getting off the bed, Feng Wuchen was just about to step out when he heard Ling Xiaoxiao's pleasant laughter outside.
"Brother Feng, come out quickly! Someone from Wanbao Pavilion has sent a message; there's an auction today."
"An auction?" Feng Wuchen was momentarily startled, then after opening the door, he asked, "What treasures will be there?"
Ling Xiaoxiao shook her little head and said, "I don't know, but Uncle Feng seemed excited, so it must be some good treasures."
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, "Let's go have a look."
"Brother Feng, have you made a breakthrough again?" Ling Xiaoxiao, clutching onto Feng Wuchen's arm, couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"You can tell that?" Feng Wuchen looked at Ling Xiaoxiao in surprise. Everyone else failed to notice, yet this little girl could see it.
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled cutely and didn't answer, perhaps she alone knew why she could discern Feng Wuchen's cultivation.
The auction at Wanbao Pavilion attracted many families from surrounding cities because ordinary treasures didn't need to be auctioned off, and only the truly precious ones were worthy of auction.
Today's Unmatched City was bustling as families from neighboring cities had come one after another, and an atmosphere of strong auras filled every street.
All four major families of Unmatched City had already headed to Wanbao Pavilion.
"Third brother! Third brother! Are you ready? Hurry up!" Feng Zhan's shouting voice came from the hall.
"Coming!" Feng Wuchen responded loudly.
Soon after, the Feng siblings and Ling Xiaoxiao set out together.
On the streets, all who saw the Feng brothers greeted them politely saying, "Young Master Feng!"
With the Feng family having produced the formidable Feng Wuchen, who wouldn't want to curry favor?
"Big brother, how's that hammer of mine? Has it been smelted out?" Feng Wuchen asked on the way to Wanbao Pavilion.
Feng Yuan laughed and said, "It's been smelted. Third brother, you really have a knack; it was actually Black Iron! Even father was taken aback! Just then, hearing about a medium-grade treasure sword at the auction, father rushed over immediately!"
