Understanding showed on their faces.
On the same day...
The high level of the sect immediately sent out men to secure Zhao Tianjian’s family, including Zhao Yijian.
Zhao Yijian didn’t know what happened, but they did find some proof within the family linking them to the Qiu family. Finally, the truth was found. The high levels of the sect finally realized their unfair treatment of Zhao Feng. Usually, they wouldn’t really care, but now it was different. Zhao Feng had been selected by Guanjun Palace and he had an unlimited future, his future determined the Zhao family’s future.
Therefore, the sect leader ordered Elder Zhao to go and comfort Zhao Feng.
“Hahahaha…it feels so good to see the expressions on their faces.” Elder Zhao didn’t feel sympathetic for them at all, and instead he was quite happy.
“Oh yes, the high levels have decided to open the third floor of the Martial Arts Library for you.” He brought out another piece of news.
Third floor of the Martial Arts Library? A smile appeared on Zhao Feng’s face. This result was within his expectations.
On the second day, three elders including Elder Zhao came to the third floor. The third floor was an extremely mysterious place. One elder alone couldn’t open it. The sect had its rules, that three elders must agree simultaneously to open it. A dark green stone door was the path to the third floor.
The stone door hummed as if a certain mechanism had been opened, and the door swung wide. Zhao Feng immediately stepped in and found himself in a stone room. On the walls, there were weird pictures carved. Some were moving, while some places were blurred. Under the combined power of the three Martial Masters, the pictures seemed to come alive.
Flowing Wind Stance! Tornado Stance! Partial Wind Stance! Burning Wind Stance…
Every picture had a different stance to it, but due to their age, the pictures weren’t very clear. Zhao Feng felt that even with the power of three Martial Masters, it wasn’t enough to fully activate the pictures.
“The series of pictures combine to form a complete Holy martial art, but the wall is kind of blurry and there isn’t enough power to fully activate it.” Zhao Feng’s left eye quickly scanned over the pictures.
“Zhao Feng, we can only sustain this for thirty more breaths. If you can gain anything from it, it’s all up to you.” Elder Zhao’s voice sounded from outside.
Zhao Feng’s heart clenched.
Immediately, he pushed his left eye to the limit and went into enhanced-vision mode. Under its power, the pictures on the stone walls became clearer.
“Copy!” Zhao Feng spat out a word and one of the pictures was absorbed into the dimension in his left eye.
Chapter 63 – Victorious Return
A picture appeared in the dimension of his left eye. He had copied the picture into his mind and although it wasn’t a complete Holy martial art, it still surpassed peak ranked martial arts.
Flowing Wind Stance!
Zhao Feng saw the name under the picture. This move was the exact same one that Zhao Linlong used before, but Linlong had only just touched the edges of it. Soon, the second picture appeared in his mind. The scenery of the second picture was more complex than the first one.
The second stance, Tornado!
Zhao Feng successfully copied the picture into his mind. but felt fatigue wash over him. The more complex the thing he copied, the more mental energy it would rake.
The third stance, Partial Wind Stance!
Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and forcefully took the picture into his mind. This one was even more complex than the one before and at this time, he felt even more tired.
Cold sweat came out from Zhao Feng’s forehead, with his remaining energy, it was obvious that he couldn’t copy the fourth picture.
He took a deep breath and closed in his eyes. He then circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique to recover. Outside the room, the three elders could only sustain the room for thirty breaths, and the time was decreasing as each moment passed.
Ten breaths…fifteen breaths… twenty breaths…
The time he had was reaching its limit.
Twenty-five breaths…twenty-six breaths…twenty-seven breaths…
Zhao Feng’s breathing became faster and faster. Right now, the fatigue started to fade away.
At the last two breaths...
Burning Wind Slice!
Zhao Feng’s left eye suddenly opened and a faint green light appeared on his eye as he forcefully copied the fourth picture.
The next instant, he felt his consciousness overrun by a wall of fire. The chaotic burning wind seemed to destroy anything and everything in its path.
“Is this power within the limits of cultivators?”
Zhao Feng felt his mouth turn dry, and it was as if all the water in his body had evaporated. But in reality, he hadn’t been injured in any way, it was just an illusion.
The fourth picture was taken into his left eye.
Zhao Feng tiredly fell down on his bum. At almost the exact same time, the three elders outside took back their Inner Strength.
The pictures on the wall once again stopped moving. It seemed like they were just ordinary pictures.
“How much insight did you gain?” the three elders outside asked.
Zhao Feng flinched, he actually didn’t gain any insights from the third floor yet.
“It’s alright. These pictures are pretty blurry and most of the geniuses that have been inside have gained almost nothing,” Elder Zhao comforted him.
They didn’t feel anything weird when Zhao Feng didn’t gain any insights.
“Yes, even if you did, the little amount you gained is still not better than a peak ranked martial art,” one of the other elders nodded their head in agreement.
The third floor was never opened for two reasons: One, it needed the power of three elders at once and they could only sustain it for thirty breaths. Second, the Holy martial art was just too blurry and the insights gained were just too small.
Thirty breaths was just too short for anyone to fully gain anything.
“Thank you, elders, for your effort.” Zhao Feng didn’t seem disappointed at all.
Yes, it was true he didn’t gain anything within the thirty breaths, but he had copied all four pictures into his mind.
Zhao Feng closed his eyes and first focused on recovering his mental energy. Then, when his mental energy reached its peak state, he started to examine the four partial Holy martial art skills.
The four weren’t complete Holy martial arts, as they had parts missing and they were blurry. But even then, Zhao Feng felt that these skills weren’t that hard.
The first and second stances were easier than his Mysterious Wind Palm and the third stance was on par with it.
The fourth stance contained a will to destroy everything. Even though it was incomplete, it had still exceeded the limits of the human body…
Sometime later...
Zhao Feng let out a long breath and shook his head. He was only able to fully comprehend the first move, Flowing Wind Stance, but full comprehension of this skill didn’t have much of an effect on his overall strength, it wasn’t even as good as learning a peak ranked martial art.
This was because the first move, Flowing Wind Stance, was a support skill, not an offensive or defensive skill.
Because of this, Zhao Feng didn’t dwell on it that much. Although he had a feeling that these four skills might not be of use to him now, they would be in the future.
On the morning of the second day, Zhao Feng, along with his parents, went back to Green Leaf Village.
In another two days, he would leave Sun Feather City and go to the Guanjun Province City thousands of miles away.
“In the blink of an eye, I’ve been at the main branch for almost a year.”
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but remember that he was only a cultivator of the first rank when he entered. In one year of tim
e, he had increased by leaps and bounds and reached the sixth rank.
“With your cultivation and age, nothing in Green Leaf Village can stop you.” His father, Zhao Tianyang, said.
His parents were both very proud of their son. The branch sect leader was Zhao Kayuan, an old man who had reached the fourth rank. Apart from him, the strongest villagers were of the third rank.
When they received news of Zhao Feng’s return, the head of the family personally came out to greet him. Back then, Zhao Feng was also the top genius of Green Leaf Village. Now, he had returned like a hero.
Soon, they walked into the branch sect’s pavilion. This building was nowhere near close to what the main sect’s building was. It had tattered holes in it everywhere due to its age.
“Feng’er, your achievements today far exceed my expectation,” Zhao Kayuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
In just a short one year’s time, Zhao Feng had reached the fifth rank and he was the strongest in the branch sect. This was something that no one expected. Usually, the youths recommended by the branch sect were sent back. Truthfully, the elders of the branch sect didn’t put too much hope in them.
Zhao Feng was slightly stunned when he learned the truth. The elders of Green Leaf Village had never even thought about him becoming one of the geniuses at the main sect, they had even made preparations for him being sent back.
Just as the people were speaking, screams and shouts came from outside the main gate.
Zhao Feng’s brow furrowed and the conversation in the room stopped.
“Sect head, the Liu family's men have come for trouble again!” A few youths who had faces full of bruises came rushing in.
“Ridiculous!” The head of the family, Zhao Kayuan, stood up.
“Liu family?” Light flashed in Zhao Feng’s eyes.
He was born in Green Leaf Village, and so he was familiar with the Liu family. For the past couple of generations, the Liu family had quickly risen and expanded in strength, and they had become the biggest faction within Green Leaf Village.
Although Green Leaf Village couldn’t be compared to Sun Feather City, the Liu were still a force to be reckoned with. Zhao Feng remembered that there had been rumors of two to three cultivators of the fifth rank at the Liu family.
“For the past year the Liu family had taken the properties of many families, and now they want to buy the mine of ours for only three thousand pieces of silver,” Zhao Kayuan said, full of rage.
“Hehe, the Liu family does have guts!” Zhao Feng laughed coldly, then went outside.
“Feng’er, don’t rush. The Liu family now have a cultivator of the sixth rank…” The sect leader immediately tried to stop him. Zhao Feng was strong, but he was only one person. How could he fight the Liu family?
The Liu family alone had tens of Martial Artists. Two had reached the fifth and now one had reached the sixth!
Angry Dragon Fist!
Outside the gate Zhao Feng punched one of the cultivators from the Liu family.
“This guy’s a fifth rank. Every attack together!” the leader exclaimed. The bunch immediately pounced towards Zhao Feng.
“Quick! Support Feng’er!” Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Kayuan both exclaimed.
The situation turned into chaos.
“Let me fight alone," Zhao Feng shouted from the crowd.
His leg immediately sent many cultivators of the Liu family flying. Zhao Feng faced the crowd of people alone. Anyone that came within range of him received broken limbs in return.
Zhao Feng soon turned into a blur and knocked down the leader.
“Ahhh…”
“Young master! Please forgive us!”
The group had all been defeated by one person. Amidst the scream and dust, that figure seemed so handsome and tall.
“Hahaha…”
The people from the Zhao branch sect finally let out their laughter. Zhao Feng shook his head; these people were just too weak.
“That Liu family will definitely come for revenge. Shouldn’t we go fortify our defenses first?” Zhao Kayuan seemed disturbed.
The Liu family was after all the strongest faction in Green Leaf Village, and it was ten times stronger than the Zhao branch family.
Zhao Feng coldly said, “Why do we need to defend? Why don’t we just go to them?”
Chapter 64 – Who is the Hunter?
“Why should we defend? We should go and kill them all.” Zhao Feng’s words shocked the others.
Attack the Liu family?
Zhao Kayuan was full of fear. “Nonono! The Liu family is the god of Green Leaf Village…”
In their minds, the Liu family was unbeatable. All they could do was defend. As for taking the offensive, they didn’t dare to think about it unless they thought their lives were too long.
“Leave this to me.”
Zhao Feng left an afterimage where he stood. The next instant, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared in a few breaths.
Zhao Kayuan and Zhao Tianyang felt uneasy. How could a youth beat the Liu family?
“Follow him!” the two shouted from inside the room. However, no one in Green Leaf Village could catch up to Zhao Feng. Even Zhao Kayuan’s speed was less than half of his.
Outside, Zhao Feng circulated Lightly Floating Ferry and leapt between the trees. His feet barely touched the ground as he ran. His Lightly Floating Ferry had reached the high level. But when he used this skill, Zhao Feng could also use Flowing Wind Stance with it.
Flowing Wind Stance was the easiest move out of the four incomplete Holy martial arts. At this moment, when he used Flowing Wind Stance and Lightly Floating Ferry together, his figure became swifter and more agile as if he was the wind itself.
Zhao Feng felt his body become lighter and the leaps he made become smoother.
In another instant, his speed once again increased.
A blur came and went at an unbelievable speed. Zhao Feng couldn’t contain his happiness, this Flowing Wind Stance had such a wonderful effect. It could be seen that Zhao Linlong had gone off the right track when he mistaken it for an offensive skill.
“Elder, a genius from the Zhao family came and injured our brothers," a cultivator of the Liu family said hurriedly.
“Hm? The measly Zhao family dares to hurt our people?” A portly middle aged man sat within the room.
While he was speaking, he even drank slowly from his tea cup. He was the king of Green Leaf Village and all those who dared to challenge them for the past few years had all disappeared. A faction like the Zhao family was just an ant in the Liu family’s eyes. If not for the main Zhao sect, the Liu family would have already been rid of them.
“Elder you’ve got to help us. They’re not putting you in their eyes at all," the fighters of the Liu family cried.
“Tell the Zhao family that we’ll give the them one day to hand over that youth or else,” the voice that emanated from the fat man was cold.
“Yes yes.” The expressions of the Liu family’s fighters turned joyous.
“Not good! The youth of the Zhao family has come!” Just at that moment, screams erupted outside.
A blur came into the mansion of the Liu family and no one could stop even one of its moves.
“Sect leader! Sect leader! The youth has already come inside the mansion and injured ten to twenty people!”
Chaos broke out in the mansion.
Within the lounge of the Liu family, the head of the family, Liu Guirong, sat with two elders and the sixth rank.
“That guy’s speed is just too fast,” one elder as skinny as a branch said.
“When did the Zhao family have such a talented youth?” The portly elder's expression was solemn.
With their fifth rank cultivation, they couldn’t even see how he moved. It was good that at this moment, the mansion turned calm as the youth didn’t appear anymore.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the head of the sect, who had the highest cultivati
on. Liu Guirong’s hair was white, but he still had a composed face. “In terms of speed, I’m not faster than him.”
Hearts clenched. After all, Liu Guirong’s cultivation had reached the sixth rank half a year ago and he became the strongest person in Green Leaf Village.
What could they do? The Liu family felt that this was pretty troublesome.
“Obviously, if he faced me head on, I’m certain I can win.” Only the sect leader was composed.
“Hmph! If that brat dares come here, I’ll make sure he can’t return," everyone shouted.
At this moment, eighty percent of the high levels were present and the strength of them could crush any force within Green Leaf Village.
If that youth from the Zhao family came…this was the plan that Liu Guirong set up.
“Haha, you’re all together. That’s the best! You save me the trouble of finding you all," a childish laugh came from the roof.
The expressions of all the cultivators present changed. When did he reach the roof?
The roof trembled as a youth ripped a hole in it and landed in the middle of the room.
The person was Zhao Feng. His landing point was the exact middle of the room, which meant he was surrounded.
“Hahaha…thanks for coming!” The portly elder roared with joy.
Smiles appeared on the Liu Guirong’s and the skinny elder's faces. The other six cultivators of the fourth rank were full of excitement as well.
“You’re indeed excellent, but just a bit young.”
Liu Guirong had his 'I will win' face on. If Zhao Feng didn’t come out directly, they couldn’t do anything to him because he was too fast. But now…Zhao Feng had given up that advantage and faced them directly.
At this moment, they were looking at Zhao Feng with 'you are a retard' faces on. Zhao Feng immediately understood what was happening.
“It looks like you haven’t understood who’s the hunter and who’s the hunted,” Zhao Feng smiled.
