Chapter 3 Deadly Strike
Once outside the alley, it was bustling with activity.
"Huang Zheng, that kid likes to drink and dine at brothels, he'll probably go to Cuiyanlou."
Chen Feng pondered, then slowly moved forward, following his memories.
Turning a corner, he saw a group of several people, all of whom he knew. A thought struck him, and he quickly walked over: "Brother Tiger, are you on a mission?"
"Chen Feng, are you all better?" Wang Hu, a tall and burly man, stopped to greet him.
"Alright, it's all over now." Chen Feng scratched his head, his expression slightly somber.
"It's good that you're alright. Let me know if anything happens in the future." Wang Hu lowered his voice and said, "That kid Huang Zheng from the Wolf Gang is hosting a banquet at Qianbeifang and has gathered a bunch of people. We're just keeping an eye on him because we're afraid he'll get drunk and cause trouble for our gang."
"Brother Tiger, you guys get busy, don't let it interfere with the important business!"
"good!"
Wang Hu left with his men.
"Thousand Cups Pavilion!"
Chen Feng continued walking slowly, but he circled around and saw a stall selling roasted chestnuts. He felt in his pocket that he had some loose change, so he bought a bag.
They ate as they walked.
He soon arrived near Qianbeifang and saw Wang Hu and the others huddled in the alley across the street. Instead of going over, he hid in the shadows and followed their gaze to the second floor.
Huang Zheng was standing, seemingly with one foot on a stool, as he raised his glass and drank heartily.
He was already blushing, but he remained incredibly generous, which drew cheers from the crowd.
You can also see one of the hanging lanterns swaying slightly.
Chen Feng's gaze sharpened, and the lantern suddenly fell, its light dimming.
whoosh...
Just then, a sewing needle whistled past and pierced Huang Zheng's left ear.
His body stiffened, then went limp and slumped onto the table.
He seemed to be asleep, as if drunk.
"I'm so decisive!"
Chen Feng turned and left, his fingers trembling slightly as he held the chestnut.
The sewing needle didn't return; instead, it remained in Huang Zheng's mind.
"It must have been influenced by 'Chen Feng' in this world, otherwise I wouldn't have been so decisive, I would have hesitated for a while."
When Chen Feng returned to Willow Street, he saw Jiang Xiaoguo standing at the entrance of Green Willow Alley, looking around anxiously. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him and rushed over.
"Brother, where did you go? Didn't you say you were just walking around this alley? I looked for you for ages, I thought... I thought... It scared me to death!" Jiang Xiaoguo pulled him back, her eyes reddening. "If something happens to you, what... what will I do then!"
"I'm just taking a walk on the street to get some fresh air, it'll be fine," Chen Feng quickly reassured him. "Besides, I'm your brother, I'll take care of you from now on."
"Brother, just focus on getting better. I'll take care of you and this family," Jiang Xiaoguo insisted. "From now on, things will definitely get better and better for us."
"Yes, it will definitely get better and better. Xiao Guo, try the chestnuts I bought, they taste good."
"Brother, you eat!"
Jiang Xiaoguo took it, peeled the first one, and immediately put it in front of his mouth.
The two soon returned home.
The flickering candlelight dispelled the darkness.
Jiang Xiaoguo busied herself again, brewing him a bowl of ginseng tea and placing it aside, and also fetching a basin of water to prepare for washing his feet.
"Xiao Guo, let me do it," Chen Feng quickly stopped her.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Guo asked, confused.
"I'm all better now, I can do it myself." Chen Feng helped her up. "Besides, you're a grown woman now."
"Brother, do you not want Xiaoguo anymore?" Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes reddened again.
hiss……
Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
Night was falling.
Jiang Xiaoguo went back to her room to cultivate.
He also lay down on the bed.
Chen Feng sensed himself again.
Within the dantian, there is a hidden flow of energy—that is true qi.
"The power system here is called Qi cultivation, which is divided into acquired, innate, grandmaster, great grandmaster, and so on."
Chen Feng sensed it and sorted through the information in his memory.
In the initial stage of martial arts, one tempers the body, cultivates internal strength, and enters the acquired realm after opening the dantian.
The next step is divided into four stages: nourishing qi, clearing the meridians, opening the channels, and circulating qi throughout the body.
When the dantian opens, internal energy is formed, nurturing and strengthening true energy, then opening the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, finally connecting the Ren and Du meridians, forming a great circulation of the cosmic orbit.
This is the order of cultivation after birth.
Despite his weak constitution, Chen's father still tried every means to help him cultivate internal strength, open his dantian, and enter the early stage of the acquired realm.
Due to his physical condition, his cultivation progressed very slowly, and at the age of eighteen, he still had not opened his meridians.
He's the worst of the worst.
"I wonder how effective my cultivation is right now?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but be moved.
He got up, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
The contents of the Gentle Water Kung Fu began to flow in his heart. This was a gentle exercise that his father had specially found for him, and the true energy cultivated from it had the effect of nourishing the body.
As the exercise was practiced, strands of true energy were generated.
My body felt warm and cozy.
"True Qi is truly amazing, but the effects of its cultivation are somewhat unbelievable."
Chen Feng was shocked.
His current cultivation effect is more than a hundred times stronger than his 'previous self'.
"I wonder if I can be considered a genius in martial arts now?"
Chen Feng suppressed the thought.
He estimated the time; he had been here for about four or five hours, and about half an hour had passed since Blue Star arrived. He knew he couldn't stay any longer.
After all, Chen Bei, Lan Xing's younger brother, was in his bedroom at home.
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat as he watched his body fade and disappear.
Under the candlelight, the dust in the room seemed to freeze in an instant.
Blue Star, at home.
Chen Feng appeared on the bed silently, still lying down.
Listening to him, Chen Bei's breathing was steady; he was still asleep.
Sensing the changes within himself, his body was no different from that in the Great Qian World, except that he hadn't brought his clothes from there, and he was still wearing the shorts he wore when he went to sleep on Blue Star.
It's amazing.
"not good!"
The next moment, Chen Feng noticed that the true energy in his body began to dissipate.
No, it has been integrated into the body.
Chen Feng tried to stop him, but found he couldn't.
Soon, his faint true energy disappeared without a trace, but he felt his physique had strengthened slightly.
"The dissipation of true energy is due to the different world? Fortunately, it didn't disappear directly, but rather strengthened the physique."
Chen Feng was relieved to find that his dantian had not shrunk.
This situation is equivalent to excessive consumption of true energy, not a true dissipation of power. One can restore one's cultivation level simply by practicing.
He also received a message from the unseen: based on his current physical condition, he could only descend into the Great Qian World three days later.
"Based on physical condition, a three-day cooldown period? What happens after that?"
Chen Feng was puzzled, but didn't think much of it.
He picked up his watch and checked the time; it was already 3 a.m.
I'm just too excited to fall asleep.
But she still closed her eyes and eventually drifted off to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already 5:30.
"Xiao Bei, get up!" Chen Feng patted the top bunk and quickly got up.
"Okay, bro!" Chen Bei muttered as he sat up.
Chen Feng went into the bathroom, washed up, and then patted the door next door.
A little while later, the younger sister Chen Nan came out. She and Chen Bei were twins and looked very alike.
She is two years younger than him.
"Good morning, brother!"
"Hurry up and brush your teeth so you can go practice your skills."
"Okay!"
Chen Feng didn't wait for them; he took the lead and walked out of his house to practice his skills on the riverbank next to the community.
