Zhao Ziming wore a bitter smile, "Brother, you don’t understand. Maybe when you have your true love, you will understand how I feel now, provided that you encounter the same situation as I have..."
Ye Feng nodded helplessly and then stretched out his right hand to pat Zhao Ziming on the shoulder.
Indeed, Ye Feng couldn’t understand. He just felt that if such a thing happened to him, he would unleash his fury, but he had never experienced such feelings himself.
Ye Feng hadn’t experienced deep love; at this moment, he and Lin Shiyu had mutual affection for each other and could feel the sweet love between them.
However, Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu hadn’t elevated to the level of true marital love yet. If that were to happen, and if Ye Feng were to be betrayed as well, perhaps he could understand and comprehend Zhao Ziming’s feelings at this time.
Ye Feng looked at Zhao Ziming and asked, "What are your plans now?"
"Ye Feng, can you teach me Martial Arts? I want to become a Martial Artist!" Zhao Ziming looked at Ye Feng seriously.
Zhao Ziming said, "Today, I realized my own weakness and powerlessness. The woman who betrayed me flaunted another man in front of me, and I was utterly helpless. It was at that moment I realized my own incompetence. I don’t want such a thing to happen again; I don’t want to be so helpless anymore. Ye Feng, please teach me Martial Arts!"
"No problem!" Ye Feng agreed without a moment’s hesitation.
In fact, Ye Feng had long noticed that Zhao Ziming had a talent for Martial Arts, and over the years he had been studying at Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall. His physical condition was far superior to that of ordinary people, making it quite simple for him to become an External Force Martial Artist.
Ye Feng was just waiting for Zhao Ziming to ask; once one steps into the Martial Arts path, one is no longer ordinary and must leave behind the worry-free life of common folk.
"Let’s go. Tonight, we’ll practice together. Zhao Ziming, I’ll teach you how to cultivate Martial Arts. Zheng Yonggang, I’ll help you reach the Grandmaster realm," Ye Feng said calmly.
"What! Grandmaster?" Zheng Yonggang was stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
"Mr. Ye, are you serious? Can you really help me reach the Grandmaster realm?" Zheng Yonggang’s heartbeat quickened as he looked at Ye Feng, his excitement barely containable.
Ye Feng said indifferently, "Do you think I’m joking with you?"
Zheng Yonggang excitedly responded, "Of course not, Mr. Ye would never joke. Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Feng also realized that Zheng Yonggang’s strength was unmatched in most second-tier cities, where the strongest were only at Great Perfection of Inner Strength. Yet in Longdu, there were many Grandmasters.
Zheng Yonggang’s strength indeed wasn’t keeping up with the demands; if he were a Grandmaster today, there would be no need for Ye Feng to make a move. After all, having a follower by one’s side is meant to handle matters that don’t require one’s own intervention.
Ye Feng said indifferently, "Zheng Yonggang, take us to a spacious place where we won’t be disturbed to practice."
Zheng Yonggang nodded, "Mr. Ye, I have a solo villa on the mountain top in the South Suburb. It’s unoccupied, and we can practice there without disturbances."
"Yes, let’s go!" Ye Feng nodded, and the three of them then left together.
On the way, Ye Feng made a phone call to Lin Shiyu, telling her he wouldn’t return that night. Although Lin Shiyu didn’t say much, Ye Feng could sense the dissatisfaction in her tone.
It didn’t take long for them to arrive at Zheng Yonggang’s villa.
Zheng Yonggang’s hilltop villa spanned over six hundred square meters. Although located in the distant South Suburb away from the city center, it wasn’t too expensive; it could be bought for twenty million yuan.
After arriving at the villa, Ye Feng, Zheng Yonggang, and Zhao Ziming went to the garden.
Suddenly, Ye Feng took out two vials of Spiritual Liquid, leaving Zhao Ziming and Zheng Yonggang puzzled, not knowing where Ye Feng had procured them.
Ye Feng looked at Zheng Yonggang and asked, "Old Zheng, do you know how a Martial Artist at Great Perfection of Inner Strength can breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm?"
Zheng Yonggang answered, "Martial Artists with Inner Strength possess Inner Strength, Grandmasters possess True Essence. The transition from Inner Strength to Grandmaster involves converting Inner Strength to True Essence. Once True Essence is obtained, both physical strength and combat ability leap qualitatively. To become a Grandmaster, one needs to refine all Inner Strength into True Essence!"
Ye Feng nodded, "Exactly, that’s it. However, converting Inner Strength to True Essence may sound simple, but it has eluded countless people. Among ten thousand Martial Artists, only a few manage to achieve it."
With that, Ye Feng handed over the Spiritual Liquid to Zheng Yonggang, "Drink this, and if you’re not terribly foolish, you should reach the Grandmaster realm by tomorrow," Ye Feng stated plainly.
"What!" Zheng Yonggang was astounded. Just one night to reach the Grandmaster realm?
At forty-eight, Zheng Yonggang was a Martial Artist at Great Perfection of Inner Strength, but only twenty percent of his Inner Strength had converted to True Essence. He estimated that under normal circumstances, it would take him another ten years, at fifty-eight, to become a Grandmaster.
But Ye Feng was saying that drinking what he held could achieve it overnight?
"Mr. Ye... I want to ask, what exactly is in this vial?" Zheng Yonggang inquired.
"Spiritual Liquid," Ye Feng replied simply.
"Spiritual Liquid!" Zheng Yonggang exclaimed in shock, unable to fathom.
He was well aware of what Spiritual Liquid represented; it was what countless Martial Artists longed for—a Supreme Treasure that not only healed injuries but also greatly enhanced a Martial Artist’s cultivation. Its effect was even more significant than that of Spirit Stones, most importantly because Spiritual Liquid was impurity-free and easily absorbed by the body.
"What is Spiritual Liquid?" Zhao Ziming looked puzzled, and Zheng Yonggang explained, "It’s a Supreme Treasure that all Martial Artists dream of for cultivation. It can speed up the cultivation process. Even ordinary people who drink it can greatly enhance their bodies. These two vials, if sold in the Martial Arts World, might be worth over a billion, not just that, they are priceless commodities!"
