At 7:05 a.m., Chen Feng woke up.
Opening his eyes, he felt a slight regret.
Though it was nearly a thousand meters away,
intuition told him that the golden speck in the villa was definitely a unique orb.
It was either a Skill or a Talent.
"Too bad the distance is too far, otherwise I would know what kind of orb it is..."
Shaking his head, Chen Feng also thought of the Stone Statue Creature.
Incredibly powerful, on the same level as the Giant Fierce Bear.
Even from a great distance, he could vaguely sense that its aura was several times stronger than that of his own master.
At the very least, he was sure he was no match for it.
Thinking of this, he got up and pulled open the curtains, looking out into the sky.
Overcast and cloudy, gray had replaced the usual azure vastness.
The hum of the concrete buildings rose, and there was some activity in the fruit shop below the residential complex.
The roadside noodle shop was doing well, with quite a few people sitting on the wooden tables to the left and right.
With a profound gaze, Chen Feng made up his mind to enter the Dream Realm tonight to see if there was a chance to obtain that orb.
The Stone Statue Creature was indeed strong, but he would still need to give it a try.
Subsequently, after washing up and tidying,
he quickly returned to the bedroom, took a cyan porcelain bottle from the bedside, removed the cork, and poured out a round Elixir.
The Flame Origin Pill was chewed and swallowed, and he stood firm, visualizing the Red Tiger.
The scorching power of the medicine spread inside him, Power circulating, constantly absorbing and growing stronger.
[Red Tiger Strength: Fiery Flame (72%) +]
Chen Feng glanced at the Breakthrough portion on the panel.
The haul from this Dream Realm was only three Breakthroughs, and together with the previous ones, there were five in total.
Not enough for the Red Tiger Strength to Breakthrough.
Suppressing that sense of urgency, he promptly changed into a set of clean, loose black clothing and put on a black coat, leaving the complex.
"Hello, Senior Brother!"
"Good morning, Senior Brother!"
Walking into the Jinhua District’s Sub Martial Arts Hall, a stream of warm and respectful greetings rang out.
Chen Feng nodded gently in response, and then saw Lin Hao hurrying behind him, almost late.
He asked inquisitively, remembering that Lin usually arrived quite early.
"Sigh, don’t even mention it."
"The modification module they sent last night almost got lost, kept me up for most of the night."
Lin Hao said with some dark circles under his eyes, to which Chen Feng felt a bit surprised.
"Recently, the United Council and Utopia have been fighting non-stop, forces from all sides are being pulled away, and some people by the city checkpoints have gotten greedy, trying to take advantage in troubled waters."
Lin Hao still carried a black baseball bag and wore a gray athletic outfit.
"But luckily, I know some people, and smoothed it all over."
"Your friend’s Advanced Metal has also arrived; remember to pick it up at the club tonight."
Chen Feng fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"If you need help, just say the word."
He sincerely stated, both wanting to repay Lin Hao’s favor and not wanting the Advanced Metal he needed to get lost, delaying the progress of his Steel Bone Talent.
Lin Hao replied with a smile: "But rest assured, my security company is almost set up, and the connections of the club members are somewhat useful."
"Basically, there shouldn’t be a problem."
With a nod, Chen Feng also knew that if Lin really faced an issue, he would have asked for help.
After a brief chat, he watched Lin go to the practice room, then waited on the spot until Cao Tong appeared.
"Brother Cao, same as usual, please help me gather a few people."
The practice of the Copper Statue Technique required the cooperation of striking, which was also the reason for his continued attendance at the Martial Arts Hall.
As for returning to the Mountain Gate?
There were club matters to deal with here, especially since only Lin Hao could help him with the Advanced Metal. It would be too troublesome to frequently travel back and forth.
"No problem, I’ll arrange it right away."
Cao Tong said with a smile, and Chen Feng suddenly thought about Zhao Tingxiao.
If that guy were also in the Martial Arts Hall, it would be great.
"By the way, Chen, you’ll probably be coming to the Martial Arts Hall these days, right?"
Cao Tong suddenly asked, causing Chen Feng to be puzzled.
"Sigh, it’s nothing big."
Cao Tong scratched his head, explaining: "With the Southern Martial Arts Tournament starting soon, it’s customary for some disciples of various schools to come down from their mountains to walk around and seek Sparring for their training."
"In the past, each Sub Martial Arts Hall would have a True Disciple standing by to avoid damaging its reputation, but now we have you here..."
Before he could finish, Chen Feng understood the implication.
With the Martial Arts Tournament approaching, there were some who wanted last-minute training or Sparring opportunities for Breakthroughs.
According to Cao Tong, those who dared to come for Sparring were not weak, at the least on the level of Internal Training, and sometimes even Entering Strength experts would appear.
The rule was for opponents to be of the same level; losing once or twice was fine, but continuous defeat would definitely impact the Martial Arts Hall’s reputation.
He nodded in agreement and did not shy away.
Since he was the personal disciple and Senior Brother of the Flame Tiger Sect, he should shoulder this responsibility.
Besides, his master and the Third Uncle and others had nothing but good to say about him.
"Heh heh, then that’s good."
"With Chen sitting in, our Sub Martial Arts Hall will definitely be stable."
Cao Tong laughed, praising him with a big grin, admiration clearly growing in his eyes.
Although the details of the Blood Poison Hand being killed were kept confidential within the Mountain Gate, he had still heard about the other’s Entering Strength.
After a brief exchange, Chen Feng immediately entered his own Quiet Room.
The wooden cap of the White Jade Porcelain Bottle was removed, and another Strengthening Muscle and Bone Pill was poured into his hand.
Seven pills in a bottle, and this was the fifth.
Immediately thereafter, it was chewed and swallowed.
