Chapter 745: Magic Bracelet Upgrade
When Shao Huo held the detection report in his hands once again, he felt complete despair!
The report clearly indicated positive!
Finally, he came to realize that the beauty in the private room that night was nothing but a trap set by someone else.
How could there be such a good thing in the world, a beauty throwing herself at someone for no reason? It was all just an empty dream.
Schooled in the deceptions of the Martial Arts World, Shao Huo finally came to a sober realization.
Rising quickly by clinging to Lin Zifeng’s coattails, and then falling just as fast, it was like a fleeting dream within a brief period.
Just like when Shao Huo initially burnt down the Bai family martial arts gym, slaughtering the young and old.
This was nothing but retribution.
Looking up at the sky, Shao Huo burst out into mad laughter and tore the detection report into clean pieces.
Since childhood, he had always been bullied, and it was not easy for him to climb to a position of power so quickly with Lin Zifeng’s help, inflating his ambition to the point where even he was scared of it.
Especially when he burnt down the Bai family martial arts gym, in Shao Huo’s heart, he thought that as long as he was ruthless enough, bad enough.
This world would be his own.
Ha, it’s good to be confident, but arrogant is simply courting death!
Since the Martial Arts Society had been summoned by Black Hawk for training in remote areas, combined with the death of Hua Baijian, Lin Zifeng was incredibly busy during this time.
It was not until Yan Qingcheng called to tell him that Shao Huo had been missing for nearly a month that he realized Shao Huo and his Youth Association were gone.
Even Nan Tian, the little thief taken in by Shao Huo, had been slaughtered by the Star Society.
After finding Shao Huo, the Martial Arts Alliance quickly took charge of treating his illness. Although they could not prevent the deadly infection from consuming him, the virus itself was chronic. Even if infected, the incubation period was ten years. With the backing of the Empire, the Martial Arts Alliance could use the most advanced medical treatments to alleviate his condition for the time being.
According to intel from the Martial Arts Alliance, one of the three major Sects in Zhonghai’s East District, the Star Society, had been making bold moves, challenging the establishments of Zhang Yuxuan and her sisters several times after eliminating their rivals, the Bai family martial arts gym, and the Youth Association.
It seems the real major power was not the conspicuously sharp-edged Bai family martial arts gym, nor the youthful and impetuous Youth Association.
It was the Star Society, which was almost forgotten by the powers of the East District!
With the three-way balance of power gone and both the Youth Association and Bai family martial arts gym wiped out, the Star Society feared no other force. If they took down the Butterfly Gang, they would become the true hegemon of the East District.
In the evening, just as Lin Zifeng was getting ready to visit the Butterfly Gang, he was stopped by Liu Tangtang.
"Uncle, where are you going?"
Liu Tangtang asked, pouting her lips.
"Just out for a walk," said Lin Zifeng, feeling embarrassed.
It had been nearly a month, spending every day at home comforting Huahua with them. This was not a solution either.
"No way! Just when Flower Boss is finally feeling a bit better, are you seriously going out so soon?"
"But... her mood has improved a lot, hasn’t it?" Lin Zifeng was at a loss for words.
"No means no. You can’t go out tonight."
"But I have something important to do."
"Is there anything more important than Flower Boss?" Liu Tangtang insisted as she wrapped her arms around Lin Zifeng’s arm, refusing to let him go at any cost.
Suddenly, Lin Zifeng thought of Lin Chuqing. Why was there such a big difference between girls?
It seemed he really could not leave tonight; given the strength of Zhang Yuxuan and her sister, the Butterfly Gang should be fine.
With this thought, Lin Zifeng could only nod and agree with her.
After days of comfort, Huahua’s mood had indeed improved a lot compared to how she had been feeling before.
However, the direction of emotions was just slightly off.
That night, Nangong Bing did not come back, leaving Lin Zifeng to watch TV at home with the two princesses.
Well, just watching it.
Both girls insisted on watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, which made Lin Zifeng, who already disliked watching cartoons, doze off countless times on the sofa.
So he left them alone and had just pushed open the door to his room.
Suddenly, the Magic Bracelet on his wrist flashed without warning!!!
Lin Zifeng instantly scanned the entire room with sharp eyes, yet found no sign of danger.
"Am I overthinking it?"
Lin Zifeng quickly shut the door, took out the Magic Bracelet, and to his astonishment, discovered that the bracelet was emitting a faint golden glow!
Lin Zifeng was shocked.
Just as he was about to put the bracelet down to examine it closely, it began to feel warmer, and a steady stream of power slowly infiltrated his arm, eventually flowing into every inch of his body.
The vital energy inside him became even more vigorous.
Suddenly, a startling thought flashed through Lin Zifeng’s mind.
Could it be that he had broken through from the Vital Energy Realm to the Expelling Realm?
In order to understand the abilities the Magic Bracelet bestowed upon him,
Lin Zifeng quickly gathered all the vital energy in his body into his fists, casually picked up a broom, channeling all the energy into it, and then propelled the broom forward in an attack.
The golden vital energy enveloped the broomstick like a thin mist of gold.
Lin Zifeng roared, launching the broom wrapped in the robust vital energy.
To Lin Zifeng’s disappointment, although he could expel objects, damn it, he could only propel them less than two meters—a rookie among rookies when facing real masters of the Expelling Realm.
It would probably be embarrassing to even talk about it.
At this moment, the glowing Magic Bracelet once again lost its anomaly and became as ordinary as ever.
Lin Zifeng hurriedly checked and it seemed that he had indeed surged from the Vital Energy Realm straight to the Expelling Realm!
This was a huge change!
The old man who taught him Ancient Martial Tai Chi had said,
The Vital Energy Realm is just the most basic level of martial arts; one is only considered a respectable martial artist upon reaching the Expelling Realm.
It looks like in front of those true martial arts masters, he still seems as weak as a chick.
Thinking this, the man’s sharp eyes shone with an intensely fierce light.
He needed to become stronger!
He needed to grow powerful!
Given his current situation, if he didn’t become stronger quickly, he had a premonition that the road ahead would not be as smooth as he had imagined.
During this period, Fang Yizheng almost came every night to teach Lin Zifeng Ancient Martial Tai Chi.
With Fang Yizheng not holding back and Lin Zifeng being very studious, in less than a month, he had essentially mastered this ancient heritage of martial arts. Combined with his own robust vital energy, the effects were indeed beyond imagination.
