104: Chapter 104 Breakthrough in Qi Refining, the Grand Competition Begins!

Qin Feng's voice was low and powerful, like metal clashing against stone, echoing in the secret room.

Who could have imagined the bitterness of transmigrating to another world with a System only to be left struggling in the Servant District for years?

A man should have ambitions that span the world, treading over mountains of corpses and seas of blood to pursue the long, arduous path of immortality.

Then, he said with unquestionable authority: "The Outer Sect, I must go. If I shrink back in the shallows just because I fear starting over, that is not my true intent."

"What I want is not to lord over the Servant District, but to step onto the true Peak of the vast world of cultivation."

"I will make all the heaven-favored women tremble, make all the prodigies of the world submit at my feet, and cause all the sons of heaven to wail in sorrow!!!"

This declaration, arrogant to the extreme, made Yang Liu's eardrums ring, leaving her completely stunned.

Looking at the man before her who seemed capable of swallowing heaven and earth, the little schemes in her heart were instantly shattered.

Indeed, how could a mere shallow pond contain a true Dragon like this man?!

"However..."

Qin Feng's Aura receded slightly. He turned around, his gaze softening as he looked at the woman sitting dumbfounded on the bed.

He instructed: "This trip to the Outer Sect will surely be dangerous. Therefore, none of you are allowed to participate in this year's Servant Grand Competition."

"Ah? Not participate?" Yang Liu was taken aback.

"That's right."

Qin Feng walked to the bedside, reached out from above, and stroked her beautiful hair.

He said firmly: "Your strength is too weak. If you go to the Outer Sect, you won't be able to help; instead, you will become cannon fodder for others. Just stay here peacefully and guard the base of District 666 for me."

"Once I have established a firm foothold in the Outer Sect and swept away all the so-called trouble, I will naturally return to personally bring you up to enjoy a good life."

Hearing this promise, filled with dominance and responsibility, Yang Liu's eyes instantly turned red.

In the cannibalistic world of cultivation, how lucky it was to meet a man willing to pave the way for you and promise to return to fetch you!

"Mm!"

Yang Liu nodded heavily, like a docile kitten, gently rubbing her cheek against Qin Feng's palm, her eyes filled with devoted longing: "Liu'er will obey your arrangements, Husband, and will definitely guard this home well for you."

Seeing Yang Liu's obedient appearance, a flash of playfulness crossed the depths of Qin Feng's eyes.

He suddenly leaned down, moved close to her crystal-clear earlobe, lowered his voice, and instructed with a straight face:

"Not only must you guard the home. When I am away, remember, you must arrange for more people in the fields and plant more large white radishes..."

"Large white radishes?"

Yang Liu was completely baffled by this sudden change in logic, her beautiful face full of astonishment.

She blinked her peach-blossom eyes and asked suspiciously: "Why plant those common vegetables? Our Management Hall is currently not lacking in Spiritual Qi rice or Spiritual Qi fruits. If you want to eat them, Liu'er will make them for you every day..."

"It's not for me to eat, it's for you to eat."

Qin Feng grinned and gave a gentle squeeze to her slender waist, which could be encircled by a single hand.

"Ah—!?"

Yang Liu was stunned for half a second.

Then, with a "whoosh," her already flushed cheeks instantly turned red enough to drip blood, and even her long swan-like neck was stained with a layer of shy indignation.

"Hahaha..."

Watching the usually majestic female manager reveal such a coy, girlish posture, Qin Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

His laughter ceased, his expression instantly turning serious and cold, a flash of decisive, swift action in his eyes.

He stood up straight and ordered in a deep voice: "The Grand Competition is imminent. I need to enter seclusion immediately to Cultivate and charge towards a higher Realm! You go outside the door and act as my Protector. Anyone who dares to approach the secret room by even half a step—kill without mercy!"

"Yes! Rest assured, Husband. Even if the sky falls, Liu'er will not let anyone disturb you."

Seeing that Qin Feng had serious business to attend to, Yang Liu quickly put on her clothes, gave a solemn salute, and then hurried out of the secret room, shutting the heavy stone door with a "bang."

...

The secret room fell into absolute silence once again.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the cold cushion, adjusted his breathing, and instantly raised his spirit and energy to their Peak state.

"Success or failure depends on this one move."

His eyes narrowed, his palm flipped, and the Qi Refining Medicinal Pill, emitting an alluring, exotic fragrance, appeared in his palm again.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the Qi Refining Medicinal Pill directly into his mouth and swallowed it with a "gulp."

"Boom—!!!"

The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his abdomen, it did not erupt violently like the previous pure yang golden body pill, but instead transformed into a massive, surging river of Spiritual Qi that was pure to the extreme.

The Spiritual Qi was gentle yet continuous, rushing straight down his throat into his Dantian Qi Sea.

"Refine for me!"

Qin Feng roared inwardly, pushing the Chaos Art to its limit.

In an instant, the Heavenly Tyrant Body's monstrous devouring ability was fully activated.

The Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world seemed to be drawn by some terrifying force, even forming a small vortex of Spiritual Qi within the secret room, crazily drilling into his body through every pore.

Inside his body, the residual medicinal power of the pure yang golden body pill, which had previously been dormant in various Meridians and not fully absorbed, was now completely activated by this massive surge of Spiritual Qi.

Two streams of energy, one gold and one cyan, crazily intertwined and merged within his Meridians!

"Break!!!"

It is unknown how much time had passed, but when the True Essence accumulated in his body reached a critical point, Qin Feng suddenly let out a roar like a trapped beast breaking free.

"Boom—!!!"

Accompanied by a clear boom from within his body, like breaking porcelain!

The invisible barrier of the Second Level of Qi Refining that had been hindering his progress instantly disintegrated under the impact of the mighty True Essence!

A terrifying Aura, several times stronger than before, erupted from his body.

"Hoo..."

After a long while, Qin Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air mixed with gray Impurities, and the purple-gold light on his skin gradually receded into his body.

He opened his eyes abruptly—Second Level of Qi Refining, achieved!

Feeling the vast ocean of True Essence within his body, and the terrifying power that seemed capable of crushing the air with every movement after the Heavenly Tyrant Body's transformation, a satisfied, wild laugh curled at the corners of Qin Feng's mouth.

"I am terrifyingly strong right now."

Just as Qin Feng clenched his fists, feeling the intoxicating power.

Suddenly—

"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong—"

A dull, distant, yet Soul-shakingly penetrating huge bell sound rang out without warning from the direction of the Hehuan Sect's Outer Sect main Peak!

This bell rang continuously, tolling a full nine times.

Each toll of the bell seemed to strike at the depths of the Soul of every Disciple in the Servant District, announcing the beginning of a turning point in fate.

Qin Feng stood up abruptly, his deep black eyes gazing toward the direction outside the secret room door, Battle Intent burning in his eyes.

The bell for the Servant Grand Competition had already rung!
