57: Late stage of Wang Wu realm

As Liu Cheng's words fell, the entire inn instantly became silent.

A moment later, everyone came back to their senses and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"What? This young man is actually a Marquis of a Dynasty!"

"I know who he is. Didn't the Dynasty issue an edict a while ago? It was about the Marquis of Peerless Glory."

"This Marquis of Peerless Glory is the Ling Family Patriarch of Qingyun Town. His talent is extraordinary; he broke through to the Heaven Martial Realm before the age of twenty, which is why the Dynasty bestowed upon him the title of Marquis."

"So it's the Marquis of Peerless Glory. No wonder he dared to kill the guards of Huangyun Inn and can still sit here leisurely drinking tea."

"To reach the Heaven Martial Realm at such a young age shows his Cultivation talent. Moreover, he has such a strong Martial Artist willing to follow him. This Marquis of Peerless Glory is definitely not simple."

At this moment, discussions in the inn were ceaseless. People from other Dynasty forces also learned the identity of this young man, and their curiosity about him grew even more.

Ling Feng looked at Liu Cheng, who was respectfully bowing to him. He thought, 'If others show me an inch of respect, I will return a yard.' He then got up, helped Liu Cheng to his feet, and slowly said,

"Manager, please rise."

Seeing this, Liu Cheng immediately apologized to Ling Feng after getting up.

"Marquis, the people of the inn were ignorant and offended you, causing you trouble. I hope you, as a great man, will not stoop to their level and hold it against them. As for that snobbish guard who tarnished the reputation of my Huangyun Inn, he deserved to die. It's fine that he was killed."

"I should even thank you, Marquis, for helping to clean out such a scoundrel."

Ling Feng was not only a Genius whom even the imperial family wanted to win over, but he also had extensive business dealings with the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild. Liu Cheng was merely a small manager of this Huangyun Inn, so he clearly understood the priorities. Thus, Liu Cheng adopted an extremely humble attitude.

"Manager, there's no need for this. It's just a small matter."

Seeing this, Ling Feng responded with a smile.

Then he spoke again to Liu Cheng.

"Manager, I do have something I need to trouble you with."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately said,

"Marquis, please speak freely."

"I came here for the Flying Cloud Commerce Guild's annual auction. I originally intended to stay at this Huangyun Inn, but I didn't expect such an incident to occur. I'll have to trouble the Manager to arrange my accommodation."

Seeing this, Ling Feng was not polite and spoke directly.

"Marquis, rest assured, this is simple. Would you like me to show you to your room now?"

Hearing this, Liu Cheng quickly and decisively responded.

"No need. I imagine the Manager is busy with affairs these days, so I won't trouble you. Just have a servant lead the way for us."

When Ling Feng heard that Liu Cheng wanted to personally lead them to the room, he immediately waved his hand and slowly said.

Hearing this, Liu Cheng no longer wasted words. Although he had repeatedly shown goodwill, Ling Feng still had the intention to keep his distance. Liu Cheng still had that much discernment.

Liu Cheng then instructed a nearby servant to lead Ling Feng and his companion directly towards the rooms upstairs.

At the same time.

At this moment, the Third Manager, Sun Yun, was in agony. After learning Ling Feng's identity, he was completely stunned.

When he first arrived, he had noticed something unusual: after killing a guard at the inn's entrance, the young man dared to swagger into the inn, looking calm and composed.

However, his only remaining trace of rationality was ultimately overshadowed by anger, leading him to make an impulsive decision.

Now, thinking back, it was fortunate that the Head Manager arrived in time. Otherwise, how could he and his men have been a match? They would probably have been decapitated in an instant.

Thinking of this, Sun Yun suddenly felt a chill of fear rush through his head.

He then wanted to step forward and personally apologize to Ling Feng and the others, but as soon as he made a move, Liu Cheng stopped him.

Seeing Sun Yun's action, Liu Cheng knew what he wanted to do, but Ling Feng was unwilling to say much to him at this moment, let alone to Sun Yun.

In this situation, the best approach was to first appease Ling Feng and the others, and then find an opportunity to apologize to Ling Feng. That would be the best choice... Under the guidance of the Huangyun Inn servant, Ling Feng quickly arrived at an extremely luxurious room.

Many forces are coming to this auction. My current Cultivation might not be enough to cope. To be safe, it's better to improve my Cultivation.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng immediately instructed Ling Di.

"Ling Di, be my Protector."

"Yes, Patriarch."

Afterward, Ling Feng directly took out an Elementary Law Comprehension Card and a Cultivation Enhancement Card from the System space.

Then, in his Sea of Consciousness, he instructed the System.

"System, use the Elementary Law Comprehension Card and the Cultivation Enhancement Card, and simultaneously block any unusual phenomena caused by my Cultivation."

"Understood, Host."

As the System's prompt fell, Ling Feng instantly felt an extremely pure spiritual energy flowing continuously around his body.

Seeing this, Ling Feng did not dare to be careless. He quickly activated the Chaos Divine Art to refine this pure spiritual energy for his own use.

At the same time.

Wave after wave of incomparably profound and abstruse Law power continuously spread wildly into Ling Feng's Sea of Consciousness. As mysterious and incomparable Law power condensed, Ling Feng's comprehension of Law also became deeper and deeper.

As time passed, Ling Feng's Cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, also began to surge rapidly, and the speed of its ascent was terrifyingly fast.

"Heaven Martial Realm Perfection."

"King Warrior Realm Early Stage."

"King Warrior Realm Middle Stage."

"King Warrior Realm Late Stage."

...Two days later.

Ling Feng gradually awoke from his Cultivation, slowly opened his eyes, his face full of joy.

He hadn't expected this Cultivation Enhancement Card to actually boost his strength all the way to the King Warrior Realm Late Stage.

Moreover, with the use of the Law Comprehension Card, he even comprehended a trace of Law power, though he had not yet comprehended his unique Law power.

One must know that Law power is a necessary force to comprehend for future advancement to the Zongwu Realm. Only by comprehending one's unique Law power is it possible to successfully Breakthrough to the Zongwu Realm; otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to become a Zongwu Realm Martial Artist.

However, Law power is not something one can comprehend just by wanting to. Law power is too profound and metaphysical to be taught; one can only comprehend it oneself.

Now, he was only in the King Warrior Realm but had successfully comprehended a trace of Law power, which was simply Heaven-Defying...
