34: What on earth is going on in Chapter 34?

After finishing lunch.

Lin Feng returned to the Martial Arts Arena and began practicing Jidao Fist!

He scanned the area and noticed Ye Chen had also returned to his original spot, practicing his punches diligently.

While practicing, Lin Feng secretly pondered how to seize the earth spirit grass from Ye Chen!

After all, a single stalk of earth spirit grass was enough to save him a month of hard cultivation.

It was definitely worth the risk!

...

"Junior Brother Ye, didn't you say you came back this time specifically to advance your rank at the martial arts hall? Why are you still here practicing punches?" Wang Feng looked at Ye Chen and asked in confusion.

"Yes, I did come back this time to advance to the Spirit Gathering Realm. However, before breaking through, I need to bring my condition to its peak. That way, the success rate will be even higher," Ye Chen replied casually.

"Then when do you plan to advance?" Wang Feng asked again.

"Tonight, probably!" Ye Chen replied.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Junior Brother Ye!"

"Hehe, as long as you work hard enough, you can also advance to the Spirit Gathering Realm!" Ye Chen smiled triumphantly.

Hearing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

Damn it, is it really a matter of hard work?

I practice my punches just as hard as you do every single day!

Unfortunately, I only have a Medium Grade Root Bone. Even now, I haven't even touched the threshold of a Half-step Martial Artist.

Unlike you, who possesses a Heaven-Defying Top-tier Root Bone. You were stronger than others from the moment you were born!

Sigh, comparing oneself to others is truly infuriating!

Wang Feng said no more and simply began practicing Jidao Fist gloomily.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Through his efforts, Lin Feng finally ground the progress of his Jidao Fist to [80/4000 (Proficient)].

Just as he expected, the experience points gained from a day's cultivation were exactly eighty.

If he continued at this rate, it would take fifty days to successfully advance to the Late Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Therefore, Lin Feng decided to keep a close eye on Ye Chen from now on!

As long as he could successfully seize the earth spirit grass from his hands!

He could save himself a month of hard cultivation!

At this thought, Lin Feng couldn't help but cast a deep look at Ye Chen.

He saw that Ye Chen had already stopped practicing and was walking toward the living quarters.

Lin Feng also quickly leaped down from the Martial Arts Platform and followed from a distance.

Ye Chen's residence was not far from where Lin Feng lived.

There was only Senior Brother Fang Yi in between.

Once Ye Chen returned to his residence and closed the door...

Lin Feng immediately knocked on Senior Brother Fang Yi's door.

Knock, knock, knock...

Senior Brother Fang Yi quickly opened the door.

"Oh, it's you, Senior Brother Lin. Do you need something?" Senior Brother Fang Yi asked in confusion.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Just came to see you!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"I've been practicing all day and I'm covered in sweat. I was just about to go take a bath. Are you coming?" Senior Brother Fang Yi asked casually.

"Mm, maybe in a bit. I just got back and I'm a little tired. I'll rest for a moment first," Lin Feng replied.

"Alright, have a seat then. I'll pour you some water!" Senior Brother Fang Yi said as he picked up the kettle and poured a cup of herbal tea for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sat on the edge of the bed and took the teacup.

While drinking, he quietly released a wisp of spiritual power, probing through the wall toward Ye Chen's room next door.

He discovered that Ye Chen was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

"What on earth is Ye Chen up to? At a time like this, shouldn't he be taking out the earth spirit grass to refine and absorb it?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Lin Feng had originally planned that if he found Ye Chen refining the earth spirit grass, he would risk sneaking in through the back window, knock him out with lightning speed, and then snatch the grass.

After all, the earth spirit grass had nine leaves. Ye Chen could only refine and absorb them one by one; it was impossible to consume them all at once!

This way, he could seize the majority of it!

Although this move was very risky and there was a chance of being discovered by others in the martial arts hall...

But for the sake of seizing Ye Chen's Opportunity, Lin Feng decided to go for it!

At worst, if he was caught, he would just be severely reprimanded by the Hall Master.

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Lin..." Just then, Senior Brother Fang Yi's voice suddenly rang in Lin Feng's ear!

"Ah? What is it?" Lin Feng was startled and quickly snapped back to reality.

"I was talking to you just now. Why didn't you answer?" Senior Brother Fang Yi asked.

"Ah? What did you just say? I didn't hear you!" Lin Feng said hurriedly.

"I was asking if you've already brought your parents over?" Senior Brother Fang Yi rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I brought them over. They've already been settled in," Lin Feng nodded with a smile.

"Then when I have time, I'll have to buy some things and visit your parents!" Senior Brother Fang Yi said with a smile. "I want to see what kind of exceptional parents could raise a peerless Prodigy like you!"

"Uh... stop teasing me. How am I a peerless Prodigy? I'm just more hardworking than others," Lin Feng said with a laugh.

"Sigh, just keep stabbing me in the heart then!" Senior Brother Fang Yi rolled his eyes again.

"Alright, enough chatter. Let's go take a bath first!" Lin Feng stood up and walked toward the door.

It seemed that Ye Chen wouldn't be refining the earth spirit grass anytime soon.

He might as well take this Opportunity to have a bath.

Then, he would continue to closely monitor Ye Chen's every move.

Once he started refining it at night, Lin Feng would sneak in through the back window and seize it by force.

"Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll get my clothes ready," Senior Brother Fang Yi nodded.

Subsequently, Lin Feng and Senior Brother Fang Yi went to the Bathhouse together and began to bathe.

After the bath!

Lin Feng returned to his own residence!

He sat cross-legged on his bed, practicing the Breath Concealment Technique while quietly sending out a wisp of spiritual power to secretly monitor the movements in Ye Chen's room.

"Breath Concealment Technique +1"

"+1"

On the martial dao panel, the experience points for the Breath Concealment Technique were continuously increasing.

The reason Lin Feng was cultivating this technique so diligently...

...was because once it reached Perfection, it could even deceive experts of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Currently, he had only just started, and at most, he could only deceive a Middle Stage Core Condensation Realm Cultivator.

Fortunately, this technique was very simple to Cultivate.

The speed at which experience points increased was also extremely fast!

In less than five days, he could raise it to Perfection.

...

Time spent in cultivation always passed quickly!

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed!

At this moment, the martial arts hall was completely silent!

Almost all the Disciples had fallen asleep.

Shua...

Just then, Ye Chen, who had been fast asleep on the bed, suddenly snapped his eyes open!

Then, he rolled out of bed and finished getting dressed.

He softly opened his door and quietly walked toward the main gate of the martial arts hall.

"What on earth is this guy doing? Didn't he say he was going to break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm in the martial arts hall? Why is he heading out?"

Lin Feng, who was practicing the Breath Concealment Technique, also suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

He really couldn't understand what Ye Chen was doing running out in the middle of the night.

However, since Ye Chen was going out, he naturally had to follow!

No matter what, he couldn't let him out of his sight.

So Lin Feng quickly rolled out of bed, quietly left his room, and followed far behind Ye Chen.

He saw Ye Chen take out his Disciple Identity Token, open the martial arts hall's main gate, and then dart away toward the distance.

Once Ye Chen's figure vanished into the boundless night...

Lin Feng also left the martial arts hall and chased after him in the direction Ye Chen had gone.
