154: Chapter 154 Eighty-seven Unrevealed Cultivation Techniques
Lin Feng smiled and pointed at himself.
"You should know my Superpower is of the Lightning type," he said confidently. "Don't let it fool you that I act as a firefighter from time to time, going everywhere to provide support."
"But as long as I want to, within one minute, I can appear anywhere within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Xu Yan nodded; he naturally knew about Lin Feng's Superpower.
But to appear anywhere in the Dragon Kingdom in one minute—isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
Doesn't this mean that Lin Feng's speed is already approaching, or even rivaling, the speed of light?
Seemingly having guessed what Xu Yan was thinking, Lin Feng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Wait for it."
Then, his entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished instantly.
Xu Yan smiled helplessly; he had already guessed what Lin Feng wanted to do.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, a flash of lightning streaked by, and Lin Feng's figure appeared right after.
"The speed is too fast; ordinary things simply can't withstand it," Lin Feng said, shaking his wristwatch. "So I just took a photo to let you see for yourself."
A projection shot out from his wristwatch.
On it was a selfie of Lin Feng standing on top of a building.
Xu Yan recognized it; this was their former university, located in Qin Province.
Now, Xu Yan truly believed him.
Their university was in the capital of Qin Province, which was at least eight or nine hundred kilometers away from The Central Hub.
And Lin Feng, in less than a minute, had made a round trip!
This speed... Xu Yan felt inferior.
Although his Agility attribute was now as high as 7 points, he couldn't manage a round trip from Qin Province to The Central Hub in one minute.
His current limit speed could probably only reach the speed of sound.
But compared to Lin Feng, it was still far behind.
"Monster!" Xu Yan cursed under his breath.
Lin Feng wasn't deaf; he was, after all, a Tier 3 Martial Artist about to break through to Tier 4, so he had at least that much hearing.
He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Me, a monster? Even if I am a monster, it's because of my Superpower advantage."
"You're the real monster!"
Lin Feng grumbled as he led the way, "In less than a month, you've completed the journey that takes others years."
"And now you've created a technique that can directly enhance physical body and Mental Power."
"When it comes to being a monster, who can compare to you?"
"I think only those two monsters, Su Yue and Ji Wangshu, can compare to you."
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He knew Ji Wangshu; she was that S-Rank Esper, the Dream Illusionist, who guarded the southern secret realm all by herself.
He had later learned about her achieving S-Rank in half a year.
But Su Yue had only created a "Moon Shadow Sword Canon," so that shouldn't count as being a monster, right?
"I can understand Ji Wangshu, but Su Yue, she only created a 'Moon Shadow Sword Canon,' so why does she count as a monster too?"
"That's true, this matter hasn't been confirmed yet, so it's normal that you don't know."
Lin Feng glanced at Xu Yan and teased, "Just a few days before you arrived at The Central Hub, Su Yue uploaded another new technique to the research institute."
"It's just that the dao deduction stele needs time for deduction, so it's currently uncertain whether the new technique she created can be cultivated to Tier 5."
"The most important thing is..."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused, seemingly wanting to see Xu Yan's reaction.
But to his disappointment, there was no expression on Xu Yan's face; he was neither surprised nor taken aback.
It was as if he didn't care about it at all.
Lin Feng curled his lip and continued, "The most important thing is that, some time ago, rumors started circulating from who knows where, saying that Su Yue had already comprehended 'Artistic Conception' and has a high probability of breaking through to a Tier 5 Martial Artist."
"Of course, Su Yue hasn't personally admitted to this."
Xu Yan understood; she hadn't personally admitted it, but she hadn't denied it either.
At the same time, he also realized why Lin Feng had specifically mentioned Su Yue when he first met him.
Shaking his head, Xu Yan didn't dwell on this topic.
Whether Su Yue was a Tier 5 Martial Artist or not didn't matter to him.
Lin Feng also stopped there and didn't say anything more.
The two arrived at the office where Lin Feng was located. After sitting down one after another, Xu Yan took out the boundary stone and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush. After putting away the boundary stone, he said to Xu Yan, "We are different from The Purifiers; gathering the resources you need will still take some time."
"It just so happens that during this time, you can play around in The Central Hub for a few days. Once the resources are ready, I'll have them delivered to you along with your technique rewards."
Xu Yan nodded. He wasn't afraid that Lin Feng or the Supernatural Management Bureau would embezzle his resources.
Not to mention his relationship with Lin Feng.
Even just considering Xu Yan's own strength, there was no need to offend a powerhouse over these few resources.
It wasn't worth it.
After sitting for a while longer, Lin Feng took Xu Yan to get a rough tour of the Supernatural Management Bureau headquarters, and then it was time for dinner.
The two left the Supernatural Management Bureau headquarters together.
"Let's go, let's go directly to my place," Lin Feng said, pulling Xu Yan along. "It just so happens I have nothing to do today."
"There's no time like the present; let's drink until we drop today!"
Although he said that, after understanding the responsibilities Lin Feng had to shoulder, Xu Yan just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
If this made Lin Feng drunk, and something really happened that required his support, wouldn't that just ruin everything?
He couldn't afford that responsibility.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, for everything you gain, you have to pay a corresponding price."
At the very least, Lin Feng could no longer have a carefree, drunken night like in the past.
Arriving at Lin Feng's home, after simply drinking some "Immortal Brew" which Lin Feng claimed could make even Martial Artists drunk, Xu Yan settled down at Lin Feng's place.
For one, it was already night.
Although the nights in The Central Hub were even livelier than the days in some places, Xu Yan didn't have the inclination for that.
Secondly, the techniques Elder Li had sent him had arrived.
Xu Yan wanted to see if these techniques could really farm attributes for him.
There were many techniques; Xu Yan took a rough look, and there were a full eighty-seven of them!
Rolling Stone Fist, Layered Wave Force, Cicada Song Sword Art, Withered Wood Meets Spring Technique...
The names were all sorts of strange, especially that "Withered Wood Meets Spring Technique"; he didn't know who had created it.
Not only was the name improper, but the cultivation method was also improper.
Xu Yan opened a random technique to look at it and found that these techniques were about the same as the Wuji Technique and the Five Mountains World-Suppressing Art.
They all used a basic fist technique, leg technique, or blade technique as an introduction.
Then, they were paired with corresponding breathing and inhalation methods to absorb spiritual energy and refine it into true qi.
However, among these techniques, there were more or less some annotations.
For example, "True qi circulation is sluggish; long-term inhalation not only fails to strengthen the body but also damages the foundation."
Or for example, "According to the deduction of the dao deduction stele, this technique can reach the peak of Tier 2 at most, and cannot break through."
There were also, "Cultivating this technique prevents the comprehension of 'Artistic Conception'," "Requires specific environmental conditions, cultivation requirements are harsh," and so on.
The problems in the annotations were bizarre and varied; there was everything.
But for Xu Yan, these were not problems.
What he needed was not whether these techniques could be successfully practiced, whether they could condense "Artistic Conception," or break through to Tier 5.
What he needed was simply for these techniques to be recorded by his Attribute Panel.
