93: Chapter 93 My words are the proof! Three Flowers Gather at the Top, Intent Enhances the Body

Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but it clearly spread throughout the entire hall.

A vice commander with a goat beard and sinister eyes stepped out, bowing with a fake smile.

"Reporting to Commander Lin, the three Gold Rank Demon Slayers and thirty-three Silver Rank Demon Slayers of the Nanzhou Demon Suppression Division are all here. Your subordinate, Liu Mang, humbly serves as one of the three vice commanders."

"Very good."

Lin Feng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd in the hall, "Since everyone is here, let's hold a meeting. I am new here and would like to hear everyone's views on the work of slaying demons and eliminating evil in Nanzhou."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those in the hall varied. A glimmer of triumph flashed in the eyes of the vice commander, Liu Mang.

He wanted Lin Feng to hold a meeting!

Once this opening was made, they could use the complex situation in Nanzhou and various unwritten rules.

To sideline this young commander and turn him into a Puppet in name only.

"Ahem..."

Liu Mang cleared his throat and was the first to step out, "Commander, you are unaware. Our Nanzhou has a special situation. Not only are demons rampant here, but there are also various powerful clans entrenched here, and the forces are intertwined. Many things cannot be solved just by fighting and killing; it is all about human relationships and worldly wisdom."

Someone behind him immediately chimed in:

"That's right, Vice Commander Liu is correct! The Wang family, Li family, and Zhang family are all great clans with a Legacy of hundreds of years. When our Demon Suppression Division handles cases, we must give them some face."

"Besides, the demons in Nanzhou are very cunning and often collude with local forces, so moving one part affects the whole. Commander, you have just arrived and are not familiar with the situation. In my opinion, it would be better to spend three to five months with us accompanying you to familiarize yourself with the relationships of all parties before discussing the matter of slaying demons and eliminating evil."

You say a word, I say a word, the central idea was just one.

Don't be a meddling kid, just be a mascot, we will manage the power for you.

Lin Feng listened quietly, a warm smile always hanging on his face.

Classic, too classic.

A new leader takes office and naturally wants to light three fires, but the subordinates prepare a basin of cold water for him.

It's local protectionism, seniority, and human relationships...

Unfortunately, their workplace PUA is useless against Lin Feng.

Because he didn't come to reason.

After everyone finished speaking, the hall fell silent, and all eyes focused on Lin Feng, waiting to see how he would handle this situation.

Lin Feng's smile suddenly faded.

He slowly stood up, and a terrifying pressure, like an invisible ancient divine mountain, crashed down!

Peak Divine Sea Realm!

That solid, vast aura instantly enveloped the entire hall!

Thud!

Thud!

The thirty-six Demon Slayers guarding the region, including the three vice commanders of the Divine Sea Realm, were all pressed to their knees by this pressure!

The three vice commanders bore the brunt of it; their faces turned pale, their bones rattled, and their eyes were filled with extreme horror and disbelief!

Peak Divine Sea Realm?!

This... how is this possible?!

Didn't intelligence say he had just entered the Divine Sea Realm?!

Even if there was a Breakthrough, how could he reach such a terrifying Realm in such a short time?!

"Have you all finished speaking?"

Lin Feng's voice became icy, and he walked down the steps step by step.

"Let me say a few words."

He walked up to Liu Mang, who was already scared out of his wits, reached out, and gently patted his face.

"First, in the Nanzhou Demon Suppression Division, I am the biggest human relationship, and I am the only worldly wisdom."

"Second, I don't care about the Wang family or the Li family. In my eyes, there are only two types of people: obedient living people and disobedient dead people. Whoever dares to collude with demons and whoever dares to hinder the Demon Suppression Division from handling cases, I will send them to be the second type."

"Third..."

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade.

"I smell a faint but disgusting Demonic Qi on you. Vice Commander Liu, shouldn't you explain to me if you communicated a bit too deeply with some fox demon last night?"

Liu Mang's pupils shrank, and the blood drained from his face.

"You... you are slandering me!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lin Feng smiled.

"In Qingzhou, perhaps I would still need evidence."

"But in Nanzhou."

He slowly raised his hand, pointing like a blade.

"My words are evidence!"

Before the words fell, a black-red blade light flashed and disappeared!

Splat!

Liu Mang's head, filled with horror and unwillingness, flew into the sky, rolled in the air several times, and landed heavily on the ground.

Blood stained the hall red.

Dead silence.

The entire hall was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard.

Lin Feng withdrew his hand, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

His cold gaze swept over the remaining two vice commanders, who were shivering like chaff, and the officials kneeling on the ground.

"Now, does anyone else have any opinions on my work policy?"

"..."

The answer to him was deathly silence and the increasingly violent trembling of the crowd.

"Very good, it seems we have reached a consensus."

Lin Feng turned and walked back to his main seat, sat down again, and said lightly: "Clean this place up."

Breaking the deadlock with violence is always so simple and effective.

...

The headless corpse of Vice Commander Liu Mang was quickly dragged away, and the shocking pool of blood was quickly cleaned up, but the smell of blood lingering in the air and the chill that penetrated the bones could not dissipate for a long time.

The remaining two vice commanders and a group of officials now looked at Lin Feng with no more contempt, only pure fear.

This new commander is not a dragon crossing the river, but a sky-devouring beast!

He doesn't follow the rules, doesn't play mind games, he...

Is the rule itself!

"You two, come here."

Lin Feng beckoned to the remaining two vice commanders.

The two trembled all over, crawled to the hall, and knelt down respectfully: "What are the Commander's orders?"

"From today on, one of you will be in charge of personnel, and the other will be in charge of logistics. Within half a day, I want to see the personnel roster, case files, treasury inventory of the Nanzhou Demon Suppression Division, and..."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, "The highest-level fundamental Cultivation Technique, Martial Skill, and demonic cultivation methods of this division. Any questions?"

"No... no questions! Your subordinate obeys!"

The two felt as if they had been granted amnesty, kowtowed, and scrambled away to do their work.

The efficiency was unprecedentedly high.

Less than an hour later, Lin Feng's study was piled with various files.

"Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique".

The name is quite straightforward, but I don't know the effect.

Lin Feng opened the Secret Manual and studied it carefully.

This Cultivation Technique is not a combat Martial Skill, but a pure internal Mind-Cultivation Technique.

Its core Concept is to refine and sublimate the three treasures of "Essence, Qi, and Spirit" within the Martial Artist, and finally gather three illusory flowers on top of the head at the Heavenly Gate.

Once the Three Flowers are gathered, it means the Martial Artist has officially stepped into a brand-new Realm.

Gathered Crown Realm!

At this Realm, the Martial Artist will no longer be limited to the strength of True Qi, but will begin to touch the fur of the Laws of heaven and earth, able to comprehend and initially control the so-called Concept.

Sword has Sword Intent.

Saber has Saber Intent.

Fist has Fist Intent.

Concept is a power that transcends Moves and is more Origin-based.

"So that's it. I previously relied on the 500x critical hit multiplier to evolve that Hell illusion using the Blade of Myriad Phenomena, which was actually a rudiment of Saber Intent forcibly catalyzed. No wonder the power was so perverted, directly acting on the Divine Soul."

Lin Feng suddenly realized, and his heart was burning.

If I can normally master Concept, doesn't that mean every Move can carry a similar effect?

Then a 1000x critical hit.

Let alone the Gathered Crown Realm, even the Martial Soul Realm would be beaten to a pulp by me!

"System, upgrade this 'Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique'."

[Ding! Target Cultivation Technique 'Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique' detected. critical hit points required for Beginner + Entry: 5,000,000 points!]

Lin Feng glanced at his attribute panel.

[critical hit multiplier: 1100x]

[critical hit points: 7,170,000 points]

Fortunately, on the way to Nanzhou, I slashed some demons, otherwise I wouldn't be able to spend money so readily.

"System, 'Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique', Entry!"

[Ding! Consumed 5,000,000 critical hit points, 'Three Flowers Gathering Atop Technique' critical hit successful!]

Boom!

A feeling different from any previous upgrade erupted in Lin Feng's body.

There were no earth-shattering visions, no violent energy flows.

Those five million critical hit points turned into a warm and mysterious warm current, instantly merging into his limbs, bones, Dantian Qi Sea, and Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul.

Lin Feng only felt that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were infinitely purified, compressed, and sublimated at this moment!

In his Dantian Qi Sea, the True Qi ocean began to rotate, forming a huge vortex in the center, and finally condensed into a cyan lotus symbolizing Qi.

In his limbs and bones, the Essence of life Origin was tempered out and condensed into a red lotus symbolizing Essence.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the vast power of the Divine Soul gathered, turning into a golden lotus symbolizing Spirit.

The three lotuses swayed, then turned into three streams of light, moving upwards along his central Meridians, rushing straight to the Heavenly Spirit!

Finally, above his head, three illusory lotuses slowly emerged, arranged in a triangle, reflecting each other, extremely mysterious!

Three Flowers Gathering Atop, Gathering Peak achieved!

He slowly opened his eyes, and the whole world became completely different in his perception.

He could see the trajectory of the wind, hear the rhythm of light, and feel the "emotions" of various energies drifting in the air.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the first level of the Gathered Crown Realm!]

[Ding! You have stepped into a new Realm and successfully comprehended the power of Concept!]

[Ding! The various Martial Skills cultivated by the host have automatically comprehended the corresponding Concept at the moment of Breakthrough!]

A series of System prompts rang in Lin Feng's mind.

Are there any high-level ones?!

[Basic Constable Saber Technique has reached Perfection, comprehended Deterrence Concept]: The saber technique comes with official majesty, which can have the effect of deterring the mind when dealing with petty people.

[critical hit multiplier: 1100x]

[critical hit points: 2,170,000 points]

Feeling the new power in his body, as well as the qualitative change in various Martial Skills and Movement Techniques, Lin Feng's mouth was almost crooked with a smile.

"Hahaha! Awesome! So awesome!"

"I used to struggle with whether to use critical hit points to upgrade Cultivation Techniques or improve Martial Skills. Now it's good, one step in place, all Martial Skills collectively upgraded!"

"From now on, improving Martial Skills can also fuse Concepts, so there is no need to worry about high-level eliminating low-level, causing waste of resources."

"Even if a slash doesn't kill with a critical hit, the attached Concept debuff can make the enemy cry!"
