37: Lin Feng's extra opportunities

"This martial technique is called Nine-Layer Wave!

Wave upon wave, the first layer can unleash double the power of a martial artist's normal palm technique. Each subsequent layer doubles it again, reaching up to nine times the power at its peak."

The entire audience broke into an uproar!

Shock!

Stupefaction!

What did nine times the power mean? It meant the ability to fight across ranks.

A Fourth-Rank Martial Artist could unleash the strength of a fifth-rank.

Of course, it certainly couldn't compare to a true fifth-rank, but it was more than enough to serve as a life-saving trump card.

"Ten million!" the patriarch of a small family immediately shouted.

It was clear he wanted to take a gamble.

Even if there was no chance of winning the technique, he wanted to be the first one to call out a price.

"20 million!" Zhao Huai, the young master of the Zhao Family, shouted casually.

By doubling the price, he wanted to use his financial advantage to suppress those who were hoping for a lucky break.

The audience quieted down for a moment.

"Although the martial technique is strong, cultivation is ultimately about one's realm. The difficulty of practicing it to the ninth layer is probably immense.

Otherwise, I don't believe a Grandmaster would give up this technique," a Third-Rank Martial Artist analyzed.

His analysis was very logical and convinced many people present.

Consequently, the small families chose to give up one by one.

There were still some first-tier corporate bosses and family patriarchs from Donghai who wanted to take a shot.

If they lost, it was just some money; if they won, they might ascend to a higher social stratum.

Zhao Huai looked around and smiled. "Everyone, please show the Zhao Family some face.

Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the Zhao Family."

Instantly, everyone except Lin Feng dropped their intentions to compete.

It wasn't worth offending the Zhao Family for a cultivation method of unknown circumstances.

The Zhao Family's ruthlessness was the most famous among the Three Great Families.

Moreover, the Zhao Family had lingering ties with the underworld, making them the most difficult to provoke among the three families.

The Su Family was merely wealthy, and the Yue Family had strength, but the pride of martial artists meant they wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics.

But the Zhao Family was different.

Just as Zhao Huai was feeling smug about securing a good martial technique while facing everyone's timid expressions...

Lin Feng raised his sign. "50 million!"

Boom!

The entire audience burst into discussion.

Aside from the price more than doubling, what shocked them more was that this youth actually dared to contend with Zhao Huai.

Zhao Huai also looked at Lin Feng in surprise.

In the entire Donghai, who among the younger generation did he fear besides Ling Xian and Yue Cailan?

"Fine, this is interesting. And who might you be?" Zhao Huai asked, trying to fish for information.

He was always like this; when he met someone who offended him, he wouldn't show his ruthlessness on the surface, but he would investigate them thoroughly once he returned and strike back later.

"Young Master Zhao, this person is an honored guest of mine, Su Wenyuan. He is not someone your Zhao Family can afford to provoke." Uncle Su slowly stood up, his aura as a tycoon finally suppressing the young master Zhao Huai.

"Head of the Su Family, since he is your friend, then I shall yield this martial technique to you." Zhao Huai stood up, preparing to leave.

"Then I thank Young Master Zhao. Give my regards to Old Ghost Zhao for me. Has that little ailment of his improved?" Uncle Su said with a mocking smile.

It was clear that the situation in Donghai was a bit chaotic, and the Three Great Families each had their own troubles.

"Uncle Su must be joking; my father's health is quite good." After Zhao Huai finished speaking, he didn't wish to stay any longer and left immediately.

Uncle Su let out a breath, inwardly cursing Lin Feng for being a spendthrift.

He could have saved so much money if he had just let him reveal his identity earlier, but he just had to jump in and bid 50 million.

Thus, the Nine-Layer Wave smoothly fell into Lin Feng's hands.

If Ling Xian were to see this, he would also marvel at Lin Feng's incredible ability to recover his fortunes.

"Little friend Lin, if there's anything else you need, you can talk to my Su Family." Uncle Su said politely as they were leaving.

To his surprise, Lin Feng spoke up without any hesitation: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Su to help me get some hundred-year-old medicinal herbs."

"This..." Uncle Su had never seen such a thick-skinned boy.

Lin Feng seemed to sense something. "Ha, it's like this... With these herbs, I can increase my chances of taking first place in the Donghai Grand Competition. When the time comes, the Su Family will also gain more benefits, won't they?"

"Fine, you kid... I agree." Uncle Su could see that Lin Feng was growing; he was no longer the simple-minded boy from the beginning.

Backstage.

Ren Hui spoke very respectfully to the old man in front of him, "Elder Ding, it's fifty million."

Elder Ding opened his eyes, looking a bit pained. "If it weren't for my urgent need for money, this old man would never have sold a martial technique so cheaply."

Handing the black card to Elder Ding, Ren Hui didn't dare to speak.

It truly was sold at a bargain price.

"Why didn't you deduct the service fee?" Seeing the fifty million deposited into the card, Elder Ding felt quite a bit better.

"Elder Ding, you are a noble Grandmaster; how could we charge a service fee? Consider it a gesture of goodwill from the Donghai Branch of Angel International." Ren Hui smiled respectfully.

"Hahaha... Interesting. Angel International has such an interesting young man like you.

I have high hopes for you, keep it up." After saying that, he left the spot and vanished without a trace... The next morning, Ling Xian received news about Lin Feng early on.

"I didn't expect Lin Feng to still be able to obtain an opportunity," Ling Xian marveled.

"illusion dream, open the panel!"

"What a harvest!" Ling Xian looked at the villain points and rewards he had obtained during this period, feeling happy in his heart.

This was the first time he had obtained so many villain points.

Ten thousand, ten thousand!

"Let's start with a ten-draw! illusion dream, ten-draw!"

A large roulette wheel appeared and spun wildly.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining internal energy pill +1!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining internal energy pill +1!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining body tempering pill +1!】

...【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a storage ring (one cubic meter total, can be upgraded!)】

...【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining body tempering pill +1!】

The ten-draw ended.

"One storage ring, four body tempering pills, and five internal energy pills in total!" Ling Xian nodded, quite satisfied.

After all, he had obtained a fairly useful storage ring.

This kind of thing was quite rare.

It would definitely be common in a xianxia world, but this wasn't a xianxia world.

The next day was calm and peaceful.

Ling Xian gave all four body tempering pills and five internal energy pills to Wu Poshan, using them to help Wu Poshan break through to a Second-Rank Martial Artist.

On Ling Wu's side, he mobilized many of the Ling Family's secret guards and, combined with the [Beginner Intelligence] Ling Xian had exchanged for 500 villain points from the system mall, conducted a carpet search for personnel who had recently entered the country.

Ultimately, they locked onto several highly suspicious targets. The one that best matched the characteristics of 'Poker A' was a Chinese woman who had entered on a tourist visa and was registered under the name 'Yi Shuang'.

This woman's movements were mysterious, and her counter-reconnaissance skills were extremely strong. She frequently visited various high-end clubs but did not socialize with anyone, as if she were a real tourist.
