152: Chapter 152 The Thought of Registration, The Core Mantle

"This eerie speed..."

Qin Feng quickened his pace.

Intending to follow.

However.

That "Strange Neck-ist" Senior Brother seemed to only take a few hopping steps forward, even crossing his feet on the spot, jumping back and forth, and throwing a few boxing punches.

But in an instant, he had already walked deep into the mist.

A few more blinks of an eye.

And he had already vanished.

"What's the situation?"

Qin Feng scratched his head.

Feeling quite bewildered.

"Brother Qin."

At this moment, Sheng Qing walked over.

Seeing Qin Feng's puzzled look, a smile spread across the young girl's face:

"Don't mind him. That's just how Senior Brother is. He's completely obsessed with his own martial arts, oblivious to everything else, and doesn't even greet people when he sees them."

As she spoke.

She waved the "Limit-Breaking Martial Arts" training class flyer in her hand:

"Shall I take you to enroll?"

Qin Feng's eyes shifted, but he didn't feel frustrated about failing to keep up with that "Strange Neck-ist" Senior Brother.

According to what Sheng Qing had just said.

This Senior Brother would go out to practice his boxing punctually at this time every day.

In other words.

He would have the chance to interact with him every day.

For now...

Qin Feng was mainly considering whether to enroll in this "Limit-Breaking Martial Arts" training class, which felt somewhat mysterious and eerie.

"That 'Strange Neck-ist' Senior Brother... the way he first appeared in the mist was indescribably like a monster, not human at all..."

"Even if he really created his own 'Divine Martial Arts Path,' there's a high probability that some aberrations occurred due to Extreme Dao Martial Cultivation..."

Qin Feng pondered and weighed it carefully in his mind.

Extreme Dao Martial Cultivation was not that easy.

If one thing went wrong.

Madness and aberration.

Would be as frequent as eating or drinking.

So.

In essence, within this training class called "Limit-Breaking Martial Arts"... there was a monster with an extraordinary combat value and a high potential for aberration!

And since there was one monster hidden there.

Did that mean...

There were other monsters hidden as well?

Were there more existences like that "Strange Neck-ist" Senior Brother?

"Let me think about it some more."

Ultimately.

Qin Feng did not choose to enroll.

Hearing this.

Sheng Qing felt a bit disappointed.

But she didn't force the issue.

Showing a vibrant smile, Sheng Qing stuffed the flyer into Qin Feng's hand and said:

"Brother Qin, if you decide to enroll, just bring this flyer here to find me. I'll keep today's lucky discount for you."

"Alright."

Qin Feng nodded.

Then he turned.

And left.

...

The thick mist soon swallowed Qin Feng's figure.

Standing on the steps in front of the ancient building.

Sheng Qing watched Qin Feng leave completely.

She pouted her small mouth somewhat helplessly:

"Sigh, it's really hard to recruit a student..."

Suddenly.

Sheng Qing seemed to sense something.

She turned her head.

And saw that "Strange Neck-ist" Senior Brother had appeared behind her at some point.

What was eerie was...

Even though he was right before her eyes.

This Senior Brother's face remained blurred.

Looking closely.

What was piled on that face wasn't flesh and blood features, but... irregular blocks of color similar to oil paint.

These color blocks were interwoven and chaotic.

Making one feel uneasy just looking at them.

It felt as if one's Soul was about to be sucked into them.

However, Sheng Qing took a direct look and felt nothing. She had seen this blurred and eerie face of color blocks countless times and had long grown tired of it.

"Swish! Swish!"

Senior Brother threw two combination punches into the Void Realm.

Eerie whispers flowed out.

Like someone murmuring in a low voice.

"Oh? Senior Brother, you think Brother Qin is very talented? That he might have the potential to inherit Teacher's Core Legacy?"

Sheng Qing seemed to understand the meaning within these murmurs.

Her eyes flickered.

Thoughtfully:

"I originally thought Brother Qin could only inherit the Peripheral Legacy left by Teacher in this 'Limit-Breaking Martial Arts' training class. You know, even finding a qualified successor for the Peripheral Legacy is already extremely difficult."

"But Senior Brother, you actually said... he can inherit Teacher's Core Legacy?"

"Is it really that exaggerated, that impressive?"

At the thought of that so-called "Core Legacy."

What appeared in Sheng Qing's eyes was not desire.

But...

Fear!

That's right.

Deep fear!

"If that's truly the case, then I've really stumbled upon a treasure today."

Sheng Qing took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling, but then she became a bit dejected. "However, Brother Qin seems to be too cautious. We clearly have no ill intent toward him, and we didn't even trigger his spiritual warning as a Martial Artist, yet he still left."

At this point.

Sheng Qing couldn't help but glare huffily at the "Strange Neck-ist" Senior Brother beside her:

"It's all your fault, Senior Brother. Why did you suddenly pop up in front of the training class? And you almost exposed your aberrated true form. You must have scared Brother Qin away."

"..."

Hearing this, Senior Brother's figure, which was swaying and punching, unusually came to a halt.

He scratched his head.

Seeming quite aggrieved.

...

Walking through the thick, deep mist, the clamor from the Ruin Market gradually became clear.

That eerie sense of stillness gradually disappeared.

Until finally.

Everything returned to normal.

"Speaking of which, did I just enter the 'Ether Layer'? But it didn't seem like it."

Qin Feng turned around.

Looked back.

Toward the direction where the "Limit-Breaking Martial Arts" training class was located.

A strange feeling permeated his heart.

He always felt that the ancient building where the training class was located wasn't truly in the vicinity of the Ruin Market, but was like an independent, special space distinct from the Material Plane.

It had an "Ether Layer" feel to it.

But thinking carefully.

It also didn't seem like it.

"I'll investigate more when I have the chance in the future. The 'Spirituality Warning' never reacted. Perhaps... they really mean me no harm."

He picked up the training class flyer in his hand.

Qin Feng gazed at the figure of the middle-aged man on the flyer.

Carefully observing the Pile method stance the man was striking.

Suddenly.

A thought popped into his mind:

"Should I give it a try?"

This Pile method seemed harmless to him; perhaps he could try striking the stance, as a way to experience just how much skill the "Limit-Breaking Martial Arts" training class actually had.

Of course.

Qin Feng didn't intend to strike the stance right then and there.

Although the surroundings were misty, the Ruin Market was crowded after all, and with people walking around, it would be easy to notice him.

Qin Feng walked toward his Underground Base.

But just then.

A voice called out to him:

"Eh? Isn't this the handsome Mr. Qin that our Hong Lian longs for day and night?"

"Ah, Qiang Wei, what are you talking about? What longing..."

"Oh, Hong Lian, don't be shy. A man chasing a woman is like crossing a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is like a thin veil. Watch me give you a big assist. I'll guarantee you're in the bridal chamber tonight, jie jie..."

"Uh, Qiang Wei, that laugh of yours... did you go to the Soul Hall for advanced studies?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Look, handsome Mr. Qin has noticed us. Hurry and mind your posture. You need to show a shy and bashful demeanor. Yes, perfect, just like that."
