"Ah Feng, do you plan on joining the Heavenly Martial Army or the Martial Hall? Or the Heavenly Martial Chamber of Commerce or the Hunter Organization? " Lin Ting asked casually. He believed that with Lin Feng's talent and strength, he would definitely become a martial artist.
"Join the Martial Hall," Lin Feng smiled, but he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Or the Heavenly Martial Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh?" Lin Ting was quite surprised. "I thought you would join the Celestial Martial Army. It's good fortune, and it's safe. Furthermore, the hierarchy is clear. The Celestial Martial Army is the strongest force in the entire Tianwu Continent. All the counties, cities, and even towns are under their jurisdiction.
It was obvious that Lin Ting was interested in the Heavenly Martial Army.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The army is too strict. There is no freedom."
Lin Feng did not say what he was thinking. If something happened to his family and he could not return, it would be troublesome.
The army emphasized discipline and teamwork. Once a mission was carried out, it was impossible to leave halfway. If one was stubborn, the consequences would be severe.
To him, his family was the most important!
Lin Ting laughed, "Ha, I didn't expect you to be a wild horse. Then why don't you join the Hunter Organization? You can do whatever you want. You can travel around like a wild crane or find a place to cultivate. You can even hunt Demonic Beasts with your companions and go on adventures to find treasures. You can be self-sufficient."
Lin Feng shrugged, "The benefits of the Martial Hall are good. If I perform well, I can even join the Martial Hall. At that time, it would be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate."
Lin Ting laughed, "You really dare to dream. If you join the Martial Hall … you will be at least a Martial Grandmaster. With a stomp of your feet, you can raze the Lin Family Village to the ground.
Lin Feng smiled but did not say anything.
To be honest, he really wanted to become a hunter. The image of the powerful martial artist who killed the Blue-Eyed Violent Bear with a single shot had made his blood boil.
This kind of arrogance, this kind of arrogance, this kind of growth and tempering between life and death made him yearn for it …
Which man did not have a dream? Which man did not want to stand out and be indomitable?
Lin Feng had that too. He even had a hidden stubbornness and persistence in his bones. However, Lin Feng knew that he was not alone.
He had his parents to take care of and his younger siblings to support. Therefore, the current him was not qualified to take risks.
Taking things one step at a time, steadily and surely, was the path he should take!
…
…
Lin Feng's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts as he hurried along the dark mountain road.
Lin Ting's words stirred him up a lot. The unknown life of adventure made his blood boil, but all of this was built on a foundation.
Become a martial artist!
First, he had to pass the Reserve Warrior Assessment.
"Half a month, only half a month left!"
"My body's strength has long reached the standard. The key lies in my speed and strength."
After passing through the thicket, Lin Feng landed on a piece of flat ground in front of him with a 'whoosh' sound. Then, he started to run at full speed.
"6.12 seconds … If I'm in my best condition, I should be able to reach 6.08 seconds. In half a month's time, yes, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get within 6 seconds."
"The problem lies in my strength!"
With a leap, like an agile monkey, he once again scuttled into the dark forest. Under the faint starlight, Lin Feng's expression was a little dignified. "Five hundred and fifty kilograms. I'm still fifty kilograms away from reaching the standard. According to the normal rate of improvement, it would take at least three months, but now … I can only give it a shot!"
"From tomorrow onwards, I'll give up everything and sprint with all my might. Two iron coins are enough to feed my family for half a month."
"I'll put ninety percent of my energy into strength training. In a short period of time, I should have a huge improvement in half a month's time!"
"If not … I can only try that."
Lin Feng nodded to himself and made his final decision. His figure rose and fell, disappearing into the night.
※ ※ ※
Lin Feng had changed.
He had become crazy, extremely crazy.
According to the tailored training plan, Lin Feng put all his energy into strength training.
It was proven that when a person was determined to do something and used the right method, he would often achieve considerable results.
The second day, 555 kilograms.
The fourth day, 559 kilograms.
…
The twelfth day, 577 kilograms.
The fourteenth day, 580 kilograms!
The further he went, the slower his growth became, as if he had entered a bottleneck period. Although Lin Feng only spent fourteen days to increase his strength from five hundred and fifty kilograms to 580 kilograms, which was a terrifying increase that was enough to stun people, Lin Feng was still not satisfied.
"If I can't reach six hundred kilograms, everything will be an illusion."
Lin Feng clearly understood that even if it was 599 kilograms, it would be the same. If he could not pass, it would be a failure.
"Tomorrow is the coming of age ceremony, and also the day of the annual preparatory warrior assessment in Qihuo Town."
"Looks like … I can only try that method."
With a flash of light in his eyes, Lin Feng could not help but clench his fists.
…
…
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Feng stood slowly. Not far in front of him was a deserted cave. The entrance of the cave was overgrown with weeds and countless gravel piled up into a small hill.
This was a natural cave that he had discovered by chance. The entrance of the cave had been covered by countless gravel because of the beast riot ten years ago. The cave was very deep, at least a few hundred meters. Lin Feng had explored it once when he was young, but he gave up halfway.
Because it was too hot!
The heat was unbearable, as if it was going to roast him.
After clearing away the gravel, Lin Feng looked into the cave. It was still as deep as before, with no end in sight.
"I hope everything goes well." Muttering to himself, Lin Feng carefully walked into the depths of the cave. This was his last resort.
He wanted to borrow the strength of this strange heat —
Stimulating!
A strange illness that stimulated the body.
Previously, Lin Feng had discovered that the hotter the weather, the greater the pain when the strange illness acted up. The burning sensation would be more intense, and the effect of body tempering would be more obvious!
There was a huge difference between summer and winter.
…
"Yes, this is the feeling!"
After walking for about a hundred meters, Lin Feng's forehead gradually began to sweat. It was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was approaching a raging fire.
Fifty degrees.
Sixty degrees.
Seventy degrees!
…
Every step was difficult. Lin Feng's eyes were blurred, and his breathing became rapid. At this moment —
The hour had arrived.
It was quite punctual, without a second of deviation.
Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, his heart beat violently. Lin Feng's eyes widened in horror. His body felt like it was on fire, and an unprecedented burning sensation came from his lower abdomen. If what he endured before was a small flame like a lighter, then what he endured now was a big flame like a boiler!
Extreme burning!
He curled up into a ball in pain, as if this could alleviate the terrible pain a little.
Lin Feng kept trembling violently. Sweat poured down his body like rain, but he didn't know whether it was from the heat or from the pain.
Clenching his fists, his face twisted, Lin Feng endured extreme pain. In his mind, he recalled the faces of his family, those warm scenes.
Father, mother, brother, sister …
Faces floated past one by one, making Lin Feng feel as if a warm current was poured into his heart, alleviating the pain by a lot.
Because this was the goal he had always strived for, the strength to persevere!
"I will never give up!"
A dark red color appeared on his body. Every inch of his skin seemed to have been burned beyond recognition, and the pain was even more heart-wrenching.
But Lin Feng gritted his teeth and persevered. For his promise, for his goal!
A stick of incense, a cup of tea, a quarter of an hour!
…
His willpower gradually began to blur, but his belief supported Lin Feng, making him unable to fall.
Because he knew that once he fell, he might not be able to get up again.
He hadn't fulfilled his promise, and he hadn't let his family live a happy life!
He didn't have the qualifications to fall!
With a stubborn expression and a persistent gaze, Lin Feng, who had been under great pressure and responsibility since he was young, had a stronger belief and willpower than anyone else.
In a hazy state, the scene that made his blood boil suddenly floated in his mind. That mysterious martial artist who killed the blue-eyed violent bear with a spear, that high and mighty, as powerful as the heavens …
Martial artist!
"I want to become a martial artist, I can't lose!"
"I must let my family live a good life!"
Perhaps only he could hear the hoarse voice, or perhaps he didn't even say it out loud …
Hua! The scene in his mind changed, and the terrifying blue-eyed violent bear that was twenty meters tall suddenly disappeared. That mysterious martial artist also seemed to have turned into light and shadow. In an instant, all the miscellaneous things disappeared, and Lin Feng's mind was only left with that spear.
That earth-shattering spear that pierced through the sky.
From the start to the spear, to turning into a stream of light, all the movements, every detail was replayed in his mind in slow motion.
Again and again, over and over again.
Lin Feng forgot the pain in his body, forgot the terrible heat, just like the first time at home. His mind was completely focused, and he fell into a strange state.
That unpredictable spear was very strong, very mysterious, and had an indescribable feeling.
…
Like this? Or like that?
"Xiu!"
Suddenly, that incomparably mysterious spear turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Lin Feng seemed to have woken up from a dream.
His sweat had already dried up, and his body had returned to normal.
Spreading out his hands and clenching them, Lin Feng seemed to feel a different texture, and his pupils dilated in a split second.
He became stronger!
"I wonder if my strength can exceed 600 Jin."
Lin Feng smiled tiredly, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of scorching heat. The surrounding heat waves and temperature couldn't compare to the heat in his heart.
In a split second, he disappeared from the cave.
