After another round of point allocation.

Lin Feng allocated the remaining 40 points to the Cultivation Bar and added the last point to Iron Shirt.

Based on his experience, using points to break through realms is the most efficient method.

The increase in strength from breaking through a realm is significant.

In contrast, adding points without breaking through is like slowly laying a foundation. It’s not as noticeable.

For instance, he increased his cultivation to 41 points, which is in the early stage of Bone Forging. With just 10 more points, he could break through to the Mid-stage.

There was an increase in internal strength.

But it was only about a third of the increase from the previous breakthrough.

Far less effective than that single point.

And after adding a point to Iron Shirt, he was now Initiated in Iron Shirt!

Not only did his skin become incredibly tough, but his bones also became harder!

“Now, taking a hit from Xu Qiang shouldn’t be as difficult! However, judging by his performance, he’s at least in the Late Stage of Bone Forging!

The move he used this afternoon wasn’t even at full strength.

If he used full strength…

Facing him is still tough!”

Lin Feng analyzed.

“But just give me a bit more time to advance to the Mid-stage, or even the Late Stage of Bone Forging.

Crushing Xu Qiang will definitely be easy!”

…

In Kaiyang County Town, there wasn’t an additional wall separating the Inner City from the outer city.

But everyone knew that with the County Yamen at the center, extending outward for five miles, it was considered the Inner City!

This was because every County Lord possessed a treasure to combat Demon-Wraiths.

This treasure not only sensed the presence of Demon-Wraiths but was also a powerful weapon against them.

Under normal circumstances, without special activation, its range was about two kilometers.

Historically, incidents in the Inner City of Kaiyang County were rare and usually catastrophic.

If something happened in the Inner City, it generally meant the entire County Town was at risk of being wiped out by Demon-Wraiths!

Since its construction, Kaiyang County Town had been destroyed and rebuilt several times.

The Xu family lived closest to the Inner City.

Xu San looked at his son, whose face was swollen like a pig’s head, with both arms and one good leg suffering from multiple fractures.

His heart ached terribly!

He had spent a fortune hiring doctors from the town to treat his son, finally restoring all the bones.

But to return to his former agility.

It was impossible!

Moreover, the treatment process was excruciatingly painful.

Xu Xiong was in so much pain that he lost control of his bowels! His face was ashen.

Seeing this, Xu San’s heart ached immensely.

How could he not seek revenge for such a grievance?

“Second brother, how did that kid suddenly get into the reserve camp of the Demon Exorcism Division?”

Xu San asked his brother Xu Qiang.

“This matter is likely related to the Zhao family! Otherwise, no matter how strong that kid is, getting into the Demon Exorcism Division would be impossible!”

Xu Qiang replied helplessly.

The Zhao family was not something that small families like theirs could compare to.

“Even if the Zhao family is involved, are we just going to let this go? Xu Xiong is part of the Xu family’s bloodline! You, as his second uncle, can you just stand by while he gets beaten like this?”

Xu San suppressed his voice as he questioned his brother.

After all, it was his brother who was currently holding the Xu family together. Although Xu San himself was at the early stage of Bone Forging, in terms of social status, Xu Qiang was a Constable. In terms of strength, he was at the late stage of Bone Forging Realm. In front of his brother, Xu San was still a step behind.

“Brother, I know! But now is not the time. That kid is a disciple of the Demon Exorcism Division. If we don’t handle this properly and it gets discovered, it won’t just be Xu Xiong; the entire Xu family, you and I, will have to pay the price!”

Xu Qiang cared for Xu Xiong as if he were his own son, but he still retained his rationality.

“I think you’ve gotten too used to the good life these past ten years! You’ve become weak, afraid of death! Back then, the two of us took down the Zhang Family together! Now you’re afraid of a kid in the Body Forging stage?”

Xu San was dissatisfied with Xu Qiang’s attitude and complained harshly.

“I think you’re crazy! Back then, if it weren’t for the Chief Constable supporting us from behind, could we have taken down the Zhang Family? Now it’s the Demon Exorcism Division!!! That’s something even the Chief Constable wouldn’t dare offend! The County Lord has to show them respect!”

Xu Qiang replied coldly, feeling quite helpless towards his brother. His gaze was sharp, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to reveal its fangs at any moment.

“This matter, I’ll handle it. We’ll let the Green Snake Society test the waters first! But we have to wait, find the opportunity to take them all down!”

Hearing his brother’s explanation, Xu San calmed down. His eyes flickered, contemplating something unknown.

…

The next day, Lin Feng got up early and headed directly to the Slaughterhouse. Yesterday, Lin Feng hadn’t mentioned joining the Demon Exorcism Division’s reserve camp to Wu the Third. But due to Xu Xiong’s commotion, the news had already spread. When Lin Feng arrived and confirmed it, everyone at the Slaughterhouse was shocked. They hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be a martial arts prodigy! No wonder he was so skilled at slaughtering pigs, and so strong!

But why was Lin Feng still coming to the Slaughterhouse? This was something Wu the Third couldn’t understand. He had thought Lin Feng would resign from this job!

“Uncle Wu, even the smallest amount of meat is still meat! No one ever complains about having too much money. Besides, many people in the Demon Exorcism Division have side jobs. There’s no need to make a fuss. It’s just half an hour’s work!”

Lin Feng explained with a smile. Wu the Third and the others were simple civilians, and with Lin Feng’s explanation, they believed him. After all, Lin Feng was now part of the Demon Exorcism Division, a respected figure. Why would he have any reason to deceive them, mere common folk?

Seeing Lin Feng unchanged, still respectful and not arrogant despite his new status, Wu the Third’s eyes were filled with admiration. But while Lin Feng remained the same, Wu the Third couldn’t treat him as he did before. He became slightly more reserved and even replaced the Pig Offal with better Plum Blossom Meat. Lin Feng didn’t take it for free; he paid for it. With his current wealth, eating some pork wasn’t a problem.

After returning home and changing clothes, he entered the Inner City to head to the reserve camp of the Demon Exorcism Division. Upon arriving at the Camps, Lin Feng realized that the two gatekeepers were older, low-ranking disciples. They had been in the reserve camp for over a decade, stuck in the Tendon Changing Realm, considered the bottom tier within the reserve camp. In terms of potential, they couldn’t compare to the new disciples. In terms of strength, they couldn’t match the Blood Changing and Marrow Cleansing senior disciples. So they were left with the most arduous and least respectable tasks.

“Ha ha, Lin Feng, you’re here!”

The guard who had taken Lin Feng’s silver yesterday greeted him warmly, as if he had become a different person.

“Chen-Ge! Zhang-Ge!”

Lin Feng greeted them with a bow. Chen Fei took out five taels of silver from his pocket, intending to return it to Lin Feng.

“Lin Feng, yesterday we were out of line! This silver…”

“Chen-Ge, you’re too kind. It’s only right. I said it was for you two to enjoy some drinks. If you return it, that would be looking down on me, Lin Feng!”

Lin Feng stopped Chen Fei’s action, then bowed to them again and walked into the Camps.

“This kid, he’s truly from the bottom, unlike those rich Young Masters! Hopefully, he won’t be in our team!”

After Lin Feng walked away, Chen Fei sighed. Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the training ground. Today, the new disciples would be assigned to various platoon commanders. Being under different commanders could make a significant difference!
