Demon-Wraith Plagued World: From Commoner to Supreme - Chapter 37 - Epiphany
Back at home, Lin Feng practiced the Tiger Roar Fist for half an hour, digesting the food he had consumed. He then finished off the remaining half jug of Great Drunken Immortal Brew, once again experiencing that fiery sensation. Lin Feng checked his panel.

Including today’s 9 points, his accumulated Upgrade Points had reached 18. Lin Feng raised his hand and decisively added points to his cultivation on the panel. As he finished, a warm current surged through his body, repeatedly washing over him, enhancing his cultivation realm and physical strength. His bones emitted a series of cracking sounds.
Feeling the surge of power within, Lin Feng went to the courtyard and practiced the Tiger Roar Fist repeatedly. His speed, strength, and defense had all significantly improved. As he moved, he resembled a fierce tiger, exuding an intimidating aura that could make enemies hesitate before even engaging.
After a series of explosive sounds, Lin Feng’s body finally returned to normal.
“Bone Resonance!”
“Mid-stage Bone Forging Realm!”
Lin Feng thought to himself, this cultivation is almost too easy! However, it’s best to avoid running into Yu Qingqing for now. Otherwise, he’d end up being seen again!
Lin Feng glanced at his panel again and noticed his Tiger Roar Fist had improved by one point.

“Now that someone is watching me, it seems I need to enhance my Iron Shirt! If I cultivate it to Minor Mastery, I can withstand the first wave of an attack and counterattack even if someone ambushes me!” Lin Feng pondered.
He planned to allocate the Upgrade Points he would earn tomorrow to the Iron Shirt first.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, after visiting the Slaughterhouse, Lin Feng headed to the Demon Exorcism Division. In the Inner City, he saw a group of constables searching the streets, seemingly investigating a case.
To his surprise, he encountered Liu Mancang, who had been eliminated by Huang Qiong. Liu Mancang had become a constable! Due to his strong abilities, it seemed the other constables respected him.
When Liu Mancang saw Lin Feng, he smiled and nodded at him. Lin Feng returned the gesture before continuing to the Demon Exorcism Division.
After some thought, Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by Liu Mancang joining the County Yamen. Since he couldn’t enter the Demon Exorcism Division, joining the County Yamen was his only path for advancement.
At the Demon Exorcism Division, Lin Feng entered the courtyard and practiced his knife techniques. Each slash and chop seemed to increasingly follow a certain rhythm. Especially when he switched to the Pig-killing Knife, an unintentional state of flow became more apparent.
Beside him, You Lin and Mu Yu couldn’t discern anything particularly unusual, but they suddenly sensed a strong Baleful Aura flickering in and out, making them feel somewhat dazed.
Lin Feng, however, was oblivious to his surroundings. All he could see was his Pig-killing Knife!
One strike, two strikes, three strikes!
The Baleful Aura around him grew increasingly intense, even causing the temperature to drop slightly. This prompted You Lin and Mu Yu to instinctively distance themselves from Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng?” You Lin called out softly, but received no response, as if Lin Feng couldn’t hear him at all. This made You Lin and Mu Yu a bit worried.
Lin Feng’s knife moved faster and faster, the Baleful Aura around him becoming heavier. His eyes seemed to turn crimson.
Just as You Lin was about to shout loudly, a figure appeared and stopped him. At some point, the snoring in the room had ceased. The newcomer was none other than Commander Ding.
At this moment, Ding Yun had shed his usual nonchalance, his eyes shining with a sharp gleam.
“Don’t worry, he’s entered an Epiphany state!” Commander Ding remarked, his eyes greedily scanning Lin Feng as if he had discovered a treasure. If Lin Feng could see Commander Ding’s gaze at this moment, he might feel a chill down his spine.
“Epiphany state!” You Lin and Mu Yu’s eyes widened. Although they had never witnessed it, they had heard of it. Entering an Epiphany state was indeed a rare opportunity for a warrior!
They covered their mouths with their hands, fearing that even the slightest sound might disturb Lin Feng.
Soon, Lin Feng’s eyes returned to calm. With a thought, the knife in his hand moved instinctively with him. The Pig-killing Knife now felt like an extension of his body.
If his knife skills were previously honed to perfection, now they seemed to transcend form altogether. Each strike, though lacking in formal technique, aimed directly at vital points.
Lin Feng’s hand moved like lightning, the Pig-killing Knife tracing a line as it tapped the Wooden Dummy in front of him several times before coming to a halt. Lin Feng stepped back, observing the Wooden Dummy.
You Lin and Mu Yu couldn’t discern what Lin Feng had done to the Wooden Dummy, only sensing that he had tapped it a few times with his knife, leaving them bewildered.
Commander Ding, on the other hand, burst into laughter. “Hahaha, excellent, excellent!” He clapped his hands in approval.
At that moment, the Wooden Dummy shattered into hundreds of pieces, leaving You Lin and Mu Yu truly stunned. The Wooden Dummy was crafted from high-quality wood, and even their own swords would require considerable effort to cut through it. Yet, in Lin Feng’s hands, it had disintegrated in an instant!
“Commander Ding!” Lin Feng finally noticed the three people standing behind him, realizing he must have entered the legendary Epiphany state.
“Thank you, Commander Ding, for standing guard for me!”
“Heh, you’re like gold found in a pile of dung! Come with me!” Ding Yun chuckled and headed inside.
“Yes, Commander!” Lin Feng’s mouth twitched, then followed Ding Yun inside, leaving You Lin and Mu Yu dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ding Yun seemed like a different person, his eyes gleaming with a unique light. Though his appearance remained as unkempt and shabby as ever, he exuded an extraordinary aura-a true presence!
Once inside, Ding Yun closed the door and began to examine Lin Feng, touching his hands and feet, causing goosebumps to rise on Lin Feng’s skin. Despite Commander Ding’s status, Lin Feng held back from protesting.
But when Ding Yun reached for his rear, Lin Feng could no longer restrain himself and attempted to stop Commander Ding’s advances. To his surprise, Ding Yun anticipated his move and swiftly immobilized half of Lin Feng’s body with a single finger, rendering him powerless.
“Commander Ding, what are you doing? I’m not that kind of person!” Lin Feng exclaimed in panic.
“Heh, I’m not that kind of person either. Being noticed by me is your good fortune!” Ding Yun grinned, continuing his examination of Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng’s heart to sink.
He never imagined Ding Yun had such peculiar interests…
