Demon-Wraith Plagued World: From Commoner to Supreme

The relentless struggle of the wild boar forced Lin Feng to focus all his attention on it. The immense force exerted by the boar in its fight for survival nearly caused the six other men to lose their grip again.

Lin Feng held the Pig-killing Knife firmly, ensuring it didn’t slip, and continued to inflict damage on the wild boar. With one foot braced against its back, he helped alleviate the pressure for the others.

The boar’s cries and roars echoed throughout the Slaughterhouse. After a while, its struggles began to slow, the movements became smaller, and finally, it lay still.

The seven men finally relaxed, collapsing onto the ground and wiping the sweat from their brows.

“This beast sure has some strength!” Wu the Third caught his breath, took out the pipe from his waist, and walked over to the stove to light it. After a few puffs, he returned to instruct the others to lift the boar onto the workbench.

“Xiao Feng, it’s up to you now!” Wu the Third said to Lin Feng.

“No problem, Uncle Wu!” Lin Feng replied, snapping back to reality. He had just checked his panel and was thrilled!

Name: Lin Feng

Cultivation Manual: Battle Array Breaker

Cultivation: External Refinement Realm – Body Forging (4/100)+

Divine Ability 1: Devour

Divine Ability 2: Calamity Transcendence

Techniques:

Tiger Roar Fist (0/20)+

Upgrade Points: 2

The panel now displayed “Divine Ability 2: Calamity Transcendence,” and his Upgrade Points had increased by two!

Every living creature carries some Baleful Aura, varying in intensity. Divine Ability 2, Calamity Transcendence, allows Lin Feng to absorb the Baleful Aura from creatures he kills and convert it into Upgrade Points.

The wild boar, with its peculiar nature and dense Baleful Aura, had directly granted him two Upgrade Points. How could he not be shocked? How could he not be delighted?

At this moment, Lin Feng was filled with confidence for the future, his mind brimming with ideas.

With Calamity Transcendence, he was determined to secure a part-time position at the Slaughterhouse. After all, working there only required a short amount of time each day.

Butcher Zhu had now aligned himself with the Xu family and would likely abandon this job to move to the outer city. The Slaughterhouse was in need of workers.

Working at the Slaughterhouse would earn him at least five qian of silver a month!

This job would not only enhance his strength but also earn him money. Earning money would further boost his strength, creating a beneficial cycle!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Feng picked up the Pig-killing Knife and swiftly processed the wild boar.

Seeing Lin Feng finish the task, Wu the Third approached, inspecting the boar with its bones, flesh, and skin neatly separated. He nodded in satisfaction.

“Xiao Feng, I didn’t expect your skills to almost match Butcher Zhu’s! I doubt Butcher Zhu will return. If you don’t have other commitments, why not take over this job here?”

Wu the Third’s offer struck a chord with Lin Feng.

“Thank you, Uncle Wu!” Lin Feng said, bowing slightly.

“Haha, no need to be polite. We owe you today! Otherwise, who knows how we would have handled this wild boar!”

“Alright, get to work! If there are no extra orders, the daily workload is manageable. Finish early and head home early!” Wu the Third instructed, puffing on his pipe as he walked away.

Lin Feng could hardly contain his excitement!

Ever since he discovered the new Divine Ability’s function, he set his sights on the chickens and ducks in the slaughterhouse.

He then approached a flock of chickens and began his spree!

Two hours later, it was nearing noon.

Lin Feng had slaughtered dozens of chickens, along with ducks, rabbits, pigeons, and domestic pigs.

He gained two more Upgrade Points!

Though it wasn’t much, he was quite satisfied!

After all, it was an easy task; not all creatures had Baleful Aura as dense as that wild boar.

Finishing up his work, Lin Feng was about to leave.

Wu the Third came over, carrying several strips of wild boar meat.

“Xiao Feng, take this wild boar meat! And here’s twenty wen, your extra pay for slaughtering the boar today! It’s not part of your monthly wages!”

Without waiting for a response, he placed the meat and a string of copper coins into Lin Feng’s hands!

“This is too much, Uncle Wu!”

Lin Feng had come to help today, and Wu the Third’s generosity with both meat and money surprised him!

The meat weighed at least three jin, a luxury for those living in these times.

“No need to be polite, just take it! If there’s nothing else, head home!”

Wu the Third waved him off with a smile, gently pushing Lin Feng out.

Lin Feng felt deeply moved; there might be bad people everywhere, but good ones were never in short supply!

He thanked Wu the Third once more and headed back home.

In the shantytown, people couldn’t afford three meals a day, usually having one in the morning and one at night.

At this time, Mother Lin hadn’t returned yet.

Lin Feng went out again, buying a bag of rice and some vegetables, spending four qian of silver, and carried two large bags home.

He hadn’t even bought meat yet; the prices were staggering!

But the rice would last them a while.

He then prepared the meal, cooking all three jin of wild boar meat.

He saved some for his mother and little sister, then indulged himself!

After the meal, Lin Feng felt warmth spread throughout his body and checked the panel again.

His Upgrade Points had increased by two more!

“It seems meat, rich in essence and filling, is necessary. The rice husk and corn porridge from this morning had no effect!”

Lin Feng mused to himself.

He then boosted his Cultivation by four points.

He allocated one point to Tiger Roar Fist and another to the Butcher’s Deconstruction technique that appeared after slaughtering the chickens and ducks in the morning.

Name: Lin Feng

Cultivation Manual: Battle Array Breaker

Cultivation: External Refinement Realm – Body Forging (8/100)+

Divine Ability 1: Devour

Divine Ability 2: Calamity Transcendence

Techniques:

Tiger Roar Fist (1/20)+

Butcher’s Deconstruction (1/20)+

Upgrade Points: 0

As Lin Feng allocated all five Upgrade Points, he felt a surge of knowledge and experience flood his mind!

The Butcher’s Deconstruction technique imparted knowledge and experience, making him familiar with the anatomy of various livestock. Though not yet at the level of Butcher’s Deconstruction, he could efficiently slaughter any animal!

This would significantly increase his efficiency, saving him time!

What used to take a whole morning could now be done in half the time.

The progress in Tiger Roar Fist excited him even more!

He assumed a starting stance, exuding a sense of boldness and vigor, like a tiger ready to pounce.

He then executed a series of Tiger Roar Fist moves, the wind from his punches whistling, his movements agile and powerful!

Leaves in the small courtyard were swept up!

After completing the routine, Lin Feng delivered a punch to a tree trunk as thick as a bowl!

A dull “thud” echoed.

The trunk shook violently, leaves fluttering down.

“The hallmark of Tiger Roar Fist initiation: the wind from the punches, a single punch shedding leaves!”

Lin Feng murmured to himself.

Just then, commotion erupted outside.
