That night.
Good news came from the Great Radiation Zone once again.
The Catfish Demon King was heavily injured and has currently retreated to the seabed. A large number of catfish demons have retreated back to the underground river or dived back into the seabed.
The catfish demon storm has been effectively stopped.
However, the city lordās army and the strong men from various academies have not withdrawn from the Great Radiation Zone. They are still clearing out the remaining forces of the catfish demons, planning to uproot them completely.
Meanwhile, the combat casualty reports have also been released.
This time, humanity lost more than six thousand Elemental Martial Artists, one hundred and thirty-seven Dharma Martial Artists, and two Dharma Martial Artists whose strength had reached the Muscle Realm.
Zhang Lingfeng also saw in this report Ao Dagang, a top ten powerhouse in Jiangbei Province, who has the same outstanding cultivation talent as him.
The other party was wearing red battle armor.
With a dozen peculiar flying sabers at his waist, he looked tall and rough in appearance. In the news report, the city lord of South City stood next to him, seemingly listening to his teachings.
Although the news did not show who seriously injured the Catfish Demon King, Zhang Lingfeng felt it might be related to Ao Dagang.
As one of the top ten powerhouses in Jiangbei Province, Ao Dagangās combat power apparently surpassed that of Marquis Zhuge, Wang Dashan, and others.
As for how strong exactly, Zhang Lingfeng didnāt know, only that rumors said Ao Dagangās combat power had reached the Bone Realm.
The authenticity of this remains to be verified.
Yan Fei returned to the hotel.
He confidently set up the Dharma Hall.
Expecting Zhang Lingfeng to come find him for cultivation.
Yet, an entire night passed without a sign of Zhang Lingfeng.
"What on earth is this kid thinking?"
Yan Fei was utterly perplexed.
Unable to resist, he used his privileges to check Zhang Lingfengās activity records in the Star Realm.
The result showed that Zhang Lingfeng logged into Teng Qingshanās game account, immersed in the ocean of games, unable to extricate himself.
"Games truly ruin oneself and others."
Yan Fei thought he found the reason, immediately using his privileges to have the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance arrange for someone to contact Teng Qingshan, asking him to retrieve Zhang Lingfengās game account and punish Teng Qingshan as a deterrent to others.
The next day.
Teng Qingshan, who was cultivating in the Ninth Middle School Elite Class, was called out of the classroom.
Yang Liru said indignantly, "Why did you give Zhang Lingfeng your game account to play with, and keep charging money into it every day? Do you know, Zhang Lingfeng hasnāt gone to cultivate for the past two days because of your game account."
"Sorry, Teacher Yang, I saw Zhang Lingfeng just moved into Inner Ring City and had no friends around, he might not adapt well to life there, so I let him play the account for a few more days. Iāll change the account password now so he wonāt be able to play anymore."
"Also, I have some good news - Iāve awakened my potential too, itās power, which can augment any skill."
Teng Qingshan couldnāt help but laugh at the end.
Zhang Lingfeng was indulging in games, having not gone to practice for two consecutive days, while he diligently cultivated and even awakened the power, surpassing him seemed just a matter of time.
"Change the password immediately!"
"Power awakening, huh, practice well."
"Zhang Lingfeng defeated a Martial Dao student with a combat power of 30.0 on his second day in Inner Ring City, it wonāt be long before his combat power surpasses mine. You have to work hard, donāt let him leave you far behind."
Yang Liru encouraged.
"Oh, okay."
Teng Qingshan felt like he had been struck by thunder, his head buzzing incessantly.
Zhang Lingfeng was already able to defeat a Martial Dao student with a combat power of 30.0.
The fifth day.
Yan Fei finished his lecture and continued waiting in the Dharma Hall.
Today is Monday, Zhang Lingfeng went to the conference hall, showing little interest in cultivation, with a completely indifferent attitude.
That night, Yan Fei didnāt see Zhang Lingfeng.
On the sixth day, Yan Fei continued waiting in the Dharma Hall.
That night, Yan Fei still didnāt see Zhang Lingfeng.
The seventh day.
Yan Fei kept his eyes on the Dharma Hallās activity.
"If he doesnāt come in tonight, next time he wants to enter, heāll have to wait until he becomes a Dharma Martial Artist. Iād like to see if he genuinely doesnāt care or if he just canāt recognize Mount Tai."
Yan Fei smiled broadly.
During these seven days, he only relied on the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to pressure Zhang Lingfeng, without attempting to persuade or talk with him directly.
Even when meeting in the conference hall, he pretended not to recognize Zhang Lingfeng, as if he didnāt even know he existed.
In reality, he was constantly at odds with Zhang Lingfeng.
In Future District.
Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the panel information.
Name: Zhang Lingfeng
Life Chart: Coast Along
Profession: Elemental Martial Artist
Combat Power: 39.7
Physical Fitness: 1.45661
Coasting Along Value: 41
Advanced Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill: Skilled (61/100)
Tidal Breathing Method: Mastery (43/100)
Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique: Entry Level (62/300)
Abilities: All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability, arm strength increases by two hundred kilograms at any level, faster than others, all-weather Body Tempering Ability.
Continuing to coast along in Yan Feiās classes and not reporting to the Dharma Hall for several days, his coasting along value accumulation was quite impressive, remaining over 40 points every day.
Because of this, his Advanced Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill progressed from entry level to proficient, increasing Zhang Lingfengās combat power from 38.6 to 39.7.
Only a step away from becoming a Dharma Martial Artist with a combat power exceeding 40.0.
Looking at the 41 points of coasting along value, Zhang Lingfeng didnāt hesitate to allocate them to the Advanced Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill.
Coasting Along Value: None
Advanced Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill: Mastery (2/100)
Combat Power: 42.3
Profession: Dharma Martial Artist
"My combat power has finally exceeded 40.0. From now on, I am also a Dharma Martial Artist. According to the Seven Great Star Systems Allianceās regulations, I must go to the examination room for self-evaluation tomorrow."
Zhang Lingfeng self-murmured.
To ensure that strong humans can be uniformly commanded during wartime, reporting is required when becoming an entry-level Martial Artist, Elemental Martial Artist, or even a Dharma Martial Artist.
If deliberately concealed, one will face severe punishment and may even be abolished from cultivation.
There are two reporting methods, one can undergo assessment in the examination room.
Or one can update the combat power through the ranking contest in the Star Realm System.
But taking part in the ranking contest in the Star Realm System, after winning, requires continuous battles, far less time-saving and effort than just going to the examination room for assessment independently.
So Zhang Lingfeng decided to go to the examination room independently tomorrow for assessment and update his combat power.
He tried to log into the game account Teng Qingshan gave him, found the password incorrect, and lost login privileges after entering the wrong password three times.
In the end, he could only use his own newbie gamer account to enter the game realm and play some relatively easy, less thrilling games.
Yan Fei looked at the time.
When it came to zero oāclock, he automatically closed the Dharma Hall.
Even though he had a gentle mindset, believing everyone had their own way of cultivation and it was unwise to interfere with others, watching Zhang Lingfeng lose the opportunity to cultivate in the Dharma Hall still filled him with great resentment.
He originally thought that Zhang Lingfeng would definitely show up in the Dharma Hall tonight, but not until the very last second did Zhang Lingfeng appear.
He couldnāt control himself and checked Zhang Lingfengās activities again. He saw that Zhang Lingfeng was surfing in low-level game realms, collaborating with a female streamer on his game account, recognized under his own identity, and having a great time.
"Someone like you doesnāt deserve cultivation resource subsidies at all, nor should you appear in Inner Ring City!"
Yan Fei was furious beyond control; Zhang Lingfeng had truly infuriated him.
He resolved to thoroughly discipline Zhang Lingfeng in tomorrowās class and make him realize exactly what he had lost.
