Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Lin Feng strolled around the main streets of the city. Although the city lord was dead, the order within the city had not changed much.

Shops remained open, and vendors continued their calls as usual; the city did not immediately descend into chaos due to the sudden death of its lord.

The lower-level officials are still functioning, so the situation is unlikely to collapse in the short term.

If a city lord is not sent over for an extended period, it will be dangerous.

Of course, there have been some changes, such as at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

The original location of the Tian Family Martial Arts School has been replaced with a brand new signboard bearing the four gilded characters of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

The place looked much more impressive now, and Lin Feng even noticed that the former Black Tiger Martial Arts School disciples all walked with a sense of pride and smugness in their expressions.

He went from being a poor loser to a rich and handsome man.

Lin Feng only glanced at it from afar and did not go to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

The Black Tiger Martial Arts School has long lost its appeal for him.

Today, the entire Yongguan County is dominated by two martial arts schools: the Black Tiger Martial Arts School and the Li Family Martial Arts School.

Although he was invincible, Lin Feng felt that one should not be arrogant. What if there was a hidden sixth brother?

There might even be a sixth brother hidden among them, just like Yang Laowu.

After wandering around for a while, Lin Feng returned to the courtyard, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for night to fall.

Night fell, around midnight.

Lin Feng changed into his night clothes, lightly leaped onto the courtyard wall, and silently landed in the shadows of the alleyway.

When the Flowing Water Step is used, the speed is as fast as a cheetah, yet it is exceptionally light, with the toes touching the ground almost silently.

It has to be said, it's a qualitative change.

In less than a minute, the City Lord's Mansion came into Lin Feng's view.

The mansion was much brighter than usual.

Unlike its usual solemn yet extravagant atmosphere, the city lord's mansion was now shrouded in a somber white.

White silk ribbons were hung at the gate and even inside the courtyard, fluttering in the night breeze.

Tuoba Ku's death caused widespread panic throughout the household, from his wives and concubines to the servants, who were all worried about their future.

Once a new city lord arrives, they will definitely be kicked out.

With a few nimble leaps, Lin Feng silently arrived at the roof of the three-story observation tower.

This is the highest point in the entire mansion.

A higher vantage point allows for a broader view.

Crouching in the shadow of the roof ridge covered with tiles, Lin Feng immediately locked onto his target: a brightly lit, separate hall in the backyard, with paper figures, paper horses, and other offerings placed in the open space in front of the door.

This must be the mourning hall that has been set up.

Upon closer inspection, only two servants dressed in mourning clothes were seen outside the mourning hall, leaning listlessly against the pillars, their heads nodding off in the procession. No family members or children of Tuoba Ku were to be seen keeping vigil.

Lin Feng held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds below.

After a short while, he confirmed that not only was the security around the mourning hall lax, but there were also no patrol teams.

Perhaps they felt that with the city lord dead, there was nothing left in the manor worth guarding so closely.

The time is ripe.

Lin Feng moved slightly, using the eaves extending from the second floor to push off and eliminate the downward momentum. He landed as lightly as a raccoon, without making a sound.

Using his lightness skill, he quickly approached the mourning hall.

The two servants, who were dozing against the doorposts, were completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Lin Feng moved with lightning speed, his index and middle fingers joined together, precisely striking the pressure points on the back of the two men's necks to induce sleep.

Without uttering a sound, the two of them went limp and slid down the pillar to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

"Tsk tsk, I must say, this acupressure technique, combined with internal energy, is really convenient and effective."

It's quieter and safer than knocking someone unconscious.

He slipped into the mourning hall.

The hall was brightly lit by candles, and in the center sat a heavy, black lacquered coffin, which had not yet been sealed.

Inside the coffin, Tuoba Ku was dressed in official robes, his face ashen. Although his throat had been treated, a horrifying hole was still visible.

The former majesty of the city's lord has now been reduced to a cold corpse.

Lin Feng wasted no time. He quickly stepped forward and gently placed his left hand on Tuoba Ku's corpse.

Black lotuses emerge.

The next moment, the corpse inside the coffin vanished instantly, leaving only an empty coffin.

After succeeding, Lin Feng didn't linger and withdrew from the mourning hall in a flash.

Following the same route, at an even faster pace than before, he quickly scaled the mansion wall and silently returned to his rented courtyard.

After closing the door, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied look on his face.

The operation went unexpectedly smoothly.

What surprised him even more was the harvest.

Lin Feng felt the newly increased internal energy within his body, as well as the additional memories appearing in his mind.

When a person dies, their internal energy gradually dissipates, but a portion of it seems to merge into the corpse, gradually disappearing as the vital energy dissipates.

Even after being refined by the Black Lotus, the energy returned is still considerable.

Overall, fresh corpses provide more energy.

This pure energy propelled his original acquired internal strength, breaking through four new acupoints in a row with unstoppable force.

Prior to this, based on Yang Laowu's feedback, he had already opened up eight acupoints. Now, in total, he has opened up all the acupoints on the first major meridian of the eight extraordinary meridians.

He only needs to open an acupoint on this second meridian to smoothly enter the second level of the acquired realm.

Lin Feng was simply too lazy to cultivate; he had taken too many shortcuts and had no patience for it.

However, Lin Feng has not yet discovered any fellow Daoists who can help him improve.

After all, Yongguan County was too small; in the grand scheme of the Great Wei Dynasty, it was pitifully small.

Lin Feng suppressed his excitement, "As expected, it is thanks to your help, fellow Daoist. As the saying goes, those who follow the Dao receive much help, while those who stray from the Dao receive little help."

The Black Lotus's devouring feedback, combined with his own cultivation, was far more efficient than ordinary arduous training.

Besides the energy gained, Tuoba Ku's memories and cultivation techniques also became Lin Feng's spoils of war.

The martial arts technique practiced by Tuoba Ku was called "Great Wei Sword Technique," which was one of the standard martial arts techniques bestowed by the Great Wei court upon meritorious military generals or those who obtained fame through the martial arts examination.

It contains a basic internal energy cultivation method, a battlefield sword technique that emphasizes momentum and power, and a rather rudimentary "lifting and leaping technique" for short-distance climbing.

To be fair, this "Great Wei Sword Technique" is inferior to Yang Laowu's insidious, cunning, and complete "Yin Sword Technique".

Whether it's the sophistication of the internal energy cultivation method, the potential for variation in the moves, or the practicality of the accompanying body techniques, it's far inferior.

One is complex equations and functions, and the other is basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

However, even a small mosquito is still food.

The development and application of acupoints on the arms, shoulders and back in the Tuoba Ku Gongfa differs from the focus of the Yin Dao Jue.

This provides Lin Feng with another perspective and supplement.

better than nothing.

Through Tuoba Ku's memories, Lin Feng gained a clearer and more specific understanding of the military examination system of the Great Wei Dynasty.
