My martial arts skill bar can be infinitely merged.

At night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and foul air rose.

This restaurant, which could be said to have been built specifically for Yunxia's disciples, also turned off its lights and closed for the day.

Lu Feng returned from the first floor to his assigned room, number three on the third floor. The room was dark, with no lights on and the doors and windows tightly closed.

Architecturally, there is no difference between the inner city and the outer city, and the guest rooms in the restaurant are also unremarkable. However, it is precisely the inner city that can avoid the night ghosts.

Everyone in the outer city was terrified and lived in constant fear, while the inner city remained as new as ever.

Anyone could tell that something was wrong.

When the shopkeeper was serving him earlier, Lu Feng also brought up this topic. The shopkeeper just smiled and didn't reveal the answer directly, leaving it as a mystery, saying that everything would become clear once he entered the Dao Academy.

Having already talked this far, there was no way I could get any information out of them, so I had to give up and go upstairs to my room to rest.

The day was filled with ups and downs. He resolved the safety issues at home, helped a friend in need, and only after doing all that did he have some time to himself.

"The fact that replaced talents can be loaded at any time is truly amazing; this martial arts interface is amazing."

Before Lu Feng stood a semi-virtual faceplate, its three martial arts slots already fully loaded.

Aside from the three talents listed in the column, the smaller text below shows the replaced [Physical Strength].

After observing for a short while and noticing nothing unusual, he hid the martial arts section.

He then observed his own body. After the bone structure was loaded, the changes in his body were particularly obvious. He could sense that some things he couldn't understand had appeared inside his body.

These are the changes brought about by one's inherent constitution. One tries to mobilize these, but cannot. These things are extremely inert and are not under the control of willpower at all.

In terms of physical health, I kept feeling a sense of weightlessness while walking today, which is probably a side effect of my body growing rapidly.

When he first became conscious, Lu Feng was only 1.4 meters tall. After more than half a month, he grew to 1.5 meters. For a thirteen-year-old boy, this height was not outstanding, but for Lu Feng himself, this was just the beginning.

With fists clenched, a sense of power arises spontaneously, and the muscles in the arms are naturally defined, making them incredibly intimidating to look at.

"This is my power."

A glint appeared in Lu Feng's eyes. The physical modifications brought about by his talent had made him lose his sense of direction in judging his own strength.

In terms of strength alone, it's hard to estimate, but he has a premonition that even that master who studied under Leopard Hand wouldn't be able to withstand a few of his punches.

This is the principle of overwhelming force with sheer power.

After a long while, Lu Feng also got tired. He took off his shoes and clothes, and lay down on the carved wooden bed wearing only a silk robe.

Beneath him lay a soft, embroidered couch, the room filled with the gentle fragrance of incense, and the outside world was utterly tranquil. In this environment, even though Lu Feng was wary of his surroundings, he couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

He slept soundly until sunlight refracted through the window paper, and the dulled light fell on his face. Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes.

My brain kicks in, and everything from yesterday comes flooding back, making my eyes clear.

Get up, put on your clothes and shoes, go out to wash up, and wait until you're done washing up.

On the first floor of the restaurant, Lu Feng sat at a clean square table, looking at the breakfast laid out in front of him.

There are seven or eight kinds of breakfast dishes, including honey twisted dough sticks, sugar-coated baked buns, sugar-coated dumplings, kidney bean rolls, chicken porridge, and crab roe soup dumplings. They are all beautifully presented and have an enticing color, making one's mouth water just looking at them.

Pick up your chopsticks and savor these delicacies that were insignificant in your past life but are hard to find in this one.

The other family members were also eating around him, and no one spoke, everyone waiting for Lu Feng to finish and speak.

A moment later, with his stomach full, Lu Feng looked around and slowly said, "Everyone, go about your business during the day. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."

A large group of people definitely needs to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, so staying at the inn all the time isn't feasible. Fortunately, he has already handed over the money to the Yuan family, so they have the capital to do whatever they want.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Dayou was the first to walk out. He was going to his shop in the outer city. He couldn't abandon his old business. Now that he had a powerful backer, he had no worries about business.

Lu Chen did the same, heading to the county government office.

Lu Zhou went to the Pang family. His position as team leader was very lucrative, and he couldn't possibly give it up in the short term.

Lu Feng also stepped away, heading towards the small courtyard where he had been tested the day before.

After walking through several streets, we soon arrived at the courtyard from yesterday. Because the testing time had passed, there were no large crowds waiting outside the courtyard, and the man who had written down names was no longer there.

Straighten his clothes and smooth his hair, Lu Feng strolled up the steps, stepped over the threshold, and entered the courtyard that had been opened earlier.

He spotted the senior brother from yesterday at a glance. Ke Xing was dressed the same as yesterday, wearing purple robes and a crown, with a gentle expression. When he saw Lu Feng, he nodded and spoke slowly.

"Is everything done?"

Lu Feng looked grateful, picked up the jade pendant hanging from his waist with one hand, stepped forward and handed it over, responding as he did so.

"Thanks to my senior brother's jade pendant, all the household chores have been taken care of."

Ke Xing took the jade pendant and said with a smile, "You're too kind, junior brother. You'll have one of these jade pendants today too. They're just everyday items. Come with me. The academy's apprenticeship ceremony is today. Let's go."

As she spoke, she took the lead and led Lu Feng out of the courtyard.

Lu Feng didn't make any more grand pronouncements, such as expressing gratitude, as those words would have seemed powerless.

The two walked through a luxurious long street, five miles long, with carved beams and painted rafters, and dazzling crowds. What was sold and seen could not be compared to the ordinary streets of the inner city.

Ke Xing remained calm as he led Lu Feng through the passage. Seeing that his junior brother also had the same expression, Ke Xing's impression of Lu Feng improved considerably.

Soon, the two arrived at the outer path of a long courtyard. Strong and sturdy men were guarding the perimeter with weapons. The most conspicuous place was the entrance of a Taoist temple in the middle.

It can be described as green tiles and red gates hidden in the misty greenery, stone steps with moss marks connecting to the ancient road, and the plaque hanging on it is inscribed with the four characters Yunxia Daoyuan.

"Come with me."

Walk up the thirty-six jade steps and cross the gate made of purple jade wood.

Scene change.

The main hall of the Taoist temple.

A golden Taoist priest, fifteen meters tall, is standing at the incense offering spot. He has no facial features, but his golden body shines brightly. He has a solemn and dignified appearance, wears a robe with seven-colored cloud patterns, and holds a ruyi scepter, radiating precious light.

This is a deity worshipped by the Yunxia lineage, known as the Martial King Dharma Master Demon Subduer True Lord, and has absolutely no connection to the history that Lu Feng knew in his previous life.

On the red cloth of the offering table, there are freshly picked fruits and incense burners.

The current head of Yunxia Academy, whose name was Xuan Yin, had white hair and aged features. Upon seeing Lu Feng, he showed a kind expression.

His voice was melodious as he addressed the disciples who were bowing and had not yet entered the sect: "My Yunxia Dao Academy has been established in Cangwu for over eight hundred years and is under the jurisdiction of Wangting Dao Academy."

"Your innate talent is perfectly suited to my Cloud and Mist Daoist Martial Arts. Would you be willing to become a disciple of my Daoist Academy?"

Lu Feng revealed a devout expression: "This disciple is willing."

Xuan Yin nodded in satisfaction and spoke again: "Today, a new disciple has entered the academy, given the Daoist name Mingxu. He is the thirty-second generation disciple and can study the Daoist scriptures and receive the techniques. I hope Mingxu will cultivate diligently and not waste his talent. Go to the Dharma Pavilion to receive the cultivation method. As for anything else you don't understand, you can ask your senior brothers and sisters."

Lu Feng regained his composure, his voice growing even clearer: "Mingxu understands, Master!"

"Good!" Xuan Yin smiled.

This year we have a promising talent, which is not bad. After all, the entire academy has only about twenty people in total, which shows how rare it is to find someone with such talent. However, this is also related to the fact that Cangwu is located in a remote area.
