Living between the two realms, I seek enlightenment in the mortal world.

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaoguo went out.

Chen Feng sat down cross-legged to practice basic meditation techniques, and after finishing, he practiced military boxing to hone his physique.

When tired, practice the Gentle Water Technique.

The schedule is packed full.

When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Xiaoguo hurriedly returned, her face showing anxiety.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng slowly stood up, already having a guess in his mind.

"Huang Zheng, the young leader of the Wolf Gang, is dead." Jiang Xiaoguo said in a low voice, her voice filled with both surprise and worry.

"Dead?" Chen Feng exclaimed in shock. "How did he die? Was it one of our Tiger Gang brothers who killed him?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head. "I went to the street to buy medicine and ran into Sister Cuihua. She said that Huang Zheng was killed in a restaurant last night. His death was very suspicious. No wounds were found, and no signs of poisoning were detected. She suspects that the Fierce Tiger Gang did it. And now, the Evil Wolf Gang is about to attack the Fierce Tiger Gang. It's very chaotic outside. Sister Cuihua told me to come back quickly and not wander around the streets."

"That kid was reckless and did all sorts of evil deeds. He was bound to die a violent death sooner or later. I didn't expect him to die so quickly. It saves us a lot of worry." Chen Feng said happily, "No matter who did it, it's a great thing. Xiao Guo, make some good food for lunch, let's celebrate."

"Alright!" Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she carefully took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. "Brother, these are Body Tempering Pills, ten taels of silver each."

She paused, then added worriedly, "While the Body Tempering Pill can indeed strengthen the body, its medicinal properties are too potent and can easily cause agitation of qi and blood, damaging the internal organs. Brother, can your body really withstand it?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Chen Feng took it.

"Brother, but I'm still worried." Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes flickered as she hesitated. "Do you remember, five years ago you felt weak and kept pestering Father to buy you a Body Tempering Pill, and you got a severe beating from him with a willow branch?"

"You silly girl, you can actually get confused sometimes. It wasn't a willow twig, it was clearly a bamboo strip! You scared me half to death, and you had to throw yourself on top of me to take the hit for me." Chen Feng ruffled her hair, saying meaningfully, "Don't worry, now that I have my father's protection and have been enlightened by the gods, I've gained wisdom and awakened my innate intelligence. I've been reborn and am no longer the same as before. In the future, my cultivation will surely soar to new heights."

"Do you remember?" Chen Feng looked into her eyes, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Back when your father brought you home, you were so timid, like a frightened kitten, trembling and very wary. I held your hand and said, 'From now on, I'll be your brother, I'll give you good food and fun things, and I'll make sure no one can bully you.' Before, I was weak, so I couldn't help it, but now it's better. From now on, I'll still protect you, and no one can bully you."

"Brother, sob sob..." Jiang Xiaoguo buried her face in his arms, sobbing and crying out all the fear and grievances she had endured these past few days.

"It's alright, it's alright, things will be fine from now on," Chen Feng comforted softly.

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoguo nodded emphatically.

The faint worry between her brows also quietly dissipated.

"Brother, I'm going to prepare lunch. We must have a good meal today!" Jiang Xiaoguo happily went to the kitchen.

He wanted to help start the fire, but was chased away.

Chen Feng did not insist. He opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill the size of a peanut, brown in color, and emitting a faint fragrance.

"I hope the Body Tempering Pill really works!"

After a slight hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp and then began practicing military boxing.

If Chen Feng's purpose in coming here was merely to cultivate to the peak of the student level, there would be no need for him to purchase Body Tempering Pills.

However, he is ambitious.

I want to break through physical limitations and join the ranks of warriors.

The fist technique unfolded, and the wind howled.

In no time, Chen Feng felt streams of heat appear, flowing through his body with the force of his fist techniques and merging into every cell.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Xiaoguo peeked out and looked around a few times. She looked a little confused, then shook her head and continued cooking.

Chen Feng stopped around noon.

He had fully absorbed the effects of the medicine, but he was not entirely satisfied.

Based on the sensation, the punching power increased by approximately ten kilograms.

"Brother, how was the result?" Jiang Xiaoguo came out with a tray and placed it on the stone table.

"It's alright." Chen Feng walked into the kitchen and brought out two plates. "You made so much?"

"Of course we should celebrate!" Jiang Xiaoguo said with light steps. "The Body Tempering Pill only enhances physical constitution; the stronger the physique, the weaker the effect. Brother, do you feel anything else?"

"No!"

"That's good."

Their lives were very peaceful; they mostly spent their time quietly cultivating themselves at home.

However, things are getting more and more chaotic outside.

Three or four days passed in the blink of an eye.

That afternoon, the setting sun hung over the mountaintop.

Chen Feng withdrew his fist and stood up, sensing the changes within himself. He had a plan in mind: "I've reached the peak of the student level, the true peak. To take another step forward, I need to break the genetic shackles, allow my physique to evolve, and become a formal martial artist."

Then another thought came to mind.

If his body from two different worlds merges, will his constitution be different? Will there still be genetic constraints?

"There should be. On Earth, genetic barriers can be used as a boundary barrier."

At that moment, Chen Feng heard familiar footsteps, and the courtyard gate was pushed open.

After Jiang Xiaoguo came in, she closed the courtyard gate behind her, bolted it, and then propped it open with a wooden stake to prevent anyone from prying the door open from the outside.

"Brother, something's happened outside." She came over hurriedly again, carrying a vegetable basket, her face showing surprise.

"What's going on?" Chen Feng took the basket and placed it on the stone table, then pressed her down onto the stool before asking.

"Just last night, the Wolf Gang launched a surprise attack on the Tiger Gang, resulting in a fierce battle with rivers of blood and heavy casualties." Jiang Xiaoguo clutched her chest and lowered her voice. "Wang Hu said that Huang, the leader of the Wolf Gang, was seriously injured, and Lu, the leader of our Tiger Gang, was also badly wounded. Most of our brothers in the gang died, which is very tragic. He also said that the gang has suffered heavy losses, which may attract the covetous eyes of other forces, and we must be careful."

"The Wolf Gang launched a sneak attack; Chief Lu didn't expect that?" Chen Feng frowned.

Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head; she was also puzzled by this.

Since the Wolf Gang believes that the killing of their young leader is related to the Tiger Gang, then Leader Lu should have been on guard long ago, yet he was still ambushed.

"Anyway, it's none of our business, so let's not meddle," Chen Feng added.

"Mmm-hmm!" Jiang Xiaoguo nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then hesitated and said, "Brother, have we been eating too well lately? Maybe we should cut back?"

"You silly girl, you think the expenses are too high, don't you?" Chen Feng pointed out her little scheme. He rubbed his chin and pondered, "Originally, I had a plan that could resolve the crisis and also get you the follow-up cultivation techniques, but now, I have a better idea."

"What are your thoughts?" Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes lit up as she eagerly asked.
