Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"This is fucking incredibly difficult!"

After breaking through his cultivation level, Lu Feng was so excited that he couldn't help but swear.

After all, he had not only made extensive preparations for this secluded training, but had also spent tens of thousands of spirit stones!

First came the two million high-grade spirit stones that Yao Guangxiao had given him, and then he won ten thousand top-grade spirit stones from the Dragon Arena. The two combined amounted to nearly three million high-grade spirit stones.

Based on the treasure-gathering capacity of the Treasure Basin, it would have only taken about a month for the total number of these high-grade spirit stones to increase at least tenfold!

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Lu Feng did not choose to wait in place for a month. He only waited for about three days before taking out all the high-grade spirit stones that were placed in the treasure basin.

As for these high-grade spirit stones, their value has also doubled, reaching a total of nearly six million. At the same time, Lu Feng absorbed and refined them all to break through his cultivation realm!

However, due to the fusion of the Treasure Basin within his body, Lu Feng's dantian capacity is several times that of ordinary martial artists of the same level!

Therefore, even though he spent a full six million high-grade spirit stones, he only barely broke through to the seventh level of the Yuanhai Realm and his cultivation failed to advance any further!

Although there were some regrets about this seclusion, Lu Feng's strength has improved considerably!

With his current personal strength, even without the help of trump cards such as the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique and the Earth Tiger Star, ordinary people below the Profound Gang Realm, even some veteran Yuan Hai Realm level 10 experts, might not be able to defeat Lu Feng!

"Old-fashioned...it seems like two ants have sneaked in...?"

Standing still after finishing his practice, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Inside the treasure basin, Gu Canyang's mocking laughter also drifted out slowly, clearly having expected this. "Hehe, I thought you were so busy cultivating in seclusion that you didn't even know what was happening around you..."

"Looks like your vigilance hasn't dropped yet..."

Swish!

Ignoring Gu Canyang's teasing, Lu Feng cracked his neck and then released a burst of Yuan energy to sense the situation. "Although the aura emanating from the newcomer is extremely weak, almost imperceptible, there are still clues to be found. It's not truly flawless..."

"Besides, there's a faint killing intent emanating from these two guys. Could it be that those demons from the Wusheng Sect have come seeking revenge?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but show curiosity.

After all, he was a newcomer to Jinling City and unfamiliar with the place. Apart from the Evil Village, which had been razed to the ground by the Floating Ghost General, the only enemy Lu Feng could think of was the Wusheng Sect.

"No, that doesn't seem right either...!"

Shaking his head again, Lu Feng denied his deduction, his face still serious. "The aura emanating from these two ants is completely unfamiliar; I shouldn't have come into contact with them before..."

"Moreover, if it were truly those demons from the Wusheng Sect seeking revenge, there's no way they would have only sent two Yuanhai Realm warriors. They would have likely swarmed out like a pack of wolves hunting, killing me on the spot..."

"Heh heh, I'd like to see just who you two are...!"

Calming his mind, Lu Feng stopped thinking about it and immediately turned to leave the nameless cave, flying towards the outside world.

Shh...!

Outside the nameless cave, all was still deathly silent, save for the occasional rustling of insects in the forest.

"Second brother, the target has been identified!"

"Be careful not to lose them...!"

Seeing Lu Feng leap out of the cave, a black-clad assassin hidden in the shadows of the forest also turned slightly grim, while secretly transmitting his voice to his companion who was lurking on the other side.

"Brother, don't worry!"

"This kid has absolutely no idea we're here, and he can't escape our grasp!"

In response to his elder brother's reminder, another, slightly younger assassin in black replied telepathically, his words brimming with confidence.

"Heh heh, the fish really took the bait..."

Noticing the two furtive black-clad assassins behind him, Lu Feng didn't expose them on the spot. He merely smiled slightly and flew off towards a more distant direction from Jinling City.

"Brother, it looks like this kid's trying to run away?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow them!"

Seeing that Lu Feng's movement speed was getting faster and faster, the two black-clad assassins behind the forest did not dare to be negligent and immediately followed. At the same time, they tried their best to hide their aura to avoid being discovered by the former.

"Big brother! I... I'm starting to fall behind...!"

"And why don't we just show ourselves and do what Boss Zhang asked us to do, instead of secretly following this kid around?"

Following closely behind Lu Feng, one of the black-clad assassins noticed that his movements were becoming increasingly faster. He couldn't help but speak up, seemingly puzzled.

After all, before the two brothers left Jinling City, their master Zhang Shunfei had already instructed them to simply give Lu Feng that "meeting gift" and then state their purpose; there was no need to make things so complicated!

"What do you know, you idiot?!"

Faced with his second brother's doubts, Liu Tong frowned slightly as well, and immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Boss Zhang has his ideas, and we have ours. Have you forgotten the unspoken rules of the Dragon Arena? As the saying goes, fewer people eat more, and more people eat less!"

"There are only a limited number of Silver-Rank Assassin positions in the Dragon Arena. If a few more newcomers come along and compete with us for those positions, what will become of us brothers? How will we make any more money then?"

"So, instead of letting that kid join the Dragon Arena, why not find a good opportunity to kill him? Then the two of us brothers can split the 'greeting gift' that Boss Zhang gave us. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Liu Tong's face was full of greed, his tone forceful and brooking no refusal. His second brother, Liu Yuan, hesitated, "This...this really will work...?"

"Moreover, if Boss Zhang finds out about this, the two of us might never be able to return to the Dragon Arena...!"

Liu Yuan still looked hesitant, but dared not completely refute the other party.

Because Liu Tong is not only one of the silver medal killers in the Dragon Arena with considerable personal strength, but he is also his biological older brother, and blood is thicker than water!

Therefore, Liu Yuan, as the younger brother, sometimes dared not refute Liu Tong, who was autocratic and had a strong personality.

"What's there to be afraid of! At worst it's just..."

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Liu Tong's voice abruptly stopped. The next moment, hundreds of emerald green snake shadows suddenly attacked from all around the forest, like a surging sea of ​​snakes, tearing and biting at the vital points of the former's body, intending to swallow him whole on the spot!

"not good...!"

The threat of death suddenly descended, and Liu Tong was also terrified. He immediately circulated his Yuan Power to create a huge barrier to protect himself, intending to block the impact and tearing of the sea of ​​ten thousand snakes!

"Big brother, watch out!"

As for Liu Yuan, who was standing to the side, he was also terrified and retreated rapidly, barely escaping death from the sea of ​​ten thousand snakes!

"Heh, not bad skills, but unfortunately you've picked the wrong opponent..."

A mocking male voice drifted slowly from above the sky once more.

The next moment, Lu Feng descended from the sky, then glanced indifferently at the Liu brothers who had narrowly escaped death, his tone still calm, "Speak, who is your master?"

"If you confess honestly, perhaps I might consider leaving you both with intact corpses..."
