Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Page 723

The grandfather and grandson sat in the backyard waiting.

Old Han looked at his grandson and said with a smile, "Go play at Erniu's house. Grandpa can look after things here."

"Grandpa, shall I go?"

Han Feng also wanted to go out and have some fun. Waiting for Doctor Qian to finish his work here would probably take an hour.

"Go."

Old Han smiled and waved.

Han Feng ran out of the clinic and headed straight for Er Niu's house with practiced ease.

Erniu was Han Feng's childhood playmate. She originally lived in the back village with her maternal grandmother.

However, Erniu's parents are quite hardworking. After earning money, they built a new house in the front village, so Erniu now lives with her parents.

Although he was separated from Erniu, Han Feng would often take the opportunity of visiting the village with his grandfather to go and play with Erniu.

"Boom boom boom!"

Han Feng knocked on Er Niu's door.

"Erniu, Erniu, it's me, Han Feng!"

A moment later, the door was opened.

Erniu's round little face peeked out from the crack in the door.

"Han Feng, my dad is home today, and he won't let me go out to play."

"That's it, okay then."

Erniu looked at Han Feng pitifully, secretly wishing she could go out with him to wreak havoc and catch shrimp by the stream.

However, Erniu's father is a strict man and has begun to focus on disciplining Erniu's studies and spiritual practice.

Erniu didn't finish memorizing the article she read yesterday, so she's still being punished by standing in the corner today.

"Han Feng, did you go to the clinic to sell medicine with Grandpa Han again today?"

"Yup!"

"Oh, I really envy you."

Erniu said that she also wished she had an elder who wouldn't control her so much, so that she could play around as she pleased.

When she lived with her maternal grandmother, her grandmother always indulged her, and those were the happiest times for her.

Unfortunately, I now live with my parents. Although our living conditions have improved, I've lost a lot of my freedom.

"By the way, Han Feng, remember to attend the Spirit Awakening Ceremony in three days!"

Erniu reminded her.

"I see!"

Han Feng waved goodbye to Er Niu.

He walked alone in the maple forest of the village.

This is a small maple forest, not a large maple forest deep in the mountains.

Maple Forest Village is very large, with several different settlements separated by maple forests. The fastest way to get between them is to walk along the paths in the forest.

"The Spirit Awakening Ceremony... I wonder if I can become a cultivator."

Han Feng looked at the sunlight filtering through the maple leaves and dappling the forest floor, and reached out to shake it.

When Erniu returned to her room, her father glanced at her and asked, "Was that Han Feng just now?"

"Ah."

"You should spend more time on your cultivation now. The Spirit Awakening Ceremony in three days is crucial for you. Han Feng is in the back village, where there are no conditions for cultivation, so spend less time with him."

"But Han Feng is very powerful!"

Erniu said.

Han Feng was very strong. When he was a child, he could lift logs that even some adults struggled to lift.

"What good is physical strength? Spiritual power is the key."

Erniu's father taught her, "Spiritual power is what opens the door to the world of cultivation. When you go out into the world, you will find that being stronger is just a tiny talent."

After picking some common herbs in the woods, Han Feng returned to the clinic, where Old Man Han was making a deal with Doctor Qian.

"Our little miracle doctor is here?"

Doctor Qian looked at Han Feng, stroked his beard, and said with a smile.

Han Feng smiled shyly and placed the herbs he had just collected into the medicine basket.

"Grandpa Qian, this is what I just picked."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. The harvest was very complete, and the key parts of the herbs were not damaged."

Dr. Qian looked at it and praised it with satisfaction.

No one could dislike Han Feng, a handsome and sensible boy.

In the back village, Han Feng was a heartthrob.

Everyone took good care of him.

"That's right, don't you even know who raised you?"

Old Han then boasted.

"You old drunkard, you've done something almost human in this matter!"

Dr. Qian laughed and scolded.

He used to look down on Old Han, after all, after selling his medicine, he would spend all the money on alcohol and his life was really miserable.

But since adopting Han Feng, Old Han's lifestyle has gradually changed. He saves most of the money from selling medicine, drinks less alcohol, and has become more energetic.

After the transaction was completed, the grandfather and grandson left the clinic. Old Han took Han Feng to a restaurant in the front village for a delicious lunch before returning to the back village.

"What, I didn't see Erniu today?"

Old Han asked about what happened that morning.

"I saw her, but Erniu said her father punished her for not memorizing her essay yesterday, so she can't go out to play with me today."

Han Feng replied.

Old Han remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

Articles, those are things only the wealthy can afford to read.

For a poor man like him, it was difficult enough to make ends meet, let alone send Feng'er to school.

"Sigh, Feng'er, Grandpa can't let you study, nor can he let you practice martial arts. Do you resent Grandpa?"

Han Feng asked, puzzled, "Why should I resent Grandpa?"

Old Han paused for a moment, then smiled and patted Han Feng's head: "Good boy."

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Old Han escorted Han Feng to the front village, and then watched a group of children walk into the village's martial arts hall.

Among these children, those walking at the front are those who have already received their initial training at the martial arts school. Their parents have paid money to hire practitioners from the school to teach their children, which greatly increases their chances of successfully awakening their spiritual potential.

Laying a solid foundation will allow you to go further in the future.

Therefore, any parent who has the means will spend this money.

However, most children did not have prior training at the martial arts school, and Han Feng was one of them.

He followed the crowd into the martial arts hall and saw a burly man with an extraordinary aura standing at the front, his hands behind his back.

The man's authoritative gaze swept over the crowd, then he announced loudly, "Everyone, line up in order. The spirit-activation ceremony will begin in fifteen minutes!"

The children lined up obediently, and a few minutes later, an old man walked out from the inner door of the martial arts school, accompanied by several martial arts disciples with equally extraordinary auras.

"Village chief, these are the children who will be undergoing the spirit awakening ceremony today."

The village chief of Maple Forest Village looked at everyone with a kind expression, then nodded and said, "Let's begin."

Chapter 538 Extra Chapter: Abandoned by Heaven

The spirit-awakening ceremony is neither simple nor difficult.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator at the Spirit Realm only needs to use a "Spirit Sensing Talisman" to gather spiritual energy to allow a child to enter a spirit-sensing state.

Anyone who can sense spiritual energy within a single day is considered a genius.

The "Spirit Sensing Talisman" lasts for a maximum of five days. After five days, the surrounding spiritual energy will gradually thin out. Therefore, for a small village like Maple Forest Village, if one does not sense any spiritual energy within five days, one has basically to give up on the path of cultivation.

Like most of the other children, Han Feng was a little nervous.

However, under the guidance of that Spirit Realm cultivator, everyone sat cross-legged, put their hands together, interlaced their fingers, and began to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Han Feng occasionally heard cheers, and then the children were taken away.

He thought he heard Erniu's voice.

Han Feng held his breath and tried his best not to let his mind wander.

However, as time passed, the first day of the spirit-awakening ceremony came to an end.

The martial arts practitioners rang the bell to disperse the crowd.

"Alright, that concludes the first day of spiritual awakening. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Please come back on the second day."

Han Feng left the martial arts school with a group of children, feeling somewhat disappointed.

He wasn't the talented one.

Old Han watched Han Feng walk out of the martial arts hall, a hint of regret on his face.

It seems Feng'er didn't succeed today.

"It's okay, there are still four days left."

Old Han comforted him.

"Let's go home and have dinner first."

There are still many children who did not sense spiritual energy today. Those who were able to cross the threshold on the first day were mostly those who made ample preparations in advance or had exceptional talent.

Han Feng went home with his grandfather, and after dinner, he began to summarize the lessons learned from today's failures.

But since no one taught him, he was completely baffled by it.

Old Han drank some wine after dinner today.

No one doesn't hope their child will succeed, but reality is often cruel.

To imagine finding a dragon in a pile of earthworms is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"Go to sleep early, Feng'er, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Han Feng forced himself to sleep, comforting himself that he still had a few days left.

The next morning, Old Man Han took Han Feng to the front village again.

Many other families also went along, and no one said anything to anyone else.

He's not a genius.

As dusk fell, Han Feng walked out again, dejected.

Many people succeeded today, but he didn't.
