Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 386 - 105: Demon God Blood, So What If You’re the Qin Family

Chapter 386: Chapter 105: Demon God Blood, So What If You’re the Qin Family

"You’re right, but doing this is still not enough."

Zheng Ningbo shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Elder of the Zheng Family looked confused.

"We need to address the matter on both fronts. If we want to appease the anger of Zhao Kuo and Ling Feng, we need to toughen up ourselves. Speeding up the process to make the Grand Elder a Realm Traveler is vital, and secondly... we might as well ruin Lin Zhenliang and the others. Perhaps only by doing this will Ling Feng and Zhao Kuo feel somewhat better."

Zheng Ningbo sighed hesitantly.

As the head of Jiangnan Province, he is never short-sighted; rather, he has long-term vision and is aggressive, willing to take action. To make Jiangnan Province a Third-tier Province earlier, he could sacrifice Lin Zhenliang, Pan Keming, Xie Sha, Lin Yanping, and Meng Dalai in the second round of assessments, by any means necessary, to eliminate Ling Feng and others.

Now he could sacrifice Lin Zhenliang and five others simultaneously for the sake of the Zheng Family and Jiangnan Province, even if Lin Zhenliang’s talent is decent and he just had a breakthrough recently. But compared to the threat of a Realm Traveler, those five are insignificant.

"This... sigh!"

Elder of the Zheng Family was astounded, realizing that Zheng Ningbo was indeed a ruthless character.

...

The Jiangbei Province diplomatic hall was crowded with people; representatives from various provinces visited Ling Feng.

This time, not only the representatives from Fourth-tier Provinces were present; representatives from Third-tier Provinces and even Second-tier Provinces appeared at the Jiangbei Province diplomatic hall, eager to see Ling Feng in person.

Pu Yuchao glanced at the newly received instructions and couldn’t help but sigh: "Ultimately, we are still a step late."

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance has already rescinded the order to assign Ling Feng to the Martial Hall. His performance in the fifth round has already gained significant attention from the Alliance. Pu Yuchao knows that from now on, perhaps only the Academy and Unit One can directly utilize Ling Feng.

He came to congratulate Ling Feng.

As a prospective Realm Traveler with a semi-Spiritual Root, Pu Yuchao is a true grandmaster in everyone’s eyes. Even the King of North of the River must be cautious, leading him to Ling Feng’s room for a private conversation.

"Congratulations on advancing to the sixth round."

Pu Yuchao congratulated.

"Thank you."

Ling Feng expressed gratitude.

"How does it feel to suddenly have so many cultivation resources?"

Pu Yuchao observed that in Ling Feng’s room, cultivation resources were piled high. Besides nutrient liquid, there were some precious replenishing liquids.

"Overwhelmed; it feels like everything I’ve seen before was fake. It’s as if resource scarcity doesn’t exist in this world."

Ling Feng expressed sincerely.

The gifts from various provincial representatives included cultivation resources as well as many food items. He even noticed various fresh fruits, vegetables, and some demon beast jerky that could strengthen qi and blood.

"Humanity is weak and needs martial dao students like you to expand territories and reclaim all resources rightfully belonging to humans. The things you receive now will have to be repaid in the future."

Pu Yuchao reminded.

"Then can I refuse them?"

Ling Feng naively asked.

"No."

Pu Yuchao shook his head.

He laughed and asked: "I want to know why you refuse to join the Martial Hall. By joining, you wouldn’t only receive generous cultivation resource subsidies but also contribute to humanity. Why not take advantage of that?"

"I want to stay in Jiangbei Province, live in South City, and spend my days with my uncle and aunt."

Ling Feng replied.

All for the sake of coasting along.

Having reached this point, he should enjoy it, return home gloriously. Suddenly joining the Martial Hall to charge into battle is not the life Ling Feng desires.

Of course, receiving so many cultivation resource subsidies means he won’t refuse to serve when necessary and can’t refuse. But when he can coast along, why wouldn’t Ling Feng choose to coast along?

"Wishful thinking."

Pu Yuchao was amused yet empathetic and continued: "No one dreams of returning home after success to live peacefully every day. If not for the demon beasts’ threats and humanity’s precarious existence, who would want to bet their life? The life you want; you’re not qualified to have it yet. The reason you cherish South City and prefer living there is due to the resource subsidies that let you be a big shot there. Otherwise, why not stay in Outer Ring City as an ordinary martial dao student?"

"This..."

Ling Feng was speechless.

Pu Yuchao was right. The reason he cherished South City and preferred staying there primarily is because, living in the Inner Ring City, the resources he enjoys are extraordinary in South City. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He also reminisces about life in Outer Ring City, yet never considered returning to reside there.

Humans are selfish.

Ling Feng has to admit that his seeming concern for South City stems from finding life there pressure-free; nobody can threaten him.

"I applied to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to forcefully recruit you into the Martial Hall and have you serve there."

Pu Yuchao stated.

"Ah? Hey, since it’s the Alliance’s order, I have no choice but to accept."

Ling Feng reluctantly agreed.

"The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance agreed but later refused."

Pu Yuchao shook his head.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

Ling Feng frowned, thinking since the Alliance’s directive was withdrawn, why would Pu Yuchao still want to recruit him into the Martial Hall?

Does he want him to reconsider?

"Tonight, I’m here for the Qin Family."
