Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 408 - 114: Renowned Throughout the World, I Didn’t Drink the Demon God Blood

Chapter 408: Chapter 114: Renowned Throughout the World, I Didn’t Drink the Demon God Blood

In the end, Qin Qianyu successfully secured first place.

Ling Feng created a miracle and became second.

In this year’s national exam, Qin Qianyu stunned the audience, while Ling Feng was unexpectedly advantageous at crucial moments. Some even compared him to Qin Qianyu, with many lamenting that if Ling Feng had access to resources similar to Qin Qianyu’s, or even just a few more years, he could surpass Qin Qianyu.

Despite his victory, Qin Qianyu couldn’t feel happy at all.

He couldn’t capture a response from Ling Feng’s Seven Element Spear Intent and Domain to awaken his Spiritual Root; instead, he was swallowed by that darkness.

Flowers withered, spring felt desolate.

It was as if he had been slapped hard, with a sullen expression far from his previous calm and clear demeanor.

This battle truly made Ling Feng famous worldwide, becoming the most unexpected martial arts student in the Great Xia Kingdom. The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance greatly increased resource support to Jiangbei Province within just a few days.

Not only was there talent supply, but also numerous invaluable testing and combat equipment, enhancing Jiangbei Province’s defense level by a margin.

On this day.

Ling Feng lay in the Treatment Room.

He had the best nutritionists, pharmacists, and mental telekinesis experts checking his physical condition. As the second strongest martial arts student in the national exam, he was given high expectations. Even Ku Xuanhe came to inspect his injuries, then left with a knowing smile.

The next day at noon, Ling Feng slowly "woke up."

"You’re awake. The Qin family has been waiting for you for a while."

Ao Dagang had been personally looking after Ling Feng and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him wake up.

Ling Feng’s achievement of second place in the national exam, not only breaking Qin Qianyu’s swordsmanship but also shattering Qin Qianyu’s wooden sword, had brought unprecedented care from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to Jiangbei Province.

Even his Ho family received a bottle of Spirit Root Liquid.

Furthermore, a directive was issued to help Jiangbei Province become a Third-tier Province within three years.

Now, everyone in Jiangbei Province viewed Ling Feng as a treasure, fearing even a scratch could harm him. Those who had taught him cultivation, such as Wang Dashan, Yan Fei, Marquis Zhuge, Yang Liru, Hong Lixin, etc., received various precious resource support over the past two days. Their strengths rapidly increased, breaking their own bottlenecks and becoming strong.

"What do they want?"

Ling Feng was puzzled. Was Qin Qianyu still unwilling to give up?

He had been knocked unconscious, what more could they want?

"Guess they have their eyes on you."

Ao Dagang expressed envious delight.

The Qin family holds an exceptional status in the Great Xia Kingdom, influencing greatly, not just Qin Cangqiong holding a high position. If one could enter the Qin family, the resource support obtained would be unimaginable for ordinary people.

After all, the Qin family could produce people naturally possessing Spiritual Roots.

Demon God Blood could be given without hesitation.

The Spirit Root Liquid that many could only earn through meritorious service may be trivial to the Qin family.

"I just hope they don’t trouble me."

Ling Feng murmured. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A moment later, Qin Wanrong appeared in his sight, Ao Dagang smartly left. Ling Feng remembered her, the woman who walked into the venue with Qin Qianyu, Qin Qianyu’s sister.

"I never expected you could break my brother’s swordsmanship, almost defeating him."

Qin Wanrong was utterly amazed.

Had he seen it personally, he wouldn’t believe that someone among their peers within the Great Xia Kingdom could break their Qin family’s swordsmanship with just Basic Spear Skills.

"There was some luck involved."

Ling Feng smiled wryly.

"I’m not here for mutual humility. You performed very well, enough to catch the Qin family’s eye. I’m here to ask you if you’d be willing to join our Qin family, to work for our Qin family. I assure you that you’ll become as strong as my brother, and if you perform outstandingly, you might even become my father’s mentee or adopted son in the future."

Qin Wanrong stated directly.

"Mentee, adopted son? Is this asking me to become an apprentice while recognizing a father?"

Ling Feng was shocked.

Refusing this...how much Coasting Along Value could it bring?

Clearly, if he joined the Qin family or became Qin Cangqiong’s son, it wouldn’t be easy to slack off daily.

This runs counter to Coasting Along.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Qin Wanrong frowned.

"Nothing, I just think it’s unbelievable that such a good opportunity could come my way."

Ling Feng chuckled foolishly.

"I’m not joking with you. I’ll ask again, are you willing to become one of the Qin family, work for us, and enjoy our resources?"

Qin Wanrong was serious.

"What...what does being part of your Qin family involve on an ordinary basis?"

Ling Feng inquired.

"Naturally, it involves diligently cultivating, striving to become a Realm Traveler as soon as possible, stepping into the cultivation hall, working with the Qin family to subdue monsters and demons, and maintain the stability of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Qin Wanrong spoke forcefully.

"Doesn’t that mean there’s nothing to play with?"

Zhang Lingfeng scratched the back of his head.

"Play?"

This word seemed quite unfamiliar to Qin Wanrong, who couldn’t help but reprimand, "The ambition of a true man should be like the Yangtze River rushing eastward to the sea; how could he be distracted by trifles!"

"As you say."

Zhang Lingfeng did not argue.

The members of the Qin family were full of vigor, each a genius in cultivation; obviously, no one would be lost in debauchery, forgetting their heavy responsibilities.

"So, what have you decided?"

Qin Wanrong asked.

"My body is frail and can’t withstand the strain, so I’ll pass."

Zhang Lingfeng said helplessly.

"What did you say?"

Qin Wanrong had expected Zhang Lingfeng to be overwhelmed with gratitude, kneeling and swearing eternal loyalty to the Qin family, serving them single-mindedly, living and dying as part of the Qin family.

Who would have expected that he would refuse with a simple excuse of frail health?

This was perhaps the first time the Qin family wanted to recruit someone, only to be rejected.

"Uh, I’m afraid of holding the Qin family back, so I’ll pass."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

Seeing Qin Wanrong’s furious expression with even a hint of killing intent, he couldn’t help but change his tone.

"How dare you!"

Qin Wanrong was enraged; Zhang Lingfeng truly dared to reject the Qin family, where did he get the nerve.

"What are you up to?"

Zhang Lingfeng quickly retreated.

The oppressive feeling from Qin Wanrong was much stronger than from Qin Qianyu, whose Dantian was full and Sea of Qi at perfection, yet had not awakened a spiritual root. Qin Wanrong, being a few years older than Qin Qianyu, had such a powerful aura, she was possibly a genuine Realm Traveler.

His own little bit of Dao practice wasn’t enough to stand against her.

However, he was still in Guanghai Province and had ranked second in this national exam, so Qin Wanrong shouldn’t be a big deal; yet thinking of the depth and strength of the Qin family, if he really angered them and got himself killed, Qin Wanrong might not face consequences.

So he was always ready to flee.

As long as he left the treatment room, Qin Wanrong couldn’t do anything to him; and worst case, Ao Dagang was outside to help handle the situation.

"Do you think that if given a few more years, you could defeat my brother, or even achieve better results in the continental exam than my brother?"

Qin Wanrong questioned.

"No, nothing like that."

Zhang Lingfeng waved his hands quickly.

"Hmph, bold in thought but cowardly in action, coward."

Qin Wanrong looked disdainful, especially seeing Zhang Lingfeng’s fear-stricken face. She couldn’t help crossing her arms and mocking, "If it weren’t for our Qin family giving you a vial of Demon God Blood, do you think your physical fitness could break through 1000.0 at a critical moment, successfully opening the Eighth Layer Dharma Aspect? Without the Eighth Layer Dharma Aspect as support, even if you have the Spiritual Demon Realm, your power wouldn’t connect with the real world, do you understand?"

"Dang!"

Zhang Lingfeng’s pocket split open, and a bottle fell out.

It was the vial of Demon God Blood given by the Qin family.

Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly stepped on it, swearing that it wasn’t intentional; it truly was because the pocket split open, his guard against Qin Wanrong was too high that he didn’t notice the Demon God Blood.

To avoid angering this young lady, he quickly stepped on it.

Pretending to know nothing.

"Lift your foot."

But Qin Wanrong had seen it; with her power, everything in the treatment room was within her perception.

Zhang Lingfeng had no choice but to lift his foot.

Qin Wanrong immediately saw a complete vial of Demon God Blood, labeled with the Qin family symbol.

She widened her eyes, couldn’t help but reach out and grab it from a distance; the power of heaven and earth in her hands transformed into a tentacle, manifesting physically, pulling the vial of Demon God Blood into her hands.

Examining it closely.

It indeed was the Qin family’s Demon God Blood.

"You haven’t drunk it?"

Qin Wanrong widened her eyes in disbelief.

"I don’t dare to drink it, fearing I wouldn’t know how to repay the Qin family."

Zhang Lingfeng raised his hands, looking innocent and frightened.
