Chapter Fourteen Entering the Mountain

  That night, Lin Feng had a series of strange and bizarre dreams, each one featuring a beautiful girl in a purple dress.

  The next morning, when Lin Feng got up, his father Lin Heng was already standing in the yard.

  Lin Heng's whiskers were neatly trimmed, and he stood there in a green robe, smiling at Lin Feng: "Feng'er, you're awake?"

  Looking at his father's majestic appearance, Lin Feng also smiled.

  His father was supposed to be like this!

  "Let's go!"

  Lin Heng took Lin Feng out of the blacksmith's shop and strode towards the outskirts of the town.

  There were already many pedestrians on the street. Seeing that majestic and powerful man in a green shirt, they were shocked and their faces showed reverence.

  They knew that the strongest man in Hei Shi Town had finally stood up again!

  Although he lost an arm, as long as he puts down his wine jug, he is still the strongest in Blackstone Town! No one can match him!

  As they passed by the town head's house, several horse-drawn carriages were parked at the entrance, and people from Wang Lang's family were moving things out of the house. Wang Lang and his son Wang Hu stood in front of the carriages.

  The Wang family has been in charge of this town for hundreds of years, but now they have been driven out of Blackstone Town because of a single sentence from Ye Zi!

  Seeing Lin Feng appear, Wang Hu's vicious gaze swept over, and Wang Lang looked at Lin Heng, slightly stunned, but lowered his head.

  In response to Wang Hu's resentful gaze, Lin Feng disdainfully curled his lip and vigorously waved his fist at Wang Lang.

  I won't die, you will! This is Lin Feng's oath, and this oath must also have a day to fulfill...

  ……

  Lin Feng followed his father out of Heishi Town and into the vast mountains.

  After walking for more than two hours, Lin Heng finally stopped after leaving Heishi Town tens of miles away.

  This is a valley surrounded by mountains, with a secluded pool in the valley. There are three stone houses beside the pool, and a stone platform of about ten to twenty square meters. Beside the stone house, there is also a patch of bamboo forest, and the environment is extremely elegant.

  Inside the stone house, there are pots, bowls, and basins, all complete, and even fresh grain.

  "Father, where is this place?" Standing at the stone house door, looking around at the dense thicket, Lin Feng asked curiously.

  "This is where I've chosen for you to practice your boxing! It's been a long time since I've come here myself. The things inside, I had them sent over last night." Lin Heng said with a smile.

  "A strong person not only needs to have power, but also the ability to use their power correctly. Without the tempering of battle, having power is nothing more than a waste. Back when I joined the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, I too had trained here."

  "Hu Xing Quan is a type of beast fist, apart from physical training, it's also a fighting method. To grasp its essence, one must naturally exchange hands with a real fierce tiger!"

  "Maple, your tiger-shaped fist was taught by me, so the moves are naturally flawless. However, real-life experience of fighting for life and death is almost non-existent. This way, you can't be considered a master, let alone go to the battlefield. So, for this half year, you will stay here and bitterly cultivate yourself in battle!"

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded.

  But Lin Feng was puzzled again: "Here... it seems there are no tigers or leopards! It's really strange, leaving Blackstone Town for so long, this should be the area where fierce beasts appear!"

  Lin Heng smiled faintly and said: "There is too much killing intent on me, the fierce beasts can sense my aura, they don't dare to make a sound."

  Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly as he looked at his father, thinking to himself when he could be like his father, where just a breath would make fierce beasts retreat.

  "You stay here, I'll go catch a young tiger for you to fight!" Lin Heng ordered, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared.

  A moment later, Lin Heng returned, holding a young tiger in his hand and threw it in front of Lin Feng.

  "Roar!" Behind Lin Heng, a giant tigress followed from afar, letting out low and mournful growls at the edge of the stone platform, yet not daring to come closer.

  This young tiger, also weighing over 200 pounds, was thrown down and immediately ran back to the mother tiger.

  "Hmph!" Lin Heng's face turned cold, and he let out a chilly snort. The young tiger's body trembled, almost collapsing to the ground.

  "Defeat this human and you can leave!" Lin Heng pointed at Lin Feng, saying to the young tiger with a serious tone.

  Lin Feng sneered, could this guy understand?

  The young tiger seemed to understand Lin Heng's meaning, let out a low growl, turned around and charged towards Lin Feng without hesitation!

  Lin Feng suddenly stomped the ground, his muscles tensed up instantly, and he shot forward like lightning. His right fist accelerated rapidly, a tiger's roar burst out, and smashed towards the young tiger's face!

  "Bang!" The iron fist heavily smashed onto the young tiger's forehead, and the young tiger let out a miserable howl, flying backward and rolling on the ground.

  "Father, this is a bit too weak!" Lin Feng said with a wave of his fist.

  Lin Heng's face turned pale, and he coldly snorted: "Feng Er, with such a full-force attack, how many consecutive attacks can you make?"

  Lin Feng thought for a moment, scratched his head and said: "To think of throwing another punch like that, I'll need to take a few breaths first!"

  "You just punched with all your might, with a force of over 600 pounds. I ask you, how much strength would be enough to defeat this young tiger?" Lin Heng asked again.

  "... 300 catties of strength is enough!" Lin Feng's face showed a hint of shame.

  "With a punch of 600 pounds of force, you can only throw one punch and then need to rest. With a punch of over 300 pounds of force, you can continuously throw dozens of punches without getting tired. If every punch is a full-force attack, you can defeat at most three or five such young tigers, but with just 300 pounds of force, even if you encounter dozens of such young tigers, you don't need to be afraid!"

  Lin Heng said in a deep voice, "The Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry is an army. In the future, you will face not one or two opponents, but a large number of enemies! These enemies may be weaker than you individually, but if there are too many of them, they can still wear you down to death! So the reasonable use of strength is extremely important! If you can use less strength, then don't use more. Remember?"

  "I understand, Father!" Lin Feng nodded and said.

  War is not a solo fight, everyone will feel tired. Facing a large number of low-level opponents, preserving strength is extremely important.

  "Besides!" Lin Heng said with a serious face, "If you don't conserve your strength, by the time you defeat the opponent's low-level warriors, another high-level warrior will come out, and that would be extremely dangerous! High-level warriors often play a crucial role in the later stages of battle! So you mustn't waste too much energy on low-level opponents!"

  Lin Feng nodded again, his father's experience was all exchanged with blood in countless battles.

  Lin Heng pointed at the giant tigress that was roaring incessantly in the distance and asked, "Now, do you have confidence to fight it?"

  Lin Feng thought for a moment before saying dejectedly: "I'm no match for him."

  But Lin Feng immediately said with a disgruntled tone, "Just wait until my strength recovers to the third level of Tiger Form Fist, and I'll be able to defend myself in front of it. If I recover to the fourth level of Tiger Form Fist, I'll be able to crush it!"

  Lin Hengdao said: "If you were to face it now, what would you do?"

  "Run!" Lin Feng replied without hesitation.

  "What if I couldn't run away?"

  "Well, in that case, let's just go for it!" Lin Feng clenched his fists.

  "No, we have to run even if we can't!" Lin Heng said solemnly, "Remember, never give up hope, never give up. Keep running, and there's a chance of survival. Who knows, someone might pass by and rescue you?"

  "Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded again. His father's experience, he naturally believed in.

  "Maple, what if you were on a battlefield and encountered an opponent as unstoppable as this giant tiger?" Lin Heng asked again.

  "......That's no good, let's run away!" Lin Feng scratched his head and hesitated.

  Running away from the battlefield, isn't that a deserter? Everywhere, deserters are ridiculed.

  Looking at Lin Feng's entangled expression, Lin Heng also smiled: "On the battlefield, it depends on the situation! If our side has a large number of people and hopes to grind the opponent to death, then we will naturally fight to the death, using our own deaths to consume the opponent's strength and create conditions for victory. If our side has strong reinforcements coming, then even if there are not enough people, we must fight to the death to entangle the enemy. If there are few people and no reinforcements, then it is natural to escape, one can escape is one."

  Lin Feng was even more confused: "Father, then on the battlefield, how can we judge whether we can wear down the enemy or not, and whether there are strong reinforcements arriving?"

  Lin Heng smiled and said: "Adapt to changing circumstances!"
