Chapter 35: The Su Siblings Seek to Collect Fresh Flowers

  Ink black night, in the sky there is only starlight twinkling.

  By the brook, there was a bonfire. A slender boy sat beside the fire, eyes closed in contemplation.

  It was already December, and the night air was cold and damp. The young man wore only a single layer of clothing, but he didn't feel cold at all.

  Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes and gently spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

  "We're almost at Luoyun City! I wonder if we'll have a chance to see her?"

  Compared to half a year ago, Lin Feng is now half a head taller and his shoulders are also much wider. All of this has an extremely great relationship with the increase in his strength, and of course the solid foundation cultivating elixir that his father prepared for him also played a significant role.

  Lin Feng has shed his youthful immaturity and now appears steady and composed.

  "This time I must pass the test of Luoyun Sect and become a member of Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry!" Lin Feng clenched his fist lightly.

  Although he already has the strength of Tiger Fist Sixth Form, he still dares not to be careless.

  ……

  The selection test for the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry held by the Lu Yun Sect is divided into two sessions per year, one on June 8 and the other on December 8.

  The requirement for the candidate is to be fourteen years old. Of course, this is not an exact age, after all, people born on these two days are rare. The rule of the Luoyun Sect is that you can choose any day within these two days to take the test, as long as you have not exceeded half a year beyond 14 years old.

  For example, Lin Feng's birthday is October 13th, the same month and day as Ye Zi but different years. Therefore, he chose to participate in the test on December 8th. At that time, his age was already over 14 years old.

  As for the accurate age of the participants in the test, Luoyun Sect has its own way to judge.

  At present, Lin Feng's surface strength is the sixth heavy tiger shape fist, with a power of 8,000 kilograms. With the support of Zhuque Wanxiang Gong, his limit attack is three times that of the surface, and his powerful perception ability is far beyond the level. However, these are obviously not available in the test to join Luoyun Sect, which would certainly expose his secret.

  So he can use only eight thousand pounds of strength.

  The number of places for Xuan Jia's heavy cavalry is extremely limited every year, and it's not just about strength, so Lin Feng doesn't dare guarantee that he can pass the test.

  "Continue to cultivate!" Lin Feng started practicing his Tiger Form Fist again beside the bonfire.

  As for cultivation, he didn't dare to slack off at all. He knew that his current strength was still not a match for Ye Zi, let alone protecting Ye Zi.

  To stand in front of her like a man, you must have even greater power!

  After practicing boxing for a while, Lin Feng felt something in his heart and sat back down on the ground, crossing his legs to meditate...

  After midnight, Lin Feng finally fell asleep soundly by the bonfire. He rested for only two hours before getting up on time, shaking off his sleepiness, extinguishing the bonfire, and heading in the direction of Luoyun City.

  From the moment he left the valley, Lin Feng had been doing this every day, traveling during the day and resting to cultivate at night. The time spent cultivating took up more than half of his daily routine.

  With his current strength, walking freely on the Grand Dao at a speed like a galloping horse, arriving in Luoyun City before the eighth day of the last month of the lunar year would be no problem at all.

  On the fifth day of leaving the valley, he had already entered the territory of Qingyun County. Qingyun County was where Luoyun Sect was located, and when he arrived here, Luoyun City was not far away.

  Arriving here, there are also many pedestrians on the road, and there are not a few strong people with strong breath. Those young boys who have reached the fourth heavy tiger shape fist at a young age must be going to Luoyun City to take the test.

  Lin Feng was speeding along the main road when he suddenly furrowed his brow and stopped in his tracks.

  His perceptual ability far exceeded his level, and he could clearly feel that someone was fighting not far away. Judging from the scattered breath, it should be a strong fourth-level tiger-shaped fist.

  "Go take a look!" Lin Feng immediately turned around and headed towards the mountain forest by the side of the road.

  In the mountains and forests.

  "You despicable people! We'll take you down, you current generation!" A young man in luxurious clothing shouted angrily, swinging his heavy sword with all his might to resist the enemy's attack. Beside him was a beautiful girl wearing a pale green dress, also wielding a long sword and gritting her teeth in a desperate struggle.

  Attacking them were three robust middle-aged men. Three battle knives gleamed in the light, surrounding the young couple in the center.

  "We are the young masters of the Qingyan Castle Su family, my father is the master of Qingyan Castle! You dare to harm me, my father will not let you off!" The youth shouted loudly, with sweat beading on his forehead.

  "The son of the lord of Qingyan Castle? I'm so scared!" A burly man with a curly beard laughed loudly, "Your father won't let us off? Tell me, do you know who we are?"

  "Haha!" The other two big men also burst out laughing.

  The young man gritted his teeth and struggled bitterly. At this time, he was also secretly regretful, why did he listen to the three people's sweet words and come to this desolate place!

  The fourth heavy punch of the tiger-shaped fist gave him extreme confidence in himself, and with the three men's honest-looking faces, he didn't doubt their words at all.

  "Sui Yan gege, we two are really foolish!" The green-shirted maiden swung her sword to deflect a middle-aged man's war knife and said with regret.

  "Ying'er sister, I didn't expect it either!" The young man said with a bitter smile.

  He and the girl left Qingyan Castle together to participate in the Luoyun Sect test on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. After entering the territory of Qingyun County, they met these three middle-aged people.

  Three people first flattered him and Su Ying, calling him a young hero with unlimited prospects. They also said that they had discovered a den of strange beasts in the nearby mountains and needed help to surround and kill them, promising to split the benefits equally. This place was already in Qingyun County, the closest place to Luoyun City, and the two people never thought they would encounter villains here. After being flattered by the other party, they followed the three people to this place. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly turned against them and directly attacked the two of them.

  Similarly, the fourth heavy punch of Hu Xingquan's strength, with three against two, the three middle-aged men quickly took the upper hand. Su Yan and Su Ying could only barely hold on and had no way to escape.

  "Little kid, it doesn't matter if I tell you," the bearded man chuckled and said. "We three are the leaders of the local White Horse Gang. Every year when the Luoyun Sect is tested, we make a big fortune twice like this. You rich kids don't know anything but come out alone, die at our hands, and it's not anyone else's fault. Killing you will get us enough wealth to live comfortably for a while, haha!"

  "Hahaha!" The other two big men also burst out laughing.

  "Stop arguing with them, let's settle this quickly!" the bearded man shouted.

  The three of them suddenly accelerated their offense, and in an instant, Su Yan's brother and sister were surrounded by danger. Su Yan was even cut on the thigh with a knife, and instantly bloodied, while Su Ying's shoulder also took a hit.

  "It's all over!" Both of them were utterly desperate.

  Suddenly——

  A figure flashed, a young man emerged from the mountain forest, his eyes full of coldness, one leg kicked towards the bearded man like a whip. This kick was as fast as lightning, and the bearded man had no time to dodge, he was directly kicked into the air, with blood spraying wildly, it seemed that he would not survive.

  The other two middle-aged men's faces changed drastically, this young man's strength was simply too strong, and it was not something they could handle.

  "This hero——" A middle-aged man reacted and hurriedly clasped his fists, saying "I don't know who you are——"

  "Bandits deserve to die!" The young man didn't give the two a chance to speak, and with lightning-fast fists, he struck the two middle-aged men. The two let out a miserable cry, both were knocked so hard that their chests caved in, and they fell backwards, instantly losing all signs of life.

  "Thank you so much, big brother, for your help! My siblings and I are eternally grateful!" Su Yan said with a deep bow, his heart still racing from the close call. Su Ying also quickly bowed in gratitude.

  "No need to be polite!" The young man smiled faintly. "I was passing by and saw these three rascals robbing you, so I took care of them on the spot."

  "My name is Su Yan, and this is my cousin Su Ying. I don't know who you are, big brother..." Su Yan continued to say.

  "Lin Feng." The young man smiled and said.

  Lin Feng had sensed the fighting aura from the mountain forest by the roadside, and when he arrived, he found that it was a group of mountain bandits robbing people. As a young man with a strong sense of justice, especially after experiencing the Blackstone Town incident, he naturally hated the mountain bandits to the extreme and wouldn't ignore them. With his Tiger Form Fist sixth level strength, killing a few fourth-level Tiger Form Fist mountain bandits was simply effortless.

  The name of the Bai Ma Gang in Qingyun County, Lin Feng had also heard from Lin Heng. The Luoyun Sect only roughly controlled its own sphere of influence and did not ask about the struggles between forces within its borders, nor would it bother with mountain bandits. So even in Qingyun County near Luoyun City, mountain bandits existed. However, when the mountain bandits encountered Lin Feng, they were naturally unlucky.

  "Lin Feng is really formidable! Even Su Yan and I together can't beat them, but Lin Feng took care of them with just one move!" Su Ying looked at Lin Feng with a face full of admiration and said, "Is Lin Feng also going to participate in the Laba test? What level of strength does Lin Feng have?"

  "The Sixth Form of Tiger Fist." Lin Feng said matter-of-factly.

  The Su siblings were instantly speechless.

  "Hehe. You two should hurry up and bandage your wounds!" Lin Feng smiled, "If you delay, it will affect this test."

  The two of them finally came to their senses and felt that the wound was extremely painful. They couldn't help but take a deep breath in reverse.

  Fortunately, they were only flesh wounds and not life-threatening. The two of them hastily applied medicine to the wounds and carefully bandaged them, finally feeling a sense of relief.

  "Let's go, I'll see you off to the main road." Lin Feng said.

  "Didn't Lin Feng also go to Luoyun City? Why can't the three of us travel together?" Su Ying's beautiful eyes sparkled as she blinked cutely.

  Su Yan cleared his throat and thought to himself, "Isn't this obviously asking for protection?" He was a man after all, and such words couldn't be spoken out loud. Moreover, although the other person was young, he was indeed a powerful figure. Powerful people often had bad tempers, and Su Yan didn't dare provoke him into anger.

  It will take at least two or three more days to reach Luoyun City. If they can travel with this stranger, it would be a blessing for both of them.

  "Alright then." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

  "Great!" Su Ying happily jumped up, moving the injury on her shoulder, and immediately frowned with pain.

  Lin Feng also smiled lightly.

  The three of them headed in the direction of the main road, Su Yan's injury was on his thigh, making it inconvenient for him to walk. When they arrived at the nearest village, Su Yan also hired a horse carriage at a high price, and the three of them set off together towards Luoyun City.
