Chapter 10: The Dream of Cold Wind

  Leng Feng brought Su Qingchen to a small grove outside the city, and they sat down with their backs against a large tree. Leng Feng looked up at the sky, let out a bitter laugh, and said, "The Gale Mercenary Group won't be able to protect you this time. After school starts, just stay in the academy and don't come out. With time, they'll forget about you."

  Su Qingchen looked up at Leng Feng, a look of disdain on her face. "Leng Feng uncle, what are you talking about? Don't ruin your perfect image in my heart."

  Leng Feng reached out and touched Su Qingchen's bald head, "Youngster, you don't know the severity of the situation. The man from earlier was at least a high-ranking Spiritual Cultivator, and his soul spirit is extremely sinister. He shouldn't be someone from Blue Feather Nation's forces. This time, the Skull Mercenary Group dares to be so arrogant, they must have made all necessary preparations."

  Su Qingchen furrowed his brow, and his mood also became heavy. He didn't think the situation would be so dangerous. No wonder even the always confident Leng Feng would say such helpless words. Su Qingchen smiled "Leng Feng uncle, what's there to fear? It's just a high-ranking Spirit Sect, come ten or eight more, it's all the same, one head and one soul spirit. If they dare to come, we'll dare to fight back, who knows who will disappear in Yu Luo City."

  A cold face revealed a smile, and Cold Wind turned to look at Su Qingchen, patting his shoulder. "Kid, not bad, I didn't misjudge you, what you said is right, who knows who will disappear in Feather Falling City?" After Cold Wind finished speaking, the two of them shared a laugh, relieving the oppressive atmosphere.

  "Little kid, do you know why I can attack so quickly and kill opponents of the same rank in an instant?" Cold Wind asked solemnly, turning to Su Qingchen.

  "Shouldn't it be related to your Soul Decision cultivation?" Su Qingchen said without much thought.

  "It's not all about the soul scripture, if my soul wasn't a dagger and I hadn't been training my attack speed since I was young, even if I had obtained that soul scripture two years ago, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." Cold Wind said, his face revealing a serious expression, pausing for a moment before continuing "Having a good soul scripture also requires diligent practice to bring out its amazing attacking power."

  Su Qingchen nodded, but before he could speak, Cold Wind continued, "Your talent is absolutely stronger than mine, I just don't know about your perseverance. Looking at your third-level Spirit Master cultivation, I'll have to whip you into shape properly. Otherwise, my Soul Decree will be humiliated in your hands."

  Su Qingchen was about to make an excuse for herself, but her mind went blank and she couldn't help but ask, "Leng Feng Shu, what's going on? You're not thinking that..."

  "What? You don't want to learn?" Cold Wind said, and Su Qingchen suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed Cold Wind's shoulder with one hand. "Uncle Cold Wind, you're too good, really worthy of being my idol, I love you to death."

  Leng Feng furrowed his brow, clearly taken aback by Su Qingchen's sudden excitement. After a moment, he stood up, brushed off the dirt on his clothes, and said, "You little scamp, what's the hurry? This is something that needs to be changed - you can't let your emotions show, or else others will see right through you and take advantage of you. Do you understand?"

  Su Qingchen stood still, smiling at the cold wind, nodded and said "Uncle, I understand."

  "I'll give you a general introduction to this soul skill. It's called 'Assassinate the Wind', and it cultivates speed, attacking routes, but doesn't increase any attack power. It belongs to the assassin-type attacking soul skills. When using Assassinate the Wind, one must catch the enemy off guard and attack when they're not prepared."

  After the cold wind introduction, before Su Qingchen had time to react, Hun Jue appeared in his palm, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from Su Qingchen's sight like an arrow leaving a bowstring. When he reappeared, a giant tree hundreds of meters away, which required two people to hug it, was already tilting and beginning to fall.

  Su Qing took a deep breath, calming herself down. Although she had seen Leng Feng's moves before, this was the first time she saw them up close. If that attack earlier was aimed at her, she would have died without knowing how.

  Leng Feng told Su Qingchen his training method and had him practice a move before school started, which was to continuously attack a large tree 100 meters away without stopping, but only lightly touch it without causing harm. The most important thing was that he must complete the Blinking Eye Technique.

  Su Qingchen smiled wryly and began his mechanical training. At first, in order to reach the required speed, he repeatedly collided with a large tree in the small forest outside the city, one after another, until all the trees fell down, which made the woodcutting servants of the big families in the city laugh.

  Leng Feng made such a request of Su Qingchen, merely wanting to temper Su Qingchen's willpower and didn't expect him to complete the task within three days. He believed that Su Qingchen was absolutely a cultivation genius, and his low cultivation level must be due to his laziness and lack of diligent practice. Therefore, he first wanted to temper Su Qingchen's endurance, making him understand that even with great talent, one needs to work hard and cultivate diligently.

  In just three short days, Leng Feng's heart, which had not been stirred for many years, was unable to calm down for a long time. Su Qingchen had already brought him too many surprises. He practiced hard for three days and didn't let Leng Feng urge him even once. Every time he got tired, he would rest for a while before continuing to practice. There wasn't a single complaint or instance of laziness.

  On the first night, Su Qingchen would knock down a large tree with each strike. On the second day, during the daytime, Su Qingchen could only knock down one large tree after several attacks. By the third day, during the daytime, Su Qingchen's attack speed had reached a point where he could leave only a mark on the large tree, and his control over his attacks was already proficient.

  In the last afternoon, Su Qingchen surprisingly succeeded in doing so, blinking his eyes to attack a large tree 100 meters away, just lightly touching it without causing any damage, not even dropping a single leaf.

  At first, Leng Feng completed this move after months of bitter practice, while Su Qingchen only used three days. Such talent, such temperament, and such leadership ability are worthy of being called a genius. Leng Feng was excited in his heart, it seems that the Difeng Mercenary Corps has hope for salvation, as long as he is given time, this kid will definitely reach the Soul Master realm, or even higher. At that time, let alone a mercenary corps, establishing a mercenary empire would not be difficult.

  The cold wind made up his mind, from now on he will definitely cultivate Su Qingchen with all his might, his own dreams depend on him, and he must prove it to Grandpa, even if there is no inheritance of the soul, no family help, Leng Feng can still succeed.

  Leng Feng didn't say much, his cold and stern face showed no expression. He didn't praise Su Qingchen at all, but simply said in a light tone, "Let's go, school has started, I'll send you to school."

  Su Qingchen furrowed her brow, thinking that she would be rewarded for completing the task, but who knew that Leng Feng would put on a bitter face again. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Is it because I didn't do well enough? It seems like I need to practice more in the future and strive to successfully cultivate the Wind Ling as soon as possible."

  Feng Ling has three realms in total. The first realm is: Mastering the wind direction, eliminating resistance to zero, and increasing speed to the limit. During the attack process, it can continuously change routes, making the attack unpredictable and achieving an unexpected effect.

  Second Boundary: Coordinate with other attacking soul techniques, increasing attack speed and damage.

  Third Boundary: Fuses other attacking soul techniques, allowing for flexible control over attacks and changing their trajectory at will, while also increasing attack power.

  Su Qingchen had great admiration for the person who created this soul technique. This Wind Ling was completely worthy of being called an auxiliary skill, it was simply too powerful. However, even a Great Spirit Master like Leng Feng could only cultivate the first realm, and the second realm was impossible to comprehend, he couldn't find the way no matter how hard he tried.

  Su Qingchen patted the dirt off his body, preparing to follow Leng Feng to the academy. However, upon smelling the odor on himself, he wrinkled his nose and jumped into a small river beside a grove of trees to wash up. After changing into a new set of clothes, he got out of the water and originally wanted to tidy himself up to go flirt with girls at the academy. Unfortunately, thinking about his bald head made him let out a helpless sigh.

  Under the gaze of the cold wind, Su Qingchen touched his own little bald head and chuckled "Finally grew some hair, looks like my handsome appearance is coming back." After saying that, he walked forward with a smile.

  They soon arrived at the entrance of Stan Academy, where there were not many people, only about a third of the number before registration. However, there were many luxurious carriages and middle-aged men who looked like they had come to send their children to school. Su Qingchen curled her lip in disdain, revealing a look of contempt in her eyes. She nodded at Leng Feng and walked into the academy.

  The cold wind watched Su Qingchen enter the academy, and in his heart, he couldn't help but say, "Kid, go for it! All my hopes are pinned on you now."

  When the cold wind turned and left, the big guy at the entrance of Skull Gate appeared at the entrance of Stan Academy. He patted the shoulder of a young man beside him "Did you see that kid? Find an opportunity to get rid of him for me, no matter what means." After finishing, he sneered twice and disappeared into the crowd.

  Su Qingchen paid thirty gold coins for tuition and accommodation at the registration office, received some daily necessities, and then followed the direction of the old man who took the money to point, searched for half a day, and finally found the poor dormitory in the corner of the college.

  Standing at the entrance of her dormitory, Su Qingchen kicked open the door with one foot. When she smelled the pungent smell that came rushing in, Su Qingchen almost fainted. What kind of dormitory was this? It was even more smelly than a sewer.

  Su Qingchen took a few deep breaths at the door, put down her daily necessities, and rushed into the dormitory at the fastest speed. She threw out all the smelly shoes and socks that were scattered around the room with lightning speed, and opened all the places that could be ventilated.

  At around the time Su Qingchen finished cleaning, several young men who were about the same age as Su Qingchen walked in. When they saw the relatively clean and tidy dormitory, one of them opened his mouth in surprise and said, "I remember someone telling me that the commoner freshmen's dormitory was a pigsty within a pigsty, with a stench that filled the air. Did we take a wrong turn?"

  "If you had come ten minutes earlier, maybe you would have seen what the legendary pigsty looks like and smelled how smelly it is." Su Qingchen sighed after finishing speaking, lowered his head and continued to tidy up his bed.

  Three people outside the door walked into the dormitory, put down their luggage and started tidying up their beds. Half an hour later, everyone had finished cleaning up, and the dormitory was refreshed and finally looked like a place where people lived.

  The boy who spoke as soon as he entered walked to Su Qingchen's side, patted Su Qingchen's shoulder and said "Hello, my name is Wang Xing, I'm a student from the ordinary class."

  Su Qingchen stood up, took a good look at the young man in front of her, his slender figure and square-shaped face gave people the first impression that he looked like a monkey. Su Qingchen smiled "Hello, my name is Su Qingchen, we're in the same situation, let's take care of each other from now on."

  Then the other two also introduced each other, one fat guy named Liu Yun, and a tall guy named Zhu Ming. After everyone got to know each other, we went back to our dormitory and started talking about the beauties in our college. Just as we were getting into it, "Bang", the door of our dormitory was kicked open.
