Time flew by, and one month later.
In a small forest, Feng Yun slowly ended the Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique and stood quietly. His eyelids drooped slightly, and with each breath, his lower abdomen gently expanded and contracted. A white qi wave shot from his mouth like sword energy, dissipating half a meter away...
After a moment, he lifted his eyes, which flashed with a faint light, though it vanished the next instant.
"Soon... I'm about to break through to junior preparatory Warrior."
Feng Yun felt the fluctuations of his vitality and thought secretly.
He was building his foundation using Ferocious Beast blood and flesh — something even family disciples couldn't easily enjoy. Only true family heirs in the inner city had such resources.
"Time to head back."
Feng Yun glanced at the sky, tidied up a bit, then returned to Shuguang Welfare Institute.
At the entrance, he saw a young man smoking and staring at the institute, seemingly lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps, the young man looked up. His clean face was marked by a prominent scar, with neat short hair, wearing a simple leather jacket.
"Feng Yun, long time no see."
"It's been a few months."
Feng Yun nodded in reply.
This young man was Feng Yuxu, also from the Welfare Institute, but he had long since left and joined an underground organization called the 'Liuyun Society,' essentially a gang similar to those on Feng Yun's Earth.
Feng Yuxu was doing fairly well there, learned some martial arts, became a small leader, and often protected the Welfare Institute from hooligans and thugs.
The base outskirts had poor security; law enforcement usually ignored the area unless major incidents occurred.
So Feng Yun had a decent attitude toward Feng Yuxu—at least he was loyal and hadn't forgotten where he came from.
"Want to come in and sit?" Feng Yun invited.
"No, thanks." Feng Yuxu shook his head with a bitter smile. "You know the director never looks kindly on me."
The director saw Feng Yuxu's gang involvement as going down the wrong path.
Looking Feng Yun up and down, Feng Yuxu said, "I heard you got into the Martial Arts Academy. When I have time, I'll teach you a few moves, make you stand out among classmates."
You wouldn't beat me now anyway... Feng Yun thought silently.
After some small talk, Feng Yun returned inside the Welfare Institute, where the director, Feng Xiaolan, and a dozen kids were already waiting.
"Welcome back."
The director was a kind woman who looked weathered beyond her 30s or 40s, like she'd seen many hardships.
"Mm."
Feng Yun nodded. The kids were eager for dinner.
After dinner, Feng Yun retreated to his room and entered mirror space to challenge the Black Gold Vulture and Lin Qiang projections in turn.
[Victory over Black Gold Vulture Projection!]
[Drop]: None
[Victory over Lin Qiang Projection!]
[Drop]: None
...
[Victory over Black Gold Vulture Projection!]
[Drop]: None
[Victory over Lin Qiang Projection!]
[Drop]: Low-level Gold System Talent
Hmm?
Seeing the prompt, Feng Yun's face lit up with joy — finally he had dropped an Attribute Talent!
The most valuable thing on Lin Qiang was this low-level Gold System Talent.
After farming for over a month, he finally got it.
"Extract?"
"Extract!"
Without hesitation, Feng Yun chose to extract it.
[Extracting low-level Gold System Talent... Extracting... Success!]
Buzz!
A golden light burst forth, exploding in Feng Yun's mind. He immediately felt something merge into his body.
Then faintly, he sensed an intangible connection to the outside world, hazy and unclear.
"Looks like the low-level Gold System Talent fusion succeeded..."
Aside from that, he felt no other major changes. However, when circulating his vitality and generating force, he noticed the force was sharper than before.
"This must be the initial change."
He was not surprised. He had heard that Attributes only fully manifested at the Warrior realm when cultivating Attribute Cultivation Arts; early stages were less obvious.
But the sharper force definitely increased his combat power.
"There's also a low-level Wind System Talent."
Feng Yun targeted the Wind System Talent from the Black Gold Vulture. Once extracted and fused, he would have two Attribute Talents.
Once reaching Warrior level, he would far surpass ordinary Warriors.
Just thinking about it made him smile.
...
In the following days, Feng Yun threw himself into hard training. With a golden finger, slacking off was wasteful.
Finally, one night a month later, he successfully broke through to junior preparatory Warrior.
"The low-level preparatory Warrior produces force power; any punch can deliver full-body strength. The junior preparatory Warrior toughens the skin like a drum—ordinary weapons can no longer harm you, and strength increases. The senior preparatory Warrior strengthens tendons and bones..."
Feng Yun looked at his skin—whiter and more elastic than before. When circulating vitality, his skin bulged to form defense.
"Good, stronger again."
Feng Yun clenched his fist with satisfaction. The feeling of getting stronger was addictive.
Because he had delayed a bit, it was already quite dark when he left the small forest.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw several figures darting out of a fork ahead—one running desperately, three chasing with gleaming cold machetes. The cold, dark night echoed with scattered footsteps.
Hmm?
Feng Yun originally ignored it—such incidents were common in the base outskirts.
But then, by moonlight, he instantly recognized the runner as Feng Yuxu, whom he had met a month ago!
