Gou Zai Gaowu Shijie Cheng Shen

Chapter 217: He was the one who attacked first, right?
After returning home, Xu Feng first helped Xiao Dan complete her daily training.

Then, after she went to do her homework, he walked out of the yard.

"Ah Snake!"

Swish!
A dark shadow darted to Xu Feng's feet, wagging its tail and rubbing against his calf.

"I'm going to cultivate for a while and keep an eye on the courtyard, you know what I mean."

"Woo woo!" Ah She immediately sat upright at the doorway and nodded.

Then, Xu Feng glanced at Ah Kun, who was drying his fur on the eaves.

Ah Kun immediately chirped to indicate that he had received the message.

Then, Xu Feng walked to a corner of the yard and called out, "Little White!"

Swish!
"Squeak-"

Little White emerged from underground, its head covered in dirt.

"How's the basement digging going?"

Xu Feng asked curiously.

"Squeak squeak!"

Xiao Bai talked for a long time, gesturing wildly.

"Three bedrooms and one living room, roughly completed, ventilation channel, still under finishing touches."

Xu Feng nodded: "Good, continue, try to set up more escape routes according to the blueprints I gave you."

"Squeak!"

After checking Xiaobai's homework, Xu Feng returned to the house, entered the martial arts room, and took out the Divine Fire Lotus.

The reason he ordered Xiaobai to dig the basement was because it was a whim of his one day.

Since arriving at Base Nine, I've had nightmares about the city falling more than once or twice.

Since there was no underground passage at home, Xu Feng always felt uncertain.

Previously, living in an apartment meant there were no suitable conditions.

Now, we live in a detached villa, and we have the means.

Since Xiaobai had nothing to do all day, we decided to give it something to do.

Turn your attention back to Baolian in front of you.

Xu Feng looked at it carefully.

This "Divine Fire Lotus" actually looks very ordinary.

It was just a red lotus seedpod, devoid of fire and showing no trace of "divine power".

But this ordinary plant is able to nourish the soul of a warrior at the level of a war god.

Nature is truly amazing.

Since this mission is very dangerous, we still need to make the necessary preparations beforehand.

It's time to eat this Divine Fire Lotus.

"This thing only eats lotus seeds? The lotus pods are not very effective? That's perfect, I'll leave them for the three beasts."

Xu Feng easily popped the lotus seed out and put it in his mouth.

He chewed it a couple of times like eating peanuts and then swallowed it.

After a while.

He felt as if his head was on fire.

A chill ran down his spine, and he vaguely felt as if he were in a blazing fire, being burned and tempered.

But at the same time.

The tiny flame in his mind began to gradually swell and grow stronger.

Besides the continued tempering of blood and qi, the most important aspect of reaching the God of War realm is the forging of the soul.

This applies to all levels of War Gods: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

The strength of one's spirit can be categorized by the power unleashed through the manipulation of objects.

The strength of the soul is not that simple.

Therefore, in order to clarify the cultivation progress of the God of War realm.

The official classification of "Spiritual Flame" into detailed levels based on its size and intensity is also detailed.

This is to make it easier for martial artists to recognize their own training progress.

The divine fire is divided into nine levels, simply distinguished by levels 1 to 9.

Each level corresponds to the "size" of the divine fire.

Level 1, as small as a bean.

Level 2 similar fruit.

Level 3, like a melon.

Level 4, like a wheel.

Level 5, as per the case.

Level 6, like a car.

Level 7, like a pool.

Level 8, like a lake.

Level 9, like the sea.

Of course, this division is only to let martial artists know their own progress in cultivation.

It doesn't have much practical significance.

It's something you can just "look at and forget".

Xu Feng's current Divine Fire Realm is at the Bean Realm, which is Level 1.

but.
Beans include mung beans, broad beans, and kidney beans.

Xu Feng, this bean, is the biggest of the broad bean category.

After taking Shenhuo Baolian, it can't even be called a "bean" anymore; it's more like a "date."

In this respect, spiritual practitioners have a significant innate advantage.

"call--"

As Xu Feng took a deep breath, the divine fire in his sea of ​​consciousness, like a stove fire that had been sucked out of its blaze, instantly became dazzlingly bright.

With each breath, the light flickered, gradually growing stronger.

evening.

When Xu Feng came out of the martial arts room, he saw Xiao Dan cooking in the kitchen.

"Huh? Where's your Aunt Huang?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Xiao Dan skillfully stirred the beef in the wok while saying to Xu Feng:

"She took the day off today. The old lady's son brought his girlfriend home today."

"Oh, Dad, could you pass me some chili peppers?"

Xu Feng smiled slightly, picked up the millet peppers that Xiao Dan had chopped from the table, and handed them to her.

The little girl took the chili peppers, poured them into the pot, stir-fried them a few times, and then scooped the dish out while holding the pot.

Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Oh my, two dishes and a soup, that's good."

As Xiao Dan carried the dishes out, she laughed and said, "Hehe, I just remembered that you used to forbid me from cooking."

Xu Feng smiled slightly and was about to speak when the doorbell rang.

"Hmm? Who could this be?"

Xiao Dan was surprised and was about to get up to open the door.

But Xu Feng stopped him, saying, "You eat, I'll go open the door."

He then turned and walked towards the door.

As he reached the door, Xu Feng glanced at the security camera: "Hmm? What's he doing here?"

crunch--

After opening the door, Li Wen stood outside and handed Xu Feng a box: "Your swordsmanship is powerful enough, but your moves are a bit crude."

This is the revised Baguazhang manual of my Li family.

Although your level is not high, if you can gain some understanding of it, it will make up for the deficiencies in your swordsmanship.

There are also some tutorial videos I recorded on the spot, I hope they will be helpful to you.

Xu Feng opened his mouth, looking at the other person with slight surprise: "Uh, what does this mean?"

Li Wen tilted his head, looking puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xu Feng was taken aback: "Why did you suddenly give me a secret manual?"

Li Wen said matter-of-factly, "Once you've made up for your shortcomings, we'll fight again."

"Just for this?" Xu Feng was even more shocked.

"Yes, that's why." Li Wen smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Xu Feng immediately stopped him: "Stay for dinner?"

Li Wen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Xu Feng scratched his head and invited him in.

This is a free secret manual?
Can I have a dozen friends like this?
He suddenly smiled, turned around and went into the house: "Xiao Dan, we have a guest. Bring out a set of dishes and chopsticks."

"Okay!" In the restaurant, Xiao Dan looked at Li Wen curiously, smiled and nodded, "Hello, Uncle."

Li Wen nodded slightly in response, "Hello."

Then, he glanced at Xiao Dan with a hint of surprise and sat down at the dining table.

Xu Feng smiled at him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go cook two more dishes."

After a while.

When Xu Feng carried the dishes out of the kitchen.

Xiao Dan and Li Wen sat at the dining table, staring at each other in a very formal manner.

The two of them didn't touch their chopsticks and just sat there waiting for him.

"Eat? What are you waiting for me for? Hurry up, the food will get cold!"

Xu Feng put down his things and urged them on.

Li Wen then picked up his chopsticks: "Then I won't be polite."

He then buried himself in his rice.

For a moment, only the clattering of bowls and chopsticks and the slurping of rice filled the dining table.

All three of them were just good eaters, they only ate and didn't say a word.

The battle was over in less than half an hour, and then it was time to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Xu Feng didn't stop Li Wen and Xiao Dan from washing the dishes together.

He finally saw it.

Li Wen is a pure person.

This was truly the first time he had ever met someone like this.

Interesting.

After the meal, Li Wen rested for a while.

Xiao Dan went upstairs to do her homework, while the two of them sat in the living room drinking tea.

Suddenly, Li Wen spoke up: "With your spirit gathered and your will concentrated, you have become a spiritual master at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you. Congratulations."

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow and fell silent: "."

Li Wen remained silent for a while, as if he had just figured something out, and then said apologetically, "I will not tell anyone about this."

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you. How did you figure it out? We didn't tell anyone."

Li Wen then truthfully replied, "My Li family has practiced the Zhouyi Cantongqi and the Kaiyuan Zhanjing, so we have also studied the method of observing qi."

Xu Feng frowned and said, "Observing the qi? The Taoist theory of observing the qi of mountains?"

Li Wen explained, "Observing mountains and observing qi is only one aspect; one can also observe people, houses, and mountains."

Complexion, aura, fortune, water vapor, cloud vapor, and earth vapor are all forms of "qi" (vital energy).

Xu Feng nodded in realization, but then asked worriedly, "Will others be able to tell?"

Li Wen nodded, but then shook his head and said, "It's possible, but it's also not."

"Explain," Xu Feng asked, puzzled.

"If someone can cultivate this technique to the same level as me, then it will be clear."

But so far, I haven't seen anyone like that within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xu Feng was shocked and stunned, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved."

After a while.

Li Wen stood up and said, "Alright, I've disturbed you for too long, I should go now."

Xu Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something to express his gratitude.

However, Li Wen did not linger at all and turned to leave.

Xu Feng sighed once again.

This is a pure person.

well.

When communicating with someone like that, you can say whatever you want without worrying too much.

That evening, Xu Feng carefully studied the "Li Family Bagua Palm" and its video materials.

"Bagua Palm, also known as Swimming Body Bagua Palm or Bagua Continuous Palm."

In the video, Li Wen stands in front of a white wall, explaining calmly.

"Baguazhang uses circular walking as its basic movement form, which is different from the palm techniques that have been passed down in the past."

It requires the practitioner to change the distance and direction between themselves and the enemy while constantly walking in circles.

The principle is to avoid direct confrontation and strike from the side, seizing the opportunity to attack.

In the video, Li Wen meticulously explains the basics of Baguazhang.

They really started explaining things from the very beginning.

"Baguazhang takes palm techniques as its core, and the main hand techniques include piercing, inserting, chopping, lifting, horizontal striking, bumping, hooking, flipping, and supporting."

The footwork mainly consists of lifting, stepping, swinging, and hooking.

The phrase "moving like a swimming dragon, turning like an eagle, spinning left and right, continuous and unbroken" is used to describe the movement of the dragon.

"The core power of Baguazhang is spiral force."

"The so-called 'piercing the palm'"

"Cloud Palm."

Four hours later.

After watching the video explanation and reading the secret, Hsu Feng was filled with admiration and emotion.

I have to accept it.

These videos and manuals are almost identical to the combat techniques purchased from the official website.

That's truly professional and meticulous.

Baguazhang itself is not difficult.

However, Xu Feng rarely saw the palm techniques and weapon techniques such as the Bagua saber and Bagua sword.

The techniques of swords and sabers are all extensions of palm techniques.

This ability to visually trace the evolution from "body" to "soldier" within the manual was itself a very exciting and eye-opening experience for Xu Feng.

As the saying goes, weapons are an extension of fists and feet.

He truly learned something from this manual.

I benefited greatly!

That very night, Xu Feng couldn't help but immerse himself completely in the study of Baguazhang.

The next morning.

With high spirits, Xu Feng practiced the basic palm-piercing technique of Baguazhang all the way to his workplace.

His arduous practice in the middle of the night benefited him greatly.

Although he hadn't even mastered the basics of Baguazhang yet, he felt he was close.

After all, this palm technique is not difficult.

Once you get started, it's like working yourself to the bone.

Once you have fully mastered it, then combine it with the Xunfeng Blade.

His combat effectiveness will reach a new level.

look forward to.

This is yet another new way to increase combat power.

He was extremely satisfied.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the workplace...

Xu Feng noticed a mother and son kneeling on the street, dressed in white mourning clothes and holding a portrait of a deceased person.

Four security personnel from the engineering department, along with members of the base's patrol team, were standing around the mother and child, intending to drag them away.

Pedestrians hurried along the roadside; although they wanted to watch, they were all in a rush to get to work and could only leave in a hurry.

This made the mother and son appear even more isolated.

The portrait was dragged and fell face down on the ground; the woman's screams and the child's cries sent chills down one's spine.

Xu Feng glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

It's unclear which family of a fallen warrior was causing trouble here.

It's either because they're dissatisfied with the "explanation of the cause of death" for their family members, or they're dissatisfied with the amount of the "compensation."

In short, everyone has their own hardships.

Having seen it so often on a daily basis, Xu Feng had become somewhat numb to it.

However, as they passed the security booth, Xu Feng still asked, "Old Li, whose family member is that?"

The old security guard, Li, who was about sixty years old, shook his head helplessly and said, "It's Chen, the former member of your team, Xu Gong."

"Old Chen?" Xu Feng didn't react for a moment. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly retreated back to the security booth: "Chen Gui?"

The security guard nodded: "Ah, yes."

Xu Feng confirmed again: "Chen Gui, the former senior engineer of the military repair team?"

Old Li's face darkened, and he sighed, "Yes, Xu Gong, that's Old Chen, Engineer Chen!"

Xu Feng suddenly froze.

That smiling, always kind-hearted Old Chen?

Old Chen, the one who brought the new bride to give him gifts?

Old Chen, the most senior engineer in the military repair team at Base Nine.

Is Old Chen dead?

He had just seen Lao Chen last week.

I haven't gone to work this week because I've been resting at home.

How could Old Chen have died?

How could it be Old Chen?

No.

Hsu Feng found it hard to believe.

"How did Old Chen die?" he asked, peering into the security booth.

Security guard Lao Li whispered, "They said he was attacked by a beast and seriously injured, and died while on a mission."

XCMG, this is the third engineer to die in an animal attack this month!

Everyone says it's because the guard force has been drastically reduced and disbanded, resulting in insufficient security.

Xu Feng remained silent for a moment, then exhaled, turned around, and walked out of the office towards the mother and son in mourning clothes on the street.

Before I even got close, I could hear the woman's desperate cries.

"Why not provide them with sufficient security personnel?!"

"Aren't engineers the most important core of the engineering department?"

"I just want an explanation! I didn't cause any trouble!"

"Their leaders wouldn't see me, so I had no other choice!"

"You are everyone's patrol team, supported by our taxes! Why are you accusing me of maliciously defending my rights?!"

"I just want an explanation for my husband! I didn't obstruct the road, I didn't threaten anyone, and I didn't cause any trouble!"

"Don't touch me! Don't touch my child! Ahhh!"

The woman's cries echoed through the street.

The security guards looked at each other, bewildered and unsure of what to do.

The patrol team members, on the other hand, were much tougher.

One of them saw that the woman wouldn't get up, no matter what.

He immediately picked up the 8-year-old boy next to him and turned to leave.

The woman desperately grabbed the child's hand, but the man yanked it away, leaving a bright red welt on the child's arm.

The actions were so rude that even the security team standing nearby couldn't stand it.

One of them was about to reach out to stop them when the security captain grabbed him.

However, as soon as the patrolman turned around with the child in his arms, he almost bumped into a tall figure.

"lay down."

Xu Feng stepped forward, blocking the man's body, and stared at him coldly.

The man's face darkened, and he immediately shouted at Xu Feng, "Who are you? Get out of the way! We are from the base patrol team, please do not interfere with our work!"

Several security guards nearby noticed something amiss and turned around to look.

The moment they saw Xu Feng clearly, their expressions changed slightly.

Security captain Zhang Xu immediately rushed over: "Captain Liu! Captain Liu, you've misunderstood. This is Xu Feng, our chief engineer!"

He quickly said to Xu Feng, "Engineer Xu! Engineer Xu, please don't be angry. They were just doing their job, this is—"

Xu Feng raised his hand to interrupt him.

Instead of moving aside, she stepped forward, stared into the man's eyes, and forced him to back away again.
"I don't care who you are, what you do, or your position."

I'll say it one last time: put the child down!

Swish!
The five patrol officers standing on the street immediately surrounded them.

The man's face darkened, and he was about to open his mouth to say something.

at this time.

A patrolman nearby immediately leaned close and whispered something in his ear.

The man's expression changed several times before he quickly put on a smile and placed the boy directly on the ground.

The boy turned and ran back into his mother's arms, bursting into tears.

The mother and son hugged each other, looking shakily in this direction.

The man smiled apologetically and said, "So it's Engineer Xu! It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding."

I am Liu Wu, the captain of the 9th patrol team at the base. We just wanted to help the mother and daughter move to a different location.

After all, staying here would have a bad influence, and—"

Xu Feng took a deep breath and completely ignored Liu Wu.

He walked straight past them and came directly to the Chen family mother and son.

Liu Wu's face froze instantly.

The patrol team members standing nearby immediately felt a jolt, but dared not say anything.

Chief Engineer.

High-ranking general.

Senior Colonel.

Meritorious warrior.

Spiritual meditator.

Honorary lecturer at five prestigious universities.

Any one of these titles alone is enough to make them someone they can't afford to mess with.

Even Liu Wu, the captain who was ignored by Xu Feng, just pursed his lips, feeling frustrated.

Xu Feng knelt down in front of the mother and child.

Pick up Old Chen's portrait, which was lying face down on the ground, and clean up the shards of glass on it.

He then carefully examined Old Chen's portrait, wiped it clean, and solemnly handed it to Old Chen's wife: "Hello, I am—"

The woman, her face streaked with tears, gripped Xu Feng's hand: "I know you're Engineer Xu, Engineer Xu, you have to get an explanation for Old Chen!"
He died so unjustly! He died so unjustly!!

As if grasping at a straw, the woman held tightly to Xu Feng's hand and wouldn't let go.

Xu Feng looked at the woman's grief-stricken face and the child huddled in her arms, and sighed.

After a long while, once the woman had calmed down a bit, Xu Feng asked in a low voice, "I still don't know your name?"

The woman sobbed, "I... my name is Wang Yan."

Xu Feng asked solemnly, "Sister Wang, do you believe me?"

Wang Yan nodded with tears in her eyes: "I...I believe you! Old Chen said that if anything happens, I should come to you!"

Xu Feng nodded slightly: "Okay, then you take the child and go back first."

Leave this to me, I'll definitely give you an explanation, okay?

Wang Yan paused for a moment, then gave Xu Feng a deep look.

She then grabbed his arm and staggered to her feet: "Okay! Engineer Xu! I believe in you! Xiao An, let's go home!"

With that said, he turned around and left.

Xu Feng quickly stopped the mother and son, and then flagged down an unmanned taxi on the street.

Xu Feng opened the car door for the woman: "You two take the car back and wait for my news."

"Thank you, XCMG."

The woman took a deep breath, her swollen eyes sparkling with gratitude.

Xu Feng waved his hand: "I'll contact you later. This is my contact number."

After seeing the Chen family mother and son off, Xu Feng turned to look at the patrol team members who were preparing to leave the scene.

He immediately turned around and called out, "Captain Liu!"

The group of men all paused, and Liu Wu, who was in the lead, turned to look at Xu Feng, his heart skipping a beat. He asked in confusion, "Mr. Xu, is there anything else?"

Xu Feng walked slowly to Liu Wu with a thoughtful expression.

Several patrol members immediately changed their expressions and moved closer, quite wary.

The security personnel from the engineering department at the entrance immediately changed their expressions.

Just as the group was about to step forward to stop them, the security captain stopped them.

He glared at the group.

This is not something they can get involved in!
What level is XCMG?
Who are the patrol team members?

We're just a bunch of security guards, trying to make a living. Are we going up there to get ourselves killed?

Then, he walked forward alone, a forced smile on his face.

Li Yuan is ready.

Whenever Xu Feng and Liu Wu had any conflict, he would immediately step in to mediate.

At most, he'll take a few punches, and maybe that will be enough to get him out of this mess.

Everyone immediately looked in this direction.

Xu Feng walked up to Liu Wu with a cold smile on his face: "By the way, I just heard Sister Wang say something about malicious rights protection and provoking trouble, right?"

Could you please explain to me, Captain Liu, what constitutes "malicious rights protection"?

Liu Wu swallowed hard, slightly embarrassed, and said, "Xu, Mr. Xu—ah!"

next moment.

He suddenly screamed in agony.

Everyone was startled, thinking that Xu Feng had made a direct move, and was about to step forward.

But then he saw Xu Feng standing still, motionless, without even raising his hand.

Only Li Yuan, who was standing in front of the two and had already reached out to stop them, saw it clearly.

At this moment, Xu Feng's foot was firmly planted on Liu Wu's foot, without moving an inch.

Liu Wu let out a miserable howl and instinctively tried to pull his foot away.

However, Xu Feng's feet were like iron nails, pinning him firmly to the spot, unable to move.

"Two of you! Two of you!" Li Yuan felt bitter inside, but he stepped forward and called out as if begging for mercy.

Liu Wu was both pained and angry, and immediately shoved Xu Feng.

"what are you doing?!"

boom!
But the next moment.

It exploded with a muffled thud.

Liu Wu let out a miserable groan and flew backward, crashing heavily several meters away!

"team leader!"

"Team Leader Liu!"

Everyone present was startled and turned to look at Xu Feng in shock.

Li Yuan rushed forward to check on Liu Wu, but was shoved aside by a patrolman: "Get out of the way!"

One of the team members angrily questioned Xu Feng, "You dare attack the patrol team in broad daylight! Are you crazy?!"

As they spoke, the men simultaneously drew their swords from their waists, looking at Xu Feng as if facing a formidable enemy.

This scene startled many passersby.

Even the security guards instinctively drew their riot batons from their waists and looked at the patrol officers.

Seeing this, Xu Feng scoffed and didn't take it seriously at all.

He immediately turned to the security guards beside him and asked with a smile:

"He attacked me first, everyone saw it, right?"

The patrol team members looked at Xu Feng in astonishment.

He then turned to look at the security guards.

He froze for a moment, unsure how to respond.
