Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

The energy within Zi Yan's body was rapidly digested by the strange fire, enhancing her battle qi in the most solid way.

At this pace, it should be finished in about a week.

Han Feng had worked hard all night and felt even more tired than when he was cultivating.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame danced joyfully in Han Feng's hands.

These two little creatures received some benefits while helping.

The spirit of the strange fire seemed to really like the aura within Zi Yan's body.

Han Feng laid Zi Yan down again and covered her with a blanket.

When she wakes up, I'll have to ask her where she found such a good thing.

Han Feng piloted his spaceship to Stone Desert City. Three days had passed, and he needed to pick up his junior brother.

Outside the gates of Stone Desert City, Han Feng and the three women walked along the official road. Some mercenary teams that had been exploring the desert returned one after another, and they showed curious expressions when they saw Han Feng and his group.

Who is this important person who has come to Stone Desert City?

Both Han Feng and the three girls were completely at odds with the rugged and unrestrained atmosphere of this place.

Suddenly, someone's gaze fell on the arm of the girl with blue hair, where a conspicuous blue scale was visible.

"Snake, snake scales?"

The mercenary said in a trembling voice.

"What snake scales?"

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at Qinglin.

Since Qinglin didn't conceal anything, his blue scales were quite eye-catching, and almost instantly, the group's aura changed.

They stared intently at the blue-haired girl, their eyes revealing wariness and disgust.

Qinglin did not stop, but merely glanced at it. Her emerald green eyes possessed an unusual beauty and a captivating power.

It was an unassailable authority that made the mercenaries instinctively avert their gaze.

"Don't mind your own business."

The team leader gave a reprimand, then waited in place until Han Feng and his group entered the city before moving on.

"Captain, that woman just now..."

"I told you, mind your own business, didn't you hear me?"

"Yes Yes."

The team leader took a deep breath. The fact that the girl dared to show her snake scales so casually meant that she didn't care about their gazes at all.

His intuition told him not to provoke them.

--------

On the streets of the city, passersby frequently turned their heads to look.

As it turns out, once you become powerful, those who bully you will naturally disappear.

Han Feng nodded secretly as he observed Qing Lin's reaction.

That's how it should be—a slightly aggressive look in her eyes. If she's too weak, Han Feng will worry that she might be bullied after he sends her to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Following the direction of the mark on Xiao Yan's body, Han Feng arrived at a place called the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

"Hello, may I ask what brings you here?"

The mercenaries outside the gate came forward to greet them.

"I'm here to find someone. Do you know Xiao Yan?"

"Young Master Xiao Yan?"

“I am his senior brother.”

"Oh, please come in."

The mercenary quickly extended an invitation.

"Xiao Hu, go and inform the leader that Young Master Xiao Yan's senior brother has arrived."

"Yes!"

Han Feng arrived at the reception room of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. The decoration and architecture here were quite nice.

It's quite impressive that Xiao Yan's two elder brothers were able to build their mercenary group to this level within just a few years.

Han Feng just inquired and found out that the Mo Tie Mercenary Group ranks among the top three in strength in Shi Mo City, and is the mercenary group with the most Battle Masters.

Stone Desert City is one of the many small cities on the border of the Tager Desert. The top expert there is only a four-star Grand Battle Master named Rob.

Rob is the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group and can be considered the overlord of this city.

"Brother!"

Hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Xiao Yan rushed into the hall and saw Han Feng.

Following behind Xiao Yan were two young men, one of whom appeared to have shed his youthful naiveté and become calm and composed.

The other person exuded a fierce aura between his brows, and his body was filled with a rare kind of thunderous battle qi.

He was the third brother's senior apprentice...

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li showed a hint of surprise when they saw Han Feng.

He looked very young, but according to the third brother, he was already a powerhouse no less than a Dou Huang!

"Xiao Ding".

"Xiao Li".

"I've met Mr. Han."

The two brothers bowed respectfully to Han Feng.

"Hello."

Han Feng nodded in a friendly manner.

"Chief Xiao's sons are indeed all outstanding. The fact that they have been able to carve out such a territory in Stone Desert City is enough to demonstrate their abilities."

"Here, this is a gift for you as we meet."

Han Feng gave away two bottles of pills, both of which were helpful for the cultivation of Dou Shi.

"Thank you, Mr. Han."

Xiao Ding and his companion bowed again to express their gratitude.

"Mr. Han, since you're here in Shimo City, why don't you stay for a few days and let us brothers show you some hospitality?"

"Then I'll take my leave."

Han Feng looked at the two spirited brothers and nodded with a smile.

Sitting in the second-in-command position in Shimo City, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a landlord.

Xiao Ding immediately ordered his servants to arrange rooms. They were also very respectful to the girls around Han Feng, and their manners were impeccable.

Even when dealing with Qinglin, who had snake scales on his hands, he spoke gently and smiled warmly.

"Miss Xian'er, Miss Qinglin, this way please."

"Cousin Xun'er, please make yourself at home here."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also knew Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er smiled gently, "Thank you, cousin, but I'll go with them."

The three women left together, leaving Han Feng and Xiao Yan in the hall.

Next came the test for the two of them.

First came the correction and excerpting of knowledge on alchemy, followed by the mastery of the first chapter of the "Mysterious Yang Technique," the cultivation of the "Purple Cloud Wings," and the memorization of Buddhist scriptures for meditation.

When Xiao Yan first arrived in Shimo City, his two older brothers got him completely drunk, and he didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

He rushed around as fast as he could, barely sleeping last night, to complete the task assigned by Han Feng.

"That's right, you haven't slacked off these past few days."

Han Feng said with satisfaction.

Actually, he didn't expect Xiao Yan to be able to complete everything; he just wanted him to be doing it seriously.

However, Xiao Yan's talent is indeed remarkable. His soul talent is outstanding, and he is highly efficient in both cultivating techniques and fighting skills.

"call."

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving praise from his senior brother.

He works so hard because he hopes that Han Feng will show a satisfied expression when he tests him, right?

Having disappointed Han Feng before, Xiao Yan tried every means to make amends.

"Don't blame me for being harsh. Nalan Yanran is the young sect leader of Yunlan Sect. Her resources may not be inferior to yours. If you don't feel the pressure, don't blame others when you lose."

"I see, brother."

Xiao Yan nodded seriously.

"Yes, I'll work harder recently and try to break through to the Dou Shi level before entering Canaan Academy."

"The competition there is also quite fierce."

Han Feng produced a pill made from the accompanying amethyst source and handed it to Xiao Yan.

--------

In the following days, Xiao Yan diligently cultivated his Dou Qi in the mornings and studied alchemy in the afternoons.

Occasionally, they would engage in actual combat with the mercenaries of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Everyone was amazed by Xiao Yan's strength. Despite being only an eight-star Dou Zhe, he was able to fight on equal terms with a Dou Shi expert in the group.

Han Feng has been focusing on refining energy for Zi Yan these days, and he will give Xiao Yan some guidance on alchemy when he has time.

Finally, on the fifth day, Zi Yan woke up.

Han Feng slowly withdrew his hand. Although there was still some energy in the other party's body that had not been refined, now that Zi Yan had woken up, he would leave it to her to handle.

"Finally woke up?"

Han Feng said.

Zi Yan rubbed her eyes, still half asleep.

"Han Feng... what are you doing here?"

Han Feng smiled and ruffled Zi Yan's ahoge (cowlick).

"I've been here for many days."

"Well......."

Zi Yan's petite and soft body swayed back and forth with Han Feng's hand, looking as if she hadn't had enough sleep.

As soon as Han Feng let go, the little guy lay down on the bed and continued snoring.

"you....."

Han Feng was speechless.

The emotions only awaken intermittently.

"That's all."

It should be back to normal now, not dormant.

Han Feng straightened Zi Yan, who was sleeping in a very unseemly position, covered her with the blanket, and left the room.

Suddenly, a faint energy fluctuation came from the distant sky.

Han Feng closed the door and walked into the training ground outside.

"Have you come out of seclusion too?"
