Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1767 - 1749: Fishing?

The Immortal-Slaying Secret Realm.

After Lin Feng had a conversation with his doppelganger, a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. It seemed that the doppelganger was doing quite well at the Divine Sword Sect, so he had nothing to worry about. After thinking for a moment, he left his secluded place, appearing directly in Chu Meng’s room.

Chu Meng was working on a computer. Recently, she had to set aside some time every day to deal with matters of the Cloud Fund. At her level, as long as the general direction was correct, managing the development in various aspects was enough. Plus, with Wendao Pavilion offering wireless internet, using the phone was quite convenient, so she was relatively free lately, at least not having to run around.

Suddenly finding Lin Feng in her room, Chu Meng was momentarily stunned, then instantly realized she was dressed very scantily, her face turning bright red. She immediately stood up and put on a robe, saying with a blushing face, "Junior Brother, why did you come in suddenly without giving a heads-up?"

There was a hint of reproach in her tone. She really didn’t expect Lin Feng to suddenly appear in her room. The temperature at Wendao Pavilion was just right, so she typically wore just underwear in her room, only dressing when going out. Who would have thought Lin Feng would come in without knocking?

At this moment, Lin Feng stood with a smile on his face, finding Chu Meng’s embarrassed look quite amusing. Having seen everything back when he saved Chu Meng, he found her current reaction somewhat funny.

However, these thoughts could only remain in his mind. On the surface, he apologized to Chu Meng, "I was being abrupt."

"So, what brings you to see me?" Hearing Lin Feng’s apology, Chu Meng smiled and asked. She knew Lin Feng was a busy man, likely only coming to her if something needed attention.

"Senior Sister, I wanted to ask about the weapon research for cultivators." Lin Feng asked directly, looking at Chu Meng.

"There is already a main direction, traditional methods can’t target cultivators effectively, so we are looking into high-energy microwaves now. However, some key issues remain unresolved." Chu Meng explained immediately after hearing Lin Feng’s inquiry, as she had been closely following this development and was well informed.

"Well, that’s a good direction, making it hard to guard against. If you need testing, you can reach out to Xia Yan and have him arrange it." Lin Feng nodded and replied casually. As long as there’s a direction, once the weapon is developed, it might present a huge surprise for those smug Immortal Realm beings. He quite looked forward to witnessing such a scene.

After speaking, Lin Feng moved beside Chu Meng, and without waiting for her to react, he hugged her, startling Chu Meng and making her tremble. She couldn’t comprehend what had come over her junior brother to make him suddenly do that. Just as she was anxious, she heard Lin Feng’s voice.

"Senior Sister, you’ve worked hard." Lin Feng patted Chu Meng’s shoulder after saying that, feeling it deeply. This Senior Sister of convenience had silently supported him from the very start, and how could he not recognize her feelings? Yet now the women around him were too many, and he was too busy to indulge in romantic affairs.

"Why say such things to me, Senior Sister, this is what I ought to do." Chu Meng sensed the implication in Lin Feng’s words and relaxed, replying gently. She had witnessed him achieving one myth after another with her own eyes; how could she allow herself to hinder him?

"Once the issues with the Immortal Realm are resolved, all of us can live happily together," Lin Feng continued. Truthfully, he’d long wished to ignore everything and retreat with the women to a secluded place. But current circumstances continued to propel him forward. For the sake of the entire Earth, he had no choice but to keep going.

"Mm." Chu Meng smiled hearing Lin Feng’s promise; having that from him was enough!

The two stood quietly like that, without saying a word for over ten minutes before Lin Feng left, leaving Chu Meng with a slight flush on her face...

...

The next day was sunny, with clear skies and exceptionally good weather.

Early in the morning, Fang Yan and other Outer Sect disciples gathered at the training field. By now, Fang Yan and his two companions had become the center of everyone’s attention, with many crowding around them.

"Fang Yan, you’re amazing! We are fellow disciples now, guide us when you’re free!"

"Yes, I’d like to visit you in the evening. I have some fine Spiritual Tea from my family, let’s taste it together."

"Fang Yan, tell us what you did in the Heaven Demon Forest that made you all break through when you came out!"

...

Those surrounding Fang Yan and the other two spoke politely, genuinely admiring Fang Yan. Achieving a breakthrough to the late stage of the Divine Firmament Realm in just three months wasn’t something anyone could easily do, especially after emerging from the Heaven Demon Forest with the Golden Horn of the Eternal Qinghua Beast. Such strength was enviable, and they sought to build good relations with Fang Yan and the other two to boost their own prowess.

There were insignificant reasons among them too. They had already communicated with their families last night, and the advice given was to maintain good relations with Fang Yan. A talent of his caliber was esteemed by various families, and fostering good relations would benefit even lesser-known ones.

Strangely, the Fang Family seemed unaware of Fang Yan’s accomplishments at the Divine Sword Sect. Perhaps other families assumed the Fang Family knew, or maybe it was due to Fang Zheng and his son’s reasons. Either way, the Fang Family’s focus was entirely on Fang Zheng’s identity, with Fang Yan seemingly vanishing from their radar.

Where some wish to align with Fang Yan, there are others displeased with him. Several Outer Sect disciples at the late Divine Firmament Realm initially regarded with disdain the crowd around Fang Yan, ignoring everything while waiting for the new instructor.

In their view, Fang Yan and the others probably gained some rare treasures in the Heaven Demon Forest to experience such breakthroughs. Under normal circumstances, even a genius would take over a year to break through a small realm in the Divine Firmament Realm. Therefore, they weren’t concerned. Moreover, they were also geniuses, and it was still uncertain who would ultimately prevail.

At this moment, Fang Zheng’s face turned even more frustrated, watching Fang Yan being praised like a star in the sky, jealousy burned within him. If Fang Yan had died back then, none of this would have happened; he should be the one to be fawned over!

Thinking of this made him more eager to deal with Fang Yan. But he realized he couldn’t confront him alone; he needed an ally. His gaze swept over the others and suddenly caught Wu Kexiong’s hostile look toward Lin Feng, instantly lifting his spirits.

This Wu Kexiong could be utilized!

In just an instant, he understood the crucial point, and a smile returned to his face. Wu Kexiong, the Young Master of the Wu Family, would be a powerful ally, making it a matter of time before he could take on Fang Yan...

Before long, three individuals approached from a distance, the new instructors to guide them for the next three months, Inner Sect Disciple Hu Yi, accompanied by two Elders. After delivering Hu Yi, the Elders left. The crowd stopped their discussions and turned their attention to the newcomer.

"I’m Instructor Hu Yi. Starting today, I will be responsible for you for the next nine months. I have just one requirement: in your first Sect assessment nine months from now, I want to see you stand out. Ideally, more of you will pass and enter the Inner Sect as Inner Sect Disciples."

Hu Yi, in a blue long robe, tall and handsome with a slightly cold demeanor, addressed them. The related matters had been discussed with him by the two Elders earlier, but he had his own principle. He was dispatched to guide these new Outer Sect disciples, and he must achieve results, or his coming would be in vain.

Therefore, elevating their strength is the main focus; everything else is secondary. As for the Elders’ arrangement for him to supervise the Outer Sect disciples and prevent fights, he was indifferent. Without conflicts, where would strength improvement come from? Only with motivation could they swiftly advance. As long as no one died, he wouldn’t intervene.

Then he began assigning the day’s practice task: "Today’s task is for each of you to catch fish from the big river outside the Sect. The task is to end by sunset, catching a fish three feet long to pass. Failure will result in a public penalty of a hundred lashes."

Oh heavens!

How is that even possible!

That river is a good sixty to seventy yards wide!

And catching a fish over three feet long, what kind of task is this...

...

For a moment, everyone stood motionless, not expecting such a task. What’s this all about? Why not just train properly instead of fishing! And there’s a punishment for failure, though the lashes won’t harm them, the issue is that the punishment is public, and that’s a matter of face. Realizing this, none could remain calm, and they all hurried out. They were all family talents; their families wouldn’t forgive such public humiliation.

Wu Kexiong cast an extremely displeased glance at Hu Yi before leaving with a few others. Although he didn’t want to fish at all, it was a matter of face, so he had no choice but to do as Hu Yi instructed. In the Divine Sword Sect, he was no longer the Young Master of the Wu Family but an Outer Sect disciple, and no amount of anger would change that.
