Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 474 - 136: Squandering Treasures, Old Xu, Just Sign the Agreement

Chapter 474: Chapter 136: Squandering Treasures, Old Xu, Just Sign the Agreement

The results of the major exam made Ling Feng more determined to fully embrace the ’Coast Along’ lifestyle.

Since playing mahjong no longer provided abundant Coasting Along Value and corresponding abilities, Ling Feng immediately made a change.

He switched to playing "Fight the Landlord" (Dou Dizhu).

Mahjong requires a group of four.

Dou Dizhu only needs three people.

Just pulling in two random people would allow him to fully embrace the Coast Along lifestyle.

If no one was available, he could use robots instead.

Since Li Xiaoshuang and the others couldn’t arrange robots for him, he decided to buy them himself.

Though this world is lacking in material resources, deliveries were incredibly convenient, and even things like playing cards could be swiftly manufactured.

Ling Feng’s Coast Along plan wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.

Therefore, in the subsequent time, he maintained his usual rhythm, neither arriving early nor leaving late, and after class, he would return to the dorm to play cards.

If someone was available, great; if not, he would play with the robot.

No one could stop Ling Feng from fully embracing the Coast Along lifestyle.

"Ling Feng, your Dantian Sea of Qi has just barely reached Great Success, and has transformed from formless to tangible. If you seize this opportunity and push forward within two months, to let the Dantian Sea of Qi reach the Perfection realm, maybe in the future you could awaken a Sixth Grade spiritual root."

Xu Pengfei kindly advised.

With the help of half a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water, Xu Pengfei became quite fond of Ling Feng and tore up the agreement with the Academy, declaring his intention to devote himself fully to teaching Ling Feng in cultivation. Should anything happen to Ling Feng, Xu Pengfei would take full responsibility.

But after the previous lesson, Xu Pengfei was always polite with Ling Feng.

He didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Ling Feng nodded obediently and then returned to his dorm to continue playing Dou Dizhu.

"Sigh..."

Xu Pengfei was helpless.

Unfortunately, after Qin Qianyu became a Realm Traveler and thrashed Li Xiaoshuang and the others, they were all shaken and couldn’t be bothered with Ling Feng’s rise anymore.

During this period, Ling Feng sought them out many times, but they were all fully devoted to cultivation, and even when Ling Feng taught them Dou Dizhu techniques or left them several decks of playing cards, they remained unmoved.

They even burned all mahjong equipment and the like, cutting off all ties with the Coast Along and entertainment lifestyle.

Faced with such determination, Ling Feng could only play Dou Dizhu with robots every day, feeling particularly grateful for the technology in this world.

If they hadn’t developed intelligent robots, how would he have found playmates at the Academy?

Even though Ming Cheng sneakily visited a few times wanting to play mahjong and Dou Dizhu with him, Ling Feng chased him away for his own good.

"That’s basically how it is."

Xu Pengfei reported Ling Feng’s recent cultivation and daily activities in detail to Wang Defa.

"Not cultivating?"

Wang Defa frowned.

"He seems to have a natural aptitude; it feels like he doesn’t need much cultivation. Just a little effort, and his cultivation level improves..."

Xu Pengfei explained, but he stopped midway, sensing how bizarre it sounded.

"There’s no such thing in the world as getting stronger without cultivation."

Wang Defa replied darkly.

"But what about his past strength?"

Xu Pengfei remained puzzled about this.

"The Qin Family has impressive means; if they want to help him hide his strength, it’s not difficult. In the first exam of the major exams, his Dantian Sea of Qi was just at the Lesser Success stage in the eyes of outsiders."

Wang Defa reminded.

"You mean Ling Feng is still hiding his strength?"

Xu Pengfei’s eyes lit up.

Could it be that Ling Feng’s Dantian is already full, and his Sea of Qi has reached the Perfection realm? If so, then he’s hit the jackpot.

"You’re overthinking it. Li Dahong and I checked his strength together, and unless Qin Cangqiong personally helped him, he couldn’t escape our spiritual sense detection."

Wang Defa spoke with absolute confidence.

In other words, Ling Feng’s strength was fully exposed, with nothing left hidden.

"Then why is he still like this now? It doesn’t seem like he’s pretending not to want to cultivate."

Xu Pengfei asked, full of doubt.

"There’s no need to bother with him for now. You go tend to other matters."

Wang Defa couldn’t figure it out either.

But with the Academy having finally produced such a student, Wang Defa couldn’t just let it go.

So he went to the resting area.

He cast his spiritual sense to cover Ling Feng’s dormitory.

"Call the landlord!"

"No!"

"Pass!"

"Then I have to continue being the landlord."

Ling Feng looked at his cards and the hidden cards, thought they were quite good, so he continued as the landlord.

He took a sip of Spiritual Spring Water at the same time.

Li Dahong compensated him with three pots of Spiritual Spring Water, and Qin Xin sent over another pot, making four pots in total. Ling Feng shared half a pot each with the four of Li Xiaoshuang and with Xu Pengfei. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He was left with three pots.

Remembering Qin Qianyu’s previous care, he gave the pot that Qin Xin sent him as a gift to Qin Qianyu.

Spiritual Spring Water is extremely valuable, and even someone like Qin Qianyu had seen it only a few times, so he accepted it without refusal.

Thus Ling Feng was left with two pots of Spiritual Spring Water.

He didn’t follow Wang Defa’s advice to drink only a small cup a day and refine it using the Dantian Secret Manual to leave the power of the Spiritual Spring Water in his Dantian Sea of Qi.

Instead, he treated the Spiritual Spring Water like ordinary drinking water.

While playing Dou Dizhu, he would sprinkle in some goji berries, take a small sip now and then, and sometimes even use it as mouthwash, hesitating for a moment before swallowing it.
