Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 531 - 154: Ultimate Freeloader Victory, Jin Yifei’s Breakdown

Chapter 531: Chapter 154: Ultimate Freeloader Victory, Jin Yifei’s Breakdown

"Ling Feng, we got you a bathing barrel that can be expanded and stored. If you love baths, you can enjoy them at home, where no one can restrict you."

"We also prepared a few online novels for you, one is called ’Longevity Martial Dao: I Rely on Qi Fortune to Add Points,’ and another is ’Longevity Cultivation: Starting from the Martial Exams,’ along with several other long fantasy novels. You can read them while soaking in the tub."

"Though it may not be as relaxing as playing games, soaking at home and reading novels is a pleasure too. This is as far as we can help you."

Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu were persistent, and the next day they brought Ling Feng a bathing barrel, along with various bathing supplies like salt bathwater and milk blocks.

Ensuring that Ling Feng could immerse himself completely without any thoughts of cultivation.

"I really don’t know how to thank you two. You are my good brothers. If you could get me a few cases of wine so I can drink, read, and munch on chicken claws while soaking, that would be perfect."

Ling Feng exclaimed excitedly.

Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu exchanged glances.

In unison, they said, "Consider it done!"

In the following days, Ling Feng’s entertainment spot shifted from a foot bathhouse outside the Academy to his own home.

Jiang Nan, the Sect Leader of the Divine Sect, could order the members of the Divine Thought Class to cultivate diligently but couldn’t interfere with their cultivation activities.

After all, besides being members of the Divine Thought Class, they were also martial arts students of the Academy and potential participants in the continent’s martial arts student selection.

As long as Ling Feng stayed at the Academy, Jiang Nan was helpless. Moreover, cultivation is a matter of self-discipline, and Ling Feng’s rapid progress, with the Qin Family’s support, made it hard for her to force him to do anything against his will, even if it made her anxious.

"Bang!"

Under these conditions.

Ling Feng let himself go and immediately soaked in the tub after returning from the Divine Thought Class.

To ensure Ling Feng’s complete immersion, Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu took turns filling and changing the water, as well as preparing various snacks for him.

The bathroom was transformed into a foot bathhouse style.

They added red lamps and even taped a few explicit posters on the walls.

Every day, Ling Feng felt at home, completely relaxed.

With days passing by like this, although home soaking couldn’t compare to a foot bathhouse, with full commitment to his indulgence, Ling Feng still earned over three thousand Coasting Along Value each day.

In a blink of an eye, another twenty days passed.

There were only twenty days left until the continent’s martial arts student selection.

Ling Feng, wrapped in a bath towel, looked at the tub, steaming with floating petals and several cans of milk poured in, a satisfied look on his face.

He couldn’t help but wave at a new student nearby, "Alright, you can head back now. I’ll call you next time I need something."

"Sure, just let me know whenever you need anything,"

The new student said while bowing.

Then he gently closed the door and hurried back to report to Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu.

"Damn, just twenty more days, and after that, I’ll make you drink all the water in that tub."

Ding Qiang’s expression twisted.

This period, to satisfy Ling Feng and keep his focus on bathing,

The two specially consulted the foot bathhouse owner for advice.

The owner taught them quite a bit about bathing knowledge.

First, the water in the barrel should be changed regularly—today a salt bath, tomorrow a milk bath, the day after a volcanic mud bath, and the day afterwards an immortal herbs bubble bath.

This way Ling Feng wouldn’t get bored.

Additionally, it was best to have someone arrange massages and scrubs for Ling Feng.

There were many skilled workers at the foot bathhouse, but strict security at the Academy prevented outsiders from entering, so they bribed new students with resource bonuses.

The foot bathhouse owner arranged for a few technicians to provide online training via video link, teaching new students how to massage and scrub Ling Feng.

Taking care of Ling Feng with meticulous attention.

He lived in enjoyment every day.

As they say, the heavens reward diligent people.

With Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu’s efforts, Ling Feng got truly addicted to baths and massages, barely feeling energized unless he spent several hours a day soaking and getting lost in a fantasy novel.

Now with only twenty days left until the continent’s martial arts student selection, Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu felt confident of victory.

While having the new student monitor Ling Feng’s every move, they didn’t rest themselves but focused on their own cultivation.

At this moment.

Ling Feng finished reading a fantasy novel, closed it, rubbed his eyes, took a sip of wine, and couldn’t resist using Telepathy to check his Dantian Sea of Qi.

With Mental Telekinesis and his Dantian Sea of Qi resonating, allowing the latter to continuously release more Life Force and his Spiritual Power guiding the Black Wind Demon Lotus, i.e., his Spiritual Root to automatically absorb Life Force. In this span of twenty days, the Black Wind Demon Lotus, while not covering the entire Sea of Qi, was not far from doing so.

At this moment, Ling Feng observed his Dantian Sea of Qi and noted that the branches and leaves of the Black Wind Demon Lotus had nearly enveloped the entire Sea of Qi.

The dense and sturdy roots had even formed star pattern-like structures, appearing throughout his Dantian.

His Dantian Sea of Qi had undergone a unique transformation, merging with the Spiritual Root, giving Ling Feng the illusion that his Dantian Sea of Qi was the Spiritual Root and vice versa.

Unnoticed, the power in the Sea of Qi seemed to be evolving toward Spiritual Power.

Ling Feng realized, although the Spiritual Root continued absorbing Life Force, the possibility of awakening an upper Third Grade Spiritual Root was no longer far-fetched.

Perhaps when the branches and leaves of the Black Wind Demon Lotus fully cover the Sea of Qi and the roots emerge like stars throughout the Dantian, that’s when his Spiritual Root will awaken.

He had a premonition that this day wouldn’t be far off, maybe one to two months at most, or as soon as ten to fifteen days.
