Forest Wind

  "Ahh!!"

  With a mournful howl, the brown giant wolf, over half a man's height, fell to the ground powerless, then transformed into a ball of white light and disappeared, leaving behind several copper coins shining with faint light, several bottles of potion, a wolf skin, and an ancient book.

  "Huh?!! This is... a skill book!!"

  Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly as he let out a loud whoop and took off in a swift arrow step, grabbing the skill book into his hands.

  "Skill book! I didn't expect that just by killing a level 5 small BOSS, a skill book would actually drop!"

  Lin Feng had only been playing the newly released virtual game "Soul Master World" for half a day, and his level was only 8. He didn't even have one skill yet. According to the official introduction, the drop rate of skill books in the game was extremely low. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng's luck was so good that not only did he encounter a small BOSS while leveling up alone, but he also dropped a skill book.

  Lin Feng couldn't even be bothered to pick up the other things on the ground, and hastily looked at the skill book in his hand.

  "Equipment Repair Technique", after learning, you can obtain the secondary profession "Equipment Repair Master", which can repair equipment.

  "Have you studied: Yes/No"

  A small, transparent virtual panel appeared in front of Lin Feng's eyes, causing his expression to change with excitement: "Not a combat skill, but a secondary occupation skill? Hmm, not bad! The game has just started and I've already gotten a secondary occupation, wonder if I'm the first person to get it? Heh heh..."

  At that moment, Lin Feng chose 'yes' without hesitation. The next second, the skill book turned into a white light and surged into his body.

  Open the attribute panel, and the 'sub-profession' column is already lit up, with a new skill added.

  "Equipment Repair (Apprentice)"

  "Skill Experience: 0/100"

  "Note 1: Currently repairable white equipment."

  "Note 2: Skill levels are divided into Apprentice, Beginner, Master, Grandmaster, and Divine Artisan. (Hint: The higher the skill level, the more advanced equipment can be repaired, and there will be more unexpected gains, strive to upgrade!!)"

  After finishing the skill introduction, Lin Feng couldn't wait to try it out. He thought for a moment and then looked down at the two-foot-long iron sword in his left hand.

  Name: Iron Sword.

  "Color: White."

  "Equipment requirements: None."

  "Attack Power: 15."

  Durability: 5/10.

  "Description: This is just an ordinary iron sword, with no special features."

  It's just an ordinary novice iron sword, Lin Feng used it to kill monsters for half a day, and its durability is already only half left.

  Looking at the iron sword, Lin Feng's mind stirred.

  "Equipment damage degree: 50%."

  "Materials needed for repair: Iron ingot."

  "Is it fixed: Yes/No."

  Immediately, several pieces of information appeared in front of Lin Feng's eyes again.

  "Hmm, I still need materials...” Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow and glanced at his backpack, which had a few pieces of ordinary iron that he had obtained from killing monsters earlier.

  "Fixed."

  As Lin Feng's command was issued, the iron sword in his hand flashed with a burst of light, and at the same time, two pieces of ordinary iron disappeared from his backpack. Moreover, Lin Feng also found that his magic value had been consumed by 10 points.

  He looked at the iron sword in his hand again and found that its durability had indeed become 10/10. Then, Lin Feng took a look at the skill panel and found that the skill experience had also become 3/100.

  "Hmm, not bad! At least I won't have to spend money at the blacksmith to repair equipment anymore. And I can also help others repair their equipment, which is a great way to make money! Especially in instances where you can't return to town to repair, this skill is super useful. Hehe, time to get rich..."

  After trying out this "Equipment Repair Technique", Lin Feng felt a little dizzy and was extremely excited.

  "What's going on?"

  Just as Lin Feng was feeling self-satisfied and pleased with himself, he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, sensing that something was off. He looked around in confusion.

  He suddenly found that, at some point, the scenery around him had begun to twist and shake, as if the electrical signal was unstable.

  "Is the game frozen? Or is there something wrong with the console? Has the power gone out?"

  A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, and just as he was about to go offline to take a look...

  "Crack..."

  It seemed that a faint cracking sound echoed in his ears, and then Lin Feng saw with unbelievable eyes that all the scenery around him shattered like glass. Then he only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, as if a black hole appeared in front of him, instantly sucking his soul into it!

  Then, Lin Feng completely lost consciousness...

  …………

  ……

  Moon Cloud Continent, East Dragon Continent, within the southern borders of Xia Country, Qingyun City.

  Although it is located within the borders of Xia Guo, Qingyun City does not belong to Xia Guo's management. This city is not a mortal city, but a cultivation city, nominally belonging to the fourth-grade sect 'Biqiuan Sect' as an affiliated cultivation city.

  Although Qingyun City is only the lowest level among the many Xiantian cities on the Moon Cloud Continent, and there isn't even a single Golden Dan cultivator in the city, it is indeed a Xiantian city - a gathering place for low-level cultivators.

  At dusk, in the afterglow of sunset, a young man wearing a coarse linen robe walked somewhat lonely on the bustling streets, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.

  He is about 1.8 meters tall, slightly thin in build, with a short haircut and an ordinary face that is not particularly handsome but still quite pleasant to look at. Although his complexion looks somewhat tired, his eyes are clear and bright, giving people a pretty good first impression.

  The young man's name was Lin Feng, and he was an inconspicuous loose cultivator in Qingyun City.

  "Finally saved up ten low-grade spirit stones, can try breaking through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining again tonight..."

  Lin Feng subconsciously raised his hand to touch the inside of his clothes, as if afraid that something in his bosom would fall out. His eyes showed some expectation and excitement, but also a hint of loss and helplessness.

  It's just advancing to the fourth layer of Qi refinement, a trivial matter for others as long as they have enough spirit stones. However, he had failed once three months ago and spent another three whole months gathering ten more low-grade spirit stones. Who knows if he'll succeed this time...

  "Maybe I'm just not cut out for this after all..."

  Thinking of the hardships he had endured in his cultivation, Lin Feng's mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitterness. He raised his hand to touch his chest, and as he felt the outline of something hanging from his neck, an unyielding determination shone through his eyes once again.

  Don't be discouraged!! Even if you have to put in ten times more effort than others, you must succeed! Only with enough strength can you pursue the whereabouts of your parents!!

  With a firm determination in his heart, Lin Feng unconsciously quickened his pace and turned into a small alley on the right side of the street, heading towards his residence.

  The alley was very quiet, and after walking in, it seemed to be isolated from the bustling streets outside. If an ordinary person walked inside, they would even feel a bit eerie. However, Lin Feng had walked this road countless times before, so he didn't think much of it, and simply walked quickly with his head down.

  But as he walked on, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead in some confusion.

  Two young men with unpleasant expressions blocked the way forward.

  Robbery!

  A word suddenly flashed in his mind, Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow and turned around to leave.

  But he turned around and was stunned again - behind him, two men of different heights had also appeared out of nowhere!

  Lin Feng's heart sank, he turned his body and leaned against the wall on his left, looking at the four people who were slowly approaching him, and calmly asked: "What do you want to do?"

  "Hmph! You know the answer, yet you ask!" One of the two men on the right side, a muscular man with a square face, sneered and said viciously, "If you're smart, hand over your belongings voluntarily. Otherwise, I'll break both your legs!"

  Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he hesitated for two seconds before pulling out a pouch of money from his bosom and throwing it directly at the muscular man, saying: "All my money is here, take it, let me go."

  "Hey! You're quite clever." The muscular man sneered with a smile, raised his hand to take the money bag, but didn't even look at it, and instead continued to stare tightly at Lin Feng, coldly saying, "But do you think I've been waiting for you here for so long just for this little bit of silver? Don't play dumb with me! Hand over the spiritual stone in your pocket!"

  “……”

  Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly, a flash of anger flickered in his eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out three white crystal stones the size of chicken eggs. His hand gripping the crystal stone was almost pale, but reason told him that even if he resisted, he would only end up injured. So after a moment's hesitation, he swung his hand again and threw the three inferior spirit stones away.

  "Haha! You're quite sensible for a young fellow! It saves me the trouble of taking action myself." The muscular man's eyes lit up with delight, and he reached out to catch the three spirit stones. After a glance, he burst into laughter and tucked them into his own bosom.

  “……”

  Lin Feng's fists were clenched tightly, his fingernails almost piercing into his flesh. He stared fixedly as the spiritual stone he had worked hard for a month to obtain was taken away by the other person. No matter how hard he tried to endure, a hint of resentment and hatred still appeared in his eyes...

  "Huh?" The muscular man's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he keenly sensed Lin Feng's expression. Then, without warning, his right hand suddenly swung out!

  "Bang!!"

  Lin Feng only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and before he could even react, a burning sensation spread across the right side of his face, with a clear palm print appearing on his right cheek.

  Lin Feng was shocked in his heart, his own cultivation of three layers of Qi although among cultivators could only be considered as the bottom, but physical reaction speed and other aspects compared to ordinary people were still far superior, but unexpectedly he didn't see clearly this muscular man's movement at all, which means - this muscular man's cultivation was far beyond his!

  In the midst of shock, Lin Feng suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, only to find himself being lifted up by the muscular man's grasp on his collar. He tried to struggle free in terror, but felt like the other's arm was an iron pincer that he couldn't escape from.

  "You're not convinced?!"

  A menacing voice came from the muscular man beside him, and Lin Feng saw a fierce glint in his eyes. He was startled and stopped struggling, gritting his teeth and saying in a low voice: "No... nothing..."

  The muscular man looked at Lin Feng's expression with a playful smile, suddenly bursting into laughter. With a flick of his right hand, Lin Feng felt a surge of great force and was flung out, crashing into the wall behind him before falling to the ground.

  As the muscle man threw Lin Feng out, Lin Feng's collar was torn open, and a thin string was pulled out by the muscle man's fingers. Due to Lin Feng being flung out, it was snapped off, and a small object drew an arc in mid-air before rolling onto the ground.

  But it was an ancient black ring with a simple style.

  ……

  "Good for nothing!!"

  The sound of the muscular man's disdain and ridicule came into Lin Feng's ears, a flash of ferocity flickered in his eyes, but he finally endured it once again.

  "Huh?"

  But immediately afterwards, Lin Feng's face changed colour, as if he had sensed something and lowered his head to glance at his own chest, then suddenly revealed an extremely terrified expression in his eyes!

  "Huh?"

  At this moment, Lin Feng heard the muscular man let out a light "hmm" and looked up to see him bending down to pick up a black ring from the ground!

  "No!! Give it back to me!!"

  In an instant, Lin Feng's entire body seemed to have received a huge stimulus, and he suddenly bounced up from the ground, rushing towards the muscular man while stretching out his hand to grab back the ring in the other person's hand.

  His sudden change even startled the four people in front of him, and they couldn't understand why this 'good-for-nothing' suddenly went crazy - he could endure having his spiritual stone robbed, but lost control over a small ring?

  "Hmm!!"

  Although he was surprised in his heart, the muscular man's eyes immediately revealed a stern color, disdainfully coldly snorted, and with lightning speed, he kicked Lin Feng out of several meters.

  After kicking Lin Feng, the muscular man finally lowered his head to look at the ring in his hand. As soon as he saw it, his expression suddenly froze, and then his eyes widened, revealing an incredulous look.

  "This is... a Nautilus shell?! It's actually a Nautilus shell!! Haha! You actually have a Nautilus shell!" Then, the muscular man's eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement, and he couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

  "Give it back to me!!"

  Hearing the other party's loud laughter, Lin Feng, who had just crawled up from the ground, felt his heart sink into an icy abyss. He let out a shrill cry and charged forward again like a madman!

  "Looking for death!!"

  This time, the muscular man didn't need to lift a finger. The short and stout 'little brother' next to him let out a sly smile, and with one punch to Lin Feng's chest, sent him flying out.

  "Give it back to me!!"

  But Lin Feng seemed to have gone mad, and he climbed up again, charging forward once more!

  "Boom!!"

  This time, another tall and thin man took action. His cultivation was also at the third layer of Qi Refining. He punched out a fist that hit Lin Feng's temple squarely, sending him flying nearly ten meters away. After falling to the ground, he had no strength to get up again, as if he had fallen into a coma.

  At this time, the muscular man 'Lao Da' finally came back to his senses from the surprise. He looked at the Na Wu ring in his hand and then looked at Lin Feng who was lying on the ground. Suddenly, a sinister killing intent flashed in his eyes!

  "Fourth brother, kill him!!"

  The muscular man's face turned somewhat ferocious as he let out a low growl - originally thinking it was just a matter of snatching a few spirit stones, but unexpectedly the other person had a Na Wu ring on him. This thing wasn't even guaranteed to be possessed by a foundation-establishing cultivator, and in the lower circles of the Qi-refining stage, it was an extremely precious treasure. To avoid future trouble, he decided to kill Lin Feng and silence him.

  Anyway, the other party is just a small loose cultivator with no family or background, killing him won't cause any big problems.

  "Yes! Big brother!"

  The tall and thin man who had just hit Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then reacted, his eyes flashing with ferocity, he responded with a grunt, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and walked towards Lin Feng.

  And just then...

  Crack!

  Without warning, a gray "lightning bolt" descended from the sky and landed directly on Lin Feng's body!

  "Boom!!"

  A dull explosion sounded, Lin Feng's entire body turned a dark black, a cloud of black smoke rose from his body, and even a burnt smell wafted out...

  "Uh..."

  This sudden change shocked the four people, including the muscular man, and 'Lao Si' also stopped, staring blankly at Lin Feng who had been 'struck by lightning'.

  "This, this..."

  That muscular man was stunned, his expression turned strange, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that this little guy is even more evil than me? He actually got struck by lightning for no reason...

  "Boss, he seems... dead?"

  Lao Si looked at Lin Feng, who was motionless, and hesitated for a moment.

  The muscular man slightly furrowed his brow and carefully looked at Lin Feng several times, finding that he seemed to have really stopped moving - struck by lightning, shouldn't be able to survive, right...

  Nor did he have any interest in going forward to check on that charred 'corpse', the muscular man waved his hand and said: "Let's go!!"

  Got a Na ring, Muscle Boy was afraid of being seen if he stayed any longer, so he hastily took his three younger brothers and left.

  ……

  The four of them quickly disappeared into the distance on the streets, and the alley was completely restored to silence.

  Suddenly, Lin Feng, who was thought to have died by Muscle Man and others, moved his left hand finger slightly...
