Chapter 4: The Second Layer of Acquired Realm

  Behind Iron Sword Gate, the mountain is shrouded in mist and cloud, with steep cliffs that plunge into the depths.

  In front of the cliff, strange rocks are towering, and no grass grows.

  Ye Feng looked around, not a single figure in sight. He nodded his head in satisfaction and relief. This place was extremely remote, and on ordinary days, few people came here. At this moment, with the scorching sun overhead, there was no need to worry.

  Although Zhao Dahai is simple-minded, it doesn't mean he's a fool.

  Today, Ye Feng's abnormal situation made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. He closely followed Ye Feng, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation to see if there was an ambush, while tightly staring at Ye Feng to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.

  The two stopped on an empty space in front of a cliff.

  Zhao Dahai found that there was nothing unusual around, and this place was not far from the dormitory. Ye Feng didn't dare to do anything to him, so he scolded himself for being overly cautious. Thinking of how Ye Feng had just made him lose face, his anger ignited, and he cursed: "Turtle son, what did you call me over here for? Want to beg for mercy?"

  "Hmph... That's easy, I won't make you do anything in public. Just kneel down and kowtow three times to me now. Then, when we get back, apologize to me in front of everyone and acknowledge your mistake, and I'll let you off!"

  In the end, Zhao Dahai laughed triumphantly with a loud guffaw.

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Who is this turtle son scolding?"

  Zhao Dahi didn't think and responded: "Turtle son is scolding you!"

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, it's indeed the turtle grandson scolding me!"

  What? This conversation sounds familiar. Could it be that Mo Fan's first time is going to be dedicated to the world of Shen Yin or, at the very least, She Diao?

  "The Nine Yin Scripture", Brother is here!

  Auntie, wait for your brother!

  Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment, then reacted and glared at him with anger, shouting: "You turtle-son-of-a-bitch, how dare you mock me! If I don't strip your turtle-son-of-a-bitch skin off in three layers today, my surname is not Zhao!"

  The roar of anger had barely fallen when Zhao Dahai took action, taking a big step forward and slamming his fist into Ye Feng's chest with incredible speed and force.

  He was a second-level master of the Post-Heaven Realm, and he had been born strong since childhood, with considerable strength. This punch would be nothing to a high-ranking martial artist, but it was more than enough to kill an ox, let alone an ordinary person who couldn't withstand it.

  Zhao Dahai knew what level Ye Feng was at, and he didn't dare to use full force for fear of causing death. He only used 70% of his strength. However, if Ye Feng were still at his previous level, even with just this 70% strength, it would be enough to beat him so badly that he would suffer internal injuries, and without a month's rest, he wouldn't be able to fully recover. Moreover, even after recovering from the injury, there would still be lingering effects.

  Ye Feng really didn't dodge, and this punch heavily hit his chest.

  Zhao Dahi's heart was filled with joy, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face: If I don't beat this turtle grandson until he spits blood today, then the turtle grandson won't know why the flowers are so red! Let's see if you dare to go against me now, you turtle grandson!

  Ye Feng's mouth still had a faint smile, and looking at that smile, Zhao Dahai only felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

  Fist touched Ye Feng's chest, Zhao Dahai suddenly froze, his eyes wide with shock, staring at Ye Feng in disbelief, exclaiming: "Post-Heaven Realm Third Layer?! You... actually succeeded in refining your Qi and entered the Post-Heaven Realm Third Layer?!"

  A "turtle son" curse rose to his lips, but was swallowed back down by Zhao Dahai, and he didn't dare scold again.

  "Wrong, the correct answer is Hou Tian Jing's second layer! And..." Ye Feng said with a faint smile, "...your mouth stinks!"

  With a few slaps, Ye Feng slapped Zhao Dahi several times, and his face immediately turned red and swollen.

  Zhao Dahai's fist was still clenched, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead as he stared at Ye Feng in shock.

  Ye Feng coldly smiled and struck out with his palm, heavily hitting Zhao Dahai's chest.

  Zhao Dahai's stout body suddenly became light and floated backwards, flying out for a full twenty feet before landing on the sharp edge of a strange rock. He then rolled around in circles on the ground, which was mixed with stones, yellow sand, and mud, before finally coming to a stop.

  Zhao Dahai struggled to his feet, covered in mud and looking extremely disheveled. He didn't even bother to brush off the dirt. His eyes were still wide with shock as he stared at Ye Feng, his voice trembling: "No, no... you're a Post-Heaven Realm cultivator of the third layer!"

  Ye Feng smiled and did not refute.

  He is destined not to be a person of the same world, let him think whatever he wants.

  One's own affairs, one is most clear about. Without a doubt, his cultivation was only at the Second Layer of the Acquired Realm, and Zhao Dahai was also at the Second Layer of the Acquired Realm, but... not only are people different from each other in this way, even those at the Second Layer of the Acquired Realm are not the same.

  Applying the reincarnation business philosophy, this is - "What you don't know, I do; what you also know, I excel at; what you also excel at, I strive for perfection!"

  With a puff, Zhao Dahai felt a suffocating sensation in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!

  Ye Feng didn't say anything, just smiled and took two steps forward.

  Zhao Dahai was both fearful and terrified, taking two steps back, his voice trembling as he said: "Y-you... what do you want to do?"

  "Guess?" Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You guess? There's a reward if you're right."

  Zhao Dahai immediately begged for mercy: "Sorry, sorry, it's all my fault for not recognizing the greatness of Mount Tai. Brother Feng, please forgive me and don't hold this against me. If you spare me, I'll consider you my elder brother from now on, and whatever you say goes - I'll absolutely follow your orders!"

  Ye Feng was taken aback. Hmph, unexpectedly, this illiterate and boorish person actually had no shame or bottom line.

  "Then do you still want us to chop firewood for you today?"

  Zhao Dahai shook his head repeatedly: "How dare I, how dare I."

  Ye Feng said: "Then will you dare to bully our dormitory again?"

  Zhao Dahai shook his head violently: "Even if I had ten times more guts, I wouldn't dare!"

  Yefeng said: "What happened before, I won't bother you about it. But today you scolded people for no reason, shouldn't you sincerely apologize?"

  Zhao Dahai was taken aback, glanced at Ye Feng, and immediately smiled apologetically: "It's only right, absolutely right."

  "If you think it's like that, why don't you hurry up and apologize?"

  Zhao Dahai smiled apologetically and turned around to jog away, but Ye Feng shouted: "Come back, brother's words aren't finished yet!"

  Zhao Dahai immediately ran back.

  Ye Feng said, "In our Iron Sword Sect, what Ye Zhangmen values most is talent. If he finds out that you've already reached the third layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, then you'll definitely become an inner sect disciple. I'm afraid you're too stupid, so I'm reminding you: if you want to take revenge, it's best to weigh your chances first."

  Zhao Dahai smiled and said: "Who dares, who dares."

  "Alright, get out of here quickly."

  Zhao Dahai's horse rolled over without stopping.

  Ye Feng's mouth corner revealed a satisfied smile. Since Zhao Dahai thought he was at the third layer of the Post-Heaven realm, then he might as well take advantage of it.

  It was just to prevent Zhao Dahai from revealing his true situation that he deliberately reminded him.

  If this matter is spread out, not only will Zhao Da Hai lose face, but he himself may also gain Ye Fang's favor and become an inner disciple of the Iron Sword Sect.

  This is definitely not what Zhao Dahai wants to see.

  In fact, Zhao Dahai is a person who, although his brain is clever, he himself is extremely concerned with saving face. Today, he was embarrassed in front of Ye Feng and as long as Ye Feng doesn't say anything, he basically won't speak out about it. It's actually Ye Feng who is worrying too much.

  Zhao Dahai returned to his dormitory in disarray, with all the dispatched disciples staring at him with wide eyes, a mix of astonishment, curiosity and surprise.

  What's even more shocking is that after Zhao Dahai rushed back to the dormitory in a hurry, he went straight to Wang Xia'er. Everyone thought he was going to scold him, but unexpectedly, the plot took a 180-degree turn, and he actually bowed his head and apologized to Wang Xia'er!

  A burst of noise, a flurry of discussion.

  There's no doubt that Zhao Dahai is like this because of Ye Feng!

  After a long time, the crowd finally dispersed.

  Ye Feng had a dogtail grass at the corner of his mouth, with both hands behind his back, and only then did he stroll back leisurely.

  The people in the dormitory immediately gathered around, Wang Xiaoer pulled Ye Feng's arm and excitedly said: "Madman, just now...just now Zhao Dahai apologized to me! You're too awesome! I, I..."

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Speak slowly, no one is competing with you."

  Yue Feng even slapped Ye Feng's shoulder, his eyes shining brightly, and laughed: "Crazy guy, you're too awesome! Quickly tell everyone what you did to defeat Zhao Da Hai, such a powerful person?!"

  Yefeng smiled and said, "Nothing much, just that the guy grabbed his hand, they chatted about life, discussed philosophy, looked forward to the future, and then he suddenly realized how messed up he was before. Ashamed and enraged, he slapped himself a few times and rolled around on the ground."

  Yue Feng slapped Ye Feng's shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Go to your grandfather, nonsense!"

  Everyone was chatting and laughing, Ye Feng didn't want to say much, and no one bothered him again.
