Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

The Alliance may be a bit disappointing, but you’re now the Black Water Star Domain Alliance leader. If Qin Tiancang, just because he doesn’t get satisfactory terms, starts randomly slaughtering lower Alliance leaders, wouldn’t the Alliance fall into chaos?

I actually think his summoning you this time through the Demon Realm System has a very special meaning. You might end up with gains beyond your expectations."

Qiankunzi said seriously.

Right now Zhang Lingfeng is the number one powerhouse in the Black Water Star Domain, and also the Black Water Star Domain Alliance leader. Everyone takes Zhang Lingfeng as their guiding head.

Previously Qiankunzi was the leader here. Although he wasn’t qualified to come into contact with Qin Tiancang, he had heard of Qin Tiancang and was full of respect for him.

Now that he learned Qin Tiancang would summon Zhang Lingfeng in the Demon Realm System, Qiankunzi, though aware the matter was not simple, wasn’t worried that Zhang Lingfeng would be in mortal danger.

First off, the Demon Realm System is a descent of consciousness or Divine Soul.

Even if Qin Tiancang’s Magical Power is boundless, if he’s a powerful Integration Stage Cultivator, wielding the Power of the Stars or heaven-defying Divine Techniques, he still couldn’t kill Zhang Lingfeng within the Demon Realm System.

Even if he could shatter that strand of Divine Soul Power belonging to Zhang Lingfeng in the Demon Realm, with Zhang Lingfeng’s Soul Power having already transformed, once he returned to the real world his Divine Soul Power would rapidly heal.

In short, there’s no need to worry about his life.

What needs consideration is whether Qin Tiancang will use other methods to force Zhang Lingfeng to compromise, making him have no choice but to hand over fifty percent of the Qi Fortune.

But after Qiankunzi and Zhang Lingfeng pondered long and hard, they still couldn’t figure out what means Qin Tiancang could use.

"Then I’ll go see him."

In the end, Zhang Lingfeng projected his Divine Soul into the Demon Realm System.

Qiankunzi and Master Tianshui and the others were responsible for guarding Zhang Lingfeng’s physical body. Once any danger descended, they would instantly rouse Zhang Lingfeng.

In reality, Zhang Lingfeng’s body was already almost fused with the Ancient Blue Star Law and Life Force.

Once danger descended, whether it was fluctuations of the Ancient Blue Star Law or tremors of Life Force, they could instantly pull Zhang Lingfeng back into reality. Even without Master Tianshui and the others guarding him, if some evildoer walked up to Zhang Lingfeng intending to destroy his body, they would first have to break through the Ancient Blue Star Law Defense. By the time the defense was broken, Zhang Lingfeng would already have awakened in the real world.

At the Level his strength has reached, how could he possibly face mortal danger just because a strand of Divine Soul was projected into the Demon Realm System?

It’s only because he is particularly important that Qiankunzi and the others treat every single matter with utmost caution, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

Inside the Demon Realm System.

Zhang Lingfeng’s Divine Soul was projected into a twisted void.

Starry Storms and even starry fissures appeared within his field of vision.

His heart jolted.

These Starry Storms and starry fissures looked almost like one-to-one recreations of those in reality. Whether the Power fluctuations or the impact effects, they were exactly the same as in the real world.

In short, seeing these Starry Storms and starry fissures, knowing full well they couldn’t take his life, Zhang Lingfeng still felt fear in his heart.

Suddenly the Starry Storms and starry fissures before his eyes formed into a human figure. The boundless starry sky turned into a forest of concrete, and Zhang Lingfeng arrived in a Future City brimming with technology, surpassing reality.

He found himself standing atop the roof of a building at the very heart of the city.

A burly bald man appeared before his eyes. The man exuded authority without anger; he seemed like the spiritual pillar of his world. Zhang Lingfeng even felt that the steel-and-concrete forest beneath his feet was like strands of hair on this bald man’s body.

As for himself, he was just a flea on the bald man’s body, something that could be completely ignored.

"Qin... Leader Sir."

Zhang Lingfeng wanted to call out the other’s name, but involuntarily blurted out the four words "Leader Sir."

It seemed that here, whether the Law or the Life Force, even the every breath and thought of all living beings, were tightly controlled by Qin Tiancang—including other people’s thoughts.

And this was only a virtual world.

If it were in reality, encountering such an existence—what kind of experience would that be?

"Truly not willing to give even ten percent?"

Qin Tiancang asked.

He was holding a little kitten in his hand. The kitten was very docile and was seriously sizing Zhang Lingfeng up.

"Gulp... Leader Sir’s Divine Techniques are vast and mighty, how could you set your sights on the Black Water Star Realm Qi Fortune? You just want to test me a bit. As long as I can shatter Shen Rufeng’s Law, I’m willing to serve the Upper Alliance and charge into battle for Leader Sir."

Zhang Lingfeng wanted to answer "I won’t give even ten percent," but under Qin Tiancang’s oppressive aura, Zhang Lingfeng felt his mouth disobeying his will. It was as if the moment he birthed the slightest thought of resistance, his Divine Soul would be instantly shattered.

Although it posed a threat to his life, he knew acting this way wouldn’t benefit him.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to summon him, it meant the situation could be eased. Zhang Lingfeng saw no need to act rashly and provoke such a powerful existence.

"Shen Rufeng once came to me, asking me not to interfere in the Black Water Star Realm’s affairs. My sending Black Boat to look for you was precisely to go against Shen Rufeng. I want fifty percent of the Black Water Star Realm Qi Fortune—am I being excessive?"

Qin Tiancang asked.

"Leader Sir’s painstaking efforts, I am endlessly grateful for. Once the matter succeeds, I’m willing to serve Leader Sir."

Zhang Lingfeng said respectfully.

"Truly not willing to give even ten percent?"

Qin Tiancang pressed.

Boom!

The world changed.

Zhang Lingfeng arrived in the starry sky, surrounded by Starry Storms and by starry fissures that could tear his physical body and even his Divine Soul into powder.

Endless death aura swept over him.

Zhang Lingfeng felt that even if he broke Shen Rufeng’s Law, letting his Power Penetration reach into the Black Water Star Domain, able to rouse the Black Water Star Realm Law Power to assist him, he still wouldn’t be a match for Qin Tiancang at this moment. The other could easily annihilate his body and soul.

Yet now that matters had reached this point—

Zhang Lingfeng steeled himself and said, "The Black Water Star Realm Qi Fortune can only remain with the Black Water Star Domain Life. Whether it’s Shen Rufeng or Leader Sir, I won’t yield even ten percent!"

"Boom!"

The storms and fissures swept toward Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng fell into endless darkness.

It was as if he were trapped in a dark spacetime, with no knowing how many years had passed. Just as his mentality was about to collapse, a ray of light appeared, and he arrived in a peach-blossom paradise.

Qin Tiancang was brewing tea.

Zhang Lingfeng was lying on top of a stone table.

"Leader Sir, you..."

Zhang Lingfeng was puzzled.

While brewing tea, Qin Tiancang said, "Faced with death you don’t retreat in the slightest, and you won’t even give me face. I believe you have enough confidence and strength to shatter Shen Rufeng’s Law.

If you agree to my request, then even if I help you, you may not be able to break Shen Rufeng’s Law. Shen Rufeng’s Law, its Penetration into the Black Water Star Realm Law Power may only be thirty percent, but it’s deeply rooted. Breaking it isn’t something that can be done in a day or two.

If not for his tribulation being imminent, about to face a tribulation crisis, your actions in the Black Water Star Domain wouldn’t have drawn his attention at all."

Qin Tiancang explained.

"You’ve never thought of obtaining the Black Water Star Realm Qi Fortune?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked in delight.

"I have. I always have. But I also have to be able to get it. I am not Life born of the Black Water Star Domain, and my strength is constrained by the Heavenly Dao Balance. Without your help I simply cannot obtain the Black Water Star Realm Qi Fortune."

Qin Tiancang looked helpless.

"Once I break Shen Rufeng’s Law and comprehend the Black Water Star Realm Law, I definitely won’t let you down. I’ll wholeheartedly pledge my loyalty to you."

Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

"Do you know what kind of concept it is to comprehend the Black Water Star Realm Law?"

Qin Tiancang asked.

"I don’t."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.

"If you can comprehend the Black Water Star Realm Law, you won’t just undergo Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation; your physical body will also be tightly linked to the Stars of the Black Water Star Domain, and your Cultivation will grow with sun and moon. Even if you don’t reach the Integration Stage, you’ll be almost there.

At that time, given your temperament, you may not necessarily give me face."

Qin Tiancang said.

"This... I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t."

Zhang Lingfeng waved his hands hastily.

"Unless you take me as your Master. I’ll unconditionally help you fight Shen Rufeng. You and I will be bound by a master-disciple relationship, our Qi Fortune linked. Only then will I believe that in the future you can remain loyal to me!"

Qin Tiancang said sternly.
