Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Shen Rufeng’s direct disciple, Yan Tong, delivered an investigation report, which appeared in front of everyone as a holographic projection.

"Master, uncles and esteemed elders, this is the most detailed investigation content regarding Zhang Lingfeng that I have compiled.

I have noticed something incredible.

It’s that Zhang Lingfeng seems not to cultivate much, his strength appears to increase with ease, as if, according to rumors, he is blessed with Qi Fortune and is a chosen one."

Yan Tong reported.

"The Qi Fortune of the Black Water Star Realm is almost entirely in the hands of our Shen Family, where does his Qi Fortune come from?"

Shen Rufeng said angrily.

"Based on the investigation feedback, Zhang Lingfeng... possesses exceptional talent, whether it’s the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment or the Seven-star Golden Core, even mastering the Life Law and penetrating his power into the Black Water Star Realm Law, it all seems extremely easy for him..."

Yan Tong did not dare to look directly into Shen Rufeng’s eyes, relying only on his investigation report to convey his observations.

"I asked you to investigate how Zhang Lingfeng rapidly increases his strength, and you are telling me that Zhang Lingfeng doesn’t cultivate much to achieve this?"

Shen Rufeng said with a gloomy face.

Finally, unable to control himself, he waved a hand casually.

Yan Tong’s body was instantly shattered, turning into a mist of blood. The blood mist condensed in the air, reshaping into Yan Tong’s form.

Yan Tong trembled with fear, kneeling and kowtowing: "Master, this disciple dares not to deceive you!"

His aura weakened significantly.

Although he had the ability to reshape his body, the destruction of the body consumed a vast amount of life force, which would take years of cultivation to restore.

"Yan Tong’s investigation report is not wrong. This is the information I obtained from the Alliance, Zhang Lingfeng is indeed extraordinarily gifted. Whether it’s the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the Seven-star Golden Core, or comprehending the Dao Seed, and penetrating his power into the Black Water Star Realm, all these were completed without anyone noticing."

One of the Shen Family leaders said.

This person was Shen Rufeng’s elder brother, as well as Shen Qiao’an’s father, and a Tribulation Crossing Immortal, called Shen Junsong, one of the true masters of the Shen Family.

"What suggestion do you have, brother?"

Shen Rufeng inquired.

"Have you not realized, the more you press Zhang Lingfeng, the faster his strength increases?"

Shen Junsong asked in return.

"This..."

Shen Rufeng’s expression froze.

"No matter how talented a person is, they can’t defy the Heavenly Dao, for diligence is rewarded by the Heavenly Dao; there can’t be any problem with this principle. Zhang Lingfeng may seem not to cultivate much on the surface, but in reality, he might be hidden from sight, dedicating himself to cultivate day and night.

The more you pressure him, the more he pretends to be at ease, but behind the scenes, he is trying every possible way to cultivate hard.

Now that he has penetrated his power into the Black Water Star Realm,

the Black Water Star Realm is like his own home. Whatever he does at home, we wouldn’t possibly know, so these investigation reports are both true and false."

Shen Junsong analyzed.

"What Brother said makes sense."

...

Everyone nodded in agreement.

For diligence is rewarded by the Heavenly Dao, this has been an unchanging truth since ancient times. When cultivation reaches their level, neither Shen Rufeng nor Shen Junsong could believe that someone could grow to Zhang Lingfeng’s level without much cultivation.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng were a reincarnated great being, or awakened with an immensely terrifying bloodline, he could not naturally grow to this level without cultivation.

Even some Ancient Great Demons

could not possess a pseudo-Divinity Transformation realm power in their twenties.

"But given that our investigation reports all contain content about Zhang Lingfeng being able to increase his strength without needing to cultivate, this indicates that all this information is what Zhang Lingfeng is willing for us to see.

Why not turn this to our advantage, forcing Zhang Lingfeng into this state, devising every means to hinder his strength advancement.

Otherwise, once he fully unleashes his efforts in cultivation, he might truly shatter the laws within ten years."

Shen Junsong said gravely.

"If within these ten years, Zhang Lingfeng cannot break the laws, then a year from now, I will successfully cross the tribulation."

Shen Rufeng said.

Due to the difference in time flow between the Intermediate Star Realm and the Basic Star Realm.

A decade in the Basic Star Realm.

But here, it’s only a year.

"Withdraw the Shadow Alliance’s bounty, and send a set of the Third Major Cultivation System’s secret techniques to Zhang Lingfeng. The content of the secret techniques will not relate to law penetration and will mainly revolve around arrays.

If he wants to break the laws, he will surely look into Sirius and attempt to break the arrays on Sirius. Upon seeing the arrays, he will undoubtedly study them seriously.

Perhaps ten years will pass in the blink of an eye.

Of course, providing only arrays might arouse suspicion, so Shen Family must express a stand, letting him know that should you succeed in crossing the tribulation after thirty years, the Shen Family is willing to relinquish the Black Water Star Realm, with no regrets.

Secondly, send from your palace, the most beautiful and enchanting performing troupe, who is not a threat, into the Black Water Star Realm to attend to Zhang Lingfeng.

I refuse to believe that Zhang Lingfeng could maintain composure, and still focus on cultivation. Even if it doesn’t stop his cultivation, these measures could distract him, slowing down his strength advancement, and buy you time to succeed in crossing the tribulation."

Shen Junsong said slowly.

Shen Rufeng’s eyes lit up, respectfully saying: "Brother’s tactic is brilliant!"

"To attack and destroy the heart, sometimes when dealing with a person, if the goal can be achieved, it’s not always necessary to kill the opponent. Remember, killing is the most superficial method; there are countless ways to ruin a person."

Shen Junsong reminded.

"I understand."

Shen Rufeng nodded and said.

"This relates to the future of the Shen Family. This matter must succeed and cannot afford to fail, quickly implement it!"

Shen Junsong’s projection quickly disappeared.

The other members of the Shen Family then showed admiration on their faces and subsequently also vanished.

"For now, let you enjoy the benefits, once I succeed in crossing the tribulation, I demand tenfold restitution."

Shen Rufeng turned sullen again.

"You personally select, send from my palace, the most beautiful and charming performing troupe to Zhang Lingfeng’s side, to see how Zhang Lingfeng will react."

Shen Rufeng instructed Yan Tong.

"Yes, disciple understands."

Yan Tong bowed in response.
