Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

"Impossible!"

Yang Nan didn’t believe it.

Although he didn’t know Zhang Lingfeng well, with Zhang Lingfeng’s talents and aptitude, it was impossible for him to choose this path.

Qin Tiancang also didn’t believe it, but since Shen Rufeng personally made a move and Zhang Lingfeng conversed with him, he felt uneasy and thought interference was necessary.

Otherwise, if by any chance Zhang Lingfeng was beguiled by Shen Rufeng, all efforts would be wasted.

Even Shen Rufeng himself didn’t believe it, but Zhang Lingfeng throwing himself into the embrace of the singing and dancing troupe, drinking and making merry every day while completely forgetting cultivation, was something Shen Rufeng witnessed firsthand.

"The cultivation content I taught you, you seem entirely uninterested, never genuinely cultivating it. Truthfully, you always intended to break my laws and never considered cooperating with me."

It went on for ten days.

Shen Rufeng noticed something was wrong. Zhang Lingfeng showed no eagerness or desire to learn the secret technique he taught. On the contrary, he constantly procrastinated.

As if Zhang Lingfeng wanted to waste his time just as much.

After all, being a Great Cultivator at the Integration Stage, he couldn’t fully grasp Zhang Lingfeng’s thoughts, but could still quickly detect something amiss.

However, the fast flow of time in the Basic Star Realm caused ten days to pass before he realized.

During these ten days, Zhang Lingfeng gained two hundred million Coasting Along Value each day, given that Shen Rufeng personally taught him, imparting the Third Major Cultivation System’s Dharma Gate, a secret technique that could devour laws and life force.

It was called the "Heaven-Swallowing Technique".

It was immensely valuable.

Gaining two hundred million Coasting Along Value daily wasn’t exaggerated.

"Since you’ve discovered it and are still willing to teach me the Heaven-Swallowing Technique!"

Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

"Then you’d better cultivate well!"

Shen Rufeng’s figure quickly vanished.

Simultaneously, he issued a recall order for Fairy Peony and others.

For some reason, a strong premonition led him to feel that his actions would not only fail to stop Zhang Lingfeng’s rise but might also accelerate Zhang Lingfeng’s breakthroughs.

"Uncle."

Shen Country Star Realm.

In Shen Rufeng’s palace, Shen Qiao’an paid a visit.

"Qiao’an!"

Shen Rufeng managed a faint smile.

"Uncle is still worried about the tribulation?"

Shen Qiao’an asked.

As the most outstanding member of the Shen family, destined for cultivation in the Ancient Moon Sect, Shen Qiao’an not only possessed the Perfection of Divinity Transformation, but also had his power penetrate into his own Star Realm.

In a vast family like the Shen’s, each direct lineage descendant’s birth follows precise protocols, and the Star Realm where Shen Qiao’an was born had laws and life force tailor-made to make it easier for him to comprehend the Star Realm Law he resided in, allowing him to carry stronger laws and life force upon entering the Ancient Moon Sect for cultivation.

"Apparently, Zhang Lingfeng outsmarted your father and me."

Shen Rufeng said.

"Oh, what happened?"

Shen Qiao’an was incredulous, as the entire Shen family had been talking about Zhang Lingfeng seriously, with Shen Rufeng’s successful tribulation strengthening the Shen family’s power, making Shen Rufeng’s tribulation one of the family’s top priorities, equal in importance to Shen Qiao’an’s entry into the Ancient Moon Sect for cultivation.

"We thought about enticing Zhang Lingfeng to stop cultivating, delaying his breaking of the law, but Zhang Lingfeng’s actions were most peculiar."

Shen Rufeng was frustrated.

He then recounted the events to Shen Qiao’an truthfully.

"Uncle suspects Zhang Lingfeng truly possesses the ability to grow stronger without cultivating?"

Shen Qiao’an found it amusing.

"Not exactly, but it does seem like Zhang Lingfeng is making fools of us."

Shen Rufeng couldn’t accept that someone could defy Heavenly Dao’s constraints and violate the law of reward for diligence.

"Since this is the case, why worry, Uncle? I feel that Zhang Lingfeng may just be bluffing, making a big show. Uncle frets too much about the tribulation’s success, thus harboring doubts, allowing Zhang Lingfeng to outwit you. I refuse to believe he wouldn’t cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Technique you imparted to him.

Breaking the law and cultivating the Heaven-Swallowing Technique fundamentally don’t conflict!"

Shen Qiao’an asserted confidently.

Shen Rufeng was momentarily stunned, suddenly feeling he had been tricked by Zhang Lingfeng into giving away a cultivation technique, but recalling that he initially intended for Zhang Lingfeng to indulge in it, he found himself bemused.

Black Water Star Realm.

Zhang Lingfeng did not stop Fairy Peony and the others from leaving.

For Fairy Peony and others were life forms created by Shen Rufeng, and compared to the covenant relationship with Mengba, it was far more secure. If they couldn’t return, Shen Rufeng could easily obliterate them.

"It’s time to enhance my personal power."

Zhang Lingfeng rubbed his hands together.

With Shen Rufeng’s help, he managed to accumulate nearly three billion Coasting Along Value in a span of just over a month. If all of this were used on the laws of the Black Water Star Realm and the exchange rate remained unchanged, his law penetration in the Black Water Star Realm could surpass Shen Rufeng directly.
