Chapter 30: Breakthrough
Finding out that Lin Feng was a cultivator, the team leader of the guards Xie Qiang’s face was originally red due to anger, was now extremely pale.
Now knowing Lin Feng’s ident.i.ty as a Cultivator, Xie Qiang could not help but strongly curse his no good brother who offended a cultivator.
When the apocalypse arrived, very few people can evolve and become a cultivator. Every Cultivator that was capable of dealing with high cla.s.s zombies were all formidable existences, when compared to ordinary people it was like comparing heaven and earth.
Zhan Lang’s population slightly more than 50 thousand only has a measly one hundred or so Cultivators. All of them held distinguished positions high up. Let alone ordinary people, even the eight great captain guards all had to obediently salute them.
Regardless of levels, the status of cultivators and their strength was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
Large beads of sweat started to drip from Xie Qiang’s face, suddenly all of his previous resentment faded. Feeling a sense of anxiety deep within his heart, Xie Qing’s legs started to tremble on their own.
“This one did not know a great cultivator has decided to grace the black market, this one has greatly offended, but beg the venerable one to forgive.”
Xie Qiang did not bother to put up a resistance, he was only hoping that the opposing party would forgive him.
Heated weapons were quite effective against low level cultivators, but Xie Qiang did not dare to think about drawing his gun. Injuring cultivators were a huge crime, and the it was a capital offense. Not to mention that he did not know the other’s level, even the captain of the guards won’t be able to deal with a level 1 Cultivator.
“œIs this how a team leader of the guards should educate his own brother?” Looking at Xie Qing’s appearance, Lin Feng raised his eyebrows under the mask.
He didn’t expect that the ident.i.ty of a Cultivator was so useful, even though he was not a cultivator under the Zhan Lang base. He did not estimate that the opposing party would be so frightened to learn that he was a cultivator.
In any case, this situation was still good at eliminating a lot of unnecessary trouble. It seems that the ident.i.ty of being a cultivator would bring many advantages to Lin Feng.
“Eating other people’s canned food and hitting them, and calling backup. You guards are doing a really good job.”
Lin Feng only said this in a normal way but Xie Qing was frightened stiff.
“That was due to the poor management, hope to seek the great one’s mercy.”
Killing in the base was not permitted, but this did not apply to cultivators. In the apocalypse, power is king. Cultivators were beyond the rules. Even if Lin Feng who had the ident.i.ty of a Cultivator was to kill a person today, the base would not pursue the matter. The reason why the base would not interfere was that because the murderer was a Cultivator.
The law of the jungle, the strong was to be respected. This were the rules of the Apocalypse.
Afraid that Lin Feng would kill him in a fit of rage, Xie Qiang quickly pleaded.
Fearing that Lin Feng was not satisfied, Xie Qiang turned around and continuously slapped Xie Dong’s face for more than ten times. Xie Dong’s face eventually became similar to a steamed bun.
“Not teaching you properly, letting you bully people. You dare to provoke a cultivator, see if I don’t dare to kill you today.”
Xie Qiang did not dare to pull a bluff, each of his strikes were heavy handed and beating Xie Dong till his mouth was oozing blood.
“Enough!”
Lin Feng saw that Xie Qiang was not acting when he was teaching Xie Dong a lesson. But this was not going to solve the root of the problem.
“I will remember this incident, hope that you will take good care of this matter.”
Without saying anything more, Lin Feng brought Dong Wu and left the black market.
“Bro, you said this cultivator wouldn’t bring up the matter with the higher ups in the base?”
Watching Lin Feng walk away, Xie Dong carefully muttered to Xie Qiang.
“You still have the audacity to talk after you caused this to happen. From today onwards, you will stay at home and not leave. Count yourself lucky that you could still keep your life. If something like that happens again, This one would be sooner or later killed by you.”
Xie Qiang was regretting, he never imagined that his brother would offend a cultivator.
“Luckily heaven was merciful, that cultivator did not make it a big matter.”
Xie Qiang silently prayed in his heart.
A week later”…
Within Lin Feng’s room there was the sound of wind, Lin Feng’s mind once again had a flash of silver light. His soul crystal once again expanded larger. Lin Feng has now become a level 4 cultivator.
During this entire week, Lin Feng did not go out. Instead, he spent his time absorbing white crystals. Lin Feng realised that his white crystal absorption rate is significantly faster than Dou Yuxin. Lin Feng also absorbs more energy than Dou Yuxin.
For example, Dou Yuxin needs five white crystals to go from an ordinary person to a cultivator while Lin Feng only need to absorb two white crystals. After Dou Yuxin reached level 1, she used thirty white crystals but still she hasn’t broken through. Whereas Lin Feng only absorbed a dozen white crystals and broke through to level 2. This was a difference of several times.
“Could it be that the physique of the people in this world is different?”
Having not discovered other reasons, Lin Feng could only give credit to his body.
Within the one week, after Lin Feng absorbed about a hundred white crystals he successfully leveled up to level 4. The difference between a level 3 and level 4 cultivator was drastic, he clearly felt that his present strength and speed when compared to when he was a level 3 cultivator had more than doubled.
Since he returned back from the black market, Lin Feng had not left his house.1 He had earned one thousand white crystals which was enough to last the three of them for a quite awhile. Ever since they had encountered the cla.s.s four zombie, Lin Feng was constantly training himself to be stronger. If not for him being lucky that day, Lin Feng would have been killed. In this apocalyptic world, Survival was paramount. One must be strong enough to survive.
Examining his apocalypse watch, when he was promoted to level 4 cultivator his fighting strength unexpectedly reached 1000. While his city ranking rose to 1800.
What Lin Feng did not know was that, fighting strength was not based on cultivator levels. This world’s science and technology was more developed, a person’s fighting ability could be judged using their DNA. As for Lin Feng, his const.i.tution was very good, in addition with his martial arts and his chaos attribute. Lin Feng could be comparable to a level 5 cultivator except Lin Feng himself doesn’t know.
The entire Tian Qi city has five million people in it’s population, it is said that there were only about ten thousand cultivators.
Being able to place within the top thousand among the ten thousand cultivators, Lin Feng’s strength could be said to be in the upper area. But this doesn’t mean that Lin Feng was completely safe, there were still many strong presences.
Not talking about such a far off goal, within the medium Zhan Lang base there was only Wolf who had reached level 7. While at the same time there were just two famous people at level 6 and twelve level 5 Cultivators. Lin Feng’s strength can still be improved.`
In addition to cultivators, there were still advanced zombies. For example, the cla.s.s four zombie and perhaps even stronger zombies. Lin Feng did not know how zombies become that powerful, he only knew the strong won’t die to advanced zombies.
“Since I came to the apocalyptic world, I must live well!”
Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, Lin Feng declared in his mind.
