C12 Murder

"Ah?" Xiao Feng was initially taken aback, but then he quickly nodded in agreement, "Alright!"

He wasn't sure why Armor Senior suddenly wanted to teach him the spear technique, but learning it was definitely a good thing!

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's response, a black light shot into his forehead. A flood of information immediately filled his mind.

"One-line Vast Heaven!"

"With the spear, I draw a line. From this concept, I crafted this spear technique. Within that line, I want people to only see the spear wind and not the vast sky above!"

Imposing!

It was incredibly imposing, almost to the point of being unreasonable!

That was Xiao Feng's immediate impression of the spear technique.

"Senior, is this spear technique particularly high-level?"

"Level? No, it doesn't have a level. The power it can manifest entirely depends on the spear wielder themselves. This technique is domineering; it seeks your mindset, your presence. You must have the conviction that with one thrust of your spear, all will kneel!"

Xiao Feng nodded thoughtfully, "That explains why I sensed such a domineering spirit from the technique. Who is its creator?"

Armor Senior replied with pride, "The original master of the Overlord Spear is the one who created this technique."

It was him!

That made sense.

Armor Senior added, "You are the second person to practice this technique. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Xiao Feng's demeanor grew serious. Armor Senior's willingness to pass on the technique indicated his great faith in him.

"Rest assured, Senior. I will not let you down!"

After parting ways with Xianyu, Xiao Feng began his cultivation. Time slipped by, and the flying boat drew ever closer to the Mountain Sea Sect.

Standing on the deck of the flying boat, Xiao Feng inhaled deeply.

Xianyu emerged from her meditation and approached him, "You've been cultivating for such a long time, and now we're nearly at the Mountain Sea Sect!"

Her words carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but her voice was devoid of any real displeasure.

In this world, strength was the ultimate truth, and cultivation was essential.

"Yes, we're almost there. I'm quite excited!"

The Mountain Sea Sect, the sacred training ground of the entire Purvavideha, was a coveted destination for nearly every cultivator.

It boasted the finest cultivation resources in Purvavideha, as well as the most formidable Prodigies in the land.

As they conversed, the flying boat decelerated, and Lau Ruyan emerged, announcing, "We've arrived. Welcome to the Mountain Sea Sect!"

Xiao Feng's gaze swept across the landscape, where the sea embraced the mountains, each peak and island adorned with stunning architecture that exuded grandeur.

Lau Ruyan led them to a mountain peak and declared, "This is my domain, Yanfeng. From now on, you two will reside here. I have only two disciples, and you are them."

She turned to Xiao Feng and instructed, "Study the Mountain Sea Sect's laws carefully! Any breach of our laws here will not be tolerated."

This left Xiao Feng wondering just how little trust his master had in him, prioritizing law over powerful techniques. Was he really that troublesome?

With a hint of bitterness, Xiao Feng replied, "Understood."

Regarding Xianyu, Lau Ruyan took her to a separate palace, as Xianyu was her official disciple, while Xiao Feng was more of an unexpected addition.

Once they departed, Xiao Feng entered his own palace, which was far more majestic than the main hall of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

He delved into the Mountain Sea Sect's laws, and while studying, he also practiced the One-line Vast Heaven technique, which kept him engaged.

In time, Xiao Feng perused various books, gaining a deeper insight into this world.

The world was divided into four major continents: Purvavideha, the Western Extreme Mystic Continent, the Northern Frost Continent, and the Southern Blessed Continent, all surmounted by the Central Plains.

As implied, the Central Plains were considered the Upper Realm of this world.

The records fell silent on what lay beyond the Central Plains.

Yet, the upcoming Great Competition, held every ten years, would take place in the Central Plains, where Xiao Feng anticipated uncovering more secrets.

Each continent boasted a sect affiliated with the Mountain Sea Sect of the Central Plains, including the Mountain Sea Pavilion, the Mountain Sea Workshop, the Mountain Sea Gate, and the Mountain Sea Sect itself.

The following day, Xiao Feng was rudely awakened by the clamor from below. At the entrance to Xianyu's palace, a crowd had gathered around a young man who was presenting a bouquet of flowers to Xianyu in a grand gesture of love.

"Xianyu! I adore you. Despite the multitude of suitors at your heels, I am without a doubt the one who loves you most!"

What in the world was this nonsense?

Fuming, Xiao Feng strode to the front of Xianyu's palace and barked, "Enough with this commotion. Scram!"

The man, taken aback, responded with contempt, "And who might you be to give me orders? Never heard of me? The name's Zhang Cheng!"

"Oh, I happen to be Xianyu's fiancé, and I'm telling you to leave—now!"

"Hahahaha, Xianyu's fiancé? That's hilarious. As if Xianyu would ever settle for a loser like you. Just look at how you're dressed—like a complete pauper. What are you going to do if I don't leave? Not only will I stay, but I'll also make you leave of your own volition. Believe it?"

A flicker of murderous intent shone from Zhang Cheng, sealing his fate.

Xiao Feng coolly replied, "Give it a try."

"Heh, the arrogance!"

Zhang Cheng lunged forward, striking Xiao Feng with a palm. Xiao Feng immediately coughed up blood and collapsed.

What just happened? Zhang Cheng was utterly baffled. His palm strike had been light; how had Xiao Feng fallen so easily?

Struggling to his feet, Xiao Feng shakily stood, his body quivering with pain.

"Okay, that was a bit harsh," Xiao Feng managed to say, his voice faltering. He then lunged at Zhang Cheng, seizing his head and slamming it into the ground with a thud.

Zhang Cheng was still reeling from the shock when Xiao Feng grabbed his head. The overwhelming strength was beyond anything he could match!

The kid was feigning weakness!

As Zhang Cheng realized this, Xiao Feng's boot sent him flying once more. Onlookers were dumbfounded, witnessing Zhang Cheng's battered form still stubbornly enduring Xiao Feng's relentless assault.

"You're just playing the victim!"

"And what if I am?"

Xiao Feng's response was to slam Zhang Cheng's head into the ground again, creating yet another crater. The prodigy's mind was indeed a formidable weapon!

"You... you'll get what's coming to you! I'll kill you! I'll ensure your sect and your entire family are wiped out!"

"Too bad you won't live to see that day."

Xiao Feng sighed. Even in such dire straits, the kid had the audacity to threaten him.

After another forceful impact against the ground, Xiao Feng had initially intended to spare him, but faced with such threats, he felt no remorse for what came next.

With a firm grip on Zhang Cheng's neck and a slight squeeze, a crisp "snap" echoed as Xiao Feng extinguished his life under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Shock rippled through the onlookers. Killing was strictly prohibited under the Mountain Sea Sect's first law, yet Xiao Feng had just taken a life.
