C12 She Came!!

She's here!

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

With the first light of dawn cresting the Qin family's posterior mountain, a sharp whistle cut through the morning air.

A lithe and agile figure weaved through the dense forest, the thick underbrush and branches posing no obstacle.

Accompanied by a forceful yell, he suddenly stopped, alighting on a massive boulder.

Qin Feng bent forward slightly, funneling his zhenqi into his right hand, which instantly transformed into a devastating punch that slammed into the stone below.

"Groundbreaking Fist!"

The sound of impact reverberated as Qin Feng's punch drilled a deep hole through the boulder!

"Again!"

With another shout, his hands accelerated, becoming a blur of afterimages that rained down on the large rock like a deluge.

The relentless pounding left a network of spiderweb cracks across the stone, which, with a deafening crash, shattered into fragments.

"The Groundbreaking Fist may appear straightforward, yet its potential is immense. With diligent practice, it can stand toe-to-toe with elite Martial Skills."

Qin Feng nodded, his face breaking into a satisfied smile.

"Furthermore, once I've honed it to perfection and evolved it into the Earth Shattering Divine Fist, its might will become even more formidable!"

"With my strength as it is now, I can easily contend with a Body Tempering level 7 Fighter!"

"And should I refine the Groundbreaking Fist to its pinnacle, reaching the threshold of the Earth Shattering Divine Fist, I might even defeat a Body Tempering level 8 Fighter!"

Still, Qin Feng knew he couldn't become complacent.

Lin Xu had been in deep meditation, attempting to break through to the True Spirit Stage. If he were to succeed, it would completely disrupt Qin Feng's carefully laid plans.

The chasm between the Body Tempering Stage and the True Spirit Stage was slim, yet the disparity in combat power was immense.

"I have to work even harder!"

Qin Feng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination.

Time flew by as Qin Feng's commitment to his training grew more fervent, his methods more rigorous, even using the force of a waterfall to temper his body.

However, on the ninth day, Qin Feng paused his relentless training; Liu Xuanqing had come bearing vital news.

In the humble wooden hut, Liu Xuanqing looked on at Qin Feng with respect, but inside, he was overwhelmed with shock.

Qin Feng's cultivation was still at the sixth level of Body Tempering, yet the aura he radiated was vastly more profound and powerful, like a mountain too high to scale.

"His strength has increased again!"

Liu Xuanqing thought to himself, his respect for his own wise choice growing.

"What's the matter? Go ahead," Qin Feng asked calmly.

"Young Lord, this matter is closely related to you," Liu Xuanqing replied, a hint of awe in his gaze.

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, signaling Liu Xuanqing to continue.

"Young Lord, when you were a child, the Family Head arranged a marriage for you. Your future wife is Lin Xueru from Yunkong City!"

As Liu Xuanqing spoke, Qin Feng suddenly understood—it was about that woman.

In his previous life, he had only met Lin Xueru once, but that encounter had left him utterly disgraced, making him the laughingstock of the Qin family.

"She's finally coming, is she?"

The next day arrived!

As dawn's first light graced the sky, the Qin family estate buzzed with activity. Servants and maids bustled about, carrying trays of food and wine. Such festivities were seldom seen, and even Qin Feng, who typically went unnoticed, was summoned to the grand banquet in the living room.
