What happened deeply etched in Huo Feng's heart; he would repay all the humiliations he had suffered.
Huo Feng suppressed his restless emotions, thinking, "I need to stay calm. Only strength can serve as the foundation for retaliation. I must quickly enhance my power."
With this in mind, Huo Feng did not linger and swiftly headed towards Purple Cloud Mountain.
After gaining strength, Huo Feng soon arrived at Purple Cloud Mountain. He leaped into the pit formed when the giant rock had disappeared. His mind recalled several Combat Techniques he had noted down. After some thought, he decided, "I should first practice this Suction Palm; it seems to have more unpredictability and might yield unexpected results."
With a plan in place, Huo Feng got to work and decided to start with Suction Palm. He noticed a sizable stone nearby and tried one that seemed relatively large. "Hmm, this should weigh about fifty pounds; I'll use this one."
Huo Feng followed the cultivation method of Suction Palm and directed it at the stone.
"Suction Palm"
The stone wobbled but did not come closer. Huo Feng realized that his control over Origin Force was too scattered, causing much of it to be wasted in empty space.
"Alright, then I'll practice my control until I can draw this stone towards me."
Huo Feng continuously used Suction Palm on the stone, reflecting on his technique. Finally, after some time had passed, he successfully drew the stone towards him.
Huo Feng smiled with satisfaction, withdrew his power, and then aimed at a larger stone in the distance. "Suction Palm."
He watched as the larger stone moved slowly before suddenly dropping with a loud thud. Huo Feng shook his head, "It seems my Origin Force is still insufficient. I can only wait until my Origin Force is fully integrated before I can exert greater power. There's still some time until dark; let's try Push Palm now."
Huo Feng walked to the edge of the pit and tested the earthen wall with his fist. A few bits of dirt crumbled down, but it was solid enough. Thus, Huo Feng decided to practice Push Palm here.
"Push Palm"
As the first strike landed, fragments of earth crumbled away, showing only a slight improvement compared to the previous casual punch.
Thus, Huo Feng concentrated the Origin Force in his palm like he did with the Suction Palm, brewing it for a moment before striking the earthen wall. Numerous cracks appeared around his palm on the wall.
It had some power, but Huo Feng still felt it wasn't enough. He continued to try again and again, but the results remained the same.
Huo Feng stopped trying and calmed his mind to think. After a long while, his eyes lit up. He quickly struck the earthen wall and then instantly retracted his palm. The entire process took just a breath. This time, there was a different effect on the wall; a palm-shaped hole appeared, and although there were still cracks around it, they were noticeably fewer.
"Creating a strike that doesn't affect the surrounding area of my palm is quite challenging. It seems my talent isn't sufficient; I must practice diligently."
What Huo Feng didn't know was that this Combat Technique was rarely practiced in his family. Others lacked such control, which is why they couldn't unleash its power and regarded this Combat Technique as useless.
After practicing for a while longer, Huo Feng looked up and noticed it was getting dark. He hurriedly left the pit and made his way toward Nottingham City.
Soon, Huo Feng returned to the north gate of Nottingham City. He slowed down and walked toward home.
"Have you noticed? That useless Huo Feng from the Huo Family seems a bit different than before he went missing."
This was one of several people gathered around a stall along the street. The stall boss chimed in, "What's different? Isn't he still running out of town like before?"
At this point, everyone began to chatter.
"Did you not notice how agile he was when he left the city today? And that speed—tch! Even someone who has trained for over ten years like me would only be at that level."
"Hey! Now that you mention it, I really hadn't thought about it, but it does seem that way."
"Shh! That Mu Yu and Nalan Kang are wandering around here again. Be careful not to let them hear you."
Suddenly, one person made a gesture for silence. At that moment, another person rushed over, panting heavily. "Liao Brother, I just saw Huo Feng come back at the city gate. They won't run into him again, will they?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd's curiosity was piqued, and they all moved closer to the North City Gate, eager to witness a good show.
At the entrance of the tavern near the North City Gate.
"Hey! This useless fool is still alive. I thought he might have killed himself after getting beaten up last time," Mu Yu spoke first as he encountered Huo Feng again.
"Brother Yu, this time we need to teach him a lesson for going missing and then having his father come to our house to cause trouble," Nalan Kang said with slight anger.
"Hmph, in the end, his father was injured and had to go back. If it weren't for my father and Nalan Uncle being soft-hearted, they could have taken his life," Mu Yu looked at Huo Feng with disdain.
Huo Feng glanced at them and said, "Idiot, bragging while outnumbered two to one."
Hearing Huo Feng's words, Nalan Kang was the first to act. He hated how Huo Feng, who was clearly weaker than him, maintained such a calm demeanor.
Nalan Kang charged at Huo Feng, and just as he was about to get close, he suddenly drew a soft sword from his waist and aimed for Huo Feng's throat.
Huo Feng stood still, frozen in fear. Nalan Kang rushed forward with all his might, but as he approached Huo Feng, a faint smile appeared on Huo Feng's lips.
Nalan Kang was taken aback by Huo Feng's expression, but his anger flared even more. "Hmph, pretending to be mysterious; I'm going to take your life right now."
Just as the cold tip of the sword was about to reach Huo Feng's throat, Huo Feng quickly extended his right hand.
"Suction Palm!"
Nalan Kang's soft sword suddenly changed its trajectory, grazing past Huo Feng's shoulder. This unexpected turn of events left Nalan Kang stunned.
While Nalan Kang was still in shock, Huo Feng did not hesitate. As his right hand used Suction Palm to deflect the soft sword, his left hand struck towards Nalan Kang's chest.
"Push Palm"
In just one clash, Nalan Kang spat blood and was sent flying. It was only because Huo Feng lacked combat experience that he struck beside Nalan Kang's heart, failing to take his life.
Seeing Nalan Kang injured on the ground, Mu Yu hurried over to support him, feeling a wave of astonishment. "So the rumors about his ability to cultivate are true. How did he become so powerful in just two tries?" Mu Yu felt a bit scared.
At this moment, the onlookers were also stunned. What had previously been mere rumors was now witnessed firsthand; everything was too incredible.
Seeing that Nalan Kang had been pushed back and Mu Yu had stopped moving, Huo Feng mockingly said, "This is what brotherhood looks like—your own brother gets beaten up and you just stand there in a daze. Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"
"Hmph! Who's afraid of you? It was just that Nalan was careless. I won't be," Mu Yu shouted louder, trying to suppress his fear with bravado.
"Oh really? I don't see you being brave at all. So what are you afraid of? Afraid of me?"
Huo Feng hit the nail on the head regarding Mu Yu's mindset, causing Mu Yu to become extremely angry.
"Water Curtain Sphere"
A layer of faint mist rose from Mu Yu, slowly dispersing and forming a sphere around his body. However, it was far inferior compared to what his father could produce.
The Mu Family primarily excelled in defense, so Mu Yu began by using defensive Combat Techniques, then pointed a finger towards Huo Feng, launching an attack.
"Ice Condensation Sword Finger"
At this moment, ice crystals slowly formed on Mu Yu's index finger. Seeing this situation, Huo Feng did not dare to be careless and immediately moved to dodge. After all, the only Combat Technique he knew was the push technique, but this series of consecutive techniques required perfect timing to achieve good results.
After dodging several attacks in succession, Huo Feng began to struggle. He noticed a tear in the fabric of his left arm, with an ice flower blooming beside the cut.
Looking at the tear in his clothing, Huo Feng quickly contemplated in his mind. "If I keep dodging like this, I'll definitely suffer losses. I need to think of a way to deal with this."
"Hmph! I thought you were impressive, but it turns out that Brother Nalan was just careless!" At this moment, Mu Yu said with a smug expression.
Seeing Mu Yu's transition from caution to arrogance, Huo Feng had a sudden idea. He thought, "I don't have many Combat Techniques left, and if I keep pushing forward, I'll probably be at a disadvantage. So I'll continue to feign weakness and wait for him to let his guard down before delivering a fatal blow."
As Huo Feng was plotting, the chilling aura surged toward him again. Now that he had a plan, he continued to dodge.
Gradually, after a while, Huo Feng's clothes were torn in multiple places, and his speed was slowing down.
The onlookers noticed this and began to believe that Huo Feng was about to be defeated.
Clearly, Mu Yu also noticed this. In fact, his Origin Force was nearing its limit as well. Therefore, he withdrew the Water Curtain Sphere and concentrated all his Origin Force into the Ice Condensation Sword Finger.
Seeing the change in Mu Yu, Huo Feng felt a surge of joy and pretended to be panting heavily, with a hint of fear in his eyes. This subtle change did not escape Mu Yu's notice; he felt pleased and said, "Now I'll show you what true power is."
Mu Yu concentrated his Origin Force into his index finger. The ice crystals on his finger became even more transparent and dazzling, resembling a sharp blade. His expression turned somewhat ferocious as he declared, "Let's see if you can dodge this time." He then thrust his finger forward toward Huo Feng.
"Ice Condensation Sword Finger!"
Just as he was about to reach Huo Feng, a smile appeared on Huo Feng's lips.
"Suction Palm!"
One stone pillar after another appeared in front of Mu Yu's sword finger. At this point, Mu Yu had no time to retract or change direction. Huo Feng's previously weakened speed suddenly surged. In an instant, he flashed in front of Mu Yu and unleashed another Suction Palm against him, followed by a Push Palm. Mu Yu let out a cry as he spat blood and was sent flying back hard onto the ground.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; the stone pillars shattered into fragments as Mu Yu was sent flying. No one expected the seemingly weak Huo Feng to explode with such power.
Struggling to rise from the ground, Mu Yu found Nalan Kang beside him as they supported each other. At this moment, both had lost the strength to fight back. They looked at Huo Feng with terror in their eyes, no longer displaying their previous arrogance but instead standing there submissively.
Huo Feng was no longer in that weak state; he approached them with a smile. The two were so frightened that they kept retreating. As Mu Yu backed away while looking at Huo Feng in fear, he stammered, "What... what do you want?"
Huo Feng stopped and said, "Aren't you here to teach me a lesson for being useless? Now that I've come to you, why are you backing down?"
"Hmph! Using tricks to deceive us, what kind of hero does that make you? Under normal circumstances, you might not even be able to defeat us," Nalan Kang gritted his teeth.
Huo Feng threw a punch at the spot where Nalan Kang had previously been struck.
"Ah!"
Nalan Kang spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the ground.
"Hero? Hmph! I, Huo Feng, have never considered myself a hero, nor do I want to be one. Didn't I win? Isn't that enough?" Huo Feng's suppressed anger had erupted. But he wouldn't kill them; he wanted to repay them, and he would do so doubly.
"Now, if you two kneel and call me 'Grandpa,' I'll let you go. Oh no, not just 'Grandpa,' but 'Great Grandpa.' Otherwise..."
Huo Feng picked up Nalan Kang's soft sword, twirled it in his hand, and looked at the two of them with a playful expression.
