After Xia Feng left, Mrs. Xia was silent for a moment before asking, "Old man, can it be that those five Top Grade Saintesses really came for us?"
Father Xia also furrowed his brow, saying, "It's not likely. What happened back then, only he knows, and he's unlikely to have said anything. Ever since father died, my dantian was damaged, Xiao Feng's talent is incredibly low, and he has completely relaxed his guard against us, no longer paying attention. Even if those Top Grade Saintesses know our identity, it's unlikely they'd take such a crazy action. However, the appearance of the five Top Grade Saintesses simultaneously may once again attract his attention."
Mrs. Xia responded, "But if we can gain the favor of the five Top Grade Sacred Lands, even he wouldn't dare to act rashly."
Father Xia turned his head to glance at her, and laughed, "Is this why you want those five Top Grade Saintesses to marry Xiao Feng together? You're too naive. Even if the five Top Grade Saintesses agree, the five Top Grade Sacred Lands wouldn't allow it."
"You won't know unless you try," Mrs. Xia didn't give up.
Father Xia shook his head and stood up to leave.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng left the hall and appeared in Niu Zhan's courtyard.
"Sect Leader Niu, the junior Xia Feng has something to ask,"
Xia Feng stood outside the courtyard gate, shouting loudly.
Niu Zhan, who was sitting cross-legged cultivating in the courtyard, slightly furrowed his brow.
Truthfully, he didn't want to have much contact with Xia Feng, he just wanted to stay here quietly for a few days until the five Top Grade Saintesses returned so he could complete his task.
Sixteen years old and still stuck in the Martial Disciple Realm — a talent staggeringly low, even worse than a sweeper in the Bull Subduing Sect.
But since Xia Feng is a man pursued by the five Top Grade Saintesses, Niu Zhan didn't wish to offend him. Despite his unwillingness, he forced a smile and said, "Please come in, Young Master Xia."
Xia Feng pushed open the door and came in front of Niu Zhan, saying, "Sect Leader Niu, I don't quite understand this Bull Subduing Technique. Could I trouble Sect Leader Niu to explain it to me?"
He had looked over the Bull Subduing Technique on the way, and although the name was common, the content was anything but common — quite profound.
With his talent, it might take one or two years to figure it out.
Niu Zhan glanced at Xia Feng — does this guy really want to cultivate the Bull Subduing Technique?
This Bull Subduing Technique may not be as good as the Holy Land's Ultimate Skill, yet it is genuinely an Unparalleled Martial Arts. How could someone with such average talent comprehend it?
However, since he had promised the five Top Grade Saintesses to guide Xia Feng's cultivation, he had to explain it, otherwise, when the five Top Grade Saintesses returned, he'd be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Niu Zhan said, "Sit next to me, I'll explain it to you."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Niu."
Xia Feng thanked with a bow and sat next to Niu Zhan.
"The Bull Subduing Technique, the energy cultivated is enduring like a bull with tremendous stamina. During cultivation, a part of the energy will also temper the body and lie dormant within it. During combat, if exhausted completely, this dormant energy can burst out instantaneously, unexpectedly powerful..." Niu Zhan began his in-depth explanation.
He did not hide anything, as these aren't any profound secrets. The five Top Grade Saintesses could easily inquire about them at the Bull Subduing Sect.
If he acted recklessly and angered the five Top Grade Saintesses, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Furthermore, given Xia Feng's talent, even if he explained it a hundred times, Xia Feng couldn't comprehend it.
As Niu Zhan expected, initially Xia Feng could understand a few things, but as it grew more profound, he began to feel sleepy.
Amid Niu Zhan's earnest explanation, he suddenly heard a soft snoring sound. Turning his head, he saw Xia Feng was asleep, and instantaneously, a nameless anger arose in his heart.
If Xia Feng were his disciple, Niu Zhan would have already slapped him awake.
However, recalling Xia Feng's identity, he suppressed his anger and refrained from acting.
With him asleep, any further explanation seemed pointless.
It was foolish of him to hope that a sixteen-year-old stuck in the Martial Disciple Realm could understand an Unparalleled Martial Arts.
He sighed slightly, stood up, and went back inside.
Little did he know that, deep in Xia Feng's soul, a pearl emitted a faint white light, weaving a Dream Realm for the sleeping Xia Feng.
Moreover, Niu Zhan's explanation was recorded and played in this Dream Realm.
Xia Feng sat cross-legged in the Dream Realm, entering a cultivation state, while Niu Zhan's voice transformed into the Great Dao sound, echoing continuously in Xia Feng's ear.
A year, ten years, a hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years...
The Dream Realm passed five hundred years in this manner, with Xia Feng's aura constantly rising.
In reality, the Dream Realm had lasted merely an hour and a half.
When Niu Zhan came out from the house again, he found Xia Feng still dozing off, his snoring loud, and was speechless. He went up and patted Xia Feng's shoulder, saying, "Young Master Xia, shall I continue the explanation?"
"Huh? Finished?"
Xia Feng woke up startled, asking in confusion.
"Yes!"
Niu Zhan took a deep breath, suppressing his urge to hit someone, reluctantly pulling a smile on his face, nodding, and squeezing a word out from his nose.
Xia Feng smiled awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, Sect Leader Niu, your explanation was just so, you know, wonderful. I got so mesmerized listening to it that I fell asleep. By the way, Sect Leader Niu, how long did I sleep?"
His original plan was to hear Niu Zhan's explanation once, then look at the Bull Subduing Technique while sleeping, maybe dream of cultivation, influencing his reality.
Unexpectedly, his aptitude was so poor, he didn't even understand Niu Zhan's explanation, fell asleep shortly after.
He vaguely felt he had a dream, but couldn't recall its content.
He could only hope the Dream Realm Pearl would work.
A wonderful explanation?
Mystified while listening?
Then fell asleep?
Upon hearing these words, Niu Zhan almost flew into a rage.
Yes, I admit it was a good explanation.
But were you fascinated? Clearly, you couldn't understand it, grew drowsy, then fell asleep.
As the Sect Leader of the Bull Subduing Sect, he had encountered countless cultivators, met people with average talent, but never someone with talent as poor as Xia Feng.
If not for promising the five Top Grade Saintesses to guide Xia Feng's cultivation and ensure the Xia Family's safety, he would have left immediately in frustration.
This Xia Feng is simply an uncarvable block of wood.
"Not long, just slept for an hour and a half." Niu Zhan took a deep breath and said lightly.
"An hour and a half? That long?"
Xia Feng looked at Niu Zhan, chuckled awkwardly, and asked, "Sect Leader Niu, how about we continue?"
Continue?
Continue what, damn it.
Niu Zhan cursed inwardly; even if he could listen, it would be pointless. Giving you the Bull Subduing Technique is like casting pearls before swine.
However, he dared not show any dissatisfaction on his face and forced a smile: "Young Master Xia, the opening chapter of the Bull Subduing Technique has been explained. It's enough for you to cultivate to the Martial Master realm. If your aptitude is quite good, you might break through from Martial Disciple to Martial Artist within half a month, and within ten years, have hope of reaching the Martial Master realm."
"Half a month!"
Xia Feng nodded. He knew that without a miracle, he would never break through in his lifetime.
"As for you, I'm afraid..."
Niu Zhan looked at Xia Feng, hesitating to speak.
"I..."
Xia Feng knew what he was trying to say. Just as he was about to say he knew, suddenly, his body stiffened.
Countless torrents of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in, flooding into his body.
"Sect Leader Niu, what's happening?"
Xia Feng was taken aback, unable to move his body, and urgently asked aloud.
"This!"
Niu Zhan was also stunned; he had never seen such a situation either.
Xia Feng was merely at the Martial Disciple realm, his body fundamentally unable to withstand so much Spiritual Qi. If not stopped, he might be burst open by the Spiritual Qi.
"Don't move, I'll help you disperse the Spiritual Qi."
Niu Zhan raised his hand, just about to make a move.
At this moment, weak pulses of energy continuously emanated from Xia Feng's body.
This kid, broke through to Martial Artist?
Niu Zhan's mouth dropped, utterly shocked.
At sixteen, still stuck in the Martial Disciple realm and unable to break through, how did this sudden upheaval of Spiritual Qi occur, allowing him to break through in an instant?
Yet that torrent of Spiritual Qi continued unabated, Xia Feng's aura ceaselessly rising.
"Yellow Tier Second Layer Martial Artist."
"Oh my, Yellow Tier Third Layer?"
Niu Zhan's eyes were as round as saucers, yet Xia Feng's breakthrough had still not ceased.
Yellow Tier Fourth Layer Martial Artist, Fifth Layer... Profound Tier First Layer Martial Artist.
Heavens, he has broken through to the Profound Tier Martial Artist.
Damn, still hasn't stopped, still breaking through.
Earth Tier First Layer Martial Artist, ..., Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist.
Only when it soared to Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist did Xia Feng's aura finally stabilize.
The crazily surging Spiritual Qi also gradually dispersed.
Niu Zhan was already dumbfounded, staring blankly at Xia Feng, unable to say a single word.
Xia Feng felt the abundant Inner Strength within him and asked somewhat uncertainly: "Sect Leader Niu, it seems like, perhaps, I've broken through to Earth Tier Martial Artist? Is this how you cultivate the Bull Subduing Technique? It's a bit terrifying."
"Yes, ah! No. Oh my, damn, this is too outrageous."
Niu Zhan was so shocked he couldn't speak coherently, what on earth is this?
Sleep for a while, and rise twenty-seven realms?
Instantly ascend from a Martial Disciple directly to an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist?
This is supposed to be mediocre talent? This is simply monstrous.
As the Sect Leader of the Bull Subduing Sect, he had seen countless geniuses in his life, never one who advanced wildly like Xia Feng.
Wasn't he comprehending just now, instead of sleeping?
But I heard him snoring.
Besides, he never heard of anyone breaking through from Martial Disciple to Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist in two hours.
Niu Zhan was utterly puzzled.
If Xia Feng truly broke through from Martial Disciple to Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist in just these two hours, this talent, compared with the Five Top Grade Saintesses, would likely be unmatched.
Could it be that this guy is indeed an Innate Divine Body?
Thinking of the Five Top Grade Saintesses' behavior, Niu Zhan became increasingly convinced of his speculations.
Perhaps only an Innate Divine Body could be this miraculous.
Seeing Niu Zhan's shocked expression, a faint light flashed in Xia Feng's eyes, his heart filled with immense euphoria.
Dream Realm Pearl, it must be the Dream Realm Pearl.
He didn't remember the experience in the Dream Realm world, but he was now one hundred percent certain it was the work of the Dream Realm Pearl.
This Dream Realm Pearl, which he thought useless, turned out to be this terrifying.
He raised his head to look at the shocked Niu Zhan, a faint smile on his lips, and asked: "Sect Leader Niu, your explanation was excellent; right after you finished, I broke through. Quick, tell me about the next parts. By the way, if I fall asleep listening again, you must absolutely not disturb me."
