In fact.
During these days, Lie Fengyun personally visited Xu Lingjun once, after pulling the name of the student who killed the Demon Beast from other students.
Lie Fengyun had no real impression...
After all, he was just selling a Martial Skill back then, not even bothering to record the name... But when the student mentioned being the campus heartthrob of Qingyang High School, and that after him, there would be no more heartthrobs in Qingyang High School.
He immediately understood who it was, those two female disciples are still smitten, frequently mentioning him, it's impossible for him to forget.
Therefore, he made a special visit.
To figure out what was going on.
And when Xu Lingjun saw Lie Fengyun coming, he enthusiastically entertained him.
Although their relationship was merely transactional, Lie Fengyun's remark that any confusions could be discussed with him... Just that single comment left a good impression on Xu Lingjun.
Plus, if he hadn't cultivated the Flame Killing Fist, he might not have had the ability to escape from the Bone Splitting Lizard's grip!
Although tough-skinned and not easy to break, if suddenly interested in swallowing him whole, he would've been helpless...
Even though what he got was a subpar Cultivation Technique.
But if Lie Fengyun hadn't sold it to him, chances are other martial halls wouldn't either, from this perspective, Lie Fengyun indeed was his lifesaver.
Xu Lingjun was perfectly clear that the Source Value was his greatest secret, something never to be disclosed, not even to the closest loved ones.
So whether it's Martial Technique or Cultivation Technique, their sources had to have an extremely reasonable explanation.
That's right...
What I cultivated was the Flame Killing Fist, don't believe me, check the annotations in the book, and then look at the scene I performed. Isn't it identical?
Anyone who says it's not the Flame Killing Fist picks a fight with me!
Over this period, he almost hypnotized himself into warning daily.
Almost to the point, even he believed it... that Flame Killing Fist was indeed what he bought from Baoyan Martial Arts Hall.
Lie Fengyun's intention was naturally simple too.
He just didn't understand how simply selling a fake Secret Manual led to so much trouble?
Xu Lingjun explained the events in detail... even sharing his mental journey with Lie Fengyun.
Fighting to the bitter end, with no retreat in sight.
So did it unleash such incomparable destructive power?
A very reasonable explanation... bulls-eye...
Holding a toy knife, no matter how you explode, can't stab an old tiger, people can break out, things can't be faked, right?
Thus, Lie Fengyun shamelessly suggested to offer Xu Lingjun some guidance.
He clearly stated, he would suppress his Cultivation to the Qi Gathering Realm.
Xu Lingjun naturally agreed delightedly.
After breaking through Qi Gathering, he hadn't found a suitable opponent... Lie Fengyun's strength was certainly far above the Qi Gathering Realm, with extremely rich combat experience.
It should provide him significant guidance.
Then, the two of them sparred intensely in the outdoor courtyard.
And afterward...
Lie Fengyun left for home, going into seclusion.
Of course, the task given by Lie Fenglei was indeed completed thoroughly.
It indeed was the Flame Killing Fist, no mistake. Lie Fengyun had cultivated Flame Killing Fist for years, understanding this Fist Technique even better than his elder brother Lie Fenglei.
He wouldn't get it wrong.
But it wasn't the Flame Killing Fist he himself practiced.
You must know, although it was a spar, in the end, he even used the real Flame Killing Fist Martial Skill, yet still ended up beaten like a dog...
Entirely the same Martial Skill, but completely different destructive power.
If you have to describe it, it would feel like half a jin of scrap iron versus eight liang of gold.
And this guy with tough skin, just trading punches with him, in the end, his fingers were completely numb without any feeling...
One can imagine, if it were a real life-and-death battle, at the same Cultivation level, even being a veteran from the battlefield, he could never be this kid's opponent.
This kid is a genius. He truly took a fake Martial Technique and managed to cultivate something genuine from it.
After returning.
He explained the details to his elder brother Lie Fenglei.
After hearing the description, Lie Fenglei remained silent for a long time...
The next day.
When teaching Flame Killing Fist again, what was taught was no longer the previous half-fake, half-real castrated Martial Skill, but was genuinely approaching the Extraordinary Realm, a highly destructive Flame Killing Fist.
And he truly started teaching seriously, although he never explained why.
Regardless of the reasons, even though the fame of Baoyan Martial Arts Hall arose very strangely, now that it's established, he doesn't want it to fall.
Moreover, already crushed to bits, it makes no sense to keep things hidden.
As for subsequent matters...
Future matters, we'll deal with them later.
At this moment.
How would Xu Lingjun know that because of him, the entire Qingyang High School students gained a massive benefit, learning a series of genuine Martial Techniques at an extremely low price?
He was dismantling a package sent by Father Wang with great joy.
Wang Tiancheng really put his heart into Xu Lingjun.
Though Xu Lingjun clearly stated he just needed a simple model... but in fact, Wang Tiancheng almost spent a fortune, giving Xu Lingjun a series of the things he needed.
A life-size Sword of Oath and Victory, made entirely from titanium alloy, extremely resilient, except for not being sharpened, it looks practically indistinguishable from a real sword.
Appeared menacing and ominous, the Frost's Sorrow, a chill over the heart at the mere sight of it.
And the Ten Strong Martial Arts Secret Manual entirely written with gold-foil paper, using such exquisite, luxurious paper to write some absurd theoretical stories, it's indeed another kind of waste and luxury!
And that Assault Freedom Mecha... though just a model, merely observing the metallic sheen it reflects, and the near-perfect scale, it seems already approaching top-tier figurine level, possibly the finest among figurines.
The All-Purpose Capsule merely being a capsule, yet also shimmering with a metallic gleam, one word, exquisite!
.................
"My dad truly spoils you."
Wang Qingya couldn't help but pout, though she's been financially supporting herself through her scholarship since entering university, Wang Tiancheng has always been demanding with her, rarely providing much money... but for Xu Lingjun, he's...
She couldn't help but sigh softly, saying: "Sometimes I genuinely suspect, could you be my dad's biological son?"
"Then Father Wang must be quite desperate, to desperately marry off his son to his daughter?"
Xu Lingjun joked, examining each item one by one.
Unfortunately, no notification sound appeared.
No idea if it's because the time is too short for destiny points to accumulate or if this simply was a non-viable path.
At this point, Wang Tiancheng called again.
Xu Lingjun took the call, Father Wang's hearty laughter resonated over the line.
"Xiaojun, have you received the stuff I sent? How is it, are you satisfied? Your Father Wang specifically spent several million to get those things... although I don't know what use it'll be, as long as my son likes it."
Xu Lingjun blinked an eye, suddenly somewhat understanding... in the previous life, figurines cost tens of thousands, possibly not merely due to brand effect.
And several million, it seems my forty thousand savings still haven't gone beyond survival level ah.
Thinking, he asked: "Father Wang, is it confirmed that everyone in your company already has one of these items?"
"The company has distributed one to everyone, but many subsidiaries haven't received them yet, after all, these items also consider production capacity... your Father Wang really isn't incapable, but I think it's quite wasteful to open a dedicated production line, waiting a few days might be just fine, of course if you really are urgent, then Father Wang will open two more lines, as long as my son likes it."
"Hmm, thanks, Father Wang."
"Just having you call me dad is enough."
Wang Tiancheng spoke emotionally: "Ever since your parents left, I only have two wishes, one is to have you call me dad, and the other, is to have the child call me grandpa..."
Xu Lingjun: "................."
He felt like something didn't quite match up.
And Wang Qingya's elegant brows had already twitching with frustration, coldly took the phone, questioning: "Name Wang, be honest, what exactly is your relationship with Aunt Xu?"
