Chapter 27: Coach, Someone Fouls by Charging!

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng clenched his teeth, his heart filled with mixed emotions and a strong sense of unwillingness. Yet, he forced himself to sit up and asked, "You went easy on me just now, didn't you?"

After uttering these words, it seemed as if he had exhausted all the strength left in his body, and he slumped back to the ground once more.

Gu Feng turned around and smiled gently, "Sometimes, don't take things too seriously. People who know too much often end up unhappy."

"Many people in this world are like mayflies in the vast ocean, struggling and floating along the paths laid out by their predecessors, ultimately choosing to return to their roots in resignation."

"Only a few can clearly know what they want and follow the path of destiny. And you, clearly, are not one of them."

"Immerse yourself in the glory of your family, Electric Shock Kid. Be angry, be resentful, and grow stronger!"

"Then come back and challenge me again!"

With that, Gu Feng didn't bother with the dazed Yu Tianheng behind him and walked straight off the stage.

Because his goal had already been achieved.

At this moment, in the distance.

Dugu Yan had watched the battle between the two very carefully.

From start to finish, Gu Feng had controlled the situation, and it could even be said that he wasn't really fighting; it seemed more like he ended the match in a playful manner, akin to children roughhousing.

This couldn't help but pique Dugu Yan's curiosity.

She really wanted to know how Gu Feng, at such a young age, had managed to attain such strength.

Logically, someone who had just awakened their Martial Soul should have very little combat experience.

Dugu Yan still vividly remembered her first real fight; she had been so scared that her legs almost gave out, and it was only because her grandfather was watching from below the stage that she managed to hold on.

Gu Feng's face was brimming with unconcealed pride as he pointed at the disheveled Yu Tianheng on the stage, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"So, Sister Yan Yan? Did it go as you wished? If nothing unexpected happens, this Electric Shock Kid who always clings to you won't be bothering you for a long time."

"Oh, my good little brother, I really underestimated you."

A flash of surprise crossed Dugu Yan's eyes as she spoke, and she immediately pulled Gu Feng into a tight embrace, showing great affection. Then, she whispered in his ear:

"Quick, tell your sister secretly, how did you manage to cultivate such strength at such a young age?"

This caught Gu Feng completely off guard. He felt a whirl of dizziness before being tightly held in Dugu Yan's arms.

He was now experiencing the pain of being a "kid brother."

A delicate and refreshing fragrance instantly filled his nostrils, making Gu Feng's head spin and almost suffocate from lack of oxygen.

He instinctively struggled a bit, inwardly marveling.

They say Soul Masters have extraordinary physical abilities and develop earlier than ordinary people.

Now he was truly experiencing it firsthand!

Coach, someone's fouling!

Charging with the ball!

"Whew—" After finally managing to break free from the embrace of the "bad woman," Gu Feng took a deep breath and replied, "It's simple to become as strong as me. Read more, watch the news, eat less junk food, sleep more, and stick to it. I guarantee your strength will skyrocket!"

Dugu Yan's smile instantly froze, her lips twitching slightly as she rolled her eyes in exasperation, her face clearly saying, "That's it?"

After a brief silence, she waved her hand helplessly, as if she couldn't be bothered to argue with this little brat.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't waste my breath on this nonsense."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan elegantly crossed one of her long, fair legs, leisurely folding them into a figure-four position. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes sparkling with interest as she asked, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to meet my grandfather, right?"

Finally getting to the main point, Gu Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Dugu Yan lazily leaned back on the bench, her fingertips lightly twirling a strand of her enchanting purple hair. A sly glint flickered in her lively eyes as she said, "Taking you to meet my grandfather isn't out of the question, but first, you'll have to agree to do something for me."

Hearing this, Gu Feng frowned slightly, his guard up as he asked, "What is it? Let's get this straight—I won't do anything too difficult, too much effort, or too trivial, too much hassle."

Dugu Yan's mouth twitched, almost choking on his words. After a moment of speechlessness, she finally said with a hint of annoyance, "It's really not a big deal. In a few days, there's an auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House. My grandfather has always forbidden me from going, but with your status, you can definitely get in. I just want you to accompany me there, to broaden my horizons."

Gu Feng immediately understood.

Most likely, Dugu Bo knew that the auction house was a mixed bag, and there were things there that could have a negative influence on a naive girl like Dugu Yan, which was why he had been so adamant about keeping her away.

Thinking this, Gu Feng didn't bother trying to dissuade her.

After all, everyone has their own aspirations and the right to choose their own way of life. Why should he meddle?

So, Gu Feng readily agreed, "Alright, I'll do it. So, when are we going to meet your grandfather?"

A faint smile curled at the corner of Dugu Yan's lips, her captivating eyes slanting toward him with a challenging look, as if to say, "I was waiting for you to say that."

"Tomorrow will do. But, little brother, I wonder if you'll have the guts to go through with it! Do you dare to take this step?"

Her grandfather's temper was far from pleasant.

He was the kind of person who could make children cry just by looking at them.

She was curious to see if the powerful Gu Feng would be reduced to tears by her grandfather.

The thought of such a comical scene almost made her laugh.

Gu Feng shrugged, his expression relaxed as he said, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Good, little brother, you're quite bold!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. "Then it's settled. Tomorrow at noon, I'll wait for you at the academy gate. Don't be late, or I won't wait for you."

With that, she stood up gracefully and walked briskly out of the training field.

Watching Dugu Yan's retreating figure, even Gu Feng couldn't help but admire her.

As Xu Shanshan's sister had said, purple truly had a certain charm.

As he gazed at the empty, silent training field, the fiery sunset stretched his shadow long across the ground.

Gu Feng murmured softly to himself, "Old Yi, can you teach me Undead Magic now?"

Years of relentless training, through the cold and heat, had all been leading up to this moment.

Gu Feng had thought that today would finally be the day he could break free from his constraints and step into a new realm of power.

However, Electrolux's calm words instantly poured cold water on his excitement: "Little Fengzi, it's still too early."

"You haven't fully mastered your Undead Power yet, and your mental strength is still weak. If you want to learn the basics of Undead Magic, you'll need to improve your mental strength first."

"Alright."

Gu Feng wasn't discouraged by the rejection.

After all, he was about to meet Dugu Bo soon.

Once he consumed the Immortal Herb, his mental strength should improve, right?
