Just as they were about to leave, they saw Yi Feng returning.
They were so frightened that their hair stood on end!
They were about to slip away.
In the blink of an eye, Yi Feng appeared beside them and caught them.
"You dogs! Still trying to escape from me?" He grabbed Lu Benwei and threw him into the Martial Arts Hall.
To show his sincerity, Lu Benwei rolled on the ground and stood up, about to rush into his little dark room.
Unexpectedly, he was caught again by Yi Feng.
Lu Benwei was suspended in mid-air by Yi Feng, so scared that his newly dismantled bones were about to shake apart.
The next moment, a gentle voice that Lu Benwei never expected came from Yi Feng's mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," he said, gently putting Lu Benwei down.He even patted off the dust that had gotten on him when he fell to the ground earlier.
"Just help me with one thing, and I won't lock you up anymore," he said gently.
"Aba aba!" Lu Benwei's eyeless sockets lit up with surprised light.
"Let me practice with you."
Lu Benwei was stunned.
With a "thud," he fell to his knees!
"Aren't you the top expert?" Yi Feng comforted, "I just want to try."
"Aba aba..." He shook his head frantically at Yi Feng.
Yi Feng didn't care, he raised his palm and struck towards Lu Benwei.
With one palm strike, Lu Benwei was hit against the wall and fell apart.
He went motionless.
Nearby, the dog howled wildly, the centipede crawled chaotically, and the bear ran around in panic.
There was even a ghost floating in mid-air that fainted from fright.
"A bunch of useless trash," Yi Feng cursed, walking over and kicking the dismantled Lu Benwei.
Still no movement.
Is that all???
Yi Feng was angry.
"Can't even take one palm strike, and you call yourself the top expert?" he cursed angrily, "Bah!"
Is this all? Is this all???
And he calls himself the top expert!
Top expert of what range exactly?
This broken Martial Arts Hall?
The more Yi Feng thought about it, the more he felt it was so.
When he first got the system, the first thing it issued was a Martial Arts Hall, then a skeleton claiming to be the top expert.
Isn't this just saying he's the top expert of the skeleton Martial Arts Hall?
This damn broken system... but it's fine, he got the cultivation of a Martial Emperor from this broken system for free.
This is the only decent thing this system has done.
Yi Feng looked at Lu Benwei, still scattered on the ground without any movement, grabbed the pile of bones and threw them into the well!
"Let's see how you run now!" he said, using his strength to press a large stone on top of the well, "With your useless self, you still have the nerve to want to run out and cause trouble all day!"
After saying this, he didn't forget to curse at the dog, centipede, and others nearby, "Birds of a feather flock together, hanging out with trash has made you all become trash among trash!"
...
Yi Feng went out again to look for cultivators.
But with just a slight observation using his cultivation, he found that all the people in the entire city were pitifully weak.
Times have really changed.
Yi Feng understood then, that all the people in this city were garbage who couldn't cultivate.
But thinking about it, even if he could find cultivators, so what? In this small Pingjiang City, even if there were cultivators, they would be trash.
After all, he was the highest level among cultivators, a Martial Emperor!
Having been suppressed by the reality of not being able to cultivate for too long, suddenly becoming the invincible existence in this world, it would be like hiding one's light under a bushel not to tell people about it.
It was unbearable, truly unbearable!
One day, heavy rain fell in Pingjiang City. The alley where the Martial Arts Hall was located was sparsely populated. Everyone had closed their shop doors and huddled at Old Wang's house, roasting sweet potatoes and chatting to pass the time.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a person walked out from the rain holding an umbrella.
Proud and aloof, detached from the world.
The very image of transcending the mundane world.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the person entered the room that they reacted.
"Sir..." they all stood up, "Why have you come?"
"Sit, sit, sit." Yi Feng waved his hand and sat down with everyone by the fireplace.
"I came today because there's something that's been weighing on my mind for a long time," Yi Feng said, looking troubled, "I want to confide my worries to you."
"Please speak, Sir. What is it?" Everyone pricked up their ears, extremely serious.
"Well, I'm actually not an ordinary person," he began with a troubled expression, "This has been weighing on my mind for a long time."
Everyone's spines suddenly straightened, and their scalps tingled!
Could it be!
Could it be!
Was the identity of the sir they had been curious about for so long about to be revealed?!
"I'll lay my cards on the table, I'm actually not an ordinary person," Yi Feng spread his hands, "I'm a peerless expert!"
"Uh..." everyone looked at Yi Feng.
They nodded, "And then?"
"There's no 'and then'," Yi Feng said.
Then everyone picked up the sweet potatoes that weren't fully roasted yet and flipped them over.
"Oh."
"Sir is really amazing."
That's it?
That's the reaction?
"You're not surprised?" Yi Feng couldn't help but ask, emphasizing again, "An expert, a peerless expert, peerless!"
"Surprised," Pork Rong took a bite of the sweet potato he was holding, "Very surprised."
"..."
Yi Feng was speechless.
He let out a long sigh, realizing that these people had no idea what being a peerless expert meant.
Well, how could these ordinary people who only knew how to eat sweet potatoes understand the troubles of cultivators?
"Forget it, forget it, I shouldn't have expected you to be surprised," Yi Feng said, standing up, "How could you be surprised?"
"How boring."
With that, he left, holding his umbrella.
Everyone watched Yi Feng disappear into the rain while munching on sweet potatoes.
"What's wrong with the sir?" the shop assistant couldn't help but ask, "From what the sir said, he must have known we wouldn't be surprised, so he must have known that we knew about his prowess, so why would he come to surprise us?"
"I know!" Old Wang slapped his thigh, full of regret!
"What is it?" the others couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you remember, the sir has always been pretending to be an ordinary person to experience life in front of us," he analyzed seriously.
"Even if the sir knows everything in the world, and knows that we know about his prowess. But after all, he has always been interacting with us in the identity of an ordinary person."
"Now that he has revealed his prowess, he just wanted the surprise and congratulations between ordinary people." As he spoke, Old Wang was inconsolable, "We didn't understand the sir's intention, and didn't give him any surprised reaction."
Everyone had a sudden realization, "I see, so that's why the sir was so disappointed when he left! He even said he shouldn't have expected us to have a surprised reaction, it's because he knew we already knew about his prowess! He just wanted us to cooperate and give him an ordinary person's surprise!"
"That's why the sir said we were boring!" Old Wang slapped his thigh, "That was the sir's act, and also the sir's joy. But we didn't cooperate!"
"Oh my, we didn't understand the sir's intention! We're as stupid as pigs!"
"But now, quickly, send someone to notify everyone nearby!" Old Wang hurriedly said, "Tell them that if anyone has their identity revealed by the sir, they must cooperate with the sir and act extremely surprised!"
"Right, right!" the shop assistant next to him responded, "The sir has already been disappointed once with us, we can't let him be disappointed again!"
"I'll go, I'll go!" Pork Rong said, standing up and running into the rain.
Watching Pork Rong's disappearing figure, Old Wang fell into deep thought again.
"But why would the sir choose to reveal his identity?"
"Yeah, the sir has always been pretending to be an ordinary person before."
"Could it be..." Old Wang suddenly had a terrifying thought, "Could it be that the sir has started to enter the game?!"
Everyone was shocked by these words as if struck by lightning!
All those around the sir had more or less realized from the beginning that the sir was setting up an earth-shattering chess game.
Now that the sir had suddenly abandoned his identity as an ordinary person, doesn't it mean that the sir has started to enter the game...
...
After leaving the neighbors' sweet potato roasting gathering, Yi Feng also revealed his prowess to several other acquaintances.
Yet not a single one was surprised.
He, who had been elated at obtaining the cultivation of a Martial Emperor, felt as if bucket after bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
He increasingly felt the insipidness of these ordinary people.
But he still didn't want to hide his light under a bushel.
Just saying it wasn't enough to let these ordinary people know how amazing he was.
So he would let actions speak for themselves!
From then on, for a long period of time, a figure could often be seen flying back and forth in the sky over Pingjiang City.
When Pork Rong was chopping pig heads, he would often see Yi Feng walk out of the Martial Arts Hall.
Before he could even greet him, he would see Yi Feng rise from the ground, his feet completely leaving the earth and floating.
Then he would give him a sly smile and disappear.
Perhaps it's a beautiful young maiden from the Red Chamber walking down an alley, when suddenly a flower pot falls from above. Before she can react, someone embraces her and they vanish from the spot in an instant.
When she comes to her senses, she sees a young man casually flicking his bangs away from his forehead.
"Don't ask who I am," he says, then turns and flies away gracefully with his hands behind his back.
Or maybe it's an old woman washing clothes by the river, who sees a figure on the opposite bank furiously punching at the water like a madman, sending it soaring skyward.
As the water curtain falls, she sees the man on the other side blow on his fist, flash a roguish smile at her across the river, then saunter away with flair...
