Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1026 - 1024: Wait for Me

"You’re here, come in," Lin Feng said blandly through the window, spotting Xia Lalan outside. He was somewhat puzzled what she was doing there at that time.

"Okay..." Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Lalan snapped back to reality, simply responded, and headed for Lin Feng’s room.

However, her heart was once again agitated. She hadn’t expected Lin Feng to know of her arrival. Lin Feng had just been on the phone, chatting, and she hadn’t made a sound while walking. Besides, she was still a distance from the window. If it weren’t for her excellent hearing and Lin Feng’s rather loud voice, she wouldn’t have been able to hear that Lin Feng was on a call. But Lin Feng had noticed her while he was still on the phone, which baffled her completely...

In the blink of an eye, Xia Lalan entered Lin Feng’s room, which was quite spartan, with just two chairs, a bed, and a few cabinets. The empty space was filled with many herbs, all ingredients for the children’s alchemy. The room was so full that there was hardly any floor space left.

With a gesture from Lin Feng, the two of them took seats on the chairs. As soon as she sat down, Xia Lalan couldn’t help but speak up.

"Lin Feng, were you on a phone call just now?" Xia Lalan could not hold back her curiosity. She really wanted to know how Lin Feng had done it, for the Xia Family compound had no signal to make calls. How could Lin Feng do what others couldn’t? She really wanted to know what was going on.

"Yeah, what’s so strange about that?" Lin Feng responded nonchalantly upon hearing Xia Lalan’s question, thinking to himself it was just a phone chat—nothing odd about that.

"The signal can’t possibly get out from within the Xia Family compound, how could your phone work!" When Lin Feng replied, Xia Lalan couldn’t help herself and explained the situation. She was eager to see how Lin Feng would respond—why his phone worked when others didn’t. Did Lin Feng have some special method?

"You’re talking about that? Yes, there’s a formation here that blocks signals, but I adjusted the formation and tweaked my phone a bit, and that did it. No need to be so surprised."

Lin Feng then understood what Xia Lalan was getting at and explained casually. Indeed, there was nothing to be amazed at. The formation here was nothing to him; the ancient books his master had given him contained records about it. Moreover, his current strength enabled him to easily modify a point within the formation.

"Ah... this..."

Xia Lalan, who had never dreamed of such an answer, was now speechless in her chair, looking at Lin Feng as if she’d seen a ghost. Lin Feng’s claim was incredibly hard to believe!

She knew that the Xia Family’s internal formations were genuine ancient ones, laid out by an Immortal of the Xia Family when it was founded. These formations weren’t something ordinary people could understand, and nobody in her family could modify such superior formations because the knowledge had been lost long ago.

Yet now, Lin Feng was claiming he could modify formations set up by an Immortal. Was Lin Feng even human? How could he possibly understand something like formation modification? Was this true or false?

For a moment, Xia Lalan didn’t know what to say, because what Lin Feng spoke was hard to believe, not just for her but probably for anyone. Her logic doubted his words, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that what Lin Feng said might actually be true—she just couldn’t bring herself to believe it...

"Lin Feng, you shouldn’t let others know you can make calls, it could cause a lot of trouble." After a brief thought, Xia Lalan still warned Lin Feng. If word got out, people in the family might see Lin Feng as a madman, the laughing stock of others. She did not want that to happen.

"Oh, no problem! What brings you here?" Lin Feng understood Xia Lalan’s concern and replied casually, not taking the matter to heart. Then he inquired why Xia Lalan had come to see him so late.

"The monthly competition is in two days. It’s a Xia Family rule to hold one every month to quickly gauge improvement. All the children in the junior group must participate. There are various categories, testing cultivation strength, combat abilities, physical fitness, power and speed, the circulation speed of True Qi, and so on."

"I hope you take it seriously and bring Xia Jianping and the others to participate. I hadn’t seen you around, so I came specially to tell you, lest you miss out during the monthly competition." After Lin Feng’s response, Xia Lalan came back to herself. She realized she had forgotten about the competition and promptly informed Lin Feng. Although it was an internal event, it was very important, and she did not want Lin Feng and the children, like Xia Jianping, to be absent.

"Alright, I will bring the children to participate," Lin Feng nodded after listening to Xia Lalan and readily agreed. If everyone had to participate, then so be it; it was not a big deal.

"Then... then I’ll go back now..." Having received Lin Feng’s affirmative answer and wanting to learn more about Lin Feng’s background, Xia Lalan hesitated. Her words trailed off as she proposed leaving.

But after she said that, Wan’er felt regret. She had not yet obtained the information she was seeking, and to leave now was truly unsatisfying. Yet, having already spoken, it did not seem right to shamelessly linger. With this thought, she could only stand and bid Lin Feng farewell.

After Xia Lalan left Lin Feng’s room, her brows were still deeply furrowed. She had an extremely peculiar feeling, a sense that Lin Feng was an extraordinary individual. Today, Lin Feng even spoke of being able to modify the Xia Family’s Immortal’s Great Formation. Was this... was this truly possible or not...

This Xia Lalan, she was quite interesting.

Watching Xia Lalan leave with a puzzled look, Lin Feng smiled faintly, feeling that Xia Lalan was a decent person. Then, he took out his phone and dialed Ding Wan’er’s number to continue their long phone conversation.

The next day, everything naturally returned to normal. However, Lin Feng was now not paying much attention to Xia Jianping’s children. After assigning the day’s tasks, Xia Jianping and the others would take their duties very seriously, and Lin Feng went on to attend to his own matters.

In the morning, under Lin Feng’s instructions, Xia Jianping led the children to the training ground for physical fitness training. Everything was uneventful at first, but their noise during the physical training was loud enough to disturb Xia Jianwu’s children, which immediately made those kids quite annoyed.

Seeing that the monthly competition was approaching, they all wanted to make the most of the last two days to cultivate seriously and strive to improve their own strength. Therefore, the noise from Xia Jianping and the others’ training interrupted them, and they couldn’t concentrate on cultivating...

"Xia Jianping, can you keep it down, you’re disturbing us!" Unable to tolerate it any longer, Xia Jianwu stood up and yelled at Xia Jianping, wishing they would just disappear from his sight.

"You train your way, we train ours, this is Teacher Lin’s arrangement. If you have a problem, go talk to Teacher Lin!" Upon hearing Xia Jianwu’s words, Xia Jianping said, not giving it much thought. After all, it wasn’t his issue; it was Lin Feng who had instructed him to bring the children here for the physical training.

"You... with the noise here, how can we meditate? You’re just being unreasonable. Take your people and leave, find somewhere else to train, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Hearing Xia Jianping’s response, Xia Jianwu became furious and shouted again. He was boiling with anger inside. What did he mean by ’Teacher Lin’s arrangement’? Even if he really wanted to drive these people away, he wouldn’t possibly go to Lin Feng with such a request.

"Go somewhere else to train? You don’t seem to have that authority. This is a training ground, it’s normal for us to be training here. Moreover, Teacher Lin instructed us to do physical training here. Even if you want us to leave, it’s not your place to speak. If you want us to leave, have Teacher Lanlan come!"

Hearing Xia Jianwu’s outcry, Xia Jianping remained unperturbed. His words were based on the actual situation. Xia Jianwu had no right to drive them away; even if they were to leave, it would need to be at Xia Lalan’s request, no one else’s word would do.

Watching Xia Jianwu fuming with anger, Xia Jianping felt pleased within. Before, his strength had been weaker than Xia Jianwu’s, and he had often been bullied by him, but now, things were different. His strength was not any weaker than Xia Jianwu’s; he no longer needed to give Xia Jianwu any respect.

"You... Fine! Just you wait!" Xia Jianwu was so angry that he was lost for words. He had been used to his former prestige in front of Xia Jianping, forgetting that the current Xia Jianping was no longer the Xia Jianping of the past, who had once knocked him away with a single punch.

In an instant, Xia Jianwu’s expression changed. He wanted to teach Xia Jianping a lesson on the spot, but remembering Xia Lalan’s arrangement from the day before, which was not to cause trouble before the monthly competition, he could only leave a harsh word behind and take the other children back to their rest area to meditate and cultivate.

"Are we just leaving like this?"

"It’s infuriating, we’re being bullied!"

"Yes, it’s so frustrating, I really want to give them a good beating!"

...

The other children, following behind Xia Jianwu, voiced their discontent after leaving. In their eyes, Xia Jianping was now too arrogant, showing them no respect. Such a thing had never happened before; it was infuriating! They couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way. They had been used to bullying Xia Jianping and others, and now, suddenly, the roles had reversed. They just couldn’t get used to this switch in status...

Seeing Xia Jianwu and the others leaving, Xia Jianping said nothing, continuing his physical fitness training with the other children. The tasks assigned by Lin Feng were packed, leaving no time to worry about the trivialities. They focused on completing the training arranged by Lin Feng as soon as possible.

The children behind him continued their intense training under Xia Jianping’s lead, not concerned about the upcoming monthly competition. In less than a month, each of them had undergone earth-shattering changes. They longed to become stronger, with no time to waste on these mundane matters.
