Chapter 411 Breakthrough...
Half an hour later, Lin Feng exhaled deeply and finally retracted his hand, also retrieving the silver needles that had been inserted into his senior brother’s body. Looking at his senior brother, who was now drenched in sweat, Lin Feng felt very happy. He had not expected that his first attempt at helping someone break through would yield such great results. It was truly a very joyous occasion because his senior brother had successfully advanced to the AAA level under his guidance!
"Bang!"
A cloud of dust rose from the ground around Wang Anjun, spreading outwards in a circle of invisible True Qi Wave...
"Junior brother! Is this... is this real or fake?" Wang Anjun had felt something amiss within him from the moment Lin Feng withdrew his hand. He had never experienced such a surge of True Qi before; it was as if his True Qi had transformed from a great river into an ocean in an instant. Moreover, he felt an incredibly powerful force filling his body. All of this was utterly fascinating to him!
Could this be the realm of AAA level? Am I actually a AAA level master now? Wang Anjun simply couldn’t believe that any of this was real. He had been stuck at the peak of AA level for so many years, and today... today he had broken through! It still felt like a dream...
"Yes, that’s right, you are now a AAA level master." Seeing his senior brother’s disbelief, Lin Feng fully understood how he felt. Anyone who suddenly leveled up would react this way, so he affirmed Wang Anjun’s guess, allowing him to share in the joy.
"Really! I’m truly a AAA level master now. This isn’t a dream, right? I never even thought that one day I would become a AAA level master. Zhou Yang, I’m a AAA level master now! I am a AAA level master now!"
Wang Anjun was usually such a steady person, one who could remain calm even if a mountain was falling on him. Faced with this situation, he couldn’t help but be so excited that he didn’t know what to do, becoming somewhat wildly exhilarated.
Wang Anjun reminisced about the past, thinking back to the days he spent with his master, who had helped him break through to AA level. Nearly 20 years had passed since then, and today his junior brother had helped him ascend to AAA level, a realm he had never even considered possible. What kind of luck was it for him to have encountered both his master and his junior brother, such prominent figures in his life!
"I saw it too, I really saw it!" Zhou Yang was utterly dumbfounded. He had never dreamed of witnessing such a scene, Brother Wang breaking through to AAA level right before his eyes. What was going on here? Lin Feng had helped Brother Wang, but how could a breakthrough like this be assisted? And how was it possible to break through just standing there so quickly? Didn’t he need to go into seclusion? Didn’t it require lots of preparation...
At this moment, Zhou Yang’s mind was overwhelmed. This turn of events simply defied all reason! He had never heard of cultivators being able to achieve such a feat, to break through a bottleneck with the help of an external force. This... this was truly something impossible!
Yet all of this was happening right in front of Zhou Yang. Lin Feng... Lin Feng was just too miraculous! Doing something like this, was he even human...
"Let’s go back to the table and chat over tea," Lin Feng suggested, knowing what both of them were currently feeling. There was certainly more than just one or two things to discuss about such an event.
"Right, let’s talk while we chat," Wang Anjun snapped back to reality and immediately took the initiative to lead Lin Feng back towards the tea table. He still could hardly believe that he had become a AAA level master. Right now his heart was filled with nothing but excitement and joy.
"Yeah, why are we just standing here? Let’s go drink tea." Zhou Yang also came to his senses, hustling them back to chat over tea as he had many things he wanted to understand.
The three men returned to the tea table, and Zhou Yang took it upon himself to fill the teacups with tea, then gestured with a wave for Lin Feng and Wang Anjun to drink.
"Junior brother, how did you help me break through? I’ve never heard before of someone helping with breaking through a bottleneck like this. During the few days I was with master, he just cleared up some things I didn’t understand, and that’s how I broke through to AA level. After being stuck at the peak of AA level for years, I never imagined that one day I could become a AAA level master, as this bottleneck seemed unsurmountable!"
Wang Anjun sat down, had a cup of tea, and finally calmed some of his excitement before promptly voicing the question in his mind. The idea of helping others break through their bottlenecks was unheard of and utterly astonishing. How many people have spent their entire lives stuck at their bottlenecks? If his junior brother really has a way to help everyone at their bottleneck make a breakthrough, then... then wouldn’t his junior brother become the Savior of all cultivators!
Helping someone make such a breakthrough was simply unfathomable. Having been with the national special action department for so many years, Wang Anjun had met countless cultivators, yet he had never heard of someone like his junior brother in this world. It was just too much to take in. He knew all too well the frustration of being trapped at a bottleneck. If others knew of his junior brother’s unique ability, they would spare no expense in pleading for his help. That is the mindset of a cultivator.
However, he felt extremely fortunate that Lin Feng was his junior brother. Having such a junior brother was indeed his good fortune!
"This matter, I actually read about it in an Ancient Book, but the book didn’t provide specifics. It’s only based on the information from the book, combined with my own understanding, that I was able to help senior brother break through his bottleneck. To tell you the truth, I didn’t know if it would be successful because you were my first experimental subject. I did not expect that it would actually succeed in the end," explained Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at his senior brother, knowing that his heart was completely filled with shock. In fact, Lin Feng was equally stunned by this matter. It was merely a sudden inspiration, and he hadn’t expected this method to actually work, enabling his senior brother to break through so unexpectedly.
"Junior brother, if I have more people in need of breakthroughs, could you help them succeed in breaking through their bottlenecks?" Wang Anjun was now at a loss for words about his junior brother. Such a sudden whim, and then to experiment directly on him, elevating him to a AAA level—such a feat was probably something only a master could achieve. No one else would have the courage or ability to do such a thing.
Yet it was an incredible feat, unheard of in the entire Cultivation World. If those who had been stuck at their thresholds for many years knew that junior brother could help them break through, junior brother would certainly be in grave danger. As the saying goes, "People die for wealth, as birds die for food." There might even be someone who would attempt to harm junior brother.
But now that he had broken through, several of his subordinates had been stuck at their thresholds for years. If junior brother could also help them with their breakthroughs, their future missions would become much safer. This was something he had long hoped for.
"In theory, there should be no problem. It’s just that I’m not sure if any accidents might occur," Lin Feng replied seriously, recalling all the steps he had taken to help his senior brother make the breakthrough. In truth, only a few key points were crucial. As long as those were understood, it shouldn’t be too difficult, especially considering the individuals senior brother mentioned were likely those stuck at the peak of A level, making their situations even easier to resolve.
"Well... okay, when I have time, I’ll bring them to you," said Wang Anjun, thoroughly out of words upon hearing Lin Feng’s response. It seemed that his junior brother’s medical skills were not just superb but he must have truly inherited their master’s medical expertise. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to do something as extraordinary as helping someone break through a bottleneck. If word got out, how many cultivators would go crazy? So many have spent their lives stuck at a bottleneck—if they knew that Lin Feng could help them break through, they would surely stop at nothing to seek his help, potentially stirring up storms of chaos.
With this thought, Wang Anjun looked at Lin Feng and decided to share his concerns with his junior brother, so that Lin Feng could be forewarned.
"Junior brother, you must never reveal your ability to help people break through. You understand the saying ’A man is not guilty, but the possessor of a jade is.’ It would be best if only a few people knew about this, and better still if it’s not mentioned to anyone else at all," warned Wang Anjun, looking at Lin Feng with utmost admiration. His junior brother was indeed extraordinary, almost beyond description. But no matter how powerful, he shouldn’t show off the ability to help others break through. Even the most capable people can have their weak moments, so it’s far better to keep such abilities hidden.
"Mm, alright, I had no intention of helping others break through. If it wasn’t for senior brother, I wouldn’t have taken action," Lin Feng agreed with Wang Anjun’s sentiment. He too thought it best not to broadcast such a thing. While he was fearless, there were many ordinary people around him; if someone threatened to hurt his parents or others to coerce him, it would be truly problematic. Thus, the best solution was to keep it a secret and prevent anyone else from finding out.
"That’s good, I’m relieved to hear you say that," Wang Anjun said, his previously anxious heart settling. If not handled properly, this matter could cause a lot of trouble. Junior brother’s decision to handle it this way was absolutely right, sparing him further concern. As for Zhou Yang, there was no chance of him spreading the word either; Wang Anjun had absolute trust in him.
"..." Zhou Yang, who had been listening to the conversation between Wang Anjun and Lin Feng, was so shocked that he didn’t know what to think. The allure of helping someone break through their bottleneck for a cultivator was something he keenly understood. When Zhou Yang had not yet been injured, he was himself a master stuck at the peak of A level, stalled for many years—a truly disheartening experience. If Zhou Yang had advanced to AA level sooner, he wouldn’t have been injured during the operation with Brother Wang, which led to his transfer to Tianhai.
