Chapter 5: A Brief Trial of Skills

Xu Feng looked at the several dazed servants staring at him, then smiled slightly, released the thin monkey, and turned to leave this place

I wash! I wash! The thin monkey felt a powerful pressure in his chest, a pressure that made it difficult for him to breathe. Upon realizing that Xu Feng was a practitioner of the mysterious arts, the thin monkey understood that he had no chance of turning the situation around now

A group of servants began to twitch slightly, what do you mean by practicing at night until one becomes a玄者? Do you think becoming a玄者 is as easy as drinking water?

Xu Feng sidestepped, aware that his current second-tier strength would struggle to withstand the peak of the opponent's third-tier power. However, this did not mean that Xu Feng would let the opponent off easily. As he turned his body, taking advantage of the moment when the lean monkey's old strength had faded and new strength had yet to arise, he transformed his hand into a palm and struck fiercely at the lean monkey's outstretched arm.

"This fellow is also a practitioner of the mysterious arts." The thin monkey looked at Xu Feng in astonishment

To strike someone, one must instill fear

The thin monkey was about to say that he was not that foolish, but seeing the numerous servants around him, some of whom he had bullied before, he swallowed his words. After all, if this were to reach the ears of the master and the steward, it would not bode well for him

These were the words of a senior brother of Xu Feng, which Xu Feng deeply agreed with. At this moment, seeing the thin monkey rolling on the ground, he stepped on the thin monkey's chest, smiling gently as he said, "Who will clean the toilet in the future?"

The thin monkey is very eager to cry: the ghost insists on helping you, yet you have the ability to remove your foot from my body. How can a person be so shameless while threatening with such righteous indignation?

Is it surprising? Xu Feng said with a grin as he looked at the thin monkey, "I apologize, I practiced and practiced last night, and I ended up becoming a Xuan practitioner, disappointing you all."

"You little bastard! You finally decided to come back. I thought you had run away overnight." Just as Xu Feng stepped through the gate, a furious shout rang in his ears, causing him to turn his head. He saw a man on the opposite side, who had a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced appearance, looking at Xu Feng with disdain.

A powerful strike from Xu Feng landed on the thin monkey's arm, accompanied by the sound of a bone cracking in the air. Simultaneously, the thin monkey's scream of agony echoed. Clutching its arm with one hand, the thin monkey's face contorted in pain, cold sweat pouring from its forehead, as its body rolled on the ground.

In Xu Feng's eyes, this punch seemed to slow down, and he slightly tilted his body to evade it. This surprised Xu Feng regarding his combat ability, as it is generally understood that there is a significant gap between the second and third ranks.

Ah! So you are not?" Xu Feng looked at the thin monkey in surprise, "I apologize. I didn't know before and mistakenly thought you were an idiot.

The lean monkey charged forward with a fierce punch, prompting Xu to gather his spirits. After all, he was merely at the peak of the second rank. However, what surprised Xu Feng was that the punch, which appeared swift to others, did not seem very fast to him. This strange sensation left Xu Feng little time to ponder, and as he slightly shifted his body, the lean monkey's fist brushed past him.

A group of servants could not help but spit in disdain, thinking how shameless this fellow was, wondering why they had not noticed his ability to distort the truth before. In the past few days, this person had completely transformed, and he had even become a practitioner of the Xuan realm, easily defeating the thin monkey, which at the very least indicated he was a third-grade practitioner. Could it be that this fellow had been pretending all along?

Xu Feng could not help but think of the Dao Xuan Jing and that magical purple thunder flower, pondering that such discernment must be attributed to it. This level of insight is certainly not inferior to that of a fifth-grade practitioner

This person, Xu Feng, is known to me. He entered the Xiao family at the same time as I did, but he was adept at pleasing the steward and had a cunning nature. Among the servants of our batch, he was the one who fared the best.

Then, from now on, I believe it is best for you to take on the matter of the toilet. As a junior servant of the Xiao family, I trust you will demonstrate an attitude of not fearing hardship, fatigue, or dirt

After speaking, Xu Feng ignored the thin monkey and turned to leave. However, Xu Feng's foot happened to step on the thin monkey's hand, causing the thin monkey to scream in agony.

Oh!

Of course, in serving the Xiao family, I am naturally unafraid of hardship, fatigue, or dirt. However, no matter what, you must clean the toilet for me. The thin monkey's expression darkened; the Xu Feng before him seemed to have transformed completely. In the past, he would have spoken, and the other party would not have dared to respond, but now he dared to refute him.

"You little brat, what are you staring at? Hurry up and clean the latrine for me." The thin monkey looked at Xu Feng with a gloomy and disdainful expression

Seeing Xu Feng's submissive demeanor, the thin monkey's anger intensified severalfold. In a sharp voice directed at Xu Feng, he exclaimed: "Are you deaf? In this residence, if you do not clean the latrines, who will?"

Xu Feng pointed to his own nose and, looking very serious, said to the thin monkey: "Are you talking to me?"

The thin monkey, m. hetushucomcom, saw Xu Feng dodge and considered it Xu Feng's luck. With a snort, he changed his fist technique and launched another punch at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng smiled as he looked at the thin monkey, the strength beneath his feet continuously accumulating: "Tell me, who really cleans the toilet?"

Hmph

I am sorry! I am sorry! I absolutely did not mean to!" Xu Feng apologized, but his foot remained stubbornly in place, instead shifting its angle.

The thin monkey struggled hard, but with his arm severed, he could not break free no matter how he tried. This greatly surprised the thin monkey; even though he was lying on the ground and could not exert much strength, he was ultimately a peak third-grade practitioner. Yet, despite this, he could not escape.

Click ... ...

How ruthless! Watching the cries of agony, the few servants felt a chill rise within them as they saw the thin monkey being trampled under Xu Feng's foot.

"Do you take me for a fool?" The thin monkey's voice was sharp, and his face displayed a dark, furious expression. This kid actually dared to defy his orders now. If he didn't properly discipline him, in the future, no one would take the thin monkey seriously.

Ah! Are you going to wash?" Xu Feng said with great regret, "Cough! I am someone who loves to work, but I am also kind-hearted. Since you insist on helping me, I can only accommodate you. Cough, yet another opportunity for physical exercise has been missed.

At the moment Xu Feng uttered this sentence, some of the household servants suppressed their laughter. Having been bullied by the thin monkey for quite some time, they felt a sense of satisfaction seeing him being called an idiot. However, when did this kid Xu Feng become so sharp-tongued? He refrained from using foul language yet managed to entangle the thin monkey in insults. Is this still the same Xu Feng who used to be dull-witted and allowed others to bully him?

Peh and books

Xu Feng, who had spent the night by the riverbank, returned to the Xiao family residence once again on the following morning

You deserve your misfortune! Xu Feng looked at the still howling thin monkey, his lips curling into a gloomy expression. Although Xu Feng did not possess such strength in his previous life, he had plenty of the bloodiness typical of boys. He had engaged in numerous fights and brawls, with incidents of bloodshed on both sides occurring almost every month during his school years. Of course, many of these were due to his role as a protector for Lin Xi, that troublemaker. At this moment, watching the thin monkey wailing incessantly, he felt little compassion.

This unexpected scene left everyone in a daze, as they rubbed their eyes vigorously to confirm that the figure lying on the ground was not Xu Feng but rather the thin monkey. After this realization, several servants stared wide-eyed at Xu Feng.

Seeing Xu Feng evade this punch, the group of servants looked on in astonishment at the person who should have been severely injured. They couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: "This kid is incredibly lucky. How could he dodge that?"

Xu Feng also did not expect that the thin monkey would dare to take such drastic action. Although Xu Feng had always been bullied in the past, he was after all a servant of the Xiao family. For another servant, the thin monkey, to act so boldly was truly audacious

Miss Er is going to learn tattooing today, and I must go teach her. There is no time to clean the toilet. Xu Feng casually made up an excuse

The thin monkey, without a moment's hesitation, swung a punch directly at Xu Feng's chest, instantly shocking the servants who witnessed the act. They had not expected the thin monkey to be so ruthless. They were well aware of the thin monkey's strength, being at the peak of the third rank; dealing with Xu Feng would be like child's play. With this punch, Xu Feng would either be dead or severely injured. These onlookers could almost envision Xu Feng collapsing to the ground, crying out in agony.

Xu Feng was equally surprised deep down. With his current peak second-grade strength, although he no longer needed to be as cautious when facing the Thin Monkey, he did not expect to defeat him so easily. Especially recalling how the Thin Monkey's attacks had slowed down in his vision, he felt even more puzzled. He had not heard that body refinement could enhance one's eyesight to such a degree. At the very least, with his recently refined second-grade strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to possess such eyesight.

After two consecutive punches were evaded, the lean monkey became even more furious and humiliated. His punches grew increasingly fierce and brutal, directly aimed at Xu Feng's throat

Xu Feng glanced at the thin monkey, wiped the soles of his shoes with his shirt, and said: "Of course, if you are not convinced, you can come find me anytime. I will help you loosen your bones. I am a kind person and am happy to assist others in loosening their bones"

How is this possible? A useless person with no strength could defeat someone at the peak of the third rank. Isn't this a bit too ridiculous? Yet the scene before them forced them to accept this reality

The several servants who heard Xu Feng's words nearly fainted on the spot. How could a grown man like you have tattoos? Damn it, you might as well be able to tattoo bones! Moreover, who doesn't know the Second Miss's personality? Would she learn to tattoo? That has about the same likelihood as you, Xu Feng, reaching for the moon.

You are seeking death! The thin monkey's entire face turned red with anger; being toyed with in such a manner by a universally recognized coward was nothing short of a great humiliation for him

Xu Feng intends to show them, so that no one will dare to bully him in the future. The former Xu Feng is gone forever, and the current Xu Feng is not someone who can be easily bullied by just anyone
