Chapter 5, The Hot Cave

The fourteenth day, 580 pounds

Because he knows that once he falls, he may never get up again

Because this has been his long-standing goal, the power of perseverance!

"Unable to reach 600 pounds, everything is but an illusion."

Lin Feng forgot the pain in his body, forgot the terrifying heat, just as he had during his first time at home. With his mind completely focused, he fell into a peculiar state.

In a haze, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind, the moment that had made his blood surge, the mysterious warrior who had shot and killed the blue-eyed violent bear, that powerful figure towering above, comparable to the heavens

Warrior

The heat is unbearable, as if it is going to roast a person.

On the twelfth day, 577 pounds

The clearing opened up, and Lin Feng gazed into the depths of the cave, which remained deep and endless.

This way? Or that way

... ...

I will never give up

However, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and persevered, for the sake of his commitment and his goals

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "The management of the military is indeed too strict, leaving no room for freedom"

This kind of arrogance, this kind of pride, this kind of honing and growth between life and death makes his heart yearn...

A stick of incense, a cup of tea, a quarter of an hour

Suddenly, that incredibly mysterious shot transformed into a stream of light and vanished without a trace, as if Lin Feng had awakened from a dream in an instant

In an instant, it vanished into the cave

First of all, one must pass the preliminary assessment for martial artists

... ...

Lin Ting smiled and said: "Ha, I didn't expect you to be a wild horse that has broken free from its reins. Why not join the Hunter Organization? You can do whatever you want; you can wander freely like a carefree cloud or a wild crane, seek a place to cultivate your mind and refine your skills, or even hunt magical beasts with companions, embark on adventures, and treasure hunts, living self-sufficiently"

Lin Feng nodded quietly, having made his final decision. With a leap, he vanished into the darkness of the night

According to the tailored training plan, Lin Feng devoted all his energy entirely to strength training

With a stubborn expression and a resolute gaze, Lin Feng, who has borne immense pressure and responsibility since childhood, possesses a belief and will stronger than anyone else

That shot pierced the heavens, shaking the earth to its core

... ...

Otherwise... we can only try that way

A dark red hue envelops the body, every inch of skin appears as if it has been burned beyond recognition, causing an excruciating pain that pierces the heart.

He also possesses, and even has a latent stubbornness and persistence deep within him, but Lin Feng knows better that he is not alone

It seems that... we can only try that method.

Because it is simply too hot

sixty degrees

Clearly, Lin Ting has a considerable interest in the Heavenly Martial Army

Dong! Dong!

With his hands spread open and then clenched tightly, Lin Feng seemed to sense a different texture, and his pupils instantly dilated

For him, home is the most important thing

Curled up in pain, as if this could alleviate the terrible agony a little

At the foot of the mountain, the forest breeze gently stands, and not far ahead lies a long-abandoned cave. The cave entrance is overgrown with weeds, and countless fragments of stone are piled together, forming a small hill.

Lin Ting's words deeply moved him; the prospect of an unknown adventurous life made his blood surge with excitement. However, all of this is built upon a single foundation

I have not yet fulfilled my vow, nor have I allowed my family to live a happy and joyful life

With clenched fists and a contorted expression, Lin Feng endured extreme pain, and in an instant, the faces of his family flashed through his mind, along with warm memories of those moments.

seventy degrees

Walking briskly along the dark mountain path, Lin Feng's thoughts were in a whirl.

Lin Feng did not express his true thoughts, for if something were to happen at home, it would be troublesome if he could not return in time

This is a placeholder text.

Faces floated by one after another, as if warm currents were infused into Lin Feng's heart, making the pain seem to lessen significantly

Remarkably punctual, with not a second of deviation

"Join the Martial Arts Hall." Lin Feng smiled faintly, his expression slightly hesitant, and then pondered, "Perhaps the Heavenly Martial Commerce Association."

Lin Feng smiled but did not speak

The military emphasizes discipline and teamwork; once a mission is underway, it is absolutely impossible to leave midway. If one acts stubbornly, the consequences can be extremely severe

It is uncertain whether the strength can exceed 600 jin

6 seconds 12... The optimal state should be around 6 seconds 08. In half a month, it should not be a major issue to achieve under 6 seconds.

Lin Feng is clear and understands that even if it is 599 pounds, if it cannot be passed, it is still a failure

With a leap, he resembled a nimble monkey, once again darting into the pitch-black forest. Under the faint starlight, Lin Feng's expression appeared somewhat grave. "550 pounds, still 50 pounds short of the target. At the normal rate of progress, it would take at least three months to achieve this, but now... I can only give it my all!"

Again and again hetushucom .com, time and time again

After walking for approximately 100 meters, beads of sweat gradually began to appear on Lin Feng's forehead, as the heat intensified, resembling the proximity to a roaring fire

Which man does not have dreams, which man does not aspire to stand out and make a name for himself

Yes, this is the feeling!

By the way, A-Feng, are you planning to join the Heavenly Martial Army or the Martial Hall? Or perhaps the Heavenly Martial Chamber of Commerce or the Hunter Organization? Lin Ting casually asked, as he believed that with Lin Feng's qualifications and strength, becoming a martial artist was a foregone conclusion

It has been proven that when a person is determined to accomplish something and employs the correct methods, they often achieve considerable results

Following a step-by-step approach and making steady progress is the path he should take

***

He seeks to leverage this peculiar heat

With each step becoming arduous, Lin Feng's eyes appeared dazed, his breathing grew rapid, and at that moment—

He is not qualified to fall down

Stab | Stimulate

Tomorrow marks the Adult Ceremony, as well as the annual assessment day for aspiring warriors in Qihuo Town

Previously, Lin Feng had discovered that as the weather became hotter, the pain during the onset of his strange illness intensified, the burning sensation felt more severe, and the effects of physical training became more pronounced

becoming insane, extremely insane

To be honest, he really wants to become a hunter; the image of that powerful warrior who shot and killed the blue-eyed violent bear stirs his blood and lingers in his mind to this day

Lin Feng shrugged and said, "The benefits of the Martial Hall are good, and if one performs exceptionally, they might even join the Martial Gate. At that time, it would truly be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate"

On the fourth day, 559 pounds

The hour of Wei has arrived

He has parents to care for and younger siblings to support, so he is not in a position to take risks at this moment

I must ensure that my family lives a good life

The issue lies in the strength

Father, Mother, Younger Brother, Younger Sister

Lin Ting laughed heartily and said, "You really dare to think big, joining the martial arts sect... At the very least, they are all at the Grand Martial Master level, capable of flattening Lin Family Village with a stomp, making others look up in awe"

The next day, 555 pounds

A strange illness that stimulates the body

The sweat has long since dried up, and the body has also returned to normal

The hoarse voice may only be heard by him, or perhaps it was never spoken at all

With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help but clench his fists

Suddenly, his heart raced violently, and Lin Feng's eyes widened in shock. His body felt as if it were on fire, with an unprecedented burning sensation radiating from his lower abdomen. If what he had previously endured was a small flame akin to that of a lighter, then what he was experiencing now was a raging inferno comparable to that of a boiler

... ...

Devote 90% of your energy to strength training; a concentrated effort in the short term should yield significant progress within half a month

The will has gradually begun to blur, yet the belief continues to support Lin Feng, preventing him from falling down

"I hope everything goes smoothly," Lin Feng silently murmured as he cautiously advanced deeper into the cave; this was his last resort

Through the thicket, the forest wind whooshed and landed on a flat area ahead, racing swiftly.

As time progressed, the growth became increasingly slow, as if entering a bottleneck period. Although Lin Feng had only spent fourteen days increasing his strength from 550 jin to 580 jin, such a terrifying increase was enough to leave people astonished. However, Lin Feng remained unsatisfied

... ...

That unpredictable shot is very powerful, very mysterious, and carries an indescribable essence

fifty degrees

Oh? Lin Ting was quite surprised, "I thought you would join the Tianwu Army. The benefits are good, the safety factor is high, and the hierarchy is clear. The largest force in the entire Tianwu Continent is the Tianwu Army, which governs all counties, cities, and even towns."

Become a warrior

Became stronger

Lin Feng has changed

Here is a natural cave that he discovered by chance. The entrance has long been covered by countless fragments of stone due to a beast stampede that occurred ten years ago. The cave is quite deep, measuring at least several hundred meters. Lin Feng had explored it once during his childhood but gave up midway.

Whoosh

From the initial movement to drawing the gun, and then transforming into a stream of light, every action, every detail plays back in my mind as if in slow motion

Half a month, only half a month left!

Lin Feng smiled wearily, and a flash of intense heat suddenly appeared in his eyes; the surrounding heat waves and temperature could not compare to the fervor in his heart

Intense combustion

The differences between summer and winter are significant

The physical strength has already met the standard; the key lies in speed and power

The forest wind trembled violently, and sweat poured down like heavy rain, yet it was unclear whether it was from the heat or the pain

Wow! In an instant, the terrifying blue-eyed giant bear, towering at least 20 meters high, vanished without a trace. The mysterious warrior seemed to transform into light and shadow. In that moment, all distractions faded away, and only that single shot remained in Lin Feng's mind

Starting tomorrow, abandon everything and strive with all your might; two iron coins are enough for the family to eat well for half a month

I want to become a warrior, and I must not lose
