Chapter 002: The Devil's Cage

Of course, the wind now is no longer ordinary. Long Yuan gazed at the sky outside the door, appearing to be lost in thought

Long Yunfeng

"Halt! This is a restricted area where dangerous criminals are held. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter." A middle-aged man stopped Long Yunfeng.

The so-called devil's cage refers to a place where some wicked individuals are imprisoned. In there, even if one dies, no one will care. After all, those inside are all vicious criminals, and once confined, it is tantamount to enduring endless torment.

"Hehe, what could be more important than having breakfast?" Fiona shot a reproachful glance at Long Yunfeng.

As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe entered from outside the door. He had a full beard, a dark complexion, and a strong physique; he was none other than Long Yunfeng's father, the Fourth Elder Long Yuan

Upon a brief encounter, the two men had not yet reacted when they were violently struck, causing them to spit out large amounts of fresh blood. They staggered back several steps, barely managing to steady themselves.

"Alright." Long Yunfeng smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered something, then said: "By the way, Mother, I have something I would like to discuss with you."

Long Yunfeng furrowed his brow, pondering: Is this what is referred to as fighting spirit in this world? It seems rather interesting, so I shall experience it thoroughly.

Long Yunfeng observed the two individuals in a daze and could not help but say coldly: "Come on, my time is limited"

In the Longteng family, although the cultivation of martial artists is highly esteemed, the sudden emergence of Long Yunfeng, who has the potential to become a great magician, has led the Longteng family to regard him as a precious treasure. Consequently, Long Yunfeng's status within the clan has risen to unprecedented heights.

The Devil's Cage is located in the back mountain of the Longteng family, which is responsible for its guardianship. The back mountain is a perilous circular canyon, difficult to traverse. Even if one manages to cross it, they would find themselves in the dragon clan's gathering place, which protects the empire. If one rashly intrudes into the sacred land of the dragons, it would truly mean a fate worse than death

With a bang

The "Xisui Jing" and the "Yijinjing" are both unparalleled martial arts that integrate internal and external cultivation. After practicing them, one's internal strength can continuously increase, and the body can become as tough as steel. Long Yunfeng possesses the cultivation experience from his previous life, making the practice of these two techniques exceptionally smooth for him

In a previous life, Long Yunfeng was an orphan, yet now he has arrived in another world, where he is fortunate to experience the love of family, making him feel an even greater sense of appreciation

Before them stood a beautiful woman with a smiling face, her long, flowing hair a deep shade of blue, a fair and clean oval face, and bright blue eyes. She was none other than Fiona, the biological mother of Long Yunfeng

After a long while, the two middle-aged men finally came to their senses. One of the men then solemnly reminded, "Young Master, please forgive us. Not just anyone can enter the Devil's Cage. First, you must each withstand one of our attacks; only then can you prove your qualification to enter."

However, Fiona gazed at Long Yuan, but still lowered her head. Turning back, she looked at Long Yunfeng with reluctance and said, "Feng'er, promise your mother that you will return safely, alright?"

"The Devil's Cage! That won't do!" Fiana interrupted Long Yunfeng's words without hesitation, urgently and anxiously advising, "Feng'er, don't you know what kind of place the Devil's Cage is? Moreover, you are currently in a weak state; if you enter the Devil's Cage, can you endure it? Do you understand? I once thought I would lose you forever, and the pain in my heart was immense. But now, you have given me great hope, so I will not lose you again"

"Mother, the child truly wishes to go to that place with books. The child does not want to become so timid; the child wants to grow stronger, so that he will not be bullied and can protect you." Long Yunfeng spoke with a tone that seemed almost like a plea.

A series of knocks echoed at the door, and Fiona's voice came from outside: "Feng'er, are you inside?"

Fiana gazed at Long Yunfeng's departing figure, tears streaming down her face as she leaned against Long Yuan's broad chest: "Will Feng really return safely?"

Long Yunfeng merely took half a step back, his face full of coldness

Upon hearing the sound, Long Yunfeng immediately awakened from his state of cultivation, smiled happily, and called out: "I am here, Mother"

They have all heard of the incident regarding Long Yunfeng's resurrection after death. It is said that he was originally in critical condition, yet the Long Yunfeng they see before them is astonishing to both of them. Upon hearing that Long Yunfeng wishes to enter the Devil's Cage for cultivation, it becomes even more unbelievable.

"Young Master, you wouldn't be joking with us, would you? We wouldn't dare to harm you," a middle-aged man said, his disdainful gaze mocking Long Yunfeng.

The Devil's Cage, a particularly special place within the Longteng family.

Long Yunfeng paid no attention to the astonished expressions of the two individuals and calmly asked, "So can I go in now?"

How can they be made to accept this result

Suddenly, it was at this moment

"Hmm." Long Yuan nodded, walked over to the puzzled Fiona, and sighed deeply: "Anna, let us trust the wind. If he can come back to life after death, how can we fear a mere devil's cage? I believe this is the arrangement of fate; let it be his choice."

The two fists met the two palms, and two powerful forces collided fiercely. The two men initially held a dismissive attitude, and their strength was not fully exerted, while Long Yunfeng, however, was attacking with all his might

As soon as the words were spoken, the two figures swiftly charged forward, their hands filled with white light, striking in perfect unison at Long Yunfeng's shoulders

As for Long Yunfeng, who underwent a significant change in personality after his resurrection, no one doubts it. This is the rule of respecting the strong; as long as you possess great strength or the ability to become stronger, you will only receive the respect of others

Both were taken aback, for what Long Yunfeng had said was exceedingly arrogant. It is well known that Long Yunfeng is a frail individual; in terms of strength, he possesses none at all. Moreover, having just returned from the dead after only one day, how could he possibly become powerful in such a short time? They would never believe it, even if beaten to death.

Long Yunfeng felt a warmth in his heart and gazed at Fiona, replying: "Mother, will you trust me? Let me go, please"

Thank you. Long Yunfeng slightly nodded, elegantly waving his long sleeves as he walked towards the buzzing stone door that opened by itself, departing with grace

"Yes, trust the child; the child will definitely not let you down." Long Yunfeng's face was filled with confidence

After taking a few steps, Long Yunfeng arrived at the door and gently pushed it open.

They were so shocked that their entire bodies began to tremble

Thus, after just one night of cultivation, combined with the invaluable experience accumulated by Long Yunfeng in his previous life, his internal energy directly reached the second level

"Hehe, go ahead, we will be here waiting for your return." Long Yuan encouraged with a smile, his eyes filled with deep reluctance

Long Yunfeng remained silent, continuing to walk forward. Suddenly, he raised his head and calmly said: "I am Long Yunfeng, the son of the Fourth Elder of the Longteng Clan, and I wish to enter the Devil's Cage for cultivation"

Today marks the passage of one day since the funeral of Long Yunfeng

At this thought, Long Yunfeng began to circulate the internal energy within his body, and a surge of power emanated from his arms

With their strength gathered, the two men first reminded Long Yunfeng: "Young Master, be careful!"

At this moment, all that could be felt was shock; the two men stared incredulously at the expressionless Long Yunfeng before them. They could not comprehend how someone who was completely unable to sense the presence of fighting spirit could repel both of them with a single strike

At this moment, Long Yunfeng was practicing the "Yijinjing" technique, his mind completely relaxed, and his thoughts became extraordinarily calm. He controlled the flow of qi, which circulated gently within his body. His intention followed his form, and his spirit accompanied his will. With each transformation of the energy channels, Long Yunfeng's internal strength gradually increased by a fraction.

Thus, it is referred to as the Devil's Cage. However, the Devil's Cage has a special function; for ordinary cultivators, entering the Devil's Cage for training is extremely beneficial

At this moment, Long Yunfeng had already walked alone to the outside of the canyon, where two middle-aged men were stationed at the entrance of the stone gate.

At this moment, Fiona once again gazed at her biological son, who seemed both strange and familiar. Although she could hardly believe it, as if in a dream, Fiona's face was radiant with happiness as she gently asked, "Feng'er, are you feeling unwell?"

The news of Long Yunfeng's rebirth at the funeral has already spread throughout the entire imperial capital, but the shocking information that Long Yunfeng possesses an unprecedented all-elemental magical body in the continent has been suppressed by the Longteng family

Thereafter, Long Yunfeng performed a bow to bid farewell and walked straight out the door

"Hehe, Mother, please rest assured, I am fine now, there is no need for you to worry too much." Long Yunfeng smiled faintly

Moreover, the most important thing is that neither of them can sense any aura of fighting spirit within Long Yunfeng's body at all

Long Yunfeng hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "Mother, I have wasted over ten years, so I wish to go to the Devil's Cage to cultivate with the books..."

Fiana gritted her teeth, just about to respond, when suddenly a familiar, clear voice came from outside the door: "Anna, just let the wind go."

"That's good. I have already asked someone to prepare breakfast for you, and it will be delivered shortly. I believe your stomach must be quite hungry by now," Fiona smiled and stepped into the room

Casually, the two nodded to each other and began to channel the fighting energy within them, a faint white light glowing in their palms. Although they spoke of it, they still showed restraint, gathering only a fraction of their power.

Father, Long Yunfeng immediately called out

"Rest assured, I am fine." Long Yunfeng stood before the two with a calm demeanor akin to still water, an aura of mastery subtly emanating from him

The two individuals suddenly sensed a change in Long Yunfeng's aura, once again shocked and looking at him in disbelief. Is this truly the waste talent that has been said to emerge only once in a millennium from the Longteng family?

These fists, seemingly unremarkable, contain a terrifying strength within them

The two felt that Long Yunfeng seemed to look down on them. After all, they were also powerful swordsmen; how could they be intimidated by Long Yunfeng?

This time marks the first confrontation between Chinese martial arts and fighting spirit. With his internal energy fully charged, Long Yunfeng faced the two powerful hands and suddenly struck with both fists.

"Alright, then you all come together," Long Yunfeng replied淡淡.

Upon hearing this, Fiona was deeply moved, gently caressing Long Yunfeng's cheeks with both hands, her eyes shimmering with tears as she softly said: "Have you ever considered how your mother would feel?"

At this moment, Long Yunfeng was quietly cultivating in his room, circulating the energy flow within his body

The two men gazed foolishly at Long Yunfeng's figure, as if in a dream, gradually disappearing from their sight

The two middle-aged men were both taken aback, gazing in astonishment at the extraordinary young man before them.
