The night enshrouded everything, the bright moon hung high in the sky!

Ye Feng still sat quietly on Li Qingshan's grave, next to him, a basket contained some food, which Xiao Cui had brought in the afternoon.

Looking up at the myriad of stars in the sky, Ye Feng finally snapped out of his reverie.

"Old man, I've learned some things about my origin..."

Ye Feng spoke to the gravestone as if conversing with that somewhat sleazy and yet kind old man.

Taking a pitch-black ring from his pocket, Ye Feng examined it carefully:

"This was the token of love between my parents, and I am just a bastard, an abandoned child, someone who should never have been born into this world!"

Ye Feng's words were laced with hostility, he had always harbored hopes about his parents and his origin.

But now that he knew he was just a discarded child, that sliver of hope was completely shattered, and he had absolutely no interest in that so-called colossal family!

If it weren't for Li Qingshan, he might have been beaten to death on the streets; without Li Qingshan, he might not have been in this world at all.

When he was young and was beaten bloody by a scavenger for some scraps, where were those so-called parents?

When he was bullied and ganged up on, where was that so-called family?

Ye Feng grew up on the streets, understanding only the laws of the streets.

Whoever had the bigger fist, had the say!!!

Ye Feng shook his head, then glanced at the diamond ring in his hand and anger surged in his heart. With a wave of his palm, he threw the diamond ring away.

But as soon as he threw the diamond ring, his expression instantly stiffened, and he looked at his palm with a hint of disbelief.

"Eh? I feel like this diamond ring seems..."

Thinking back to the strange sensation from just before, Ye Feng paused, then stood up, picked up the diamond ring again, and began to channel the strange energy within his body slowly seeping into the ring.

"That's right!"

After releasing the strange energy from within him, Ye Feng immediately felt the diamond ring absorbing that odd energy!

This anomaly startled him, as this was the first time a non-living thing could absorb his supernatural power, and what's more, it was doing so actively!

Ye Feng's brow furrowed tighter as his eyes studied the diamond ring closely, still unable to determine what material the ring was made of.

"I wonder what will happen if I infuse all the energy in my body into this diamond ring?"

Ye Feng's gaze flickered as he channeled the energy in his body, gradually seeping it into the diamond ring.

A quarter of an hour...

Two quarters of an hour...

An hour...

Two hours...

When it was well into the middle of the night, the diamond ring was still absorbing the energy from Ye Feng's body like an insatiable black hole.

Ye Feng's frown grew deeper, his complexion turned even paler, and he even began to feel dizzy.

Then, Ye Feng's eyelids got heavier and heavier, and years of vigilance seemed to vanish in an instant, and in just a moment, he collapsed on the grave and fell into a deep sleep.

...

The night passed in a flash, and it wasn't until the next day's afternoon when the setting sun shone on Ye Feng that he jolted awake, completely coming to his senses.

"Damn it!"

Ye Feng's complexion turned unsightly in an instant; this was the first time he had slept so deeply. If an enemy had attacked under these circumstances, he would have been dead without a doubt!

At this thought, a cold sweat broke out on Ye Feng's forehead. His eyes were fixed on the diamond ring that was still in his palm, his face filled with horror!

"What the hell is this thing? How can it absorb the energy from within my body?"

Ye Feng's gaze flickered uncertainly, his mind filled with intense confusion. Then, when he sensed the energy within his body, he was immediately stunned!

Just last night, the energy within his body had been nearly drained by the diamond ring, but now, his energy was brimming, even surpassing the previous levels by several measures!

Moreover, the current fullness of his internal energy was not far from the Ninth Layer of the Nameless Technique!

"What's going on here?"

Ye Feng was utterly bewildered. The diamond ring felt too strange to him. After deliberating for a moment, he decided to put it away and study it another day.

Getting to his feet, Ye Feng stretched his body and discovered that both his sensitivity and perceptiveness had greatly improved. He couldn't help marveling at the discovery.

Glancing at the setting sun about to disappear, Ye Feng went straight down the mountain to buy some liquor and joss paper!

Meanwhile, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, there were a dozen or so figures wielding machetes, making their way up the mountain.

Leading these men was a man with long curly hair. His left arm was wrapped around a garishly dressed, seductive woman, while his right hand picked his nose, leading the way.

The dozen or so burly men following him each held a gleaming machete with murderous intent. One of them was the Three Skin Bro whom Ye Feng had encountered before!

"Big Kui! Why would that kid live on the mountain? It's just too weird," Three Skin said, using his machete to chop down the roadside weeds while speaking to Big Kui.

Big Kui spoke carelessly:

"Fuck! I'm telling you, that kid is just a freaking weirdo. He always used to live on the mountain with some old guy and barely interacted with anyone. Now that the old guy is dead, he probably won't last long here either!"

While speaking, a vicious expression crossed Big Kui's face:

"That bastard beat me several times when we were in high school. I've been unable to find him for years. Now that he has returned, I must reclaim everything, with interest!"

Having said that, Big Kui glanced at the surrounding environment and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then wrapped his arms around the woman in his embrace and said to his men:

"You guys go ahead and wait. I've got something to talk about with your sister-in-law. We'll chop up that guy in a while!"

Hearing this, the other youths erupted in laughter:

"Damn! Big Kui really is in the mood, doing it up here in the wild will absolutely be thrilling!"

"That's right! Big Kui is the man. One day I'll bring my girl here too, and it will be freaking awesome!"

"Big Kui, take your time with sister-in-law. We will wait up ahead!"

...

The youths all cast greedy glances at the seductive woman before laughing and continuing forward.

Watching them leave, Big Kui, who was already itching with impatience, began to undress the woman immediately.

"Big Kui, you're so impatient. In this godforsaken place, what's there to be excited about?"

The seductive woman was not too keen.

"Fuck! Making love is the greatest gift God has bestowed on mankind. We should enjoy this gift anytime and anywhere, without hesitation!"

Big Kui said with urgency:

"Hurry up and strip, damn it, quit your yapping. I'll take good care of you in a bit!"

After saying that, Big Kui pushed the woman against a tree, but just as he was about to proceed, he froze. He had heard a woman's cry for help!
