The shadow's eyes lit up.

This morning, he had already received a notification that a special training session targeting Zhang Lingfeng would take place, involving a third-year martial arts student who was practicing the Lone Wolf Saber Technique. He had already reviewed information about her identity and other characteristics.

It was precisely the woman in front of him, Qiu Kui.

Qiu Kui was unaware of the shadow's existence.

She arrived at the riverbank and quickly found Zhang Lingfeng, who was standing behind Xu Xiaomei, teaching her hands-on how to cast and reel in a fishing line.

Completely oblivious to her arrival.

Considering Xu Xiaomei's presence, Qiu Kui didn't rush to make a move. She deliberately went to a corner, sat on a rock, and pondered how to improve her saber technique quickly.

Recalling everything she had experienced on the front lines, reviewing her actions, and thinking about how to handle drastically stronger environments and enemies.

As someone extremely eager to become stronger, Qiu Kui wouldn't miss any cultivation time; even on the way to the mission, she was thinking and summarizing.

However, Zhang Lingfeng and Xu Xiaomei's laughter was truly grating, which made her somewhat uncomfortable. To avoid being disturbed by them, she deliberately moved away and became more resolute in making Zhang Lingfeng remember her forever.

She couldn't tolerate someone enjoying high-standard resources and benefits wasting time on anything beyond cultivation and learning.

Even flirting with girls shouldn't happen at this time.

"Why haven't you made a move yet?"

The shadow was getting a little anxious.

"I bought you some food."

"There's something happening at home, I have to go back first. Xiao Feng, take good care of Xiaomei and remember to send her home later."

Old Zhou put the things down and quickly ran away, hiding in the distance to watch, afraid of disturbing Zhang Lingfeng and Xu Xiaomei.

"That old geezer, I should've thrown him in the river to feed the fish."

The shadow was furious, feeling Zhang Lingfeng was led astray by Old Zhou.

"Grandpa Zhou bought so much fruit, I'll feed you."

Xu Xiaomei placed a slice of fruit into Zhang Lingfeng's mouth.

"Hmm, thank you!"

Zhang Lingfeng looked grateful. Old Zhou had gone to great lengths to indulge him in fishing and match him with Xu Xiaomei, investing heavily in it.

In this post-apocalyptic survival environment where resources were scarce, fruit was also a scarce food in Inner Ring City.

He felt a bit conflicted, knowing Old Zhou had no good intentions, yet he genuinely wanted to thank him. Without Old Zhou's crazy support, he wouldn't have gained so much Coasting Along Value these days.

His Combat Power and Physical Fitness wouldn't have increased so quickly, but when Old Zhou discovers how his strength has skyrocketed during this stage, he wonders how he will react.

"Zhang Lingfeng!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, accompanied by a wave of chilling aura.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng and Xu Xiaomei deeply engaged, feeding each other fruits and vegetables, and having fun by the river, Qiu Kui couldn't hold back anymore.

After teaching Zhang Lingfeng a lesson, she still needed to go back to cultivate and spar with Lin Chengfeng. Staying here was a torment.

Plus, her master and the City Lord were waiting for her reply; she didn't have much time to waste with Zhang Lingfeng.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Lingfeng frowned; he didn't recognize Qiu Kui.

"Someone here to kill you."

Qiu Kui replied.

Half of the long saber at her waist was drawn, the cold light reflecting on Xu Xiaomei's face. Under that intense aura, Xu Xiaomei looked panicked, clumsily climbing up the riverbank and fleeing without a moment's hesitation.

"Kill me?"

Zhang Lingfeng frowned; why waste words when killing someone.

"Xiaomei, why are you running?"

Old Zhou had been paying attention to the situation. Seeing Xu Xiaomei suddenly run, he quickly came down from the tree to stop her and asked.

"Someone wants to kill Zhang Lingfeng, it's too scary, that look."

Xu Xiaomei said with a panicked expression.

"You must be mistaken. In broad daylight, who would dare touch Zhang Lingfeng?"

Old Zhou found it a bit ridiculous.

Xu Xiaomei didn't want any trouble and left as if fleeing.

Old Zhou decided to go back and see. From a distance, he only saw an additional person on the riverbank and didn't know who it was.

"Roar!"

After scaring away Xu Xiaomei, Qiu Kui had no more scruples. The long saber was fully drawn, and she dived down with a slash aimed at Zhang Lingfeng's vitals.

The Lone Wolf Saber Technique consisted of seven moves, each a deadly strike imbued with an unstoppable momentum, making it difficult for average people to withstand.

"Damn..."

Zhang Lingfeng was still wondering if Qiu Kui was trying to scare him when he suddenly saw her pounce down like a tigress, with terrifying saber light sweeping towards him.

By reflex, he used the fishing rod as a long spear, and with the Perfection-level Realm Power, it penetrated from the rod and quickly blocked Qiu Kui's first slash, leaping onto the riverbank.

"What grudge do I have with you?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked frustrated.

Qiu Kui's saber technique was full of killing intent, with decisive and direct moves; she didn't seem like she was joking.

Qiu Kui remained silent, seeing Zhang Lingfeng leap onto the riverbank, she pursued her advantage, also intending to come up.

Zhang Lingfeng quickly swung out a shot, as if playing whack-a-mole, pinning Qiu Kui down. The fishing rod, after all, was just a rod and couldn't compare to a long spear. Once Qiu Kui got onto the riverbank, in a direct confrontation, the rod would quickly shatter, and then, barehanded, even if his Combat Power was higher, Zhang Lingfeng wouldn't be Qiu Kui's match.

Moreover, that killing intent was genuinely terrifying.

"What's going on?"

Old Zhou finally arrived.

"Help me find a gun!"

Zhang Lingfeng shouted, seeing Qiu Kui trying to break up from another place, he hurried to intercept her, using the terrain advantage to suppress Qiu Kui.
