Cultivation Pet Shop

The rest of the day passed by without anything that exciting happening.

The only other thing that happened was that the Thunder Sect announced that they would be leading the expedition into the Ancient Era Ruins in one month exactly. They hoped that everyone would be ready to explore the ruins when the time came.

Now Lin Fan at least knew when the trip would be.

But before that, there were still many things that he had to take care of.

For example, he still felt that his cultivation was too low.

While he might be able to fight someone in the High Child Soul Realm and would be able to escape from someone in the Peak Child Soul Realm, that wouldn't be enough.

He had to get stronger not just for the Ancient Era Ruins, but also for what he was planning in the future.

After all, there were still members of his family that were being held captive…

So over the next month, Lin Fan focused on his training, leaving the matters of the store to Mo Ze Chen and Lulu.

​ He stayed in the back of the store most of the time or ran off to a cultivation realm to temper himself. The only times that he came out was when someone contacted him for something, like the Hunters Organization.

However, his isolated cultivation period wasn't in vain as he was able to break through to the Mid Embryo Soul Realm during this time.

It was a good thing that he had made that breakthrough in one of his cultivation realms instead of in the store, otherwise who knows what kind of a commotion he would have caused.

After all, the phenomenon that he caused when he broke through was on the same level as a Nascent Soul Realm Expert breaking through to the True Soul Realm.

If this had happened at the shop, there was no doubt that his store would have been completely surrounded by experts of the twelve great factions.

His breakthrough had come in the middle of the month, so he used the rest of the month to stabilize his cultivation.

As for the outside world during this month, there really wasn't much that happened since everyone else was also preparing to enter the Ancient Era Ruins.

There were only a few matters that did happen during this month.

The first was a report that Qiao Yi Fei had brought him from the Hunters Organization about a new member of the Shi Family that had been dispatched, Shi Yi.

Lin Fan took note that Shi Yi was the big sister of Shi Yan, so he knew that she would be trouble. After all, the Shi Family dispatching someone like Shi Yi must mean that they wanted to find the person who killed Shi Yan and take revenge, so as that person, there was no doubt that he would be targeted by them.

Not to mention that the report mentioned that Shi Yi was noted to be working with Lei Feng.

Lei Feng hated Lin Fan's guts, so there was no doubt that he would do what he could to convince Shi Yi that Lin Fan was the one who killed Shi Yan.

So he had no doubt that he would have to face this Shi Yi in the Ancient Era Ruins in the end.

The second thing that happened was that the City Lord Manor had actually stopped their attacks on the Xu Family.

It wasn't that they were no longer bothered by the City Lord Manor's attacks because the Hunters Organization was helping them, but rather they had completely stopped their attacks.

Both the Xu Family and the Hunters Organization had been confused by this and when it was reported to Lin Fan, even he was confused by why the City Lord had done this.

After all, it wasn't as if the grudge between them had suddenly disappeared. He had even heard that He Yong's condition had gotten worse, though he didn't know the cause of why it got worse.

Since that was the case, wouldn't the City Lord be even more angry at him and would double down on his harassment?

Why did he suddenly stop harassing them like nothing was wrong?

Lin Fan couldn't understand what the City Lord was thinking, but he did advise both the Xu Family and the Hunters Organization to raise their vigilance just in case.

But even by the end of the month, nothing had happened at all.

The third matter was the biggest matter, though it didn't really concern Lin Fan that much.

It had happened suddenly and it had happened when Lin Fan was in the cultivation realm breaking through.

But even if it didn't concern Lin Fan himself, it was something that had become the talk of the town for the rest of the month.

No one knew what the reason was, but Lei Feng suddenly changed Wang Jian to a duel. If they had to guess, it was because of his title as the number one ranked member of the Decagram Geniuses.

Since they were both part of the Decagram Geniuses, naturally Lei Feng wouldn't be satisfied with being ranked underneath Wang Jian, so it was natural for him to challenge Wang Jian for the title of number one.

It was just that it was too sudden.

Everyone had already heard about Wang Jian's sudden increase in power and how he was almost able to break through to the Child Soul Realm, but they hadn't heard any special news from Lei Feng. No one understood where his confidence to challenge Wang Jian came from.

Still, that didn't dampen their excitement to watch the fun since this was a fight between two top geniuses of the twelve great factions. Since they were going to fight, naturally everyone was more than happy to watch.

Not to mention that this would be helpful for them since it would give them precious information on Wang Jian and Lei Feng before the Ancient Era Ruins opened.

No one had any doubt that they would have to compete against each other in the Ancient Era Ruins, so before they did, any information that they could get on their competition would be very valuable.

So among the crowd that had gathered to watch the duel between Lei Feng and Wang Jian, there were many geniuses from the twelve great factions.

Wang Jian didn't plan on using his full power first since he was confident that he would be able to take care of Lei Feng without it, but that plan quickly changed after he saw what gave Lei Feng the confidence to challenge him.

After they met in the arena, Lei Feng was the first to speak as he said, "You're going down today."

Wang Jian just narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lei Feng before cupping his hands and giving a slight bow.

Lei Feng didn't give him the same greeting, rather he just waved his hand and pulled out a spear that he pointed at Wang Jian.

The moment that this spear appeared, Wang Jian deeply knitted his brows as a bit of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Based on the aura from the spear, he could tell that it wasn't a normal weapon. Rather, based on this aura, he could tell that this was a Child Soul Realm Artifact.

He himself was only using an Embryo Soul Realm Artifact and this was the best that he could get as a genius of the Myriad Sword Hall.

Just where had Lei Feng gotten this Child Soul Realm Artifact from?

But now wasn't the time to think about this since Lei Feng was already charging at him with this Child Soul Realm Spear.

Just as he had expected, the power of the spear really was overwhelming. It had almost reached the level of being as strong as a sword cultivator's attacks which was commonly regarded as being the strongest attacks.

Of course, that didn't mean that Wang Jian wasn't able to match it since he was a sword cultivator.

With a single sweep of his sword, the attacks of the two came together, clashing for a minute before both of them were pushed back.

Lei Feng was surprised to see Wang Jian being able to block his attack, but he didn't give him any time to breathe. He knew that sword cultivators had to use quite a bit of life energy to use their powerful attacks, so he wanted to wear Wang Jian down using the Child Soul Realm Spear.

It was just too bad that he didn't know anything about Wang Jian.

That attack just now wasn't his full power attack, it wasn't even a normal attack for him. It was one that he had released quickly because he had been caught off guard by how powerful Lei Feng's spear attack was.

Now that he had some time to focus, naturally the next attack would be countless times stronger.

The life energy gathered around his sword before he swung out and with just a single slash, he sent Lei Feng flying and forced him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Lei Feng flew out several meters before landing on the ground. He didn't look badly hurt, but it was clear that the fight was already over.

This result was what everyone had expected, but what was unexpected was Lei Feng's attitude after the fight.

Everyone had assumed that Lei Feng would lose his temper after losing, but what they didn't expect was that he just coldly walked off the stage and out of the arena without saying a thing.

This wasn't like the Lei Feng that the rumours had described.

Still, since the fight was over, everyone quickly dispersed.

Those were the only three matters that happened in the past month and the month had gone by in a blur.

Now it was time for the Ancient Era Ruins exploration expedition.
