After that incident, Ling Zhenfei understood a principle: Spiritual Power wasn't absolute. As long as it was applied properly, even someone of a higher Realm could be killed using ingenious Techniques.
Therefore, from then on, he began searching for powerful Techniques and, very fortunately, Ling Zhenfei timely found the Sky Piercing Finger and Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, which taught him there were higher levels to strive for.
Both the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists and Sky Piercing Finger were techniques that compressed one's own Northern Spiritual Energy. After twelve cycles of circulation, the Northern Spiritual Energy would be compressed together and then released through both fists.
When used properly, this Technique could easily kill a cultivator of the same Realm, and even those of a higher Realm could be challenged.
Now, Ling Zhenfei had already stepped out of his contentment spiral, but Meng Yang was still stuck at the bottom of the well, not knowing that such miraculous Cultivation Techniques existed in the world.
With every punch, the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists increased the Spiritual Power exponentially; the tenth punch possessed the power to split heaven itself. However, Ling Zhenfei's current level of Northern Spiritual Energy couldn't yet manifest the tenth punch, but reaching the sixth punch was still within his confidence.
"Now, let me show you how formidable I, Ling Zhenfei, can be."
Ling Zhenfei stepped back two steps with his words, and although one of his arms was immobile, the Northern Spiritual Energy flowed through his other arm. As the Northern Spiritual Energy moved, several fallen leaves on the ground suddenly lifted into the air and started circling around Ling Zhenfei.
With the leaves spinning, those on the trees began to fall en masse and then joined the swirling vortex in the air around Ling Zhenfei, forming a funnel of leaves with him at the center.
Meng Yang was obviously shocked and yelled to the people around him, "This kid can't move one of his arms. Everybody, attack together, let's take this kid down."
Meng Yang was calling out to those surrounding from the outside. After rushing out just now, they had Ling Zhenfei encircled. At that moment, as he spoke, everyone reacted and charged towards Ling Zhenfei.
"Overestimating yourselves!"
Seeing the crowd rushing at him, Ling Zhenfei snorted coldly and with a single wave of his hand, the leaves in the air surged towards the people around him.
The leaves, as if alive, assaulted the people around. Most of them were ordinary people, no match for Ling Zhenfei; a single rush from the leaves knocked them all to the ground.
The leaves were like blades, easily slicing open skin as they brushed past, truly terrifying to witness.
Of course, Meng Yang received special attention from Ling Zhenfei; a large portion of the leaves stormed towards him. Meng Yang was petrified and barely blocked the first wave of leaf attacks with his Northern Spiritual Energy, his clothes cut with numerous slashes that didn't reach his body.
But at that moment, Ling Zhenfei's figure flickered and he closed in, throwing a punch towards Meng Yang.
It was a very ordinary punch, but as Meng Yang had no protection, he was hit squarely on the chest by Ling Zhenfei's fist and sent flying.
Meng Yang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly injured.
In fact, Ling Zhenfei had not used his full strength. If he had used his Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, Meng Yang's injury would have been more than just simple harm.
Just one encounter left everyone around injured and on the ground, soon the area was littered with bodies, Meng Yang was wounded, and others were cut by the leaves. Now, no one dared to stand in front of Ling Zhenfei, pointing fingers and commenting.
Ling Zhenfei looked at Wei Bingzhong: "Boss Wei, don't you want to try a few moves yourself?"
Wei Bingzhong's eyes were filled with shock. He said, "I really didn't expect this, Divine Doctor Ling is not only a great healer but also a Spiritual Cultivator. You've hidden your abilities quite well."
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Who has hidden more, you should know better than I do, Boss Wei. I don't have treasures as powerful as yours. If I hadn't shaken hands with Boss Wei, I might not even know now that Boss Wei's strength is formidable, even surpassing Meng Yang."
Wei Bingzhong sneered and glanced at the people on the ground. His eyes rolled around as if he was contemplating something, but none of this escaped Ling Zhenfei's watchful eye.
"Boss Wei, are you considering whether or not to make a move, and what the chances of victory would be after you do?" Ling Zhenfei seemed to see through everything.
In fact, Ling Zhenfei was also somewhat worried. Although he had defeated Meng Yang, the Cold Ice Heart Meridian's cold qi from earlier was still present in his body, and his arm was still affected, so while he spoke, he used his Spiritual Power to try and break through the frozen meridians.
If Wei Bingzhong made a move now, it was hard to say who would lose and who would win.
"That's right. I did think so. I've witnessed your strength just now and I think our abilities are about the same. Plus, with all these people around, maybe they really could defeat you. But today, I don't feel like taking the risk," Wei Bingzhong actually admitted, to Ling Zhenfei's surprise.
"So, Boss Wei, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I will be leaving," said Ling Zhenfei.
"Divine Doctor Ling, I still advise you to cooperate with me. Don't think that's all the strength I have. You see my situation now, and if you mess up my auction, I don't know what I would do," Wei Bingzhong threatened.
Ling Zhenfei was furious at this, he walked two steps towards Wei Bingzhong, stopped right in front of him, and said fiercely, "Boss Wei, don't blame me for not reminding you, Ling Zhenfei is not someone to be trifled with. Here, I'd like to offer a few words of advice: mind the consequences if you provoke me."
"To do business, you must act like a businessman. Competition is necessary for progress. If you play tricks and destroy others to benefit yourself, then sorry, Ling Zhenfei will definitely not let you off easily. I will be watching you closely, and if you do anything out of line, you will be the next person I deal with."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei no longer paid attention to Wei Bingzhong and turned to walk outside. He had not come to kill anyone; he did not wish for enmity with anyone.
Upon leaving, Ling Zhenfei immediately found a place with no one around to sit down and recover. He needed to expel the cold qi from his body. Ling Zhenfei could feel that the cold qi aimed to enter his heart; thankfully, he reacted in time, or else it would have been more bad than good.
After forcing the cold qi out of his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and admonished himself never to do such foolish things again.
Once he was completely recovered, Ling Zhenfei called Bai Ling to pick him up.
Bai Ling responded very quickly. It didn't take long for her to drive to Ling Zhenfei's side.
"Hey, why are you on Wei Bingzhong's turf at Zongheng International?" Bai Ling asked curiously upon receiving Ling Zhenfei's call.
"Of course, it's to discuss a big deal with Boss Wei," Ling Zhenfei bluffed casually, playfully teasing Bai Ling.
