Chapter 251: Chapter 239: Temporarily Raising the Price, Crossing the River by Tearing Down the Bridge, Divine Technique! (2/3)

It wasn’t just Ge Yunsong.

Everyone in the meeting room realized the strength of Chu Feng’s martial talent.

The willpower that most people spend their entire lives pursuing yet never attain was casually played with in his hands!

This was a natural martial arts seedling, who, as long as he lived, absolutely had the potential to become a true Martial Arts Master!

Even Secretary-General Qian, who always operated by the book, was rendered silent, finding many sharp questions difficult to voice.

Didn’t you see Ge Yunsong had already turned his head, glaring with bloodshot eyes?

If these old protectors heard another question unfriendly to Chu Feng, wouldn’t they likely explode on the spot?!

...

Chu Feng chuckled, his goal achieved.

His speech served to both increase his significance and to let these people know just how talented he was.

Only then would the subsequent matters make sense to them, otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to... No, it wouldn’t be easy to win their trust.

At that moment, when he opened his mouth again, everyone immediately quieted down, watching him intently.

"The Wind Concealment technique I realized from the Rapid Wind Steps is a similar manifestation, harnessing the power of will to transform into a curtain of wind that refracts light, achieving invisibility."

He activated Wind Concealment, and in an instant, he was enveloped by a breeze and disappeared from the room.

The crowd hastily extended their spiritual power, only to sense that Chu Feng was still sitting in his original spot.

Then Chu Feng’s voice, made ethereal by passing through the curtain of wind, echoed throughout the room: "This is Wind Concealment, the method I used to infiltrate the Demon Clan’s camp.

"Speaking of which, I think this is the first time I’ve spoken while in a state of invisibility. It’s a peculiar feeling, quite magical indeed!"

Chu Feng, looking fascinated, found that his voice, as it traveled through the wind curtain, was distorted and amplified, leaving others to hear his voice but unable to pinpoint his exact location.

Then this could be used to play a ghost and scare Ms. Xuerui...

He quickly fell into thought.

It was too interesting... No, he meant it was too mischievous.

"Cough cough... Chu Feng, bring it back now," Ge Yunsong said, laughing.

Chu Feng’s figure slowly reappeared in his seat.

The onlookers looked at each other, Qian Lang thought for a moment, and asked, "This ’Wind Concealment’ is indeed somewhat peculiar, but it can still be detected by spiritual power.

"The spiritual power of the Demon Clan is much stronger than that of the Human Race at the same level. How did you avoid their spiritual scans?"

Ge Yunsong stroked his beard: "Does it have something to do with our institute’s ’Spirit Slaying Sword’?"

Lin Zhong, Xu Tianci, and Qian Lang, among others, turned their attention to Ge Yunsong, who caressed his beard and smiled, saying:

"This is a psychic combat technique developed by Yan University’s Combat Technique Research Institute not long ago. It has not yet been made public, only available for exchange to students and professors."

As he spoke, he took out his communication device and, under everyone’s speechless gaze, made a call: "Old Zhang, you’re in the institute, right?

"There’s something I need you to do right now. Raise the importance of the ’Spirit Slaying Sword’ psychic combat technique! Upgrade it to Legacy Level!

"Just do it, I’ll explain when I get back!"

Xu Tianci narrowed his eyes unhappily, and after Ge Yunsong ended the call, he said in a cold tone, "Old Ge, you’re raising the price before we even know what your damn ’Spirit Slaying Sword’ is good for?

"Raising its level on the fly, that’s really not proper!

"A psychic combat technique, it’s of no use to them even if they took it, and by raising its level, you’re only scamming my Demon Annihilation Army! When you needed my help, Old Man, I didn’t jack up the price on you!"

Ge Yunsong glanced at him with a sneer, "That’s a combat technique developed by Yan University. Since it was discovered to have Concealment, of course, its importance increases.

"That a market move, if you don’t like it, don’t buy! You can choose not to buy, there are plenty of others who will!

"Old Xu, it’s not even your money being spent, it’s the funds allocated by the region, so what are you fretting about! That money isn’t going into my pocket, it’s being used to train geniuses like Chu Feng, is it a loss? No, it’s not!

"Secretary-General Qian didn’t object, what are you fussing about!

"And another thing, don’t think about asking me for favors. If it wasn’t for Chu Feng, where would you get that half-grade military merit? Who helped you find the landmine buried for twenty years?

"It’s because of me pulling strings for you, and I haven’t asked you for any favors yet, but here you are, making accusations first, buzz off, buzz off, buzz off!"

"Old Man Ge, for fuck’s sake! Old savage bull, what the hell are you laughing at?"

Ge Yunsong cursed continuously, his smile making Xu Tianci’s forehead veins pop as he slammed the table and swore furiously.

Burn the bridge after crossing the river!

This old bastard is so infuriating!

The way he begged me that night is completely opposite to his attitude now!

I should never have helped him!

And there’s Lin Zhong, that old bastard, actually taking pleasure in my misfortune!

They should all be thrown onto the front lines into the Dare-to-Die Squad!

In an instant, the three of them started arguing again, with curses flying all over the place.

...

Caught in the middle of the three, Qian Lang, despite his self-restraint, couldn’t help but rub his forehead from the noise.

The higher-ups of these forces... are all like this!?

Quarreling and making a scene without any decency, plotting against the funding of my jurisdiction right in front of me?

Keep it up, and once I return, I’ll report all of you to the Speaker and slash your budget for next year!

He banged on the table forcefully and shouted with True Force, "Enough! Everyone quiet down!"

The loud rebuke burst forth, resonating in the entire conference room, causing even Chu Feng’s ears to buzz faintly.

The rowdy noise of Ge Yunsong and the others was immediately suppressed.

Once the three old guys quieted down with their lips twitching, Qian Lang, looking somewhat weary, sighed, "Could the three senior gentlemen of high esteem in this region care a bit about your image?

"Captain Chu Feng hasn’t made the internal situation clear yet, isn’t it a bit too early for you to start arguing?"

Without giving the three unashamed olds a chance to speak, he turned to Chu Feng, "Captain Chu, please continue."

Chu Feng was also shocked by Ge Yunsong’s shamelessness. He didn’t expect that the old president, who looked so dignified on stage, could be so unreasonable behind closed doors.

The exchange of Cultivation Techniques at the institute is divided into three levels.

Techniques like the Spirit Slaying Sword, which a new recruit like him could exchange for, belong to the common level. They have no threshold, nor a fixed price, and are exchanged for varying amounts of points according to the type.

The second level is the Legacy Level, which can be exchanged by formal researchers of the institute and above.

They’re powerful and relatively dangerous to cultivate, naturally expensive, and come with contribution requirements, operating on a dual system of Contribution Points and points.

The third level is the Secret Level, which is not open for exchange except by high-level researchers and professors.

The power is usually outrageously strong but comes with extremely high risk—it’s the kind that could easily train a person to death!

Just mention this level, and the price goes up by dozens of times!

Chu Feng didn’t know any higher levels since he had only glanced at the institute’s rules roughly.

Listening to Qian Lang’s words, he continued with a smile, "While practicing the Spirit Slaying Sword, I gained an understanding of a kind of Mind Power, and I discovered that this power complements Wind Concealment!

"I’ve simply named it ’Concealment’."

Before the crowd, he performed a gesture to cast Concealment on himself and then immediately cast Wind Concealment, causing his figure to vanish suddenly.

The crowd initially didn’t pay much attention, but after their spiritual power swept over, they were first taken aback and then horrified!

They actually couldn’t find any trace of Chu Feng!

Chu Feng disappeared?!

Only Xu Tianci seemed to have an epiphany, turned his head to look back, focusing on a certain corner, and his lips curled into a slight smile.

Interesting, very interesting!

The optical invisibility, which could easily be pierced by spiritual power, had, with the help of ’Concealment’, become a Divine Technique for hiding one’s tracks!

No wonder this kid could treat the Demon Clan’s camp like his own living room, coming and going as he pleased without any hindrance!
