Chapter Eighty-Three: Strange Happenings

  "What's going on?" Leng Xiao Yao struggled to open his eyes, only to find himself lying on a simple wooden bed, covered with a thick layer of animal hide.

  Feng Tianming, who had been in the military camp tent all along, heard a faint movement and hastily looked towards the direction of the bed. As he looked over, he saw a pair of bright eyes and his face revealed a look of surprise as he shouted: "General, Young Master has woken up."

  A flurry of footsteps sounded, and a moment later, Huang Tao and the other team leaders rushed into the tent.

  "Master, you've finally woken up. Is your body feeling uncomfortable in any way?" Huang Tao asked with a tense expression.

  Leng Xiao Yao woke up from his coma in less than five breaths, and at this moment, his head was still throbbing with pain. He naturally ignored Huang Tao's questions and instead asked: "How long have I been unconscious?"

  "Young master, you've been unconscious for two whole days and nights, scaring me to death." Feng Tianming replied to Leng Xuan's question, but his eyes revealed a hint of gratitude.

  "Two days and two nights?" Leng Xiao Yao's face changed slightly, and the next moment, he jumped up from bed and said: "Damn, isn't Lu Ping Yuan in danger? What's the current situation outside?"

  Huang Tao gently stretched out his hand and pressed on Leng Xiao Yao's shoulder, letting him sit back on the bed. With a faint smile on his face, he said: "Young Master, don't worry about Lu Ping Yuan now. We are currently in Lu Ping Yuan, and the Law Enforcement Brotherhood suffered heavy losses three days ago, so for the past two days, they have only engaged in small-scale battles with us. Moreover, they even sent us a letter of challenge, saying that anyone above team leader level is not allowed to participate in battle, hehe."

  "Hmph, I think they're afraid of losing! Grandma's, that day shouldn't have let that guy get away." Feng Tianming's face showed a look of disdain.

  "Huh?" Leng Xiao Yao only then noticed that Feng Tian Ming's aura had changed, and with a smile on his face said: "Congratulations, Big Brother Feng, you've advanced again."

  "Haha!" After a silly smile, Zhang Fei and the four others who fought alongside Feng Tianming that day knelt down on one knee in front of Leng Xiao Yao and said: "We thank you for your kindness, Young Master."

  Leng Xiao Yao saw the four of them, Feng Tian Ming and others, kneeling down, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hastily propped himself up, but as soon as he stood up, his body swayed slightly. He then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Feng Big Brother, Zhang Big Brother, Yan Big Brother, Lin Big Brother, what are you all doing? Quickly get up."

  "Master, you've been unconscious for many days without eating, your body is still weak, don't get up." Huang Tao saw the swaying figure of Leng Xiao Yao and quickly helped him sit back on the bed. With a stern face, he said to Feng Tian Ming and the others: "All of you, get up! Do you want Master to personally help you four troublemakers up?"

  "Yes, General." Feng Tianming and the four others responded in unison, then turned to face Leng Xiao Yao who was sitting on the bed and said: "Thank you, Young Master."

  Leng Xiao Yao didn't remember anything about the moment before he fainted, but vaguely recalled that during his dazed state, he seemed to have broken through the first layer of the Copper Body realm and reached the second layer. Had he done something earth-shattering before fainting? Ah yes, what about the iron rod? Leng Xiao Yao only then remembered that he hadn't stored the iron rod in the Hunyuan Pearl before fainting, hopefully it wouldn't get lost!

  "By the way, where's my weapon?" Leng Xiao asked anxiously, his face revealing a look of urgency. The reason for his anxiety was that this iron rod was too special, even the Duan Chang Sword couldn't withstand the power of the soul, yet this unassuming iron rod had withstood it twice without shattering, making it clear that currently only this iron rod was suitable as Leng Xiao's weapon.

  "An iron rod?" Huang Tao and the others heard their young master ask this, each of them revealing a look of shame and strange eyes on their faces.

  Leng Xiao Yao saw the expression on Huang Tao and others, his heart had already sunk to the bottom. He thought it was because of the loss of the iron rod, so he showed a look of loss on his face and sighed: "Forget it, if it's lost, then it's lost!"

  "Young master, nothing's lost." Huang Tao's face showed a hint of embarrassment as he responded.

  "Didn't lose?" Leng Xiao Yao heard Huang Tao's response, and his originally disappointed expression immediately revealed a look of surprise. He hastily called out: "Quickly, quickly have someone send it over to me."

  Stillness, extreme stillness, the entire tent was silent as Huang Tao and several other generals didn't move their bodies or mouths, and each person's face revealed a strange expression.

  Leng Xiao felt something was off and a look of puzzlement appeared on his face as he asked: "What's wrong?"

  Feng Tianming couldn't bear the atmosphere and stood up, saying: "Young Master, it's not that we didn't want to bring it back, but that iron rod is really strange! We used all our strength but couldn't pull out the iron rod, it seems like it's connected to the earth."

  "Can't pull it out?" This time, Leng Xiao's face showed a strange expression, and his eyes turned to Huang Tao. He really didn't believe that with Feng Tianming's high-level swordsmanship, he couldn't pull it out? Even if they couldn't pull it out, wouldn't Huang Tao's mid-level Sword Saint strength be able to pull it out?

  Huang Tao felt the inquiring gaze of his young master and revealed a look of embarrassment, saying: "Young Master, I've also tried it, but no matter how much internal energy I used, I couldn't pull out that iron rod."

  "Huh?" Leng Xiao Yao heard what Huang Tao said and his face became even more shocked. Although he knew that the iron rod with unknown properties was quite heavy, it shouldn't be so heavy that not even a mid-level Sword Saint like Huang Tao could lift it, right? That's just ridiculous.

  "Take me to see." Leng Xiao Yao is now most concerned about whether this iron rod is as strange as Huang Tao and others said.

  "But Young Master, what about your body?" Huang Tao asked with a concerned expression as he saw Leng Xiao Yao stand up and sway slightly.

  Leng Xiao Yao waved his hand, and during the dozens of breaths they had been chatting, Leng Xiao Yao once again felt the long-lost power filling his entire body. After he finished waving his hand, Leng Xiao Yao felt extremely invigorated, with his whole body filled with energy. The difference in strength between the first and second layers of the Copper Body was really huge. Leng Xiao Yao was now very confident, even if he were to encounter a high-level Great Swordsman right now, he could stand undefeated. Even if he encountered an initial-stage Sword Saint, he could still exchange several rounds.

  "Good." Huang Tao saw that his young master had returned to normal in an instant, and after a flash of surprise on his face, he hastily responded.

  Leng Xiao Yao was the first to walk out of the tent, took a breath of the air outside the tent, and felt a bloody smell hitting his nose. Leng Xiao Yao's heart actually got excited for a moment, this feeling made Leng Xiao Yao's heart secretly tremble with fear, could it be that he liked this life of killing?

  "I've seen young masters, I've seen generals, I've seen battalion commanders." Leng Xiao Yao walked along the way, and along the way, those small generals except for the battalion commander all saluted and asked about Leng Xiao Yao's group. However, Leng Xiao Yao discovered a strange phenomenon - in the eyes of those small generals looking at him, there was actually a hint of reverence. What's going on here?

  Huang Tao, walking side by side with Leng Xiao Yao, saw the look of puzzlement on his young master's face and smiled: "Young Master, are you wondering why they're so afraid of you?"

  Leng Xiao Yao smiled slightly and nodded, as if waiting for Huang Tao to unravel this confusion.

  Huang Tao's face revealed a hint of a smile, but his heart was shocked to the core. If it wasn't for him hearing his young master's angry roar and rushing over at that time, he wouldn't have witnessed the scene of his young master's divine arrival. Even now, Huang Tao thought to himself, his heart still couldn't calm down from the shock!

  "Are you a master with divine skills?" Huang Tao suddenly asked with a probing tone.

  "Ah!" Leng Xiao Yao heard Huang Tao's question, his walking body paused slightly, and then continued to walk in the direction of the battlefield three days ago. He thought to himself: "Could it be that after I broke through that day, there was something even more shocking? If so, then let's just thoroughly lie to the end."

  "So I thought of this and smiled, nodding my head in response: 'Was it my grandfather who told you?'"

  "No, no, it's not that the marshal told me, but on that day, the young master showed a divine sign, so I, as a subordinate, dared to think that the young master's master should be a god."

  Leng Xiao Yao saw the look of reverence on Huang Tao's face and couldn't help but feel interested in his own situation that day, so he asked with a curious expression: "Oh! Brother Huang, what divine phenomenon did I exhibit on my body that day?"

  Huang Tao was asked by his young master and showed a surprised expression on his face: "Does the young master not know?"

  Leng Xiao Yao rubbed her temples and smiled foolishly, "I was in a daze that day, so I really didn't know what was going on outside. Big Brother Huang, tell me."

  "Oh! So that's how it was!" Huang Tao's face showed a look of realization, and then he began to recount the miracle that had happened on Leng Xiang's body that day.

  "So that's how it is! Could this soul power also enhance others' cultivation?" Leng Xuan's mind fell into deep contemplation, and before he knew it, they had arrived at the place where Leng Xuan had broken through back then.

  "Huh?" Leng Xiao was stunned, Huang Tao and the others were also stunned, each with a look of surprise on their faces, because the scene in front of them had shocked them to the extreme.
