My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

Thus, no one left, and everyone waited in silence.

The disciples of the Chu Family were also staring intently, afraid these people would try to stir up trouble.

At this point, Chu Feng didn't even want to stand here anymore. He just wanted to go home and sleep. This was all so boring.

However, he understood Chu Tianshan's intention. He wanted to seize this opportunity to eradicate all threats to the Chu Family.

After all, these people would come looking for trouble for the Chu Family sooner or later. Rather than constantly being harassed down the line, it was better to deal with them all right now.

The main issue was that his current Cultivation had been forcibly raised and could only be maintained for a little over a day.

"Are we just going to stand here and have a staring contest?" Chu Feng nudged Chu Tianshan with his foot and muttered under his breath.

'This old guy… no matter where he goes, he has to drag me along. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was his bodyguard.'

In reality, Chu Tianshan was just worried that someone would target his precious Chu Feng.

"Getting antsy already? But you know, I'm suddenly getting the feeling you're hiding some secrets. How come I can't seem to gauge your strength?" Chu Tianshan also muttered in a low voice.

At first, he hadn't paid it much mind, figuring Chu Feng's realm was probably somewhere in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment—at most, just barely into the late stage.

But now that he took a moment to sense it, he discovered he couldn't see through his strength at all!

That's why Chu Tianshan was so shocked. 'This Chu Feng is far stronger than I ever imagined.'

Although he hadn't truly reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, he was now infinitely close to it, so his Perception was also much stronger than before.

Chu Feng was speechless when he heard this. 'Is this old coot's brain that slow? I've been standing next to him for hours, and he's only just noticed?'

'Just as I thought. A realm boosted by external force is ultimately no match for one gained through one's own hard Cultivation.'

"Old man, this isn't going to cut it. This power you've boosted with external force is shoddy. Don't tell me you pulled the same stunt decades ago?" Chu Feng asked.

'A method like this is bound to have massive side effects. His Divine Soul injury back then was most likely related to this very boosting technique.'

"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Chu Tianshan sent to Chu Feng via voice transmission.

Voice transmission was a skill that could be performed on the path of the Martial Dao once one's strength reached a certain realm.

"What? Still playing dumb? It's obvious at a glance that you've used some special method to temporarily boost your realm. Your own Cultivation is at the Peak of Foundation Establishment at most, but you've forcibly raised it to the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. How about you teach me that method?" Chu Feng replied via voice transmission.

At that, Chu Tianshan stared at Chu Feng in utter astonishment. This technique was the Chu Family's most guarded secret. Not even Chu Wuji, an Elder of the Chu Family, knew of it. Only the successive Patriarchs were privy to it.

"How could you possibly know?" Chu Tianshan asked.

"Wasn't it obvious? But let me tell you, while an ordinary person might not be able to tell, anyone at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm can spot it a mile away. A temporary boost like yours is completely different from a genuine breakthrough."

"For one, your aura is unstable. And compared to a true expert at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, you're significantly weaker. You only have the imposing presence, that's all. To put it bluntly, you're just a fake Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. Any other expert at that level could definitely see it too," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"How can that be? Then how do you know all this? Don't tell me... you've also reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm? No, that's impossible. It can't be," Chu Tianshan said in astonishment.

Chu Feng was exasperated. "And why is that impossible? I'm telling you right now, I *have* reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. So what about it?"

"Really?" Chu Tianshan asked, looking at Chu Feng with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Of course. Do I have any reason to lie to you? In your current state, you're kind of useless, in my opinion. You're stronger than those weaker than you, but no match for those stronger. You couldn't defeat a true expert at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. Still, this boosting technique of yours... I admit I'm curious," Chu Feng said with a smile.

'This Cultivation Technique is pretty good, even if it has its flaws.'

'The ability to raise one's realm by an entire stage... the allure is just too strong.'

'For example, Chu Feng was currently in the Mid-Stage Core Formation Realm. If he used this boosting method, he could easily reach the Late-stage Core Formation, or even the Peak of Core Formation.'

"Kid, you... you're absolutely incredible! This is fantastic news! Truly fantastic!" Chu Tianshan began to laugh with excitement, continuing to speak to Chu Feng via voice transmission.

Nearly everyone present, including all the disciples of the Chu Family, turned to look at Chu Tianshan.

They didn't understand why Chu Tianshan was laughing. Had he gone mad?

In fact, they all knew there was a reason people called Chu Tianshan a madman; they just didn't dare say it out loud or bring it up.

Chu Wuji, for his part, was also at a loss for words regarding Chu Tianshan. 'That madman has already used the boosting technique twice.'

'The first time, he nearly kicked the bucket. He was lucky to have survived. I can't believe he dared to use it a second time.'

So, as he looked at Chu Tianshan, he was both highly suspicious and deeply worried that something had gone terribly wrong with the old man.
