The Capital's Dragon Doctor

He focused his mind, slowly guiding the Inner Strength within his body. It flowed strand by strand along a strange path, and with each increase in speed, his Inner Strength grew more powerful.

HUM!

Like a river striking a stone monument, a dull thud emanated from within Lin Feng's body. The sound was like a clap of thunder, booming through his mind.

A piercing pain shot through Lin Feng's ears. His body felt as if it were being torn asunder, and the intense agony almost made him scream.

'I can't believe this breakthrough is so painful!'

'Looks like this Supreme Profound Medical Scripture Cultivation Technique is no joke!'

Lin Feng's eyes were squeezed shut, and beads of sweat the size of peas dripped from his forehead. His entire body was convulsing violently.

But Lin Feng gritted his teeth and endured. He knew he had to withstand the pain, or else even if he succeeded in his breakthrough, he would be stuck at the Late Stage of Innate forever.

Time flew by. Lin Feng remained motionless where he sat, cold sweat trickling down his cheeks—a clear sign of the immense torment he was enduring.

HUM!

A faint, wondrous sound suddenly emanated from within Lin Feng's body. He shuddered, and his tightly closed eyes snapped open.

A sharp, cold light flashed in his eyes. At the same time, his aura grew piercingly sharp.

This was the difference between the Late Stage of Innate and the preceding realms. The sheer pressure of his post-breakthrough aura was enough to intimidate ordinary people!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng calmed the Inner Strength within his body. A satisfied smile touched his lips.

His recent efforts had finally paid off. He had successfully advanced to the Peak of Late Stage Innate, separated from the Grandmaster Realm by only a thin barrier. He just had to pierce that final layer to step into the Grandmaster Realm!

For Lin Feng, this progress was a dream come true.

A thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He extended his right hand, and a ball of pale yellow mist materialized at his fingertips. The mist looked gentle, and from within it came the faint sound of a dragon's roar, which inspired a sense of transcendence in anyone who heard it.

Now that he had reached the Peak of Late Stage Innate, he could just barely manage to project his Inner Strength to reinforce and defend his body.

He still couldn't compress his aura within a fixed area, but he was already much stronger than when he had first broken through to the Late Stage of Innate.

'I can already do this much while still in the Innate realm? The Supreme Profound Medical Scripture really lives up to its name!'

Lin Feng clenched his fist, and the pale yellow mist was instantly crushed in his palm before he reabsorbed it into his body.

Phew~

Letting out a long breath, his eyes shone with deep excitement. He knew his strength was now on par with those Ancient Martial Artists who were considered true experts!

He raised his hand and struck the adjacent wall. Instantly, a Palm Seal appeared. The imprint was bluish-black and about two inches deep.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lin Feng looked at the mark he had left and nodded in satisfaction.

"Who's there?!"

But just as he pulled his hand back, he suddenly twisted and dropped to the ground, narrowly dodging an eight-foot-long arrow!

'In this day and age, someone's still using such old-fashioned tricks?'

Frowning slightly, Lin Feng stared at the iron arrow, its fletching still quivering from the immense force of its impact. A hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

SWISH!

Lin Feng stomped his foot, launching himself into the air. He shot through the hotel window, landed on the roof, and with a light tap of his toes, took off again, pursuing the attacker.

Lin Feng's figure darted rapidly through the woods. This was an ultimate Body Technique he could only perform after reaching the Peak of Late Stage Innate: the Wind-Chasing Step!

The Wind-Chasing Step was renowned for its speed, but his previous physical conditioning and cultivation level had been insufficient, so he had never been able to use it until now.

WHOOSH!

A black afterimage streaked through the forest as Lin Feng's figure moved through the dense woods like a phantom.

BANG!

A thick tree trunk was violently smashed to pieces. Only then did Lin Feng slowly straighten his posture.

"I don't believe we've met. Since you ambushed me with an arrow, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Lin Feng asked in a low voice, his gaze fixed on the man with a longbow on his back who now stood before him.

The man before him looked to be around twenty, handsome and dashing with sharp brows and bright eyes. But right now, his face was filled with murderous intent. His eyes were icy cold as he stared at Lin Feng, sizing him up as killing intent surged from his gaze.

"You are Lin Feng?"

The man demanded, his voice laced with ice.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He was certain he had never seen this person before. But since the man knew who he was, there was no need for him to hide his identity.

"I am," Lin Feng replied coldly. He had no favorable impression of this man; the hostility was palpable, so he had to be on guard.

"You've got guts, kid!"

Hearing Lin Feng's confirmation, the man roared, a sinister glint in his eyes. "You dare lay a hand on one of the Young Master's people? You must have a death wish!"

The moment the words left his mouth, he drew his bow and rapidly fired three iron arrows at Lin Feng!

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...

All three arrows were imbued with biting Gang Qi and a piercing glint. They shot toward Lin Feng's face and abdomen in an instant, a completely unrestrained attack.

Lin Feng's eyebrow twitched. 'This guy attacks at the drop of a hat. How arrogant.'

"Courting death!"

A furious roar erupted from Lin Feng's lips. His clothes billowed as if in a gale, and immense Inner Strength surged from his body.

BANG!

The three arrows slammed into an invisible barrier in front of Lin Feng, stopped dead by the wave of energy radiating from his body!

Not only that, but the Inner Strength then shattered all three iron arrows. Such a miraculous display made the archer's pupils contract sharply.

"How is this possible?"

he exclaimed in horror. 'How can this boy, who doesn't even look that strong, possess such terrifying combat strength? No wonder the Young Master sent me personally just to take his life!'

"You people are truly vicious."

Having blocked the attack, Lin Feng stared coldly at his opponent. The man's attitude made it clear he was here to kill, and to show no mercy.

It seemed they had planned this all along. They were here today for one reason: to take his life.
