Chapter 23: Meeting with Chairman Yu

Half an hour ago, a group of law enforcement officers wearing the Warrior Guild uniforms rushed into the building and took Yang Feng to the Warrior Enforcement Team’s consultation room.

It was only then that Yang Feng had to face the reality.

He had indeed mistaken the person. He had already figured out the whole sequence of events, which made him mutter to himself—how boring these high school students in Zhengfu City were. Why couldn’t they just fight properly in the arena instead of making things so complicated?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the mistake. Fortunately, he had been careful enough not to kill or seriously injure anyone. He hoped this would settle things peacefully.

Since the incident had already happened, the important thing was to resolve the problem. Sitting around regretting wasn’t his style.

“Yang Feng, you can come out now. Someone wants to see you!”

Puzzled, Yang Feng followed the staff member into an office.

The moment the door opened, he saw a rather handsome middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the office.

This strikingly handsome middle-aged man was none other than Yu Tong, the president of the Song City Warrior Guild.

Seeing Yang Feng enter, Yu Tong stood up from his chair and greeted warmly, “You must be Yang Feng. I am Yu Tong, president of the Song City Warrior Guild.”

Yang Feng was instantly surprised, unsure why the Song City Guild president was here, but still introduced himself politely, “Hello, President Yu, I am Yang Feng.”

“Don’t stand there, come sit!” The president’s personal invitation left no room for refusal, and Yang Feng sat confidently across from him.

A flicker of surprise passed through Yu Tong’s eyes. Besides his initial shock, the young man before him showed no other emotions.

There was no humility despite the obvious difference in status. This kind of confidence made him admire Yang Feng even more.

“You’re doing well in Song City. Why come all the way to Zhengfu City?”

Breaking the silence, Yu Tong asked first.

“President, I’m here for a study tour,” Yang Feng replied.

Such a reason was common—many prospective university students would choose to study abroad or tour before entering their ideal universities.

However, it was still quite rare to begin a study tour before the college entrance examination.

Yu Tong didn’t press further. Geniuses always had strange ideas, and as long as they didn’t harm society, he was tolerant.

“I’ve already understood the details of the incident. You did well—standing up against injustice and helping others is what a warrior should do!

You were just a bit impulsive. If you had explained earlier, there wouldn’t have been any further trouble. But don’t worry about that; I’ll take care of the medical expenses. The guild will cover them.”

A wave of relief washed over Yang Feng as he sincerely said, “Thank you, President.”

He accepted the favor gratefully, knowing that while he probably wouldn’t face any serious trouble, any impact on his special admission could cause problems.

“Hmm, these are minor issues. But I couldn’t find your information in the Song City warrior files. Why is that?”

Yu Tong asked the question he was most concerned about.

Joking aside, it was absolutely unacceptable for such a warrior prodigy to be unknown in his own guild. If so, it would be a failure on his part as president.

“President, I just recently broke through to Warrior level, but the warrior assessment is on the fifteenth, so I haven’t had time to apply yet.”

Yu Tong silently put down his teacup, thinking he must have misheard. “You said you just broke through?”

“Yes, just a few days ago,” Yang Feng replied.

Yu Tong’s expression grew complicated as he looked at Yang Feng. He did not doubt his words. With his position, he could easily verify such things. A new breakthrough warrior capable of defeating ten peers consecutively was a beast!

He had often been called a prodigy in his day, but compared to Yang Feng, he was far behind—a true wave crushing the old sand.

But then he thought, wait a moment.

This was his own Song City genius, a feather in his cap. The ones who should worry were Wu Jun and the others!

With this thought, his mood brightened, and his fondness for Yang Feng deepened.

“I see. Then it’s not your fault. You’ll return to Song City for the warrior assessment on the fifteenth of this month, right?”

“Yes, President,” Yang Feng answered.

“Good. Here’s my phone number—contact me when you return to Song City.

Remember, you must come back to apply for the warrior assessment. I want to witness the birth of a prodigy with my own eyes!”

“Understood, President!”

Seeing Yang Feng’s agreement, Yu Tong smiled again.

“Excellent. Here’s my number. You can continue your study tour now. If you encounter any problems you can’t solve, feel free to reach out to me anytime!” Yu Tong said with a smile.

“Thank you, President!” Yang Feng’s gratitude was genuine because he could feel how much Yu Tong valued him.

Watching Yang Feng leave, Yu Tong sincerely marveled. He truly was a genius. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a treasure while on a business trip to Song City. This year’s special admission would definitely yield excellent results!

At last, he could hold his head high at the presidents’ meeting!

He couldn’t help but grin broadly at the thought.

As for how he knew Yang Feng would participate in the special admission?

Obviously, a genius like him wouldn’t waste time in the regular college entrance exams bullying ordinary people. He’d be out there challenging the monsters.

So Yu Tong was certain it was a done deal and saw no need to ask further.

...

Stepping out of the office and hearing laughter behind him, Yang Feng felt a bit puzzled but didn’t take it too seriously. It was normal for important people to have quirks.

He hadn’t expected so many twists just to pick up a task in Zhengfu City. But he always tried to look on the bright side.

For example, no matter what, he had still arrived at the Zhengfu City Warrior Guild—complete with a chauffeured ride—saving him a taxi fare!

The thought made him laugh as he turned right out the door.

He arrived directly at the Zhengfu City Warrior Guild.

He had thought the Song City Guild was already luxurious until he saw the Zhengfu City Guild and finally understood the meaning of “there’s always a mountain higher than the last.”

The floor of the Zhengfu City Guild’s main hall was entirely made of tempered electronic screen panels.

As soon as someone entered the hall, arrows would appear beneath their feet to guide them.

With the help of the arrow indicators, Yang Feng quickly found the task terminal.

He had to admit, the Zhengfu City Warrior Hall was livelier than Song City’s, which also indirectly showed that Zhengfu City had more warriors.

But these things didn’t concern him. Opening the local tasks and relying on his prior experience at the Song City guild, Yang Feng quickly located the task to repair first-level breathing techniques.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, he clicked to expand the task.

His eyes scanned the list—ten tasks!

Zhengfu City had no less than ten repair tasks for first-level breathing techniques.

That was five more than Song City’s guild.

A quick glance revealed that among the ten tasks, one was for a first-level (beginner) breathing technique.

In this world, breathing techniques were also graded. The biggest difference between levels was the cultivation speed for warriors.

If the speed of a beginner breathing technique was 1, then an intermediate would be 1.5, and an advanced breathing technique could reach twice the speed, or 2!

But forget advanced breathing techniques; even ordinary people found it hard to obtain intermediate ones.

Advanced breathing techniques were only held by the Warrior Guild, the Federation government, and certain clans.

Every advanced breathing technique was precious; even damaged copies would never appear on the guild’s task board.

Honestly, just finding one first-level intermediate breathing technique was already surprising to Yang Feng.

Curious, he opened the copy of the Blazing Fire Breathing Technique.

Just a few glances made him understand why it was listed here—it was too damaged. Not only ordinary people, even most cultivation masters couldn’t repair it properly.

Of course, this didn’t include Yang Feng. He didn’t rely on strength but on his cheat-like abilities.

Thinking to himself, “No worries if others look down on you, brother’s got your back. As long as it’s a breathing technique, no matter the level, I’ll love it!”

Suppressing his excitement, Yang Feng quickly memorized the Blazing Fire Breathing Technique.

Then he took out his phone and began downloading.

After ten minutes at the terminal, he had downloaded all ten damaged breathing techniques.

Having completed this, Yang Feng felt like he was walking on air!

The earlier little incident was nothing compared to the joy of obtaining ten breathing techniques.

He couldn’t wait and immediately booked a room at a hotel next to the Song City Warrior Guild.

Once inside, he activated his ability and swiftly entered a deep sleep.
