Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law
Chapter 57 Achievement of the Martial King, the Respect of Ten Thousand!

Ye Feng returned to the Inner Courtyard and had earlier visited Old Master Hong.

Hong Zhenguo was out of bed; although still very weak, he could barely sit up.

"Mr.Ye, my health is not well, so I can't pay you my respects!"

Hong Zhenguo leaned forward with a smile and added, "I have heard about the events that have taken place these past few days."

Ye Feng didn't pick up the conversation, instead, he asked, "How is your health?"

"Much better now."

Hong Zhenguo nodded and continued, "Thank you for everything that has happened during this period. As for Hong Yuting and the others, I hope Mr.Ye won't take offense."

Ye Feng rarely smiled and said, "If I took them seriously, I'm afraid they wouldn't know how many times they'd died by now."

Hong Zhenguo could only offer a bitter smile in response.

Just as the man before him had said, what status did he have, the Sovereign of the Northern Border, the youngest and most promising king among the four realms and eight wastes of the country. Such breadth of spirit and magnanimity naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of ants.

"Mr. Ye, you have mostly recovered by now. Jiangdu is after all too small, it cannot contain a True Dragon. When do you plan to start your journey back to the capital?" Hong Zhenguo asked.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and did not hide his intentions, "I won't return to the capital for now. I'll first make a trip to Jiangnan Provincial City; there are still some matters that need resolving."

Hong Zhenguo nodded and did not inquire about the specifics, as it was not within his place to ask.

"When does Mr.Ye plan to set off?"

"Tomorrow!" said Ye Feng.

"If you're leaving tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off, Mr.Ye. If you don't mind, allow Qingyan to accompany you. After all, the two of you are acquainted, and with her looking after your diet and daily life, it will be more convenient."

Ye Feng turned his head, glanced at Hong Qingyan who was standing to the side with hopeful eyes, and nodded, "Alright, I'll take her with me!"

Hong Qingyan's big eyes twirled, she wanted to say something but in the end, kept silent. Of course, she knew that Ye Feng's willingness to take her with him spoke a volume by itself.

"Take good care of yourself, and when you get to the capital or the Northern Border, I'll buy you a drink!" After saying this, Ye Feng left.

Watching the young man's retreating back as he sat in the wheelchair, Hong Zhenguo was filled with mixed emotions. To be invited for a drink by him was an honor indeed. If this news reached the capital or the Northern Border, it would surely cause quite a stir, and the status of the Hong Family would also rise with the tide.

"What a pity... there is not one among the younger generation of the Hong Family who has come of age, all are just dregs that can't be depended on. If only there was one of the Hong Family's younger generation following him, then my life would be without regrets!" Hong Zhenguo shook his head and sighed deeply.

Without another word that night, the next day at dawn, Ye Feng suddenly felt an epiphany and sat up abruptly in bed.

Looking outside the window, it was just barely light, as if the first rays of the morning were only just beginning to spread.

"This feeling..."

Without hesitation, Ye Feng immediately sat cross-legged in the Seal Formation, entering a pattern of regulated and rhythmic breathing. Soon, a dense white mist formed above his head.

Since the Realm of Nine Return to One, the original colorful Qi Force of Five Qi Returning to Origin had faded, reverting to a single color, an evident return to simplicity. At a glance, it seemed no different from the initial breakthrough to Master of Inner Force.

However, in reality, a Grandmaster who had achieved Nine Return to One was worlds apart from a newly advanced Master. Indeed, after the state of Five Qi Returning to Origin, a Grandmaster of Inner Force could also be called Huajin.

Such a Huajin Grandmaster signified that one's mastery over their Inner Strength had reached a point of sublime perfection.

Seventeen's current realm is only at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, not yet a Huajin Grandmaster. Meanwhile, Long Zaitian, the Leader of the Jiangdu Martial Alliance, is already a Huajin Grandmaster who has reached Five Qi Toward the Origin.

As for Ye Feng…

He was still cultivating. The white mist above his head surged continuously, and soon an incredible scene occurred as the white mist suddenly gathered downward, converging toward his eyes.

Within Ye Feng's body, his inner strength that was like a raging torrent had also started to rush wildly toward the position of his eyes.

At this moment, if a Martial King were present, they would certainly know that this was Open Aperture! After Nine Return to One, the next step for a Huajin Grandmaster is to Open Aperture, to break through the body's acupoints.

Once the acupoints are open, one's hearing and vision will sharpen, and the body becomes lighter and more agile. At the same time, the capacity to store inner strength will also become much deeper, providing many unexpected benefits.

This realm, deemed as Martial King by the Martial Alliance, is the true sovereign!

Before Ye Feng was wounded, even though he was the youngest and most potential sovereign in the nation, he had been stuck at the Nine Return to One realm for more than two years without a breakthrough, definitive in the eyes of those old monsters in the nation.

Before the age of thirty, it was definite that Ye Feng could not become a Martial King, because he was too young, needing at least until the age of thirty-five to accumulate experience!

However, even if he became a Martial King at thirty-five, he would still be the youngest and most potential sovereign in the nation!

Indeed, it was precisely because of this that some people in the nation, seeing his tremendous potential and supreme authority within the Four Realms, began to harbor unusual thoughts.

Ye Feng was in a peaceful state of mind, as he hadn't expected to break through so soon, having been stuck at this barrier for over two years already.

However, it was precisely because of this tranquil and calm state of mind that suddenly there was a cracking sound within him, as if something had been broken through and opened up.

Then, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of golden light shot out from his vision.

"Eyes flashing with golden light, Eye Acupoint open, all of Heaven and Earth can be observed!" Ye Feng suddenly had an epiphany.

In that moment, his aura began to surge, strengthening more than fivefold, and the Qi Force inside his body became even more robust and powerful.

"The Realm of the Martial King, this is the Realm of the Martial King. No wonder those old monsters in the nation said that below the Martial King, all are as ants, it really is so!" Ye Feng was filled with excitement.

"Who would have thought that the bottleneck which held me back for two years would break through so inexplicably today? Is this the legendary concept where things must be broken down before they can stand anew? The fact that all my bones were broken earlier seemed to have prepared me for this?"

Ye Feng slightly raised the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, feeling that this was probably the fortune that follows great disaster.

"Now that I've achieved the Martial King realm, my return to the capital or the Northern Border is even more certain. Once the matters in the Jiangnan Province are settled, I'll make a strong comeback!"

Ye Feng clenched his fist slightly, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He immediately heard distant rustling footsteps.

After opening the Eye Acupoint, not only was his vision strength remarkable, but his hearing had also greatly improved. Of course, Ye Feng also recognized that these were the limping steps of Hong Qingyan.

Hong Qingyan knocked and entered, then started to help Ye Feng wash up, before the two of them headed to the outer courtyard for breakfast.

The breakfast was lavish, specially prepared by Zhang Yuman. Ye Feng didn't say anything, just buried his head and began to eat heartily. After achieving the Martial King realm, his appetite had greatly increased, and he chose to directly ignore the occasional furtive glances and expressions that Hong Yuting sent him in secret.

Just then, a guard suddenly walked in to announce that Mr. Luo Keque from the Divine Doctor Sect had come with an urgent matter to discuss.

"Luo Keque? Let him in!" Ye Feng said.
