When Feng Fan broke through, his connection to the Heaven Suppression Relic deepened, and four new techniques surfaced in his mind.
A wide grin spread across his face. "Finally!"
Without hesitation, he summoned the Suppression Relic from his spatial ring and channeled his spiritual qi into it, following the steps of one of the newfound techniques.
The brick began to grow, expanding several times its original size.
Feng Fan tossed the brick forward, continuing to channel his spiritual qi into it. The brick expanded steadily until it was large enough to accommodate eight grown men standing shoulder to shoulder.
Much like the way Huang Xue and Qiang Xue wielded their weapons, the Suppression Relic hovered effortlessly in mid-air.
Leaping onto the massive brick, Feng Fan steadied himself. With a surge of qi, the brick lifted off, carrying him into the skies.
The wind tousled his hair as his face lit up with an unmistakable smugness.
"Forget sword-flight techniques," he thought with glee. "I've got the Brick Flying Technique. All hail the Brick Sect!"
Feng Fan chuckled to himself.
'Mortals, watch in awe as I, along with my brick, conquer the skies!' he thought, flying in circles around the arena, testing his new flight abilities.
The only reason he hadn't returned to his quarters yet was that he still needed to collect his prize from the previous bet.
The crowd watched, wearing bemused smiles.
"I've seen many people use different weapons to fly after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, but a brick... this is a first."
"Yeah, this guy is definitely... unique."
After flying for a few minutes, Feng Fan decided he'd shown off enough. He stopped in front of the betting stall near the arena where he had fought, then jumped off his brick.
"Hey there," he said with a smile. "I came to collect my prize."
The clerk smiled back and handed him a sack filled with middle-grade qi stones. "Here you go."
"Thanks, it was a pleasure doing business with you."
With that, Feng Fan hopped back onto his brick and soared into the sky once again.
And so, a new legend was born on the Fifth Peak: a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator who soared through the skies with… a brick.
Feng Fan arrived at his quarters and began studying his new techniques. While he could already use the weapon enlargement and flight techniques, he knew they still needed practice to improve his execution speed.
However, what truly caught his attention were the other two techniques.
'Finally, techniques that don't make me look weird!' he thought, a smile spreading across his face.
"It's Payback Time."
"Sealing Palm."
He muttered the names of the techniques.
"They sound a little odd, not very domineering, but they should do the job."
Feng Fan felt slightly disappointed by the names of his techniques, especially compared to those of his opponents and the techniques in the White Crow Sect library, which had very domineering names.
"Why can't I have attacking techniques like the Heavenly Dragon Punch, Divine Bull Kick, Thor's Might Hammer, or something like that? I'd even shout them out with pride!"
He shook his head and refocused on the techniques. Over the next few days, he decided to dedicate himself to mastering It's Payback Time and Sealing Palm.
After all, he couldn't rely solely on targeting his enemies' butts and kicking their groins during the young generation competition, could he?
Two weeks flew by in the blink of an eye. Not only had Feng Fan consolidated his realm, but he also felt ready to test his new techniques in real combat!
He had significantly improved his proficiency with weapon enlargement and flight, performing them much faster than when he first used them at the Fifth Peak.
'Should I head back to the Fifth Peak and find a punching bag?' he thought.
But then, a critical realization hit him.
"Damn it! I told Qinqin I'd treat her to a meal after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm. It's a good thing I mentioned it would be in two weeks, I've still got time. I'd better go before she comes after me."
Feng Fan headed straight to the Seventh Peak to sell everything he didn't need, exchanging it for low-grade and middle-grade qi stones.
In his rush, he realized he was selling most of the items below market value, but he didn't mind. After all, there were no production costs involved—everything he sold had been gifts from his friends.
After clearing his space ring of useless items, Feng Fan made his way to Xue Qiang's quarters.
Now that he could fly, traveling within the sect felt far more enjoyable.
Feng Fan stopped in front of Xue Qiang's room and knocked. "Qinqin, it's me."
The door opened moments later, revealing Xue Qiang with a bright smile. "Fanfan, come in."
He stepped inside as she continued, her tone shy. "Have you come for our date?"
Feng Fan nodded. "Yeah. Shall we go?"
Xue Qiang shook her head quickly. "Wait for me to get ready. Please, sit on the couch."
Before he could respond, she dashed to the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
With a sigh, Feng Fan sat on the couch, already resigned to the wait. He closed his eyes and began cultivating. 'Does she even have other clothes? I only have the ones issued by the sect.'
Minutes passed without Feng Fan noticing, and nearly two hours later, Xue Qiang finally emerged from the bathroom.
As he opened his eyes, a delicate floral scent filled the air.
His gaze landed on her, and he was momentarily stunned. Her hair was styled in an elegant Dutch braid, and she wore a mesmerizing long black dress with a daring slit that revealed her right thigh.
She wore striking red high heels that perfectly complemented her outfit.
"How do I look?" Xue Qiang asked, giving him a playful smile as she slowly turned around.
The dress was backless, exposing her smooth skin, and the fabric hugged her big curves perfectly, accentuating her figure.
Feng Fan stared, utterly captivated, his jaw nearly dropping.
"Too beautiful!" he blurted out, his voice filled with genuine admiration.
If he had initially agreed to this date just to placate her, now he was truly looking forward to it.
