My Brother's the Protagonist? Good Thing I Awakened My System!

Chapter 59: Back To Misty Vale City



Feng Chen wiped his blade clean with a casual flick, his expression calmed as if the battle had never occurred.

For current Feng Chen, Rank 4 monsters and below weren't any different from ants that he could kill at his will.

Kong Wei and his group stood frozen in shock, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten as they stared at Feng Chen in awe.

(Good thing I was previously polite with the senior, otherwise...)

Kong Wei secretly praises his past self for not acting arrogantly in front of Feng Chen and for helping him out.

Indeed, being humble can save you from death.

Otherwise, he couldn't imagine his fate had he antagonized Feng Chen at the tavern.

"Many thanks for saving my life, senior!"

Kong Wei said, clasping his hands in respect.

Although Feng Chen looked younger than himself, Kong Wei assumed that Feng Chen had used certain techniques to maintain his youthful appearance.

Otherwise, there was simply no other way to explain the immense power wielded by someone so young.

"Kong Wei, you should have been more careful. How can you get yourself in such danger?"

Feng Chen remarked his tone was light but carried a hint of reprimand.

Feng Chen didn't know how someone as experienced as Kong Wei would find himself in such danger.

Kong Wei gave a sheepish nod, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"You're right, senior. We were ambushed... I didn't expect a Rank 4 monster to appear so suddenly."

Kong Wei replied with a hint of embarrassment, knowing that Feng Chen's words were true. Normally, he wouldn't find himself in such a dangerous situation.

Today was different, however. The ambush by a Rank-4 monster was unusual enough, but what made it worse was the fact that the monsters in Stormhowl Valley seemed unnaturally agitated.

Under normal circumstances, with his experience, Kong Wei would have known when to retreat before his team became exhausted.

However, due to the unusually high number of monsters they encountered, he and his team were unfortunately exhausted fighting with them.

Furthermore, even though he retreated because of the changed situation, he was unfortunate enough to be ambushed by a group of monsters led by a Rank-4 beast.

What Kong Wei didn't know was that the root cause of this was Feng Chen himself.

Feng Chen had been terrifying the powerful monsters, driving them out of their usual territories and unintentionally disrupting the balance of Stormhowl Valley.

Had Feng Chen not been scaring off those beasts, Kong Wei and his team likely wouldn't have faced such peril.

Bao Mei and Xuan Chen approached, their faces pale but grateful.

"Thank you for saving us,"

Bao Mei said, her voice shaky.

"We wouldn't have made it without you."

Feng Chen waved off her thanks.

"It's safe from here. I will be going then!"

Feng Chen said as he disappeared.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He had checked the surrounding area for any hiding monsters but found none.

So, he knew that Kong Wei and his team wouldn't get themselves killed.

With that, he quickly left and soon enough reached the Thundercrest Outpost.

He looked at the Stormhowl Valley for the last time before heading towards Misty Vale City.

********

Back at the Feng Clan, Elder Wei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Feng Chen return unharmed.

Elder Wei had been anxiously awaiting his return, knowing the risks involved in Feng Chen's expedition into Stormhowl Valley.

He then proceeded to update Feng Chen on the developments that had occurred in the Feng Clan during his absence.

With their current reputation, Feng Clan business has been flourishing, and can safely say that they were on the verge of becoming a first-class clan in Azure Sky Empire.

The Feng Clan also now boasts two alchemists who have advanced to Second Grade, further strengthening their dominance in the pill market.

Under Feng Yun's guidance and with his new recipes, the clan's alchemists have found renewed hope and potential.

The enhanced skills and innovative formulas have led to a surge in the quality and variety of their pills, setting them apart from their competitors.

This significant improvement not only boosts their standing in the market but also fortifies their position as the leading alchemical force in the region.

With these advancements, the Feng Clan is poised to further solidify its influence and expand its reach, both locally in Misty Vale City as well as in the Eastern Region.

The Cultivation of Feng Clan was also progressing well with many clan members having broken through including Feng Yun and others.

Elder Wei's eyes shone with pride as he detailed the Feng Clan's recent successes to Feng Chen. The clan's progress had been nothing short of remarkable.

"The Feng Clan is thriving, Chen'er," Elder Wei said, his tone a mix of relief and enthusiasm.

"With Feng Yun breaking through to the Core Formation Stage, I am sure that our ranking in Eastern Gathering will be very high!"

Feng Chen listened intently, nodding in approval.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Elder Wei shook his head modestly.

"No, no. It's all thanks to you, Nephew. Your leadership and support have made all this

possible."

"Haha! I just did what I could!"

Feng Chen replied with a modest smile.

"Elder Wei, I'll need you to look after the clan affair for a while longer. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough and will need to go into seclusion."

"Break though?"

"Good! Nephew, you can leave these things to me and focus on your breakthrough."

Elder Wei was elated by the news and thought that Feng Chen would try to advance to the

Early Stage of the Three Elements Divine Realm.

In reality, Feng Chen was going to attempt to break through to the Early Stage of the Nascent

Soul Realm.

The higher one's cultivation, the longer it typically takes to break through to the next realm.

Yet, looking at Feng Chen, no one would have guessed that he was about to advance to the Early Stage of Nascent Soul Realm in less than a year.

That would be considered quick even for those in the Grand Qi Condensation Realm.

In any case, Elder Wei was pleased with the news and didn't mind taking on the extra

responsibility for Feng Chen and Feng Clan's sake.

He hoped that Feng Chen could achieve his breakthrough before the Eastern Gathering, as it would significantly boost their clan's ranking.
