Chapter 103: Returning Home to Discuss Enlistment.
A week passed quickly, like a gurgling stream flowing silently through the riverbed of time.
Under the meticulous care of Elder Sun, through persistent day-by-day recuperation and gentle exercise, Liu Feng and his companions finally completely recovered from their injuries and were as healthy as before.
In the early morning, as the first rays of dawn pierced the thin clouds and poured unreservedly onto the open space of the wounded barracks, the entire world was bathed in a warm golden glow.
Liu Feng stood in the morning light, taking a deep breath of the fresh air. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of grass and earth, which instantly permeated his lungs and made him feel refreshed.
He stretched his muscles and suddenly felt a surge of strength within him. Every muscle and bone seemed to cheer, proclaiming the joy of a new life.
To test his physical condition, Liu Feng decided to perform the six-style boxing routine he was so proud of.
His feet planted firmly on the ground, like a pine tree rooted to the earth, his posture erect and resolute, his eyes gleaming with the sharpness and focus characteristic of a warrior.
With a deep, powerful shout, Liu Feng launched into a display of strength and skill.
"Bull's Spirit Rising to the Mountain," "Light as a Crane," "Galloping Horse," "Giant Python Entangled," "Animal's Hundred Transformations," Liu Feng unleashed one form after another.
The final form, "Exhalation Like Thunder," concluded with a deep breath, his abdomen slightly bulging as he gathered all his strength.
Then, he exhaled sharply, his body trembling slightly as a surge of immense power erupted from within him.
His breath, like rolling thunder, shook the surrounding air, vividly showcasing his immense physical prowess and profound spiritual power, as if it could distort the very space around him.
After completing these six boxing stances, beads of sweat formed on Liu Feng's forehead, his chest heaving violently, yet a smile of satisfaction and confidence shone on his face.
He felt deeply that not only had his body fully recovered, but after this period of training and refinement, his combat prowess had reached a new level.
After packing their bags, Liu Feng and his group, along with the remaining mercenaries and carriages, set out on their journey home.
Zhao Wuwei arrived early at the camp gate to
see them off.
He wore a crisp military uniform, his posture erect and imposing, a gracious smile on his face.
"Liu Feng, you're leaving now." Zhao Wuwei stepped forward and gently patted Liu Feng on the shoulder.
Then, with emotion, he said, "Thanks to your full support this time. Without you, these herbs would be in danger. On behalf of the entire camp, I express my heartfelt gratitude."
His voice was deep and magnetic, filled with sincere gratitude.
Liu Feng quickly responded modestly, "Captain Zhao, you're too polite. This is what we should do."
"Besides, we're already deeply honored by the Marquis's gift, and we're already very satisfied."
"If there's anything you need help with in the future, don't hesitate to ask,"
Zhao Wuwei said sincerely. "You're all capable people. If you run into any trouble, I'd be happy to lend a hand."
Zhang Niu, smiling, interjected, "Captain Zhao, don't worry. If we ever need help, we won't hold back."
Zhang Niu's voice was bright and enthusiastic, full of the mercenary's boldness.
After a few more pleasantries, everyone boarded the carriage.
Liu Feng sat in the carriage, waved goodbye to Zhao Wuwei, and shouted, "Captain Zhao, see you later!"
His voice was clear and resonant, echoing in the air for a long time, filled with youthful vigor and energy.
"See you later!" Zhao Wuwei waved back, his eyes following the slowly receding carriage until it disappeared over the horizon.
He stood there for a long time, not moving.
The group first returned to the Qingmu Pharmacy in Longxing Town.
Liu Feng gently pushed open the shop door, and the familiar aroma of medicine instantly filled his face. The unique scents of various herbs blended together, making the smell feel soothing.
Seeing them return, the shop assistants excitedly came to greet them.
"Boss, you're finally back!" One of the shop assistants said with joy, "Everything has been running smoothly in the shop these past few days. There have been no problems."
Liu Feng nodded, a sigh of relief filling his lips. "That's good. Thank you all for your hard work these past few days."
His voice was gentle and kind, filled with gratitude for his staff.
Liu Qing also smiled and said, "It seems you've kept the pharmacy in good order while we were away."
After a brief exchange of words in the store, they decided to return to Liujia Village together.
The entire journey was filled with a sense of relief, as if all fatigue and worries had been cast away.
The sun shone warmly on them, and a gentle breeze blew past, bringing a touch of coolness, mingled with the faint fragrance of flowers, intoxicating and relaxing.
By the time they returned to Liujia Village, darkness had already begun to fall.
After dinner, Liu Feng went out into the courtyard alone.
The moonlight, like water, quietly fell upon him, casting a thin, silvery veil over him.
The gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness and comfort, and the faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air, intoxicating and intoxicating.
Liu Feng sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, sipping his tea gently, his thoughts drifting back to his days in the military camp.
He knew the camp was a place full of opportunities and challenges, and his recent training progress had been somewhat disappointing, making it increasingly difficult to break through level 30.
"I've decided. It's time to join the military and become a doctor," Liu Feng suddenly said firmly, breaking the silence. His voice was remarkably clear in the quiet courtyard.
Liu Bai, Liu Qing, and Aunt Liu gathered around him.
Liu Qing, puzzled, asked with concern, "Have you thought it through? According to our previous plan, you'd join the army and
become a doctor."
"But are you really determined to go now?"
His eyes were filled with worry and concern, but he wasn't surprised by his son's decision.
Liu Feng put down the teacup and said seriously and solemnly: "Dad, my training speed has slowed down recently. I am worried that if I continue like this, it will be difficult to break through level 30."
"In the military camp, I can meet all kinds of people and have the opportunity to find suitable martial souls and soul skills, so as to analyze the soul skills of the next level."
"This will not only improve my physical fitness, but also further strengthen my physique."
"Moreover, only by joining the army can you get stable training, as well as meritorious service and rewards, and the hope of breaking through to the Soul Master will be greater."
His eyes revealed a firm determination, and he had already seen the picture of himself growing up in the military camp in his mind. Aunt Liu also asked with a worried look on her face: "But the living conditions in the military camp are difficult and full of dangers. Have you really thought it through?" Her voice was gentle and concerned, and her eyes were full of love and worry for Liu Feng.
Liu Feng nodded firmly and said, "I've thought about it. Captain Zhao and Marquis Song Yao, based on their previous understanding,
" They all give me a pretty good impression."
"Captain Zhao is warm and righteous, and Marquis Song Yao is also clear about rewards and punishments."
"I'm eager to make progress and cultivate to a higher level."
"At present, only by entering the third camp can we access higher-level resources and opportunities."
"Otherwise, with my current strength as a Level 27 Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, it would be extremely difficult to make another major breakthrough."
Everyone listened and fell into a brief silence.
Finally, Liu Qing sighed helplessly and said, "Since you've made up your mind, we won't stop you."
"Just be careful and take care of yourself."
His voice was filled with a hint of reluctance and concern, but more of it was understanding and support for his son.
"Yes, Liu Feng, you must pay attention to safety." Aunt Liu also reminded him, tears flashing in her eyes, full of concern and reluctance.
Liu Feng looked at everyone, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He said with emotion, "Thank you for your support. I will."
Then, everyone began to discuss how to contact Zhao Wuwei, asking him to recommend Liu Feng to the military camp and to look after him .
Liu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should just use the Six Forms of Xingyi as a stepping stone."
"The Six Forms of Xingyi are Xiaofeng's own creation. They're quite powerful and functional. Perhaps they'll catch Captain Zhao's attention."
Liu Feng nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea indeed."
Aunt Liu agreed, agreeing, "Then I'll have your father contact Captain Zhao and see what he thinks."
Liu Qing patted Liu Feng on the shoulder and said firmly, "Don't worry, Xiaofeng. I'll definitely see to it.
"
Under the bright moonlight, everyone continued to discuss the details enthusiastically, each offering suggestions for Liu Feng's future.
Liu Feng looked at his family and friends, his heart filled with warmth and gratitude. No matter what decision he made, everyone would support him wholeheartedly.
