C17 I Have Obtained Another Skill
He was a disciple of the Green Mountain Sect, with his cultivation having reached the Fifth Layer of the Martial Artist Stage. Yet, there stood Chen Feng, merely at the First Layer of the Martial Artist Stage, and he had the audacity to scorn him—a person the likes of which he'd never encountered in the entire Green Mountain Sect!
Despite this, Chai Le felt a fire raging in his chest, anger blazing from his eyes. How could he stand for such insolence?
With an icy glare, Chai Le snapped at Chen Feng, "You foolish cur! You're oblivious to the line between life and death. Do you really think you have the gall to be insolent before me?"
"Let me make this clear: the power I used just now was merely what I reserve for dealing with the common rabble. And you, in my eyes, are nothing but a slightly stronger member of that rabble!"
Chai Le's message was clear: he was far superior to Chen Feng, who was no more significant than an ant to him. He could crush Chen Feng with a mere pinch of his fingers!
His sneer was relentless as his aura surged, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Chai Le had bolstered his formidable presence to underscore his words, eager to witness the fear he expected to bloom on Chen Feng's face.
But Chen Feng's reaction was a letdown. Not a hint of fear crossed his face; instead, he wore an air of utter nonchalance, as if Chai Le posed no threat whatsoever.
In Chen Feng's eyes, Chai Le elicited nothing but deep scorn and mockery—no fear to be found.
"What in the world makes a nobody like you so brazen before me?!" Chai Le roared, his fury igniting. His fist, now ablaze with intense flames, hurtled towards Chen Feng like a fiery missile.
The villagers gasped at the sight of the flames dancing on Chai Le's arm. They were mere mortals; the idea that a man could be wreathed in fire without harm was beyond their comprehension—it was surely an Immortal Technique!
"Chai Le must be an immortal!" they exclaimed, their eyes wide with terror. The Village Chief gasped for air, overcome by the sight.
Amidst the commotion, Wu Mei alone watched Chen Feng's retreating figure through her veiled eyes, her thoughts a mystery to all.
Suddenly, Wu Mei spoke in a soft whisper, "You've got this!"
Her voice was enchanting, enveloping one in a sensation akin to basking in a hot spring.
Upon hearing this, Chai Le realized that such a delightful voice existed in this quaint village. He had noticed Wu Mei before, his gaze often drifting towards her involuntarily. Her elegant figure stirred something within him. Although the two Junior Sisters behind him weren't unattractive, they paled in comparison to the woman before him.
With this thought, a sneer curled at the corner of Chai Le's mouth.
"Senior Brother! This lady is quite something. How about you all have some fun with her later?"
"Yes, Junior Sisters, what do you say we all have some fun together later?"
"Disgusting!"
"Exactly! Don't think we're unaware that after you've had your fun with that vixen, you'd still pay us any attention."
The Junior Brother and Junior Sisters behind Chai Le were already lost in their fantasies, and Chai Le's lewd laughter grew. He sneered at Chen Feng, "After I kill you, we'll make sure she enjoys herself thoroughly!"
"What foul talk," Chen Feng's expression grew stern as he retorted, "We'll see if you even get the chance!"
Chen Feng was filled with a murderous intent. These people were utterly despicable. Their Sect was clearly not one of integrity. Today, he resolved to eliminate them all, ridding the people of their malevolence.
"You dare insult me?"
Chai Le's eyes bulged with fury. "You're asking for death!"
In a flash, Chai Le's fist, ablaze with ferocious flames, hurtled towards Chen Feng with the force of a meteor crashing to earth.
Chen Feng appeared frozen under Chai Le's onslaught.
"This is it! The poor boy is going to be beaten to death!"
"Oh my! We saved him, but now we've put him in harm's way!"
"Had it not been for our involvement, he wouldn't have drawn the ire of the Immortal Master from the Green Mountain Sect, and wouldn't be facing such a grim fate!"
The villagers were consumed by guilt, convinced that Chen Feng stood no chance against Chai Le, certain that his demise was inevitable.
The Junior Brother and Junior Sisters behind Chai Le couldn't help but reveal cold smiles of anticipation.
Just when everyone was convinced that Chen Feng was a goner, he let out a cold laugh and retorted, "Such a feeble attack, and you think you can kill me? In your dreams!"
Skill activated—Dodge!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng's silhouette weaved through the air like a nimble serpent. Chai Le's attacks missed every time, with Chen Feng effortlessly dodging each one!
"He actually managed to dodge Senior Brother Chai Le's attack!"
"How can this kid dodge an Immortal Master's attack and emerge unscathed?"
Chai Le's fellow disciples and the villagers from Northern Mountain Village were all astounded, their eyes wide with amazement at how Chen Feng could survive Chai Le's onslaught.
Chai Le, initially taken aback by Chen Feng's adept Body Movement Technique, quickly recovered and sneered, "You may have narrowly escaped my attack, but can you evade the flames on my fist?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng glanced down and noticed his chest clothing had been scorched to ashes by the flames on Chai Le's fist, his skin reddening and starting to feel a painful burn.
But in a flash, a smile crept across Chen Feng's lips.
- Ding!

This meant that Chen Feng was now impervious to fire; the flames could not harm him anymore!
Chai Le's attacks were rendered ineffective against him!
But just as Chen Feng was about to counterattack, the system notification chimed in once more!

As the system notification chimed, Chen Feng felt a warm energy envelop the burn on his chest. Within a mere moment, the burning sensation vanished without a trace!
Chen Feng was ecstatic internally, but he kept his composure, continuing to evade Chai Le's assaults. Chai Le's attacks never landed, which only served to increase his frustration.
The villagers watched as Chen Feng managed to dodge Chai Le's attacks time after time. Initially, they were hopeful that Chen Feng might have the strength to contend with Chai Le. However, as time wore on and they saw Chen Feng merely evading without counterattacking, their hope turned to concern, fearing the worst outcome.
Chai Le's patience was steadily eroded by Chen Feng's persistent dodging. In a fit of anger, Chai Le bellowed, "You coward! You know you're no match for me, yet you continue to struggle!"
Chen Feng's brow furrowed at these words, and with a cold huff, he stopped dodging.
