Confined to one's home at the start, studied for ten years, and became a saint and ancestor.

Spring is gone and autumn is coming!

Time turns.

Time flies when you're engrossed in a book.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

It takes a full 80,000 experience points to progress from the late stage of Grandmaster to Grandmaster.

Without experience cards, it would take at least a year to complete.

However, in the past six months, Lu Feifan has obtained a total of three experience cards.

Therefore, in just five months, his cultivation level reached the Grandmaster realm.

As for the various rewards during this period, Lu Feifan put them all into the system space.

Now, the Heavenly Rank will give him a little surprise.

Even earth-rank treasures are ordinary to him.

Lu Feifan also allocated the extra experience to the Boundless Hand.

However, for a martial skill at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Rank, this amount of experience is too little and does not bring much improvement; it only provides a few more insights!

In the past six months, the puppy has made great progress.

He kept getting good stuff, and his bloodline was indeed extraordinary, having already reached the late stage of the Innate Realm.

When Lu Feifan was engrossed in his studies, an assassin appeared, and it was the dog that took the initiative to deal with it.

What pleased Lu Feifan the most was...

An ordinary puppy, after about half a year, has started to grow up and is no longer so cute.

But Black Sky is extraordinary; his early childhood was much longer.

Therefore, even though it's almost a year old, it still looks like a puppy.

It can be held and played with in one hand.

It feels very good to have him lick me sometimes.

In the past few months, neither the elderly nor Chen Bo have been coming as frequently.

The elderly person only comes here when they want to read in peace.

Chen Bo would only come to inform him when there was big news.

That guy, he can't stay still at all.

Given the current unfavorable situation, as he put it, he might not be able to enjoy the benefits of these benefits anytime soon, so he should enjoy them now, even if it means doing so early, to avoid any regrets.

For Lu Feifan, the occasional assassins became a spice in his life.

Those people were very persistent; repeated failures did not make them give up.

It's as if the lives of those martial artists are worthless.

I don't know where all that hatred for him comes from!

…………

"Why is that good-for-nothing heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion still alive?!"

"You can't even kill such a useless person? That Zhang family is truly worthless, letting such a worthless family be the dogs of our Phantom Clan. Yingliang, your judgment is as bad as ever!"

In the capital city, in a dark underground chamber.

The dim lights flickered, and echoing moans made the place seem eerie and unsettling.

In the center of the secret chamber, there were humanoid figures that looked like ghosts, some sitting cross-legged and some standing.

A voice rang out from the center of the shadows, sharp and piercing, so powerful it could pierce the soul.

"Tianmen Mountain has already turned against the royal family, and the Great Xia is about to fall into chaos. We have achieved our goal, so whether that useless prince lives or dies is no longer important. Why mention it again!"

Another shadow sitting opposite him, known as Yingliang, snorted coldly.

"Tch, the chaos in Great Xia was caused by their own actions. You didn't play any role at all. As a troublemaker, how can you be so shameless? Besides, Great Xia may be in chaos, but the eight great pillar families are still stable! That's a variable."

The nitpicking shadow said.

He was just using this as an excuse to make a fuss, so naturally he wouldn't let the matter rest easily.

"It's already a stretch that a useless heir could go along with the tide and stir up the feud between the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and Tianmen Mountain. What makes him think he has the power to make the Eight Great Pillars of State turn against him?!"

Yingliang snorted coldly.

He naturally understood the other party's intentions.

He actually felt ashamed about it, so he never gave up on the assassination attempt.

Unfortunately, it has never been successful.

However, ordinary human warriors are just consumables; if they die, they die. The assassinations never stop, and if they succeed, he won't lose face.

Unfortunately, that "what if" didn't happen.

This has led to them being ridiculed by their rivals for this.

"Whether he has the status depends on your methods. If you're not up to the task, give up your position, and I'll show you what true methods are!"

The troublemaker chuckled.

"Humph!"

"I won't say anything else, Ying Pi, if you can kill that useless prince, why not give you this position!"

Yingliang sneered.

Tianya Haige is a special place.

The assassins sent by the sect cannot exceed the Innate Realm level, otherwise it will alert the old guys inside.

Only someone born with this ability can be so indifferent and ignore what is considered insignificant to them.

But if we're talking about innate talent alone, he's already sent out several waves.

Even those with innate strength comparable to grandmasters failed to achieve their goals.

He suspected that there were skilled individuals arranged by the Duke's mansion around that useless heir.

Therefore, given the limited manpower available, an assassination attempt would be impossible.

That's why he dared to say that.

This was also to shut up the Phantom present.

Let them know that it's not that he can't kill even trash, but that he genuinely has no other choice.

"Okay, this is what you said!"

"Hehehehe...!"

Yingpi's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

It seems things have already taken a turn for the better!

That silly bird, lol.

"Assassinations have become more frequent? What's going on?"

Next half month.

Lu Feifan survived five assassination attempts in a row.

Although there was no real threat, it still annoyed him to no end.

Damn it, he studies here all day long, how come he suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest?

He didn't do anything!

Thinking about it, the only one who's most suspicious is the guy who tried to kill him back then.

They really haven't given up their wicked intentions.

What hatred and resentment!

They used to come occasionally, but now it's become a regular occurrence.

It was like suddenly losing all patience.

"Could it be that the woman that his troublesome cousin found for him is the one he likes?!"

Lu Feifan thought about it carefully, and realized that this was the only possibility.

Perhaps that guy wasn't in the capital at first.

Upon returning, he discovered the problem, and thus became filled with murderous intent towards him.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems!

Otherwise, why would I have come here with my sword, intending to kill him myself?

Lu Feifan is, after all, the heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Even if he is punished and no longer recognized, what he did was a direct slap in the face to the Duke's mansion.

He must have realized this later and calmed down before hiring someone to assassinate him.

"They're really persistent. Most importantly, they must have been provoked by something these past few days, because they've increased the intensity!"

Lu Feifan strongly suspected that their relationship had developed a rift because of him.

The situation escalated over time, so he vented his anger on Lu Feifan.

"I'm a victim too!"

Having figured it out, Lu Feifan shook his head.

Therefore, he was not so angry about the assassination attempt.

"Is he really that hard to kill?"

"However, hmph!"

"That good-for-nothing Yingliang is so timid and cowardly. Today I'll show him what real power is!"

Another batch of people sent into Tianya Haige remained silent for a long time.

At the top of an ancient tree not far from Tianya Haige, Ying Pi shook his head with regret, then revealed a resolute expression.

Assassination is out of the question!

Then... kill him outright!
