Chapter 380 - 377: Magic Tide

Chapter 380: Chapter 377: Magic Tide

"Isn’t this a martial art from your hometown?" Barbarian Three Punches asked, looking stunned. "Do you still need to learn it?"

Feng Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "It’s from my hometown, yes, but I’ve never actually learned it."

"That makes sense. Looking at your small frame, you don’t really seem the type to practice martial arts." Barbarian Three Punches nodded in understanding. "Alright, then. Come to my place after the New Year, and I’ll teach you."

"It’s a deal." Feng Hao nodded excitedly. He was thrilled at the thought of finally learning the legendary Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"Alright, it’s a deal." Barbarian Three Punches smiled faintly and began discussing the Heart Method and techniques of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with Feng Hao.

Although Feng Hao had never seen the real Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, he had watched all sorts of versions with special effects, so he could talk about it with surprising confidence.

Before they had chatted for long, a shout came from Fatty over with the rest of the group: "Boss, everything’s set up! What’s next?"

"That fast?" Feng Hao exclaimed in surprise, then hurried back to the group with Barbarian Three Punches.

At the same time, the others, who had been chatting idly, all turned to look at him again.

"Hey, medicine seller, where’s that gift you promised? Hand it over!" Xi Yueyao pouted, sounding impatient.

"Don’t be hasty. Just wait a little longer." Feng Hao chuckled, then turned to ask Barbarian Three Punches, "By the way, Uncle, when is the Magic Tide supposed to arrive?"

"Well..." Barbarian Three Punches furrowed his brow, extending his Divine Sense toward the [Origin Node]. He mused, "Judging by the fluctuations from the node, it should be soon."

"That’s good." Feng Hao nodded in understanding. He smiled, looked around at the group, and said, "Everyone, just wait a little longer. After the Magic Tide erupts, I’ll give you all a visual feast."

"A visual feast?" Xie Kuangfeng said, looking dumbfounded. "When the Magic Tide arrives, we’ll all be busy cultivating. Who’s going to have time to watch some ’visual feast’?"

"Exactly. It’s the New Year. Who has time to just stand around and look at the scenery?" Xie Xiaoyu chimed in. "Besides, the sky isn’t even that nice tonight. You can barely see any stars."

Xi Yueyao was instantly displeased to hear this. "You brat! Nobody would think you’re mute if you just kept your mouth shut!"

"Hmph! I’m just stating facts," Xie Xiaoyu huffed.

Xi Yueyao snorted, then turned and started shaking Feng Hao’s arm, whining, "Medicine seller, just bring out your gift already and show this girl what she’s missing."

Feng Hao chuckled helplessly. "No need to rush. Just wait a little longer."

The words had barely left his lips when a cry of alarm rose from the distant crowd. "The Magic Tide is here! The Magic Tide is here!"

The next moment, before Feng Hao’s astonished eyes, the [Origin Node] erupted in a dazzling halo. Immediately after, a monstrous Magic Tide poured out from the node, and the concentration of magic energy in the air instantly increased dozens of times over.

Feng Hao felt as if he were submerged in a vast ocean of magic energy, every pore of his body greedily drinking in the ambient power...

At the same time, the students gathered in the Central Square quickly sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate frantically.

"Haha, I’ve waited for so long, and this day has finally come!"

"With this opportunity, I will definitely break through to the fifth rank! Who will dare look down on me then?"

"Get the hell out of my way! Don’t you dare steal my spot."

"Cuihua, wait for me! I’ll definitely break through to the fourth rank this time. When I do, I’ll come back home for you and give you the grandest wedding!"

"A bunch of weaklings. Such a golden opportunity, and you’re not even using Life Spirit Pills and Magic Crystals to help you cultivate? See this? I specially prepared ten bottles of Life Spirit Pills." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Whoa, ten bottles of Life Spirit Pills! Are you for real?"

"Yeah, aren’t the Life Spirit Pills from the Treasure Pavilion sold in limited quantities? Where did you get so many?"

"Hmph!" the young man holding the ten bottles of Life Spirit Pills said smugly. "I had more than a dozen of my family’s servants camp out at the [Treasure Pavilion] in every major city. How could you common folk possibly compare?"

...

Back with Feng Hao’s group, after a brief moment of shock, everyone started clamoring to begin their own cultivation.

Xie Xiaoyu was the most eager of them all. The instant the Magic Tide arrived, she was already sitting cross-legged on the ground and cultivating. With her genetic activity score of over two hundred, her cultivation efficiency at a time like this was undoubtedly at its peak.

"Don’t just stand there in a daze. Let’s start cultivating," Yue Linglong reminded the group with a light chuckle.

Xiyue Frost and Yao Girl paused, instinctively looking toward Feng Hao.

"Little fella, what about that visual feast of yours?" the beautiful blonde woman beside Barbarian Three Punches asked teasingly.

Facing everyone’s expectant gazes, Feng Hao just chuckled. Hesitating no longer, he spread his Divine Sense wide, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers. A smile played on his lips. "Here it comes!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The next moment, the sound of countless firecrackers erupted from all corners of the square, startling the innumerable students deep in their cultivation.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the night sky blossomed with brilliant fireworks. Set against the moon and stars, the sight was absolutely breathtaking.

"Whoa, what is this stuff? It’s beautiful!" Zhang Meng and his two friends said, completely dumbfounded.

It wasn’t just them. At that moment, every single student in the Central Square was captivated by the fireworks in the sky.

The girls, in particular, were all screaming with excitement, their eyes sparkling.

It was the same for Feng Hao’s group. From Yue Linglong to Man Tiaotiao’s mother, everyone was captivated by the brilliant fireworks, completely forgetting all about the Magic Tide.

Even the ever-icy Xiyue Frost broke into a charming smile, her gaze fixed on the fireworks in the night sky, completely lost in the moment.

Of course, the most excited of all were the two young women, Xi Yueyao and Xie Xiaoyu. Xie Xiaoyu, who had only been cultivating for a few moments, completely abandoned her practice. She ecstatically grabbed Xie Kuangfeng’s hand, jumping and skipping, happier than she’d ever been.

Yao Girl was just as ecstatic. She grabbed Feng Hao’s hand and boasted proudly, "Haha, I just knew my medicine seller wouldn’t let me down!"

"So, little one, how do you like your husband’s gift? Like it?" Feng Hao asked with a grin.

"I love it, I love it! I love it so much!" Xi Yueyao cheered ecstatically.

Just then, Dongfang Qi and Nanyuan Bo, who had been standing to the side, snapped out of their daze. They looked around in amazement and clicked their tongues. "Holy cow, this stuff is an unbeatable tool for picking up girls! Little bro, you got any more of that? Hook your big bro up."

"Not at the moment. If you two big bros want some, I can help you make more another day," Feng Hao said with a helpless laugh.

"Haha, you’re a true friend!" Dongfang Qi said, patting Feng Hao’s shoulder contentedly.

Just as everyone was lost in the spectacle of the fireworks, Yao Girl suddenly started shouting, "Don’t look, all of you! Stop looking! My medicine seller prepared these for me!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but laugh. They ignored Yao Girl’s protests and continued to admire the night sky.

Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, Yao Girl looked aggrieved, pouting as she began to sulk.

Feng Hao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and gently soothed her, "It’s okay. This sort of thing is meant to be seen by everyone."
