High Martial: I Use Everything as Swords

After seeing off the investigation team, Lei Zhen immediately summoned everyone from the Sharp Sword Squad to the Command Tower.

"Alright, don’t just stand there!"

Lei Zhen waved a hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

"This matter was all thanks to you."

"Especially you, Han Feng."

His large hand clapped heavily on Han Feng’s shoulder, nearly knocking him over.

"The higher-ups have already made their determination. This was a Third Level ’Evil Cult Attack Incident’."

"Although our farm suffered considerable losses, we successfully thwarted the enemy’s plot, defended the core area, and avoided mass casualties. All in all, it’s a great accomplishment."

Lei Zhen’s gaze swept over each and every one of them.

"As per regulations, everyone who participated in the operation will be rewarded."

"The mission Contribution Points for every member of your squad will be doubled!"

"Doubled?"

Wang Meng’s eyes instantly lit up.

"Wow! Director Lei, you’re so generous!"

Gu Yun couldn’t help but let out a whistle.

A smile spread across Zhang Hao’s face as well.

Every one of them had given their all on this mission, so naturally, they were overjoyed to receive such a reward.

"It’s what you’ve earned."

Lei Zhen waved his hand dismissively. Then, his tone shifted as his gaze fell upon Han Feng once more.

"However, we give credit where credit is due."

"And the one who contributed the most naturally deserves a special reward."

He picked up a black metal briefcase from the table beside him and placed it in front of Han Feng.

"Han Feng, your contribution to this operation was monumental."

"You warned us about the beast tide, took off under duress to eliminate the aerial threat, suppressed the Evil Cult assassins single-handedly, and even pinpointed the enemy’s nest."

"Without you, forget saving the wheat; it’s doubtful anyone on this entire farm would be standing here today."

Lei Zhen’s voice was resonant and firm.

"I, Lei Zhen, am not a stingy man."

"Based on your contributions during the Evil Cult attack, the farm is awarding you an additional 100,000 Contribution Points!"

He then opened two boxes made of Cold Jade, revealing two iridescent Spirit Plants lying within.

One was crimson, shaped like coral, and radiated a scorching heat.

The other was as white as jade, bearing a golden, longan-sized fruit at its tip that filled the air with a fresh, sweet fragrance.

"The hundred thousand Contribution Points are a personal bonus from me."

"And these two Spirit Plants are a Tier Two Upper Grade ’Red Flame Coral’ and ’Golden Sun Fruit’."

The moment he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

Wang Meng’s jaw dropped, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

The Lucky Coin in Gu Yun’s hand clattered to the floor, but he didn’t seem to notice.

’One hundred thousand Contribution Points!’

’And two top-quality, Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Plants!’

’All told, that’s probably worth close to two hundred thousand Contribution Points!’

’He’s rich!’

’This is what it means to strike it rich overnight!’

Han Feng’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"Director Lei, this... this is too much!"

"Go on, take it."

Zhang Hao chimed in with a smile, "It’s what you’ve earned. Don’t be so formal with Director Lei."

Han Feng took a deep breath and, no longer refusing, solemnly closed the briefcase.

"Thank you, Director Lei!"

"Alright, enough with the formalities."

Lei Zhen waved his hand. "After this beast tide, the Demon Beast Remains are piled like mountains for dozens of miles in every direction. The Evil Qi from it won’t dissipate for at least a year or so."

"For a long time to come, no foolish Demon Beast will dare cause trouble around here."

"Your mission is essentially complete ahead of schedule. Rest up here on the farm for a few days. Once the runway is repaired, you can return to Fortress City whenever you’re ready."

With that, he waved his hand, dismissing them.

Carrying the heavy briefcase, Han Feng quickly returned to his dorm room under the mixed gazes of envy and jealousy from his teammates.

He could hardly wait.

After closing his door, he immediately took the two Spirit Plants out of their Cold Jade Boxes.

Han Feng stared at the two Spirit Plants, his eyes glinting.

’It’s time to make a huge leap forward in my Sword Bone Transformation progress!’

Back in his dorm, Han Feng placed the heavy metal briefcase on his desk with a dull THUD.

The card worth one hundred thousand Contribution Points lay there quietly, next to two Cold Jade Boxes that emanated a bone-chilling air.

He didn’t even glance at the card representing a fortune, instead carefully opening one of the Jade Boxes.

A wave of scorching heat washed over him.

Inside was a Spirit Plant shaped like a fiery red coral. It was translucent, as if magma were slowly flowing within it.

The Tier Two Upper Grade "Red Flame Coral."

Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the Spirit Plant and stuffed it into his mouth as if it were a carrot.

BOOM!

A scorching Energy, ten times more violent than the Red Blood Dragon Ginseng he had consumed before, instantly detonated within his body!

A violent burning sensation seared his internal organs, and excruciating pain wracked every inch of his flesh.

Despite the agony, Han Feng didn’t even grunt. He immediately opened the other Jade Box.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the "Golden Sun Fruit."

A cool, refreshing energy quickly spread out, instantly suppressing the scorching heat. It rapidly infused his entire body, nourishing his seared meridians. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Extreme heat and extreme cold waged a thrilling tug-of-war within his body.

[Ding! High-quality Spiritual Essence influx detected. Initiating conversion guidance...]

[Warning! Energy is too immense. Current physique absorption rate is only 53%. Force absorption?]

’Inject it all into the Sword Bone! Don’t waste a single drop!’

Han Feng roared in his mind.

Through the intense pain, he could clearly "see" two streams of energy—one red, one gold—frantically weaving, colliding, and merging within his spine.

His entire spine, like a peerless Divine Weapon being repeatedly forged, was tempered. Each strike brought heart-rending agony, but also a fundamental, bone-deep transformation.

An unknown amount of time passed before the energy storm within his body finally subsided, and Han Feng slowly opened his eyes.

A faint golden light flashed deep in his eyes before vanishing.

[Ding! Body Tempering Cultivation has increased!]

[Current Realm: Body Tempering Eighth Layer (1150/1600)]

[Ding! Sword Bone Transformation progress has increased!]

[Current Progress: 52/100!]

[Ding! Talent: Spiritual Vision has been enhanced!]

’Success!’

Han Feng slowly exhaled a turbid breath, feeling his entire body brimming with unprecedented power.

With a thought, he activated [Spiritual Vision].

The entire world instantly transformed.

’If my Spiritual Vision was like 4K Ultra HD before, now it’s an IMAX screen with glasses-free 3D!’

He could clearly see the multicolored motes of Spiritual Qi floating in the air, the blue electrical light flowing through the energy conduits in the walls, and could even "see" inside his own body, where his Qi Blood surged like a great river.

The massive boost in his strength put him in an excellent mood.

Just then, a soft knock came from his dorm room door.

Han Feng got up and opened the door. It was Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Han Feng.

He could sense that in the few short hours since they’d last seen each other, Han Feng’s entire presence had undergone a subtle change.

If before he was like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath, now, the edge of that blade was becoming too sharp to conceal.

"Looking at you, I’d say you’ve made some significant gains."

Zhang Hao said with a smile as he walked in.

"It went okay. My strength has risen a fair bit."

Han Feng didn’t hide it, casually closing the door behind him.

"Your Talent..."

Zhang Hao asked, his eyes filled with curiosity, "How’s it coming along?"

"Do you feel like you’re close to maxing it out?"
