"Show me the evolution paths!"
With a thought, Lin Feng began to browse the options. It was exactly as he suspected. A system panel appeared, showing eight evolution paths, totaling the nine great ninja legions.
"Which one to pick? It has to be the Shadow Eaters!"
Lin Feng chose without a moment's hesitation. The Shadow Eaters (Sumo-types aside) could devour infinitely! Putting aside their potential ceiling, with the Beast of the Hand providing a source of energy, the power they could consume would be astronomical. Using the Black Sky to breed a legion was the perfect strategy.
[Ding! Selection confirmed! Black Shadow Corps has unlocked the evolution branch: Shadow Eater Legion!]
The system prompt rang out. Before Lin Feng, the warping Shadow Ninja began to shrink rapidly until it was only the size of a thumb. Its appearance had changed drastically as well. It was pitch black with a massive, fang-filled maw and sharp, predatory limbs.
"Actually looks kind of cute," Lin Feng remarked, shaking his head. He knew the Shadow Eaters still needed to grow. He issued a command to the tiny creature: "Go. Devour the shadows of the criminals in this city. Don't disappoint me."
Whoosh.
The Shadow Eater slipped into the darkness and vanished.
In the days that followed, criminals throughout New York and the surrounding areas began to experience horrific nightmares every time they fell asleep. Their shadows were being silently devoured until they vanished entirely. This phenomenon caused a wave of panic, eventually drawing the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., though their investigation ultimately turned up nothing.
But that was a story for later.
Having settled the matters in Hell's Kitchen, Lin Feng melded into the shadows and returned to Jessica Jones' apartment. For the next few days, he immersed himself in the Dragon Bone Qi Refinement method.
The amount of Dragon Bone he consumed would have made Madame Gao faint from the sheer cost, but Lin Feng didn't care in the slightest. No matter how powerful a treasure was, it was garbage unless it was converted into personal strength.
Time flew by. A few days later, Lin Feng felt his power had increased significantly. He was just about to test the combat capabilities of the Black Rhino Armor when he suddenly sensed an unusual movement outside his door.Knock, knock, knock!
A steady, unhurried rapping sounded at the door.
"Is Jessica back already?" Lin Feng muttered, a slight frown creasing his brow as he walked over to open the door.
The first thing that met his eyes was a pair of stunning, impressive curves. Though encased in a professional, form-fitting uniform, the fabric did nothing to hide their breathtaking silhouette, making it difficult for anyone to look away.
Lin Feng gave them a cursory glance before raising his eyes to meet the visitor's gaze.
"So, they've finally arrived."
He recognized her instantly. There wasn't a hint of surprise in his expression; he had long expected to be targeted by certain organizations. However, he hadn't expected S.H.I.E.L.D. to be so impatient that they'd come knocking after only a few days.
He wondered what Natasha Romanoff's true objective was.
Adopting a look of mild confusion, Lin Feng asked, "Miss, can I help you? Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, sir." Natasha's red lips curved into a slight smile as she nodded. "I'm Natasha, a teacher from Midtown High and a part-time psychological counselor. I apologize for the intrusion, but I've come to speak with you regarding Jessica."
"Jessica?" Lin Feng stepped aside, gesturing for Natasha to enter the apartment.
He poured her a cup of tea, and once they were both seated, he brought the conversation back to the point. "I appreciate your concern for Jessica. Her past experiences have indeed dealt her a heavy blow."
"You're too kind. It's my responsibility as her teacher," Natasha replied, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear and flashing a bright, radiant smile. Her effortless charm was enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.
"However, sir..." Her tone shifted subtly. "What happened to Jessica is something none of us wanted to see. We all want to help her, but that requires the combined effort of both her teachers and her family."
"Naturally," Lin Feng agreed, following her lead and engaging in small talk.
He had no intention of exposing her identity just yet. While Natasha clearly had ulterior motives, as a top-tier agent, she undoubtedly knew her way around psychology. Since he genuinely wanted to help Jessica, he didn't mind playing along with Natasha's performance.
"That's wonderful to hear. Sir, I'd like to understand Jessica on a deeper level. Would you mind showing me her room?" Natasha's sultry eyes blinked at him. She added with a serious face, "You see, as a counselor, the better I understand my student's environment, the better I can guide her."
"Of course." Lin Feng nodded and led her into the room.
Jessica's room was the master bedroom. Like any other teenage girl's room, it was decorated to be warm and cozy, yet it felt somewhat hollow, lacking the vibrancy of a normal life.
Natasha observed the room in silence. She noticed a family photo hidden in a corner, turned face down. She knew that everyone in that photo, aside from Jessica, had perished in a tragic accident.
After a brief tour, they stepped back into the living room. Natasha's voice turned somber. "Sir, I can see from the layout of the room that Jessica is in a great deal of internal pain. However, I can also see that she is starting to improve."
She fixed her gaze on Lin Feng, her eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny. "I suspect that is largely thanks to your efforts."
"It's the least I could do," Lin Feng replied, his voice carrying a deeper meaning. "I may not be her blood relative, but as far as I'm concerned, I won't allow anyone to hurt her."
