Upon seeing that Freddy's "Power of Nightmare" was categorised under the superpowers section in the character attribute panel, Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with surprise.

Originally, Xiao Feng had thought that Freddy's power of nightmare would be akin to his giant's strength, both falling under bloodline abilities.

After reviewing the attribute panel, Xiao Feng began to test out the Power of Nightmare.

As Xiao Feng activated the Power of Nightmare, several dozen light spots immediately appeared in his mind.

Each light spot represented a person's dream. With just a thought, Xiao Feng could enter any of those dreams.

After watching these dream light spots for a while, Xiao Feng finally focused on the one closest to him.

"Bang!"

The moment Xiao Feng entered that dream, his body instantly went limp, collapsing as if he had become a vegetable.

This happened because when using the Power of Nightmare, Xiao Feng entered a state similar to an out-of-body experience.

Simply put, Xiao Feng's soul was descending into the target's dream.

Thus, Freddy's ability to kill in dreams could be considered a type of special soul attack.

"Useless! How did I raise such a worthless child? All you know is how to indulge in pleasure all day long. Even a piece of dry bread is more useful than you!"

Before Xiao Feng could figure out what was going on, a frustrated scolding echoed in his ears.

Following the voice, Xiao Feng saw a bearded man, Jia Lie Bi, holding a cane as thick as three fingers and thrashing Jia Lie Ao, who cried out in pain.

Because of the Dragon Crocodile Puppet's overwhelming strength, comparable to a Dou Spirit at the peak level, when Xiao Zhan and his group attacked the Jia Lie family, Jia Lie Bi decisively chose to surrender.

A true man can bend and adapt; as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!

Seeing Jia Lie Bi's pragmatic decision, Xiao Zhan's group didn't exterminate them but only forced the Jia Lie family to bow to the Xiao family.

Given the Xiao family's current power, Jia Lie Bi didn't dare show any disrespect on the surface, though he indeed harboured resentment inside.

Jia Lie Bi knew well that the Xiao family had risen so quickly because Xiao Zhan had an exceptional son. Every time he saw his disappointing son, he felt the urge to beat Jia Lie Ao.

As the saying goes: "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

Jia Lie Bi had thought all day about beating Jia Lie Ao, so at night, he dreamt of doing just that.

Xiao Feng observed the dream for a while before losing interest and quietly exited it.

After his soul returned to his body, Xiao Feng used the Power of Nightmare again, entering another dream slightly farther away.

The owner of this dream was a mercenary from Qingshan Town.

When Xiao Feng trained in Qingshan Town, he earned the title of "Qingshan Demon " and destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, leaving many people with lasting psychological scars.

Anyone who feared Xiao Feng could be sensed by his Power of Nightmare in their dreams, and this young mercenary was no exception.

Compared to Jia Lie Bi's dream, this mercenary's dream was more interesting—it was an inappropriate one that required censorship.

Watching the young mercenary engrossed in his dream, Xiao Feng suddenly smiled mischievously. He sneaked up behind him and tapped his shoulder, saying, "Hold up, hold up. Guess who I am?"

"Don't bother me! Can't you see I'm busy..."

The mercenary grumbled impatiently, turning his head. When he saw Xiao Feng, he shuddered in terror.

"Aaahhh!"

With a terrified scream, the mercenary's dream shattered, waking him from his nightmare.

Due to the dream breaking apart, Xiao Feng lost his footing and was forcefully thrown back into his body.

"Huh?"

Xiao Feng wasn't angry about being thrown back but instead looked pleasantly surprised.

After absorbing the mercenary's fear, Xiao Feng noticed that his soul power had indeed grown, albeit just a tiny bit.

Although that increase in soul power was minuscule and almost negligible, it gave Xiao Feng hope of enhancing his soul power.

Rubbing his chin, Xiao Feng revealed a devilish smile and said, "It seems tonight will be a sleepless night. Hehehe..."

Over the next few hours, Xiao Feng continuously used the Power of Nightmare, entering various dreams he could sense, transforming into all sorts of demons and monsters to terrify the dreamers.

In addition to scaring people, Xiao Feng also killed a few of the most heinous individuals.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Feng couldn't tell if the dream's owner was good or evil just from the dream alone.

However, some people had such dark hearts that even in their dreams, they committed heinous acts like murder, rape, and robbery.

It's said that people can't dream about things they haven't done in real life.

For instance, a man who has never been with a woman, even if he dreams of such an encounter, will only dream of a vague outline, unable to conjure detailed scenes.

Therefore, those who dream vividly of killing and looting must have done such things in reality.

Just as Xiao Feng expected, after using the Power of Nightmare to kill those individuals, his merit points increased by thousands.

By the time morning came and most people awoke from their dreams, leaving Xiao Feng unable to sense any more dream points, he finally stopped his night of terrorising.

Since absorbing dreamers' fears could strengthen his soul, Xiao Feng, despite having stayed up all night, felt no exhaustion—in fact, he felt even more energised and excited.

After a quick wash, Xiao Feng called on Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin, who lived next door, to have breakfast.

After enjoying a hearty meal with Xiao Zhan and the others, Xiao Feng and his companions, with everyone from the Xiao family seeing them off, rode the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor and left Wu Tan City, heading towards the Black-Corner Region.
