Chapter 1029: Chapter 1026: Strength Refined
After realizing the benefits of this cultivation chamber, Luo Feng dared not slack off. In the days that followed, he practiced various martial arts during the day and diligently trained in the Divine Dragon Nine Changes at night, aiming to break through to the mid-nine levels of the Spiritual Rotation Realm as soon as possible.
Time flew by quickly in such intense cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Swoosh!
In the martial arts arena crafted from Profound Weight Stone, a figure moved swiftly and fluidly, at a speed that was beyond belief.
"Faster!"
A thought flashed in his mind, and the yuan qi within Luo Feng’s body operated to its limit. In an instant, golden flames rose from him, his speed surged explosively, and his movements became imperceptible to the naked eye. At a glance, the entire martial arts arena was filled with golden silhouettes, overlapping, leaving one unable to distinguish between illusions and reality.
"Step of Sky-Burning Monarch!"
Suddenly, Luo Feng’s figure came to a stop in the center of the martial arts arena, surrounded by fierce flames in gold and red hues. He stepped towards the ground.
Buzz!
With a muffled sound, there appeared a half-foot deep footprint on the sturdy Profound Weight Stone.
Phew...
After stopping, Luo Feng wiped away the hot sweat on his forehead and exhaled a scorching breath.
This martial arts arena, made from Profound Weight Stone, multiplies gravity, making qinggong extremely strenuous. After a round of practice, he was almost exhausted.
His gaze fell on the footprint on the ground, and Luo Feng nodded to himself: "Not bad, the Sky Cloud Step has finally reached the ninth level. With more practice, once the yuan qi flame turns purely golden, the power of the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch should enhance a layer further, showcasing the true might of a light martial art at Earth level."
Muttering to himself, Luo Feng took out Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber. With resolved eyes, he unsheathed the saber, executing the first stance of the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber - ’Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Blade’.
Swish!
With a flash of blazing light, the air in the cultivation chamber split silently. On the opposite wall, there appeared a deep slash mark, over a foot long.
Seeing the slash mark, Luo Feng nodded, "Indeed, it’s no ordinary Earth-level saber technique. Even though it’s just the first stance, its power is extraordinary. If only I could obtain the secret manual for the second stance ’Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky Saber’ from the Evil Saber, my overall strength should be able to advance further."
During these ten days of rigorous cultivation, Luo Feng’s strength advanced rapidly; besides his progression to the peak of early nine stages of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, all his martial arts have improved.
The only regret is that the Blood Soul Transformation, the second cycle of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, still remains at the eighth level with little progress. If, however, it reaches the ninth level to refine a strand of True Yuan, he would not need to fear the Evil Saber at all.
Of course, this is merely wishful thinking.
Everything has its pros and cons; the Divine Dragon Nine Changes could potentially be a supreme cultivation technique, making its difficulty unsurprising. Achieving the ninth level Blood Soul Transformation in a short time wouldn’t be easy.
"It’s already been ten days, I wonder how Lin Hongyi is doing. The Evil Saber isn’t an ordinary Martial Artist at the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm; only if she breaks through to the ninth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm can we increase our chances."
After pondering, Luo Feng adjusted his clothing and headed towards the stairs.
This cultivation chamber is located deep beneath the Big Market City, filled with Earth Core Fire Fiend. Short-term cultivation poses no issue, but prolonged exposure leads to excess Evil Qi accumulation in the meridians, causing restlessness, drastically lowering the state of cultivation, and even risk of Qi deviation, providing no benefit.
Luo Feng intended to step out for some fresh air before continuing cultivation, also to check on Lin Hongyi’s condition.
Ascending the long staircase, Luo Feng reached the entrance, feeling relaxed at the sight of the bright sky outside.
Just as he was about to step out, Luo Feng’s ears twitched slightly, catching sounds of a clear, reprimanding voice from outside, possessing penetrating strength.
"This is Xiao Yue..."
Luo Feng recognized the owner of the voice, stepping lightly to approach.
Bam! Bam!
Under the bamboo grove in the courtyard, a petite figure dressed in a water-blue gown was practicing punching.
Although her silhouette seemed frail, each punch and kick was bold and fierce, causing sharp sonic booms in the air, exhibiting astonishing penetrating force.
"Tyrant Flame Universe!"
With a cold shout from her mouth, the water-blue dress of Xiao Yue suddenly whipped about. Her delicate right fist turned a glaring crimson, as she punched straight out.
Bang!
With a muffled noise, the air ahead of her twisted violently; the forming fist wind caused the surrounding bamboo grove to sway left and right, scattering bamboo leaves like winter snow.
"This is Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, and it seems to be nearing small success..."
Raising his eyebrows, Luo Feng recognized the punch technique Xiao Yue was practicing, somewhat surprised.
He had entrusted Xiao Yue with the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist mere two months ago, and in such a short period, she had cultivated it to this stage, remarkably impressive.
Apparently, Yang Wanyi’s words were true; Xiao Sang and Xiao Yue not only excelled in commerce but also possessed excellent cultivation talents.
"Still not there, haven’t even comprehended one-fifth of the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, Profound Level martial arts indeed aren’t easy to cultivate..."
Looking at the fluttering bamboo leaves, Xiao Yue felt a bit disheartened, then she vigorously slapped her face, reassuring herself with her pouting rosy lips, "Xiao Yue, this is the fist technique entrusted by the Young Master, you cannot give up..."
As she spoke, Xiao Yue suddenly noticed Luo Feng nearby, freezing in place, mouth agape and not closing, eyes wide and bright.
"Master."
Exclaiming in surprise, Xiao Yue’s face turned red with embarrassment, "Master, when did you come out?"
"For a while now."
Luo Feng gave a faint smile, saying, "Xiao Yue, a calm mindset is crucial in cultivation; avoid rushing for success."
"Got it, thank you, Master."
Xiao Yue gave a youthful, lively smile, brushed off the bamboo leaves on her dress, darted glances at Luo Feng, teasingly asked: "Master, have you advanced in your cultivation?"
"Not yet, just came out to breathe."
Luo Feng shook his head, suddenly assuming a posture, saying to Xiao Yue: "Watch carefully."
Recognizing Luo Feng’s stance as the starting move of the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, Xiao Yue knew Luo Feng was about to guide her cultivation. She swiftly nodded, stepped aside, her eyes fixed unblinking.
"Hah!"
Luo Feng’s aura dramatically changed, issuing a fierce shout to boost the power of the fist technique, both fists turned into blazing flames, steps sync with punches, launching punches continuously like a tiger or leopard attacking, unfolding the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist in one go.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
As Luo Feng retracted his fists, an astonishing scene unfolded - the air within the courtyard warped intensely, then collapsed, followed by thunderous booming sounds, and all the bamboo leaves on the ground spontaneously combusted, vanishing into nothingness.
