Chapter 979: Chapter 976: Shui Linglong’s Gift, Divine Refining Body!
"Reached the limit..."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, struggling to maintain a thin layer of protective Gang energy as he watched the Split Water Jade Light Fish surround him from all directions. The previous battle had nearly exhausted the remaining Yuan Qi within his body, and maintaining the protective Gang energy was already his current limit.
Swish, swish, swish...
The Split Water Jade Light Fish moved like lightning in the water, about to engulf Luo Feng instantly.
With such a large number of Split Water Jade Light Fish, it was nearly impossible for his current protective Gang energy to withstand them.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
Suddenly, the icy lake water began to bubble, and radiant flames, a crimson vortex of fire, swept around Luo Feng, incinerating the lake water into steam as it traveled, shattering a large portion of Split Water Jade Light Fish into fragments, their bones burned to ashes.
In a moment of distraction, Luo Feng felt his body lighten, then a hand grabbed him, pulling him towards the water’s surface.
Seeing Shui Linglong was the one pulling him, Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and could no longer sustain himself as the protective Gang energy vanished instantly.
Splash!
Shui Linglong pulled Luo Feng from the water, appearing on a rocky surface.
Leaning against a rock, Luo Feng felt weak and powerless, unable to move a finger, with his whole body’s meridians faintly aching.
"Luo Feng, congratulations on passing the test." Shui Linglong smiled as she looked at Luo Feng.
With a bitter smile, Luo Feng looked at Shui Linglong and weakly said:
"Linglong, if you had been a moment slower, I’m afraid I would have been torn apart by the fish horde."
"Hehe, see if you dare to act tough again."
Shui Linglong giggled, yet she deeply admired him.
How could she not see that Luo Feng’s Yuan Qi was nearly depleted, his injuries were not light, yet he managed to persist to this point without passing out? Not to mention she couldn’t do it, even looking across the entire Twelve Golden Palace, few people have such determination.
Walking to Luo Feng, Shui Linglong held him up and took out a pale green pill, placing it in his mouth, saying:
"This is the Green Jade Revitalizing Pill, beneficial for external injuries, quickly take it."
Luo Feng nodded, swallowed the spirit pill, allowing it to dissolve within his body. The cooling medicinal power seeped into his organs and flesh, alleviating much of the burning sensation throughout his body.
He was just about to get up when Shui Linglong stopped him with her hand.
"Don’t move rashly. You’ve exhausted your Yuan Qi, even beyond your limits. It’s exceedingly dangerous, a single mistake could damage your meridians. At that time, venturing out for training wouldn’t be possible."
Luo Feng only heard half of Shui Linglong’s words.
The exhaustive battle over three days and nights, even an iron man couldn’t withstand it. As soon as he relaxed his mind, a wave of drowsiness swept over him, causing him to fall asleep immediately, even snoring lightly.
"Fell asleep so quickly?"
Looking at Luo Feng sleeping in her arms, Shui Linglong smiled, reaching out her white hand to adjust Luo Feng’s position to make him more comfortable.
Ripples appeared in the air as Shui Qingcheng emerged from them.
"Sister!"
Shui Linglong was somewhat surprised, her pretty face blushing slightly.
Shui Qingcheng’s expression did not change, her beautiful eyes carefully examined Luo Feng, saying: "He passed the test?"
"Yes."
Shui Linglong nodded, forgetting her embarrassment, asked: "Sister, did you know he could pass the test in advance, which is why you set the time to three days?"
Shui Qingcheng shook her head slightly: "I saw you didn’t want him to go out training, so I wanted to trap him for a while. His ability to persist for three days was beyond my expectations."
Upon hearing this, Shui Linglong was speechless.
"Now the matter is settled, we can only let him go. With his potential, his vision shouldn’t be confined to the small Canglang Dynasty. Exploring the outside world is an essential experience for him," Shui Qingcheng said.
Shui Linglong looked at the sleeping Luo Feng and nodded.
At this point, she had no reason to stop Luo Feng anymore. Genuine powerhouses are forged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, just like what Luo Feng experienced over the past three days.
Shui Qingcheng gave Shui Linglong a glance, then suddenly stretched out her clean hand, snatching in the air.
Splash!
The lake surface suddenly split open, a mountain-sized volume of lake water floated in mid-air, forming a giant water ball that spun rapidly, with traces of purple thunder flashing on its surface.
Moments later, the water ball shrank to the size of a fist, filled with seven-colored mysterious light, radiant and strikingly beautiful.
"This is... the Purple Electric Divine Refining Technique of the Free and Unfettered Sect!"
Shui Linglong showed surprise.
Shui Qingcheng did not explain, changing a few spirit techniques with her right hand, transforming the seven-colored water ball into a humanoid form, which bore some resemblance to Luo Feng as it floated in front of him, inch by inch merging into his body and disappearing.
"In the next three months, if he faces life-threatening danger, this Divine Refining Body has a fifty percent chance of saving his life. Only you and I should know this,"
Shui Qingcheng’s figure vanished, leaving only her melodic voice lingering at the original spot.
Shui Linglong was stunned for a moment, then joyfully said: "Thank you, sister!"
The surroundings returned to silence, as if Shui Qingcheng had never appeared from the start.
...
Luo Feng had a very restful sleep.
He slowly opened his eyes after a seemingly timeless period had passed.
The bright sky had subsided into darkness, where numerous stars lightly flickered in the night view, with Shui Linglong’s stunning side profile close by, as her eyes glimmered brighter than the celestial stars above.
"You’re finally awake; if you had been a bit later, I would have considered tossing you into Yao Light Lake."
Shui Linglong smiled faintly as she saw Luo Feng awaken.
Only then did Luo Feng realize he had been asleep in Shui Linglong’s arms the whole day.
A thought flashed by, prompting Luo Feng to quickly rise, feeling slightly flustered, and awkwardly said:
"Thank you, Linglong. If anything arises in the future, Luo Feng will never refuse."
Shui Linglong smiled faintly. At this moment, Luo Feng seemed like a completely different person compared to when he was cultivating. She asked:
"How is your recovery?"
Hearing this, Luo Feng tried to circulate his Yuan Qi, and immediately, a surge of a tempestuous aura spread out.
"Oh!"
Luo Feng showed surprise.
He felt full of energy, his injuries fully healed, and he had reached a peak state.
Not only that, the previously unstable Yuan Qi was now completely solidified. Even his flesh felt incredibly firm, imbued with a faint glow, like jade stone. There was no need to test it; he could clearly feel that his physique was much stronger than before.
If his guess was correct, all these changes were the result of the past three days of training.
Seeing Luo Feng’s expression, Shui Linglong smiled slightly:
"It seems you have already recovered. You have passed the examination now. When do you plan to leave the Golden Palace?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "I’ll leave early tomorrow morning."
Shui Linglong nodded and said, "You are my direct disciple. Before you leave, I have a gift for you."
Luo Feng shook his head, "No need, Sister Linglong, you have already helped me so much."
"Rejecting so soon? Then, let me tell you, I want to teach you the fourth stage of the Sky Fire King Fist ’King is Invincible’." Shui Linglong looked at Luo Feng with a teasing smile.
"The fourth stage of Sky Fire King Fist!"
Luo Feng’s heart trembled. He had long wanted to cultivate the Sky Fire King Fist to the Great Achievement Realm, but unfortunately, he kept missing the final step, as if something was lacking.
"Sister Linglong, please guide me."
Luo Feng quickly said. He had known for a long time that Shui Linglong had cultivated the Sky Fire King Fist to the Great Achievement Realm, so he could not miss such an opportunity.
"You truly are a training fanatic, follow me."
Shui Linglong smiled lightly and her figure flashed, flying out into the distance.
Luo Feng used the Sky Cloud Step and followed after.
Moments later, the two arrived above a region of continuous barren mountains. After circling slightly, they landed in front of a perilous cliff.
Beyond the cliff, a sea of clouds roared, and the night wind blew, producing a low wailing sound.
Shui Linglong stood atop the cliff, her blue dress fluttering fiercely in the night wind. Her seemingly gentle figure held an aura as immovable as a mountain, making Luo Feng feel a sense of admiration from his heart.
"Luo Feng, your Sky Fire King Fist is already at a sufficient level, but you lack a critical element, which is why you haven’t been able to break through."
Luo Feng frowned: "What am I missing?"
"Momentum!"
Shui Linglong’s clear voice suddenly became focused, her eyes dazzling brightly in the night.
"Since you have awakened the Grand Momentum, you should understand that in battles between martial artists, besides tangible techniques, there is also the clash of intangible momentum. Ordinary people stand in front of a thousand-foot dangerous peak and feel awe—this is the mountain’s momentum; before a rushing torrent, one feels fear—this is the water’s momentum; with a single glance, a master can make ordinary people’s hearts tremble—this is the difference in momentum between two individuals."
Shui Linglong turned around and began to walk towards the precipice calmly, saying: "In a clash between masters, the side with weaker momentum loses three parts from the start. If you have firm determination, then all things under heaven will bow at your feet. At that moment, you are the king. Destruction and survival lie within a single thought!"
Buzz!
A fiery aura rose up from Shui Linglong, and in an instant, a flaming figure formed behind her. The figure had eight arms, and its appearance was nine-tenths like Shui Linglong, but with flame eyes, cold and emotionless, possessing an innate arrogance.
And at the instant the shadow formed, a terrifying aura erupted from Shui Linglong, grand and imposing, causing Luo Feng standing beside her to instinctively tense up.
"King is Invincible!"
With a cold shout, Shui Linglong punched out, unleashing a violent flare.
Boom!
The mountain quivered, and in Luo Feng’s shocked gaze, half of the mountain cleaved open and instantly shattered completely. The fragmented rocks burned in mid-air like meteors and crashed down, raising massive waves in Yao Light Lake.
This is the power of the fourth stage of the Sky Fire King Fist ’King is Invincible’!
Luo Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"The power of the Sky Fire King Fist is enough to rival earth-level inferior-grade fist techniques. However, only by cultivating the fourth stage, forming the Floating Slaughter Demon Image, is it the true Sky Fire King Fist. Otherwise, it’s nothing but an inferior Profound Level supreme-grade fist technique. Having achieved Spirit and Flesh Unity, if you can achieve mastery in the Sky Fire King Fist, there will be few below the ninth rotation of the Spiritual Rotation Realm who can threaten you."
Shui Linglong looked at Luo Feng with beautiful eyes, and suddenly took out a dark red spear, tossing it effortlessly.
With a clang, the spear embedded itself into the nearby rock wall, more than halfway in.
Walking behind Luo Feng, Shui Linglong said slowly: "This spear is a second-tier Spirit Weapon."
While Luo Feng was unclear about the intent behind Shui Linglong’s actions, a soft, tender body pressed against him, and slender fingers tightly clasped around his right hand.
"Even if your body crashes directly onto the spear tip, it will be pierced immediately." Shui Linglong’s warm breath sounded in Luo Feng’s ear.
"What do you mean?"
Luo Feng was puzzled.
At that moment, Shui Linglong suddenly clasped her right hand with Luo Feng’s. With a point of her toe, their figures instantly flew towards the rock wall, heading straight for the coldly gleaming spear tip of the second-tier Spirit Weapon!
"Sister Linglong, stop!" Luo Feng said in shock.
The weapon before them was not an ordinary weapon but a second-tier Spirit Weapon!
If they recklessly charged forth, both he and Shui Linglong would surely be severely injured.
Shui Linglong had no intention of stopping, in fact, she even quickened her pace slightly.
"Destroy it!"
"Destroy it with all your might!"
"You can definitely destroy it!"
Shui Linglong’s highly penetrating voice exploded in Luo Feng’s mind.
