Xie Feng’s appearance began to change slowly since he obtained the Ring of the God of Destruction. More than change, it would be more correct to say that his appearance began to improve, going from an average appearance to above average. However, Xie Feng’s mind was completely shaken when his appearance changed too abruptly just as he obtained the Pearl of Light.
If the change happened slowly, perhaps Xie Feng could still accept it and attribute it to anything, he would even look for a lame but sufficient reason to believe for himself instead of thinking that it was all because of a video game. But it was impossible for something like this to happen from one day to the next.
Now, on the flight from Shanghai to Beijing, when Xie Feng punched his fist against Mo Li’s chest to test the armor’s resistance, he was shocked and delighted to discover that his physical strength had practically doubled from what it was before!
Xie Feng knew very well how powerful his physical strength was, that’s why he could not believe that just like that, he had suddenly become stronger.
So, his appearance and physical strength had improved drastically, but what about his elemental strength?
Xie Feng was soon to find out whether a bold theory that had just popped into his mind not many hours ago was true or not!
"Yaoyao, stay here for a moment. I’ll come for you soon, okay?"
"Eh?" Xie Yao blinked in confusion. Before she could realize it, Xie Feng had already pulled her down from the safety of his arms.
Xie Feng waved a hand and a sphere of wind enveloped Xie Yao, completely surrounding her leaving no weak angles. The barrier was created casually by Xie Feng but the power of defense and impact resistance was powerful enough to withstand missile attacks for a full hour without faltering.
Moreover, the barrier was created in such a way that Xie Yao could see everything from the inside but from the outside, no one could see her. In fact, even the barrier was created to be almost invisible. By using different gusts of wind constantly, from other people’s point of view they would see the wind dancing in the area, but that’s all. Even then, from such a height, it would be rare for someone to manage to see too much from the ground.
"Big brother Xie Feng? What are you going to do?" Xie Yao asked as she extended a hand and clung tightly to his arm.
Although she didn’t know why but, she felt that what Xie Feng was about to do was dangerous.
Xie Feng smiled bitterly inwardly... Even without doing anything and showing nothing on the outside, Xie Yao could still know that his next move would be dangerous.
With a soft kiss on her forehead, Xie Feng pressed his face to hers and while looking into her eyes, whispered, "Don’t worry, silly girl. Although what I’m going to do now is a bit annoying, I wouldn’t risk my life foolishly knowing that by doing so I would also be risking yours. Do you trust me? Do you believe in me?"
"I trust you more than I trust myself..." Feeling the warmth of his body next to hers, Xie Yao slowly closed her eyes and whispered softly.
How could she not trust him when she knew he put her safety above all else? Finally, Xie Yao’s grip on Xie Feng slowly relaxed until she finally let go.
Feeling that the nervous Xie Yao had finally calmed down a bit, Xie Feng couldn’t help but kiss her lips softly.
"I’ll be back soon..."
When Xie Yao opened her eyes again, there was no one in front of her... She could only hear a whisper in her ear before everything fell silent once again.
Looking around her surroundings, all Xie Yao saw were gray clouds beneath her feet, the faint light of the city piercing through certain parts of the cloud and, as she looked up at the sky, thousands of stars greeted her eyes.
Although she was alone, she was not afraid... Because she was sure that Xie Feng would return soon.
Because he told her so.

After leaving Xie Yao in a safer place, Xie Feng moved at several hundred kilometers per hour as he flew away from the area. He flew for ten minutes before finally stopping.
With his feet treading on the void, Xie Feng looked at his surroundings and made sure that he had moved far enough away from Xie Yao before finally looking back up at the sky.
Xie Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. Then, with a determined look, he flew at full speed into the sky!
500 km / h
800 km / h
1000 km / h!
Xie Feng soon exceeded 10 kilometers in altitude from the ground and left the Troposphere, but even then he did not stop and continued to push his speed forward vigorously!
Upon entering the Ozone Layer, Xie Feng clearly felt the change in his surroundings but he did not stop even for a second and continued to move forward.
Surpassing 25 kilometers in altitude, Xie Feng surpassed the Ozone Layer and entered the Stratosphere.
It was at this point that Xie Feng began to feel his body become abnormally hot. He clenched his teeth, because Xie Feng finally knew that his physical body could only withstand so much, so he immediately created a fine layer of wind surrounding every part of his body and continued to fly upwards.
From afar, Xie Feng was like a small space rocket as he could be seen from various points in the city as a point of fire flying into outer space.
As Xie Feng expected, many people in the Chinese government became agitated at the discovery of an unidentified flying object flying over the skies of Beijing. In response, several drones and unmanned aircraft were sent to inspect the immediate area.
Xie Feng didn’t care what the Chinese government did, because he didn’t have time to worry about it now.
Upon surpassing 50 kilometers in altitude, Xie Feng passed the Stratosphere and officially entered the Mesosphere.
Boom!
When Xie Feng entered the fourth earth layer, a strong explosion shook his surroundings. This explosion was caused by Xie Feng himself!
After breaking the speed of sound, a shock wave would automatically be generated behind the object causing the explosion, creating a match cone behind its back. In short, Xie Feng was actually moving at approximately 1300 km / h!
After surpassing 85 kilometers high from the ground, Xie Feng crossed the Mesosphere... Now he was inside the Thermosphere.
This meant that Xie Feng was more than 85,000 meters above the ground!
But he did not stop and continued flying straight up! His goal was something that no human being had ever achieved!
But Xie Feng still had to overcome the last and largest layer surrounding the planet Earth before he could achieve that goal and confirm his thoughts.

Russia was known as one of the most powerful nations in the world for centuries. Being the most nuclear armed country on planet Earth and also possessing one of the largest and most powerful armies in the world.
However, recently, the reason Russia was being watched by the masses was because the creator of the 100% immersive virtual reality video game Samsara Online lived there.
-In an unknown area of Russia.
Winds caressed the treetops making them dance softly, snow fell from the sky and covered the earth with a thick layer of pure white, animals that loved the cold came out of their caves while other smaller ones hid in subway caves to protect themselves from the low temperatures.
In an area far away from everyone, an area which might not be visited by humans for decades, there was one person there.
This person was the size of a small girl of about 10 years old. Although her body was small, her face was so beautiful that it did not lose in the slightest to Shen Xinya’s beauty!
"Lalala~"
The little girl kept humming as her small hands moved through the snow, creating a small mountain, then another smaller one, then another even smaller than the previous two.
She was creating a snowman.
She was always bored when she had to be in that place. But since she wanted to help to support the burdens that weighed on the shoulders of the most important person to her, she finally decided to stay in this place.
"Ah! I finally finished. Now you’ll have to come with me while I’m here!" The girl pointed to the snowman and bent down to pick up the last missing piece; the nose of the snowman.
"Eh?" Suddenly, the little girl’s movements stopped and she unconsciously looked to the south.
South of Russia was China.
The little girl’s pretty dark eyes blinked several times as if she was confused. Soon, however, the girl’s face changed slightly and she stood up quickly.
Plaf!
Unfortunately, the little snowman was hit by the careless girl and was knocked down.
Although the girl looked at it with pity, finally she clenched her teeth and muttered:
"This person really is crazy!"
Then, the little girl banged her little fist in front of her and something amazing happened.
Bang!
As if a glass window had broken, the part the girl had just hit cracked, and instead of snow, trees, and animals; what was there was a dark void.
The girl quickly stepped forward and entered the strange passage.
When the girl disappeared from the place, everything went back to normal.
The only proof that she had been there was a snowman, now destroyed.
