In the dead of night, within the living room.
Hong and Thunder God seemed entranced, staring intently at the screens of their communication watches, carefully reading the secret martial cultivation manual of the Yinfeng Star Clan just sent by Luo Feng.
“Heaven! So this is how the power is generated,” murmured Thunder God. “Wrong! Compared to this, my ‘Nine Layers of Thunder Blade’ is far inferior.”
“I see now!” Hong’s eyes gleamed with fascination as he devoured the secret manuscript.
Luo Feng remarked from the side, “The foundation of cultivation is of utmost importance. If you seek the swiftest advancement from the very start, it will lead to an unstable foundation, making the breakthroughs from Planet Level 9th Stage to Star Level, and from Star Level 9th Stage to Cosmic Level exceedingly arduous. The foundation must be unshakable! Sigh, are the two of you even paying attention?”
This was something Babata had insisted Luo Feng must say.
“Alright, alright, Younger Brother. We started learning martial arts long before the Great Nirvana Period. Of course we know the importance of a solid foundation,” Thunder God waved dismissively. “This manual is just too, too amazing. Don’t interrupt me while I’m reading.”
“You guys…” Luo Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
“Truly an amazing manual,” Hong looked up at Luo Feng, his face filled with excitement. “Luo Feng, this is definitely the most comprehensive manual I’ve ever seen, explaining everything from the basics to the advanced. Even the so-called ‘intentions’ that must be understood and cannot be taught are described clearly. It’s incredible.”
Luo Feng smiled.
Of course it’s incredible, do you know whose clan this manual belongs to? This is from the Yinfeng Star Clan! First of all, the Master of Yinfeng Star has nine immortal servants under his command! Just the manuals contributed by those nine immortals are already amazing. Not to mention how many years the Master of Yinfeng Star has spent deliberately collecting these techniques.
In the universe, these are top-tier manuals!
For Hong and Thunder God, who had been groping in the dark and creating their own manuals, their self-invented manuals could not even begin to compare with the Yinfeng Star manual!
Take for example, “power generation.”
The highest power generation in the “Nine Layers of Thunder Blade” is sevenfold, and the body’s defense cannot be enhanced simultaneously.
However!
The theoretical limit of power generation for the physical body is one hundredfold! Only then can the body’s potential be fully unleashed!
In other words, the brute strength of an ordinary Earth warrior is merely 1% of the body’s potential. Even the highest level of the “Nine Layers of Thunder Blade” only utilizes 7%. To reach the theoretical maximum of 100% potential, generating 100 times the power! It’s difficult, extremely difficult.
Even a World Lord would find it hard to achieve!
Just like ‘brain breadth,’ which is essentially the degree of brain development. Luo Feng’s brain breadth was previously 22, meaning his brain development was at 22%, while the average Earth person reaching 1% is considered good. Reaching 60% (brain breadth 60) or 70% (brain breadth 70) is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
“Haha, you two keep reading. But remember, under no circumstances should it be shared,” Luo Feng said seriously.
“Didn’t we swear during the ceremony to join the Yinfeng Star Clan? Don’t worry,” Thunder God chuckled, and Hong nodded in agreement.
…
In the private virtual space, the Blood Castle, within the training room.
Clad in a flowing black robe, Babata perched atop the desk, casually twirling an apple in one hand as he cast a sidelong glance at Luo Feng. “Well, well, Luo Feng,” he remarked with a knowing smirk. “Hong and Thunder God possess remarkable enlightenment. Without any formal manuals, they’ve managed to cultivate their own domains—capable of amplifying their power six to sevenfold. Now that they have the manual, their strength is bound to skyrocket in no time!”
“I know,” Luo Feng replied, holding the book “Soul Seal” without even lifting his head.
“Hey, aren’t you even a bit worried?” Babata’s blood-red eyes widened, his fangs showing.
“Snap!”
Luo Feng closed the book, turned to Babata: “What do you want to say, just say it.”
“You’re no fun at all,” Babata pouted. “It’s simple. Do you still remember… what I told you the first time you came here? Let me give you a hint, something about the basics.”
“Of course I remember. You told me back then… that it would take me a full 50 years to reach the first stage of Star Level,” Luo Feng smiled. “It was because of building a solid foundation. If I were to be rushed through training without regard for the foundation, I could reach the first stage of Star Level in just three years! But the cost would be that I would never reach the Cosmic Level.”
“Exactly,” Babata slightly raised his head. “But that was then, and this is now!”
“Huh?” Luo Feng raised his eyebrows.
“From Planet Level 9th Stage to Star Level 1st Stage, from Star Level 9th Stage to Cosmic Level 1st Stage, from Cosmic Level 9th Stage to Domain Master 1st Stage, and breaking through to World Lord! Each of these hurdles and bottlenecks represents a leap in life’s hierarchy. They are extremely, extremely difficult,” Babata smiled at Luo Feng. “So the foundation must be rock solid. However, the situation has changed now.”
“Changed?” Luo Feng suddenly understood.
“Now your foundation is your inner world!” Babata said. “As your inner world grows, there are no bottlenecks for your physical body’s growth.”
“I know.”
Luo Feng nodded. “My inner world needs to consume a large amount of metal to grow!”
My inner world is at the third stage of Star Level, so—my body, the Golden Horned Giant Beast body and the human body, both bodies and the soul can only reach the third stage of Star Level at most.
On the contrary, if my inner world grows to the first stage of Cosmic Level, then my soul and both bodies will not encounter bottlenecks and can continue to improve! At this time, it depends on talent. For example, the Golden Horned Giant Beast, once the inner world improves, the Golden Horned Giant Beast’s physical body follows. However, my human body, although there are no bottlenecks, still rises slowly step by step.
Even if the path is smooth, the ‘evolution’ speed of the human body is just too slow.
“Because your foundation is your ‘inner world,’ as long as the inner world grows, the physical body and soul will not have any bottlenecks or barriers.”
“So now, you can completely use the ‘cramming’ method to rapidly improve,” Babata said eagerly. “Improve your body as quickly and efficiently as possible!”
“Huh?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The limitation of his human body strength was the ‘limitation of the body.’
“From today on, stop using the metallic cosmic energy from your inner world,” Babata continued. “That cosmic energy is good, but it can’t compare to the ‘Muya Crystal.’ The Muya Crystal has powerful life force, and its efficiency in promoting life evolution is extremely high.”
Luo Feng naturally knew this.
He had personally witnessed a beast lord eating a Muya Crystal and immediately evolving into a king-level beast.
“Oh, of course, you still need to keep practicing the ‘Miscellaneous Chapters,’ ‘Control Chapters,’ and ‘Illusion Techniques,'” Babata said. “This relates to your secret combat techniques and control abilities.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded.
Even with strong power, one must be able to utilize it effectively.
“From today on, spend six parts of your time on combat techniques and control abilities, and four parts on the ‘cramming’ method of rapid physical evolution!” Babata decided. “This way, you can barely ensure that your combat skills keep up with your rapidly advancing strength.”
“Alright.”
Luo Feng was also looking forward to it.
Cramming for improvement?
…
Since then, Luo Feng has devoted himself daily to the secret techniques of the Yinfeng Star, combat control abilities, and of course, the cramming method to evolve his body! During the rest of his time, he occasionally sparred with Hong and Thunder God, which also continuously improved Luo Feng’s combat experience.
…
The summer of 2062 was scorching.
The vast Pacific Ocean shimmered with colorful lights under the sunlight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three figures burst through the sea and soared into the sky, laughing loudly: “Luo Feng, you stole my spotlight this time. Originally, I was going to kill that Thunder Dragon King decisively with one slash. But you, before I could even fly over, controlled your Dark Cloud Shuttle from afar and killed the Thunder Dragon King. Both the Eight-Armed Beast King and the Thunder Dragon King were taken by you alone.”
“Who asked you to be so slow,” Luo Feng joked.
“Hey, don’t gloat after getting the advantage! Come on, take this slash!” Thunder God shouted.
Boom~~
The surrounding sky and earth were filled with crackling electricity, and within the domain, Thunder God, holding a purplish-black war blade, had electric snakes coiling around the blade, resembling a divine weapon. Thunder God himself moved, leaving a blur as he lunged forward, his purplish-black war blade slashing out a thunderous bolt!
“Would I be afraid of you?” Luo Feng also laughed heartily.
32 blade pieces flew out directly, seemingly without any pattern, enveloping the area.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Each blade piece struck the purplish-black war blade in succession, as if guided by a master conductor, tapping, slicing, grazing, and entangling… various techniques quickly weakening the momentum of the purplish-black war blade. With a wave of his hand, the 32 blade pieces strung together like they were threaded, circling around Luo Feng’s body before accelerating again, entangling towards Thunder God!
“Damn.”
Thunder God felt as if he were facing the attacks of 32 experts, and the coordination among the 32 experts was perfect.
“Thunder Move!” Thunder God roared, his face slightly twisted with a hint of ferocity, his veins bulging.
Boom!
The purplish-black war blade in his hand exploded with sound, transforming into a massive thunder blade light like a waterfall, instantly disrupting the 32 blade pieces. The 32 blade pieces were knocked flying in all directions.
“Getting serious?” Luo Feng widened his eyes, his body moving into a dreamlike blur. At the same time, he growled, “Dark Cloud Shuttle – Swordfish Formation!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Out of the 32 blade pieces, two flew back to the Dark Cloud Shuttle under Luo Feng’s feet, while the remaining 30 blade pieces were vaguely spaced apart. In midair, the 30 blade pieces transformed into a rough outline of a ‘swordfish,’ with a fish mouth and tail, lifelike and eerie.
“Chi chi~~” Golden threads simultaneously flashed on the 30 blade pieces.
The golden threads connected with each other.
Instantly forming a golden swordfish! Like a fish, slightly swaying its tail, it moved eerily. The mouth of the swordfish was especially sharp.
“Stop!!!” Thunder God shouted.
“What? No more fighting?” Luo Feng hovered in midair, a golden swordfish floating beside him.
“Didn’t you crush me last time, do you want to crush me again?” Thunder God muttered, unable to help himself. “You’re really a monster. I’m already at Planet Level 9th Stage with a domain, yet I can’t even beat you. Brother is stronger than me, now even the little brat Sanzi is stronger than me. It’s infuriating, really infuriating!”
Luo Feng laughed.
Thunder God and Hong had improved quite a bit thanks to the manual.
Thunder God was a Planet Level 9th Stage warrior with one domain.
Hong was a Planet Level 8th Stage warrior with two domains.
In just over half a year, Luo Feng used the ‘cramming’ method to rapidly improve his physical strength from Planet Level 3rd Stage to 5th Stage. Naturally, his mental strength also increased by two stages.
Luo Feng was now a Planet Level 8th Stage mentalist, with an awareness strength of 32, and had already mastered the ultimate move—the ‘Swordfish Formation’ of the Dark Cloud Shuttle. It was precisely this Swordfish Formation that allowed Luo Feng to surpass Thunder God and be on par with Hong.
The Dark Cloud Shuttle has three forms.
The first form can be practiced when the amplification reaches 12.
The second form can be practiced when the amplification reaches 30.
The third form is the ultimate form, which can be practiced when reaching ‘Cosmic Level’ with one’s own domain and an amplification of 48.
Luo Feng’s awareness strength was 32. Through painstaking effort and constant practice, he finally achieved some proficiency in the attack form of the second form of the Dark Cloud Shuttle, the ‘Swordfish Formation.’ In terms of flexibility, power, mobility, etc., the second form ‘Swordfish Formation’ was much stronger than the first form ‘Drill Mountain Cone.’
Extremely powerful!
And much harder to master! Unlike the first form, which could be successfully used upon first attempt, Luo Feng had met the requirements for training long ago but had only just recently managed to master it.
