Chapter 355 Golden Body Without Flaws [6k, Second Update!]

"His strength is adequate, but he's using too much rigidity and lacks flexibility."

Li Wen walked up to him, looking down at him.

"The 'Heavenly Wolf Hundred-Break Blade' is the most flexible and adaptable secret technique among SSS-level secret techniques, and its aim is to break the enemy's weaknesses."

The enemy's weaknesses are not static; if one cannot adapt during battle, how can one seize those fleeting vulnerabilities?

Li Tianlang gritted his teeth: "Again!"

"That's enough for today," Li Wen shook his head. "We'll continue tomorrow. I should start cultivating now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Li Tianlang had no choice but to get up reluctantly and walk with a limp towards the medicinal bath area on the side of the training field.

There, Yue Linfei, Zhou Xian, Li Suifeng, Luo Feng, Sun Liu, Wang Lin and others were already soaking in the pool, all of them grimacing and covered in bruises.

"Old Li, you got wrecked by Little Li again?" Yue Linfei grinned, but the movement aggravated the bruises on his face, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Aren't you the same?" Li Tianlang said irritably, taking off his clothes and jumping into the pool.

The warm medicinal liquid enveloped my entire body, and I immediately felt much of the soreness relieved.

"Little Li is really ruthless. He's like a completely different person since he came back from the alien race," Zhou Xian said lazily, leaning against the pool. "I've never been this tired in my life."

"But the progress is really significant," Li Suifeng said earnestly. "I feel that my blood circulation is 30% smoother than before, and my control over my strength is also much more refined."

"Nonsense, how could I not improve when I get beaten up by top-tier warriors every day?" Luo Feng scratched his head. "It just hurts too much."

"It's better to be in pain than to die," Wang Lin said calmly. "Don't forget, we're highly sought after now."

The bounties offered by the alien races are terrifyingly high. If I don't become stronger as soon as possible, I won't even know how I died one day.

Everyone fell silent.

"I wonder how Old Xu is doing now," Li Tianlang suddenly whispered. "He's all alone in that godforsaken place—"

"He's stronger and smarter than us," Yue Linfei patted him on the shoulder. "All we can do is not hold him back."

"Yes," Sun Liu nodded, "Get stronger, and then—fuck those alien races!"

The group exchanged smiles, their eyes igniting with fighting spirit.

Three hours later.

"Hurry! Faster! Are you taking a walk?!"

Blue Eagle, wielding a dark red metal whip, roared fiercely at the edge of the gravity field.

In the arena, Li Tianlang and others are carrying specially made weighted backpacks that are half a person tall, sprinting and dodging through a gravity chamber full of obstacles and virtual traps.

Each of them carries a "gravity regulator" that automatically adjusts the gravity ratio according to their individual tolerance limits.

Sweat had already soaked through his combat uniform, and his breathing was heavy and labored.

"Damn it—this Professor Lan really wants to kill us!"

Li Tianlang gritted his teeth and barely dodged a paralyzing beam of light that suddenly shot out from the ground, but he didn't dare to slow down his pace at all.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Blue Eagle let out a cold shout.

He was ordered by headquarters to personally train these seeded players.

The method is simple and brutal: squeeze to the limit, and then push the limit even further.

"Do you think this is child's play? Xu Feng is fighting desperately on the front lines, killing alien peak masters one after another."

You, his friends, are his biggest weakness!

Your names are now on the alien bounty list. If you don't want to be kidnapped and used for the bounty someday, train like crazy!

Before he finished speaking, he lashed out with his long whip in mid-air!

Snapped!

A visible burst of crimson energy exploded outwards.

The blow landed precisely on Sun Liu's back, who was moving a little slower, causing him to stagger.

"Too slow! On the battlefield, that's enough to kill you three times over!"

Sun Liu grunted, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he roared and increased his speed even more.

"Good! That shows some backbone!"

A hint of approval flashed in Blue Eagle's eyes, but he still didn't mince words.

"Attention everyone! In thirty seconds, a virtual high-ranking alien lord will be randomly projected!"

Hold out for ten minutes under his attack, then begin the countdown!

This kind of training doesn't give them any chance to fight back; it boils down to one word—"escape!"

"Damn it!" Wang Leng cursed, and immediately began to adjust his breathing.

They have spent the past month undergoing this hellish training.

Resources are plentiful, and medicines are unlimited.

Furthermore, top-tier ultimate warriors like Blue Eagle and Li Wen personally guide combat techniques and explain the profound meaning of "momentum".

The progress is visible to the naked eye.

Li Tianlang had already vaguely touched the threshold of the "limit", Yue Linfei's marksmanship was becoming more and more tricky and ruthless, and Zhou Xian's speed was even more astonishing.

Even Huang Sen, who was originally the weakest—

Uh, Huang Sen has been transferred.

But the remaining people, who were originally at the beginner level, have all firmly reached the peak of the beginner-level War God, and are only one step away from the intermediate level.

Those who were originally at the intermediate level have directly stepped into the advanced level.

Those who were originally at a higher level have even reached the threshold of the ultimate war god.

"Virtual projection generated! Type: Ironback Bear Clan Lord! Strength: High-Rank Lord! Begin!"

boom!

In the center of the training ground, light converged, and a three-zhang-tall bear-like projection, covered in black iron-like fur, solidified. It roared to the sky and pounced on the nine people!

The core area of ​​the manor, the backyard.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of continuous, intense striking echoed.

Lu Fei, dressed in a black training uniform with her long hair tied in a ponytail, was practicing with her daughter, Xu Xiaodan.

No, to be more precise, it was unilateral "guidance".

Xu Xiaodan's face was flushed, and her hair was soaked with sweat, but she gritted her teeth and charged at Lu Fei again and again.

Her boxing skills were already quite impressive; her footwork was agile, her punches were swift, and she subtly carried the "ruthless" style of Xu Feng.

Lu Fei simply parried and dodged casually, occasionally giving Xu Xiaodan a gentle push or pull, causing her to stumble backward.

"Unsteady footwork! Unbalanced center of gravity! When you throw a punch, you wobble three times before you even throw it, how can you possibly hurt anyone?"

-

Lu Fei's voice was stern.

Xu Xiaodan took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and charged forward again.

This time, she suddenly changed her move halfway through her punch, turning it into a palm strike and slashing diagonally at Lu Fei's ribs!

"what?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fei's eyes, and she slightly turned her body.

Dodging the palm strike, he pressed his right hand down on Xu Xiaodan's shoulder.

Xu Xiaodan groaned and was forced to kneel on one knee.

But she reacted extremely quickly, bracing herself with her left hand and sweeping her right leg like a whip towards Lu Fei's lower body!

"good!"

Lu Fei gave a thumbs-up and lightly leaped away.

Upon landing, he saw that Xu Xiaodan had already taken the opportunity to create distance and assume a defensive stance.

"That's interesting," Lu Fei laughed. "Did you learn this trick from your dad?"

Xu Xiaodan wiped her sweat and said proudly, "I came up with it myself! My dad said that you can't be rigid when fighting, you have to be adaptable."

""

"That's right," Lu Fei nodded, "but your foundation isn't solid enough."

Starting tomorrow, I will add two hours of stance training every day to stabilize my lower body.

"Huh?" Xu Xiaodan said with a pained expression.

"What?!" Lu Fei stared wide-eyed. "Look at Kong Kong."

Beside him, Kongkong was half-squatting on the artificial hill, his eyes closed, his body radiating a faint golden halo.

It has now broken through to the mid-level beast general. Although its size has not increased, its aura is as solid as a mountain, and its fur is as shiny as golden silk.

Even more astonishingly, it was actually attempting to cultivate—though the divine ape clan had a tradition, it was rather crude.

What it is practicing now is the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Skill - New Edition", which was jointly adapted by Xu Feng and Professor Li.

Kongkong was extremely intelligent and actually started practicing on his own, making rapid progress.

"Kongkong is almost a mid-level beast general, and you still have the nerve to slack off?" Lu Fei said.

Xu Xiaodan pouted, but didn't refute.

She knew she had to become stronger.

It's not just so I won't hold my dad back, but also so that one day I can truly stand beside him and fight alongside him.

"Mom, let's do it again!" Her eyes were determined.

A hint of relief flashed in Lu Fei's eyes: "Okay."

The mother and daughter clashed again.

On the artificial hill, Kongkong slowly opened his eyes, a hint of human worry flashing in his golden pupils.

It looked northwest, towards the Kunlun Mountains.

Although it was far away, it could vaguely sense that the leader was currently in great danger.

"Squeak squeak".

It let out two soft cries, closed its eyes again, and began to cultivate even more diligently.

Become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can we help the leader like Brother Kun, Brother Snake, and Brother Bai.

Xiaoqingqiong Mountain.

Lei Juefeng.

Lei Fei looked at Lei Ying, who strode in quickly: "What did the envoy say?"

"Envoy Youquan has agreed," Lei Ying said, "but he requires that our actions be clean" and that there be no losses.

Envoy Ling Feng then warned that Great Xia has seen a surge of geniuses in recent years, and there are several formidable figures below the Star God Realm, urging you to be extremely careful.

"A troublesome person?" Lei Fei sneered. "Besides that human Xu Feng, who else can catch my eye?"

"Perfect timing! On this trip, we'll take the heads of a few human geniuses to offer as a sacrifice to Red Pheasant, and also—while we're at it—give Kaneki a good talking-to."

A calculating glint flashed in his eyes: "Isn't Jinmu always saying he wants to kill Xu Feng and avenge the people who have been harmed by the human race?"

He was put in charge of this operation.

If he makes excuses, then he has ulterior motives.

If he really dares to go—to the Great Xia, someone will naturally "treat him well."

Lei Ying understood: "Peak Master, are you planning to—use someone else to do your dirty work?"

"It's his own choice to avenge humanity; what does it have to do with me?"

Lei Fei said indifferently.

"Go to the Seventh Peak immediately and give the order: three days later, I will depart with him for the border of Great Xia. Tell him to prepare."

"yes!"

Thousand Caves Mountain, Fourth Gangfeng Cave.

Xu Feng sat cross-legged, the skull tempering process reaching a critical moment.

This time, he obtained five more Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pills from Envoy Ling Feng.

The medicinal power of the Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pill is like a gentle stream, seeping into the deepest parts of the skull—the frontal bone, parietal bone, occipital bone, and occipital bone.

Especially the cranial cavity, which protects the brain, must be tempered with utmost care.

The fierce wind could not sway him.

Xu Feng did not continue to the third cave, where the wind was even stronger, but stayed in the fourth cave to hone his skills slowly.

He was completely absorbed in his own mind, looking inward at himself.

Inside the skull, pale golden patterns spread slowly like plant roots, gradually giving the originally grayish-white bones a jade-like luster.

Even more remarkably, as the tempering deepened, he felt that his five senses, thinking speed, and even the precision of his mental control were gradually improving.

Skull tempering not only strengthens defense, but also affects the soul!

However, after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Only three pieces left—what a pity."

The pills were far from enough, and the precious medicines were all used up.

Only the red pheasant's corpse was still being drained of nutrients and blood by the divine tree, nourishing him to rapidly refine his body.

This deep-seated nourishment cannot be tapped into the body's potential by the strong winds of the fourth cave alone.

He turned and walked out of the cave, looking towards the third cave higher up.

"It needs to go even higher!"

The third hole is located at the bottom of the triangular shape, but the gushing wind is no longer simply bluish-black.

Interspersed within the wind blades were tiny, pale golden particles—"Golden Fiends".

It was a fragment of wind-attribute energy that formed naturally between heaven and earth, incomparably sharp, capable of easily piercing through steel.

Deeper inside, a faint, low rumble of thunder could be heard emanating from the cave.

That was the "Void Thunder Sound" generated by the friction of the gale against space, which directly shook the soul.

The storms in the second and first holes were even more terrifying, with the light at the entrances turning a dark purple and pure black.

It seemed to be connected to some source of destruction.

Feeling the surging blood and qi within his body, Xu Feng no longer hesitated, and with a flash, he sped towards the third cave.

Even when we were still ten feet away from the cave, the violent wind pressure was already hitting us!

The air was filled with a strong metallic odor, the smell of metal being rubbed together by the gale.

A needle-like pain came from the surface of my skin.

"Such strong penetrating power!"

Xu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but his resolve only grew stronger.

He swayed and suddenly grew nine inches taller, activating the "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" and the "Heavenly Roc Fighting Dragon Technique." His pale golden blood and qi erupted, condensing into a thin, yet incredibly tough, golden protective membrane on his body.

At the same time, the divine tree in his sea of ​​consciousness crackled with lightning, its silver light scattering down to form a second line of mental defense.

"Enter!"

He took a step forward and disappeared into the entrance of the third cave.

boom-!!!

Xu Feng felt as if he had stepped into a boiling metal furnace!

As far as the eye could see, there was only a raging dark golden storm!

Countless tiny golden particles spun, collided, and exploded at high speed in the wind, producing a teeth-grinding friction and popping sound.

Even more terrifying is the omnipresent "Void Thunder Sound," like billions of fine needles piercing straight into the sea of ​​consciousness!

Even with the divine tree protecting him, Xu Feng still felt a sudden dizziness, and his blood circulation became momentarily sluggish.

Chi Chi Chi -!

The next moment, countless golden fragments struck the golden protective membrane on his body like a torrential rain!

Each golden aura contained terrifying penetrating power, causing the protective membrane to vibrate violently and its light to flicker erratically!

In just three breaths, the protective film surface was covered with dense dents, as if it would collapse at any moment!

Hang in there!

Xu Feng gritted his teeth and focused all his energy on circulating his inner energy.

Within his dantian, the drop of "Heavenly Roc True Blood" obtained from Jin Yuyi trembled slightly, emanating an ancient and domineering will.

With the support of this will, the protective membrane on his body suddenly solidified by three points, turning from pale gold to dark gold, and he withstood the first wave of impact from the Golden Fiend Storm!

However, the cost is a sharp increase in the consumption of qi and blood.

"We cannot remain passively defensive—we must actively guide the market!"

A resolute glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes. He slowly withdrew some of his protective qi and blood, allowing a small number of golden sha fragments to penetrate his defenses and strike his body!

Puff puff!

Dozens of fine, bloody cuts were instantly torn from the skin!

Golden blood seeped out, but the moment it came into contact with the golden evil, it was "hammered" by that sharp energy and forcibly pushed back into the body, where it merged more deeply with the bones and muscles!

pain!

The pain was more intense than any previous tempering!

If it were an ordinary martial artist, their physical body would have collapsed long ago, but Xu Feng's Heavenly Roc Sacred Body was already close to perfection, so he withstood this erosion and transformed it into an aid to tempering!

"That's the feeling—"

Despite the excruciating pain, Xu Feng sat down cross-legged and focused his mind on his body.

He guided the penetrating golden energy along specific meridian routes, surging towards the last three unrefined skull bones: the sphenoid, ethmoid, and vomer.

These three bones are located deep within the skull, with an intricate and complex structure. They are closely connected to the brain, sensory organs, and nerves, making them the most difficult and risky to refine.

The slightest mistake could lead to blindness, deafness, or even mental impairment.

But high risk also means high reward.

Once the tempering is complete, and his golden skin and jade bones are fully connected, his head will have no weaknesses.

The five senses, thinking, and reaction speed will all be elevated to a whole new level!

"Using the wind as a hammer, the fierce as a chisel, and blood as fire—forge!"

Xu Feng gave a low shout and focused all his energy on circulating his inner energy.

Amidst the dark golden gale, he stood motionless, like a golden sculpture, unmoved by the raging storm.

The skin is constantly being torn apart and then constantly healing.

Golden blood seeped out, evaporated, and then sawed out again, forming a thin layer of golden scabs on the skin's surface, which were then scraped away by new wind blades.

Time passed slowly amidst this extreme pain.

One day, two days, three days —

Xu Feng was completely immersed in the tempering process, forgetting everything in the outside world.

Inside the body, the last three skull fragments, under the hammering of the golden demon, slowly and steadily acquired a jade-like luster.

Deep within the skull, some kind of constraint is being broken little by little.

On Jinpeng Peak.

Xiaofeng paced anxiously outside the secret room.

People from Lei Jue Peak have come to urge them for the fourth time.

But the peak master still didn't make a move.

However, he knew that Xu Feng's cultivation must have reached a critical stage, otherwise he wouldn't have remained hidden for three days in a row.

Double Pupil held a bow in one hand and stood patiently on the mountainside.

Redbeard, his face cold, fiddled with a formation.

Yanshan sat cross-legged in front of the cave entrance.

Cangya stood not far away with his arms crossed, but Silvermane, the one with the best agility, was nowhere to be seen.

Lei Ying, the envoy from Lei Juefeng, watched this scene and sneered, "Very well, so this is how your Golden Roc Peak responds to the envoy's orders, is that it?"

The newcomer, Bicui, shrank back, frowned, and remained silent, only looking at Xiaofeng.

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, turned around, clasped his hands, and said, "Please ask Brother Lei Ying to reply to Peak Master Lei Jue. My Peak Master has reached a critical moment in his cultivation. His seclusion will last for a period of time."

If we disturb you rashly and it affects our peak master's cultivation, we cannot bear the consequences.

"If Peak Master Lei Jue is in a hurry, you may set off first. We will notify you immediately once my Peak Master emerges from seclusion."

Raikage coldly said, "What kind of bullshit logic is this? I—"Alright!"

Just then, Qingxuan's figure suddenly descended from the sky, and beside him, Yinzong nodded slightly to Xiaofeng.

After exchanging glances, all the experts present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Peak Master Qingxuan." Lei Ying's face flashed with apprehension as he clasped his hands in greeting to Qingxuan.

"Since Jinmu has reached a critical juncture in his cultivation, let's not disturb him."

Go back and tell the Raikage that it is he who needs Kaneki's assistance, not the other way around. Therefore, if he can't wait any longer, he can leave first.

Lei Ying's expression immediately froze: "This..."

"That's the answer," Qingxuan said calmly. "What, do I need to say it again?"

Lei Ying immediately clasped his hands in a helpless gesture: "Yes, I understand."

He then turned and left.

On the morning of the fourth day.

Deep inside the third cave.

Xu Feng guided the last of the medicinal power, directing it towards the crucial area in the center of the crown of the head known as the "Lingtai Bone".

This is the nexus where spirit and body meet. Once tempering is complete, golden skin and jade bones will be fully integrated throughout the body, achieving "…".

"The Heavenly Roc Holy Body, a golden body that does not reveal itself!"

At that time, his physical body will have no weaknesses, and his defense, recovery ability, and power transmission efficiency will all experience a qualitative leap!

Time passed little by little.

Xu Feng's aura grew increasingly profound, and the pale golden patterns beneath his skin faintly revealed a jade-like luster, making him resemble a work of art on the verge of completion.

At one point, a buzzing sound rang out!

Inside his skull, his spiritual core suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light!

The golden light instantly spread along the bone structure to the entire skull, and then spread down the spine, penetrating the limbs and bones!

boom!

Xu Feng's blood and qi erupted involuntarily, and a pale golden aura soared into the sky, even briefly forcing the gale back!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with golden light, like two small suns, which lingered for several breaths before slowly receding.

"It's done!"

Xu Feng exhaled a long breath, his breath long and deep like a dragon's.

He slowly got up, stretched his neck, and his bones emitted a clear, resonant sound like a dragon's roar, which could be clearly heard even in the raging wind.

Upon internal inspection, the last three bones of the skull—the sphenoid, ethmoid, and vomer—have completely transformed into a pale golden jade-like substance!

At this point, all 206 bones in his body had been tempered and refined!

Golden skin and jade bones, perfectly integrated!

hum!

An invisible wave emanated from his body, briefly forcing the surrounding gale back three feet!

Beneath the skin, pale golden patterns meander like living things, eventually converging at the chest to form a faint roc spreading its wings totem.

"The Heavenly Roc Sacred Body, the Flawless Golden Body—is complete."

Xu Feng clenched his fist, feeling the seemingly endless power surging within him.

Although the Qi and Blood value is still stuck at the limit of 20.

However, the strength of the physical body and the speed of blood and qi recovery have both increased by at least 50% compared to before!

More importantly, defense.

Even without using his qi and blood to protect himself, he can withstand attacks with his bare body, and ordinary pseudo-divine weapons would have difficulty breaking through his defenses.

If one were to fully activate the Heavenly Roc Sacred Body, one could withstand several ordinary attacks from a Star God Realm Level 1!

"If we were to face Lei Bao now—two moves would be enough to kill him."

A hint of confidence flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.

But he knew that wasn't enough.

According to Qingxuan, Lei Fei has already tempered 99% of his bones and is only one step away from becoming a Star God.

But that was several years ago.

No one knows what level Lei Fei is at now.

Judging from his domineering attitude in front of the envoy, he must have already broken through his cultivation level.

Who knows, he may have also reached the pinnacle of body refinement, just one step away from becoming a Star God.

Furthermore, he cultivates the Way of Thunder, making his offensive power extremely strong.

Xu Feng looked out of the cave, his eyes flashing with golden light.

"It's time to go back."

He flashed out of the third cave and sped down towards the foot of Thousand Caves Mountain.
