Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

It seems that this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has just been born; it possesses sentience, but not much of it.

Han Feng thought to himself.

Compared to the Xuanhuang Flame of her previous life, the current Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is as gentle as a maid in the house.

Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame still ranks higher, the Xuanhuang Flame has already achieved great spiritual maturity, possessing immense strength and being extremely cunning.

Recalling the arduous experience of subduing the Xuanhuang Flame in his previous life, Han Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Although obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame this time was a bit complicated, it was the fastest and easiest method available.

Han Feng cleared his mind of distractions, took out a Grade 6 Returning to Origin and Condensing Meridian Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The sixth-grade pill dissolved in his stomach, and its powerful medicinal force swept through his entire body, causing Han Feng's body to radiate a circle of bright yellow light.

The medicinal power spontaneously condenses within the body's vital energy channels, protecting the fragile meridians.

After the medicine took effect, Han Feng took out a pot of Ice Spirit Cold Spring and drank it all in one gulp.

Gurgling.

The extremely cold spiritual liquid transformed into pure, icy energy upon entering his mouth, rapidly spreading throughout Han Feng's body and freezing a layer of white frost on his surface.

"call!"

His breath turned to frost, white as a dragon in the smoke. Han Feng suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Perhaps because the attack was too sudden, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was caught off guard and its flame was directly seized by Han Feng, without even having a chance to play hide-and-seek.

Without giving it a chance to react, Han Feng swallowed the fire seed whole.

Gulu.

In an instant, blue flames erupted from Han Feng's body, and a large amount of cold air rose up, turning the cave into a misty fairyland in the blink of an eye.

Painful, suppressed groans emanated from the mist as time slowly passed.

Gudong, gudong, gudong.

About two days later, the sound of a heartbeat, strong and powerful, could be heard in the cave.

In the dreamlike sea of ​​mist, a patch of blue appeared and disappeared, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

Suddenly, Han Feng's voice rang out.

"Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, return to its place!"

hum!

The cyan flames moved as if controlled by an arm, directly creating a ripple of energy that dispelled all the mist inside the cave.

In the center of the cave, Han Feng sat cross-legged, with a blue and azure flame swirling around his body before merging into a single, icy-blue flame.

Han Feng looked at the icy blue lotus flames in front of him. At the heart of the lotus floated a heart of the ocean, transformed from the Sea Heart Flame. This was his new strange flame.

Azure Lotus Sea Heart Flame.

The effects of the "Burning Technique" did not disappoint Han Feng; he truly succeeded in merging two different strange flames into one.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is born from the Earth's core and possesses some of the power to manipulate the earth, capable of awakening the magma hidden deep within the Earth's core.

Born from the depths of the ocean, the Sea Heart Flame possesses the divine power to control the sea. In terms of sheer strength, the Sea Heart Flame surpasses the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

However, there is a reason why the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranks nineteenth.

First, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is very stable, and its lotus shape gives it considerable defensive capabilities.

Secondly, after absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Han Feng not only felt his life essence grow stronger, but his cultivation aptitude was also slowly recovering.

Stability, defense, life, and self-healing—these are the true values ​​of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Han Feng absorbed the strange fire into his body, and his fighting spirit surged in his hand.

"His battle qi quality has improved significantly, and his cultivation level has even broken through two stars, reaching the nine-star Dou Huang realm."

Han Feng was very satisfied.

After absorbing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the "Burning Technique" successfully advanced to a low-level Earth Rank technique and also provided a large amount of energy, helping Han Feng break through to the peak of the Dou Huang realm.

Originally, Han Feng planned to spend at least a year cultivating to reach the peak of Dou Huang. Now that he has saved so much time, he can plan how to advance to Dou Zong.

Having been reborn, Han Feng understood very well how important the Dou Zong realm was.

It is not only a watershed moment for cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent, but also an opportunity for humanity to defy fate and change its destiny.

Even if an ordinary Battle Emperor takes high-grade longevity pills, their lifespan is only between two and three hundred years.

Once one breaks through to the Dou Zong level, one can change their physique, reverse aging, and greatly extend their lifespan, making it no problem to live to five hundred years old.

What Han Feng valued was not the chance to reverse aging and significantly extend his lifespan, but rather the opportunity to change his own physical constitution.

The Dou Qi Continent is filled with countless physical constitutions, some innate and some acquired.

Some cultivators with average physical abilities are just waiting for the opportunity to break through to the Dou Zong level and reshape their physical bodies.

Of course, not everyone knows this method. Only powerful clans have the resources to do it. For rogue cultivators at the Dou Zong level, breaking through is a blessing, regardless of their physical constitution.

In his previous life, Han Feng possessed both top-notch aptitude and physique. When he broke through to the Dou Zong realm, Yao Chen still took him to a blessed land where he consumed top-grade medicinal herbs and used the power of heaven and earth to reshape his physical body.

Although this method was expensive and very troublesome, it had great benefits. After breaking through to the Dou Zong level, Han Feng did not encounter any bottlenecks and broke through to the Dou Zun level within five years, thus preserving his potential to challenge for the Dou Sheng level.

Therefore, Han Feng had already been planning how to break through to the Dou Zong realm.

We must find a blessed land and a high-quality medicinal herb, at least of grade eight.

As for physical constitution, it depends on fate. If you can't find any good materials, then you can condense a fire spirit body just like in your previous life.

After practicing the "Burning Technique" inside the cave for half an hour, Han Feng, now in peak condition, finally got up.

Chapter 28 The Holy City of the Serpents

Upon arriving outside the cave, Han Feng lightly leaped onto a sand dune, looking down at the yellow sand.

"Let's go to the snake people first."

Since Hai Bodong had already prepared most of the ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill, Han Feng would refine it for him.

The missing ingredient is a fifth-tier Sand Mandala.

They only grow in deserts and require geothermal energy, making them extremely rare.

Han Feng searched the Tagor Desert for nearly a month but didn't find a single one.

To find this Sand Mandala, one would probably have to venture deep into the territory of the Snake People.

Han Feng originally did not intend to cause any unnecessary trouble, because his main goal was to obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. If he stirred up the situation too much, it would not be good for him.

But things are different now. Not to mention that he has to repay Hai Bodong's favor, he has already obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and even finished refining it. So what if the situation is chaotic?

In fact, if I hadn't appeared, the future master of this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame would have been the Snake Queen Medusa.

Thinking about this, Han Feng actually felt a little embarrassed.

Did he snatch it away beforehand?

He shook his head, dismissing the naive idea from his mind.

Han Feng was no pedant; such things were all too common in the cultivation world. Foolishly waiting in one place wouldn't bring you any opportunities.

Cultivation is about struggling with oneself, struggling with others, and struggling with Heaven!

Han Feng's ability to remain calm and kind to others throughout his journey is ultimately due to his strength; otherwise, who would pay attention to him?

Only when you become strong can you set your own rules.

Han Feng opened the map and searched for the way to the Snake People's Holy City.

Such routes are not marked on ordinary maps, but the map provided by Hai Bodong is clearly depicted, and even some desert supply stations are marked.

It is estimated that this was arranged by Hai Bodong himself during his travels in the desert.

Han Feng spread his battle qi wings, transformed into a streak of light, and shot into the sky.

--------

Half a day later, Han Feng arrived in the center of the Tagor Desert.

"That's the Holy City of the Serpent People?"

Looking down from the sky, Han Feng saw a huge city built in the desert.

Towering city walls, patrolling snake soldiers, and soaring towers.

At least in terms of its grandeur, Han Feng felt that it truly deserved the title of Holy City.

Han Feng admired the view for a moment, then flew at high speed and arrived at the city gate of the Holy City.

"who?"

The snake-men guarding the city wall immediately became alert, and they all drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Han Feng, the uninvited guest.

Han Feng bowed respectfully.

"My name is Han Feng. I have come here to request an audience with Queen Medusa. May I ask which of you may inform her?"

"Humans, suffer death!"

One of the snake-man guards seemed to have an extreme hatred for humans, and immediately released the bowstring.

The arrows whistled out, seemingly prompting a reaction from the other snake-men; swish, swish, swish, countless arrows shot towards Han Feng.

Han Feng smiled faintly and snapped his fingers.

The exquisite spread of battle aura instantly controlled all the arrows, causing them to stop in mid-air and even slowly turning their arrowheads.

However, Han Feng did not shoot them out; he simply released them and let them fall.

"I'll go inform the adults. You all guard the city and don't let this human enter!"

A snake-man who appeared to be a squad leader gave orders to the snake soldiers guarding the city before hurriedly running into the city.

Han Feng stood quietly, without making any excessive moves.

Having witnessed Han Feng's strength, the snake-men dared not make any further moves, and the two sides remained deadlocked. The snake-man who had fired the first arrow was still glaring angrily at Han Feng, seemingly wanting to fire another arrow, but was stopped by his companion.

A moment later, a female snake-person with long, wine-red hair walked out of the city in a menacing manner, followed by the snake-person who had informed them of the situation.

"Sir, it's him."

The flower snake stared at Han Feng and asked, "Human, what brings you into my territory?"

Seeing that the visitor seemed to be someone he could talk to, Han Feng said, "I am an alchemist, and I have come to the Holy City to find a medicinal herb. I hope to get the help of Queen Medusa."

"Are you an alchemist?"

Flower Snake stared at Han Feng, unable to discern his true strength.

"Exactly."

"In that case, I will spare your life, but if you wish to see the Queen, you will likely have to wear this."

Flower Snake took out a pair of chains, a playful smile on her face.

Han Feng looked at the other party calmly, but in Hua She'er's eyes, this expression seemed like contempt.

"Humph!"

Hua She'er sneered, her fighting spirit wings unfurled behind her, and she pounced on Han Feng.

Han Feng gently shook his head, closed his eyes, and raised his hand.

Just as Hua She'er was about to touch his body, Han Feng's hand struck the chains with lightning speed, the powerful force causing Hua She'er to fall to the ground.

"Chains are useless."

Han Feng's indifferent voice rang out, and the chain in Hua She'er's hand turned into dust, drifting down in front of her.

The disheveled Flower Snake struggled to lift its body and instinctively retreated several feet.

"you!"

She hadn't expected that the human in front of her would possess such strength.

He, the newly crowned King of Fighters, couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.

Was she careless?
