Chapter 231 Palm Technique Perfected, Mid-Rank War God!
"This fruit is called the Ice Heart Green Fruit. Its main function is to cleanse and refine the soul, and it can also improve one's blood and qi."
Senior Yin gave a brief introduction.
Hearing this, Xu Feng grinned, feeling quite satisfied.
Although he didn't get everything he wanted, he was very content.
Before leaving, Senior Yin asked curiously, "By the way, I see that both beasts have broken through to the Lord level."
"But it's only been a short time since your last breakthrough, how did you manage to do that?"
Xu Feng truthfully replied, "After I cultivated the Beast Taming Secret Technique to perfection, it exhibited special effects."
This secret technique not only deepened my spiritual connection with the three beasts, but also allowed us to complement each other's vital energy.
Senior Yin blinked his big eyes slightly: "I see. Alright, you can go now, I'm tired."
"This junior takes his leave." Xu Feng clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave.
Soon, Ah She and Ah Kun followed him out of the cave.
But after Xu Feng left...
Senior Yin's huge, previously closed eyes suddenly opened, a hint of surprise in them: "Deepened spiritual connection, mutual replenishment of qi and blood? Does the Beast Taming Technique have such an ability?"
However, after thinking for a while, he still didn't get any answers: "Never mind, this kid has a lot of mysterious qualities, so if I can't figure it out, I'll just leave it at that."
The Sichuan cuisine, however, was unforgettable. Hmm, I'm already looking forward to what I'll eat next time.
After returning to the base, Xu Feng cultivated steadily for a few days, adjusted his condition, and prepared to consume the Ice Heart Green Fruit.
However, two days later.
11 month 21 day.
Only after Lu Fei and Huang Sen reminded him did Xu Feng realize that today was actually his 42nd birthday.
Many of his friends had already prepared a surprise birthday party for him.
That noon, many friends gathered to celebrate Xu Feng turning another year older.
Compared to her last 41st birthday, Hsu Feng is now able to accept her age with equanimity.
Moreover, compared to when he and Xiao Dan were all alone in the shantytown, it's much better now.
Now he has many more relatives and friends around him.
Not only does he live in a villa of several hundred square meters, but his strength has also risen from the lowest level of the martial arts world to the middle and upper levels.
Without much emotion, he accepted it all calmly.
My mindset has also changed quite a bit since then.
That night.
Within the illusion of the Divine Platform.
A fierce wind howled in, whipping Xu Feng's clothes like steel blades.
Xu Feng stood atop the summit, feeling the endless wind piercing through his body. His aura clashed with the gale, and amidst the cacophony of the wind, he could even hear a faint dragon's roar.
suddenly.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his knees slightly bent.
next moment.
He simply touched the ground with his toes, and his whole body spun around with a roar.
Her steps were like a dragon swimming, her tail swaying lightly; she flew against the raging wind, her body spinning and soaring.
His palms moved like the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), sometimes like the Xun wind piercing through the forest.
The gale kept tearing at his clothes, but he used the wind as his strength, and with each step he took, he left a three-inch-deep footprint on the stone surface, as if he were wrestling with heaven and earth.
They move like the wind, their movements like a dragon.
a moment.
Xu Feng's body erupted with a burst of energy.
His palms, wreathed in crimson flames, twirled like a crane's beak pecking at the clouds, or like an eagle's claws tearing through the sky.
The wind, carrying sand and stones, lashed at his face, but he neither dodged nor avoided it.
With a slight twist of his palm, he incorporated the raging wind into his technique.
With a single strike of "Dragon's Claw," the wind suddenly ceased, as if even the air itself had been split in two.
In an instant, "pushing mountains and filling seas" followed, sleeves billowing like sails, the air currents they created causing ancient trees ten steps away to suddenly bend over.
The wind grew stronger.
But instead of being shaken by the gale, he used the wind to make his energy even more violent.
The footwork subtly aligns with the eight trigrams—the positions of Kan and Li are reversed, and Qian and Kun are turned upside down.
Each move seems to be deducing the ultimate principles of the universe.
The stronger the wind, the more composed he became.
It was as if I had transformed into a gentle breeze, free and unrestrained, without beginning or end.
suddenly.
a moment.
Xu Feng's figure suddenly rose higher, leaping into the air like a dragon soaring into the sky.
He drew two arcs of light in the air with his palms, which caused a gust of wind to swirl around his palms, forming a small tornado.
In an instant.
The green-clad figure danced with the wind, while the shadows of his palms flew with the clouds.
It was as if an immortal was riding the wind.
"drink!"
Just when this momentum reached a certain limit.
With a roar, Xu Feng unleashed a burst of energy from his body.
As the move ended, the clouds that had been flowing for miles suddenly dispersed in an instant.
The gale seemed to be soothed by an invisible hand.
As he landed slowly, his feet firmly planted on the ground like rocks, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone down into the world.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone into his palm—
There sat a withered leaf, blown by the wind but not shattered by the force of the palm strike.
After staring at the withered leaves for a moment, Xu Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, his face full of surprise: "I've had another epiphany."
He opened the panel and took a look.
Baguazhang - Perfection
"Phew—" Xu Feng took a deep breath. "This is an unexpected surprise."
Unexpectedly, his birthday reflections led him to a state of enlightenment while comprehending Baguazhang.
This rare opportunity allowed his palm technique to advance by leaps and bounds, allowing him to directly skip the final step.
As his thoughts raced, Xu Feng wondered if he could combine swordsmanship and palm techniques as Li Wen had suggested.
He drew his battle sword with a simple gesture.
As the sword was casually drawn, a faint dragon's roar could be heard.
suddenly.
Xu Feng moved.
Suddenly, the blade flashed in all directions, the swordsmanship as swift as a dragon and as swift as the wind.
After just a few moves, Xunfeng Dao's fierce moves easily combined with Baguazhang, becoming even more agile and cunning than before.
Compared to the original "crude" knife skills.
The "Bagua Xunfeng Knife" now even has a touch of "Taoist charm".
"After the two methods are perfected, combining them is easier than I thought."
Who knows, my current mastery of these two secret techniques may even surpass that of their creators.
After saying that, Xu Feng laughed.
"Be humble, be respectful to those who came before you."
In a flash, Xu Feng broke free of the illusion and returned to the martial arts room, immediately beginning to regulate his breathing.
The joy in my heart gradually dissipated, turning into tranquility.
Midnight.
After Xu Feng finished his meditation and walked out of the martial arts room, he felt hungry again.
After thinking for a moment, he took advantage of the moment and simply called out to Lu Fei.
The two secretly slipped out of their house and, together with Lao Huang and his wife, Li Suifeng, Luo Feng, and others, went to the night market in the city.
Xu Feng had never strolled through a newly built night market street so late at night before.
Since the Marshal arrived at the base, the entire Base 9 has experienced exceptional prosperity in terms of commercial development.
As a result, night markets, which were once rare, have now become commonplace.
It's very lively even at two or three in the morning.
Martial artists are naturally very energetic and have a digestive system that surpasses that of ordinary people, so they eat a lot but also get hungry quickly.
The existence of night markets can be considered to meet the needs.
As soon as the group of six entered the night market, they were attracted by the lively scene on both sides of the street.
The aroma of various barbecued and fried foods is incredibly tempting.
Xu Feng went straight to a stall, ordered a large amount of roasted mutton and garlic-roasted naan, rolled them up, and ate and drank them with chilled plum juice.
Chef Lao Huang has exceptionally low standards when it comes to street food stalls.
He had a bowl of stir-fried green-brown wild boar meat noodles in his left hand and a plate of fried red-flame bird eggs in his right.
They ate with their mouths greasy and had no manners whatsoever.
Lu Fei and Chen Ning opted for something much simpler, each ordering only a bowl of refreshing dessert soup with spicy fried rice noodles.
Li Suifeng and Luo Feng, on the other hand, each held a roasted purple suckling pig and started gnawing on it right there in the street.
"Why are you in such a good mood today? You're usually very health-conscious and never eat late-night snacks."
Huang Sen asked Xu Feng, who had a smug look on his face, with a puzzled expression.
Xu Feng glanced at him: "You made a slight breakthrough tonight, so treat yourself."
"Damn it!" Huang Sen was speechless after hearing Xu Feng's words. "I deserved to ask so many questions."
After saying that, Huang Sen suddenly realized something: "Wait, you weren't waiting all night for me to ask you that, were you?"
Xu Feng suppressed a laugh: "How could that be?"
Huang Sen stared wide-eyed at Xu Feng: "Damn! You're a polar bear wearing sexy lingerie—what are you pretending to be, a panda? You scoundrel, comparisons are odious."
Not to mention Huang Sen, Li Suifeng and Luo Feng, who were originally eating and drinking happily, suddenly lost their appetite.
Look at Xu Feng, breaking through is as easy for him as drinking water.
Let's look at them again.
Oh dear!
"Damn it, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going back to cultivate."
Huang Sen took a deep breath, turned around, and pulled Chen Ning away.
Luo and Li, who were standing nearby, exchanged glances and then left together.
Only Lu Fei covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Xu Feng: "If you keep putting them down like this, they'll lose their confidence."
"It was Lao Huang who insisted on asking; I had no intention of telling him."
Xu Feng grinned.
He had actually been holding it in all night, just waiting for Lao Huang to ask.
Sigh, if there's no one to share this joyous occasion with, wouldn't the fun be halved?
From this day forward, he can finally be confident that he can stand firm in the realm of the God of War.
There's no need to pretend to be weak anymore, no need to show weakness to others.
There's no need to think about catching up later or achieving great things late in life.
Xu Feng never expected that such a simple birthday celebration would lead to so many surprises.
He turned to look at Lu Fei beside him: "From today onwards, I will guide you in cultivating combat techniques."
He said this with extreme confidence.
After a slight pause, Lu Fei leaned tenderly against Xu Feng's chest and nodded slightly: "Mm."
Xu Feng then added, "I'll update my martial artist certification tomorrow. I can't stay a high-level warrior forever, can I?"
"Mmm." Lu Fei nodded with a smile.
After a moment's thought, Xu Feng said, "How about we buy a villa at the base later? It's not comfortable always renting from others."
Lu Fei thought of how someone had previously thought that buying a house was foolish, but now she herself had become the fool.
But she didn't say anything, she just kept agreeing with, "Mmm."
Xu Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Wu Da has provided you with all your combat equipment and secret techniques."
"I'll buy you the qi and blood tonics from now on."
"I'll do whatever you say." Lu Fei knew what Xu Feng was thinking and nodded with a smile.
Xu Feng nodded in satisfaction and led Lu Fei home.
Two days later.
Early in the morning.
Unlike before, when I used connections to sneak into the assessment and secretly complete the test.
Xu Feng has now reached a point where the entire assessment venue needs to suspend the assessment for a day just for him.
The War God assessment is actually simpler than the War General and Warrior assessments.
All you need to do is report your results, provide proof, and complete the strength and speed tests.
It can be simple, though.
The entire assessment venue was not to be ambiguous.
Because every war god is an important fighting force for humanity.
The military colonel in charge of the assessment site ordered his men to wait for news of Xu Feng at the No. 3 departure gate of the city gate early in the morning.
Xu Feng, on the other hand, had already set off the night before to hunt mid-level lord-class creatures.
The two captains responsible for waiting for Xu Feng arrived here before dawn.
It was nearly 10 o'clock, and the two of them were already extremely sleepy.
"Hah-cheh-"
The dark-faced captain standing under the porch stretched lazily and glanced at the tall captain beside him:
"Is it really necessary? I stood perfectly straight all morning; no one could see me at all."
The tall captain lowered his head, straightened his sleeves, and said, "That's Colonel Xu."
The dark-faced captain rolled his eyes at him: "Legends come every year, but you act like you've never seen a master before."
"Forget about the God of War, I heard that this year alone, the entire Great Xia Dynasty has lost two Ultimate Gods of War. All the legendary titles are just empty words."
The tall captain glanced at the dark-faced captain: "What does the business of other dimensions have to do with our Base Nine?"
Our base has produced only one such expert in the past two years, and he's a truly respectable and legendary figure!
He narrowed his eyes, gazing at the wilderness beyond the departure point and the distant mountains and forests: "Have you heard about Old Zheng's situation?"
The dark-faced captain's expression changed, and he nervously glanced around.
Upon discovering that only the two of them were waiting at the departure point, she quickly tugged at his sleeve: "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want to be investigated? I haven't heard anything about this."
The tall captain curled his lip: "What? You can't say anything about the good things the higher-ups are doing?"
The Golden Knife Squad was a legend back in the day! And what happened? They ended up like that!
Their power struggle at the top is sacrificing people like us? By what right?!
The tall captain spoke in a low voice, but his tone was furious: "With one order from them, it's us who are sent to our deaths!"
That's the Golden Knife Squad! A legendary warrior squad! And they just gave up like that!
"If they hadn't betrayed Lao Zheng's trust, none of that nonsense would have happened later."
The dark-faced captain stepped forward and covered his mouth: "Alright, alright, stop talking! Didn't Colonel Xu rescue them?"
I heard that the three of them traveled thousands of miles and killed dozens of experts, including two mid-level War Gods!
Holy crap, that's so damn handsome! Just thinking about it gets me excited!
The tall captain pulled away from him, frowning, and said, "Haven't you heard?"
The dark-faced captain smiled helplessly: "It's spread throughout all circles, I just didn't want you to bring it up here."
At this point, he sighed, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "You need to change your bad temper. We can talk about these sensitive things in private."
If someone with ulterior motives overhears this in a place like this, who knows what they might do to you behind your back.
The tall captain exclaimed excitedly, "Trying to mess with me? Do you think the base is still the same as before?"
"If anyone dares to mess with me, I'll report them to the Marshal! I'll report them to General Zhang! I refuse to believe that Old Zheng's fate will repeat itself!"
"Sigh," the dark-faced captain glanced at him, "Those officials are all the same, none of them are trustworthy, understand?"
The tall captain said with a determined look, "Heh, Colonel Xu is different!"
After saying that, he straightened his back again, like a great flag, firmly nailed there, waiting for Xu Feng's return.
It was just past 11 a.m.
A sudden, deafening tremor, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, came from outside Base Nine.
The two captains' expressions immediately changed, and they both turned to look at the wilderness area.
"Beep—beep—beep!"
Immediately afterwards, a piercing alarm sounded in the base.
Before the two could react...
Accompanied by a terrifying wolf howl, a black line suddenly appeared in the far distance of the base.
The black lines surged toward the base like a tidal wave, causing a violent tremor.
The mountains and forests were shaking, the earth was shaking, everything was shaking.
The two captains stared wide-eyed at the distant black tide.
Almost simultaneously, they reached out and touched the emergency shut-off button on the wall next to them.
As a black metal gate slowly sank down.
The two of them then crouched down and looked into the distance through the space below.
The dark-skinned captain's face was filled with horror: "A horde of beasts! A horde of beasts!!"
But at that moment, the tall captain suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Someone's here!"
"Who is it?"
The dark-faced captain was still in a daze when he saw a figure whistling through the sky and suddenly stop in front of the city wall.
immediately.
boom!
A burst of intense flames rose from the city wall and exploded in front of the horde of beasts.
A terrifying shockwave suddenly spread outwards, instantly turning everything within a radius of several thousand meters into dust.
The herd of animals suddenly stopped.
Swish!
A snow-white figure suddenly appeared in front of the beast horde, raising its head and roaring.
"Aww!!!"
"Buzz—"
"Click-click-click—"
On the walls of Base Nine, countless automatic weapons and several silver cannons instantly changed direction, all aiming at the direction of the beast horde.
at the same time.
Inside the base, a golden column of blood-red energy shot straight into the sky, releasing a terrifying pressure from afar.
The horde of beasts stopped ten kilometers from the base.
After howling a few times, the Sun-Devouring Wolf King could only retreat helplessly.
Until then.
Above the city walls, Xu Feng stood suspended in mid-air, holding a huge, bloodied wolf head in his hand, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, farewell, Wolf King! Don't bother seeing me off!!!"
Only after the wolf pack disappeared on the horizon did Xu Feng land gracefully and arrive outside Departure Point No. 3.
As the black gate slowly opened, two captains nervously stepped forward to greet them.
"Colonel Xu!" *2
Xu Feng glanced at the two of them, then immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to be so polite, how long have you been waiting?"
"Not long, not long," the dark-faced captain said with a stiff smile, clasping his hands in a respectful gesture.
The tall captain looked at Xu Feng with admiration: "Congratulations, Colonel, on successfully hunting down a mid-level lord!"
Hsu Feng laughed heartily: "Great, great! Congratulations to you too!"
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out two strips of bright red wolf meat, handing them to the two men: "Thank you for your hard work."
"This—!" Both of them were stunned.
This is wolf meat from a mid-level lord!
Xu Feng stuffed the wolf meat into their hands and walked forward with a smile: "It's alright, take it. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Hurry up, let's finish the test as soon as possible. Not only do you have to go to work, but I also have to go to work this afternoon."
After exchanging glances, the two lieutenants quickly followed Xu Feng, their eyes filled with joy.
I never expected this rising star to be so kind.
Not only are they generous, but they are also very approachable.
Such a skilled expert, yet he still has to rush to work this afternoon?
The two immediately realized that this person was completely different from the aloof war god they had met before.
Sensing the joy on the faces of the two people behind him, Xu Feng smiled gently.
Today was truly quite dangerous.
Although he successfully killed the mid-level lord-level wolf beast, he was chased by the Sun-Devouring Wolf King for nearly 200 kilometers.
It even triggered a wild animal horde that swept across the mountains.
He had assumed that today would at least result in a horde of beasts attacking the city.
Unexpectedly, the Sun-Devouring Wolf King eventually withdrew.
It seems they were intimidated by the powerful aura of their master at the base.
Xu Feng smiled wryly; today he was just riding on the coattails of someone else's coattails.
As soon as the three arrived at the entrance of the assessment venue, a martial artist with the rank of colonel was waiting there with a group of people.
Upon seeing Xu Feng, everyone rushed forward to greet him.
The colonel, seeing the wolf meat in the hands of the two captains, knew that Xu Feng's hunt had been successful.
He had also heard about the situation outside the city from the communication system.
He immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands in congratulations, and said, "I have long heard of Brother Xu's great name. Today, I see you are truly radiant and exceptionally capable."
To think that a mid-level lord was killed by you in less than a night.
With this kind of efficiency, if word got out, how envious would outsiders be of our Base 9? Hahaha.
Xu Feng smiled modestly and said, "Colonel Li, you're too kind. I was just lucky to have encountered a lone wolf leader and was able to launch a sneak attack."
You had no idea how badly I was chased by that Sun-Devouring Wolf King; I was almost surrounded by the pack of beasts.
"Brother Xu is too modest," Colonel Li laughed, then turned to the two captains. "You two are lucky to have met such a generous man as Brother Xu."
Alright, pack up and go home to rest. You've all had a hard day.
The two captains immediately bowed respectfully to Xu Feng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu! We'll head back now."
Then, the two happily turned and left with the wolf meat.
Colonel Li smiled and shook his head: "Then please come this way, Mr. Xu. The testing ground is ready for you."
Registration can be completed immediately after the test is finished.
However, the wolf's head, after being severed, needs to be photographed as evidence, and one ear needs to be kept.
Xu Feng slapped his thigh: "Oh right, look at me, I almost forgot about that."
He flipped his hand and took out the huge wolf head.
Its head, which is nearly three meters in diameter, occupies almost half of the passage.
Several staff members who were following him were startled by the sudden appearance of the wolf head and looked at Xu Feng in surprise.
At their level, they were unaware of the existence of storage rings, only assuming it was some kind of magical technique.
Colonel Li glanced enviously at Xu Feng's hand, then turned and ordered, "Zhang Lian, register immediately, then send the wolf head outside the testing ground."
When Mr. Xu leaves, you can take it with you directly.
"Yes!" The staff member nodded excitedly.
Colonel Li then turned to Xu Feng and asked with concern, "By the way, Mr. Xu, you've just finished a night of fighting, do you need to rest for a while?"
We've prepared a room, food, and water for you. You can wait until you're more energetic before taking the test.
Xu Feng waved his hand: "There's no need for that. Hurry up and get tested. I have to go to work this afternoon."
Colonel Li raised an eyebrow: "Alright, alright, come on, this way please."
About five minutes later.
Inside the test field.
Xu Feng briefly recalled his experiences today, and then, thinking back to when he first participated in the martial arts assessment, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"It's hard to believe that I'm such a big shot now."
"We've received so much welcome and support along the way, with accommodations and meals provided."
After thinking for a while, he felt that what he did might not have been smooth or prudent enough: "With so many people coming to greet us, shouldn't we give each of them a piece of meat?"
But so many people feel a little sorry for them.
Sigh, whatever, why think so much? Whatever.
Looking up at the punching power testing machine in front of him, Xu Feng curiously touched and looked at it from all angles.
The facilities and level of this testing ground were completely different from the testing grounds he had visited before.
This punching power testing machine alone was a model he had never seen before.
After all, something that can withstand the full power of a War God is extraordinary.
"Beep! Please stand in the circular icon under your feet when you are ready."
The countdown will begin in three seconds.
The countdown has ended, and the test has begun.
The first three tests are basic strength tests; please do not use combat techniques during these tests.
"call--"
Xu Feng stepped onto the circular icon on the ground.
As soon as a crisp notification sound rang out, he slammed his fist into the alloy target in front of him.
The target fell down instantly with a dull thud.
Then, the precise power data of this punch was displayed on the testing machine next to it.
[Base strength rating: 130093kg]
[Rating: Mid-tier God of War D]
Then, two more punches followed.
130601kg
129989kg
"Beep! Please use your combat secret technique to attack the punching bag with all your might!"
After three times, the prompt tone changes.
Xu Feng's eyes narrowed, and his body moved like a dragon as he suddenly punched the target!
boom!
A deafening roar suddenly filled the entire test site.
[Explosive power value: 785730kg! (approximately 785.7 tons)]
[Combat Power Rating: Mid-Tier War God S]
Is this the highest rating?
Xu Feng turned his head and asked.
The AI immediately replied mechanically, "This rating is not the highest; there are SS and SSS ratings above it."
Xu Feng opened his mouth.
Awesome.
That would probably have to wait until he cultivates the Flying Star Moon Severing Blade to perfection and reaches a 9x power output before he can achieve that, right?
Looking at the proficiency level, which is only at the beginner level, it'll be ages before that's achieved.
Xu Feng turned and walked towards the speed test track.
Don't think about the future, look at the present first!
continue!
