Chapter 38: Chapter 038 The Supreme Body
â`
After a simple packing of belongings, under the deeply reluctant gazes from Feng Zhengxiong and the others, Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao stepped out of the Feng familyâs gate.
Xiao Qingqing was already sobbing inconsolably, tears streaming down her face, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance and worry as she continuously murmured, âChen Er.â
In the sixteen years of his life, this was the first time Feng Wuchen had ever traveled far from home.
Feng Wuchen didnât look back because he knew that once he did, his tears would fall uncontrollably, and he didnât want to show Feng Zhengxiong and the others his less resilient side.
âA manâs tears should not be shed lightly.â Feng Wuchen struggled to suppress his sense of loss, but eventually, his tears betrayed him.
...
The tears shed upon leaving were tears of strength, tears for the future.
Feng Wuchen was the future of the Feng family. He had to show them his strong side, he had to bring hope to the Feng family!
âTake care, Third Brother!â Feng Yuan and Feng Zhan called out non-stop.
âTake care, Third Young Master!â The Feng family members called out incessantly, Xiaolan, who had served Feng Wuchen for many years, also left behind reluctant tears at this moment.
âMadam, donât be sad. Chen Er is only following his master to gain experience; we should be happy.â Feng Zhengxiong forced a smile to console her, but his sense of loss was no less than Xiao Qingqingâs.
âOld Dad, after I leave, Xiaolan will give you the things Iâve left behind.â Feng Wuchen thought to himself. At this moment, words could no longer describe his feelings.
Ling Xiaoxiao quietly followed beside Feng Wuchen, seeing the tears flow from his eyes, she felt very sad as well and did not know how to comfort him.
Along the way, Feng Wuchenâs mood was very heavy; even when passersby greeted him, Feng Wuchen seemed as if he hadnât heard, paying them no attention.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao eventually left Unmatched City.
Feng Wuchen stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at the familiar three characters on the city gate, feeling a surge of complicated emotions once again.
In front of the city gate, Feng Wuchen didnât know how long he had stood when Ling Xiaoxiaoâs voice reached his ears, snapping him back to reality.
âBrother Feng, letâs go,â Ling Xiaoxiao said softly.
After taking a deep breath, suppressing the complicated and sorrowful feelings in his heart, Feng Wuchen replied with a faint smile, âLetâs go.â
Feng Wuchenâs departure would last a year!
In that year, Unmatched City would no longer have Feng Wuchen, nor the terrifying young man with the mere Second Grade Martial Soul talent but a monstrous rate of cultivation.
Outside the city, many people who saw Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao leave were puzzled about their destination.
âBrother Feng, where are we going?â asked Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly after they had left Unmatched City at a distance, she could tell that Feng Wuchen had stowed his complex emotions, and she felt much more at ease.
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen replied with a light smile, âLetâs wander around. The Empire is so vast, we can go anywhere.â
âGreat! Brother FengâŠâ Ling Xiaoxiao was about to joyfully agree when a voice echoed in her mind at that moment.
âMiss, itâs time to go back,â the voice that transmitted into Ling Xiaoxiaoâs mind suddenly made her halt her words.
âWhatâs wrong?â Feng Wuchen asked, noticing Ling Xiaoxiaoâs hesitation.
âNothing, just that I have been out for a long time; I should go back now,â Ling Xiaoxiao said with a downcast mood.
No sooner had she spoken than she seemed to remember something and hurriedly explained, âBrother Feng, please donât misunderstand, I donât want to leave you. If it werenât for other reasons, I would rather die than leave Brother Feng; I justâŠâ
Before Ling Xiaoxiao could finish explaining, Feng Wuchen smiled and interrupted, âI understand. Youâve been with the Feng family for two months; itâs also time to go back. Donât make your parents worry.â
Feng Wuchen understood Ling Xiaoxiaoâs situation. He had only been away from Unmatched City for a few minutes, and his heart was already filled with reluctance, let alone Ling Xiaoxiao, who had been out for two months.
âThank you, Brother Feng, I will definitely come to find you! I promise!â Ling Xiaoxiao assured earnestly, fearful that Feng Wuchen might not believe her.
âHow will you get back by yourself?â Feng Wuchen asked, noting that he had also heard Ling Xiaoxiao hailed from a distant part of the Mainland.
âFeng young master need not worry about that! I will escort the miss back home.â No sooner had Feng Wuchen finished speaking than a calm voice resounded, followed by the sudden appearance of a figure.
The man was a middle-aged male, in his early thirties, quite young, clad in white brocade, exuding the aura of a strong figure from head to toe.
The manâs arrival shocked Feng Wuchen internally; this was unquestionably a terrifyingly powerful individual who had also been protecting Ling Xiaoxiao in secret all along.
âBrother Feng, his name is Ye Wuheng,â Ling Xiaoxiao promptly introduced.
âThank you, Feng young master for taking care of the miss during this time,â Ye Wuheng said with a polite smile and even gave a slight bow to Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen glanced at the middle-aged man and replied, âXiao Xiao has been a benefactor to my Feng family, no need for formalities. With you to escort her, I am relieved.â
âBrother Feng, take good care of yourself! I will come to find you,â Ling Xiaoxiao hastily said, her eyes brimming with reluctance and her tears shimmering.
âFeng young master, we shall take our leave,â Ye Wuheng said politely, then he vanished into thin air with Ling Xiaoxiao as if they had never been there in the first place.
â`
âXiao Xiaoâs backing must be extremely terrifying, and with Ye Wuhengâs cultivation level, he alone can sweep through the entire Flame Fire Empire,â Feng Wuchen muttered to himself.
As Ling Xiaoxiao left, the surroundings became quiet, and within an instant, it was as if Feng Wuchen had nothing left.
âI must increase my cultivation level as soon as possible!â Determination flashed in Feng Wuchenâs eyes as he strode into the deep, cold depths.
The reason Feng Wuchen left the Feng family was that he didnât want the family to know his secrets, and he couldnât fully commit to his training while being with them; he didnât want to bring greater calamity upon them.
Not long after Feng Wuchen had left Wushuang City, a subordinate claiming to be a General of the Empire arrived at the Feng family, seeking the formula for the Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder!
Upon learning that the Empire was in need of the Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder, Feng Zhengxiong didnât hesitate and handed over the formula at once.
As a subject of the Empire, it was an honor for the Feng family to be able to contribute, and Feng Zhengxiong naturally would not refuse.
Elsewhere, Feng Wuchen traveled alone over mountains and through valleys, cultivating while on the move, and three days later, he had arrived in Yunzhou of the Empire, far away from Tianzhou, where Wushuang City was located.
On this day, Feng Wuchen came to Shuiyun City.
After several days of acclimatization, encountering many people and passing through beautiful scenery, Feng Wuchen felt much better and found that cultivating alone was much more comfortable and peaceful.
Without external interference, Feng Wuchen could fully concentrate on his cultivation with single-minded devotion.
âAside from powders and elixirs, I must find all kinds of heavenly treasures and earthly marvels to improve my cultivation,â Feng Wuchen thought to himself as he walked the streets of Shuiyun City.
On his first day in Shuiyun City, Feng Wuchen first went to a medicinal herb shop to buy many herbs as well as some materials for artifact refining.
Afterward, Feng Wuchen headed to the deep mountains on the outskirts of Shuiyun City to refine powders and elixirs.
The spiritual energy was rich in the deep mountains, and the environment was quiet, suitable for cultivation.
Seven days later, Feng Wuchen successfully entered the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, his cultivation improvement astonishingly rapid.
After the breakthrough in cultivation level, Feng Wuchen began to search through the memories of the Evil Dragon God for martial arts techniques that he liked.
The Evil Dragon God, being a Supreme powerful being of the Dragon Clan, had countless cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques, inexhaustible in their use.
Of course, the Evil Dragon God hadnât practiced all these techniques; they merely existed in his memory.
It took Feng Wuchen six hours to find suitable martial arts techniques and sword techniques for his own cultivation, including: World-ending Heavenly Punishment Slash, God-slaying Soul Severing Finger, Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm, and Illusion Vanishing Sword Technique.
Apart from the Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm, which is a mid-grade martial art of the Profound Grade, the other three are of the Earth Rank, and these three Earth Rank techniques are currently the ones that Feng Wuchen can barely manage to start learning.
The stronger the martial art, the higher the cultivation level required. Only with a sufficiently powerful cultivation can one learn stronger martial arts techniques.
As for movement techniques, Feng Wuchen didnât need to cultivate them, because the Dragon Shadow Image practiced by the Evil Dragon God was an extremely strong martial art. Relying on the memory and experience of the Evil Dragon God, Feng Wuchen could execute it at any time.
The sword technique previously used by Feng Wuchen was not specifically a sword technique, but rather a set of sword moves executed on the fly, infused with the experience of the Evil Dragon God.
Any cultivator who reached the Transformative Realm could execute it; it was just that Feng Wuchen did it in the Qi Refining Realm, which is why it was so shocking to people.
The first technique Feng Wuchen decided to cultivate was the Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm, the most suitable martial art for him at the moment.
The Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm was extremely fierce and mighty, particularly fitting for cultivators with strong bodies, which was the reason Feng Wuchen chose it.
In addition, the power of the Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm could be stacked; with three layers stacked together, its power was comparable to a high-grade technique of the Profound Grade!
The Third Layer Heaven Wrath Palm was very much to Feng Wuchenâs liking.
Beyond that, Feng Wuchen also discovered a miraculous physical technique!
This technique was even created by the Evil Dragon God himself, named the Supreme Body, a miraculous physical technique that the Evil Dragon God had invented based on his many years of experience, hence it was named the Supreme Body.
The miracle of the Supreme Body was that it allowed cultivators practicing it to expand their own meridians, increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, improve the efficiency of energy refinement, help strengthen the constitution as well as enhance self-healing abilities, and increase nerve response, perception, observation, and speed. It was all about comprehensive enhancement!
âThe Evil Dragon God truly lives up to his reputation as a Supreme powerful being. To comprehend such a terrifying Supreme Body⊠No wonder Long Tianzhan was defeated by him, and in the end, it took the six elders to defeat him,â Feng Wuchen was immensely shocked, and his entire being petrified.
âWith the cultivation of the Supreme Body, all aspects of my abilities will be greatly enhanced!â Feng Wuchen felt a surge of ecstasy.
Feng Wuchen could no longer contain himself, forcefully suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and began to cultivate the Supreme Body.
Having been practiced by the Evil Dragon God, Feng Wuchen was simply revisiting the technique in his memory, and it didnât take much time at all!
In just half an hour, Feng Wuchen already noticed a significant change in his body, whether it was nerve response, perception, observation, or his own constitution and speed, all had seen a huge improvement!
âThis is terrifying! Just starting out and already Iâve had such a huge improvement in just half an hour!â Feng Wuchen was again shocked to the point where he felt as if he was dreaming.
The excitement and thrill in his heart were indescribable.
