CHAPTER 701: CHAPTER 425: STRENGTH RISES AGAIN, SPECULATION OF THE LOWER-RANK ENVOY

"Leaving soon...?"

Within the Martial Arts Hall, the perception was retracted.

Chen Feng clearly saw everything outside and also heard many conversations.

Including on his phone, the concerned messages from Old Zhang and Zhou Wuren, which subtly mentioned their admiration and respect for the transcendence of martial arts and the ability to fly freely.

He knew the martial artist’s power he had exhibited brought quite a bit of shock to everyone.

For the past two days, he had dodged numerous disturbances under the guise of rest, but some matters would undoubtedly need to be addressed again later.

After all, the future of the martial arts world could not rely solely on him.

If Yang Wudi could make some advancements, or even if more individuals reached the extreme realms and transcendence, his pressure would be somewhat alleviated.

"Perhaps, in the future, I should appropriately impart some high-order true skills to others."

The thought passed through his mind, originating from a sense of urgency within.

Relying solely on the Flame Tiger Sect, it was difficult to completely digest the high-order martial arts true skills from the Qinggang City’s dream realm.

It wasn’t just the gap in the foundation of the schools, the number of disciples, and the talent levels, but also because there wasn’t much time left to waste.

In the past, he had thought of waiting a bit longer, but the sudden outbreak of the black tide disaster changed that thought.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng’s gaze wavered, and he couldn’t help but walk to the window, looking up at the city center in the distance.

The sky was blue, layers of white clouds.

The previous rift seemed like a surreal dream, and the Gate of Darkness had long disappeared.

The area had already been sealed off independently by the military and completely evacuated.

Huge warships still hovered high in the sky, fleets of flying devices forming an aerial defense, flashing red and blue lights, continually taking off and landing.

Additionally, tanks and armored vehicles, along with numerous transformed people and strong ground firepower weapons, formed a ground exclusion zone in the most severely damaged central area, strictly forbidding anyone from approaching.

Although the black tide had receded, no one dared to be careless or take chances.

Whether in the highest positions or among the ordinary public.

This time, the unexpected disaster originating from Chi Bo Energy and the Evil God Church left a deep shadow on everyone.

Far more terrifying and shocking than the incident in Suo Jia City back then, it almost allowed an Evil God Angel to truly descend.

"If it really descended, I wouldn’t be a match."

"A legendary flying general like Wang Cheng... would also be unable to contend."

His gaze flickered, and Chen Feng stared silently at the distant sky and earth.

Witnessing it firsthand that day made him deeply appreciate the power of the Evil God Angel.

Just the mere presence of its power upon descent was already so challenging, not to mention the seemingly endless restorative power of the black tide.

Even the Heart of Life couldn’t contend with it; the absorbed life essence had an upper limit and faced the invasion of corruption.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but look at the new ability he had obtained.

[Black Dream Light]

[Activation Progress: 40%]

[Current Effect: Consuming physical strength, it can activate Black Dream Light to temporarily block the Black Tide Power]

The dream realm of Qinggang City was the best testing ground, and he had tried it thoroughly in the dream realm over the past two days.

In the misty ruins of memory, several black tide creatures were isolated individually using the Black Dream Light, turning into small barriers.

It’s not just about temporarily sealing them; it’s more like isolating and stripping the power of the black fog at its origin.

Because of this, after killing those black tide creatures, they never revived.

Moreover, the restorative power that was trying to withdraw was entirely blocked by the Black Dream Light, completely consumed.

This, precisely, countered the endless peculiarities of the black tide.

Different from the abilities of the Heart of Life, at the same time, it gave him a glimpse of hope.

"Perhaps, I should figure out a way to gather enough Evil God Power."

"If I can fully activate this ability, its effectiveness might increase significantly."

With his gaze fixed, Chen Feng clenched his fist.

This episode of the black tide offered him many insights.

Although Wang Cheng and the others appeared with the warships in the end, they were still a step too late.

So he was well aware that when disaster truly struck, he could only rely on himself.

Whether in Suo Jia City or Nanjiang, it was just a beginning.

He believed this wouldn’t be the last time.

Therefore....

With a mental command, the panel emerged.

Looking at the progress of the various martial arts true skills before him, Chen Feng’s gaze shifted one by one.

[Golden Day Skill: Golden Body (26%→38%)+]

[Thunder Technique: Thunder Light—Small Success (12%→23%)+]

[Extreme Martial: 7]

[Breakthrough: 283]

Golden Body was still a distance from Great Success, and the breakthrough for Thunder Technique could not be compensated with nearly three hundred breakthroughs.

Ultimately, his gaze shifted, resting on another martial art.

[Extreme Fighting Fist: Extreme Land—Small Success (5%)+]

[Heavenly Gang Dominator Body: Vigorous Body (84%)+]

If the former could break through to the Great Success in Extreme Land, it would make his boxing moves reach a shocking level of power.

But the consumption required would be twice as much as the current Vigorous Body.

As for the latter.

The three-tenths physique effect bonus of the Steel Bone Talent was permanently present, the stronger, the better.

And he had already obtained the essentials of the Giant Vault in the memory within the dream light sphere.

In the Minor Achievement stage, he felt like a giant; in the Great Success stage, his divine powers could transform into a vault.

Suddenly, with a determined look, Chen Feng silently uttered two words.

"Enhance!"

All the Extreme Martial transformed into nourishment, integrating with the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body, and endless insights poured in.

The progress steadily advanced, ultimately consuming nearly a hundred breakthroughs as well.

In an instant.

Spring dawns, autumns and winters, countless days and nights of grinding practice.

Sweat watered his resilient body, and new power of physique blossomed like a flower.

Buzz!

[Heavenly Gang Dominator Body: Giant Vault—Minor Achievement (2%)+]

His physique instantly broke through, and the consumption surged abruptly.

The additional nearly a hundred breakthroughs only increased the progress by one point, even greater than the consumption for Extreme Fighting Fist.

With his gaze fixed, Chen Feng sighed.

He couldn’t afford to delve deeper because he soon discovered his own transformation.

Crackling!!

The sound of frying beans exploded from his body, as the four-dimensional attributes on the panel grew once more.

[Strength: 102→106]

[Agility: 94→97]

[Constitution: 105→113]

[Will: 97→100]

"An increase of 18 attribute points."

Tightly clenching his fist, Chen Feng could feel his strength and spirit growing stronger once more.

Even though it was just a small segment, it was a solid step forward among the Lower-Rank Envoys.

And among these, the greatest increase was in constitution.

Buzz!

The power of physique was instantly activated, much like a special keratin of glazed crystal growing back again.

The effect belonging to the Vigorous Body was still present, not only covering the body surface, but also protecting the internal organs with keratin, which can absorb impacts, resist shocks, and prevent internal injuries.

This solid layer of physique defense was greatly enhanced, in terms of strength it was in no way inferior to Rainbow Iron.

"Not only that...."

The changes from the breakthrough were incredibly clear within his perception, Chen Feng closed his eyes slightly, concentrating his mind.

Instantly, the consumption of physique power doubled, flowing out like a floodgate opening.

In contrast.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the floor of the room, a violent gale arose, pushing open the windows from inside.

The curtains fluttered as if about to tear, the furniture in the room trembled and shook, with streams of airflow scattering outward from Chen Feng as the center.

"Body like a Giant Vault... a single hand shakes the heavens."

His closed eyes suddenly snapped open, a piercing gleam flashing through.

Relying on perception, Chen Feng saw his current anomaly, as well as the virtual image that appeared behind him.

It was about three meters tall, seemingly a concentration of Qi.

It looked very similar to him, like an enlarged version of himself.

The invisible momentum all emanated from this virtual image, which was the physique power of the Giant Vault.

It carried an innate deterrent effect, allowing it to strike with focused intent, unleashing a world-shaking blow.

Moreover, it was size-adjustable at will, as long as the consumption of physique power was sufficient, it could transform into a towering giant supporting the sky dome.

To a certain extent, this was equivalent to an extension of his own physique power.

In fact, it was somewhat akin to the divine manifestation imagined by ancient peoples, embodying the heavens and earth.

"If I unleash my full strength, it might be enough to transform it into a hundred-meter giant ghost."

"Moreover, it carries a certain kind of special majesty...."

Chen Feng carefully felt and comprehended the mysteries within.

He vaguely sensed that he might have discovered something different from previous Martial Arts power.

Neither Martial Arts Power, nor Martial Arts True Intent, nor Extreme Realm Ascension...

"Could it be the Martial Arts Momentum?"

Chen Feng squinted, somewhat unsure.

He had vaguely seen similar words in the dream realm of Qinggang City, which belonged to the memory of a Sixth Order Transcendent Martial Artist.

When the power of Martial Arts reaches a certain level, it can make the Spiritual Extreme Intent and Martial Arts Will bloom with majesty, forming a unique heaven and earth momentum.

It could resonate and overlap with the World Power, or more accurately, it was about mastering the world, obtaining a small world of one’s own.

It was extremely mysterious and not detailed enough, so Chen Feng wasn’t very sure.

"The power of Giant Vault might just be somewhat close, but not complete."

"To reach that level, perhaps some other progress is needed...."

Chen Feng pondered, suspecting that a complete Martial Arts Momentum belonged to the domain of the Angel Level.

And this idea would need to wait for the Holy Shield Giant’s transformation to be verified.

The thought passed, and Chen Feng didn’t delve further.

Because upon meticulous observation, he suddenly discovered something.

His Martial Arts strength... had already caught up with the talents of Green Armor and Steel Bones.

Feeling somewhat emotional, he realized it wasn’t because the talent upgrade was slow.

Instead, it was the Martial Arts progress that was exceedingly rapid.

However, this also served as a reminder to him.

"Green Armor and Steel Bones... perhaps need to be upgraded quickly."

His gaze paused briefly on the progress, especially on the Steel Bones section.

Rainbow Iron was the most advanced metal he knew of currently, such resources were incredibly scarce, impossible to acquire as easily as before.

Each Legendary Flying General was extremely powerful, a national asset, and couldn’t be easily slain by him.

"The Obsidian from the Snake Spirit Secret Realm is already ineffective, and the Realm of the Dead hasn’t revealed any new metals either."

"As for Golden Steel.... apart from Star-level Vajra, the qualities below it are useless for Steel Bones, and quantity can’t compensate..."

In an instant, his thoughts spread out.

Chen Feng instinctively glanced at the imprint in his palm.

It was a pattern of two crossed war axes, seemingly representing war and disaster.

[Power of Disaster: 1800/100]

A long time ago, when he killed the avatar of the Divine Martial Alliance Leader, he acquired a certain amount of power of disaster, allowing him a second-time dream entry into the Calamity Secret Realm.

But up until now, he had exercised restraint and hadn’t ventured there lightly.

"The Calamity Secret Realm is a world of highly advanced technology, there must be advanced metals there."

"Perhaps, that’s the best place for the Steel Bone Talent to grow...."

Clenching his fist, Chen Feng pondered for a moment.

Finally, he pushed open the door of the quiet room and walked towards the near guest room.

Since Chen Yun was back, now was the perfect time for her to answer some of his doubts.

Not just the rumors, but also about the newly researched advanced metals.

Simultaneously, there was curiosity about Legendary Technology.

When he shattered the barrier that day and ended the Black Tide.

Seizing the moment when the force field of Wang Cheng fluctuated, he specially perceived and compared the other party’s physique.

It was more solid than he expected and slightly stronger than his physique.

Like Rainbow Iron, but different from his perception.

This led him to speculate about the standard level of Rainbow Iron.

Step step!

Instantly, footsteps set out.

Noticing the commotion, the several disciples left in the Martial Arts Hall all had their expressions shaken, hurriedly looking over.

"Senior Brother!!"

In a chorus of respectful and fervent voices, the eldest sister, Chen Yun, in the guest room, looked dazed.

The siblings met once again, perceiving the complex expressions in each other’s eyes.

Chen Feng understood that some things no longer needed hiding.
