"Have I become a Dou Zhe?" Feng Wu tried throwing a punch. After Perfect Foundation Establishment, the raw power of this punch was probably not much weaker than his previous Mountain Splitting Palm battle skill!
Feng Wu slowly exhaled, the joy on his face almost impossible to conceal.
Too strong!
Not only did his Dou Qi Cyclone, which was nearly liquefied, already possess some characteristics of the Dou Shi realm—
Judging solely by the size of Feng Wu's dantian and the strength of his meridians after Perfect Foundation Establishment, he even felt an unreal sense of being invincible beneath the heavens.
"It's time to use a cultivation technique. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" After a brief rest, Feng Wu took out the Earth Rank mid-grade cultivation technique, the Volcano Skill.
Following the Qi circulation routes and detailed annotations in the technique, he began circulating it through a heavenly cycle.
Although Feng Wu had long since memorized this technique and read it countless times, he still did not want to make the slightest mistake.
As one heavenly cycle completed, Feng Wu not only finalized the daily circulation routes and flow of his cultivation technique and Dou Qi, but a faint dark-red tint also began to spread through the Qi Cyclone in his dantian.
This was the transformation of Dou Qi attributes brought about by the cultivation technique. His previously attribute-less white Dou Qi was now changing into the fiery Dou Qi of the Volcano Skill.
Once the entire Dou Qi Cyclone had transformed into this type of Dou Qi and gained its attribute enhancement, Feng Wu's strength would likely rise another level or two.
However, it would probably take half a month for all of his Dou Qi to complete the transformation.
That was only because Feng Wu's cultivation was low and he had little Dou Qi. Furthermore, all of it was attribute-less Dou Qi, the easiest kind to alter and imbue with an attribute, which was why it was happening so quickly.
As for Feng Wu's cultivation, the moment he completed one heavenly cycle of the Volcano Skill, he had already gone directly from a zero-star Dou Zhe to a one-star Dou Zhe.
With a cultivation technique, Feng Wu's experience was no longer accumulated and stored away. Instead, it directly filled up and advanced him.
It was simply because most of his stored experience had been used up, leaving too little behind. Otherwise, reaching four or five stars would not have been a dream.
After deducting the 90 experience points needed to advance from Dou Qi Ninth Stage to Dou Zhe, as well as the experience needed to advance as a Dou Zhe, Feng Wu's experience was now nearly depleted.
It had become 3/120 experience points.
Still, this showed that the gap between each level in the Dou Zhe stage was not that great. It probably would not reach the point where advancing to the later **-star Dou Zhe levels required more experience than all the previous levels combined.
After studying his current condition, Feng Wu looked out the window. It was already evening, with the sun nearly set.
"It's so late. Looks like I can't go to Yao Chen's place today. Establishing my foundation and condensing the Dou Qi Cyclone actually took more than four hours!"
Feng Wu pushed open the door and walked out. "Little Er Ha!"
"Little Er Ha?"
"Where are you? Time to eat!"
Feng Wu stepped outside and looked around, but found nothing. Then he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the right!
"Little Er Ha, why did you run over there?" Feng Wu saw vegetable leaves shaking in the distance. When he went over to look, the vegetable patch was already full of pits and holes.
Little Er Ha had a bumpy bitter melon in its mouth. With its rear stuck up in the air, it chewed away with a look of pure enjoyment. Beside it lay half of a raw eggplant.
"What are you doing?" Looking at the mess, Feng Wu felt even more bitter than the bitter melon.
"Awoo, awoo! (You stayed in the room for so long, I got hungry!)" Little Er Ha shouted as it pawed at the dirt.
"Get over here!" Feng Wu grabbed Little Er Ha by the scruff of its neck and pulled backward, but Little Er Ha refused to budge.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo! (Don't touch me, I'm eating!)" Little Er Ha kept barking. Since Feng Wu could communicate with it through their bond, he could roughly understand it.
"What kind of meal is that? What dog eats bitter melon? Come on, I'll take you to eat roasted meat!" Unable to pull Little Er Ha away by force, Feng Wu could only take out a piece of meat from his Storage Ring and show it to the little dog.
"Awoo, awoo! (No, I'm not going!)" Little Er Ha plowed deep claw marks through the vegetable patch with both front paws as Feng Wu forcibly dragged it back into the courtyard.
"Here. Which one do you want?" Feng Wu first tossed the roasted meat in his hand onto the ground. Then he placed the half-eaten eggplant and bitter melon Little Er Ha had left beside it, letting Little Er Ha choose.
He was truly furious!
"Awoo!" Little Er Ha gave Feng Wu a disdainful, almost human look, wrinkled its nose, then picked up the bitter melon and eggplant and walked away.
Its little eyes seemed to say, Are you stupid? How can roasted meat compare to a delicacy like bitter melon?
I, Little Er Ha, fought so many battles out there for days. Can't I enjoy myself a little?
After eating meat for more than half a month, I'm sick of it already. A couple of bitter melons make for balanced nutrition, understand?
Feng Wu took out a bitter melon and bit down hard. He did not know whether his mouth was bitter or his heart was.
Early the next morning, Feng Wu took Little Er Ha out with him. They headed straight for Xiao Yan's residence and happened to find Xiao Yan practicing.
The courtyard gate was wide open, and Xiao Yan was training his body. Before Feng Wu could speak, Xiao Yan invited him inside.
"Feng Wu, come in, come in!" Xiao Yan warmly ushered Feng Wu into the courtyard, casually shutting the door tightly behind him. At the very instant the door closed, Yao Chen's figure appeared.
"You've come quite early, little friend," Yao Chen said. Then he openly began examining Feng Wu.
At first, he merely nodded in admiration. But the longer he looked, the more solemn he became, and the more shocked he was. A raging tide had already risen in Yao Chen's heart!
"Little friend, your foundation is profound beyond compare. Such a thing has never existed since ancient times!" In the end, all his shock turned into a long sigh. "There was no one before you, and I fear there will be no one after you!"
After carefully examining Feng Wu, Yao Chen seemed to casually glance at Xiao Yan from the corner of his eye. He sighed inwardly. Timing and fate!
Without comparison, there would be no harm!
Before this, Xiao Yan possessed extraordinary Soul Power, outstanding talent, and Dou Qi that had been rebuilt twice, giving him a solid foundation. In Yao Chen's eyes, he had already been rare jade in a fine field.
But compared to Feng Wu now... ah...
If Feng Wu did not possibly have a powerhouse behind him capable of killing Yao Chen, Yao Chen would absolutely have chosen one of two options: find a way to take Feng Wu as another disciple, or eliminate him as soon as possible!
But now, he could probably only do his best to befriend Feng Wu.
"Hehe, you praise me too highly, Senior. It is all thanks to my master." Feng Wu humbly said, "Senior, I came this time to ask you to fulfill your earlier promise and teach me alchemy.
"With the Qi Gathering Powder you gave me last night, I have already become a true Dou Zhe."
Feng Wu completely released his aura, and the presence of a one-star Dou Zhe surged forth without restraint.
Xiao Yan, who had been practicing his punches nearby, was stunned!
"He became a Dou Zhe just like that?" Xiao Yan lost his balance for a moment and punched through the forearm of a wooden training dummy without even noticing.
"This is a one-star Dou Zhe?" Xiao Yan muttered absentmindedly. "Not only did he become a one-star Dou Zhe immediately after advancing, but this aura... even three- or four-star Dou Zhes might not compare to him, right?"
Both were youths with exceptionally powerful Soul Power. Before, Feng Wu had deliberately restrained himself, so Xiao Yan had not noticed anything.
But now that Feng Wu had unleashed his aura, Xiao Yan was horrified. A powerful sense of danger wrapped around his heart.
