Level Seven Physique
Fengyun knew, of course, that Daili was teasing him, and perhaps there was a hint of envy in her voice. After all, the Level 7 Thunderwing Pegasus was really appealing, and it was indeed a good match for Daili!
Moreover, the two had a really good relationship when they were in the orphanage. Although they always fought over all kinds of delicious snacks, they always cared about each other from the bottom of their hearts.
If I have something good, I won't forget the other person!
With his future secured, Fengyun felt much more relaxed than before. Recalling his time at the orphanage, he said nostalgically, "It's just a Thunderwing Pegasus. If you really want it, I'll give you mine sometime later."
"Anyway, the Thunderwing Pegasus is nothing to me?"
"However, even if Ma Yi follows you, he will still have to regularly bleed me for research. Also, I have an agreement with Ma Yi and the others that I will only let them serve for ten years before I set them free."
"At that time, you won't be able to stop them from returning to nature."
"Of course, if you and Ma Yi get along well ten years from now, I can act as a middleman to set you up with Ma Yi."
After staring at Fengyun for a while, Daili asked inexplicably, "Is there something you forgot to say when you went into the mountains this time?"
Fengyun's heart tightened, and he asked curiously, "What did you forget to say? What do you mean?"
Daili: "I don't know why, but I feel like you've changed again. You seem a bit more cheerful."
"I even felt a sense of relief from you."
"Have you forgotten who we are, forgotten how important caution is to people like us?"
"Given our public relationship, why would you transfer your Thunderwing Pegasus to me? Are you afraid our relationship won't attract attention?"
Fengyun's slightly tense heart relaxed, and he shrugged and said easily, "Then do you want Ma Yi?"
The sharpness in Daili's eyes remained undiminished. After a moment of silence, she said, "I want it!"
Fengyun put away the book in his hand and turned to leave, but a whisper reached Daili's ears, "As Lord Marcus's personal guard, I have been skipping my duties for a long time. From now on, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a personal guard and will no longer go into the Monster Mountain Range for training casually."
"Without the experience of monster training as a barrier, I don't know when I will be transferred to the Inquisition or assigned to the Ascetic."
"I will try my best to find an opportunity to transfer Ma Yi to you before then."
Watching Fengyun leave, Daili's lips curled slightly beneath her veil as she murmured, "That guy, who used to fight me for a piece of cheese pastry when we were kids, has grown up to be much more generous!"
Six months later
Fengyun was training as a warrior in a secret underground chamber dug out by Pangpang outside Fenlai City. His muscles were bulging, and his skin alternated between dark and pale colors, making him sometimes terrifying like an Asura and at other times as gentle as Angel Descent.
His bulging muscles undulated with the shifting black and white colors, and fine blood vessels seeped from his pores, condensing into beads of blood.
Gradually, the crimson color on Fengyun's body became increasingly intense, as the seeping blood droplets gradually connected into lines and patches, eventually congealing and scabbing over, even covering up the black and white color on his skin.

The scabs on Fengyun's body began to spread into cracks beneath his constantly contracting and bulging muscles, with shimmering white and dark colors mixed between the cracks.
Bang~
Once the darkness and the whiteness reached a balance, a terrifying force suddenly erupted from his body. It shattered the blood scabs that had mixed and congealed on his body and clothes, revealing his slender and muscular physique.
Compared to his previous robust physique due to intense training, Fengyun's current physique is not much taller or more robust than that of an average person, but this does not mean that his physique has weakened.
On the contrary, his bones and muscles are in this state because they have been tempered and compressed after reaching Level 7.
In addition, compared to his previous level six physique, Level 7 physique is not only stronger, but also gives him an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
One look at him and you know he's no ordinary person!
"Sigh, I should have thought of that earlier. Whether it's a warrior or a mage, reaching Level 7 is a qualitative change. Pure physical bodies will naturally undergo significant changes at Level 7 as well."
After testing his current physical strength, Fengyun's blood and qi surged, his muscles slowly grew larger under the stimulation of the blood and qi, and his height gradually increased. In a short while, he returned to his pre-breakthrough state.
"Fortunately, as long as I actively circulate and control my qi and blood, I can still recover to my level six physique. Although my combat power is not as strong as my Level 7 body in its natural state, it is still quite formidable."
"In a one-on-one situation, even if I am no match for Level 9 Peak expert below the Saint Realm, escaping is not a problem!"
In half a year, he used the trace of Dark Element Law he had comprehended to repeatedly Harmony with Heaven and Earth and comprehend all phenomena in the world, and had already Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth.
Only one Level 9 away from achieving the Saint Realm!
Unfortunately, he did not obtain the Heavenly Treasures from the Dawson Merchant Guild that would allow him to quickly break through to Level 9. Yale only managed to get him a treasure that would allow him to quickly break through to Level 8 — the Earth Origin Fruit.
Although the Earth Origin Fruit is Heavenly Treasures that can greatly enhance a warrior's fighting spirit, it is only of low quality among Heavenly Treasures. With the foundation of Level Seven Warrior in the Fengyun and Cloud realm, the medicinal effect can only help him raise his fighting spirit to the level of Level Eight Warrior.
Even so, it was only thanks to Yale's mediation and Fengyun's truly remarkable potential that he was able to obtain this Earth Origin Fruit from the Dawson Merchant Guild.
To conceal his true strength and maintain a low profile, Fengyun did not immediately consume the Earth Origin Fruit to break through to Level 8. Instead, he decided to focus on cultivating his battle qi, intending to attempt to break through to Level 9 after reaching Level 8, aided by the Earth Origin Fruit's medicinal effects.
However, Fengyun's strength has not increased much in the past six months. In terms of battle qi, he has only improved to the Level 7 Mid, which is far less than the speed at which he improved his battle qi by relying on the Blood Boil.
Fortunately, he gained a lot in other areas, the first of which was methods to strengthen his body.
By using Body Strengthening Potion to stimulate his blood and physical body, he focused on studying himself and others, and finally perfected the Dou Qi Body Strengthening Secret Art that was most suitable for him.
His current breakthrough to Level 7 physique is the most direct result of his research.
"But according to Marcus, he's going to take me to meet a senior Ascetic tomorrow so I can prepare myself and make a good impression."
"Given Marcus's strength and status, for him to be so respectful, the other party must be a Saint Realm being."
