After a night of heavy drinking, the alcohol fumes faded away.
Han Feng once again entered that state of isolation, the courtyard gate tightly shut, refusing all visitors.
In his world, only three things remained.
Eating, sleeping, and cultivating.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Medicinal pills were consumed like sugar beans.
Finally, late one night, after an attribute addition, the spiritual power within him reached a critical point.
Boom!
Within the dantian's sea of qi, the Spiritual Power Vortex expanded abruptly, and a surge of energy far stronger than before erupted.
Evergreen Skill, Sixth Layer!
Han Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the abundant spiritual power within him and his once-again strengthened Five Senses and Six Consciousnesses.
Yet his joy lasted only a moment.
Because the cultivation technique had run out.
What Han Li had given him only covered the first six layers.
To obtain the subsequent layers, for now, he would have to start with Doctor Mo.
And the prerequisite for getting them was to deal with that old man.
The Path of Immortal Cultivation would have to pause for now.
What a pity.
Han Feng didn't let this discourage him. Since the immortal path was on hold, he would return to the Martial Path.
He still had plenty of time to push his combat power to an unprecedented peak.
A few days later, in the Forest Clearing outside Divine Hand Valley.
Han Feng and Li Feiyu met Han Li again.
Compared to his earlier anxiety, Han Li now radiated a sharp, piercing aura.
A sharp Short Sword in hand, he darted swiftly through the forest, his sword technique bizarre and fast, each strike aimed at vital points on the human body.
"What speed! Junior Brother Han's comprehension is incredible!" Li Feiyu exclaimed in amazement.
"This Blink Swordplay is truly exquisite!" Han Feng nodded in praise.
This sword technique relied entirely on skill and speed at their peak, with no need for Internal Force.
"Brother Er Leng, we'll spar with you!" Han Feng called out, joining the fray alongside Li Feiyu.
Both of them deliberately held back their strength, using only technique to exchange blows with Han Li, helping him familiarize himself with the practical application of this sword art.
With two Martial Arts Masters as training partners, Han Li's swordsmanship visibly grew more polished.
An hour later, Li Feiyu stepped back, panting, to rest.
But Han Feng didn't stop. He stripped off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and strode straight toward a nearby Small Waterfall.
He walked under the waterfall, planted himself in a Horse Stance, and let the icy Stream Water crash down from above, battering his body.
This was the training method of the Elephant Armor Skill.
Using the force of the Water Flow to temper his Skin, Flesh, Sinews, and Bones, while also accelerating the absorption of medicinal power from the pills.
Watching Han Feng grit his teeth under the waterfall, Li Feiyu couldn't help but remark, "Brother Han Feng, you're a real beast!"
Han Feng didn't respond.
If he wasn't tough on himself, how could he, a mere mortal, ever reach the pinnacle of the magnificent Immortal Cultivation World?
Another two months passed.
Inside Han Feng's courtyard.
With the support of a mountain of pills and Attribute Points, Positive Yang Force had finally been pushed to the Ninth Layer!
At this moment, the depth of his Internal Force far surpassed that of his Master, Sect Master Wang Juechu.
If it came down to pure Internal Force cultivation, he was now undisputedly the strongest person in the Seven Profound Sect on the surface.
At the same time, he had personally trained the Elephant Armor Skill to the Second Layer, and then used Attribute Addition to forcibly push it to the Third Layer.
The direct consequence of cultivating this external hard-body technique was that his body began a Secondary Development.
At just eleven years old, he had already shot up to around one meter seventy in height.
With a sturdy frame and well-proportioned muscles, he looked like a sprightly youth of fifteen or sixteen.
That day, Han Feng sat cross-legged in his room, sinking his mind into the Attribute Panel.
After months of accumulation, he had another forty Attribute Points.
He had planned to pour all these points into Elephant Armor Skill to further bolster his physical defense.
But just as he was about to act, an unexpected discovery made him stop.
There, in the Cultivation Technique column, behind Positive Yang Force, a tiny, faintly glowing red "+" sign had appeared.
Wasn't Positive Yang Force only nine layers?
This... could it still be improved?
A bold thought surfaced in Han Feng's mind.
He hesitated no longer, and with a flick of his will, he directly chose Attribute Addition!
"Attribute Addition! Positive Yang Force!"
[Ding! 40 Attribute Points consumed. Positive Yang Force elevated to the top layer!]
Boom!
A torrent of energy, far more violent than any breakthrough before, exploded within his dantian!
His Internal Force, already vast as a river, now burst like a breached dam, surging wildly in an incomprehensible frenzy!
Several times over!
It skyrocketed several times over!
The immense Internal Force scoured his limbs and bones, every inch of his meridians and every joint undergoing a wondrous transformation under this power's baptism.
Han Feng immediately opened the Attribute Panel.
[Host: Han Feng]
[Level: Transformation Realm]
[Age: 11]
[Spiritual Root: Wood]
[Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Skill (Sixth Layer), Positive Yang Force (Top Layer), Elephant Armor Skill (Third Layer)]
[Martial Skill: Thunderous Saber Technique (Mastery), Smoke-Mist Steps (Mastery)]
Transformation Realm?
So this was the new realm of the Martial Path beyond the tenth layer?
Han Feng pondered this, then slowly rose and walked into the courtyard, casually grabbing a practice steel blade from the corner.
