Your Master's Life! Never Weaker Than Others!

Chu Feng stood in front of the bed.

Looking at Xiao Huohuo gritting his teeth and his expression shifting on the bed, he knew his scolding had worked again!

This youngster must be overthinking things!

Not long after, Xiao Huohuo, snapping out of his thoughts, hesitated before raising his head and asking:

"Master, Huohuo wants to know, when you absorbed Qi into your body back then, how many strands of spiritual energy did you absorb?"

As he spoke, a hint of expectation flickered in the youngster's eyes.

Master's strength was unfathomable, surely he wouldn't be inferior to those geniuses?

Perhaps he had eight strands of spiritual energy absorbed into his body, or even the legendary nine strands, a super genius who could refine Qi in one day!

Here it comes!

Chu Feng had long anticipated that this youngster who loved to overthink things would inevitably ask about his past.

It was worth all the effort he'd put in earlier, fabricating one story after another.

Now it was time to put it to use!

Chu Feng maintained his detached, unfathomable demeanor:

"In my life, I have never been weaker than anyone else!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura immediately spread from his body.

Ten rays of rosy glow flowed around the room, forming wheel-like patterns of light, resembling a full moon, or a blazing sun, brimming with fullness!

The thatched hut, which could only rely on dim lamplight, instantly became brighter and more dazzling than daytime.

Xiao Huohuo was shocked, his eyes widening in amazement as he looked around.

He looked at the rosy glow drifting and roaming, a miraculous scene.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Even ancient demons only broke through their limits with nine strands of spiritual energy to enter Qi Refining, yet Master reached ten, that perfect number!"

"Never weaker than anyone else... he far surpassed everyone."

"Master is still far stronger than I imagined."

"He must be a super expert who appears once in ten thousand years!"

After several rotations, the rosy glow returned to Chu Feng's body and was reabsorbed.

Xiao Huohuo naturally understood, secretly moved, and thought:

"Master must have deliberately used a method to compress his cultivation until the manifestation of spirit absorption into the body, so that I could directly experience the benefits of the perfect realm of spirit absorption into the body."

"Master's intentions are truly profound, I must not let Master down."

Immediately, he continued excitedly:

"Master has actually surpassed the limit technique of spirit absorption into the body, then Master's entry into the Qi Refining Stage..."

A smile played on Chu Feng's lips:

"When I was cultivating, ten strands of spiritual power automatically merged into my body, and I entered the Qi Refining realm in an instant."

After hearing this, Xiao Huohuo's scalp tingled, and his throat felt dry.

He just quietly looked at the youth in front of him, taking a cold breath and saying:

"Qi Refining in an instant... Master..."

At this moment, the word "shocked" was no longer enough to describe Xiao Huohuo's feelings.

Every time he thought he had imagined his Master to be powerful enough, like an aloof expert, or an immortal god enshrined in a temple.

But now, he realized his imagination was still insufficient.

Master was far more powerful than he had imagined!

Seeing Xiao Huohuo's expression stiffen with shock, Chu Feng was overjoyed inwardly.

Excellent, this silly disciple had fallen for it again.

However, to be honest, what he said wasn't entirely false.

Those spiritual energies did enter his body under the manipulation of the System.

He had indeed reached the level of ten strands of spiritual energy in the spirit absorption into the body stage in an instant.

It was just that he hadn't broken through to the Qi Refining Stage.

Mixing truth with lies, anyone who heard it would be confused.

After a long while, Xiao Huohuo, who was sitting on the bed, finally recovered from his shock.

At this moment, he completely understood his next task.

That was to cultivate with all his might and not shame his Master!

He immediately got up, cupped his fists, and said firmly:

"Master, your disciple will begin cultivating now and will not slack off in the slightest. I will not let down the Master's earnestness!"

With that, Xiao Huohuo immediately sat down cross-legged.

He lowered his head and his lips moved slightly, likely reciting a mind technique. A faint red light emanated from his palms, nose, and mouth.

Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the bed board, soaked with sweat, and his face darkened.

It seemed the bed was unusable. Fortunately, he now possessed ten strands of spiritual energy.

With spiritual energy protecting his body, the cold night wind couldn't get close. Sleeping on a tree branch would be as comfortable as sleeping on a bed.

Soon, two months passed.

Chu Feng sat on a wooden chair padded with a tiger skin coat, legs crossed, leisurely basking in the sun.

The warm sun filtered through the dense green leaves of the forest, falling on him, bringing a sense of comfort.

In these two months, Xiao Huohuo had made considerable progress.

He used the excuse of tempering his physical body and stabilizing his spiritual energy to make Xiao Huohuo hunt fierce beasts, cook food, and even handle all the small chores of daily life.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, only needed to open his mouth for food and bask in the sun leisurely every day.

Feeling completely relaxed, Chu Feng sighed and said:

"It's good to have a well-behaved disciple."

Inside the thatched hut.

Xiao Huohuo remained calm, his brow tightly furrowed.

The wisps of rosy glow in the air were slowly absorbed into his body as he breathed.

However, this spiritual energy did not stay in his body for long. Before it could condense into a solid strand, it dispersed again through his skin.

His body seemed to have reached its limit.

If he were to look inward, he would see eight strands of spiritual energy intertwined throughout his limbs and bones, roaming around his body's surface.

Although not perfect, they shone brightly.

As the spiritual energy dissipated, Xiao Huohuo opened his eyes again and rested for a moment:

"During these days, although I seemed to have done many miscellaneous tasks under Master's guidance, my physical body has also been tempered in the process."

"It seems to have become more compatible with spiritual energy."

"It is precisely because of this that I was able to break through to the level of eight strands of spiritual energy."

He looked at his hands, feeling a bit unwilling:

"Is this my limit?"

"I, Xiao Huohuo, even with Master's help, can only break through to Qi Refining with eight strands of spiritual energy?"

He clenched his fists tightly.

If it were before, with such talent surpassing ordinary geniuses, and having reached the expectations he had set for himself two months ago, he would have been very satisfied.

But now, as the disciple of a Master who was never weaker than anyone else, and under Master's day and night guidance, this was far from enough!

Immediately, he cheered up again, lowered his head, and recited the cultivation method given by his Master. The spiritual energy around him began to gather again.

As the spiritual energy entered his body, his brow furrowed even tighter, and his aura became more turbulent.

The rosy glow gathered in his body, slowly being kneaded into a mass.

The original eight strands of spiritual energy immediately felt crowded.

This immense pressure made his face turn red, and his body seemed to swell by a circle.

Xiao Huohuo gritted his teeth fiercely, his hands turning purple, but he continued to recite the incantation word for word.

The rosy glow within his body, under the interplay of the incantation and his aura, condensed into a solid strand of spiritual energy within his extremely pressurized body.

Hoo!

Xiao Huohuo let out a long breath, his whole body relaxing.

The strand of spiritual energy within his body no longer dissipated but was retained.

The ninth strand of spiritual energy had finally been formed.
