Strength Soaring, So Powerful He Frightened Even Himself! Finally Reaching the Star River Sect!

Somewhere along the shore.

The piercing sound of boiling rang out without end, sharp and shrill.

Fang Hong was like a kettle filled with boiling water.

And the boiling water inside him had reached its utmost limit.

His body temperature rose higher and higher, even causing the surrounding air to grow increasingly hot.

The flowers and grass on the ground all around him were being baked by the heat, withering, collapsing, yellowing, and cracking!

But Fang Hong was not focused on any of that.

He was focused on the energy consumption within his body.

His current situation was extraordinarily perilous.

Once the energy in his body was drained dry and not replenished in time,

he would likely become the first transmigrator in history to suck himself into a dried corpse through cultivation.

Thus, when he sensed that the energy within him was nearly exhausted, Fang Hong picked up another bottle of Water Origin Spirit Liquid and drank it.

One bottle after another!

As his body continued to contract and expand,

until, in the end, his body contracted straight to an extreme.

The clothes on his body had long since been burst apart by his previously swollen muscles.

Every piece of muscle looked as though it had been cast from steel—neither large nor bulky, yet incomparably sinewy and powerful.

His entire physique became leaner than before, fierce and full of strength.

Taking a closer look, Fang Hong's muscles seemed to possess a streamlined beauty.

A flawless, ultimate beauty.

One fraction more would make him seem cumbersome; one fraction less would make him seem gaunt.

Such a perfect body seemed as though it had been sculpted by the heavens themselves.

And to achieve his current transformation,

counting from the very beginning of his entry stage, Fang Hong had consumed a total of eight bottles of Water Origin Spirit Liquid!

One had to know that back in Fenshui Town, Fang Hong had tested it before.

Just a single drop of Water Origin Spirit Liquid had given him the feeling of being "stuffed full."

Yet this bout of cultivation had consumed a full eight bottles of Water Origin Spirit Liquid.

This showed just how much energy this cultivation session had devoured.

Without this Water Origin Spirit Liquid,

even if dozens of him were tied together and all sucked dry into corpses, cultivation would still have been impossible.

"Looks like from now on, I'll have to place energy-replenishing items like Water Origin Spirit Liquid on the same level of importance as cultivation manuals."

Fang Hong thought silently.

But then, sensing the terrifying power hidden within his body,

anticipation and excitement flashed through Fang Hong's eyes.

With only a light clench of his palm, there was a pop as the air in his hand was crushed apart.

Then he casually threw a punch.

Boom!!

A violent sonic boom erupted in an instant.

The powerful fist wind and airwave directly toppled every tree within several meters in front of his fist.

Dirt, grass, and branches flew wildly through the air, as though a gale had swept through.

The boatman waiting by the shore was so startled by the tremendous noise that he fell flat onto the ground.

His face filled with terror, he stared in that direction.

That guest seemed to have gone over there just now. What happened over there?

Did something happen to that guest? Should he hurry up and run away now?

The boatman's face turned pale as terrified thoughts raced endlessly through his mind.

Hiss!!

On Fang Hong's side, upon seeing the scene before him, he too sucked in a sharp breath.

So powerful!!

Even though he knew his strength would undergo earth-shaking changes after succeeding in this cultivation,

he still had not expected it to explode to such a terrifying extent.

In his previous world, boxing champion Tyson's right fist had possessed around eight hundred jin of force at his peak.

Even so, Fang Hong believed Tyson had still not trained every muscle in his body to its utmost limit.

But Fang Hong now had trained all 639 muscles in his body to an extreme state.

Moreover, he had tempered them to the limit with qi, blood, and inner force.

Therefore, even a casual punch from him was already who knew how many times more powerful than Tyson at his peak.

At any rate, Fang Hong had absolutely no idea what realm his true strength had reached now.

Because his cultivation realm was still only at Bone Refinement Great Accomplishment, close to perfection.

He could not even be called half a step into Marrow Refinement!

But if the current Fang Hong were to face that Crimson Spirit Sect disciple from before, who had already reached Marrow Refinement Great Accomplishment and was close to perfection,

he was confident that one punch could pound that fellow straight into a rain of blood and minced flesh filling the sky!

The kind that left behind not even a scrap of a corpse!

Terrifying indeed!

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Feeling the terrifying strength that had shocked even himself, Fang Hong burst into hearty laughter.

It was settled!

With such terrifying strength, joining the Star River Sect this time was absolutely as steady as an old dog!

Damn it, if the Star River Sect still refused to accept someone as powerful as him now,

he would immediately turn around and join the Crimson Spirit Sect instead.

A sect so short-sighted was not worth joining, nor was it worthy of having him join!

Of course, that possibility was infinitely close to impossible.

After all, as one of Tianhe Prefecture's only two major sects,

the Star River Sect could not possibly be so short-sighted.

Otherwise, the Crimson Spirit Sect would have wiped them out long ago.

After testing out his terrifying, unstoppable power for a while longer, Fang Hong returned to the boat.

The boat continued downstream, heading toward the Star River Sect.

Two days later.

Star River County.

It had naturally been given that name because the Star River Sect was located there.

The entire county city, as well as the vast surrounding lands, had all been granted to the Star River Sect by the imperial court.

It could be said that this place was a nation within a nation.

The Star River Sect possessed supreme authority here.

Upon entering the county city, even Fang Hong, who had seen many prosperous modern cities in his previous life,

could not help feeling like a country bumpkin entering the city.

Before his eyes were endless carriages and horses, a weaving tide of people, shoulders brushing against shoulders, and the cries of vendors rising and falling one after another.

Silhouettes of raised cups and revelers reflected in the flowered windows of taverns, while smoke curled upward between the tea stalls.

All kinds of shops lined both sides of the streets, and the rich bustle of everyday life filled the entire marketplace.

More importantly, many of the passing pedestrians carried all kinds of weapons.

Clearly, those people were martial artists.

Among the shops on both sides of the streets, every few steps revealed another establishment related to martial artists.

Weapon shops, herbal shops, armor shops, and all sorts of others.

Only now did Fang Hong truly feel that he had arrived in a world that belonged to martial artists.

An inexplicable wave of excitement and exhilaration rose in Fang Hong's heart.

He had finally arrived!

Looking into the distance, he saw a range of towering mountains that pierced the clouds.

That was where the Star River Sect was located!

Very soon, he would become one of them.

Then he would be able to obtain cultivation manuals to continue his training.

The road ahead was already in sight!

At that moment, Fang Hong inexplicably recalled a line from a funny web drama from his previous life.

Before long, I'll get promoted and receive a raise, become the general manager, take up the post of CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life. Just thinking about it gets me a little excited.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong shook his head with a smile, then took his luggage and prepared to find an inn to stay at.

After settling down, he would find an opportunity to ask about joining the Star River Sect.
