His cultivation had broken through, but Lin Feng did not stop upgrading.
As his cultivation technique upgraded, Lin Feng's presence grew stronger and stronger.
Another half hour passed before his presence stopped growing stronger.
It was not that Lin Feng had decided to stop upgrading, but that he had run out of points.
All 40,000 Energy Points had been consumed.
The expenditure was enormous, but his strength had also improved tremendously.
Before upgrading, Lin Feng's cultivation had only been at Body Tempering Ninth Grade, and his strength had only been at the second layer of the Qi Sea Realm.
But now, not only had Lin Feng's cultivation reached Qi Sea First Layer, he was also confident that his strength would let him trounce someone at Qi Sea Third Layer, or even fight an ordinary opponent at Qi Sea Fourth Layer.
Lin Feng was extremely satisfied with this improvement.
He had been prepared to spend ten days to half a month out here, but he had never expected that a single day and one group of Black Wind Bandits would bring him so close to completing his goal.
He stretched his body, and a series of cracks and pops rang out from his shifting bones.
He threw a punch, slamming it hard into the wall. The rock instantly shattered, leaving a large hole where his fist had struck.
Lin Feng could feel that his punching force had already reached around 2,000 kg. If he used the Black Iron Battle Physique as well, it would reach roughly 3,000 kg.
Moreover, his strength had undergone a transformation. In other words, Lin Feng could now blast apart someone at Qi Sea Third Layer using his physical strength alone.
He could also feel that streaks of brass had appeared on his Black Iron Battle Body. Presumably, it was not far from a breakthrough either.
Gathering up his spoils, Lin Feng left the cave.
After leaving the Black Wind Bandits' cave, Lin Feng punched the rock face above its entrance.
With a rumbling crash, the ground shook, and the Black Wind Bandits' base would never again appear before the eyes of the world.
Thinking that he had done another good deed, Lin Feng felt another surge of happiness.
The sky was slowly darkening, and Lin Feng did not intend to hurry back.
Taking out the tent he had prepared beforehand, Lin Feng also built a fire, planning to camp here tonight.
Once the fire was lit, Lin Feng darted into the depths of the forest.
A dozen or so minutes later, Lin Feng returned to the fire with an enormous exotic beast.
Ever since eating exotic beast meat last time, Lin Feng had grown fond of the experience.
Sure enough, the moment he stopped to rest, he had eagerly gone hunting for a Qi Sea Realm exotic beast.
The higher an exotic beast's rank, the better it tasted.
If he could have found a stronger exotic beast, Lin Feng would not have settled for this Qi Sea First Layer one.
The exotic beast looked somewhat like a pig. Lin Feng chopped off two legs, tossed the rest of the meat aside, took out various seasonings, and began roasting.
An hour later, smelling the fragrance wafting from the meat, Lin Feng could not help swallowing. That smells so good.
The beast legs had roasted to a golden color, their fragrance filling his nostrils.
With a swift bite, Lin Feng tore off a mouthful of beast meat, his eyes narrowing in bliss.
Bite after bite, one beast leg soon disappeared into Lin Feng's stomach.
Lin Feng discovered another advantage of being a Body Tempering martial artist: his digestion was so powerful that he did not have to worry about being too full to eat delicious food.
One beast leg was nowhere near enough to satisfy Lin Feng.
He picked up the other roasted beast leg and continued eating.
Yet while Lin Feng ate, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared nearby, watching him from the darkness.
Lin Feng had noticed these eyes long ago.
But right now, he had no time to deal with them.
At last, the final mouthful of meat went into Lin Feng's stomach.
Throwing away the bone in his hand and wiping his mouth, Lin Feng stood up.
He had eaten his fill. It was time to get to work.
The slaughter began again.
