Almost all Byzantium worshipped and thanked Sun Fei as a savior.
Because they all understood that if King of Chambord hadn't extended a helping hand to the Byzantium when they were in their most difficult time, and hadn't subsequently gifted them a large quantity of fine armor and weapons, they would still be that weak southern nation that everyone could bully, and their King Constantine would not have been able to historically break into the top ten of the southern ranking tournament.
However, Sun Fei did not stay there for too long.
His main purpose in coming here was to address the internal organ damage suffered by the Byzantium king after practicing the Seven Injuries Fist.
After a thorough examination, Sun Fei indeed discovered that after practicing the Seven Injuries Fist, the young Byzantium king's internal organs had developed some significant problems. His heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and other vital organs had suffered varying degrees of damage, and the injuries were even more severe than Sun Fei had previously predicted.
Sun Fei guessed that this might be because Constantine was too eager to achieve quick results with the Seven Injuries Fist. Although he mastered the Seven Injuries Fist in a short period of time, his overly aggressive and hasty approach caused an even more severe backlash.
"This is a Six-Star Class Wood-Element Dou Qi manual. It only records the methods for refining and improving Dou Qi qi and the methods for nourishing the body with Wood-Element Dou Qi. It can be used in conjunction with the [ Seven Injuries Fist ] to nourish oneself with Wood-Element Dou Qi and activate the Seven Injuries Fist, which will multiply its power. It can also nourish the internal organs and temporarily alleviate and suppress the damage that the fist technique causes to the internal organs."
The Six-Star Class Dou Qi manual that Sun Fei gave to Constantine was a copy, and its source was, of course, that mysterious expert.
Over the past few days, every time Sun Fei met the mysterious expert, he would mutter some very targeted questions. Although the mysterious expert was sparing with words and rarely answered directly, when he saw Sun Fei again the next day, he would always give Sun Fei some of Emperor Yassin's notes or high-level Dou Qi or magic manuals that were only available in the imperial armory, and let Sun Fei study them to solve his doubts.
Seeing this rare opportunity, Sun Fei seized the chance to ask for some secret manuals he desperately needed, not for his own use, but to strengthen the power of his subordinates.
For example, this Wood-Element Dou Qi manual was specially prepared for the Byzantium king.
In the novel of his previous life, Zhang Wuji could skillfully use the Seven Injuries Fist without being harmed by the recoil from the punches because this leader of the Ming Cult had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, possessing extremely profound internal energy. This not only completely negated the recoil but also allowed him to unleash the Seven Injuries Fist's peak combat power. Therefore, Sun Fei pondered that although he couldn't give Constantine a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Wood-Element Dou Qi in this world had a similar gentle, protective effect to the internal energy in his previous life, possessing significant healing properties. So, using Wood-Element Dou Qi to activate the Seven Injuries Fist should solve the problem.
In fact, just to be on the safe side, Sun Fei had previously tested the Wood-Element Dou Qi manual on himself several times, taking advantage of the fact that his body was unable to cultivate Dou Qi techniques. After confirming that it was effective, he handed the manual over to the King of Byzantium.
A Six-Star Class Dou Qi manual is of immeasurable value. In some vassal states, it would be priceless. King of Byzantium Constantine was deeply grateful to Sun Fei. After accepting the manual, he thanked him profusely and repeatedly wanted to host a banquet for Sun Fei, but Sun Fei declined.
Because at this time, His Majesty the King indeed had too many things to do.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the Empire Ranking Competition. The battles ahead will be even more brutal, with many experts. If you're unlucky, your life could be in danger. Therefore, Sun Fei must find a way to further improve the strength of the leaders of Chambord before the competition begins.
After returning to the Chambord camp, Sun Fei once again chose to go into seclusion.
However, during this seclusion, he did not enter the Diablo World. Instead, he switched to [ Assassin Mode ], feeling the flow of [ True Qi Power] within his body, and conducted a final test and examination of the Dou Qi techniques he had redesigned and reorganized over the past few days.
After an initial period of rapid progress, the martial arts advancements of the main leaders of Chambord have recently begun to slow down, no longer progressing at a breakneck pace as before.
Sun Fei knew that this was not due to a lack of ability on the part of Lampard, Drogba, and others.
After undergoing the transformation with the [ Hulk Potion ], these individuals' Dou Qi channels and physical resilience were greatly enhanced, effectively altering their aptitude. Even if they couldn't compare to those with Zongheng, they were definitely considered geniuses in their own right.
Therefore, the real reason why their progress in strength has slowed down is that the level of the Dou Qi techniques they have practiced is too low. After all, the moves Sun Fei created before, such as [ Lightning Lightspeed Fist ], [ Sekishiki Shock Wave of Corpse Qi], [ Holy Sword Excalibur ], and [ Great Horn ], were all created by referring to some low-level Dou Qi manuals of two or three Star Class obtained from storage rings and the priest Mazzola of the Chambord City Church. Even after Sun Fei combined the power of truth of [ Assassin Mode ] and added Dou Qi channels, the level of these moves is still barely around Four-Star Class.
Lampard was able to raise his strength to the Five-Star Class Intermediate Stage rank by relying on a Four-Star Class Advanced Stage -ranking [ Lightning Lightspeed Fist ] manual because this former number one expert of Chambord City was hiding some secrets that Sun Fei could not understand. Other military and political leaders of Chambord City were not so powerful, and most of them remained at the Four-Star Class Peak Stage.
These Four-Star Class techniques limited their potential for further improvement in strength.
Therefore, as time went by, creating a higher-level Dou Qi manual for the hammers became an urgent matter for Sun Fei to consider.
Over the past few days, Sun Fei, through persistent nagging and shamelessness, managed to obtain numerous high-level Dou Qi manuals from the Imperial Armory from the mysterious powerhouse. Referring to these manuals and utilizing the flow pathways of True Qi qi under [ Assassin Mode ], Sun Fei reworked Lampard's [ Lightning Lightspeed Fist ], the [ Great Horn ] of the [ Heng and Ha Generals ] and the Excalibur [ Excalibur ], Warden Oleg's [ Sekishiki Shock Wave ], and other major martial arts techniques led by Chambord. He opened up more Dou Qi channels, ultimately successfully elevating these techniques to the level of Seven-Star Class Dou Qi skills.
The Seven-Star Class martial arts secret technique is enough for the main leaders of Chambord to cultivate for a period of time.
It took Sun Fei more than four hours to finally compile a total of more than a dozen new Dou Qi manuals.
Having done all this, and seeing that there was still plenty of time, they summoned the leaders of Chambord one by one to the King's tent, and under the guise of rewarding Pierce, Drogba, and others for their outstanding performance in the war zone ranking competition, bestowed upon them new Dou Qi manuals.
" Seven-Star level Dou Qi manual?" Upon seeing the booklet bestowed by His Majesty the King, everyone was astonished and shocked, their hands trembling.
Even within the entire empire, a martial arts manual of this caliber would be considered an absolute rare find. Even the Judgment Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall only cultivate Dou Qi manuals at around seven or eight Star Class. It's no exaggeration to say that the entire Zenit Empire possesses no more than a hundred Seven-Star Class Dou Qi manuals, most of which were created by Emperor Yassin and are extremely difficult to cultivate. Otherwise, the experts of the Knights' Hall wouldn't have remained at the Six-Star Class level for so long.
"You must remember this well: possessing a Seven-Star level manual does not mean you can easily cultivate to the Seven-Star Class. The path of a martial artist is always forged with blood and sweat. This manual only provides you with the possibility of cultivating into a top-level expert."
Taking in the ecstatic and shocked expressions of the Chambord generals, Sun Fei didn't forget to pour cold water on his men. "Always remember, only men with extraordinary perseverance and genuine hard work can ultimately step into the ranks of high-level Star-Rank Warrior. Don't forget, Six-Star Class is the first threshold on the path of all Star-Rank Warrior' cultivation. Crossing it gives you a chance to reach the Moon Class; failing to cross it means you'll be stuck for life. If any of you fail to cross this hurdle, then you will never be able to obtain higher-level cultivation methods from me."
Sun Fei's words were not an exaggeration.
Even though he leveled up by relying on the Diablo World, he still lingered at the Six-Star Class level for a while due to a lack of control over power and skill in exerting force, as well as a lack of martial arts theory and foundation. In the end, it was only with the help of a mysterious powerhouse who saw through his predicament and used Emperor Yassin's two notebooks to help Sun Fei break through the bottleneck that he was able to soar into the Seven-Star Class level. After that, his strength progressed rapidly.
For a monster like Sun Fei, who has never known what a bottleneck is, it took him more than half a month to cross the Six-Star Class. For ordinary people, the difficulty of this is even more unimaginable. Sun Fei said this because he did not want the experts in Chambord to become dependent on his schedule and give up or slack off in their own efforts.
"We will heed Your Majesty's teachings and will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
Everyone knelt on one knee to express their gratitude to His Majesty the King.
Sun Fei gestured for everyone to leave the tent, leaving only Čech, Warden Oleg, and Torres behind.
" The Empire Ranking Competition begins tomorrow, and this time I will bestow upon you the complete Cloth."
As Sun Fei spoke, a white light flashed from his storage ring, and three square black iron boxes, each a meter in size, appeared in the tent. The boxes were crafted from [ Demon Remains ] and [ Black Iron Essence ], and were exceptionally exquisite, with lifelike carvings. They depicted a majestic centaur archer with a drawn bow, a ferocious crab with massive legs, and a graceful giant scorpion with a tail that curled up like a hook, radiating a chilling light.
Second update. He's probably on the train now. Hope he gets home safely.
Happy New Year everyone.
