Wei Fan woke again in the afternoon.
"System, add points!"
Wei Fan called up his status panel.
Name: Wei Fan Cultivation Art: Tiger's Breath Art, True Intent Level True Intent State: Effects, Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might. Iron Ridge Art, Fourth Layer (Extreme Breakthrough available) Three Yuan Battle Art, Fifth Layer (Extreme Breakthrough available) Silver Light Saber Art, Slight Accomplishment (Upgradeable) Energy: 12
Of his current cultivation arts, both the Iron Ridge Art and the Three Yuan Battle Art could undergo an Extreme Breakthrough!
Judging by their levels, the Three Yuan Battle Art was stronger than the Iron Ridge Art.
"System, how much Energy does the Three Yuan Battle Art need for an Extreme Breakthrough?" Wei Fan asked.
"Ding. An Extreme Breakthrough for the Three Yuan Battle Art requires 50 Energy points. The host currently has insufficient Energy!"
"Fifty Energy points?" Wei Fan took a deep breath. It seemed he would not be able to improve the Three Yuan Battle Art anytime soon.
Still, since an Extreme Breakthrough required so much Energy, the Three Yuan Battle Art's power after breaking through would surely be terrifyingly monstrous.
Now, only the Iron Ridge Art and the Silver Light Saber Art remained.
One was a body-tempering art that could greatly increase his defense.
The other was a saber art that could greatly improve his killing power in actual combat.
"How much Energy does the Iron Ridge Art need for an Extreme Breakthrough?" Wei Fan asked again.
"Ding. An Extreme Breakthrough for the Iron Ridge Art requires 10 Energy points."
Hearing this, Wei Fan nodded, a plan forming in his heart.
"Iron Ridge Art, Extreme Breakthrough!"
Wei Fan silently recited it in his heart.
Boom!
A surge of Energy appeared from nowhere and exploded inside Wei Fan's body.
Bang!
Wei Fan's body rapidly swelled, growing from 1.8 meters to 2.4 meters. He looked like a small giant, his muscles bulging all over as his skin gleamed with a dark bluish-black sheen.
"What incredible strength!" Wei Fan felt his power rise once more.
Previously, his pure physical strength had already reached six thousand jin. After the Iron Ridge Art underwent an Extreme Breakthrough, Wei Fan felt his strength double, smashing past the ten-thousand-jin threshold.
If he added the threefold burst of the Three Yuan Battle Art, that would be thirty thousand jin of tremendous strength!
The changes were still continuing!
Cracks appeared across his originally bluish-black skin, and streaks of golden light burst from the gaps, spreading over his entire body like a spiderweb.
Wei Fan drew the Wild Goose Wing Saber and slashed his own arm with all his might.
Clang!
Sparks burst from the blade. His arm was completely unharmed, without even a white mark left behind.
"My defense is so strong now that even I can't cut myself?" Wei Fan could not help drawing a cold breath.
Then, to test it again, he took out a Little Flame Talisman and stuck it to the saber hilt.
Clang!
The same ear-piercing metallic clash rang out.
Wei Fan's entire body seemed forged from fine steel. Even with the Little Flame Talisman's enchantment, it could not harm him in the slightest.
"True Intent State—activate!" An invisible pressure radiated from Wei Fan's body. Black Tiger Stripes spread onto the saber, and a freezing glint flashed across its edge.
"I want to see where my limit lies!" Wei Fan slashed down again.
Clang!
The Wild Goose Wing Saber was knocked away once more, leaving a faint white mark on Wei Fan's arm.
"With defense like this, ordinary Black Nether monsters should be unable to hurt me!" Wei Fan muttered.
Killing the Black Nether had earned him 12 Energy points. Breaking through the Iron Ridge Art had consumed 10, leaving 2. Wei Fan decided to improve the Silver Light Saber Art again.
A few seconds later, the Silver Light Saber Art advanced from Slight Accomplishment to the realm of Entering the Hall and Entering the Room.
Then Wei Fan looked at his status panel.
Name: Wei Fan Cultivation Art: Tiger's Breath Art, True Intent Level True Intent State: Effects, Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might. Iron Ridge Art, True Intent Extreme True Intent State: Effects, Immovable as a Ridge, Counter Shock, Counter Injury. Three Yuan Battle Art, Fifth Layer (Extreme Breakthrough available) Silver Light Saber Art, Entering the Hall and Entering the Room (Upgradeable) Energy: 0
Besides the True Intent: Tiger's Breath, he had also gained the Iron Ridge True Intent.
Wei Fan did not know what effect the two True Intents would produce when layered together.
In short, after exhausting all his Energy this time, Wei Fan's strength had increased enormously.
The next time he faced monsters, he would have much more confidence.
After familiarizing himself with his strength, Wei Fan walked out of his room.
Wei Yingying was also catching up on sleep. She had worried about Wei Fan's safety last night and had not slept all night.
Now that Wei Fan was home, she could finally sleep peacefully.
As dusk approached in the blink of an eye, Wei Fan strapped the Wild Goose Wing Saber to his back, brought several pieces of beef jerky, and headed toward the Night Watch Team's camp.
It was now the height of May, and the temperature was gradually rising.
Clusters of flame-red clouds grazed across the sky like a great fire burning overhead.
Wei Fan slowed his pace as well and looked up at the rosy glow filling the heavens.
But just then, a sudden change erupted!
The sky abruptly darkened, and a black ocean blanketed the horizon.
Boom!
Deep within that ocean, an indescribable creature turned over.
An icy, terrifying, sinister aura crashed toward them.
It even stirred up black waves a hundred meters high, shrouding heaven and earth as they came howling forward, as if they would overturn the entire world.
"Aaaah!"
"Help!"
"Divine punishment has descended from the heavens!"
A wave of terror and commotion erupted throughout Wushan Village.
How could ordinary people not be frightened by such a sight?
Wei Fan also felt his mind tremble.
He realized that the black ocean appearing in the sky was merely an illusion.
Even so, the oppressive presence of that enormous creature and the deathly terror brought by the tsunami still left people gasping for breath.
