Volume 2: The Heaven-Opening Sword of Vast Desire Chapter 156: Shallow Foundation First Update

  The first update

  As soon as Feng Shi San Lang executed the Devouring Soul Decree, his body began to frantically absorb the free-roaming spiritual energy in the surrounding air like a bottomless pit. Three minutes later, after his Qi Dan had completed one cycle of running through the ten layers of meridians, the area around Feng Shi San Lang's body also rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forming a nine-colored vortex of energy. Although this vortex was not as intense as the one created by the Red Lotus Divine Cauldron earlier, it was still many times stronger than Feng Shi San Lang's usual absorption of spiritual energy during his breathing exercises.

  The sudden appearance of the energy vortex caused the beautiful women squatting around Feng Shisanlang to lunge forward in a flash, almost falling onto his body. Fortunately, they were all skilled and quickly regained their balance, straightening their slender figures.

  The worried look has been completely replaced by shock, beautiful people, except for Gong Lingyuan, the worried look on their faces all turned into deep shock when they saw the nine-color energy vortex.

  "Has the promotion started? Is it a fifth-grade warrior or...?" Everyone was guessing in their hearts, and only Gong Lingyuan had a calm and composed expression, sitting alone on the bed, waiting quietly.

  The vortex caused by the intense energy being absorbed into Fēng Shísān Láng's body was sustained as the Dòu Qì Gāo Dàn inside him continued to circulate.

  When the Thirteenth Young Master had gone through twenty-three cycles, he suddenly felt that the energy within his body should be enough for him to thoroughly advance to the Sixth Rank. Although he still hoped to continue maintaining this crazy scene of devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his rationality told him that being greedy was not always good; he was already able to continuously advance two ranks by absorbing so much spiritual energy from heaven and earth in one day, which was originally difficult to achieve, and at this point, his realm had become a bit illusory. If he continued to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was unknown whether he could advance to the Seventh Rank. Even if he could advance to the Seventh Rank, his foundation was really too unstable.

  Looking back, the former genius scientist Feng Hua who didn't know martial arts and the ultimate waste product Feng Shisanlang, after twenty days of soul fusion, the new Feng Shisanlang has grown from not knowing any martial arts to now being on the verge of advancing to a sixth-grade fighter.

  The newly-born Feng Thirteen Lang spent less than twenty days to cultivate from scratch to a sixth-grade fighter, this terrifying cultivation talent is unprecedented and unmatched; but Feng Thirteen Lang also knew that although he had risked his life to make many desperate efforts for this, his path of cultivation was still too terrifying compared to many normal people.

  This is his only shortcoming, an unstable foundation!

  Taking the same birthday as Beidong Piaoxue and Feng Shisanlang, Beidong Piaoxue, who also had excellent innate talent, started practicing Qi at the age of five, began learning magic at seven, successfully opened up all twelve regular meridians in his body at ten, cultivated a Douqi Dansheng and became a genuine warrior, became a mage at eleven, and by thirteen years old, Beidong Piaoxue was already a second-class warrior and third-class mage.

  But just yesterday, Beidong Piaoxue also successfully advanced to the third-grade warrior and third-grade mage. This situation is still under the influence of Feng Shisanlang's desperate cultivation, which made Beidong Piaoxue more diligent in cultivating his martial energy.

  Beidong Piaoxue spent eight years growing into a third-grade warrior and third-grade mage, while Feng Shisanlang has grown to the point of being promoted to sixth-grade warrior in just eighteen years. The gap between them clearly highlights that Feng Shisanlang's efforts are more arduous than Beidong Piaoxue's, as well as the overbearing nature of his cultivation method, the Devouring Soul Decision.

  But what about the foundation?

  Feng Thirteen Lang's current foundation is severely unstable. From scratch, he spent 12 days to break through the peak of Dou Zhi Jin's Twelve Brocades and officially became a first-class Dou soldier who can condense Dou Qi into a Dan in his Dantian. Then, he spent another day and night torturing himself by piercing all the extraordinary meridians in his body, and received a large amount of Dou Qi from Gong Lingyuan, which allowed him to leapfrog from eighth rank to ninth rank Dou soldier. After that, Feng Thirteen Lang spent only one day and night devouring the massive energy of Feng Caiyi, and leaped to become the peak of third-class Dou warrior. He then broke through to fourth-class Dou warrior in his battle with Dongfang Jian. Finally, he cultivated the Golden Giant Hammer for a day and the Fierce Tiger Ninefold Fist for another day. Now, due to devouring the powerful Ling Qi from the Spirit Gathering Array, he is about to leapfrog two ranks to become a sixth-class Dou warrior within the next few minutes, or even possibly seventh or eighth rank Dou warrior.

  These days, Feng Thirteen Lang has been busy increasing the amount of Dou Qi, but he doesn't have any extra time to consolidate his fourth-grade warrior realm. This makes his foundation extremely unstable, and almost every one or two days, he advances under coincidental circumstances, without having time to solidify his foundation.

  After reconsidering these things in his heart for a moment, Feng Thirteen Lang made a decision: "It's time to stop continuing to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Being a sixth-grade warrior is enough. For the next six months, I hope I won't advance again."

  For the next six months, I will work even harder to thoroughly solidify my unstable foundation and firmly establish it at the peak of a sixth-grade warrior. As for becoming a seventh-grade warrior, let's put that aside for now; an unstable foundation would likely create huge obstacles for my future cultivation path, so I'll resist the temptation to advance to a seventh-grade warrior.

  When I have time, I will practice magic and learn the art of alchemy and equipment refinement. Who knows, in half a year's time, if I were to meet a pure mage general or marshal on the Dragon Fighting Arena, even if I had advanced to the rank of Dou General, it would still be difficult for me to win if I didn't understand magic at all.

  "Mages are said to be a bit stronger than warriors at the same level... Ah, so I'll stop using Overlord's Soul Devourer for now."

  These thoughts flashed through Feng Shisan's mind, and in the end, Feng Shisan made a thorough decision and began to put it into action.

  He resolutely ran the Dou Qi Dan for the twenty-third cycle, then let the Dou Qi Dan return to the Dan Tian. Immediately after, he began compressing the Nine Heavens' Spiritual Energy that had been rapidly absorbed and in the cycles of circulating his meridians, had already refined it into his own Dou Qi's Dou Qi Dan.

  Compression, compression, compressing to the point of no return; The thirteen Lang Dan Tian's internal Qi ball was rapidly rotating inside his body under the compression of his heart's intention. Under this pressure, a sixth liquid-like Qi energy pattern had thoroughly condensed on the surface; At this time, the internal Qi of the Qi ball also tended to liquefy further.
