Chapter 561 - 403: Foolish Humans
In his current state, Lin Feng is confident he can contend with a King.
Two cultivation techniques, one at the King Level, one at the Divine Level. Two soul skills, one Diamond-level, one Divine-level.
The cultivation techniques and soul skills, although both enhance physical strength, impart different transformations to the body.
When used simultaneously, Lin Feng transforms into an odd form that looks strange, but doesn’t diminish his aura in the slightest.
At first glance, it’s enough to shock and unforgettable.
"In this condition, a Martial King is simply not a match for me, unless confronted with a Spirit King who practices soul and martial dual cultivation!"
Lin Feng pondered to himself.
Of course, this applies to close combat; for ranged attacks, he might not be the opponent.
There’s still a gap from a top-level King.
Whether it’s a cultivation technique or soul skill, having just one is difficult for others, allowing one to stand above others.
Having all four is enough to shock and frighten everyone.
And this is without Nightmare Possession.
If Nightmare Possession were initiated, the sensory effects would increase tenfold, although it doesn’t enhance power, it allows for greater control over the body.
This enables better performance of one’s own strength.
The current state imposes a significant burden on the body.
Although Lin Feng hadn’t timed it, roughly after a minute or so, the body reaches its limits of collapse.
The arms are the first to yield, as if a scorching power is surging from within the arms, the skin begins to crack, accompanied by a stinging and burning sensation.
"Seems like it’s still not enough!"
Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by getting injured.
Before entering the Land of Chaos, simultaneously operating two cultivation techniques was already his limit; adding on "Demon Transformation", he couldn’t maintain it for a while, the body would directly collapse broadly.
Now, holding out for over a minute with four states is already quite surprising.
Exiting the "Six Arms" state, as the four arms behind disappeared, the extreme of collapse immediately ceased.
However, the original arms, after shedding the dark scales, still showed web-like cracks, looking somewhat eerie.
Lin Feng was prepared, retrieving a vial-sized Essence of Life from the cabinet above the washstand, poured it on his arms, which felt a tingling itch, and restored to their original state after a minute.
Next, Lin Feng started experimenting with the sequence of cultivation techniques and soul skills.
He possessed two cultivation techniques, with no difference in the order of their deployment.
But with soul skills and cultivation techniques, the different sequence makes a difference.
For instance, performing "Demon Transformation" first, then operating the "Fish Dragon Transformation" cultivation technique, the final transformed appearance is different, mainly based on "Demon Transformation".
If "Six Arms" is performed first and then "Demon Transformation", the effect varies too, with Demon Wings appearing in different positions.
"Blood Cry" primarily amplifies qi and blood, therefore, it doesn’t significantly alter the body, whether executed first or last makes no difference.
This means one cultivation technique and two soul skills provide nine combination modes, producing different effects.
Though the differences aren’t large, even a slight attribute difference in battle is critical, as it’s a matter of life.
Over half an hour, Lin Feng tried all the nine combination modes once.
Finally, he summarized the combination that yielded the strongest power.
Which is performing "Six Arms" first, following with "Demon Transformation", and then operating the "Fish Dragon Transformation". In this state, the six arms, including the wings, and the entire body are covered with dragon scales; power, defense, and speed are at their best.
Gradually halting the cultivation techniques and exiting the soul skill state, after recovery, Lin Feng poured a kilogram of Essence of Life into the bathtub and immersed himself in it.
If someone saw this scene, they might shout "rich man!"
Even typical wealthy individuals wouldn’t have the financial power, nor be willing.
The Essence of Life can enhance the vitality of the physical body, which is the reason it can treat injuries.
Vitality enhancement promotes cell division, strengthening the physical body.
A kilogram of Essence of Life, if sold individually, exceeds a billion in value and is difficult to acquire even with money.
Generally, it only appears at top-tier auctions.
Bathing with a billion, even an Emperor wouldn’t dare to be so extravagant.
Only someone like Lin Feng, who gained unexpected wealth and doesn’t lack money, would dare to be this arrogant.
Feeling his body slowly strengthening under the Essence of Life, Lin Feng gently closed his eyes, relaxing while beginning to review the gains from this key contest.
The gains this time were huge, far exceeding previous occasions.
The biggest gain was discovering He Jun’s ability.
Indeed, it was that mysterious sacrificial ability that allowed his martial arts power to reach the peak of Grandmaster, nearly reaching the Ninth Grade Lingyun Realm.
This saved him at least a year’s time.
Moreover, his physical strength enhanced a notch.
Martial Arts Ninth Grade.
The first five grades involve opening veins, then refining flesh, muscles, and bones.
After reaching the Sixth Grade Realm, enhancing Martial Arts Realm mainly involves increasing the total spiritual power and control over it, offering limited physical enhancement.
Even a Martial King, if unprepared, might be killed by an ordinary person.
No matter how strong the body, if without spiritual power possession or without cultivating body-refining techniques, it cannot resist blades and swords.
Currently, Lin Feng’s physical strength surpasses that of typical King-level experts.
This is due to the sacrificial feedback power’s overall enhancement of physical attributes and benefits from refining the key.
Even though he closed the Land of Chaos and the key vanished, the refining process tempered his body once.
