Chapter 178: Soldiers Engage in a Dangerous Move, Breaking Through One More Time

Xing Wuyi carefully put away the metal box. He used eyes that contained grief to look around the entire room. It was only until this moment that he remained unwilling to admit what had happened. Du Zhanpeng, who was qualified to be an ambitious and ruthless person of this generation, had left this world.

He sat on the wooden bed, and Xing Wuyi gently opened the drawer of the desk.

There was a black diary, and it didn’t possess any passwords.

He slowly opened the diary. There weren’t any emotions that feigned profoundness inside, nor were there any feelings of a youngster. This was a diary that was used to record his own growth and comprehensive quality.

There were analyses of weapons inside. There were insights toward using biochemical beasts. There were analyses of current political situations. At the same time, there were insights in regards to martial arts and cultivation.

Xing Wuyi gently closed the diary. He silently laid on Du Zhanpeng’s bed, falling asleep unknowingly.

The hall where Du Hen was located slowly had its doors opened. Du Yu carried a paper document in his hands as he arrived before Du Hen. He spoke in a very soft voice. “Father.”

“Speak.”

Du Hen leaned against the expensive chair carved of wood. There was a fatigue unspeakable seen on his forehead.

“Zhanpeng’s heart has been pierced. He even transfused his blood to that Du Peng before he left.” Du Yu was like a secretary reporting to his boss. He said, “Based on speculation, he probably also transfused the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art to Du Peng. In this case, Du Peng has the chance to cultivate the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Art. After he wakes up, should we….”

Du Hen waved the wisteria cane in his hand, interrupting Du Yu’s report. “Recruiting Du Peng? Such a stupid proposal absolutely wouldn’t appear from Zhanpeng’s mouth.”

“Father, sir, what you say is right.” Du Yu stood perfectly straight. “However, Zhanpeng has left us, and we need a successor. The chance of recruiting Du Peng is small, but—”

“There is no need.” Du Hen held the wisteria cane and gently rapped it against the ground. “You are still young. Just have two more. As for Du Peng, he can have his future younger brothers successfully cultivate the mystical art. He can be the second stage’s human cauldron.”

“Yes, father.” Du Yu gently stooped into a bow. “There are two more things. The first thing. If I were to have two more children, is Du Peng’s mother needed for one of them?”

“Of course.” Du Hen’s hands clasped together, supporting his chin. His eyes pulsated with the ice-cold light of the Viper King. “Though she is a bit old, her blood is still the most suitable. We will have two children both being human cauldrons for my most beloved future grandson. The entire family’s blood will be gathered, and I refuse to believe that it is impossible to create a descendant that can seize the title of Qilin!”

“Understood, father.” Du Yu spoke with extreme reverence and respect. “The last thing. My two nephews, Du Chaoqun and Du Chaopeng have also received news of Zhanpeng’s departure. Right now there is a bit of an uproar.”

“Humph…” The ice-cold light flickered at the bottom of Du Hen’s eyes. “Those two little frolicking clowns… there is no need to pay heed to them. They aren’t able to set off any large surges.”

“Yes.” Du Yu walked back out of the room.

The hall had its deathly quiet restored to it. Du Hen slowly stood up. He placed his two hands very casually behind his back and used his two eyes, which contained not a hint of emotion, to stare at the room where Qin Fen was located.

He walked to the second story as if taking a stroll, and he casually pushed opened the door to Qin Fen’s room.

Du Hen was a bit shocked at the posture with which Qin Fen lay on the ground in sleep. This man, who seemed to be like a nail before, actually toppled to the ground upon entering the room, falling asleep.

Du Hen squatted down to look at Qin Fen. The shock, which had just faded away from his forehead, reappeared. He had never seen a four-star martial artist recover his strength to such a valiant degree. The energy stream of the body didn’t look like the usual natural recovery and growth. Instead, it was like the true energy storage machine of advanced martial artist technology engaging in a simulation of the replenishment of true energy. The speed was indeed so quick that it was too shocking.

Curious, Du Hen reached to press a hand against Qin Fen’s back.

This time, the shock on Du Hen’s forehead transferred to his eyes. Qin Fen’s muscles were loose enough to be as soft as water, but his heartbeat was strong and powerful, like a small drum beating without end.

Du Hen took back his hand, and he quietly observed Qin Fen.

Half an hour passed, and Du Hen shock grew with the passing of time. With this much time having passed, there were hints within Qin Fen’s aura that he was actually about to make a breakthrough.

“Could it be that he isn’t recovering? Instead, is he cultivating even in his sleep?”

Du Hen was a bit uncertain. If Qin Fen was really cultivating even in his sleep, wouldn’t that mean he had double the time to cultivate when compared to other people?

Another half an hour passed, and Du Hen was even more baffled. According to the expanding aura and energy, Qin Fen should have long since excited forth innate true energy and broken through from the four-star to the five-star level. Why was it that this young man had yet to excite forth innate true energy?

Du Hen extended an index finger. Strands and strands of innate true energy pulsated on his fingertips. All he needed to do was to give a simple tap, and even if Qin Fen was unable to excite forth innate true energy, Qin Fen could rely on Du Hen’s strand of innate true energy to cross into the five-star realm.

Qin Fen was totally oblivious to the outside world and the fact that Du Hen was standing beside him. The true energy within his body had long since surged up like a raging river. Right now, it was already a miracle that Qin Fen was able to feel the bumps of his meridians. It was now impossible for him to continue gaining complete control over his true energy over the dips in the road, with its up and down undulations, to advanced his true energy forward.

Qin Fen believed himself to lack the ability to accomplish this in a short period of time. He needed to spend a long time working hard in training. He placed his goal back on to breaking through from the four-star level into the five-star meteor level once again.

The master hadn’t clearly told Qin Fen where innate true energy came from. Qin Fen could only search endlessly. His true energy was like locusts, surging wildly within his meridians over the place. This was already the form of breaking through to the next level. Only after breaking through to the next level could he cultivates in a basic cultivation technique to have his energy streams to be like large coursing rivers. However, right now circulating cultivation techniques would remain as slow as a snail.

Qin Fen was situated in an extremely awkward state. The cultivation techniques of the four-star level utilize true energy to be like a large raging river. However, it was incapable of breaking open the gates to the five-star level meridians. It was even more impossible to cultivate in the first stage of five-star level cultivation techniques.

Such bizarre circumstances were practically never encountered before in the past. Even if someone had encountered them, they would have a senior expert help out by transfusing in natural energy into their body, triggering the cultivator’s innate true energy within his body and helping him make his breakthrough to the next level.

Five hours passed….

The innate true energy continued to pulsate at Du Hen’s fingertip. He looked at Qin Fen with great curiosity. This young man could be considered to possess a first-rate aptitude. Why was he incapable of completing a breakthrough in its totality? There had never been a person to have circumstances such as these. What else could happen in these circumstances?

Du Hen was very curious about something else as well. If the martial artist was unable to ascend to the next level even though he met all the requirements to, and true energy continues to rise without end due to the surges, what would the end result be?

Qin Fen, after five hours, had the bones of his body already crackling like lightning or firecrackers, ringing without end. His skin began to break down along with the circulation of true energy. The flow of true energy beneath his skin could be seen with the naked eye.

It was as if there was a tiny mouse underneath his skin, and it moved around at quick speeds without end.

“Will the body explode and die?” Du Hen retracted his innate true energy. He raised a hand to rub his chin. “If he is able to make a breakthrough at this time, the quantity of his energy will far exceed that of a normal five-star martial artist, right?”

“Innate true energy! Where the hell is innate true energy located??” Qin Fen felt himself about to go mad. If it weren’t for the fact that his control ability over true energy far exceeded that of a normal person, the endless expansion of true energy would have long turned into a wild horse out of control.

Qin Fen had at most one more hour. He was very clear about his own state. If he was unable to find the location of the innate true energy within this one hour, the true energy of his body would truly go out of control. When that happens, he could only stare helplessly at the endless growth of his true energy until his death

“This is bad! I need to think of a way. I need to think of a way.”

Qin Fen strove to calm himself down. He needed to send off a portion of true energy within his body. If he was in his clearheaded states, he could simply unleash the Raging Berserker Tide without end, and this would drain out his excess true energy.

Strand of ice-cold frigid intent was transmitted through his neck. There was a weak strand of light coming from the darkness over there. That strand of light contained an ice-cold freshness that was indescribable.

“The throats?” Qin Fen was baffled as well why was there such a strange sensation at the throat? Qin Fen was in no position to ponder any longer. If he were to continue wasting time, he would no longer have the ability to guide his true energy over to that location.

He hurriedly sent his true energy toward that strand of ice-cold light. His true energy was truly akin to the Yellow River entering the ocean. When it entered the refreshing light, it didn’t return.

Du Hen was shocked by Qin Fen’s body for a moment. He blurted out, “A biochemical beast egg?”

The biochemical beast egg that hung from Qin Fen’s neck did something in this moment of silence. It bloomed with seven lustrous colors that were indescribable. Occasionally the colors were gentle, and occasionally the colors were domineering.

“What’s this…?” Du Hen carefully observed the biochemical beast on Qin Fen’s neck. Du Hen possessed an eminent status, yet why was it that he had never seen this biochemical beast egg, which seems to be newly developed?

However, he had never seen the biochemical beast egg before his eyes.

Qin Fen found the release points for his true energy. He relaxed for a few seconds, but after, he was no longer able to relax. The true energy within his body had already formed a loop. The growing true energy was in no way slower than the release of true energy. On the contrary, there was a faint trend in surpassing the release.

Qin Fen felt that he was truly going to go mad. Why did the figure of light have to appear today and force him to engage in breakthrough training?

Gotta find it! Gotta find it! Gotta find it!

There was no other way for the sake of survival, Qin Fen would stake it all!

Since the true energy had to be excited forth, then he would excite over and over! If he didn’t know where his innate true energy was located, then he would bombard indiscriminately!

Though there was the possibility that he would simply die by bombarding in this way, not bombarding would lead him to certain death. Why not stake it all?

The flood of true energy was akin to an enormous raging river. In an instant, it was forcefully torn apart by Qin Fen’s enormous willpower, transforming into countless small streams of true energy. Each stream of true energy was responsible for one acupuncture point. In the same instant, the true energy came crashing down on all acupuncture points, aside from the acupuncture points that were lethal if made contact with.

In this instant, it was as if there were countless arrowheads seeking to break through his body from beneath Qin Fen’s skin. It was as if hundreds of thousands of toothpicks were propping up together from beneath his skin, and his entire body turned incomparably terrifying.

Du Hen, who had seen many spectacles before in the past, had his eyes bulge as wide as saucers when he saw this scene.

He knew what Qin Fen was doing at this moment. At the same time, he secretly’s said to himself in his heart, “Has this kid gone mad? Is he stimulating practically all the acupuncture points in his body at the same time?”

In this instant of stimulation Qin Fen finally felt an endless throbbing of pulsation from the acupuncture point of his brain. There was a force, like there was something being pressed down.

Qin Fen never expected that the innate true energy would be hidden away in this nearly fatal acupuncture point. He didn’t dare to have his true energy attack the acupuncture point of the brain. He knew that the impact he released just now wasn’t enough. As long as he continued to press in spurts, like squeezing out toothpaste, he could squeeze out the innate true energy from the acupuncture point of his brain.

The true energy that propped up against the skin like toothpicks instantly faded down. Qin Fen’s body turned calm once more. The methods he used, battering with all his might, would have caused him to instantly pass out from the pain if he were awake.

This was no longer the type of pain that could be persevered just by relying on willpower.

Qin Fen was situated in a dream state. Though he cried and howled again and again about the pain, he was unable to pass out.

If it were anybody else in such circumstances, they would probably be hopeless. It was only Qin Fen who could continue to cultivate in his dreams, and this was what will save his life.

He collected his true energy, and he suddenly expanded out once again. Du Hen subconsciously leaned back. He had felt an illusion. The true energy right now could have pierced through Qin Fen’s body.

Bang!

It was as if electricity struck Qin Fen’s heart. His entire body bounced two times. The barrier to the acupuncture point of the brain was finally broken open, and a tiny brook of fresh true energy came pouring out. Something happened with the true energy that was diffused over his body; they were like something made of iron encountering a magnet. They didn’t need Qin Fen’s control to have them stick close to each other.

In this moment, Qin Fen’s entire body felt a comfortableness unprecedented. It was as if there were six or seven of the best masseuses giving him a massage.

“He has broken through?”

Du Hen studied Qin Fen once again, his eyes revealing an additional hint of admiration.

He really admired the guts of this young man for actually daring to do such a dangerous thing. He admired Qin Fen even more for his judgment, for making prompt decisions during a crisis. Qin Fen had been direct and efficient!

“First-class decision-making ability.” Du Hen slowly nodded. “He might be better than Zhanpeng in this regard.”

“Congratulations on breaking through….”

The figure of light’s words fell, and a cultivation circulation diagram was branded in Qin Fen’s mind. It was a new stage of the cultivation technique that was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

The cultivation technique diagram was branded successfully, his strength made a breakthrough, and his body recovered. Qin Fen then regained consciousness from his deep sleep.

Before he even opened his eyes, Qin Fen could feel the cells of his body pulsated with power. He slightly mobilized the true energy of the five-star meteor level, and the exciting power made him think of a few words.

The power of an elephant!

When the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was cultivated to the top level, one could possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons.

Qin Fen had only heard of this rumor, but he had never experienced it for himself.

At this moment, Qin Fen began to be convinced that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art could perhaps allow one to possess the power of ten elephants and ten dragons.

Qin Fen slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Du Hen by his side, he was stunned.

The two were situated quite close to each other. How was it that Qin Fen was unable to feel even a hint of Du Hen’s existence? Qin Fen secretly speculated the strength of this old man. Just what sort of realm was he in?

Du Hen slowly stood up straight with his body. He looked down at Qin Fen and faintly said, “Not bad, not bad.”

Not bad? In this moment of Qin Fen stupefaction, the ice-cold source on his neck suddenly turned roasting hot in this split second. It was as if there was a red-hot iron hanging against his chest.

He lowered his head to look, and he saw the biochemical beast egg that Lin Liqiang had given him. It was blooming with seven radiant colors of light, and it was beginning to squirm.
