Chapter 85: Two-star Grand Fighter

As time slowly passed, the external Lin Feng's whole body was already enveloped by a faint crimson radiance.

And these crimson rays covered his body, forming the semblance of a Battle Qi gauze robe.

But this Battle Qi gauze robe kept twisting, as if constructing and probing something.

Faintly, those originally illusory Battle Qi gauze robes began to show characteristics of something substantive.

At this moment, Lin Feng naturally could not feel the changes around his body.

He maintained maximum control over his mind and spirit; at this moment, all his attention was fully focused on the Battle Qi vortex within him that was about to overflow.

Inside, the vortex slowly rotated; within it, the crimson liquid energy, like a dam about to burst, floated and swayed, seeming ready to spill out from the vortex that had already reached its limit.

At this point, the vortex could no longer hold any more energy.

Now its capacity has reached the limit.

If more energy were forcibly poured in, the vortex would likely burst.

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly blocked the medicinal power of the Three-pattern Azure Spirit Pill outside the vortex.

Then he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his hand seal subtly shifted.

Before such a breakthrough, every Fighter will, by instinct, choose the correct action.

This is an action proven successful by countless predecessors; it is simple: compression!

Gaseous energy can be compressed into higher-grade liquid energy, and liquid can likewise be compressed into even higher-grade solid energy.

And this so-called solid energy is precisely the secret that allows Grand Fighter experts to summon Battle Qi armor as substantial as matter.

"Shrink!"

With the shift of Lin Feng's hand seal, he forcefully pressed down on the expanding vortex.

The inner vortex first fell into a moment of silence; shortly after, its volume abruptly shrank by a large margin.

Immediately afterward, it began a violent rebound, but Lin Feng clenched down on the vortex, preventing it from rebounding.

Thus, the two sides stalemated for a while; afterward, the Battle Qi vortex could no longer hold, and its volume began to continue shrinking...

As the shrinking continued, Lin Feng's compression grew ever more strenuous, and the Battle Qi within the vortex became ever denser.

Finally, it faintly began to transition toward a solid state...

At this moment, inside Lin Feng's body, there was undoubtedly a race against time.

The liquid energy overflowing within the vortex must be compressed into a solid state before the next wave of energy arrives.

Only thus can the danger of the vortex bursting be avoided.

With continuous compression, the liquid energy within the vortex has gradually been depleted.

A crimson rhombic crystal the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind's eye.

It slowly hovered at the center of the vortex, motionless.

Faint glimmers of light flickered on his body, revealing the fragility of this newborn entity.

At the instant this rhombic crystal appeared, a sound like breaking through some barrier emanated from within Lin Feng's body.

Immediately, he felt a sense of ease radiating from deep within his soul...

This small crimson crystal is the key to becoming a Grand Fighter.

Grand Fighter experts usually call it: "Fighting Crystal!"

In the eyes of many experts, only after possessing a Fighting Crystal does one truly enter the hall of Battle Qi cultivation.

The Fighting Crystal is the crystallization of all Battle Qi within a person's body.

Within it lies an astonishingly vast amount of energy...

And when Lin Feng's Fighting Crystal formed within his body.

A strange ripple then transmitted to the surface of Lin Feng's body, into the constantly twisting Battle Qi gauze robe.

After receiving this ripple, the twisting of the Battle Qi gauze robe gradually ceased.

Instantly, the crimson light flashed wildly; Battle Qi rapidly merged, converged, and finally fused together.

After a moment, the light dimmed slightly; a crimson Battle Qi armor, somewhat blurred, appeared on Lin Feng's body surface.

Although this Battle Qi armor is only in its initial form, the deep crimson glow and the faint yet mighty energy surging forth make it clear that it cannot be compared to the previous Battle Qi gauze robe.

However, Lin Feng currently lacks the energy to attend to these; his mind and spirit are focused on observing every movement of the Fighting Crystal at the vortex.

Once this small thing is completely stabilized, Lin Feng then carefully uses his mind and spirit to control the remaining three-colored energy liquid, continuing along the cultivation route.

Continuously refining the three-colored liquid, then slowly giving the purified energy to the Fighting Crystal to absorb...

During this ongoing refinement, the aura emanating from Lin Feng is also gradually becoming stronger...

Not long after, accompanied by a muffled 'bang' from within his body, he successfully broke through to Two-star Grand Fighter.

And the three-colored energy liquid within Lin Feng's body is now almost exhausted.

But he paid no heed, continuing to refine the three-colored energy liquid to consolidate his realm...

Finally, Lin Feng's three-colored energy liquid was completely refined, and his Battle Qi cultivation was thoroughly stabilized at Two-star Grand Fighter.

Feeling the incomparably full power within, Lin Feng's mouth curled into a satisfied smile.

His palm slightly curled, his fingers bent slightly, and a faint crimson radiance diffused at his fingertips.

After a moment, he flicked his finger; crimson energy shot out like an arrow.

Immediately with a bang, it made a small notch in the cave wall.

"Battle Qi External Release."

Looking at the broken stone fragments on the ground, Lin Feng grinned.

Upon reaching the Grand Fighter level, Battle Qi can finally leave the body, no longer limited or bound by it; in combat against others, it gives a great advantage.

Both hands clenched into fists as Battle Qi slowly welled up.

On Lin Feng's body surface, a crimson armor gradually emerged, finally covering his entire body.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng again mobilized the purple fire within his body, causing it to cover his body's surface and merge with that Dou Qi armor into one.

Finally, that crimson Dou Qi armor was completely coated with purple, turning it a purplish-red color.

And Lin Feng could feel that, after the purple fire merged with the Dou Qi armor, its defensive power had also increased somewhat.

As a two-star Dou Shi, plus the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes, even an ordinary peak Dou Shi, I can still fight it one-on-one.

After getting familiar with the Dou Qi armor for a while, Lin Feng dispersed it, silently thinking to himself.

Taking out the two Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pills, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, deciding not to take them for now, and to wait until his Dou Qi settles for a period before speaking.

After putting away the jade bottle again, Lin Feng suddenly noticed the little color beside him, rubbed its little head and laughed, saying, "Did I wake you up when I took the pill?"

Cheep-cheep~

Seeing its master finally remember it, the little guy quickly slapped its belly with its tail, then opened its small mouth wide.

Hungry? Come, a fourth-rank Flaming Fire Pill.

Lin Feng let out a light laugh, took out two red pills, flicked his finger, and they accurately landed in the little color's mouth.

After the Heaven-Swallowing Python swallowed the pill into its belly, its figure flashed and it returned to Lin Feng's arm.

This guy...

Feeling the little snake on his arm, Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly.

He immediately jumped out of the cave and continued toward the distant black area.

While Lin Feng was flying with the Purple Cloud Wings for several hours, the endless layers of mountains below, which had been uniform, suddenly became varied in density.

He was slightly stunned, then immediately raised his head and gazed into the distance, only to see at the far end of his sight.

The jet-black plain, like a black line, completely divided the inside and outside worlds.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be that Black Domain Great Plain.

Gazing at the black line gradually expanding in his field of view, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

According to the map's indication, this Black Domain Great Plain is the gateway of Heijiaoyu.

As long as one steps in here, they enter that chaotic world that is utterly out of place with the outside.

Thinking about how long he had flown, the consumption of Dou Qi within his body was also quite severe.

He then prepared to recover his Dou Qi before entering the Black Domain Great Plain.

His body slowly descended into a forest, and he quickly probed the surroundings.

After not detecting any human or beast aura, Lin Feng finally relaxed.

He found a concealed spot and sat cross-legged.

He took out a Returning Qi Pill, stuffed it into his mouth, formed hand seals, and slightly closed his eyes.

As Lin Feng entered a meditative state, faint energy fluctuations began to seep out from within his body.

A faint yet present suction force rapidly drew the energy from the surrounding space into his body, then refined it.

It was infused into the dimmed battle crystal within the qi vortex, which had dulled due to Dou Qi consumption.

The quiet meditation lasted for nearly half an afternoon.

The faint energy fluctuations around Lin Feng gradually weakened until they completely dissipated.

Hoo~

Opening his tightly shut eyes, Lin Feng gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

Feeling the Dou Qi replenished within his body, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and decided to forego using the Ice Silkworm Skin.

After all, with his current strength he cannot see through the Ice Silkworm Skin, but he can still afford to provoke it.

Those who can see through disguises can already identify visitors by their aura; carrying it would be useless and might instead cause some misunderstandings.

Moreover, the Ice Silkworm Skin can be broken by even a Dou Shi, so it can only be used occasionally outside of battle.

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately rose, his foot suddenly twisting oddly, then he stomped heavily on the ground.

With a light shout, a low voice came from his mouth: "Burst Step!"

As the shout faded, Lin Feng's foot actually glowed with a crimson light.

His foot, carrying the crimson light, stomped heavily on the ground.

Instantly, a muffled roar like an explosion burst forth at the contact between his foot and the ground.

At the same time, the soles of Lin Feng's feet seemed to have a launch device installed, and in the blink of an eye he shot forward.

His speed was as swift as an arrow released from a bow, leaving people somewhat dazzled.

Taking several consecutive heavy steps on the ground, each time his foot landed it would produce a deep, muffled explosion sound.

Repeating this cycle, he rushed toward the Black Domain Great Plain.
