Chapter 96

Ye Feng's meridians had broken dozens of times, and sometimes they would break again just after being repaired. However, no matter how many times this happened, he managed to repair them. Each time they were repaired, his meridians became wider and more resilient.

While cultivating, Ye Feng also absorbed the spiritual energy from the air. Especially after using the Life-Giving Qi, his body's absorption rate of spiritual energy increased by more than ten times. Otherwise, the spirit stones would have been depleted long ago.

Even if the spirit stones were depleted, Ye Feng had no intention of stopping. What were spirit stones for? They were for cultivation. What else would he do at this time?

Thus, he flipped his hand, and two more spirit stones appeared in his hand.

Another cycle of cultivation began.

An ordinary person would probably collapse from the pain of just one meridian break, but Ye Feng's spirit and willpower were extraordinarily strong. Despite experiencing dozens of inhuman pains, he remained clear-headed.

*Snap! Snap!*

Soon, several hours passed, and the spirit stones in Ye Feng's hand turned to powder again.

However, this time, Ye Feng did not take out more spirit stones.

*Huff!*

Ye Feng took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

After standing up, Ye Feng moved his body slightly, and his bones immediately made a series of *crack... crack... crack...* sounds.

Then, a smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. The Ninth Level of the Blazing Fire Technique, Ninth Rank Warrior.

Although Ye Feng had a premonition, he did not expect it to really come true. Because of the spirit stones and the Life-Giving Qi, he reached a level that was impossible to achieve.

If this news spread, it would definitely cause a shock. After all, reaching the Ninth Rank Warrior before the age of sixteen, and even breaking through three ranks in one night, could only be called a miracle.

However, no one knew the suffering Ye Feng had endured. The pain of meridian breaks was so intense that some people would rather die than experience it again. Yet, Ye Feng endured it over thirty times in a day and night. By the end, even without reaching a bottleneck, his meridians could not withstand the pressure.

If it weren't for the continuous reinforcement of his meridians by the Life-Giving Qi, his meridians would have broken with the slightest effort.

After thirty reinforcements, although Ye Feng did not know how much his talent had improved, when he saw the wide, river-like meridians and the faint white light on them, he knew his meridians had improved by more than one level.

His physical body was even more astonishing. After this night of cultivation, his bones seemed to have been fully reinforced, and now it seemed his bone marrow and internal organs were being reinforced.

In fact, Ye Feng had a clear understanding that his physical body was being reinforced from the outside in—skin, flesh, bones... and next, it would probably be his bone marrow and organs.

However, no matter how he cultivated his body now, his blood and qi would not dry up. Especially after his bones were reinforced, his blood and qi suddenly increased by dozens of times. As for his strength, Ye Feng felt that even a mountain in front of him would be shattered with one strike, though he did not know exactly how many pounds of force it was.

Looking at the condensed spiritual energy in his meridians, Ye Feng felt a sense of pride. He did not expect that his instinctive compression would make his spiritual energy so condensed after reaching the Ninth Rank. Although he had never seen other warriors' spiritual energy, he believed that no warrior's spiritual energy was as condensed as his.

Although he had just entered the Ninth Rank, he believed that when his spiritual energy burst out, it could rival the peak of the Ninth Rank. After all, the difference between the early and peak stages of the Ninth Rank was not just a small gap; the amount of spiritual energy contained in the peak stage even exceeded the total of the Eighth Rank.

After completing his cultivation, Ye Feng quickly used the Breath Concealment Technique to hide his aura, only showing the level of a Sixth Rank Warrior.

Waste? Garbage talent?

In the eyes of those sects, Ye Feng's talent could only stop at the Fifth Rank Warrior. But now, Ye Feng? He reached the Ninth Rank Warrior in a day and night. If the people from those sects knew, they would be speechless.

If Ye Feng was considered garbage talent, what were they? Garbage among garbage?

"Xiao Feng, have you finished cultivating?"

At this moment, Ye Chenshan's voice suddenly sounded from outside.

"Father, I have finished cultivating!"

Hearing his father's voice, Ye Feng extended his mental energy. He saw that his father, mother, and younger brother were anxiously waiting in the courtyard.

Ye Feng did not expect to cultivate for so long, so he did not tell his family. It was not until morning when Ye Feng did not come out for breakfast that they felt something was wrong and came to his place.

When they first arrived, they felt the spiritual energy fluctuations inside the room, so they did not disturb Ye Feng.

However, Ye Feng's cultivation lasted a whole day, and not only were they worried, but even Ye Chenshan was very anxious.

In the Fifth Rank of a warrior, cultivating for too long was not necessarily a good thing. If one cultivated for too long, it could damage the meridians, which would be counterproductive. But feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations inside Ye Feng's room, none of them dared to approach, for fear of disturbing him, which would be even more counterproductive.

Cultivation was most taboo when disturbed, and it could even leave hidden injuries. If one was attacked by the raging spiritual energy, all their cultivation could be lost. Therefore, they could only be anxious without any solution.

Seeing that Ye Feng's room had returned to calm, they dared to speak.

After saying this, Ye Feng walked out of the room.

"Huh? Why does it smell so bad?" Suddenly, Ye Feng smelled an extremely foul odor.

This smell was so bad that it made one feel nauseous.

Suddenly, Ye Feng saw that his body was covered with a layer of black, oily substance.

Purification of the body and cleansing of the marrow!

Ye Feng had experienced this once before, but he did not expect to experience it again, and this time the layer of oil was much thicker than before.

In fact, Ye Feng did not know that during this cultivation, his body absorbed such pure spiritual energy, causing his cells to split faster. The dead cells and impurities in his flesh and bones were all expelled.

If someone had X-ray vision at this moment, they would see that not only were Ye Feng's bones, but his entire body was emitting a faint white light, making him look like a flawless piece of jade.

*Bang!*

"Ye..."

Just as Ye Feng was deep in thought, the door to his room was forcefully pushed open.

Ye Hao and Ling Wanrong walked in with anxious faces, while Ye Chenshan's face turned grim.

In Ye Chenshan's eyes, this eldest son did not know the gravity of the situation. Although his talent was poor, he should not cultivate so recklessly! In his view, this was self-destruction, so when he heard that Ye Feng had finished cultivating, he came to the room with a grim face.

He was about to scold Ye Feng when he suddenly saw his condition, which made him swallow his words and look at the blackened Ye Feng in shock.

Ling Wanrong and Ye Hao, upon entering the room, frowned deeply, especially at the foul smell, which made them tightly cover their mouths.

"Father, Mother, Xiao Hao, please wait for me in the hall. I'll go take a shower!"

Seeing his family's reaction, Ye Feng realized his condition and said this before running out.

Ling Wanrong and Ye Hao, seeing Ye Feng leave, also quickly went out and opened all the windows in Ye Feng's room.

"Sixth Rank! Sixth Rank! Feng'er actually broke through to the Sixth Rank?"

Ye Chenshan stood in place, staring at Ye Feng's retreating back, muttering to himself.

In fact, after seeing Ye Feng's talent, he had given up all hope for him. While he could use pills to improve in the early stages, if his talent was limited, it would be difficult to improve further. So he had already shifted his focus to whether Ye Feng could become a pharmacist or a spirit user. But now, Ye Feng had given him a pleasant surprise.

"Haha... Who dares to say my son has poor talent!"

Only after Ye Feng's back disappeared did Ye Chenshan react, and then he burst into wild laughter.

Breaking through to the Sixth Rank before the age of sixteen, if this was still considered poor talent, what kind of talent would be considered good?

Moreover, Ye Feng had experienced a purification of the body and cleansing of the marrow at the Sixth Rank, which surprised him greatly. After all, ordinary warriors only experienced this when they broke through to the True Warrior realm.

As for why Ye Feng experienced this at the Sixth Rank, he did not even consider it. If Ye Chenshan knew that Ye Feng had already experienced this when he first broke through to the Warrior realm, he would be even more astonished.
