Chapter 99

Ye Feng was just about to start his cultivation when he suddenly thought of the dragon blood grass he had bought before.

In the past, Ye Feng did not know the effects of the Body Tempering Pill, nor had he even heard of such a pill. However, after seeing the tattered secret manual, he found that it mentioned the Body Tempering Pill, which was a pill used in conjunction with body tempering to greatly improve its efficiency.

Thinking about this, Ye Feng was no longer in a hurry to cultivate. He could not refine pills, but he was skilled at refining medicinal liquids.

He had bought many ordinary herbs from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, including the materials needed to refine the Body Tempering Pill.

Therefore, he came to the courtyard and started to boil the Body Tempering Liquid.

This medicinal liquid was not difficult for Ye Feng. In just two hours, he had refined a pot of Body Tempering Liquid.

After a night, Ye Feng had refined all the dragon blood grass into Body Tempering Liquid.

If people knew the speed at which Ye Feng refined the medicinal liquid, they would be utterly astonished. The higher the grade of the pill, the longer it took to refine. Some pills required several days to refine, but Ye Feng? He refined it in just two hours, and the medicinal effects were even stronger than the pills. If this news spread, it would definitely cause a sensation in this world.

...

The next evening, Ye Feng carefully took out the tattered secret manual.

In fact, he couldn't help but be careful. He even felt that a slight force would cause the manual to fall apart.

"Snap!"

Just as Ye Feng took out the manual, there was a light sound, and the manual in his hands instantly turned into fragments and fell to the ground.

Looking at the fragmented manual, a bitter smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. He was afraid of what would happen, and it did. The more careful he was, the harder it was to control his strength. In that instant, his strength was a bit too much, and the entire manual turned into fragments.

Actually, it depended on how you looked at it. He felt his strength was a bit too much, but Ye Feng's pure physical strength was over ten thousand pounds. A little more strength was terrifying.

"Hmm?"

Ye Feng looked at the scattered paper fragments on the ground, and suddenly his gaze focused. Among the fragments, there was a piece of paper that was completely intact.

Ye Feng naturally knew how much strength he had. That was why he was surprised. The entire book had turned into fragments, but one piece of paper was intact in the middle of the fragments. There was clearly something wrong.

"What material is this?"

When he picked up the intact piece of paper, his brows furrowed. He had read the entire manual and had never seen such a piece. It was not quite metal, not quite leather, and it was as thin as cicada wings, completely different from the other papers.

"There are words?"

Ye Feng saw the dense small characters and was somewhat surprised.

"Nine Levels of Power?"

Ye Feng focused his gaze on the paper and saw three slightly larger characters at the top.

"Strength!"

Below these three characters was just one word. When Ye Feng saw this word, it was as if he saw a huge fist carrying overwhelming power coming straight at him.

Seeing this, Ye Feng felt his breathing quicken, and he even had trouble catching his breath. His mind became somewhat dazed.

Was Ye Feng's willpower something that could be compared to ordinary people? Therefore, in the instant his mind became dazed, he quickly moved his gaze away from the word.

No matter how Ye Feng thought about it, he never expected that a single word would make him have an illusion.

Ye Feng shook his head to calm down and continued reading.

One strength breaks all techniques!

"When your strength reaches a certain level, any martial technique is useless in front of you!"

"No matter how many changes you make, I will break it with one punch!"

"Powerful!" Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim after reading these two lines.

Indeed, no matter how many changes your martial techniques have, they can't withstand the overwhelming power. On Earth, there was the legend of Pangu, who truly pushed 'strength' to the extreme, splitting the heavens and the earth with one axe.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and continued reading.

Of course, strength is not everything. Without sufficient defense, even if you have immense strength, your opponent can kill you before you even hit them. Therefore, I created the 'Golden Body Tempering Technique.' When this technique is cultivated to its peak, the entire body is like metal, and even divine weapons find it hard to penetrate the flesh.

When the opponent strikes you, it is useless, and at this moment, powerful strength can unleash invincible might.

This principle is known to all martial artists in this world. This is why people keep buying defensive leather armor and why the scales of the Ironclad Boar are so valuable. It's all about having sufficient defense.

"Thump... Thump... Thump..."

Ye Feng read line by line, and the faster he read, the faster his heart beat, and his face even turned slightly red from excitement.

Excitement! Yes, Ye Feng was very excited. Since coming to this world, even in the life-and-death situation with the Green-Eyed Wolf, he had never been so excited. But when he saw what was recorded on the paper, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Wow!"

"What a wonderful technique!"

It took Ye Feng about an hour to finish reading the paper. After finishing, he took a deep breath to calm his excited heart.

Nine Levels of Power, as the name suggests, means nine levels of strength.

According to the description, this is a specialized martial technique for body tempering. In simple terms, it is a way to burst out strength.

However, cultivating this way of bursting out strength is very difficult. The first step is to control the strength of the entire body. Only by controlling the strength of the entire body can one meet the requirements to start cultivating the Nine Levels of Power.

Moreover, the Nine Levels of Power have very high requirements for the body. After all, the burst of strength is completed by the body. Without a solid physical body, one cannot withstand the backlash during the burst of strength.

After all, the burst of strength is completed by the movement of muscles.

By the ninth level, the burst of strength requires the cooperation of all muscles, bones, and organs.

Whether it is the body, bones, or even internal organs, if they are not strong enough, not only will they fail to complete the coordinated burst of strength, but a weak part will not be able to withstand the force and will collapse. If it's the muscles or bones that can't withstand it, at most one will be disabled, but if the internal organs can't withstand it, they will instantly turn to mush.

This technique is very significant for Ye Feng. Normally, Ye Feng had a powerful body but could not unleash the power of martial techniques. Now, the Nine Levels of Power completely solved this problem.

If a person's own strength is one, then the first level of the Nine Levels of Power can unleash a strength of 'two'.

And so on,

The second level can unleash twice the body's strength...

The third level can unleash three times the body's strength...

The fourth level can unleash four times the body's strength...

...

The ninth level can unleash nine times the body's strength...

Moreover, it is even stronger than some top-tier techniques. After all, those top-tier martial techniques can only unleash three to five times the power of the internal spirit energy, but if the Nine Levels of Power are cultivated to the ninth level, they can unleash nine times the body's strength.

What does this mean?

If Ye Feng's own strength is ten thousand pounds, the ninth level of the Nine Levels of Power can unleash ninety thousand pounds of force.

If it's twenty thousand pounds, it can unleash one hundred and eighty thousand pounds of force.

In other words, the stronger Ye Feng's own strength, the greater the power he can unleash.

Of course, the greater the power unleashed, the greater the burden on the body, and the higher the requirements for physical fitness.

The first level is still manageable, as it only requires the coordination of a part of the body's muscles to produce a resonance, stacking the strength of these muscles to unleash twice the body's strength.

The second level requires the coordination and resonance of most of the body's muscles.

The third level requires the coordination and resonance of all the body's muscles.

The fourth level not only requires muscles but also a part of the bones to cooperate...

...

The sixth level requires the coordination and resonance of all the body's bones and muscles...

The seventh level requires the coordination of some internal organs...

...

The ninth level requires the coordination of all the body's bones, internal organs, and every part of the body...

If any part goes wrong, the strength cannot be unleashed...

Thus, it is easy to imagine the difficulty of learning the Nine Levels of Power.

Difficult, very difficult...

Ye Feng sighed inwardly, but he would not give up.
