Chapter 332: Sixth Step Threshold, The Beginning of Reaching the Limit
Swoosh!!
The sky outside the window was filled with white vapor like a shuttle.
The holographic projection transformed into virtual waves that exploded, with droplets scattering into blue light.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Feng stood by the window, having adapted once more to his return.
Several days had passed in reality, and the reason for his return was quite simple.
Today, the City Association was to hold a meeting, likely related to the aftermath of Luo Wantao's death.
If he didn't appear, he might attract the attention of some watchful eyes.
As for the transaction agreed upon with the Holy City.
Departure wouldn't occur until seven days later, considering the time disparity between reality and the dream realm.
"It would still be timely to enter the dream tomorrow night."
The thought flashed by as Chen Feng then turned his attention to the panel before him.
[Holy Flame Awakening Method: Fifth Rank (92%)+]
A few drops of Holy Spirit Essence directly surged the progress of the Holy Flame Awakening Method significantly forward.
Apart from that:
[Strength: 73.2→75.1]
[Agility: 63.1→65.5]
[Constitution: 74.3→77.0]
[Will: 75.1→76.1]
"An eight-point attribute increase."
Cracking his knuckles, Chen Feng could clearly sense the further enhancement of his physical qualities.
It was almost akin to the effect of an increase in Martial Arts True Skill.
Without utilizing any skills, his strength should now be around five hundred tons, and his physique had reached the level of a dazzling-level Vajra.
Because of this, a strong intuition arose in Chen Feng's heart.
He had already taken a crucial step, completely surpassing the limits of the Fifth Rank.
In other words, he was now a Sixth Order.
Even if he had just stepped onto the threshold, and some might add a false prefix, it was still the Sixth Order.
Moreover, it happened almost instantaneously at the moment of breakthrough.
In a haze, he sensed the presence of a shackle.
"My physique has reached its limit."
His gaze lingered on the panel's four-dimensional attributes, particularly the constitution column.
Chen Feng could vaguely feel as if an invisible shackle was limiting him.
This was the so-called human limit, the end point of the human body's strength.
Perhaps strength, agility, and will still had some room for growth, not yet fully tapped out.
But once one's fundamental physique was locked, reaching the limit in those areas would be only a matter of time.
Thereafter, if one wished to surpass the limit, one could only attempt transcendence by channeling world power in exchange for infinite potential.
In an instant, a sensing arose within him.
Chen Feng slightly closed his eyes, calming his mind, and saw the dozen light spots in his mind.
Bright like fire, these were the so-called imprints of legend.
Moreover, compared to before, there were three more.
Suddenly sensing them.
These were the scenes in the Realm of the Dead where he slew Admiral Evil Prison, later causing a stir in Yun Gang in the real world, and the battle where he repelled the Winged Serpent King in the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.
A new legend had been born, faintly strengthening a certain connection to the real world.
With a thought, Chen Feng immediately sat cross-legged, controlling his spiritual will, attempting to follow that connection.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the entire world was rapidly blurring at this moment.
Whether it was the Martial Arts Hall or Nanjiang District, they all disappeared at this moment.
It was like there was a thin line suddenly appearing before him, and he was standing on a cliff, needing to use it to reach the summit of a towering mountain on the opposite side.
Besides that, the sky and earth were pitch-black and ghostly, as if he was the only one here.
There was no panic or doubt, because Chen Feng knew, this was the transcendence method recorded in the dreams of Qinggang City, as mentioned in the residual memories.
Using the legend imprint as a basis for connection, relying on boundless will to bear the path ahead, resonating with the world.
Subconsciously, he took a step, stepping onto the thin line.
Thud!
His footsteps echoed, the thin line swayed.
Beneath the cliff was pitch-black darkness, and falling would surely result in severe injury.
Instinctively wanting to activate the Green Armor Talent, Chen Feng quickly discovered that all extraordinary talents had failed at this moment.
Frozen as if, he could not exert any power beyond the martial arts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
An invisible gale rose from beneath the cliff, as sharp as blade and steel.
The thin line swayed more violently, even showing slight cracks as if about to break.
"Seek intent, legend, resonance..."
This phrase suddenly echoed in his mind, and Chen Feng inexplicably thought of his unwavering will along this journey.
Protection?
Struggle?
Anger?
Indifference?
Countless thoughts passed by, and even he had a moment of confusion.
This journey had gone through much, and countless battles could lead one astray.
But soon, several images flashed by.
His relative Chen Yun, his friend Lin Hao, his master Li Tong...
From a young age, he joined and was sheltered by the Flame Tiger Sect.
The Martial Arts Hall and Nanjiang gradually became proud of him and part of its foundation.
Unknowingly, he had become a member of the United Council, a renowned absolute peak powerhouse in the Earth Star Martial Arts World.
The Black Tide incident in Suo Jia City certainly caused concern, and the demise of extraordinary martial arts in Qinggang seemed to have heralded a certain future.
However.
His fundamental thought had never wavered from beginning to end.
To become stronger!
Even stronger!!
Strong enough to protect everything around him, to shatter all fears, to face the Black Tide without fear!
Buzz!!
Seemingly endless will continued the path ahead.
The scene before him suddenly changed, with the thin line beneath his feet rapidly expanding and widening, eventually becoming a white staircase.
The gloomy sight gradually brightened, and as he looked up, countless steps appeared continuously, infinitely extending into the sky, illuminating everything.
The massive mountain began to float upwards, while constantly shrinking and transforming.
Until finally, it turned into a giant throne amidst the clouds.
"Martial Arts Ladder.... King of the World..."
Buzz!!
With inspiration, he grasped some information, only to be bombarded by immense pressure from all sides soon after.
