Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Nine Nether! Body Refinement!

The three looked at Shi Feng, who had been punched through, only to see Shi Feng’s face bearing a disdainful cold smirk, and then, the trio watched as the figure of Shi Feng gradually faded in their eyes, eventually dissipating into the air like mist.

Zhang Hu had punched through nothing but a mere afterimage of Shi Feng.

At this very moment, the real Shi Feng was lying supine on the ground. However, it appeared as though he was lying on the ground, when in actuality, under the delicate control of Shi Feng, his back was still a fist’s distance away from the earth.

Zhang Hu, a Two-star Martial Spirit, although in Shi Feng’s eyes, his Thunder Prison Electric Fist was full of shape but devoid of spirit, is still a strike from a Two-star Martial Spirit. Shi Feng felt there was no need to contend with him, so with a move of his body, he dodged out of the way.

Subsequently, Zhang Hu and the other two saw Shi Feng, who had been lying on the ground, shift his body slightly and, like an unstoppable Weeble, he sprang upright, then, with a low shout at Zhang Hu, "Watch closely. How much you comprehend depends on your own destiny. Thunder Prison Electric Fist!"

The three witnessed Shi Feng’s right fist suddenly burst forth with purple lightning, composed entirely of millions of strands of purple electricity. Upon seeing Shi Feng’s execution of the Thunder Prison Electric Fist, Zhang Hu was outright dumbfounded; the opponent’s Thunder Prison Electric Fist was so exquisite, it was like a work of art.

Even at the center of the purple electric current, a twisted "thunder" Rune faintly emerged.

"Rune, it’s actually a thunder Rune, heavens! To what Realm has he understood the rules of thunder and lightning? He’s clearly just a Warrior of the Martial Warrior Realm, and his age is only..." Zhang Hu almost exclaimed excitedly, believing his Martial Skill, his life’s focus on cultivating the Thunder Power, was substantial. Now realizing his comprehension of Thunder Power paled in comparison to his opponent, it seemed his decades of life had been wasted.

Shadow No.9 and Zhao Long exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes. This youth, so young, was an evil demon-like existence. In the Yunlai Empire, those geniuses who were hailed as wicked demons, compared to this true evil demon, probably didn’t amount to much at all.

Shi Feng uttered a low shout and punched into the Void; the rest felt a rumble of thunder above their heads as if lightning from the heavens were about to strike.

Shi Feng’s punch might not have been as powerful as Zhang Hu’s, but the intricacy within it was beyond Zhang Hu’s comparison.

"That punch just now is considered my gift to you, as well as a token of my thanks for the Gravity Room that Long Chen arranged," Shi Feng said, with his hands clasped behind his back, assuming the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Seeing Shi Feng of such a young age striking such a pose and speaking in such a manner, the three felt somewhat dissonant at heart, but the sophistication of his punch just now was laid out before them, so they said no more.

"Tell Long Chen that I will remember what he has done for me," Shi Feng said, and then walked towards the cave. Just as he reached the entrance, he abruptly stopped, his brow furrowing.

In that brief moment just a while ago, that extremely uncomfortable sensation surfaced again in Shi Feng’s heart.

Glancing behind, Shi Feng said to himself, "Who is this secretly observing me? Why does it give me such a feeling? Forget it!" Afterwards, Shi Feng no longer dwelled on it and continued walking into the cave, only by becoming stronger himself, could he crush any unease and any danger.

As Shi Feng fully entered the cave, none of the three tried to stop him. It was then that Zhang Hu excitedly turned to Zhao Long and Shadow No.9, "I... I feel... I am about to break through, you two cover for me."

"I am about to break through! You... hahaha, great!" Zhao Long was stunned at first, but soon burst into laughter for Zhang Hu. The two were as close as brothers, so Zhang Hu’s breakthrough naturally delighted him.

Zhang Hu sat down cross-legged, formed a handprint, and Zhao Long, with a complex expression on his face, looked towards the cavern. After all these years with Zhang Hu, he understood that Zhang Hu’s current breakthrough came from witnessing the Thunder Prison Electric Fist demonstrated by the youth, from which he had gained insight and found his opportunity to break through.

Who exactly was this young man? So the 55 times gravity chamber arranged by His Highness was indeed for him, but could his body, at the Martial Warrior Realm cultivation level, withstand 55 times the gravity?

Question after question emerged in Zhao Long’s mind. He glanced at Shadow No.9 next to him and saw that Shadow No.9 was also intently focused on the inside of the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Shi Feng immediately felt an overwhelming force of gravity crash down on him, like a huge mountain threatening to crush his entire body, feeling as if his very bones were about to be pulverized into dust.

Even prepared in his heart, he was still forced down by the 55 times gravity.

"Ha!" Shi Feng roared, circulating the Nine Nether Power within his body and relying on the power of his physical body, gritting his teeth, his bent form trembled continually but stubbornly pushed upward slowly.

"Nine Nether! Body Refinement!" Shi Feng’s face showed strain and pain as it twisted into a ferocious contortion, his hands each forming a mysterious and strange handprint, clapping together, his bare upper body revealing densely packed, fine, twisted white runes.

The Nine Nether Refining Body Technique, was a body refining technique created by Emperor Nine Nether himself. Emperor Nine Nether had built his own Nine Nether Body, and with the power of his physical body alone, he could shatter the heavens with a punch that could create black holes and crush mountains with a single stomp.

Under the 55 times gravity, Shi Feng could better stimulate his body’s potential, push beyond his physical limits, and make his flesh even tougher and stronger.

But the risks were also imaginable. Shi Feng gritted his teeth and persevered, but if he was not careful in this moment, he could be crushed by his own physical body under the weight of the gravity.

He was constantly walking on the edge of life and death; there were no shortcuts in the path of Martial Arts, and to become stronger, one had to pay the corresponding price.

"Ha!" With another low shout from Shi Feng, he stepped forward with his right foot, instantly squeezing out fresh red fluid from his pores on the right side of his body.

"Ha!" After regaining his footing, Shi Feng then stepped forward with his left foot, continuing to execute the Nine Nether Refining Body Technique and began walking step by step in the 55 times gravity chamber.

Outside the cave, Zhang Hu was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, breaking through. Zhao Long and Shadow No.9 stared blankly into the cave, with Zhao Long even swallowing audibly as he said, "Old 9, how do you think he’s doing this? I originally thought he would last three breaths at most before running out, but now... he has almost been in there for thirty minutes, this guy, he’s really a freaking monster, is he really from our Human Clan? Could it be that he’s from the Beast Clan? And is he really just a Two-star Warrior? Maybe it’s some old guy wearing a human skin mask pretending to be him."

After hearing Zhao Long’s words, Shadow No.9 shook his head, "According to the information we shadows were tasked to collect by His Highness today, this person’s age is indeed consistent with his appearance, and moreover..."
