Chapter 103 Ineffable
“Star power?”
Lin Feng immediately came to a realization. This must be the star power. He did not expect that this star power would be chilly and like water as it bore into his body.
CU
However, as Lin Feng jolted out of his trance, he could no longer maintain the “Astral Swirl” in his mind. Once the Astral Swirl dissipated, the star power naturally could not subsist and quickly dissipated, as if what had occurred just now was an illusion. “It seems like this star power isn’t as violent as I imagined?” Lin Feng was a little surprised. Although the Canopy filtered it automatically, the star power was still very violent. Many Metamorphic Realm martial artists had to try many times to slowly condense a strand of Astral Power.
According to ordinary standards, from the moment star power entered body to the point of condensing a strand of Astral Power, it would take about 10 days. Three strands of Astral Power could be condensed in a month.
To condense 99 strands of Astral Power, one would need at least over two years to close to three years. This period of time could be considered a standard period. From the moment many Metamorphic Realm martial artists broke the genetic lock to when they entered the peak of the first level of the Metamorphic Realm, it usually took three years.
Of course, some gifted martial artists were different. They could condense 99 strands of Astral Power in a year. Lin Feng naturally wanted to condense Astral Power as soon as possible. This time, he focused all his attention on visualizing the “Astral Swirl”. Immediately, that icy feeling appeared again. This time, Lin Feng did not get distracted. Instead, he focused all his attention on continuing to visualize the “Astral Swirl”. As a large amount of power from the stars entered his body, Lin Feng finally felt the “violent” side of this Astral Power. A massive amount of power from the stars surged wildly within Lin Feng’s body, destroying his flesh, blood, and bones.
Fortunately, Lin Feng’s physique far exceeded that of ordinary people, which was why he was not completely destroyed by the star power. However, as his physique was strong, the star power he accommodated was also several times that of ordinary martial artists.
The star power rampaged through his body almost without restraint. Even with Lin Feng’s willpower, he almost could not endure it. However, he gritted his teeth and held out in the end. As the power of the stars continued to devastate, Lin Feng’s undying characteristic was unleashed to its fullest extent. Every time his flesh and blood were damaged, the undying characteristic would immediately restore them.
Hence, between the continuous cycle of devastation and restoration, Lin Feng’s body actually familiarized itself with the star power gradually. It even gradually accommodated the star power.
This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Feng. Under normal circumstances, a Metamorphic Realm martial artist would need at least a week’s time to familiarize their body with the star power, or even half a month.
However, it only took him an hour to completely familiarize his body with the star power.
A large amount of star power was still entering Lin Feng’s body continuously through the Astral Swirl. A thought came to Lin Feng. His body was already familiar with the star power, so he could start condensing Astral Power.
Therefore, he began to channel the star power in his body with his invisible “consciousness”.
Buzz.
It went very smoothly. Even though the star power was very violent, Lin Feng’s channeling of it went very successfully. He compressed the star power constantly, as if drawing strands from a cocoon of silk.
Finally, a strand of crystalline and terrifyingly strong Astral Power appeared.
Although there was only one strand, it obeyed Lin Feng’s command completely, as if it were a part of his own body. With a thought, this strand of Astral Power could fuse into his flesh and erupt with powerful strength. In fact, the Astral Power could even transform the body constantly. Its effects were much better than the violent star power. This strand of Astral Power took Lin Feng two or three hours, and there was still a lot of star power in his body. At this moment, even a martial artist in the Metamorphic Realm with a strong physique would not be able to withstand the destructive star power, and would most likely not continue to condensing Astral Power. However, Lin Feng was different. He had the undying characteristic and astonishing regenerative ability. No matter how the star power destroyed it, Lin Feng’s body could withstand it.
Hence, Lin Feng decided to continue condensing Astral Power.
As time passed, the star power in Lin Feng’s body kept increasing. Incredibly, the speed at which he condensed the Astral Power also became faster and faster, and there was no sign of it stopping at all.
One strand, two strands, three strands… In the blink of an eye, by the time the sky lit up and people came and went outside, Lin Feng had already condensed more than ten strands of Astral Power.
However, Lin Feng did not stop condensing. Instead, he continued condensing. As the star power contained in his body increased, the speed at which he condensed the Astral Power also became faster and faster.
Twenty strands, 30 strands, 40 strands, 50 strands, 60 strands…
“Stop.”
Finally, when Lin Feng had condensed 66 strands of Astral Power in one sitting, he stopped. He began to sense that something was amiss. Didn’t others condense three strands of Astral Power in a month?
As for him? In just three days and three nights, Lin Feng had condensed 66 threads of Astral Power. It was as if condensing Astral Power was as simple as eating and drinking to him.
This was truly unheard of and somewhat unbelievable.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng even stopped. Although he did not feel any discomfort, if the speed at which Astral Power was being condensed was so fast, wouldn’t it mean that he could finish condensing 99 strands of Astral Power in a few days?
When Lin Feng stopped, he found that his body was undamaged. His regenerative ability was simply too strong. Having awakened the innate ability of the undying characteristic, it was difficult for him to die even if he wanted to. The impact from the star power was not worth mentioning at all. Perhaps this was also the reason why Lin Feng’s Astral Power condensed at an abnormally fast speed. No one but Lin Feng could condense Astral Power so quickly.
Moreover, despite the speed, upon careful inspection, Lin Feng found that the Astral Power in his body was like a part of himself. It was very docile and there was nothing wrong with it.
This meant that although it was fast, its foundation was very stable. “That’s good. At this rate, I’ll be able to completely condense 99 strands of Astral Power in a few days at most.”
A smile also appeared on Lin Feng’s face. He did not need a long time to condense Astral Power at all. Ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists would need two or three years to condense 99 strands of Astral Power.
Top-notch genius martial artists also needed at least a year to condense 99 strands of Astral Power. As for Lin Feng? He only needed a few days, at most a week, to condense 99 strands of Astral Power.
This speed was simply world-shattering. No one could compare to it, and it was practically unprecedented, and it was very likely that no one would be able to match it in the future either.
This could no longer be described as a genius, but a monstrosity! An ineffable person!
“Phew…”
Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. Whether he was a genius, a monstrosity, or ineffable, he was very satisfied with his current speed. However, this was his secret. He had to guard it and disclose it to no one.
Fortunately, as long as he did not use Astral Power casually, no one could know the exact amount of Astral Power in Lin Feng’s body. With Lin Feng’s current strength, just his pure physical strength was enough to deal with matters.
Beep-beep-beep.
Suddenly, Lin Feng’s communicator rang. He hurriedly picked up the call. Chief Commander Long Duo’s voice came through. “Lin Feng, the martial law has been lifted. Haha, from today onwards, people are free to enter and exit Dragonlith City. I know you’re eager to go home, and you only have half a year of leave. Hurry up and come to the research institute to do a test. As long as you confirm that you don’t have the parasitic seeds of the Screwworm, you can leave Dragonlith City.”
“All right, I’ll be right there.”
Lin Feng was overjoyed. He could finally go home.
When he switched off the communicator, he realized that there was a communication request on it, and the contact was very familiar. “Yu Shan contacted me three days ago?”
Lin Feng frowned. Three days ago, he was busy cultivating the Astral Swirl and condensing Astral Power, so he did not notice that Yu Shan had sent a communication request on his communicator.
Yu Shan left without a word in Dragonlith City. Lin Feng was actually very worried. Now that Yu Shan took the initiative to contact him, could there be a problem?
Lin Feng saw the message column again. There was another “unread” message. “Lin Feng, I’m Yu Shan’s girlfriend. Yu Shan told me that you saved his life. Yu Shan is in trouble now. Please, you have to save him…”
As he read the content of this message, Lin Feng’s expression gradually turned grim. There was even a vague hint of murderous intent. How could Yu Shan, a good friend who had gone through thick and thin with him, be humiliated like this?
Seeing that the message was already from three days ago, Lin Feng did not hesitate and immediately called back.
