17: Chapter 17 Blood Spring

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Lin Feng lay on his back in the Blood Spring, showing no signs of waking up.

His body was still unconsciously consuming the energy within the Blood Spring, continuously strengthening his Physical Body. His originally fair skin had now turned completely blood-red.

Sect Master Du Busi opened his eyes, his face full of wonder.

"How strange. Three days have passed, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

If Sect Master Du Busi hadn't still been able to detect Lin Feng's vital signs, he would have thought the boy had died inside the Blood Spring.

His expression was somewhat hesitant as he considered whether to fish him out to check on his condition.

After much deliberation, Sect Master Du Busi gritted his teeth and decided to wait a bit longer. Right now, the lad Lin Feng wasn't in any life-threatening danger; his body and Soul Power were merely overdrawn. Let's keep watching!

And so, he watched for another half a month.

Just as Sect Master Du Busi could no longer restrain himself and was about to go down to fish Lin Feng out, Lin Feng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he immediately opened his eyes, seeing the pitch-black ceiling of the secret chamber.

Upon seeing Lin Feng wake up, Sect Master Du Busi laughed heartily, wrapped him in Soul Power, and brought him to the shore.

Seeing the crimson flesh beneath Lin Feng's skin, with powerful Qi and blood energy erupting unconsciously, Sect Master Du Busi knew it—it was a success!

Lin Feng shook his head, his consciousness gradually clearing. "Sect Master, where is this?"

"This is a secret location of the Body Sect, a closely guarded secret. Your body was severely overdrawn; if you hadn't come here to recuperate, your future path of the Dao would have been ruined!"

Sect Master Du Busi said crossly. One had to know that the energy in this Blood Spring was limited; once someone entered to absorb it, it would take at least a dozen years to recover.

"Eh? My body!"

Lin Feng also noticed the changes in his body. He reached out and squeezed his shoulder, his expression becoming very strange.

Beneath his skin, which was as crystalline as jade, a crimson glow flowed. Touching it felt like stroking a piece of fine jade.

Sect Master Du Busi said: "Your Physical Body strength has undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change. If you had tried to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring before, I wouldn't have been very confident."

"But now, you will face no obstacles when absorbing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!"

Lin Feng's face was filled with joy. Hearing Sect Master Du Busi's words, he naturally knew that he had obtained a tremendous benefit from this trip!

He hurriedly bowed respectfully to Sect Master Du Busi and said gratefully: "Thank you for your cultivation, Sect Master!"

Sect Master Du Busi laughed, "Stop saying these useless things. Hurry up and put on your clothes. Do you want me to see how big yours is?"

Lin Feng's face flushed in embarrassment, only then realizing that he was standing naked on the shore.

Even with his thick skin, he felt too embarrassed to face anyone right now. He hurriedly retrieved the Body Sect attire that Elder Jin had prepared for him from his spirit tool and put it on.

The clothes were well-fitted, capable, and neat. After Lin Feng put them on, he gave off a feeling of youthful vitality, with an air of heroism radiating from his body.

After seeing him, Sect Master Du Busi's eyes lit up. He reached out and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, laughing out loud:

"Good lad, you've grown up to be quite handsome. If the female Disciples of the Body Sect saw you, I'm afraid they'd be having wet dreams at night, wouldn't they?"

Lin Feng's face was somewhat awkward, not knowing how to respond.

"Let's go, we're heading out to test your current strength!"

Sect Master Du Busi said this and walked out of the secret chamber. Lin Feng, feeling as if he had been granted an amnesty, hurriedly followed.

The two arrived at the Body Sect's training room, which contained many large pieces of equipment specifically used for Disciples to refine their Qi, blood, and Physical Body.

"Try this!"

Sect Master Du Busi walked up to a thousand-catty black bronze tripod and patted it with his hand, causing the large tripod to emit a series of muffled echoes.

"Rise!"

Lin Feng braced the thousand-catty bronze tripod. Then, exerting force with his arm, he lifted the thousand-catty bronze tripod with a single hand.

After holding it for a dozen seconds, he put it down. It was too light!

Lin Feng shook his head. Although he didn't know what level his strength was at, it was definitely terrifying.

He set his sights on a larger bronze tripod not far away; that was a five-thousand-catty bronze tripod.

Lin Feng crouched down, took a deep breath, and wrapped his arms around the bronze tripod. Just as effortlessly, he lifted the five-thousand-catty bronze tripod up.

Under the exertion, the bluestone tiles beneath Lin Feng's feet developed cracks. The formidable force left Sect Master Du Busi stunned.

After holding it aloft for dozens of breaths, Lin Feng put the tripod down, still feeling unsatisfied.

Still light!

"Sect Master, are there any heavier bronze tripods? To me, these are still too light!" Sect Master Du Busi's mouth twitched for a moment.

This is still light? An ordinary Spirit Saint, even without using their Spirit, might not be able to lift this large tripod relying solely on Physical Body strength.

"There is still a nine-thousand-catty Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod. Want to try it?"

Sect Master Du Busi pointed into the distance, toward the even larger Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod located on the hillside, and spoke slowly.

"Of course, I feel that even ten thousand catties would be no problem!" Lin Feng grinned and said confidently.

He wasn't bragging; he genuinely felt that he could lift one of those previous tripods in each hand without issue.

Sect Master Du Busi nodded, placed his hand on Lin Feng's shoulder, and with a flash of green light, they arrived in front of the Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod in an instant.

Nine is the extreme number. Even within the three great Empires, this Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod could be called a national treasure!

"Boom!"

For the final lift, Lin Feng's face flushed slightly red as he raised the Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod high above his head. The dragon patterns on it bathed in the sunlight, appearing like a soaring golden Dragon.

"Good! Good!"

Sect Master Du Busi's expression was agitated, his body trembling continuously; one could imagine just how excited he was.

Ten thousand catties of force—this was strength that only a Titled Douluo could achieve!

And Lin Feng, only at the quasi-Spirit King cultivation level, had displayed ten thousand catties of force. How could this not shock and excite him?

After holding it for several minutes, Lin Feng carefully set the Dragon-patterned Golden Tripod down, but even so, a significant tremor still came from the ground.

"Sect Master, I feel that my strength has increased by at least three times compared to before. This Blood Spring is too miraculous!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, the flush on his face gradually fading, and said excitedly.

Sect Master Du Busi laughed heartily, then, as if thinking of something, his expression turned serious: "Lad Lin Feng, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "I feel very good, there is no discomfort!"

After hearing this, Sect Master Du Busi reached out and placed his hand on Lin Feng's arm. After probing with his Soul Power and confirming that no hidden dangers remained, he finally set his mind at ease.

"Refine your Qi and blood well. Your current state is already very close to the Flawless Golden Body that our founding Ancestral Master once mentioned."

"If you truly succeed in your Breakthrough, by then, your Physical Body strength will be enough to rival a Divinity!"
