287: The last few days of stability
Next, Xiao Fan's days were simple and monotonous: digesting Source Fluid, resting, digesting Source Fluid, resting… This cycle repeated endlessly.
Wen Shuangshuang truly had a headache, having to watch Xiao Fan every day because he was always pushing his limits.
But she could also understand, because she saw that after Xiao Fan finished Cultivating in the mental impact room each day, the crimson fire in his eyes seemed to grow a little denser.
The increase was extremely subtle; if her Realm wasn't high enough, she might have even thought it was an illusion.
But becoming denser day by day, that was truly terrifying.
Therefore, Wen Shuangshuang began to seriously consider whether to give her Sky Return Breathing Method to Xiao Fan.
Ultimately, she made her choice.
She chose to make the Sky Return Breathing Method the final reward for one of Xiao Fan's future missions!
After all, it was a treasure like a Family heirloom, so it couldn't be obtained too easily, otherwise, people definitely wouldn't cherish it!
While relaxing, Xiao Fan was also studying a Tiger-level unit named Green Ghost Tiger Team.
Generally, the suffix of an alien unit's name indicated its Rank; there was no flashy complexity that would bother others or themselves.
The Green Ghost Tiger Team operated year-round in Military District 198.
The border between Shanhai Pass and the alien First War Zone stretched for 100,000 kilometers, containing tens of thousands of strongholds and 500 military districts.
Military Districts 200 to 300 were the central area of Shanhai Pass, where the combatants were at least Great Grandmaster Late Stage powerhouses.
On both sides, the average Rank was slightly lower, but still starting from Little Grandmaster.
People at the Martial Artist Realm were not allowed on the battlefield; they weren't even considered cannon fodder.
Only those lunatics among the alien Race would use third-tier aliens, equivalent to the Martial Artist Realm, as cannon fodder to throw their lives away and lead the charge.
The Human Race often felt pained when facing those desperate cannon fodder.
Those aliens had no human rights; they were forcibly pushed forward, and their eyes held only despair and pain when engaging with Human Race elites.
In the Human Race's interior, there were often so-called "critics" who criticized the concept of "strength is respected."
They didn't know that the alien side was the true jungle, like Hell.
No one liked a world where you had no right to live without strength.
Unfortunately, the world was just that unreasonable!
Either be eliminated, or adapt!
Those outspoken critics often became silent after being sent for a few days of "tourism" in the war zone.
Xiao Fan also often read about current events; information on various social media apps was very transparent.
Headlining all major social media platforms were inevitably recruitment announcements.
And then, news that a certain university or company would be stationed in a specific war zone after a certain period of time!
The Federation was no longer pretending.
Yes!
A war was about to break out!
Everyone, prepare yourselves mentally!
Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.
The Great General said that the situation was developing too quickly, so fast that everyone was caught off guard; the alien power-holders truly had no respect for life, only profit in their eyes!
They hoped for war to start sooner every day.
If Helden hadn't forcefully "suppressed them with military might."
The war might have already begun!
Therefore, in at most two more months, many powerful individuals from Di Yi Academy would also begin to relocate!
Xiao Fan had no resistance to this; the thing he resisted least was fighting.
Furthermore, Xiao Fan learned from Meng Dazui that if the war became too intense, the battlefield would not be limited to just Blue Star.
Besides Blue Star, there were several other major planets in the Galaxy; after the Source Qi's Rebirth, those planets grew abundant resources, and now the Human Race and the alien Race each occupied half!
If a life-and-death racial war truly broke out, those eight planets would inevitably be engulfed in smoke.
However, that kind of battlefield was not for us!
It was the place where powerhouses like the Demon War God would have their decisive battles!
Xiao Fan also heard that his father-in-law had fully entered a state of arduous Cultivation during this period; he had already stepped into Martial God, reached Martial God Peak, and was striving to Breakthrough to Martial Emperor before the war began!
The movements of a Martial Emperor Breakthrough were always very significant.
The Human Race's high-level officials believed the Demon War God could do it, but they worried he might encounter trouble during the Breakthrough process.
Because a Martial Emperor had the ability to reverse the situation on any battlefield!
If the alien Race were given even the slightest opportunity, they would absolutely seize it, using every possible method to interfere with the Demon War God's Breakthrough!
But Xiao Fan was also helpless.
This father-in-law, his way of doing things was still too... too outrageous.
Everyone was trying to suppress the news of his impending Breakthrough and protect him during it.
Yet he himself went around telling everyone!
He told everyone he met, "Brother is about to become a Martial Emperor!"
Perhaps there was some secret plot.
Anyway, he couldn't understand the elders' affairs too deeply.
Finally, Xiao Fan asked Meng Tianzong about the current Super God Class trials.
He didn't know until he asked, and when he did, he was shocked!
My goodness, everyone had already finished learning the Martial Arts manual, Beyond!
Their trial missions had already ended, and the reason they hadn't returned was that they were doing two things!
First, condensing 'Intent'.
Second, collecting samples and parameters for the efficiency of digesting Source Fluid through combat.
Their elders had already prepared plenty of Source Fluid.
Hearing this, Xiao Fan, who was on his deathbed, sat up in surprise, his eyes wide.
He had always thought he was outperforming others!
Turns out, the clown was himself.
Others had already started competing intensely too!
If the efficiency of digesting Source Fluid through combat was higher, he might even fall behind again!
But Meng Tianzong told him not to worry; they had also tried digesting Source Fluid through combat, and the effect wasn't that significant!
"What's more, you absorb 5 and a half bottles a day, what are you panicking about?"
"You try-hard!"
...
A full week passed.
Of the Fire of Resistance, he had roughly chipped away one-tenth of the original amount; he couldn't chip away the rest for now!
Xiao Fan also figured out the principle during the process.
To transform the Fire of Resistance into his own, he needed to withstand mental impact.
But Xiao Fan's current mental impact tolerance was limited, so the impact force applied to the Fire of Resistance was also limited.
He would have to wait until he could withstand higher mental pressure in the future before he could apply a greater impact to the Fire of Resistance, thereby transforming the remaining flames into his own!
Although Xiao Fan couldn't understand why this power required self-abuse to possess, it didn't matter, as long as he had it!
Although the Fire of Resistance he currently possessed was not as powerful as when he faced Helden!
But a lower flame intensity also meant less lifespan burned!
Everything still followed the principle of equivalent exchange.
Moreover, this intensity was enough!
Abusing Little Grandmaster of the same Realm, if not ten out of ten, then at least ninety-eight percent confidence!
Most importantly.
Xiao Fan had already digested the large amount of Source Fluid needed for the Breakthrough.
A Breakthrough from Little Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster would not have any special phenomena or the like.
He just needed to grit his teeth, harden his heart, and like going to the restroom, when all the pressure was released, and a part of the body was completely left on this romantic land, the Breakthrough would be successful!
Therefore, Xiao Fan's Realm had already reached Great Grandmaster First Level!
He felt his entire body filled with explosive power, very excited, and very much wanted to hit people!
But he held back for now; he would first put on a Masachi suit, which would strongly suppress the urge to hit people.
No rush!
A man must be steady!
He would finish Cultivating all seven or eight Myth-Grade Martial Arts upper volumes first.
He had also finished Cultivating the initial volume of Autumn Kill and was now beginning to Cultivate the upper volume.
There was also Helden's "Essence of the Devil"; the initial volume was about basic mastery of collapse, while the upper volume recorded how to freely change the form of collapse, increasing the versatility of methods, and the molecularization of collapse used for escaping death was also recorded within!
And one Xiao Fan looked forward to the most, the fourth form of Sky Book, Dimensional Rend.
It would take about three days!
It would be quick; he would first suppress the urge to hit people, steadily absorb the Eight Desolations Essence Blood, and then go find the Green Ghost Tiger Team to test his skills!
...
PS: Next, the protagonist's style of action will be more steady with a touch of recklessness.
