Chapter 22: Chen Feng’s Strength Has Soared

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The night breeze blew and the moon shone brightly.

During the two days of break they had, Chen Feng consumed two inner cores of Tier 3 dire beasts and six inner cores of Tier 2 dire beasts.

The essence flowed through Chen Feng’s body along his meridian pathways.

At this moment, he had already absorbed 70 to 80% of it.

After circulating the warm current once more, Chen Feng let out a breath and opened his eyes.

In the past two days, Chen Feng had not slept at all. He had been calming the essence of those inner cores in his body and absorbing the dark elements almost 24 hours a day.

He let the clone handle the issue of having a lack of energy.

The clone slept for at least 12 hours a day.

After all, only Chen Feng’s main body could absorb the dark energy. In order not to delay his cultivation progress, he could only let his clone sleep more to share some of the physical exhaustion of his main body.

“The panel,” Chen Feng thought to himself.

Immediately, a semi-transparent attribute panel that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Chen Feng]

[Age: 18]

[Basic Attributes]:

[Physique: 34 (17+17)]

[Strength: 32 (16+16)]

[Mana: 36 (18+18)]

[Agility: 36 (18+18)]

[Spirit: 40 (20+20)]

[Basic Resources]:

[Points: 40]

[Dark Elements: 160/160]

[Advanced Resources: None]

Seeing the earth-shattering changes in his attributes, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Not only his basic attributes, but even the upper limit of the dark elements had increased significantly.

Two Tier 3 dire beast inner cores were the result of this.

Out of the eight inner cores, those two inner cores accounted for 90% of the credit.

Chen Feng could not help but sigh.

“No wonder the Tier 3 inner cores are so expensive!” he thought.

However, although he was satisfied, Chen Feng could not help but feel a trace of worry.

For the past few days, other than sleeping, his clone had spent most of his time studying in the library.

It was mainly researching ways to increase the upper limit of the elemental power that he could absorb and store.

After all, if Chen Feng wanted to summon a second clone, he would need a total of 200 points of dark elements.

It was not difficult to absorb that, so he could absorb 100 points in a night.

However, it was extremely difficult to increase the upper limit!

After reading all kinds of relevant books and compiling them himself, Chen Feng divided the method of increasing the upper limit into three categories.

The first type was the most common and the slowest.

That was to continuously absorb the dark elements.

Even when the dark elements were full, he could not stop. He had to continue absorbing them so that he could increase the upper limit.

According to the book, the energy of all Awakened was actually stored in a certain place in the body.

Chen Feng understood it to be similar to the “dantian[literally translates as “Cinnabar Field” or “Elixir Field”. Refers to the region in the body where a person’s Qi is concentrated]” described in martial arts novels.

If the dark elements were compared to water, then the “dantian” was a large pool.

Moreover, it was an elastic pool!

If he wanted to expand the size of the pool, he had to constantly pour water into it in order to expand it.

Of course, the size of the pool depended on one’s physical fitness, which was one’s various basic attributes.

If his basic attributes were too low, blindly expanding his dantian would only increase the burden on his body.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had the god-level summation system. As long as he continuously increased the number of his clones, his attributes would increase greatly. There would not be a situation where his attributes could not support his dantian.

This method was common and simple.

But the problem was that it was too slow!

Chen Feng had made an observation.

Of the 60 points that he had increased in the past few days, about 50 points were due to the two Tier 3 inner cores, and about 6 points were due to the six Tier 2 inner cores.

After absorbing for 72 consecutive hours, Chen Feng had only absorbed three to four points of the upper limit.

From that, one could tell how slow it was.

If it were any other ordinary person, apart from cultivation, they would have to attend classes, sleep, and do other things.

Any student would be considered hardworking if they cultivated for eight hours a day.

Hence, if they wanted to increase their upper limit by 100 points, it would take a very long time.

It would take at least a year!

And that was only if they worked extremely hard.

This was also the reason why the path of cultivation was so difficult and there were so few people who had achieved great success.

The second method was slightly faster, but it was very expensive.

That was to consume inner cores!

Take Chen Feng for example. He had consumed two Tier 3 inner cores, and his upper limit had increased by about 50 points.

He only needed to cultivate non-stop, without sleeping, for 50 days to achieve this effect, while others might need 150 days or even longer.

That was why inner cores were so expensive.

However, the inner core had a major drawback.

As the user’s strength increased, the upper limit that the inner core could increase for the dantian and basic attributes would become lesser and lesser.

When one’s strength reached a higher level, one had to consume an even more advanced inner core.

This way, the amount of money he needed to spend would increase exponentially.

But what made people sigh was…

If you could easily kill a Tier 3 dire beast without any risk, then the inner core of this Tier 3 dire beast would be pretty much useless to you. You would not have much improvement even after consuming that.

Therefore, a person would only take this path if he had money to burn.

If he was not a tycoon, it was impossible for him to increase his strength in this way.

The third method was the fastest and most difficult method.

That was to use energy ores.

Energy ores were not like inner cores, which would be less effective as one became stronger.

The more energy there was in the ore, the stronger one would become.

Originally, the function of energy stones should be to replenish energy in battle.

However, energy ores could basically only be collected in the mystic mine.

That place was extremely dangerous and anything could happen at any time.

Therefore, the price was very precious.

As such, the usage of the energy ore was tacitly acknowledged as a way to increase the upper limit.

If Chen Feng were to absorb an energy ore that contained 100 dark elements, it would have the same effect as him absorbing 100 points through cultivation.

Therefore, as long as he absorbed energy stones when the dark elements reached their upper limit, he could increase his upper limit.

Other than these three methods, Chen Feng was temporarily unable to find any other way.

“Looks like I have to find time to go to the mystic mine,” he thought.

After making some calculations, Chen Feng came to this conclusion.

Killing dire beasts that had inner cores was too difficult for him, and his cultivation was too slow. He could not use it as his main method of improvement.

In that case, he could only try his luck in the mystic mine.

If he could find some dark elemental energy stones in the periphery of the Mystic Realm, it would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Even if he encountered any danger, he could still use Shadow Escape to escape safely.

Just as Chen Feng was about to continue cultivating, he felt another wave of intense malice appeared on the campus.

Chen Feng, whose spirit attribute had soared to 40, immediately locked onto the source of this malicious intent from afar.

It was Li Qiang!
