Indeed, he deserved to be called a true genius!

Among the younger generation in their Luyang Base, not one possessed high-level cultivation talent!

Thus, even though they were angry, they were self-aware enough to know that they were no match for Changfeng Base, so they could only swallow their pride.

Seeing this,

The proud young man from Changfeng Base, named Xu Guang, sneered contemptuously, “Just a bunch of ants! I am destined to be the first in this dual-city assessment!”

Shortly after,

The half-month long dual-city assessment trial officially began.

After the teachers had read out the rules and rewards, they gave the command "The test officially begins!"

As soon as the word dropped,

All the students started entering into the forest.

"Xixi, let's go in together!"

A petite girl came up to Chen Xixi and invited her.

After a moment of thought, Chen Xixi nodded.

The two then entered the dense forest together and soon disappeared from sight.

...

Li Feng was unaware of the dual-city assessment.

In recent times, Li Feng had been immersed in his practice.

Endless battles, constant cultivation.

The results were extremely gratifying.

He had reached the second level of the Pohang Knife and Luo Smoke Step through constant combat, and there was a drastic improvement in his strength and agility compared to before.

Although the strength seemed the same,

The current Li Feng could instantly annihilate his former self!

That was growth!

Within the tree hollow,

Li Feng slowly performed a set of body refining techniques, condensing the absorbed elemental energy, and when the elemental energy completely integrated into his body, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He was planning to go out and kill fierce beasts to get beast blood as usual.

However, who would have known...

Boom!

At that moment,

He suddenly shuddered all over, with goosebumps popping all over his body and thunderous tiger-leopard sounds echoing from his bones.

The echoes were continuous, rising and falling.

"Goosebumps!"

"Thunderous tiger-leopard sounds!"

"Could this be…"

Li Feng's face changed. Without time to think, he quickly drank another mouthful of second-level beast blood and then immediately began to perform the body refining technique.

Again and again!

Li Feng did not know how many sets of body refining techniques he had performed, nor did he know how much time had passed.

When he came to his senses, he found a layer of black mud surrounding his body, emitting a foul smell.

In his body,

An incredible power was welling up, circulating throughout his body.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

He could feel that some sort of shackles within him had been broken.

"Yijing Washing the Marrow!"

"Thunderous tiger-leopard sounds!"

“I've indeed advanced into a martial artist realm!”

Tightening his fist, feeling the vigorous force within him, a smile broke out on Li Feng's face.

He had set out here precisely to advance into the martial artist realm!

Now that he has accomplished his goal, he is satisfied.

Not far from him was a pond. After sweeping a glance and finding no beasts lurking around, Li Feng jumped into the pond.

The cool water continued to wash over his pores, cleansing him of impurities.

After bathing, Li Feng fell asleep.

The next morning,

He got up refreshed.

With his battle blade, Li Feng set out to seek and fight fierce beasts.

After advancing to the martial artist realm, his strength had increased tremendously.

Firstly, the strength of his physical body had broken the 'ten thousand catties' limit!

Secondly, his ability to absorb elemental energy, recover bodily functions, and senses all enhanced!

Even the power of his natural talent had improved!

"After breaking the ten thousand catties limit, the power boost from the thunder attribute allows me to contend with mid-stage martial artists using only the strength of my physical body! But I'm still a little behind late-stage martial artists!"

"However, those gaps can be closed with the speed boost from my wind attribute talent!"

"And this means that…"

Tearing sound!

Li Feng split the second-level medium rank beast into two with one stroke. Standing in his place, his gaze was electric as he muttered, "I no longer fear Zhou Cheng!"

"It seems…"

"It’s time to return to the base!"

It makes sense.

After cultivating to the martial artist realm, the original body refining method could no longer keep up with his progress, a higher-level method was required.

This required a purchase from the grand shop within the base.

Thinking this way,

Li Feng collected the materials and blood from this beast and was ready to leave.

However…

Before leaving, Li Feng had one more thing to do!

…

…Within a secluded valley.

Ancient trees reached out to the sky while their large canopies allowed the light to trickle down through the leaves, filling the area with a chiaroscuro effect, reminiscent of dusk.

Holding his warrior blade, Li Feng was vigilantly observing his surroundings.

All of a sudden,

He paused as if he had sensed something. He stopped and focused his gaze in a certain direction.

On a robust tree, under the dense canopy, two substantial heads popped out. With their four cold eyes staring at him, they emitted an eerie chill.

Behind the heads, a body about a meter thick coiled around the tree trunk.

At a rough estimate, it was at least thirty meters long.

It was a python!

And it was a python with two heads!

A Two-Headed Python!

It was a vivid green python with a cool sheen on its skin that gave it an invincible demeanor.

"This strong power…it's clearly on the level of a high-ranking second level beast!"

Li Feng had a solemn expression in his eyes.

The upper second-level beasts were comparable to late-stage human martial artists!

The two-headed python was one of the most challenging beasts to deal with, not only because their bodies were tough, and difficult to wound with swords, but they were also highly poisonous, a touch could be fatal.

Even several late-stage martial artists of the same level would have a hard time rivalling it!

At this moment,

The two-headed python looked down at Li Feng, its cold eyes filled with chill.

For it, anyone who dared to intrude into its territory would become its prey.

At this moment, Li Feng was also looking at the two-headed python in front of him, and all the blood energy in his body was mobilized.

The two-headed python wanted to devour him!

And he...

Also wanted to slay the two-headed python, to get its gallbladder and serpent heart!

“Hiss!"

Suddenly,

The two-headed snake roared, and then suddenly lunged at him. One of its heads descended from the sky, and in mid-air its mouth gape opened wide, ready to swallow Li Feng whole.

A foul wind loomed, mixed with a dizzying poisonous fog that was nauseating.

"Such quick speed!"

Li Feng was taken aback.

Despite its large size, the two-headed python was incredibly fast.

When the head came crashing down, it almost surpassed the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom in mid-air.

Li Feng immediately activated his talent, and the Luo Smoke Step kicked into gear. His body retreated quickly and in an instant, retreated over ten meters away, evading the python's strike.

But...

At this moment.

The other head of the python also suddenly slammed over, bringing with it an earthshattering sound as if a huge rock was crashing, reminiscent of a tidal wave crashing ashore.

The terrifying force,

Made the air scream.

There was no doubt,

If it was hit by such a head, it would definitely be crushed into powder in the first instant.

In the face of such power and speed, another experienced late-stage martial artist would not dare to resist, but could only dodge desperately.

However...

At that moment.

Li Feng's body slightly squat down, the warrior blade pointing diagonally to the ground.

At this moment, he was looking at the descending head of the two-headed python. His eyes were electric-like while he was squatting down, Suddenly, he leaped like a spring, his body turned into a black light, dashing towards the python.

"Clang!"

A faint sound of a blade rang through the silent jungle.

A dim blade light emerged from the warrior blade, and then with a flash of cold light, carrying an irresistible force, it slashed towards the python's head.

Bronze-Level Martial Skill - Skybreaker Blade!

"Puchi!"

The blade strike was so stunning, and Li Feng seemingly took action later, but it was like swift as if he had acted first.

Along with the falling blade, there was a bright red splash at the neck of the python's head. The red splash was soon enough turning into a full-blown blossom which looked like a blooming plum blossom.

The next moment,

The plum blossom burst open, like a firework. The python's head was blown up in an instant and slipped from its neck and fell into the grass!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
