“Big Brother, nothing is impossible. With your talent, it won’t be long before you can achieve the same.” Su Ran said with a smile.
“Really?” Chen Fei was somewhat expectant. However, he was not willing to admit defeat just yet. Instead, he swung his fist once again.
Compared to his previous punch, this time, he activated the Thousand Phantom Slash, increasing his power by several times.
Boom!
Another loud explosion echoed.
Chen Fei’s fist was like a massive boulder, smashing hard against Su Ran’s protective shield.
The protective shield still did not shatter, but the overwhelming force could no longer be completely absorbed. The impact sent Su Ran staggering backward, her feet creating several deep craters in the ground.
“Hmm?” Su Ran’s eyes lit up.
“Big Brother, is this your limit?” she asked again.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. Su Ran’s displayed strength had shocked him immensely. Even with the enhancement of Thousand Phantom Slash, combined with his Dragon Transformation Power, he still could not break through her defense?
“Could it be that I am truly no longer a match for my wife?” Unwilling to accept this, Chen Fei decided to push his limits further.
“Su Ran, be careful from here on.” Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. This time, he intended to unleash the power of a Spellcaster.
Speaking of which, the various spell techniques he had learned were all taught to him by Su Ran. Now, he was going to use one of them—Spirit Manipulation Technique.
Spirit Manipulation could greatly enhance martial techniques when combined with them, just like how a general commands his soldiers in battle.
Silently, Chen Fei opened his Sea of Consciousness and activated Spirit Manipulation Technique, channeling it into the Void Sky Cauldron. Immediately, it transformed into an endless stream of spiritual energy, merging into his inner power, and was then released through Thousand Phantom Slash.
With multiple enhancements, at this moment, Chen Fei’s fist seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, reaching an extreme level of speed.
Boom!
A muffled explosion erupted.
Su Ran’s protective shield was pushed to its limit but could not withstand the terrifying force. It shattered instantly.
The residual force of the punch crashed into Su Ran’s chest, sending her flying backward.
Seeing this, Chen Fei’s expression changed. Regret flooded his heart—why had he gotten so competitive with Su Ran?
“Su Ran, are you alright?” Chen Fei ran forward, full of self-reproach.
Su Ran got up from the ground, patted the dust off her clothes, and smiled. “Big Brother, I’m fine.”
“Big Brother, do you still have any hidden power left?” she asked.
Chen Fei was surprised that Su Ran was still concerned about this. He quickly shook his head. “This is about my current limit. Even if I have other techniques, they are only auxiliary methods.”
“Big Brother, I didn’t expect your achievements in spellcasting to be so high. If I’m not mistaken, you must have practiced at least an Earth-grade martial technique, right?” Su Ran said, full of excitement.
Chen Fei did not respond to the question about Earth-grade martial techniques. Thousand Phantom Slash had always maintained a several-times power boost, but it had not yet reached its peak state of sixteen times the amplification.
For a long time, the power of Thousand Phantom Slash had remained stagnant. Chen Fei did not know the reason, so he had not paid much attention to it.
Hearing his question, Su Ran replied confidently, “Big Brother, judging by your last punch, your strength has already reached the later stage of the Second Tier Spirit Master realm.”
“In other words, you have the combat power of a late-stage Tier Two True Spirit Master,” she continued. “Although you may not be a match for the Silver Flood Dragon, you should be able to withstand ten of its attacks without much issue.”
“I’m this strong?” Chen Fei was somewhat surprised.
His cultivation had indeed improved rapidly lately—so much so that even high-grade Tier Three elixirs were no longer enough to enhance his spiritual energy.
However, he was still only at the Spirit Transformation Realm and had yet to break through to the Spirit Master Realm. He had assumed that his combat strength was equivalent to a Tier One True Spirit Master, but he had not expected that with the aid of spell techniques, he could reach the level of a late-stage Tier Two True Spirit Master.
“Big Brother, let’s hunt the injured Hundred-Foot Silver Flood Dragon together. The dragon’s blood will be yours, and the rest will be mine,” Su Ran suggested eagerly.
Seeing Chen Fei hesitate, she quickly added, “Big Brother, you haven’t reached the Spirit Master Realm yet. The dragon’s inner core would be too difficult for you to absorb, and it would only be a burden.”
“No, Su Ran,” Chen Fei shook his head. “If we can really slay the Hundred-Foot Silver Flood Dragon, you can take all the spoils of battle.”
“That won’t do!” Su Ran refused, shaking her head firmly. In her heart, she felt she already owed Chen Fei too much. Most importantly, their relationship was special.
“If you don’t agree to this division, then let’s forget it,” she insisted. She would not be polite with Chen Fei because she already felt indebted to him beyond repayment.
Seeing her determination, Chen Fei could only nod. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
With that, the two set off to find the Hundred-Foot Silver Flood Dragon and launch their hunt.
Even though the dragon was injured, according to Su Ran’s calculations, it still had at least the strength of a Tier Two True Spirit Master, possibly even comparable to a Tier Three True Spirit Master.
In contrast, Chen Fei and Su Ran appeared much weaker—one had the aura of only a Tier Nine Grand Spirit Master, while the other seemed no different from an ordinary person.
Moreover, given Chen Fei’s deep grudge with the Hundred-Foot Silver Flood Dragon, once it detected his presence, it would surely strike first without considering that he was hunting it.
While Chen Fei and Su Ran moved to locate the dragon, outside Falling Spiral Valley, a new presence arrived—Wei Tinghong, a student of Qinghai Academy, who had entered the secret realm seeking opportunities.
Accompanying him was the mysterious spellcaster Ye Chenxing. However, while Wei Tinghong moved openly, Ye Chenxing followed secretly behind him, both heading towards Falling Spiral Valley.
“Ye Brother, are you sure you can track Chen Yang’s whereabouts?” Wei Tinghong asked. He was unaware that Ye Chenxing was a high-tier spellcaster, believing him to be only at the level of a Tier One True Spirit Master.
If not for Ye Chenxing, Wei Tinghong would never have agreed to Ye Chenye’s exchange offer.
“Don’t worry, as a spellcaster, I have confidence in my abilities in this area,” Ye Chenxing said with a smile. “However, when the time comes for action, I will rely on Brother Wei.”
“A mere Tier Nine Grand Spirit Master—no matter how extraordinary his background, he won’t escape my grasp,” Wei Tinghong declared confidently.
With that, the two continued their pursuit, following the traces of Chen Fei and Su Ran. Thanks to Ye Chenxing’s secret technique, they were indeed getting closer.
