After stopping the devouring, Liu Guanfeng quickly examined his body. Inside the Dragon Pearl, two streams of Chaotic Qi were formed, and a small portion was merging with the four newly absorbed elemental attributes from the outside. It was as if this small part of Fighting Qi was devouring the four types of Fighting Qi coming from the outside. In a short while, the Fighting Qi absorbed from the outside gradually transformed into white, attribute-less Fighting Qi.
Seeing that Liu Guanfeng had reached the shore, Iron Bull and the others who were resting prepared to greet him. However, upon seeing Liu Guanfeng's appearance, several youths were immediately pulled back by Bao Rui. He whispered to them, "Third Brother seems to be practicing; let's wait until he wakes up."
The youths returned to their seats to rest. Liu Guanfeng's fusion process surprisingly took nearly half a day. Once all the Fighting Qi in his body transformed into attribute-less Fighting Qi, Liu Guanfeng attempted to use his Chaos Devouring technique again. This technique was indeed domineering; when Liu Guanfeng activated Chaos Devouring, even Bao Rui and the others, who were over ten meters away, could feel a significant decrease in the elemental density around them. They all opened their eyes to look in Liu Guanfeng's direction.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng stood quietly without moving, as elements continuously surged into his body. Although he had previously learned Chaos Devouring, he only dared to use it within the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, which primarily needed to be used outdoors. Transforming unbalanced attributes was the final function of Chaos Devouring, and this was precisely the bottleneck Liu Guanfeng needed to break through.
Liu Guanfeng had been standing above the sea for five or six hours until sunset when he finally opened his eyes. The first person to rush over upon seeing Liu Guanfeng awake was Li Xiaohan. Liu Guanfeng had been underwater for a full ten days for training. If it weren't for Xuanwu telling everyone that he was fine, these people would have likely rushed in to rescue him long ago. Seeing Liu Guanfeng return, Li Xiaohan stood before him with tears in her eyes, her large eyes constantly gazing at him.
Liu Guanfeng gently wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled at everyone, saying, "Sorry to worry you all."
Xuanwu chuckled as he looked at Liu Guanfeng. "How did your practice go?" Liu Guanfeng nodded in response.
"Thank you, Xuanwu Master; Disciple has successfully mastered it. I can now breathe freely underwater."
For Xuanwu, who already knew the answer, it was a pleasant surprise. However, for Iron Bull and the others resting nearby, it was shocking. They had all trained together; why was only Liu Guanfeng successful? Among them, the slowest one hadn't even mastered the second level of Mind Method yet he could already breathe freely underwater—this was truly infuriating.
Seeing everyone's astonished expressions made Liu Guanfeng playful as he cupped his fist towards Xuanwu and said, "Xuanwu Master, my underwater skills are complete; I wish to return to the Four Sacred Valleys now. I feel that my strength has improved due to practicing underwater techniques; Disciple wants to see if I can break through my meridians and enter the Advanced Knight ranks."
Bao Rui, Iron Bull, Copper Bull, and the other youths onshore looked at Liu Guanfeng with serious expressions: arrogant—absolutely arrogant. They wondered if this Third Brother could even be considered human; for others, breaking through to Advanced Knight in a lifetime was already incredibly difficult yet here he was—a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy—achieving it so easily.
Bao Rui and Iron Bull were calculating whether he was their subordinate or if they were his; how could a subordinate's martial arts far exceed that of their master?
Bao Rui glanced at his companions; now Bao Rui, Copper Bull, Iron Bull, and Dai were all upper-level Junior Knights just one step away from Intermediate Knight while Liu Guanfeng had completely outpaced them by an entire level. Then Bao Rui looked toward Copper Bull and others; just then the other three youths onshore also turned to look at Bao Rui. It was unclear if they shared similar thoughts but soon these four youths stood up simultaneously and walked towards the sea without looking back—looking somewhat tragic. If one didn't know what they were practicing for, one might think they were collectively committing suicide.
Liu Guanfeng watched his childhood friends with a comforting smile. After bowing to Xuanwu, he turned and returned to the Four Sacred Valleys with Little Black and XP.
Back in the Four Sacred Valleys, Liu Guanfeng directly found Qinglong: "Master." He bowed respectfully.
Qinglong nodded. "What brings you here today? Weren't you learning underwater techniques with Xuanwu?"
"In response to Master," Liu Guanfeng said, "Xuanwu Master has taught Disciple preliminary underwater techniques which I have grasped; what remains is continuous practice in the future. Today Disciple came to ask Master about something."
"You can go ahead and speak. What is it?"
"Excuse me, Azure Dragon Master, is there any kind of medicine that can enhance one's power?"
"Enhance power? What do you want that for? At your age, very few can reach the level you have already achieved. Are you still dissatisfied with your progress?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head. "In response to the Master, it's not for myself. I just wanted to ask for a few people, including Bao Rui. They are my right-hand men, and if their strength is lacking, it will limit their ability to help me in the future. So I wanted to ask if you have such a pill, Azure Dragon Master."
The Azure Dragon thought for a moment. "Such a pill does exist, but the materials needed to refine it are hard to find. You should go back and wait for me to discuss with Vermilion Bird Master whether we have enough materials."
"Thank you, Master." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng hesitated.
"Is there anything else?"
"Master, I would like to ask if this pill has any side effects."
The Azure Dragon looked at Liu Guanfeng and nodded. He did not expect this disciple to be so thoughtful and sincere towards his subordinates. "There are no side effects. The pills that enhance power on the Knight continent help store energy and open up meridians. There are no real side effects; if there is one, it’s that after opening them, they need time to adapt. Just give them some time."
"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave now." Liu Guanfeng bowed and exited.
After Liu Guanfeng left the room, the Azure Dragon followed him out and went to the room of the Vermilion Bird. As for the outcome of the discussion between the two masters, it was not something Liu Guanfeng could interfere with.
Once back in his own room, Liu Guanfeng immediately activated the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array and entered a state of cultivation with two mounts. Since Liu Guanfeng had been practicing Chaos Devouring for over two years, he usually only dared to use it within the Spirit Gathering Array. Now that he had learned to use it outside as well, he no longer needed to continue consolidating Chaos Devouring. Therefore, what Liu Guanfeng hoped for was to quickly open up his meridians and reach the level of Advanced Knight.
Liu Guanfeng sat quietly on his bed, adjusting his Fighting Qi to enter a stable state once again. Soon he entered a state of emptiness beneath the sea, feeling as if he were soaring in the sky. His body swayed left and right with the wind as a stream of Fighting Qi slowly rose from his lower abdomen and wandered through his body.
Following the incantation of the Chaotic Heart Method, Liu Guanfeng guided this Fighting Qi along his meridians repeatedly. After this Fighting Qi circulated ten times within him, it suddenly turned towards another meridian that had yet to be opened. With a burst of energy exploding in one of Liu Guanfeng's meridians, he felt light all over, and his entire being became extremely comfortable; he was very clear about his own condition.
Thus, Liu Guanfeng drew another stream of Fighting Qi from the Dragon Pearl and guided it through the newly opened meridian. Once this meridian became familiar with the energy of Fighting Qi, Liu Guanfeng began circulating it around again. The Fighting Qi spun in circles within Liu Guanfeng's meridians; after ten more circuits, he concentrated all his Fighting Qi together and struck at the next meridian.
With all his focus concentrated, three more meridians were opened up by Liu Guanfeng. According to Knight continent standards, Liu Guanfeng had officially entered the ranks of Advanced Knight and had directly advanced from Intermediate Knight to mid-level Advanced Knight, increasing his strength by two tiers.
When Liu Guanfeng emerged from his room, he realized that this breakthrough had taken five days in total. He rubbed his empty stomach; no wonder he felt so hungry—it had already been five days! Fortunately, he absorbed elements to supplement some nutrition; otherwise, he would have been quite starved without having opened up his meridians.
Liu Guanfeng rushed into the kitchen and immediately devoured some leftover food. When the last person completed the underwater training taught by Xuanwu, a whole year had passed. Seeing that everyone had finished their training, Liu Guanfeng was very pleased. At that moment, several young men were called into the room by Qinglong.
"Four Masters, good," Liu Guanfeng and a dozen other young men stood in a line and bowed to the Four Sacred Beasts.
"The reason I brought you here today is that there is something I need you to do," Qinglong said after seeing the young men arrive.
"Please instruct us, Master."
"Zhuque, you explain," Qinglong handed the speaking rights to Zhuque.
Zhuque nodded at the young men: "I want to prepare some medicine recently, but I'm short on some materials. I need you to help me gather them, and I know where to find them. There are seven places in total: Snake Island, Beast Island, Wolf Island, Seabird Island, Monkey Island, Qingmu Island, and Fire Lizard Island. Additionally, you must not only bring back the medicinal materials I need from these seven islands but also capture some magical beast babies. We four will provide you with personal bodyguards based on the number of magical beasts you capture. Xiaofeng, you only need to catch eight."
Liu Guanfeng glanced at his eight personal guards and was quite satisfied with their performance; their only flaw was their lack of strength.
"Based on your abilities, we four have already assigned you to different islands. Just like last time, each of you will go to one island. The only difference this time is that Xiaofeng should not take XP and Little Black with him. Xiaofeng, you will go to Wolf Island. The Wolf King there is an Eighth Rank Mutated Beast with attributes that suit your appetite—lightning attribute. Your task is to kill all the adult wolves on Wolf Island. If you fail to kill all the adult wolves, they will follow your scent back to the Four Sacred Islands. Wolves are vengeful creatures and very patient, so you must ensure that all adult wolves are killed."
Hearing this requirement, Liu Guanfeng furrowed his brow; he could handle many tasks but felt uneasy about killing magical beasts. The Four Sacred Beasts recognized this weakness in Liu Guanfeng; in a world where strength is paramount, not being able to kill could be troublesome. In this world, it’s either kill or be killed. The Four Sacred Beasts couldn’t just watch Liu Guanfeng get killed, so they devised this method.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng's frown, Qinglong asked, "What's wrong, Xiaofeng? Do you have any difficulties?"
Liu Guanfeng looked up sharply at Azure Dragon Master and shook his head: "It's nothing, Master. I promise to complete the mission."
