The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 598: Breaking the Limit! Level 10 Soul Force!
Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Breaking the Limit! Level 10 Soul Force!
After listening to the information Hei Xin had gathered, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Hei Xin, are you sure this information is true? And not another trap set for us?"
Hei Xin nodded firmly and said, "Ye Chenfeng, I obtained this piece of information through special channels and spent a full thousand US dollars on it, so it’s definitely true. The question is, how do we infiltrate the location of the grand event?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chenfeng said, "Hei Xin, it’s actually quite easy for us to infiltrate the location of the grand event. Now that the leaders of the Devouring Empire in various countries are all in Country M, we just need to quietly kill a batch of them, make their human skin masks, and collect their fingerprints. Then we will be able to easily infiltrate the location of the grand event. Killing these leaders from the Devouring Empire in the different countries won’t be difficult, but what I’m mostly worried about is the possibility that there are even more powerful experts within the Devouring Empire."
"That Shadow who came to Brother Li’s villa, I could feel that alone, he could easily defeat all of us. Therefore, without a certain degree of confidence, I do not advocate for infiltrating the location where the Devouring Empire’s grand event is being held."
Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed slightly. He knew he had to break through to Level Ten Soul Force quickly, only then, when infiltrating the Devouring Empire’s grand event, would there be the assurance of eradicating the Devouring Empire in one fell swoop.
Ye Chenfeng also knew that if this opportunity to act during the Devouring Empire’s grand event was missed, it would be even harder to utterly destroy the Devouring Empire in the future.
"Ye Chenfeng, are we just going to sit here without any assurance?" Hei Xin raised his voice. "The government of Country M is now siding with the Devouring Empire. It’s almost impossible for us to leave Country M now. If we don’t fight to the death, what else can we do?"
Ye Chenfeng patted Hei Xin on the shoulder and said, "Hei Xin, calm down. Are you going to court death knowingly? That’s not bravery, nor is it fearlessness—it’s a very foolish action. You can only see the downfall of the Devouring Empire with your own eyes if you’re alive. Therefore, the more critical the moment, the more we need to keep our minds cool."
Hearing this, Hei Xin realized he had lost control of his emotions and said, "Ye Chenfeng, I’m sorry. Do you have any feasible plans now?"
"The grand event of the Devouring Empire is the day after tomorrow, which means we still have today and tomorrow. In these two days, I will do my best to break through my current strength. If I can break through within these two days, the likelihood of us infiltrating the location of the Devouring Empire’s grand event and wiping them out is much greater than before."
"So, let’s leave it to fate! If I can break through within these two days, we’ll take action; otherwise, I think we have no need to go and throw our lives away for nothing." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Ye Chenfeng had been stuck at the peak of Level Nine Soul Force for quite some time now. Currently, his Soul Force, refined through the Yin-Yang Union, was about three times purer than that of an average peak level nine expert. This meant that if he stepped into the realm of Level Ten Soul Force, he would definitely be stronger than a master in the initial stage of Level Ten Soul Force.
Feeling the intensity of the Soul Force emanating from Shadow, Ye Chenfeng was sure that Shadow had not reached the peak of Level Ten Soul Force. Therefore, only by breaking through to Level Ten Soul Force could Ye Chenfeng be confident of defeating Shadow. Who knew if there were other masters with Level Ten Soul Force within the Devouring Empire? He could not afford to care about that anymore.
"What do you think? Hei Xin, do you have any objections now?" Ye Chenfeng looked at Hei Xin and asked.
Hei Xin shook his head and said, "Ye Chenfeng, you take care of everything! I’ve found that no matter what kind of situation you’re in, you always maintain a cool head. Next to you, I still seem immature."
The Hei Xiong, who had always followed Ye Chenfeng and the others, almost popped his eyes out when he heard Hei Xin admit his own immaturity. Hei Xin, once the person in charge of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia Country, was anything but a kind-hearted believer. His methods in handling any matter were decisive and ruthless. As a subordinate of Hei Xin, Hei Xiong couldn’t know his boss any better.
Seeing that Hei Xin had no objections, Ye Chenfeng addressed everyone, saying, "You all go into the mountain range, find a good place to hide, and I will go deeper into the mountains to train for these two days. I hope to make a breakthrough in a short time. If you have no questions, then I will enter deep into the mountains now."
Wang Li and the others all shook their heads, indicating they had no issues.
Ye Chenfeng’s figure swiftly rushed into the mountains, leaping onto the branches of trees. Jumping from one large tree to another, his figure quickly vanished from everyone’s sight.
The primitive mountain range was vast. Half an hour later, with his speed, Ye Chenfeng arrived deep within the mountains and sat down on a thick tree trunk, wondering how he could possibly break through to Level Ten Soul Force?
Ye Chenfeng remembered what his instructor in his previous life had once told him, "It’s not genuinely difficult to break through from Level One to Level Nine Soul Force. However, to leap from Level Nine to Level Ten Soul Force, a breakthrough requires an opportunity. If one day you reach the peak of Level Nine Soul Force, you can try repressing your Soul Force and fight enemies with your own strength. This might stimulate the opportunity to advance into Level Ten Soul Force. But this is purely my speculation. Besides, it would probably take several years for you to reach the peak of Level Nine Soul Force."
Coming out of his flashbacks from his previous life, Ye Chenfeng immediately suppressed his peak Level Nine Soul Force, temporarily sealing it in a part of his body. He decided to test this method and engage in life-and-death combat with the beasts in the mountain range, to see if he could breakthrough to Level Ten Soul Force using his own strength.
After searching in the mountain range for over an hour, Ye Chenfeng finally found a pack of wolves gathered together. When Ye Chenfeng noticed the wolves, they also noticed him, and the hungry wolves with grey fur stared fiercely at him.
Ye Chenfeng, without hesitation, charged towards the pack of wolves, holding only a sharpened tree trunk in his hand. Without using Soul Force, his speed was clearly incomparable to what it was before.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng attack proactively, the beasts hesitated no further. They opened their jaws wide and pounced towards Ye Chenfeng en masse.
Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng’s combat experience was exceedingly in-depth. He dodged the wolf pack’s assaults with nimble footwork, continuously thrusting the tree trunk in his hand towards the hungry wolves’ heads. In just one minute, three hungry wolves had died by Ye Chenfeng’s hand—bear in mind, this was without the use of Soul Force.
However, as he didn’t use Soul Force, after killing three hungry wolves, his breathing through the nose became noticeably erratic. Yet as the wolf pack saw their companions fall to Ye Chenfeng, their attacks became even fiercer and faster, causing Ye Chenfeng to start struggling somewhat. From time to time, he would either be bitten by the hungry wolves or get scratched by their sharp claws.
After half an hour had passed.
The ground was littered with the bodies of more than a dozen hungry wolves. Ye Chenfeng, gasping for breath, also lay on the ground. By this time, his clothes were torn to shreds, and his arms and thighs bore fresh, bloodied wounds. His whole person appeared blood-soaked.
Ye Chenfeng, in the midst of battle with the beasts without utilizing his Soul Force, felt no sign of a breakthrough within himself, a wave of frustration welling up in his heart.
...
When the sun slowly rose from the east the next day, Ye Chenfeng was covered with scars, sitting at the edge of a cliff roughly six hundred meters tall. After battling the wolves yesterday, he fought tigers, lions, and even a great black bear. He had clashed with almost every ferocious beast in the mountain range, yet not once did he feel a hint of his Soul Force breaking through.
His eyes were bloodshot, feeling the pain of his wounds, Ye Chenfeng patted his head and said, "Calm down! Calm down! Think back, did the instructor from my previous life ever tell me anything useful?"
Ye Chenfeng closed his eyes, banishing all impatience from his heart, and recalled events of his past life. One hour, two hours, three hours later, he suddenly opened his eyes. His instructor from his previous life was a Level Ten Soul Force expert. He remembered that his instructor’s breakthrough from Level Nine to Level Ten had happened while on a mission; the enemy had forced him to jump off a cliff. Surprisingly, during the fall, his instructor had a breakthrough and thereby saved his own life.
Ye Chenfeng stood up from the ground; he was exactly at the edge of a cliff. After roughly estimating the height of the cliff and then checking its bottom, he saw no lakes or ponds, just a flat surface. An ordinary person would certainly die if they jumped off the cliff.
Ye Chenfeng’s mind heated up as he thought, "Never mind, as for today, I have to try it out for myself."
Ye Chenfeng’s body leapt off the cliff, still without using the Soul Force within him. The sound of the wind "whooshing" filled his ears, causing a stabbing pain in his eardrums. Without the protection of the Soul Force, his body was completely vulnerable.
About six hundred meters high.
Ye Chenfeng’s body rapidly fell, and as he neared the ground, it became clear that if he did not use his Soul Force, his death was certain.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Ye Chenfeng’s heart rate suddenly accelerated, giving him the sensation of racing against the Grim Reaper. As death approached him step by step, just as he was about to activate his Soul Force within, he suddenly felt a slight looseness in his Level Nine Soul Force. So he gritted his teeth and stopped activating the Soul Force.
Forty meters.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
Ye Chenfeng’s pupils dilated enormously, his heart beating as if it might burst out of his chest. However, within him, his Peak Level Nine Soul Force was becoming increasingly loose, showing signs of stepping into Level Ten.
Nine meters.
Eight meters.
Seven meters.
Six meters.
"Ah!" Ye Chenfeng let out a frenzied roar from his throat, the Soul Force within his body beginning to surge wildly, his aura growing sharply.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The energy fluctuations emanating from Ye Chenfeng’s body caused the rocks on the cliff wall to burst apart, the loud noises echoing throughout the entire mountain range. (To be continued.
