This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 267 - 35 Breaking Limits
Chapter 267: Chapter 35: Breaking Limits
Chapter 267 -35: Breaking Limits
On the Dragon and Tiger Platform, Li Fei and the Chu Family martial master had already been playing “hide and seek” for over ten minutes.
Even for a tournament match, this duration was relatively long, and “hide and seek” was actually quite exhausting.
“Ha… ha…”
The Chu Family martial master gasped twice.
He had been going at full power trying to catch up to Li Fei, and after more than ten minutes of pursuit, he had exhausted a lot of his physical strength and Innate Qi; his Rhino Dragon Shield had also become significantly heavier.
Keep in mind the shield weighed over 300 pounds!
If this continued, he might end up unable to lift the shield at all.
Li Fei, of course, also had his consumption, but firstly, as a Refining Strength Martial Master, his physique was stronger than a martial master’s, and he had better stamina; secondly, Force was more refined and durable than Innate Qi; thirdly, he didn’t have a shield weighing over 300 pounds, so his consumption was smaller than his opponent’s.
Thus, Li Fei wasn’t afraid of a war of attrition. If the martial master who came up did not have fire or gold attribute Innate Qi, he could relatively easily defeat the opponent.
That was the reason Chu Po gave up on the tactic of attrition.
Just as this martial master hesitated about whether to continue chasing on the platform, a powerful aura suddenly surged over.
Both he and Li Fei subconsciously turned their heads, only to see a man holding a long saber, emerging from the wine house where Chu Po was based.

Steam at high temperatures constantly emerged from the man’s body, quickly igniting his clothes and pants, which then turned to ashes, exposing a full set of black protective clothing underneath.
His exposed skin was dark red, adorned with flame patterns breathing out white steam.
This man was Liu Zheng, who had taken a Limit-breaking Pill, and his Implant was the commonly seen Fire Attribute Implant [Flame Pattern], but at this moment, the aura he emitted felt like an about-to-erupt live volcano!
“Is this [Flame Pattern]? Something’s not right!”
In another wine house, also watching from a window, Zhang Zedong showed a look of astonishment.
“This level of [Flame Pattern] is comparable to a Tao Foundation Stage strongman already.”
Shangguan Xiao said solemnly beside him.
As a Tao Foundation Stage herself, her judgment was convincing enough.
This statement panicked the Zhang Family people present.
“How is this possible?!”
“Liu Zheng is clearly only at the Qi Change Stage.”
“He couldn’t have broken through so suddenly.”
“Could it be… the Limit-breaking Pill?”
Someone guessed the truth.
A pill like the Limit-breaking Pill was naturally extremely precious since having such a pill was tantamount to having an extra life in times of crisis!
Even the Zhang Family couldn’t produce many of such pills, and they hadn’t foreseen that Chu Po would have one.
Clearly, this pill was Chu Po’s last resort, which now Li Fei had forced him to use.
“Damn, even the Limit-breaking Pill has been used!”
Someone from the Zhang Family cursed.
Even Shangguan Xiao, who had always been confident in Li Fei, couldn’t help but worry a bit.
She wasn’t worried about Li Fei’s safety, having seen him face a Tao Foundation Stage strongman head-on before.
But at that time, Li Fei was in the “Blood Demon State”; in today’s circumstances, if Li Fei used such ultimate moves, Green-faced Ghost’s identity would be immediately exposed!
After all, Green-faced Ghost was accountable for many officials’ lives, and once exposed, not even Wuda could protect him.
If that happened, a great future would be ruined.
Thus, Shangguan Xiao also started to worry for Li Fei.
A Tao Foundation Stage strongman would gain enhancements on three levels upon integrating a new Implant:
First, the body would be newly strengthened.
Second, Force would be strengthened due to the integration of new Innate Qi.
Third, the original Implant would be enhanced, delaying the aging phase while enhancing extraordinary abilities.
Now that Liu Zheng had taken a Limit-breaking Pill, drastically activating the potential of the Implant within him, it was equivalent to gaining almost the full second enhancement and the third enhancement.
In other words, he was equivalent to almost a full Tao Foundation Stage at this moment!
Without revealing his true combat power, could Li Fei withstand this nearly full Tao Foundation Stage?
At this moment, Shangguan Xiao had no certainty in her heart.
“Come down.”
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng said in a hoarse voice to the Chu Family martial master on the platform.
Hearing this, the martial master sighed in relief, turned around without hesitation, and jumped off the platform.
That was effectively conceding the match voluntarily.
He walked toward Liu Zheng, who was still emitting steam from his whole body, somewhat afraid to get too close.
“Give me the shield.”
Liu Zheng extended his left hand to him.
“Okay.”
The martial master handed the Rhino Dragon Shield to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng took the shield.
Now, he held a fifth-level shield in his left hand and a fourth-level saber in his right!
Not only that, but he was also wearing a fourth-level Protective Clothing.
This Protective Clothing had been directly removed from Chu Po, for Liu Zheng to change into immediately.
Step by step, Liu Zheng walked towards the platform, and in just those few steps, the high temperature had burned his shoes to ash!
Sizzle—
As Liu Zheng jumped onto the Dragon and Tiger Platform and set foot barefoot on the Xuanwu Stone, it immediately sounded like a red-hot iron being plunged into water; the sturdy Xuanwu Stone began to slowly melt!
Looking at Li Fei standing ten meters away, Liu Zheng displayed a fervent look, raised the fourth-level Abnormal Weapon in his hands, and from above, swung a slash through the air towards in front of him.
Whoosh—
The next second, red-colored Flame Intense Force surged out from the blade.
A Qi Change Late Stage Refining Strength Martial Master could not only release Force externally but also allow Force to mimic shapes.
Shape Mimicry wasn’t for aesthetics, but rather for controlling the direction and structure of the Force to use higher-level Martial Arts.
The Force Liu Zheng refined was Flame Intense Force, more fierce than Flame Stream Force but lacking agility; thus, he couldn’t perfect Chu Po’s signature move “Returning to Ashes,” but this slash was inspired by it, albeit much cruder.
