Chapter 1371 1371: Qin Feng, Ninth Grade!
Qin Feng was surprised again: "You, you know... that I have the Dragon Emperor Bloodline?"His Dragon Emperor Bloodline was discovered by the Beidou Old Divine Doctor while he was in Dragon and Tiger Village. Before that, even he himself wasn't aware of it, yet his mother knew!
His mother gently stroked his head with a smile, saying: "You are my son, naturally I know everything about you."
As she spoke.
She sighed gently and continued: "There were some issues back then. When you were born, you already had the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and I was worried that its awakening would devour you while you were still young, and also concerned you would become 'meat on the chopping block' for others. So, I forcibly sealed the bloodline and modified your Dantian; otherwise, if the Dragon Emperor Bloodline fully awakened, an ordinary person's Qi Sea, even at the Immortal Realm, wouldn't fulfill the Dragon Emperor's needs. In short, none of this was coincidental."
"I see."
Qin Feng suddenly realized why his Qi Sea was different from others; it had been altered at birth, all to prevent the complete awakening of the Dragon Emperor.
"Then, with my current Qi Sea, at what level of cultivation can I resist the Dragon Emperor?" he asked.
His mother sighed gently and said: "Even though your Qi Sea is as vast as the ocean, the Dragon Emperor is no ordinary entity. I don't know how powerful it is, but to prevent any backlash from the Dragon Emperor, you'll need to be at least at the Saint Realm."
"Alright, I understand!"
Qin Feng nodded, his eyes revealing a glimmer of hope.
Saint Realm?
Then I must continue to work hard!
"By the way, go and get ready! Then consume the Holy Fruit," said his mother, "it can elevate your cultivation to the Peak of a Grandmaster."
"Oh??"
Qin Feng was surprised and said, "My Qi Sea is different from others; each level of advancement consumes spiritual power several times, even tens or hundreds of times, more than normal people. I'm currently at just the Third Grade Grandmaster level."
"I know," his mother replied with a smile, "which is why I said earlier that this Holy Fruit was kept especially for you. Don't worry, it can, but..."
As she spoke, her eyes showed a hint of affectionate pain, "It's just... you'll have to endure pain that even immortals find unbearable. Can you handle it?"
"I can!"
Qin Feng's expression was resolute, "It's just pain; even the pain of death, I've endured before!"
Back then.
To treat his illness, the Beidou Old Divine Doctor conducted various experiments on his body all day long, freezing him in extremely cold places, steaming him in fire seas, puncturing him with countless silver needles to open acupuncture points, and more, experiencing countless times of excruciating pain and nearing death. He survived through it all.
Pain?
For him, it was the simplest of challenges...
...
In a cave in the back mountain.
Qin Feng sat cross-legged, regulating his breath.
Once his breathing was steady, he took out the Holy Fruit and swallowed it.
Then.
His entire body erupted with golden lightning, crackling with explosive sounds!
Three hours later.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Feng shouted: "Grade Four Grandmaster, break!!"
A surge of powerful force erupted from within.
Outside the cave.
Little Tiger Cat played around with a small yarn ball, heard the sound, glanced inside twice, then continued to play.
Four hours later, with the sun setting and darkness falling.
The cave echoed with Qin Feng's voice again: "Grade Five Grandmaster, break!!"
Little Tiger Cat glanced inside twice and was about to continue playing.
At this moment.
Suddenly, two shadows flashed by, seemingly heading for the cave.
Seeing this, Little Tiger Cat dashed to the entrance with a "meow," its gaze sharp as a knife, exuding a deathly aura, as if warning them that stepping forward would be the end of them!
The two shadows shivered, exchanged a glance, and said: "What, what should we do?"
"Better retreat! We can't afford to mess with this cat..."
said the companion.
With no other choice.
The two had to turn around helplessly and disappear from the scene.
Only then did Little Tiger Cat change its demeanor and continue to play with the ball of yarn.
All night.
Three groups attempted to enter the cave to attack Qin Feng, but all chose to give up because of Little Tiger Cat's presence, lacking even the courage to do battle.
The next morning.
With a rumbling sound from the cave, Qin Feng's voice was heard: "Grade Six Grandmaster, break!!"
That night.
Qin Feng: "Grade Seven Grandmaster, break!!"
The third day.
Qin Feng: "Grade Eight Grandmaster, break!!"
The fourth day.
Qin Feng: "Grade Nine Grandmaster, break!!"
A dull explosion sound surged from within the cave.
Afterwards.
Qin Feng stepped out, his body still glowing with the remnants of his breakthrough.
A gentle breeze blew.
The fringes of his hair swayed lightly.
His eyes were like stars.
Filled with infinite longing.
"I did it..."
Qin Feng looked at his hands, feeling the new power, his heart filled with excitement.
Ninth Grade Grandmaster!
He never imagined that in just three days, he could advance from a Third Grade Grandmaster to a Ninth Grade Grandmaster!
It was like a dream!
At the same time.
He also felt deeply moved.
He knew this was all prepared by his mother, Lady Dongfang, for him.
From reconstructing his Dantian to cultivating the Holy Fruit, everything she did was to make him stronger!
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Outside, his mother's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at him.
She knew the immense pain Qin Feng endured over those three days; she felt both a heartache for him and was moved by his resilience!
Qin Feng approached her with determined eyes, saying: "From now on, I'll protect you! No one in this world will bully you again."
...
In a grand hall within a pavilion on the northwest side of Heavenly King Mountain, in the residence of the Ninth Elder.
The Ninth Elder received a report from two men in black, saying Qin Feng had consumed the Holy Fruit and achieved the Ninth Grade Grandmaster level within three days, and he was instantly unsettled.
"Bang—!"
He angrily smashed a teacup on the floor, cursing, "A bunch of useless people!! Three days have passed, and you still haven't secretly dealt with him. What's the use of you?"
"But, the cat was always guarding the cave entrance, not just us," the man replied tremblingly, "even the others arranged by the elders retreated upon seeing that cat..."
"..."
Fuming, the Ninth Elder was helpless as well.
He knew how formidable that cat was; not just his people, even he himself might not be a match for it.
"Hmph! The best Holy Fruit, given to that good-for-nothing, how infuriating!!"
The Ninth Elder grumbled.
"Elder, Bai has been wanting to see you these days..."
reported the man.
Hearing this, the Ninth Elder said: "At just the right time to vent my anger, let him in!"
Bai entered, pale-faced, weak and powerless, with whip marks emblazoned across his body, inflicted by the Ninth Elder's own hand in anger after he was brought back to Heavenly King Mountain.
But his eyes still showed resentment and unwillingness.
"Elder."
Kneeling down, Bai raised his head and said, "I've figured it out; I finally know why I lost to Qin Feng! Please give me another chance, and I'll surely defeat him!"
