Until the moment he returned to the academy and saw Uncle Fu, Lufan's tense nerves finally relaxed. He had been on high alert all the way back, carrying a significant portion of the wealth from the lord's manor.
Despite appearing bold and fearless as he stormed into the lord's manor alone with his sword today, effortlessly defeating Li Zheng and his companions, he knew that the danger he faced was immense. It was as if both sides were not even on the same level; his strength was overwhelming to the point of despair.
In reality, only he understood how perilous the situation was. This battle was the most dangerous he had ever experienced, even more so than when he had fled from Crazy Diamond's grasp.
Especially against the Fourth Prince and his three companions, who were not just any ordinary opponents but genuine Three Sixth-Rank Martial Practitioners along with a Fifth-Rank Martial Practitioner. Among them was even a peak Sixth Rank Martial Cultivator at the pinnacle of their power. For Lufan to emerge victorious against such a formidable lineup was nothing short of miraculous.
If it weren't for his possession of Divine Skills like the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, his exceptional ability to refine vital energy, the continuous supply of inner strength from Primordial Liquid, his profound understanding of martial arts, and his final realization of the balance between hardness and softness leading to techniques like Palm Thunder...
Without any one of these factors, Lufan could have easily failed today and met a tragic end at the hands of Li Zheng and his group.
It can be said that Lufan's victory was due to numerous reasons, many of which involved a fair amount of luck.
This battle was incredibly difficult for Lufan, exhausting him beyond imagination. After the fight, both his body and mind reached an extreme level of fatigue. However, due to the circumstances at that moment and to prevent others from sensing his weakness, he pretended to be unfazed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left his Qing Mang sword behind or ignored the spoils of victory; he needed to find a secret chamber underground as quickly as possible to avoid being seen by others and to buy himself some time to recover and ensure he could protect himself.
At that time, A Qi must have noticed his condition and suggested they act together, perhaps with an intention to prevent him from encountering unforeseen troubles. Lufan was aware of this.
Now that he had returned to Mr. Li's Courtyard, there was no safer place than this. As Lufan's mind relaxed, an overwhelming sense of fatigue washed over him, making him feel drowsy.
He didn't have time for more conversation with Uncle Fu; after greeting him briefly and tossing his belongings into the room, Lufan went back to his own quarters. He began circulating his Jiuyang internal energy for recovery while relaxing his body completely, sinking into the deepest sleep.
Lufan slept for a full two days and nights without waking up, which worried Fatty so much that he checked on him every hour. If it weren't for Lufan's good complexion and Uncle Fu assuring him that everything was fine, Fatty might have forced himself to wake Lufan.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Lufan slowly awakened from deep sleep, gradually opening his eyes.
After waking up, Lufan remained still, first checking his physical condition.
This period of rest had completely restored his body. Not only was his internal energy abundant and his vitality strong, but the blood within his veins surged like a rushing river, condensed to a peak.
Feeling the stirring energy within him, Lufan realized that, unknowingly, he had reached the pinnacle of Blood Refinement and was on the verge of breaking through to Fourth Rank Bone Refinement.
This left Lufan somewhat stunned.
He knew that it hadn't been long since he broke through to Blood Refinement. After transforming into True Blood, he needed time to nourish and replenish his body. Therefore, he expected it would take a while before he could break through to Fourth Rank.
Unexpectedly, after a life-and-death battle, he had forced out the potential of his physical body, pushing his strength to the peak of Third Rank, just one step away from Fourth Rank. As long as he wanted to, he could draw energy and refine his bones at any time to break through to Bone Refinement.
Indeed, Lufan could step into Fourth Rank at any moment. Since gaining profound insight, he no longer faced bottlenecks below the level of Martial Arts Master; as long as his cultivation reached the required level, breaking through would be effortless.
This meant that below Seventh Rank Marrow Refinement, Lufan only needed to temper his body. Once he accumulated enough strength, he could break through to the next level—just like now.
Although the temptation to break through was great, Lufan suppressed this impulse. He was not in peak condition yet; it was not the best time for a breakthrough.
Unlike others, every breakthrough for Lufan involved enduring a troublesome Heavenly Tribulation. The breakthrough from Third Rank to Fourth Rank was a significant leap; who knew if heaven would throw any surprises at him? If the Heavenly Tribulation were to mutate in such circumstances, recklessly breaking through could lead to disaster.
Lufan's current plan was to thoroughly study the three Secret Techniques he had just acquired. By understanding this mysterious system of Secret Techniques and enriching his martial knowledge further, he aimed to increase his accumulation once again.
Then, he adjusted his body to its optimal state, preparing to face the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation with his strongest posture and make a breakthrough!
Lufan had a premonition that this Heavenly Tribulation would be different from the past. Perhaps he could unravel part of the mystery within his body from it.
Otherwise, being unable to absorb the origin energy of heaven and earth would ultimately be a major problem. Once the Primordial Liquid was used up, any future battles would be extremely disadvantageous for him.
In this battle at the City Lord's Mansion, everything was possible because of the existence of the Primordial Liquid, which allowed Lufan to maintain high-intensity combat and grow stronger with each fight.
It was hard to imagine what level he could have fought at without having previously consumed two hundred drops of Primordial Liquid. With only the energy reserves of the Third Rank Realm, he might have been defeated in the first round against Li Zheng due to insufficient internal energy.
Therefore, it was urgent for Lufan to find a way to solve his inability to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Origin Power. In the past, it may have been impossible for him, but ever since he entered a finer state of understanding, his mind had become exceptionally sharp. He had faintly grasped some secrets regarding the existence of origin energy.
As long as he was given a little more time and made further progress in strength, he could find that opportunity to break through his limits and shatter the constraints imposed by this world, allowing him to draw energy into his body.
At that time, this world would surely appear as a whole new realm in his eyes, and his strength would likely experience another explosive growth!
While contemplating various plans in his mind, Lufan suddenly felt a rumble in his stomach—a wave of hunger washed over him, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"I don't even know how long I've been asleep. I should ask Fatty to make something to eat first," Lufan murmured as he turned over and got out of bed.
Just as he stepped out of the room, he heard Fatty's loud voice exclaiming in surprise, "Lufan, you're awake?"
