“Feng Shao, I'm sorry, I don't know.” After hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Zhong quickly stopped what he was doing. He meant well, but he didn't expect his good intentions to almost lead to trouble.
“No one can get close to them. I'll keep an eye on this area; you all watch the Surroundings. Make sure no one gets in.” Lin Feng ignored Li Zhong's apology and directly issued orders to everyone.
It wasn't that Lin Feng didn't want to respond; rather, his mind was entirely focused on the two individuals known as “Steel,” leaving him no time to consider anything else. He could only give simple and decisive commands.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, everyone understood that they couldn't let anyone, including themselves, approach “Steel.” They all agreed and began to watch different directions to see if anyone was coming.
Lin Feng kept a close watch on the two “Steel” individuals, hoping they could endure a bit longer. This would mean their potential was being unlocked further. However, he also feared they might exceed the limit of what their bodies could handle because once they crossed that threshold, both would be in danger.
It's important to note that “Forbidden Spring” merely provides potential excavation; more accurately, it serves as a catalyst for unlocking potential. Although the dosage of “Forbidden Spring” may vary, the effects produced by the same dosage can differ significantly among individuals with different tolerances.
Moreover, Lin Feng's ability was limited to controlling whether the “Forbidden Spring” within their bodies exhibited its medicinal properties. This was only achievable with the guidance and assistance of Tesla.
In other words, Lin Feng only had the ability to make the effects of “Forbidden Spring” dissipate within an appropriate time frame.
This method greatly reduced the life-threatening risks for those taking the medicine. However, once activated, it immediately halted any further unlocking of potential from the “Forbidden Spring.” Once it stopped, there would be no chance for continuation.
Thus, with Lin Feng present, although he could ensure the safety of the two “Steel” individuals, if they couldn't hold out during the process, they would have no opportunity to enhance their physical cultivation through “Forbidden Spring” for the next ten years.
This was where Lin Feng felt conflicted; he wanted them to endure longer but also didn't want them to be in danger. It was truly frustrating.
Although it seemed rushed, this was Lin Feng's first time helping someone take “Forbidden Spring.” Wasn't it a lack of experience? Given how composed he managed to remain under pressure, Lin Feng thought he did quite well. Next time he faced such an opportunity, he believed he wouldn't react in this way again.
As time passed for Lin Feng, half an hour had already gone by. The changes in the two individuals known as “Steel” were becoming increasingly intense. Yet both were gritting their teeth; the thick branches they had been biting down on were nearly chewed through.
Originally, these two were tough and resilient; they usually had a high tolerance for pain and could endure typical discomfort without making a sound. However, at this moment, they were clenching their jaws tightly as if they had just been pulled from boiling water—having just sweated profusely only to have it evaporate quickly—demonstrating how unbearable their situation was.
Reflecting on his own experience, Lin Feng recalled that he had taken ten drops of “Forbidden Spring” all at once back then. He didn't even know how he managed to get through it.
But if given another chance, Lin Feng would still choose to swallow ten drops at once because when pain reached a numb level, perhaps it wouldn't hurt as much anymore.
Of course, this is just self-comforting talk; the moment one truly chooses to endure pain is when a person's courage is most tested.
Sometimes, the experience is not as difficult as imagined.
During the process of experiencing something, one only sees the immediate obstacles and does not realize how many more challenges await. At that moment, it becomes a matter of gritting one's teeth and pushing through. If one considers the worst-case scenario before undertaking a task, it may lead to hesitation out of fear of that so-called greatest difficulty.
However, planning thoroughly and considering the worst-case scenario before taking action can sometimes be beneficial. At least it shows an understanding of leaving oneself an escape route, which is a rational approach.
Determining when to act—whether to be rational or impulsive—might be one of life's great lessons; only those who have experienced it can speak on it.
That was a bit profound and perhaps sounds pretentious. Hehe, let's get back to the main topic.
In Lin Feng's conflicted emotions, Steel and her partner entered the most critical moment. Next, it would depend on whether they could withstand the final challenge. If they could hold on, a drop of Forbidden Spring would be perfectly utilized. Although their physical transformation was not as thorough as Lin Feng's, their bodies were inherently strong. Lin Feng believed there would definitely be qualitative changes as planned.
An hour had passed since the beginning, yet none of them had relaxed; they remained focused on their respective directions. They all understood that this was the crucial moment; they could not afford to falter at such a critical time.
"Hold on..." Lin Feng couldn't help but shout in her heart while also preparing to stop the effects of Forbidden Spring at any moment.
At this point, it was a test of willpower for Steel and her partner, and it was also when things were most likely to go wrong. Lin Feng was confident that Steel and her partner could make it this far, but what would happen next was truly unpredictable.
Forbidden Spring was too overpowering, with too many variables.
"Ah, ah..." Two cries echoed from Steel and her partner simultaneously. At the same time, the thick branches in their mouths snapped in half, clearly bitten off by them.
Afterward, both collapsed onto the ground, unable to move as if they were dead.
However, Lin Feng knew they were not dead; they still had breath, and their vitality was recovering.
In other words, they had perfectly endured.
It wasn't easy; Lin Feng genuinely admired them. Initially, she had relied on her Mental Power to get through. They had managed solely on their own strength; such endurance was truly commendable.
Of course, Lin Feng had taken the maximum dosage at the beginning, and the pain he endured was beyond what they could compare.
In any case, their performance was already quite impressive; although they were slightly inferior to Lin Feng, they should be more than sufficient compared to others.
"What's going on? Feng Shao, why do they seem like they're dead?" Wolf King was the first to notice the condition of Steel and his companion, shouting loudly with a tone full of sorrow.
Although the two from Steel were his subordinates, they had followed him since childhood and were like children he had raised. Being orphans, Wolf King's feelings for them were no less than that of a father for his sons.
"Everyone come over here. Also, Li Zhong, go find some coats and thick blankets," Lin Feng said to ease Wolf King's worries.
Upon receiving Lin Feng's order, Li Zhong went inside with Lao Jiang to fetch blankets, while Wolf King rushed over, looking around as if checking for something missing.
Seeing this made Lin Feng a bit envious; he had never met his father in either his past or present life and had never experienced a father's love. If it weren't for the affection of his Foster Mother, he might not have known maternal love at all.
"Don't worry, Wolf King, they haven't lost anything; in fact, they've gained something," Lin Feng smiled and reassured him. Although he had never received paternal love, he understood a father's concern for his son.
"Feng Shao, what do you mean? What have they gained?" Wolf King was unsure about the condition of Steel and his companion—whether they had succeeded or failed—only knowing that they were still alive.
"Hehe, what they've gained is called strength," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Oh, so that means they succeeded? Feng Shao." At first, Wolf King was entirely focused on the two from Steel, but once he realized what was happening, he expressed his surprise joyfully.
"Of course. Let them rest for a day without disturbing them. When they wake up naturally, you'll see the difference in them," Lin Feng instructed without holding back any secrets.
"Yes, I will definitely ensure no one disturbs them. You can rest assured, Feng Shao." Upon hearing this, Wolf King immediately promised.
"Hehe... just make sure you're at ease," Lin Feng joked, clearly seeing the bond between Wolf King and the two from Steel, which was stronger than that of a father and son.
"Hehe... sorry to make you laugh, Feng Shao." Understanding what Lin Feng meant, a weight lifted off Wolf King's heart as he laughed in response.
"By the way, Feng Shao, there's something I'm unsure whether to mention or not." After pondering for a moment, Wolf King finally made up his mind to ask.
"Don't... don't try that with me. I'm telling you, if you say something you shouldn't, I won't let you off," Lin Feng said with a stern expression, pretending to be serious.
"But... oh, I understand," Wolf King said, seeing Lin Feng's serious face and dared not to speak further.
It's quite rare for the leader of the Wolf Gang to be subdued by a single remark from Lin Feng.
"Alright, enough joking around. Just tell me what you have to say; I don't play these games," Lin Feng said, realizing he had gone too far with the jokes.
"Sigh... Feng Shao, this isn't the time for jokes. I just wanted to ask if your secret method to enhance strength has any side effects?" Wolf King asked, feeling a bit confused about which of Lin Feng's words were true and which were not, but still pressed on with his question.
Wolf King regarded Steel and the others like sons, so naturally, he was concerned about this issue. For instance, some secret methods may enhance strength but at the cost of one's lifespan, which is quite common.
"Don't worry; my secret method is completely natural and healthy; it's a green method," Lin Feng replied, realizing that this was the concern and began joking again, as if promoting an advertisement.
If Lin Feng were indeed advertising, it would be one of those limited offers—not everyone could enjoy Forbidden Spring.
Firstly, Lin Feng generally wouldn't allow ordinary people to use it; in more profound terms, they could be considered "fated individuals." Secondly, even if an ordinary person could use it, whether they could withstand it remained uncertain.
In summary, very few people could take Forbidden Spring.
