Chapter 1582: Kid, You’re Not Human!
Obviously, Jiang Feng didn’t know that Netherworld Hall had dispatched an elder just for him this time!
He had been the protector for Jing Wuming in the cave for quite a long time.
It wasn’t until nightfall that he felt Jing Wuming had finally absorbed and refined those chaotic inner strengths.
Next is the process of Jing Wuming adapting on his own; it doesn’t require much time, and he’s finally passed the dangerous period.
Jiang Feng walked out of the cave; after an entire day, he was more exhausted than practicing himself, and his stomach was empty. He casually went to the nearby mountains, caught a wild rabbit, and returned to the cave entrance to make a fire and roast it.
As soon as the plump rabbit was cooked, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the cave behind him.
Turning around, unsurprisingly, he saw the healed Jing Wuming coming out.
"Eating alone?"
Jing Wuming emerged from the cave, dissatisfied at seeing Jiang Feng busy roasting the rabbit.
Jiang Feng chuckled, tore off a rabbit leg, and tossed it to Jing Wuming.
Jing Wuming was unperturbed, directly sitting across from Jiang Feng, not picky, and began gnawing on the rabbit leg.
"You’ve refined it all clean? Able to maneuver at will and use it?" Jiang Feng also smiled, picked up the remaining rabbit, and took a bite.
Jing Wuming paused for a moment, then feigned indifference asking, "How did you think of letting that senior official transfer a hundred years of power to me, assisting my rise?"
"Is it strange?" Jiang Feng smiled, "I had you suffer such a huge loss, almost costing your life, so compensating you is only right."
"Jiang Feng, just who are you?"
Suddenly, Jing Wuming put down the rabbit leg, gazing intently at Jiang Feng.
Though he had been unconscious afterward, he still clearly remembered the fight between Jiang Feng and those four senior officials!
It was incredibly terrifying, not just reconsidering Jiang Feng, but utterly unable to accept it!
One person completely taking down four Spirit Void Realm senior officials, even intimidating one into begging for mercy!
If this spreads, it’s enough to shock the entire Chinese Martial Arts World!
"I am who I am, why ask such a question?" Jiang Feng’s expression was playful.
"I’ve never seen someone as terrifying as you, utterly beyond ordinary understanding! It’s laughable that Luu Fengxian once claimed to be the top young expert in Jiangdong; compared to you, he’s not even an ant. I bet those women of yours don’t know your true strength!" Jing Wuming remarked with deep emotion.
"You’re off topic." Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile, "Can you now assess what realm you’ve risen to after absorbing Ran Shanlong’s power?"
"I don’t know!"
Jing Wuming also shook his head, "I’ve never reached such a realm before, it doesn’t even feel like me; I completely can’t grasp myself."
"Then hurry up and eat, after we’ll spar a bit and I can figure it out." Jiang Feng suggested with a smile.
Then, both devoured the rabbit meat ravenously, took to an open area outside the cave, and faced each other at ten meters apart.
"Strike at me, remember to use your full strength, no holding back at all." Jiang Feng beckoned to Jing Wuming.
Jing Wuming certainly knew he had to go all out.
He was not worried about hurting Jiang Feng, even Ji Bu, such a presence, was brutally taken down by Jiang Feng, let alone him?
Instantly, Jing Wuming activated the unfamiliar inner strength with a loud shout, shaking the surroundings, seizing the initiative!
With a sudden stomp, in an instant he appeared before Jiang Feng, slicing with a palm as if a giant sword were slashing through the sky, crashing down towards Jiang Feng!
Simultaneously, Jing Wuming’s Qi-Blood and inner strength frantically surged toward the striking palm, causing the palm’s inner strength to densely form, directly slicing through the air, creating terrifying gusts transformed into Sword Qi, aggressively pushing toward Jiang Feng!
Before the hand sword arrived, the Sword Qi reached ahead!
This attack with the hand sword was exceptionally powerful, compared to his previous realm, truly an earth-shattering transformation!
However, facing such a fearsome strike from Jing Wuming, Jiang Feng simply smiled lightly, saying, "Not bad indeed!"
Then, he extended his hand casually and intercepted Jing Wuming’s sword-slaying hand, without moving his body, scattered Jing Wuming’s Sword Qi.
Jing Wuming’s heart thumped wildly!
Spectating was one thing, but sparring himself was another matter!
Although he was mentally prepared, failing to harm Jiang Feng with a full-force strike was still a shock!
He understood how Ji Bu and the others met their ends!
"It’s just..."
Jing Wuming sulkily withdrew his palm and body, "Can’t fight you, it’s not even close; you haven’t exerted any force, yet I’m already beaten."
Jiang Feng laughed heartily, "You’re not bad either, the past is different now, this time you also benefited from the mishap."
"Have you determined what realm I am?" Jing Wuming immediately inquired.
"Yes, Spirit Void Realm. Just stepping into the threshold of Spirit Void." Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
Jing Wuming indeed hadn’t disappointed him.
You must understand, it’s not simply absorbing the power of a certain realm to reach that realm.
This is related to one’s own foundation, talent, conversion, application, and comprehension!
Ran Shanlong was originally Spirit Void Fourth Level, Jing Wuming absorbed a century of his power and managed to step into Spirit Void, which is already commendable!
Compared to before, it’s not just rapid progress but an outright transformation!
Upon hearing his current power level, Jing Wuming felt both extremely shocked and incredulous!
Previously, he had not even reached Grandmaster or Legendary, let alone Human King or Absolute Peak.
But now, he had directly leapt over so many levels into Spirit Void?!
In all of Jiangdong, he suddenly became one of the unrivaled existences!
"Are you sure? Am I really Spirit Void?" Jing Wuming swallowed dryly, uncertainly asking.
"My judgment won’t be false; you’re only stronger, not weaker." Jiang Feng smiled, "Alright, now when I leave Binhai, I can be at ease. The usual petty scoundrels are no match for you, so be diligent in safeguarding those who need protection."
Jing Wuming naturally understood Jiang Feng’s intentions, besides solemnly agreeing, he said nothing else!
What Jiang Feng did was akin to granting him rebirth, whatever he did for Jiang Feng was only right, a gratitude he could never repay!
"Let’s go!"
Seeing that it was late, Jiang Feng knew he should head back, another whole day out and he was bound to face questioning.
Yet just then, his phone rang again, and upon checking, it was a call from Chen Longxiang.
"Kid, you’re something else!"
Chen Longxiang sternly remarked upon answering, "You actually did it, taking down those four senior officials from Netherworld Hall all by yourself?"
"However, don’t celebrate too soon, you’ve got bigger trouble coming..."
