Chapter 174: Breakthrough!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　Ma Dao Zhu broke out in a cold sweat as he endured the gazes of the group. Being scrutinized by such a large number of Evolved Jing masters was quite a pressurizing experience. Furthermore, he had to attempt to appear innocent before them. After all, he couldn’t just tell them that the person they were chasing to kill was a disciple from Xing Yi Sect, right?

　　By now, the two Wang sisters had also arrived at the scene. As for Bei Feng, they had set him down under a tree nearby.

　　“Hmph, who knows whether you’ve hidden the Reishi King away or not?!”

　　A burly-looking Evolved Jing master stepped forward and pointed an accusing finger at Ma Dao Zhu.

　　“Senior, this little one is not lying to you! That person I told you about really stuffed the Reishi King into his mouth and jumped off the cliff into the river!”

　　Ma Dao Zhu’s expression was extremely honest and he was on the verge of tears. Why won’t those people believe him? He was really not lying at all!

　　“Cough, cough!”

　　The tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by a series of rough coughing noises. Bei Feng opened his eyes slowly and used the tree to support himself as he stood up.

　　“It’s him! That’s the person who obtained the Reishi King!”

　　Ma Dao Zhu looked like he had seen a ghost as he stared slack-jawed at Bei Feng for a short moment before shrieking aloud!

　　“Eh?!”

　　The entire group of Evolved Jing masters looked over in shock before rushing over to surround Bei Feng. At the same time, they did not forget to grab Ma Dao Zhu, preventing him from escaping.

　　“Where’s the Reishi King? Take it out immediately!”

　　Ma Dao Zhu hollered with indignation as soon as he saw Bei Feng. He absolutely loathed this fellow to death in his heart! If he’d given him the Reishi King obediently in the first place, why would there be so much trouble?!

　　“This person was saved by our family’s young miss! Thus, the Reishi King should belong to our Northwestern Wang Clan!”

　　Qian Tang reacted quickly. Who would have thought that the person the second young miss saved actually had the Reishi King on him!

　　In that instant, the other four Evolved Jing masters behind Qian Tang also stood out and revolved their blood and Qi fearlessly. These four did not seem to be afraid of the crowd of Evolved Jing masters at all!

　　“What? Even the Northwestern Wang Clan is here!”

　　Someone exclaimed with furrowed brows. This matter had just become a lot more complicated.

　　The Northwestern Wang Clan was a top-tier large clan. They had numerous experts in every generation, and had quite a high level of influence in both the army and the government. Most importantly, their strength was deep beyond measure. According to rumors, they had at least three esteemed Xiantian masters among their strength!

　　For the past hundreds of years, their clan had remained the absolute overlord within the entire northwestern part of the country! Their position was so strong that they were not even affected at all during the tumultuous period back then!

　　However, this matter concerned their opportunity for breaking through to Xiantian realm! It was a chance that could only be found by luck, and not by searching for it! If they missed this chance, it would be impossible to tell if a chance like that would ever appear again! None of the martial practitioners spoke a word, but an invisible aura of valiant blood and Qi roiled silently as everyone prepared for battle.

　　Qian Tang and the rest knotted their eyebrows as they readied themselves. This matter had become rather troublesome, even for them. These Evolved Jing masters were not a bunch of virtuous people. Once they were forced into a corner, even Northwest’s Wang Clan’s name would not be able to force them off!

　　“Let me propose something. We’ll have a round of competition to determine the eight strongest experts. But since this man was saved by my younger sister, my Northwestern Wang Clan must have two of the eight spots!”

　　Just as the atmosphere was becoming more volatile and the looks the crowd was giving the Northwestern Wang Clan was growing more hostile, Wang Yudie suddenly stood out and said.

　　“Also, if anyone dares to violate the rules, even if you become an esteemed Xiantian master, my Wang Clan will spare no efforts to hunt you down to the death!”

　　Wang Yudie surveyed the crowd and continued. Her expression was extremely cold, causing her to look like a celestial goddess from the palace of the moon! Her voice was icy and ethereal, as if it had come from out of this world, clearly ringing out in the small clearing!

　　That was the demeanor and natural arrogance accumulated through a large number of years lording over the entire northwest region of China! Even an esteemed Xiantian master would not dare to offend the Wang Clan for no good reason!

　　“I’m not dead yet? Looks like it’s this Northwestern Wang Clan who had saved me…” Bei Feng murmured to himself as he looked around in a confused manner. The conversation around him had also naturally been heard loud and clear by him.

　　‘However, why is it the two of them?’

　　Seeing the beautiful and domineering Wang Yudie standing in the middle of the circle, Bei Feng was slightly taken aback. Aren’t these two girls some of the earliest customers who ate at his restaurant?

　　‘But, am I being treated as a meek lamb waiting to be slaughtered by anyone right now?’ The corners of Bei Feng’s mouth curled up slightly as he listened to their ridiculous conversation.

　　“Kacha!”

　　His thoughts had barely sunk in when a crisp crackling sound resounded within Bei Feng’s body.

　　“Hong!”

　　A sound like mountains splitting and earth cracking rang out in Bei Feng’s head as the sealed blood and Qi within his body surged past their restrictions and flowed unhindered through his body!

　　The residue medicinal energy from the Reishi King was swept along with the sudden rush of blood and Qi to every part of Bei Feng’s body!

　　Once the powerful vitality from the Reishi King was stimulated, the numerous hidden injuries within his body began to heal with crazy speed! All the wounds on his body, both new and old, healed at an accelerated rate, countless times faster than normal!

　　‘This huge amount of medicinal power is from the Green Lingzhi? Looks like I’d swallowed it unknowingly when I fell unconscious!’

　　Bei Feng sensed the changes in his body silently. The bountiful vitality from the Reishi King had cleared up all the hidden injuries in his body in one fell swoop. Furthermore, its powerful life force had also been merged perfectly into all his cells. In the future, Bei Feng’s recovery speed from wounds would be greatly enhanced!

　　“What’s going on?!”

　　The moment Bei Feng’s blood and Qi burst forth, an incomparably powerful aura unseen by the eyes of normal people suddenly arose, shooting into the sky in the perception of the Evolved Jing masters!

　　Everyone stopped their discussions and looked towards where Bei Feng was.

　　From the perception of the Evolved Jing masters, the thick aura of blood and Qi was still growing bigger and bigger!

　　Bei Feng’s face remained expressionless as he allowed the domineering blood and Qi to circulate without attempting to control it. The bountiful blood and Qi which had been repressed within him was rushing about wantonly within his veins!

　　At this time, the small increase in his physique’s blood and Qi which he had trained after sealing his blood and Qi was assimilating perfectly with his original, repressed blood and Qi. At this point, his blood and Qi which was originally at the peak of 1 star finally broke through its limits!

　　All the blood and Qi suddenly began to flow towards his right arm, where a physical barrier undiscovered by modern science existed!

　　The barrier was like a sturdy wall, blocking the surging tide of blood and Qi!

　　“Dang!”

　　A formless clashing sound rang out from Bei Feng’s body, spreading outwards at a crazy speed in all directions!

　　All the Evolved Jing masters at the scene felt their blood and Qi rumble violently as the formless wave passed through their bodies. Everyone took one horrified look at Bei Feng and immediately shot backwards away from him!

　　“Big Sister, what’s wrong with this person?!”

　　Wang Yuyan looked at Bei Feng curiously as she tugged at Wang Yudie’s sleeves.

　　“I don’t know… but one thing for sure is that we’ve all misjudged him!”

　　Wang Yudie shook her head and replied lightly as she turned her eyes onto Bei Feng as well.

　　Clash after clash, the incomparably thick barrier began to break down slowly. All this was a natural reaction by Bei Feng’s body, and he had no way of controlling it!

　　Just like how water would naturally overflow if a cup was filled with more water than it could hold, this was a result of his blood and Qi overflowing!

　　“Hong!”

　　With a final clash, the barrier which was filled with cracks finally burst apart!

　　After breaking past the barrier, the huge amount of blood and Qi surged in and filled up a large space which had been opened up in his body with the breaking of the barrier!

　　One must know, that the human body was akin to a small universe, and held infinite potential!

　　It was filled with countless secrets which were hidden under numerous locks. Once one manages to unlock its secrets, they will obtain strength far beyond normal people’s!

　　Bei Feng’s clothes fluttered violently even though there was no wind. A loud whooshing sound could be heard emanating from his body, as a faint green light spread through him, covering him like a cocoon.

　　Within the cocoon of light, his skin had become like top-grade sheep-fat white jade, and all his scars disappeared without a trace!

　　His hair grew rapidly at a visible rate, reaching his waist quickly. Even his hair roots were glistening and translucent!

　　Although the entire process took a long time to describe, it’d all happened within two-three minutes. Bei Feng had already finished his transformation and stepped into 2 stars physique level!

　　From the perspective of all the Evolved Jing masters nearby, Bei Feng’s blood and Qi had suddenly transformed in a qualitative manner, completely stepping into a new level! His entire person was like a raging furnace, radiating waves of tyrannical heat!

　　At this moment Bei Feng was the only person standing at the middle of the clearing, at the heart of the crowd!
