Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 263: Chapter 272: A Distance of 90 Meters

The sound of a dragon’s roar in the depths of Chu Linfeng’s heart startled him. Could his bloodline be awakening? He felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

A red light appeared on him but quickly vanished without a trace. Chu Linfeng felt something emerging from his skin, or perhaps something was growing.

The gravity in the chamber seemed to lighten greatly; this phenomenon certainly had something to do with the dragon’s roar within him.

Suddenly, he witnessed something strange: fish-scale-like armor appeared on the back of his hand, faintly gleaming with a subtle red glow under the dim light.

Instantly, he felt an immensely powerful force within him, coursing through his body’s meridians, which emitted crackling sounds.

Seeing the scales on his hand and the strange phenomena within him, Chu Linfeng had an ominous premonition — he might experience a breakthrough to the Fourth Layer of the Star Body within this chamber.

If that’s truly the case, he might be in danger. Could this be the unexpected gain that Sword Spirit Yue’er mentioned?

If this is the kind of gain, it’s overwhelming, a situation where neither place nor time suits him.

”Sister Yue’Er, do I have the potential to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Star Body?” Chu Linfeng hurriedly asked, though he kept walking.

”You’re not yet in a condition to breakthrough. The phenomena in your body are due to the bloodline power, which will vanish soon. Keep moving forward during this period.”

”Let the gravitational pressure harmonize the unwittingly awakened strand of bloodline power; otherwise, there’s a risk of meridian rupture. Try circulating this strand within your body slowly, perhaps it might yield some gain,” the Sword Spirit said.

After hearing this, Chu Linfeng felt relieved. As long as he didn’t break through to the Fourth Layer here, he’d be fine. By absorbing the internal energy slowly, the symptoms would disappear.

As he walked, he diverted the energy toward the Dantian, although his movement was slow, he rapidly surpassed people in the same position by several meters.

Seeing Chu Linfeng approaching the ninety-meter mark, the person beside him was too shocked to speak. It was his limit to reach here.

This was due to having practiced an Earth Tier Body Cultivation Martial Skill, combined with his inherent Second Layer strength in the Celestial Martial Realm, yet he couldn’t believe there was someone even more remarkable, finding it incredible.

Chu Linfeng was fully engrossed in circulating the energy within his body, seemingly unaffected by the pain of the gravitational oppression. By the end of the time limit, he had unknowingly reached the ninety-meter mark.

The gravitational force vanished without a trace, and most of the energy in his body was adjusted to the Dantian, only a small portion remained in the meridians.

However, even this small portion of energy made Chu Linfeng feel as if his meridians were about to break, causing him to cry out in pain.

”Lin Feng, it’s time to leave. If you stay here, the next group will come, and you’ll suffer the gravitational pressure again, which would be dangerous,” the Sword Spirit immediately said.

Chu Linfeng understood the Sword Spirit’s meaning, and had to slowly head back, stepping over many bodies along the way. Ninety meters seemed like nine hundred meters to him; while the surviving ones left, only he was left.

Gradually, he felt the pain in his meridians ease greatly. Through the dim light, he saw the scales on his arm had disappeared, and he quickly charged out.

Wei Qun outside was anxiously waiting for Chu Linfeng’s appearance, yet after waiting so long, he didn’t see a trace, fearing he might have met his end.

Sorrowful tears rolled uncontrollably down his tiger eyes. ”Brother Long, didn’t you tell me not to be reckless? Why are you reckless yourself? Although we haven’t known each other for long, you treat me like family. You can’t just leave like this.”

Wei Qun stood at the chamber door, speaking to himself, his grief conspicuous.

”I’m not dead, so why are you crying? Do you wish I’d snuff it in there?” Chu Linfeng’s voice reached Wei Qun’s ears.

Wei Qun immediately perked up upon hearing it, looking up to see Chu Linfeng smiling as he emerged from the chamber door. Wei Qun couldn’t help but give him a bear hug, exclaiming, ”You’re really not dead! You’re really not dead!”

”Let go, I don’t swing that way,” Chu Linfeng immediately said.

Wei Qun released Chu Linfeng, saying, ”Brother Long, why did you come out so late, you scared me. Where did you reach?”

”You’ll find out soon enough, let’s go!” Chu Linfeng said.

After walking dozens of meters, a voice rang out, ”Kid, you’ve got guts, reaching that place; I’m impressed! Hope you perform the same in the second trial!”

Chu Linfeng saw this person was the one who had been next to him, surprisingly recognizing him at once. ”I was just lucky. Advancing in the next trial would be good enough.”

At this moment, Grand General Luo Ping’s voice echoed in the air, ”The first place in the seventh group reached the ninety-meter mark. The remaining groups must surpass ninety meters for first place. Rich rewards await you.”

The ninety-meter distance left everyone dumbfounded. They knew well beyond forty meters, every step felt like another hundred pounds of weight was added.

As one progressed further, the added weight increased, reaching eighty meters, it was at least three hundred to five hundred pounds per step, and someone actually reached ninety meters, which surpassed a ten-thousand-pound force, an exceptionally terrifying feat.

”Brother Long, could this person be you?” Wei Qun looked at Chu Linfeng full of doubt.

His excitement made his voice loud, instantly attracting many people’s attention and curious glances at Chu Linfeng. Some even began discussing the truth of this news.

Chu Linfeng shot Wei Qun a glance, ”How could it be me? At sixty meters, I was struggling to move. Don’t let people misunderstand, I don’t want to be laughed at.”

His words immediately spread, and everyone felt it was impossible for him to have done it, based on his age and expression upon emerging, it couldn’t be him.

”Brother Long, Brother Wei, you’re unharmed, that’s great.” At this point, Luo Er Mu’s voice rang out.

Chu Linfeng and Wei Qun looked at each other, seeing this guy approach them with a smile, asking, ”How far did you go?”

”Fifty meters!” Wei Qun said, a bit embarrassed.

”I reached sixty meters; pretty impressive, right? How far did you go?” Chu Linfeng smiled, sure this guy went beyond sixty meters.

”I didn’t go far; the gravity inside was indeed intense. I stopped at seventy-five meters, couldn’t move further, but you did better, a surprise?” Luo Er Mu smiled.

”Seventy-five meters? Just you?” Wei Qun felt the world shifted in that instant...
