Chapter 175: Hit Me Hard!

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Before Mo Luo Dan could even marvel, he saw a sweat-drenched Xu Fan suddenly take a deep leap and fly above an ancient well, then with a mundane sound, plunged into it.

The well was filled with a steady stream of water-attribute Spiritual Energy that could restrain the overbearing nature of the Pei Yuan Pill. Xu Fan, realizing that his body could no longer withstand the extremely yang and rigid nature of the pill and was about to spontaneously combust where he stood, finally thought of this method and leaped into the well of Lock Dragon.

After entering the Lock Dragon Well, Xu Fan indeed felt a wave of coolness throughout his body, as the well contained a large amount of water-attribute Spiritual Energy, which significantly soothed the burning sensation on his skin.

Xu Fan began to utilize the Soul Siphoning Technique once again inside the well, frantically absorbing the water-attribute Spiritual Energy within it.

As the water-attribute Spiritual Energy entered his body, it was like a tranquil stream following behind the fiery river of magma transformed by the elixirs, meticulously repairing the minor damages to Xu Fan’s meridians caused by the potent nature of the pills.

If an ordinary person were to absorb both fire-attribute and water-attribute Spiritual Energy into their body at the same time, that person would probably explode and die before they could even speak. In the Cultivation World, it is often said that water and fire are incompatible; the Spiritual Energies of water and fire are naturally difficult to coexist within a human body—once they meet, they will uncontrollably battle fiercely.

But Xu Fan was not an ordinary person. Although he was just an entry-level martial artist in the Qi Cultivation Stage, in his previous life, his cultivation was one of the most top-notch existences throughout the entire universe. His understanding of Spiritual Energy was simply beyond what an ordinary cultivator could achieve.

Hence, while other martial artists could rely on their strong bodies to fight and brawl, Xu Fan was able to transform Spiritual Energy into countless uses: he could ignite flames to refine elixirs, turn it into cold Qi to slow things down, and even perform the Air Control Technique.

These methods of utilizing Spiritual Energy, without a few hundred years of cultivation, how could an ordinary martial artist comprehend them? But to Xu Fan, they were as simple as breathing and had become an instinct within his body.

Staying within the Zhen Long Jing, Xu Fan controlled the water-attribute Spiritual Energy with exquisite perfection. Although his body contained both water and fire attributes of Spiritual Energy, the water-attribute within him was tightly controlled by Xu Fan without touching the fire-attribute heat flow formed by the pill’s power. Since the two attributes did not interact, there was no fight erupting within his body.

Xu Fan stayed in the well for a full three hours before he completely refined all the medicinal properties of the Pei Yuan Pill. After the refinement, not only did Xu Fan absorb all the medicinal properties of the elixir, but he also fortuitously absorbed a portion of the water-attribute Spiritual Energy within his body, making his skin even more supple and flawless than a baby’s.

After absorbing the medicinal power, Xu Fan released his Divine Sense to explore inside the well. His Divine Sense extended over thirty meters, and even at its maximum, he could not probe the bottom of the well.

The depth of this well was absolutely beyond imagination, and the chain at the bottom was firmly fixed into the well wall, stretching into the dark abyss, its length unknown.

Relying on his own intuition, Xu Fan was certain that there was definitely something hidden inside the well and that it was somewhat related to the rumors of Yulong Mountain. However, Xu Fan also felt that with his current strength, there was no way to delve deeper to investigate. He had to temporarily give up and wait until his strength improved in the future before coming back to challenge the bottom of the well.

Regathering his thoughts, Xu Fan no longer hesitated. With a leap from inside the well, he shot up from the ground and quickly emerged from the well’s opening, landing on the bluestone slabs of the Yulong courtyard.

By this time, Mo Luo Dan had also completed his healing, and watching Xu Fan emerge from the well with a trail of water droplets, a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, by then, Xu Fan had completely absorbed the medicinal properties of the purple elixir, and it was likely that his body was now not far from being Vajra Indestructible.

Xu Fan stood on the ground, shook off the water droplets vigorously, activated his Spiritual Energy, and instantly dried his drenched clothes.

Seeing that Mo Luo Dan had also finished healing and recovered his strength, Xu Fan beckoned to Mo Luo Dan and said, “Now, hit me with your strongest attack!”

Mo Luo Dan was a bit stunned upon hearing Xu Fan’s words. Although he had regained his strength, Xu Fan was now his master. To strike his superior, wasn’t that seeking death?

Xu Fan noticed Mo Luo Dan’s hesitation and urged him, “Just do what I tell you to, and unconditionally obey the order!”

“Very well! Then please forgive Mo Luo Dan’s impudence, Master!” After saying that, Mo Luo Dan raised his right palm fiercely and began the initial stance of the Great Vajra Hand Seal on the spot.

Soon, Mo Luo Dan’s palm was enveloped in a dense layer of golden Qi Force, which looked incredibly striking, as if it were the hand of the Vajra Buddha from a temple.

“Master, please be careful!” Mo Luo Dan roared, his body shot up swiftly, soaring more than ten meters into the air, then, with the accelerating force of gravity, chopped down viciously towards Xu Fan with his palm.

Mo Luo Dan’s palm created a blaze of fire from the friction with the air, and now, enveloped in golden Qi Force and burning with red flames, it seemed to possess the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Different from the Great Vajra Hand Seal he had used during their last exchange, this time, Mo Luo Dan’s Vajra Hand Seal was launched after accumulating Qi Force in place for a full ten seconds.

This attack could definitely be considered Mo Luo Dan’s strongest attack.

Since Xu Fan had commanded Mo Luo Dan to use his strongest attack, Mo Luo Dan obediently unleashed his most formidable strike.

Xu Fan stood in place, facing the super-strong golden palm that Mo Luo Dan was raining down from the sky, not dodging or avoiding, he stood calmly and composed.

“Could it be that Master plans to endure my palm strike with his body?” Mo Luo Dan, in mid-air, had already slapped down and it was too late to hold back, but Xu Fan stood there motionless, clearly letting Mo Luo Dan strike, and even Mo Luo Dan himself was a bit baffled.

“No matter what, if I really injure Master, then I will take my own life right here and be buried with Master,” thought Mo Luo Dan, and then, the golden palm shadow bombarded Xu Fan’s body.

“Clang! Clang!” A harsh clanging sound, like metal on metal, rang out from Xu Fan’s body.

The instant Mo Luo Dan’s Great Vajra Hand Seal hit Xu Fan, his body instantly turned as hard as steel. Mo Luo Dan’s palm strike, powerful enough to crush stones, landed on Xu Fan’s chest but failed to inflict any substantial damage on Xu Fan.

“Bang!” Mo Luo Dan’s body was rapidly flung backward and crashed onto the ground with a thud.

Though Xu Fan had not made a move, the rebound force from his body was still so strong that it flung Mo Luo Dan quite a distance away, while Xu Fan himself merely trembled slightly before returning to normal.

“What a formidable defense!” Mo Luo Dan, having landed on the ground, exclaimed sincerely towards Xu Fan.
