After about 15 minutes, the heat flow finally dissipated. Ye Chen felt that his body was filled with strength from the inside out. He was brimming with energy, as if he could kill a ferocious tiger with a single punch.
"Could it be that the flesh of this strange fish has the effect of strengthening one's body?" Ye Chen revealed a joyful expression as he devoured the fish tail in big mouthfuls. He only chewed three times before swallowing the fish tail.
Chi chi!
His body rapidly heated up, and sticky black impurities seeped out from his pores. A foul stench filled the air, and Ye Chen almost fainted from the suffocating smell.
"I can't take it anymore, I have to go take a bath!" Ye Chen couldn't care less about the strange fish in the river. He stood up and leaped lightly into the river.
Whoosh!
The cool river water touched his skin, and it felt extremely comfortable. All 48,000 pores on his body seemed to have opened up, greedily breathing in.
However, the owner of the river water wasn't willing.
The strange fish in the vicinity heard the noise and attacked in a frenzy.
Ye Chen laughed coldly. He took out his treasured saber and swept it horizontally, slashing out a circular arc of saber energy in the water.
One, two, three …
A total of nine strange fish were slashed into two, unable to retaliate at all.
Ye Chen threw their corpses onto the shore, one in each hand, preparing to use them as food in the future.
When the other strange fish saw how fierce Ye Chen was, they all fled like birds. It seemed that they weren't as courageous as they appeared to be.
After taking a refreshing bath, Ye Chen jumped out of the river. He subconsciously lifted his feet, and his entire body felt light and healthy. Other than that, the fish meat in his stomach had been completely digested, and he had to replenish it.
The largest of the nine strange fish was no longer than three feet. Ye Chen picked up three of them, cut their stomachs, and poured out their intestines. After washing them, he skewered them with a thin branch and roasted them over the bonfire.
The aroma filled the air!
After a while, the fish meat was cooked again.
"My strength has increased a lot now. I wonder if I can reach the divine power stage by eating fish." Strength above two thousand pounds was considered to be super strength. Some people were born with super strength when they were eight or nine years old, but some people couldn't even when they were in their twenties or thirties. This was the difference in talent. Originally, it would take Ye Chen at least a week to reach this level, and that was with the help of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. But now, he could reach his goal by eating the fish, which would save him a lot of time, so why not?
After eating the three fish, black impurities oozed out of Ye Chen's body again, but they were much less than the first time and were slightly transparent.
At the same time, Ye Chen's stomach churned with extreme pain. He hurriedly rushed to the toilet in the underground world and squatted down impatiently.
There was a continuous puffing sound, and the surroundings were filled with a foul stench. After he had completely excreted, Ye Chen did not feel too exhausted. Those were just impurities that could not be excreted from his pores. He did not want to take a second look at them.
Naked, Ye Chen poured some vanilla powder around him to cover the stench in the air, and then walked into the river.
As the black impurities were washed away, Ye Chen's skin became smooth like silk. It was tough and dense, and even swords would not be able to cut it. His tender body seemed to have been trained countless times. His muscles were well-defined, and his broad shoulders were strong.
Ye Chen calmly felt that his body was continuously absorbing Yuan Qi. Even the river could not stop it. Furthermore, the Yuan Qi was changing slightly, and its capacity had increased by more than thirty percent. It was almost automatically pouring into his body, and quickly merging with his Qi.
The Qi whirlpool in his Dantian gradually tightened, and the pressure in the center increased, as if it was turning his Qi into Zhen Qi in advance to strengthen his body.
"It seems like not only my body's quality has increased, but the speed of absorbing Yuan Qi has also increased. This is not as simple as the super strength."
That's right, Ye Chen's strength had already surpassed two thousand pounds, and was approaching three thousand pounds. In terms of pure strength, the core disciple Xu Jing was not that much stronger than Ye Chen, at most three to four thousand pounds.
…
Eating fish, practicing boxing, and training his Qi, time passed by slowly.
On this day, Ye Chen stood in front of a big grey tree.
"If I could break this tree with one punch, it would mean that my strength had reached three thousand pounds. By then, it would be easier for me to train the third level of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. Once I have mastered the third level, I would be able to use the Yuan Qi from the spirit stones to replace the natural Yuan Qi.
Ye Chen's mind was like a mirror. He had already planned out all the steps for the future.
Ha!
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen punched the big tree.
Crack!
The big tree broke instantly. The top half of the tree fell down and landed on the ground.
"Done!" Ye Chen took a deep breath, "It is even stronger than I thought. It should be three thousand five hundred pounds."
Although he did not know how much time had passed outside, Ye Chen's intuition told him that it had not been more than three days, maybe even less.
In just two to three days, he had mastered the second level of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. This horrifying speed even surprised Ye Chen himself. He was wondering how strong he could become by eating fish. Would it be more than five thousand pounds, or even ten thousand pounds?
Shaking his head, Ye Chen could not imagine it anymore.
As time went on, Ye Chen started to feel annoyed. This place was too depressing, isolated from the rest of the world. It would be fine if it was just one or two days, but to live here every day, Ye Chen suspected that he would go crazy.
Making up his mind, Ye Chen was ready to leave this place.
Looking at the river, Ye Chen planned to catch some weird fishes and put them in his storage ring before he found a way out. These fishes could easily be worth more than ten thousand silvers, especially that huge fish that was five feet long. Just its tail alone was more effective than the other small fishes, it was obvious how effective it was.
Making up his mind, Ye Chen took out his great blade and dove into the river.
The river was very deep, and it was pitch black. Ye Chen had already expected this situation, so he took out a few luminous stones and threw them into the river.
The valuable luminous stones slowly sank into the river, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the environment within a radius of ten meters.
Whoosh!
The river rippled, and the huge shadow quickly swam away.
"Where do you think you are going?"
Ye Chen gathered his Qi and threw out a blade attack.
The bright blade Qi could not even stop the river water. It was cut open and chased after the shadow like lightning. With a puff sound, the shadow froze in place.
Ye Chen was afraid that it might be a trap, so he threw out another blade Qi attack.
As expected, the huge shadow struggled for a while, and the river water became murky, making it hard for the naked eye to see clearly.
Of course, this was not a problem for Ye Chen. With his powerful soul power, Ye Chen easily caught the shadow, and with a push of his feet, he jumped up.
Breaking out of the water, Ye Chen threw the dead fish on the shore and continued to dive.
One, two … five …
Only when there were no more strange fishes in the river did Ye Chen stop.
"It's time to go back. That Red Blood Demon Beast must have gone somewhere else to hunt." Ye Chen was still a bit worried. A rank 4 beast was unimaginably powerful. Even if he had ten thousand pounds of strength, he would not dare to fight against it, unless he reached the Condensing Reality Realm.
Following the path he came from, Ye Chen carefully walked back.
From afar, there was a light coming from the huge crack in the rock mountain. Ye Chen held his breath, tightly holding his blade as he walked quietly.
