The strength of the body determined the absorption speed.
It wasn't about the level of strength.
Lin Feng didn't know that if a level-4 Star Sea State martial artist cultivated like him, their absorption speed would probably be less than a quarter of his.
Dual cultivation made Lin Feng's body stronger than ordinary people.
A level-4 Star Sea State body was comparable to a level-6 Star Sea State body. It not only allowed him to unleash his combat power to the extreme, but the absorption of star power was also quite impressive.
"As expected, the increase in star stones improves the body much more than the increase in star power."
"It's almost twice as much!"
Lin Feng murmured as his eyes lit up.
As he kept absorbing star stones, he naturally knew the improvement of his body like the back of his hand.
It was ingrained in his heart!
"This is good. The stronger the body, the stronger my combat power!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
His star level had just reached level four. Even if he absorbed star stones, he was still far from breaking through.
However, in terms of strength, from level-4 to level-5, it was only the last one-third of the way.
If he cultivated normally, the speed would naturally be slow.
But now, after absorbing star stones, his body's improvement speed was terrifying!
It was twice as fast as when he was in the cultivation realm!
The breakthrough was just around the corner!
…
Fang Estate.
"Dad, the Lu family has started to move." Fang Ni's eyes flashed.
"Lu Zhen, this old fox, can't hold it in." Fang Tiansheng laughed. "Ni 'er, we guessed right. Lin Wen must've killed the only son of the Lu family in the Green Smoke Secret Realm. Otherwise, this old fox wouldn't have lost his mind in anger. "
"Hmph, he deserves it!" Fang Ni scolded coldly. "Third brother's death can finally be avenged."
"The Fang family kicked an iron plate this time." Fang Tiansheng said indifferently, "Lu Zhen probably didn't expect Lin Wen and Qin Qianqian to be so close."
"All the warriors of the Lyu family who entered the Green Smoke Mystery Domain will be wiped out. Even someone as strong as Lie Hu will not be able to escape death." Fang Ni smiled. "Lin Wen and Qin Qianqian don't have this strength alone, but the Qin family is different. The Qin Chamber of Commerce covers the entire Yanling Estate. Although the Qin family keeps a low profile, their strength is unfathomable."
"This is a great opportunity for us." Fang Tiansheng's eyes were sharp.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Fang Ni asked.
"Inform Lin Wen that after the battle in the Green Smoke Secret Realm, Ni 'er, you should have gained his trust." Fang Tiansheng said with a serious face, "It's a win-win situation. If we win Lin Wen over, it's the same as winning over Qin Qianqian. By that time, with the Qin Chamber of Commerce as our backing, the Fang family will be in trouble!"
"Yes, Father!" Fang Ni replied.
… …
In Greensmoke City, both open and covert struggles began to intensify.
The Fang Clan and the Lu Clan were both moving in silence.
Many allied powers were roped in, and a storm was about to break out in Greensmoke City.
However, the culprit was still cultivating in seclusion.
"Hua! Hua!"
Lin Feng crazily absorbed the Star Stones. Once he entered into a state of cultivation, he forgot to eat or sleep. He threw everything to the back of his mind. Seeing that his sweetheart was so diligent in her training, Qin Qianqian naturally didn't dare to be negligent. The man and woman stayed in a small training hall and didn't take a step out as they trained with all their might.
Day after day passed.
One did not know how long one cultivated. To a martial artist, it might only be an instant.
The green striped stone's color gradually dimmed as the days passed.
The star power was absorbed, and the Star Stones gradually became mediocre.
In the blink of an eye —
A month passed.
During this month, Lin Feng didn't stop for even a second.
As the Star Stones lost their luster, like candles that had been burned out, Lin Feng's body finally welcomed another opportunity to break through.
His martial artist level had increased!
"Hua!" Dazzling starlight descended.
It was the "gift" of the starry sky. The intense red starlight shone, but compared to the star power he absorbed, it was negligible.
His body grew rapidly, his skin transformed, his bones, and his cells strengthened once again. Intense star power poured into his limbs and five meridians, filling him with extreme power. The red starlight twined around him. Feeling his new body, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Ha!" Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly.
The starlight gradually dimmed, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed into his body.
Lin Feng stood up, feeling a strong and powerful force. A faint smile appeared on his face.
He had broken through!
His senses of the surrounding auras became even more sensitive.
However, his body became lighter, and the surrounding chi was dense and condensed. He could touch it with his hand.
Star Sea State, Level 5!
In terms of body alone, it was comparable to a Level 7 Star Sea State War God!
"It's done." Lin Feng nodded enthusiastically.
The current him was a completely different person compared to half a year ago.
With Level 5 Star Sea State power, he could do whatever he wanted in Green Smoke City. Most importantly …
"This time, when I enter the Chaotic Swamp again, I won't run away pathetically!" Lin Feng's eyes deepened.
That day, the strongest of the Gou Mang Wu Tribe that chased after him, he thought it was a peak Star Sea State. However, after truly understanding the Star Sea State, he realized that it was only a Level 8 Star Sea State. With his current strength, he could definitely fight it!
"However …"
"The Spirit Chi Cave is blocked. They might not be there."
Lin Feng nodded. Nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Thinking about the days when he, Xuan Er, Qi Yang, and Qi Yue fought side by side, he was quite happy.
After all, those were the days when he first entered the Dou Ling World.
And now …
"After rescuing Xuan Er and the rest, I'll head to Li Yan Sect." Lin Feng's plan was very clear.
If he was hesitant about joining Li Yan Sect before, there was no more hesitation or hesitation now.
Because what he was worried about was simply groundless.
Joining Li Yan Sect was not tied to this boat.
It was just a stepping stone!
"Gang, sect, family." Lin Feng thought to himself.
In the Dou Ling World, the forces could be roughly divided into these three categories.
Among them, gangs were the most free. They could come and go as they pleased. All kinds of bandit groups, bandits, and mercenary groups were actually branches of gangs. Sects were generally divided into classes. A martial artist could not only join one sect in his lifetime. In fact, sects did not restrict martial artists from joining a second sect, but the prerequisite was —
Passing the apprenticeship test.
In the case of Li Yan Sect, the apprenticeship test was divided into two levels.
The primary apprenticeship test was to reach the Star Sea level and comprehend the astral power. They could roam freely in the Dou Ling World, such as Ji Xia and Qin Qianqian.
As for the advanced apprenticeship test, once passed, they would be beyond the sect rules and no longer subject to any restrictions. As long as they did not do anything that would endanger the sect, the sect would treat them as VIP and their names would be forever recorded.
As for the family, it was much stricter than the sect.
But …
"Actually, it's just a framework." Lin Feng thought to himself.
"No matter how strong the family's control is, once a martial artist's strength is out of control, he can still be free and do whatever he wants."
Contracts and promises were useless. In the Dou Ling World, strength determined everything.
…
"Oh, Fang Ni wants to see me?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered.
"Yes, Miss Fang has been here more than ten times. She wants to see you." An Ying smiled.
"Let her come." Lin Feng nodded.
He did not have a bad impression of Fang Ni. In fact, before entering the Green Smoke Secret Realm, it was her who reminded him.
Strictly speaking, Fang Ni also had a purpose, but he did owe her a favor.
If she had not told him, he might not have known who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
…
"Lin Wen, you are really a busy man." Fang Ni walked over with graceful steps, swaying gracefully.
Her luxurious clothes accentuated her mature charm. Lin Feng smiled. "Miss Fang, please have a seat."
Fang Ni sat down elegantly and said with a smile, "It's usually just me waiting. I don't want to see you every time. My neck is sore from waiting."
Her joking words narrowed the distance between them. Fang Ni glanced at Lin Feng, her beautiful eyes flashing. "This … should be your lover, right?"
She did not mention his name, but Fang Ni's words made Qin Qianqian blush, but he was very happy in his heart.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. He neither admitted nor denied it.
He looked at Miss Fang in front of him with burning eyes, secretly praising her.
With just a few words, Qin Qianqian was overjoyed. He was indeed worthy of being the helmsman of the Fang family.
"By the way, thank you for your reminder last time, Miss Fang." Lin Feng smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude.
"It's no trouble." Fang Ni smiled. "If you want to make friends, you have to show your sincerity. Lin Wen, you won't doubt me this time, right?"
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes brightened. "Miss Fang, please speak frankly."
Fang Ni said softly. "Then I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point." Fang Ni said seriously, her eyes burning. "According to the report, the Lu family wants to attack you. The strongest person in the Lu family, Lu Long, has already gathered the Violent Dragon and Fierce Tiger groups. As soon as you leave Green Smoke City … "
As she spoke, Fang Ni slowly glanced at Qin Qianqian and said, "Including everyone around you. Kill them all!"
"How dare they!" Qin Qianqian was so angry that his face turned red.
"Qianqian," Lin Feng said slowly.
Qin Qianqian pursed his lips and sat down with a pout.
Looking at the two, Fang Ni's eyes flickered. With her experience, she could see the clues.
But she didn't expect Lin Wen to control Qin Qianqian so well.
"Rumor has it that Qin Qianqian is unruly and capricious. Lin Wen is really something." Fang Ni looked at Lin Wen with admiration.
Lin Wen was more powerful than she had imagined. Lin Wen must have some skills to be able to control Qin Qianqian.
"So … what do you want me to do?" Lin Feng looked at Fang Ni and asked slowly.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Fang Ni had been tipping him off. Obviously, she was up to something.
"Lin Wen, you're really straightforward." Fang Ni smiled. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Qin Qianqian and said, "My father hopes that you can temporarily join the Fang family to deal with the Lyu family together. It's a win-win situation. This way, not only will you be safe, but you can also vent the frustration in your heart!"
Lin Feng looked at Fang Ni. From the way she looked at Qin Qianqian, he understood something.
"It seems … Qianqian's background is quite powerful." Lin Feng thought. Fang Ni wouldn't make such a big deal out of him if he was alone.
Her attitude was much more 'respectful' than the first time.
"I appreciate Miss Fang's kindness." Lin Feng nodded. "I'll deal with whatever comes my way. If the Lu family dares to come, I'll take them on." With that, Lin Feng stood up slowly and smiled. "Thank you for your information, Miss Fang. I'll definitely return the favor if I have the chance."
"You're welcome." Fang Ni stood up and smiled. She glanced at Qin Qianqian and saw his angry expression. She had achieved her goal.
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Fang Ni bowed slightly.
"See you later." Lin Feng nodded.
