At that moment, Zhong Yue could not feel anything as his senses, including his pores, were tightly shut. Every morsel of power was sealed off inside of him with no way to escape—his soul had never been this solid before!
The inner evil that was born had been eradicated and this allowed to reach a miraculous state.
Time was stopped, and everything seemed to be progressing very slowly as if it would take forever to do anything at all.
This was the moment one would experience after chasing away his fear. A serenity where one would enter a state of unprecedented concentration—a moment where one's reflexes would reach the pinnacle!
This purported state was an oddly fantastic sensation created when one's body, psyche, and soul were operating in overdrive!
Just imagine… when one's eyes were able to capture something moving at ten times the speed of any normal person, any object moving at normal speeds would appear ten times slower in their eyes.
If one could perceive things ten times faster than the normative speed, then they would realize that time was progressing ten times slower around them!
And if one's body, psyche, and soul had all entered this wondrous state, they would be able to unleash unstoppable strength and a tremendous level of psyche control!
If one trained in this state, they would be able to achieve incredibly fast progress!
The medicinal efficacy of the three Feather Spirit Pellets was being absorbed incessantly by Zhong Yue's body, and the efficacy of the pellets was converted into his psyche a crazily fast speed. His soul was nourished, allowing the Sui Sovereign formed by his soul to appear even more majestic and magnificent!
Such rapid absorption and conversion speed of the medicinal efficacy was that he had never even fathomed.
But now, it had become a reality!
Zhong Yue could not feel how long had it been ever since he leaped off the cliff. In the state of extremity, he responded to everything incredibly quickly, causing the time around him to crawl to a halt.
Time quietly elapsed and Xin Huo suddenly shouted, "Unleash everything at once!"
Upon hearing his words, Zhong Yue opened up his eyes and felt his state of extremity coming to an end. Other than that, his falling speed had hiked up to a point beyond imagination, and he was coming increasingly close to tragically meeting his end at the cliff bottom!
At this speed, even if he had a pair of wings, he would still be crushed into a pile of meat at his rate of descent!
Swooooosh——
As Zhong Yue opened his eyes, he was already level with the hundred-feet tall trees at the cliff bottom. With his current speed, he would crash into the cliff bottom in the blink of an eye!
Xin Huo also started to sound nervous and shouted, "Now! Unleash every ounce of strength you have in your body, psyche, and soul at once, or you will die for sure!"
"Jiao Dragon Winding Body!"
Zhong Yue shouted and after a loud thunderous noise, a thunder Jiao Dragon that was ferociously brandishing its claws formed around his body!
"Sui Sovereign!"
"[Horizontal Thunder Control]!"
Zhong Yue's shout, the dragon's roar, and the thunderous cacophony formed a discordant symphony. His soul flew out and transformed into the gigantic Sui Sovereign, increasing the power of the lightning Jiao Dragon, and suddenly, the trees at the cliff bottom seemed to be ravaged by a massive tornado. A ferocious Jiao Dragon wrapped in lightning could be seen faintly rampaging throughout the forest!
Trees fell onto the ground, earth shattered into rubble and animals fled quickly in the path of the thunder dragon.
Boom!
A lightning Jiao Dragon wound around Zhong Yue's body and in a split second, he moved horizontally for a few thousand feet before crashing down onto the ground.
Waves of mud, soil, and rock were propelled omnidirectionally concomitantly with the crash, and a huge crater was formed. Zhong Yue could be seen kneeling down on one knee with his arms supporting him on the ground. Vigorous lightning sparks could also be seen emanating from his body; they flashed towards the ground and charred it black.
Phew… I survived…
Zhong Yue got up, and suddenly, a sharp dizziness hit him, and he felt an immense pain coming from his limbs. He could also feel his psyche ocean trembling so hard as if it would tear brain asunder. For a moment, he almost could not stand still, and he was on the verge of fainting.
In his body, the three Feather Spirit Pellets' efficacies had depleted, and he could even feel his body growing weak as his psyche and soul was draining energy from his body!
In that short period of time, he had unleashed every reserve of strength in his body, psyche, and soul in its entirety!
"Consume another three Feather Spirit Pellets!"
Xing Huo said, "Your soul and psyche is in a hyperactive condition you have never had before, and this condition is taking a toll on your body. You must consume additional Feather Spirit Pellets to replenish some energy or your body's remaining energy will be drained completely, at which point you will die."
Zhong Yue immediately took out three Feather Spirit Pellets and consumed them all. He had also heard a story similar to what Xing Huo said. They said a mother along with her child in a tribe had met with an earthquake and their house collapsed as a result. When a colossal pillar was on the verge of falling onto the child, the mother miraculously lifted the pillar to ultimately save her child!
The child was saved, but the mother who lifted up the pillar died shortly after that. There was no trace of injury on her body, and she had no history of infirmity. Perhaps, the motherly love she had for her child triggered her state of extremity, granting her a transient, but immense strength. Her energy was quickly drained away, and she had no medicinal pellets like Feather Spirit Pellets to replenish herself, resulting in her ultimate death.
His current situation was quite similar to that story. Fortunately for him, he had enough Feather Spirit Pellets to replenish the energy in his body.
As he swallowed the pellets, he could feel the strength and energy surge within his body, slowly nourishing his psyche and soul. His psyche ocean was also expanding rapidly!
As he completely absorbed the pellets' efficacy, his psyche ocean had grown almost two times bigger than before!
"It has been just a while, and my psyche has become so strong?"
Zhong Yue was stunned by the result. The time he took when he leaped out of the cliff until he landed at the cliff bottom was only a mere five minutes, and he had consumed six Feather Spirit Pellets, and his psyche had become twice as strong!
At my rate of consumption speed, I'm afraid these nine hundred plus Feather Spirit Pellets could only last me for a month's time…
Initially, he thought that these pellets were a great amount wealth, but it seemed like he was still too naive. He would need as many Feather Spirit Pellets he could get in order to support Xing Huo's extreme training regimen!
"Now, climb up the cliff and jump down again."
Xing Huo remarked, "Your body is not too bad, you suffered no injuries from that. Therefore, you will now consume six pellets and carry a huge rock while you jump out of the cliff. Yeah… that's it. This rock will do, climb up while carrying it and jump down while carrying it too."
Zhong Yue looked at the rock, and he couldn't help but stare blankly at it. The stone was almost a thousand kilograms, and it was so large!
Climbing up the cliff would've been a difficult task in and of itself, let alone climbing up the hill while carrying the rock.
"Brat Yue, leaping out of the cliff is to train your explosive force and climbing up the cliff is to train your ability in controlling your strength. While carrying the rock up the cliff, you will visualize the Jiao Dragon and use its claw to hike, carefully control the dragon claws and its body coordination can help you master and manage all your strength."
Zhong Yue nodded in affirmation and formed the dragon with his psyche. This time, the time he took to actualize the dragon was shorter, and his reactions were much faster than before.
Along with the dragon, Zhong Yue carried the rock and walked to the cliff. As he looked up, he could only see a little portion of the cliff as clouds concealed the other parts of the cliff.
As Zhong Yue started to climb, with only a little bit of strength, the rocks under his dragon claws were crushed into crumbs. His brows creased and he thought, Xing Huo was right, my control is not good at all. I could only form the Jiao Dragon but didn't know how to control its strength at all. I have to learn how to control its strength, applying as much or as little of it as I desire effortlessly.
He calmed himself and slowly reached out to stem the flow of the Jiao Dragon's strength. After a long time, Zhong Yue moved again and restarted his ascent.
Under his control, the dragon claws slowly climbed the cliff.
The hiking was dangerous; if he were not careful, he would crush the rocks he held onto, and he would lose the handholds that tethered him to life. There were quite a few times where he almost fell from the cliff.
Luckily, Jiao Dragons have four limbs. As one of the claws failed to hold onto the cliff, the other rocks that were clasped by the other three claws remained intact, preventing him from plummeting to his death. Even so, the process was still one filled with endless grief.
As he continued climbing, his control over the Jiao Dragon became more meticulous, and he could feel his strength even better. With this, his climbing speed increased, and he edged closer and closer to his destination.
On the top of the cliff, animals could be heard roaring in the mountains, and they could be seen drinking water from the lake. A girl donning red clothes could be seen sitting by the lake with her shoes taken off, with her pants rolled up. The water splashed around as she swung her legs playfully in the lake.
"Tao-tao, you said that Zhong Yue has come here?"
A girl in black then came walking on the water quickly and said, "Where is he?"
The girl in red then smiled happily and replied, "I only saw him walking up Yin Ma Tai, but I don't know where he went after that. Strange… Yin Ma Tai is not big at all, where could he have gone?"
The girl in black stopped walking, and she furrowed her brows. As she frowned, the water under her feet started waving, and the back of a fish was formed. The back of the fish itself lengthed almost 40-50 feet!
"Zhong Yue from the male house, he could be considered as a formidable foe as he could easily fend off my Twin Flying Fish-Goose."
The girl in black showed a cold expression and said, "But he is a coward for hiding away after what happened. Let's go. There's no point waiting here if he dares not face us at all…"
Before she could finish her sentence, a ferocious Jiao Dragon could be seen rearing its head up from the cliff with its claws deeply entrenched into the cliff. Following right after, Zhong Yue could be seen carrying a huge boulder toward Yin Ma Tai. He appeared to be exhausted as he kept on panting while tossing the huge rock to the side.
The two girls looked toward Zhong Yue's direction and saw the topless young man soaked in sweat. Although he was taking a rest, he emitted a wild aura as his sweat slowly traced the contours of his muscles.
"Here comes Zhong Yue. Senior Martial Sister, I assume I have nothing to do over here anymore?" laughed the girl in red.
Zhong Yue looked toward their directions, he startled and thought, Those two Senior Martial Sisters look a little bit familiar….
As the girl in red heard what he said to himself, she chuckled, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I was singing on the small boat when you peeped at someone taking a bath."
"Junior Martial Sister Tao, are you implying that he saw my whole body from head to toe while I was bathing?"
"He saw only my shoulders at most, not even close to my chest at all," the girl in black rebutted unhappily.
Zhong Yue's face turned black as he heard what they said and he said in his heart, Oh no! They are Yu Feiyan and Tao Daier from the female house! How did she know I was the one from that night? That's it… Senior Martial Sister Ting must have sold me out!
