"One fruit each," Lin Feng handed a Xuanming Black Flame Fruit to Huo Xuanyi.
"Haha, this is excellent. With this Xuanming Black Flame Fruit, our cultivation will undoubtedly progress by leaps and bounds." Even Huo Xuanyi, with his usually calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel a bit excited at this moment.
Lin Feng said, "Let's find a place to refine it."
"It would be better to go farther away," Huo Xuanyi suggested.
Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi quickly sped towards the outskirts of Lion Group Mountain.
Even when refining the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit in the Wilderness Jungle, they couldn't do it within the eight hundred miles of Lion Group Mountain.
This was the territory of the Red Flame Lion Beast King.
Every inch of land and cave here was probably known inside out by the Red Flame Lion Beast King.
Refining it here was a suicidal act, but Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi couldn't return to the academy to refine it either, as the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit needed to be refined within three days of being harvested, or else its effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Roar.
Just as Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi had left the eight hundred miles of Lion Group Mountain for not long, an earth-shattering roar came from afar. Endless flames burned the sky, and an angry roar echoed through the clouds, "Vile human ants, you dare to steal my Xuanming Black Flame Fruit? You are courting death!"
"This is bad, the Red Flame Lion Beast King is after us," Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi's expressions drastically changed.
The Red Flame Lion Beast King must have learned from the two "Young Red Flame Lion Beasts" that Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi had stolen two Xuanming Black Flame Fruits, and was instantly furious.
This was even more infuriating than having them stolen by the Four Great Strongmen.
The Four Great Strongmen, after all, were top experts. If the fruits were taken by them, it would only mean lack of strength.
But Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi, in the eyes of the Red Flame Lion Beast King, were nothing more than insignificant ants.
To have the Xuanming Black Flame Fruits stolen by such minor characters made the Red Flame Lion Beast King feel incredibly humiliated, so it chased after them relentlessly until it finally saw the distant figures of those two lowly humans, Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi.
"Let's separate," Lin Feng said.
"Be careful," Huo Xuanyi said solemnly.
"You too."
Lin Feng and Huo Xuanyi quickly split up, running in different directions.
Not long after, a terrifying aura emerged behind Lin Feng, as the Red Flame Lion Beast King chose to chase him.
"This lowly human makes me feel a powerful bloodline force. Why is that? Could this kid possess a great bloodline? I must devour him," the Red Flame Lion Beast King had a fierce glint in its eyes.
These fierce beasts could devour cultivators' bloodlines to increase their own power, enhancing their bloodline strength.
The Red Flame Lion Beast King could clearly feel the powerful bloodline within Lin Feng, so it chose to pursue him.
"Damn, this guy is so fast," Lin Feng muttered, his expression darkening as he flew swiftly through the forest.
But shaking off the Red Flame Lion Beast King wasn't an easy task.
Lin Feng sprinted wildly, yet the distance between him and the Red Flame Lion Beast King closed more and more. At this rate, it wouldn't take long before he was caught.
Once caught by the Red Flame Lion Beast King, there would be only one path: death.
"This can't go on. I need to find a way to evade this Red Flame Lion Beast King's pursuit, or I'm doomed," Lin Feng contemplated.
After running for a few more miles, the Red Flame Lion Beast King grew increasingly closer. By then, it was extremely dangerous; any slight misstep and he would be caught and killed, but right at this critical moment, a cliff appeared ahead.
Lin Feng looked down to see a large tree halfway down the cliff, and he jumped for it. He intended to hide in this cliffside tree, but then he discovered a cave next to the tree. The cave was about a meter high and well concealed. Lin Feng jumped into the cave, finding it to be spacious with a size of dozens of square meters.
"Roar." At that time, the Red Flame Lion Beast King's roar shook the sky.
The Red Flame Lion Beast King had come for the chase.
Even hidden in the cave, Lin Feng couldn't guarantee he'd escape this calamity. He glanced around and picked up a rock inside the cave to block the entrance.
Just then, the Red Flame Lion Beast King arrived in pursuit. Lin Feng, peering through a crack, saw the Red Flame Lion Beast King hovering by the cliff, searching for him. Lin Feng held his breath, fearing to draw the beast's attention, remaining utterly still in hiding, lest the sharp senses of the Red Flame Lion Beast King detect him.
Thankfully, the cave where Lin Feng hid was well concealed, and its entrance was blocked by a rock; otherwise, he would have surely been found by the Red Flame Lion Beast King.
Unable to find Lin Feng, the Red Flame Lion Beast King let out a roar and flew away, continuing to look for Lin Feng's trail.
"Phew," Lin Feng exhaled a long breath, feeling incredibly fortunate to have escaped the pursuit of the Red Flame Lion Beast King.
He took out the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit, a smile spreading across his face.
"Hopefully, I can use the strength of the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit to break through to the Martial Master Realm!"
Lin Feng swallowed the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit.
Instantly, a surge of power like a raging sea erupted within his body.
This force swept through his entire being like an overwhelming tide.
The ferocity of the energy nearly destroyed Lin Feng's meridians in an instant.
The Xuanming Black Flame Fruit was truly a Heavenly Earth Treasure, containing unimaginable energy.
Lin Feng dared not delay, swiftly initiating the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to absorb the immense power within him.
The energy of the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit gradually got absorbed by Lin Feng, transforming entirely into "Ancient Dragon Elephant Power," which flowed within him.
At the Martial Artist Tenth Level, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Power within Lin Feng was like a small stream, flowing gently.
But after refining the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit, the Ancient Dragon Elephant Power in Lin Feng's body converged into a river.
The surging Ancient Dragon Elephant Power coursed through his limbs and bones.
"This is the moment for success," Lin Feng muttered, fervently channeling the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, letting the Ancient Dragon Elephant Power within his body explode completely.
A world-destroying energy surged within him, quickly circulating inside his body.
It circulated for a full forty-nine Grand Circulations.
"Boom." An incredible force erupted within Lin Feng.
"Roar," an ancient world appeared behind Lin Feng.
An Ancient Dragon Elephant, standing on the earth, its head touching the sky, roared towards the heavens, shaking all the heavens.
"Martial Master Realm! It finally succeeded!"
Lin Feng opened his eyes, standing abruptly. With a slight wave of his right hand in the air, a burst of True Qi shot forth.
Swoosh!
The True Qi, like a sword, pierced through a rock a dozen meters away instantly.
Releasing True Qi externally marked the Martial Master Realm.
Lin Feng had finally broken through to the Martial Master Realm!
