"Amazing, truly amazing! Truly deserving of being the renowned Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji from the original story!" Wang Feng exclaimed. He stood still, his feet sunk into the muddy ground. The power contained in Zhao Wuji's roar had exceeded Wang Feng's expectations.
Although Wang Feng had known that Zhao Wuji's sixth soul ability was a roar, he hadn't anticipated it would be this formidable. Moreover, being in close proximity to Zhao Wuji, intensified the roar's effect. Had Tang San and the others been present, they would have been incapacitated and maybe potentially facing life-threatening consequences.
Moreover, it was a long-range, wide-reaching attack that neither his [Reversal] nor his 'Slow World' could help him evade. Zhao Wuji had recognized his own limitations. Unable to engage in melee combat due to the speed disadvantage and the restraining effects of the [Reversal], he had chosen to activate his sixth soul ability, willingly sacrificing his close combat capabilities for this single devastating move.
"But... doesn't this also present an opportunity for me?" A faint smile played on Wang Feng's lips. He surged with soul power, staunchly resisting the deafening soundwaves.
But doing so came at a steep cost—a rapid depletion of his soul power.
The roar continued unabated. After tens of seconds, everyone within a few hundred meters of Dai Mubai's group lay sprawled on the ground, incapacitated and exhausted. They had also exhausted their soul power, rendering them powerless.
At this point, the roar gradually subsided.
Wang Feng's face had grown pale but there was a glint of excitement in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
But he had not collapsed.
"You're still standing?" Zhao Wuji watched in disbelief from a distance. He couldn't fathom how this young man had remained on his feet at such close range. Even a Soul Emperor above rank sixty would struggle to endure for as long as Wang Feng had.
Zhao Wuji was confident in his control of the technique, considering that Wang Feng was only a level thirty soul master. Zhao Wuji hadn't fully utilized all his soul power, but even so, no one, especially at level thirty, should have been able to withstand the attack for so long.
"Is he really just a level thirty soul master?" Zhao Wuji pondered.
He fixed his gaze on Wang Feng and spoke slowly, "Little brat, even though you're hanging in there right now, you must be running low on soul power, right? My soul abilities, while costly, I can use them a couple more times."
The Vigorous Vajra Roar, being a large-scale destructive spirit ability, couldn't be used multiple times consecutively.
Wang Feng didn't waste words. He encouraged Zhao Wuji to unleash his attack with all his might.
"Teacher Zhao, if you've got the guts, let loose with everything you've got. Show us the true power of the Vigorous Vajra Roar."
Zhao Wuji was taken aback by Wang Feng's audacity but burst into laughter. This kid was truly something else. He wanted him, Zhao Wuji to go all out when he was still barely standing.
In the midst of his amused laughter, Zhao Wuji had no intention of unleashing the Vigorous Vajra Roar at its full strength. He couldn't bring himself to do it, considering Wang Feng's tenacity.
However, just as Zhao Wuji was contemplating this, Wang Feng spoke again, goading him. "Teacher Zhao, if you're really a man, you won't hold back. Let's see the full extent of your power!"
The crowd, observing from a distance, couldn't believe what they were hearing. Did Wang Feng actually want to challenge Zhao Wuji to an all-out battle?
Zhao Wuji's expression changed dramatically. These were the kind of words that could make him lose his temper. It was as if Wang Feng had touched on his own fiery disposition.
'Let me give you a lesson you evil brat! Dare to call me out, your teacher like this..'
Zhao Wuji's face flushed with frustration as he muttered, "Boy, you've asked for this! Even if I end up flattened like a pancake by the dean, I'll go all out! I won't let you off easy now and you won't be calling me Zhao Wuji if I don't leave you bedridden for days!"
Zhao Wuji's outburst was uncharacteristic, reflecting his true nature. He stomped the ground with the force of a raging bull, his feet firmly planted as all six of his soul rings on his body began to glow brightly, signaling that his soul power was operating at full throttle, leaving out only the last ring.
"Vigorous Vajra Roar!" Zhao Wuji bellowed in anger.
Boom!
The resulting soundwaves were even more ferocious than before, feeling palpable as they emanated from Zhao Wuji's mouth. Tang San and the others watched in horror as they struggled to retreat, despite their weakened bodies.
But Wang Feng, who stood in the path of the soundwave, experienced something different. The roar rattled his bones, and it felt as though an immense force were twisting his internal organs.
It was overpowering.
Wang Feng winced, this Vigorous Vajra Roar was at least twice as powerful as the previous one. Even though Zhao Wuji hadn't gone all out, he had still unleashed 80 to 90% of his strength.
While Wang Feng possessed incredible physical strength, it was still on par with that of a Soul Master at rank fifty, making it impossible to resist.
However, Wang Feng wasn't foolish enough to challenge the limits of his endurance.
Why would he provoke Zhao Wuji like this? The answer was simple, Wang Feng needed the Vigorous Vajra Roar, combined with the Meteoric Tears, to temper his body.
A crazy idea!
It had been quite some time since Wang Feng had reached a state where his body pushed past its limits. Besides his soul power compression and purification, he hadn't experienced that feeling of teetering on the edge of life and death for a while. Even facing formidable soul beasts in battle couldn't trigger Meteoric Tears to unleash that unique energy for repairing and strengthening his body.
The problem was his physical prowess was already off the charts. Nevertheless, this was an exceptional opportunity.
Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Roar, with its incredible lethality and attack from all directions, was perfect for what Wang Feng needed, to push his body to the brink of life and death, allowing him to once again experience the warmth of Meteoric Tears.
Naturally, it was extremely perilous. A single misstep could lead to his demise. However, true strength often emerged when a person broke through and grew stronger in the most perilous of situations, rising from the ashes like a phoenix.
The overwhelming soundwave power tore through Wang Feng's body, as if every part of him were being ripped apart. His muscles, internal organs and limbs all trembled under the force of the soundwave.
Wang Feng kept his eyes closed. For anyone else, the agony he was enduring would have induced screams and possibly even loss of consciousness. But for him, it felt like something was missing, as if the pain wasn't enough.
This ordeal was even more grueling than his initial body transformation.
"Come on!" Wang Feng urged himself mentally. Thanks to his incredibly powerful mental will, he was aware of the excruciating pain his body was enduring at all times.
Still, he persevered. This was a rare chance to significantly enhance his physical condition. Once this experience was over, Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Roar would never have the same effect on him again.
After dozens of seconds, as Wang Feng had anticipated, a long-forgotten special energy surged from his heart, gently enveloping his entire body. It felt invigorating and revitalizing, comfortable and relaxing beyond words.
Every inch of his skin seemed to be soaked with this energy, while the power from the Meteoric Tears flowed throughout his body. It meticulously mended every aspect of his flesh and bones, making them more resilient and robust.
This process wasn't comparable to the mere healing powers of Golden Lotus, it felt more like a rebirth of his very essence.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhao Wuji suddenly snapped back to reality and instantly regretted unleashing that powerful Vigorous Vajra Roar, which had nearly depleted 80 to 90% of his strength.
"Oops! That kid, I'm afraid his entire body is shattered," Zhao Wuji thought, his initial anger cooling down abruptly.
Wang Feng's physical prowess was undeniably bizarre, strong enough to rival that of soul masters at over fifty levels. Yet, Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Roar this time was twice as powerful as the previous one. It seemed like Wang Feng had some residual energy left but how could he still endure and not get destroyed after such a devastating roar?
Such thoughts raced through Zhao Wuji's mind as he watched intently. Wang Feng had his eyes closed, his body bleeding and trembling. It was evident that he had reached his absolute limit.
Seeing Wang Feng in such a state caused Zhao Wuji's heart to plummet, the heat of battle replaced by an icy chill.
Meanwhile, Tang San and his group, who were farther away, observed this scene with shock.
"Something's not right!"
"Brother Feng, be careful!"
Simultaneously, Wang Feng suddenly opened his eyes from a distance, a gleam of determination flickering within them. He let out a triumphant shout,
"Finally!"
The instant his voice resounded, everyone on the scene, including Zhao Wuji, froze in their tracks, their expressions akin to statues, fixedly gazing at Wang Feng in disbelief.
