Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 152 Divine Weapon
In this direct confrontation with the Fengwo Guards, Ji Fuyou revealed almost all his trump cards, displaying his strength without reservation.

The sight of that head-on collision, that strength against strength, made everyone in the small team hold their breath.

Even Xiao Hanxue, who always liked to argue about everything, held her breath amidst the barrage of sword strikes that came in a dozen or so in succession.

She only let out a long breath after the Fonwo guard was completely blown off in the head.

"too strong!"

She couldn't help but say it.

Immediately afterwards, also invigorated by the fact that he could follow such a powerful captain, he waved his hand vigorously in a high-spirited tone: "Captain! You are so awesome!"

This loud shout allowed Liu Yiren, Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Guan Yue, and the others to recover slightly from the suffocating battle that was so intense that even a glance at it felt suffocating.

Their gazes toward Ji Fuyou were all brimming with excitement.

Only now do they truly understand what it means to be strong!
Even a master-level martial artist might not be able to achieve what Ji Fuyou has done!

His combat strength...

He has probably already surpassed those newly promoted master-level martial artists!

"Alright, now is not the time to celebrate. Let's wipe out these bountiful monsters first!"

Ji Fuyou refined a white Body Source Crystal, slightly recovering from the strain on his physical body caused by his full-force burst.

Then he turned around again and charged towards the fire monsters, fertile warriors, and generals that were following closely behind.

It’s different in the past.

With his strength growing rapidly, Ji Fuyou is now finding it increasingly easy to slaughter these fertile monsters.

Especially with Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue there to restrain and cooperate.

While they cannot fight against the Fertile Warriors, they can create an environment for him to fight these monsters one-on-one.

In this situation, he didn't need to worry about the Fertile Warriors attacking from all directions. He could fight them one by one and eventually defeat more than a dozen Fertile monsters, which would only take a short time.

……

Minutes later, the battle ended with the fall of the last Fertile Warrior.

"Clean up the battlefield."

Ji Fuyou gave the order immediately.

Xiao Hanxue, Fang Qiyun, Guan Yue, and the others quickly started "opening the blind boxes" and searching for these monsters.

Meanwhile, Ji Fuyou, Yang Kaitai, and Liu Yiren examined the swords and blades of the Fengwo guards.

Ji Fuyou found a red source crystal on the Fengwo Guardian.

It's just a matter of the types of source crystals...

"Physical Essence Crystal?"

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Yang Kaitai glanced at it and laughed, "Not every commander-level monster can yield a Spirit Source Crystal. Getting a Red Physique Source Crystal is already quite good."

As he spoke, he picked up one of the battle swords: "This time, in addition to the Body Source Crystal, there are additional gains."

"Does this knife contain dragon blood?"

Ji Fuyou's eyes lit up.

"It's not dragon blood."

Yang Kaitai didn't keep anyone in suspense: "The materials used in this knife are very precious. If I'm not mistaken, it incorporates a lot of Asura Stone."

"Asura Stone".

Ji Fuyou thought of the Zhenhai Spear on his body.

This gun was made using some Shura Stone as a material.

It is said to greatly enhance a cultivator's fighting spirit, thereby increasing their destructive power.

"Asura Stone is the best material for forging weapons... but those who use such weapons must have a high fighting spirit."

Yang Kaitai said, "A weapon made of Asura Stone by a peace-loving person is no different from a weapon made of ordinary metal. However, if it is used by a person with high fighting spirit, it can increase their lethality by up to 20 points!"

20 points!
Don't underestimate this number.

Even with only the increased lethality, it would still be enough for a high-level martial artist to break through the defenses of Fengwo.

"Such a large piece of Asura Stone may not be as valuable as a red spiritual source crystal, but it is definitely more valuable than a red physical source crystal."

He was making the final valuation.

"The magical properties of this material can only be activated by fighting spirit..."

Ji Fuyou's gaze immediately fell on Xiao Hanxue: "It seems most appropriate to forge a Shura Battle Axe for Xiaoxue?"

Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

I agree with his statement.

"Ugh?"

Xiao Hanxue was overjoyed: "For me?"

Fang Qiyun smiled and said, "I have no objection."

Guan Yue also echoed this sentiment.

"Get it."

Yang Kaitai handed the battle sword to Xiao Hanxue.

Xiao Hanxue took the sword and immediately brandished it, somewhat excited: "Thank you, Captain. When I get back, I'll remelt this sword into a battle axe, and it will be my destined weapon."

"You're talking about your natal weapon too early."

Yang Kaitai smiled and said, "If we have enough Asura Stones, we can refine even more precious Purgatory Iron. This kind of iron is a true material for divine weapons, and even master-level martial artists cannot obtain it."

"what?"

Xiao Hanxue felt that the weapon in her hand suddenly became less attractive.

"Liu Yiren's poison played a crucial role in killing this fertile guardian..." Ji Fuyou held the red physique source crystal in his hand and turned his gaze to Liu Yiren.

"In terms of contribution, this crystal should definitely be used by you, Captain."

Liu Yiren immediately replied.

"Captain, hurry up and use it. When you strengthen your physique to the master level, or even 31 or 32 points, are we still worried about not getting red physique source crystals?"

Yang Kaitai said with a smile.

"Yes, we're all waiting for that moment, when you'll lead us all into the realm of masters."

Fang Qiyun also had a smile on her face.

Seeing this, and considering that there was an even more powerful cult leader waiting for him, Ji Fuyou nodded and said, "Alright!"

He began refining the Body Source Crystal directly.

After a process that felt like his body was being roasted and then destroyed and rebuilt, his physique improved by 0.9!

28.6→29.5.

The result was better than he had expected.

He has always believed that the degree of enhancement ultimately obtained by using the Body Source Crystal depends not only on personal aptitude but also on some external factors.

For example, mental scales, or the exploration of the physical body's potential.

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique is undoubtedly the best secret technique for unlocking the potential of the physical body.

How far are we from master level?

Yang Kaitai asked curiously.

"One red physique source crystal is about right."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Once the physique reaches the master level, the strength becomes second nature, as if it were instinct, omnipresent, and the flow of vital energy makes one impervious to blades and spears, truly a superhuman realm."

Yang Kaitai said.

Ji Fuyou nodded.

A layer of energy flowed around the Fengwo Guardian.

The reason they were able to easily break through this force and utterly destroy the monster with a headshot was because their strength was too great.

No one other than a high-level martial artist can break through this layer of force.

Of course, if one can wield divine weapons forged from Asura Stone and Purgatory Iron, that's a different story.

"However, although I have gained some understanding of Gang Jin through the Great River Sword Technique and the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi, I am still a little short of truly comprehending Gang Jin..."

"It's alright. Once you've built up your strength, then you can try to comprehend the Gang Jin. The results will be immediate."

Yang Kaitai smiled and said, "You should realize that apart from those newly promoted master-level martial artists, very few masters can remain uncomprehended after reaching the 30th level of physical strength. This does not mean that every master is a martial arts genius, but rather that many power generation techniques will naturally be mastered once you reach a certain level and come into contact with them more often."

Ji Fuyou listened and seemed to understand slightly.

"Looks like I really need to raise my physique to 30 as soon as possible!"

Not only can he quickly comprehend the Gang Jin (罡劲), making him invulnerable to blades and spears, but his innate armor-piercing sword energy can also unleash its true power.

It also has a great damaging effect on life forms that wear heavy armor or have cultivated techniques such as "True Body of the Overlord" or "Deflection Field".

As the group was dividing up the supplies, a voice came from the mist.

However, He Qilin and the others noticed that the battle had ended and came over.

When he saw the corpse of the fertile guard, the young man's expression clearly showed a hint of surprise.

Then he said, "Your team was able to hunt down the Fertile Guardians with just a few people, which means you've qualified to enter the decision-making circle."

"what?"

Xiao Hanxue glanced at him.

He Qilin, however, said to Ji Fuyou, "I heard from Luo Suyu that you have entered the central hall and must know something about it. You should know that in addition to thousands of ordinary Fertile monsters, there are also a dozen or so Fertile Guardians in the central hall, as well as... our ultimate target, the Fertile Cult Leader."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

"Unlike the boss-level Flame Fertile Monster and the commander-level Fertile Guardian, the Fertile Lord... belongs to the lord-level monster. In addition to their astonishingly high attributes, what is even more terrifying about these monsters is the skills they possess."

He Qilin said.

"Skill?"

Ji Fuyou looked at him: "Do you know about the skills of the Fengwo Sect Master?"

"I don't know, but based on the monster's classification, we have a basic idea of ​​the extent of their capabilities."

He Qilin was not surprised that Ji Fuyou was unaware of these secrets.

After all, this information was not leaked to the public.

He then said directly, "Boss-level monsters often possess one or two abilities, and these abilities are relatively simple. For example, the Flame Fertile Monster can only breathe fire. Of course, flying can also be considered one. On the other hand, Commander-level monsters possess two or three skills, and some even have four. The skill levels are also higher."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Basically, the skills of boss-level monsters are mainly white and blue, while those of commander-level monsters are mainly blue and red."

"That lord-level monster, the leader of the Fengwo Cult..."

"Yes, he will not only have more skills, but also greater power. Blue advanced skills, red top-level skills... it is even possible that he will master an ultimate skill equivalent to a purple inheritance crystal."

He Qilin's expression turned slightly serious as he said this: "To deal with this kind of monster, let alone us, even a top-notch master team might not be able to return alive. The only thing we can do is to unite all the forces that can be united."

Ji Fuyou has already witnessed the terrifying power of the top-tier red skill.

The true form of the overlord.

And the deflection field that he cannot use also belongs to this level!
If even red-level skills possess such power, then the ultimate skill...

How powerful should it be?
"I've already contacted Gu Yinbing, Feng Yulou, and Xiao Jiuge. Next, we need to gradually clear out the abundant monsters on the outer perimeter, then quickly eliminate the surrounding abundant guards, and finally..."

He Qilin said in a deep voice, "Concentrate everyone's strength to surround and kill the Fengwo Cult Leader!"
