The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

After observing for a while, Ling Feng did not make a move immediately.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan shook his arm and said urgently:

"Brother Feng, you'd better hurry up and make a move. If they keep going like this, they'll probably get hurt soon."

"Yu Yan, don't panic. They are currently engaged in a contest of internal strength, so there is no immediate danger. If I were to intervene rashly, something unexpected might happen."

Wang Yuyan seemed to understand but not quite, but seeing Ling Feng's confident expression, she didn't urge him any further. She just watched the two competing with some nervousness.

Ling Feng didn't say much, and continued to watch them.

An hour passed as the two of them looked at each other.

Aside from a little sweat on their faces, the two competitors showed no other signs of distress during the competition.

On the contrary, Ling Feng and his companion were so engrossed in watching their competition that they became drowsy.

Finally, another half hour passed, and the two of them were pale and bloodless. The contest of their inner strength was about to be decided.

Wang Yuyan kept her eyes glued to them, gripping Ling Feng's arm so tightly that her nails were almost digging into his flesh.

Noticing the change in their expressions, she quickly and anxiously turned to Ling Feng and asked:

"Brother Feng, what's the situation with Grandma and the others? They all look very unwell."

Although Wang Yuyan now possesses first-class strength, she still lacks considerable experience, which is why she cannot understand that the two have reached a critical moment.

Although Ling Feng wasn't very experienced, his strength allowed him to see that the two were about to determine a winner. He turned around and said with a serious expression:

"The two have been battling for so long, and now the outcome is about to be decided!"

"Ah, if they decide a winner, one of them will definitely get hurt. Brother Feng, you're so good, hurry up and make a move!"

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, Wang Yuyan felt a surge of anxiety and instinctively gripped Ling Feng's arm tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

Ling Feng sensed Wang Yuyan's nervousness, but at this moment his attention was entirely focused on Tong Lao and Li Qiushui.

He watched as their faces grew paler and paler, knowing that the contest of internal strength had reached its final, crucial moment.

Seeing that Ling Feng was ignoring her, Wang Yuyan became anxious, so she shook his arm and said urgently:

"Brother Feng, hurry up and make a move!"

Ling Feng was carefully observing the contest of their inner strength when she urged him on. After a moment of contemplation, he concluded that with his current strength, he should be able to separate the two.

After making up his mind, Ling Feng turned around, gently patted Wang Yuyan's small hand, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Yu Yan, I'll separate them right away, and they'll be fine."

Hearing this, Wang Yuyan finally felt relieved, nodded, and released her small hand that had been tightly gripping Ling Feng's arm, saying:

"Okay, be careful, Brother Feng."

Then, Ling Feng flew forward, gathering his inner strength in his hands, preparing to forcibly separate the two.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle, we are all from the same sect. You have fought to this point and should have vented your anger. I think it is best to stop at the same time!"

Ling Feng's voice resounded like thunder all around, but the two who were engaged in a contest of internal strength seemed not to hear it and showed no reaction.

Seeing this, Ling Feng believed that the two still harbored resentment and were not willing to let the matter rest.

So he decided to forcibly separate the two.

In fact, Ling Feng had misunderstood them.

At this moment, their internal strength contest was at a critical juncture, and they were unable to speak at all.

Seeing that they ignored him, Ling Feng stretched out his hands, which were filled with internal energy, and prepared to grab the two of them separately and forcibly separate them.

Just as Ling Feng's hands touched them, an accident suddenly occurred.

Although the contest of their internal strength had reached a critical moment, they were still in a state of balance overall.

However, Ling Feng's sudden intervention disrupted this balance.

The internal energy that the two were clashing with seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly towards Ling Feng at the same time.

Ling Feng was immediately dumbfounded. He originally only wanted to separate the two, but he did not expect to become the outlet for their internal energy.

At this moment, Ling Feng was in a predicament and could not retreat; he could only fight back with all his might.

Fortunately, he possessed the strength of a peak Grandmaster, which allowed him to barely manage to hold out against the two. However, this was only temporary; in the long run, he would likely find it difficult to sustain the fight.

After all, the two opponents were both Grandmaster-level experts. If it were simply a contest of martial prowess, Ling Feng wouldn't be afraid of them joining forces.

However, in this contest of internal strength, Ling Feng had no chance to use any tricks and could only rely on his own strength to withstand the attack.

At this moment, the three of them reached a delicate balance, and none of them dared to easily withdraw their internal energy.

Because if someone tries to withdraw their internal energy, the other two internal energies will immediately surge towards her.

At that time, if one were to withstand a full-force attack from the other two, one would be severely injured even if not killed.

None of the three were willing to take the risk, so they were at an impasse.

In this way, Ling Feng found himself in a rather unfortunate situation. He had originally intended to help the two out of their predicament, but ended up getting dragged into it himself.

Wang Yuyan also witnessed the changes that had befallen the others, but all she could do now was worry helplessly.

After all, Ling Feng's lesson was right there, and besides, with her first-class strength, she couldn't possibly get involved.

After the three had been battling it out for half an hour, Ling Feng was already starting to feel that he was finding it difficult to keep up.

As time went on, he discovered that the two people opposite him were becoming stronger and stronger, while he himself gradually felt somewhat powerless.

If this continues, when his internal energy becomes unsustainable, the combined internal energy of the two will be equivalent to him taking a full-force attack from them.

Ling Feng inwardly groaned; if this really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He realized he had to find a way to end the fight as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unpredictable.

No matter how powerful he becomes, he will end up either dead or severely injured, which is not what Ling Feng wants.

He can't even speak now, otherwise he could discuss with them the possibility of the three of them withdrawing their internal energy together.

He finally understood why the two had ignored him, but it was too late now.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time blamed himself for being a little too complacent.

If I hadn't rashly intervened, I might not have ended up in such a dangerous situation.

After struggling for a while, Ling Feng's face turned ashen, and he was nearing his limit.

Just as Ling Feng was about to exhaust himself, he suddenly realized that he was practicing the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

The most notable feature of the Northern Darkness Divine Art is its ability to absorb the internal energy of others and convert it into one's own.

In this situation, the Northern Darkness Divine Art might be able to work, because the two opponents are constantly channeling their internal energy into their bodies.

At this critical moment of life and death, Ling Feng couldn't care less about anything else.

Therefore, he immediately changed his energy flow path, focusing all his efforts on receiving the internal energy transmitted from the two, while simultaneously using the Beiming Divine Art to neutralize this internal energy.

Immediately, the group switched between offense and defense. Ling Feng did his best to neutralize the two men's internal energy. Although it was somewhat difficult, he was still able to hold on.

When Tong Lao and Li Qiushui realized Ling Feng's plan, they were both startled.

They thought Ling Feng was just trying to hold them off, but they never expected him to have such ambitions and want to absorb their inner strength!

If Ling Feng succeeds, they will probably lose all their power and become cripples!

Thinking of this, the two felt a chill of fear and quickly channeled all their inner strength, trying to withdraw their internal energy.

However, after Ling Feng changed his energy channeling route, he is now fully absorbing their internal energy, making it impossible for them to withdraw their internal energy.

Moreover, because Ling Feng was fully absorbing internal energy, they couldn't even speak and could only watch helplessly as their internal energy was drained away.

Seeing that the two did not react, Ling Feng also dared not make any moves and could only do his best to neutralize their internal energy.

A perfect misunderstanding was thus created, and of course, Ling Feng was the one who ultimately benefited.

The two of them each possessed eighty or ninety years' worth of internal energy, which combined to amount to nearly two hundred years' worth of internal energy.

If Ling Feng were to absorb all of it, who knows what level he could break through to?

As Tong Lao and Li Qiushui lost their internal energy, their faces began to gradually age.

Their once smooth and delicate skin gradually loosened, wrinkles crept onto their faces, deep crow's feet appeared around their eyes, and their hair began to turn white.

After absorbing nearly seventy or eighty years of internal energy from the two women, Ling Feng felt that they no longer posed any threat to him, so he stopped absorbing their internal energy.

He took a deep breath, slowly withdrew his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

As soon as Ling Feng withdrew his internal energy, the two of them fell to the ground.

Their bodies became extremely weak, as if they had lost all their strength.

They struggled to stand up, but were powerless to do so.

After Ling Feng stopped absorbing their inner strength, the two women had now turned into two old women in their seventies or eighties, completely losing their former beauty and charm.

Both of them felt that most of their internal energy had been lost, and they looked at Ling Feng with complicated expressions.

They were filled with anger and resentment, but at the same time they understood that they could no longer compete with Ling Feng.

Ling Feng is currently standing still, trying to neutralize the internal energy of the two. This sudden increase of over a hundred years of internal energy is something he simply cannot neutralize in a short period of time.

He closed his eyes and focused all his energy on circulating his internal force, trying to integrate it into his body.

After the three separated, Wang Yuyan hurriedly walked forward.

She rushed to Li Qiushui's side first, reached out to help her up, and asked with concern:

"Grandma, how did things turn out like this?"

Then, she reached out and helped the old woman up from the ground.

After being helped up, the two did not respond to Wang Yuyan's question, but instead stared at each other.

They noticed that they had both aged considerably, as if they had entered the twilight of their lives.

At the same time, they raised their hands to examine them and found that their hands were covered with wrinkles, showing the appearance of old age.

Witnessing all this, the two couldn't help but let out a desolate laugh, tears silently streaming down their faces.

Although they still retained some internal strength, none of them attacked Ling Feng, perhaps because of a change in their conscience, or perhaps because they couldn't bear to hurt him.

Although Ling Feng was trying his best to neutralize their internal energy, his gaze never left them.

He knew that neither of these two were simple people, and now that he had absorbed most of their internal energy, it was inevitable that they would attack him.

If they suddenly attack him, Ling Feng will kill them both even if it means suffering serious injuries.

Fortunately, the final outcome did not lead him to do that.

Seeing that the two ignored her and Ling Feng was standing there meditating, Wang Yuyan felt helpless and confused.

She didn't know how to deal with the situation and could only anxiously pace around in place.

A moment later, Ling Feng finally succeeded in completely dissolving the internal energy accumulated over the past hundred years.

This sudden surge of internal energy from over a hundred years ago enabled him to break through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

But at the same time, he also realized a serious problem—the drawbacks of the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Originally, due to the existence of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, he could cultivate both internal and external strength, and was able to barely suppress the internal energy absorbed by the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

However, his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is currently only at the Grandmaster level, while the internal energy of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster level.

This disparity made it difficult for him to continue suppressing the power of the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Ling Feng has now reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

However, because the internal energy he cultivated was not obtained through orthodox means, but rather by absorbing the internal energy of others, his cultivation level appeared extremely superficial.

Moreover, the internal energy within him became extremely unstable, constantly facing the danger of rioting.

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly remembered seeing some people discussing Duan Yu online in his previous life.

It is said that although Duan Yu eventually possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, he died young.

The reason is that the internal energy in his body was all absorbed out of thin air, and in the end it could no longer be suppressed, instead it backfired on him.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng secretly felt fortunate.

Thanks to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill he obtained from the system check-in, otherwise he would probably have already lost his life due to the internal energy outburst.

However, what annoys Ling Feng is that the progress of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is not keeping up with his needs, making it difficult for him to suppress his surging internal energy.

Now, he must be extremely careful every time he uses his internal energy to avoid breaking the existing balance and triggering a crisis of internal energy turmoil.

Therefore, Ling Feng dares not use his internal energy easily, for fear that he might accidentally put himself in a desperate situation.

Just as Ling Feng was still in a state of panic, Wang Yuyan saw that he had finished his meditation and hurriedly ran over to ask with concern:

"Brother Feng, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Ling Feng shook his head, a smile appearing on his face.

Although he had just gone through some danger, he didn't want the girl to worry about it.

After saying that, he turned to look at the somewhat deranged Granny Tong and Li Qiushui.

At this moment, the two of them no longer had the imposing manner they had before; instead, they had become somewhat erratic and deranged.

Seeing them like this, Ling Feng actually felt a little guilty.

After all, they are the ones who bear the greatest responsibility for how they ended up this way.

If I hadn't absorbed their inner energy, they wouldn't be in this state now.

However, there was no other way. If he didn't do this, his fate would definitely not be any better than theirs.
