Chapter 137 Strengthening Strength
"Why thank me?" the middle-aged man said calmly, looking at Ye Feng.

"This is a world created by our predecessors, and I have gained such immense benefits here, so naturally I should thank them more," Ye Feng replied.

"Your name is Ye Feng, right?" the middle-aged man said, squinting. "You have a good temperament. You haven't become arrogant just because you've gained some strength. If you can get out of here, you will definitely become a master who will be famous throughout the ages."

"However, as I said before, this place is not only full of opportunities, but also accompanied by dangers. If you want to become a master who will be renowned throughout the ages, the first prerequisite is that you must be able to get out of here. The trial is not over yet, and you could be in mortal danger if you are not careful." The middle-aged man suddenly became more imposing and said loudly to Ye Feng.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ye Feng was not too surprised. He hadn't even used his full strength yet. If he could pass the test here so easily, it would be too simple.

"I understand, senior. I'm ready. Let's continue." Ye Feng's aura not only didn't decrease but actually increased. Having benefited from the previous experience, Ye Feng's fighting spirit was now burning even brighter.

Upon seeing Ye Feng's powerful aura, a glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Without saying much, the middle-aged man disappeared from sight again. The surrounding space darkened once more, and the stars reappeared in the sky.

This time, what appeared before Ye Feng was not a magical beast or a ghost monster, but a human martial artist.

Ten human martial artists appeared at once, each wielding a different weapon: long staffs, knives, swords, and even less common weapons like guns and whips.

However, these martial artists all have one thing in common: they are all dressed in black and all have the cultivation level of the Spirit God Realm.

Ten martial artists at the Spirit God realm appeared at once! Although most of them were only at the early stage of the Spirit God realm, and there were only two at the middle stage, it should be noted that the strength of the martial artists participating in this trial was limited to the Spirit Form realm at most. Facing ten martial artists at the Spirit God realm at the same time, the difficulty was unimaginable.

Fortunately, these ten spiritual warriors fought individually and did not employ any coordinated tactics or formations; otherwise, Ye Feng would have undoubtedly been defeated.

Ye Feng's expression turned serious. According to the middle-aged man, this was a real killing formation, and one careless move could mean losing one's life at any moment.

Even if Ye Feng is incredibly skilled, he couldn't possibly take on ten Spirit God warriors alone. Therefore, Ye Feng would never be foolish enough to recklessly charge into the enemy ranks; that would be suicidal.

While Ye Feng was still pondering, a swordsman rushed towards him. The sword in the swordsman's hand swayed continuously in the air, so fast that it was impossible to see the position of the sword, and it was naturally difficult to judge where the sword was going to stab.

Although the martial artist's sword was very fast, Ye Feng could see very clearly that Ye Feng was much faster than the martial artist's sword.

"clang"

Ye Feng simply raised his hand to block the sword of the martial artist. However, before Ye Feng could make any counterattack, another martial artist with a knife arrived and unleashed a blade aura that rushed towards Ye Feng.

Helpless, Ye Feng had no choice but to abandon his attack on the swordsman and used the Heavenly Wind Step to evade the attack with an uncanny speed.

Ye Feng's figure was so fast that it left afterimages in the air. With such incredible speed, Ye Feng once again avoided the blockade of several martial artists and was not surrounded by them.

During his rapid movement, Ye Feng targeted two martial artists wielding long whips at a distance. These two martial artists were both at the early stage of the Spirit God realm, making them relatively easy to deal with. Furthermore, due to the nature of their weapons, these two martial artists were positioned far from the other martial artists. Ye Feng intended to end the battle quickly to avoid being surrounded.

Ye Feng arrived in front of the two martial artists almost instantly. Although these two martial artists were at the early stage of the Spirit God realm, their speed was no match for Ye Feng's. When Ye Feng appeared in front of them, the two of them obviously did not react in time.

"A Strike of Divine Wrath"

Ye Feng knew that the strength of the Spirit God Warriors was much greater than that of the ghosts and magical beasts he had encountered before, so he dared not be careless and used his martial arts skills right away.

Ye Feng's strength was already far superior to that of other martial artists of the same level. Moreover, after his strength was further enhanced, even without using his strongest Thunderfire Killing skill, Ye Feng was confident that he would have no problem dealing with a martial artist in the early stage of the Spirit God realm.

Before a martial artist wielding a long whip could react, Ye Feng's sword light pierced his chest. Even for a martial artist at the early stage of the Spirit God realm, Ye Feng could kill him with great ease when caught off guard.

At this moment, a long whip shot out and quickly wrapped around Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword. While Ye Feng was killing this martial artist, another martial artist wielding a long whip reacted. Although this martial artist was also surprised by Ye Feng's terrifying explosive power, he still made a decisive move and used his long whip to lock Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword.

This martial artist was confident that as long as he could lock Ye Feng's weapon, Ye Feng's strength would definitely be greatly reduced. Even if he was no match for Ye Feng, he would definitely be able to withstand Ye Feng for two breaths without any problem.

The battle between martial artists changes every second. Two seconds is long enough for the other companions to arrive and surround Ye Feng, at which point Ye Feng will be doomed.

However, the scene changed again in an instant. A ring of flame shot out from the sword in Ye Feng's hand, and the flame rushed straight towards the warrior holding the whip along the whip.

The martial artist was astonished. He could tell that the flame was merely a manifestation of Ye Feng's true essence. He knew that his whip was also reinforced with his own true essence, so it shouldn't have caught fire from the flame formed by his opponent's true essence, especially since his opponent was a martial artist at the Spirit Form Realm.

But all of this happened just like that. In the blink of an eye, the flames were about to burn the martial artist's body when the martial artist shouted, and a barrier of light appeared around his body, obviously a defensive barrier.

The martial artist had just released his defensive barrier and felt relieved when his eyes widened in disbelief. His barrier was so fragile under the aura of fire that it was instantly shattered.

The man with the whip's pupils contracted sharply. He hadn't expected this situation. In this predicament, he had no chance to react at all before his body was engulfed in flames.

The man with the whip finally fell down with a look of resentment. He never imagined that a mere spirit-type martial artist could break through his defensive barrier so easily.

Having killed two early-stage Spirit God warriors in one fell swoop, Ye Feng had no time to rejoice. Without stopping, he once again used the Heavenly Wind Step to push forward rapidly.

The instant Ye Feng left his location, several beams of light struck the spot where he stood. Stone chips flew everywhere, and a huge crater was smashed into the ground. The corpse of the Spirit God Warrior was reduced to ashes in the bombardment of these attacks.

Looking at the huge crater on the ground, Ye Feng felt lingering fear. If he hadn't reacted quickly and dodged in time, if he had stayed even a fraction of a second longer, he would probably be dead by now.

Although Ye Feng successfully killed two Spirit God warriors, he didn't fare well either. He was fine when he killed the first whip-wielding warrior, but the second whip-wielding warrior entangled Ye Feng's Crimson Fire Sword. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Ye Feng used the power of gods and demons to enhance his strength. It was because of this that Ye Feng's flames were able to break through the warrior's defense so easily.

However, although the power of gods and demons increased Ye Feng's strength, it consumed a lot of energy. Although Ye Feng tried his best to conserve his true essence, he only activated the power of gods and demons for a moment.

Although this expenditure left Ye Feng with enough strength to fight, he now faced eight Spirit God warriors, two of whom were mid-stage Spirit God warriors. Moreover, these warriors were mostly clustered together, making it difficult for Ye Feng to find opportunities to defeat them one by one. Furthermore, whether Ye Feng's true essence could withstand such a massive drain was also a question. Ye Feng swallowed a blue bottle of potion; although his true essence began to recover, this recovery rate was clearly insufficient for a decisive battle against the Spirit God warriors.

Just then, Ye Feng felt a pure power enter his body again. After this power entered Ye Feng's body, his body did not react much. However, Ye Feng found that the true energy he had consumed had recovered quite a bit. Although it had not fully recovered, it had almost recovered.

"I see. Killing an enemy restores some of your true energy. I guess this is because the true energy of a spirit-type martial artist is simply not enough to support such a battle," Ye Feng analyzed. Ye Feng is already considered a martial artist with an abnormally fast true energy recovery speed, but even he felt his true energy was tight in the face of such a battle. If other martial artists were to fight like this, how could they fight if they couldn't recover their true energy?

Feeling his true essence almost fully restored, Ye Feng was overjoyed. Since his power could be quickly recovered, Ye Feng had no more worries.

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content." Ye Feng's fighting spirit surged instantly. You should know that with the system's help, Ye Feng's improvement from fighting and killing a Spirit God Warrior would be enormous.

Ye Feng used the Heavenly Wind Step almost while activating the power of gods and demons. In this state, Ye Feng's speed increased by a large margin. Even a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist couldn't keep up with Ye Feng's speed.

Because of his greatly increased speed, Ye Feng was able to engage in battle with eight Spirit God warriors. With his speed advantage, Ye Feng didn't need to fight head-on; he only needed to find opportunities to defeat them one by one.

Ye Feng's fire ring has already demonstrated its power; it can easily break through the defensive barriers of even early-stage Spirit God warriors, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

Ye Feng's sword flashed again, and the head of a Spirit God warrior flew off. Now, these early-stage Spirit God warriors were like harvested straw in front of Ye Feng. Ye Feng was like a hunter, hunting down these defenseless warriors.

While the mid-stage Spirit God warriors could barely protect themselves, they were no match for Ye Feng's speed and had no way to save their companions. They could only watch as Ye Feng killed them one by one.

After Ye Feng killed yet another early-stage Spirit God martial artist, all the early-stage Spirit God martial artists present had been killed by Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng's true essence was greatly depleted, it was replenished, so the actual depletion was not much.

Just then, Ye Feng felt a power appear within him. Although this power did not have much effect on Ye Feng himself, and he was still able to increase his speed to the limit, Ye Feng felt as if he were trapped in a swamp, with a feeling that no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free.

The remaining two mid-stage Spirit God warriors were both spear-wielding warriors. These two warriors emanated a strange power, and the power they emitted was remarkably similar, merging together to form an even more powerful force.

Ye Feng knew that he was definitely being locked onto by this force. Under the pull of this force, the two martial artists were able to sense his location.

Sure enough, just as Ye Feng had this thought, a martial artist with a gun moved. This martial artist was also very good at movement. Although he was not as fast as Ye Feng, he still quickly arrived in the direction Ye Feng was heading.

It should be noted that Ye Feng is currently in a high-speed movement state enhanced by the power of gods and demons. Ye Feng's speed has almost reached the point where it is invisible to the naked eye. This martial artist had no way to deal with Ye Feng's speed before, but now he has actually predicted the direction Ye Feng is heading.

"I rely on"

Ye Feng was extremely frustrated. He had thought he could end the battle easily, but he hadn't expected these two martial artists to know such a strange secret technique. It seemed he couldn't underestimate his opponents. Perhaps it was because he had performed too well that this strange formation had automatically enhanced the strength of these two martial artists.

The martial artist swung his spear horizontally towards Ye Feng, the shaft of which shimmered with blue true energy.

Ye Feng had no way to dodge at this point, so he could only hold the Crimson Fire Sword horizontally in front of him to block the attack.

However, Ye Feng's weapon was a sword, which would have been a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with a weapon like a spear. The advantage of a sword lies in its swordsmanship and speed. In this situation, with his opponent being a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist, Ye Feng was already at a disadvantage.

However, Ye Feng's sword block was effective, at least avoiding the sharp tip of the spear. The spear shaft slammed heavily into Ye Feng's body, and Ye Feng felt his blood and qi surging, as a surge of true energy rushed into his body.

Ye Feng was sent flying backward by the force, but to his surprise, he was not seriously injured. This shocked him, because although he had dodged the spearhead, the shaft had actually hit him.

Ye Feng was not only hit by the spear, but also had a burst of true energy injected into his body. Under normal circumstances, if true energy were to run rampant in the body, it would damage his internal organs.

Putting aside the issue of true energy, just being struck solidly by the spear of a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist should have caused some damage to Ye Feng's body. However, Ye Feng only felt some turmoil in his blood and qi, and upon closer inspection, he did not find any major injuries.

"What's going on? Could it be that my body has improved and become more resilient?" Ye Feng wondered to himself.

Although Ye Feng didn't know the specific reason, he could roughly guess it.

However, the two Spirit God warriors were different. Seeing that their attack had no effect, they were both taken aback and forgot to continue attacking Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was not about to let such a great opportunity slip by. He used his Extreme Speed ​​Movement Technique. Although his location had been locked, the speed of his movement technique remained unchanged.

In such a battle, the situation can change in an instant, and these two martial artists, caught off guard, had already lost their chance to fight. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

Two swords were thrust out, and two more heads flew off.

Ye Feng didn't waste any time with the two warriors. He pushed his divine and demonic power to its limit and quickly killed them. In this way, all ten spirit god warriors were killed by Ye Feng.

After killing the two warriors, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. In battles against Spirit God warriors, life and death are almost decided in an instant. Especially these two mid-stage Spirit God warriors, they were fully capable of killing Ye Feng. If Ye Feng's body had not been strengthened, he would not have been able to withstand even the first attack.

Even if Ye Feng's body was enhanced, if the two martial artists had used their full strength, even if they were no match for Ye Feng, they wouldn't have been killed by him so easily. It was all because these two martial artists lost confidence during the battle and were caught off guard for a moment, which allowed Ye Feng to seize the opportunity and kill them.

In martial arts combat, the most important thing is confidence. If you don't have confidence in yourself, even if you are stronger than your opponent, you are likely to be defeated. Only with enough self-confidence can you unleash your strongest strength and even perform beyond your normal limits.

After Ye Feng killed two Spirit God warriors, the middle-aged man reappeared mysteriously.

"Not bad, it seems I wasn't wrong about you. Perhaps you really can inherit everything here, but even so, I won't hold back." The middle-aged man looked at Ye Feng and said, "Your next opponent is me. But don't worry, I won't use any true energy or martial arts beyond the strength of a Spirit Form Warrior."

Ye Feng gasped inwardly, never expecting his next opponent to be this middle-aged man. This man's strength was unfathomable; even though he was only using the true essence of a Spirit Form Warrior, Ye Feng still felt danger, a feeling even stronger than when facing ten Spirit God Warriors.

Despite this, Ye Feng still possessed his own pride. Although he was proud, Ye Feng's eyes remained firm, and one could even see a strong fighting spirit in him. Fighting against strong opponents and breaking through his own limits was also Ye Feng's pursuit.
