High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 106 Breaking Records, the First Person in History!
"This is the 'Lei Chi Stele'."

The staff member's voice carried a hint of respect: "What is engraved on it are the names of the top one hundred people who absorbed the most lightning crystals among all those who entered the Qiming Thunder Pool over the tens of thousands of years since it was opened to the public."

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the stone tablet.

Qin Feng's gaze also fell upon that direction.

Quickly scan the names that have left a glorious mark on the history of the Morning Star from top to bottom.

His gaze lingered on the name at the very top of the stone tablet.

[First Place: Sun Chantang - 88 beads]

Upon seeing this familiar name, Qin Feng felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

It turns out that the curator who cured his illness and guided him through the darkest moment of his life had once created such a brilliant record here.

Many years ago, the young Sun Chantang also won numerous first places at Qimingxing.

[Second Place: Wang Pojun - 87 stars]

Qin Feng had never heard of this name before, but to be able to closely follow Sun Chantang by only one point must also be an extraordinary martial artist.

The names that follow are even more unfamiliar.

But the numbers following each name represent a glorious past and an extraordinary will.

"Let me explain the approximate correspondence between the number of lightning crystals and physical aptitude."

The staff member's voice rang out again, pulling everyone back to reality.

"Generally speaking, if an unrefined pure-blooded human can successfully absorb eight lightning crystals, their physical aptitude can leap to 'Gold Standard Human Grade I'."

"If one can absorb forty lightning crystals, one can reach the 'Gold Standard Human Level II'."

"To reach the limit of human beings in psionic technology theory—'Gold Standard Human Level III'—one would need to absorb at least one hundred lightning crystals."

"Of course, this is just a general reference. Specific situations vary from person to person. I'll emphasize one last time: everyone must act within their capabilities! When your body and mind send warning signals, you must leave the area immediately! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The boys and girls present responded in unison.

After the explanation, the camp fell into a quiet wait once again.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Several hours later, the thick thunderclouds that had been crackling with lightning overhead seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and began to slowly recede to the sides, revealing a clear blue sky.

"The Thunder Pool has been opened! All trial participants, follow me up the mountain!"

A guide shouted.

As soon as the words were spoken, nearly a hundred qualified teenagers followed the guides and began to climb the majestic Leishan Mountain.

Behind them, the high-level martial artists who served as their guardians, including Lin Yue, followed silently.

The guide did not stop them; on the contrary, he tacitly approved of their behavior.

After all, in such a dangerous place, having one more strong person means one more layer of security.

The mountain roads of Leishan are rugged and steep. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes, and the biting cold wind feels like a knife scraping your face.

But for these trial participants, who are at least level one martial artists, this difficulty is nothing.

More than an hour later, the group finally reached the highest point of Leishan Mountain.

Standing here, the view suddenly opens up.

You can even clearly see the slightly curved, planetary-like horizon in the distance.

White clouds surged beneath my feet, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

And at the summit of this mountain, there really is a strange lake.

The lake is about 300 meters in diameter and only 3 or 4 meters deep. The water is crystal clear, yet it has a dreamy blue-purple hue.

Countless tiny sparks of electricity seemed to flow and leap in the lake, making soft crackling sounds, creating an atmosphere of mystery and danger.

This is Qiming Leichi.

"The lightning crystal is suspended in the water."

The guide pointed to the blue-purple lake and said, "Later, enter the Thunder Pool, grab a Thunder Crystal, hold it tightly in your palm, concentrate, and you can absorb it."

He checked the time and then called out loudly, "The time has come! Enter the pool!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

With each splash, the boys and girls leaped into the Thunder Pool.

Qin Feng followed closely behind, his body disappearing into the blue-purple pool.

The pool water was icy cold, but the vast and pure spiritual energy it contained made him feel comfortable all over.

Following the guide's instructions, he searched in the water for a moment and grabbed a crystal about the size of a thumb that was floating beside him. The crystal was completely transparent and sparkled with electricity inside.

This is a lightning crystal.

He held it tightly in his palm.

A surge of violent energy instantly erupted from the lightning crystal, flowing down his arm and into his body!

That energy, like thousands of miniature thunderbolts, swept and roamed through his meridians and flesh, bringing a tingling and stinging sensation.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, but soon he realized that this so-called "rage" wasn't so unbearable for him. In fact... it was somewhat mild.

The moment this thunderous energy entered his body, it seemed to be tamed, flowing gently and cleansing his body bit by bit, changing the most fundamental structure of his life.

"Perhaps it's because my body has already been treated by Master Sun and Lord Zhou Xiong's 'Perfect Hands'."

"It's also possible that it's because I'm already a Gold Standard Human Level II."

Qin Feng understood.

He looked around.

The other boys and girls all looked extremely pained.

Their brows were furrowed, their teeth clenched, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably in the pool from the excruciating pain, like a small boat in a storm.

Several people, unable to bear the excruciating pain, even let out suppressed cries of agony.

In contrast, Qin Feng's expression could only be described as "content".

He quickly absorbed all the energy from the first lightning crystal.

Without hesitation, he immediately grabbed the second one.

The pain caused by the second lightning crystal was several times more intense than that of the first.

But for Qin Feng, it was still within a range that he could easily tolerate.

He floated in the pool like a quiet cultivator, silently and efficiently absorbing one lightning crystal after another.

Meanwhile, a brutal elimination round has already begun among the others.

"I can't take it anymore! Ah!!"

As a boy absorbed the third lightning crystal, he let out a shrill scream and curled up in agony.

The guide on the shore immediately jumped into the pool and quickly pulled him out.

The more the lightning crystal is absorbed, the greater the pain becomes, increasing exponentially.

Soon, when absorbing the fourth lightning crystal, more than a dozen people chose to give up because they could not bear the excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow.

By the fifth ball, even more people had given up, exceeding half of the total number of people.

When the process reached the sixth stone, only three or four figures remained in the Thunder Pool, which originally had nearly a hundred people.

They were all gritting their teeth and persevering, their faces contorted with pain, their muscles spasming violently.

Zhou Heyuan was among them.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he bit his lip tightly to keep himself from making a sound.

The sixth one!
Just two steps away from the eighth one!

If we can just persevere a little longer and absorb all eight lightning crystals, we can become a "Gold Standard Human Grade I"!
That is a physical potential far greater than any special physique!

However, ideals are lofty, but reality is cruel.

The dual torment, stemming from both the body and the mind, crashed against their fragile will like an endless tide.

Finally, as the energy of the sixth lightning crystal was about to be completely absorbed, everyone except Qin Feng reached their limit.

They successively signaled their intention to give up, and were reluctantly led out of the forbidden zone by the guides and their elders.

Qin Feng was the only one left in the entire Thunder Pool.

On the shore, everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that remained calmly suspended in the middle of the pool.

Zhou Heyuan gasped for breath, looking at Qin Feng with eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Is this guy even human? He absorbed six pills and didn't react at all?"

Time passed day by day as everyone waited.

At the towering summit of Leishan Mountain, thunderclouds gathered again, lightning flashed, making the blue-purple Leichi pool appear even more mysterious.

Qin Feng, like an old monk in deep meditation, silently absorbed one lightning crystal after another in the lightning pool.

The expressions on the faces of the people on the shore changed from initial curiosity to shock, then to numbness, and finally to deep awe.

On the first day, he absorbed fifteen.

The next day, thirty.

On the third day, he successfully broke through the 40 mark!

On the shore, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

On the fourth day, fifty pills.

When he absorbed the fiftieth lightning crystal, a look of pain finally appeared on Qin Feng's usually calm face for the first time.

His brows were furrowed tightly, his face turned pale, and the muscles in his face were slightly contorted from the pain.

The real test has begun.

But he showed no intention of giving up.

On the fifth day, seventy-five pills were obtained.

His body began to develop tiny cracks, and trickles of blood seeped from under his skin, only to be quickly evaporated by the violent lightning energy.

Day 6, 90 pills!
When the guide on the shore announced the number, the entire place fell into dead silence!
Ninety!
He has surpassed the record set by the legendary curator Sun Chantang on the "Lei Chi Stele"!

Everyone held their breath and stared wide-eyed, as if witnessing the birth of a new legend.
