Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 221: Continuing the Push!

The night was silent.

Inside the cave, Huo Man sat cross-legged in a corner, his expression solemn, as he attempted to break through the barrier.

Luo Qingfeng sat in front of her, ready for anything.

The cave entrance was sealed off, and a simple formation was set up. Dingdang was also guarding the entrance.

Time passed little by little.

After accumulating all its power, the fiery vines began their first attempt to break through the barrier.

Her body trembled slightly, her brows furrowed, and a touch of color returned to her rosy cheeks, clearly indicating that her first thrust had been completed.

After a brief period of preparation, the second sprint began.

Luo Qingfeng sat in front of her, closing his eyes to rest, and did not rush to help.

At first, Huo Man wanted to train with him to break through her cultivation barrier, but Luo Qingfeng repeatedly "dissuaded" and "encouraged" her.

Only after that did she decide to try it herself first.

"My talent isn't as good as my senior sister's, but I can still break through easily. I believe she can also rely on herself and break through easily."

Dual cultivation is definitely fine for general cultivation, but to be honest, Huo Man wasn't sure about using it for breakthroughs, so she agreed to give it a try first.

However, before she attempted the challenge, she added, "Take off your clothes, be ready at any time! If I run out of energy halfway through, or am unable to break through, I will still need you."

Luo Qingfeng remained silent.

He felt that with the girl's talent, there shouldn't be any problem.

During his free time, he checked the data in his mind again.

[Process: Five]

[Star Transformation Realm, Progress: Ninety-Eight]

He'll be here soon too.

The second line of data is still two points short; I estimate that killing two more monsters will be enough.

"Um----"

Just then, Firevine suddenly groaned.

Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes and saw that the girl in front of him had sweat on her forehead, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her face showed a look of tension and pain.

Clearly, the journey to the border was not smooth.

"help----"

After Huo Man broke through the barrier once again, he asked for help, his voice trembling slightly.

Luo Qingfeng immediately activated the star power within his body, then stretched out his palms and placed them on her shoulders, preparing to infuse her with energy.

Huo Man opened her eyes, glanced at him, then raised her hands, grasped his wrists, and moved his palms down to her chest.

Luo Qingfeng trembled slightly, opened his eyes, and met her gaze.

"While I may not be as good as your wife, I am still quite something, am I?"

For the first time ever, Huo Man made a joke, then closed his eyes, activated his star power, and began another round of breakthroughs.

Luo Qingfeng dared not be careless, and immediately calmed his mind and activated his star power to help.

The two forces converged within the Fire Vine's body, then easily merged together, and began to surge towards the distant, dark pass.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Again and again, until dawn.

Dingdang diligently guarded the cave entrance, occasionally glancing back at the two of them before immediately looking back out of the cave.

Huo Man's body was burning hot. After a night of trying to break through, he had not succeeded and seemed to be getting a little impatient.

Actually, she had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

She also knew that it would take at least two days to break through from the Opening Heaven Realm to the Star Transformation Realm. However, Luo Qingfeng's easy breakthrough yesterday caused some changes in her mindset.

She believed that her talent was in no way inferior to this guy's, and even stronger. Yesterday, this guy broke through in just a short while, and she felt that even if she was not good enough, one night would definitely be enough.

As a result, by dawn, there was not a trace of the pass being loosened.

How could she not be anxious?

"Perhaps it's because of my special physique that my breakthrough is more difficult than this guy's. Once I break through to the Star Transformation Realm, my strength will definitely surpass this guy's—"

She comforted herself with this thought.

"Slow down and rest for a bit. If you keep pushing through at full speed like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it up for long, and your meridians might get damaged."

Seeing her impatience and her relentless, intense attempts to break through the barrier, Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to remind her.

After Huo Man failed to break through the barrier once again, her chest heaved, and she opened her eyes to look at him, saying, "If you care about me, you should find a way to give me more power to help me break through the barrier."

While it's possible to transfer power using both hands, it's certainly not as effective as the other method.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng remained silent.

"Hmph, hypocrite, ungrateful!"

Huo Man scoffed and continued to push his power to break through the barrier.

This time, however, she was much slower. After breaking through the barrier once, she slowed down the pace of accumulating star power, allowing the stars in her meridians and dantian to rest.

Luo Qingfeng took this opportunity to check the data in his mind.

Upon inspection, they were immediately delighted.

[Process: Five]

[Star Transformation Realm, Progress: 100]

The second line of data has reached one hundred, which means he can also advance to the next level!

However, he cannot act rashly at this time.

He had spent the entire night channeling his star power into the girl, which had taken a toll on his mental energy. Now, the girl was at a critical juncture in her progress, so he had no choice but to continue helping her break through the barrier.

As for himself, he can only rest for two days before preparing to try again.

"boom!"

The flames gathered power once more and surged toward the pass.

The fierce force crashed against an invisible barrier like a flood, dissipating and striking and tempering her meridians.

Huo Man trembled, and two streaks of color appeared on her face.

Clearly, the explosive force of this impact was too much for her to handle.

"call----"

As she continued to slowly circulate the stellar energy within her dantian, she opened her eyes, looked at him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I feel like I can't hold on much longer—the only way now is for you to help me open another acupoint and input energy from there—"

Luo Qingfeng also opened his eyes and said, "I'm afraid it will backfire. After all, I am at the Star Transformation Realm. If you can't withstand it, I'm afraid your meridians will tear and your acupoints will shatter. At that time—"

Firevine fell silent.

Actually, she couldn't be sure if this method would work, and she also felt that what he said made sense. Now that he had broken through to the Star Transformation Realm, the energy in his body was extremely terrifying. If it got out of control, it would definitely be beyond what her current meridians and acupoints could withstand.

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you help me before I broke through?"

Huo Man felt somewhat aggrieved, and her heart was filled with anxiety and unease.

If I fail to break through this time, and my meridians and acupoints are injured, without the energy to repair them after advancing, it will probably take more than half a year just to recover. If I want to break through again, it will probably be a year later, or my body may be severely damaged and I will be unable to break through at all.

Thinking of all this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She is the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Fire Clan, the hope of the Blazing Fire Clan. If her cultivation stagnates and she can no longer break through, she will have no face to see her father and mother, as well as the master of the Blazing Fire Clan.

"If I fail, I might as well die here, boohoo—"

Tears streamed down her face, and the star power gathering within her began to fluctuate due to the change in her emotions.

Sensing danger, Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Senior Sister, you'll definitely break through. Keep pushing forward. I've increased my power a little."

As he spoke, he channeled more of his star power into her body through his palms.

However, at this moment, Huo Man's body trembled, and the star power within his body began to become violent and chaotic, running wildly everywhere. The power he had inputted also began to become frenzied and uncontrollable.

Luo Qingfeng's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to stop the flow of energy, but his palms seemed to be firmly attached to her body. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove them, and the power within him continued to flow into her body.

Huo Man also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly suppressed his emotions, trying to control the surging power within him, but it seemed he could no longer control it.

Her entire body turned crimson, and the meridians and acupoints in her body were almost unable to withstand the impact of the fierce explosive force.

Am I about to explode and die?

At that moment, she was filled with fear and helplessness.

At the same time, that terrifying, raging power suddenly entered Luo Qingfeng's body through his palms.

As if seduced, the star power in Luo Qingfeng's dantian suddenly became chaotic and turbulent, and then merged with that power, surging in all directions.

Soon, his entire body turned bright red, and he felt as if all the meridians and acupoints in his body were about to burst.

The two were powerless to control their own destiny; the power within them was like the surging waves of a hurricane, raging wildly.

"I----"

Huo Man felt she could no longer bear it; the power within her was out of control, and she collapsed onto him in pain and despair.

No sooner had she fallen into his arms than the violent energy within them suddenly seemed to find an outlet, flowing rapidly back and forth through the point where their bodies touched. The meridians and acupoints in their bodies seemed to become one, with all the turbulent energy surging and flowing back and forth within them.

Their meridians were expanded and their acupoints were opened, and their bodies were being fiercely tempered by this frenzied power.

Just as Luo Qingfeng was at a loss, Huo Man suddenly raised her cheek and kissed him.

In an instant, something seemed to be stirred up, surging like a tidal wave!

Luo Qingfeng was in a daze, and involuntarily hugged the girl in his arms tightly.

Strangely, the frenzied power within the two began to gradually subside, and the pain in their bodies began to lessen.

Dingdang, who was guarding the door, stared wide-eyed at the two of them, then quickly turned her head away to look outside the cave, raising her two little paws to cover her eyes.
