Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Some soldiers wept with joy.

They paid such a heavy price, but finally the dawn of victory has arrived.

During that time, the repeated despair almost broke them.

It was the Empress who gave them the faith to persevere.

The Empress looked at the soldiers and was filled with mixed emotions.

"You have worked hard."

----------

After emerging from the Purple Shattered Ruins, the Empress and others sealed the Purple Shattered Ruins.

The devastating cost of this war was something no one had anticipated.

If the Empress had known the enemy behind her was so powerful, she might not have sent her soldiers into battle; instead, she would have chosen to sacrifice herself beforehand.

The Evil Eye hadn't expected the Empress to be so decisive. Otherwise, if it had known that it was doomed to lose this battle no matter what, it wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to plan and lure the Empress into the trap.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, although the soldiers suffered injuries of varying degrees, their contributions indirectly saved the Empress's life, and the future Southern Li Empire may have one more Dou Sheng monarch.

At that time, the Southern Empire will be stronger than ever before.

The post-war handling of matters is proceeding step by step.

Transport ships carried the wounded soldiers back to the city for medical treatment.

The Empress herself was also seriously injured, but she did not wait for herself to fully recover. After stabilizing her condition, she left the pass to oversee the affairs.

Han Feng accepted the Empress's invitation and stayed behind to refine healing pills.

Wenren Xuan waited for the imperial alchemists to start refining pills with him.

While refining pills, Han Feng familiarized himself with the newly acquired "Myriad Beast Spirit Fire" and "Southern Bright Fire".

He discovered that the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and the Myriad Beast Cauldron were a perfect match, increasing the efficiency of alchemy by more than 50%.

It should be noted that his skill level was already the limit that alchemists of the same grade could reach, so to break through under such circumstances was truly an unexpected delight.

As for the Southern Ming Fire.

This beast fire contains the aura of light, which has a strong restraining effect on dark battle aura.

Han Feng had a sudden inspiration. He took out the fragments of the demonic sword from before and found that burning them with the Nanming Fire easily purified the demonic energy within.

In this way, he also became a master of exorcising demons.

However, the purifying effect of Nanming Fire is mainly reflected in its effect on dark energy, and it is not so effective against other energies.

Light-attribute battle aura is not effective against any other attributes except for dark-attribute battle aura, which is quite normal.

During a break from alchemy, Han Feng took the opportunity to integrate the Southern Bright Fire into the "Burning Technique." The process went smoothly, and although he didn't evolve the "Burning Technique" to the Heavenly Rank, Han Feng clearly felt that the quality of his battle qi had improved by a small level.

Even his cultivation level broke through to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm.

The speed of his progress was so fast that even Han Feng himself felt it was somewhat exaggerated.

He secretly resolved to consolidate his foundation in the coming period.

This also serves as preparation for breaking through to the Dou Zun level.

The Dou Zun realm was not particularly difficult for Han Feng.

Just practice step by step.

His physique has been refined; the next step is to accumulate battle qi, compress it, and achieve a qualitative change.

This is a slow and gradual process; even though Han Feng has a profound understanding of the power of laws, he cannot skip this accumulation process.

After refining the last batch of healing pills, Han Feng handed them to the staff outside the room.

He left the room and went directly to see the Empress.

The Imperial Palace of Suzaku Castle.

Han Feng walked through the palace gate. This was his first time here, but he had come to say goodbye.

Upon arriving at the main hall where the Empress was working, Han Feng saw Sikong Chan diligently working.

Being an emperor is really not an easy job...

Han Feng stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, your injuries have not yet healed."

It's been so many days already; the Empress is becoming increasingly engrossed in her work, neglecting both sleep and meals.

"It's just a side effect of overdrawing one's strength; I'm already very lucky."

Without you, I would be dead.

"Your Majesty, I am about to leave."

Upon hearing this, the Empress paused and put down her pen.

"Back to the Northwest Continent?"

Han Feng had previously mentioned his background.

Han Feng nodded.

"We've been out for so long, it's time to go back."

The Empress nodded and took out an item from her storage ring.

"You gave me a token, and I will give you a gift in return."

Han Feng noticed that the Empress had a belt in her hand.

"This is......"

"A spiritual artifact can not only store items, but also store energy, and when necessary, it can also deploy a shield to withstand a blow from a Dou Zun."

The Empress smiled and said, "Although you may not need it, it is still a token of my goodwill, so you cannot refuse it."

Han Feng looked at the character "Chan" engraved on the space spirit stone in the middle of his belt and smiled slightly.

"Then I'll accept it."

The Empress herself put it on him and walked away to take a look.

"good."

Han Feng tightened his waist and bid a final farewell to the Empress.

"See you later."

"See you later."

Han Feng took out the Void God Tablet, stepped into the void, and disappeared from the palace.

The Empress watched him disappear before her eyes, feeling a deep sense of loss.

Han Feng, when we meet again, I will surely be the first to enter the Holy Realm!

Once I win the bet, I will keep you by my side.

I'll make you... my one and only husband!

Chapter 118 An Easy-going Disciple

Medicine Saint Valley.

In a secluded cultivation room, a large amount of natural energy suddenly surged into the room.

A moment later, a beam of light shot into the sky.

Startled awake by the noise, Lin Xian'er quickly withdrew her cultivation and returned to her body.

At this moment, her snow-white skin was covered with a light purple aura-infused gauze robe.

She has become a Fighter.

Lin Xian'er looked out the window at the source of the energy surge and exclaimed, "Aunt Ye has broken through!"

Inside the pillar of light, a figure in emerald green slowly spread its wings of battle aura.

Ye Qingyun exhaled a long breath, feeling the battle qi energy within her body, which had become several times stronger. The emerald green life essence located in her dantian underwent a qualitative leap at this moment.

"Is this... the Battle King?"

I have finally reached the watershed level that my master spoke of.

It took her one year and three months since she broke through to the Dou Ling realm to finally reach this level.

Ye Qingyun immediately wanted to share her joy of breaking through with Han Feng.

Unfortunately, Han Feng was out on business and had not yet returned.

Ye Qingyun slowly descended from the sky and came to Lin Xian'er and her daughter's side.

"Mommy, you can fly!"

Qinglin clapped her little hands, her face full of excitement.

Ye Qingyun patted her daughter's head, marveling at the changes of time. Half a year ago, she went into seclusion to break through her cultivation, but she never expected that her daughter would grow so much taller after she came out of seclusion.

Before we knew it, you'd grown up too.

Ye Qingyun looked at Qinglin with eyes full of love.

There is nothing more fulfilling than watching your children grow up.

For a moment, even the joy of breaking through to the Dou Wang level was overshadowed.

With a proud expression, Qinglin reported to her mother, "Mother, I have broken through to the seventh level of Dou Qi!"

"Sister Xian'er said that in another six months, I will be able to break through to the Dou Zhe level!"

"Qinglin is great."

Ye Qingyun encouraged her.

Just as the three were talking, a rift opened in the void above Medicine Saint Valley, and a figure walked out from it.

Han Feng glanced at the remaining energy in the world and guessed what had happened.

"A breakthrough?"

Han Feng saw Ye Qingyun and the other two chatting happily on the grass, so he flew towards them.

"Owner?"

Ye Qingyun noticed Han Feng's arrival immediately. Overjoyed, she spread her battle qi wings and flew towards Han Feng.

However, when he flew into the air and bumped into Han Feng, he suddenly realized something and didn't know what to do with his hands, so he awkwardly stopped in place.

Han Feng smiled gently and stepped forward to give the conservative little maid a hug.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Dou Wang level."

Ye Qingyun's face flushed instantly, and her voice became much softer.

"Master, welcome back."

The two flew to the ground, and Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin rushed over impatiently.

They tacitly discovered that the first benefit of the Fighting Wings was that they could be the first to greet Han Feng when he returned.

Ye Qingyun blushed and stepped aside; she had really overstepped her bounds just now.

My heart is still pounding a little.

The moment Han Feng embraced the two women, he sensed something different.

Xian'er has grown up.

Qinglin is no longer the little radish head she used to be.

At that moment, Han Feng had the same experience as Ye Qingyun.
