Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

However, he did not have any intention of plundering it, and simply handed the treasure box to Han Feng.

As soon as Han Feng got his hands on the treasure box, a powerful and heavy feeling spread out in his hands.

"This is......"

Han Feng's heart stirred slightly. Although he had not yet opened the treasure box, his keen divine sense told him that the treasure box contained an earth-attribute spiritual object!

"Let's open it and take a look, lest people say I've embezzled this treasure."

"It was the Wind Attribute Battle Saint who said this."

Han Feng nodded and opened the treasure box.

The next instant, a ball of yellow light flew out from it.

It felt very heavy before, but now it feels extremely light.

The wind-attribute Dou Sheng moved swiftly and intercepted the spiritual object.

"Keep it safe. I've handed this over to you."

Han Feng's gaze lingered on the earth-attribute spiritual object before him for a moment before he asked, "What kind of spiritual object is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"It would be strange if you had seen it."

The Wind-attribute Battle Saint introduced to Han Feng: "This is the Stone Clan's inherited spiritual treasure, Earth Spirit Marrow."

"It is a treasure left over from ancient times. The current Dou Qi Continent cannot nurture it. Every piece used is one less available."

The Wind Attribute Battle Saint said, "Earth Spirit Marrow can strengthen a cultivator's physical body. It is most effective for cultivators like you who have not undergone top-level body tempering."

"Of course, besides this function, Earth Spirit Marrow has various other wonderful uses, but I won't go into the details, as everyone's experience is different."

"You've used it too?"

Han Feng asked.

The Wind Attribute Battle Saint nodded, neither denying it nor denying it.

"This is also the magic of the Earth Spirit Marrow. Even if your main battle qi attribute is not earth, you can still enjoy its benefits."

For other spiritual objects, the requirements for attributes are more stringent, and there are rarely any characteristics that allow them to adapt to each other.

"Alright, the things have been delivered, I should go now."

"Here's a piece of advice: take advantage of the few days you still have to refine the Earth Spirit Marrow properly. Your next opponent is incredibly strong."

After the Wind Attribute Battle Saint finished speaking, he rode the wind and disappeared into the secret realm in the blink of an eye.

Han Feng watched the other person leave, holding the Earth Spirit Marrow in his hand, lost in thought.

"Terrifyingly strong?"

It looks like the next match will be a tough battle.

However, this was exactly what Han Feng wanted to do. If the strength of his opponents increased too slowly, when would he be able to meet the Stone Clan Chief?

Holding the Earth Spirit Marrow, Han Feng returned to his cultivation location, preparing to refine this spiritual object.

He first examined the Earth Spirit Marrow and, finding no problems, summoned the Xuanhuang Flame to slowly roast and refine it.

Strands of yellow energy flowed from the Earth Spirit Marrow into the Profound Yellow Flame, and after being specially refined, flowed into Han Feng's body.

This is the spirit refining technique that Han Feng learned from the Spirit Clan, and now it is proving useful again.

Refining the Earth Spirit Marrow directly might be risky, since it's a spiritual object given by someone else. If there's any hidden trickery involved, and it gets into your body, there could be hidden dangers.

However, by baking with a different kind of fire and refining with the Spirit Refining Technique to remove unwanted impurities, the Earth Spirit Marrow can be safely absorbed.

Han Feng slowly absorbed the special energy from the Earth Spirit Marrow, feeling his body's strength significantly increase.

This kind of promotion is not exciting at all; it is dignified and upright, giving people a sense of a smooth and easy path.

"As expected of the Stone Clan, even though they are now in decline, the treasures of the clan are still unmatched by the outside world."

Aside from the Stone Clan's cultivation methods, Han Feng seems to have discovered the reason why the Stone Clan's Battle Saints generally have higher physical combat strength than ordinary Saints.

This Earth Spirit Marrow can strengthen the physical body of a Battle Saint. Even among ancient clans, it would be a treasure that would be fiercely fought over.

The wind-attribute Dou Sheng just said that everyone will experience different effects from the earth spirit marrow.

At this moment, Han Feng felt a closer connection with the earth, as if his every breath was in sync with the earth, and from the outside, it looked as if he had merged with heaven and earth.

boom!

Within Han Feng's body, the second force also underwent a slight change.

The power of Xuanwu stirred slightly, and the Xuanwu tortoise shell obtained earlier emitted a faint yellow light.

Three days and nights later, Han Feng had completely refined the Earth Spirit Marrow in his hand.

His physical strength has increased significantly, at least by 30 percent compared to before.

Keep in mind that this is the power of a Dou Sheng expert; thirty percent is definitely not a small number.

"The prizes this time are really good."

Feeling the increase in power, Han Feng even had the thought that he wished he could take on more challenges.

Suppressing the "greedy" thought in his heart, Han Feng straightened his clothes and quietly waited for the next challenge to arrive.

Not long after, the two Stone Clan envoys who had previously brought Han Feng to this place flew over the sky above where Han Feng was.

"Yao Han, the next challenge is about to begin. Please come with us."

Han Feng leaped up from the ground and arrived in front of the two envoys.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the two men.

The envoy nodded expressionlessly, then turned and began to lead the way.

The challenge is not far away; it's right here in this secret realm.

The two messengers led Han Feng to a mysterious valley. The valley had a unique space, separated from the outside world by another layer, somewhat like a multi-dimensional structure.

This arrangement may have originally been intended to prevent outsiders from entering, but now it can be used as a battleground between Dou Sheng (Battle Saints).

Han Feng followed the envoy into the valley and found that someone was already waiting for him there.

Shi Kong slowly turned around and looked at the person who had come.

"coming."

Han Feng looked at Shi Kong, his pupils contracted slightly, and he was very shocked.

Why is it him?

Han Feng recognized the person in front of him and would not mistake him.

He shouldn't be a member of the Stone Clan, but rather an elder of the Soul Clan... Soul Void!

In his previous life, during the fight against the Soul Clan, Han Feng witnessed the alliance's experts battling against them.

The aftershocks alone wiped out many of the alliance's comrades, and even Han Feng, who was at the two-star Dou Sheng realm at the time, could only barely hold on.

Han Feng will never forget that memory!

At this moment, Shi Kong showed a very friendly smile. He looked at Han Feng and said politely, "Yao Han, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are indeed a handsome man, living up to your reputation."

Han Feng lowered his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the emotions in his eyes were completely concealed.

He didn't answer, he just nodded slightly.

Shi Kong was somewhat stunned by Han Feng's cold attitude.

Logically speaking, someone like Han Feng, a nobody from the local area, shouldn't have such arrogant thoughts.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he is such a person.

"I'm your opponent in this challenge. How about we take a break and chat for a bit?"

"Need not."

Han Feng interrupted Shi Kong, and his assertive attitude surprised Shi Kong once again.

"Alright, since you're so eager to fight, shall we begin now?"

Shi Kong said helplessly.

He originally wanted to learn something from Han Feng, but to his surprise, Han Feng didn't give him the chance at all.

The battle between the two was being watched by everyone.

Therefore, Shi Kong dared not act rashly.

In the valley, Han Feng and Shi Kong stood in their respective positions, their eyes meeting.

In an instant, a powerful fighting spirit swept over him, and Shi Kong immediately gained the upper hand.

He had watched several of Han Feng's previous battles and could tell that Han Feng wanted to hide his true strength.

Even in the battle against Shi Xing, he only revealed a trivial magical artifact.

Shi Kong could not deduce the origin of Yao Han from this.

However, his opponent now is the handwriting, and even if Yao Han wants to hide it, it will be difficult for him.

Shi Kong had been hiding within the Stone Clan for many years and would not normally have made a move, but now that the Soul Clan's plan is about to unfold, any event that could potentially cause significant changes needs to be monitored.

Figuring out why Yao Han came to challenge him is secondary; the most important thing is to seriously injure Han Feng, or even kill him in this challenge.

In the eyes of the elders of the Stone Clan, defeating Han Feng was to save face, while in Shi Kong's eyes, it was to prevent any major variable from being born in the Stone Clan.

Han Feng stood still, his face solemn, enduring the oppressive aura emanating from Shi Kong.

If his opponent were not Shi Kong, but a true Stone Clan Battle Saint, Han Feng might have faced this challenge more calmly.

But since the opponent is Shi Kong, it is destined that this battle will not end well.

While Shi Kong was thinking about killing Han Feng, Han Feng was also thinking about killing Shi Kong.

However, in the Stone Clan's territory, it is extremely difficult to achieve this, and even if it were done, there would be many troublesome follow-ups.

Han Feng took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and unleashed a pure Azure Dragon power.

The soft roar of the Azure Dragon broke the silence. Everyone, both inside and outside the arena, held their breath and stared intently at the Azure Dragon claw mark in Han Feng's hand.

"Is this Yao Han's fighting technique? It looks quite powerful!"

"Like a dragon's claw, could it be a trick of a magical beast?"

Inside the valley, Shi Kong's pupils contracted slightly, then a smile appeared on his face.

That's right...

It's only meaningful to give it your all.

The next instant, Han Feng took the initiative to attack. His figure suddenly appeared beside Shi Kong, and he attacked Shi Kong's face with a claw.

Shi Kong reacted quickly, punching Han Feng's Azure Dragon Claw. The two energies collided, and the two were forced back.

"What a fierce offensive! It feels completely different from their previous tactics."

Some people commented from outside the venue.

Previously, Han Feng mainly focused on defense, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But in this match, Han Feng took the initiative to attack from the start, and even used a deadly move aimed directly at the face.

"Azure Dragon Tears the Sky Claw!"

Han Feng's claw shadows converged, and a dazzling cyan claw light burst forth from his body, forming a phantom of a cyan dragon in mid-air.

"Well done!"

Shi Kong shouted loudly, and his fist struck out a fist imprint, slamming hard into the illusory image of the Azure Dragon.

"This power... it's rather domineering, it seems to be a method from the Eastern Xuan Continent..."

Shi Kong thought to himself.

The Eastern Xuan Empire uses the Azure Dragon as its totem, so Shi Kong could easily make the connection between the two.

However, the remote Dongxuan Continent is not the Central Continent, yet a Dou Sheng-level expert would appear there.

While he was pondering, Han Feng attacked again.

Shi Kong stopped thinking and continued exchanging blows with Han Feng.

"Kid, your fighting skills are not bad, but they're still a bit lacking."
