Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 42 Strength Enhancement

the other side.

After becoming a member of the Sanyuanzi (a local security unit), Luo Feng returned to his normal patrol duties.

A day passed naturally.

Since he lacked the strength to hunt normally, patrolling became almost his daily routine.

San Yuan's home is a slightly dilapidated courtyard located at the entrance of the second village, near the first village.

Two sections of the surrounding fence were damaged by the ferocious impact, and have only been simply repaired. They look out of place with the surrounding area.

After his father was brutally murdered, his family's life became much more difficult, and they relied entirely on the help and relief from the hunters in the village and his second uncle.

When Luo Feng returned to this residence, it was worlds apart from Dano's courtyard. Both the size and the building materials were far inferior.

Inside were two small houses. One small house was the kitchen, with a living room next to it, where the mother, Qing, lived. The other house was simply a living room, with two rooms, one for him and the other for his sister, "Sanhua."

"Mother, sister, I'm back." Luo Feng followed San Yuanzi's personality, being optimistic and cheerful, and the first thing he did when he got home was to call out.

Sanyuan's older sister, Sanhua, is a year older than him and is now waiting to marry into a good family, awaiting arrangements from the clan chief or the village.

Hearing the sound, Sanhua ran out of the kitchen:

"Brother, your second uncle brought over half a green tree seed today. He said it contains vital energy and that you should eat more of it so you can reach the standard for hunting as soon as possible."

Sanhua has a flower-shaped birthmark on her left cheek. Actually, it's not really a birthmark. When she was born, she was probably accidentally bumped into, which caused some pigment deposition and slowly formed a flower shape. That's why she was named Sanhua.

Third, they are the third person in the family.

"Green Tree Seed?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

Green Tree, similar to the Tree Ferocious he encountered in Three Heads Valley that day, is a fierce beast skilled in disguise, but such creatures are rare these days. He never expected to run into one again.

This kind of physical energy is indeed more abundant.

This also shows that his second uncle had put a lot of thought into it.

Once you reach the tenth level of body tempering, you can test whether you possess a Heavenly Aperture. Even if you don't, you can still meet the standards for hunting.

Even before entering the kitchen, you can smell the unique aroma of meat.

Luo Feng took off his outer robe, and Sanhua, as the older sister, had now been educated by the Qing family to be a virtuous woman, and took the initiative to help Luo Feng take the leather coat.

Luo Feng entered his bedroom and put the jade plate away.

He stepped out with his back foot.

Upon entering the kitchen, a large pot was simmering with meat from the green tree, and the aroma of the meat filled the entire room.

"You can eat after sitting for a while," Mother Qing said with a smile.

She didn't have high expectations for this son. As for him not going hunting, that was a good thing, at least he wouldn't die like her husband, under the ferocious claws.

It's best to delay as long as possible, and avoid repeating the same mistake.

Soon, the fragrant meat was placed on a large plate. This plate of meat was placed near Luo Feng, while Qing Shi stir-fried two kinds of vegetables with minced meat.

As women, they have low energy expenditure and eat less.

"Little brother, this was specially brought for you by your second uncle. Eat more," Sanhua said with a smile.

"You guys eat too." Luo Feng grabbed some, his hands covered in oil, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

The Qi of this Green Tree Seed is indeed better than that of ordinary ferocious flesh. Although it cannot compare to a Spirit-level Great Ferocious, it is three to five times stronger than that of ordinary ferocious flesh.

The sun set in the west and disappeared completely into the western mountains.

The night sky is still filled with shooting stars.

Luo Feng did a simple training session as usual, and then returned to his room.

The mind began collecting Qi through that Qi-gathering disc.

Although half a night's worth isn't much, it's far better than eating ferocious meat. Plus, with Luo Feng's self-created body-strengthening techniques, his body can digest it completely on the same day.

……

The following days were even more boring than before. Apart from patrolling, all I did every day was cultivate. But these undisturbed days were even happier than before.

Luo Feng was quietly growing stronger, without making a sound at all.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Luo Feng's room, he opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged:

"After ten days of hard work, this body's physical qualities have finally reached the tenth level of body tempering."

Looking at his hands and feeling the power in his body, Luo Feng nodded slightly.

This clone is young, highly malleable, and has some foundation. With his previous exploration, he has found a suitable method for body tempering. Reaching this level in ten days is quite remarkable.

but.

His physical fitness has only reached the tenth level of Body Tempering, but it's not the limit yet. If he continues to develop slowly, his body can still improve even more.

-

In the past few days, Luo Feng has also made some inquiries. When Adamostel led his team into Three Heads Valley, he lost three experts, two of whom were his grandsons. Since then, the search for extraterrestrial visitors has been suspended.

At least, they haven't actively gone out to search for it again.

His worries about Adamostell were gradually lessening, but he also knew that Adamostell might not give up easily.

The key is whether he can invite the so-called "mountain god".

Time flies.

Eight months have passed in the blink of an eye.

According to the calendar, there is still a little over a month until the start of a new year. At that time, the opening of the Awakening Stone will officially begin, and anyone who meets the requirements can apply.

Luo Feng's clone was constantly being talked about.

In their own backyard.

A tall, robust figure walked in. He was three meters tall and his body was all muscle. He was even stronger than the big wolf in the village.

Luo Feng's second uncle, whose identity is a clone, is known as Tie Shi.

In his hand, he was also carrying a huge stone lock.

"Sanzi, how's your physical condition now?" Tieshi's voice was rough and full of energy.

The stone lock landed heavily, and the vibration could be clearly felt within a radius of ten feet.

"Second Uncle," Luo Feng greeted him, "I feel I'm still a bit short of the tenth level of Body Tempering."

Luo Feng didn't want to do the test at this time.

His clone is already far stronger than the clone that only had the Spirit Aperture Pearl, but it is still a little short of the physical body that has been condensed into a spiritual body.

Going there at this time, if there's anything unusual about the guiding stone, would undoubtedly be suicide.

"Come on, try lifting this stone lock with one hand," Tie Shi instructed.

Luo Feng immediately did as instructed.

He tried to lift it with one hand, his face flushed, looking like he was struggling. He only managed to lift it about ten centimeters before slamming it down heavily five seconds later, leaving Luo Feng somewhat unsteady.

Tie Shi frowned: "You're still so far off? If that's the case, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the test when the Acupoint Stone opens in a month."

If it's just a little short, he could try to get some ferocious spirit-level jerky to make up for the gap. But if the gap is too big, there won't be enough time.

Luo Feng said helplessly, "Nineteen is not an option, so I'll just have to wait until I'm twenty."

There are some who only reach the required level at the age of twenty, which only indicates that their potential is somewhat lacking.

Tie Shi nodded: "Alright then."

After a moment's thought, he continued, "You don't need to patrol for the time being. I'll talk to the captain and give you this month to practice and see if you can meet the requirements before the test starts. Waiting another year is too long and not worth it."
