This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 279 - 40: Breakthrough, One Leaf Blinds the Eye_2

Chapter 279 -40: Breakthrough, One Leaf Blinds the Eye_2

Two figures exchanged a silent ‘conversation’ across the void:

“Remember our agreement.”

“Rest assured, my lord~”

…

Over an hour later, after confirming he wasn’t being tacked, Li Fei, with Lou Yujun in tow, entered a courtyard.

This was a new base established by Qingyuan City Management Company in Datong Prefecture City at his behest.

Before they arrived here, he had previously sprinkled Chicken Crown Blood on both himself and Lou Yujun.

“Ghost Lord.”

The company’s employees stationed in the courtyard greeted Li Fei deferentially upon his arrival.

Li Fei dropped the now unconscious Lou Yujun on the ground and commanded:

“Find specially made chains to lock her up, feed her the Qi Dispelling Pill, and ensure she is well guarded during this period.”

“Yes, Ghost Lord, we will take care of it!”

Two subordinates from the company took the order.

Lou Yujun’s body had been severely damaged by the overwhelming Blood Evil Qi, so Li Fei was not worried she could escape.

He intended to keep this Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse as leverage to negotiate with the Duanmu family.

After securing Lou Yujun, he left the base.

On his way, Li Fei glanced at the Myriad Blood Pearl within his body:

[Rank: 14 Level 1%

Blood Souls: 242

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Slaughter, Blood Power, Blood Spring

Transform Skill: Blood Demon]

After nearly two months of accumulation, the Myriad Blood Pearl was close to leveling up, and tonight’s battle allowed him to absorb a substantial amount of energy, achieving a successful level up at last.

With this upgrade, 26 Blood Souls were added; another such increase and Li Fei’s total Blood Soul count would surpass 300!

He then checked the ‘Blood Spring’ within him, which now contained 71.8 Blood Souls due to the usage of [Blood Power] at full strength twice.

Now he could store 2.42 Blood Souls daily in it; the storage rate had increased by almost 15% from before.

Besides the successful upgrade of the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei felt a sense of movement in the [Illusion Leaf] Implant at his forehead.

It was as if something was about to burst through his brows and grow out.

This was the precursor to his advancement from the Embryo Cultivation Stage to the Body Breaking Stage.

Li Fei’s [Illusion Leaf] had been in the Embryo Cultivation Stage for over forty days, and if it broke through to the Body Breaking Stage tonight, his pace would surpass Zhao Yi’s.

Zhao Renjie, a Great Mage who had cultivated to the Possession Stage, took over a hundred days to break from the Embryo Cultivation Stage to the Body Breaking Stage, while Zhao Yi did it in fifty-three days.

Even with the assistance of Dream Command, Zhao Yi’s talent was apparent.

Theoretically, her minimum potential was at least the Possession Stage!

And now, Li Fei’s advancement pace was even faster than Zhao Yi’s.

“Originally, it was expected to take a few more days; could it be stimulated by tonight’s battle?”

Li Fei speculated in his mind.

The psychic attack from Zhang Shan’s ‘Dragon Power’ he encountered tonight might be the trigger that stimulated the [Illusion Leaf], causing it to break into the Body Breaking Stage ahead of schedule.

More than an hour later, Li Fei did not return to Wuda but instead walked into another unoccupied base.

He had prepared the Elixirs needed for the [Illusion Leaf] Implant at this base.

After taking the Elixirs, the foreign sensation at his forehead grew stronger, and a pale green leaf-patterned sign lit up.

Li Fei felt something burrowing into his scalp.

Martial Artist Implants, after reaching the Qi Change Stage, would develop ‘branches’ throughout the entire body, except the brain.

Magic Implants, on the other hand, even up to the Divine Transformation Stage, would only occupy the brain.

Thus, theoretically, these two types of implants could coexist, each occupying different parts of the body without interfering with each other.

Regrettably, in reality, these two types of implants affect each other, all the more so at higher realms.

When [Illusion Leaf] was on the verge of breaking through to the Body Breaking Stage, the [steel armor] Implant inside Li Fei became restless immediately.

Even with Li Fei’s formidable control, suppressing it this time was somewhat strenuous.

He wasn’t flustered by this and took out a bottle of elixir he had prepared in advance.

This was the “Ice Continuation Pill,” specifically used to alleviate the conflicts between the Gold Attribute Implant and the Wood Attribute Implant.

Gold generates water, and water generates wood.

The “steel armor” is of the Gold Attribute, and the “Illusion Leaf” is of the Wood Attribute, so the Ice Continuation Pill, which is a Water Attribute elixir, is suitable for harmonizing them.

During the Embryo Cultivation Stage, Li Fei had already asked Shangguan Xiao to help purchase the Ice Continuation Pills on the black market in advance. The price of this elixir was not particularly expensive, costing 39 yuan per pill.

However, it could cause damage to the human body’s meridians. Long-term use would lead to atrophy and blockages in the meridians throughout the body, thereby affecting the circulation of Innate Qi and Force within the body and could even affect the Implant!

This is why Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts couldn’t progress into the late stages—no one could rely on elixirs indefinitely to resolve the conflicts between the two types of Implants.

But none of these were problems for Li Fei.

He swallowed an Ice Continuation Pill. Its effects were absorbed by the two Implants, and any harm caused was transferred by the Myriad Blood Pearl…

Soon, the steel armor Implant calmed down and returned to tranquility.

Li Fei could now focus on his Breakthrough.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Visualization Method of the Nightmare Sect, imagining a towering tree in his mind…

After continuing for more than two hours, the leaf-shaped pattern on Li Fei’s forehead gradually faded.

He slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, a faint ripple of Magic emanated from his body.

The Illusion Leaf had successfully broken through to the Body Breaking Stage!

From this point on, Li Fei could cast Magic.

Of course, he couldn’t cast all Magic, only those related to the Illusion Leaf Implant.

With his current Realm, he could cast three types of Magic:

Hypnotism, which only worked on ordinary people with relatively weak willpower and could affect their thoughts by casting.

This type of Magic was a favorite of many Cults.

Then there was the Illusion Technique. After casting it on a target, it would cause others to see multiple illusions of the target, making it difficult to discern the true body.

This kind of Magic was commonly used in combat. For example, after casting it on a Martial Artist, others would see nothing but illusions. If someone wanted to use a gun against that Martial Artist, it would be very difficult.

The last one, the “One Leaf Covering Eyes Technique,” was a distinctive Magic of the Nightmare Sect, also known as Invisibility Technique!

After casting it on a target, others would subconsciously ignore the presence of the target, as if they had never seen the target at all, achieving the effect of invisibility.

Of course, this type of invisibility was not real. If there was a significant commotion or if one were to attack others, the invisibility would be immediately dispelled.

Li Fei remembered the assassin he encountered tonight. He suspected that the other party had been under a similar Magic before making a move, giving them such powerful stealth capabilities that he had not detected them at all.

“Why not test its effects?”

Li Fei suddenly became playful.

Compared to Martial Arts, the Magic in this world interested him even more because it always seemed more mysterious.

Magicians at the Body Breaking Stage must prepare related materials and rituals in advance for casting, but Li Fei had the Dream Command, which saved him from such trouble.

He could directly cast Magic with the Dream Command, and the effects would be even better.

Taking out the Dream Command from his chest, Li Fei operated it according to the casting content recorded in the booklet given by Zhao Yi.

With a thought, a green leaf-shaped pattern lit up on his forehead once again, and then a Magical ripple was channeled into the Dream Command.

Li Fei chanted unintelligible syllables, for which he had specially set aside an hour every evening to practice.

Soon, Li Fei felt a profound sensation as the Dream Command emitted a beam of light, striking him.

“Did it work?”

Li Fei felt a sense of fatigue emanating from the Illusion Leaf Implant.

With his current Early Stage Body Breaking Rank Cultivation, he could only cast Magic a few times in a short period.

He opened the door and walked out, quickly arriving on the bustling street.

He walked up to a passerby, who seemed not to see him at all and continued on their way without a sideways glance.

Li Fei stretched out his hand and waved it a few times in front of them, but the passerby still showed no reaction.

One Leaf Covering Eyes, success!
